<<<<Resume Mission "Calling All Angels - Part 4">>>>

Host Brett says:
Summary: The Delphyne arrives at the Detweiller system, all systems in the red and many off-line, switched to back-ups.  Ahead, the outer asteroid belt is in view.

FCO_Tarek says:
::In turbolift to shuttle bay::

CTO_Vendal says:
::Running systems diagnostics on all Tac systems on the Grant::

Host AXO_Hunter says:
::arrives on the bridge and takes his seat beside the ACO::

CEO_K`Vas says:
::in engineering over seeing the systems and making emergency repairs as needed::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::at a Tac station taking scans of the area::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::on the bridge in her chair::  Duty FCO:  Drop us to the Grant's max speed when we are in range of the belt.

CSO_Syrna says:
::on the Grant::

EO_Cruiser says:
::at the SFI console repairing the damage to the structural integrity field::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::on bridge, standing beside the counselor's chair, watching the viewscreen::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CSO*: Is the AT about ready to go?

FCO_Tarek says:
::Arrives in the shuttle bay, and stares appraisingly at the Grant:: Himself: This should be enjoyable...

OPS_D`von says:
::at his station on the bridge, monitoring power levels and other things::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees a Vulcan in a red collar... with very unusual coloring... blond hair... blue eyes.... almost stares at him then hears her badge chime off:: *ACO*: The FCO has just arrived,....

CEO_K`Vas says:
All EOs/Ops assigned to engineering: After the ship drops out of warp you will break into two person teams and begin repairs.  This ship is to be repaired and ready for the return trip, that is an order!

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*AT*: Be prepare to launch in a few seconds.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at him:: FCO: Greetings. I am Lieutenant... Syrna.

FCO_Tarek says:
CSO: Evening, Lieutenant. I am Ensign Tarek.

CTO_Vendal says:
::Diags complete all systems seem at top performance::

CSO_Syrna says:
::buckles herself into the seat:: FCO: Good to meet you, are you ready to launch?

EO_Cruiser says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: All systems have had a full diagnostic ran and are reported in top order

FCO_Tarek says:
CSO: I am ready to launch. ::sits at the helm, running pre-flight sequences::

CEO_K`Vas says:
<the rest of engineering personnel>CEO: Aye Sir.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Excellent. ::looks back at the FCO, finds his looks very Vulcany and... very exotic::

CTO_Vendal says:
::Straps himself in using the harness, fumbling a bit with the unusual restraints::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks at the ACO, listening while the Grant is readying to leave::

CSO_Syrna says:
*ACO*: We are ready down here, give the word to the FCO when you are ready to launch.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Duty FCO> ACO: We are there ma'am. ::keys the console to slow down::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne hurtles over the asteroid field, closing rapidly on their launch site.

FCO_Tarek says:
*ACO*: Ready to launch, Ma'am.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*FCO*: Permission to launch when the Del slows to warp 6

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am. we are approaching the launch site.  They need to launch soon

TO_Re`Volos says:
::scans the rogue planet::

FCO_Tarek says:
::Lifts the Grant off of the deck, turning to face the magscreen:: *ACO*: Aye, Ma'am.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Sir we are ready to begin repairs at your command :: coughs ::

Host AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: By all means Mr K’Vas

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
XO: Ma'am....we're near to our coordinates.

CEO_K`Vas says:
All Engineering personnel : Break into teams and begin repairs, I want reports every hour on the hour, understood?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: Are we at warp 6 now?

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
XO: Dropping down to Warp 6, ma'am.

OPS_D`von says:
::sees the clown duty FCO at the station:: duty FCO: It you slow us down today, maybe they can launch before we fly over the mark ::said with a sarcastic tone:

CEO_K`Vas says:
<All Engineering personnel>CEO: Aye sir.  ::teams begin leaving for repair duty::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::watches on her console until her readings say they are at 6::  *FCO*: Launch now.

CSO_Syrna says:
::grabs her seat reflexively as she hears the com over the FCO's badge::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: Hold her steady

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
::thinks to himself that OPS is rude with a big mouth....wishes OPS would just go answer a phone or something...and let him fly the ship::

FCO_Tarek says:
*ACO*: Launching ::powers up main thrusters, taking the Grant out of the shuttle bay::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO_Cruiser: For the way you handled my duty station in my absence I have a special duty, you are to roam the ship and over see all repairs.  Report back to me.

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Aye ma'am...steady as she goes.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne begins slowing, almost grudgingly.  The ship shudders as the speed drops off, a few loose deck plates pop free and the structural integrity field complains, but the ship slows to warp six.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::takes her seat and pulls up the prime directive::

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
<EO_Cruiser> CEO: Aye sir. ::grabs her toolkit and scurries off::

OPS_D`von says:
::cringes as the ship slows, and various warning lights blink on and off::

Host Brett says:
Action: In engineering, the warp core slows its' roar to the familiar pulsing, leaving a ringing in the ears that will take hours to disappear.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: When they are clear continue to the rogue planet.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Now that we have slowed what do our scans tell us about the planet and the area around us?

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Aye ma'am

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Aye, aye ma'am

OPS_D`von says:
::makes sure the ACO's message gets sent as the ship slows::

Host Brett says:
Action: The USS Grant leaves the shuttle bay and is free to navigate.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::begins detailed scans of the rogue planet::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks up to hear what the TO will report::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am, you message just went out.  How many more are there?

CTO_Vendal says:
@::sets up a remote link to the Delphyne and ties all sensor data on a two way communications band::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Commander, the overdrive is deactivated.  I estimated two days to repair the ship.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: Scan the area for any thing that might have life on it.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Just the one.

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Drops the Grant out of Warp::

Host AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: CEO K’Vas states the Overdrive has been deactivated, he estimates 2 days repair time

OPS_D`von says:
::nods:: ACO: Are we expecting any replies for that message?

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Begins scanning for lifesigns::

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Ma'am...the Grant is clear...proceeding to the rogue planet.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  AXO: Understood

CNS_Jakiel says:
::hopes nothing major comes up in two days...wonders when the lights get to come back on::

FCO_Tarek says:
@CTO: Anything, sir?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: My department will have the ship ready to return to overdrive status for our return

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Have you sent an update to HQ?

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up:: ACO: I am preparing one now, is there anything in particular you want in the update?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Just that we have arrived.

Host AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO* Very good Lt thank you

OPS_D`von says:
::nods:: ACO: Understood ::sends update to HQ:: message away

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Ma'am, scan complete

CSO_Syrna says:
@FCO: Keep moving into the field at warp 6 towards the area where we think the transmission is coming from.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Report.

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: I have something, I need to get closer to coordinates 104 mark 24 mark 56 to get a better reading

CSO_Syrna says:
@FCO: Go to those coordinates.....

FCO_Tarek says:
@CTO: aye, sir. ::continues present course and speed::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::rereads what the little girl messaged out before.  Wonders how many other of her kind there are::

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: I have a small class L planet aprox 10 km in diameter.  It appears to be inside the asteroid belt with a few of the asteroids actually orbiting it

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: Is the tenseness on the ship declining?

OPS_D`von says:
::checks on the status of the holodeck, and hopes the creature is still there all nice and happy::

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: The rogue planet is approximately 9,000 km in diameter and lifeless. A small molten core surrounded by dense rock. It is unlikely that we could cause any significant damage with the Del's weaponry

CSO_Syrna says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: FCO/CTO: Fascinating. Go there.

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  It seems to be for the moment, yes.  With a slower speed and reaching the asteroid belt in more or less one piece...

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Would our tractor beam be able to either pull or push it enough to make a difference?

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Sends exact coordinates to the FCO::

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Dials the inertial compensator down to 95%:: CSO: Aye, ma'am. ::sets coordinates in computer::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Sir I am beginning repairs on the warp core, will you be requiring any antimatter to use on this mission?

CTO_Vendal says:
@::uploads info on the small planet to the Del::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: Monitor what the AT maybe finding.

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Unlikely ma'am.

Host AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: yes ma'am...the CEO wishes to know if we will be needed antimatter?

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  If anything untoward should happen, tensions will rise again...the crew knows the Del is need of repairs.

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: ETA to the planet in ten minutes.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: As we approach, tell us what readings we have on that planet, level of technology and population.

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Begins scanning for number of lifesigns narrowing the scanning area to only the planet::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CNS::  TO: In your opinion is there than anything that the Del can do from out here?

CSO_Syrna says:
@::starts work on calculations of whether or not the planet is going to come through this exact spot::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: We may.

Host AXO_Hunter says:
*CSO*:: Lt, keep me informed of what you find...

Host AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: the CO informs me that we may need some

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: Ma'am as we approach do you want to have us look for the source of the atmosphere in case the TO's alternate plan could be used

Host Brett says:
Action: The comm badges become inoperative as the distance grows extreme.

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: I had thought that it may be possible to deflect the incoming asteroid using some of the other asteroids in the area.

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Some sort of domino or billiards effect

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Aye sir :: coughs:: I can have it in a magnetic transport within 5 minutes from your command

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO:  So can we do anything out here?

Host AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Very good Lt, carry on

CSO_Syrna says:
@COM: Delphyne: ACO: Your last transmission was breaking up... I have switched to ship communications. We have found a class L planet, and are getting more readings ::turns to Vendal:: CTO: I am unaware of any plan the TO had... but please do so if you think it will help.

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  How close will the Grant get to the planet they will be observing?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Aye sir K’Vas out

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: His idea was to find a way to pull the tiny planet out of the way

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: I am not sure why?

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Checks course and speed, making minor adjustments::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: Wouldn't that destroy the eco system on that planet?

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Well I haven't worked out the specifics involved, but we could begin maneuvering the asteroids into place with tractor beams and sending them to intercept the incoming asteroid with explosives

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: Ma'am the distance is causing some problems with communications. I will try to boost it up some, put with all the low power I am not sure what I can do?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: That is what I needed to know... we have to head back.

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: It could if the atmosphere is being maintained naturally, but if it is unnatural or something it may be possible

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: Turn us about and take us back.

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  I am assuming that we are speculating that this tiny planet may be the girl's origination?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Understood.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods:: CNS: yes I would say so

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Scans area for other ships to be certain if they are alone in space here::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: Ah.. if so then yes, look.

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: The farther away from the planet we hit the asteroid the better. It requires less of an impact but creates a greater vector

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Aye ma'am. ::turns the Del around and heads back::

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  And from the girl's message, they can view the rogue planet?  Or that's what it seems she was talking about?

FCO_Tarek says:
@::drops out of Warp, bringing the Grant up to cruising speed, and enters the asteroid belt...::

OPS_D`von says:
ACO: ma'am, you can talk to them, we just have to use the ship to ship comm system instead of the commbadges.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sees her point::  OPS: Inform the AT to stay far enough away so that they go undetected by the inhabitants

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ops: Understood.

CSO_Syrna says:
@COM: Delphyne: ACO: It is confirmed.... the planet will indeed go plowing its way through this area.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: begins permanent repairs to the ruptured plasma conduit::

OPS_D`von says:
COMM: Grant: CSO/FCO: Make sure you guys keep you distance from the planet, you don't want to be seen by the inhabitants

CNS_Jakiel says:
::smiles, seeing the ACO understands::  ACO:  I'm afraid we might be getting dangerously close to breaking the Prime Directive at this point.  As much as we would like to investigate this planet.

CSO_Syrna says:
@COM: Delphyne: ACO: We will be able to detect that distance once we know their level of technology.

FCO_Tarek says:
@COM: Delphyne: OPS: Aye, sir.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: Thank you ::smiles to her::

OPS_D`von says:
::hears the CNS and would be hear to another deck and off the bridge if he thought he had the power to do so::

CTO_Vendal says:
@::scans for signs of artificial atmosphere or other self sustaining factors::

CSO_Syrna says:
@FCO: Are there other ships out there?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: What is on the Long Range Sensors?

CNS_Jakiel says:
ACO:  "Such interference includes the introduction of superior knowledge, strength or technology"  to quote.  One sight of the Grant...

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Scans the area:: CSO: Checking now...

CSO_Syrna says:
@::double checks to see what technology the planet has, since the CTO is busy doing the other things she asked him to do::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CNS: Understood.

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: I have scanned the area and there is no sign of any other ships, may scans also have said that there is quite a large population

FCO_Tarek says:
@::gestures to the CTO:: CSO: There's your answer, Ma'am.

CEO_K`Vas says:
<All Engineering personnel> :: report in as scheduled, things are as bad as thought ::

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles at the CNS:: CNS: So as long as they aren’t seen, we are good right, and what do we do if they are seen, pull out and let them die thinking their god deserted them? ::thinks what a way to go::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: When we get back to the belt drop to impulse and let Engineering know that we won't be needing warp for a bit.

FCO_Tarek says:
@CSO: Has a safe distance been determined yet?

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: the lifesigns are humanoid but very small in size.  It appears that an extreme amount of geothermal energy is what generates the atmosphere, also they are at about the late 20th century based on Earth as a model

CSO_Syrna says:
@::would look completely exasperated if she were anything but Vulcan:: FCO/CTO: Gentlemen... let us coordinate our efforts shall we?

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Ma'am long range sensors show a Ferengi Marauder 2 light years out, headed our way and fast.

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Smiles to the FCO apologetically::

CNS_Jakiel says:
Thinks:  while we are waiting...  ::gets up and takes a walk over to OPS::  OPS:  I don't make that decision, fortunately.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs:: Duty FCO: Belay that message to Engineering.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks up at the CNS:: CNS: Yeah, fortunately

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Nods to the CTO in acknowledgement:: CSO: Yes, Ma'am.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Hail the Ferengi

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Even if they would view how we crack up the rogue planet or move it could be construed as breaking the prime directive.

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: What would the safe distance be then? That we would not be spotted?

DutyFCO_Radioflyer says:
ACO: Aye ma'am... we're back at the belt.   Dropping out of warp to impulse.

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: Well if they are the same technology level as Earth during the late 20th century, then I am sure they wont think some super god saved the day, they will probably come up with some sort of crazy explanation on how it happened.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::puts a hand on OPS shoulder and gently tightens it::  OPS:  While we're just waiting...I believe somebody is avoiding me and my office... ::tightens her grip a little more and smiles down at him::

CTO_Vendal says:
@FCO: Let me figure that out

TO_Re`Volos says:
::frowns in confusion:: ACO: Ma'am, I also have the Federation ship Himori on long range, but they're heading directly away from us, about a half light year farther than the Ferengi

CSO_Syrna says:
@COM: Delphyne: ACO: The planet we are investigating has a large number of very small people on it. they are humanoid. The planet has a good amount of geo thermal energy that generated the atmosphere...  we are getting a distance of how far we can be from the planet and remain undetected now.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks down at her hand:: CNS: I don't know about you, but I am not a touchy feely person, please remove you hand from my shoulder. ::grins:: before you aren’t able to use it anymore

CTO_Vendal says:
@FCO: We should be alright as long as we use the asteroids as cover, if we come out from behind them we would be seen

FCO_Tarek says:
@::Pulls the Grant in close to an asteroid to conceal their presence:: CTO: Right then.

OPS_D`von says:
::his glare towards the CNS is interrupted by an incoming message:: ACO: Ma'am we have an incoming message from SB 39-s, would you like it on the main viewer

CSO_Syrna says:
@ CTO: As you are most familiar with Re'Volos' plan why don't you figure out what we can do to enact that plan and if it would be safe for the population based upon the scans we have.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: Analysis of the Fed ship's movement?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Aye

OPS_D`von says:
::plays the message on the main viewer::

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: The Himori was on the same path as the Marauder, but they're moving away from it.

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS:  hey, guess what?  I am.  ::slowly releases her hand::  and I expect you to see you very soon.

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Ma'am, it's like they're running away.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
TO: From the Ferengi?

CSO_Syrna says:
@::starts making calculations as to what asteroids they may have to move to deflect the incoming planet from the Class L planet they are observing::

TO_Re`Volos says:
ACO: Yes ma’am.

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Begins running the scenario through the computers::

Host Brett says:
Action: The viewer changes from the asteroid belt to Admiral Kiel sitting at her desk.  Her normally bright eyes are dull and her hair looks out of place.  She seems like a woman who has been under a great deal of stress.  She looks at the crew for a moment, then speaks to the ACO.

OPS_D`von says:
::looks at the CNS and glares, he figures he can always find something that is more important then going to her office, and if not he can always just sleep::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stands as she sees the Admiral::

Host AXO_Hunter says:
::watches the admiral intently...wondering why she suddenly looks a great deal older::

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: ACO: Commander.  I think it would be best if we spoke in private.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::dreads what might be coming::  COM: Adm: Aye ma'am. ::nods for D'von to transfer it to the RR::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Looks at the viewscreen::  OPS:  If you think you'll avoid that eval, think again...think all the evasive thoughts you want.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: You have the bridge.

OPS_D`von says:
::transfers the message to the RR:: ACO: Done

OPS_D`von says:
CNS: I thought Betazoids went supposed to probe into the minds of others without permission,

Host AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: Yes ma'am

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves to the RR and seats down at the desk, clicking on the viewscreen::  COM: Adm. : Admiral?

Host Adm_Kiel says:
Action: The main viewer returns to the view of space.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks at him innocently:: OPS:  I have to be a mind reader to put two and two together?  Come now.

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CNS: No, but you do have to have some intelligence, and since you are lacking that I assumed you used that mind reading ability of yours

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: I have ran the specs in the computer over and over and each time the planet is either ripped apart or the atmosphere is destroyed, that idea won't work

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: Look at this... if we move these asteroids here... we can possibly start a chain reaction and divert the incoming planet from its current course.

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Releases the harness and moves over to look over her shoulder::

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: ACO: Commander.  I was told you called.  I have more information for you.  ::Clears her throat::  Two ships left here during the night Capt. T'Kar went missing.  One, a Ferengi Marauder, the other a small yacht registered to Callisto Research and Development on Earth. 

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: But will we be visible while we move any of the asteroids?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::getting a little irritated with his smart mouth::  OPS:  I'd watch such silly assumptions...  might get you in trouble.

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: ACO: When K'Beth could not be located on the station, these ships were hailed.  Neither answered.  Pursuit was organized, the USS Himori gave chase to the Marauder and Commander Doleo and two security officers took a runabout after the yacht. 

OPS_D`von says:
::smiles:: CNS: I am sure they will, now ensign please leave me so I can work

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::recognizes the R&D:: COM: Adm: We have seen them here.  It appears that the Himori was running away from the Ferengi.

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: ACO: Yes, we know about CRD and their Romulan ties, so they were a likely suspect.

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: To make a long story short, Doleo caught up with the yacht near Inu Tontsu...there was a fight.  ::sighs and looks away::

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: Well we need to use this asteroid orbiting this planet here.... and then... that will start things going... then we may need to torpedo incoming splinters of the rogue planet as it may shatter and break apart from the collisions of the asteroids that will be meeting it head on.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::quickly message the AXO and request he ask the CSO and CTO if the TO's plan could be preformed by the Grant.::  COM: Adm: And? ::looks up::

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: Have you projected the impact that would have on the rogue planet's path, would it make it impact other planets?

CNS_Jakiel says:
OPS: I suggest you just turn around and keep your thoughts on your work.  ::continues to stand and listen to the Admiral::

FCO_Tarek says:
@CSO: Shall I get this thing moving, to bring it into the first position?

Host AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Counselor...could you do me a favor?

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO:  Yes sir.  What would that be?

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del: ACO: The Yacht was destroyed, Doleo's runabout crippled....He sent us a message a short time ago...

CSO_Syrna says:
@FCO: We have to get confirmation from the Del to do that... I'll contact them right now.

OPS_D`von says:
::makes a mental note to think Hunter later for taking the CNS away::

CSO_Syrna says:
@::unaware Sy is talking to the admiral:: COM: Delphyne: ACO: We have a plan that might work....

Host AXO_Hunter says:
COM:: CSO: Lt could the TO’s plan be performed from the runabout?

CTO_Vendal says:
@CSO: What about the gravitational forces that the rogue planet will put on this planet.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: CSO: One moment.

Host AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: I need you to take a Nebulizer treatment to the CEO

CSO_Syrna says:
@::hears Hunter and is surprised, then hears Tarrez-Hunter, she sounds like she is busy::

CTO_Vendal says:
@::Begins running an evaluation of suspected gravitational forces put on the planet, and the impact that diverting the rogue would have on the path it::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: keeps pressing to get the repairs done, working as fast as he can to complete repairs.  Driving his department just as hard as the Del has been driven::

CSO_Syrna says:
@COM: Delphyne: AXO: Negative. The TO's plan will not work... but we have come up with something else we just need your approval.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*AXO*:  Alright, and where is this located?

OPS_D`von says:
::sighs:: CNS: I will have to show you how to find the CEO

CSO_Syrna says:
@CTO: We'll work that in... run a few scenarios and see.

Host Adm_Kiel says:
COM: Del ACO: I don't know how to tell you this...Commander Doleo has retrieved Captain T'Kar's remains from the wreckage...She's dead, Sykora....K'Beth is dead.  ::A tear rolls down her cheek::

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Brett says:
INFO: K'Beth finds herself standing as if in a doorway.  She looks one way, and down, and sees her body lying on the floor of the small room, with Tellus ranting above her, thumping her chest with his fist, angry she has thwarted him by dying. 

Host Brett says:
INFO: Behind her, she sees a barren landscape lit by a reddish sun. A dark, sluggish river stretches away before her, so wide K'Beth cannot see the other side.  A short distance away, a large wooden boat sits, it's gangplank resting on the shore. 

Host Brett says:
INFO: K'Beth recognizes this place from her early days, when her father told her tales of the Klingon after-life. This is the River of Blood, and the ship is to take worthy warriors across it to Sto'Vo'Kor.   Approaching K'Beth are three Klingons in battle dress. 

Host Brett says:
INFO: As they draw near, she recognizes them as members of her father's old crew...ones who died around her on the bridge of his ship many years ago.  The leader, the Helmsman called K'Rath, stops before her and looks down at the diminutive captain before him.

Host K`Beth says:
::turns and looks back at her body and at Tellus and then up at K'Rath:: K'Rath: K'Rath?

Host K`Rath says:
::Smiles down at K'Beth::  So little one, you have grown up...some.  ::Laughs::  And look at you, ::Turns her this way and that, examining her::  A Starfleet Captain!

Host K`Beth says:
::grins and staggers a bit as K'Rath almost picks her completely up off of her feet:: K'Rath: It's good to see you...all of you. ::looks at the other warriors standing behind K'Rath::

Host K`Rath says:
::His grin fades a bit::  K'Beth: Well!  I suppose this is not the most happy occasion to meet, but it is far from the worst.  We have come to escort you to Sto'Vo'Kor.  While your death was not an honorable one, you displayed great courage and spirit resisting their torture.  It was glorious to see you break the nose of that Ullian dog!

Host K`Rath says:
Action: The others present laugh and offer their acknowledgement of the act.

Host K`Beth says:
K'Rath: I did enjoy it. ::shakes her head:: But I can't go with you.

Host K`Rath says:
INFO: K'Beth sees Modex enter the room below her and speak to Tellus.  The smaller Romulan stands and brushes himself off.  As they both leave, Tellus speaks and K'Beth can read his lips.  "End Program".  The room dissolves into a small holosuite, bare save for the tiny table, the kit upon it, the chair and her body.

Host K`Rath says:
INFO: Tellus transforms into a figure K'Beth knows all too well: Commander Doleo, of Starfleet intelligence.  The figure of Modex also changes and becomes that of a large, male human in a Starfleet uniform, but she does not know him.  The two men leave the room.

Host K`Rath says:
K'Beth: ::Looks puzzled::  What do you mean?  You have been granted entry into Sto'Vo'Kor!  The greatest hope of any warrior!  Daughter of Jendianna, you must come!

Host K`Rath says:
Action: The other crewmen exchange glances, unsure of what is transpiring.::

Host K`Beth says:
::points to what she just witnessed:: K'Rath: If I don't stop them...those ::curses:: dogs will do to others what they did to me.  I've got to stop them. ::looks at K'Rath sadly and the others before glancing wistfully over at their shoulders towards the river::  I am truly honored that I was granted entry...but my duty remains there.

Host K`Rath says:
::looks at the others, they all seem unsure what to do::

Host K`Rath says:
K'Beth: You do not understand, if you refuse entrance into Sto’Vo’Kor, then you are forever banned!  Your soul will become the plaything of the Fek'lhr!  

Host K`Beth says:
::looks up at the men who watched her grow up....who helped her take her first steps, taught her how to fight.  Especially K'Rath...who told her the legends of the great Klingon Empire and was a second father to her and her twin:: K'Rath: I know...but I have to do this.  Please...understand.

Host K`Rath says:
::Looks at his companions, and then back at K'Beth.::  K'Beth: We DO understand.  ::Stands straight and slaps his hand to his chest, the others follow suit::  Q'Pla! Daughter of Jendianna, we will fight for your spirit here, as you fight for your honor in life.  Perhaps, someday, we will meet again.

Host K`Beth says:
K'Rath: ::also salutes him:: Q'Pla, K'Rath.  You all are a tribute to both your and our house.

Host K`Rath says:
::Nods::  K'Beth: Tell your father we await him in the great hall, it will be good to see him again.  Now go.  Do your duty.  ::Turns sharply and strides across the barren sand toward the ship, the others following behind.::

Host K`Beth says:
::watches the warriors stride away and says quietly:: I won't disappoint you, my old friend.  ::turns and faces back through the doorway.  Takes a deep breath and steels herself against whatever is to come next.  Steps towards the doorway::

Host K`Rath says:
Action: K'Beth falls, seemingly much too far for the distance she perceived.  The fall lasts forever, and then there is a jarring impact; K'Beth opens her eyes and gasps a ragged breath.  She is surrounded, enveloped in pain.  Her head is splitting, her chest burns and sharp pains shoot through her as she struggles to draw in breaths...

Host K`Rath says:
Action: But she is alive, the antidote administered by Doleo apparently having done it's work.

Host K`Beth says:
::rolls over to her side gasping and coughing, her body heaving as it draws in oxygen.  Braces herself shakily on her arms and hands as she retches in reaction to the drugs in her system.  With great effort lifts her head up and looks blurrily around the room and then retches again as dizziness washes over her::

Host K`Rath says:
Action: The shooting pains in her chest become grating razors, drawing her attention to the fact that Doleo apparently broke several of her ribs in his zealous efforts to resuscitate her.

Host K`Beth says:
::Waits a few minutes for her equilibrium to settle and pulls herself painfully up to her knees gasping as her head and body protests.  Tries to get to her feet but staggers sideways falling heavily against the holosuite wall biting her lip as she hits hard and slides down.::

Host K`Beth says:
::uses the wall to brace herself and once again tries to pull herself up to lean against the wall while the room spins around.  Breathing heavily and practically pulling herself along the wall heads towards the panel and the door.  Her vision still blurred::

Host K`Beth says:
::stops several times during the short distance to rest against the wall willing the pain in her body and head to settle.  Never taking her eyes off of the panel and doorway::

Host K`Beth says:
::after an eternity reaches the panel and opens it looking for the comm button.  All the buttons blur together in a colored pattern and she  blinks and shakes her throbbing head to clear both it and her vision before reaching up to hit the comm unit::

Host K`Beth says:
::her voice harsh and barely recognizable:: Computer...what is this location?

Host Brett says:
<Computer> This is Starfleet research facility 31-C.

Host K`Beth says:
Computer...where is this facility located? ::coughs and grimaces at the pain::

Host Brett says:
<Computer> Voice print not recognized, you are not authorized for that information.

Host K`Beth says:
::curses and leans her back against the wall as her legs get too shaky to hold her up:: Computer...what type of facility is this?  A station?  A ship?  A planet?

Host Brett says:
<Computer> Voice print not recognized, you are not authorized for that information.

Host K`Beth says:
Computer, display interior schematics of this facility...authorized areas only.

Host Brett says:
<Computer> Voice print not recognized, you are not authorized for that information.

Host K`Beth says:
::mumbles to herself:: Of course not... ::looks around the empty holosuite again and then pushes herself off of the wall and stands shakily before walking unsteadily to the door hoping that it wasn't locked::

Host K`Beth says:
::feels a bit of relief when it opens and cautiously peers out into the corridor outside of it::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The doorway seems to be part of the holosuite, definitely low-tech.  Outside is a blank, white hallway which stretches away in two directions for a distance of about ten meters, before they turn.  Voices can be heard murmuring faintly from the left.

Host K`Beth says:
::leans against the door jamb for a moment before heading right...away from the voices, using the wall as both a guide and a support::

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth moves along the stark wall toward the turn ahead...

Host K`Beth says:
::stops at the corner and listens for a moment before looking carefully around it::

Host Brett says:
INFO: Ahead lies a corridor much the same as the last, save for an access panel low on the left hand wall and what appears to be a doorway half-way down on the right side.

Host K`Beth says:
::continues slowly along until she reaches the access panel.  Checks to see how to open it quickly and then moves onward, past the doorway.  Looks for a plaque or panel indicating what was behind it::

Host K`Beth says:
::continues on past the door after seeing that it is unmarked save for an access button on the side.  Stops and almost bends over double clutching at her head as the pain increases with the movement.  Straightens and continues onward::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The corridor continues another ten meters, then turns to the right, K'Beth gets the impression the area she is in is a large square.  Peering around the corner she sees several doors, two on the left wall, two on the right.  At the far end of the corridor, a figure walks out of sight around the corner.

Host Brett says:
INFO: The corridor continues another ten meters, then turns to the left>

Host K`Beth says:
::heads back to the access panel and quietly opens it, looking inside::

Host Brett says:
INFO: Inside are the familiar circuits and conduits for power and data that most ships and facilities have.  These seem devoted to the holosuite itself.

Host K`Beth says:
::locates the location of the circuit for the holosuite doors before closing the access panel and heading back down the corridor to the left...slowly and quietly listening for the voices::

Host Brett says:
Action: As K'Beth turns the corner back toward the holosuite, she sees two men standing in the hall looking into it.  A cry from inside the holosuite reaches her ears:  "Where is she!!?

Host K`Beth says:
::turns and hurries back past the access panel and towards the four doors...moving as swiftly and quietly as she is able.  Pulls the circuit for the holosuite door as she passes the access panel hoping to shut it before hurrying down the corridor::

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth hears a voice shout from near the holosuite: "Hey!"  Several other voices also add to the confusion.  She arrives at the corridor area where the four doors sit, two on each wall, facing each other.  The hum of equipment comes from the first door on the left.

Host K`Beth says:
::decides to take a gamble that no one was in the room as she hears the confusion behind her and ducks into the door on the left::

Host Brett says:
INFO: Inside the room is a small computer core, and the equipment used to run the holosuite as well as environmental controls and machinery.  It is a very small set-up and it is unlikely that anything beyond this immediate area is controlled by this equipment.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks over the equipment looking for the power source to the lights and doors.  Also looks around for anything she can use as a weapon::

Host Brett says:
INFO: The equipment is easily located, a pipe ripped from a piece of machinery could serve as a club...if K'Beth's weakened state allows her to remove it.

Host K`Beth says:
::reaches over and grabs hold of the pipe, pulling at it...gritting her teeth at the pain and tearing her broken ribs were doing in protest::

Host Brett says:
Action: One end of the pipe comes free, with a shower of sparks.  Instantly some of the machinery shuts down.  Shouts can be heard faintly.

Host K`Beth says:
::ducks the sparks and stands coughing and gasping...trying to catch her breath before wearily reaching up and pulling to get the other end free::

Host Brett says:
Action: The pipe comes free, and now K'Beth hears footsteps pounding in the hall outside and voices coming closer.

Host K`Beth says:
::pulls the power to the lights and doors and goes to stand on one side of the door.  Leans against the wall and waits::

Host Brett says:
Action: Most of the machinery shuts down, the dim overhead light in the room goes dark.  As K'Beth waits, she hears the voices outside the door: "She's got to be in there." / "We've got her trapped."/ Doleo- "She's made a fool out of me for the last time...kill that traitor!".

Host Brett says:
Action: There is some fumbling at the door, which will not open.  Then the sound of a phaser and a section of the wall near the door lock begins to melt.  They will be inside in seconds...

Host Brett says:
