Host Bob says:
ACTION: THE CREW OF THE GENEVA IS STILL ON LIRIDIAN PRIME, WITH THE DRAGONOIDS AND THEIR RIDERS, LEARNING THE ROPES OF HOW TO PROPERLY FLY A DRAGONOID
Host Bob says:
ACTION: THE GENEVA HAS HAD TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM DO TO THE ATTRACTION OF THE ENERGY RIBBONS TO THE SHIP'S POWER SOURCES
CO_Eden says:
::Stands beside her dragon as she dismounts::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::lies on a sun warmed rock, happily sleeping::
Host Bob says:
ACTION: WREN LORIC AND HIS DRAGONOID EKEL HAVE JOURNEYED OFF TO OTHER SETTLEMENTS TO ENSURE ALL ARE READY FOR THE UPCOMING BATTLE WITH THE ENERGY RIBBONS WHICH WILL SOON COME FROM LIRIDIAN MINOR
Plenty says:
::looks back at the Captain and smiles:: CO: How did you enjoy the lesson?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Stands under his dragon's head looming high above him he takes a few images::
CTO_Usimov says:
::at the ready, knowing it is almost time to return to her perch on the dragonoid.::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::begins to have a nightmare about dragons and falls off of the rock with a thud::
CO_Eden says:
Plenty: I'll admit that it wasn't what I expected at all.
XO_Shras says:
:: Walks around, looking at the settings ::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO/PLENTY: I think it was the greatest experience in my life.
Plenty says:
CO: You learn quickly Captain. Now you must offer the dragon a reward. ::hands her a small sack of river pebbles::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::wakes up and looks around at the rest of the crew, rubbing her head::
CO_Eden says:
::Hearing Lt. Bauer's enthusiasm:: Plenty: Certain members of my crew are thoroughly enjoying the experience. ::Smiles::
CO_Eden says:
::Accepts the pebbles:: Plenty: I'm supposed to... feed him this?
Plenty says:
::turns to the counselor:: CNS: There will be many more such experiences if you desire.
CTO_Usimov says:
::takes some pebbles to feed her dragonoid::
CNS_Bauer says:
PLENTY: I welcome all challenges.
CTO_Usimov says:
<Self>: There is one in every crowd.
Plenty says:
::nods to the Captain:: CO: Yes. A reward for not throwing you off is always wise. ::smiles broadly::
CTO_Usimov says:
::wonders how the others are doing on the planetoid::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::grumbles and climbs back up onto her rock and curls into a ball::
CO_Eden says:
Plenty: Ah... understood.  ::Moves to the dragon and tosses a few pebbles upward, watching the dragon catch them::
CTO_Usimov says:
::holds hand out for dragonoid to take the pebbles::
CNS_Bauer says:
PLENTY: Any strategies you can give us when we go into battle?
CO_Eden says:
Plenty: I'm guessing that we can't have much time until the ribbons arrive.  What will be our next course of action?
XO_Shras says:
:: finding the place too hot for his liking, even a few degrees over the human standard is too much for someone from the cold plains of Andoria ::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::grumbles, twitches her ears and falls asleep::
XO_Shras says:
:: Moves to a place in the shadow ::
CTO_Usimov says:
::mentally runs a quick check of what is in the area::
Plenty says:
CO: When the time is near, Wren will return and tell you all what is expected of you.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Emulates others in feeding smaller stones to his dragon... kind playing a catch game with him::
CO_Eden says:
Plenty: But for now, we will rest?  ::Moves towards her team::
CTO_Usimov says:
::sees the Captain move towards her, and goes to meet her::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::lifts her head and gives the Captain her best "Grumpy cat trying to sleep" face::
Plenty says:
CO: You may rest, but be prepared to take to the air when my brother returns.
CO_Eden says:
XO/CEO/CTO/CNS: I think Wren Losic and his riders are almost ready to engage the ribbons.  You're all sure you want to do this?
CTO_Usimov says:
CO: Yes, sir, I am with you, I will do whatever is needed of me.
CEO_Stricker says:
CO: I am very sure Captain. It would be an honor.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Empathic sense has been tuned to this particular animal now that he knows where the source is::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: Never been ready for anything more in my life.
Host Bob says:
ACTION: A SERIES OF INCREASINGLY VIOLENT EARTHQUAKES BEGIN AS LIRIDIAN MINOR'S ORBIT BRINGS IT CLOSER TO LIRIDIAN PRIME
CO_Eden says:
CIV: Tlatoani, if your choice is to remain on the ground, I urge you to find a covered area with Dr. Tunik and Lt. Cailand.
XO_Shras says:
CO: Not going to let you go on that without following you closely...
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::flicks her ears back:: CO: Underrrrrrstood. ::thunks her tail on the rock::
CTO_Usimov says:
::trying to keep my balance as the planet shakes violently::
CNS_Bauer says:
::As the ground shakes he braces himself against the beast at his side, Grenador::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::digs her claws into the rock as the world shakes around her::
Plenty says:
::grabs onto her dragonoid's leg as the earthquakes hit again:: Self: Brother where are you? The time grows close.
CNS_Bauer says:
::They have become comfortable with each other and understand::
CTO_Usimov says:
::waits patiently for the violent shaking to subside::
Plenty says:
::turns back to the Captain:: CO: I fear you will not rest now.
CO_Eden says:
::Wonders where Wren Losic is, the quakes continue to intensify::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::slides off of the rock and heads for the cool shadow of the nearby cave::
CTO_Usimov says:
::knows the time is drawing near::
CO_Eden says:
Plenty: We're ready to go.
CTO_Usimov says:
::nods in the direction of the Captain, showing she is also ready for whatever might happen::
XO_Shras says:
:: stays calm as hell seems to break loose around, telling self that he must remain calm for the officers looking at him ::
Host Wren_Losic says:
ACTION: WREN LOSIC AND HIS DRAGONOID, EKEL, ARRIVE TO THE WARREN KEEP
XO_Shras says:
:: gets to his "assigned" dragon and rides it, ready to depart ::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Sees Wren and Ekel arrive....now the adrenaline starts to flow::
Plenty says:
::looks up to see her brother return:: CO: He comes. ::points to Wren::
Host Wren_Losic says:
:: arrives to the Keep, dismounts from Ekel, and turns him over to the handlers::
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::scoots away from the dragon::
CTO_Usimov says:
::watches Wren and Ekel coming toward them::
Host Wren_Losic says:
::walks to one of the warming fires, notes some of the quake debris and shakes his head::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Thinks about Goliath for a minute and wonders how jealous he'll be when he smells dragon on me::
CTO_Usimov says:
::waits for her orders::
Plenty says:
::moves over to her brother:: Wren: The earth moves again.
Host Wren_Losic says:
Plenty: It will soon be time... are they prepared?? The Ones, are worried they will have less than adequate riders to fight the ribbons
CNS_Bauer says:
::Moves over to Captain to await Wren's orders::
CO_Eden says:
::Breathes a deep breath and looks over to her dragon which sits nearby::
Plenty says:
Wren: The others are ready to follow you. I have watched them prepare and the Ones need not worry. ::smiles and nods to the Captain and her people::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Works hard to remember all he was taught::
Host Wren_Losic says:
::notes the Geneva's Captain is nearby and thinks it's time to relax, eat and drink... for soon, they will have time for none of those luxuries::
CNS_Bauer says:
CO: I think after this battle I will have a new appreciation for shields::
Host Wren_Losic says:
All: Everyone....   I have been to the other keeps, and I bring you good news... many are prepared for the challenge ahead, thought I fear all to many riders are young, and their dragons younger....
CO_Eden says:
::Smiles at the CNS:: CNS: Definitely Lieutenant.
CTO_Usimov says:
::listens carefully to what Wren says::
Host Wren_Losic says:
All: This is no easy task and there are still more dragonoids than riders, even with these newcomers... but it will have to be enough
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::perks her ears and listens to Wren::
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: The young have much to offer to make up for lack of experience, Sir.  
Host Wren_Losic says:
Counselor: Experience they will soon get, and hopefully, they will be able to tell their children's children
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: This is my hope too.
CO_Eden says:
Wren: What should we do for now?  ::Wonders if it is time to join the other riders::
Host Wren_Losic says:
::sits down next to the Captain:: CO: Captain, your gift of help is appreciated more than you can ever possibly know, but I must also caution you....
Plenty says:
::looks around at the assembled group:: Wren: These people may just be our salvation against the ribbons.
CO_Eden says:
::Looks to Wren Losic, waiting for him to continue::
CNS_Bauer says:
PLENTY: ..or die trying.
CTO_Usimov says:
::stands behind Captain Eden, listening to her conversation with Wren Losic::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Sits near Captain::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: There is great danger in what we are about to undertake, grave danger, and many will perish, even with good training, as it is the way of things here..... Which is something else I must talk to you about?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Listens closely to Wren::
CTO_Usimov says:
::raises eyebrows::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: We know one of the things you and yours would like to do would be to "help" us, more than by just fighting the ribbons along side with us....
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::thunks her tail on the stone as she listens::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: You would like to use your technology to change the other world...  much like our forebears attempted....  to the disaster of all too many....
CO_Eden says:
::Cuts in:: Wren: After this ordeal... you want us to leave things the way they are.
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: But one thing you must understand... even though it would be impossible for you to change how things are, even if you could, you should not...  much like this Prime Directive your people have talked about
CTO_Usimov says:
<Self>: The Captain is correct, after all this, why would we want to leave things the way they are?
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: Wouldn't a more permanent solution be worth exploring?
Plenty says:
::walks around the keep area looking at the other riders and dragonoids making sure that all is in readiness::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: yes.... you must.....  As what this rogue has done has caused much pain, much loss, it also united the Ones with our peoples..... Something that would not have happened otherwise, to the loss of too many of both
CO_Eden says:
::Pauses and sighs:: Wren: We will, of course, adhere to your wishes.  This is your planet after all.  But there are other solutions.  We could have your people relocated to another planet.
XO_Shras says:
:: thinks about the huge problems that will cause with the Prime Directive guard dogs back in the Federation....::
Host Wren_Losic says:
::looks to the counselor and hopes he understands, now::
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: I don’t get it if there is no technology here and hasn't been for ages why are they still here? I know they are attacking cuz of us this time but if no technology has been here for so long why haven't they moved on?
XO_Shras says:
CO: Since we are in the warning part, it is my duty to remind you of the consequences of interfering with a pre-warp culture evolution
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: As you have probably surmised...  our people came to this place a long time ago, by means similar to yours, but then the rogue came and disrupted everything here.... until we gave up our technology and learned how to work with the Ones to fight a common foe.
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::shrugs and curls up into a ball to resume her nap::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: I don't think they are pre-warp.  They came here hundreds of years ago they must have gotten here through warp technology.
CTO_Usimov says:
::scans the planet to see if we are in danger yet::
XO_Shras says:
CNS: Can you distinguish myth from reality here?
Host Wren_Losic says:
Counselor: food is food, even if there is little technology, there is still food
CO_Eden says:
XO: Commander, I have reason to believe that this culture is not pre-warp, rather they are like a form of post-warp and are in a phase where they neither can or wish to use the technology.
XO_Shras says:
CNS: I see no evidence of that or of even the slightest understanding of technology so we must assume they don't
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: So in away the Ones and your people live in harmony because you have a common enemy. 
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: It’s just a theory, Sir.
Host Wren_Losic says:
Counselor: Yes, that is one way to understand it
CIV_Tlatoani says:
::sighs and falls asleep::
CNS_Bauer says:
WREN: Then I will do as you wish.
XO_Shras says:
CO: I hope you'll have enough evidence to convince the board back there about that, you know like me they are not easily convinced
CTO_Usimov says:
::looks up to watch the sky, while still listening to the conversation::
Host Wren_Losic says:
ACTION: THE EARTH SHAKES VIOLENTLY, THROWING MANY OF THE PEOPLE THIS WAY AND THAT... AND THE CAPTAIN INTO THE ARMS OF THE LEADER, WHO WHILE SURPRISED, DOES NOT SEEM DISPLEASED
CO_Eden says:
XO: I know Commander... I know.  However I can't, in good conscience, leave these people without offering any help we can give.
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: And Sir? My grip on reality is just fine.
XO_Shras says:
CNS: I never questioned your grip on reality counselor
CO_Eden says:
::Stumbles and falls backward into Wren Losic::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Falls on the ground looking up at Shras::
XO_Shras says:
CNS: I am talking about hard evidence, not tell-tales from the natives
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Oooww.
CTO_Usimov says:
::falls with the shaking of the ground::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Some times you gotta go on faith and instinct.  There aren't always the luxury of hard evidence that would make life to easy and not as much fun.
XO_Shras says:
:: lend a hand to help the counselor up ::
CO_Eden says:
Wren: Ahh.... excuse me.  And thank you for catching me.  ::Regains her balance::
Plenty says:
::comes back over to where her brother is and sits down on the ground::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Is able to get to his feet::
CNS_Bauer says:
XO: Thanks.
CTO_Usimov says:
::stands again, and plants her feet firmly on the ground in case that happens again::
Plenty says:
::glances at Wren and the Captain and shakes her head::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: Captain, it was not an unpleasant thing.. Was it?
CTO_Usimov says:
::raises eyebrows, at Wren Losic's remark::
Host Wren_Losic says:
ACTION: THE QUAKE SUBSIDES, BUT THE TREMBLING DOES NOT
CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks to see the Captain is flushed and wonders what happened::
CO_Eden says:
Wren: No... no not at all.  Well, I mean the quake was bad but... ::Trails off then looks up:: Anyway, what is our next course of action?
CTO_Usimov says:
::notices that there is still lots of trembling going on and remains firmly planted on the ground::
Host Wren_Losic says:
CO: It is time to rest, the ribbons will come soon now..
CNS_Bauer says:
::Goes over to see if Grenador was ok and to give comfort::
CTO_Usimov says:
::sighs, knowing she will rest but not completely before the ribbons arrive::
