Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The crew returned to their proper time after encountering a horrible vision of their former CO in a future time. The actions of the crew saved the Pendragon, but at the cost of destroying their former captain and a vessel that some had become very attached to.

Host Coot says:
Now, Cmdr Luchena has been charged with some very serious allegations that may spell the end of his career as well as those involved. A military tribunal has been called to sort matters out once and for all.

Host Coot says:

:: in full dress uniform, sitting at the defendant's table with Luchena ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The XO and CO are seated in the conference room, awaiting the judge’s arrival.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::tries to subdue his tension::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::in the Rusty Nail wondering what will happen to her now::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The scene at the Rusty Nail is quiet and somewhat disconnected from the rest of the station.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Walking along the Promenade of the station, in full uniform, just in case the crew would be called for any reason::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:: wanders the promenade, looking for that bar...::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A rigid looking judge enters the conference room and calls the matter to order.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She closes her eyes for a moment, taking in all of the emotions throughout the station. On one hand there was joy, excitement, and energy... but on the other there was tension, pain, and sorrow::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::stands::

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::reads off the list of allegations against the XO:: XO: Cmdr Luchena, do you understand the charges against you?

Mikal_Luchena says:
::remains standing::  Judge:  No I do not.  Could you read them again please?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:: finds the Rusty Nail and heads inside ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters one of the antique shops and begins to look around silently::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::sees the CEO enter but doesn't react ... takes a sip of her drink::

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::grunts:: XO: Violation of the Temporal Prime Directive. Destruction of an unarmed vessel. Causing the death of a Starfleet Officer. ::pauses::  Shall I go on?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::Standing in the promenade, watching all the hustle and bustle::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::feels his temper rising.  Looks to Thraxis::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Judge: We respectfully request a complete reading of the charges, Your Honor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:: Orders a drink ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She picks up a crimson colored teakettle and looks it over::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: places a calming hand on Luchena's shoulder ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::faces forward::

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::refuses to wait:: XO: Disobeying direct orders from ::glances to Thraxis:: your Commanding Officer. Aiding and abetting the escape of a known fugitive, who committed terrorist acts on the Pendragon. Cooperating in the kidnapping of a fellow officer.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::watches idly as he wonders what it is he should be doing now::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She places the kettle back on the shelf and makes her way out of the antique shop. Ashley moves her way toward the exit of the Promenade toward one of the Starfleet sections::

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::looks to Mikal:: XO: How do you plead?

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks to Thraxis, confused::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Judge: Commander Luchena pleads Not Guilty, Your Honor.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks back forward and nods::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters one of the Starfleet sections and makes her way to a Starfleet computer. She begins to look over the charges against Mikal::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::raises his hand to his head::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She reads the charges rather carefully, wondering how exactly the Captain would handle them:: *CEO*: Yates to Damien.

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::looks to Thraxis:: CO: And I expect you can explain this? Given you have had seven months to rehearse the defense of your First Officer... ::frowns::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::thinks to herself "this is not what I had in mind when I joined Starfleet" as she orders another drink::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO*: Damien here. What’s up Ashley?

Mikal_Luchena says:
Judge:  May I be seated your honour?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CEO*: Jose, have you had a chance to look over the charges against Mikal?

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::motions to Mikal approvingly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO: I'm familiar with them, yes.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::sits::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: surprised :: Judge: Excuse me, Your Honor? These charges were brought just three days ago. Please explain how I could have had seven months to rehearse a defense of an officer whom I was not even sure would return.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CEO*: Good... and would you be against meeting me near the Conference Hall? I want to see what's going on...

Mikal_Luchena says:
::turns his attention inward::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO*: I'll meet you there

Host Coot says:
<Judge> ::scoffs:: CO: I do not presume to understand how you and your crew so blatantly flaunt the Temporal Prime Directive as a mere guideline. Surely you understood this was coming?  ::grasps his forehead in disbelief::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She exits the Starfleet section and heads toward the conference room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:: exits the bar and heads for the conference room ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::frowns::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She makes her way along the Promenade until she is several feet from the main entrance. She closes her eyes and attempts to get some sort of reading from the inside::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::raises his hand to the side of his head again::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Judge: With respect, Your Honor, the first I knew of the charges was when Admiral Handy informed me of them three days ago, and ordered me to relieve Commander Luchena of duty. That was the earliest that I could possibly have known that this hearing was coming. I can refer you to the Admirals' dated orders, if you wish.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head at the feeling she receives from Mikal, knowing that whatever is going on within was not going to be easy on him in the slightest::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The judge begins shaking in his chair. Blood begins to flow from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks up at the judge in horror::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Several security guards rush to the judge's aid.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:;arrives outside the conference room::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stares :: Self: Ye gods...   :: taps commbadge :: COM: Medical emergency, Conference Room 7A!

Host Coot says:
<Guard> ::shouting::  XO: Stop it! You're killing him!

Mikal_Luchena says:
Guard:  Me?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Something's wrong... ::She makes her way into the Conference Room::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::follows::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns :: XO: Mikal? Are you doing this?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A sickening noise erupts from the judge as his head splits in two down the center of his face.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::backs away eyes wide::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::looks on in horror::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: ducks the arterial spray, unsuccessfully ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  No!  ::looks around frantically::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She pushes her way into the Conference Room and rushes in, noticing all of the guards surrounding someone... and pauses for a second before rushing toward the judge:: All: What is going on here!?!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Can you sense who or what is doing it?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A form is seen moving in the shadows of the room.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::points::  CO:  There!  Did you see it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: swallows hard :: CMO: The judge was under some form of... attack. Possibly telekinetic.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Security: Close off the Conference Room immediately!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: See what?

Mikal_Luchena says:
::turns and steps backwards knocking a chair over::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
COM: Thraxis to Station Ops. Emergency!

Mikal_Luchena says:
::points to the shadows::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The guards begin running about, attempting to seal the room and secure Mikal.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A second shadow is seen moving along the opposite wall.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::eyes rest on the CEO::  CEO:  Can't you see them?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: I can, I'm hoping security seals the room before they escape

Mikal_Luchena says:
::is so grateful he almost weeps::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Two of the Security Guards collapse to the floor, suffering similar fates as the judge.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves toward the judge and places two fingers along his neck, knowing that there was no hope for him at the moment:: CO: He's gone... ::She turns toward the two guards::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::screams::   Nooo!

Mikal_Luchena says:
::eyes wild::  CO:  Am I doing this?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::hears the commotion ... runs towards the conference room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Investigates the shadows::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She kneels down next to one of the officers, checking his pulse and taking his phaser at the same time::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: You'll have to tell me that, Mikal. Get a grip on yourself. I need your talents. now!

Host Coot says:
<Menacing voice> ALL: Hello old friends.....

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::feels the sudden burst of fear and anxiety from the conference room - it was no longer a tribunal it seemed; Newind starts to rush towards the conference room::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::blood runs cold::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: Mikal, take a deep breath and focus on the presence within this room. You can do this, I have faith in you.~~~ ::She remains near the guard, gripping the phaser tightly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: faces the voice, or where the voice seems to come from :: Voice: Identify yourself.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks over at the CMO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Throughout the station, multiple station personnel are seen grabbing their heads, shrieking in pain before collapsing onto the deck.

Mikal_Luchena says:
Voice:  It's you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Mikal: Who?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::steps from the shadows and removes the hood of her cloak.  The familiar face of Jordan Thraxis looks back at them:: CO:  Mikal didn't do this, I did ... ::smiles evilly::

Host Coot says:
<Menacing voice> XO: Not entirely. ::laughs::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::avoids stepping on the personnel, as he stops in front of the conference room; tries to open it::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns her gaze toward Jordan. From what she was told, she was dead...::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CEO:  Jr'dan.  She's not real.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The conference doors begin bleeding from the edges.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: takes a step forward ::  Jr'dan: Jordan?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps back in shock, and looks at the door:: Self: What the hell? ::tries opening the door again::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CEO:  None of this is real.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> XO:  Oh I'm real enough ... let me prove it ... ::moves over to Lt Pol::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks back at Mikal, then to Jordan ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::frowns::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::tries to override the security seal::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::pulls a disruptor and shoots the unfortunate OPS Officer::

Mikal_Luchena says:
Jr'dan:  Oh yeah?  ::takes a flying run and attempts to tackle her::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She immediately turns the phaser in her hand toward Jordan and fires::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: moves to stop Jordan, a moment too late :: Jr'dan: No!

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan>  ::swats him away as if he was a fly::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::crashes into a desk::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The second shadow emerges into the light revealing a tattered version of Pindari Rofax. His body has been mutilated and multiple tubes and wires are sticking out from various places.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Pol falls to the floor, unconscious.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks up at the sight of Rofax::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns to see Rofax :: Rofax: Rofax... What do you want?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> CO:  Now, now, Captain ... is that any way to treat me ... ::swats him away as well::

Mikal_Luchena says:
Rofax:  This is it?

Host Rofax says:
<Disembodied voice> CO: Your crew, your ship, your life.  <As Rofax> XO: Mikal, free me.....

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: lands hard... takes a phaser from the dead hand of a security guard, gets up ::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::moves to Rofax's side::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CEO:  She's a computer program Jose.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: I don't have a weapon or a way to deactivate it

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::pulls off a panel next to the door, and starts fiddling with the wires::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::looks over towards Mikal:: XO:  Not quite.  I suggest you check the body you have in your sickbay.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stands and moves toward the Operations Officer::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Rofax: If you want my life, Rofax, you can have it. As for the rest... no. This ends here.

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: The conference door sparks and bursts open. Those outside the room are covered in an avalanche of blood.

Mikal_Luchena says:
CEO:  Hack her.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> XO:  Attempt to remove me from my host and she will die.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Mikal: I'll do my best :: Looks for a control mechanism::

Mikal_Luchena says:
Rofax:  This ends here.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::tries to wipe off the blood, and move into the room:: All: WHAT... is going on in here? ::stops as he sees both Jordan and... Rofax?::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She sighs, looking down and Lieutenant Pol:: *SB OPS*: I need an emergency medical team down here. Now. ::She stands up, not able to do anything for Pol here::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: raises his voice :: All: Everyone out, now! That's an order! Mikal, get them all out, and seal the conference room doors behind you!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves toward Jose's side:: CEO: Is there a way to send an electrical feedback surge into her? ::She asks in a whisper::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::pleads:: ~~~CMO:  We have to get Rofax out.~~~

Mikal_Luchena says:
CO:  No.  This is ending right here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: maybe, give me that phaser.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::watches as no one reacts to him... odd.. He moves around surveying.. maybe he could figure this out..::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr’dan> ::Smiles at Mikal::

Host Rofax says:
<Disembodied voice> XO: Endings, beginnings. None of it matters.  <As Rofax> XO: Mikal..... run.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Mikal, I gave you an order. I am counting on you to see to the safety of the crew. Do as I say.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She hands him her phaser:: ~~~Mikal: Bringing him onto the Promenade would be too risky... I could have you both transported...~~~ ::She looks toward the CO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: never takes his eyes off Rofax and Jr'dan ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::yells::  CO/Jr'dan:  No!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: also shouting ::  XO: GO, Mikal!

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::circled around to Jr'dan.. sneaks up behind her and tries to pull her into a lock::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::rigs the phaser to emanate a strong EM pulse::

Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:   Him, his spirit, his essence.  We have to find Him.~~~

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Pol coughs up a considerable amount of blood.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::senses the TO's movement ... swings around with a very real hand and hits him hard::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:: activates the phaser ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Mikal: He is buried deep within, Mikal. It would take a... considerable amount of power... perhaps if we worked together.~~~ ::She looks toward him for a split second as she hears Lt. Pol cough::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::brings up a hand to block it, and is only partially successful; slides back and to a stop, standing steady again::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Those in the room now see all who have entered. The "avalanche" of blood vanishes as it was merely an illusion.

Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Rofax:  Let me in~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::watches as the blood disappears from him in slight shock - what was going on here?::

Host Rofax says:
<Disembodied voice> ~~~ XO: There is nothing left. He is mine.~~~  <As Rofax> ~~~ XO: I no longer resist. ~~~.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She walks over to Mikal's side:: ~~~Mikal: I offer you whatever strength and reinforcement you need.~~~ ::She takes his hand::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gives up on Mikal :: CMO: Doctor Yates, evacuate all personnel from this room save myself, and seal the doors when you leave. Now.

Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Rofax:  Resist!~~~

Mikal_Luchena says:
::squeezes the CMO's  hand::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> CO:  No!

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: The phaser glows brightly and radiates outward from its source. Everyone in the room is knocked over from the shockwave.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::falls::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::makes another run at Jr'dan, this time, ready to block and take her down - before being knocked down::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::falls::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<MO Patterson> ::Runs into the Conference Room after the shockwave with a medical team, running toward those who are wounded::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Jr'dan and Rofax are still for the moment. Neither is moving or ~~~heard~~~ telepathically.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::feels disconnected::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::falls and gets up:: All: That should not have happened

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: hits the floor and skids a couple meters... gets up with a nasty rug burn down the left side of his face ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley feels her feet leave the deck, but she quickly pulls herself up, ignoring the pain:: CO: Captain, as your Acting Executive Officer, I cannot leave you here alone in harms way.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::gets up, and moves toward Jr'dan, a phaser ready::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan> ::laying still::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: mutters ::  Self: Just *once*, I'd like an order followed the first time I give it...

Mikal_Luchena says:
::curls up in a fetal position::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::and rolls under a table::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
TO: Lieutenant, have security quickly secure those two. ::She turns toward Jose:: CEO: Jose... can we place a containment field around them or something?

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Jr'dan snaps to and looks severely angry. Rofax remains unmoving.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::motions to security, a phaser aimed at Jr'dan::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at Jr'dan and Rofax :: CMO: More to the point, Doctor... if we get them to the station infirmary, can you place them in stasis?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Jr'dan: Don't move.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: After the last reaction to energy being released in this room, I cannot guarantee what kind of result we'll have. It could kill us

Mikal_Luchena says:
::tries against all hope::  ~~~Rofax:  Resist~~~

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan>  ::her eyes snap open ... looks like she could kill the nearly to her::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
:: a brief sigh emits as he thinks about all the weird things he's seen ::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Rofax remains violently motionless on the ground.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods quickly:: CO: Of course, Captain. Consider it done. ::She nods toward Jose:: CEO: I take it transporting them is out of the option?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns when Newind speaks... levels his own phaser at her, speaks in an icy voice :: Jr'dan: Jordan... or whatever you are now... stay very still. I will not hesitate to fire.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan>  ::Screams and holds her hands to her head:: All:  Nooooo!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: I'm not going to be responsible for lumps of flesh appearing upon rematerialzation, so no.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: blinks when Jordan screams ::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Blood begins oozing from Rofax's mouth and ears.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::hears screaming::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::opens his eyes::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: then sees Rofax's condition :: CMO: Doctor...

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jr'dan>  ::tries to maintain control but cannot ... she is weakening::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::sees Rofax.  Begins crawling towards him::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Her attention darts toward Rofax and Jordan, she runs toward them rather quickly, grabbing one of the tricorders and opening it up:: CO: I need them to be taken out of this room for safe transport.

Host Rofax says:
::eyes open, staring blankly at Mikal::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::one hand moves up to his ear, as the other still points a phaser at Jr'dan; sets the phaser to heavy stun, and prepares to fire::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::stops:: Rofax:  Captain.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jordan> ::blinks and looks at the CO:: CO:  Albaron?

Host Rofax says:
::blinks, once::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose! Help me move Jordan!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: Jordan? Is it you this time?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'm right on it ::Helps the CO move Jordan::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::softly::  Rofax: Pindari.  I promised her.  Please...

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Mikal: What... is happening to him?~~~ ::She looks over the readings::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::moves himself around, now behind the woman, ready to take her out, in more than one way::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
<Jordan>  ::nods weakly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: moves Jordan out of the conference room with Damien's help ::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: Pol slips into unconsciousness. She is dead.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*Servek*: Lieutenant, prepare to receive incoming for transport immediately.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Is she...Jordan?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> *CMO*: We are ready on our end, Doctor.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::motions three guards to keep an eye on her, and turns to look at his former Captain... walks toward him, sorrow invading his thoughts::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks up as Newind approaches::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: I have no idea.  :: taps :: COM: Pendragon! Three to beam directly to Sickbay!

Host Rofax says:
~~~ TO: Kill me. I cannot live like this. ~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks to Mikal; crouches down to look::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I remember everything ....

TO_Lt_Newind says:
~~~ Rofax: You know... how hard this is? ~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> ::She motions for her team to get ready to receive several casualties, not fully sure what to expect::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: I know, sweetheart. We'll talk about it soon.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::thumb flips settings on the phaser::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Rofax: We can help you... ::Turns toward Newind:: TO: Lieutenant.. don't you dare.

Mikal_Luchena says:
Rofax:  You must keep fighting.  ::sees a movement in his peripheral vision::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks to the CMO, before returning his attention to Rofax::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: waits for transport to begin ::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: A very bright flash emits from the room, centered on Rofax.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::shields his eyes::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
TO: Lieutenant that is an order. ::She shields her eyes at the bright flash::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::closes his eyes at the light - still ignoring the CMO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::impatient:: CO: What a time to be slow in transport

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: instinctively puts himself between Jordan and the energy pulse from the conference room ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::squints and tries to see what is happening::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::senses something is wrong:: CO:  Stop.  ::moves to go back to Rofax::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::as soon as the flash wears out, he looks down to Rofax again... sorrow quickly wearing him down::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: A second flash emits from Rofax.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::crawls toward Rofax and reaches his hand out::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::closes his eyes.. one more.. and it would be over::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: holds Jordan :: Jordan: NO. Stay here, sweetheart. Let Mikal and the doctor handle Rofax.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She attempts to move closer to the light, but steps back, feeling a bit blinded::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: As Mikal reaches out, there is no one there. The light fades and Rofax is gone.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::screams::  No!  ::pounds his fist on the floor::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sighs, almost sobbing, as he opens his eyes to a sudden lack of a Rofax::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
ACTION: Jordan, Damien, and Thraxis vanish in blue-white columns of transporter energy.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head as the light fades and Rofax is now gone...:: Self: Just another day in the life of the Pendragon...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::feels pain in her head ... grasps her head as Jr'dan is removed permanently from her mind::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> ::Moves toward Jordan quickly with the rest of her medical staff::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::swears loudly and scrambles to his feet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::stands back and lets medical go to work::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::stands and points:: CMO: You! I had my chance to help him, and you stopped me! ::stalks out of the room, almost blind, seething in rage::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: helps the medics get Jordan onto a biobed ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::grabs a chair and smashes it against a table::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: A new glow centers itself on Mikal, he is barely visible to those around him.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::shrugs them off:: CO:  I'm fine.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns toward the sound of the crash... noting Mikal now beginning to become transparent::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: I sincerely doubt that, my love. Lay back and let the doctors do their jobs.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::enraged::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> OPS: According to our records, Commander, you are deceased. ::She looks over her curiously::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::looks over at Servek, a cheeky look in her eye:: Servek:  Really?  Then I think you need to check your records, Lt.  I'm very much alive and well.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves toward Mikal, but does get to close, opening her senses::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::people move quickly out of the way.. wouldn't you if you saw a raging man carrying a phaser?::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks around and calms::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: gently pushes on Jordan's shoulder, encouraging her to lie down ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> CO: Captain, this is a highly illogical situation. ::She activates a full bioscan, to make perfectly sure this woman is Commander Thraxis::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::locks his attention on the memory of the shuttlebay::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: The glow around the XO brightens, those in the room no longer see him and the carnage of the room melts away as if a bad dream.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::quietly::  Self:  Yes.... that's how it was.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::especially with it set to kill;  Newind walks quickly to his quarters.. he almost punches out a part of the wall::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Servek: Illogical is the bread and butter of the Pendragon, Doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but feel a sense of serenity as all of the negative aspects of the room disappear. Something has happened in that very room... something that has changed history::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Servek:  Let me explain ... I think you'll find the me you have in Stasis is a clone.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks around in wonder::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> OPS: I will make that determination once a full medical examination has been conducted, Commander. This should only take several hours.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::more firmly::  Self:  That's how it is.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@Servek:  I'm not staying here for several hours, Lt.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Sweetheart, please cooperate fully with the doctors. For your own sake, as well as mine. Please?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@CO:  Albaron, you know how much I love Sickbay .... several hours?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::Can't believe what he's seeing::

Mikal_Luchena says:
Self:  And that is still to be done.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> OPS: Those are the protocols, Commander.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Please.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She does not say a word but remains standing in the Conference Room, watching Mikal::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@CO:  How is Edward?

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: The glow surrounding Mikal fades.

Mikal_Luchena says:
::nods::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::sees Ashley::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: He's... changed.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@CO:  I know ... and it's all my fault.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles ever-so-slightly:: XO: I take it... mysteries have been unveiled?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Time enough for that later.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sits down, head in hands; he had a good chance to stop it all... and it slipped by..::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@<Lt. Servek> OPS: Commander, would you please lie down on the Biobed for a few moments?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: kisses her gently, on the forehead :: Jordan: I have to go back to the station... make sure everyone is all right. I'll be back very soon.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::complies, albeit reluctantly::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CMO:  You were there?  You felt all that too?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: I love you. 

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: I couldn't make sense of what was going on, Mikal. Whatever you experienced - it was meant for you.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::stands and exits... he needed to go.. now.. maybe he could still end it now::

Mikal_Luchena says:
::nods::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::enters TL:: TL: Shuttlebay..

Mikal_Luchena says:
CMO:  Newind.  We have to find him.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@::turns away from the CO, unable to say those words to him after all she has done::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Perhaps you can calm him down... and explain what happened.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: rests a hand on her cheek for a moment... then turns and leaves Sickbay ::

Mikal_Luchena says:
CMO:  Yes.  I have to tell him the truth.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::exits quickly... finds himself a shuttle, and easily gets his clearance to go.. begins take-off procedures, and steels himself into this.. it would help Rofax.. and everyone else::

Host Rofax says:
ACTION: A lone shuttle, transponder disabled, whisks off into warp.
