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

Host Coot says:
The U.S.S. Pendragon continues to search for solutions to the aging problems plaguing the crew and the ship. However, matters became far more complicated once they attempted to control the Warp 10 field emitted from a shuttlecraft. Ferengi in the area claimed it to be theirs and opened fire on the Pendragon.

Host Coot says:
Oddly, the Warp 10 protected the Pendragon and managed to make the Ferengi weapons fire vanish. Upon containing the Warp 10 field to within the realm of the shuttlebay, time corrected itself and the Pendragon was struck by the numerous disruptor blasts instantaneously.

Host Coot says:
< < < < Resume Mission > > > > 

ACTION: The Pendragon shakes from the aftershocks of being hit by the Ferengi weapons.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley begins to scream as the ship begins to rock:: Outloud: What is going on!?!?!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::is flung from her chair by the impact::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::pulls himself off the floor and sits in his chair wiping blood that is dripping from his forehead::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Just a little turbulence.  Nothing to panic about.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Alert klaxons wail throughout the ship. Damage reports begin slowly coming into the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She nearly falls over from the blast:: All: We have been ordered to evacuate Sickbay. I will confirm those orders. ::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge. Is evacuation still necessary?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: What does that mean? ::She begins to cry::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the aCTO::  aCTO: Status of our shields and weapons?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::escapes from the evil Servek and heads for the bridge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Functioning normally.  Surprisingly.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  It means we're going to look after you and keep you safe.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::pulls herself up:: CO:  Should I rescind the evac order seeing as the breach is contained?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Target the Ferengi weapon systems but hold your fire.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::studies tactical instrument panel::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> Barnes: Have emergency medical teams ready to act at a moment's notice. ::She waits for a response from the Bridge. After all, they were efficient weren't they?::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But... but... this can't be safe! ::She screams even louder::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Targeting.  ::targets::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Jordan:: Jordan: Hail the Ferengi.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::arrives on the bridge, takes his station::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::opens a channel:: CO:  Channel open.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::frowns:: XO:  Shush.  You're hurting my ears.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *Thraxis*: Servek to Thraxis.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  Go ahead.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I want my mommy! I don't like all of you crazy people! ::She jumps up::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Your mommy isn't here right now.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *Thraxis*: Are evacuations still necessary for the decks ordered by the Captain? I believe Sickbay may be needed at this time.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::fingers ready to fire::

Host Coot says:
$ <Ferengi> COMM: Pen: Surrender the vessel to us! Now! ::cackles in that goofy Ferengi sorta way::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I don't like you! ::She runs toward the exit of Sickbay and darts out::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::takes off after the little brat::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  Negative.  Stay put for now.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Urkal: Ferengi vessel, you will stand down or I will NOT be responsible for the following actions.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She makes her way into a Jeffries Tube and begins climbing the ladder::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *Thraxis*: Understood. Thank you for such a speedy response Commander. Sickbay out. ::She cuts the comm::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::wipes more of the blood away from his eye::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::watches the little monster climb the ladder::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengis ignore the hail and open fire again. Shields absorb the majority of the impact, although the hull is struck a few times.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
*aCTO*:  The Executive officer, in the form of a small girl, is running amok in the Jeffrey's tube.  Could you get a security team after her?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Stay away from me! ::She climbs even faster::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Shields are down to 13% Sir. Hull breaches on decks 8, 9, and 10.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::is not going to tangle with the little hellion on a ladder::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steadies himself from the impact and hears his CEO::  aCTO: Fire.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::As the ship begins to shake, her feet slip from the ladder:: Outloud: Help me! Help me!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::fires::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She begins to dispatch teams to those locations in need of medical assistance::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sensors are indicating we have been hit by 286 disruptor blasts at the same time.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel is rocked and its shields fail immediately.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: This happened at the same time we contained the Warp 10 field.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::shakes head hearing the aCTO::  aCTO: Obviously they must have been frozen in time from the warp bubble.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::studies her readings:: CO:  The Ferengi's shields are down!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She cannot regain her balance and begins to fall::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: This shouldn't be happening

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Status on the Ferengi after the last volley?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hears Jordan::  aCTO: Take out those weapons.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel is powering weapons again.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps forward to grab the XO::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye.  ::targets weapons and fires phasers::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::attempts to lock onto the Ferengi in case the CO orders her to beam them out::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Scully* Please go help the Counselor collect the XO.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She falls into Quinn's arms and causes him to fall down onto his backside:: Outloud: Ahh! Ahh! Please! I! I!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The trusty Tribble at Tactical quickly tempers any further trouble from the tiny Ferengi tub. Its weapons are down and a large hole can be spotted in its hull.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::rips the left sleeve off of his uniform and raps it around his forehead to stop the incessant blood::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Status on Ferengi?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*CMO* Medic needed on the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *aCTO*: Understood.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::tries to hang on to the little brat as he gets up::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengi are backing off.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::scans the ship:: Disabled.  Weapons are offline ... There's also a rather large hole in its hull.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Let's go see the nice Doctor lady again.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully goes to help the Counselor::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  They're backing off, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She places her head on his shoulder and begins to cry:: CNS: I'm sorry! I'm just a bad little girl!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Cease fire.  Let them go but what them closely.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::assigns repair teams::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::ceases fire and watches sensors carefully::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::pats her on the back::  XO:  That's okay.  You're just scared.   ::makes his way out of the Jeffrey's tube and back into the corridor::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Repairs are underway captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to Damien::  CEO: Take Jordan and get down to that shuttle.  Find me a way to destroy the Warp Ten field.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Nurse Deliciousness> ::She steps onto the Bridge a few moments after being called by Lieutenant Tribble:: aCTO: What seems to be the problem?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> CNS: Do you need any help?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She whispers in his ear:: CNS: The doctor lady is mean. She doesn't like kids.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Nurse: The CO needs medical treatment.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears the CO ... gets up and moves to the TL::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::sullen:: CO: Thats the thing captain, I've already destroyed the dame thing at least a dozen times. Jordan: You're with me.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks over at the attractive security woman::  Scully:  I think we're okay now.  What was the red alert about anyway?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel is in critical condition. They power up engines and achieve ramming speed. Impact in 20 seconds.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Nurse Deliciousness> ::She nods and makes her way over to the Captain. Immediately, Deliciousness notices his head injury. She immediately takes out her Tricorder:: CO: It looks like you have taken quite a beating Captain.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  She's a Vulcan.  She doesn't like anything.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Sir!  The Ferengi vessel!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: We are under attack by a Ferengi vessel.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Oh. Well then... I don't think I want to be a Vulcan. Can I be an Andorian? They're pretty and have pretty skin.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::gets angry at Damien's response but is more angry at the Mistress called "Time" and barks back at the CEO::  CEO: Then destroy it again, and again....  and we'll keep destroying the BLASTED thing until it is SENT BACK to the Prophets!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Nurse Deliciousness> ::She takes a few steps back as the Captain issues his outburst::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::holds a hand up at the nurse::  Nurse: No time for that now.  I've mended it as well as any injury from Bajor.  When this mission si done I'll come visit you in Sickbay.  ::feeling his temper boil::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  You just be who you are.  Human and Betazoid is a perfect mix.  ::returns to sickbay with the little XO in his arms::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Do you like me?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: I think I'll just wait around for a bit, Counselor.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Nurse Deliciousness> CO: Of course Captain. ::She does not want to deal with that anger...::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<previous line comes from Scully>

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::deposits the XO on a biobed and looks at her seriously::  XO:  I think your going to grow up into a beautiful and strong woman.  In fact, I know so.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the replacement OPS::  Icallit: Yes?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But then why do I sense something weird from you? Why are you scared that you might disappear too?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Scully:  That might be wise.  Do you see Dr. Servek around here anywhere?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit>  CO:  They're moving to ram!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> CNS: I'll check. ::calls out for Dr. Servek and then goes looking::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Icallit: What??  Evasive action now!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Target their propulsion and kindly slice it from their ship!!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She steps out of the Chief Medical Officer's office:: Scully/CNS: Do you require my immediate assistance? At the moment, I am rather busy.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: With pleasure!  ::fires phasers and photon torps::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::enters the TL and heads to the shuttle bay::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Too?  Is that what your afraid of?  Disappearing?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::targets and continues firing::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: No one ever notices me. I'm just the average girl that no one thinks will do good things. ::She looks down at the ground:: CNS: But I will. I know I will.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel dissolves into a fine showering of dust and debris, harmlessly vanishing into the Pendragon's shields.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::picks up a medical tricorder and begins scanning the XO::  XO:  Yes, I know you will too.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Got him!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She leaves the CNS and begins to work on the other patients::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But... why are you scared?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Scannng for survivors.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::grits his teeth feeling somewhat pleased at their destruction but hides it::  aCTO: Well done Lieutenant.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::still scanning::  XO:  What makes you think I'm scared?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps his Comm. Badge::  *Jordan*: Vn'dor to Thraxis?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I can sense it... well maybe not scared. I don't know what to call it. But you might disappear right?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::exits the TL ... stops as she is walking down the corridor and taps her comm badge:: *CO*:  Thraxis here.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks over the tricorder readings and frowns::  XO:  It's hard to explain.  I'm not really from here and might have to go back.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: No survivors, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But wouldn't your daddy be sad? And your step-mommy?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Damage reports continue to come in. Oddly, they are less severe than previously reported.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Jordan* What kind of galactic phenomenon are in the area?  Gas Giants, Giant Yellow Stars, black holes... anything of the sort?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::wonders what other information the girl has picked out from his head::  XO:  I don't know about my step-mother, but yes my father would be sad.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Your step-mommy really does love you I think. She is just, I don't know the word... ::She thinks hard and squints her eyes as she does so::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  I didn't do that detailed a scan, Sir.  We were concentrating on our shuttle and then the Ferengi vessel.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Computer: correlate reports of damage with previous reports and explain discrepancy.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::getting a lump in his throat as he looks at the child::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Captain, something is strange ... I cannot detect anything beyond 25 light years away and sensors cannot locate DS3.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods understanding Jordan even though she can't see him::  Jordan: Understood Mrs. Thraxis.  I'll have Lieutenant Tribble scan.  Thank you.  Vn'dor out.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS:... she... I don't think she thinks that you will... acc...accept her? Yeah! That's the word! She doesn't think you'll accept her as a mommy because you have one already...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::turns around and stares at OPS::

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CTO: There is no discrepancy. During the past six hours, repairs have continued on schedule.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::blinks a few times::  XO:  My mother is a Vulcan, and you know what they are like. I could always use one more.  ::winks at the child::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow at the replacement OPS::  Icallit: What?  Please tell me the universe is NOT collapsing in on itself and becoming younger because I put a containment field around the warp ten bubble.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::turns back around and begins scanning, stopping to wonder at the report of CPU::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles:: CNS: But do you accept your step-mommy? I've only ever had one mommy... and one mommy is great!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  To be honest, Sir, I don't know what is going on ... but your hypothesis is a logical conclusion ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hears the computer::  aCTO: Six hours?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes her way over to the diagnostic console and begins to go over some key medical readings::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully wonders if she should leave and begins backing up::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I don't know her very well, but getting to know her better all the time.  I think she might be nearly as great as you are.  ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But I'm not that great. ::She shrugs:: CNS: Is she pretty like her? ::She points to Scully::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: That's what I heard, too.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::notes the attractive security officer getting ready to leave::  Scully:  Thank you for your assistance.

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CTO: Six hours is not a valid inquiry. Please restate your request.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I never noticed if she was pretty or not.  ::looks at Scully::  Maybe, but in a different way.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  I could do an analysis ... but that would require several hours.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Could time be accelerating?  How does that explain a universe apparently only 25ly in diameter?  Or is it simply that we can't scan that far?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She cannot help but grin:: CNS: You think that girl is pretty.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Icallit: Run a diagnostic on our sensor systems.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Icallit: We don't have several hours.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes her way back over to the CNS:: CNS: Has there been any change Counselor?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Yeah, there is something about her lips that makes me want to kiss her.  ::grins::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Unknown, Sir.  I will try to formulate a query for our Computer.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  Her age has stabilized.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Eww! That is icky!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  I am already doing so.  As far as I can tell sensors are functioning normally.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns back to the aCTO:: aCTO: Launch a probe.  How long will it take to travel 25 Light Years?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She inclines her head:: CNS: I fear this may not be reversible by our standards. ::She moves away and taps her Combadge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Unknown, given the change in normal physics.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: Servek to Captain Vn'dor.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at her::  aCTO: Then launch the probe and we'll see.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::laughs::  XO:  Just wait until you grow up.  You will meet a handsome man, brave and true... well, maybe not all that brave, and probably not too true either, but...  ::voice trails off as what Servek says sinks in::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CNS*: Vn'dor to Luchena.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::readies probe and launches it, scanning for data from it::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Luchena here Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: I do not believe Commander Yates-Luchena's condition will be able to be reversed by our own personal means. From what I can determine, she may be stuck at her current age.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: What does she mean that I can't be fixed? Am I sick?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing Servek butt in:: *CNS/Servek*: How is she doing otherwise?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<EDIT: be stuck = remain>

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::arrives in the shuttle bay ... begins scanning the bubble.  Moves over to a nearby console and pulls up the information Cmdr Damien had on collapsing the bubble::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO: Not sick no.  There was sort of an accident and you started aging backwards, getting younger.  But its stopped now.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: That is for the Counselor to decide. ::She moves off to her scans::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The probe quickly disappears from sight, sending back a dearth of data before promptly vanishing 30 seconds later at a distance of 24 light years.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: You mean, I was older at one time? How old?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
*CO*:  She's wanting to know what's happening to her.  I'm trying to find an age appropriate way to explain.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  You were a grown up woman.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The probe has .... vanished at approximately 24 light years away.   Analyzing data.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: You know... I have ears, right?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CNS/Servek*: You realize Doctor... that if you can't reverse her aging process, we can no longer recognize her Starfleet rank or position.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Yes, I can see them sticking out the side of your head.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Captain, I may have an hypothesis.  What if we are the ones stuck in the bubble ...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She nearly jerks at his response:: CNS: But how? I don't... I don't remember being old.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Can you tell me how you know what my step-mother thinks of me?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: That is correct Captain. A nine year old Betazoid/Terran hybrid is not allowed to hold a commission as a Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hears the aCTO and then turns to Icallit:: Icallit: Interesting conclusion.  And very possible.  Get to work on your hypothesis immediately.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: That may explain why the probe vanished.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Sends probe data to OPS::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I don't know. I just know. Kind of like how I know what other people are thinking and feeling.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Yes, Captain.  ::she turns back to her console and begins working::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Engineering reports the transporter system is locking onto a target several trillion kilometers away. Furthermore, the physcis are indicative of those seen with subspace transporters previously used on older Excelsior vessels.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO curiously::  XO:  That must be confusing.  ::tries to change the subject::  Are you hungry or sleepy or anything?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: However, I may be able to find a way to stimulate her mind. I will let you know when I have devised a plan. ::She looks at Quinn:: CNS: I need to speak with you.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CNS* I trust you will find a way Ensign....  ::pauses thinking of what will happen to Quinn if they manage to destroy the Warp Ten field::  ...and Mr. Luchena?  I have never told you this before...  but it has been an honour knowing you sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::swallows, hard, on hearing the Captain's words::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Servek*: Very good doctor.  I trust you will find a way.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Are you going to... die? ::She starts to cry::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Scully* Go to the transporter room immediately.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> ::takes detailed scans of the entire area around them::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  No.  Just going away maybe.  But listen to me.  This is very important.  If anything happens to me, ask that you be sent to Mikal.  He will look after you.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But... but ::She jumps into his arms and gives him a big hug:: CNS: You can't die!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: I am sending you data from all previous scans.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::returns the hug::  XO:  I'm not going to die.  But if I disappear, go to Mikal.  Remember.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She watches Ashley and Quinn curiously. For a split second, she almost felt a sense of remorse. However, the feeling disappeared almost instantaneously::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> aCTO:  Thank you, Lt.  ::continues working::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I don't want to! I want to stay with you!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Jordan* How are you making out down there Mrs. Thraxis?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::whispers in her ear::  XO:  Mikal is my father.  He'll look after you, I promise.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She lets him go and just stares at him::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: Counselor, please follow me into my office. ::She makes her way into the CMO's Office::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  I'm pulling down all the relevant information.  Seeing I have never done this before ....

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Will you be okay by yourself for a few minutes?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I think so. ::She looks around the room a bit frightened:: CNS: Just come back.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I'll just be in there with the Doctor.  You can see us from here.  ::heads to the CMO's office::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks over his console:: Jordan: Any ideas on how to beat this thing - again?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: What was the verdict on the probe?  Did the galaxy end in 25 light years or is it simply that we cannot scan beyond 25 light years for some reason?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> ::correlates the readings from the probe and her own scans, comparing the two::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: I believe there may be a way for you to help Commander Yates-Luchena. Because of your obvious connection with her, you may be able to stimulate her mind through the use of your empathic abilities and her telepathic abilities. ::She says as she follows him into the office::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO:  I have no idea ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Or more importantly.... is there something with in 25 light years that is large enough to swallow a Federation shuttle?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CEO:  What did you do last time?

Host Coot says:
<EO> *CEO* Sir, the transporters are targeting the exact spot where we recovered you and the XO from.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Jordan: Ready us for launch, I have an idea

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: The probe vanished.  It didn't simply stop transmitting.  Unknown if whatever is out there can ..... swallow us.  ::swallows::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  I'm hesitant to attempt it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*EO*: Understood.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Right.  ::moves to a nearby shuttle, climbs onboard and begins pre-flight::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: I understand your hesitation. However, would you prefer that Commander Luchena remains in her current state?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::follows her into the shuttle::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sensors show nothing beyond 23 light years.   Our world is shrinking.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::scratches at his head hearing the aCTO while one finger hits the material from his sleeve reminding him that he tied it around his head::  aCTO: Ideas?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She watches the two talk in the office. She understands most of what they are talking about::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CEO/Jordan*: Vn'dor to Commander Damien and Thraxis.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  I don't see how it will help.  It's not going to affect her physically, and for her to realize that she's trapped in that little body... No.  I won't do it.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Try to burst out of the bubble.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: We're here Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: She will also not remember her previous life. Do you believe she would want to forget all of her memories? Her memories of her husband, you, and her friends and family?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::powers up the shuttle's engines ... they are ready to go::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CEO*: Commander, move away from the shuttle.  We are going to try and push it through the 23 light year barrier around us.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Aye. Should I report to the bridge?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She begins to swing her legs as she sings a song in her head::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  For our minds to meld to the extent necessary, she will have access... she is likely to pull all my thoughts out.  It will only confuse her.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Jordan: You heard the man. Let’s get out.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::thinks for a moment:: *CEO*: Negative Commander, it might be best for a control push through.  You and Jordan get into another shuttle and tractor it to the edge and let it go.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: Not if I assist in controlling those thoughts. ::She says this quite frankly::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Will do.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CEO:  We're ready to go.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  Absolutely not.  ::abruptly leaves the CMO's office::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::thinks there is no way he's allowing that woman inside his head::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Jordan: We're going to be tractoring another shuttle ::fires it up remotely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CEO*: And Commander...  is it possible to keep the containment field around the shuttle?  Perhaps if we accessed the shuttle computer from the Pendragon and raised it's shields?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She watches the Counselor leave and follows him out:: CNS: Perhaps you are not as caring for your loved ones as you make yourself think. ::She moves toward a medical console::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She jumps up from the Biobed and tags Scully on the side:: Scully: You're it! ::She skips away::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Captain, I believe we are, indeed, inside the bubble.  I also believe our Transporter might be an answer.  If I am correct, the transporter has locked onto a point outside the bubble ... to where our original shuttle was, in fact.  ::brings up the data for the CO to see::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Servek:  Don't try guilt tripping me, Doctor.  It won't work.  ::returns to the XO::  How are you doing?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> CNS: I am stating a logical observation, Counselor. An observation it seems you have attempted to ignore.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> XO: Skip-tag?  ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks over to OPS and looks at her screen::  Icallit: Are you saying that the "real" universe is inside of the shuttle?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Scully: If you can catch me! ::She pulls Quinn's sleeve:: Scully: Or him!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> XO: I think I'm up to this ::skips after the XO::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::launches both shuttles, keeping a tractor beam on the pilotless one::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  It may be possible, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She skips around Sickbay giggling away:: Scully: You can't get me!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate the transporters are transporting minute traces of subspace material to and from the shuttlebay.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::can't quite bring himself to "skip"::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Come on uncle Quinn! Skip with us!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully skips around trying to catch the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the replacement OPS he taps his comm. badge again:: *CEO* Belay that order Commander.  You and Jordan return to the bridge.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks over at Servek, not willing to sacrifice his dignity in her presence::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Sensors are also detecting minute traces of subspace material are being transported to and from the shuttle bay.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::reverses the shuttles and returns them to the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns back to OPS::  Icallit: Is it possible to transport us... AND the entire Pendragon through to that point within the shuttle?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: We'll be back in a minute or so - we weren’t that far away.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She turns her attention toward the skipping and stares at Quinn. Servek taps her Combadge as she makes her way back into her office:: *CO*: Unfortunately Captain, Counselor Quinn will not participate in my potential plan. Commander Yates-Luchena will remain in her current state unless we find another method.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> CNS: C'mon, Counselor. :;smiles::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  I do not know, Captain.  I will investigate the possibility.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::calls out hoping the comm is still open::  Servek:  It's a bad plan!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Servek* Why is that doctor?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She moves in behind Quinn and gives him a little nudge:: CNS: It is easy! Just try it!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::grabs the XO's little arm::  XO:  Hang on.  Let's try another game.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> CNS: Counselor, Tag.   You're it!   ::laughs::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::brings both shuttles to a halt in the shuttlebay::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: He is unwilling to participate in a type of "memory transfer" that may indeed restore some of the Commander's memories, which, in turn, may cause all of her thoughts to resurface. However, he does not wish to take the risk for fear that it may injure Commander Yates-Luchena's mental state when and if her memories do return.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO:  Any idea on what's going on?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Traces of the Pendragon's hull appear to be dissolving.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Hold on to my hands.  ::holds out his hands::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She stops as the CNS grabs her:: CNS: But you're it now! ::She watches him:: CNS: Why?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: scans indicate we're dissolving!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Jordan: We're needed  on the bridge ::gets out of the shuttle:: Lets go

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  It's a game.  Hold my hands and concentrate.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I do like games! ::She takes his hands and concentrates by squinting her eyes::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<OPS_Icallit> CO:  Confirmed, Captain.  We are dissolving.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO and Jordan vanish from the shuttlebay.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs:: *Servek* Well we can't order him to do something that will hurt a patient's mental capacity any more than we can order you to do something that will injure a patient.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: That is correct, Captain. I just wanted to inform you of the situation.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: I am trying to boost our containment field for the ship. ::works frantically::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::reluctantly pushes his mental boundaries aside and tries to see into the little girl's mind::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing OPS and Tribble::  Icallit/aCTO: BY THE PROPHETS!!  Push that shuttle out of the bay.  Warn an evacuation and blow the shuttlebay's doors!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The entire shuttlebay has dissolved as well as most of the lower half of the ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::suddenly finds himself on the bridge::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Self: What the....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::suddenly finds herself on the bridge as well::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Quinn and Ashley meld, their memories become one just before Quinn vanishes from sight.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon sits approximately 50,000 km from the convergence between the twin stars of Alpha Sigma Nine. Whatever the Pendragon was scanning for is no longer there.

Host Coot says:
