Host CO_Fowler says:
::on bridge, at SCI station::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: Not much to tell, I didn't view the events myself..  The poor crewman are so traumatized I had to remove them from duty and send them to the Counselor..
MO_Ens_Gill says:
::looks over to Kela, sighs and shakes her head:: Kela: No... no, they're still just... vacant. I can't explain it

::Gently he reaches out to it with his mind:: ~~~~We are not enemies.  Do You understand?~~~~~
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CTO: If is energy, which should be able to contain it with a non-conducting element
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: If it's just plain energy...but what if it has some sort of sentience?
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Taps her badge:: *CTO*: Thorne, all I can get up here are standard energy readings, what can you tell me about that ball?

ACTION: The Energy Form suddenly brightens and then the EPS conduit burns out and the form vanishes.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CTO*: Watch your back, Thorne
SO_ENS_Semaj says:
CSO: If it is sentient then the deaths may have been an accident of trying to communicate with us.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS/CEO/CSO: Can we contain it in a localized force field if we have to  *CO*: Yes ma'am
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: What do you propose?  Putting it in a rubber room?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::Sees a bright flash:: CEO: Any ideas?

MO_Ens_Gill says:
::frowns, taps the console again:: *Bridge* Sickbay to anyone on the bridge, please resp... ::looks towards the voice and darts out of the room:: Kela: What is it?!
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CTO: If it wants energy to feed off, the biggest one we have is the warp core

CTO: Possibly, although it could also have simply overloaded itself or moved on to an even bigger power source
[NPC]-Dr_Ahkileez says:

CSO: Ike, do you concur that it wouldn't hurt to at least come up with a way to contain the being if it shows back up?  OPS/CEO: How about you two?
 [NPC]-Dr_Ahkileez says:
::takes Jyg's hand firmly, reaching out with her mind to his but unable to feel much::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: Wouldn't hurt at all.  We're not doing any good down here, however.  I'm heading to the bridge.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: A way to contain it would be nice, but do we know enough about it to make a successful container?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CTO: I agree. We should find a way to contain. Kill if necessary also
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CSO: Acknowledged
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CEO: I don't know yet Lt.   But let's work on something
MO_Ens_Gill says:
::shrugs:: Kela: I don't know, I wasn't able to get in contact with anyone on the bridge... I guess they have their hands full up there. ::looks back to their patients:: Readings indicate... unconsciousness, well that's helpful...
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: I agree Alex, no matter how much I hate that idea
SO_ENS_Semaj_ says:
CSO: If only I could have made contact with it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: Kill?  We don't even know if it's alive.  ::shakes his head and walks toward the TL::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CSO: Chances are we wont have to kill it. But, we do need a plan just in case

*CO*: Aye ma'am  Captain, has anyone checked on the status of the Holodeck?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: I can't believe it....what if that being gets into the holomatrix
MO_Ens_Gill says:
::smiles:: Kela: Agreed... should we try and revive them?
Host CO_Fowler says:
*CTO*: Just doing that now, Thorne, hold on a minute..........
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
CTO: That could be a rather profit killing disaster if that happened...  if it sucked enough power from the holodeck...
[NPC]-Dr_Ahkileez says:
::thinks for a minute:: MO: Theta-wave readings are stable. BP and heart rate has sped back up to normal. I think we can risk it.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CTO: If it gets to the holopower grid, then no more holograms

OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO/XO/CTO: I just don't know if it was before or after they left

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Raises her eyebrows at that:: OPS: Our guests, or someone else...

SO_ENS_Semaj_ says:
Self: Stupid. CSO: I should have seen it before.  I am sorry I missed it.  I will try to do better next time, sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CTO*: Emissary, I know.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: I can't expect anyone to notice everything.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::arrives in the lab, has the first nanomachine disassembled, and goes to work, trying to salvage what little of this day can be salvaged::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head:: All: I could have been a freighter captain. Sure, would have been boring but none of this ever happens on a freighter.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::beginning to get angry:: CO: Emissary said we'd continue to provide them with "new" information  *CSO*: It's a possibility Ike
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CO*: Captain, we could use command on the bridge.  I'm picking up another blinking blue light.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: It's like looping a tape to fool someone... sir I don't think the Wanderlust was ever here, the real one that is.
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CO/CTO: I say land on the moon, make repairs, and leave this area as soon as possible
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: But you would be bored, Jyg. CSO: On my way, Ike
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::finds a likely spot and begins extracting the coding of the nanomachine::
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Jyg, finish up here.  I'll be  on the bridge
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
OPS: We better make sure they didn't leave us any surprises down there Alex  ::smiling::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye Captain.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: You'd better go with her, Thorne. ::smiles:: But leave the Sec team.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Leaves the holodeck and goes to the bridge::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
CTO: Of course. Can't forget to do that ::says with humor in her voice::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Doctor, could you adjust our sensors to detect anything like this again? Just in case?
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::extracts the code into a secured little section of the core reserved for this lab and begins running various algorithms on it::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Holds the TL for Thorne:: CTO: If it is the Emissary again....
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Yes sir, but it would take at least one 'loop' to detect the fraud.
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I know ma'am
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: But they may have made their first mistake Captain
Host CO_Fowler says:
::The TL arrives at the bridge and they exit::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Good. Get working on it, Doctor. ::looks at Alex::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: True, we just need to catch them now
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
::steps out of the TL with the Captain and goes to his console::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Supervise the shutting down of this program. Ensure that the last readings from the computer are stored and readily retrieved.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Report, Ike ::Moves to her chair::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am and then this mission may be "easy" after all ::laughing::
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Laughs with Thorne::
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
XO: Aye sir.
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::runs the coding through the universal translator for the heck of it, running out of ideas::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::moves toward the Captain:: CO: You're pretty much caught up.  We've got another blue light at a distance of about one light year. Identical to the previous.
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::accesses the main computer and makes the simple adjustment to the scanning routines to look for repeating loops::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: I see.  ::Turns to Thorne:: CTO: Same readings?
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am would you believe another blue light...Yes ma'am
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::Moves towards the nearest computer terminal and begins getting rid of the program::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::takes some samples of the nanopiles and drops them in his medkit::
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the dusty black stuff underfoot:: OPS: ...Oh, and Lieutenant. Get someone down here to clean this up. Put all of it in storage for now. Cargobay 2.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
SO: I'm heading to Astrometrics.  I want to get a reading on this flowspace.  Be my liaison on the bridge.  ::heads out::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO/CSO: That's their weakness.  The ability to change things enough for us not to notice the similarities
Host CO_Fowler says:
ALL: Hmmm, the last time we moved to a blue light, we found the Wanderlust and her crew, this time what will we find?
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::orders crewman to store all necessary data in the computer::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::draws a blank, saves the code, and the extracts the code from the rest of the machines, saving it all into the core to save time::
CTO_LtCmdr_Knight says:
CO: I don't know ma'am but I'm looking forward to it this time
SO_ENS_Semaj_ says:
::Nods to the CSO as he leaves::
CMO_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::seeing as his work here seems to be done, he heads back to sickbay to more thoroughly study the nanomachines::
CEO_Lt_Brax says:
::begins full algorithm testing on the code from all the machines combined, using different combinations and various other methods:;
OPS_Lt_Horn says:
::taps a few buttons and the program disappears:: XO: Program is gone and the specified data stored
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Then by all means, let's explore it. Only this time we know what to look for
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Alex:: *CO*: Ahkileez to the Bridge. Captain, things are under control down here for the moment. I'm on my way up. Ahkileez out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Come on, Lieutenant. Let's head upstairs.
Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Understood Cmdr
