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

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon continued to wrestle with the mystery of the Tweezles. Questions were breeding as fast as the Tweezle population and answers were difficult to come by. In an attempt to lure the being into a less-dense area of space, the Pendragon made for the Gamma Quadrant and the Bajoran wormhole.

Host Coot says:
However, maintaining her position outside of Bajoran space, the Tweezles past them by and entered the wormhole. The Tweezles effectively collapsed the wormhole and only after releasing the last few contained in the cargo bay was the Pendragon granted passage.

Host Coot says:
< < < < Resume Mission: Something Old, Something New . . . > > > >

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon has entered the wormhole. A flash of blinding light has disoriented the crew and images of Pendragon's interior hovered in front of them. Each of the Pendragon's crew finds themselves surrounded by a vast whiteness with no sense of direction of bearing.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
:: closes her eyes in defense of the light::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather blinks several times as she tries to make sense of what is happening around her:: All: Anyone? Is anyone here? Please... someone!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: taps commbadge ::  *COM*: This is Captain Thraxis. Anyone who can hear my transmission, report.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir what is going on?

Jr`dan says:
::roughly releases the CMO and shoves him across the room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::groans:: Where the hell are we? ::dizzy::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Rochelle: Rochelle? I can't see you. Where are you?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Grant closes her eyes for a moment, attempting to regain her composure. She decides that she should try and swim through the light. Because of that thought, Heather begins to kick her feet and move her arms in a circular motion::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::grabs her head::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Here sir follow my voice.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: There are no familiar beeps to the Comm system.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::makes a loud thump as he hits a console::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Brian where are you?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: I can't tell where it's coming from.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the CMO thumps into a console, he tumbles over it and finds himself alone and separated from the others.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
~~~Anyone: Please... please. Can someone hear me this way?~~~ ::Heather hates her telepathic abilities, but decides that now would be the time to use them::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::Groans aloud:: ALL: 'lo?

Jr`dan says:
<in her best Jordan voice> All:  What is going on?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: I am here.  ::reaches out with her mind::

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> All: What is this? Why have you come?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants very softly::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: This is Captain Albaron Thraxis of the Federation starship Pendragon. Am I addressing the Prophets of Bajor?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She feels her body jerk at the sound of a voice:: Prophet: Umm... well... I didn't think it was such a good idea, Mister Whomever-You-Are, sir.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::grabs her head again:: Prophet: What are you and who are you?

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: You are addressing those who acknowledge your trespass.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
Prophet: ::in a moment of hazy thinking:: We were looking for the local donut shop?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Everyone... quiet. Let me speak for the ship.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Brian please.  These are non-corporeal beings.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants more loudly::  Please help us. Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She begins to look around and around, not seeing anyone, but now being able to hear the others. Heather raises an eyebrow as she hears Commander Luchena's words. There was really something weird about that man::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: We are threatened by a life form that paralyzes our will with pure contentment. We seek only to remove them from our space, so that they and we can live in peace, far apart.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::mutters:: Bloody spirits.. I've gone and lost my sense of normality again.

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: Then leave this place. We are in peace and yet you chose to disturb us.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: These beings would destroy all who hear them, even those who live on Bajor. Will you help us take them where they can do no harm?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She listens to the conversation between the Captain and the Prophets, agreeing with the Prophets thus far::

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: Harm? In this place? Are you a man of faith or science, Captain?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: In the blindness of this place, the FCO and CMO manage to find each other.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Brian are you alright?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: I have lived long. In my many lives, I have been both. I have seen many things that science could not explain. But the Tweezle  --  the beings of which I spoke  --  come from the world outside your Temple. In that place, they are a danger.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
FCO: ::whisper:: Who is that? Maria? Yeah.. Fine as can be I suppose.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::feels his way around his console, blindly::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Grant and Damien manage to locate each other as well.  Jr'dan stumbles upon the chanting Mikal.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::startled:: OPS: Is that you Grant?

Jr`dan says:
::stumbles as she runs into something or someone::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She feels herself bump into someone and nearly throws her fist:: CEO: Yes! Commander? Chief?

Jr`dan says:
::realizes it's the XO:: XO:  Shut up!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: It's me. Are you all right?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Brian how is your head?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head again::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  How dare you.~~~

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
FCO: Fine, why?

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: Outside? Inside? They have come as have you. Both must leave, you fail to answer.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I... I think so. I don't understand what is happening. I... I... I saw myself be assimilated by the Borg. ::She closes her eyes::

Jr`dan says:
~~~ XO:  I dare because I can ... ::stabs deeply:: ~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: My head feels like some one hit it with a sledgehammer.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: You weren’t assimilated. You're still on the bridge of the Pendragon

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: We will leave. I cannot control the actions of the Tweezle. We are helpless so long as you blind us with your light. Can you remove it from our sight, so that we can operate our ship?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Jr'dan advances on the XO, she phases through him having no affect.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  Jordan will never allow hatred to overcome her.  How dare you trouble her.~~~

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
FCO: I don't feel a thing. If I knew where my kit was, I'd give you something.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Hopefully it won't last too much longer.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I... everyone was taken. Isn't it true that these things exist on all planes of time? That means.. I could have seen my future. To... to be assimilated! ::Tears fill her eyes::

Jr`dan says:
~~~ XO:  She and I are one, Mikal.  That is how it must be. ~~~

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: You fail to understand. There is no ship here. There is only what is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: Calm down. You're okay, and so would I be if Mikal would shut up.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  She will throw you off and I will help her.~~~

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::starts to find the chant relaxing::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Prophet: You are right. I do not understand. How can we leave without our ship? 

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I really don't want to become a drone. ::She tries to think about something else:: CEO: Does he always act like this?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: Brian please don't give in to the chant.

Jr`dan says:
~~~ XO:  I don't think so.  You are weak, you cannot help her now. ~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::grabs him and shakes him::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: Only to greater and lesser degrees

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> CO: If you wish to leave, then do not enter.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks around:: FCO: What? Give in? What do you mean?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  I have never been so strong.  Jordan has never been so strong.  You are doomed.  Begone.~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: The Chanting.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: Is this how the Pendragon's missions always are? I mean... I came aboard during the middle of a hearing.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Another flash blinds the CO who finds himself standing back on the bridge on the Pendragon, alone.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
FCO: ::frowns:: I'm not giving in.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: It's a little strange here.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks around, momentarily confused ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: I sense you and you find it soothing. Please Brian stay focused.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I just... I just need to pass this internship. ::She folds her arms around her body as she considers her options::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
FCO: Of course it's soothing. I like the rhythm, not the words.. and what's wrong with it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: opens the intraship comm on his command chair :: *COM*: This is Captain Thraxis. All stations, report.

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> Jr'dan: What are you? You are not whole.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: You'll do fine. Just concentrate on the here and now

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Captain only hears the hiss of silence over the ship's comm system.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants:: Please help her.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: The here and now really isn't anywhere. Technically... we're everywhere.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: waits... nothing ::

Jr`dan says:
Prophet:  Who I am is of no consequence.  I am here, and I will stay here.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
Prophet: Uh, excuse me? I'd like for the rest of us to not enter too, if that's okay?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: Yes, but we'll end Up somewhere. Or die.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  Begone.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Computer: What is the ship's current position?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I really don't want to die right now. ::She pauses:: CEO: Maybe if we ask nicely, the Prophets will send us back to the Pendragon.. .maybe even before this whole mess with the Tweezles started.

Host Coot says:
<Prophet> Jr'dan: You shall do as we wish. You do not belong here or there.

Jr`dan says:
~~~ XO:  Not that easy, I'm afraid. ::begins implanting cruel images from Mikal's past into his mind:: ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: I'm not well versed on the Bajoran prophets, it's hard to say what they'll do.

Jr`dan says:
Prophet:  You cannot interfere!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~::accepts and tries to learn::~~~

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CO: The ship is in 250,000 km outside the Bajoran System.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: I've only studied them at the Academy. There was an entire course on Bajoran culture, which I found fascinating. But I don't really remember much of it. It was during a rather difficult semester.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Self: They've thrown me back in time...   CPU: And our course and speed?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CMO: What we don't need now is a pah wraith.  Prophets forgive me.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: All this blinding light...I can't take it.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophet: Excuse me. Mister or Miss Prophet?

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::shrugs:: FCO: Meh.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The remaining crewmembers stumble upon Jr'dan and Mikal who appear to be struggling with each other in a physical altercation.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CO: The ship is at full stop. Course plotted for the Bajoran Wormhole.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::tries to break it up:: XO/Jr'dan: Enough!

Jr`dan says:
::hits the XO in an attempt to shut him up::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::blinks:: Out loud: Children!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::stumbles and trips::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO phases through the image and neither seems to recognize he is there.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  Begone.~~~

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She notices the fight but decides that she cannot do anything to stop it. She isn't very strong after all:: Prophet: Can you hear me, sir or ma'am?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::lot of good that did::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Are the Tweezle still confined to Cargo Bay Two?

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::catches Maria::

Host Coot says:
<Jordan> Jr'dan: Your place is no longer here.

Jr`dan says:
~~~ XO:  I will haunt you, Mikal ... ~~~ ::laughs menacingly::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jr'dan/Mikal:  Please stop this now.~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A second Jordan, whole and pure emerges from the blinding light and approaches the others.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::Out loud::  Jr’dan: I fear you not!

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks over:: Out loud: ::sighs:: Isn't this nice. Prophets!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::looks in shock:: Jordan: OH by the prophets. You are alright.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CO: The satellite and life forms remain in cargo bay two.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: moves to Science One, scans for the Tweezle he now knows were following the ship earlier ::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She watches all of the events going on around her with a bit of annoyance:: Prophets: I know you don't enjoy watching life forms inflict harm on one another. Is there a way you could find it in your hearts to stop this... and help us?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors show no additional Tweezles.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
Out loud: Prophets! Answer me! End this!

Jr`dan says:
XO:  You should fear me, Mikal.  All the others do.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jr'dan:  Be gone.  ::attempts to throttle her::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: frowns ::  Self: How is that possible? If I really have been thrown back in time...

Host Coot says:
<Prophets> OPS: Help, harm.... you only see what you believe.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Jr'dan: I do not fear you.  Yet you fear us and the prophets why?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Newind is blinded and finds himself back in his temporary quarters at spaceport.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophets: That isn't true at all. I'm very open to other opinions and other views. Why would you say such a thing? You.. you don't even know me.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks around in silence:: Self: Nice.

Jr`dan says:
::spins:: FCO:  I fear nothing! ~~~ launches at the FCO~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::walls go up::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::exits his quarters and looks around::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: thinks for a moment :: Self: If I can't take them through the wormhole... there's only one other place to take them...    :: moves to the helm, sets course ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::takes the onslaught of Jr'dan and fights her mentally::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO and Jr'dan meld into a single image. The second Jordan stands serenely over the area, observing.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jr'dan: You were the one that took my friend from me and I don't forget that easily.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help us.  Please forgive us.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophets: You claim to be the defenders of Bajor. Then why not defend them? ::She straightens her posture a bit::

Jr`dan says:
~~~ FCO:  She is still here ... ~~~ ::is gasping now as the XO is choking her::

Host Coot says:
<Prophets> OPS: You fail to know thyself. Your doubt, your fear, they make you weak. Become what you are, not what you were.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::walks the hallways of the station::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Computer: Scan the ship's interior. Excluding myself, how many humanoid life forms are aboard?

Jr`dan says:
~~~ ::shows the XO the image of himself choking Jordan, slowly killing her:: ~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jr'dan: Then release her to live among us once again~~~

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CO: No other humanoid life forms detected.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophets: I am me and that is all I can be. This isn't time for debate. These Tweezle creatures can destroy Bajor and other civilizations. Can't you do something about them?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Self: Big surprise.  CPU: Computer: Open Captain's Log.

Jr`dan says:
~~~ FCO:  No, I like it here. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::let's go of Jordan's neck::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Mikal: Release Jr'dan in your mind you are killing her. You are killing Jordan.~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Newind receives a comm that he has been cleared to board the Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops chanting::

Jr`dan says:
::is gasping as the XO releases her::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jr'dan: You are the evil of the two. It is you that must die not her!~~~

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::comms back that he understands:: Computer: Where is the Pendragon currently docked?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the image of Jordan::

Host Coot says:
<Prophets> OPS: We have already done what is necessary. Why do you remain? Why do you doubt?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophets: You mean... we all have the ability to just leave here?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chants::  Please help her.  Please forgive me.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CMO: The Pendragon is currently docked at loading deck 3.

Jr`dan says:
::straightens:: XO:  Thank you, Commander.  Now it's my turn ... ::grabs the XO by the throat::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::does not fight back::

Host Coot says:
<Prophets> OPS: When you no longer doubt.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::immediately heads to the Pen, wondering what awaits him::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Captain's Log, stardate 10709.16. The prophets of the Celestial Temple of Bajor have somehow sent me, alone, back in time to a point before the Pendragon entered the wormhole. No one else is aboard. The Tweezle are too dangerous to remain in our Galaxy. I have therefore set course for the Great Barrier at the edge of the Galaxy. Once I have left the Galaxy, I shall release the Tweezle into intergalactic space.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
Prophets: Can you give me the mental strength needed to help my friends? ::She looks toward Mikal Luchena and the Jordan woman::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Another flash and OPS finds herself back on the Pendragon. The Captain is speaking to himself.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::feels his way round the nothingness::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She blinks as she notices the Captain:: CO: Captain! ::She runs over to the Operations Console::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jr'dan:  You will not win.  Not ever.~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jr'dan: By the strength of the Prophets and my mind I will see you lose this battle.~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO and XO are temporarily blinded as well and find themselves back on the bridge on the Pendragon.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She begins to check the readings on her console::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::musters all her strength mentally and pushes into Jr'dan::

Jr`dan says:
::Sees the XO is gone ... she spins angrily::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::stunned:: Self: Thank God

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sitting on the deck rubbing his throat::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO manages to separate herself from Jr'dan and is immediately transported back to her station aboard the Pendragon.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: As the Barrier is known to affect the minds of those who pass through it, I may not be able to return. I will program the ship's computer to activate a self-destruct should it detect that I have developed psionic powers, or am otherwise altered by the trip through the Barrier. End log entry.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overhears Thraxis::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::stands in front of the airlock, and weighs his options as much as he did when he found himself here before... as he finishes, he enters::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::dazed and on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  What the hell are you up to now, Thraxis?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: Ok what just happened?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She notices that others have been sent back to the Pendragon:: All: The Prophets said they took care of the Tweezles...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks around :: XO: Hello, Mikal.

Jr`dan says:
Prophet:  You will return me or I will destroy you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
All: We're back..but where are we...::Looks at his console::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::glares at the CO::  CO:  I said, what are you doing?

Host Coot says:
<Prophets> Jr'dan: You shall remain here. You shall learn to yield.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Welcome back.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir what happened?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::still sitting on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You stupid, ignorant little man.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The second Jordan vanishes from sight of Jr'dan and reappears aboard the Pendragon.

Jr`dan says:
::smiles:: Prophet:  Then I will have power ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Sit down and shut up, Mikal. I've about had a bellyful of you.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Jordan::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::sees Jordan::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather turns her gaze to Mikal Luchena, her eyes rather large at this point::

Jr`dan says:
<Jordan> ::looks around blinking::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Jordan: You made it.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Newind steps into the airlock at spaceport, the doors to the Pendragon bridge open in front of him.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns, smiles :: Jordan: Welcome back, sweetheart. I'm glad you made it back.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Where are the Tweezles?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::sees Brian:: CMO: Help me up please.

Jr`dan says:
<Jordan>CO: What?  ::is confused::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::Steps in:: All: Are we deTweezled yet? ::goes to help up Maria::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Answer me!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: I said... SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. You've resigned your post. I'll discuss this with my crew, thank you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::scans for the aliens::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Where are they?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::gets to her feet with the CMO's help::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather does not really know what to do with these people. She decides to scan for their location and any sign of the Tweezles:: CEO: Can you find the Tweezles on sensors, sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
OPS: Not a one so far

Jr`dan says:
::looks between the CO and the XO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans show no signs of the Tweezles on sensors.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::walks over to CEO:: CEO: They all gone?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CMO: Gone

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overhears the CEO::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CEO: Mine other. It looks like the Prophets did us a favor and saved us from them. ::She smiles brightly toward the Chief Engineer::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
CEO: Including the cargo bay one?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  The Prophets?  They are with the Prophets?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: ignores Luchena :: OPS: Confirm. The Tweezle are no longer aboard?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
All: There is no trace of the aliens anywhere near us

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::takes her station with the aide of the CMO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks at the XO:: XO:  You've resigned?

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::gives a smile of relief:: ALL: Can we please be back to normal then?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
XO: The Prophets told me that they took care of the Tweezles and that I should have trusted them. That we all should have. ::She looks up from her station:: CO: Confirmed, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Is that you?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet. Find out if there have been any reports of mass delirium since we left Sector 001.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  OPS:  Thank you.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head hard::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ ::smiles:: XO:  Yes, Mikal, it's me. ~~~

Host Coot says:
<Transporter Room Chief> *CO* Captain? Are we beaming this satellite aboard or not?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: Please tell me it is you my friend?~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes fill with tears::  ~~~Jordan:  I love you.~~~

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She returns the smile:: XO: Of course, sir. ::She nods toward the CO and does as ordered::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::blinks:: All: What satellite?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks at the XO:: ~~~XO:  What did you say?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Self: Beaming it aboard?  CEO: Jose... check our chronometers. What's the date?  FCO: Rochelle... our position, course, and speed?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  I love you.  ::smiles and turns away::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::checks the computer time date stamp:: CO :Aye

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: 250,000km out of the Bajoran system sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads towards the turbo lift::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Chronographs throughout the ship show ten minutes have passed since first noticing the satellite on sensors.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns:: XO:  Mikal, wait! ::follows him::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, We've been thrown back in time to right before we took the satellite aboard

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  What is going on?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She clicks her tongue as she waits for a response from Starfleet. However, she cannot help but look at the Chief Engineer, her eyes widening as she realizes they were thrown back in time::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::double checks again::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overhears the CEO::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
ALL: Then.. why am I here?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: My error....we are just beyond the Oort cloud.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  We're going to do it again Jordan.  Make sure he does the right thing this time.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head again::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Permission to take a shuttle and depart, Captain.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns:: CO:  Captain, we must destroy that satellite.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: Man this is too much.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She does not know what to say at the news:: Self: Time travel? But...wow.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits down ::  Self:  The Prophets have given us a second chance.  *Transporter Chief*: Power down, Chief. Under no circumstance is that satellite to be beamed aboard!

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: What are we going to do then, sir?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: No. We will not commit genocide.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir you want me to bring us into range of the satellite?

Host Coot says:
<Transporter Room Chief> *CO* Aye Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: We should at least leave a warning buoy if we're not going to destroy it

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Will you never learn?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Negative.  OPS: Open a channel to Starfleet Command.

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
All: Why don't we just put it where it won't be found?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath::  CO:  Permission to take a shuttle and depart Captain?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shakes her head again::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::She sends a hail to Starfleet Command and waits for it to be answered::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Denied.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::rolls his eyes::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: Not good.  This needs to be destroyed.  Oh well....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Albaron, we have to destroy that satellite!  It's our only option!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  You won't mind if I stick around and watch, do you?  ::flops down in his chair::

Host Coot says:
<SFC> COMM: Pen: OPS: Go ahead Pendragon. The Betazed Delegation is awaiting your return. When can we expect you?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO: And if you won't, then I will.  ::moves towards the tactical console::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She looks toward the Captain as she puts the hail on the view screen:: CO: Channel open, sir.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self:  Betazed Delegation?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at his wife with something like pity in his eyes ::  Jordan: You, too, Jordan?

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::doesn't stop Jordan.. not his station anymore::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: moves between his wife and the console ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders at this new twist::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather locks out the Tactical Console from her station::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: quietly :: Jordan: No.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the CO::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to understand::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
Self: Er.. ::looks around:: Out loud: You can't just dial someone up and then not answer them when they say hello.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  You have no idea what they can do.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir with all due respect, if the Prophets are behind this, isn't it our duty and by them ordaining us to destroy the satellite?

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: They are waiting for a response, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::activates his console::

Host Coot says:
<SFC> ::closes the channel::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: They've just closed the channel, sir. I'm attempting to re-establish it. ::She sends another hail, with an apology notice attached to it::

Host Coot says:
<SFC> COMM: Pen: OPS: Pendragon? Is everything okay out there?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::activates targeting scanners and charges weapons::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
COM: SFC: We were having connection issues, Starfleet Command. I'm sorry for that. I'll now transfer you to our Captain. ::She transfers the hail yet again::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
COMM *SFC*: We have encountered an ancient satellite in the Oort cloud outside Sol System. I have reason to believe that it harbors an extremely dangerous life form. Please send a science ship immediately. It is imperative that a means to contain this life form and remove it from inhabited space be found.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees what Mikal is up to ... smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::fires a photon torpedo at the satellite::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: CO: Captain, someone is charging weapons, however, I have the tactical console logged out at the moment.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Out loud: Sir!!!!!!!!!!! Look ::points to the view screen::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::sees over Mikal's shoulder, but still says nothing::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather attempts to find out who is accessing the weapon systems, but is too late:: CO: Sir! A torpedo has been fired!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Self-destruct.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A single torpedo launches and strikes the satellite, destroying it in a spectacular explosion.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shields her eyes::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: Ay... it has hit its target, sir. The satellite has been destroyed.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Mikal: You have just sealed your fate I am afraid.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::whispers to no one in particular::  Thank you.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: taps his commbadge :: *COM*: Security team to the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::logs off his console::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::puts a hand on Mikal's shoulder, with a look of disappointment::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  It's all right.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Advise Starfleet Command that my last request is no longer operative.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::turns and looks at Mikal with watery eyes knowing what he is in for and knows what he did was right::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::looks at Mikal::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::secretly moves over to the weapons locker and pulls out two phasers::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather begins to move her hands quickly along her console, removing all of Commander Luchena's access codes, including those that go with his rank:: CO: Understood, sir. ::She sends that message to command::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  No.  He's your husband.~~~

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
::shakes his head:: XO: ::quietly:: It's really not, Mikal. It's really not.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::stands quickly::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  I do not want to see you go, Mikal. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
All:  It's been my honour to serve with you.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She watches the Commander, not really sure what to think at this point::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: I wish I could say the same, Mikal.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: Please my friend don't do this.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::ignores Thraxis::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::throws one of the phasers to Mikal::

CMO_Lt_Newind says:
<Security Team> ::arrives on the Bridge and takes position::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lets the phaser drop to the floor::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She raises an eyebrow as she notices a phaser being tossed and immediately erects a force field around both Jordan and Mikal::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Sec: Mr. Luchena is under arrest. He is to be confined to the brig.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns to look in amazement at Jordan ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  ~~~Jordan:  Thank you for trying.  Tell him about what happened in the wormhole.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: Put that away, before I have to have you arrested, as well.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
CO: Force field established between both Commanders, sir. ::She cannot believe what the wife of the Captain just tried to do::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Then you will have to arrest me, Albaron.  This is wrong!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles at the security team::  SEC:  Well, take me away.  ::holds out his wrists::

Host Coot says:
