Host ACTD_Greg says:
A giant entity has surrounded the station, as soon as the entity appeared several crewmembers disappeared, including the CO

Host ACTD_Greg says:
This entity is also keeping any ships from coming near the station, such as the one the JAG team is currently on

Host ACTD_Greg says:
You must figure out a way to communicate and deal with this entity, which only speaks to you at this point

Host ACTD_Greg says:

OPSJohnson says:
XO:aye,sir::opens a channel::

Host Entity says:
ACTION: Channel closes

CEO_Resla says:
XO: shields and sensor are at 98%, and we can give you more power if needed

TO_Torek says:
XO: that sounded like a threat, I suggest taking a more defensive posture!

CIV_Hunter says:
:: Walks over to the XO :: XO: Reporting as requested.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
ALL: Lets get some answers people

CMO-Kriss says:
*Acknowledged*

OPSJohnson says:
TO:try to get a probe threw it

Host XO_Cerdan says:
TO: Prep a class 1 probe

EO_MacLeod says:
::notices offensive systems powering up to stand-by::

CMO-Kriss says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads to turbolift closest on deck 5.

TO_Torek says:
::sets up a class 1 probe::  XO: almost ready

*EO* ::looks at conole:: Angus, It looks like the number three generator is runnig a little hot, can you check it out

CMO-Kriss says:
::enters tubolift:: Bridge.

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  I'm on it.

EO_MacLeod says:
::brings up gen. stats::

CMO-Kriss says:
::exits turbolift to bridge::

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: I think we can  communicate with it by launching a communications beacon directly into the entity

TO_Torek says:
::loads probe into torpedo bay:: XO: ready sir

CMO-Kriss says:
XO: reporting as ordered.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CIV; Can you define it's composition?

OPSJohnson says:
XO:that might work

EO_MacLeod says:
::engages secondary cooling to generator three::

CNS_McCowell says:
:: exits office towards bridge ::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CMO: I would like you to try your telepathic abilities

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: Well sir its bigger then the station.

CNS_McCowell says:
:: enters TL :: TL: Bridge

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CMO: It appears to be a LIFE FORM

TO_Torek says:
::sets shields to rotate frequencies constantly and does the same to the phasers::

CMO-Kriss says:
XO: As you know I am not a typical Betezed.  I can hear thoughts when I concentrate.  Let me try.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CMO: Do what you can

EO_MacLeod says:
::sets defense and offensive systems to #1 priority for power allocation::

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: it's made up of energy and some sort of solid that gives it a shape, but it can easily get bigger, smaller, and change shapes and physical states

CMO-Kriss says:
::Stands still and concentrates on the outside Entity::

TO_Torek says:
::wonders if the XO plans to use the probe, waits his order::   XO: I am unable to determine if our weapons will have any affect on it, though I hope we don't have to find out.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CIV: Thank you Mr. Hunter.TO:Acknowledged.

CNS_McCowell says:
::walks onto bridge::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* :  Benar, #3 generator temperature is nominal.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
TO: Stand by probe

CEO_Resla says:
*EO* ::taps on console more:: Understood, it looks like the transporters were drawing too much power from it..

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: Anytime sir.

TO_Torek says:
XO: awaiting your order sir

CMO-Kriss says:
XO: It is studying what we are doing.

CNS_McCowell says:
::sits in chair:: 

OPSJohnson says:
OPS:well we could wait till it leaves

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO*: Should I lock the transporters down?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: I want a way to communicate with the outside

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: What can I do?

OPSJohnson says:
XO:we have to ask the entity

CEO_Resla says:
*EO* it woulndt be a bad idea until we get time to fix them...

CIV_Hunter says:
:: goes over the information on the entity ::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Understood.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CMO: LT. Can you sense anything?

OPSJohnson says:
XO:or we can blast a communiction probe threw it

EO_MacLeod says:
::Takes station transporter grid off line, activated diagnostic mode::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: Get a comm bouy ready

OPSJohnson says:
XO:yes ,sir

OPSJohnson says:
::ready's a comm bouy:

TO_Torek says:
::watches as transport grid goes off-line::  *EO*: must that be done down....we are in the middle of a possible crisis?!

OPSJohnson says:
XO:bouy ready,sir

CEO_Resla says:
to: ::looks over to TO:: it is drawing to much power form more crititcal systems

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: Sir I'm getting alot of information on this entity nothing of interest as of yet I'll let you know if I find anything of interest.

EO_MacLeod says:
*TO*:  Transporters are down for abnormal power draw.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
*CNS*: To the bridge Ensign::Turns to Mr. Hunter::Keep trying.

CMO-Kriss says:
XO:  It is studying  us and those crew members that are missing.  It has them but they are not dead.  They are in a suspended state.

CNS_McCowell says:
*XO*: Yes sir?

TO_Torek says:
::chuckles at the thought how a huge station still has power shortages, doubts those measures will be warranted::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: Launch a Comm bouy with our current status.

OPSJohnson says:
XO:yes,sir

OPSJohnson says:
::Launches the Comm Bouy::

TO_Torek says:
::wonders if the probe has cobwebs growing on it yet, hummms softly::

Host Entity says:
ACTION: The entity absorbs the comm bouy

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: Has it penetrated the entity?

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: What can I do?

CMO-Kriss says:
XO:  It is gathering information on our crew, that is all I can make out as of now.

OPSJohnson says:
XO:it's being absorbed

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CNS: Stand by Ensign ,we may need your expertise

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: Yes sir. 

Host XO_Cerdan says:
TO: Launch class 1  Probe

CMO-Kriss says:
XO:It is playing Tic-Tac-Toe while it is collecting info.

TO_Torek says:
::taps on panel and listens to a barrage of beeps indicate the launch of the probe::

OPSJohnson says:
::opens link via Bouy::

EO_MacLeod says:
::additional coolant to #3 gen. cancelled, generator nominal:: 

Host Entity says:
ACTION: The probe is absorbed by the entity

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: Any feed back?

TO_Torek says:
XO: the probe was absorbed, just like the bouy

OPSJohnson says:
OPS:probe has been absorbed

Host Entity says:
COMM: Avalon: That kinda hurt, yet felt strange at the same time

Host Entity says:
COMM: Avalon: It sorta tickled

OPSJohnson says:
::trys to open a comm link threw the Probe and the Bouy::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
COMM: Entity:: Where are our Crewmates?

Host Entity says:
COMM: XO: I'm studying them, where are my crewmates?

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: I don't believe it is purposely malevolent

OPSJohnson says:
self:his crewmates?????

TO_Torek says:
::wonders what the Entity is talking about::

FCO_Letty says:
XO: Sir, how about sending someone out to in a lifesupport suit to explore it or the outer part of it?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
COMM: Entity: The Life forms you removed from this station

EO_MacLeod says:
::slaves sensors to secondary console, to see what's going on::

Host Entity says:
COMM: XO: Right, I'm studying them, what did you think I was talking about silly

OPSJohnson says:
XO:may i communicate with the entity

TO_Torek says:
::wonders if the FCO wishes to volunteer, most illogical::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
OPS: This may be more to the CNS,field

OPSJohnson says:
XO:okay

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CNS: Would you like to try?

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: sure. 

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: I'm picking up faint life signs I think its the missing crew members.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CNS: See if you can get them back.::Nods to Mr. Hunter::

CNS_McCowell says:
XO: But we can't talk through the COMM system!

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CIV: Keep trying to get a lock on them

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: I'll try sir.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CNS: Just speak it seems to hear us just fine

TO_Torek says:
XO: what about setting up a dampning field in an attempt to get our crew back....it will drain the energy from the entity, though it would probably kill it as well?!

CNS_McCowell says:
Entity: Why have you taken our crewmembers?

EO_MacLeod says:
::looks at sensor display.  notices the similarity in the physical appearance of the entity to his haggis recipe::

OPSJohnson says:
XO:I have to say no to the TO suggestion

Host XO_Cerdan says:
TO: This is a first contact ,we don't want to be hasty

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: To study them, why have you taken my crewmembers?

CIV_Hunter says:
:: taps a few keys on the consel :: Self: I should have justed Star Fleet...

TO_Torek says:
XO: noted....just a last resort suggestion ::frowns at OPS's remark::

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: What do you mean, your crewmembers?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
::Motions for OPS to close channel::

FCO_Letty says:
XO: Sir, how about sending someone out to greet it.

OPSJohnson says:
::closes channel::

Host Entity says:
COMM: ::giggles::

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: What do you mean, your crewmembers?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
ALL: It says we have it's crew also

Host XO_Cerdan says:
ALL: Any ideas?

TO_Torek says:
::wonders if sending a box of candy into the entity will coax it into giving our crew back....chuckles at the thought::

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: Our crewmembers are others like us. Are there more like you?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
::LOOKs around at crew:: OPS: Open channel again

OPSJohnson says:
::opens channel::

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: Yup

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: How did we take them?

CEO_Resla says:
XO: why dont you ask it?

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: How did we take them?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CEO: She just did

CMO-Kriss says:
::still concentrating::

FCO_Letty says:
XO: We could scan for alein entities onboard the station.

Host XO_Cerdan says:
FCO: Make it so

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: mass amount of energy come from the entity is making it too hard to pin point our missing crew.

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: Will you return our crewmembers  to us?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CIV: Understood ,keep trying

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: When I'm done studying them

FCO_Letty says:
::scans for alein entities onboard the Station::

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: Will your return our crewmembers to us?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
FCO: Look for silcone base substances

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: Aye sir :: taps a few more keys :: Self: #&^%#

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: Why do you want to study them? We don't know where your crewmembers are.

FCO_Letty says:
::scans for silicon based substances::

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CMO: Anything?

FCO_Letty says:
XO:  If there anywhere, they aren't here.

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: I want to know more about them.

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: We don't know where your crewmembers are.

TO_Torek says:
::picks up the CNS's remark....hmmmmm::

EO_MacLeod says:
::stands up to stretch legs::

CMO-Kriss says:
XO: It doesn't understand why we don't return it's crew.

TO_Torek says:
XO: it sounds like it's repeating everything we say to it...it hasn't said anything that we haven't previously said

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CEO: See if you can find a way to get a transporter lock on them

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: How about trying to take a shuttle craft into the entity?

Host Entity says:
ACTION: The Reactor core suddenly begins to overload

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: Could we work out a compromise? You return our crewmembers, we give you some information.

CEO_Resla says:
XO: Aye, sir

OPSJohnson says:
::thinks this thing is playing child pranks with us::

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: You can't get the kind of information I want

TO_Torek says:
XO: perhaps we should say something strange and see if the entity repeats it.......

CIV_Hunter says:
:: Start taping at keys on his consel ::

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: The compromise is I'll return them when I'm done studying them

TO_Torek says:
XO: guess not ::goes back to thinking::

CMO-Kriss says:
XO: it doesn't want to harm our crew, just study them because we are different than itself.

EO_MacLeod says:
::gets diagnotics from transports systems, shows nominal, returns transports to on line status::

CNS_McCowell says:
COMM: Entity: Okay, what kind of information do you want?

Host XO_Cerdan says:
CEO: Belay that ,you may be needed in ME

CIV_Hunter says:
XO: Reactor  core over load

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* : Benar, transporter systems show green, I'm putting them back on line

CIV_Hunter says:

Host XO_Cerdan says:
*Brdge to ENG*: Whats going on down there?

CEO_Resla says:
*EO* understood, match power generator though, it might just happen to overload.....

EO_MacLeod says:
*XO*  What do you mean sir.

Host Entity says:
COMM: CNS: I want special kind of information

CIV_Hunter says:
:: taps a few more keys :: XO: Sir what should I do!!

OPSJohnson says:
