<<<<Resume Mission, "Picture Show Finale">>>>

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::in the lobby:: CMO: Were you able to get hold of Helen?

CTO_On says:
::in the lobby with the rest of the crew::

CNS_Enki says:
::Gathered with the rest of the crew, seeing if there's anything else that needs to be discussed before she moves off::

FCO_Curgan says:
::makes his way over to the CSO::

XO_Tarrez says:
::stands with the group in the lobby::

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: She is on her way

CNS_Enki says:
::Wonders where D’von is, as he would know where to reach this Richard::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks more grumpy than usual for a Vulcan::

CTO_On says:
CNS: It was horrible what we saw in that secret horror room ::he still is shocked::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Are you alright Lieutenant?

CNS_Enki says:
::Still trying to shake the image herself:: CTO: Yes, it was... I don't understand it at all.  What would drive people to do those things?

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: I am fine, thank you. ::is feeling conflicted about her various duties::

XO_Tarrez says:
::rubs her lower back absent-mindedly::

CTO_On says:
CNS: Crazy people, that's for sure. Normal people don't do that

Host Brett says:
Action: The CSI team arrives and the group of three move through the lobby, the young officer from the front door escorting them back to the secret passage.

CNS_Enki says:
::Chuckles slightly:: CTO: There are rarely "normal" people...

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: As ordered I am to present you with the information I've found so far.

CSO_Syrna says:
CO: Ma'am I need to finish reading this, but I do not want to leave the premises with it. ::whispers::

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to the FCO, glad for the distraction:: FCO: Please. Enlighten me.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around at the milling crew.  Sees the CSO with the book:: CSO:  Go find an empty office.  When you are done bring it back to me.

FCO_Curgan says:
::gets out his tricorder and hands it to the CSO::  CSO: I've got all the information stored here.

CTO_On says:
CNS: You speak from experience, I mean you are a Counselor and you know about Psychology and so on

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: I think it'd be better read.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: I'm not quite in the mind set to talk about it.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: Lt., You had better start without Lt. D'von.  he must have been delayed.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Come with me then. ::goes to sneak off to the empty office she was in before::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods and moves to follow the CSO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Why don't you accompany the counsellor and help her with her search.

CSO_Syrna says:
::quietly goes up the stairs and enters the empty office:: FCO: Please let me see what you have for me.

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods:: CO: Ma'am, do you know where I could find this Richard?

FCO_Curgan says:
::brings up the display of the various information he had compiled about the passage and adjoining rooms::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: CNS: No, but see if the office is open, there may be an address there.  Look for a flyer for the theater, he's part owner and there should be contact information.

CTO_On says:
CO: Okay, I go 

CNS_Enki says:
::Nods:: CO: Good idea... ::Looks at the CTO, then leads the way to the office::

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Interesting these rooms are part of the original construction of the building back in the 1930's

CTO_On says:
::follows the Counselor to the office:: CNS: I am right behind you, ma'am

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods:: CSO: I found that interesting as well.

Host Brett says:
Action: Helen arrives, looking flustered.  She rushes in, sees the crew in the lobby and comes over.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Do you want to stay here while I work on this book?

CMO_Hunter says:
Helen:: Hello Helen...

CNS_Enki says:
::Hesitates for a moment, wondering if they should listen to what Helen says or just continue on::

CSO_Syrna says:
::opens the book and starts translating::

XO_Tarrez says:
::motions to the CNS to go ahead and go::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: I'd like to, as I'm not sure what else I should be doing.

CNS_Enki says:
::Gets the XO's motion, and continues on, barely missing a step... leads the way to the office, and begins looking around for a database or such::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
:is about to go give the necklace to the forensic team when Helen arrives:: Helen: I'm glad you are here.  I'm afraid I have some bad news. ::holds the necklace behind her back::

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: You can go if you feel you need to, but I would prefer that you stay... you understand.

CTO_On says:
CNS: Is there anything you want me to do for help?

CMO_Hunter says:
Helen:: Hello!

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: We need to find Richard's address... find a database, or a rolodex, or a flyer... something... ::feels really odd about rooting around like this::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Aye, ma'am.

Host Helen says:
CMO: Owyn! What's going on here?  Has there been another accident?

FCO_Curgan says:
::sighs, relieved that he can sit down and relax for a little bit.::

CMO_Hunter says:
Helen:: I'll let the Captain explain ::motions to the CO:

CSO_Syrna says:
::frowns as she sees another ritual to turn the tide back, notes the language switches from Sumerian to Hebrew::

CTO_On says:
CNS: All right, I am on that now ::starts looking for a database or a rolodex or a flyer::

CSO_Syrna says:
Self: Untainted blood? The sigils need to be written in "untainted blood".... what might that be?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Helen: We found a secret passageway that leads down into the basement.  At the bottom was a ritualistic room with an alter.  It seems that it has been used by a cult called the Key and gate Society for hundreds of years for sacrifices and blood rites.

Host Helen says:
::Looks stunned::

Host Helen says:
CO: What are you saying?  Was someone...?

CTO_On says:
CNS: Hey, I find this flyer that was under this desk ::hands the flyer to the Counselor::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Untainted?  Perhaps that of someone not involved in battle?

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Alright... let's see... how far is that...

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Not sure... pure might be a better word... an innocent perhaps?

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: A child perhaps...  Does it say how much?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Helen: Someone has been using the room and recently.  I've called the authorities and they are here now.  If this isn't cleared up tonight you are going to have to postpone the opening.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: A child.... maybe.

XO_Tarrez says:
::scans Helen's emotions::

CSO_Syrna says:
::records the translated ritual and downloads it into her PADD for later reference, also records the original images just in case::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Well, that's not that far... feel like walking?

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Know anyone fluent in ancient Hebrew and Sumerian?

FCO_Curgan says:
::blinks::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: No I do not.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Enough blood to write symbols of banishing around the alter room.

Host Helen says:
Action: There is a sudden sound, like a rushing of water or a roaring of a great fire, muffled by the walls of the theatre.  But, the sounds of screams can still be heard.

CTO_On says:
CNS: Walk....Yes, I am not that tired

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around suddenly:: All: What was that?

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks up::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Did you hear that?

XO_Tarrez says:
::senses that Helen is frighten and tired, as well as at wits end when she hears the noise::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hits her comm badge:: *All*: Report!

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks around:: All:: That...isn't good

Host Helen says:
::Looks around suddenly::  All: What was that?!

FCO_Curgan says:
*CO*: All fine here, Ma'am.

CSO_Syrna says:
:looks up at the FCO:: FCO: A rushing sound and a scream. *CO*: Here, and ready to turn in the book.

CNS_Enki says:
::Hm, wonder what the Captain wants:: *CO*: The CTO and I are just about to head out to Richard's.

FCO_Curgan says:
::stands up and makes his way to the door::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Lets go.

Host Helen says:
INFO: It came from, you guessed it, the back of the house...where the Green room and Dressing rooms are.

CTO_On says:
::stay still and listen what the CNS report::

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets up and goes downstairs::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns and heads back towards the stage::

Host Helen says:
Action: The front doors of the theatre open with a loud crash and Richard strides in, a wind ruffling his long coat.

CMO_Hunter says:
::follows the CO::

CMO_Hunter says:
::stops and turns back::

XO_Tarrez says:
::wants to rush back there but knows that the police are there... sees K'Beth go anyway and follows::

CNS_Enki says:
::Begins walking back downstairs from the office, and happens to catch a glimpse of a man, and has a thought that it might be the person they seek::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns and sees Richard, stuffs the necklace into her jacket pocket::

Host Helen says:
::Sees Richard enter and sighs with relief.  Rushes toward him.::

CTO_On says:
::walks behind the CNS downstairs from the office and there's a person that we are looking for::

XO_Tarrez says:
::reaches out to stop Helen:: Helen: Wait!

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees Richard rush in, the book wrapped up in a cloth, still in her hands, goes white::

FCO_Curgan says:
::catches up with the CSO::

Host Helen says:
::Stops in front of him, looks up at him and her face turns white.::

FCO_Curgan says:
::quickly steps between the CSO and Richard to hide the book::

Host Helen says:
Action: Helen opens her mouth to scream, but falls to the floor in a heap at Richard's feet.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks up to him and then turns:: CMO/FCO: Go and check on the police officers...::turns back to Richard and continues to walk towards him just missing hitting Helen as she falls::

XO_Tarrez says:
::kneels beside Helen and feels for a pulse::

CNS_Enki says:
::Sees Helen fall, and wonders what is going on... she hesitates and looks to the CTO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns back towards Richard:: Richard: What is going on here?

FCO_Curgan says:
::growls at the order, but turns to go anyway::

Host Richard says:
All: You couldn't leave well enough alone could you?

XO_Tarrez says:
::whispers:: CO: She is alive.

CMO_Hunter says:
::runs to check on the Officers::

FCO_Curgan says:
::jogs after the CMO looking back at the confrontation he knows is about to start::

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard's voice sounds strange, as if modulated an octave too low and through some sort of filter.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands in front of him:: Richard: Leave what alone?

CTO_On says:
CNS: Are you alright? ::put his hand on her shoulder gently::

Host Richard says:
Action: As he looks at the crew, they see his eyes blaze, as if his eye sockets were filled with fire.

XO_Tarrez says:
::glances out at the corner of her eye, looking for anything she could use for a weapon in a pinch::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: Didn't you see that?  Helen just dropped over... and that man, if he is Richard, is acting very odd.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::motions for Sy to get back and steps back a step at the sight of Richard's eyes:: Richard: What do you want?  Who are you?

Host Richard says:
ALL: Fools!  ::Waves his arms as if shooing a fly and all near him, including Helen are thrown backward ten feet.

CSO_Syrna says:
::is surprised, puts the book behind her::

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: And THAT definitely isn't normal... ::Wonders if he still has his sidearm::

CMO_Hunter says:
::turns just to see them all fly back, then ducks into the seating...reaching for his phaser on his hip::

XO_Tarrez says:
::spies a wrench left by a worker and moves a step back as the CO told her to do... stepping closer to the wrench::

CTO_On says:
CNS: Yes, I saw that. Believe me and haven't seen things like this, but I am prepare for those stuff

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::flies backwards and lands heavily:: CTO: Maximum stun setting...Fire!

XO_Tarrez says:
::is carried even closer to the wrench by the throw::

CTO_On says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::sets his phaser to stunt and fires::

Host Richard says:
ALL: Your puny attempts cannot stop us.  The Old Ones WILL return and claim what is theirs.  And I shall sit on their right hand as King of this miserable world.

CNS_Enki says:
::Thinks that this guy might be just a little psycho::

Host Richard says:
Action: The phaser beam hits Richard in the chest and he is sent backward several feet, before falling to the floor.

FCO_Curgan says:
::jumps into the seating right next to the CMO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::staggers to her feet.  Growls:: Richard: You should work on that delusion of grandeur you have.  ::heads over to him indicating that the CTO should keep a draw on him::

CTO_On says:
Self: gotcha!

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits to see if Richard gets back up::

CMO_Hunter says:
::remembers he doesn’t have his phaser and curses to himself::

FCO_Curgan says:
::tries to take aim, but the line of sight is cut off by Richard falling back::

XO_Tarrez says:
::grabs the wrench and hides behind a column::

FCO_Curgan says:
::stands up to try to see some more::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Keep your phaser on him....if he twitches fire again.

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks around for any type of hammer or tool left by the work crews and creeps around behind the chairs too see if everyone is ok

Host Richard says:
Action: As the CO looks down at Richard, his eyes snap open and he smiles.  His eyes flash and fire erupts outward with great force like a water hose.  The CO is thrown up and backward, her hair and one sleeve on fire.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CSO*: Did you find anything in that book that we could use against this guy?

CTO_On says:
CO: I will ::keeps his phaser aiming him::

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard rises up from the floor not bending his body at all, until he stands again in the lobby.

CSO_Syrna says:
::starts sneaking down the stairs the rest of the way, trying to keep out of his line of sight, hears the XO, wonders if one of those Hebrew names would work::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::falls back and rolls on the ground trying to put the fire out:: CTO/FCO: Fire at will.

FCO_Curgan says:
::Fires his phaser::

CTO_On says:
CO: Aye, ma'am ::fires again his phaser::

CNS_Enki says:
::Hides at her current location on the staircase::

Host Richard says:
Action: The phasers again stagger Richard.  He stumbles backward under the force but does not fall.

FCO_Curgan says:
::growls::

XO_Tarrez says:
::somehow thinks that her wrench isn't going to do anything, but hangs onto it just in case::

CSO_Syrna says:
::Shouts:: Richard: Yod-He-Vau-Heh! ::hoping that will work since it seemed pretty important::

FCO_Curgan says:
CO: permission to raise setting?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::finally gets the fire out and pulls Helen out of harm's way:: CTO/FCO: Use lethal force if you have to...

CTO_On says:
Self: gotcha! again

FCO_Curgan says:
::sets his phaser to two thirds power and fires again::

Host Richard says:
Action: At the CSO's words, Richard growls something unintelligible and his eyes lock onto her.  Fire flashes out at her

CTO_On says:
::set his phaser to the half and fires again::

CNS_Enki says:
::Still hiding her pretty face::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks: that got his attention.... now what?::

XO_Tarrez says:
::debates rather to try and scan Richard::  *CMO*: Would you recommend allowing me to scan Richard?

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO*: NO! you get for cover now! I’ll do it.

XO_Tarrez says:
::is concerned about the welfare of the baby::

Host Richard says:
Action: The force of the phasers send Richard stumbling back out the doors of the theatre as the fire burns the stairs around the CSO, setting the carpeting on fire under her feet.

CMO_Hunter says:
::moves out from the chairs.....trying to scan Richard, mumbling a silent prayer to his Gods::

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves into the main area of the lobby slowly approaching the front doors::

CSO_Syrna says:
::jumps over the railing onto the lobby floor::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::pulls Helen over towards the XO:: XO: Take care of her and keep down. ::heads back towards the CSO::  CTO/FCO: Keep firing...maximum setting.

FCO_Curgan says:
::sets his phaser to maximum power::

CTO_On says:
::set his phaser to the max and fires::

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the CO and nods, but wants to move to the altar room::

CSO_Syrna says:
CO: I think I have something... another ritual in the book. But it requires the blood of someone pure.... ::looks at the FCO::

FCO_Curgan says:
::raises his eyebrow::

Host Richard says:
Action: Again Richard rises, and is met with maximum force phasers.  He screams and recoils, turning his back and shielding himself with his coat as if to ward off a water hose.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: ::shouts:: What do you need?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around past the flames for an extinguisher:: CSO: No, look for something to put this fire out instead.  :: sees the counsellor:: CNS: You too...find an extinguisher.

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks around the room::

CTO_On says:
::fires again his phaser, but this time he aims to Richard's head::

CSO_Syrna says:
::thinks she finally gets what it is meaning, tries to get to the FCO, shouts:: FCO: I need to ask you an invasive question... may I?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::heads back towards the CTO and FCO:: CTO/FCO: Keep firing.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Go right ahead.  ::fires again::

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks for an extinguisher as she heads to the FCO, not close enough to whisper:: FCO: Are you... ::hesitates:: a virgin?

Host Richard says:
Action: Suddenly, Richard turns and holds out his hands.  The phasers impact them and have no effect.  Richard laughs.

CTO_On says:
::sees his phaser reload and fires again aiming to the head of him::

XO_Tarrez says:
::winces as she feels a sharp pain::

CMO_Hunter says:
*XO/CO*:: He's Human...well mostly...his Vitals and Electrical readings are off the charts::

FCO_Curgan says:
::blinks in astonishment::

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard shoves his hands forward and the energy of the phasers is forced back into the weapons.  They begin to overheat.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO I.. err.. Well, yes.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: I told you it was invasive, but it is important you tell me the truth...

FCO_Curgan says:
::shouts as he drops his overheating weapon::

Host Richard says:
ALL: The Key and the Gate will rise again!  Technology is useless, all will bow before us and despair!

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Then I have need of your blood if you are willing. ::has a bad taste in her mouth::

CMO_Hunter says:
::stands quickly yells to Richard in Gaelic, then ducks back down again hoping to distract him::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::growls when she sees that.:: CSO: If you think this is going to work then do it...but hurry...

CTO_On says:
Self: No way, our weapons had no effect on him

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO/FCO: Stop firing and get back

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Come with me... ::rushes to the alter room::

FCO_Curgan says:
Self: Now I've got nothing better to do.  CSO: Lets get to it.  My blood is yours for this duty.

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard motions and several trash cans and potted plants fly toward the CMO and XO, crashing against their covering furniture, showering them with glass, dirt and debris.

XO_Tarrez says:
::hears the word technology and looks at her wrench again::

CTO_On says:
FCO: Get back, is useless! ::stops firing::

FCO_Curgan says:
:: runs off a little faster trying to get away from all that's occurring in the foyer::

CSO_Syrna says:
::arrives in the room:: FCO: Thank you. ::looks on the altar for a wand::

CSO_Syrna says:
::and a knife::

XO_Tarrez says:
::ducks and covers Helen::

Host Richard says:
Action: Begins advancing into the theatre again, muttering unknown words.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Get back and under cover.  ::stands there in front of Richard::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Find what you need here is my blood.

CTO_On says:
::runs and get under cover::

Host Richard says:
Action: Motions toward the burning stairs and the flames extinguish.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Please give me your hand. ::picks up the knife:: This will probably hurt.

FCO_Curgan says:
::holds out his arm::

CMO_Hunter says:
::covers the XO::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::starts to back up slowly:: Richard: So tell me....what exactly is this Key and Gate?

CSO_Syrna says:
::cuts his hand reluctantly, as the blood begins to flow, puts the bowl below his hand, dips the wand in the bowl::

FCO_Curgan says:
::grits his teeth in preparation::

Host Richard says:
Action: Walks up to the smoking CO.

FCO_Curgan says:
::squeezes his arm to increase the flow of blood, grunting a little at the pain::

CTO_On says:
::at the distance he sees where the CNS is hiding and he runs where she is::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::backs up a bit more, trying to stall for time:: Richard: You know...I might be interesting in joining...I need more extra curricular activities...are there annual dues?  Can anyone join?

CSO_Syrna says:
::gets some blood on it and guesses which direction is east and hopes she is right, referencing the PADD, starts lighting two candles on the alter, then  goes to the eastern portion of the room to scribe a 5 -pointed star and carefully makes the YHVH letters::

Host Richard says:
CO: You cannot comprehend.  You are a tool of technology.  He is ancient.  He is all powerful.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Richard: Who is 'he'?

Host Richard says:
CO: You wish to join us?  ::Chuckles, a not pleasant sound at all::  Then you shall.  ::Reaches for her::

CMO_Hunter says:
::Screams and rushes Richard::

CMO_Hunter says:
::makes the leapt to tackle him

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::ducks back and scrambles backwards a few more feet:: CMO: Hold your position!

CSO_Syrna says:
::goes back to the FCO and takes him with her, dips the wand in again for more blood, draws around the room to the place she thinks is most south, starts another star and the appropriate 4 letters for adonai::

FCO_Curgan says:
:: stays close to the CSO::

Host Richard says:
Action: The CO is caught by the neck by an invisible force.  Choking, she is lifted into the air.  Richard extends his arm, as if he is holding her, though she is several feet away.

CMO_Hunter says:
::Slams into Richards back::

Host Richard says:
Action: The CMO hits Richard mid body.

CSO_Syrna says:
::continues the enclosure to the west and draws the star there as well... the appropriate letters as shown on the PADD for eh-heh-yeh::

XO_Tarrez says:
::feels another shot of pain:: Self: This is not a good time baby.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gasps for air and tries to grab whatever is holding her up::

CTO_On says:
CNS: Our weapons doesn't affect this "person" and I don't know what it is

CSO_Syrna says:
::each time dipping the wand in the blood::

Host Richard says:
Action: The CMO cracks a collar bone as if he had hit a stone pillar.  He collapses to the floor at Richard's feet.  Contemptuously, Richard tosses the CO aside, sending her crashing into a replicator, and bends down to lift the CMO up by the back of the collar.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: How is it coming?

CSO_Syrna says:
::draws the circle toward the north, the star with AGLA as per the PADD:: FCO: almost there..... ::dips the wand again::

Host Richard says:
CMO: So...you wish to...::Stops and cocks his head to the side, as if hearing something.  A looks of rage grows on his face.::  Noooooo!

XO_Tarrez says:
::sees Richard and moves out a bit from cover:: Richard: Nooo!

CSO_Syrna says:
::draws the circle toward the east making it complete::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::flies through the air and hits the replicator smashing it.  Staggers back to her feet coughing:: Richard: Put the doctor down...now!

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks about the room at the writing::

XO_Tarrez says:
::sees the change and wonders what has caused his pause::

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard turns and heads for the back of the theatre, carrying the CMO as if forgotten.

CMO_Hunter says:
::takes the opportunity to slam his arms into Richard’s ears while delivering a powerful kick to Richard’s "soft dangly bits"::

FCO_Curgan says:
*CO*: I think the work here is done.  What is the situation up there?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::staggers over trying to stay upright....follows painfully after yelling hoarsely:: Richard: Let him go!

CSO_Syrna says:
::feels Richard coming and turns to face the door, holds the PADD for the final words::

XO_Tarrez says:
::thankfully the CMO is on the other side of his body so she risks it by throwing the wrench at him as he goes by::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hits her comm badge:: *CSO*: Get out of there...he's coming...

XO_Tarrez says:
::takes cover again::

Host Richard says:
Action: The unexpected assault staggers Richard, he drops the CMO and grabs his "dangly bits", snarling in pain.  But he continues on toward the dressing rooms.

Host Richard says:
Action: The wrench hits him in the side of the head and he falls to his knees.  Standing again, Richard whirls on his attackers, his eyes blazing.

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Finish quickly I'll stall him as best I can.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stops and makes certain the CMO is still breathing and then continues to stagger after Richard:: Richard: Hey...over here!

CMO_Hunter says:
::shakes his head clearing it, Makes for another charge into Richard, ducking low going for his knees::

XO_Tarrez says:
CO: Captain: Take cover!

XO_Tarrez says:
::sees the CMO go again and wants to shoot him herself::

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits confidently::  FCO: Stay within the circle you will not be harmed.

FCO_Curgan says:
::moves to cover the entrance between himself and the others in the lobby

FCO_Curgan says:
::turns back to face the CSO:: You're sure?

CTO_On says:
CNS: Wait here, I'm going to see what happen. Please take cover or go with me

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: Yes.

Host Richard says:
Action: Richard howls an inhuman cry and, as the CMO hits his knees, clubs him on the back of the neck with a stone-like hand.  The CMO collapses in a heap, unmoving.

CNS_Enki says:
CTO: I think I'm going to try to stay safe myself... but I'll watch.

XO_Tarrez says:
::picks up one of the lids to the trash can and moves towards Richard but staying covered::

FCO_Curgan says:
::steps back into the room fully::

CSO_Syrna says:
*All*: Let him come to me. I am ready for him.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: Doctor, keep your distance from him! ::curses when he goes down and finds a hammer, throws it at Richard::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sees the XO:: XO: Get back under cover now!!

CTO_On says:
CNS: Okay, stay here ::as he runs where the rest of the crew is fighting Richard::

FCO_Curgan says:
moves to the side of the door trying to stay out of sight.  Waiting to ambush if necessary::

Host Richard says:
::Ducks the hammer and uses his telekinesis to toss the CO across the lobby, into a lighted display for the Towering Inferno.::

CSO_Syrna says:
::reads confidently from her PADD:: All: As a servant of the order of melchizedek I consecrate this area and banish all negativity from it hence forth. This I do in the name of the order of Melchizedek. You are banished!

XO_Tarrez says:
::clenches teeth:: Self: I am undercover.

Host Richard says:
Action: Suddenly, Richard howls again, this time a wounded wail.  The light in his eyes dims...and extinguishes.  He stands, staggering in places.

CSO_Syrna says:
::waits with a strange serenity::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::goes flying past the XO and lands in a heap of light and glass.  Tries to get up but falls back::

CTO_On says:
::he arrives and his is behind the XO taking cover and waiting for something to do::

CNS_Enki says:
::Curious, she creeps closer, wondering what's going on::

Host Richard says:
Action: As the crew watches, Richard's face and hands begin to age, rapidly.  He again cries out in pain and sorrow and falls to his knees.

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks to the CSO inquisitively::

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: I can feel it.... he is falling.

XO_Tarrez says:
::ignores the howling Richard and moves to the CMO::  CTO: Check out the CO!

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO:  Great work then.

Host Richard says:
Action: As they watch, his face turns to ancient age, then to a skull, and finally to dust.  His body collapses into a heap of dust and tattered clothing.  But the wail continues until the last partical settles.

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: I think, it best we wait until he is gone.

CNS_Enki says:
Self: Interesting.

FCO_Curgan says:
::tries to offer a smile::

FCO_Curgan says:
::nods::

CTO_On says:
::he stand behind the XO as he watches that the XO is the only one standing::

FCO_Curgan says:
CSO: Though I do wish it had been under better circumstances to me pride...

CMO_Hunter says:
::still on the ground...not moving::

CSO_Syrna says:
::goes forward as the noise has settled down out there, peaks out of the room, hears the FCO:: FCO: I do not understand.

CNS_Enki says:
::Begins walking around, checking the crew for pulses and injuries... the CMO doesn't look good, nor does the CO::

FCO_Curgan says:
Self: Better still.

CTO_On says:
::by the XO request he goes to see how the CO is doing::

XO_Tarrez says:
::feels the CMO's pain and grabs for his tricorder and scans him:: Self:  One collar bone is broken.  Possibly two fractured vertebrae in his neck.  A concussion.

CNS_Enki says:
XO: He will need immediate care.

XO_Tarrez says:
*CSO*: It is over.  We need assistance.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks around the room and notices the policemen..... all burnt:: FCO: I.... must have been so focused on the ritual that i did not notice them.... ::points::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::slowly staggers to her feet and stands there swaying trying to focus:: XO: Is it over?

CTO_On says:
CO: Are you hurt? ::he can see that the CO had some hits::

FCO_Curgan says:
::looks around::  CSO: As did I.

XO_Tarrez says:
CNS: ::nods:: Go call for help and request emergency beam out of all who are injured.

CSO_Syrna says:
::exits the altar room hoping to put the entire illogical affair behind her::

XO_Tarrez says:
::whisper:: CO: Except for the pieces.

FCO_Curgan says:
::follows the CSO as quickly as possible without stepping on her heels::

XO_Tarrez says:
::runs a soothing hand across the CMO's brow::

CSO_Syrna says:
FCO: You do know that the Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that metaphysical manifestations do not exist. ::whispers:: Also, your secret is safe with me.

CNS_Enki says:
::Taps her commbadge, glad they got tied into the planetary net, and calls for medical beam outs for the CMO and CO and Helen.  And the XO, since she'll want to go::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks at her with unfocused eyes:: XO: Good.  ::falls forward to land unconscious like a pole axed cat::
