"Out of The Darkness..."

Episode 5:  "Baaad, Baaad, Baaad, BAD Vibrations..."

Summary:
 
The negative energy being that had been hunting station residents has been contained.

The power fields have stabilized in the last hour, and the power fluctuations have stopped.  

The trap has worked.

As the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man once asked, Now what, Dorothy?
 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Sitting at the flight control console in Main Operations, drumming her fingers on the console as no traffic is being allowed in or out of the station::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::monitors power levels in the Holosuite, making sure the force field holds and the power signature rotations keep rotating::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::standing in front of the holodeck watching::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::returning to Main Operations to supervise the whole situation::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@OPS:  We've been ordered back to the station.  Take us in to dock.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Report!

ACTION:  The Creature is clearly agitated and is throwing itself at the containment field barriers...

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::nods:: CIV: Aye Captain

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
:: In main OPS, waiting for all departments to report on their efforts to communicate with the entity, and if anyone has figured out how to return it to where it came::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: The force field is holding, but our guest is mighty angry.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::maneuvers the Scorpius back to Birth::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::walks over to the console where the CEO is working::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Keep the harmonics at constant variations. Making a mistake is not an option now. Marek out ::hurries::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over at the SC:: SC: The Scorpius is returning to base, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: Already on that, sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  You sure that is going to hold that thing?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CNS*: Any progress in your evaluation? Do you consider it viable to stablish a communication with the being?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, with all due respect, you don't know me very well, do you... ma'am?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::Enters Main Operations:: FCO: Acknowledged, Benson.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  I know you well enough, Commander ... but I don't know that ::guestures towards the creature::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: Any news on our unexpected visitors from the Freighter?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Point taken, but that thing will hold.  If not, I'll make you a pot of my mother's best chili.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Negative, Sir.  I expect the Commander of the Scorpius will file a report shortly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: ...guaranteed to keep you warm in the coldest of Minnesota winters.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CEO:  Sounds intriguing, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*ALL department heads* This is Commander Mahl.  Report on your progess so far.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Well that whole situation was fun

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::reaches the central console:: FCO: I look forward to it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*XO*: Masters here.  Force field is holding.  Harmonics rotating.  Captain is doing her thing.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Cmdr., seems we have made a little progress

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: lifts her eyebrow :: OPS:  Indeed.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Turns to the SC:: SC: I am receiving the progress reports now from the department heads. But yes, so far, it seems that progress is being made, even if it is slow.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ *SC* Captain, the Scorpius is docking and we will be bringing the freighter and those who were on it to the station.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::has the feeling that something is about to go horribly wrong ... as it usually does::

ACTION:  The being starts to quiet down and simply glares out of yellowish-red glowing eyes at anyone it can see.  So far, it has said nothing.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CIV*: Good job, Captain. I look forward to read your report.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: It's settling, ma'am.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS: How long until we dock?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Horn to OPS

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Go ahead, Captain

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Looks like our "guest" is quieting down.  I would suggest an attempt to make contact

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Very well. I fully agree. However, I advice we maintain our alert status, until we finally make contact with the being.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::reaches out to see if he can contact the being psionically::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  Agreed.  I'd like Captain Serok to be here when we make the attempt ... she's a first contact specialist and I think this situation qualifies.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CEO* Very good.  Inform us if there is any change, regardless of how slight.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Let's proceed that way. I will return to the holodeck to join you and the Captain Serok. Meet you there. Marek out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*XO*: Yes, sir, but the being is settled down now.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::heads to the TL:: XO: You got Main Operations, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Understood, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, I'm attempting to see if I can reach our guest psychically in any way.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
XO: Sir, flight control remains in lockdown status.  No traffic in or out and all is quiet....Oh and the Scorpius has docked, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
FCO: Very good.  Let's hope we can lift the lockdown soon.  Without the ability to dock ships, we are a worthless piece of space debris.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::attempts to complete docking procedures::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Horn to Captain Serok.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ *CO* Serok here, Captain.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::exits the TL and heads once again to the Holodeck::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Continues drumming her fingers on the flight control console as she watches the monitor::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Once you dock, please meet the SC and myself at the holodeck.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ *CO* Acknowledged Captain.

ACTION:  The Scorpius has re-docked with Deep Space 102

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, I'm getting something... something  ::winces:: ouch!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Commander?

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Moorings secured::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: It "punched" me, captain.  It doesn't like me very well.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::Arrives to the CO's location:: CO: ::nods::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Captain...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Creature: I apologize, but we had to keep you from killing more of the station's inhabitants.  Now, who are you?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::pays attention to the CEO's words::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  I think Commander Masters has made some sort of contact with our friend in there

ACTION:  The CEO grabs his head and screams in pain and falls to his knees...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All:  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Commander!

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@OPS:  Thank you Ensign.  Please make certain that the Scorpius is cleared before you leave.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: The pain... The PAIN!!!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Get medical down here now!

ACTION: the alien, who simply snorts and leers now, releases the CEO.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::passes out::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*Sickbay*: Send down a medical team to Holodeck on the double!!!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::kneels next to the CEO and takes his pulse::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: exits the Scorpius and heads for the holodeck ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::eyes flutter:: All: Did anyone get the number of that starship that ran over me?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Well, judging for your reaction it was a Galaxy class, Commander, but you survived. ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Gee, thanks, captain.  That guy packs quite a whollop.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  How do you feel?

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::performs various tasks to secure the Scorpius::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: arrives at the holodeck ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Like the Enterprise-D ran me over, and Ambassador Worf danced all over my head, and Commander Data gave me a swift right cross on top of that...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  Ahh, just in time, Captain.  Meet our guest.  ::gestures towards the holodeck::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Please remain calm until you get medical attention.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*Sickbay*: Where is that team??

CNS_Rand says:
::feels her legs cramping and stirs, realizing that she fell asleep while she was meditating::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I'm sure an aspirin might fix me up good enough to continue, sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV: Apparently he packs quite a punch... ::looks over at the CEO::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: looks at the CEO and back at the CO :: CO:  With all due respect Captain, if that is the result, :: points to the CEO ::   I'd rather not.

CNS_Rand says:
::pulls herself to her feet and walks out the cramp, then quickly heads back to the holodeck::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV:  We need to communicate with it, somehow...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CIV: Captain, you might have better luck than I.  It hates me because I trapped it.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: Captain.. This only proves that we need to figure out the correct method to communicate with the being. There is when your skills are needed.

CNS_Rand says:
::shakes her head:: Self: They were going to try to communicate with that creature...

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CO:  How was it that Commander Masters was attempting to communicate with it?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Wonders what the Scorpius crew would think if she let them know that the Station Commander, Chief Engineer, Chief of Medical and Chief Science Officer were from an alternate reality::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CIV: I'm part Betazoid.

CNS_Rand says:
::leaves the lift and walks quickly over to the assembled group around the holodeck:: SC: Aye sir, everything is fine. I'm sorry I'm late.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
CEO:  Then telepathic communication may not be a safe way to communicate with it.  We will have to find another way.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CIV/CEO:  How?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV/CNS: How about a scientific approach? I mean, maybe through some sort of positive -negative ions pattern? Like the old Morse code?

CNS_Rand says:
All: It is extremely angry and full of hate.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Is it angry with us, or at all life in general?

CNS_Rand says:
CO: It is angry with us for imprisoning it.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS/CIV:  We need to let it know we are attempting to send it home.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Probably most at me.

CNS_Rand says:
CO: He's lashing out, Captain.  I can feel it...I'm having to fight it.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
SC:  Perhaps we can configure the universal translator to pickup negative ions.

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: Yes, he knows you are the one that trapped him.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CNS: It is a plausible solution. CEO: Commander? Is that possible?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I can probably rig a tricorder to do that.

CNS_Rand says:
::feels the pressure on her mind that from where the creature is lashing out:: SC: Agreed.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: taps her com badge :: *OPS* Ensign, can  you program the universal translator to pick up negative ions?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Let's do it.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CIV: Captain, let's put OPS and CEO to work on it.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  In the meantime we need to work on a way to get this thing back to where it belongs...

CNS_Rand says:
::watches the creature within the confinement and how he is moving about::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
SC:  I am contacting Ensign Chambers as we speak Captain.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Well, but first we need to know who or what is that being, therefore we will be able to know where to send him back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::takes a tricorder and makes the necessary modifications::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  I think I might know something here ... remember the distortions that were affecting the Station when we arrived?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Please, go on

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: I'm ready.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  If our initial scans are correct, this being's composition is identical to the make up of the distortions ... It stands to reason...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::turns for a second to the CEO: CEO: Please proceed

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::enters in "Hello" into the tricorder::

ACTION:  The modifications are successful...

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
ALL:  Let me go, meat...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::replies:: "We mean you no harm.  Why are you killing our people?"

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Well, it is a logical deduction. But, remember we are on the threshold of a first contact situation here, so we shouldn't waste any opportunity to know more about this being before letting it go.

CNS_Rand says:
All: I don't think anything other than freedom will satisfy him

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::walks up to the force field:: Creature:  I am Captain AQilla Horn.  Who are you?

CNS_Rand says:
All: We are what he considers meat.  

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  I think I understood that, Counselor.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::enters station Operations::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: He's a hunter, and we're his prey.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CO:  Let me go and you'll find out, meat.  ::charges the CO but is contained by the forcefield::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::stands waiting anxiously for the being's answer::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::reaches for the nunchuckus in the waistband of his trousers::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::doesn't flinch:: Creature:  I don't think so.  We want to send you home, but I can't have you hunting any more of the crew

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: Exactly...but those won't help you

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Well, right now the hunter became the prey... And let's hope we can keep it that way

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO/SC: Captain Marek, Captain Horn, permission to have the computer beam in my bat'leth, just in case?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  I have one question, Commander.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow at the CEO and sees that her skills are not required here and heads to station operations ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
SC: Negative. Just ask for a discreet surveillance team. And have commander Mahl maintain a constant transporter signal on all of us.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Exactly what affect would a bat'leth have on a gaseous creature with no physical mass?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Good point, ma'am.  SC: Will do.  ::types in a request for a security team:: 
*XO* Commander, we need a static lock on the senior staff in this room.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CO:  You're too thin and green anyway.  But I like the ridged-headed one.  His blood is pink.  I can smell it.  Not too bright though.  It wouldn't be a very long hunt.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CEO* It is in place already.  It has been a standing order for anyone getting near that entity.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Bx`kt`lk`t: Not too bright?  ::starts to seethe::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the creature:: Bx`kt`lk`t:  There will be no hunt.  I'm curious ... why do you hunt us?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: Easy Commander.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CEO:  You think you are a hunter.  And though you've had temporary success...I'll dine on you yet, pink-blood.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: enters the turbo lift :: Computer:  operations.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: It's too bad he's not a solid creature, because I'd tear him limb from limb.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CO:  Why is the *skreeeet* before the *squaaaak*?  It is who I am.  And who are you, green-blood?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CEO: I know you would, Commander. Although, doing so wouldn't be logical at all. Please, control your Klingon temperament.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
Bx`kt`lk`t:  I am who I am.  ::decides to play the same game::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::starts to slow his breathing, his Betazoid training coming in:: SC: Yes sir.  Of course, he might think I'm a bit sour for his taste anyway.  I'm also part human and part Betazoid.

ACTION:  A riot has begun in the brig area of the station...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Bx`kt`lk`t: And that makes me who I am.  I am a hunter, a thinker, a tinkerer, a counselor.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: exits the lift into station operations and takes a seat at an empty console ::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
Bx`kt`lk`t::  I had little choice ... we would not have harmed you but you have killed 3 of my people.  This I cannot allow to happen.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CO:  I doubt that.  "[Deity concept]" is not green-blooded.  He is none blooded likely.  What position do you hold here that others answer to you?

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: Welcome to station ops, Captain.  What’s going on down at the holodeck?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
Bx`kt`lk`t:  Before I answer any of your questions you will answer mine.  ::turns her back on the creature::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over and See’s the CIV enter Main Operations::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sees CO turn her back to the creature, keeps a keen eye on Bx`kt`lk`t::

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CEO:  You are a laughable meal, nothing more.  Your tinkering has caged me for now, but your hunting skills I doubt and your thinking I see for myself.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
XO:  Thank you Commander.  The Captain, Captain Marek and Mister Masters are speaking with the entity.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::thinks:: This is certain a stubborn and violent creature... Fascinating!

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
CO:  Your people?  They were not green-bloods...

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: It does no good to argue with him, he's extremely strong.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CIV: So they did find a way to communicate with it?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Listens to the report from the CIV and thinks: I hope that creature has Klingon ala carte for dinner!::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: I know, but it's fun.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::ignores Bx`kt`lk`t for the moment::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
:: sees the alert from the brig :; XO;  Commander there is something going on in the brig.  And yes, they found a way to communicate with it.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
::paces around the cage assessing the weaknesses::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
Bx`kt`lk`t: So you come from a race of hunters... Where is your home??

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: And if he weren’t in that cage, he would make all of his threats truths.

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
SC:  Nowhere near here...that is clear.  

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: It isn't safe to play with fire.  

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
XO:  I can have a security team meet me there is you wish Commander.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
Bx`kt`lk`t: I see that.. Exactly how far?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Let's see if we can find the fire extinguisher.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* Captain, what’s going on down there?  Do you need assistance?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns:: Bx`kt`lk`t: Why did your kind attack this station in the first place?

Bx`kt`lk`t says:
SC:  I am not certain.  What I think is not so much as how far but a dimensional shift.  CO:  I was hunting on my own plane.  I do not know where your station came from.  I was elsewhere before here though.  I dined well.
