U.S.S. Pendragon - 10103.10

Supporting Cast

Merak								Hazzem
Commander Sekhmet						Jyg Lo
OPS Zephyr							Bafii

Host DesertWind says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon is currently at ST 74 going through a long needed refit.  The majority of the crew has been given time off.  The command staff however has been assigned to the USS Biishe, a Saber vessel to assist in a good will mission.  They are currently in orbit around the third planet in the Cordon system.

The AT sent below to discover the corstag has succeeded, only to be shrunk down to the size of ants by the inhabitants of the city they have discovered… located on top of the corstag.

In orbit, an ion storm approaches.  The ship has lost contact with the AT except through the CMO and FCO's telepathic abilities.  Approaching the planet, just outside of the asteroid belt, a Romulan ship approaches.

Merak says:
@::In the library with the AT::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Any idea where it is?

Merak says:
@::Is searching for the device::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: We still have not located you... scans have revealed nothing...~~~

Commander_Sekhmet says:
%<Terak> ::presses the comm button:: *Sek*: We are ready for you in Command.

OPS_Zephyr says:

TO_Jeff says:
%::on Romulan ship::

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Keep on trying~~~~

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% *Terak*: Very good, SubCommander. I will be up there in a moment. Prepare our... guess for the arrival.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::watches Merak search with growing frustration::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, they remain shrunk, attempting to ascertain their location.

Merak says:
@::frowns::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> *TO*: Report to Command for transport, Starfleet.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Why are you frowning?  Can't you find it?  ::starting to get a bit panicky::

OPS_Zephyr says:
CIV: Can you take tactical please

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, suggest altering scans to operate at a much higher frequency to compensate for reduction in stature...

TO_Jeff says:
%*<Terak>* OK

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Sees the CTO wandering around:: :: whispering:: CTO: What have you found out??

TO_Jeff says:
%::heads to command

Merak says:
@CTO: It's not what I'm searching for, the device is over there ::points at a glass covered pillar with the device inside it::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::walks out of the turbolift and glances around at her crew before taking her command chair. Terak: Time of arrival?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  We are trying to find... wait, there it is.  ::runs over to the glass case and peers in::

TO_Jeff says:
%::while walking to command tries to find some to telepath::

OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Try it

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Then what are you searching for?

Merak says:
@CMO: Be careful.........

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: wonders what the CTO is talking about and follows cautiously::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::turns:: Sek: Five standard minutes, Commander. Shall I hail them again?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::nods, wondering where their guest is... contemplating sending centurions to find him::

TO_Jeff says:
~~~FCO:Hello, This is TO Jeff Is anyone there ?~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks at the device in the case and wonders if it is operational::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: what have you found?

Merak says:
@CTO: The old texts that shows how to initiate it

FCO_Rofax says:
::alters frequency to match reduction in away team's size and begins high frequency scan of surface near landing site::

TO_Jeff says:
%::arrives::

OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: ETA until Romulan vessel reaches our position?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  That.  ::points::  Its supposed to be able to turn us back to normal size.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> COM Biishe: Federation vessel, this is the RSE Kamman. Respond.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Approximately four minutes sir.

TO_Jeff says:
%CO: I’m here

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  How do we open this case?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, approaching ion storm has accelerated.  ETA, 30 minutes.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::looks over her shoulder at the ene... guest:: TO: Are you ready for transport to your vessel?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: Really?

Merak says:
@CTO: You simply do not, if you try there are about 10 energy turrets that will fry you from inside out

TO_Jeff says:
%CO: Yes

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Understood..   any luck with the sensor modifications?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Yes, really... if we can get at it.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Can you shut the energy off?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Nothing yet sir, however the ion storm has increased in strength.

FCO_Rofax says:
::continues to scan area around shuttle's landing site::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Did you get any information from the Biishe?

Merak says:
@CTO: It is unknown to us how to disable the turrets, it is a secret that died with our ancestors. Only one old text shows us the way to use the device

TO_Jeff says:
~~~FCO:Is anyone there?~~~

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: Ok ~~~~FCO: We have found a device which we could use to change us back to normal, I am going to set my tricorder to maximum output.  Try to localize our position using the signature~~~~

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: RSE Kamman: This is the Biishe... go ahead

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::thinks the CSO picked a very bad time to take a nap::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Old Text?  Does it say anything about how to get at it?

FCO_Rofax says:
::shakes off secondary voice in his head::   ~~~CMO: I will continues scans, sir.  I am picking up another being on this telepathic link.  Do you hear it?~~~

Merak says:
@CTO: It should since our ancestors built this place ::looks around::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> COM Biishe: We are about to rendezvous at your position and deliver your package. Are you ready to receive us

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
CIV: Have any experience with transporters?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  So where is this text?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: sets his tricorder to emit a high energy poleron pulse upwards:: CTO: Watch out, I'm trying to signal the ship physically.

FCO_Rofax says:
::isolates scans to tricorder signatures::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: We would be glad for the delivery.  Please signal when ready.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Okay... just do it away from this display case.

TO_Jeff says:
~~~FCO:I'm TO Jeff anyone there?~~~

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: I heard something, but I thought it was you?  Is there another telepath on the ship?

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~

Merak says:
@CTO: It must be hidden. Our ancestors tried to erase all ways that can return us to our normal size

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Your normal size?  You used to be bigger?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Perhaps if they were to set a tricorder or phaser on overload - that might help you pinpoint them

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> :::glances back at Sekhmet and receives a nod:: COM: Biishe. We are ready. Standby to receive your officer.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: Thank you for your assistance.

Merak says:
@CTO: Yes, this man in front of you ::points at himself:: is not normally like this, but about bigger than you are normally

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: sets up the Tricorder and backs away giving the order to fire verbally to the tricorder hoping it will work::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::signals the transport operator to deliver Jeff::

Merak says:
@CTO: You see, long ago our planet was suffering a terrible crisis because of our ancestors. They decided to reduce their size so our home is not affected by us.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Not that I am aware of.  Scanning for your signal now.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  What sort of crisis?

Host DesertWind TO beams to the Biishe (Transporter.wav)

TO_Jeff says:
::materializes::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
*TO* Welcome aboard - if you would, please report to the bridge as soon as possible

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::scans the case with a tricorder hoping to find a way to turn the energy off::

Merak says:
@Merak: what's the word?.......::thinks:: Oh environmental

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Status of AT?

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Have you located the pulse?~~~~

TO_Jeff says:
*OPS*: ok

TO_Jeff says:
::walks to the bridge::

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  In the background, the AT can hear the sound of music.

TO_Jeff says:
::arrives::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::looks again at the viewscreen but stops as he feels a hand on his shoulder as Sekhmet stands beside him::

TO_Jeff says:
All: Hello

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS:  Sir, I have detected a faint signal.  I have about a square meter of where they could possibly be.

TO_Jeff says:
all: Where's my console ?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Environmental?  It looks like a beautiful world to me.

Merak says:
@::Hums to the sound of music::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% COM Biishe: Federation vessel, have you acquired the mineral we need as of yet?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: hears music:: Self: what is that:: Sticks his finger in his ear trying to clear it out if need be::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Got it sir.  However, the area is quite large compared to your size.~~~

TO_Jeff says:
::looks at the FCO:: ~~~FCO: Was I contacting you?~~~

Merak says:
@CMO: Forgive us, but we love music

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  Colors spread out on the shield around the enlarger.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::still scanning the case with her tricorder... Notices the colours::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Is the device to return them to size in the same area?

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ TO: You may have been.  I was unaware you were telepathic.  I wrote it off as background noise, I apologize.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  What the heck is that?  ::points at the shield::

Merak says:
@ALL: Please, stay away from the pillar, this is a sign of the security system

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Please beam down a set of transport enhancers shrunken to our proportions~~~~

TO_Jeff says:
~~~ FCO: My Bad for not telling you~~~

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: To my understanding, it is in the area, just in several small parts.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: Not at the moment.  We will keep you apprised.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::steps back::  Merak:  What does it mean?

Merak says:
@CTO: It's a form of an energy shield

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Can we beam it and them up in that square meter to re-enlarge them on the ship??/

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::look darkens:: COM Biishe: Apprised...? Unacceptable. Why have you not retrieved the material?

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Exactly how small would that be sir?  I can guesstimate...~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::goes over the tricorder readings trying to make sense of it all::

Merak says:
@::Is getting worried:: CTO: I'm not sure

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, I suppose we could.  However, I am unsure how many of the locals would be pleased they were brought along....

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: unfortunately, we are only about an inch tall~~~~

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
TO: Please take tactical and assist in pinpointing the AT members

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Self:  There must be a way to shut this off.....

TO_Jeff says:
OPS:Ok

TO_Jeff says:
::heads to console::

Merak says:
@ALL: But I beg you to stay away from the pillar

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, they estimate their size to be approximately 2.5 cm tall.

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: We might have a way to get that thing out of that tube and onto that ship and then to bring us back up and use it on us.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::notices the scan frequency is producing colours  of a different pattern.  Scans it some more::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::turns:: Terak: We cannot wait on these simpletons. Prepare our people for immediate transport.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Sir, we have the possibility of being the entire area aboard and could attempt to enlarge you here.  The ion storm is approaching and has increased in strength...~~~

Merak says:
@CMO: I refuse

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Biishe: There have been complications with the planet's inhabitants - we are expediting the matter.  Please remain patient and stand by

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Are they in contact with any of the locals?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% COM Biishe. Unacceptable. ::closes comm::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::signals the transport of a group of centurions and science technicians to an LZ near the mineral::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::changes the frequency of her tricorder and scans again::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
TO: Monitor the Romulan ship - what are they doing?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, two locals that I know of.  However, my initial telepathic link to locate them reveals hundreds, possibly thousands of inhabitants.

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: Why do you object?

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  Again the color patterns change on the field.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Have then discussed our situation with the locals - are they willing to help?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% Terak: I am beaming down with the next team, you will be in charge until I return. Do not let them interfere.

Merak says:
@CMO: This device is a historical object from our ancestor, removing it from its holy place is a spit to the face of our race ::turns to CTO:: And stay away from it will you?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders what that is all about, and wishes yet again the CSO were awake::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Why does the pattern change when I scan it?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
:: notices on his panel that the Romulans are beaming down ::

Merak says:
@CTO: It must be a warning, the system is probably monitoring you

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Notices that he is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place:: Merak: I apologize for my ignorance.  But how do you propose we regain our correct size?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: They are attempting to assemble the device to return them to normal size.  If we constrict the confinement beam, it may help locate them sir...

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: I advise that you recall your people... their presence will only hinder our efforts

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ <R-T1> ::comms the ship as the centurions spread out and set up a secure line to the mineral::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::steps closer to the pillar, remembering what the CSO said about them being nearly indestructable with their compressed molecules::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> Sek: Do I respond, Commander?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: What is the status of their mission?  Can we get the mineral?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: looks up at the CTO:: :: whispers:: CTO: what are you doin?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% ::steps onto the Command transport pad:: Terak: You are in command now. You decide. ::beams down to join her people::

Merak says:
@::calms down:: CMO: Our ancestors did not prohibit us from using the device, but they warned us of who would use it that he is not part of us. they explain how to open the pillar and how to initiate the device

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Trying to figure this out.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::standing very close to the shield...nearly touching it.  Scans once again with tricorder::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Have you managed to locate any of the mineral?  Can we extract it?  The Romulans have dispatched an AT.~~~

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::raises a brow slightly and turns to the comm again:: COM Biishe: We will hinder nothing, as I see no efforts. Explain yourself at once.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
CIV: Monitor the Romulans movements

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: Would you be so kind as to help us and you use the device to return us to our correct size.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ ::joins her people and leads them off on a quick march to the mineral site::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Attempting to get a fix on the mineral now, sir.  ETA of the storm is 20 minutes.  It continues to grow in strength, sir.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::tentatively pokes a finger into the shield::

Merak says:
@CMO: I'm willing to help, but you must cooperate with me and stay away from the shield

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  As the CTO plays around with frequency the colors work into a pattern

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: Back up

Merak says:
@CTO: Stay back

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: The presence of your people on the planet puts mine at risk.. I cannot tolerate that.  Have them stand by - 20 minutes is all I am asking

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::stares in fascination, unmoving::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: I apologize for her.

FCO_Rofax says:
::begins plotting quickest escape route out of the system::

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: I don’t know yet, I hope we are about to be returned to our correct size~~~~

Merak says:
@::smiles at CTO:: CMO: there is nothing wrong with being curious

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The AT along with the inhabitants feel an earthquake of greater magnitude then that created by the Pendragon crew.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::sneers:: COM Biishe: My people do not have 20 seconds, let alone 20 minutes, Starfleet.

Merak says:
@::Feels the grounds shaking:: Self: now what?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: nearly falls down::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Tell the AT they need to get this settled now... the Romulans have beamed down

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::struggles to stay on her feet.  CMO/Merak:  What is that?!

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: What is happening?~~~~

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, the may be able to reverse the process on the surface.  They are attempting to reverse the procedure now.

Merak says:
@ALL: Everyone outside, to the shelters

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ ::approaches the mineral, ordering her people to move faster as the techs start taking out mining and storage equipment::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Tell them speed is of the essence

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The CTO can see what looks like music.  And below the panel keys.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: The Romulans have arrived and dispatched an AT.  The ion storm is closing in.  Time is running low.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::ignores Merak and looks at the keys::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: Please help us and we will help you find out what is going on.

Merak says:
@ALL: there is no time, to the shelters

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Aye, sir.  ::monitors scans of storm again::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::looks at the music, and keys it in::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Self: Crap~~~~FCO: Thank you for the update, we are trying~~~~ Merak/CTO: Romulans have beamed down.  That is the cause of the quakes.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: adjust our orbit to buy us the most time with that storm - seconds may count

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Aye, sir.

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The buildings shake and people run screaming in various directions.

CIV_Sarek says:
starts monitoring the Romulan ship::

Merak says:
@::hears the name, snaps:: CMO: What are they doing here?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Romulans!  Does the Biishe know the city is on top of the Corstag deposit?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: Would you return us to our size to deal with the Romulans?

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: We will beam the entire area if necessary, sir.  The Romulans area getting impatient.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::Plays the music again on the keyboard::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ <R-T1> ::draws to a halt at the edge of the toy city::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@~~~~FCO: We are trying~~~~

FCO_Rofax says:
::alters orbit to keep Biishe moving away from storm::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: insistently:: Merak: Need I not remind you that time is short?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::scans the shield to see if the music had any effect on it::

FCO_Rofax says:
::scans surface again for AT of normal size::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
CIV: What is the location of the Romulans on the planet to our AT?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <R-SO> Terak: Sir, the ion storm is fastly approaching. We should break orbit.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  If we are to protect you, we must return to our normal size!

CIV_Sarek says:
OPS: one moment sir.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Can we beam out the Romulan AT?  They are displaying an act of aggression, sir.

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: I don’t think the Romulans know the city is on top of the deposit.

Merak says:
@CTO: Without the text I cannot help yo......::Looks at the floor, jumps in joy:: there it is

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: This is their area, we have no jurisdiction - I'm saving that for a last resort

Merak says:
@::Picks up the book, starts reading::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ <R-T1SO> Sek: Commander, I am reading organics within this... construct. The mineral is below.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Tell the AT we need to get a lock on them and the mineral - if we can get that up here we have a bargaining chip

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::once again plays the music on the keyboard::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS:  New scans reveal the mineral is directly under the city.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  I don't think the Romulans will even know the city is here.  We didn't.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Can we bring it all up?

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The forcefield around the enlarger vanishes.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> R-SO: Not yet. Inform me when we have 2 minutes. ::sits in Sekhmet's chair, heady with power::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::grabs the enlarger::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: If we can get a lock on you and the mineral, we can beam everything up and halt the Romulans in their tracks.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Merak:  Quickly.  Turn us back!

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Stand By~~~~

Merak says:
@CTO: wait, don't go in yet ::walks in the hall, starts singing the song to disable the turrets::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ ::looks down at the city:: R-T1SO: Organics? There are people in this thing?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: I could try sir, but I am a pilot, not an engineer...  ::frowns::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::hands Merak the enlarger::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Get the TO to help

TO_Jeff says:
FCO:Let me help you, I love engineering

Merak says:
@::takes the enlarger:: ALL: Quickly, outside the city

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::follows Merak at a run, dragging the CMO and CSO along::

Merak says:
@::starts running outside the library::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ <R-T1SO> ::nods::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ R-T1SO: No matter.

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: follows the CTO and Merak::

FCO_Rofax says:
TO: Please do.  I am having enough difficulty keeping my lock on the CMO....

Merak says:
@::points:: AT: Position yourselves there

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::stands where indicated and draws phaser::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$R-T1: Begin retrieval. Centurions, spread out and secure the area and set up the enhancers.

Merak says:
@::sees the Romulans closing, takes the shrinker out and aims at the Romulans::

CIV_Sarek says:
OPS::  I’m sorry sir I do not know but I will try.

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  As the Romulans begin retrieval, they destroy parts of the city.

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: Would it be all right with your people if your city were moved several meters from its previous location to prevent finding your city?

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  As the rays from the shrinker touch the Romulans, they shrink in size.

Merak says:
@Self: my city!

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Status?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::holds phaser on the Romulans::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, the Romulans have begun extraction of the mineral....

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Can we lock onto them?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
$ ::feels dizzy for a moment then focuses on the phaser pointed at her:: CTO: What do you think you are doing?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: I can try sir, I'm not sure how much we can take....

FCO_Rofax says:
TO: Can you assist with the lock?

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Merak: I think that it would be appropriate for us to help move your city since it has been found. May we try?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: On the Romulans I mean.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@Sekhmet:  I am asking you the same thing.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Ten minutes till ion storm reaches us, sir.  ::checks course again::

Merak says:
@Sekhmet: What in the name of our ancestors do you think your doing here breaking our treaty ::snaps::

Merak says:
@CMO: I have no choice but to, please go ahead

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::signals her centurions to draw their weapons:: Merak: Never mind the treaty. Why have we been... altered?

FCO_Rofax says:
::attempts to lock onto Romulans on the surface with transporter::

FCO_Rofax says:
TO: Can you get the lock on the Romulans?

CTO_Kyrron says:
@thinks to self:  Treaty?

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Beam the buffers to the surface and move us and the city 15 meters from the cities previous border~~~~

TO_Jeff says:
~~~CMO:What's happening down there~~~

Merak says:
@Sekhmet: You have destroyed a part of my city, you broke the treaty of sheranon by entering our atmosphere, how is that for response

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, Ion storm is increasing in strength by the minute.  I'm not sure the Biishe will survive it, I know the shuttle won't.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ Merak: We did not intend destruction, but our need is urgent. And your... allies, will do nothing to help us. ::glares at the Starfleet officers::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Get me a status from the AT

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::glares back::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, the CMO is requesting buffers placed around the target area and the entire city beamed.

Host Karri says:
ACTION:  As the storm approaches the planet, a Coalesce of colors is seen.

Merak says:
@Sekhmet: they are good people, they helped us by moving our city ::turns around to AT:: And I grant your wish ::enlarges the AT::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
OPS: By all means - do it

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <R-SO> Terak: Sir, we cannot wait any longer. We may lose the ship!

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::feels very strange for a moment::

FCO_Rofax says:
::beams enhancers to surface to surround the area::
FCO_Rofax  (Transporter.wav)

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::curses loudly:: Merak: Traitor!

Host Karri says:
ACTION: The AT slowly grows...

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, transport failed... I'm detecting a shield around the planet.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: A shield... communicate that to the AT

TO_Jeff says:
~~~CMO:What's happening down there?~~~

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Once we have reached correct height, beam us and the mineral back aboard~~~~

Merak says:
@Sekhmet: You and I need a little talk ::summons the guards:: Guards: To the station

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> R-FCO: Break us out of orbit. Warp 1 until we are out of danger.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: I am detecting a shield around the planet.  Transports will not get through.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COMM:  Biishe:  What's happening up there?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <R-FCO> ::breaks orbit and jumps the ship to warp::

TO_Jeff says:
~~~CTO: Not much~~~

CMO_Daetalus says:
@Self: Grand

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::doesn't move:: Merak: I am going nowhere. Return us to our previous state, now.

FCO_Rofax says:
::eyes approaching storm on sensors::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::jumps back startled::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
*CTO* We are attempting to bring you back, but we are encountering a shield... find the source and clear it

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Keep us in orbit until the last moment

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The planet shields give off a harmonics that has the ion storm Detouring away from it.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Aye sir.

Merak says:
@Sekhmet: You are in my territory, what I say goes. And if I want you moved to the station, you WILL move to the station

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
TO: Find a way to get the AT up here

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Self: it must be protecting the planet from the storm:: COMM: FCO: How long until the storm passes?

TO_Jeff says:
OPS:Yes,Sir

CTO_Kyrron says:
@COMM:  Biishe:  We'll try.  ::grumbles::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
*CMO/CTO* Check with your contact on the surface about it if possible

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, detecting change in ion storm's course.  It is diverting away from the planet.

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ <R-Centurions> ::don't like the tone of that and raises their weapons, leveling them at Merak::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: What?  What caused that?>

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::wonders how the heck they are supposed to do that::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: It appears to be a harmonic effect of the shield sir..

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ R-Cs: No, lower your weapons, but do not holster them.

Merak says:
@::The guards raise their weapons at Sekhmet::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
Merak: Lead on, traitor.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
:: smiles :: FCO: They seem to know a few things down there... good.

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: If the storm goes away from the planet beam us and the mineral aboard~~~~

FCO_Rofax says:
::checks again to make sure the storm is moving away::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
*CMO* The ion storm has been diverted - once the shield is down we can beam you and the mineral up

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::with a sigh takes out her tricorder yet again and starts scanning the shields over the planet::

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: It appears to be moving away now, sir.  The shield is diverting it.~~~

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Maybe we should head back to our shuttle?

Merak says:
@Guards: If they resist, shoot them. Now take them, and position them each in separate holding cells. I have paper work to do

Host DesertWind says:
ACTION:  The ion storm continues on its way, bypassing the area around the planet.  Slowly the shields go down.

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::tricorder readings show the shield dropping::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, shield is dropping...

CMO_Daetalus says:
~~~~FCO: Once the shield goes down beam the mineral up, we will follow in the shuttle~~~~

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO/TO: Coordinate with the AT and get the mineral and them up here safely in whatever method is necessary

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  The shield is gone.

FCO_Rofax says:
~~~ CMO: Understood>~~~

TO_Jeff says:
OPS: Ok,sir

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::walks back toward the shuttle, dragging the mysteriously silent CSO along::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO/TO: Make sure you don't cause any damage to the planet or the city

Merak says:
@::Guards lead the Romulan AT to the station::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: Good, the FCO will beam the mineral up, we need to get back and use the shuttle to get back.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, the AT is approaching the shuttle.  They are requesting we beam out the mineral.  Shall we move the city first or beam in a substitute for the mineral?

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::allows her people to be herded, glaring acidly at Merak as he walks off::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::enjoys the scenery once again, as they walk away from the lake::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::rounds a bend and sees the shuttle looking just fine::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Coming?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Follow the CMO's plan... move the city to safety then beam up the mineral

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Let me know when we have the mineral so I can hail the Romulans

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
:: smiles oh so slightly ::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::reaches the shuttle and opens the hatch::

FCO_Rofax says:
::scans for alternate location to transport city to and locks on::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
TO: Prepare the cargo bay for the arrival of the mineral

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::drags the CSO in, deposits him in a seat::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::sits in pilot seat and checks the shuttle systems while waiting for the CMO::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, located a position 15 meters away from previous location.  Initiating transport on your mark sir.

Merak says:
@::Walks to the station:: Guard: Summon the Romulan leader

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
TO: Have the CIV assist you

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: Gets into the shuttle and starts the checklist for launch:: CTO: Ready?

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Commence move

FCO_Rofax says:
::begins transport::
FCO_Rofax  (Transporter.wav)

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: puts his seat belt on::

CIV_Sarek says:
::goes with the TO::

TO_Jeff says:
OPS: OK

Host Karri City is moved to a lovely Valley on the other side of the lake.... well, Valley for them, just off the slop of a hill. (Transporter.wav)

CTO_Kyrron says:
@CMO:  Ready when you are.  ::closes hatch::

FCO_Rofax says:
::locks onto mineral and initiates transport::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::engages thrusters and gently takes off::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@CTO: I think I’ve seen enough of this planet to sustain me for a while.

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Sir, city has been re-located, locking onto mineral now.

Merak says:
@::The guard comes back::

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::chuckles at the CMO's statement::

FCO_Rofax  (Transporter.wav)

TO_Jeff says:
::prepares the cargo bay::

Host Karri says:
ACTION:  The mineral appears in the cargo bay.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Excellent work

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Got it sir!

CTO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  Biishe:  We are airborne and enroute.

CIV_Sarek says:
::helps prepare::

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: We have the mineral.. what is the status of your Away Team?

TO_Jeff says:
::looks up:: ACK ::runs out of way::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::gazes calmly at the guard as her own people flank her:: Guard: What do you want?

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Mineral has reached the cargo bay, sir...

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
FCO: Excellent, prepare to break orbit

CTO_Kyrron says:
@::clears the planet's atmosphere and enters coordinates for the Biishe::

CIV_Sarek says:
::looks at the TO::

TO_Jeff says:
::comes back to bridge::

FCO_Rofax says:
::plots course out of system and waits for order to engage::

CMO_Daetalus says:
@:: is ready to get back to his closet of a sickbay and start the excruciatingly painful physicals of the new officers::

Commander_Sekhmet says:
% <Terak> ::appears on their screen:: COM Biishe: Our away team has disappeared, and you had better have an explanation for it. We are charging our weapons.

Merak says:
@<Guard> Sekhmet: The ministre wants to see you, alone ::nods at her centurions::

FCO_Rofax says:
OPS: Aye, sir.

CIV_Sarek says:
::follows him::

TO_Jeff says:
~~~Terak:They were shrunk~~~

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
COMM: Kamman: As I said - the inhabitants of the planets.  I will send the information so you can retrieve your crew then follow us to disperse the mineral

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::takes two of her centurions and follows the guards:: Guard: He had better hope he knows what he has gotten himself into by locking my people up.

Host OPS_Zephyr says:
:: send the info to the Romulan ship ::

Merak says:
@<Guard> Sekhmet: I said ALONE, Romulan

Commander_Sekhmet says:
@ ::walks with her guards:: Guard: I know. I heard you.
