Host CO_Farrel says:
Captain's log stardate 10401.23.  Our shoreleave has come to an end.  I hope the crew feels rested and refreshed because I have a feeling on our next mission we will be working harder than ever.  On a personal note, I physically feel rested, but mentally the last couple weeks on Pacifica has given me a lot to think about...

CTO_Peters says:
::In her hotel room packing up both her and Alicia's things.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Crouching down onto the floor she lifts the bedspread up and checks under the bed.  She sighs as she spots a doll and two stuffed toys.:: Self:  Where does this girl get all this stuff?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Zips up the neck of her uniform.  She looks at herself in the mirror, using it to centre her communicator perfectly.  She sighs, gives her self a half-smile, and then turns to her bag.::

OPS_Regnum says:
::in his suite at the resort packing to return.  Ever since the incident over a week and a half ago he had pretty much locked himself in his room, going out on the patio to enjoy the sun and staying in and reading::

CSO_KTor says:
::In his room packing his things away::

Glitch says:
OPS: I still can't believe you wasted our vacation in this room

CTO_Peters says:
::Reaching under the bed she pulls out the errant toys.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral>  ::walking down the hallway of the hotel.  He stops as he finds the room he is looking for.  He gently knocks on K’Tor's door.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Looks up from packing:: Soral: Come in.

Glitch says:
OPS: No, I don't understand, that would be the reason I can't believe it

Host CO_Farrel says:
::She looks over to the dresser where a PADD lay.  It contained another message from Juan...sighing she pulls out the extendable handle of her suitcase, and walks out closing the door behind her.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> ::Enters.  He is wearing a red and brown rob, his posture is perfect.::  CSO: Lt. K'Tor, it is good to meet a fellow Vulcan.  ::He glances out the window at the vista below:: I trust your time here has helped clear you mind...

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Yells from the other room::  CTO:  I dunno Mommy!  I think I left them somewhere.

OPS_Regnum says:
::checks out of the hotel:: *Artemis* Regnum to Artemis, I'm ready for you to beam me and my gear up any time you are

CTO_Peters says:
::Groans and she begins the search for the missing shoes.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@<Artemis OPS> *OPS* : We're ready for you, Lt... Standby for transport...

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Wheels past Victor's room and pauses.  Deciding to check in on him, she raps on his door.::

OPS_Regnum says:
CO: Over here captain ::in the hallway not in the room::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Regnum is caught in a transporter beam, and finds himself on Transporter Room 4

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Looks over:: OPS: Oh, there you are.  Looks like I just caught you... ::Drags her suitcase over:: So where have you been the last week?

CTO_Peters says:
::after searching the room in vain she heads for the patio where she finds one red shoe in a potted plant.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: The pleasure is mine. Mr. Soral, I believe? And yes, my thoughts are more ordered for this time away from the job.

Host SM_Sergio says:
@<TR Chief> ::nods at Regnum:: OPS : Good to have you back, Lt..

Host CO_Farrel says:
Oh!  ::Is cut off as Regnum disappears in a swirl of sparkles:: Shoot... ::She looks around::  Well I guess it is time I be going as well... ::She wonders about the special thing she is potentially leaving behind...::

OPS_Regnum says:
@*CO* Sorry about that captain, had already ordered the beam out

OPS_Regnum says:
@TR Chief: Good to be back chief ::starts hauling his gear out of the transporter room, Glitch hovering behind him::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral>  ::Nods at the introduction::  CSO:  Good.  One's efficiency is improved by clearing the mind of all distractions. ::Places his hands together into a triangle::

CTO_Peters says:
::With one shoe in hand she continues to walk when she spots a red floating thing in the Jacuzzi.::
Host CO_Farrel says:
*OPS* that is alright, we'll chat in a bit...I’m just saying goodbye to this place, over.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Truly.

CTO_Peters says:
::With a deep sigh she reaches in and grabs the soggy shoe.::

OPS_Regnum says:
@::enters his quarters and makes a decision, he hooks up an interface cable up to glitch and then deactivates glitch, then begins uploading data into a console and starts to reprogram Glitch a bit::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Sitting on the beach of a quiet inlet, her arms wrapped around her folded legs as she looks outward at the ocean.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> ::Remains silent for a moment, taking measure of the fellow Vulcan before him.:: CSO: Lt, I am doing research into psionic energy.  I have been doing extensive research, and learned that you were involved with an excavation on Vulcan?

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: I visited the site, but I would hardly say I was involved with the excavation.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> ::Furrows brows a little:: CSO: Wasn't your father involved with the project?

Host CO_Farrel says:
*TR* Transporter room, lock on to me and beam me to Commander Mea'e's location.  ::Stands ready:: Energize when ready.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Yes, he is an archaeologist.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Can you tell me about the device he uncovered?  I am curious as to how it might help with my research on psionic devices.  ::Gives him a look of interest::

CTO_Peters says:
::With a sigh she looks out into the blue blue oceans once more and wishes they weren't leaving.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: I presume you are referring to the psionic resonator?

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Indeed.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Yes, he found an intact psionic resonator stone. As I'm sure you are aware, there are other intact samples, but this one seems extraordinarily pure.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Smiles as Tl'ick plays around.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Materializes on the beach in a shower of sparkles.  She spots La'i, and leaves her suitcase to walk over.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: It even had a little telepathic residue still contained in it.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Residue?  Elaborate.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Feels Hali's presence and sighs, putting her forehead on her knees, closing her eyes.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: When I visited the site my mind felt the stone's power, although I never actually attempted to activate it.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Quite disconcerting, considering the potential for destruction of the devices.

OPS_Regnum says:
@::finishes the programming and saves glitch into an isolinear chip:: Nobody: Goodbye glitch....

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Stands beside her.:: CMO: I'm not sure if it is going to be hard or not to say goodbye to this place... ::slowly sits::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Looks up, putting her chin back on her knees.::  CO:  I am torn about returning period.  This has got to have been the longest, hardest vacation of my life.  Yet to go back to the ship...  ::Sighs::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::stretches her arms behind to lean back.::  CO:  I know...

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: What, was it like, to feel the power... 

OPS_Regnum says:
@::picks up the chip and exits his quarters heading for the holodeck::

CTO_Peters says:
::Walks back into their room:: Alicia:  Come on honey!  Time for lunch. You still want one more lunch here before we go back to the ship right?  ::Loads the bags by the door to be beamed up to the Artemis::

CMO_Mae`e says:
CO:  Have you heard what our next assignment is?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: Not yet.  I would imagine after our last success Starfleet will have something challenging for us.

Host T`Lok says:
@<Artemis OPS> *CO* : Ma'am... We have an incoming transmission from Admiral T'Lok...

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CTO:  Awwwww Mommy!  ::She runs back into the main room with a pout on her face.:: I wanna stay here and we can make K'Tor stay too! And we can swim everyday!!

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Grins at the irony:: CMO: Speak of the devil...

CMO_Mae`e says:
CO:  Good, I think I could use something challanging.  When do we go back?

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Pauses and looks at her, waiting to hear what it is.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: As I said, disconcerting.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks fondly on her daughter's face.::  Alicia:  I'm sorry honey we have to go back.  The Capt will get really mad if I don't go back.  You understand that I have a job to do right.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CMO: looks like soon...  *Artemis OPS* Put him through on my comm ensign.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CTO:  Yeah but you can do your job here?

OPS_Regnum says:
@::enters the vacant holodeck and inserts the chip into the wall to load the program into a holomatrix:: Computer: Load holographic imaging parameters Regnum-47 and upload personality and memory file into holomatrix.

Host T`Lok says:
@<Artemis OPS>*CO* : Afraid I can't ma'am.. It's a coded transmission.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: What do you think this device is capable of?

CTO_Peters says:
Alicia:  No honey, there is not many bad guys in paradise.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: I would think similar to others, though at a greater level.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Pouts some more and looks to the ground sadly::  CTO:  Ok Mommy...::Looks up hopefully::  Do you think I could play with K'Tor when we go back?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Surprised:: *Artemis OPS* Acknowledged, I will be returning to the ship immediately.  ::looks down at La'i:: CMO: Looks like I have to go.  Are you packed?  We could return together if your ready.
OPS_Regnum says:
<HoloGlitch> @::appears in the holodeck in his new form:: OPS: What? What am I doing in the holodeck... ::looks down at his form:: What am I BEING in the holodeck?

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles a bit.::  Alicia: Well honey, you could ask him but remember Vulcan's are not known for their playfulness.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Greater level?  You think this particular device is more powerful?

Host T`Lok says:
@<Artemis OPS> *CO* : I can beam you directly to the bridge, ma'am, if you wish

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Giggles::  CTO:  Oh mommy you are so silly!!! K'Tor is really fun to play with.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Perhaps, or it could just be more recent than the others previously discovered.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Nods::  CO:  I guess I might as well get it over with.  My things are packed in the hotel.  ::Stands and begins to dust the sand off of her.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
*ArtemisOPS* Make it so, however, Doctor Mae'e will be returning as well, have her beamed to the transporter room...oh and don't forget my luggage, it's the object nearby ensign...

OPS_Regnum says:
@Glitch: I can't have you following me around anymore old friend, I need to start moving on, I'm converting your program to a hologram, you'll still be able to enter your spherical form from time to time after I get done rebuilding it, but I think that talking to you hear in the holodeck will be what is best for me, I need to start letting go of my pain and making "real" friends.

OPS_Regnum says:
<HoloGlitch> @OPS: Well about bloody time

Host T`Lok says:
@<Artemis OPS> *CO* : Aye ma'am.. Standby for transport....

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> ::ponders that for a moment:: CSO: Fascinating...to think at a time not so long ago our people were so savage, completely controlled by their emotion.  Do you think that logic can hold out in the face of such power?

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at the chronometer and sighs::  Alice:  Oh honey I have to go back... ::Disappoint impossible to get out of her voice.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: It has for this long, and I think it will continue to do so.

OPS_Regnum says:
@::nods to glitch:: Computer: save new hologram as file Glitch and end program.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Looks sadly at her mother.::  CTO:  Ok Mommy....I guess we have to ::Walks over and takes her mother's hand.::

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : The Captain and the doctor are beamed to their respective locations

OPS_Regnum says:
<HoloGlitch> @::Vanishes as he is saved in memory::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Waves to Tl'ick::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral>  ::nods:: CSO: Where is the device now?

OPS_Regnum says:
@::takes out the isolinear chip containing glitch's original programming and returns to his quarters, he stores the chip in a drawer and then heads to the bridge::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Sighs as her friend vanishes in the shimmer of the transporter.::  CO:  I wish I could bring him with us.

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: It would probably be at the K'Trel University.

CMO_Mae`e says:
<Delete question to captain, leave rest.>

CTO_Peters says:
::Slowly she taps her combadge.::  COM:Artemis: Artemis this is Lt Peters, two to beam up.

Host T`Lok says:
@<Artemis OPS> *CTO* : Alright Lt... Stand by for Transport.

OPS_Regnum says:
@::Enters the bridge and relieves the duty OPS officer::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Looks around at the skeleton crew on the bridge, turns on her heels and marches into the ready room.:: Computer!  Seal doors.  Open encrypted communiqué authorization Farrel 91 Delta Charlie.  ::She walks around the desk, adjusts her combadge nervously, and takes a seat in front of the screen::

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : Before being relieved, the OPS officer transports the CTO and her daughter aboard

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Picks up the captain’s luggage::  Transporter chief:  Have this seen to the captain’s quarters and please beam mine aboard.  ::Gives the coordinates.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Is your father still involved with the project?  

CTO_Peters says:
::Materializes on board with Alicia still holding her had.  Her bags beside her. Letting go of Alicia's hand she picks up the bags.:: Alicia:  Ok hon., lets get home.  ::With Alicia ahead of her, the exit the transporter room.::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Yes, he's studying the artifacts recovered. As I haven't heard otherwise, I assume the resonator is included.

OPS_Regnum says:
::begins checking over reports done during his absence::

CSO_KTor says:
Soral: Now, I'm afraid I don't have much longer to talk. I need to get back to the Artemis.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Watches the tactical officer walk by with her daughter.::

Host T`Lok says:
<TR Chief> ::nods, and does as requested::

CTO_Peters says:
::She stops and turns::  CMO:  I'm sorry doctor I was just not paying attention.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Her luggage coming up next, she steps up to the padd and picks it up, swinging the duffle bag over her shoulder.::

CSO_KTor says:
<@>

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: I see.  Your father is a dedicated scientist, I met him once at an archeological conference on Vulcan, years ago.  

CMO_Mae`e says:
::With a grunt, turns around and gives a weak smile::  CTO:  It is OK, understandable.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CMO:  Hay Doc... ::Grins::  You are still the nicest doctor.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Looks down at the child and her smile becomes real::  Alicia:  Thank you.

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : T'Lok's face appears on the Captain's table screen

Host CO_Farrel says:
<Soral> CSO: Yes, as do I.  I shall return with you then.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CMO:  Do you like to play?  I have lots of tea parties...

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : Captain Farrel... ::nods slightly::

CSO_KTor says:
@Soral: I look forward to our meeting.

CTO_Peters says:
::Turns slightly red.::  CMO:  I'm sorry Ma'am.. She is just impetuous.. I have to admit it's cute at this age..but can put people in a tight spot.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Curious::  Alicia:  Play?  ::Looks questioningly at the CTO::

CMO_Mae`e says:
CTO:  There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: Admiral...

CTO_Peters says:
CMO:  She wants you to have a tea party with her and her dolls along with some teddy bears.  ::Giggles::

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : I hope you and your crew enjoyed your stay on Pacifica?

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Tilts her head and looks at the child::  Alicia:  What is a teddy bear?

Host CO_Farrel says:
@CSO: As do I.  Your accomplishments precede you Lt, It is good to have a kindred intellect aboard.  I look forward to our next meeting.

Host CO_Farrel says:
<<Edit last line from Soral>>

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Slowly they make it to the turbolift.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: Yes sir.  We are refreshed and looking forward to returning to duty.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia>::From behind her back she pulls out a brown bear with an eye hanging down.::  CMO:  This is Beauregard... he has a booboo in his eye... ::looks thoughtfully at the doctor.::  Can you hopper...opppperate on him?  Make him better?  ::Looks hopefully.::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Takes the bear and looks it over curiously::

CSO_KTor says:
@::Raises one hand and makes the V sign:: Soral: Dif'Tor Heh Smu'Sma, Soral.

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : Yes... Well, I’m afraid that duty will have to wait... I have something to show you.... ::moves to tap a button on his console::

CMO_Mae`e says:
Alicia:  Hmmm... I think I can manage that.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia>  ::looks at the doctor with all the trust of a five year old.::

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Hugs the doctors legs.::  CMO:  Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : Farrel's screen switches to that of a detailed report on a communication picked up by a deep space probe near the edge of the galaxy

Host CO_Farrel says:
@<Soral> ::Raises hand and gives the customary response.::

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : The message is relatively straightforward, it looks like an automated distress call. Federation frequency.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Smiles and lightly lays a hand on the child’s head::  Alicia:  I will bring him for... your tea party.  What time will it be?

CTO_Peters says:
::Can't help but think that the Doctor needed that hug right now.::

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : What catches Farrel's eye is the identification of the Ship that originated that distress call. NCC 83093 - USS Artemis

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: Interesting...A Federation signal, from the edge of the galaxy...NCC 830 - ::Stops to catch her breath:: 93...USS, Artemis...

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> ::Her face beams and looks up at her new friend with a mile wide smile.::  CMO:  Ummmmmm....how about ummmm afternoon tea?  Auntie Stephie says its at ummm ::Scrunches up her face:: 3 hoclock.

Host T`Lok says:
ACTION : Farrel's screen turns back to the face of T'Lok

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Looks at the CTO::  CTO:  O'threehundred hour?

CSO_KTor says:
@::Once Soral leaves, he carefully packs away a last few items:: *Artemis OPS*: K'Tor to Artemis, one plus luggage to beam up.

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles:: CMO:  1500 hrs Ma'am.

Host T`Lok says:
#::studies Farrel's reaction to that data::

OPS_Regnum says:
*CSO* Acknowledged Lieutenant, ::beams up the CSO and associated luggage::

CMO_Mae`e says:
CTO:  Ahhh...  ::Looks down::  Alicia:  I believe I can make that.  But no promises.  If an emergency comes in, they must take priority.  OK?

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CMO: Em..gency?  What is that?

CMO_Mae`e says:
CTO:  That is when somebody is feeling very very bad and needs my help.

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia> CMO:  Like Beauregard?

Host CO_Farrel says:
@<Soral>  ::walks the hallway of the hotel.  Suddenly a man bursts out the elevator and pounds on one of the suits.  He looks down to the floor in concealed amusement.  That was Hali's room.  Humanoid love...so distressingly illogical.  Hmph.::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Smiles::  Alicia:  Similar, but much worse.  ::Steps into the turbolift.::

CSO_KTor says:
@::Picks up his suitcases and heads down the hallway to the turbolift, then to his quarters where he begins unpacking::

CTO_Peters says:
<Alicia>  CMO:  Ok,  Bye!! ::Waves::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks alarmed, but is determined to figure this all out, her eyes meet the Admiral's::

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Nods her head as the doors close::  Computer, deck two.

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : I know what you are wondering Captain.. But I assure you this is no fake. The message was authenticated.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::As the TL moves, she looks curiously at the toy.::  Well Beauregard.  Looks like you will be my first patient back.  ::Slips through the doors and heads for her quarters::

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: So somehow, the Artemis from the future is going to face some kind of catastrophe and is going to end up on the edge of the galaxy

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : Captain.. We have no idea what this message means... But we do want you to investigate.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Pauses at the doors to her quarters, then with a sigh, enters, only to stop and stare at the room her husband and she had shared for far too short a time.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: I am certainly curious as well.  it's not everyday you receive a distress call from yourself.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::On the couch was a large stuffed toy, larger then she.  Putting down her luggage with Beauregard on top, she moves to examine it, finding a letter on top.::

Host T`Lok says:
#::nods:: CO : Indeed. ::again taps a few buttons on his screen:: I'm sending you all the information I have on the estimated source of the signal. No need to tell you that this mission will take you a long time to get there, and a long time to get back.

CMO_Mae`e says:
::Opening the old fashion letter, her eyes scan it before reading the love letter from her husband.  Taking the large toy, she curled up with it on the couch and let the tears flow one last time.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: The edge of the galaxy...have any of our ships explored the region we will be entering?  

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : No. You will be the first vessel to travel that way.

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : We need answers on this Captain... I expect regular reports through that probe. It has a built-in subspace amplifier, so you should be able to reach the Starfleet net.

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM:  It will be a truly unique opportunity for exploration then...  not many ships have passed outside our galaxy.

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: Aye Admiral, you will be kept promptly apprised.

Host T`Lok says:
#::frowns slightly:: CO : Captain Farrel. You know about the dangers of trying to go outside our galaxy. I hope I won't have to remind you that trying such a feat is extremely dangerous.. So don't even think about it.

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM:  And what if we discover the fate of the temporal directive is at stake?

Host T`Lok says:
#CO : You will do everything in your power to enforce it. I don't want to have to call Temporal Investigations to your ship captain...

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: I will do my best to ensure there is no or little contamination to the timeline, sir.

Host T`Lok says:
#::looks away from the screen:: CO : Captain... You have your orders... I must attend other issues. Remember.. Regular reports. T'Lok out.

Host CO_Farrel says:
ADM: Yes Admiral ::Nods respectfully as his face is replaced by the UFP logo.  She sighs and sits back.  she had a feeling their next mission would be challenging.:: What does the future have in store...

Host T`Lok says:
All depends on how it evolves...
