USS Seleya - Stardate 9901.31

Host Cheryl says:
The device on Cortez Station has been reactivated, and Commander Pang has evacuated the station, remaining alone with the device.  The captain is nearby in a runabout.

Host Cheryl says:
The device has indicated some evidence of sentiency, regarding Bolitho as its creator, apparently.

CMO-Starr says:
CTO: I want you to keep a close watch on the energy readings from the weapon.

EO_Bolitho says:
%::materialises aboard the runabout::

XO_Pang says:
@::watches with relief as Bolitho shimmers out::

CTOCruzer says:
CMO: aye sir

SO_M`Toc says:
::At SCI Station 1

CMO-Starr says:
SO: Keep a lock on the XO if there is any sign of the weapon firing.

XO_Pang says:
@Device:  What is your name?

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Sat in pilots chair aboard the runabout::

SO_M`Toc says:
CMO:  Aye Sir

EO_Bolitho says:
%::glances over into the clearly unhappy face of Captain Peters::

SO_M`Toc says:
::Sets lock on CO's signal

CIV_Vndor says:
::getting acquainted with systems in Port Nacelle Control Room::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Name..... I don't understand.  You are not Dr. Evans.

XO_Pang says:
@Device:  I am of Dr. Evans kind .... my name is Kay Lee .... what is your name?

EO_Bolitho says:
%::begins taking of bio suit::

Host CO_Peters says:
%EO:  Keep scanning the device.  Let me know if anything changes.

EO_Bolitho says:
%CO: Aye sir

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Bring back the creator.  You sent him away.  Return him, now.

CTOCruzer says:
CMO: No energy change. Sir

XO_Pang says:
@Device:  I am the creator .... conundrum

CMO-Starr says:
TO: Keep the weapons warm, but do not bring them online unless we are fired upon.

Host CO_Peters says:
%EO:  Keep that thing on you may need to go back.  The device did identify you as Evans.

SO_M`Toc says:
Computer:  Bring all available files on the Weapon relating to the word conundrum.

CMO-Starr says:
CTO: Very good, just don't get distracted ::grins::::

Cns_Moore says:
::in his office finishing up final reports on the senior crew and Jamie Donaldson::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  You are not.  It was the other one.

EO_Bolitho says:
%::zips up bio suit::

XO_Pang says:
@Device: In fact the other creator is also me ... Dr. Evans .... we are two and one

TO-Toran says:
::Sets up so that with one tap weapons will go online::

CMO-Starr says:
::continues listening to Pang's conversation with the weapon::

XO_Pang says:
@Device:  I am the creator .... he is the creator .... Dr. Evans is the creator ... we are all the creators

SO_M`Toc says:
::Continues scans of runabout::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::powers up weapons array::  You are not the one.

EO_Bolitho says:
%::monitors the device::

XO_Pang says:
@Device: We have different names .... ok hold it ..... I will get the other one back

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  I'm sending Bolitho back

XO_Pang says:
@COM: CO: Bolitho back please!

Host CO_Peters says:
%EO:  Get ready

Cns_Moore says:
Kyra: Could you give me hand? Please put all the personal effects I have in the office in a storage container

EO_Bolitho says:
%CO: sir weapon array for the device has powered up

TO-Toran says:
::Notices surge::

CMO-Starr says:
CTO: How much energy is the weapon drawing on?

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Energises transporter::

SO_M`Toc says:
CMO:  The weapon is powering up.

CTOCruzer says:
CMO: The Weapon is charging up sir

Cns_Moore says:
<Kyra> Moore: Yessir

XO_Pang says:
@Device: Evans will confirm that I am also the creator

CMO-Starr says:
SO: How much Ensign?

CMO-Starr says:
TO: Be ready!

SO_M`Toc says:
::Continues scans of runabout::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The device activates, firing out rays, both on the station and towards outside targets, not targeting, interestingly enough, Bolitho's location

EO_Bolitho says:
@::reappears on the station::

TO-Toran says:
::Fires::

CMO-Starr says:
CTO: Shields up, red alert!

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Good to see you ...::notices fire incoming from Seleya:: COM: Seleya Cease Fire!

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Raises shields and engages evasives::

EO_Bolitho says:
@device: you will stop all hostile activity immediately

TO-Toran says:
::Raises shields::

CMO-Starr says:
FCO: evasive manoeuvres!

CIV_Vndor says:
::hears the red alert klaxons::

CMO-Starr says:
TO: Cease fire.

CMO-Starr says:
<FCO>: Aye Maam, changing course now.

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::complies with Bolitho's order::

TO-Toran says:
::Stops firing::

XO_Pang says:
@Device: Why did you lash out like that?

CMO-Starr says:
TO: Good job, but please wait until I tell you to fire next time.

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::remains silent::

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  definitely child like behaviour

XO_Pang says:
@EO: You ask it!

TO-Toran says:
CMO: Sorry sir

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : your are not to open fire again unless I request it ! Do you understand?

CMO-Starr says:
<FCO>: Out of firing range of the weapon Maam.

CMO-Starr says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Dr. Evans:  I understand.

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO: But not targeted anywhere that mattered thank goodness

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: why did you attack the ship?

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Dr. Evans:  I require that you remain here.

CMO-Starr says:
TO: It's understandable Ensign but wait orders next time.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO : Random irrational behaviour.  It's a child wanting attention from it's parents

TO-Toran says:
::Nods in agreement::

Cns_Moore says:
::goes to work on the pile of PADDs that accumulated on his desk during his service on the bridge

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : Then I will stay here

TO-Toran says:
CMO: Yes sir

CMO-Starr says:
::listens to conversation between the XO and CO::

XO_Pang says:
@Device:  Now you have both creators here .... what is your name ....

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::powers down to standby mode::

EO_Bolitho says:
@::looks over at the XO  and nods::

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO/Seleya:  Device in standby mode ....

Cns_Moore says:
CMO: What is happening topside Doctor?

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, perhaps they should treat it like a child.  Give it specific orders as you would a child.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  Noted

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  Exactly.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: XO: Acknowledged Commander.

Cns_Moore says:
::going about his work quickly and quietly::

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Ma'am I think were ok for the moment, you have um more experience with children Commander what do you suggest I say to the device?

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Well .... I am open to suggestions Lt .... we need it to identify itself .... and stop behaving like a cross baby

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  If it acknowledged Bolitho as it's creator then it's programming is clearly defective.  Tell it needs to let us access it's programs from the Seleya.

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  I think you must explain to it that you cannot be in this room all the time

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO: ok ...

CMO-Starr says:
SO: You heard the CO, be prepared to D/L info if it consents.

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Over to you

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : I want you to allow the ship outside by the name of the Seleya access to your programs

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::activates power circuits::  As you wish, Doctor.

CMO-Starr says:
SO: Access the weapons program files now.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  Okay you should have access.  See what you can find.

XO_Pang says:
@COM: CO/Seleya:  Any upload from the station should be isolated in a separate computer .... we do NOT need nasties in the main computer

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Isolated the starboard computer core, and use that.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO/XO: It is being D/L to a separate computer as we speak.

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: Make sure there is no two way feed I don't want it to find out who I really am!

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO/Seleya ... did you catch that?  no two-way feed?

CMO-Starr says:
<SO> CMO: aye Maam, D/L to stand alone computer now.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: XO: One way feed only Kay Lee.

CIV_Vndor says:
::climbing down through jeffreys tube from nacelle::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The uplink from the Device to the ship goes flawlessly

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  If this thing is starting to become self-aware, it may be having a hard time dealing with it.  Get the cns to assist.  May be he can offer a different insight into this problem.

Cns_Moore says:
*CMO* Maybe I can be of assistance doctor I have experience working with children and I am skilled in psychiatry

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Ask it if it remembers another ship here recently?

XO_Pang says:
@EO: We need to find out about the Isis

Host CO_Peters thinks:  %::Good Kay Lee::

EO_Bolitho says:
@::nods at the XO:: Device: do you remember another ship being here?

CMO-Starr says:
*CNS*: The Captain has asked for you presence on the bridge.

Cns_Moore says:
*CMO* On my way

Cns_Moore says:
::leaves the final arrangements to Kyra and makes his way to TL::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Evans:  Another vessel, such as the one out there now?

Cns_Moore says:
TL: Bridge

CIV_Vndor says:
::entering ME and looks around::

Cns_Moore says:
::arrives on bridge::

XO_Pang says:
@EO: The Isis was much smaller

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : Similar but smaller

Cns_Moore says:
::takes XO's seat::

CMO-Starr says:
CNS: How do you handle a child that is misbehaving?

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Evans:  There was one similar.  It would keep me from reaching you.

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: why did it keep you from reaching me?

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  What did the device do .... was it angry?

Cns_Moore says:
CMO: Depending on it's age you would ask the child what he thought the problem was that was causing his behaviour

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  It told me you existed no more.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, did you hear the CNS’s response?

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: so you destroyed the ship?

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: Cns:  Pass it onto the XO

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Tell it that that is past ... and it would never do anything like that again ... or you would be very upset!

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  I did not like its answers.  I swatted it away.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  Tell it that was wrong, you harmed the creators friends.

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: In dealing with a human child who is misbehaving, you would ask the child what he thought the problem was that was causing his behaviour

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : You will never do that again or else I will become very upset!

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO:  I have suggested to Lt. Bolitho a way of explaining ....

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::pauses for a moment, as though thinking::  Upset......  I understand. Upset means retribution is required.  I understand.

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Tell it that it's swat should be powered down until you tell it it can use it again

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: What do you think of such an approach Sir?

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: we have already done that Ma'am!

CMO-Starr says:
COM: EO: Ask the devise if it would like for you to leave?  When it says no, then tell it that if it responds in that manner again, you will leave.

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I think it understand that I should punish it?

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Taking its weapons off-line would be a punishment?

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO: I agree with Bolitho.  What would be a good punishment for a machine?

EO_Bolitho says:
@COM: CMO: noted Ma'am

Cns_Moore says:
COM: CO: Yes taking it's "toys" away is a good punishment in my opinion

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO: Tell it you are taking it's weapons away from it.  We can take them off-line permanently from the Seleya

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: We could try and tell it to shut it self down?

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: In dealing with a human child who is misbehaving, you would ask the child what he thought the problem was that was causing his behaviour

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, children do not like to be left alone.  Perhaps this is the problem!

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: What do you think of such an approach Sir?

Host Cheryl says:
<Device>  ::waits::

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Tell it that .... what the CO suggested .... or it can choose to stop using them itself?

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: Do you realise that I have to punish you for destroying that ship?

XO_Pang says:
@COM: CNS: We have established that the device was upset because Isis told it that Dr. Evans could not come to it

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  I don't want to shut it down unless absolutely necessary

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Punishment is not required.  It would not comply with my requests.

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: It seems it understands that what it did was wrong Tell it it should know better than to act like that

EO_Bolitho says:
@::confused request?:: Device: what are your request?

XO_Pang says:
@EO: Tell it that some of your friends were hurt when he swatted the Isis?

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  I asked only that you be returned.

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: Some of the creator's friends were hurt when you swatted the ship!

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CNS: Acknowledged .... give us time please

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Mutes connection to station::

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Tell it that it should not lash out at people or ships when it is frustrated or it seems they do not understand it

Cns_Moore says:
COM: XO: Yes Ma'am I am just giving you my input so that you may be ready with a quick response for the device

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  Now that you have access to it's programs, can we figure out a way to take the weapons off-line?

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Creator:  I am confused.  I will reduce power to weapons, and try to gain an understanding from the available data.

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I have already told the device it will not attack unless I tell it to!

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, science is looking over the program now.

Angelique says:
::in her and Craig’s room packing up Their things::

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device : very good, I am proud of you for realising what you did before was a wrong thing

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  Get them to concentrate their efforts on it's weapon programs.

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Now it has taken some of the power from its weapons .... do we have a chance to get it to let you out of here?

EO_Bolitho says:
@XO: I rather not take the chance just yet Ma'am

CMO-Starr says:
<SO> CMO: Maam, there seems to be two programs, one for weap9onry and the other intelligence.  They have merged somehow.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, did you hear that?

Angelique says:
:: replicates  pet carries for Silver and his 3 kittens that belong to Angelique and Craig::

XO_Pang says:
@::overhears the comms between Seleya and CO ... hope begins to rise::

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO:  Got it.  Can they be separated again?

XO_Pang says:
@EO: But we cannot keep you here indefinitely Lt ::grins::

CMO-Starr says:
<SO> CMO: Maam, I am working on the separation now.  Tell the CO to give me just a few more minutes.

CIV_Vndor says:
::starts fiddling with simulations of warp field variances::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::hums along in standby power mode::

Cns_Moore says:
*Angelique*: Kyra packed up the stuff in my office if she's done maybe she can give you a hand

EO_Bolitho says:
@::Smiles back at the XO:: XO: No Ma'am I have no intentions of staying here if it can be helped

CMO-Starr says:

Angelique says:
*Craig*:  as you wish. :; sadly::

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: Level 4 diagnostic on your weapons system

CMO-Starr says:
<SO>: CMO: Maam, I think I have it.  Shall I try the program now?

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, on your orders?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Device suddenly powers up....

Cns_Moore says:
*Angelique* Kyra wants to come to earth with us she says she has no family free from the Dominion and we have become like her family, speak to her

XO_Pang says:
@::wanders round the room racking brains .... how to persuade the device that Bolitho is here when he isn't::

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Standby

Host Cheryl says:
@Device:  Dr. Evans:  You wish to deactivate me.

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: You are my creation why would I want to do that?

XO_Pang says:
@EO:  Not for ever .... but for a time so that you can continue your studies?

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Hears the change in the tone of the device::

CMO-Starr says:
::waiting to instigate the worm protocol into the program of the weapon::

Host Cheryl says:
@Device:  I have monitored the communications; you wish to remove the essence of my being.

Angelique says:
*Craig*:  I don't see why not.  She's welcome to come.  :: finishes her things::

XO_Pang says:
@COM:CO/Seleya:  This is getting hairy ... is there any way of getting a holographic Bolitho over here?

Cns_Moore says:
CMO: Would it be possible to set up a hologram of the EO and leave it on the station?

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO: Get ready to leave Kay Lee.  This doesn't sound good

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device:  I have no wish to remove the essence of your being, your logic is faulty

Cns_Moore says:
Angelique* I don't know if life on Earth is a good place for her

XO_Pang says:
@COM/CO:  If so ... make sure you get both of us .....

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Have Bolitho stress that we are separating the two programs, NOT deleting them!

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The Device activates self-destruction modes aboard the station.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO:  I have both of you locked in

XO_Pang says:
@CO: Get us out of here now!

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, self destruct has been activated!

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device: I order you to stop the self destruct sequence

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: EO: Did you get that.  Separating not deleting.  It will still exist

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Acknowledged.  How long before detonation

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: XO: Energising.

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  Evans:  You are the creator.  You have the codes to deactivate.

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Two minutes as far as we can tell up here.

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Run the program

EO_Bolitho says:
@Device; We are merely separating you from your weapon system to run a diagnostic check

Angelique says:
*Craig*:  If she wants a good place to live it is one.  but it is her choice.

CMO-Starr says:
SO: Begin program.

XO_Pang says:
@::shimmers and dematerialises along with Bolitho and appears on the Runabout::

Host Cheryl says:
@<Device>  ::no longer responds::

CMO-Starr says:
<SO> CMO: Aye Maam, activating now.

Host CO_Peters says:
%::Notices his crew members arrive::

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Do we have the codes to deactivate the self-destruct

TO-Toran says:
CMO: Sir if we aim correctly we can destroy the self destruct systems

Cns_Moore says:
*Angelique* Agreed, I will see if we can get a deep space shuttle for all of our things

EO_Bolitho says:
%::arrives aboard the shuttle::

XO_Pang says:
%::rushes over to the helm ....preparing an evasive course:: CO: Moving back Sir

CMO-Starr says:
COM: CO: Sir, they are not in this program.  Perhaps the use of the word conundrum will stop it.

Cns_Moore says:
CMO: Even if we did I'm sure the device changed them

Host CO_Peters says:
%COM: CMO: Try it.

CMO-Starr says:
TO: How do you target a program?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Time is up, and Cortez Station goes up in a blazing fireball

Host CO_Peters says:
%EO: Get us back to the Seleya

CMO-Starr says:
