Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon, badly damaged has been brought through the energy barrier that protects the Cl'ckt'c home system.

Host Karriaunna says:
Unknown to both groups, they passed through an unusual cloud that had never been seen before.  The Cl'ckt'c are concerned about this.  For now, both ships crews have been rendered silent while both work to find a way to communicate.

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: But they are an ugly irresponsible bunch, how do we know they're any better now than they were then?

Host Cl’ckt’c says:

Xchin`tk says:
@::nods:: Psh`tl: That we will do. You can be in charge of that, since it concerns you so.

@Xchin'tk: Thank you your Excellency

TO_Kryyon says:
::notices the CSO's actions and checks tactical sensors::

::winces::

CNS_Merced says:
::notices the nod and then sends to the CO's badge::  CO: What would you like me to send sir?

XO_Zax says:
::nods and takes the PADD:: ::text:: Our status in the queque?

Psh`tl says:
@Kst'chck: Does your research suggest any danger from these clumsy creatures?

Xchin`tk says:
@::awaiting their ships to return with their guests::

SO_Sarek says:
::starts to go to Quarters and slips::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::text::  CNS: Ask them if they know anything about what happened to our ships.

Kst`chck says:
@::Finds a piece of paper:: Xchin’tk: This... A wormhole near a this other planet... I think we can 
send them on their way that way...

CSO_Gunther says:
::forwards the latest set of data to sickbay::

SO_Sarek says:
::gets back up::

SO_Sarek says:
::walks to Quarters::

TO_Kryyon says:
::sends a tactical team to the docking bay::

Kst`chck says:
@Psh`tl: But I found one animal on the outer regions a cute fellow likes to bite things...

CNS_Merced says:
::nods::  ::text-to-speech::  COMM: Cl'ckt'c: This is the Pendragon, can you respond?

Psh`tl says:
@Kst'chck: This biting creature is aboard their ship?

Xchin`tk says:
@::nods:: Kst'chck: Excellent doctor. Prepare a complete plan for sending them out that way when they are ready.

SO_Sarek says:
::looks at mirror  and starts to meditate::

CSO_Gunther says:
::stretches and twists his neck, stiff from staring at the displays so long::

Kst`chck says:
@Psh`tl: No this animal is placed in your cabin.

TO_Kryyon says:
Types a message on the PADD::  XO:  I believe they want to dock, sir?  ::hands PADD to XO::

SO_Sarek says:
::gets up and lights scented candles

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Your Excellency, I am receiving reports that the Inner system ships are still waiting to 
dock.

Kst`chck says:
@Psh`tl: If I remember last... ::Can't remember what he did with the critter because I rushed over to the great hall::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
%::looks at the incoming message with a shrug and sends their own.  Hopefully one of them will find the answer::

CNS_Merced says:
::nods::  ::text-to-speech::  COMM: Cl'ckt'c: Again: This is the Pendragon, can you respond?

XO_Zax says:
::looks surprised and hands the PADD to the Captain::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: What is taking them so long?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::thinks this is the worst case of passing the buck... and takes the PADD::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Unknown Your Excellency, in my personal opinion, incompetency

SO_Sarek says:
::lays down and thinks::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::text::  CNS: Open the shuttle bay doors.  XO: You have the bridge.  I'm going to meet our guests.  ::Stands::

::gets up to follow the CO::

SO_Sarek says:
::smelling beautiful smells::

CNS_Merced says:
::nods and keys the docking bay doors to open, allowing the visitors to enter::

@Psh`tl: I see. They had better have an excellent excuse when they get back...

XO_Zax says:
::nods::

CNS_Merced says:
::text::  CO: Shall I join you sir?

TO_Kryyon says:
::grabs a PADD to carry, just in case::

TO_Kryyon says:
::checks phaser settings::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: Maybe their systems are down.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns back to the counselor and nods.   TEXT::  CNS: Good idea. Your with us.

CSO_Gunther says:
::opens the medical database, and starts brushing up on his neurochemistry::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: perhaps you misunderstand me your Excellency, our "guests" have not made it 
possible for our ships to dock

XO_Zax says:
::watches as the captain assembles his welcoming committee::

CNS_Merced says:
::stands, logging off the station, as another takes his place, when he follows the captain into the lift::

Xchin`tk says:
@::turns:: Kst`chck: Perhaps.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::enters the TL and holds the door open.  TEXT::  XO: I trust you to keep us out of those energy tubes.  Remember what happened last time.

SO_Sarek says:
::baths and blows out candles and runs to bridge::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Yes yes that must be it. Our military would never be so pathetic.

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  Three of the inner ships fly into the shuttle bay as the doors slowly open.

TO_Kryyon says:
::enters TL::

XO_Zax says:
::text:: CO: Aye, Sir.

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Your Excellency, our inner ships are finally being allowed to dock

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::lets the door close and instructs Deck 11, shuttlebay::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: What did you say you excellency?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::text::  CNS: Any thoughts on our guests?

SO_Sarek says:
::Gets to station and sits::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Finally. Inform them to hurry up and bring our guests here.

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Yes your Excellency

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
%::Looks in concern at the data one of his medical officers hands him::

XO_Zax says:
::text:: SO: Please cover Flight Control.

Psh`tl says:
@::grumbles:: Self: this is a bad idea

CNS_Merced says:
::tapping fingers on rail in turbolift as it drops to deck eleven::  ::text::  CO: Just to be straightforward.  In a society as theirs, at least from what we've observed, dishonesty in any form is 
not tolerated and could seriously jeopardize our relationship with them.

SO_Sarek says:
::Starts to scan again::

XO_Zax says:
::looks at the SO and raises a brow::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods.  TEXT::  CNS: Do we have anything to be dishonest about?

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  The Inner ships land.  The doors open and the pilots of each ship stand waiting.

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: We are having Guests your excellency?

Xchin`tk says:
@Kst`chck: Why yes. The federation ship is coming here for repairs, then we will send them on their way.

TO_Kryyon says:
::watches the CO and CNS::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::as the TL doors open he exits.  TEXT::  TO: What are your feelings on the matter  ::looks at her pips:: Lieutenant?

CSO_Gunther says:
::makes a mental note when he reads about acetylcholine::

TO_Kryyon says:
::shrugs::

CNS_Merced says:
::text::  CO:  I don't believe so.  What I am saying is that we shouldn't speak untruth even concerning our emotions.   Their antennae are no doubt very sensitive to signs in our physiology that would 
indicate any untruth.

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
%::Sends the information back to the homeworld and sets his staff to working on the antidote::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: Your Excellency I just don't have my good lab coat on.. ::Dusts off the dust on the lab jacket::

SO_Sarek says:
::runs and takes helm over::

CSO_Gunther says:
::notes that acetylcholine activates the neurons in the language center of the brain...and that the chemistry of the cloud acts as a receptor, deadening it::

Psh`tl says:
@::orders security teams to guard all of the even slightest sensitive areas with instructions to allow no outworlders any where near::

Xchin`tk says:
@Kst`chck: Hmm...::looking him over:: it is no matter. Have you not seen what repulsive beings they are? Your coat will not make any difference.

XO_Zax says:
::smiles at the young ensign::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::enters the shuttlebay and nods at the CNS, he holds out a PADD to the "guests" and types obviously for them to see.  TEXT::  Klck'kt: Welcome.  ::hands them the PADD::

CSO_Gunther says:
::sends another note to sickbay, suggesting they look at developing an anti-receptor for acetylcholine...then realizes sickbay has yet to respond::

TO_Kryyon says:
::tries to not show her disgust at the appearance of the aliens::

SO_Sarek says:
::starts to watch for a Tholian webs::

CNS_Merced says:
::hands the Captain a PADD configured for Text-to-Speech::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: But you excellency first impressions... ::Keeps Dusting the dust and drops the piece of paper:: Self: Hmm.. What is this? ::Picks up the paper, and reads it::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
::One of the pilots takes the PADD and tries to read it.  Shakes his head with a shrug and points for them to enter his ship::

XO_Zax says:
<MO Doozy> ::receives the message from the CSO and sends back a message received response. Hands the message to the CMO::

SO_Sarek says:
::starts to wander if I will see anything::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods and motions for the others to follow::

CSO_Gunther says:
::looks around, thinking to ask for permission to go work with the medical staff, then makes the horrible realization that once again, he's the senior officer on the bridge::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Well, they require assistance. Send out 3 of our best repair ships.

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Yes your Excellency

CNS_Merced says:
::exchanges a look with the TO then joins the Captain with a shrug::

TO_Kryyon says:
::follows the CO::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Actually, make it 5. The sooner they leave the better.

CSO_Gunther says:
::exhales in sharp relief when he sees the XO, and approaches::

SO_Sarek says:
::sees nothing at all::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Agreed your Excellency ::orders 5 of the fastest repair vessels to the Pendragon::

XO_Zax says:
::looks up at the CSO, nods and raises a questioning brow::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Have our scout ships departed yet?

CSO_Gunther says:
::realizes he forgot to bring a PADD and traces the shape of the Starfleet Medical logo in the air with his finger and a questioning look::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Yes your Excellency, we are awaiting word from them.

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  As the crew enters, the doors close and he goes back to his seat to start up the ship.

Kst`chck says:
@Psh`tl: Can we communicate with the Federation ship?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::notices what's happening types text-to-speech::  *XO* We are going on a little trip Commander.  Open the shuttlebay doors.

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Wonderful. Kst`chck: Yes, but there is little point currently, seeing as they can't respond. Once our scout ships return with ambassadors from their ship, it will be much better.

Psh`tl says:
@Kst'chck: Apparently only through text messages. Audio communications are still down.

XO_Zax says:
::looks surprised and does as asked::

SO_Sarek says:
::walks back to helm::

CNS_Merced says:
::finds somewhere to sit, opting for the floor instead of the Cl'ckt'c designed chair::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: continues working::

TO_Kryyon says:
::stands looking around suspiciously::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin'tk: Yes your excellency.  ::walks and plops beside his excellency::

CSO_Gunther says:
::waits for the XO to indicate something::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  As the doors open, the ship swiftly heads to the central homeworld where the Queen has decided she should not be on while the crew visits.

SO_Sarek says:
::Keeps watching ::

XO_Zax says:
::nods and smiles her permission to the CSO::

CSO_Gunther says:
::smiles back and dashes into the TL::

Xchin`tk says:
@::waiting for the ambassadors to arrive:: Kst`chck: You know, you really should have changed your lab coat. ::looking at it with mild disapproval::

CSO_Gunther says:
::hops back to pick up his PADD, then disappears into the TL::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
&::glances at the TO and the CNS hoping this goes well this time::

TO_Kryyon says:
&::wishes she had brought a phaser rifle::

TO_Kryyon says:
&::nods at the CO::

Psh`tl says:
@Kst'chck: Do you even know where you have another coat. You'd lose your antennae if they weren't attached

XO_Zax says:
::sighs and stares longingly out the viewscreen::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: taps onto the computer asking the CSO's location::

CNS_Merced says:
&::smiles confidently at the captain, while continuing to observe his surroundings for further clues about this race::

XO_Zax says:
::walks over to the SO and pats her shoulder, indicating she is doing a great job::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  The ship enters the atmosphere and heads toward a tall building that graces the skylines.  It is very intricate and delicate in appearance.  More like art then 
function.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
&::carefully walks to the forward section to look out the viewport::

CSO_Gunther says:
::exits onto Deck 7, jogging toward sickbay::

XO_Zax says:
::hands the FCO a PADD requesting that she run a level two diagnostic on the helm::

TO_Kryyon says:
&::stays near the CO::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Your Excellency, the first scout ship with our guests will be landing momentarily

Xchin`tk says:
@::watches out the window as the ship descends:: Wonderful! There's our guests. ::jumps up::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
%::Makes note of the incoming repair ships with a sigh, hoping his doctors get that cure soon::

SO_Sarek says:
::looks at XO::

CSO_Gunther says:
::enters sickbay, spots the CMO, and hands him the PADD::

Psh`tl says:
@::Orders security teams to stand by::

Kst`chck says:
@Xchin’tk: If you wish ::Goes behind and replaces his labsuit::

CNS_Merced says:
&::watches from where he is now standing, is astounded by the building design he is seeing::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: finds the CSO's note and looks at his data::

Xchin`tk says:
@::waits for Kst`chck to return:: Hurry up man! Seeing you in that would have been bad enough. Without any coat, that will be just plain mean to them.

TO_Kryyon says:
&::wonders how the building is defended::

SO_Sarek says:
::keeps watching not to let there guard down::

CMO_Daetalus says:

Kst`chck says:
@::Walks out and Plops beside Xchin'tk::

Psh`tl says:
@::bows:: Your Excellency ::turns to leave with Security team

Xchin`tk says:
@::looks over his new coat:: Kst`chck: Much better.

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
ACTION:  With a flyby, the pilot lands the ship on the landing pad, then stands to open the door, directing the crew to the landing pad below.

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: programs the computer to match certain types of antireceptors to the various species of crew::

CNS_Merced says:

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
@<Guard>All:  You are to follow me.  PLEASE touch nothing.

Psh`tl says:
@CO: And can we please not have anybody wonder off this time?

Xchin`tk says:
Kst`chck: Now remember, these beings are completely hideous. Try to make them feel welcome; just don't look at them for long periods of time.

Psh`tl says:
@shudders in disgust at the sight of the aliens:: Self: loathsome creatures

CNS_Merced says:
@::smiling briefly, having read some of the officer logs from the last visit, appreciates the mild humor... then wonders if the host was trying to be funny::

CSO_Gunther says:
::nods at the CMO::

@::blinks as briefly he thought he saw the TO shaking something, but shakes his head as she is doing no such thing now::

CSO_Gunther says:
::blinks, feeling nothing::

Psh`tl says:
@::shudders at the sight of the CO barring his teeth::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::enters the Great Hall and remembers it well::

CSO_Gunther says:
::suddenly feels a serious wave a nausea and dizziness as his brain chemistry adjusts::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::looks around the Hall not impressed at all::

XO_Zax says:
::sends a message to sickbay asking for an update::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: sees a reaction in the CSO's brain and larynx, however gradual::

CNS_Merced says:
@::observes that and hands a PADD to the CO with a  message::  CO: Perhaps do not smile.  He seemed not to take it well.  Or at least do not show teeth.

Kst`chck says:
@::Starts staring at the AT::

SO_Sarek says:
::keeps watching::

XO_Zax says:
<TO Tootsie>::scratches an itch::

CSO_Gunther says:
::leans over hard, gripping the console and trying to hold onto his most recent meal::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::Tries not to stare back::

Xchin`tk says:
@::looks over at the AT as the enter the hall:: AT: Hello, and welcome back to our planet. I am Xchin`tk. Unfortunately, our Queen could not attend our meeting tonight.

CNS_Merced says:
@::tries not to look around too much, but can't help but be awed with the beauty inherent in the design::

Psh`tl says:
@::walks up to Xchin'tk and bows:: Xchin'tk: Your excellency

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: feels pride in the fact that a long shot is working::

CSO_Gunther says:
::very suddenly begins to feel better, and stands up straight, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::nods at the CNS.  TEXT::  CNS: Good point Lieutenant.  I had not thought of that.  ::turns to Psh'tl trying to motion a friendly appreciation for being here with a curious look of why::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: finds receptors appropriate to Betazoids and tests it on himself::

CSO_Gunther says:
::dares to open mouth:: CMO: .......

CNS_Merced says:
@::observes the odd motion of their supposed host, and tries to imitate it with a  bow of his own to the one sitting::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::stands at attention::

Psh`tl says:
@::sees CO motioning and moves away in disgust::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::notices the CNS's lead and attempts the same::

Kst`chck says:
@::Stares at the CO with Glaring Eyes::

CSO_Gunther says:
CMO: IIiii........

XO_Zax says:
::walks over to OPS Ombabla and motions for him to update her::

CSO_Gunther says:
::eyes water with discomfort::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: looks up at the sound::

CNS_Merced says:
@::text::  CO:  Perhaps we should simply not try anything beyond what we see them doing.  Less chance of offending.

TO_Kryyon says:
@::does not like the way that bug is glaring at the CO::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::suddenly feels VERY uncomfortable::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::sees the CO stiffen slightly and moves closer::

CNS_Merced says:
@::still bent in the bow, not feeling entirely safe in unfolding::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Your Excellency, shall I have the guards show them to quarters?

Kst`chck says:
@::Sees the TO Move closer and Glares at the TO::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::drops her gaze and steps back slightly so as not to offend::

CSO_Gunther says:
::with a deep breath:: CMO: Iiiittt......

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Yes, that would be an idea. I assume you've checked them for any weapons?

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: checks the CSO with a Tricorder as he attempts to speak::

CNS_Merced says:
@::is glad the TO obviously has a good head on her shoulders to avoid a bad situation::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::rests her hand on her phaser::

Xchin`tk says:
@::turns to the CO:: CO: You'll understand if we take any weapons you may have brought, after what happened last time you visited us, won't you?

TO_Kryyon says:
@::looks at the CO::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: They are armed your excellency, I felt that they would feel threatened and try something unwise if we attempted to remove them.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::gives a slow curt nod::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: Types into a PADD:: CSO: I will place an announcement for all crew to report to sickbay to receive the inoculations, unless you have a better idea.

Kst`chck says:
@::Looks at the AT::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: Come now Psh`tl, we are all friends here. There is no need for any weaponry.

CSO_Gunther says:
CMO: It wrrrnn.........

SO_Sarek says:
::keeps watching tiredly::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::turns to the TO to relinquish her weapon::

TO_Kryyon says:
@:: removes her phaser and offers it to the bug::

Xchin`tk says:
@Psh`tl: After disarming them, show them to their quarters.

CSO_Gunther says:
::types into the same PADD:: CMO: Are you sure it's safe? Maybe we should be sure it works, first.

CNS_Merced says:
@::remaining calm, he places in his mind who the 'Majesty' is and tries to find a way of clearly distinguishing him from the others for future recognition::

Psh`tl says:
@::motions for the guards to take the alien weapons::

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
@<Guard> ::walks cautiously to the AT trying not to shudder.  Reaches out his hand to take their weapons::

CSO_Gunther says:
CMO: It wrrkkn....

Psh`tl says:
@CO: Would you prefer separate accommodations, or to stay together?

CNS_Merced says:
@::unfolds from the bow, showing open palms, hoping it is taken as a sign of no weapons::

CSO_Gunther says:
::swallows, and coughs lightly:: CMO: It's working. ::eyes widen with the success::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::hopes the CO chooses "together"::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: is feeling the tingling himself::

Xchin`tk says:
@::grins a strange looking buggy grin at the CO:: CO: I'm sure we'll see you later. ::turns to the guards:: Show them to their quarters

CMO_Daetalus says:
CSO: Frrrrrrr yoooou

TO_Kryyon says:
@::feels naked without her weapon::

Psh`tl says:
@::hoping they choose together as they will be easier to watch::

XO_Zax says:
::standing at the viewscreen eyes wide with the wonder at the beauty of the crystals::

CSO_Gunther says:
::exhales sharply, then sees the CMO starting to look a bit unsteady also...grabs his arm to help him stay upright::

Kst`chck says:
@::Goes down to the Guard and looks at the Phasers::

CMO_Daetalus says:
CSO: shalllll, weeeee hp crrrrrrrrrw

CSO_Gunther says:
CMO: Eeeasy....

XO_Zax says:
::text:: SO: Results of the diagnostic?

CNS_Merced says:
@::wishing he had time to study this race more fully, recognizing that much of the inflections and such are lost in the UT::

Psh`tl says:
@::looks around at Xchin'tk and Kst'chck waiting for the CO's reply::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::wonders how to answer that question then holds up a single finger::

CSO_Gunther says:
::coughs again:: CMO: I think it's ready.

Psh`tl says:
@::unsure what the upheld appendage signifies::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: feeling better but still stuttering almost every word :: CSO: Now that you and I have found something that appears to work, lets let the crew in on it.

SO_Sarek says:
::starts the diagnostic::

TO_Kryyon says:
@::looks at the CO with a strange expression on her face::

CNS_Merced says:
@::taps on the CO's shoulder and demonstrates a gathering motion for the concept of 'together'::

Psh`tl says:
@::Decides to take a guess:: Guard: Show them to their quarters and keep them all together

Host Cl’ckt’c says:
@<Guard> ::Looks at the his leader then back at the AT warily and motions for them to follow him to their quarters::

CMO_Daetalus says:
:: tells the computer to tell the crew to report to sickbay for inoculation.::

Kst`chck says:
@::After looking at the phaser then heads back and plops back at his place beside Xchin'tk::

Psh`tl says:
@Xchin'tk: Not very bright creatures are they?

SO_Sarek says:
::starts the diagnostic::
