Deep Space 102 – 10712.01
 
"To Soothe the Savage Beast" 
Episode 3: 
Previously on Deep Space 102: 

Host Gerry says:
A former foe of the Scorpius was brought back through what appears to be a stabilizing wormhole from the Delta Quadrant in grave medical condition, shocking for the foe, who displayed nearly limitless power.  He has warned that a race he has called the Avatars have learned how to create stable wormholes and have done so with the intent to return to the Alpha quadrant and re-establish dominance.  Dy'ybylys and his brother By'yl attempted to stop them, largely, he has said, to protect his unborn child, currently carried by the CNS.  In the ensuing battle, By'yl was killed and Dy'ybylys himself was left for dead.  Dy'ybylys remains in grave condition, though his body is attempting automatically to heal itself.  At present, he is unconscious.  Analysis on the wormhole, some of the wreckage returned from the battle in the delta quadrant, and other things continues.

::Finishes organizing the cart and wheels it back to the storage area::
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Monitors the communication channels::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  All this ... the Dy'ybylys thing.  What if he's telling the truth.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: It's hard for me to formulate an opinion about him, since I wasn't here when you last saw him.
MO_Garta says:
::downloads the results into a PADD::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  I'm going to release the files to yourself, Captain Marek and Commander Horn...
XO_Mahl says:
CO: That would be a help, indeed.  
XO_Mahl says:
CO: From the little bit of information that I have heard, he turned out to be a bit nicer when he left, then he was when he first arrived.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns to the computer:  Computer:  Release all files pertaining to the entity known at Dy'ybylys to Cmdr Mahl, Cmdr Horn and Captain Marek only.  Authorization Horn 1 delta gamma 24.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Follows the XO with her eyes as he exits the Captain's Ready Room and sits down on the center chair.  Returns her attention to the communication channels::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Horn to Sickbay.  How's our patient?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::notices the XO returned to the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::looks at the MO, then at his commbadge:: *CO*: I was just about to receive an update as you called me. Give me a few minutes to look over the results. ::Motions towards the MO for the PADD::
XO_Mahl says:
::reads over the information about Dy'ybylys, seeing how he terrorized the crew, then took a liking to the CNS, then ultimately left on better terms, although not trusted by anyone, except said CNS::
CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Looks over the data in the PADD:: *CO*: Sir, he appears to be improving... if not slowly... however, he's still unconscious.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Let me know the minute he regains consciousness.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::takes a PADD with a status report and saunters up to the XO:: XO: Commander, here is the current ship's status report.
XO_Mahl says:
::Absent-mindedly takes the PADD from the CEO::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Anything interesting, sir?
CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Nods:: *CO*: Understood. Sovok out.
XO_Mahl says:
::Glances up at the CEO:: CEO: Nothing that I can discuss with you, Commander.  the information is on a need to know basis only.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Ah, I see.  Classified and all that.
XO_Mahl says:
CEO: Exactly, Cmdr.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::looks at the XO strange::
MO_Garta says:
CMO: Anything you need from me at the moment Sir?
CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::looks at the MO and smiles:: MO: No, just organizing some things around Sickbay.... no matter how much organizing I do there always seems to be more to do... thank you for the report, is there anything you need assistance with?
MO_Garta says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: No sir, although I was considering taking a quick tea break now that you are on duty.
CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::nods:: MO: By all means. I'll call you should anything arise.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: I guess we'll know when we "need to know."  I'll return to my station, sir.
MO_Garta says:
::smiles:: CMO: Thanks. ::heads out for a short break::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sits in her RR ... ::
XO_Mahl says:
::Continues to read the information in the file;:
XO_Mahl says:
*CO* Captain, do you have a moment?
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  Of course, Commander.
XO_Mahl says:
::Goes to the ready room door, and rings the bell::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Enter
XO_Mahl says:
::enters::
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Watches as the XO gets up and heads back to the Captain's Ready Room....again...  Thinks: Make a note to have carpet runners installed from the Captain's chair to the Ready Room::
XO_Mahl says:
CO: Captain, After reading this information, it would appear that Dy'ybylys holds no malice towards this crew. I see no reason that would cause him to lie.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  I'm beginning to see that as well.  Although I find it very hard to trust this being ...
MO_Garta says:
::enters the turbolift and orders it to the lounge::
XO_Mahl says:
CO: I can see why.  Dy'ybylys was anything but trustworthy when he was last here.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: However, now he has a child on the way,  I fail to see a reason he would want to cause any harm with that child here.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Now you see my dilemma.  Do I, or do I not, go forward with this
MO_Garta says:
::enters the lounge and orders a cup of lemon-berry tea::
XO_Mahl says:
CO: In my opinion, I would say yes.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Noted.  Thank you for your counsel, Commander.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: Anytime, Captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::makes an adjustment in the warp matrix to increase efficiency::
MO_Garta says:
::gazes out the window sipping her tea and thinks about her "new" life on the Scorpius::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  I'm going to get a cup of coffee.  I'll be in the lounge if I'm needed.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: Very good.  I will be on the bridge::
XO_Mahl says:
<edit out the :: on the last XO comment, and replace with .>
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::gets up and exits the RR ... heads for the Turbo Lift::
XO_Mahl says:
::Returns to the bridge, once again taking the center seat::
MO_Garta says:
::sets the cup down on the table and smiles softly::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::arrives on the appropriate deck...walks towards the lounge doors and upon reaching them, enters::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sees the MO and walk over towards her:: MO:  It doesn't change, does it?
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
MO:  The view, I mean.
MO_Garta says:
CO: The view?  No, not really.
MO_Garta says:
CO: It's all lights of someone's home.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
MO:  I haven't had a chance to speak with you since you came on board.  Welcome back, Jenise.
MO_Garta says:
CO: Thank you. ::smiles:: I saw in the records that your family is all nice and healthy.  And, of course, I just gave Russ his physical.  He's as healthy as he is stubborn. ::laughs::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::takes a PADD and accesses a manual::
XO_Mahl says:
::Receives an incoming message from Star Fleet command::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::chuckles:: MO:  That he is.  So how are you doing?
XO_Mahl says:
::Reads the message, and goes quiet::
MO_Garta says:
CO: I'm okay.  Not perfect, I won't be that until I get my children back, but it does feel good to be home again.
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Glances over at the XO and notices his expression:: XO: Are you all right, Sir?
XO_Mahl says:
::hand shaking, reaches down to his COM badge, taps it, and contacts the CO:: *CO* Captain, I must speak with you, immediately.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  I'm on my way.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::senses the tension in the XO:: XO: Commander, something wrong, sir?
XO_Mahl says:
::Gets up and begins to pace back and forth on the bridge::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::shrugs to the MO:: MO: As usual, duty calls ...
MO_Garta says:
CO: That didn't sound good.  Best of luck with duty.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::gets up:: MO:  We'll talk later.  ::heads out of the Lounge back to the Bridge::
XO_Mahl says:
::doesn’t quite look up at the CEO:: CEO: Nothing, commander... nothing.
MO_Garta says:
::finishes her tea and heads back to sickbay::
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Doesn't feel like nothing.  Remember, part Betazoid.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge and moves over to the XO::
XO_Mahl says:
::Raises voice a bit:: CEO: I said it was nothing!  ::Takes a breath:: CEO: Sorry, you are right, but I just don’t want to speak of it right now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the CEO::  CEO:  Is there a problem here, Commander?
XO_Mahl says:
::sees the CO arrive:: CO: In your ready room, please.
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks over at the Klingon, giving him a "dirty" look.  Thinks: Always trying to intrude on other people's feelings.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Not now, ma'am, at least for me.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::nods::
MO_Garta says:
::enters sickbay and heads to start diagnostics on the biobed::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::indicates towards her Ready Room:: XO:  After you.
XO_Mahl says:
::heads to the ready room yet again::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::enters:: XO:  What is it?
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::senses the objection thrown toward him from OPS:: OPS: I can't help it.  He had a strong tensing feeling that I could have detected halfway across the quadrant.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: I just received word from star fleet command.  There has been an ::hesitates:: an incident on the Trill home world.  My father has been killed, and my mother is critically injured.  
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  You want to go home?
XO_Mahl says:
CO: I already sent my reply to them.  I leave within the hour.  I highly doubt that I will be returning to service, and if I do, it wont be anytime soon.
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Then perhaps you can keep your Klingon nose out of other people's business.  Keep your thoughts to yourself!  ::Turns her back to the Klingon::
CNS_Rand says:
::in her office, trying to catch up with the reports she had forgotten::
XO_Mahl says:
CO: If my mother passes on as well, I will be expected to take over the family interests.
CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::mutters:: Self: Well excuse me for having Betazoid genes!
XO_Mahl says:
CO: And, for the record, the CEO was simply asking me if anything was wrong.  He must have sensed my distress.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Then you have my blessing to go, Commander.  And my sympathies for your loss.  Take care of your family.  That is all that matters right now.
XO_Mahl says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  Unfortunately, I wont have time for any long good byes.  Please let the crew know that I will miss them all.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  And we you.  I'll pass on your message.  Good luck
XO_Mahl says:
CO: Thank you.  ::turns and exits the ready room, goes directly for a turbolift, and heads for his quarters::
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks after him sadly:: *OPS*:  Bridge to OPS.  Have a shuttle prepared for Cmdr Mahl for departure as soon as possible.
OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.
CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::leaves the RR and walks back out onto the bridge::
