Host Cathy_ says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10212.14 The Pendragon is currently investigating the deaths of over a billion adults in what appears to be a case of mass patricide. The Away Team (hereby known as those who drew the short straw) is currently trapped upon the planet as darkness falls.

They have encountered a rather strange “child” who appears to be the leader of the planet's children…children who are far less developed intellectually than normal, which should have been an advantage to this team, but so far, the leader has resisted the Away Team's attempt at friendliness. As twilight falls, so too does the Away Team's chances of surviving this encounter......in.....the twilight zone.......

@CSO: do you think a shuttle could get through the field?

Host CO_Zax says:

@XO:  Federation has plenty of shuttles, I don’t think you will find any objectors here on the planet 

Host Gilthanas says:
Scenery: As the sun sets, the moon can be seen hovering over the waterfall.  It is a beautiful night.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  That's not the problem, Ensign.  Something down on that planet is interrupting with systems.  We don't know if it's the computer or the systems themselves.

CMO_Shiar says:
@CNS: just a bit. I'm not sure whether that's a healthy glow or not though.

FCO_DeRidder says:

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: 'Cause why?

FCO_DeRidder says:

XO_O`Dunn says:
@CSO: Keep trying to find out what.

Sdog says:
@XO:  Cauuuuuse  I don’t know!

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: Why?

CMO_Shiar says:
@Sdog: do you want something for that glow?

CSO_Hull says:
@XO:  Working, our resources are limited however

SO_Toms says:

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::smiles::

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO: Shall I ready the shuttle as a last ditch effort Ma'am?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Prepare a shuttle and have it on standby.

CMO_Shiar says:
@Sdog: that glow doesn't look too healthy. I'm a doctor, I could help with that.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::can't really get over the change in the child.  When he first emerged he was more... more.... mature... ageless::

FCO_DeRidder says:

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: "Mister"? I'd have to say you DO need my help. What can I do for you?

FCO_DeRidder says:
::Stands up::  CO: I can give it a shot.....  There is a lot of telepathic clutter in their last known vicinity....   

FCO_DeRidder says:

@XO:  Can you play sacrifice for me?

FCO_DeRidder says:
CO: Captain... I'm in contact with Mr Luchena....  

Sdog says:
@::Smiles again.  Once again, the smile is older then his years.::  XO:  It means you get on a slab and we kill you... It’s a lot of fun.

FCO_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS: Jeez am I glad to hear your voice....~~~

SO_Toms says:
::Nods at OPS:: CO: Aye ma'am :: looks away, a small look of... fear and doubt cross his face::

@~~~FCO:  We need to get out of here.  Some strange child is taking about sacrifices. ~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: No, sorry. Doesn't sound like fun at all.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: But if it's so fun, why don't YOU get on the slab....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets notification from TR2 that the lamps and enhancers have been beamed to the surface::

OPS: Understood.

CSO_Hull says:
@::Begins another round of sensor scans with his tricorder::

Host Gilthanas says:

Sdog says:
@XO:  Oh, did I forget to mention, you don't have a choice...  Me get on the slab, not a chance, I'm the one in charge here...  ::Smiles once again.  Closing his eyes he concentrates on the XO really hard.::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the FCO:: FCO: Can't the CMO knock the child out with a hypo?

CNS_Luchena says:
@::sees some equipment materialize and nonchalantly strolls over to have a look at it::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: Sorry, no.

CMO_Shiar says:
@CNS: what we got?

Sdog says:
@::Feels the XO lift from the ground.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hands over her console to a sub-ordinate as she gets up ready to head to the Shuttlebay::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  Slowly the XO begins to feel her feet lift from the ground.

FCO_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS: Are you guys in any immediate danger?  Pattern Enhancers are in route to your last known coordinates.  Is the CMO able to subdue the child in question?~~~

CSO_Hull says:
@::Walks over to assist with the equipment::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CMO:  Pattern enhancers and lights.  ::picks up an enhancer and moves to place it::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~~FCO:  We got the stuff.  Something strange is happening though~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
@KID: Now you put me down this INSTANT.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the FCO and the SO:  FCO/SO:  You two ready?

Sdog says:
@::Child like once again:: XO:  Nope, nope, nope

CSO_Hull says:
@Sdog:  Put the Commander down this instant!!!  

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: sets up some lamps::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::reaches up towards Kerina::

FCO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the Captain with a concerned look::  OPS: I still need to make the necessary system adjustments to the shuttle.  It'll take me 5 minutes tops.

CMO_Shiar says:
@XO: I’m guessing his parents are in space or on a slab in my sickbay

Sdog says:
@::Laughs::  XO:  Yeah right....  ::Looks at the CSO::  CSO: Wanna play too?

Host CO_Zax says:

@Sdog:  Please.  Put her down.

FCO_DeRidder says:
::nods to OPS::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~FCO:  He is levitating Commander O'Dunn~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
@XO: ooh sorry, that probably didn't help did it.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::decides to just relax and enjoy the ride, being in yet another utterly helpless situation where she has no control of events::

@CNS: this argument is hopeless.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The children slowly begin to move in closer to the AT.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Can we attack the power source?

Sdog says:
@CNS:  But you came from my stars...  :Smiles innocently::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:   we don’t know where that is...exactly

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::brings shuttle power levels to normal::  ALL: Navigational systems coming up... Still no landing area.....   ::continues scans::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::whispers::  CMO:  I know, but we are buying time.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@SDOG: So what you're saying is that you find all facts irrelevant, and are just going to say and do whatever you want, regardless of your ability to justify it logically?

Sdog says:
@::Nods:: XO:  Yep.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: I have them on my forward navigational scanners.  ETA, 30 Seconds....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Bring the team up with transporters, when Cmdr O'Dunn gives us the signal.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The FCO sees the clearing the AT first appeared in.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@SDOG: Oh, ok.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::shrugs::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::sighs::

CMO_Shiar says:
@Sdog: what's behind there? ::points to waterfall::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#COMM:XO:  Shuttle to Cmdr O'Dunn.  Sir, we're 30 seconds from your position.  We can beam you to the shuttle when you’re ready.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@SDOG: That's a shame...and here I thought you were smart....

Sdog says:
@::Smiles as the children begin surrounding their sacrifices.::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::looks out the window after bringing the emergency transporter online, and points::  OPS: There's the clearing....

Sdog says:
@CMO:  Nothing for you to worry about.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@COMM OPS: "Yesterday" comes to mind.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::pulls out his phaser and takes aim at one of the children surrounding them::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Beam the team aboard.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::slows shuttle to 1/8 power::

Sdog says:
@XO:  I am smart!  Your trapped not me...

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The children begin to attack the AT.

CMO_Shiar says:
@Sdog: show us and I'll give you some morphine

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::throws the stun grenade suddenly, out ahead of her::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::fires point blank at the nearest child::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::brings shuttle to all stop and energizes transporters::

Sdog says:
@CMO:  What is this morphine?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#SO:  See if you can locate the origin of that energy field.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The stun grenade envelops an area of the children, knocking them out.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Has the shuttle reached the way team?

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: pulls out phaser and starts shooting at kids, not knowing what setting it's on. :: Sdog: it's a drug that makes you happy.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::fires again::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Yes, they are energizing transporters at this time

SO_Toms says:
#OPS: Aye ma'am ::starts scanning the area inside the force field, looking for a power source::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::starts firing herself:: COMM OPS: NOW would be a good time!

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The counselor’s phaser takes out two of the children rushing for him.

Sdog says:
@CMO:  I am happy.  ::Getting angry that the children are getting hurt.::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::continues firing::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::brings the shuttle's phasers on-line::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the AT are being attacked!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Get them up!

CMO_Shiar says:
@::fires some more::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  Rocks are flung at the AT as some of the children become more cautious.

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Are the transporters working yet?

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::tapping on the panel::  OPS: I've energized...   Pattern lock is...   ::pauses while playing with the settings::

Sdog says:
@::Closing his eyes he visualizes the adults lifting off the ground...  Then he teleports them to the sacrifice area.::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::stops firing and takes aim at one of the children who are flinging rocks::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::still firing on wide stun while dodging rocks::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  the AT are still on the planet

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The AT find themselves at a large sacrificial table in the cave.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks around frantically, phaser still drawn::

CMO_Shiar says:
@Self: ooh great.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::fingers flying along the panel, then pounds it::  ALL: DAMNIT!

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::isn't about to let a little thing like suddenly being teleported stop her from continuing to stun everyone under thirty::

CMO_Shiar says:
@ALL: anyone hurt?

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain they are no longer on the planet, but I did not see a transport signature, I believe they were teleported by Sdog

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Where is the AT?  Locate them immediately!

SO_Toms says:
#::looks puzzled:: OPS: The only thing that seems to have enough power to be creating the field is the alien child

CNS_Luchena says:
@::in a shaky voice::  CMO:  Fine here.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: I've lost them.....  Something took the pattern away from the containment field.  Scanning for the AT now.....

Sdog says:
@::Skips to the cave::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::looks at him:: SO:  What?

XO_O`Dunn says:
@ALL: Keep firing. Maybe they'll transport us yet....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Find them, fast!

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  I hope this cave isn't shielded.

Host Gilthanas says:
Scenery:  A few of the 'older' children swim after Sdog as he walks across the water to the cave.

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: does as the XO orders and fires at the table::

SO_Toms says:
#::shrugs:: OPS: That’s all I can find ma'am, there is nothing else that has the power

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::furrows:: ALL: Ok, I've had it. Concentrate your fire on the "God".

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::still scanning::  ~~~CNS: Mikal...  Where are you guys?~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
@::nods and takes position::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#SO:  Can you lock onto that alien child?

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~FCO:  We are in a cave, presumably behind the waterfall~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
@ALL: If you don't get quick results with stun, set to kill.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The table begins to glow.

Sdog says:
@::enters the cave::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: I've got them.....   ::confirming scans::  But I can't get a lock.

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: stops firing at table::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::sees Sdog enter and fires a sustained beam::

SO_Toms says:
#OPS: Ill try ::attempts to get a lock on the alien::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::fires at Sdog, hand ready to switch the setting to kill very quickly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Land the shuttle.  We'll go after them on foot.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: They are in a cave behind the falls....   Another force field is in place at that location.....

Host Gilthanas says:
Scenery:  As the phaser fire ceases, the table starts to cool.  Fissures can be seen throughout it.

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: fires at Sdog but not really expecting any effect::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks at the table curiously::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#SO:  See if you can override that field, disrupt it somehow.

SO_Toms says:
#OPS: I cant resolve a lock ma'am, it just keeps sliding off

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::blinks:: CMO: Keep firing at the table...maximum power!

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::conducts another surface scan:: OPS: Stand by.   Scanning for a landing area....   

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION: The phaser fire irritates the god, causing a slight rash.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::fires maximum setting at the table::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::sets phaser to maximum and continues firing::

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: turns and fires at the table::

Sdog says:
@::Feels itchy all of a sudden and begins to scratch.::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::hits panel::  ALL: FINALLY!  OPS: I have a landing site in the clearing...  Stand by....

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The table starts to light up with the heat, the fissures growing wider.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Go!

CNS_Luchena says:
@::watches the table transform and continues firing at it::

CMO_Shiar says:
@::looks at Sdog:: Sdog: I could give you something for that.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::slowly puts the shuttle down in the clearing::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~~FCO:  Where are you?~~~

Sdog says:
@CMO:  NO!!!  ::Not liking what he is seeing::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::continues to pump lethal waves of energy into Sdog::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO/SO:  Arm yourselves.  Let's go.

SO_Toms says:
#OPS: The field over the falls, it isn’t as strong ::keeps trying to disrupt it::

CSO_Hull says:
::notices this on the sensor display:: CO:  Captain, the field strength is lessening

FCO_DeRidder says:
#~~~CNS: We're coming.  We've landed in the clearing.~~~

FCO_DeRidder says:
#~~~CNS: You guys alright so far?~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
@::still firing at the table::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  Energy emissions are seen to be leaving the table.  The table itself appears to be melting.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::hears the kids' reaction, and turns to join fire on the table::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods grimly:: CSO: Keep trying to transport them up....the field has to give way eventually.

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~FCO:  We're alive so far.~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#COMM: CO:  Shuttle to Pendragon. Come in please.  Captain, if you can hear this, we have landed and are going after the AT.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::decides not to say anything to Kerina about the rescue team having landed as he doesn't want the children to be tipped off::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  As the table turns to a pile of flowing metal, the energy field around the area drops.

CSO_Hull says:
*<Transporter Chief>*:  Chief, keep trying to get a lock on the AT, maintain beaming until they are onboard

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::grabs a phaser:: OPS: We could use the automated comm drum to make sure the message gets back....

CMO_Shiar says:
@CNS: what do you think of this?

CSO_Hull says:
<Transporter Chief> *CSO*:  Aye

SO_Toms says:
#::picks up a phaser with trepidation, still not liking them::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CMO:  I think they'll have to find something else to sacrifice us on.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::hears a beep on the scanner console::  OPS:  Hold on....  walks back over to the pilots station....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::nods:: FCO:  I'm on it.  ::sets up an automated signal to the Pendragon::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::still firing, thinking that it's an extraordinarily tough table::

Sdog says:
@::Tries to teleport the AT away from the table.::

CMO_Shiar says:
@:: laughs while firing::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: The field is down!  I have a transporter lock!  ::slides into the chair::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::now that the table has melted, resumes firing on Sdog::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The AT find themselves in the air briefly.

CMO_Shiar says:
@XO: can we stop yet sir?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Beam them to the shuttle immediately!

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::stops firing and aims at Sdog, but doesn't fire:: ALL: Hold your fire.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: stops firing::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: Energizing now  ::energizes emergency transporters::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::stops firing::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  Then suddenly, just before they hit the floor, they find themselves on the shuttle.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#COMM: XO:  Shuttle to O'Dunn. Sir, we have a lock.  Beaming you to the shuttle now.

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::doesn't answer, being in mid-transport, and therefore not hearing it::

XO_O`Dunn says:
@::staggers onto the shuttle's deck::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::finds himself on the shuttle::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::turns:: XO:  Welcome aboard, Sir.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the shuttle transporters have a lock on the AT, they are being beamed onto the shuttle

XO_O`Dunn says:
#OPS: Get us out of here.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::powers up the shuttle::  ALL: Everyone strap yourselves in! 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Take us back to the Pendragon.

Host CO_Zax says:
::wonders when the crew is going to stop playing with the local kiddies and get back to work::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: CSO: Thank you, Lt.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::collapses in a corner::

CMO_Shiar says:
#:: is on the shuttle:: OPS: am I glad to see you ::smiles::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  A swirl of energy appears around the Pendragon.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::smiles back:: CMO:  Are you all OK?

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Can we get a lock on the leader?

CSO_Hull says:
<Transporter Chief> CSO:  Sir!, the shuttle's transporter pulled them away from my targeting scanners, they are aboard the shuttle

SO_Toms says:
#::takes a seat, straps in, and wonders what happened ::

XO_O`Dunn says:
#::holsters her phaser:: CNS: Are you ok?

CNS_Luchena says:
#::nods at O'Dunn then hugs himself tightly::

CMO_Shiar says:
#OPS: as far as I know     CNS: you need any help over there?

CNS_Luchena says:
#CMO:  I'm fine.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::brings the shuttles impulse engines online and lifts off::  ALL: We are airborne.  ETA to the ship...  3 minutes.

CSO_Hull says:
*<Transporter Chief>* : Chief can you get a lock on the leader, Sdog?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#CMO:  Better check everyone out anyway, Lt.

XO_O`Dunn says:
#::frowns:: CNS: You're a lousy liar.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::tries to calm himself::

Host CO_Zax says:
:doesn't see the swirl but hopes that Hull does as he's the only other person on the bridge::

Sdog says:
@::Concentrates on the shuttle...and the trees nearby... branches begin to swarm the shuttle::

CSO_Hull says:
<Transporter Chief> *CSO*:  Scanning...

CNS_Luchena says:
#::looks up at Kerina and gives her a wan smile::

CMO_Shiar says:
#OPS: I plan to. I’ll check you out as well if you want. :: smiles then laughs::

CMO_Shiar says:
#::removes medical tri corder and starts scanning the away team::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION: The ship shakes as something bounces off the deflector shields.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::looks out the window::  Self: Crap!!!!  ALL: Bringing Emergency Warp Core online...  Hold on....   

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::laughs:: CMO:  No need.  Just make sure the AT are alright.

Host CO_Zax says:
::thinks its too bad that she's not a telepath::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  What's going on?

Host CO_Zax says:
::feels that shimmy:: All: What was that?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::moves up to join him::

CMO_Shiar says:
#OPS: shame

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Lt Hull?

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::sets course to the ship and engage::  OPS: You don't wanna know...  ::points out the window::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The shuttle rocks under the turbulence being thrown at it.

CMO_Shiar says:
#ALL: is everyone ok?

CNS_Luchena says:
#::closes his eyes and tries to imagine he is somewhere else... someplace calm and peaceful::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::looks::  FCO:  Oh.  Can you blast us out of this?

XO_O`Dunn says:
#:::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: What's going on? ::holds onto the side of the shuttle::

CMO_Shiar says:
#:: falls over::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::engages the warp drive::  OPS: Yeah... 

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  Looks like our alien child is throwing a tantrum, Sir.

SO_Toms says:
#::stays seated::

XO_O`Dunn says:
#OPS: He's been throwing one for days, it appears.

CSO_Hull says:
<Transporter Chief> *CSO*:  No lock Sir, indistinguishable from the other children

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Then do so.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  As the warp drive is engaged on a planetary surface, the shuttle finds itself in a type of wormhole.

Sdog says:
@::Begins swirling the dirt around.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  No transporter lock Captain

XO_O`Dunn says:
#SELF: Figures.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::still  hugging himself tightly and trembling::

CMO_Shiar says:
#XO: if we were Romulans, I'd suggest destroying the planet as we leave sir.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Wormhole effect.  Attempting to compensate to get us out.  ::fingers flying across her console::

CNS_Luchena says:
#CMO:  Just that one.  If we could just destroy that one the rest of the children could be rehabilitated.

XO_O`Dunn says:
#CMO: Yes, you've been full of suggestions today. Inappropriate and potentially disastrous suggestions, doctor.

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION: Those on the shuttle feel 'stretched' out.

SO_Toms says:
#::feels stretched::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::experience a horrible sensation that makes him want to throw up even more than he did a moment ago::

XO_O`Dunn says:
#OPS: Is somebody going to shoot the nexus of this thing?

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::attempts to bring warp core offline::  ALL: Attempting to shut down the core....   Computer: Computer...  Access emergency core ejection system and stand by.

CMO_Shiar says:
#Self: this is weird

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::feels something strange:: ALL:  What is going on?

Host Gilthanas says:
<COMPUTER> FCO:  Acknowledged.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#XO:  I don't even know if that's possible, Sir.

XO_O`Dunn says:
#OPS: Let's try, shall we?

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO; Can you get a lock on the shuttle?

FCO_DeRidder says:
#::give up on powering down the core:: OPS: We have to eject the core Lt.

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: I can't shut it off....   Controls are jammed from the wormhole effect.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::wonders if this nightmare is ever going to end::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Can we detonate the core?  Blast us out of this wormhole?

SO_Toms says:
#::smiles peacefully, certainly an interesting way to die::

XO_O`Dunn says:
#::steps up to the console, estimates the nexus target, and fires the shuttle's phasers::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#OPS: Yes.  Once we clear 10,000 Km

Sdog says:
@::His little face appears in the shuttle viewscreen taking it all up, giggling.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Do it!

CMO_Shiar says:
#CNS: you don't look too good. do you need some counseling?

CNS_Luchena says:
#::starts to laugh at the CMO's comment::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Transporters are only good for 40,000 km

CNS_Luchena says:
#::rapidly degenerates into sobs so quickly shuts up::

FCO_DeRidder says:
#Computer: Computer.  Eject the core, authorization DeRidder Gamma Gamma 12

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The warp core is ejected...

Host CO_Zax says:
CSO: Understood, Lt. Just how far off course are they?

CMO_Shiar says:
#::sits down:: CNS: mind if I join ya?

FCO_DeRidder says:
#ALL: Countdown!  9000 km.....  8000.....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::waits to see if the XO's plan works::

CNS_Luchena says:
#CMO:  Actually doc... I think I need a tranquilizer...

FCO_DeRidder says:
#ALL: 6000...   5000...  4000....

FCO_DeRidder says:
#ALL: 3000.... 2000.....  1000...

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  For a moment, each of the shuttle team find themselves in their worse nightmare, just before it is detonated.

CMO_Shiar says:
#:: looks in med kit and takes out a tranquilizer:: CNS: I just so happen to have one

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#FCO:  Detonate the core.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::was already in his worst  nightmare when he realized he would kill children to survive::

XO_O`Dunn says:
#::finds herself in a shuttle with half of the senior staff, trying to get out of a wormhole::

FCO_DeRidder says:

SO_Toms says:
#::for an instant the world is absolutely black::

CNS_Luchena says:
#::smiles weakly at the CMO::

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the shuttle is 30 minutes away at Warp 5

CMO_Shiar says:
#:: finds self in room with XO... only joking, looks at mirror and sees a Ferengi face::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  The wormhole dissipates and the shuttle, worse for wear, comes to a halt.

CSO_Hull says:
CO:  course 145 mark 10

XO_O`Dunn says:
#::sits down, wondering what wonderful thing will happen to them next::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Set course. Warp 6.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
#::sees the wormhole dissipate:: FCO:  Find out where we are.

CMO_Shiar says:
