Host Admiral_Harlan says:
Admiral's log SD 10511.03:  Having need of Captain Mordane, a change of command has occurred on the Sharikahr.  It was my understanding that the colonists had invited the crew down as a thank you for helping the alien vessel Victory.  What I have read from the reports grabs my curiosity.  I would like to know more about this ship; perhaps later.
Host Admiral_Harlan says:
As for their guest Zen... I have been learning some interesting facts about the young women.  As soon as my files are complete, I will pass that information on.  For now… she may actually be a good catalyst for the crew.  I wonder how the party for the command staff is going.
Host Admiral_Harlan says:
<<<<<<<<<< Oh Brother... Oh Sister... >>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sitting in the ready room, gathering his thoughts::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@::eating some food, before going to talk to her hosts::
Host NightWind says:
Scenery:  Around the away team, laughter can be heard amongst the music.  The food is over all enjoyable, though there is something odd about the meat.
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Walking through the large room with a smile on her face as she watches everyone:: CNS: Have you tried any meat yet? It is my favorite dish, I must say. ::Takes a bit on her plate and takes a bite::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Just finishing up with the CMO and heads for a banquet table to scope it out.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::finnishes making sure he has everything, and moves to find somewhere to mingle... and observe::
SO_Talina says:
:: Standing before the ready room door, activates the chime a bit nervously.::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
SO: Come in.
Brother_John-Paul says:
@::Walks to the FCO::  FCO: Care to dance?
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ Sister: Yes I was just eating some. It has such an interesting flavor. What is it?
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  One of the colonists, takes the captain in hand and leads her to the dance floor for a simple waltz.
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Smiles as she takes a bite of the delicious meat before her:: CNS: It is flesh of course. ::Smiles a bit wondering what type of question that is::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Brother: I suppose, however I must warn you I have a tendency to step on feet.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::meanders his way not quite so obviously to where the FCO and brother what's-his-name are::
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@CNS: We actually farm them ourselves. They start off as children and then when they get to that tender age we perform the slaughter. ::Takes another bite::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@Sister: Yes, I know it's flesh, but what type of animal does it come from?
Brother_John-Paul says:
@FCO: Do you not dance much?
SO_Talina says:
:: Enters the room.::  CEO:  I have that report ordered concerning the acid.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Nods to the CTO.:: CTO: Lt.  Have you been formally introduced to Brother John-Paul yet?
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
SO: Yes Ensign.. what is it?
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@CNS: We do not have any real animals here... we harvest our own to be eaten.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::pretends to be interested in one of the table settings:: FCO: Hmm? Oh, erm... I can't say I have, commander. ::moves to join them::
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Her smile widens as she notices the FCO and Brother John Paul::
SO_Talina says:
:: Hands him the report.::  CEO:  Well... it is really most odd.  I have not yet been able to determine what excatly the acid is... but there is biomater mixed in it.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::covers the look of horror as she gets the picture:: Sister: Your own as in your own people?
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
SO: Biomatter? Where did the acid come from?
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@CNS: In a sense yes but you see, they are not like us; they are rasied from infancy to be eaten, as animals you see.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the crew look around, they notice that there are no old colonists and very few young ones.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ Sister: Please excuse me for a moment
Brother_John-Paul says:
@::Tilts his head slightly as he watches the CTO::  CTO: Are you not enjoying yourself?  Would you rather dance with this lovely lady?
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@CNS: Of course. ::Turns back to the food::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Brother: How is it you lost contact with the outside?
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@::walks quickly without running towards the antichamber with the fountains::
SO_Talina says:
CEO:  Well sir... again, that is the problem.  From interviewing various people, I have no idea... they had no idea.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::just shakes his head faintly, raises an eyebrow, then just shrugs:: Brother: I don't dance. Though the place does look like it could handle a nice party.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::gets out of sight and sound range and throws up her dinner::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The captain is taken to one of the back rooms.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@:: walks out after finishing and goes directly to the CTO::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sighs and thinks for a moment:: SO: Do we have a tissue sample of some kind from the stowaway?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Notes that the CO is being led to a place away from the others and nods to the CTO to covertly keep an eye out.::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::whispers:: CTO: I need to speak with you...now!
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@ ::Moves away from the food toward the group with Brother John Paul. She looks toward the CTO with a plate of food:: CTO: Would you care for anything?
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  A loud horn echos through the open spaces of the cathedral.  The colonists stop dancing, turning to face a small door behind a pulpit.
Brother_John-Paul says:
@FCO: It was more that we decided to explore ourselves... our religion.  I guess we sort of lost touch with the outside.
SO_Talina says:
CEO:  I do not know sir.  If we do, it was not given to me.
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@ ::Her attention immediately shifts to the door::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Brother: You wished to be pioneers?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::nods to the FCO, and raises an eyebrow in Millicent's direction:: Sister: No thank you. ::offers the CNS his arm, and glances briefly toward the open door::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
SO: Contact sickbay and security, and see if we can come up with a tissue sample.. if you can find something, even a strand of hair, cross-reference it with the biomatter in the acid.
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@ ::Looks toward Brother and begins to walk toward the door::
Brother_John-Paul says:
@::Smiles at the FCO, and walks to meet his Sister::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  five people wearing ornate golden robes with silver lining come to the fore.  As one they turn to look at Brother John-Paul and Sister Mary-Sue.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@::walks him a little out of the way and whispers:: CTO: We need to go.
SO_Talina says:
CEO:  Yes sir...  I believe the doctor saw to Zen earlier.  He should have something.  I will see what I can scrounge up from his staff or report on her.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Keeps a close but safe distance from the Brother and watches the events attempting to covertly record and scan the people and area as much as possible.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::makes an attempt at guiding the CNS in the direction the CO was taken in, but not exactly:: CNS: What we need to do is figure out how these people work. ::offered just low enough for the CNS::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
SO: Very good.. report back to me on your findings.
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::whispers:: CTO: They're cannibals
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::whispers:: CTO: We need to find the Captain
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Moves up to the front with Brother John Paul, a large smile now on her face:: All: Everyone, please, may we have your attention.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::blinks, giving Millicent most of his attention but keeping a look out for some signs of happenings with the captain:: CNS: ::whispers back:: I think we're about to find out a lot more than that. ::motions to the two::
SO_Talina says:
:: With a nod leaves the ready room, heading for sickbay.::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::scratches his head and sighs again before standing up and leaving the ready room::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::turns her attention to the Sister and Brother trying not to look apprehensive::
Brother_John-Paul says:
@::Points to the person on the left::  All: May I present Father Jonathon Robert XXXIII, the Foreman for the Council of Victory
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Smiles and points to the woman next to him:: All: May I present, Mother Winnifred Mary XXXII, the Vice Foreman.
CIV_Drel says:
*CEO*:  Sir, I am sorry for interrupting anything that might be important, but this is rather important and as you are in charge and there is no one else I know who to talk to, after all the tactical won't pay me much heed, as usual, but I really need to talk with you.
Brother_John-Paul says:
@All: Father Thomas Gregory XXXII
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@All: Mother Rebecca Heather XXXI. ::Motions to the woman::
Brother_John-Paul says:
@All: And Father Leonard William XXXI
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::turns to regard the group, sizing up the lot of them... just in case::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Watching everything and everyone very carefully.::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::stops at the door of the ready room:: *CIV*: What is it?
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@::Moves off to the side as everyone around them starts to applaud::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::keeps close to the CTO while she looks around::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Notes the Sister's movement.::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  With much solemness, the five take their places at a large table.  Silence reigns around them.  Father Robert then officially welcomes them to the Banquet in thanks for the return of the T.G. Victory, whom they have long awaited the return of... their mothership.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::raises an eyebrow, and glances toward the CNS:: CNS: I knew your reports suggested there was more to that ship than it looked like. But this...?
CIV_Drel says:
*CEO*:  Well sir... first let me thank you for listening to me.  But that is why you are in charge of course, you must be really good with your job.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Moves toward the back of the crowd gently observing.::
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@All: We must thank the heavens that these wonderful individuals have brought us our mothership, our source of hope. ::He raises a hand:: All: With the Victory's return the time is coming near! The gate will be open soon and we will finally reach our highest point of enlightenment!
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::looks back:: CTO: This is a little beyond what I expected as well
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::tries not to say anything impulsively:: *CIV*: What can I do for you?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Moves to stand near the CTO and CNS.::
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ ::Motions for the Sharikahr crew to come over to the council:: Sharikahr Crew: Will our diligent guests please come up to the front so everyone can see thee?
CIV_Drel says:
*CEO*:  Well.... it was my son. I know he promised to stay out of the Jeffry tubes... and I had been keeping an eye on him and all, but... well... when I called him for dinner... and he never misses dinner you see, never... he did not come.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Whispers.:: CTO/CNS: Thoughts?
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ ::Shifts he gaze toward them, a warm smile on his face::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@::whispers:: CTO: Keep that phaser handy and don't eat the meat
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::catches the FCO's movements out of the corner of his eye:: FCO: ::whispered back as he motions that perhaps they should move it:: My thoughts are we've been had.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@CTO: Where is the Captain?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@FCO: So far as I know she's in there. ::gestures toward the closed door behind which she was taken::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@CTO/CNS: Then we will each approach from a different spot.  ::Begins to move toward the far left and toward the Council.::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::whispers:: FCO: My thoughts concur with the CTO's
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@FCO: I haven't... exactly... had time to determine yet just what 'in there' is.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sighs again.. things just keep building up:: *CIV*: What is your son's name?
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Nods to the CTO and CNS accepting their information.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::nods:: CNS: You can stay with me if it makes you more comfortable. ::moves to approach passing the captain's location, or where he saw her last at least::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::follows the the CTO and FCO::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@::Reaches the front.:: Father: Sir, perhaps it would be best for our Captain to receive this honor.
CIV_Drel says:
:: Frowns, thinking the man should at least now his wonderful sons name.::  *CEO*:  Drel sir... his name is Drel Junior.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
Computer: Locate Drel Junior.
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ ::Once they all finally reach the front:: Crew: Honored guests, we would like to truly thank you for your assistance. We only hope that we can make it up to you with this wonderful celebration. ::Nods:: FCO: Your Captain has chosen to speak to some of our concilworkers, I assure you on her own freewill.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::studies their surroundings, taking into account each individual he can actually see from here, thinking it would be real nice to have a working tricorder::
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ All: The Point of Enlightenment has been scheduled to take place tomorrow evening at the very spot where our guest's shuttlecraft arrived. At this very moment our workers are removing the wreckage and preparing the area.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Father: Really sir, it is not required.  However we would be greatful for your assistance in repairing our shuttle craft.
Host Computer says:
CEO:  Drel Junior is not on the ship.
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::grins ironically and whispers to himself:: Self: Of course not..
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::tenses up just slightly... and glances sidelong toward the FCO::
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ ::Watches as everyone begins to cheer::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::getting a very bad feeling::
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
*CIV*: Drel, I assure you I'll assign a security team to search for your son, but right now I have some other issues to take care of.. thank you for notifying me.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Father: What is this enlightenment?
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ Sharikahr Crew: You will join us for the ceremony tomorrow evening. Until that time we have arranged room and board for you all.
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ FCO: A wonderful question, the enlightenment is the time when all becomes known.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
@::raises an eyebrow, and sets his eyes on their heretofore unknown speaker::
CIV_Drel says:
* CEO*:  But... but... :: Frowns as the connection is broken.::  Well... you want something done, you got to do it yourself.  :: Heads out in search for his son.::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::gets an idea:: Father: Our ship is expecting us back this evening. Do you have a way to contact them so we can inform them of the change in plans
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Father: And what relationship does that have with the T.G. Victory?
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:

@::turns to the FCO, and just shakes his head:: FCO: Commander, if they say we've been spoken for... ::gives her a look indicating he's got a few ideas::
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ FCO: A communication panel has been placed in your room, John Paul may activate it once you have arrived. ::Nods toward Brother::
SO_Telina says:
*CEO*:  I am looking through her files now and the computer is doing a comparison check.  So far though, there appears to be no connection... at least nothing we can see.
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:
@Father: Very well Father,  we accept your hospitality.
Father_Jonathon-Robert says:
@ All: Until tomorrow evening then. ::The Council rises::
FCO_LtCmdr_Haynes says:

SCENERY:  From the main room are doors leading to smaller bedrooms, equally elegant.

@Brother: Yes thank-you.  It is quite Ritzlike.  Now the communications console please.

CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::looks around waiting for their hosts to fulfil their promise::
TO_Ens_Mathews says:
::walks up the corridor with the rest of his team, raising an eyebrow at the CEO:: CEO: Sir?
CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
TO: Release the security lockout on this door.
Sister_Mary-Sue says:
@All: If there is nothing else, I bid thee good night. ::She smiles once more and exits:: FCO: And yes.. your communications console is in the back room there. ::Points to the left corner::
CNS_LtJG_Andrews says:
@ ::goes immediatly to where the sister indicated and trys the console::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The 'console', is no more then an ornate table. As the doors close, a click is heard followed by the familiar tingling of a forcefield near by.

@ ::worriedly:: CO/CMO: Are you all right?
Host NightWind says:
