<<<<Resume Mission: "Picture Show">>>>

CSO_Syrna says:
::in the employee break room having just finished her tea:: *CO*: I thought you might like to know I was "listening" in on the general thought environment. I had a disturbing vision ::sounds very calm now:: of the theatre on fire and people trapped. I would like to go to the county clerk's office and do some additional research.

XO_Tarrez says:
::In the dressing room, searching for clues::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::in basement with the FCO looking for a door that leads to the other storage rooms:: *CSO*: Good idea, Lt.  Keep in touch.

FCO_Curgan says:
::peering around the basement with the CO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::send her thoughts to OPS to let him know she is leaving for the County Clerk's office::

CNS_Enki says:
::Follows the XO, looking around at the ceiling corners at the moment::

CSO_Syrna says:
::exits the building and goes outside::

Host Brett says:
INFO: There are a couple of doors that lead out of the furnace room.

CSO_Syrna says:
::goes to the nearest transportation system and directs her transport to the County Clerk's office::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees a door over to the side and gestures to the FCO:: FCO: Ensign, over here. ::walks up and tries to open it::

XO_Tarrez says:
::becomes aware of how very tired she is::

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks around the sides of the room.. not really certain what they're looking for:: XO: What exactly are we looking for, ma'am?

FCO_Curgan says:
::walks up beside the CO and helps to open the door::

CTO_On says:
::follow the FCO while meeting with the rest of the crew at the dressing room::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins and looks at her:: CNS: Clues, my dear Watson. ::smile fades::  Actually, if I knew I would tell you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::curses as she finds the door locked, looks around for another and sees it:: FCO: Let's try that one over there.

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods back, and begins looking again... couple trunks of clothing items to look at::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO:  Aye Ma`am.

CSO_Syrna says:
::goes to the record access and does a search on the history for the property, looking to find out if there was a movie house here when Richard was a boy::

CTO_On says:
*CO*: Should I dispatch a Security Team in order to help us with the investigation?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks over to the other door and tries it....curses again when she finds that one locked:: FCO: Looks like this is a dead end.

FCO_Curgan says:
::mutters under his breath::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Perhaps we should try to force one Ma'am?  This is a security matter.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CTO*: No Ensign, I'm afraid we are on our own.

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS/CTO: I am going to leave you two to finish checking this room out while I go check the stage out. ::really needs to sit down for a bit::

CNS_Enki says:
::Thought they weren't supposed to wander off alone, and looks at the CTO to see if he'll say anything::

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS/CTO: Let me know if you find anything or when you move on to the green room.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the doors and bends down to peer in the keyhole:: FCO: Yes, but which one.  I'd hate to bust down two good doors.

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees the theatre was closed when he was a boy:: Self: Richard lied about this.... at the very least.

CTO_On says:
XO: Okay, I will take a look the outside of the stage with CNS Enki

FCO_Curgan says:
::sizes up the two doors::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks back in the record near the 1930's which is the period the current theatre was being restored to::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO:  Or we could contact Helen and request a key, perhaps.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: The CTO and CNS are searching the dressing room.  I am going to check out the stage... ::pauses slightly and then adds in a whisper:: and a chair.

CTO_On says:
CNS: Will you follow me? ::motions her to follow him::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Sure.  Do you have any idea what we're looking for?

Host Brett says:
INFO: The doors are wooden but look to be in good shape.  Probably renovated.

CTO_On says:
CNS: Something like a holo projector or so ::while they are walking to the stage out::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::straightens up and grins at the FCO:: FCO: I guess, although that would take the fun out of it.  Why don't you run up and see if she has the keys.  I believe she is in the office.

XO_Tarrez says:
::follows the two outside, but when they head off stage she stays on but within eye sight of them::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Can't you just use your tricorder to scan for something like that?

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees it was a playhouse in the early 1930's which was converted to a movie theatre in the 1940's, makes notes of the names of the establishments, wonders if Richard is more than he actually appears::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, Cmdr.  In fact I think that is a good idea.

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods:: CO: Right away Ma'am.  Be careful down here.

CTO_On says:
CNS: I will ::starts to use his tricorder to analyze the area::

FCO_Curgan says:
::turns to move upstairs::  CO: Umm... Where is the office Ma'am?  I don't seem to recall.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::holds out her hand:: FCO: Leave the phaser here, Ensign.  We don't need to scare the civilians.

FCO_Curgan says:
::grins sheepishly and hands the weapon over::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Go upstairs through the lobby.  The offices are up that way...you should see them.

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods::

FCO_Curgan says:
:: Jogs over to the stairs and then upwards towards the ground floor::

CSO_Syrna says:
::makes notes about when it was closed to check news reports for the "why"::

XO_Tarrez says:
::finds a folding chair and sits down for a bit::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Are you all right, Cmdr?

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks back in the record for exact dates as to the "paradise" night club and when it opened and closed in the same location, makes notes on those too::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: Yeah.  Just a bit tired is all.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits down on the stairs and idly shines a light on the furnace as she waits:: *XO*: Guess we're all getting a bit too old for this, eh? ::grins::

FCO_Curgan says:
::trots to a halt in front of the office door::

Host Helen says:
::Looks up from her desk at the FCO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::exits the menu , resetting the access station and leaves County Records::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grins:: *CO*: Who are you calling old Captain?

FCO_Curgan says:
Helen: Pardon the intrusion, Ma'am, but the Captain and I were looking around the basement and we found several locked doors.  Would you perhaps have a key we could use?

CTO_On says:
CNS: I just got the reading from my tricorder, there is no evidence of a holo projector, but I am picking up what appears to be a passage behind a wall in one of the dressing rooms. Should we investigate and report to the XO and CO

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods:: CTO: Where is it?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: ::chuckles:: Us? Nah...we're not old...but I just hope it doesn't start raining…this basement is damp enough for these rickety old bones....

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: I am leaving county records now. With your permission, I would like to go to the library to do research on happenings at specific times. Also, Richard Kimmel is lying... he told Tarrez and myself that he attended movies at the Paradise when he was a boy. According to county records, there was no theatre there at that time...  if the man is a normal human as he appears to be.

Host Helen says:
FCO: Oh! Ummm, yes I suppose so.  ::Rummages through her desk drawer and hands him a small key with a tag labeled "Basement Storage" affixed to it.::   I will be leaving soon so please put it on my desk when you are through.  ::Smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods and smiles:: Helen: Thanks, and I'll have it back as soon as we are done.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CSO*: Interesting.  You met him....what do you think about him?

CTO_On says:
CNS: It's behind this wall, it should be something that open it like a secret pass ::points her the wall::

FCO_Curgan says:
::turns and quickly makes his way back down stairs::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CNS/CTO*:  Anything yet?

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks back to the transportation system:: *CO*: I think... no I know... he is a liar.... and like most of my kind, I find liars distasteful. ::very calm and even tone... for the most part::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CSO*: Well see what you can find at the library.

CTO_On says:
*XO*: I pick up with my tricorder what it seems to be a secret passage

CNS_Enki says:
*XO*: Mr On's tricorder is picking up a hidden corridor behind a wall.

CTO_On says:
CNS: we both report at the same time ::smiles::

FCO_Curgan says:
::is running down the stairs and skids to a halt almost falling down the rest of the flight as he sees the captain sitting right in front of him on the stairs::

CSO_Syrna says:
::directs her transport to the library::

CSO_Syrna says:
::enters the library and looks for the news archive access::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: I've gotten they key Ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::calmly looks up at the FCO teetering above her and puts out a hand to steady him:: FCO: Whoa, slow down Ensign. ::grins as she stands up::

FCO_Curgan says:
::grins widely, almost child-like::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::takes the key:: FCO: Good work. ::walks over to the door and unlocks it, handing him back his phaser::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sits up at that news::  *CO*: Ma'am the CNS and CTO reports finding a hidden passageway.  Shall I check it out with them or stay here in the stage area while they check it out?

FCO_Curgan says:
::holsters the weapon and moves behind the captain::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: No you stay there and keep in contact with them.  Keep me posted.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am.

FCO_Curgan says:
::removes his tricorder from it's place on his belt and begins to scan::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns the knob and tries to open the door::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CNS/CTO*: Proceed with caution and keep me updated.

CSO_Syrna says:
::does a search for news records from the 1930's on the theatre::

CNS_Enki says:
*XO*: Understood, ma'am.

CTO_On says:
*XO*: We will proceed with extreme caution, ma'am

Host Brett says:
Action: The CO opens the door and sees a storage room with shelves along each wall.  There are boxes and metal cans stacked floor to ceiling in this large room.  Bits of old movie film can be seen sticking out of some of them.  The room covers at least half the building's "footprint" under the seats above.

CTO_On says:
CNS: There must be hidden a key to open this wall or something

XO_Tarrez says:
::has regained a bit of her energy and begins to scan the area of the stage with a tricorder::

CNS_Enki says:
::Looks around the wall, pressing on various sections::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks into the room shining her light:: FCO: Spread out and start scanning for anything that seems out of the ordinary.  Stay in sight.

CTO_On says:
::he takes the other side of the wall and starts pressing various section, too::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::moves a few yards to her left and begins a closer examination::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: You didn't detect any sort of opening mechanism, did you?  Maybe it works on sound or a tricorder frequency.

CSO_Syrna says:
::finds out why the police raided the theatre and closed it down the first time... a cult was meeting there called: The Key and the Gate Society, brow furrows slightly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around for a light switch as she searches around the various boxes and shelves::

XO_Tarrez says:
::looks up at the catwalk and thinks about checking it out but decides that K'Beth would kill her if she ever found out.  Instead searches the backstage area, including the green room::

CTO_On says:
CNS: Okay, Let me try to configure my tricorder to find out a way to open this wall ::starts to use his tricorder::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Ma'am this film is ancient.  It looks to have been here for quite some time.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: I had heard that this used to be an old movie house.  Amazing isn't it?  This stuff survived a nuclear holocaust.

CSO_Syrna says:
;;sees the article mentions suspected activity of said group in ritual sacrifice::

CNS_Enki says:
::Thinks the CTO slept through his tricorder functions class::

XO_Tarrez says:
::accidentally stumbles upon the CNS and CTO::  CTO/CNS: Oh there you are.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees a light switch and flips it on::

FCO_Curgan says:
::blinks rapidly at the sudden presence of light::

CNS_Enki says:
XO: Feeling better, ma'am?

CTO_On says:
CNS: Wait, I think I find something!

CSO_Syrna says:
::does more searching to see if there are any "strange" accidents associated with the theatre from the 1930's on to the start of 2000, figures the records of such occurrences to be fairly slim::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods to the CNS and then turns to the CTO:: CTO: What do you have?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins:: FCO: Much better.  ::starts to search the room working her way towards the back::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to keep pace with the captain::

CTO_On says:
::he goes to a section of the wall paneling near the ceiling in one corner what appears to be a mechanical opening and press it::CNS: Wacht out, now

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Does the tricorder pick anything up?

CNS_Enki says:
::Stands back::

FCO_Curgan says:
::begins searching the ceiling for possible entrances::

XO_Tarrez says:
::stands back and to the side as well::

Host Brett says:
Action: There is a soft 'click' and a small section of wall pops open slightly.  It is crafted masterfully and no seam could be seen there before.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::moves a stack of boxes to one side to get at behind a large shelving unit and shines her light behind it.::

CTO_On says:
CNS: Shall we go in?

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods::

Host Brett says:
Action: A small mouse stares up into the light, beady eyes shining, until it scurries back behind the boxes.

CNS_Enki says:
::Waits for the gentlemanly CTO to open the door and check it out first::

XO_Tarrez says:
::her curiosity almost gets the best of her as she wants to move into the opening to explore what is beyond... but remembers what the CO ordered her to do.:: CTO/CNO: I will stay here to keep the CO informed.  Let me know what you found.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins at the little creature and puts the boxes back before continuing to search:: FCO: Ensign...the tricorder...anything?

CTO_On says:
::he pushes a little bit the opening of the wall to make room for more persons::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Nothing out of the ordinary Ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
::widens her search of any news about the theatre from 1930's onward::

Host Brett says:
Action: The narrow passage leads back several feet into the wall, then becomes a steep set of stairs leading down.  It is dark in the passage and no light switch can be found.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands up and dusts off her hands.:: FCO: You scanned throughout the whole room?

CSO_Syrna says:
::finds the only really odd thing was that the only building left standing after WWIII in the area was the theatre, raises an eyebrow at that::

CTO_On says:
::he uses again his tricorder while inside, but stops because of the darkness:: CNS: It's dark inside

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Anything resembling a light switch?

CSO_Syrna says:
::notes the night club closed due to bankruptcy::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks she is done here, walks outside of the library::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.  The room contains nothing strange according to my readings.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns towards the door:: FCO: Then let's search the other room.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves back out into the main cellar room with the captain::

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: I have found some interesting information. The place was a playhouse in the 1930's. In the late 30's it was closed down due to a murder investigation and a cult was thought to have operated out of there. It was called the Key and the Gate Society.

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his eyebrow at the news::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CSO* : ::closing the door after turning off the light and relocking it:: Key and Gate Society? Are they still in existence?

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: I honestly have no idea. ::wonders where she'd go to find out about a secret society:: Perhaps our CTO could talk to the police about that or planetary security?

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::walks up behind the XO:: hey

CNS_Enki says:
::Doesn't hear a reply:: CTO: Ensign?  ::Follows him into the corridor, looking for anything::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::unlocks the other door:: *CSO*: All right, Lt.  If you are done with your research return to the theater.

XO_Tarrez says:
::turns around::  CMO: Oh there you are.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Yup!...::sees the look on her face:: You ok?

Host Brett says:
INFO: The CO/FCO enter a smaller storage room.  Tables, chairs and holiday decorations in boxes are stacked here.  It appears that this is the room where everything without a proper place is kept.

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks back to the nearest transport::

CSO_Syrna says:
::directs it to the theatre::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Ahh the Junk room.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
:: steps in shining her light:: FCO: See what the tricorder can pick up here. ::wonders where the junk room on the Del is::

XO_Tarrez says:
CMO: Just a bit tired... and antsy from sitting on the sidelines.  ::tries to give a weak grin::

CSO_Syrna says:
::enters the theatre:: *CO*: I have returned. I had an additional thought that I would like to speak with you about.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves about scanning high and low::

CNS_Enki says:
::Sees the stairs leading down, and pushes the door open as far as it can go so that she can see down... a door... she decides to not wait for the CTO, and walks down the stairs, and tries to open the door::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::poking among boxes and old furniture stirring up dust:: *CSO*: I'm down in the basement Lt.  ::sneezes::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::nods:: Take it easy, ok?

CSO_Syrna says:
::walks over to the basement entrance, goes down the stairs::

XO_Tarrez says:
::nods and grins a bit::  CMO: Aye, aye Doc.

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Ma'am I’m picking up another room behind that pile of boxes.  ::points towards the pile indicated on his tricorder::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The CNS opens the door and enters a room straight out of a horror movie.

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions to the passage entry way::  CMO: The CNS and CTO have gone below to check this hidden passage out.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::moves over to the pile and starts to move the boxes:: FCO: Give me a hand, Ensign.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Care to explore?

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: I'm detecting two lifesigns in there.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The CO and FCO clear away the boxes and see no door.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: My other thought was that as I was earlier "listening" for what ever might be out there.... perhaps a powerful psychic gave me the vision, and the strange occurrence seen by D'von and the Doctor as well.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves over to help move boxes::

XO_Tarrez says:
::frowns a bit:: CMO: CO ordered me to stay here, but why don't you go?

CNS_Enki says:
::Her eyes go wide, and her body begins to shut down... she tries to keep control of herself, but lets loose a blood-curdling scream::

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the scream:: CMO: well I think that over rides the CO's order... Let's go. ::heads down the passage way::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: What sort of lifesigns? ::looks for an opening to the room, suddenly hears a muffled scream from the other side of the wall::

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::was just about to protest her staying alone when he hears the scream:: Right! ::follows her::

CSO_Syrna says:
::enters the basement, starts looking for the Captain in the various rooms::

FCO_Curgan says:
::tightens his scans of the lifesigns.  Trying to detect specifics::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The room is 20 by 20 feet and lit by many candles.  A large stone altar stands against one wall and a small bookcase against another.  A thick rug lies on the floor and a small shelving unit near the altar holds cups, bowls and several knives.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: The CTO and CNS is checking out the passage and the CMO and myself have just heard a scream... moving to check it out.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CNS*: Are you alright Lt?

Host Brett says:
INFO: A large painting faces the door, and the CNS.  It is of some sort of behemoth creature, squid like in appearance, glaring with fiery eyes at the room.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Keep me informed...we're on our way. ::turns and runs out of the room up the stairs skidding past the CSO:: CSO/FCO: Follow me.

CNS_Enki says:
::Doesn't respond to the XO::

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to follow her::

FCO_Curgan says:
::runs to catch up with the captain::

XO_Tarrez says:
*CNS*: Respond! ::moves as quickly as she can but is hindered by her physical body and the darkness::

CNS_Enki says:
::Slowly begins to backpedal::  *XO*: There's... there's...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::pounds up the stairs and races onto the stage:: *XO*: Where are you?  We're on the stage....

XO_Tarrez says:
*CO*: Just past the greenroom.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CNS*: ::hears the CNS::  Take a deep breath Lt.

CSO_Syrna says:
::follows the Captain onto the stage::

CNS_Enki says:
::Takes a couple short gasps... tries to calm herself down::

FCO_Curgan says:
::runs along side the CSO and CO onto the stage::

XO_Tarrez says:
::finally makes it into the room and draws a big breath::  All: What in the universe!

CMO_Hunter says:
::Skids to a halt behind the XO:: Bloody Hell!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::races past the green room and sees the corridor and turns into it.  Almost slides down the stairs and skids to a halt squeezing past the XO and CMO.  A bit out of breath:: All: Report...::stops and looks around in amazement::

XO_Tarrez says:
::pulls out her tricorder and starts scan as she breaths heavily::  

FCO_Curgan says:
::skids to a halt behind the group, astonished with the room before him::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: ::gasps for air::  What you see is all we know so far.

CNS_Enki says:
::Still trying to calm herself down... quite a shock::

CMO_Hunter says:
Aloud: what, Is, That?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around and over at the ashen faced CNS:: CNS: Are you all right, Lt?

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: And Captain.  I think I had just found a mechanism for a door when we were leaving.

CNS_Enki says:
CO: Getting.. there...

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: I might be able to find it again when we go back.

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow:: CMO: It appears to be a painting... one that is meant to invoke a fear response.

CNS_Enki says:
CO: Quite a shock... just open the door.. and this.. thing... looking AT me!

XO_Tarrez says:
CO:I don't like that the candles are lit!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Cmdr...give that tricorder to the CSO and go sit on the stairs and catch your breath.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Check the Cmdr over.

Host Brett says:
INFO: Further investigation of the room reveals that the altar is stained brown and several braziers nearby hold the remains of small animals.  A second painting on the wall above the door shows an eight pointed star made up of arrows, all pointing out from a round center.  Inside this is a picture of a large Key, crossed over a gate.

XO_Tarrez says:
::clenches her teeth::  CO: Aye ma'am. ::hands the CSO the tricorder and goes sits down::

CSO_Syrna says:
::accepts the tricorder, feels much better now that she has one of these in her hand:: XO: Thank you.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: Sy, you ok?

CSO_Syrna says:
::starts scanning to detect what is visible and not immediately visible::

XO_Tarrez says:
::a bit upset:: CMO: Yeah

Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: See if this is the room that you scanned in the basement.

CMO_Hunter says:
XO: ::looks into her eyes:: don't lie to me ::lopsided grin::

FCO_Curgan says:
::focuses his scans on the wall that would be the joining structure between this room and the "Junk Room"::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks slowly towards the alter and looks at it::

CMO_Hunter says:
::scans the XO to make sure everything is ok with her and the baby::

XO_Tarrez says:
::once again is amazed at how he can make her smile even when she would rather start upset::  CMO: I will be fine. ::smiles::

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks around in disgust::

FCO_Curgan says:
::blinks, not expecting to have a door readily visible::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves over to the door::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: Ma'am should I try opening this?
