Summary
Counselor Varesh, Ensign Whittiker, Lieutenant Spencer, Ensign Yodel and Ensign Knight went to investigate some sky stones that they all had purchased the day before.  The sky stones had some sort of constellation embedded in them.  The constellation resembled a Federation Commbadge.  They figured out that the ship entered through one point of the constellation.  They beamed back to the ship to check against the charts on the computer database.  

Meanwhile Commander Monroe, contacted Captain Jalazha on some information on Vlm.  He found out that Vlm was called the seer.  And was given some information on Vlm.  Jalazha also warned Monroe to be very careful of this individual.  What will they find out on Vlm?  Will Vlm help them find a way home?  Will the Sky Stones be a key to get home?  Find out next week.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Walks into sickbay:: CMO: Doctor. How's the Counselor?
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::uploading the data she gathered on the station into the computer.::
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Still on the station, looking around::
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::looks up.:: XO:  V?   Is something wrong with him?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks at him, then the doctor:: CMO: Not sure, just that the Captain ask me to check on him.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sits in a small cafe, watching the station population.:: *FCO*: Aaron, are you busy?
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Not at all.  Where are you?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Walks into Sickbay and looks around::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*FCO*: On the main concourse, species watching. There's a little cafe near the central plaza. I'm sitting outside, so you can't miss me. I'm the only Betazoid around. ::grins::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Sees nothing interesting in sickbay, so decides to have coffee on the station::
ATO_Yodel says:
::walks into sickbay to get a check-up::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Walks through the umbilical linking the Nighthawk to the station, and then out onto the main concourse, looking for somewhere to have coffee::
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Looks again at the stone the Captain gave him, wondering it's significance::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
*CNS*:  I'm right around the corner.  I'll be there in five seconds.  ::turns the corner and looks around the cafe::
ATO_Yodel says:
CMO: Are you busy? Right now.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*FCO*: I see you.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Goes over to his girl, and checks on her::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::sees the CNS and heads over to his table::  CNS:  Are you sure you can see me....you are a bit older than I am.  ::grins::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: Oh, that's right. Make fun of an old man... I'll whip your behind any time of the day.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Sees the FCO and the CNS in the shop, walks over to them:: FCO, CNS: How's the coffee here?
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::He holds it in his hand, and notices that it glows brightly:: Self: What an odd contraption......
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::looks over to the SO::  SO:  Don't know yet...just got here myself.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up, still grinning:: SO: I have no idea. I just got here a few minutes ago, and for the life of me, I cannot decipher the menu.
ATO_Yodel says:
::Feels a warm sensation from the sky stones in my pocket::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  And I doubt very seriously that you could whip my behind at anything.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Tickles the little one, and holds her up::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: And that sounds like a challenge to me. ::turns to Whittiker:: SO Don't you think?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::gets his famous twisted smile::  CNS: Just point at something and see what you get...  works most of the time, anyway.  Just don't ever do that in a Ferengi restaurant. ::Shudders::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::grins from ear to ear::  CNS:  Anytime, anyplace!
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::just laughs:: FCO: I'm sure.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Notices the pattern on the stone and struggles to recognize the pattern on it:: Self: It seems so familiar........
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
SO: I'm not quite sure that will work here. I think tube grubs could be very appetizing.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS: I would agree...  it sounds like an interesting challenge though.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::signals the waiter to come over and take their order::
ATO_Yodel says:
::heads out of the sickbay and towards the cafe::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS, FCO: Mind if i sit down?
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
SO:  Of course not...please.  ::motions for the SO to sit::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
SO: Of course not. Where is my manners?
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Walks up behind the XO::  XO:  She is a beaut Sir... I'm soooo jealous.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Wanders around, trying to decipher the pattern, and spots his SO along with the CNS and FCO::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks at the Doctor:: CMO: Thanks, doctor.  I am not sure what to say...
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up as the waiter appears:: Waiter: Uhm... may I ask what is this? ::points at a word on the menu he cannot even pronounce.::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Sits:: FCO, CNS: So gentlemen....  come here often? ::one eyebrow raised::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
SO:  Actually, this is my first time here.  You?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
FCO: The same.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Waiter> CNS: Well, its ::starts to yodel loudly to pronounce the word:: and quite delicious.
ATO_Yodel says:
::Walks over to the CSO:: CSO: Excuse sir can I show you something?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Puts his daughter down:: CMO: How was the Counselor's scan?
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Is distracted momentarily:: ATO: Yes, of course.
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Pulls out the sky gems and shows the CSO:: CSO: Have you ever seen these before?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
Waiter: What is this?  ::pointing::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Waiter> ::looks at the menu:: SO: That is plain water.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
Waiter: Fine.  I'll have one of those. ::blushes a little::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  You going to recommend anything?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Tickles his child some more::
ATO_Yodel says:
Waiter: I get one too please.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::laughs:: SO: Wise choice. ::turns to the waiter:: Do you have any fruit juice?
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Stares at it for a second, then whips out his own stone and compares them:: ATO: Now that's interesting. Where did you get them?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: I'll stick to something I can identify. ::grins::
ATO_Yodel says:
CSO: I got them from a vendor here at the station.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  Then I guess I'll just have what you're having.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Waiter> ::looks slightly disappointed:: SO: Alright. CNS: We have blurgly berry juice... quite tasty.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
ATO: Interesting. There's definately some connection with these artifacts. Look at this indentation on top of this stone...
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
Waiter: The berry juice sounds interesting... Yes.  why not?
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
SO:  So, the CSO been keeping you busy?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods at the waiter:: Waiter: Sounds nice... two of those then.
ATO_Yodel says:
CSO: Do you think that combined these stones might produce some kind of power source we could use?
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::looks over at the CNS::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Waiter> ::smiles happily:: All: Juice it is. ::practically runs into the kitchen to make the juice::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looks back at the FCO::
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  A hamster scurries up onto the baby monitor and looks at the XO and child.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO:: SO: You have been hiding down in the labs, I can't recall seeing you on the bridge.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Smiles:: ATO: It just might be so. It's hard to be sure, though.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS: Yes...  I work in the night-studies lab.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Looks at the Hamster, and looks for the nearest padd of blunt instrument::
ATO_Yodel says:
::Takes the stones from the CSO:: CNS: Counsellor have you ever seen these stones before?
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Shows both stones to the CNS::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Finds a padd swats at the Hamster:: Yells: Get away..
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
<Hamster> ::With a hurt expression and a twitch of his whiskers, scurries off.::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::waves his hand in front of the SO::  SO:  Hello....did you hear me?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looks at the CNS, who appears to have glazed over with the pleasure of the juice::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Mumbles:: Self: I am going to talk to that Science Officer of mine.... He is going to contain his pets....
ATO_Yodel says:
Self: Hey wait a sec I think these stones might fit together.
ATO_Yodel says:
::Takes sky stones and they fit into the look stone perfectly:: All: Hey look they fit!
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looks at the ATO with panic on his face::  ATO: didn't anyone ever teach you to experiment in controlled spaces?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::licks his lips after taking a sip of the juice:: All: This is actually quite nice. Think we can take some back with us?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::But then thinks pets for the little on would be nice::
ATO_Yodel says:
::looks at SO:: SO: Well lets get it back to the ship to examine it
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::glances over at the TO fiddling with the stones, when a pain hits his mind and he grunts at the force of it:: All: Urgh! ::grabs his head::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  I could ask them for the recipe and load it into our replicator.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
ATO: Sounds like a good idea.  Mind if I finish my juice first?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Shakes his head, and heads to the nearest console::
ATO_Yodel says:
::looks at CNS:: CNS: Are you alright?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Opens a commlink to the station::
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::looks at the CNS, wondering why he's in pain::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets tears in his eyes:: TO: I don't know. ::grunts again:: All: Its like a cry of some sort.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::gets up and goes over to Varesh::  CNS:  V, what is it?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Whatever we named this station: This is the USS Nighthawk. I would like to speak with Captain Jalazha.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
COMM: XO:  This Jalazha, how can I be of service?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::ooks from the CNS to the ATO to the stones::  Self: I wonder......  ATO: you get those stones back to the Ship.  Mr Knight and I will bring the CNS along.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: Those stones... ::points to the ones the TO holds:: they need to get together with another one.
ATO_Yodel says:
SO: It started when I put these stones together.:: Walks away from CNS trying to pull the stones apart::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs as the pain disappears the moment he makes the connection:: SO: I'm alright now.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: I want to inquire about one of the people living on the station.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  The TO is unable to take the sky stones from the Look Stone.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS: You sure?
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
COMM: XO:  Who might that be?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: SO: Yes.
ATO_Yodel says:
SO: We must get this stone into an isolation chamber.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  Anything I can do for you to help V?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: That person... ::Rumbles around for his padd:: Knows Federation Lanugage.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles and pats Aaron's hand:: FCO: No, thanks. Its got to do with that strange alien I met earlier today.
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Starts heading back to the ship::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  So I've heard about that.  You are going to tell me about it, aren't you?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Sighs, was looking forward to a nice, long breakfast with the CNS and the FCO::  ATO: I would think that would be a good idea.  *Nighthawk*: Nighthawk, this is Lessing.  Two to beam directly to Science Lab two.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
::Frowns::  COMM: XO:  Knows federation language?  I do not know of any people that know of your language... besides your crew of course.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
SO: Keep me informed... I think it will be very important.
ATO_Yodel says:
::ATO waits for transport::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
SO/TO: Before you go. I want to look at them.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@::Rumbles though the padd:: COMM: Jalazha: Hm.. Oh it call itself Vlm?  Am I pronouncing it correctly?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods at Aaron:: FCO: Yes... as soon as I had a look at those stones.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  What are you going to learn by looking at them?  Let them get them into an isolation chamber.
ATO_Yodel says:
*Night Hawk*: Hold on transport
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Notices the ATO has walked away:: *Nighthawk*: Belay my last.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: It has to do with the alien.
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Hands stones to Varesh::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::Takes the stones from the ATO and examines them, the pain completely gone::
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Notices Varesh seems to be in less pain::
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  As the CNS holds the Look Stone, it lights up, showing the seven stars.  Only this time there is a pathway between them.  The pathway resembles the federation comm badge.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nearly drops the stones:: All: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looking at the stones:: All: what the !?
ATO_Yodel says:
All: Wow it's a map!
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  What?  What is it V?
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
::Raises both eyebrows high.  Cautiously::  COMM:  XO:  Vlm?  The Seer?  The one people say is either the wisest of men or the craziest?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: Its a map. It shows seven stars, but there is a route between them, in the shape of a commbadge.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  So where do you think this route leads to?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS, FCO: Thats what I see as well....
ATO_Yodel says:
CNS: Maybe it’s our way home?:: Looking at the stones::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: Wise or crazy? Why do you say that?  That is two sides of the spectrum.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::looks over at the SO::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: That I do not know... but I think we have to get back to the ship and show this to Commander Monroe and the Captain.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
ATO: Its a possibility...
ATO_Yodel says:
CNS: That's a good idea, has everyone finished their drinks?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Notices the FCO looking at him and looks back::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  Actually, it looks very familiar.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
ATO: I have....
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from the table:: FCO: How so?
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
::Sighs:: COMM: XO:  Because no one can decide.  He is also impossible to find... unless he wants to find you.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  That's....that's the same pattern of space where we entered.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::stares at Aaron:: FCO: Are you positive?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looks more closely::  FCO: You may well be right.  I recognize that constellation. ::Points::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::nods::  CNS:  Definitely positive.  Where we entered, that was where I saw the same pattern of stars.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: Well can you tell me all about his Vlm fellow, his background, where is came from, how he came here, and if there is a way to contact him.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
All: Well then, lets get back to the ship and check against the charts we have. This is a most interesting happening.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
CNS: You have a gift for understatement - has anyone ever told you that?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods at Whittiker to include him and Aaron in the transport::
ATO_Yodel says:
CNS: Yes I bet I am glad I gave a little blood for them.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: SO: I've spent years perfecting it... Randi always commented on it.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
*Nighthawk*: Nighthawk, four to beam directly to science lab one.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
ATO: Blood well spent, Mister. ::smiles::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::stands beside Varesh and Whittiker, waiting to be transported::
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
@COMM: He is tall... about 2.3 meter, thin, lithe, white of skin, a true telepath which if you remember very few are here beyond the royal family.  He tends to wear a long black robe.  And he hides his left hand.  They call him a Yalkippu.  Beyond that, I know very little.
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Stands beside SO awaiting transport::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::turns his head and smiles at Aaron:: FCO: I'll fill you in on the strange alien as we work.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  The four officers are beamed directly to the science lab amongst the gasp of those around them.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Notices the change in surroundings::  ATO: Would you mind putting the stones on the scanner over there?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
@::appears in the lab:: All: Whoops... I forgot these people do not have transporter technology. That will be a story to tell their children.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::winks back::  CNS:  I'm sure the story will prove interesting.
ATO_Yodel says:
SO: Sure.::Takes stones from the SO and heads towards the scanner::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::laughs:: FCO: Quite so.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: True telepath eh?
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
Computer: Scan the stones in scanner Delta and compare the markings on them to star charts.  Report matches on the screen here.
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Puts stones into the scanner::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Computer: Computer, please locate Captain Anderson and Commander Monroe.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
COMM:  XO:  Yes commander.
ATO_Yodel says:
::Walks back over to SO and looks at screen to await results::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: Thank you, for all your help.  If there is any more information about this fellow that comes across your desk please give me a ring.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Computer> CNS: The Captain is in his quarters and Commander Monroe is in sickbay.
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
COMM: XO:  That is not likely to happen.  It is rare to see Vlm.  I did not even know he was still on the station.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  Well, which one do you care to inform first?
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Turns to SO:: SO: How long will it take to compare these star charts?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
FCO: I think both of them at the same time. I'm sure they will come running when I tell them what we have to show them.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
::Looks down at the screen, feels the ATO moving up close to him...  a little too close::  All: Well.  the sky stones are the same as the amber-honey matrix from the Coobla.  Nothing more interesting.  The looks tone appears to be brass...  which is interesting in itself...  with engraved runes on it.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CNS:  I do believe you're right!
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
@COMM: Jalazha: Anything can happen Captain. ::Smiles::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CO/XO*: Captain, Commander. Could you please come to science lab one. We have found something you should see.
ATO_Yodel says:
Self: I hope we can find our way home.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::winks at Aaron:: FCO: Now we wait for them to come running.
SO_Ens_Whittiker says:
All: There is a definite star chart match....  now to figure out which one....
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CNS*: I'll be right down.
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  That'll be a first.....the Command crew coming to us for a change!~~~  ::grins::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Well, I used to do that on the Huron... and they always came running.~~~
ATO_Yodel says:
:: Noticing that I was a little to close to the SO I move half a step back::
FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::lets out a laugh as he hears the CNS::
Host Capt_Jalazha says:
COMM: XO:  With Vlm, this is true... be careful Starfleet... be very careful.... ::Closing the comm, a shudder courses down her spine.::
