CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks at the area, trying to discover what it is they are missing.  The Gorn had figured it out, after all.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Captains? Might I ask. Questions.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::looks thoughtful as she looks around considering.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at the tricorder, their only piece of technology::  Havaris: Perhaps there is a recall...a simple frequency.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Could we active an emergency beacon with that? perhaps draw the ship closer?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Junk pile. Radioactive yes. Quirinus in orbit yes. Radioactive junk pile make signal detectable by Quirinus possibly
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he begins to set the tricorder to go through all frequencies starting with subspace and down even to frequency modulation ::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Takes a seat near a large boulder.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Elias: Could you help strengthen the signal so we can contact our ship?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::at the same time, he sets it to start through all variations of command codes used:: Havaris: even an ensigns command codes should activate an emergency beam out.
Elias says:
XO: Would I if I could. But I do not know how.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: No one aboard to see us.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Let's hope the ship can detect it.

ACTION: The tricorder begins beeping as it locks on to a useable signal 

XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
Elias: I see. ::Tries to think.:: 
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at the tricorder and enters his command codes for computer contact::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Are you the only being here?
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Sees the CO's interest and goes over to him::
Elias says:
CO: Yes, I am
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: pulling out her flute, she quietly plays it while opening herself up to the surroundings.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Right. Then question. Aboard Q no one...yes. All here...yes. Then signal is to who? Idea... Bring ship close. Activate auto beam up...maybe Works? We go home. yes
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: The computer has taken my codes.  Transporters seem to be only 25 per cent reliable, but it is our best hope.  We could perhaps order a shuttle on auto command to be launched.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Hmm, how reliable is getting shuttle here? If more than the transport I can fly it back with a group of engineers, bring the ship here.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: Only if you want to leave 75 percent of you in particles.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Too bad Elias can't just bring the ship in closer...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: We have the tricorder and Starr's pile of junk for it to identify coordinates.  There is no reason that a shuttle on auto would not work.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Then yes let's try the shuttle while the situation is fairly stable.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he enters the commands into the computer along with the beacon points and sends::  Havaris: The ship is not far.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Aye Sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Hmmm...Transporters reliable...no. Shuttle on autopilot...logical. Works...possible. Failure not option.

ACTION: The tricorder beeps as it accepts the captain's command. There is a shuttle en route

XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CSO: Yes we should be able to fly a team back to the ship and get it ready to recover the rest of the crew.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: But then we must stop this from occurring.  Elias: Who built this place?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: continuing to play, she looks over at the silent Elias.::
Elias says:
CO: Why my parents did. They consider my being here to be an experience not to be missed. I've been here for over three thousands of your years. I will be here until I am five. Thousand.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: We have been given orders to stop this from going into our own space.  Can you change the course of this ::at a loss as to what to call it:: recreation area.  It affects our space negatively.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Elias: How stop. Others. No more come. Get trapped.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Elias: Very bad.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: stills, placing her flute in her lap, thinking defiantly older than me.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at the signal:: Havaris: The shuttle should be here soon.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Started to ask the same question as the CO but stopped to listen::
Elias says:
CO: I will tell my parents. They will know how to fix this problem.

ACTION: Far above, the crew can see the shuttle descending

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: You have contact with your parents?
Elias says:
CO: It's more like they have contact with me. Even now, they are listening.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: If they cannot, we have little choice in what we might have to do.  I am concerned for your safety as well.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Elias: Why not say. Before. Avoid all this....possible. Go home sooner. yes.
Elias says:
CO: They have informed me to tell you....that they are sorry. And this accident that brought you here will not happen again
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elais: And it temporal effect on the space surrounding it?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: looks at Sulek, catching his eye and nodding, the man or child, spoke the truth::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Leaves the Captain, CSO and CNS to talk to Elias, clears an area of people for the shuttle and picks an engineering team to go with on return trip to prep the ship etc::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
Elias: They promise? Word and Honor. We hold them to.

ACTION: The shuttle touches down, and the hatch opens

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Havaris: Get the transporters back in balance it should not take long, then beam all back as quickly as you can...and take Starr with you so he can get his translator fixed.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
CO: Yes Sir. ::motions to the chosen team and the CSO to come with her on the shuttle and enters.::
Elias says:
CO: Please prevent that one ::motions at Starr:: from speaking to me. I cannot understand him.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: May I ask what species are you?
Elias says:
CO: You could not pronounce it. I know of no equivalent in your language
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::sees XO motioning for him to board the shuttle. CO: Since understand me...cannot. Tell him. From me. Peace. With you. Long and Happy life. Is my wish for you.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr: I will
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Thanks Captain. ::slight bow to Elias, turns and waddles to the shuttle::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Preps shuttle for return trip with one of the engineers as co-pilot.::
Elias says:
CO: That one is....enfeebled?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: No although sometimes....He wishes you peace and long life.
Elias says:
CO: I will live for many thousands of your years
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Are there many of your kind and is this your natural form?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::Another bow towards Elias and boards the shuttle::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Many species live long lives... :: looks at Azhure. ::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Takes off when all are on board are secured and pre-flight check is complete.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: smiles at Sulek::
Elias says:
CO: We do not normally possess bodies such as the one I am in. We live naturally in space. We are throughout the galaxy.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Despite the accident that brought us here, then I am pleased that we have met.  Part of our mission is new life forms.
Elias says:
CO: I'm also pleased.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: She did not know why she had not figured out before who this species was, except perhaps because his parents had wanted it that way... perhaps why any unique abilities had been taken away.  She herself had never met them before.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
XO: To the Q. fix transporters yes. Bring crew home yes.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Given Elias was really no more than a young child of his species, it was not surprising his parents were keeping a close eye on him.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Then by your species standards you are yet a young being.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
FCO: Ready when you are.
Elias says:
CO: Yes. I am a child.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: So then we serve as your school...it is how you learn about other beings?
FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
XO: Ready here
Elias says:
CO: It is one way. We view our entire lives as a time for learning.
OPS_Ens_Dagan says:
::at an aux station::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
FCO: Let's get going then. ::She tells the pilot, moving out of his way and securing herself.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: There are other powerful beings who are shall we say less enlightened in dealing with species of lesser technology.   Have you ever heard of the Q for example.
FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
::attempts to lift the shuttle off the ground:: 
Elias says:
CO: I have. Hubris personified for the most part.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Looks upward toward the skies with a sigh.  Her experience with the Q was not exactly something she would want to write home about.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Indeed.  ::he looks again a Azhure::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Catching Sulek looking at her again, she just shrugs her shoulders.  She had left herself open for many reasons and with their bond, he could pick up something from her.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
~~Azhure~~: So do we speak of your knowledge?
FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
ALL: Looking good
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
~~~~CO:  There is no reason not to.  He is too young to probably know of my species, let alone what has happened to us.~~~~
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
FCO: Excellent. ALL: Soon as we dock Ops will assist engineering in fixing the transporters and prepping the ship for our return. CSO: You'll work on sensors, we'll fix your translator soon as we can. FCO will take his station.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::::Shuttle takes off and makes it way to the ship.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Our counselor it seems has known of your kind as well.
OPS_Ens_Dagan says:
XO: Understood!
Elias says:
CO/CNS: Really? I'm not sure why, but this pleases me.
FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
XO: Aye sir taking us to the outer atmosphere now. 
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
FCO: Good. 
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
XO: Sensors fixed..Yes. translator fixed.. Yes. Talk "normal" again. yes.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Doesn't mind time off but would prefer it not be due to a powerful species and an accident.::
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Nods at CSO::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
Elias: There are many civilizations that are very old and species that live long lives.  It is hard not to cross paths unless you are a xenophobic.

ACTION: A beam comes lose from the ceiling and falls on Starr, rendering him unconscious.

FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
ALL: Atmo clear setting course for the Q and starting docking procedure.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Unbuckles to grab first aid kit as an engineer unbuckles to figure out what the hell just happened.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::crashes to the floor under beam::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: Perhaps you would like to share your culture with us  ::he hands the tricorder to him:: It is connected to our own public data bases.  You may want to consult your parents as to what is appropriate, though.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Administers first aid as the FCO docks.::
Elias says:
CO: Something tells me that if we wanted you to know we were out there, you would already know.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Elias: As to share with us and what you should know at this point.  I also understand that.  We have a similar belief called the Prime Directive.  When we are ready then.
XO_Cmdr_Havaris says:
::Engineer moves beam. Checks shuttle integrity with a tricorder that was on board.::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: A rather secretive society, she wonders if his parents will share.  They often did not with cultures that were too primitive, which most, such as the Vulcans and humans were.::
FCO_Lt_Bodine says:
::attempts to use the automated systems to bring them in::
