ACTION: The crew stands arrayed around the two Timroks.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::takes a deep breathe, having come to a final decision::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ ::Sitting with the CMO in the "lounge"::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I believe the best course of action is to restrain the CTO without the distortion field. I give you about 90% chance he is our alien

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Stands beside one of the CTO's, he watches the other CTO with interest:: All: Well?

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> ::The one with the distortion field:: ALL: I believe that is the proper course of action ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 2> ALL: I don't ...

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
XO:  I am inclined to agree with the CSO

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: But I don't think he should be taken by local authorities, Starfleet probably has the best facilities to ... observe it

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: well that’s the one if your 90% sure

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 2> ALL: How can you say that? After all we've been through!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Earth Security> ::Stands by and listens::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Has also entered the room, listening with muted concern::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
security: take that one ::points to the one CSO recommends::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Earth Security> XO: Aye, sir. ::Move to take #2::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@::stands quietly outside the lounge, listening::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::opens her mouth to answer to CTO-2 but then glances at Sarah::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 2> ::Frowns and considers struggling, quite sure that the crew has fallen under the influence of the alien somehow::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::talking with a low voice:: Sarah: Are we doing the right thing?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CO hears the continued discussion between Marshall & Zaris about her staying in Starfleet ... and on the Elara.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Silently:: CSO: Maybe ... maybe not ... I'm not sure ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> CSO / XO / CIV: Does this mean I can be released now?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Sarah: If you are not, how can we assume to be? ::sighs turning to CTO-1::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 2> ::Begins to sweat, getting more and more stressed ... and suddenly::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
XO:  May I suggest that we have the both taken in.  Don't want to get the wrong one.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A burst of blue energy swallows the 2nd CTO, revealing the alien which struggles to break away from the security personnel.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO-1: More or less, would you mind spending the next day with us ... the whole time? I am sure Maor can help me keep you company

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> CSO: As long as there is drink to be ha -- ::Stops as the alien appears::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::turns to the blue energy:: Security: Don't let it escape!!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A high-pitched squeal is uttered from the being, although from where is unknown ... there is no apparent mouth on the alien.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Earth Security> ::Are succeeded in holding the alien at bay::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV/XO: Is it calling someone?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The obviously distressed being begins to calm down ... looking around with its pale eyes.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::shakes her head looking at the alien::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Covers her mouth with her hand for a moment in shock::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Sarah: what is it?

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> ::Looks disoriented for a moment ... as if coming out of sleep::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
 ::Narrows his eyes as the alien appears:: All: Just great. ::Studies the alien:: CSO: The UT doesn't seem to recognize it. I have no idea. But I would assume so.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> CSO: Nothing ... just a bit shocked.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CTO 1: you are free, are you alright Timrok?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: It is strange but I almost feel compassion for it, I'm not sure why

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Looking a bit disheveled, she enters. Gasps as she sees the alien:: ALL: That thing attacked me! It knocked me out!

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> XO: I believe so ... sir ... for some reason I'm remembering things I didn't before ... like experiences which were had by the alien ... ::Gestures to it::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Ens Raythan: It is under restraint now, won't hurt you anymore

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Ens Raythan: are you alright?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
 CSO: That might be his nature, maybe it's some sort of feeling he's emitting. We can't discard anything.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Trying to straighten out her hair, looking at the being:: CSO / XO: I'm fine ... I guess.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO-1:Then can you tell us ... what does it want?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I prefer to think it is not that easy to play with my emotions

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok - 1> CSO: I don't know ... it seemed to have my memories, but none of its own. Like ... it copies us or something ...

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@::kicks slightly at the ground, listening::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CTO's words, he glances back at the alien and sighs:: CSO, CTO: That would make sense, just think about it.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: Like a Borg of memories? It can not develop its own so it assimilates ours?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: CSO: No, I don't think that's it.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::shrugs:: CIV: I wish someone can find out

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
All: yeah the question is why was it here with us at the Gomes residence, pretty strange and specific location it knew?

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Cmdr. Timrok> CIV: Actually, that's what it feels like ... but I'm not sure.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I'm starting to think we are a magnet to these strange events

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: That might be so, but I doubt you can consider it assimilation. More like sharing of memories.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The alien somewhat slumps to the ground, it's still conscious ... but even more so distressed.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: I wonder if there are anymore of its kind

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@::rubs her neck::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: probably the Elara's crew does have that effect for some reason

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::stands back and watches as events unfold::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ Marshall: I'm not really cut out for this any more

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::silently watches the alien::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: I would assume so.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CMO: I've seen no evidence of that ...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Yes but hopefully not on this planet

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CEO: good work, get used to these events you will probably see more of it with this crew and ship ::smiles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ Marshall: your a very logical man.. I don't feel logical any more.. my only concern is Shane's safty.. but to be honest I doubt any were is safe.. 

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CMO: Then you want what is best for Shane?

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ Marshall: yes

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Even if that was the case I doubt it has any dark intentions, it seems more like a.. lost child.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::goes a bit nearer to the alien but not too much:: Alien: Can you understand anything we say?

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
XO:  That's comforting.  But it looks like I'll be with a good crew to meet these situations.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The alien just stares at the CSO.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glances up:: CIV: Yes exactly ::eyes the alien again::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: I don't suppose any of you have telepathic abilities?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Earth Security> XO: Sir, how shall we proceed?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Security/Sarah: excuse me for a moment I need to contact the Captain

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ Marshall: if I retire.. I can travel at random.. see the universe.. and maybe keep him safe..

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
Sarah: Dr Zaris does

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@::steps silently into the room::  Zaris:  Maybe, on the other hand, you could put him in more danger.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ ::Looks at the entering CO::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> CSO: And she's not here ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@::looks at the CO blankly::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: COM: Captain, this is Cmdr Wall, I am informing you that you have the real CMO there with you, we have the alien imposter here with us in custody, security is here with us

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ ::Quirks eyebrow at the comm. from the XO::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: it is difficult to ask you this after what happened but do you suppose you could mind meld with the alien?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@*XO* Understood Commander.  Have it brought to Security in Lisbon.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Security: take the alien to Lisbon

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up at the CSO's suggestion:: CSO: Are you sure that's safe?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::shakes his head:: CSO: Im sorry Alex but its out of the question

Host FM_Selan says:
<Earth Security> XO: Aye, sir. ::Lifts the alien up and opens comm.::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods:: CTO/CIV: I guess it will be up to some one else to find what It wanted from us

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: yeah it would be better, we are supposed to be on sure leave ::smirks::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@Marshall:  Good afternoon Mr. Marshall.  More recruiting efforts?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::feels a little confused::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Earth Security group along with the alien are beamed away to the Security Command Center in Lisbon.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Shore leave? I hate it, any chance to do something useful is great

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CO: Actually, Captain, I was trying to convince your Doctor not to do something which she'll later regret.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: the way you and the other were taking in your drinks just a little bit ago tell me otherwise

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Grateful the CTO didn't convince her to drink more earlier::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: Captain, security is on its way with the real alien this time

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: So you're the new Chief of Engineering ... ::Still getting out of the post-alien haze::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@ Marshall:  Indeed.  I've been told the Doctor wanted to leave the ship.  ::Looks at her::  Without really giving me an explanation.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@*XO* Understood Bernie.  Lets see if we can get some answers this time.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ ::Stands:: CO / CMO: I'll leave you two to talk. There's an alien I wish to investigate ... ::Nods and exits::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@::folds arms and looks at the floor::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Yep that's me.  This is my first meeting with the crew.  The names Max.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: yes indeed sir, ::chuckles::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Smiles:: CEO: Leia.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: I suppose ::goes to a table a pours herself a glass of saurian brandy:: All: What do you say to a toast?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: a good idea, to the crew of the Elara ::holds up his drink::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@CO: you really should get back to the rest of the crew sir..

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Are you part of the Elara crew?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@CMO:  They can wait.  After all, they're on vacation, and so am I.

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::picks up a glass and raises it::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the XO raising her glass waiting for the others::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@CO: well you were invited to a party.. 

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: I'm from the medical department. Pretty much a newbie myself ... well, after all I've gone through, I guess not ...

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::taps other glasses and takes a sip::

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::reaches over & picks up a glass - copying the others::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Gets a glass, and joins in::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::taps the XO's glass last and then drinks the contents of the glass at once again::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Still kind of out of it, doesn't want to get a glass::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@ CMO:  Parties aren't as important as helping friends.  I learned that long ago.  ::points indicating he wishes to sit::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::taps the other's glasses and downs the contents of his::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::opens her eyes widely and coughs again ... still, this time wasn't so bad as the last::

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ ::motions to the chair across from her::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
All: now that that’s over for now, you are all ordered to relax and enjoy shore leave as well as this party

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CTO: Can I have a word with you?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::puts his glass back down again::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Waits for the CEO to wince:: CEO: Was it good?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO:I wonder if this was the last trouble of the evening

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::pauses:: CSO: er yes commander.. of course

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: hopefully for now at least

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Bored already? ::Smirks::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  At this point can't taste much have had quite a few so far tonight.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Chuckles:: CEO: Don't get yourself too drunk ... eventually we'll have to go back on duty.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@CMO:  I'll be blunt.  This is about Shane isn't it?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices they are not on a first name basis anymore:: CTO: Well commander ... I noticed you were not very happy with us when the alien duplicated you but be certain that we have always been your friends

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  True.  I think I may have just reached my limit.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Me bored? Never!

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ CO: some of it yes sir

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: Careful now, I don't think I brought any anti-hangover hypos ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Steps over:: XO: Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Sarah: yes?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: I know this is sort of sudden, but I was wondering if I could speak to you about me coming to stay on the Elara ... when it's been re-launched and everything ...

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Well as they say don't drink if you can't deal with it in the morning.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::still feels a bit muddled:: CSO: uhh, yes

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: Whoever "they" are ... they sound quite wise.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@CMO: Care to tell me the rest?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns:: CTO: You do understand that the alien duplicated you up to the subatomic level, your own mother couldn't tell the difference

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Sarah: hmm interesting all though it maybe sometime before the Elara is ready to launch...anyhow for what reason?

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Yeah it's kept me out of trouble before.  So how long have you served on the Elara?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CSO: i see your point, i didn’t mean to cause any offense ::looks a bit awkward::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: For a long while I served a sentient machine called Algernon in cataloging data and specific events in this Universe's history, we were few of many beings out there who do the same. You know I was responsible for trying to warn you all time and again about the entire ... well, crisis from earlier ...

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CSO: the whole experience was a bit mmm, i dont know how to explain it

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: For nearly a year now ...

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns at the CTO:: CTO: Well, maybe you can write up a report about it and help answer a few questions

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: ... although a good percentage of it was off the Elara.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: What did you think of this whole alien intrusion?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up from his drink, he studies the CSO:: CSO: What?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
CSO: i have a few questions of my own to answer first i think, excuse me. ::turns & heads away for some fresh air::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Sarah: are you saying you want to be a civilian observer and guest?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: ... there was a point where he didn't want to directly try to prevent what was going to happen to you, I wished to. So I left hhis services. That's when I became the "Oracle," when I decided to help you all with Syn Tech and everything thereafter.

CMO_LtCmdr_Zaris says:
@ CO: I just don't think.. I should raise him here in the federation.. plus.. I think it would be.. well I would server a better purpose to help rebuild a home world i never knew growing up..

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I was asking about your insights on the impact of having something duplicate someone you have known for a long time

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: Sort of, sir. In the end, I failed to prevent you all from nearly dying in your fight with the Bellicose. And now that I've shed my identity as Oracle, I sort of ... well, I don't have a place in the Universe. And I would like to.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glares at the CTO thinking it is better not to follow::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  From what I understand the entire crew has had a pretty rough past year.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Smiles faintly:: CSO: It's part of work, I guess.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> XO: I guess I feel I could find my place on the Elara ... as an observer, or whatever you all need me to be.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::finds a doorway & steps out taking a deep breath::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: Yeah, things have been rough. But we'll come out on top, we always do.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: But you are not working ... are you?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Sarah: well will have to see this doesn’t exactly fall under any specific Starfleet regulations for a starship, but I think it would be a pleasure to have you with us, but I will discuss it with the Captain to see what he thinks ok ::smiles::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Smiles:: XO: Thank you Commander ... Bernie.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: And since when did that stop things from happening, Commander?

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Sounds like I've been put in with an eventful group.  If your shoreleave is any indication.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::sinks his head into his hands & rubs his face - pushing his hair back & wiping some sweat away:: self: Joe what are you doing?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I suppose it doesn't, this afternoon was proof of that

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Sarah: after all you are one of the reason Starfleet is exploring and out here ::chuckles::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::refills her glass of saurian brandy::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CEO: Heh ... the last shore leave we had ... all that happened was a snowball fight.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he nervously glances away::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Smiles:: XO: I'm only human, sir, nothing special.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: It is just that, since we work on Starfleet we expect strange things ... when on duty ...Is something wrong?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances back quickly:: CSO: Well, I doubt this crew didn't see everything by now. And, no.

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Well it's good to know that things aren't always this exciting.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::feels a cold shiver down his spine:: self: brrr

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Laughs:: CEO: We try.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: You seam nervous, like you want to be somewhere else and not here. Well, believe me, there is plenty of strangeness out there for us to see. Now tell me, how is your relationship with Shane going? he has grown into a lovely kid

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: when we get together again, I would like to discuss something with you.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The cold shiver of the CTO's is punctuated by a child's voice ... "Heya Mr. Timrok."

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@CMO:  True, I suppose rebuilding Betazed is a noble cause.  And Betazed is much safer by all indications than a Starship, but I learned long ago that running from this ship only leads to a thought of what could be.  Shane would be safer here, among people who know him and are willing to risk their lives to keep him safe.  You cant get protection like that on Betazed. ::Stands and walks to the door::

 CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::turns around surprised to find the voice::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::smiles finally starting to relax again::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Stands behind the CTO with his hands clasped behind his own back with a smile:: CTO: Feelin' better?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: I'm afraid I don't get much time to see him. ::Sighs::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Doctor Zaris nods, and silently stands and walks with the Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Shane: yes thanks.. im fine, and you?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> CTO: I'm okay ... jus' explorin'. Wanna come explorin' wit' me?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Maybe you should make the time, especially now that Jan is thinking of quitting Starfleet

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: If she'll indeed leave then what's the point? I can't talk her out of this, can I? And that will mean she'll take Shane away. ::Frowns and leans back in his chair::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::can't resist the urge and picks up another glass::

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::Smiles:: Shane: i dunno wee man, I’ve been doing a lot of exploring lately, i think i need a break

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Tilts head:: CTO: Aw, okay. See ya later Mr. Timrok! ::Waves and goes back inside::

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::smiles to himself then fixes himself & re-enters the castle::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sits in a chair in front of him:: CIV: You can go after her and ask to participate in Shane's education

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Snorts:: CSO: What do I know about raising kids?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Raising children is in our genes, you learn by doing it

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::begins sipping at his new drink::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@::begins exiting the room::  CMO: Truth be told, I would rather have my children here, where I can control what happens to them, where I can rely on others I trust, rather than others I don't.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: You don't know what you're talking about, Commander. Trust me on that, I'm not good for Shane.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO/CIV: ::walk over to them after hearing some of there conversation:: Im sure the Captain is talking with her, she may not leave

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::glances up at the XO:: XO: Good luck for him ... she seamed pretty determined ::looks at Jan's badge::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up at the XO:: XO: She's as stubborn as they get, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@::heads down the hall towards the exam room::

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
::picks up a glass with something green in it::  Raythan:  Would you like a drink?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I am certain there are many things you and Shane can teach each other

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Suddenly, as children often do, is standing beside the XO / CSO / CIV:: All Three: Whatcha talkin' about?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Makes a face and holds up a hand:: CEO: No thanks ... I'm fine ... really ... ::Looks as if she could turn green::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO/CIV: she maybe just reacting to the way she feels from what we have just been through, which is understandable

CEO_Ens_Heller says:
Raythan:  Fair enough  ::sets the glass back down::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> CTO: How are you doing, Joseph? ::Walking up beside him::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO/CIV: it could be temporary...

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@CMO: Either way, the decision is yours.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Upon entering the exam. room, the CO & CMO find a bunch of Doctors looking over data coming from the alien who is laying silently on a bio bed. Zachary Marshall approaches them.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CO: Quite an interesting turn of events, eh?

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Sarah: I’ve had better days ::shakes his head - pours a shot & downs it quickly::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: Yes, I think it is that too, It can't be easy having a baby this way

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> CTO: Is this about the entire double thing? I wouldn't blame the crew for their actions ... they had no easy way to telling who was who.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@Marshall: Indeed.  What, or who is it?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Just as it wasn't easy for you either .. but it must be worse for her

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Sarah: yeah well... anyway how are you? ::pours another::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances down at Shane, he smiles briefly:: Shane: Nothing, who was watching you?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO/CIV: I felt the same way, when we got back to Starfleet, I just wanted to get away from anything Starfleet and left straight on shore leave when we arrived

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CO: The species is unknown. However, it does appear to be a shape-shifter of some sort ... most of the Doctors have theorized that it has no base personality, that it temporarily "duplicates" the personality ... and body ... of those it comes in contact with, as it has demonstrated.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ CO: It will believe that it is the person it touched until it transforms back ... apparently a residual effect, judging from what we learned from Dr. Zaris, is that those whom it takes identities from have a "connection" ... as such, they retain the memories of the alien's experiences while it does not.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices Shane talking to the CIV:: Shane: Hi there

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Giggles:: CIV: The Doctor with the spots, but I snuck away from him!

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
XO: I felt somewhat different too but it never crossed my mind to leave Starfleet. Now more than ever I know I belong in the stars

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::throws the second shot down his throat::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: but almost two weeks spent with my family friends and almost everybody Ive known at my parents home helped me, it was the treatment I needed

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Shane: You know better then that. ::Glances around:: Well, no harm done. ::Glances around for a moment::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sips her glass again, knows she will have a headache in the morning and just shrugs drinking again::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Leans on the CIV's leg:: CIV: You ok daddy?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@Marshall:  Lovely, so does it have a personality of its own?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::whispers to the CIV:: CIV: You have your chance now with him now ...

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances down at Shane:: Shane: Sure, I'm okay. ::Glances at the CSO, he frowns and glances down:: What are you up to?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Zachary Marshall> @ ::Looks at the CO & then at the CMO:: CO: Not at all, it seems. Poor thing. It will be taken back to the UFP headquarters for diplomatic security, and hopefully a way to find its home. Both: So, is everything fine now?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Doctor just gives Marshall a look, then glances beyond him at the still lying alien.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> CIV: Nuthin' ... want to play ball or sumthin'?

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods smiling to the XO::XO: That is good rest ... for most people. For better or for worse i am not like most people

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::downs a third shot - grimacing as he swallows it::

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles as he watches Shane talk to his father and listens to the CSO also::

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::drinks the last of her glass and pours some more saurian brandy onto it::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Shane: Ball? ::Smirks:: Sure.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Smiles big, and grabs his father's mighty hand [compared to him] to take him outside::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
@Marshall:  That’s up to the Doctor.

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: has Maor asked Shane what he wants, perhaps Shane would like to live on the Elara with his father?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Sarah> ::Watching him drink:: CTO: I'm fine. Just looking to find my place in the universe ...

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
Sarah: Join the club Sarah, join the club

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Fading out on the Elara crew who, in their own ways, are adjusting to recent events ... we return to Luna Negra, where Shinar, now dressed up in his black clothed plus leather trench coat outfit, has entered an apparently empty chamber.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Looks around as he pulls out one of his putrid jum-jah sticks, and lights it up. The purple smoke lifts upward:: Whoever you are ... come out ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Morosea Da> ::Steps out of the shadows, draped in a silky red billowing cape, covering her outfit:: Shinar: Fancy meeting you here.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Grins at the Gamleasian terrorist:: Da: Yeah ... I take it you're not the one who summoned me here. ::Gestures to the cape:: Kind of melodramatic, no?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Morosea Da> ::Rolls her eyes at him:: Shinar: Shut up. I didn't think you summoned me here either ... you're too pathetic.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> Morosea Da: Ooooh ... test --

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the familiar shadowed being voice calls out -- "Quiet."

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Both "villains" look to the shadows where a pair of glowing red eyes stares out at them, "You have come quickly. That is good. We have much to discuss ... much to plan ... and much to accomplish." Both smile, considering what they've been offered in return for their services ... and we fade out.
