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

Host Coot says:
How deep does the madness of one mind delve? The tangled web of insanity drove one to seek out those once thought lost. The madness within controls him, influences others, and baits the trap that others wander into.

Host Coot says:
Another sought to end the suffering, end the future pain that will engulf them all. The madness however captured him as well and now beckons to the others like a beacon in the dark. The power to end it lies with one, one who seeks them, one who will destroy, one who has tread these grounds before.

::on the bridge at OPS::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon has arrived in orbit above Ravenscar.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::at her station ::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::In main Science lab, studying the chip::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: pacing ::   OPS: Scan for lifesigns.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::scans the planet for lifesigns::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::at his station on the bridge, trying to push the engines for even more::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley smiles at Julia as she hops off of the Biobed:: Julia: You're as good as new, Julia. ::She turns to her mother:: Vickie: She'll be fine in a few days. Just make sure she gets some rest.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: You want a standard orbit or a high orbit?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Standard orbit. If lifesigns are found, geosynchronous above them.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Vickie> CMO: Thank you, Doctor. ::She smiles, takes her daughter's hand, and leaves Sickbay::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  :: puts the Pen into a standard orbit::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'm picking up several lifesigns, Captain.  I'm picking up Lt Newind's signal plus several others.  The signals appear to be badly degraded.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::rocks as she is hit with a surge of hatred coming from the surface::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Degraded? Are they injured?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They all appear to be centered above the temple, Sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::moves to a different bank of screens, each showing disparately different information, and begins entering a series of different experiment parameters::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'd say more like dead, judging from the degradation, for some time, too.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  There's a consciousness down there, I can feel it.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Servek: Lieutenant, I want the entire staff ready for any emergency procedures from this point on. I don't know what we're going to experience in the next few minutes, so we need to be ready.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: It is pure hatred sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::pulse speeds up::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::still rocks as the hate begins to push into her mind::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stunned :: XO: Mikal, take Yates and Toms and a security detail down there, and find out what's happened.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'm picking up old DNA signatures ... the bodies themselves appear to have been worn away by the environment.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CMO: Understood, Commander. I will make the proper arrangements. ::She begins to get Sickbay ready::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Windfire: Strengthen mental walls.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves toward the medical storage unit and begins to rummage through it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Scan the system. I need to know if we have any company in orbit.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CMO/CSO*:  Meet me in transporter room 1 immediately for away team duty.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and scans the system for vessels::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::feels the strength from her companion and beats back the hate::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*XO*: I'll be there momentarily. ::She grabs a standard Medical Kit and leaves Sickbay, heading for the Turbo Lift::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*XO*: We will be there shortly.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Should I send the DNA signatures to sickbay for identification?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Have us beamed directly to the temple.  ::enters the turbolift::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::brings the Pen to a geosynchrinous orbit::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Absolutely.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::has a very bad feeling about this::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to the proper deck, wondering what exactly they were going to find on the planet's surface::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Sickbay*:  Bridge to Sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck ten.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *OPS*: Sickbay here.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wipes his sweaty palms on his pants::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  I'm sending some DNA readings from the surface down for examination.  See if you can identify what species they are from.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::watches the end of the most recent experiment, then files the information away in the computer banks, before securing the chip with a high level forcefield. Leaves to head for the Transporter Room::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::The Turbo Lift slows before it reaches the proper deck. She steps out of it and makes her way toward the Transporter Room::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *OPS*: Understood. I will have the results as soon as possible.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::exits the turbolift and heads to the transporter room::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sends the DNA readings down to sickbay::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Orbit over lifeform reading is established sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Ready to transport as soon as the AT is ready.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley enters the Transporter Room::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::acknowledges his fear::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO, OPS: Thank you. Maintain yellow alert.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders about the source::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::Enters the TR and moves straight to the transporter pad::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She steps over to the medical console and begins to look over the DNA transmitted by the Bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<SEC_Morris> ::arrives in the TR armed to the teeth and looking terrified::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the transporter room and notices the CSO::  CSO:  Be sure to bring a phaser.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Do we have any idea what is down there, Commander? ::She makes her way onto the pad::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She pauses after a moment:: *OPS*: Sickbay to Bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  No idea, no.  ::distracted::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans of the Pendragon are being initiated from the surface.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::arms himself and steps onto the transporter pad::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: We're being scanned

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  Sickbay, this is the bridge.  Go ahead.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
XO: We choose not to be armed. Things such as that disturb him.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Confirmed.  Scans seem to be coming from the surface.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Source?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  As you wish.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: The planet, in the vicinity of the beam down area

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *OPS*: It seems that the DNA sample you have transmitted contains Ullian, Terran, Cardassian, Romulan, and Sekloth Order genetic sequences.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Would you mind grabbing me one of those, please?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks incredulous:: *Servek*:  What?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Mikal, be aware: we've just been scanned from the planet surface. 

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Yes, of course.  ::grabs another phaser and passes it to the CMO::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *OPS*: Shall I repeat the genetic sequences again?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A pale green beam engulfs the Pendragon as the scans continue.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Are you certain you are up to this mission?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes the phaser and holsters it, noting something is not quite right::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Maintain a constant transporter lock on the away team once they have beamed down. I want them out of there at the first hint of trouble.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  No thanks.  I got the information.  Thanks Servek.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Make that heavily scanned. I'm locking the computer core out:: locks out the computer core::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  And you don't call that ::points to the viewscreen:: CO:  trouble?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *OPS*: Thanks are not required. Sickbay out.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
ALL: What in the name is that?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
XO: We did not make the order. We follow. Plus, the information we have on the chip suggests many things that this planet may hold the answers to. We will come.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, I have something on the DNA.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The computer responds accordingly to the CEO's request.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Modulate our shields to block the scans, Jose.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*OPS*:  We're good to go, Jordan.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye sir

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.  CO:  Away team is ready to beam down.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::sets up a rotating modular frequency for the shields::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the CMO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Power levels begin to fluctuate in the warp core.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Hold that thought.   CEO: Jose, is this beam part of the scans, or something else?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She allows a small smile to escape her lips:: ~~~XO: Everything will be fine.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CEO:  I'm reading power fluctuations in the warp core ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: As far as I can tell, it's another scan....hold on, we've got bigger problems.....the warp core is fluctuating

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Transporter Chief:  Energize

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Increase orbit radius. Take us to maximum transporter range.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Away Team is successfully beamed to the surface. Power in the warp core drops to 80%.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She pulls out her Tricorder and begins to search for any biosigns::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::attempts to master his fear::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::looks around him, pulls out a phaser::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: What was that about the DNA scans, Jordan?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain...this is disturbing, the scans are Borg in nature....but we're not reading any Borg on the surface

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@XO/CSO: I'm picking up a set of biosigns within the temple straight ahead. ::She begins to make her way toward it::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@::follows::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sickbay has identified the species .. and there is more than one.  Human, Cardassian, Ullian, Romulan and Sekleth Order patterns all show up.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::draws his phaser and charges it as he walks after the CMO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Well, let us hope that sending Commander Toms was the right decision, then.

Host Coot says:
@ SCENE: The Away Team has arrived outside the temple grounds, which has fallen into disrepair. The Order appears to have fled and something dark and sinister creeps from the shadows. The air is stale and the light is dim. Weeds and overgrowth are rampant throughout the area.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::feels like a lamb going to slaughter::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::follows the others cautiously watching out for anything around him::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Lets hope so. I need to get to main engineering to figure out this power fluctuation

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Initial readings indicated that these were corpses. Were any of the scans of living beings?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She continues to make her way toward the temple, weaving through the debris every so often::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::looks around at the decay::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  The only strong signal I picked up was the TO's ... he could be alive down there.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::shudders::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  As for the rest, I'd say they'd been dead for centuries.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::leaves for engineering::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The reflecting pool outside the temple is shallow and blood red.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@XO/CSO: Well, on a positive note, I can detect human lifesigns. On the downside, there seems to be some sort of shielding preventing my scans within the temple. I suppose whomever is there will know we're here.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::falters on seeing the pool::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::moves over to the pool and looks:: XO:  Sir, this wasn't like this before, was it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: musing aloud :: OPS:  How is that possible? The Order has maintained that temple for at least that long. They don't seem the type to leave bodies lying around.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CMO:  I....

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO grabs her head in pain.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I have no idea!  I'm not a mind reader, am I?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::struggles to get a grip on his emotions::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Out Loud: AAAyyyyyeeeiiiisssss

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She eyes the pool for a moment but continues on:: XO: A nice place, that's for sure.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Arrives in engineering::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: smiles :: OPS: Sorry. I was just thinking out loud.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over to the FCO:: FCO:  Maria?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::looks around in complete paranoia::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Lieutenant? Is there a problem?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Just beneath the surface of the pool, several mutilated bodies of the Order lie floating, lifeless, in various states of decay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::runs diagnostics to determine how the power fluctuations are occurring::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::tries to hide under her helm station::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CMO::  It was...  Oh my.  ::covers his mouth with his hand::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::sees the bodies ... runs to a spot away from the others to bring up his lunch::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ XO: This wasn't how the planet was left last. I assume that whatever is... ::she notices the bodies and pauses::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Sickbay... medical emergency on the bridge.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@::pulls out a tricorder and begins to fiddle with some scan readings, gathering information from the area::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CMO/CSO:  We have to get into the temple.  ::runs::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She takes a few steps over to the pool and allows her Tricorder to scan the bodies::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::keeps a lock on the AT::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: Emergency Medical Officers are on their way. What is the problem, Captain?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::looks very pale as he rejoins the team::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gently pulls Rochelle out from under the console :: FCO: Settle down, Lieutenant. Take a couple of deep breaths. talk to me... what's happening?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: they are coming.......They are coming...........

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Servek*: Lt. Rochelle is having an attack of some sort.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ XO: Mikal... ::She shakes her head and follows him toward the temple::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Who are coming?  ::tries to sense what is in her mind::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Are you picking something up telepathically?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Fear and paranoia

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: I shall be there momentarily. ::She heads for the Bridge with two medics::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: All right. Can you block it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: I've determines that the greenish appearing scan is a Borg energy drain of sorts. I'm working to find a solution before it does anymore damage

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Trying to but need bird here to help.  ::still feeling it::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to tremble in fear::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::reaches the temple::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She reaches the temple and places a hand on Mikal's shoulder:: XO: Calm down, Mikal. We'll figure this out,.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Strange ... I'm not sensing anything ...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::moves over to the doors::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: glances at Jordan :: OPS: Can you help her block this out?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Keep me posted, Jose.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: NO I am seeing it in my head, the order, the Sekloth Order being executed NOOOOooo.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CMO:  Keep Edward safe.  

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@All: We suggest not entering the Temple. There are similarities to the Chip we have been studying that need analyzing

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She steps onto the Bridge and makes her way toward the FCO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Maybe .... ~~~ FCO:  Maria ... concentrate on me ... show me what you are seeing. ~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Servek: Do what you can for her, Doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@CSO: Like what?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::pulls what is known of Borg technology to counteract the effect of the drain::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She kneels down next to the FCO, takes out her Tricorder, and looks over the readings::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As the Away Team approaches the Temple, one door is slightly ajar. Bloodstains can be seen on the other.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: NO you won't be able to handle it.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> XO:  Sir, look at this ... ::indicates the blood on the door::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CSO:  How long?  ::looks frantically towards the open temple door::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ FCO:  I think I can ... show me ~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The warp core bounces back to 82% and is increasing.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CO: I can inject Lieutenant Rochelle with a neural inhibitor, causing her brain to go numb for several hours, Captain. It is your decision as to if I should do this.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Has her full concentration on the FCO::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@All: The Chip comes with much technology, but Romulan is the most common. The shielding here is of Romulan styling, and there are energy traces of a Romulan vessel known to us. We suggest a further investigation before proceeding.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Servek: Is there anything less severe you can use?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CO: I can issue a mild sedative, but it will not have a rather long lasting effect.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: TO Redshirt begins walking very slowly towards the Temple doors and enters, disappearing into the shadows.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: You sure?  I will allow you to see a little. ::opens a tiny door way into her mind::~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CSO/CMO:  You two stay here and run scans.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::turns toward the temple door::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ XO: If you seriously think I'll let you go in there yourself you are 100% dreaming, Mikal.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@XO: We make the recommendation to you as well. Your safety will be in jeopardy.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Servek: Try the sedative. We may need to bug out fast, and I need a good helmsman on the bridge.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::enters the temple ... pulls out a tricorder and begins scanning::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@CMO:  Those are my orders Doctor.  ::proceeds towards the temple::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CO: As you wish, Captain. ::She takes out the hypospray and injects the FCO with a mild sedative::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  No! Not yet .... ::is focused on what the FCO can see::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A scream echoes out from within the temple, but it is not SEC Morris' voice.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ XO: Then you'll be forced to issue me a formal reprimand, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::hears the scream and slips through the door::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to feel the effects of the sedative but continues to broadcast to Jordan::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ CSO: We can't allow Luchena to go inside himself. Would you accompany me?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm managing to counteract the Borg field, but it's taking some time.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: It's all right, Jordan. I'd rather not have one of my bridge crew under telepathic attack at a time like this.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@CMO: No. We will not put Toms in the way of unnecessary harm.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She continues to monitor the readings:: CO: The medication is working, Captain.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: glances at the Engineering console ::  *CEO*: Looks like you're winning, Jose. Keep at it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Lieutenant... do you feel capable of resuming your duties?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::coughs and covers his nose with his arm.  Proceeds deeper into the temple::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The green energy beam intensifies and begins sapping energy back from the Pendragon. Warp core drops to 78%.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Aye

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::startled:: CO: Yes sir. But I will need WindFire here to help me.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: It is of course "adapting"

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: slight scowl ::  Servek: Have someone bring Rochelle's bird to her.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::sees the XO enter and follows him deeper into the temple::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: If it bothers you I will do with out him.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::winces::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@ CSO: I can't leave you here alone. ::She taps her Combadge:: *OPS*: Yates to Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~::searches::~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CMO*:  Go ahead, Ashley.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CO: As you wish, Captain. ::She motions for one of her staff to go and get the bird::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Just this once, Lieutenant.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*OPS*: Jordan, I need you to transport Commander Toms back to the Pendragon.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@CMO: Yours are the choices. We have our work to do here

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::withdraws from the FCO's mind ... still unclear on what was happening::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks up :: *CMO*: What's going on, Doctor?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: You don't need to get him I can call him from here telepathically and he will come.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*CO*: Captain, at the moment Commander Luchena has entered the temple on his own. I don't wish to leave Commander Toms outside of the temple by himself at this point in time.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~CMO:  I sense Jordan here.  How can that be?~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@~~~XO: I'm going in there, Mikal. How can you.. sense her there?~~~

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@::begins to set up a rudimentary contraption outside the temple, near the pool. On top goes a tricorder. He moves off to do the same in a different place::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~Rofax:  Are you here?~~~

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: From the dark, a cold voice speaks out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CSO*: Commander Toms, are you armed?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::stops::

Host Coot says:
<Unknown> XO: You should not have come.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@*CO: Unless you wish to send more security officers down here, Captain, it is not safe for one man. ::She looks around. This really was not a good situation to be in::

Host Coot says:
@ <Rofax> ::weakly:: ~~~  XO: I do not know. ~~~

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CO*: We are not sir. We do not wish to be. ::finishes setting up a second station, then proceeds to a third::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::stops dead in his tracks:: XO:  Who or what was that?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Beam a two-man security detail to the surface.  *CMO*: More security on the way, Doctor.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Unknown:  Why not?  I thought you were looking for me.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@CSO: Please allow the Security Officers to assist you in any way. ::With this, she makes her way into the temple::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and calls security ordering the two-man team to report to the Transporter Room::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: From the dark, a Cardassian disrupter tears into SEC Morris, dropping him to the floor of the Temple.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::senses WindFire coming to her:: CO: Sir please allow him access to the turbolift from quarters to bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::sees the disrupter fire::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@CMO: To each their own, Dr. We wish you luck.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris>  ::cries out as he is hit and drops like a stone::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> FCO: Lieutenant, we have your bird. ::She motions to her medic whom has just entered the Bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Activate the turbolifts for the bird, please.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~CMO:  Security officer down.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Does as she is requested::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Done, Sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@~~~XO: Where are you two?~~~ ::She begins to move much quicker through the temple, her phaser now in her hand::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::stands unmoving::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As the XO's eyes adjust to the dark, a large hulking figure emerges from a shadow.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::swallows hard but holds his ground::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::waits for him to land on her shoulder and connect to her::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She reaches Mikal and pauses a few feet away from him::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Thank you sir. I owe you one.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~Rofax:  The time is now Captain.~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CO: Is my assistance still required, Captain?

Host Coot says:
@ <Marat> XO: You have no business here. He is mine. He will die. You do not have to.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at the bird :: FCO: Yes you do...

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@::finishes the third station, and then moves away to start monitoring the feedback that he is getting::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Servek: No, Doctor. Thank you.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She nods and exits the Bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::goes ghostly white::  Marat: Let him go.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire immediately lands on her shoulder and nestles down and puts his head next to hers and they connect quickly::

Host Marat says:
@ <Rofax> ~~~ XO: Where are you? I do not see. ~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Orders sir?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She moves closer to Mikal, watching the rather ghastly man::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Maintain orbit. 

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::settles down into her seat again in full control::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~Rofax:  I stand before Marat, slayer of your family.~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir.  Maintaining  orbit.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::groans weakly ... barely alive::

Host Marat says:
@ XO: Your Captain has met the end. Fate has found it fit to end this way.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She notices the Security Officer out of the corner of her eye and makes her way toward him::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
@::each of the tricorders starts to send back its different information, probing the energy reading for fault or flaw, and the surrounding area for subtle differences in composition, fluctuations in anything from heat to UV light levels::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Marat:  How dare you presume to act on behalf of fate.

Host Marat says:
@ <Rofax> ~~~ XO: And I his.... is he here? ~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She kneels down next to him, pulls out a sedative, and injects Morris:: Morris: You'll be fine. Just remain still.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~Rofax:  I stand before him.  See through my eyes.~~~

Host Marat says:
@ ::spitting with hatred:: XO: He stole my life from me. Destroyed the fabric of the New Cardassia. He is guilty of sabotage and war crimes! ::pauses:: Raise your weapons, stop me if you can. ::raises his disruptor and levels it off at the CMO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::drops his phaser to the floor::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She takes off her uniform jacket and wraps it around the Security Officer, not paying attention to what is going on with Mikal and the man::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Marat:  Murderer!  Coward!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<SEC_Morris> ::using the last little bit of strength he has left raises the phaser and shakily aims at Marat::

Host Marat says:
@ ACTION: Marat begins shaking his head from side to side.

Host Marat says:
@ ALL: Nooo! ::drops to his knees::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::gathering all his will, takes a step forward::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She turns toward the direction of Morris' phaser and raises an eyebrow as her heart sinks within her chest::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: We have information of importance. There is a Romulan Vessel buried beneath the temple. It is supplying the energy for whatever is going on in there. Relaying coordinates now. ::sends off coordinates to the Pendragon::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She immediately grabs her phaser, points it at Marat, and fires it::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::receives the co-ordinates:: CSO:  Got it!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain!

Host Marat says:
@ ACTION: The CMO's phaser rips into Marat. He falls to the ground.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I heard. Relay the coordinates to the Away Team. 

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::nearly jumps::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::kneels beside Marat and puts his hands around his throat::

Host Marat says:
ACTION: Shielding around the Temple drops, and the energy beam fades away.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::squeezes hard::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@::She stands up and keeps the phaser pointed at Marat:: XO: Mikal, move away from him! ::She moves toward Mikal and tries to pull him back::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::growling like an animal allows himself to be pulled back::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Pendragon to Away Team.

Host Marat says:
@ ACTION: Marat coughs violently, spitting up blood.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Commander, there is a Romulan vessel buried beneath the temple.  Transmitting coordinates.  ::sends the coordinates::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::gasping::  *OPS*:  Understood.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
SEC Team: We suggest you move away from the temple, ladies. Something bad may be about to happen.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
@XO: It's over, Mikal. It's over for now. ::She keeps a hand on his shoulder::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  It's what is powering the shielding around the temple.

Host Marat says:
@ ACTION: Marat curses the XO rather colorfully in Cardassian before dropping unconscious.
