@ ::motions to team to enter the room::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: Something is trying to search my mind, very strange

AGM
@@@ Action:  The scene of the Command Center is an eerie one.  All of the crew are present at their workstations...  however they all seem to be "dead".

Cmdr. Dresden
@::looks around CC and tries to open commnad logs::

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@::enters room::

Ens. G Heinlein
$ Tucker .. I fear our "enemy may be a being that uses the mind as a weapon ... :::Pales :::

Captain Lewis
@::Looks around::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Morrell: watch Heinlein.  He may be invaluable to this mission, but if he has another attack, sedate him, I can't risk him.

Cmdr. Dresden
@Landt: are they all dead or just in a zombie state.

Captain Lewis
Ber:  is it close can you make anything out?

Lt. McDowell
$ <Morrell> Tucker: Aye sir. ::stands by the fellow Ensign::

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@Capt.:  they're like the others.

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::tries to open door::

Captain Lewis
@::walks over to one of the stations::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: I've read about this, it's like, uh.......:thinks::

Ens. G Heinlein
$ Tucker : I have already fended off another probe by this entity 

Captain Lewis
@::walks over to another station::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein: Just what I feared, but be weary, you may be at more risk than you thought, stick by morrel, just in case.

Ens. G Heinlein
$ XO : Aye Sir 

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::watches carefully as door opens quietly::

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: Sir, we do not have enough power to bring up the logs.  We will need to bring mains back online.

Lt. McDowell
$ ::points rifle to the door crack::

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@Capt.:  they seem to be in a zombie::

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::Steps into the quiet room::

Captain Lewis
@Dresdan:  contact Tucker and see what their status is and inform them of what we need

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: It's like somehow, someone or somebody has , uh, eaten their consious state of mind, leaving only their sub consious

Cmdr. Tucker
Team: Let's go ::follows Mitchell::

Lt. McDowell
$ ::follows the lead and enters the dark chamber::

AGM
$$$ Action:  A storage container has fallen on a Human who does not seem to try to move.

Cmdr. Dresden

Captain Lewis
@::gets the willies::  Ber:  any hypothosis?

Ens. G Heinlein
$::follows with McDowell ::::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Mcdowell: Is this the computer core?

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::notes man under container::

Lt. McDowell
$ <Morrell> ::slinks in the back of the group::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: all these people are yelling from the inside, its quite distracting, trying to shut down the link

Captain Lewis
@::Looks down at readings::

Ens. G Heinlein
$::::reaches for Mediacl tricorder ::::

Cmdr. Dresden
@Tucker:  Cmdr. Tucker...do you read?

AGM
@@@ Action:  You all feel something brush your minds.  Something hungry.  Something lurking.  Something nearby.

Captain Lewis
@::looks up startled::

Cmdr. Mitchell
$XO: Commander, there's a man here.

Captain Lewis
@::looks back to rest of group::

Lt. McDowell
$ Tucker: Uh no sir...we were just in the computer core area before we entered here. This is a power node maintenance area.

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@All:  did you feel that?!

Cmdr. Tucker
${#}Dresden: I'm here Mr. Dresden, how goes it there?

Captain Lewis
@Landt: yes  I did

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: we can't fight this, its getting stronger

Cmdr. Dresden
@::looks to the rest of the group::did anyone else feel something odd?

Captain Lewis
@Ber: WHAT is it??

Ens. G Heinlein
$::::Scans Person under container :::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Mcdowell: I'm no engineer, can you fix it from here?

Captain Lewis
@::feels something strange::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: i think we better leave with the readings we have, while we have a chance

Captain Lewis
@Ber: get what you can uploaded and prepare to return to the ship.......

Lt. McDowell
$ Tucker: Interesting. To be an XO, you should have some engineering experience. But no matter. I can sir.

Cmdr. Dresden
@Tucker: Sir, we are in the command center...are you any where near the main power generators?

Cmdr. Tucker
${#}Dresden: Cmdr, are you all right?

Captain Lewis
@::looks around::

Ens. G Heinlein
$:::: takes reading of person under container ....they appear to be of a healthy male age about 32 :::

Captain Lewis
@::walks over to another station::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: I repeat, all these people are yelling to me subconsiously to get out of here

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein: Species?

Captain Lewis
@Ber: did they tell you what caused this?

Lt. McDowell
$ Group: The part of the core that I need to get to is in the next room over from here.

Captain Lewis
@::gets an eerie feeling::

Cmdr. Dresden
@{#}Tucker: for the moment we are all fine...can you reestablish main power?

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: too many images right now, i can probaby give you an answer soon, but we should leave

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::begins to survey the rest of the room::

Ens. G Heinlein
$ Tucker : He/she/it has struck again ...he seems to feed on thoughts

Captain Lewis
@Dresdan: tell them to get a move on......we need to get out of here.......

Cmdr. Tucker
Morell: See if you can help Mcdowell  Mitchell: Let's set up guard against these, doors, I'll take this one, and you take the other?

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::still looking for the #%* light switch::

Captain Lewis
@::looks down at blinking panel::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: it's getting progressively stronger, we will not be able to cope soon

Captain Lewis
@::starts thinking::

Lt. McDowell
$ <Morrell> ::walks over and assists the Chief in getting into the next room over::

Cmdr. Tucker
${#}Dresden: We're in the process of restoring the computer, from there we'll get power back online if we can.

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@::grabs head wincing in pain:: All:  something's in my mind!!

Captain Lewis
@Ber: prepare to move

Lt. McDowell
$ ::enters the computer room and starts accessing all key systems::

Captain Lewis
@::runs to Landt::

Cmdr. Dresden
@{#}Tucker: very well sir, we will proceed as best we can.

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: i have all I can download for now

Ens. G Heinlein
$:::Tries to apply more strength to protecting my minds sheilds :::

Captain Lewis
@::looks at Landt:: fight it..........

Captain Lewis
@::looks at crew::

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@::the pain goes away and she looks up:: All:  It's gone.  Something entered my mind, it left after a few seconds.

Cmdr. Tucker
${#}Dresden: Aye, Tucker Out.

Lt. McDowell
$ ::scoots under console, takes out an ODN junction repair thingy, and starts going over the damaged parts::

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::begins to wonder if the date is Halloween rather than St. Pat's day::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: try to think of a , uh, brick wall concentrate on it, don't stop

Captain Lewis
@::Looks at Landt::  are you sure?

AGM
$$$ Action:  The Core is not what you expect it to be.  What should be the reactor is covered by layers upon layer of webbing.  There is no way you can move in there without disturbing that webbing.

Captain Lewis
@::feels a headache coming::

Cmdr. Tucker
Mcdowell: Report.

Captain Lewis
@::holds head for a minute::

Lt. McDowell
$ ::sighs::

AGM
$$$ Action:  You are all confronted by one thought.  Strong and insistant.  "Leave."

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@Capt.:  It's gone...I don't feel anything anymore.

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: WE must leave

Ens. G Heinlein
$ Tucker : He/she/it has sturck again ...he seems to feed on thoughts

Cmdr. Mitchell
$XO: Looks at the webbing material all over the controls and equipment.

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: Sir, We obviously are dealing with a telepathic entity.  I do not know at this point what defense we can muster.

Dr.(Lt.) Landt
@::scans capt. for traces of anything::

Lt. McDowell
$ Tucker: Well sir...there's some type of a mesh that's blocking my repairs. If I disturb the mesh...well...

Cmdr. Tucker
$Mcdowell: If you can't do much, I'd just as soon get the hell out of here.

Captain Lewis
@ Dresdan: tell tucker to prepare to beam back to the ship.........

Lt. McDowell
$ ::scoots over to another area of the reactor::

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: aye sir

Captain Lewis
@::Looks around nervously::

Ens. G Heinlein
$Tucker : It was a telepathic commands it may be the creaturtes Lair

AGM
$$$ Action:  High above you can see what looks like eggs.  All is attached by the webbing.

Cmdr. Dresden
@{#}XO: Cdr. Tucker...you are ordered to prepare to beam back to the ship.

Ltjg Ber
@::takes out PADD, lays it on science panel and downloads::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein: Is this being responsible for thse telepathic attacks? :;point to man::

Ens. G Heinlein
$Tucker : I believe it may be as he attacked me several times 

Captain Lewis
@::looks around::

Lt. McDowell
$ ::looks up through the webbing, and sees little eggs on it:: Oh...my...... ::never finishes for some reason::

Captain Lewis
::walks over to another panel::

Ltjg Ber
@::Staring at PADD::

Cmdr. Tucker
${#}Dresden: Uh, ask the captain if we may stay for a few more minutes, we're onto something here.

Ltjg Ber
@::what is this entry???????????::

Captain Lewis
@::nods as he hears Tucker::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein: Can we sedate him somehow so he can't do these attacks?

Captain Lewis
@::Looks at Ber::

Lt. McDowell
$ ::steps back in amazement::

Captain Lewis
@::walks over to Ber::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap

Cmdr. Dresden
@::cannot muster self will any longer...mental battle going on...being is atttching itself to my thoughts::

Ens. G Heinlein
$Tucker : We might try a stun setting on the phasers on the creatures 

Captain Lewis
@BER: what is it?

Lt. McDowell
$ Tucker: Uh sir...whatever this thing is...it's reproducing and feeding off of the main power. That's why we don't have power to anything.'

Cmdr. Tucker
$Mcdowell: What's going on lt?

Ltjg Ber
:: this is the Captains logs, its in the wrong files::

Captain Lewis
@::looks down at the readings::

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: Sir, I have jsut experienced the a mental attack.

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: its ah , its about the crew and their disorientation

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein, Mcdowell: Very well, I'm going to try and stun it.

Captain Lewis
@Dresdan:  you alright now?

Cmdr. Tucker
$Team: I think there has been suffiecient provocation.

Lt. McDowell
$ ::looks at the XO:: XO: And risk hitting the warp core containment field?

Captain Lewis
@::begins reading:: Ber: upload this

Ens. G Heinlein
$Tucker : we might need the combined energy of all of our Phasers to cover the area of its nest

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: yes sir...but I am sure that if we do not stop the entity, we will all soon be as you see the station crew.

Captain Lewis
@::a pain enters her head::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: this is interesting, something about an entity contacted and it was trying to take physical form

Cmdr. Tucker
$Mcdowell: You're right, we need to cut it's power, can you shut the core down?

Captain Lewis
@Dresdan:  let's get as much info as we can........then make a decision

Captain Lewis
@::continues reading::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: seems it needed electro-bio energy to do it

Lt. McDowell
$ ::walks back to the main console, types a few thing. Then walks over to a big bulkhead, opens it, and pulls a few large bundles of wires::

Cmdr. Tucker
$Heinlein: After we neutralize the core, I agree.

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: I do not think there is anything more we can do here for now...I suggest we meet up with the XO.

Captain Lewis
@Dresdan:  ::Nods:: contact him and let him know...

Ens. G Heinlein
$:::prepares Phaser to wide angle dispersion pattern ::::

Captain Lewis
@we also need to do something with these people

Cmdr. Dresden
@::nods::

Captain Lewis
@::rubs head::

Cmdr. Dresden
@{#}XO: Sir, we are on our way to your position.

Lt. McDowell
$ ::a low "power-down" kind of rumble is emitted from the core:: Tucker: Core's down sir. <g>

Cmdr. Tucker
$Team: All right aim and fire on my command::

Ltjg Ber
@Cap: we will all be affected soon if we don't get some distance from here

AGM
Action:  main Power throughout the Outpost has been cut again.

Cmdr. Dresden
@CO: stunning them is the best course sir.

Cmdr. Mitchell
$::takes aim::

Ens. G Heinlein
$::::prepares to fire on command ::::

Cmdr. Tucker
$::targets being::

Lt. McDowell
$ ::takes back up his rifle, and waits::

Captain Lewis
@dresdan: and then what?

Cmdr. Tucker
$Team: Remeber only heavy stun

Cmdr. Tucker
$Team: Fire
