MO_Hunter says:
CNS: I just need to run a scan and ask you a few questions nothing major, I just want to make sure everything coincides with our data base.

Host Steve says:
<Jonze>  ;;retrieves a phaser set to level 2 and deactivates the forcefield::  CTO:  You've been requested on the bridge, Lieutenant.  ::motions the CTO out of the cell::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@*FCO*: Will do.  We should be in visual range here in about 3 minutes.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: I trust all my medical files transferred over from my previous assignment.. 

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@*CSO*: Aye, Sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  What is taking the so long Mr. Sorvik?  ::Concerning the  comm link::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO: Trouble? ::Whisper::

Host Steve says:
<Jonze>  ::follows the LT::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Goes around the last corner:: CIV: Where?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@ CSO: I meant did you see trouble?

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Complies but grumbles about a waste of perfectly good pacing time::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  We are waiting for the away team and the rebels to reach the shuttle craft, Sir.

MO_Hunter says:
::Scans the CNS::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: No....::Points:: There......there's the shuttle.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@::Keeps an eye out for the CSO and the others in order to open the shuttle doors manually.::

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: So how long have you been on this ship?

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  I see.   Thank you.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Arrives at the TL and pushes the button for the TL:: Ensign: How long have you been out of the Academy?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: T'Shara said the thrusters are off-line.

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  They will contact us from there,  but I believe they want to speak in person, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Shakes his head as the mathematical formula he was going over leaves his focus::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::While continuing his scan:: About a month or two.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Worried about Kaly and her injuries::  CSO:  We better get there....

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: No make that three.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: Have any family? brother.. sister.. wife?

::Nods to the OPS::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Tries to remember how they passed through the shield again and got back to the shuttle::

@ Rillian:  Thrusters... okay... ::Looks at the thruster assembly::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Arrives back at the shuttle:: *FCO*: It's us.......Open up, please.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@All: It's clear to the shuttle.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: A little sister...Aislinn, 14, my adopted parents are in London on Earth...as you can see I’m not fully human ::Turns the side of his face with the scar towards her::

Host Steve says:
<Jonze>  CTO:  This is my first assignment, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@*CSO*: Aye sir.  Just a second will have to use tricorder to open door.

MO_Hunter says:
::Smiles sadly at the thought of his Sister::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Enters the TL after the doors open:: Computer: Bridge. ::Watching as the Ensign gets to is left::

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: How did that happen?

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@::Takes tricorder and begins to open the shuttlecraft door.::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@*FCO*: Understood......

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Bends over to look at the wreck that was the assembly, and then back at the shield::  Self: Effective

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: OH this? ::Motions to the scar:: a small disagreement with some thugs in London a few years back.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Ensign: Good.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: Let's get our visitors inside the shuttle as soon as it's open.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@::The Shuttlecraft door begins to open.::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Well the scan is fine, anything else I should know about? allergies, etc?

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: I'm surprised you don't have it fixed doctor.. a reason you still wear it?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Takes out his Tricorder and scans the shuttle's hull integrity and the remains of the thruster assembly::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO: Then I check out what those wolves did to you. ::Looks back to check on the visitors::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Arrives at the bridge moments later and steps out::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: As soon as we're on our way home you can look at my arm...it's no big deal.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: Yes.. ::stands up and begins to unzip her gray jacket::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Mostly to remind me that I’m different than humans I guess, and to remind me that i got it saving someone very special...

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Watches the others go inside......then quietly turns to the CEO:: CEO: How bad is it, Caleb?

Host Steve says:
<Jonze>  ::escorts the CTO::  XO:  Lieutenant Anthony, Sir

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Lt Mark Anthony Reporting as ordered, Sir.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO:  Well better safe then sorry

XO_Hall says:
Ens Jonze:  Thank you Ens.  You may return to duty.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Nods to the CIV understanding her concern, but wanting her guests safe::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Snapping to attention::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: We are not going anywhere, unless you want to make left turns all the way there.

Host Steve says:
<Jonze> ::Nods and heads back to the lifts::

XO_Hall says:
::Looks at the CTO with a stern look::  CTO:  Disobeying order, huh?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS:   You don’t need to disrobe you can just tell me. ::Blushes a bit::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Yes, Sir.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Can we find a way to break through the dampening field then so we can be transported out?

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Pulls her jacket off and lays it on the table.. her right arm above the elbow has a silver band around it.. attached to a very pale white/gray arm .. and a pair of black gloves on both hands::  MO: it's just easier to show you..

EO_Hayward says:
XO: I have a report on the force field around the structure Sir. It seems to be based on Euclidean geometry, with and irrational numbering sequence thrown in as a carrier wave:: Sees that he's interrupted:: Sorry, Sir:: Returns to work::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CEO:  Any chance for transportation?

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  You are aware that we have a chain of command on this ship correct?

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: We have a clear comm link with the Claymore, Sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Yes sir I do.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Prosthesis?

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Has on a blue topped jump suite.. unsnaps the gloves::  MO: So what other race are you? Besides human..

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Peeks inside:: T'Shara: Tell them thrusters are a no go......we need to be transported out or walk.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Romulan.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: How are our visitors?

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Well I hope that you will never, I repeat never, disobey it again.  Is that understood?

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COM: OPS: the thrusters are a no go..... we need to be transported out if possible.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Check on the visitors::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Yes, Sir.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::At the door looking around for movement and holding her phaser in her left hand just in case.::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian & Jazz:  No, and No.  This field is more powerful than a tricorder or a shuttle could possibly hope to counteract to reach orbit.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: and to answer your next question I have no idea who my biological parents are.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: It will not happen again.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: Oh? ::looks him over closer:: Ah yes.. I can see that now.. and yes.. my right arm is hand crafted.. actually I built it myself..

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  FCO:  Understood Lt.  Please standby.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COM: Understood.

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Good.  You are hereby returned to restricted duty.  No Away Teams.  Is that clear?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Anything the ship could do, Caleb?  I'm not talking just us.  We have a comm with the ship.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: They are working on it, Sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Yes, Sir.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Oh. That’s interesting. May I ask how you lost the original?

CNS_Xerxes says:
:Grins:: MO: If I wanted to know I would have looked at your file.. but thanks for saving me the trouble..

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Noted.

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Excuse me Commander,  The shuttle is irreparable.  I will continue to work on transporters.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO:  They are fine, but I can guess that their rescue isn’t quite going as they planned....

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: Understood all too well.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: If I knew that it would be on record..

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: And ten to one its more static filled than a cat trying to talk with a furrball

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Then we walk.......

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  Thank you Mr. Sorvik.  I want them home as quickly as we can get them here.

OPS_Sorvik says:
:: Works on the transporter emitters.  Tries to piggyback the transporter signals along the COMM signals.::

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Reaches over and alters the biobed scanners.. looking at a diagnostic of her arm::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Of course, Sir.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Laughs:: Everyone always asks about my real parents and I tell them that they are in London...and I don’t know who my birth parents were. Oh...but how did you end up with a prosthetic arm?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@All:  How far would we have to go before we are out of the field’s influence?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Pokes her head back inside.:: All: Okay folks...... we have a walk ahead of us We need to get going.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: If I might suggest something. If they make it to the city where the catacomb where the could possible find away to disable what ever they are up against. That was my plan.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: Guess so... ::Glances over his shoulder again at the pyramid looming behind the shield::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Any other ideas would be more than welcome.....::Glances in the same direction as Tyfair::

EO_Hayward says:
::Continues to try and disable the shield::

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Picks up an instrument from the near by tray and adjust it:: MO: Well.. I grew up on a science colony.. and some where at the age of 5 or 6 I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.. and poof.. it got blown off.. or so I’m told..

XO_Hall says:
::Thinks::  CTO:  Hmm... EO:  What did you say about a force field?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Hmm so you don’t remember any of the incident?

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: No.. ::Rechecks the scan and adjust the device a bit more:: 

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Can I ask what you are doing?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: What.... huh?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Any suggestions would be welcome......

EO_Hayward says:
XO: It's geometric in nature, I need to come with a waform that matches exactly. It's got an irrational number as a carrier wave to boot. A toughie ::Rubs his chin::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: Quite a hike unfortunately.

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  It appears that we will not be able to transport them through the interference.  Even if I could get a lock it would be very dangerous.  I would suggest another shuttle, Sir.

XO_Hall says:
EO:  Do you know of any other way to disrupt it?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@ Guests:  What is that thing, I mean the pyramid?  Do you think you could handle another long hike?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: Oh no.. no suggestions... ::Glances again at the Pyramid::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Shakes her head:: CIV: You'll bring up the rear. Keep an eye on our guests.  CEO: You'll have point.  FCO You'll watch our right flank and I'll take our left......

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Standing there waiting for orders.::

EO_Hayward says:
XO: I've thrown everything in the book at it already. I'm working on a new book. ::Genuine smile::

Host Steve says:
@ <OldMan>  Jazz:  That is the Great Hall, a hold over from more innocent times

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Caleb, what is it?

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  That might be our alternative.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Opens a very small shutter on the silver ban and inserts the device.. a small click and the band turns.. and she removes the arm:: MO: The neuro interface is off a bit.. I "feel" a twitch.. you have a retenano aionic probe in here?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: Nothing... ::Moves up and takes point::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Aye sir,  I will ready a shuttle and an evac team.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@::With tricorder in hand and her phaser she continues walking.::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@OM:  It is producing a field  that is keeping here do you know of a way to remove the field?

XO_Hall says:
EO: ::Nods::  Well keep working on it.  OPS:  Lets get the team down there.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Sighs wishing men weren't so stubborn::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO: Aye, aye.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Before we go inform the Claymore we're walking out on foot.

Host Steve says:
@ <OM>  Jazz:  That is likely from the Bellicose Brain....er.....Central Computer.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Yup! hold on.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO:  Aye, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Another mathematical formula that Caleb doesn't recognize pops into his head::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Aye sir.  COM:  Shuttle Vega:  We are sending down another shuttle to retrieve the away team and the rebels  please stand by.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Shakes his head at the so called plan:: To Self: It won't work.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@ OM: did you say Central Computer? ::stops in tracks::

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: We are preparing to leave the Vega and set out on foot.

MO_Hunter says:
::Walks over to a drawer and opens it, pulls out a long slender tool::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Here you go. ::Walks back over and hands it too her::

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  Get me the team on the comm link.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: They are sending down another shuttle to retrieve us sir and the rebels we are to stand by.

Host Steve says:
@ <OM>  Yes....its linked directly to the primary Brain on the Bellicose homeworld.

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  FCO:  That is an unwise move Lt.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Looks at the interface plating:: MO: I may have to come back in about a week for bone tissue evaluation.. sometimes the neuro connections and fiber optics cause calcification around the interface.. thanks

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::patches the comm link to the CO's chair.::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Understood......Inform them of the energy spikes that can clip any shuttle.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:

XO_Hall says:
@CSO:  Hall to Away Team.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: Be warned of the energy spikes from the Pyramid that can clip the shuttle down.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Well I can schedule you for an appointment and I can take a look at it if you want or I can talk to Corzi about it. 

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Hears the Com and heads into the shuttle:: COM: XO: Yes, Sir?

XO_Hall says:
*CSO*:  No doubt you have been informed of the second shuttle?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: If you are going to send a shuttle down there, I suggest we move the ship into a tighter orbit and draw the fire from that pyramid.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@COM: XO: Aye, Sir. we have.....

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Self: Pinnochio... ::Keeps walking::

OPS_Sorvik says:
::Readies the shuttle and evac team.::  *OPS Officer*:  Prepare an evac shuttle and crew for away team retrieval.  Us extreme caution when approaching the pyramid.

Host Steve says:
@ <OM>  You?  If you left their fleet intact, they might have gotten word off.  Even if they did, you might have a....week....a month...before reinforcements could arrive

XO_Hall says:
*CSO*  Is everyone alright?

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Runs a scan over a tsuarian nano connection and a test light glows bright:: MO: you see this connection here? thing you could run this over the one on me? ::Points it out on her stud of an arm inside a very complex looking interface::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Sees, Caleb taking off...::CEO: Engineering Genius.........we're not going anywhere yet.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@COM: XO: We're hanging in there, Sir.......but that shuttle right about now would be nice.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Stops and turns, looking very confused:: All: Huh?  ::Staring at them wide-eyed::

MO_Hunter says:

@::Walks over to Caleb:: CEO: Thanks for taking a look out for us.......::quietly:: Caleb, what's bothering you.  I need your head here and now.......please........You're the next senior member of this AT.

EO_Hayward says:
::Paces the bridge, thinking he need to talk to Tyfair::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CEO:  We just found out that big pyramid is a central computer for this thing. And it is attached to their homeworld,  Think you might be interested in that?

MO_Hunter says:

CNS_Xerxes says:

::Inserts the devices back in the slot and locks the arm again::  MO: I designed this device.. it's based on different .. methods then the normal biological units.. the USS Ariel

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  FCO:  ETA is 10 minutes.

Host Steve says:
@  <OM>  CIV:  There are several levels of catacombs underneath the Pyramid, holdovers from old religious rites, and several antechambers, which is where we were hidden until you arrived

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: Aye sir.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: The ETA to the second shuttle is 10 minutes sir.

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  If we move the ship into a higher orbit to take the hits, how long before we can move away and how long will it take for the firing to target the shuttle?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Thanks......

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Sir.  The shuttle is ready on your order.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@OM: What powers that thing?

XO_Hall says:
::Turns to OPS:: OPS:  Launch it.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: oh very nice....Continue :: listens and looks on as the CNS explains::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Looking over the data from the last away team:: XO: Maybe a few, but I can reroute extra power to the sheilds to hold out.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Finishes writing the formula out, he realizes its Q'orphod, but has no idea what it means as he stares at it::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Decides to leave the CEO to his thoughts.....it really doesn't matter now anyway as long as they are safe and only waiting for the shuttle::

Host Steve says:
@ <OM>  Its alive

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Aye sir.  COM:  Shuttle Artimus:  Proceed with the mission.  You have full clearance.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Flexes the pale arm: MO: It's just different.. I specialize in this sort of thing.. ::Puts her gloves back on::

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE SHUTTLECRAFT STREAKS DOWN FROM THE CLAYMORE TOWARD THE SURFACE

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: So how do you like the ship?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: I thought you were the councilor?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Monitors the shuttlecraft and the pyramid::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: I like it, I was on the Quirinus before this.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Head snaps to the OM::  OM: What do you mean alive?  You said brain earlier ?  Are you telling there is a living "Brain"  running that thing?

Host Steve says:
@  <OM> It is a living computer, yes

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Suggest we fire phaser at minimal settings to draw its attention to us?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Runs her left hand through her hair which by this time has fallen free.......leaning against the shuttle waiting::

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Eyes the MO::  MO: I am.. but I am also a member of the medical department.. and before I joined Starfleet.. I had to learn to make due with what I could build..

EO_Hayward says:
XO: They'll need all the shielding they can get if they take a hit  ::shows the tactical logs to the XO::

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  Shuttlecraft Artimus:  Once again use extreme caution when approaching the pyramid.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@ CSO:  Rillian I think you need to hear this....

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: So why did you transfer?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: I'm sorry.....What should I hear?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Heads over to the CIV and OM::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: I wasn’t happy. 

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  I would suggest we not act hostile towards the pyramid.  If they can in fact hit the Claymore it could her as will.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: ETA of that shuttle?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO:  That thing ::Thumbs to the pyramid::  Is alive well is being run by a living computer.

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  I agree.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: Are you happy here?

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: Checking now, Sir.

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  I concur with that as well.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@OM: Do you have an idea how to turn that thing off?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Smiles broadly:: yes I am

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: ETA To the shuttle Lt.?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@;;Pauses thinking for a moment.......Like that ship we stumbled across.......do you remember that?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: Hey Genius......we need your expert opinion on something.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
EO_Hayward: If Minimal phaser fire is acceptable would that draw its attention to us?

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: good.. and how are you dealing with being this far from home? ::makes sure the gloves are on tight::

Host Steve says:
@  <OM>  Civ:  no; we've never actually seen one of them before

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Looks up::  Rillian:  Shoot.

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  shuttle Vega.:  Shuttlecraft Artimus is inbound and ETA is 3 minutes to your location.

EO_Hayward says:
XO: It's certainly worth a shot. We're better equipped than a shuttle to draw fire from them.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: Aye sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Readies phasers and sets them to minimal output and targets the Pyramid::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Phasers ready.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: The Shuttle Artimus is inbound and ETA is about 3 minutes to our location.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: The old man says that thing is living......::Nods her head toward the Pyramid::......would it be similar to that ship we encountered before?  You remember the one where you found Thumbelina?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Its hard, But I’m making due. I have my friends onboard that keep me from thinking to much on it. I miss my sister very much though ::Chokes::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Thank you, Lt.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@ OM: at least  you have told us  more then we had before

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Swallows:: sorry.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Looks up at his choke:: MO: are you alright?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Yes I’m fine.

XO_Hall says:
EO:  Right.  Well, lets move this ship into a higher orbit.  CTO:  When the shuttle is ready to enter, drop the shields, and raises them we have no time to allow them to be targeted.  OPS:  Stay in constant control with the shuttle.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: All Q'orphod technology can be defined as living..

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Stands and picks up her jacket:: MO: maybe you should come to my office.. for an appointment...

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CEO:  We are talking a living brain computer...

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Rillian: It all operates on thought algorithms... I think.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: But that thing's supposedly a Bellicose.....::Looks over at Jazz.:: Brain....I think he called it.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Jazz:  As I said... I know.

EO_Hayward says:
XO: You want me to take the helm?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::laughs:: I’m not abnormal for missing my little sister am I?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods to the XO:: COM: Shuttlecraft: When your ready. ::Stands by to fire phasers and raise's shields::

Host Steve says:
@  <OM>  ::chuckles::  CEO:  Only after the great transition.....

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO:  So could this be the same type of thing........where it can be manipulated by thought?

EO_Hayward says:
::Moves to the helm, raises the orbital altitude::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CEO: Well trying to be helpful ::rolls eyes::

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Grins:: MO: not at all.. but it is my job to listen to those who want to talk.. 

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Shields up and phasers ready.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ OM: But the transition occurred already... didn't it...

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Again, Lt.  Those shields must come down just in time so that the shuttle can get in and then raise them.  I figure the shuttle will be flying pretty fast so we may have to repair the shuttle bay after this one.  EO:  No, I want you on the engines.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE SHUTTLECRAFT SWOOPS IN LOW THROUGH THE CITY AND FLIES RIGHT OVER THE AWAY TEAM

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Smiles, looks at the CNS:: Maybe, I have other things I need to worry about, like our intrepid CMO.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Starts looking around for the shuttle as she listens::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: understood.

OPS_Sorvik says:
COM:  Shuttle Vega:  You should have visual now.

XO_Hall says:
HELM:  Move us into a high orbit.  CTO:  Raise shields.  When the shuttle begins its ascent, then we will draw the fire.

EO_Hayward says:
::Sets the altitude:: XO: We're in extended high orbit. ::moves back to the engineering station::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Sighs barely......extremely glad to see the shuttle::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@All: Okay.....let's pile into the other shuttle.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
*Damage Control Teams*: Standby in shuttle bay one.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Grins wide:: MO: Naa.. he's my problem.. but that’s for another hour.. I'm more concerned about you for the time being..

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@CSO:  Is that our ride home?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CIV: Thankfully it is........

EO_Hayward says:
::Monitors the power flows of the ship::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Aye sir. Shields are up. Ready to fire when you say so.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Looks at the Old Man puzzled by his statement::

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@COMM: OPS: Aye sir

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@CSO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtJg_TShara says:
@::Grabs her gear and awaits everyone to head onto the Shuttle Artemis.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Reroutes auxiliary power to standby for shields::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  I believe it is inadvisable to fire on the pyramid, Sir.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Lost to the CEO, and concentrates on the Shuttle::

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: Unless.. ::zips up her jacket half way.. totally concealing her arm again::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@::Heads over to the other shuttle with the rest of the Away Team::

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::chuckles:: I am perfectly fine, I de-stress in the Holodeck after my shift. Unless what?

EO_Hayward says:
::Bemused::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Makes sure everyone is safely in the 2nd shuttle before she climbs in::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Looks over to OPS after his comment::

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  Why?

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: unless you would like to tell me all about your concerns over lunch.. it's 15:00 and I'm ready for something to eat.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::follows the CSO in the shuttle::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@All: Everyone in?

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Smiles:: If you wouldn’t mind. things are rather slow around here.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ ::Nods at Rillian::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Get us out of here......just watch out for those spikes........

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: aAd my shift is almost done anyway.

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  From what we it has responded to actions against it.  It is logical that it can detect or respond situations.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@Guests:  This should get us home...

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: I always enjoy a good talk over a hot meal

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE RESCUED Q;ORPHOD CLIMB ABOARD AND STRAP IN

EO_Hayward says:
XO: We only may get one shot Sir

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Straps in and waits for us to get moving::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
EO_Hayward: One shot maybe all it takes.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: Tell me do you like Jazz? tTe music not the Bajoran ::grins::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Take us up.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ All:  Don't these guys need liquid to survive?  ::Really puzzled::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  It may in fact sir be able to destroy the Claymore from here sir.

XO_Hall says:
OPS: If the pyramid does not open fire on the shuttle we, will not fire, however if it does, we must draw its fire.  Inform me when the shuttle begins its ascent.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: good.. I look forward to hearing stories about your last ship's shrink.. Raythan right?

EO_Hayward says:
CTO: Lets hope so. They didn't draw fire on the way down this time.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@::Slides into the seat next to the FCO::

OPS_Sorvik says:
XO:  As you wish, Sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods to the EO::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Wishes she could communicate telepathically with Caleb for a moment::

MO_Hunter says:
::Hangs his lab coat in the CMO’s office:: CNS: Yes, that’s right, thought I wasn’t on board long enough to have too see him.

Host Steve says:
ACTION:  THE SHUTTLE STREAKS INTO THE SKIES, SHOOTING UP TOWARD THE HEAVENS

XO_Hall says:
OPS:  Can we set sensor shadows that way the pyramid cannot lock onto the Claymore itself?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Damage control teams standing by in shuttle bay one.

EO_Hayward says:
::Moves to the science station to monitor::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
@::Can't wait to be back on the ship::

MO_Hunter says:
*XO* Sir, should I be standing by in sickbay?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: I guess not, Caleb.....these are the same ones who messaged us.....I can sense that.

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Thank you.  If that pyramid does not fire then we should not have to worry about the shuttle or shuttle bay.  *MO*  Thank you.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Noting yet.

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: hmm.. well maybe we will have to work something out so you have many vivid tales for your next Shrink who ask you about me ::grins wide and turns toward the door::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@COM: XO: Sir. I suggest we have security waiting to greet our visitors.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ All: Q'orphod are Water Based.....

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Can we set up sensor shadows that way the pyramid my have trouble locking onto us if it begins firing?

XO_Hall says:
*MO*  Yes, you should.

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Grins:: Actually can I put that meal on hold, I should be here in case the Shuttle runs into trouble.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@Caleb: I can sense their intentions......They are honorable........and they are the same who messaged us......

MO_Hunter says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: I can do that, but not knowing there technology it might be useless.

MO_Hunter says:
::Walks back over getting the Emergency kits ready::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
@ Old Man & Guy:  Who are you?

CNS_Xerxes says:
MO: well in that case maybe i should stay to help..

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Lets give it a shot.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Begins to set up sensor ghost around the pymrid::

Host Steve says:
@ <om>  CEO:  We are the original Q'orphod...before the great transition....before the war

MO_Hunter says:

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@CEO: That's enough......

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: Aye.

CNS_Xerxes says:
::Nods:: MO: well I could.. but i only have one left to lend

MO_Hunter says:
CNS: ::Burst into hard laughter:: I have no idea why that just struck me funny ::laughs some more::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Watches to see if Caleb says anything else.::

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Anything from the pyramid yet?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
@FCO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Sorvik says:
