SL MO Niventra
ACO: And no, Commander, I don't have anything for your arm, unfortunately...
 
SL CEO Spanner
::stands behind the ACO, keeping her eye on him ::
 
VD Chief Abm:
CNS/TO: We should be very near the caves. ::slows his horse to a slow trot and raises his arm, signaling them all to stop:: All: Gather round! These newcomers say they have the bravery to explore our caves. TO/CNS: So, what say you? Are you as brave as your words? ::turns in his saddle to look back at the CTO also::
 
SL ACO Rome
::holds his arm close to him:: MO: Hopefully we'll get back to the tribe and find something there then. ::smiles::
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: reaches down and rips strips from the long skirt she is wearing ::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Groans slightly as he is seated the wrong way on his horse and doesn't really know where he's going.:: Abm: I wish this thing would point me in the right direction.
 
SL ACO Rome
::leads the group farther down the cave:: CEO: Do you know where we are relatively to where the nearest camp is?
 
SL MO Niventra
::is really wishing that they can get back to modern medicine as quickly as possible as well::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
Abm: What are you saying, that we'll be going into the caves first?
 
VD AXO Burton
::Looking around to see where they may be heading::
 
ACTION: Faint, spotty areas of amber glow starts to fill the cave around Rome and the others. They look as if they are coming from embedded stones on the cave wall.
 
VD Chief Abm:
::looks grimly at the man:: CNS: Yes. It is a good place to rest and your brave woman has proclaimed that is what she wishes to do.
 
SL CEO Spanner
ACO: I knew where we were IF we were on the surface....I'm not too certain now.
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Looks over to the Counselor and tries to spin his horse around so that he can see where they are headed.::
 
SL ACO Rome
::stops and leans closer, bringing the torch up:: MO: Ideas what this is?
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: now the skirt is shorter and easier to walk in and hands the strips to the MO :: MO: Maybe this will help.
 
SL MO Niventra
CEO: Thank you, Karri, but it might not help his pain too much...
 
SL MO Niventra
ACO: Aside from the obvious glowing rock?
 
VD CTO Murphy
Amb: I will go, as soon as you cut this strap off me.
 
VD AXO Burton
Amb: No one goes anywhere without me.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::follows the group, still bothered about that vision::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
Abm: I think that job would be better suited for my friend here, who has tactical training ::Indicates Jorn.::
 
VD TO Thalataar
Amb: I will go just because I want to get off this thing. ::Sobs softly.::
 
SL MO Niventra
::quickly makes a sling and ties it onto the ACO who is busy with the glowing rocks:: ACO: Hold still...
 
SL CEO Spanner
MO: Yes, I know, but it maybe they can be used as bandages.
 
<Odn> 
::jumps off his horse and pulls his hunting knife out, striding over to the CTO and slips the blade under the leather, neatly and deftly slicing the strap off:: You have given your word. Now be true to it.
 
SL ACO Rome
::struggles against the MO, but gives up and let's her sling his arm up:: MO: Thank you doctor.
 
ACTION: A small glow stone loosens from the rock wall and falls onto Commander Rome's head, and landing on the ground next to him.
 
VD TO Thalataar
CNS: Can't you tell this thing to go straight or something? ::Grumbles loudly.::
 
VD Chief Abm:
Senior Officers: Then so be it. ::steps off his stella and asks two guards to bring torches for them::
 
SL ACO Rome
::leans down and examines the stone closer without touching it:: MO/CEO: Amazing.
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Sighs and grabs the stella's reins, halting it.:: TO: Get off, Jorn. You'll hurt yourself.
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: leans over :; ACO: What is it?
 
SL ACO Rome
CEO: I'm not sure love....I would love to study it some more. ::Reaches out to touch the small stone::
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Slips off the stella and looks in the Chief's eyes:: Odn: I'll take care of them.
 
SL CEO Spanner
ACO: Be careful.
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Falls off the horse and dusts himself off.:: Stella: Hmph! ::Heads off to the others.:: CNS: Thank you.
 
<Odn> 
::takes the torches and gives one each to the Newcomers, laughs at the Counselor's words to the funny Newcomer that knows not how to ride::
 
SL MO Niventra
::is suddenly struck by a massive throbbing headache and calls out, panicked: going without her drugs too long::
 
<Odn> 
::smiles at the CTO:: I know you will. You can handle most anything I believe.
 
SL ACO Rome
::touches the stone, and it feels warm to the touch....and starts glowing brighter as he takes it up::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::watches as Odn laughs at the TO's fall and wonders why::
 
SL ACO Rome
MO: Doc!
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Hands his own reins and Jorn's to a VD man and joins Jorn with the others.::
 
VD Chief Abm:
::goes over to his wife who has gotten off her stella and is starting to set up camp, gives her a hug and kisses her:: Mira: Do not worry for me. We will be safe. The Whispering Ones will be kind to us this time. I promise.
 
VD AXO Burton
::Listens to the CTO talk::
 
ACTION: The only torch Rome's group was using burns out, and all that's left is the faint light from the amber stones.
 
VD CTO Murphy
Odn: I will need weapons to help protect the team going. May I borrow some?
 
VD TO Thalataar
CNS: Do you ever wonder my friend how we ever got into this mess. ::Ruffles his beard a bit and walks on with the others.::
 
SL MO Niventra
::waves him off:: ACO: It's okay... we just need to get back very soon... ::the darkness eases her pain slightly::
 
<Mira> 
Abm/Odn/Arcadia Officers: Be careful! We have lost too many in those evil caves.
 
SL ACO Rome
::throws the useless torch away and stands up, the stone in his hand:: MO: Are you sure....?
 
VD CSO Kalek
::follows the group::
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: reaches out to find the MO in the dark ::
 
VD AXO Burton
CTO: Wouldn't have a spare phaser hidden by chance?
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: The question is how do we get out of it.
 
VD CTO Murphy
AXO: Afraid not Sir. Nothing came along with us either.
 
VD CNS HeiRan
TO: Yes, I do, actually... appearing on an unknown planet, naked and weaponless, is not exactly a 'usual' mode of travel
 
<Odn> 
::looks long at the CTO and then nods once, curtly:: Yes, I think that would be wise. ::a guard overhearing rushes to fetch a spear and knives and hands them all to the CTO::
 
<Mira> 
CTO: Beware...it is not the body that is in danger, but the mind. ::walks back over to stir in some herbs in the cookpot::
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: If we knew that answer already we wouldn't be here at this moment.
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Hands all but one knife out to the others, keeps the last knife for herself and the spear also::
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: looks around to see how many of those little glowing rocks there are ::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::nods at the TO's comment:: TO: Indeed.
 
SL ACO Rome
MO/CEO: Let's carry on then, if you can pry a stone lose, take one. They might help in the darkness.
 
ACTION: The sound of small children giggling further up the cave can be heard.
 
SL ACO Rome
::starts walking::
 
VD CTO Murphy
Mira: Dinna worry, lass. I'm Irish, the hardest headed people in the galaxy. ::winks::
 
SL MO Niventra
ACO: Let's just worry less about me and more about getting out of here... ::rubs her temples::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Takes a knife. He looks at it for an awkwardly long moment, his head slightly cocked.:: Self: At least I know how to use one of these...
 
SL CEO Spanner
ACO/MO: Do you hear that?
 
SL ACO Rome
::Stops dead in his tracks:: CEO/MO: Okay that was just creepy.
 
SL ACO Rome
::calls out loudly:: Outloud: Hello there!
 
<Mira> 
::chuckles:: CTO: You may need it. Watch the funny lookin one, though. He needs protecting. ::points to the TO and shakes her head::
 
VD TO Thalataar
CNS: How did you get that?! ::Grumbles.:: I didn't get one. Do they expect me to use my hands!?
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: tries to pry one of the glowing rocks out ::
 
ACTION: The giggling ceases, and a loud crash can be heard, enough to cause the cave to rumble slightly.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::looks at the CNS'knife:: TO: It seems our friends has been rewarded with weaponry.
 
SL ACO Rome
Self: Okay...calling out might have been a bad idea.
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: braces herself against the wall ::
 
<Odn> 
::his limping permacat comes to his side and rubs against him, growling under his breath, reaches down to pet his head and looks at his father::
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO/CNS: Maybe they are expecting us throwing some rocks.
 
VD CTO Murphy
Mira: I wouldn't worry, he's even harder headed than me. ::grins wider::
 
SL ACO Rome
CEO/MO: Come on...let's move faster, there's obviously someone here. ::quickens his pace::
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: I would not be surprised if they heard about my heroics not that long ago when I rescue Lieutenant Spanner from the vine monster. ::Appears proud.::
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: I used my bare hands on that meanie.
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: nods and follows the ACO ::
 
VD Chief Abm:
::walks to the front of the cave and holds his torch in front of him and sheathes his knife:: Senior officers: Let us go inside then... ::starts to walk in slowly, moving his torch about casting shadows everywhere::
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: Really? ::raises a brow:: I'd love to hear about that story at a later moment.
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Glares at Jorn and Kalek:: TO/CSO: Pay attention, you two, you've got knives too. Murphy got them for us. ::Points to them on the ground where they dropped.::
 
SL MO Niventra
::reaches out with her mind, but finds her ability weakened due to the pain in her head::
 
VD CTO Murphy
::hands her sidekick a knife:: TO: You ready for this?
 
SL ACO Rome
::rounds another corner and the bright stones start to make him disoriented, but keeps a hand trailing one wall::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
Self: Maybe I won't end up liking him... ::Whispers to himself as he follows close behind Abm.::
 
ACTION: As Rome's group press forward, the scenery bend and change around them, and suddenly they are no longer running on solid rock, but air....
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Grabs the knife.:: CTO: Oh so you think I can't use my hands do you?! ::Growls and throws his hands in the air.:: The only thing keeping me from losing my mind on this planet is the Counselor. ::Whimpers.:: My eyebrows ache.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::looks at the CNS and then at the knives:: CNS: Ah. I see. ::grabs a knife:: CNS/TO: I was really considering throwing rocks, but then...
 
<Odn> 
CTO: I came here only once...when I was a young lad. I heard voices...and as if something were touching me, crawling inside my head. Since then I have never ventured in.
 
VD AXO Burton
Self: What a command I have here.
 
SL ACO Rome
::almost lets out a scream as the ground beneath him vanishes.....but he doesn't fall:: Self: Gods..what is this? ::thinks back to when he met Sinjin and was in a similar position::
 
VD Chief Abm:
::looks behind him at the others:: All: Do not dawdle and look carefully, there is rumoured to be paintings...prophecies. I have wished all my life to see them.
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: looks down and almost looses it. :: ACO: What the hell is going on here?
 
VD CSO Kalek
::frowns at Odn's comment, gets closer::
 
SL ACO Rome
CEO/MO: Karri, Doctor? Are you alright?
 
VD CTO Murphy
::whispers quietly between them:: TO: Pull yourself together lad. We need to set the example. I gave this knife to you so you could do your job better. Now focus, we have a job to do.
 
SL MO Niventra
::is disoriented by the lack of ground beneath them:: ACO/CEO: Where...?
 
SL ACO Rome
All: Stay still.
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: stops :: ACO: Yyyyes.
 
VD CTO Murphy
Odn: Thanks for the warning. We should be ok as long as we stay focused.
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Grumbles and looks up to the ceiling.:: Self: I would very much like to be in a mud bath at this moment. ::Follows alongside the others and secures the knife to his belt.::
 
ACTION: Abm suddenly ducks and shouts "Look out!" Large furry batlike mammals begin flying crazily about, barely skimming beside everyone in the caves!
 
ACTION: The amber light expand and seem to consume the black rock of the cave in an almost corrosive manner, then the group is surrounded by an omnipresent field of golden light, which slowly fades, and their feet suddenly feel as if they standing on something soft...
 
VD AXO Burton
::Crouches from the creatures::
 
SL CEO Spanner
:: reaches out to take the MO's hand and then Jonathan's :: ACO/MO: If we fall, we fall together.
 
VD TO Thalataar
Aloud: My beard! ::Ducks and hides his head.::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Jumps to the ground, being startled by the bat-creatures.:: Self: Ah! What are they?!
 
VD CSO Kalek
::ducks:: CNS: Watch out!
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Takes point for the group, spear held ready and looking and listening in all directions::
 
SL ACO Rome
::takes slow breaths, making sure not to get too disoriented, then feels like his feet are on something solid and soft:: MO/CEO: You guys still with me?
 
VD CSO Kalek
CNS: Are you okay? ::looks around::
 
SL MO Niventra
ACO: Yes, we're here.
 
ACTION: In seconds, Rome's group seem to be surrounded by...the bridge of the USS Cygnus.
 
ACTION: The TO feels a bite on his shoulder. The CSO gets hit in the back by the black flying mammals. The flurry of wings continues...
 
SL CEO Spanner
@:: nods :: ACO: Still here.
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Uses the spear to start stabbing at the bats::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::gets hit and falls:: Uff!
 
SL MO Niventra
@::looks around and wants to breathe a sigh of relief, but is still wary::
 
SL ACO Rome
@::hears the familiar whine of the engines and beeps from consoles as he opens his eyes and finds himself standing on his own Bridge, overlooking the viewscreen::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Stands up, his hand shaking noticeably.:: CSO: Yes, of course... I... I'm fine. Can we get out of here? ::Yells above the flurry of wing-flaps overhead.::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Yelps and grabs to his shoulder in an attempt to get whatever bit him.:: Aloud: Blasted beast! I'll bite back don't you know!
 
VD Chief Abm:
::waves his torch around trying to fend off the creatures and shouts:: All: They are only trying to leave for their midnight hunting.
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Pulls Kalek a bit off the floor.:: CSO: What about -you-?!
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ ACO: How the hell!?!?!?!?!?!?
 
SL MO Niventra
@ACO/CEO: This is too good to be true, I think...
 
SL ACO Rome
@CEO/MO: I don't care....but I love it.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::regains breath and slowly stands with the CNS's help:: TO: Thank you. I seem to be fine.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@:: reaches over and pinches Jonathan ::
 
SL ACO Rome
@CEO: Karri, take CONN, tell me where we are! MO: Doctor, take Science and tell me what is out there.
 
SL ACO Rome
@CEO: Ouch...time for that later. ::smiles and pats her on the back softly::
 
ACTION: The flying beasties fly on out of the cave and all is quiet again.
 
SCENE: The bridge panels, upon closer inspection, are not typical LCARS, but are showing a multitude of hieroglyphics in place of the usual Starfleet displays. The viewscreen is showing nothing but open space.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ACO: Well, I know it's not a dream then. :: winks and smiles and she takes the CONN and taps at the console to find out where they are ::
 
VD CTO Murphy
ALL: Sound off... everyone all right?
 
SL ACO Rome
@::runs over to his seat and sits down and opens his armrest.......and looks at the screen:: All: Do your consoles work?
 
<Odn> 
All: Are you all right? ::looks at each of them one by one:: Any who fear may go back and help the women cook....
 
VD AXO Burton
::Looking for any cave paintings::
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: Are you okay? ::analyzes:: TO: It seems that you have been bitten.
 
SL MO Niventra
@ACO/CEO: I can't read this...
 
SL ACO Rome
@CIV: Paige, try and see if you can access the OPS systems and get this LCARS to work properly.
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Is still shaking a bit, but recovers quickly. His voice is slightly shaky.:: CTO/Odn: I'm fine!
 
SL CEO Spanner
@:: looks over her shoulder :: MO: Just a sec and I'll come take a look.
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Grumbles and grabs onto his shoulder.:: CSO: I'm not doing this to provide entertainment that is for certain.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::touches the TO's shoulder:: TO: Feeling dizzy or something alike?
 
VD CIV Harker
@ACO:Right Skipper ::attempts to access ops systems.::
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: I seem to be okay. ::Nods to the Vulcan.::
 
SL ACO Rome
@Computer: Computer, broadcast a full spectrum subspace message to all Federation and Starfleet signatures and outposts. Mayday.
 
ACTION: As the AXO shines his torch on a far wall, some paintings are seen...and hieroglyphics.
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: Very well.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@All: Crud! I knew this was too good to be true!
 
VD CSO Kalek
::looks at the wall:: Self: Fascinating...
 
VD AXO Burton
All: Over here. ::Pointing to the paintings::
 
SL ACO Rome
@::stands up....holding his breath, hoping the computer voice interface works.....::
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Looks around for any more threats::
 
VD AXO Burton
CTO: Is that..........you and................me?
 
VD CSO Kalek
::raises his hand and slightly touches the painting:: AXO: Hieroglyphics like...
 
SL CIV Harker
::Glances around stunned a little that this is here as she attempts to get the ops console to work.::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
::Stands up and glances at the paintings on the wall... he is uninterested.:: All: Shouldn't we move on?
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Groans once more and feels a slight discomfort in his right arm.:: CSO: Is the doctor here with us?
 
VD CTO Murphy
AXO: Sir? Where?
 
VD CSO Kalek
AXO: Sir, raise the torch once again, please.
 
VD AXO Burton
CTO: Here, the painting on the wall.
 
SL MO Niventra
@::is hit again by another wave of headaches, but bites her lip:: ALL: So, it's safe to say that this is too good to be true...
 
VD AXO Burton
::Raises the torch::
 
@ACTION: The CIV's console reacts, and the viewscreen displays a wall lit by torchlight, and the AXO and his group can be seen viewing hieroglyphics.
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: I haven't seen anyone from the medical staff.
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Looks closer at the wall:: AXO: Apparently Sir... although I'm damned if I know how this happened.
 
SL ACO Rome
@Computer: Computer! Respond, send a subspace distress signal.......::his voice trails off as the viewscreen comes to live::
 
SL CIV Harker
@ACO: Sir I got something.. ::points..::
 
SL ACO Rome
@All: Kurtis?
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: I believe we should find one. ::Groans.:: It feels like my arm is burning.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ :: looks up :: All: What the?!?!?!
 
VD Chief Abm:
::moves up very closely to Murphy and Burton to look at them then the paintings carefully:: What is the meaning of this?! ::looks at the hieroglyphics::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::frowns:: TO: Come over here, let me take a look.
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Checks rest of ships systems as best she can from current station.::
 
SL ACO Rome
@::knows this makes no sense as cameras on the outer hull send images to the viewscreen in here....it does not work like a window::
 
VD CTO Murphy
Abm: You tell us, mate, they're your caves. ::grins and winks::
 
SL ACO Rome
@All: People......what are we looking at?
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Checks the feed from the viewscreen::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Goes over to the Vulcan science officer.::
 
VD Chief Abm:
All: The prophecies, they are here. Odn, can you record these?
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Reaches out and touches her image experimentally::
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ ACO: I would hazard to guess that it is the rest of our senior officers Sir.
 
SL ACO Rome
@::gets frustrated as the Computer doesn't respond and activates his armrest and presses the buttons that activate the distress beacon manually::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::analyzes the TO's arm:: TO: Hhhmm... you seem to be developing some sort of allergy to the mammal's bite.
 
<Odn> 
::takes out a skin and some graphite pencils and squats, starting to sketch all he sees::
 
SL CIV Harker
@ACO: Trying sir..
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Sighs.:: CSO: First the cat and now bats. What other form of life will I become allergic to?
 
SL MO Niventra
@ACO: I'm sure they can't see us... what kind of higher power is toying with us like this?! ::suddenly becomes uncharacteristically angry::

<Malak> 
@::appears at the rear of the bridge:: ACO: Go to them, Jonathan. Live together with your group...or die alone here.
 
VD CSO Kalek
TO: Let me try something. ::positions his hands over the bite:: It will hurt a bit. ::squeezes the bite, trying to retrieve whatever is causing it::
 
VD AXO Burton
CTO: I am not feeling to good about this.
 
VD Chief Abm:
The prophecies speak of men...those from the stars...and terrible times coming. You are why we are being plagued! Now we know. ::points accusingly at the Newcomers and backs off::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Winces a bit in pain and tries not to squeal too loudly.::
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Spins around, placing herself between Malak and the ACO.::
 
SL ACO Rome
@MO: Relax Doctor....::turns around and sees Malak:: Malak: What the HELL is going on here, lieutenant....::walks over to him angrily and takes his by the collar of his jacket:: Malak: I've had quite enough.
 
VD CSO Kalek
::feels a small bite on his heel, drawing his attention to his left::
 
VD CTO Murphy
AXO: Nor I, Sir. CSO: Try to put a tourniquet between the bite and his body to stop the venom from spreading.
 
<Odn> 
::stops his drawing to look at his father:: No. ::looks at the CTO then back at his father:: They have proven themselves honorable. They are not evil omens.
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Sighs as the ACO steps around her and she moves forward to help brace Malak.::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::realizes there is a small bipedal insect hanging on his heel::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::gently waves the insect off::
 
VD Chief Abm:
::shakes his head:: Odn: Are you a Seer? Can you interpret these? Our ancestors were given warnings long ago and now you see them come true.
 
<Malak> 
@ACO: You have entered the celestial realm. By coming here, you have opened Pandora's Box on this world. Verdwijn has decided to reveal herself to the Federation... ::walks towards the viewscreen::
 
SL ACO Rome
@::lets him go and turns after him::
 
SL ACO Rome
@Malak: Let her!
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Following the Captain's lead releases him as well.::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow as he feels the Vulcan move. He looks back.:: CSO: I would never have believed that healing me would require some form of dancing. I did not know Vulcans danced at all.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ :: continues to try to do something on the console ::
 
SL CIV Harker
@ACO: Verdwjin?
 
SL ACO Rome
CIV: It's what the locals call their planet.
 
SL ACO Rome
::realizes Malak is not reacting to him::
 
SL CIV Harker
@ACO: Another all powerful sentient planet....
 
<Malak> 
@::literally walks through them, like a ghost or hologram would::
 
VD CTO Murphy
::looks around the area some more, checking out the paintings and trying to sort things out::
 
SL CIV Harker
::rubs eyes looking annoyed...::
 
VD CSO Kalek
Self: Odd... ::looks back at the TO:: TO: The CTO is right. Perhaps a tourniquet would do the job better, holding the mammal's saliva from running through your blood stream. ::rips his leeve off and ties hard between the bite and the body:: TO: Dance? I do not understand.
 
SL ACO Rome
@:sits down in his seat, overlooking the viewscreen:: Malak: Let me talk to her.......directly.
 
<Odn> 
::stands protectively in front of the CTO and the rest of the Newcomers as his father holds up a large knife:: No. I will vouch for them! What befalls them will befall me.
 
VD TO Thalataar
CSO: Your foot was moving in a strange manner as if you were doing some kind of folk dance.

ACTION: Whispers begin to sound in the Arcadia people's minds. Sometimes you can make out words and visions of things from your past. You feel the emotions they invoke keenly...
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Goes to stand near the ACO. Ready to lead support if needed.::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::raises a brow as finishes the tourniquet:: TO: Ah, yes, I believe it was.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@:: drops her head and begins to cry ::
 
SL CIV Harker
@::Drops to her knees suddenly feeling a sharp pain in her side, she can hear the sounds of a brawl....::
 
VD CTO Murphy
::Moves to stand next to Odn:: Abm: You know full well what I'm capable of, Chief. Ye'd best be backing off and nay be making any threats to us. We'll help ye sort this mess out, but yer not going to harm any of us. ::holds the spear ready, a determined look on her face, no mercy in her eyes::
 
<Malak> 
@::stops and turns to them:: ACO: I'm sorry, you cannot do that without the Seers' help... ::pauses:: ...there is something you should know. I never was part of your Starfleet. In fact...I never was...anything. Just a kind of guide, you could say... ::walks through the viewscreen::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::begins hearing whispers in his mind... along with his foot swelling and now itching::
 
SL MO Niventra
@::sits down in the CNS's chair calmly::
 
VD TO Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow at Kalek and then begins remembering certain things from his childhood.::
 
@ACTION: The viewscreen ripples like liquid after Malak "passes through"
 
VD Chief Abm:
::looks around and re-sheathes his knife and covers his ears:: They do not like us here. We must leave. See! It is they who cause these problems.... ::turns and walks for the entrance of the cave::
 
SL ACO Rome
@::bites down hard, suppressing memories of the barfight, and looks over at Paige...:: CIV: I need your help again.
 
SL CEO Spanner
@ :: looks up in time to see the effect of Malaks passing. ::
 
VD CSO Kalek
::tries to isolate the whisper and to communicate back::
 
VD CNS HeiRan
