Host Tim says:
The Science Vessel Darnell is on short range scan... half a light year away.  It has not responded to to the Dublin's hails.  There is no sign of damage yet the ship is dead in space; all systems seem intact.

Host Tim says:
<<<Begin mission; Someone help... pleeeease>>>

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::on the bridge, watching the Darnell on the view screen::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::at OPS on the bridge:: CO: Sir, still no answer to hails.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: in main engineering monitoring ships function ::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
::In sickbay readying for patients::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Self: This is darn peculiar...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Keep trying.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Is at the tactical station on the bridge, scanning with the tactical sensors.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
All:  Reports, please?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
*CEO*: Ensign Kell anything you can do to help with tac sensor resolution?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sits at the helm, wondering what this is all about:: XO: Helm is nominal.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: Scanning Ma’am, working with engineering to tweak them a bit see if we can get the best reading.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Take us within transporter range.  Let's take a good look at it.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::turns to Mauro::  CO:  I find it appalling that they are only now looking into the Darnell's situation after waiting so long.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
COM: Darnell: This is the USS Dublin responding to your distress signal.  Come in, Darnell. Respond.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Shall I drop us from warp Captain?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
*CTO*: Of course Lieutenant  :: increases the power to tactical sensor and tries widening the bandwidth for better data transfer ::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::checks on the science sensors::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Yes sir.  FCO:  Slow enough to come within transporter range and then hold position.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
*CEO*: Thank You much Engineering.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Using the improved sensors she scans once more.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::keeps calling and listening for anything other than that repeating distress call::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Me too... however, it is not of our concern.  At least, not yet.  ::smiles a bit::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO/CO: Sensors are detecting one life form on the Darnell.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Aye ma'am.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: Ma’am doesn't look like there are any visible threats in the area.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CEO*:  Ensign Kell...how is engineering doing.  The warp engines in particular since we have not had the chance to check in at DS5 yet?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head:: CO/XO: Still no response.  Their systems may be fried.  I won't be able to tell until I get on the ship.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::turns to face the Captain:: CO: It appears to be a child, a little girl.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: With your permission I'd like to work with OPS to tweak power to the tactical department just in case.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks up at Cassie:: FCO; A little girl?  Human?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::slows the Dublin and moves towards transporter range::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: So it seems Mia.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  If the distress signal is in a loop, I'd say it's on autopilot for a reason.  I'm afraid they may be in a dire condition to leave communication setup that way.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
*XO*: I have been monitoring them since we went to warp.  The efficiency is not up to Starfleet specification, but we can maintain warp speed without any troubles.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Prepare an Away Team.  Check if the Darnell is secure and get there.  Gather as much information as possible.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO:  I believe that might be prudent.  There could have some foul play and if those players are still around we need to be prepared.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO/XO: I have her pinpointed on deck 3 section 467, personnel quarters.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head:: CO/XO: The manifest didn't say anything about children on board.  But then again...the info wasn't the most forthcoming from their home base.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: Understood.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
OPS: Any help with extra power for tactical?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO/XO: I volunteer to go on the away mission.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CEO*:  That's good to hear.  I hope we won't need to be at peak efficiency then.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands and walks towards the pit::  FCO:  Very well.  ::looks at the XO::  XO:  Don't forget to take a medical officer with you.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Permission to join you, Commander.  I want to get a look at their systems.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
*XO*: I am trying to improve the situation commander, as you well know our friends were not the most skilled repair personnel.  I will continue to make adjustments.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CTO: Sure...I can reroute some power to tactical.  What systems?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Yes sir.  ::takes a second to think who might come::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Five minutes to transporter range sir.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
OPS: Shields and weapons if you please. ::Careful to keep her voice polite.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*Dr Taurek*:  Doctor...could you report to the transporter room in five minutes, please?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::works a little OPS voodoo and sends 5 percent more power to tactical:: CTO: That'll do for now?  I want to keep some in reserve.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands behind the pit, watching the crew's arrangements::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO:  Lieutenant Harker...I'll give you a choice.  You can come on the away team or send one of your juniors.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
::confers with Dr. Taurek on emergency treatment plans::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::looks at the tac readout.:: OPS: That'll do. Thanks.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::feels her husband's presence behind her and relaxes a bit::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: I’ll go ma’am.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO: Perhaps you should take Doctor Rez with you, Commander.  This is a great opportunity to show him how an Away Team work.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Calls her deputy McCann as the next most senior to take her place on the bridge.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  As soon as we enter transporter range, take us to full stop.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::smiles up at him:: CO: Yes Captain.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Has another officer meet her in the transporter room with the away team equipment.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::turns to Mia, not at all sure she is up to leaving the ship::  OPS:  Then have Moondoggie relieve you.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::puts his hand over the FCO's shoulder::  FCO:  Can you tell if she's harmed, somehow?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins:: XO: Aye ma'am. ::calls Moondoggie over and turns OPS to him::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks at the readings:: CO: Not from here, but her heartbeat seems strong.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CMO*:  Dr Rez?  Please have Dr Taurek stay in sickbay.  I think it would be a good chance for you to experience an away mission.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
*XO*: Aye on my way.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Gives her station to McCann and joins the XO::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles and nods to Tessa::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Coming into maximum transporter range now.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::heads for the turbolift and waits for Mia and Harker to join her::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Very well... full stop.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Follows the XO.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Bringing us to full stop. :;taps the console controls::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Moondoggie:  Can you beam the AT over the Darnell from here without any problems?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::stops the door from closing:: CO:  Captain, should we beam directly to the little girl's location?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::joins the XO and CTO:: Moondoggie: Have full away team satchels and gear ready for us in the transporter room.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Is sure that if the bridge learns anything about evil viruses or lack of oxygen they will be warned.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns::  XO:  Perhaps you should beam a team to the girl's location and the other directly to Engineering.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie>::checks:: CO: Aye sir....we're at max range but not a problem. ::grins at Mia as the turbolift doors shut::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  But I'll leave it for you to decide, Commander.  ::smiles::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Aye sir.  Then I'll have Ensign Kell come also.  ::nods and smiles back at Mauro, then allows the doors to close::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
XO: Ma’am if we're going to separate perhaps I should have another security officer meet us at transporter room 1?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::observes the doors closing and looks back at the view screen::  FCO:  What could have happened to this ship?  ::narrows eyes slightly::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CEO*: Ensign Kell, could you or one of your subordinates meet in Transporter Room 1, please?  We'll be doing two transports...one is to engineering on the Darnell.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: I have no idea. Their systems seem to be operating perfectly.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO:  Do so.  We don't know what we'll find and I don't want to lose any of our crewmen.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Commander....I can go to the little girl before heading to their bridge.  I'm probably the less scary person here. ::grins::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Nods at the XO and informs the officer waiting with their phasers that he is coming along and to get a kit.::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
*XO*: Why of course commander, on my way.  :: starts for transporter room one bringing EO Little with him ::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
::heads for transporter room one med kit in hand::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sighs wishing she was going to the Darnell::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<Crewman first class Korel>::Surprised at the chiefs words, gets his gear around and waits for the others in transporter room 1.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::whispers::  FCO:  Cas, have you spoken to Nanny Grace about Adam?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
:: arrives in transporter room 1 with the EO and both of them have toolkits in hand ::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grabs her satchel and rifle from the supplies that were sent to the TR 1 and steps up on the pad waiting for transport::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: I tried to talk to her, but she's still upset over the whole matter.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
::arrives in transporter room one::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns to the Duty TO::  TO:  Keep your eyes open.  Report at any sign of threat, but keep shields down until further notice.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<McCann>CO: Yes sir, so far things are quite but I'm running constant scans.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::exits the lift and heads into the transporter room::  CEO:  Ensign Kell...the rest of us will transport directly to the location of the only life form.  After we're gone, go ahead and beam directly to engineering.  ::as she speaks to the engineer, Tessa slowly steps up to stand on one of the pads::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE AWAY TEAMS ARE BEAMED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES ON THE DARNELL

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I still do not understand why she has given him that juice...  ::shakes head::  Thanks God he's fine.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE TRANSPORT IS NO SOONER COMPLETED WHEN SPARKS JUMP FROM THE TR CONSOLE...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*CO*: Skipper... we have a problem.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::looks around for girl::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie>: CO: Whoa...we have a major malfunction in the transporter room.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::hates that word::  *TR Chief*:  Report!

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<McCann>::Keeps his eyes on the tactical readouts.::

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*CO*: Transporters are down.  Must have been something overlooked.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::motions to Moondoggie to wait until he can listen to the TR Chief::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Draws her phaser and quickly takes a defensive point, looking around.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks over at Moondoggie:: Moondoggie: Did the away team arrive on the Darnell safely?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::spots the little girl huddled and slowly  moves over to her, holding her hand out::  Little girl:  We won't hurt you.  It's okay.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Self:  Damn it.  FCO:  Have an Engineering team checking it on the double.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::whispers::  CTO:  Harker...lower your phaser, please. ::makes a downward motion with her hand::

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*CO*: Sure it's goin' to be awhile before this is usable Captain sir.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Moondoggie> FCO: Checking....whew...yes ma'am...looks like they all made it in one piece.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@<Crewman Korel>::Takes up a defensive position with his phaser out looking around, he reports to Harker all is well so far.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*TR Chief*:  Understood.  An engineering team will take a look at the problem.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: Yes ma’am. ::Lowers weapon but keeps it ready.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: On it sir. ::taps her badge::*Eng*: We need a team to transporter room one now. Emergency status.

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE GIRL ON THE DARNELL IS SAYS NOTHING... JUST STARES AT THE AWAY TEAM MEMBERS THEN RETURNS GAZE TO THE BULKHEAD

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::shakes head::  Self: Great, that's all we needed right now, a transporter malfunction.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@CMO:  Is she healthy?  ::still keeps a hand held out towards the little girl, slowly moving closer to her::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@:: arrives in engineering of the Darnell to the clatter of EO little hitting the deck having materialized with one foot off of the steps to the core, looks at the man on the floor::  EO Little : If you can get your feet under you ensign please check the warp core while I check the reactors.

@::walks towards girl:: little girl: I am a doctor and this is a medical tool its going to let me know if you are ok

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Thinks to self, what happened to this girl?.::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::begins scanning the girl::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Keeps one step behind the Doctor.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::looks at the little girl and at the bulkhead she's staring at wondering if there was something there.  Runs her tricorder around the area::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@<EO Little> : Yes sir  :: walks over and begins checking the warp core ::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@Little girl:  My name is Tessa...what's yours.  ::gets near enough to touch her arm lightly and kneels down beside her::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@XO: There is nothing medically wrong with her.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Moves to near the XO, trying not to seem too overwhelming to the child.::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@::walks over to the main display and begins checking power generation ::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::continues to monitor the sensors::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Have the Gryphon ready for departure as soon as the Away Team is finishing their job.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@Little girl: It looks like you are one healthy girl.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::hears the tactical officer nearing::  CTO: You might keep a little distance until she relaxes.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@<Crewman Korel>::Checks out the room, keeping an eye on the CEO.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  You're going to bring them back.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: Yes ma’am.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::smiles:: CO: Yes sir.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::wonders why she's smiled, returns to his chair::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@XO: Ma'am...I can't find anything wrong here.  I'm going to head up to the bridge and see what their records say.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Thinks to self, "as my dad used to say, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get me." but she backs up, looking around the room.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Commander Jakiel, what is your status?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::prepares a hypo spray to help calm the girls nerves::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@Little girl: This is some medicine to help you feel better.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::nods to the CMO in confirmation.  Shakes her head and frowns:: All:  I'm not sensing anything from her...nothing at all.  Little girl:  That's a very pretty dress you have...were you all dressed up for a party?  ::inches nearer until she is close enough to lay a hand on her shoulder::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::calls the shuttle bay::*SB*: Prepare the Gryphon for immediate departure. I will be piloting her myself.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<McCann>FCO: Will you require escort Ma’am?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::injects hypo spray into girls arm::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
McCann: No, I think I handle this one on my own. ::smiles::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::hesitates to answer the captain, but hits her combadge slowly and lightly:: *CO*:  I'm attempting to speak to the girl, but so far she seems to be traumatized or something.  I can't sense a thing from her.

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE GIRL MERELY LOOKS AT THE CMO

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@XO: I gave her something to clam her nerves

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::heads cautiously out to find the bridge scanning as she goes. Reaches it and sees that there is nothing wrong but no people:: Self: What the heck is going on here? ::feels creepy up on the bridge by herself::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Very well.  Proceed.

Host Tim says:
@<Girl>::Looks at the injection site and almost smiles::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Ensign Kell, this is Captain MacLeod.  Report.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*XO*: Ma'am.....I'm on the bridge and there is no one here...or anywhere as far as I can tell.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: I better go check on Ensign Clooney no one should be alone here.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@Little girl:  Are your mother and father on this ship?  ::is very puzzled by the girl's reaction to the hypospray.  It seems abnormal::  *CO*:  Yes sir.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::runs another scan to see if medicine is helping at all::

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*CO*: Captain sir.  I've sent someone to the check the transporter pattern buffers... seems that's the problem.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@*CO*: Yes captain, I am in engineering with my assistant and one of our security people.   I have been unable to find any problems with the Darnell.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::looks up at the Harker::  CTO:  Could you go with OPS and see if you two can find anything on the bridge?  I think we're safe here.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at Cassie, it matches with the sensor readings::  *CEO*:  So the ship is fully functional?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::starts to download the data from their logs and notices something odd.  Stops and goes back over the record again and repeats the process:: Self: Wait a minute...this can't be right... ::rechecks the records::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: Yes ma’am, please don't go anywhere alone.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Leaves to go to the OPS officers location.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Check with Engineering and have someone assisting the Chief in TR.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*: I see.  No bodies or anything?  No blood stains or signs of violence?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@XO: According to my readings she has all normal human life readings.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@*CO*: Yes captain the ship is space worthy although it seems to be suffering from a personnel shortage.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::gulps and stands up and hits her comm badge:: *XO*: Ma'am....I have to talk to you now.  And I mean now...alone.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<Crewman Korel>::Is happy nothings gone on yet, continues to keep a high vigilance, eager to do well on this Away Team.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: I had engineering send a team to the transporter room some time ago.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@CTO:  I won't.  It doesn't seem she wants to go anywhere either.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: But I'll check again. ::shrugs::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Then tell the Chief to proceed with the repairs; I want the transporters back online ASAP.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<edit place last for CTO, @::nods at XO and leaves.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::stands up:: *OPS*:  Alone?  All:  Watch the little girl, please. I'm going to be just outside the room.  ::walks out into the hallway::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  So it seems from where we stand...  keep digging, Mr. Kell.  MacLeod out.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*TR Chief*: Chief status on the repairs?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*:  Alright, Mia, what's the matter?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@little girl: what is your name?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@<Crewman Korel> CEO: No clues yet Sir?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@:: checking over the systems on the Darnell is stopped by the readouts on the replication capacity of the ship:: *CO*: One thing of interest captain, according to the readouts it would seem that this ship has replicating capacities far exceeding any I am familiar with.

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*FCO*: Ma'am, Yeoman Suffie said the entire palate blew.  We have to rebuild it piece by piece.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::downloads the data onto her PADD:: *XO*: Ma'am...I've accessed their records and everything is fine...except for a one minute gap where the crew disappears...and this little girl is alone in those quarters.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*TR Chief*: Give me a time estimate.

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*FCO*: Two hours... maybe a bit less.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*XO*: The thing is...there is no record of her being on board before the crew disappeared.  Nothing at all.

Host Tim says:

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<McCann>::Continues to keep the Tactical Department in top readiness.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*: They all just vanish?  By transporter?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Scientific purpose, perhaps?  Can you access the logs and see if there's anything unusual?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@::looks at the crewman:: Crewman: Clues are for detectives crewman.  But I can find no reason for this ship to be stopped, other than it is unmanned of course.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Arrives on the Bridge.:: Clooney: Mia anything on your end? All we found is some odd child in the crew quarters...

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*:  I better let the captain know. I think we should get off the ship now, then.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*XO*: There is nothing to indicate how they vanished.  One minute they are here...the next gone.  The thing is...that little girl isn't what she seems...::sees the CTO and curses::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::overhears the Chief's report and nods to the FCO::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::sighs if only I could get her back to the ship to run detailed test::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*TR Chief*: Get anyone you need on that repair. Let's try for one hour shall we?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@CTO: Who is with the Commander and the Doc?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::turns to Mackie:: CO: You heard?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*:  What do you mean?  What is she then?  Do you know something else about her?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@<Crewman>CEO: Well I am sure you'll find it Sir. ::Looks around the room, keeping an eye out.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles at the FCO request::  FCO:  Aye.  I like the way you think.  ::winks::

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>*FCO*: ::sighs:: Of course ma'am... as you wish ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@Clooney: There's a security crewman with the CEO in their Engineering.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*XO*: Ma'am...there is no record of her being on board before the crew's disappearance.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*OPS*:  Alright, I'm speaking to the Captain now, then.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@Clooney: In face soon as you're done here I'd like to rejoin them...something about this kid.. ::she shrugs.::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::begins to scan the rest of the quarters for signs of what might have happen::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Nods to the Ops officer and goes silent for Mia's report to the Captain.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*CO*:  Sir?  I think it might be best if we vacate this ship.  Something is very wrong here.  The Darnell's crew disappeared abruptly and I'd rather not have us go the same way.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Very well.  If the ship is functional, we'll be able to take it back home.  Stand by.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@CTO: Get back there with them...that girl isn't on the manifest...there's no record of her being on board before the crew disappeared.  I got a feeling she knows something or is part of the crew's disappearance.  Don’t leave the XO or the Doc alone with her.  I'll try and get more information out of the computers here.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::calls for Ensign Rien to come to the bridge just in case::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Is torn:: Mia: You shouldn't be left alone either.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@*CO*: Of course sir.  I will begin flight system power up at your command.

Host Tim says:
<TR Chief>::can be heard yelling in Main Engineering over comm to Yeoman Snuffie about his ancestry and the time he has to fix the transporters::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  What do you mean?  There must have been at least transporter signatures other than ours over there.  Are you telling me you have not detected anything?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@CTO: Go...I'll be fine.  I can probably shoot better than you. :;grins and pushes her towards the door:: but the XO won't believe the kid is dangerous...she's a sucker for kids.  Watch her back.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::checks on the escape pods:: CO: Well they didn't use the escape pods.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::walks back into the room and over to the little girl, standing looking down at her, then bends over and takes her hand::  *CO*: No transporter signals on record in the Darnell's logs.  This little girl just appears suddenly.  She wasn't part of the crew.  ::looks into the little girl's eyes, trying to sum her up::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::finding nothing goes back to the little girl::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Scan for any temporal wakes, anything that can explain what happened to that crew.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Looks at her friend and fishes out a flash bang.:: OPS: Here just in case, just pull the pin and throw...oh and don't look...as soon as you're done here follow me, that’s an order.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Scanning again sir.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@CMO:  I think you should stand away from us until we can get back to the Dublin.  ::picks up the little girl::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@CTO: All right...now go.  Hurry....I don't like them left alone with that kid.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sighs::  *XO*:  You feel the Away team is endangered?

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@<EO Little>CEO: Sir the ship is ready to go.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Nods and heads back to the XO's location.::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@*CO*:  Since the entire Darnell crew vanished, yes sir, I do.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
<McCann>::rubs his eyes wearily as he continues to keep a vigilant watch.::

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE GIRL'S HEAD SLOWLY TURNS LOOKING AT THE ROOM'S DOOR.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::goes back to the records again and stops the video right before the crew disappears.  Forwards it frame by frame studying each one carefully.:: Computer: Locations of the Darnell crew?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::taps the scanning controls:: CO: Well lookie here......I missed it the first time Captain. I'm detecting a small ripple in space, barely discernable.

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@XO: Aye ::takes a few steps back but keeps scanning watching for any change in the girl’s life signs::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Very well.  Commander MacLeod is taking the Gryphon to bring you back.  She will be there in a few minutes.

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@:: looking up at the EO: EO: Very good, please man one of those consoles and begin a preflight systems check.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::looks in the direction of the door::  Little girl:  Is there something out there?  ::walks slowly nearer the door::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Is halfway to the XO's location.::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@<Little> :: salutes:: CEO: Aye sir.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
*CO*:  Excellent.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sees Rien enter the bridge:: Rien: Hi Cali. Please take the helm.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*XO*: I am returning to you, Ensign Clooney is secure on the bridge and will be following me shortly.

Host Tim says:
@<Girl>::Looks up at the XO then back at the door::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::recalls his time as CSO::  FCO:  Try narrowing the EM band.  What do you have, a ripple?

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::moves close enough to the door so it's activated to open::

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE GIRL REMAINS MUTE

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Arrives back in the room and notes the XO holding the child.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Yes sir, very small, but definitely there. See? ::points to the scan::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Well, be fast... and careful.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: Perhaps I should take her Ma’am?

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: AS THE DOOR OPENS THE GIRL GRAPS XO'S NECK TIGHTLY

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Cali will handle things here. I'm on my way.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO_Rien:  Please show me the sensor reading... where is the ripple?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:;heads for the lift and blows her husband a kiss::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@CTO:  That's alright.  I don't want to frighten....  ::is startled by the girl's action and backs up::  Little girl:  What is it?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@XO: Her vital signs are spiking; she is nervous about something.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@::Keeps her eyes on the child.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Here Captain. ::points:: You can hardly notice.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
@::gives a faint smile:: CMO:  I noticed...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::smiles at his wife and looks back at the console::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay and heads for the shuttle::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::sees that one frame is blank...the frame between the crew being there and disappearing::

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THERE IS A BRIGHT FLASH IN THE CORRIDOR AND BOTH THE XO AND THE GIRL DISAPPEAR

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO_Rien:  I see...  ::taps a few on Cali's console::  Moondoggie:  Enhance power to Narrow EM scanners.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@XO: Just be careful....::Eyes slam shut as the flash happens her body already propelling her forward to the XO's spot.::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@::begins scanning the area where the XO just disappeared::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::starts the liftoff sequence::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Shuttle Gryphon ready for departure.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO_Rien:  Good...  scan the ripple further.  Let's see if it has anything to tell us.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*All AT*:The XO just disappeared right in front of me in the presence of a small female child, all away team hurry up and report to my location.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#::starts to shiver.  Senses nothing but darkness and loneliness.  Starts to panic in such a sensory and psionically deprived....void::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Aye sir, scanning.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*FCO*:  Shuttle Gryphon, you are cleared for departure.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CO*: Captain the XO just disappeared in a flash of light.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*CTO*: Disappeared?  Hold on....I've got the internal sensors....scanning. ::brings them up and starts to scan the interior of the ship::

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@CTO: I am not getting any readings… it’s… she just vanished.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#Anyone:  Is there anyone out here!  Can anyone hear me?  ::desperately 'searches' for any mental signs::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
$::slowly moves the shuttle out of the bay and towards the Darnell::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::frowns::  *CO*:  What???

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*OPS*: Please Hurry Ensign.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CO*::Informs Captain of what just happened.::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CO*: I was three feet away, I was heading for her when she flashed.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#::panics badly as she hears something scuttling and clicking....like crab pincers snapping.  Tries to run and screams...::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@::frantically scans the ship and looks to see if there was video in the area the XO and girl were at::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@CMO: Are you sure? Nothing?

CMO_Ens_Rez says:
@CTO: Right before the XO vanished there was a spike in the girl’s vital signs; she was very nervous about leaving the room.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CMO*: Please send those readings to Clooney maybe she can help as well.::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CEO*: Ensign, are you alright?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Is there anyone who can take some readings?

Host Tim says:
<Yeoman Snuffie>*TR Chief*: It'll still take an hour chief no matter what you say about me mother.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CO*:Yes Sir the CMO just scanned the area she's got nothing but notes there was a spike in the child’s life signals that indicated she was fearful of leaving the room. That’s it.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#::breathes hard and finds its useless to move about.  Starts to listen more closely and finds the clicking has a rhythmic quality.  Hugs herself as she shivers.  The rhythm almost sounds as if it could be a language and she listens closer::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
$::moves towards the Darnell's docking port and slides the Gryphon into position::

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#::realizes she doesn't know where the little girl is and calls out to her::

CEO_Ens_Kell says:
@*CTO*: Yes Lieutenant.  Just getting this ship space worthy.  Can I be of service to you?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
$*CO*: Captain I have the shuttle in position.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CTO/CMO*:  I am sending to you some readings we've taken from a small ripple in space.  Compare the signatures and let me know if there is a match.  ::looks at Rien and motions to her, in order to send the data to the CMO's tricorder::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@*CTO*: Lieutenant, I don't see anything running exterior sensors.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CEO*: Didn't you get my message, the XO just disappeared in a flash of light this ship isn't safe. Hurry your job and report to my location.

XO_LtCr_Jakiel_OMallory says:
#::tries to hear if the noises are getting closer::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
@Self: Come on...come one....Tessa where the hell are you?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
@*CO*: Thank you Sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien> ::nods and transmits the data::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*FCO*:  Stand by...  something has happened, Tessa has vanished.

Host Tim says:
