U.S.S. Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10602.23

Mission # 242

What else could go wrong? The crew of the courageous USS Sharikahr continued their journey toward the Har-Magedd colony where they hoped they would be able to solve the mystery as to why Armageddon was brought about.

As the Norway Class vessel traveled toward their destination, Captain Horn ordered Doctor Cartwright to meet with her in her Ready Room in hopes to discover anything out of the ordinary during his time aboard the Nitro.
:
When the Sharikahr reached their location, scans concluded that there was nothing there, just empty space. No matter what efforts were put into place, any evidence of the planet's existence had disappeared.

Suddenly, a Federation Vessel came on the sensors and was eventually identified as the Nitro. Lieutenant J.G. Falor Rodos appeared on the viewscreen, where the rather skeptical Captain began to ask him a series of questions. According to their latest information, the Nitro had been assimilated by the Borg.

After several minutes, the crystal that was given to contact the Victory began to glow faintly. Before anyone knew it, a strange anomaly began to form where the planet once existed. The Counselor then began to glow as well and was lifted from the deck into the air.

“The time has come for you to accept your fate.” The Counselor stated as she remained in the air. An array of lights surrounded the area and the planet suddenly reappeared! Counselor Rodos fell to the floor, the crystal returning to its normal state.

When Lieutenant So'tosh scanned the area, it was discovered that there was only the planet and Sharikahr, normal space had disappeared. The planet hailed the Norway Class vessel and the face of once Sister Mary Sue appeared.

Empress Mary Sue, as she was now called, informed the Captain that she has found the true meaning for all of this. With this said, the Counselor stepped through the viewscreen and appeared on the planet!

What is the crew to do now? What does Mary Sue mean by they have found the true meaning of all of this?

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::sitting at the OPS console::

TO_Brian says:
::at the TAC 2, keeping busy::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::steps out of the Ready Room:: All: Anything final before we head to the planet?

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@Millicent: Are you ready my child?

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::at the primary tactical station, watching the long range displays::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::stands up:: CO: Captain, may I have a word with you?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::awaiting the event to be all events::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::turns toward Rodos::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::standing in full tactical gear, waiting for the word to move out:: CO: Ensign Mills and a security team are waiting in the transporter room, Captain.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: Of course, Lieutenant.

Host Millicent says:
@::looks a bit worried:: Empress: Yes. What do I have to do?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::heads in the direction of the ready room::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::steps just inside her office and waits for the AXO to enter::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::enters the ready room and waits for the doors to close before speaking::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::moves over to join the CTO::

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@Millicent: You will face the most important test of your life. A test that will give us greatness and control over what is rightfully ours.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::once the doors are closed:: CO: Captain... I think I should be on the away team.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives the CSO a very slight nod as she approaches, before looking back to the officers manning the tactical station::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: Why? ::crosses her arms::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::looks curiously at Arinoch::  CTO:  Did you have a plan in mind for this... operation?

Host Millicent says:
@::clenches the crystal around her neck and nods slowly:: Empress: I understand.

TO_Brian says:
::does routine scans::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: Worst case, stun the lot and mass beam out, sort the rest out on this end of it. Other than that? Depends on whether or not I can find a power source or 3.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@Guard: Take Millicent to the chambers and have her prepared. I want her in the ceremonial hall in ten minutes time. ::watches the guard leave with Millicent::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Was there not a reason you did not do something like that before?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: We were unconscious.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Lieutenant, may I point out the success rate for this mission is less than one percent.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::nods::  CTO: So weapons will work, just not the transporter.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::pauses for a second, not having thought about that.. then has an idea:: CO: This is a dangerous away mission... I should at least suggest that I go, and you stay to command the ship.

Host Millicent says:
@::is taken into a large chamber room where many Victorians begin to dress her in ceremonial apparel::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Computer, what variables have you taken into account that leads you to your conclusion?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::centers his gaze on Brian:: TO: Get me a planetary sweep. If there's a power source going on, I wanna be able to hit it with a rock from where I'm standing.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: Lieutenant.  I am going for 3 reasons.  First, I have already been there so I am familiar with the terrain.  Second, if we lose the comm signal, it may be necessary for us to be located only through telepathic connection.  Third, you are too emotional to be able to handle this one.

Host Computer says:
CSO: This universe has been created by someone on the planet below. All variables are in favor of such a planet that posses immense power to do something that logically could not occur.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Can you determine a power source?

TO_Brian says:
::nods:: CTO: Yes, sir! Working on it now, sir! ::begins running the different sweeps::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: You didn't program that thing with an off switch, did you, Lieutenant?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CO: But Captain... ::sighs, knowing she's right, and nods:: Very well. Please.. get my wife back.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::puts her hand on Falor's shoulder:: AXO: I know that is your wife and daughter down there.  I can't guarantee that we will be able to save her.  You should not have to live with the choice of the universe or her if it comes to that.

Host Computer says:
CTO: You are a very displeasing man, Lieutenant. Perhaps a trip to the Holodeck would cheer you up?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::can hear the strain of voices behind the RR doors::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::lifts a brow at Arinoch::  CTO:  Why would I wish the computer off?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: But, Falor, I do promise you, we will do everything we can to bring her back as the woman you loved.  Okay?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CSO: Not the computer, just the conversation.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you. Be careful down there, Captain.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  You need only not address the computer or request it to not speak with you.  It will follow that order.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: We will. ::steps back onto the bridge::

TO_Brian says:
::frowns and looks over to the CTO:: CTO: Sir, the sweeps detected nothing.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
ALL: Everyone ready?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::follows the CO back on to the bridge and walks over to the command chair, taking a seat::

Host Millicent says:
@::exits the chamber room and moves down the hall with several guards, her eyes glowing in a bright shade of pink::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods:: TO: I figured, but it was worth a shot. Even if it was blindfolded.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir, please stay in contact with me mentally.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Ready as I'm ever gonna be, Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CIV: Lieutenant, how many back-up plans do you have ready to get our people out in a hurry?

Host Computer says:
CSO: Negative, Lieutenant. Unknown as to why.

TO_Brian says:
::wonders if he is supposed to reply to that::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::nods toward the Captain, continuing her conversation with the computer::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Is something blocking the sensors?  Also, inquiry... why do you believe that someone from the planet has created all of this?

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: I have several in fact.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: I'll do my best. ::steps into the turbolift and waits for the rest of the Away Team::

Host Computer says:
CSO: It is highly improbable that an event of this magnitude would occur naturally in the universe. Sensors cannot determine any power source. Reason still unknown.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives the AXO a look, not sure if he even saw it, before following less than 5 paces behind Sarah::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CIV: Good glad to hear it, in fact the correct answer to that question is however many it takes. ::smiles a small smile and then returns to a very serious POed face::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer:  Could we have simply been pulled into a null dimension?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::turns to look at the turbolift and the away team in it:: AT: Good luck.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Probability is 1 in 1,000,000,000,000.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
AXO: See you soon, Lieutenant.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: Sir, I have more than just a few.  I will do what is required of me to get the away team from the surface and us out of here in one piece.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
Computer: Transporter Room 1.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: And if it were a pocket within an null dimension?

Host Millicent says:
@::continues to walk:: ~~~AXO: I'm sorry Falor, but I have to do this.~~~ ::her eyes are focused straight ahead of her::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::hears his wife's voice as his emotions rush up.. but he forces himself to contain them::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::smirks:: CSO: If I might make a suggestion, Lieutenant... assuming we survive this, and either everyone else does or I don't, give that thing... ::meaning the computer:: ...a dose of optimism, would you? No one likes a pessimistic ship.

Host Computer says:
CO: Of course. ::moves the Turbo Lift:: CSO: If we were in a pocket of a null dimension no other object would exist but the Sharikahr.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::frowns in thought::  CTO:  I am not sure I can do that.  It is something it will need to learn.  Perhaps you might teach it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CIV: Very good Lieutenant,  Just making sure we are ALL on the same page.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Looks to the AXO/CEO.::

Host Millicent says:
@~~~AXO: The away team will fail, Falor. Please stop this and just leave.~~~

TO_Brian says:
::runs scans again::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer:  Not if the pocket were large enough to include the planet.  And there could be more then one pocket, a pocket within a pocket.

ACTION: A wormhole forms near the Sharikahr rather suddenly.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::exits the lift and heads to the transporter room::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::thought he already did that with the shuttle mission, but just shrugs::

TO_Brian says:
AXO: Sir, a wormhole just formed near the Sharikahr!

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: Hello, what do we have here?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::rolls the ship away from the "wormhole" that just appeared::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::follows right behind Sarah, and gives his security team a nod... they fall in behind the 3 bridge officers::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
TO: Any idea what's on the other side?

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::runs a straight scan of the wormhole::

Host Millicent says:
@~~~AXO: Take the Sharikahr through it, Falor. You will save the crew that way.~~~ ::reaches the ceremonial hall where the Victorians are waiting, they begin to chant::

TO_Brian says:
AXO: No. ::doesn't have much knowledge in the way of wormholes, and wonders if he made an implication that he did::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Weapons out and ready.  Expect resistance the moment we materialize. ::enters the room and heads to the transporter pad::

Host Computer says:
CSO: That is possible, however highly improbable.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::shakes his head:: Self: I won't do it!

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::drawing his phaser, and the other 10 gold-uniformed men and women do the same:: CO: I assume heavy stun is authorized?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::stepping onto the pad, pulling out her weapon::  Computer:  Never leave out the possible... it might come back and bite you.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::wants to go through the wormhole thinking and hoping that it might be just the ticket to end this madness but resists::

Host Millicent says:
@::tears form in her eyes:: ~~~AXO: Falor, do it for me! Do it for Victory!~~~ ::moves toward the front of the hall::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: For now.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Understood.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: All I need.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::speaks loud enough for the rest of the bridge crew to hear:: Self: NO!

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::takes a stance to the ready::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::looks at the AXO with a concerned look::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::turns toward the AXO:: AXO: Falor!  What won't you do?

TO_Brian says:
::looks at the AXO:: Self: What in the...

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir, are you alright?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::relinquishes her console to Speeda::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::realizes he was speaking out loud, his hands shaking a bit:: FCO: Millicent is communicating with me by telepathy... ::shakes his head::

Host Millicent says:
@~~~AXO: Then you truly aren't the man I thought you were.~~~ ::she places her arms up as chains are placed around them::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
TR Chief: Transport.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::goes toward Falor to attempt to soothe him::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
AXO: Is it really her or what they have made her?

ACTION: The Away Team materializes on the planet in front of the main cathedral in the colony.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
FCO: It's not her.. I know its not her.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@CSO: Scans...where's the Counselor?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CIV: What are sensors telling us about the wormhole? Can we scan the other side?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::her eyes swiftly scan the area at the same time she runs her tricorder::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::gives his team a look, and they fan out in a defensive pattern::

Host Millicent says:
@~~~AXO: Goodbye.~~~

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
AXO: What is she telling you to do?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
FCO: She's telling me to take the Sharikahr through the wormhole and save us all.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::looks at the Cathedral and gives serious thought to walking in and just stunning whatever is moving::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@CO:  I am unable to read what is inside the cathedral.  I can tell you I am not picking up any life forms in the surrounding area.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::looks at he AXO again and knows something is wrong:

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@ALL: It is time for the ceremony to begin! To give us all new life and bring us to our proper place in the universe!

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
TO: See if you can find a way to zero in on this telepathic link.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::taps the panel on the command chair:: FCO: The Away Team is on the surface... I'm not leaving them all behind.

TO_Brian says:
::does a scan of the wormhole, and tries to get the computer to simplify it::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
AXO: Keep her talking Falor, Keep her talking.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: Can he be sure that it is his wife and not something else?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::pulls out his tricorder, and analyzes the composition of the door::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::nods to the Cathedral:: All: Let's go. ::heads up the steps to the entrance::

TO_Brian says:
FCO: Aye, sir. ::wonders how he would do that; tries to get the computer to help with it::

ACTION: As the CO walks up to the Cathedral she is thrown back by some strange energy force.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
~~~CNS: I won't leave you. You know I wouldn't and I know you wouldn't ask me to.~~~

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::slightly behind the Captain, catches her::  CO:  Captain?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@All: It's a field.  Find the power source.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: I did a computer scan of the wormhole and it doesn't show where it ends.

TO_Brian says:
AXO/FCO: By the way, wormhole doesn't have a defined exit as far as I can see.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::runs a scan for power signatures of any kind, other than their own gear::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CIV/TO: Thank you... now that the Captain is on the surface with the Away Team, I'm not risking taking us through it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::nods acknowledgement of what the CIV and TO reported::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@ :walks off to the side, one of the tactical team following her as she scans the area::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::gets as close as she can to the field before she sets it off::

TO_Brian says:
::nods:: AXO: I certainly hope not.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
All: For all we know, it could take us back to that war-ridden universe.

ACTION: The Away Team can hear a slight voice in their minds. However, they are unable to determine who it is from.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
AXO: Come on Falor, concentrate on Millie, keep her talking any way you can.  It might be our only way.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives a look to another, who takes up a position just behind and to the left of the CO::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Can you be sure it was Millie and not what is controlling her?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@~~~CNS: Millicent, can you hear me?~~~

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CIV: No.. I can't. I just know its her voice, but for all I know, its them talking through her.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: That would be one possibility.  Using her as a vessel instead.

Host VIctory says:
@~~~CO: She has been blocked from your mind, Captain Horn. The time has come for you to fulfill your destiny.~~~

TO_Brian says:
::finally figures out how to do the scan, and runs it::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::thinks about this::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::returning to the group she does a comparison of readings::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::tries to focus on the voice to see if it's Millie's or Mary-Sue's by chance::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::nods:: CIV: They know I would be more susceptible to listen to her, so its likely they're using her to get to me, to get rid of us.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: In that case you would have to appeal to her motherly side the real Millie.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@CO: The energy of the forcefield is similar to that of the crystal the Counselor was carrying.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CIV: I'll try.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Let me know if it works.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
TO: Once you have a fix on the neural energy pin point it to its supply point on the surface and minus out the away team's signatures keeping the Counselor's in the mix and flagged.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::gets an idea:: CO: Captain, I have an idea... but I'll need you to stand back.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::thinks, hoping Millicent can hear it:: ~~~CNS: You know how much I love you and Victory... you know how much it would hurt me to leave you, I'd be just like my father. I need to be here for you and Victory, through good times and bad.. just like we vowed to do.~~~

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@~~~Victory: My true destiny is in my universe.  Not what the people here falsely believe.  Let my Counselor go.~~~

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::is having difficulty on keeping a mental lock on the Captain and the away team::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::turns to Speeda to get a status check::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::hearing the CTO, stands back, at the same time working through the energy frequency of the crystal, with the possibility of setting up an inverse vibration::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::steps away from the Cathedral::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@All: Get clear to a secured place.

Host Victory says:
@~~~CO: Your destiny is to stop this horrible act.~~~ ::appears in front of the Away Team:: ALL: We must hurry, we do not have much time.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@CTO: Mr. Arinoch, concentrate all fire on the field in front of that door.  See if you can overload it.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::thinks of something::

TO_Brian says:
::frowning, still looking at his console:: FCO: Well, I just figured it out, and I'm working it out. Give me a moment... ::a confused look crosses his face::

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@~~~AXO: She cannot hear you any longer my child. The time has come.~~~

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: What terrible act?  You believe what they are doing to the Counselor and her child is wrong?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::looks up at the appearance of a stranger::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::sets his phaser to maximum, gives his team a look and they do the same, and they all fire... at the field, and the surrounding wall::

ACTION: Lieutenant Rodos falls to the floor in an immense amount of pain throughout his entire body.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::steps to the corner of a nearby building::

TO_Brian says:
Outloud: Well, now..

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::his muscles tighten up as much as possible as he grunts in pain, falling to the floor::

TO_Brian says:
FCO: Er, Sir, scans don't even show communication occurring.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@CTO: If you alter your frequency, you will have a better chance.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::kneels down to the AXO:: AXO: Falor!

Host Victory says:
@CSO: Hello Lieutenant So'tosh. ::smiles as she looks toward the CO:: CO: Captain, we can stop this, together.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::nods:: Security Team: Rotate frequencies. ::does as he orders, as does his team::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@Victory: Greetings... and you are?

Host Victory says:
@::smiles toward the CTO as well:: CTO: Those will have little effect on the Cathedral.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::calls for a medical team::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::frustrated::  CIV: Get me the CO.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::screams in pain as his arms begin to tremble under immense stress::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Sir, the AXO is in some kind of terrible pain and stress.  Could there be a relationship to what is happening on the planet?~~~

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::motions his team to a stop, and raises an eyebrow, but lets the Captain do the talking... for now::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::focuses on Victory for a moment to make certain she isn't a trick::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: What do you suggest?

MO_Sizure says:
::arrives on the bridge and begins to scan the AXO::  FCO: What happened?

TO_Ens_Mills says:
@::trains his phaser on Victory, just in case, as does his team::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@~~~CIV: I am unable to answer that right now.  There isn't enough information down here yet, but it wouldn't surprise me.~~~

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Sizure: I don't know, he was communicating telepathically with the Counselor and then he just dropped screaming in pain.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::his eyes shut tight, his mouth gaping open, screaming and grunting in extreme pain, he moves around on the floor trying to find some way to make it stop::

Host Victory says:
@CO: I know this is strange, Captain, but the crystal was given to you in hopes that you would keep it out of enemy hands. ::sighs:: CO: This whole process can be reversed, but I will need five of your crew members here, the original officers who the relics were used on.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@CTO: Cease fire.  Find another way in.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: The Captain has been notified and is aware of the situation.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: Not all of those officers are here...

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::listens intently on many levels::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::trying to hold the intense pain she feels from Falor and is losing the battle::

Host Victory says:
@CO: Then you must bring them here. The crystal is the key to using the relics. If the crystal and relics are activated at the same time, the prophecy will fulfill itself and all will return as it once was. ::pauses, knowing much of this doesn't make sense:: CO: Please, trust me.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::doesn't trust Victory as far as he can throw her, and scans as much of the complex as he can for another entry::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: Sir, I don't know how long I can keep my self in control his pain is intensifying and he is seizing and so am I.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@*FCO*: Horn to Sharikahr, do you read. ::realizes this may be the only chance::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::manages to get a word out:: All: HELP! ::continues his agonizing scream::

MO_Sizure says:
::gives the AXO something in a hypo to calm him down::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::puts hands to her head and groans::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Sizure: Help the man!

ACTION: The AXO's pain suddenly goes away, but his head is still pounding.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
*CO*: We are reading sir, go ahead.

MO_Sizure says:
<Sizure> FCO: There isn't anything wrong with him. ::shows her the tricorder:: I have given him something to make him calm down.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: Sir, the Captain is hailing you.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::his muscles finally loosen as his body goes limp on the floor and he slowly opens his eyes and looks at the FCO:: FCO: ... Amber?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Captain, Commander Cartwright here.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@*Sharikahr*: I want Commander and Lieutenant Cartwright down here immediately.  Transport them from where ever they are on the ship.  There isn't time to explain.  Horn out.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@CO: Looks like so far, our only option is her. ::gives Victory a withering look::

ACTION: The sky around the planet changes into a deep violet and the clouds begin to glow in an amazing golden color.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: You should have been honest with us about that crystal.  It would have changed many things.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::hears the Captain and her jaw drops:: *CO*: Captain?!

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::squints his eyes as his head throbs in pain:: Self: My head...

Host Victory says:
@CO: I couldn't, you were not prepared. ::closes her eyes and then looks up at the sky:: CO: We must hurry! When the sky begins to swirl their spell will almost be complete!

TO_Ens_Mills says:
@::keeps his phaser trained on... whoever she is, as does the rest of his team::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::releases her head thankfully as it is now not as intense as it was before and now can control the pain and other things as well::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@*FCO*: Now Commander!  Unless you want Millicent to die and the universe to end.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::hears the Captain's orders:: CIV: Transport Commander and Doctor Cartwright.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
FCO: It is best you go, sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::stands::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::quietly:: Victory: What role would you have me play in this?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: So you risked the chance of us being killed by all of the enemies that these people released.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
AXO: If we are not back in 30 minutes blow that planet up.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::manages to stand:: FCO: Good luck, Commander.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::holds herself ready to fight upon materialization on the surface knowing her husband is going to be furious::

Host Victory says:
@CO: I cannot explain. ::drops her head:: CO: You don't understand, I could not reveal my true identity or else I would risk something even greater. ::shakes her head:: CO: I have the relics, but we will need my mot...Millicent.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::notices the slip Victory made:: *Sharikahr*: Where are the Cartwrights?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::nods as one piece of the puzzle falls into place::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
*CO*: On their way, Captain.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CIV: Transport them, now.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::just blinks. That long, slow, 'what the devil was that' blink::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Transporting now, sir.

Host Victory says:
@~~~CSO: You will be needed to replace Millicent... for she now possesses the crystal.~~~

ACTION: The Cartwrights are transported to the colony.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::lifts a brow, but says nothing::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::looks up as the CMO and FCO materialize::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sits back down in the command chair, holding his head in pain::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: Okay, what's next?

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir, I suggest medical stand by in the event of injury to the Away team and others are injured.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::arrives in an area not far from the CO and notices her husband very puzzled and looking about to get very mad:: CMO: Come on Logan, I'll explain later.  This is Captain's orders.  ::takes him by the hand and makes their way to the CO::

Host Victory says:
@CO: We must get Millicent, we can summon her. ::she takes out the five relics and hands them to each of the Away Team. One for the CO, CTO, FCO, CMO, and CSO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@CO: Reporting as ordered Captain. ::looking at Victory:: Who's your friend?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::makes a mental note to have these suckers destroyed at the first opportunity... this has been one mission from hell::

ACTION: The golden clouds in the sky begin to swirl, causing the sky to change into a silver color.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@FCO: This is Victory, as in our friend from the ship.  Just do as she asks so we can save Millicent's life. ::takes the relic::

Host Victory says:
@ALL: We must act now! ::looks frightened at the sky::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@Victory: What do we do?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::takes the relic curiously, noting that while the details were similar from what she had replicated, they were not the same and definitely not the material::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::mutters:: Well, if we had a clue... we could have acted earlier...

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::looking at the relic and recognizes it:: Victory/CO: Oh, I sure hope you are right cause the last time I saw these well... ::shuts up::

Host Victory says:
@ALL: The relics powers are activated by the chosen ones, which I chose the entire Sharikahr crew to be when I sent the crystal aboard your ship. Each relic posses a certain quality, if you all focus hard enough on seeing Millicent, she will appear before you all. But... you must believe that you can do this.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::taps his combadge:: *Sickbay*: Prepare for possible casualties.. we've got an away team on the planet, they may need to be transported back on a moment's notice.

Host Millicent says:
@~~~AXO: Goodbye, love.~~~ ::her voice then leaves his mind::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@ALL: Do it, Millie is a part of our family.  We can do this. ::closes her eyes and visualizes Millie::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::his security team tenses ever so slightly, ready to start shooting at a fraction of a seconds notice::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@ ::with all she had seen, the request was not that hard. She focuses on the counselor::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::aloud again:: Self: NO!

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::sees a picture of Millicent at the wedding in her mind remembering the good times.::

TO_Brian says:
::wonders if the AXO needs to be removed to the Sickbay::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::remembers the Counselor in sickbay worried about the inhibitor::

@ACTION: Millicent appears near the center of the group, her body limp, with energy surrounding her body.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::realizes how insane he seems as he sees the bridge crews reaction::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
~~~Millicent: Please listen to me.  Remember your wedding with Falor how happy you two were and about the fact you were with child?~~~

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::turns to toward the energy reading::

TO_Brian says:
AXO: Sir, are you okay?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::visualises Millicent during his psychological evaluation::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::dees Millie appear:: CNS: Millie?

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
TO: I'm fine... I'm just... not quite used to this telepathy stuff.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::opens her eyes and sees Millie just in front of her::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::raises an eyebrow at the FCO's address, and looks over at the Counselor::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Sir, I am trying to reach her.

Host Victory says:
@ALL: Think about the time before this all happened, before your stepped onto this planet. Focus on all of this... and erase it from your minds.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::shakes his head:: CIV: I don't think you will, Lieutenant... she's left my mind.

TO_Brian says:
::eyes the AXO curiously::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Augusfratt!

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::given what she had done before this incident, that was not the wisest of choices for her::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::thinks back to when Logan proposed to her with the CEO and CNS in the Hawaiian Holodeck beach dinner::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@Self: With a little too much pleasure. ::visualises himself on the starbase, before their last shore leave ended::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::feels a void in his... soul? as if Millicent is dead::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::picks instead a familiar scene from the past of her family, one that had been done many times and would again.::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::remembers the night Keely resigned::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
AXO: Don't lose faith yet.  Remember never lose the faith of what she is capable of.

ACTION: The crew holding the relics begins to rise into the air, their relics glowing intensely.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::can't help but smile inwardly at the hockey game::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::in a small voice:: CIV: You have the bridge, Lieutenant... I'll be in the ready room.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::looks in shock::  AXO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::feels herself levitate::

TO_Brian says:
::his idea that the AXO should be moved to sickbay is strengthened::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::is momentarily surprised as his feet leave the ground::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::gets out of the command chair and slowly enters the ready room, sitting down on the sofa and holding his head in his hands::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
@::feels herself leave the ground:: All: Focus!  Don't stop!  ::concentrates harder on old memories::

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::hands over the OPS console to a young Ensign and takes the center seat::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
@::focused, she does not let anything intrude with the memory::

TO_Brian says:
::realizes it's been suspiciously quiet for those aboard the Sharikahr::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
@::remembers the dinner she and Logan had with Captain Cephas::

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
Self: Millicent.. you can't be gone. You can't be.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
TO: Maintain your scans and make sure you have a lock on the Away team please.

AXO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::realizes something:: Self: This is all my fault.. I never believed in the Prophets, and this is their punishment for disbelieving...

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
~~~AXO: You can keep her alive if you try hard enough don't let go of her in your memory.~~~

ACTION: Each relic sends a stream of energy toward the crystal, which explodes with energy. Memories of the past several days begin to fill their minds and then reverse themselves. Before they can do anything... everything goes black.

CIV_LtJG_B_Rochelle says:
::feels head and then blackness::

ACTION: The crew awakens in a strange looking room, where wires and monitors are attached all around their bodies. They can see the Victorians standing there, with large smiles on their faces.
