CAPTAIN'S LOG - STARDATE 10709.25 - SUPPLEMENTAL: We've been… taken…. by some sort of beam from the alien ship. Maybe it was a bad idea to fire on it, but if it could drain the system's sun it would destabilize the whole solar system and kill millions of colonists. Hopefully we've done the right thing.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The crew of the Halas is still within their own personal worlds.  Some may be pleasant, some may be hell.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::weightless, floating in an unconscious black void::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hunting::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::My parents? Yes, they are still on the base. They are...::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lost in a darkness she cannot seem to find her way out of, calling for Eos and Atlas.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Oh... Oh no...::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Still dreaming...making final backstage preparations to go onstage for the opening curtain::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels empty inside, his whole purpose for living gone::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::lusting for a kill::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Watches with a strange sense of detachment, as the colony is slowly enveloped in a burning flame, gradually erased from the face of the planet::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::picks up his beer stien and takes a nice long drink of his Alt Beir::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::wanders through the yellow hum, the soft touch of his little girls' hair fading from memory:: Self: Gone... all gone...
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Gradually, each crewmember gets the prickly sensation that they are being watched, but there is no other change to their "dreams".
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Suddenly she finds herself at a girls school, tightly holding Eos hands, looking with disbelief at her older brother, standing there before them, talking to the headmistress of the boarding school.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stumbles back through it all, feeling on the verge of falling down, but not quite. all of the sensations are numb:: Self: I killed them.... ::searches through the haze::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::the nothing attenuates and something breaks through - it is paranoia::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Feeling...feeling...for the first time in this escapade...Whirls about suddenly to face the Vorta again, looking up only with suspicion, and none of the horror that somehow seems appropriate::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::pauses and sniffs the air.  Smells nothing but can't shake the feeling that he's become the prey::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: He then turns to look at them, a stern expression on his face.  Leaning down, he kisses them each on the forehead before turning abruptly to leave the two of them there... without him... Slowly she shakes her head in disbelief.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stops stumbling and freezes, choosing a spot in the haze at random, his despair cooling to a hard point of anger:: Self: No... I didn't kill them. They did! Outloud: You did!
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Suddenly gets a bout of stage fright...which is odd, as he is only merely watching...but, maybe that's him, after all?::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Falls back to her prostrate position, ears unhearing of the Vorta's commands::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::still floating,  but uneasy, feels strange::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Feels herself pulled roughly to her feet, a Jem'hadar at each elbow::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::enjoys the polka music as he sips the music, he begins to sing and begins to feel people are watching him, he shrugs it off figure it must be his tone....about as good as using a whistle in a library::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::proceeds more slowly, bloodlust tempered by caution::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::searches the haze more actively now:: Outloud: You... who are you? Show yourselves. Murderers!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Suddenly she is standing before the headmistress who is talking via a comm link to Atlas.  Once again disbelief comes to her face, but inside, she is not surprised, not really.  He had abandoned them before, what did he care that he was taking the last thing she could claim as hers away.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Looks up at the tall, thin Vorta, without horror, grief, or accusation. Only with...question::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Hm, this is a good part.  Watches as the young man adjusts his sword at his side, then he sees...it::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Drinks some more alt bier and begins to sing louder while stomping is foot to beat of the polka band::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: She did not even fight when some stranger led her away from Eos, her twins tears and cries fading as they left the building.  She swore to herself, she would never again speak to Atlas.  As he had disowned them, she now disowned the man who had been her idol.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks for any patterns in the mist, any dark spots, using all his training and instinct to find something - to find them:: ~~~~:: at the same time, feels his synapses flare white hot as he searches for those searching for him, watching him, mocking him::~~~~ Whisper: I'll find you...
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::feels as though someone - maybe a malevolent being, is watching him in the void::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As she makes the vow, she finds herself once again in darkness, the years passing by, alone.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::growls deep in chest::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: No, she is not alone... not like before.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Looks around the...bridge, a moment, noting all eyes of the crew upon her...their collective steadfast and dutiful gaze::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Has sort of an out-of-body feeling...the dream continues below him, but he finds himself in the audience now, present rather than merely dreaming as though watching a play::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Quickly turns, looking over his shoulder...sees no one in the audience, but is eerily certain that someone is there somewhere in the haze::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Quickly, the crew's dreams dissolve into tiny pixels, get rearranged, and then solidify.  Each member of the senior staff finds themselves at their familiar posts on the Halas.  However, something is not right.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turning quickly now in the yellow haze, unable to find a point with which to focus, but finding them increasing in number and intensity if not locatability::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::shaken, looks around the bridge::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Extremely annoyed, she stops where she is at... if one could call that stopping, and sits down.  Soon other memories come forward and she is reminded, she is not a child.  Stubborn still, perhaps, but not a child.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::realizes where he is in mid-snarl::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels all the different presences shrink down and finds himself where he was on the Halas, still gripping the rail, the warmth returning to his skin but the emptiness still inside:;
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Slowly her eyes blink and she is staring at her console.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks down, surprised to find himself standing on two legs::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Reorienting herself, she turns to look around, then back down at her console.  Slowly, as if it would vanish under her touch, she reached for the controls to access sensor data.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Standing at the desk in Sickbay...blinks, and blinks again::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::sees movement out of the corner of his eye.  Whirls around to see the CSO at her console::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::moves toward the captain:: CO: Captain? Are you all right?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Watches the haunting Vorta face...as it slowly fades in and out until it is...Welland, that she it looking up at instead. Jumps backward an instant, aware from him, still blinking to clear her vision::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Suddenly::  MO:  Doctor.  Are you all right?  ::Pulls his lab coat closed around himself::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nothing comes up.  She frowns.::  CO: I am not getting any reading.  Sensors appear to be down.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: Commander?  :: Looks over her shoulder to see him talking with the captain.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::draws in a deep breath, rocking him back on his heels, unsure of how long it had been since he'd breathed:: ::eyes widen as he hears Woody's voice and whispers back:: CEO: They're here.... ::lets go of the rail, revealing the twisted metal under his grip, and then dashes for the turbolift::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::reorienting, tries to activate tactical sensors::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::goes to sip another ship of his Alt bier only to discover it Coffee and he no longer at the October feast in Fürth but instead at his station...talk about a let down::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
All: Check your consoles. Everything looks okay, but every system on board is non responsive. CO: Jyg!
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the Captain dash off::  CO:  Hey!
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the crew orients themselves, they quickly find that while everything seems to be working, no consoles will respond to input, the viewscreen seems dead, and the usual background sounds are gone.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watches the captain literally run toward the lift followed by cries for him.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Merely nods, retaining her slight distance from the CMO, and wrapping her arms about herself slightly::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Stands straight, noting Raeyld's disposition::  MO:  What on earth happened?  We couldn't have been unconscious...I...woke, such as it was, standing up.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Steps back toward the CMO as the CO dashes past her::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::ready to rip the control box out of the wall of the lift car:: TL: Go where I told you. Down, go down!
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
All: Check your stations... see if you can get anything to work
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::attempts to adjust power flow in EPS conduits only to find the panel not responding::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Uncertainly looks back at Hayward::  CEO: I do not see anything obviously wrong, but no, it is not working.
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Sets down his coffee and attempts to open panel::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::takes out a tricorder and tries it:: CSO: I have no idea what is causing this. Speculation is welcome.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Nothing here either.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Slowly::  CEO: Well... maybe some form of dampener?  Obviously we were also sucked in.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks temptingly at the emergency hatch in the ceiling of the lift car but knows he'd never be able to squeeze through that::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO/CTO: My tricorder isn't working either. There has to be something keeping us alive and breathing clean air. And not freezing in space.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Shouldn't someone... the CO... he's kind of gone.... Is he safe?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Tries to contact science.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Mumbles softly, moving toward a console:: CMO: I..I don't know...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Gets a response.::  CEO: Communication seems to be working.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Taps at the console...then taps a few more times:: CMO: It's not working... I can't bring up ship status...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Tries to send an external one, but receives absolute silence.:: CEO: Nothing on external.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels the ice around his heart melt as he dashes down the corridor to where he can feel them above him, trying to find a way down after the turbolift refuses to cooperate::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  All right...hold on.  We'll figure out something.
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Pries the cover off and finds.....NOTHING.....::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::in a moment of inspiration, rushes into the stellar cartography lab and runs to the railing, looking down before swinging a leg over and dangling over the side::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: Ummm... should I try to contact the captain?
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Looks at the empty space and release that would explain why the panel those not work....::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Or get medical after him?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: Yes, keep him informed. he may not respond, send medical to him if you can.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Checks the panel on the desk, but it, too, is unresponsive::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods and turns back around.:: *CMO*: Doctor, the captain ran off the bridge... suddenly, without stopping.  We may need your assistance.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::releases his trip on the railing and falls the five meters to the floor below, crushing the sensitive projection apparatus under his shoes as he lands, feeling a pain shoot up his leg and through his knee:: Self: Shazbot! ::limps through the lower stellar cartography bay access door onto the right deck::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Lieutenant Senn.  Please respond.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: I want you to make sure we are indeed on the Halas. We're in deep here.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  I think we-- *CSO*:  Do you know where he is?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Unfolds her arms, more fully involved in trying to operate the display:: CMO: ..They all appear activated and operable, but--
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::puts the panel back and goes to the next one checking it....he notes on the force panel that all seems normal expect for the missing circuits it like some paint the displays::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CMO*: Unfortunately, no.  He mumbled something about 'they are here', but sensors are down as most everything else on the ship appears to be.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: Ummm... how?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
*CSO*:  All right.  We'll try to find him;  let me know if you hear from him.  Welland out.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
Computer:  Location of Captain Ahkileez.  ::Waits...to no avail.  No response.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::limp-runs down the corridor, ignoring the comms, his total concentration focused on homing in::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: ..Them?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: I was hoping you would come up with something. The empirical evidence says that this is the Halas, at least as far as we can tell. Without access to our consoles, we are dead in space.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Are we in space?
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::finds the same with the second panel as the first, debates opening a third or fourth but release it might just be useless::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at him with uncertainty:: CEO: The only thing that comes to mind is trying to go off ship.  Put on an EVA suit and head for an airlock?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Blinks:: CMO: Doctor, Ahkileez is a telepath... If he'd been separated from his family before...if they're here now...He'd sense that. Very strongly.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::moves through officer's country, certain of where he's going now, stopping at the large room at the end of the corridor::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: I can't answer that with any degree of certainty
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  I don't know.  It's possible whatever happened to us may've triggered something within him.  He could be unstable.  ::Taps his combadge::  *CO*:  Captain, this is Doctor Welland.  Are you receiving?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: A crewman in the rec lounge informs the bridge that the observation view ports seem to be slate grey instead of transparent aluminum.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CSO: Go ahead and try. Make SURE the suit is operational first
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: Yea... that would be nice.  :: With a sigh, heads for the lift.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Permission to accompany her... for security an all.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::opens the door to his quarters and almost collapses in fear and relief in the doorway::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: Granted
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the CSO into the lift::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO/CSO: I want up to the minute reports
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::finds himself unable to speak as he sees his family in their quarters, safe and sound, if looking about scared and confused::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: stops suddenly.::  CTO: Ummm... we do not want to go this route.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  No response from him.  But...his family was on one of the shuttlecraft that left, weren't they?  Why would they be here?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CSO:  Right.  ::tries to remember the schematics::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns around and heads for the emergency hatch::  CTO: This could be a rather tiring venture.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: A crewman located in the hangar deck reports that all shuttles and runabouts are accounted for visually.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Sorran> ::runs over to his father and wraps two small arms around the tree trunk leg, followed quickly by his siblings::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Taken aback a moment::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::quietly::  CSO:  I never thought I'd be wishing we had a telepath in tow.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::pulls his wife close as she walks over and then taps his badge:: *Bridge*: Ahkileez to Bridge... Woody, they're here. They're safe.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With a grunt, lifts the hatch and looks down it.::  CTO: Yea... but at least communication does work.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: ...  Call it a hunch.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::overhears the COMM::  CSO:  Wait.  CEO: Here would be where?
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::picks up a padd and tries to work::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As she starts to head down, she catches the captains comm:: CTO: Is that possible?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Raises his eyebrow slightly, wondering...::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shakes his head as he has no clue::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Kendi> ::cries as she hugs her father:: CO: Daddy, what happened?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Good to hear that captain, were still dealing with the situation up here
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: His family was aboard
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Decides to try his com badge::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CSO:  Right.  Let's go.  ::climbs down the hatchway::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: Holds on tightly to her husband.::  CO: I do not understand.  One minute we were on a shuttle and then... :: Steps away motioning the room with her hand.::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
*CEO*:Sir I just pull three panel down here in engineer.  There no circuits underneath them.  It like the panels are painted on
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to recall what deck the airlock in on::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head, barely able to talk:: Kela/Kids: I don't know what happened, but you're here and you're safe. That's what matters.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CEO*: Understood ::stands:: All: I do not believe we are on the Halas
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO: No... his family was not... they were on one of the shuttles.  :: With that said, pops down the shaft, quickly making her way downward to storage.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  What now?  Until we hear from the bridge, there's nothing we can do.  I assume if there were any wounded, they'd have reported by now, or we'd have been directed to their location.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> CO: We are together, that is what matters.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::is happy to realize that the CSO seems to know her way around::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
<MCPO on last>
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: We...should probably get a hard confirmation that the entire medical staff is aboard, and their current locations aboard ship.
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::wonders why the com works....begins to head for the computer core::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: One deck after another she makes her way down, counting each major intersection as she goes.  When she comes to the one she wants, she swings to the side and slips down the Jefferies tube to an access way.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::releases the grip on his wife and crouches down to hug and kiss each of his children, secretly grateful Zavvia wasn't here as well::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::following along with a growing sense of urgency::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes his little girls' hands and kisses his wife:: All: Come on, lets get you all checked out. I want to make sure you're okay.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: Watches, waiting for the tension to ease from his body, knowing full well they were going to have an argument on this.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Hayward here, the captain has been located and is doing okay
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::recalls the sensation of being hunted and shudders::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Opening the door, she slips out into the hall, few are about as this is not a well used area.::  CTO: I really do not like EVA suits.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
MO:  All right.  I guess the only way to do that is that is via combadge, or tracking them down in person.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CSO:  It will be all right.  We'll be tethered together and to the ship.  Get back in a flash.  ::smiles in what he hopes is a reassuring manner::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::arrives at the main core and enters wonder what he find::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::bends down so he can tap his badge without letting go of Jerni's hand:: *Sickbay: Ahkileez to Sickbay... my family is aboard. I'm not sure how. But I'm bringing them to you for a checkup. I want to make sure they're okay. I want everyone else slated for evacuation accounted for as well. Take whomever you need.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Finding the door she wants, she enters and heads for the back for little used items.  After a brief search, she finds what she wants and takes one down, handing it back to Ki:: CTO: yea...
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
CMO: Combadge seems most efficient.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the object he was given::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: Shakes her head::  CO: I know I should feel insulted here, but given the situation.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
*CO*:  Understood, Captain.  As soon as all members of the medical staff are accounted for, we'll be right on it.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Grabs the next one for herself::  CTO: We might as well try them on here as drag them down to an exit hatch and find they do not work.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at her, the fear plainly evident on his face for her and her alone:: Kela: Thank you for not fighting me on this...
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Notices the core sure looks real. But he not convinced.  He pops a panel expecting to fine Memory chips and circuits. Only to fine...::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
*CEO*:  Thanks for the notice, Commander.  He sounds all right to me.  If you need anything, let me know.  Welland out.  ::Nods to Raeyld::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: Lays a gentle hand on his arm and then scoops up her youngest into her arms.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leads his family down the staircases attached to the residential levels for ease of mass transit in the high-traffic area and heads down to the medical deck::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders why they don't keep EVA suits by the airlock::  CSO:  Okay.  ::steps into the suit::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::he looks again and he see nothing::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
*CEO*I am in the main core, only there is no main core....
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quickly dons the suit::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*MCPO*: Acknowledged
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Activates the unit and waits.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CSO:  Here goes nothing.  ::dons the helmet and attempts to breath::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Captain, we have reason to believe we are not on the Halas
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::decides to try something goofy:: All: Computer Arch
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: slowly shakes her head.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: There is the old fashion way... ye know... hook a hose to one end and pump on the other?  ::Sighs in frustration.::  Or we could just open the hatch and jump.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::experiences a moment of panic as he recalls a previous assignment where some idiot transported all the oxygen off the deck he was traveling through via Jeffries Tube::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::finally reaches Sickbay with his family:: CMO/MO: Doctors? I'd like you to look my family over. Now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Watches Ki::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Taps his combadge to close the channel after having spoken with Amica::  MO:  Jeff is working on rounding up --
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Blinks a few times::  CO:  Right away, sir.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steadies himself::  CSO:  It feels comfortable enough.  Let's just jump.  ::grins::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
< Kela> :: Quietly shakes her head with an understanding smile and places Juleah on the biobed, followed by Sorran.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::waits for the doctors to get their thing together and returns the com:: *CO*: Ahkileez here. What's wrong, Woody? What makes you think that?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks to Raeyld with a telling look and tilts his head toward the ward::  CO:  Follow me.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: You can breath?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::nods::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: There is no *real* equipment aboard. The entire ship appears to be a mock up
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::doesn't mention that there's no way to tell if it will pressurize when necessary::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni> ::takes the opportunity to move over by the surgical cart and look at the equipment::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
Hmmm... :: Puts her helmet on and tries.::  CTO: Ok... as odd as that may be, lets go find out what we can.
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::finds not response...shrugs off...and figure it was a long shot::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Hops-to, walking up to the older kids:: Kids: Why don't you come with me right over here? You can each choose your own biobed, and give it a title, like a ship.  ::Helps usher the kids into the main ward::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks around Sickbay:: *CEO*: It looks real enough.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::stomps along after the CSO::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  There may be a problem, though.  Every computer we've tried to use so far hasn't been functioning, as though it's frozen.  There's no reason to believe any of our diagnostic equipment will be working.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: There is no computer core on board
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: At least we do not have to climb through the Jeffries tube with these things on.  :: Down one hall and to the left down another, she comes to one of the airlocks that she could not remember ever having needed to be used.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Takes his ever-present PADD out of his lab jacket pocket, tapping at it a few times, but it is completely unresponsive despite the appearance that it is functional::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::gives the CSO a sideways look, wondering what possessed her to mention Jeffries tubes::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: Watches her elder offspring head off with Raeyld, then turns to listen to the CMO::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Offers assistance as needed for the kids to get each onto their own biobed, and steps to side, reaching into the drawer for a handful of writing instruments and a stack of actual-factual paper::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: It may just have been stolen. We're not sure what they're doing, but I don't think transporting it out is beyond them. See if you can access the auxiliary cores. If they're gone too, maybe that will make it certain. I need answers, Woody. Find me them. Ahkileez out.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Tries his tricorder, as well, but finds it similarly affected::  CO/Kela:  The tricorders aren't working.  We haven't tried the biobeds yet, but they're likely in a similar state.  Come with me, please.  ::Heads out into the ward near where Raeyld is working::  MO:  Any luck?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::arrives at the airlock::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the CTO and CSO leave the relative safety of the ship, they gain a perch on the outer hull ending up on the top, far edge of the saucer.  Their suits do not pressurize, but they don't have to.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rejoins his wife:: CMO: I understand what you're saying, but do the best you can, physically. The children... they might be in shock.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> :: With a child in each arm, she follows.::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::wonders why communication are work, and it appears life-support but nothing else...begins trying the recall the ship wiring plans if the systems are related some were...wishing his Padd work::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Self:  What the...?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: Ok.. this is too weird.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks around::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Of course.  We can take vitals and keep them for observation for a little while, if you like.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the CTO and CSO look around, they can see that the Halas' hull number has the last two digits reversed and as they look up...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: We are out and about.  The suits do not work, but we can still use them... apparently.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::slowly and reluctantly looks up::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Explain.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Hands each child a few sheets of paper and a couple writing instruments:: Kids: All righty - while I examine you, I want you to make up some Title plaques for the biobeds. Take your time to get them right, then you have them just the way you want them, I'll get the embossed onto the plaques.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::almost unwilling to let anyone but Kela and he touch them, but keeps himself in check while the doctors look over the triplets first::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: ...they notice that what passes for the USS Halas is inside a cavernous space and is surrounded by other vessels of various designs.  None of the other ships is recognizable.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*:  I am not sure I can... it is rather like everything else.  And if this is our ship... :: shakes her head::  The last two digits of our ship registry are reversed.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks down wondering what exactly they are standing on::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Taps at the biobed a few times, then shakes her head:: CMO: Nothing. Going manual.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Are we in space or not?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shakes his head at the CSO::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks over at Ki and seeing his expression, looks up.::  *CEO*: Dang woody....
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the CSO and CTO look off into the distance, the ships stretch in all directions for what seems like kilometers.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
*CEO*:  We're inside a ... a shipyard and the Halas is directly above us.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Beginning with Jerni, begins to manually take vitals, taking the pulse at the neck, tracking their breathing rate, testing their forehead temperature, noting skin discoloration, clamminess, and such, pupil dilation or constriction::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Slowly::  *CEO*: As Ki said, but it is more then that.  There are ships here I have never seen.  :: even quieter.:: And there are no stars.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Further yet, beyond all the ships, there seems to be rows upon rows upon rows of large windows with beings of all shapes and sizes mulling around on the other side.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans over his wife's shoulder and kisses baby Juleah who's energy is a bit spent and is lightly dozing on her mother's shoulder::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::squints and grows pale at what he sees::  CSO:  They're watching us...
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Understood - I think. Return to the ship
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: uhhh... ummm...
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::frozen in fear::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Jerni: How are you feeling? Any pains or stomach aches?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: This is not my nightmare, it must be yours.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni> ::her attention wandering a bit:: MO: No.... I'm fine thanks, how are you?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Takes Kieran’s wrist, checking his pulse and smiling reassuringly toward him::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> ::blinks but doesn't talk while the doctor checks him out::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Smiles genially:: Jerni: A little shaken, but good. I'm glad to see you all are safe.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
<Kela> CO: We are all fine you know.  You however... your blood pressure is elevated.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::feels the hair standing up on the back of his neck::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni> ::formally:: MO: Thank you very much...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*CEO*: This is not good... not good at all.
Host SMDave says:
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CTO: Let's head back in... please.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rests his head against his wife's:: Kela: With good reason. I'm relieved you all are find... but I want to know who took you - and us - and why.
