USS GENEVA MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10208.16

Host Bob_SM says:
=/\==/\==/\=RESUME MISSION=/\==/\==/\=
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::At Tactical::
TO_Usimov says:
::continues scanning console for more information on light specs::
EO_Chapu says:
:: Rushes around ENG, trying to make ends meet, or at the very least, parallel ::
CEO_Stricker says:
::Is on the bridge and at the ENG console on the Geneva::
CIV_Jacobs says:
::In Main Engineering trying to figure out what's happening::
OPS_Cailand says:
::continues working on her console, trying to continue hails with the power she has left::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: TINY PARTICLES OF WHAT APPEAR TO BE LIGHT HAVE INVADED THE GENEVA THROUGH OPEN WARP NACELLE EXHAUST VENTS
CO_Eden says:
CEO/OPS/TO: Any luck getting rid of those specks?
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE SPECS HAVE MADE THEIR WAY INTO LOWER PORTIONS OF THE GENEVA.
CMO_Tunik says:
::standing not too far from the hatch he just exited:: CO: Captain, I believe I have a theory and where they are headed, and why.
TO_Usimov says:
CEO: Do you have any reading on those specs?
EO_Chapu says:
CIV:  Comdr. Jacobs, have we sealed the Warp Nacelle Vents?
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: I have shut off many sections of the ship in the hopes they won’t infiltrate our primary systems sir.
XO_Shras says:
:: In the executive officer’s chair near the middle of the bridge, trying to figure out what exactly is happening ::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Monitors sensors::
TO_Usimov says:
OPS: What about you?  I am still not getting anything definite.
CO_Eden says:
CMO: Let's hear it Doctor.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE SPECS ENCOUNTER CREWMEMBERS OF THE SHIP, THEY TIE THEM UP WITH WHAT APPEAR TO BE RIBBONS OF ENERGY
OPS_Cailand says:
::shakes her head negatively:: TO: Checking again...
CIV_Jacobs says:
EO: No, haven't been able to do anything.  Power is being lost everywhere.
CEO_Stricker says:
TO: The sensor could only indicate that they are made up of light. I still need those sensors to be fixed as they almost shut down on me.
OPS_Cailand says:
TO/CEO: I just attempted again, but to no avail.
OPS_Cailand says:
TO/CEO: And power continues to diminish..
EO_Chapu says:
:: Attempts to re-route power flow around the affected areas ::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE CREWMEMBERS WHO BECOME ENSNARED CANNOT MOVE AND VOICES ARE MUFFLED
TO_Usimov says:
OPS: Thank you.  It doesn't seem that they are harmful.  They are capturing our people and tying them up - but they are not harming them.
CO_Eden says:
::Stands waiting for their theories and solutions::
CNS_Bauer says:
::On the bridge, phaser at the ready::
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods in agreement:: TO: Yes, it is reported they cannot speak well or move.
CMO_Tunik says:
CO: I believe these beings are looking for a new energy source. Since they are energy beings in themselves, they need a large quantity of energy. They use up energy every moment of their existence. In short, they're looking for food.
CEO_Stricker says:
TO/OPS: We could try trapping one and sending it over to Biology but I'm not sure if anyone if there would be of help.
CO_Eden says:
*CIV*: Eden to Engineering.  Has anyone spotted the light beings in your area?
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: HOWEVER, THE ENSNARED CREWMEMBERS GET A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF WHAT THE SPECS ARE, AND AS THEY DO, THEIR EYES WIDEN
TO_Usimov says:
CTO: The console here even seems to be going in and out with the loss of energy.
CMO_Tunik says:
CO: It is a well known fact that humanoids create large quantities of energy to run their own bodily functions. This could be why the beings have put the crew in their "webs".
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: If they know enough to restrain possible threats, wouldn't that make then sentient beings?
TO_Usimov says:
CEO: That is a good idea.  I think we can have one of the Alpha team see about capturing one of them.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: I noticed they seem to have a taste for energy.
EO_Chapu says:
:: Trips over one of his Engineers, as she is laying on the floor, fixing parts inside the panel ::
OPS_Cailand says:
::frowns:: CEO: I do not believe there will be sufficient power to accurately contain one of these...specks. I could attempt rerouting..... ::trails off, as it is mostly a futile attempt::
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Like I just old the TO and the OPS, we could try trapping whatever has infiltrated the ship and try to sending it down to Biology ma'am!
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: I wonder if they might not be attracted to the warp core?
CO_Eden says:
CMO: So far we haven't seen them actually harm any crew.  They only restrained them.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: THE SWARM OF SPECS APPEARS TO HAVE A FINITE NUMBER, BUT THEY STILL SPREAD OUT ENSNARING MORE AND MORE OF THE CREW
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Is communication with them not a possibility? Could it be explored?
CEO_Stricker says:
OPS: Well that is a good idea but I’m not sure how much power you'd be able to reroute to Science or even Engineering for that matter
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: They are definitely attracted to that.  That was one of the places they went first, and they have most of the crew down there tied up.
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Goes over to an Engineering console and monitors the power drain::
OPS_Cailand says:
CEO: Yes, my point exactly. Especially with systems as they are now...
CO_Eden says:
CNS: We can't be sure that they see us as threats.  Communication of any kind has yielded no results... and we still haven't gotten a clean scan on them.
CMO_Tunik says:
CO: Since this is only a hypothesis, I will have to investigate with a physical appearance. They could be holding the crew as reserves, in case the warp core does not fill their appetite. However, this is only a hypothesis.
CEO_Stricker says:
OPS: In my opinion the two most critical of systems is Environmental control and life support. Without you getting more power to those systems, we all goners.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: Have there been any attempts at freeing them or is communication possible with the ensnared crew?
EO_Chapu says:
:: Still attempts to divert the power through the systems, but he barely manages to keep up with the drain ::
OPS_Cailand says:
::raises an eyebrow briefly:: CEO: I believe that is a very accurate statement::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: So communication has been attempted.
CNS_Bauer says:
SELF: Ok
CO_Eden says:
*CIV/EO*: Engineering... your report?
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: Communication is not possible because of the loss in power.  We did try to communicate with them and also with an outside ship but to no avail.
CEO_Stricker says:
OPS: Thank you Lieutenant. If the CO gives us permission, then and only then we can send something to Biology
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: About in person?
CO_Eden says:
CMO: So you believe they're sentient?
OPS_Cailand says:
::thinks to herself: I would just as soon send someone down to capture it physically..... But that would be a futile attempt as well::
CIV_Jacobs says:
*CO*: Still unable to even figure out what is causing this power drain... but I'd be willing to bet it's those specks.
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: we have not tried in person as yet.  Do you think we can send one of team Alpha to see what they can find out?
EO_Chapu says:
*CO*: Captain, we are barely keeping up with the draining of power.  We are attempting to keep Environmental and Life Support up and running, ma'am
CNS_Bauer says:
CMO/CO: They seem to have some kind of intelligence as they are working as a team.
CMO_Tunik says:
CO: It is a strong possibility. However, even the most basic of lifeform needs to feed.
EO_Chapu says:
:: Checks the Environmental and Life Support systems ::
CO_Eden says:
*CIV/EO*: Understood... keep your eyes out for those specks.
CMO_Tunik says:
::nods:: CNS: Correct.
CIV_Jacobs says:
*CO*: Aye sir.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: That would be a good idea; have Alpha team meet me engineering.
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Like the CIV and EO said, we do not much power in life support and environmental control, can OPS reroute anything to compensate those systems ma'am?
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: Yes, sir - I will have them meet you.  You be careful
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CO: Sir, permission to lead a team to go to engineering to see if we can’t get in touch with the crew that are tied down?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I suppose a telepath made the attempt to communicate with them.
CO_Eden says:
::Pauses turning to all her officers on the bridge:: All: Have these beings displayed a certain distinct energy pattern?
TO_Usimov says:
::taps combadge:: Team Alpha, please meet CTO_Asmodeius in engineering, he would like to see if you can reason with these light specs.
TO_Usimov says:
Team Alpha: He will fill you in when you meet him.
OPS_Cailand says:
::taps a few controls:: CO: Yes ma'am, I believe they have.
CO_Eden says:
CTO/TO: Permission declined.  A medical team has already been sent.
EO_Chapu says:
:: finds that the systems are barely above minimum levels ::
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Our sensors only show that they are made from light, as the theory of relativity suggests so the are more relative then anything
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CO: Ok sir.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: Tell the team to aide the medical team.
TO_Usimov says:
CO: Thank you, sir.
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: I will do that sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
SELF: Light? So how do we pull the plug?
TO_Usimov says:
::taps combadge:: Team Alpha: A slight change in plans, please meet the medical team who will fill you in.
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Feels helpless... wonders what IS causing this::
CO_Eden says:
::Hearing OPS:: All: If they do display a distinct pattern, would it be possible to wipe them out with a wave in direct opposition to that source?
OPS_Cailand says:
::tightens her jaw muscles out of pure frustration....this is NOT cool...::
EO_Chapu says:
:: continues to re-route power to the Environmental & Life Support while thinking of ways of getting these . . . energy things out of commission ::
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Unless we contain one, there isn't much our sensor can tell us, only the direction and path they are moving at.
CNS_Bauer says:
SELF: Water? No oxygen? Turn off all power like we are dead? No more food they go look for another restaurant.
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Some kind of beam, modified would do that.
OPS_Cailand says:
::pauses, furrowing her eyebrows in thought:: CO: I concur with the CEO. I believe this will be possible.... though generating the energy that may be required could be.... troublesome.
CO_Eden says:
CEO: And at this point, I'm assuming we don't have enough power to generate that kind of beam...
EO_Chapu says:
SELF: hummmmmmmm. . . . Wonder if it will work,
CMO_Tunik says:
::blinks considering the possibilities:: OPS: Lieutenant. ::Walks to Ops console:: Is it possible to transmit a message using the same energy signature as the beings?
CO_Eden says:
OPS/CEO: Could we modify the phasers?
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: There is a beam made from particles; some of the minor systems in the ship that don't use allot of energy.
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*: :: taps his com badge :: Engineering to Comdr. Stricker.
OPS_Cailand says:
::turns to the CMO, attention split between him and the Captain:: CMO: It’s plausible. I would believe that attempt would be less futile than..... ::raises an eyebrow at the CEO, offering that his guess is as good as hers::
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes ma'am, I could modify them just so that they'd burst our reverse particles.
OPS_Cailand says:
CO: I believe that would be easier than attempting to gain power from internal systems.
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Go ahead Mister Chapu!
CNS_Bauer says:
::Notices Cailand's frustrations:: ALL: hey everyone. I think we are doing great working as a team. Take a deep breath when you get scared of this thing.  We can get through this. Why? Because this is the Geneva and she has the best crew in the fleet.
OPS_Cailand says:
::waits for the CMO's response::
CO_Eden says:
CEO/OPS: Work on both the phasers and the internal systems.
OPS_Cailand says:
::glances at Zach, knowing that he is trying to do his job..... And surprisingly, his words help slightly::
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: So hang tough.
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods to the CO, and begins working on the controls, around the CMO a bit, though not too much::
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*: Commander, I just had a thought.  What if we shut all power down for a couple of seconds and then turn it back on.  That may turn the energy things off of us.
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes ma'am.... this won’t take very long especially with the right amount of power!
CMO_Tunik says:
OPS: Could you get working on that?
CO_Eden says:
::Walks past the CNS with a small smile and whispers:: CNS: Thanks.
OPS_Cailand says:
CMO: I will split my attentions, yes.
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: At this moment you'd loose too much life support and I can not risk that
OPS_Cailand says:
CO: Captain, if we shut down the warp core, perhaps the energy beings would leave the ship? It could be what is drawing them.....
CEO_Stricker says:
OPS: Get some phasers, we'll start making those modifications.
TO_Usimov says:
::whispers to CTO:: CTO_Asmodeius: Has anyone thought of totally turning off the lights, after all they like energy - maybe they will think we are "dead in the water"
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CO: Sir since they like energy and are light beings what would happen if we turn out the lights?
CMO_Tunik says:
::nods and walks to the captain:: CO: With your permission, I would like to run my medical tricorder over one of the trapped. Maybe, understand what is happening to them. They could be mentally linked to the creatures or there could be an energy drain like I hypothesized.
OPS_Cailand says:
CO: Or... at least power down what systems we can, so less energy is being radiated toward these beings.... if that is what they are attracted to?
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*:  Right sir.   Engineering out.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO/SELF: no problem
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Whisper back:: TO_Usimov: That was my thought too ensign.
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: VIRTUALLY ALL THE LIGHTING ON THE SHIP IS NOW DOWN TO A MINIMUM.... EMERGENCY LIGHTS GLOW EERILY RED
OPS_Cailand says:
::sighs quietly and continues working on her console::
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Mister Chapu, anything you throw my way is noted but you are not risking yourself down there. Find a solution that doesn't put you in danger.....
TO_Usimov says:
::wonders why the console is doing so much flickering::
CEO_Stricker says:
::Takes a phaser and start the modifications of the reverse beam::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE LIGHTS DWINDLE THE REMAINING CREW NOT SECURED BY THE ENERGY RIBBONS SEES SOMETHING AMAZING
CO_Eden says:
OPS: I'm considering it, but there's a remote possibility that the specks are feeding off the energy from the warp core.  With the core gone, all that's left is us.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Notices the flickers too::
OPS_Cailand says:
::blinks:: CO: I propose an entire...core shutdown.
EO_Chapu says:
:: takes most of the lighting off to move the essentials ::
CMO_Tunik says:
::notices all attention devoted to the Captain, imagines what it would be like to have six different people talking to him at once:: Self: That's why Captain Thorpe is in his mental state.
CO_Eden says:
::Sees that all the lights, minus the emergency lights, have failed and checks the flashlight on her arm::
TO_Usimov says:
CEO_Stricker: Are you able to learn anything more on these beings??? My screen is flickering.
OPS_Cailand says:
CO: We are mostly in the dark regardless, so powering down for a few minutes should not cause much difference, if the crew is warned.
CEO_Stricker says:
TO: The sensors are at lower power, but I can get some minor reading off of them, yes.
TO_Usimov says:
::looks sideways at Wolfgar and smiles::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: So shut down everything the EMH can revive the med crew who will do the rest of us. That’s if we pass out.
CO_Eden says:
CMO: I can't risk sending anyone else down there... is any of your staff in the vicinity?  Perhaps they could get a scan and relay it to you.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Returns Katerina's smile::
TO_Usimov says:
CEO_Stricker: What are your sensors telling you?  We can not get a good reading here.
CEO_Stricker says:
CNS/CO: I’m sorry but I would not shut down any systems, if there is an emergency we may not be able to bring those systems back on again
CEO_Stricker says:
TO: That those specks are made of light and energy and are relative in motion.
OPS_Cailand says:
::continues working on both the CMO's idea and with the modification of phasers::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Begins to get something on the old Betazoid brain wave::
CO_Eden says:
OPS: Divert as much auxiliary power as you can to a science lab, then begin core shut down.  That way, if I'm right, they'll be attracted to the science lab instead of our crewmates.
XO_Shras says:
CEO: I don't think it matters now, all systems are powering off by themselves
CNS_Bauer says:
::Stops dead and goes pail::
TO_Usimov says:
CEO: Thank you, sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Captain, wait, stop.
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: you are correct sir, my apologize Commander
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They are sentient.
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods and begins the core shut-down procedures, sending warnings out to the crew who can see them::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They have intelligence.
CO_Eden says:
CNS: Lieutenant?  How are you sure?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I just know
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Helps to prepare for shutdown of the warp core::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE LIGHTS GROW EVER DIMMER... THE SPECS BECOME LUMINECENT... WITH STREAKS OF ENERGY TRAILING EACH SPEC... AS IF THERE WAS AN ION TRAIL BEHIND EACH
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They are celebrating.... I sense joy and happiness from them.
EO_Chapu says:
:: Still diverts energy as he thinks of suggestions ::
CO_Eden says:
::Pauses, examining his reaction:: CNS: So why are they restraining us and draining the Geneva's power?
CEO_Stricker says:
TO: You're welcome
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I don’t know.
XO_Shras says:
CEO: No apologies necessary here, you gave us your expert advice and we gave you our decision....
CO_Eden says:
CNS: Can you communicate with them?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: But I don't think they mean us harm.
OPS_Cailand says:
::continues working, but listens to the CNS and CO::
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: Yes sir and I admire you decision Commander. I really do sir!
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I'm picking up something from them.
CMO_Tunik says:
CO: Captain, if someone were to get access to the shuttle bay, we could order a shuttle to emit energy and to fly away from the ship. If the energy beings do take the shuttle, it could self-destruct and take them with it.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Just triumphant jubilation.
EO_Chapu says:
CIV:  Commander, are we shutting down the Warp Core?
TO_Usimov says:
CNS: Are you saying that they liked the fact that we are shutting down the power?
EO_Chapu says:
:: sounds doubtful of living much longer as he asks that question ::
CMO_Tunik says:
::can't help but to over hear what the CNS is saying::
XO_Shras says:
CEO: What is the current status of the ship, any physical damage?
CO_Eden says:
CMO: Suggestion noted Doctor.  But we have more reason now to believe that they're sentient... I'm more inclined now to find a passive solution.
TO_Usimov says:
::wondering how that could be since they should thrive on the power::
CNS_Bauer says:
TO: I have no way of knowing why they feel how they feel, sorry.
CIV_Jacobs says:
EO: I think that is one of the options being considered.  So far I have not received the order to do so though.
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: Commander, many systems are inoperable or of minimum power.
TO_Usimov says:
CNS: You said you sensed they felt jubilation; that was what I was speaking of.
EO_Chapu says:
:: turns to the Warp Core and notices that some lights are being jettisoned from it ::
CMO_Tunik says:
OPS: Have you been able to establish a communications signal identical to their energy signature?
OPS_Cailand says:
CMO: I am growing closer, however nothing definite.
CO_Eden says:
CNS: You've given us the best insight into these specks so far. Try to communicate with them if you can.
CNS_Bauer says:
TO: Yes that's what I'm getting. But don’t you see if they are intelligent there must be a way to reach them.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Captain......
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: But.... ::Takes a look at his console:: Sir, there is an increase of ions coming from those specks sir....
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Listen to the conversation between his TO and the CNS::
EO_Chapu says:
CIV:  Commander? :: Walks towards the CIV ::  Do you see something being jettisoned from the Warp Core?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Oh man. They are happy because they are trying to conquer the Geneva
OPS_Cailand says:
::taps a finger for a moment and then looks up.... Zach has betazoid blood, but her mind is more focused.... hmm.....::
XO_Shras says:
CEO: Something they took on them or are they emitting them?
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: We are on their turf.
Host Ptuie says:
::Sends message for others to continue::
CIV_Jacobs says:
EO: Yes.. Odd.  Does an analysis of the specs::
TO_Usimov says:
CTO_Asmodeius: I wish this console would stop flickering, and then I could get more of a reading on these light sensors.
CIV_Jacobs says:
Self: Interesting....
Host Ptuie says:
::Specs flicker in response::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
TO_Usimov: I agree it makes it difficult to get anything in these conditions.
EO_Chapu says:
:: turns around and watches the CIV do his thing and the details to be displayed, dimly ::
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: They are emitting it sir.... ::Thinks:: I may be a suggestion. We need our engines to split our a reverse icon beam, that may be able to reverse those specs Commander
CO_Eden says:
::Face falls as she hears Lieutenant Bauer:: CNS: Looks like we'll just have to stop them then.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I think we need to play dead. Let them think they won. They will leave and we can make repairs and scram.
Host Ptuie says:
::specs seem to maneuver the ribbons::
XO_Shras says:
CEO: I was thinking more about tracking them, inside and outside the ship....
EO_Chapu says:
CIV: Turn down the Warp Core by 3% and do another scan, Commander.
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Taps Combadge::  *CO*: Sir, these specks... they appear to be ships of some sort.  Really advanced stuff as a matter of fact...
CO_Eden says:
CNS: What if they come back while we're making repairs?  Or maybe they won't leave at all? I think we have to try to stop them now.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They seem to be happy that we are losing power.
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: I may be able to modify that beam so it sends out ions and the pull of tractor beams send them back into space sir!
Host Ptuie says:
::Sends more comm to other ships via light flashes::
CO_Eden says:
*CIV*: What?  Say again?  I thought I just heard you say ships, Commander.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Hey councilor, need any assistance in communicating with our guests?
TO_Usimov says:
::thinking about what the CNS is saying::
Host Ptuie says:
::Seems to take forever to maneuver around the huge life forms::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: This seems to be working....why fix it?
CIV_Jacobs says:
*CO*: Maybe... not enough power to verify that for sure with sensors, but yeah... ships.
CEO_Stricker says:
::Over hears the CIV:: XO: Sir, if they are ships, then a  reverse icon tractor beam would be able to repel those ships from inside the ship Commander
CMO_Tunik says:
::understanding this:: Self: The small ships could be restraining the crew with advanced miniature tractor beams.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Just figured that two minds might be better then one and might just allow us to open communication with them.
EO_Chapu says:
*CO*: Captain, the energy of light seems to be tiny ships of some sort, possibly scout ships.  I can't tell.
Host Ptuie says:
::The flashes are at extreme end of energy and frequency scale::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Well give it a go.
CO_Eden says:
*CIV*: Since they're ships, do you think there's a way we could communicate with them through their systems?
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Ok lets do it, you lead as it where and I will follow.
Host Ptuie says:
::The ships zipped along almost past the visual spectrum::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Goes over and joins the CNS::
CIV_Jacobs says:
*CO*: I would guess so sir... but with our low power levels it's almost impossible to figure out how.  I'm sure they have a comm system though.
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: I’m getting a name
EO_Chapu says:
*CO*: Captain, they seem to be jettisoning from the Warp Core.
CMO_Tunik says:
::can imagine miniature humanoids with minds of 20th Century humans, almost shivers at the thought::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Jtuie? Think it's the leader.
TO_Usimov says:
::listening to Wolfgar and Zach::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Ok let me help focus that. ::Aides the CNS in attempting to communicate with the aliens::
OPS_Cailand says:
::catches the CMO's last thought and raises an eyebrow::
CO_Eden says:
*CIV*: Maybe if we shout really loud.
Host Ptuie says:
::Extends his sixth hairy leg to the far left console::
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: We need to modify the tractor beam ma'am.... these ships are made out of ion; we need to modify the beams to push out ion fields.
CO_Eden says:
CNS: Leader, Lieutenant?
CIV_Jacobs says:
*CO*: If they come near me, I can assure you that I will try that approach...
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: It's near a console somewhere.
TO_Usimov says:
OPS_Cailand: Have you noticed that these lights beams seem to be very tiny little ships?
OPS_Cailand says:
::raises an eyebrow and nods:: TO: Indeed I have.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: I think it starts with a B or a P councilor, not a J.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Rubs the back of his neck::
TO_Usimov says:
OPS_Cailand: They don't seem to be here to harm us, just want to use up our energy.
OPS_Cailand says:
CMO: I believe we may attempt communication with the same spectrum of light.....
OPS_Cailand says:
TO: Or perhaps, just observing us to see how....useful we are to them.
Host Ptuie says:
::Having opened a comm channel the rest of the guild increases speed::
EO_Chapu says:
:: moves back to the central console and checks the power of the Environmental & Life Support systems ::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: It’s Ptuie
CMO_Tunik says:
::nods:: OPS: Excellent Lieutenant. Let's get working on that. ::stands at her console::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: I agree that seems right.
CO_Eden says:
::Looks to the CNS and CTO who both seem to be speaking strange things that do make some sense... then realizes they both have Betazoid blood::
TO_Usimov says:
OPS_Cailand: I do not hope that is the case.
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods and begins working with the CMO on it::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Don’t you think playing possum would work.
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*:  ENG to Comdr. Stricker.  Commander, I estimate that we have roughly 25 minutes of power left.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: I agree that seems to be the way to deal with it plus if we could get a shuttle out it might hurry them along.
TO_Usimov says:
::nods thinking about what the CNS is saying::
Host Ptuie says:
::Notes the return flashes from the other ships and adjusts his course::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: They seem so petty and no to bright. It could fool them. They are quite self-satisfied and conceited.
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Ma'am, engineering report we only have 25 minutes of power left on the ship.
CO_Eden says:
OPS/TO: Where are they now?
CMO_Tunik says:
CNS: Some creatures, like humans in an early era, capitalize when their prey are wounded.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Agreed that is what I sense too.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CO: Sir, I suggest that we play possum sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: I want to try to talk to them. CO: May I?
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Thank you Lieutenant..... If anything happened to me I want you to know that you are the best officer I've ever served with.....
CO_Eden says:
CEO: Acknowledged.
CTO_Asmodeius says:
CNS: Good idea I will aide you all I can. ::Settles down for a deeper trance in order to aide the councilor::
TO_Usimov says:
CO: Sir, they seem to be down in engineering, but are working their way up to the bridge.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Could I?
OPS_Cailand says:
::attempts to track them:: CO: They are spreading up through the ship, though not too near the bridge.
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*:  Thank you, Commander.  I wish I could say the same with you, but all I can say is that you among the highest with me.
CO_Eden says:
CNS: By all means...
Host Ptuie says:
::Flies his ship in front of the CNS flashing external lights in annoyance::
OPS_Cailand says:
CO: At best... though my sensors are not very accurate.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Concentrates::
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~Ptuie..... Can we talk~~~
OPS_Cailand says:
::raises both eyebrows:: CO: Captain..... I take that back..... They are..... on.... the bridge....
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Deepens the trance and offers his strength to the CNS::
OPS_Cailand says:
::blinks and looks around slightly, confused, then goes back to her console, working diligently::
Host Bob_SM says:
ACTION: AS THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SPECS AND THE CREW OF THE GENEVA CONTINUES.. SENSORS HONE IN ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY SMALL STAR SYSTEM, ONE THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE MISSED IF THE GENEVA HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT WARP SPEEDS
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Well Lieutenant, know that everyday I wanted to give you the medal of honor.... if anything goes wrong, know that you deserve it and that without your help this department would be no where.....
Host Ptuie says:
::reacts from the mental contact and hovers his ship just off the CNS nose::
CO_Eden says:
All: Everyone on your... ::Turns to the CNS as she sees a line of light zip around him::
TO_Usimov says:
::OPS_Cailand: I see a new star system on my console::
OPS_Cailand says:
TO: I concur.
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~We are explorers on a mission of peace.~~~
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Sensors are picking up a small star system
OPS_Cailand says:
::sounds very surprised:: CO: Captain, we are detecting a very minute star system.
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~Why have you invaded our space?~~~
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Continues to give support to the councilor::
TO_Usimov says:
CO_Eden: Sir, There is a minute star system on my console at the present time.
CO_Eden says:
::Thinks:: OPS: Um... hail them?  If you can.
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*:  Aye, sir.  Always remember, if we are to die, we are to die in honor.  I believe that we will have some honor if and when we die here and now.
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~We did not know we were intruding~~~
OPS_Cailand says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: They are reacting to the Counselor. It would be futile for me to hail them.
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~The Lithipot Guild will not stand for these continued intrusions~~~
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~To prove it.... leave our ship and allow us to leave~~~
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Thank you Mister Chapu, are you the great and most honor filled warrior I've ever served with.... thank you for it
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Starts to sweat a little from the strain from the concentration needed to give the support::
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~Lithipot Guild? Let us leave?~~~
CO_Eden says:
::Turns to the CNS again as he looks at the ship nearly perched on his nose::
TO_Usimov says:
::notices Wolfgar sweating::
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~And how do we know you will not return to destroy us. That is the way of large predators.~~~
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*: And I you sir.
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Well Mister Chapu, find a solution, if not, die with honor and dignity. Good bye, friend.... Stricker out!
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~Your kind is constantly passing by disrupting our system, destroying ships~~~
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~Like I said we are peaceful explorers.... besides I've never lied to you. Don't judge us all by the actions of a few.~~~
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Can't stand any more of the... bonding between the EO and CEO::  EO: Maybe we should get back to work Lieutenant?
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~We could help you never to be bothered again.~~~
CMO_Tunik says:
::sits down and folds legs::
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~Never lied to me?!! We've just met~~~
OPS_Cailand says:
::looks down at the CMO and raises both eyebrows::
CMO_Tunik says:
::takes out a padd and starts working on his log::
EO_Chapu says:
CIV:  Commander, I am trying to think of solutions.  I'm sorry I was saying goodbye to someone in case we did go.
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~That's right we did just meet.... so let's be friends instead of enemies. You help us we can and will help you.~~~
Host Ptuie says:
::Pulls his ship back what to him is thousands of meters yet is now only 30 centimeters from CNS's nose::
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Looks up at the EO, then away again::
Host Ptuie says:
CNS: ~~~You are in charge? You can make such promises?~~~
CO_Eden says:
::Watches the ship intently::
OPS_Cailand says:
::sits back into her chair as well....there is nothing they can do. It is futile...::
CEO_Stricker says:
XO: ::says in a  sad voice after talking with the EO:: I think the only way we can get out of here is with that beam. If not there isn't much time left sir
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~ It can be different. It doesn't have to be war.~~~
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::Begins to sweat even more from the strain::
EO_Chapu says:
:: looks at the CIV, then shakes his head at him :: SELF: Doesn't even have much honor with him.
TO_Usimov says:
::checks console to see more of the small star system::
Host Ptuie says:
::His ships flashes intensely and the other ships stop stringing the ribbons:::
OPS_Cailand says:
::looks over at the CTO:: TO: Tell him that if he needs to break contact, I can take over for him easily without changing the support to the Counselor.
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~We have the power to protect this section of space so that none may bother you. Doesn't that at least peak your curiosity?~~~
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~My name is Zach and it is a pleasure to meet you Ptuie.~~~
TO_Usimov says:
::nods to Ops:: CTO_Asmodeius: If this is too much strain for you OPS_Cailand has agreed to take your place, it will not change the support for the Counselor.
Host Ptuie says:
::Flies virtually eyelash away from CNS's eye and the tiny figure inside stares at it::
OPS_Cailand says:
::watches the TO/CTO::
EO_Chapu says:
:: watches the monitor grow even dimmer ::
Host Ptuie says:
Zach: ~~~You command all these here?~~~
CEO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: This might sound like something you'd ask me, but how is everything?
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~No, but I assure you I speak for my superiors.~~~
TO_Usimov says:
OPS_Cailand: I did mention it, but he seems to be in a trance and can't even hear me.
Host Ptuie says:
Zach: ~~~You can speak for all the giants?~~~
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Gets frustrated at the power loss and slams his fist into the console::
CNS_Bauer says:
PTUIE: ~~~Yes.~~~
CO_Eden says:
CEO: Strange.  ::Motions to the ship and the CNS::  Then again, what's new right?
EO_Chapu says:
*CEO*: ENG to Commander Stricker. 3 minutes of power left.
CIV_Jacobs says:
::Looks at his hand, which is now covered in blood::  Self: Damn.
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: It is ok I talk for us all and you ain't it?
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Engineering report 3 minutes of power left....
TO_Usimov says:
::hoping the CTO and CNS do not totally wear themselves out::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: We are having a good conversation here.
Host Ptuie says:
Zach: ~~~Then we will try this one time.  Tell the others of your kind~~~
CEO_Stricker says:
*EO*: Acknowledged and reported Lieutenant
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: Yes, I feel strange too ma'am...
Host Ptuie says:
::Signals with flashes for the other ships to leave::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They agree to what I promised.
CO_Eden says:
::Nods:: CNS: I have faith in you.  Make sure they know we're peaceful explorers.
OPS_Cailand says:
::nods and stands, stepping over the CMO and walking over to touch the CTO's arm. She closes her eyes and begins adding energy to the link, as she was taught to do by the Minions....easier now...::
EO_Chapu says:
:: watches the clock count down ::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am
OPS_Cailand says:
::adds more strength to the link, letting the CTO back off a bit::
CTO_Asmodeius says:
::pulls out of contact as he feels the CNS pulls out and get up::
Host Ptuie says:
::Circles CNS' head three times and disappears::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: They're gone.
TO_Usimov says:
::sighs seeing they are all right::
CEO_Stricker says:
All: In case anything happens, it's been an honor serving with you all, and thank you!
CMO_Tunik says:
::ends log::
OPS_Cailand says:
::opens her eyes and walks back to her console, unphased..... stepping over the CMO again::
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: This ship is clean.
Host Bob_SM says:
THE LITHIPOTS GATHER AND LEAVE THE SHIP, DE-ENERGIZING THE ENERGY RIBBONS THAT SECURED MANY OR THE CREW ON THEIR WAY.
CTO_Asmodeius says
::Goes over to his seat and sits down heavily::
Host Bob_SM says:
