USS Seleya's mission to Andreik continues to take strange turns as unusual malfunction in the ship's systems erupt into another information leak extending from the ship to a distant, unknown source...

...Meanwhile, Commander A'an Selzah continues the investigation regarding the previous info leaks where the evidence points to LtJG. Farson and his son Gabriel...

...and on Andreik itself, Dr. Knight-Sky attempts to further delve into the mind of a willing Augur, seeking the answers to their time-sensing (or lack thereof) dilemma...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: On the planet within the augurs quarters, waiting for his answer, and not without some trepidation.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::sitting in her chair at the bridge...annoyed::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks around the room for the two boys. :: All:  Gabriel Farson?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Working at his console on the bridge::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Sitting to the left of the Captain, equally annoyed::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS/FCO: What do our engineers say?

Augur #1 says: 
@MO: A...mind meld, you say?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::standing in the Main Computer Control Room, lit up by massive banks of isolinear components, trying to divine just by looking at them the nature of what's going on the ship::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns around in his chair:: CO: Engineering recommends shutting down the computer core to prevent further problems...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: I don't suppose you have any engineering skills?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  But, in doing that, we will be dead in the water and defenceless.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Can we switch to backup during that period?

Gabe says: 
::looks up from his handheld game and spots the XO:: XO: Umm, th-that's me, sir?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: I once fixed my toaster?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ Augur: Yes.  The hypnosis told me something of what you saw... at least the end results.  Perhaps by knowing more... what exactly happened, we might prevent it or at least lessen it.  Knowledge is power.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: looks at the handheld game the boy is playing. :: Gabe:  I need to ask you some questions about that game you were playing in your father’s quarters.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: If we can't use backup perhaps we can keep some fundamental systems. I don't expect trouble orbiting Andreik, the one thing we have to make sure is that the ship doesn't plunge to the planet or a moon or any ship

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: If this is a software issue, then no.. The cores are synchronized so they contain the same data, in case one of both fails... But that means the problems would be in both cores.. Again, if it's a software thing...

Augur #1 says: 
@ MO: Is this...meld, safe? I do not wish harm for either of us.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::runs his fingers through his hair as he looks over the banks, hoping for some answer to jump out at him that won’t leave the ship crippled:: Self: Think... think....

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Can you please talk with engineering to find that out. The cores do have some independence to prevent them both to be taken over by a virus. But if you do have to switch it down I will need a time period and what systems exactly will be affected

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  If we're in orbit, we shouldn't have a problem staying here.  ::grins::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ Augur: No meld is ever that simple.  But if what you told me is true, your world may lie in the balance.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods and turns around, opening a link to Tana:: *EO*: Pandora to Tana...

Gabe says: 
XO: Oh, that? Just some crummy game my buddy Geoff talked me into playing with him. I don't play it anymore. It takes forever just to level up.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Gabe: Have you played it recently?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Remember the orbit will have to be maintained without any corrections. When I get an ETA on the computer shut down I can give you more precise information to plan the course

EO Ens Tana says: 
::almost doesn't hear it at first, snowed under the magnitude of the problem - but slowly realizes his badge is beeping at him:: *OPS*: Tana here, sir.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Understood Captain.

Gabe says: 
XO: Not for a couple of days. What's up? Am I in trouble? Seriously, I didn't do anything wrong. Ask my dad!

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
*EO*: We have a question for you, ensign... Is it possible to take down the one computer core the problems are occurring on, and run on the other one alone? And if so what would this do with operational readiness for the ship?

Augur # 1 says: 
@ MO: Then do as you must... ::resigns himself to the MO if it will help his fellow Augurs::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Shakes his head. ::  Gabe:  Calm down, you’re not in trouble.  Where is your friend Geoff?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: We will have to break the communications silence to send a message to the planetary orbital control. They will have to know we lost manoeuvrability

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: If you would please give me but a moment to prepare.

Gabe says: 
XO: He just went home. Wait, is Geoff in trouble. Ah man, his mom is gonna kill him if he is!

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns:: CO: Captain, I'll remind you our communication systems are powered down... They won't be online in a hurry..

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Closes her eyes::  ~~~~ FCO: You are not going to be thrilled with events.~~~~

Augur #1 says: 
@ MO: Of course.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: We won't shut down before sending a message

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Shakes his head again. ::  Gabe:  No, he’s not in trouble either.  Was he playing the game just now, before he left?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::walks over to the rail and looks down the massive processing tower:: *OPS*: Yes sir, we could try that. If only one is off, we should be okay. But if both need to be taken down... I'm sure you know how massively that's going to damage operability.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Have I ever been thrilled when you mindmeld?~~~

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~FCO: I will need your support.  But given the situation up there, can you ask the captain if we have a Vulcan aboard she can spare who would be willing to assist?~~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Stand by, I'll ask.~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Captain, Sierra has asked if you could spare any Vulcan onboard to assist her.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: *EO*: Yeah... Nothing I fancy facing if we don't have to.... ::Turns to the captain:: CO: Captain, engineering says we can go ahead with a single core shutdown...

Gabe says: 
XO: Nah, we both got bored of it. Stupid guild and their stupid Ktarian guildmaster. Says his dad was in Starfleet, and would get us in trouble if we didn't go and do pointless raids with him whenever he wanted.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Yes of course. Can you run through the roster? I think there are a few medical assistants who are Vulcan. Have them report to transporter room 1. Let’s see if we can beam them down before we shut down the computer altogether

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::nods at OPS:: OPS: Proceed

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods and gets up, moving to the engineering station on the bridge::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Aye.  ::brings up the ships roster and starts reviewing::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  We'll be sending down a medical assistant shortly.  And I'll be with you as well.~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods at Gabe. ::  Gabe:  I take it this game connects you to other players all over the quadrant then?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ FCO: Thanks.  And yes, we will be careful.~~~~ :: mentally smiles.::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Starts tapping the console:: *EO*: Proceeding with computer core shutdown, alpha core...

Gabe says: 
XO: Just in Fed space, pretty much.

EO Ens Tana says: 
*OPS*: Understood. I'll monitor from here if you don't mind.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods. :: Gabe:  Alright, do you know of anyone else on the ship who plays this game?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::looks at the viewscreen worried::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Keeps tapping the screen, routing all command functions through the secondary core:: *EO*: Not at all.. Let me know if any problems arise...

ACTION: The primary computer core initiates shutdown sequence, and goes offline without a hitch. Seleya automatically reroutes command functions to the backup core.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*Quaral*:  Please report to TR1 and prepare to join Dr. Knight-Sky on the surface.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::sits down opposite the DemLeader having finally arrived at a quieter destination::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: Are you alright, Captain? ::Watches her intently::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::notices some consoles flicker and supposes it happened already:: CIV: There is nothing you can do

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks over at the tactical officer with her who looks both confused and not pleased at events.::  Tac: Please inform the CTO where things stand here so he need not worry... too much.

Gabe says: 
XO: Not really. I mean, I heard there's other kids like me on board, but I don't know them all. Maybe they do, I dunno. Geoff's the only one I know so far.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ DemLeader: So, uh..I didn't get your name?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns around and heads back to his console:: CO: Core alpha offline, sir... Looks alright so far... ::Takes a seat at his own console again::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
CO: Perhaps you'd care for something to drink?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::watches the various systems shut down and the Operations staff in the command centre standing around uncertainly:: *OPS*: It looks alright down here, Lieutenant. Shall I go to Beta Core?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods::  Gabe:  Alright, do me a favour and keep this conversation between you and me ok?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
*EO*: Yeah, keep a close eye on the system loads.. Warn me if they go over 95 percent...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Very well, let me know when we have an answer about the status of the second one

DemLeader says: 
@CTO: Sho'Toah. We are speaking our voices against the old ways of the Augurs, and the new age of self-determination for our people, and our destinies.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Gabe:  Wheres Geoffs quarters?

Sec 1 says: 
*CTO*: Doctor Knight-Sky has asked that I inform you that they are about to perform a mind meld.  Apparently the hypnosis was not enough.

Gabe says: 
XO: Sure, uh, sir? ::looks at the XO, still confused by this sudden visit by a big-wig redshirt::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: I don't feel any change in direction or speed so I take it the ship is stable. My biggest concern is still the engines

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: Meaning what exactly?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Yes sir... Engineering is dispatching a team to the core to keep an eye on things down there... If this core runs stable, then I'm afraid we need to do a thorough physical search of the primary computer core, see whether anyone tampered with it...

EO Ens Tana says: 
*OPS*: Yes sir. Tana out. ::on the run over to the port side of the ship to the Beta Core control centre::

Gabe says: 
XO: It's Deck 5, section 12, I think.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  You are correct Captain.  Ship is holding stable.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
::Nods.:: What’s his last name?

Gabe says: 
XO: He's probably alone. His folks are at work now.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: If that is the case then we will have to ask Starfleet for assistance

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Has Quaral made it down yet?~~~

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@~~~~ FCO: No.~~~~

Gabe says: 
::hesitates to answer, but figures the uniforms are gonna figure it out anyways:: XO: It's Ramsey.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Realizes she's not going to get a reply from the Captain, with a shrug she returns her attention to the PADD in front of her::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
::Nods. ::  Gabe:  Alright, thank you Gabe, you've been very helpful.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Turns and leaves the room, taps his combadge. :: *CO*:  A'an to Gomes.

ACTION: A diagnostic alert sounds on the OPS console. An anomalous subroutine has been detected in the backup core system.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Hold on for just a moment longer.  We took systems offline and they should be back up in a moment.~~~

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ *SEC_1*: Acknowledged. Keep me informed

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ FCO: Understood.~~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Heads down the corridor to the TL and enters. ::  TL:  Deck 5

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: CO: I know, captain... I know... ::Taps his console, getting frustrated with all the problems they are facing, the stream of them not at all growing smaller::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Sierra is standing by with the mindmeld until Quaral joins her.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Computer:  Computer locate Geoff Ramsey.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: I think the Vulcan should beam down now; it may be the only chance

EO Ens Tana says: 
::catches his hand on the mab of the Beta Control Centre’s door and swings inside, looking around:: *OPS*: Tana to Pandora... the loads look okay so far... ::looking around at the various monitors, staying out of the operations staff's way::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Nods at the security officer and then turns back to the augur, picturing in her mind Quaral.  She handled the staffing schedule at the moment and had met all the medical staff, but that did not mean she knew them all as of yet.::

Sho'Toah says: 
@CTO: Meaning, we no longer wish the Augurs to show us our fates. Their lost powers show this as an omen that self-determination shall be the new way for us.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps off the TL and heads down the corridor to section 12. ::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
*OPS*: Understood, keep an eye on it.. ::Opens the data flow data from the primary computer core at the time just before they switched off communications::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: I thought that it wasn't forced upon anyone; the information was stored away and accessed when needed or wanted?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: walks to the door and taps in his command override and walks in. :: All:  Geoff Ramsey?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: What is our status?

ACTION: Quaral beams down to the MO's location.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  I'm sensing you have company.  Am I correct?~~~

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns as he spots the blinking lights:: Self: Oh no.... ::Turns around:: CO: Captain, we have another problem...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks at the medical officer as they beam down, quickly placing him.  Motions him to join her on the floor.::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns back to his console and pulls up more detailed information about this latest report::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: What is it?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ FCO: Yes.  I am about to fill him.  We should be fine so you can focus on worrying mainly what is going on up there.~~~~

EO Ens Tana says: 
::flinches every time he's brushed by the Operations crew rushing about after the sudden load on Beta Core, trying to keep an eye on its chief system operation display::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Anomalous subroutine detected in the secondary computer core... Looks like our computer has been infested with whatever problem we have...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Prepare a buoy with a signal to Starfleet and the Andreik government summarising our problems with the computer, asking assistance from Starfleet and telling them we will be computer-less for an undetermined amount of time

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Walks over to the computer console, and then taps his combadge. :: *CO*:  A'an to Captain Gomes.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Prepare to take the whole computer offline. How long will we survive without it?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO* Gomes here. I hope you have good news

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Disengages the game. ::

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: No, it is the reliance we have placed on the Augurs' foretelling abilities that we speak out against. We must be stronger than we have been.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CO*:  We'll know in a few minutes.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  On it now Captain.  ::begins preparing buoy::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: A few hours... Days if we switch off all systems except the bare necessary...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: We are having problems with the computer which may cause us to shut it down altogether

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::nods at OPS::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CO*:  I think I have a theory on that, let me know if this helps.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Fills Quaral in with the details so he is fully cognisant of what has occurred and what is about to occur.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: Any idea is good right now ::puts the XO on speaks for the whole bridge to hear::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: And how does your demonstration here convey that message to the people? Surely it would speak out to more people if you were elsewhere

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::launches buoy::  CO:  Buoy launched Captain.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Kills the game's connection. ::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Once he understands and has given his consent, she motions the augur to rejoin her on the floor.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Taps his combadge. ::  *CO*:  What’s the status now?  Any change?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  I will engage transmission on your mark.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Takes deep calming breaths, then lifts her hand to his brow.  Quietly::  Augur: My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts...

CO Cmdr Gomessays: 
*XO*: One moment. OPS: What is our status now?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Stand by... ::Taps his console, updating the information::

@ ACTION: The MO feels a familiar cold.

CO Cmdr Gomessays: 
::nods at the FCO:: FCO: I do hope Commander Aan is really on to something

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Feels a shudder slip through her reminding her of her meld with Lii.  Her mind touches with the augur, calming him.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::waits, trying to be patient::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  I'm with you on that.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::pacing carefully between the swarming bodies, trying to decide between his duty to monitor the situation and his need to get out of the crush of people around him::

So'Toah says: 
@ CTO: We may not have much support now, but in time, more will follow. Perhaps the Augurs themselves will join us in our new age of hope and independence from pre-destination.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks around the room. :: Geoff:  Geoff Ramsey....I need you to come out here son, we need to talk.  You’re not in trouble; we just need to know about this game you've been playing.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ Augur: We are going to go back to that time, ten minutes before the event happened.~~~~ :: Senses Quaral at hand, ready and always there, her husband.::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: The subroutine is still there... But seems to be inactive now.. I'm putting a trace on it, see where it leads.. ::Taps some buttons to effect just that::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Good keep at it and keep me informed

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Hold that buoy transmission for now

@ ACTION: Sierra slips into what appears to be the realm of the Augur's mind. But it is not what she expected ... she is back in the garden of the Pathfinders, where she last spoke to Lii in her mind.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Aye Captain.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: The routine that made so much trouble in the computer is inactive. OPS is trying to trace it. What did you do?

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: And why is it you want this so badly? Surely this has been a good thing throughout your history, and if someone wants a prediction shouldn't he be entitled?

@ ACTION: Except now the garden is a flaming ruin. The astral form of the Augur stands beside Sierra ... he looks frightened.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CO*:  I found that game running in a young boys quarters Captain, it was committing a massive upload.  I killed the connection and am hoping this take care of our immediate problem.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Blinks, not trying at all to hide her confusion as she recognizes the garden.  What was the connection with this garden?  Before, it seemed a place of safety.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: Do you believe that game somehow infiltrated our main computer and drained resources? It definitely should not have happened. Do you suspect foul play?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Lightly touches the Augur's mind::  Augur: Do you know this place?

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: Perhaps in years past, that was their option, but you see, it became more than a choice. The Augurs became a part of our very culture, the identify of all the people of Andreik.

Augur #1 says: 
@ MO: No ... no ... this is horrible. Is this our future?

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: Are they not part of your culture?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CO*:  I'm not sure how, but someone is definitely using this game as a smokescreen for this data transfer.  No Doubt.  The boy's name is Geoff Ramsey, but he isn’t in his quarters now, the game was running unattended.  I suggest we initiate a shipwide search for him as he's apparently our best link to what the hell this is all about.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks up from his console:: CO: Captain, contrary to what I just said, the subroutine is still active.. Only due to its inability to send anything anymore, it's degrading... I do, however, have traces from various databases throughout the ship, from which it is transmitting data...

@ ACTION: Lii's voice is heard ... "Sierra."

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@~~~~ Augur: The future is not written in stone, you of all people know that.  This is... I do not know.  This is not your world...~~~~ ::pauses as she hears a familiar voice.::

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: Not anymore... ::turns to the Magii building:: ...the Augurs lost their sense of the future. We believe this is nature's way of making each individual stronger for themselves. No longer told of our possibilities, but rather to boldly make choices on our own.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: Agreed, you have permission to lead it and send a ship-wide order, no online games are allowed until we determine the cause of this

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks around::  ~~~~ Lii?~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: What kind of databases?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CO*:  Apparently, this game is being played by more than one person on the ship, we should initiate a shipwide shutdown of any outgoing transmissions if possible.

@ ACTION: Behind them is Lii ... or what appears to be Lii. Her eyes are gone, replaced with a darkness ... blood weeps from her sockets. "Why do you keep coming back here?"

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*XO*: We did that an hour ago so it is not a problem anymore

Augur #1 says: 
@ ::Gasps::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: It doesn't seem to kind from my perspective, and forgive me as I do not know the entire story, but they helped you for so long and now you turn your backs on them too? ::smiles to show he means no offense::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: I had listed here some 80... No, 85 databases, and the computer is still scanning for more... Medical, engineering... Even helm control data is being transmitted... Almost as if someone is trying to make a perfect copy of all data we have on this ship..

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Turns toward the child, sorrow at her condition passing through her.:: ~~~~Lii: I do not know what keeps bringing me here.  Lii, what has happened to you?~~~~ :: Moves instinctually toward the child.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Taps his combadge. ::  *CTO*:  I want a security sweep on every deck, I want every one playing this game detained and any active nodes shut down.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: A spy device definitely. So you will have to completely deactivate the computer?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  That is very disturbing Captain.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Computer:  Computer, locate Geoff Ramsey.

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: Not at all. We call out to the Augurs, not to spurn them, but to bring them out of their seclusion, and join their fellow Andreikians in fellowship.

Lii says: 
@ ::Points away from them:: ~~~~ 280, 14, 28, 315, 21 ~~~~~

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Not just yet... I'm trying to see whether we can go about this different... I'll have to confer with engineering to be sure we can do this though...

Computer says: 
XO: Geoff Ramsey is located in the Main Lounge.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~ Lii: But what do the numbers mean?~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Proceed. Have engineering and helm assist as needed

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Frowns. :: *aCTO*:  I also want a security team to head to the main lounge,  Have them meet me there.

Lii says: 
@ ::Whispers:: ~~~~ Stop trying to read between the lines, Sierra. You won't find the answer there. It's all in the name of God. ~~~~~ ::She vanishes::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Of course... ::Taps away at his console, letting the trace run as he follows the results gained so far::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Heads down the corridor to the TL.::  TL:  Main Lounge.

aCTO says: 
*XO* Aye Sir. ::sends a security team to the main lounge and initiates a sensor sweep::

@ ACTION: Where Lii pointed to is a large oak door that previously wasn't present.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Do you have any news from the surface?

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ DemLeader: How long do you plan to continue your demonstration today?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Has yet to find the book to be able to read through the lines.  Slightly frustrated, starts to turn back to the Augur only to pause as she sees the large oak door.::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks at the Augur and then walks toward the door.  Reaching for the mechanism to open it, she slowly proceeds to do so.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::turns to the Captain::  CO:  So far, Sierra is not harmed in any way.

@ ACTION: The door creaks open.

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: As long as we must. Will you join us?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps out of the TL and heads towards the lounge.  Instructs the security team to remain outside and enters the Lounge. ::

@ ACTION: And the future returns.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::nods at the FCO:: FCO: I think she is the only one making progress right now. I can only hope the CTO is not in trouble

@ ACTION: A great burst of white light strikes the MO and the Augur, and they are inundated with images.

ACTION: The FCO is suddenly overwhelmed with the same images that his wife sees.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Her mind tries to take in what is before them.::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ Sho'Toah: I think not, but thank you. All the best on your protest as long as it remains peaceful. Violence never got anybody anywhere,

ACTION: Voices and smells and sights rip through their minds ... "I am a traitor" ... "Who could ... who would ... who else?" "Captain! No!" "You are my last hope."

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::leans forward toward his console as the images appear::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Are you alright Commander?

SEC says: 
::arrives with his team in the lounge::

ACTION: "You must understand, I do this now for the sake of you all." "O-oh my god ... what have you done ..." "The Borg are approaching" "SIR! NO!!!"

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Her eyes track the vision, seeing those she knows and those she does not.  Voices flashing create a cacophony of sound she tries to separate into meaning.::

Sho'Toah says: 
@ CTO: We are agreed, good sir. You are welcome to join our vigil anytime if you change your mind. ::returns to the crowd::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::holds up his hand::  CO:  Just got a bit overwhelmed with some images.  I'm okay Captain.

@ ACTION: The cacophony fades ... and the MO finds herself back in reality ... the Augur is lying on the floor, breathing heavily.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::returns to the building and hits his combadge:: *Seleya*: Redwood to the Seleya

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::frowns:: FCO: If you feel you need to go to sickbay, by all means do so

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
::Walks over to the boy.::  Geoff:  Geoff Ramsey?

Geoff:  We need to take about that game of yours Geoff.

Geoff Ramsey says: 
XO: Uh ... what game?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Nods distractedly::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Nods her head and looks at the Augur::  Augur: For good or bad... but at least... now there is a chance.  If we can figure out what all we saw.  :: slumps forward slightly::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::wonders why the Seleya doesn't respond:: *MO*: Redwood to Knight-Sky

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: If they play any online game, go stop them

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Still working at his console, waiting to see whether more traces will be found::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Geoff:  The one that I found running in your quarters just now.  The one your friend Gabe doesn’t like.  The one with the Ktarian guildmaster.

Geoff Ramsey says: 
XO: Oh ... ok. Did I do something wrong?

Doctor Grey says: 
*CO* Captain, this is Doctor Grey.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Mumbles softly:: CO: They're not allowed to play games.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Reaches for her communicator and flips it open.  In a tired voice::  *CTO*: Sky here.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  I want you to rest up, is that understood?~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
Geoff:  I need to know who else on the ship is playing it.  I need you to come with me and answer some questions for the engineering staff.  Okay?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*Grey*: Gomes here

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CIV: I am glad

Geoff Ramsey says: 
XO: All right ...

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Nods::

Doctor Grey says: 
*CO* Ma'am ... Counselor Suder is gone. I hadn't heard from her in a bit, and went to check on her. I had been worried because she had been ... off, lately. But she's gone. She's not on the ship.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ *MO*: I've lost contact with the Seleya, I need you to return to somewhere more public

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Leads Geoff out of the lounge and has the security team escort them both to the TL. :: TL:  Bridge.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::blinks::*Grey*Off the ship? Is there any evidence as to how?

Doctor Grey says: 
*CO* No, ma'am. Security should probably be alerted. I'm quite worried.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ *CTO*: I can communicate via my husband.  Is there anything you wish them to know?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*Grey*: Thank you

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Stands a bit unsteadily.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Computer: When was Counselor Suder last detected aboard, and where?

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ *MO*: Through your husband? So they are still there? Why can't I contact them?

Augur #1 says: 
@ ::Stands up, listening to the demonstration outside:: MO: I'm not sure whether to thank you or not ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Self: Just what I needed

Computer says: 
CO: Counselor Kesh Suder was last detected in Transporter Room Two at approximately 0345 hours.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@Augur: Our lives may be more interconnected then we think.  But I do know, I would rather have as much facts to work with as possible.  I would rather go down fighting...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ *CTO*: There is something wrong with the ships computers.  They needed to do a restart.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS/FCO: New side project, find out why a Commander in Starfleet has gone AWOL

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ *MO*: And I was not informed because...?
