USS Sharikahr NCC-81204 - Stardate 10702.22

Is there ever a day of peace and quiet for the valiant crew of the USS Sharikahr? It seems that whenever a mission seems to become too “simple”, events take a turn for the worse! Is it because the crew of the Sharikahr is destined for greater things? Is it because the Sharikahr is cursed? Unfortunately, the answer to these questions will never be answered.

After having been without a Commanding Officer for quite some time, Starfleet Command had finally decided to push for the assignment of one officer. Captain Amelia Adrel had been granted this assignment, a most unexpected assignment to herself and to the crew. However, it was a necessary step in the natural evolution of the ship.  Upon the arrival of the Captain, Commander Rodos Falor had ordered the Senior Staff to assemble to the Briefing Room. Prior to this order, Lieutenant So’tsoh’s son Sha found his way onto the Bridge. The Chief Science Officer questioned his presence quickly, and the young child of only nine years old divulged his most unusual discovery.  It seemed that a group of voodoo dolls were placed within the Chief Science Officer’s Quarters. Sha decided it would be important to show his surrogate mother these nearly exact replicas of the Senior Staff. Commander Rodos did not seem fully interested in these dolls, so Lieutenant So’tsoh brought them into the Briefing Room with her.

Once the Captain arrived, the crew was intent on starting their meeting. However, before they could begin, one of the dolls that looked like the Captain herself came to life. The doll began to speak to the crew, which seemed to shock the rest of the staff a great deal.  Before Captain Adrel, Lieutenant So’tsoh, Lieutenant Cartwright, and Commander Stidd knew it, they were transformed into the size of dolls themselves! The doll called the Captain a “meanie” but seemed to have formed some sort of like to the Chief Science Officer. However, before the crew could get anywhere with the doll, she disappeared.

A familiar voice filled the empty Bridge of the Sharikahr, stating that Starfleet had not changed. This voice was easily identified by those members of the crew who had faced the Red Allegiance once before. It was the voice of Elizabeth Murphy. The only question now was… how is she still alive?

<<<<<<<<<< Resume >>>>>>>>>>

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::tiny voice:: CSO/CEO: Any suggestions?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: On the bridge heading towards the CO:: CO: Ma'am, I have some information you need to know.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Info? What is it?

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looks from the new captain to the CEO::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::leaning against the door in the counseling office:: *Bridge*: Is anyone there?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: Our size has rendered our comm badges useless.  The internal antenna array is now too small to get a strong enough signal to the ships internal comm links.

ACTION: Elizabeth Murphy appears before the smaller version of the senior staff.  She is laughing her head off... almost literally as she floats in mid-air.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::waits for a response::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: We will need to find the rest of the crew... maybe some of them are still big. Even if we don't have comm badges, we should be able to find another way to communicate.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO/CSO: What is that?

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::points at Murphy::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::decides to do this the easy way::~~~CSO: What's going on? Is the new CO here yet?~~~

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Turns and looks where the CO is pointing::

CSO So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: Yes she has, and not alone.  At the moment we could use your help.  We are about a tenth of our size.  However, should you come, prepare for Murphy, for she is on the bridge having a laughing fit.~~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: Who are you? ::not even sure the thing can respond or understand::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Observes the demeanor of the individual while saying nothing::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~::the CSO can feel angry taking hold:: CSO: I and a phaser will be there ASAP

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CO: Me?  I am everything and at the moment, you are nothing... well, at least very little of nothing... :: Pinches her fingers.::

CSO So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: Be careful, all is not as it seems.~~~~

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::runs to a TL:: TL: Weapons Locker  ~~~CSO: I will be.~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: What do you want from us?

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
:: Looks around the room::  CSO:  I remember this room... :: Turns a glare towards the science officer.:: And you.  :: Leans forward::  I do hope you are not too attached to it.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::turns to the others to see if they know Murphy::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Shrugs her shoulders::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
All: Now... were are the other two.  This party would not be complete without them.  It is bad enough this pitiful crew has changed.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Murphy: I have never seen you before, so what is the logic in wishing me harm.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::arrives at the weapons, inputs her code and gets out a phaser::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: Who is she?

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CEO: I don't have to have a reason.  You are apart of this crew... this crew that left me abandoned in a shuttle for three miserable weeks.  Left me to die!

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::runs to the nearest Jeffries tube and climbs in, going toward the Bridge:: ~~~CSO: I'm in the tubes going toward the Bridge. Are in on the main Bridge or in the ready room?~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: Revenge is not the answer. I'm sure we can come to an understanding. ::turns to the CSO waiting for info since she seems to know Murphy::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Murphy: Your statement is illogical.  Harming us will not offer any peace to your mind or soul.

CSO So`tsoh says:
CO: She is... or was part of the Red Allegiance.  She infiltrated our ship as an officer.

CSO So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: Main bridge.  And she is not... happy.  Or too happy depending on how you look at it.~~~~

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: I will come in through the Ready Room. Keep her distracted.~~~

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CO: On the contrary... I would not quite call it revenge.  After all, there was this very nice Q who came to visit me in my... distress.  And he so wanted to be human.  But to do that, well, he needed to hand over his powers.  ::Smiles::  I thought I should share with you my new found talents.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: A Q... so you are now a Q... and if you don't want revenge, what do you want? ::starts to become tired of this game::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Murphy: Besides, If I remember the reports on that, were you not about ready to cause a ...::Pauses as he hears the name Q and wishes he could contact Tomure for help::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CEO: I seek nothing for me peace of mind or soul.  I have all I need.  And now... now I have you.  Well :: shrugs nonchalantly:: I have most of you.

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CO: By the way, welcome aboard.  It was so nice of you to join in my... treat.  That is all I want... :: Turns to stare at the ready room door, hate blazing from her eyes.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Wonders:: Murphy: But even the Q have to answer to the Guardians.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Murphy: And what is your treat? ::nods after hearing the CEO's comment::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CEO: Perhaps little man... but not... just... yet...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Braces for the impact of whatever is to come his way for that comment::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::quietly opens the hatch and brings the phaser to bear as she tip toes toward the Ready Room doors::

Host Elizabeth Murphy says:
CO:  Ahhh... you shall see very soon.  I do not want to keep you waiting too long you know... :: Smiles with hate in her eyes.  Then claps her hands as the doors open::  Welcome counselor...

ACTION:  The four officers feel themselves being torn apart as darkness descends on them.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::collapses, screaming::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Ahhhhhhhh.........

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Fights the urge to yell as every nerve in his body burns::

ACTION: Slowly the crew come awake to their surrounding, but it is hard to see as the sun is just rising in the sky.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::hands immediately fly to stomach upon awakening::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::blinks and slowly puts a hand before her eyes as she is blinded by the sun::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Slowly opens her eyes, screams echoing in her mind.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Kicks and is instantly standing, the second eyelid having protected his eyes from the initial shock he looks around::

Scenery: There is a harshness to the landscape being revealed.  There seems to be no obvious life of any sort around.  The air is dry, slowly sapping the water from their bodies.  The initial temperature suggests that the day will be extreme, even for the Vulcans.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
All: None of you managed to get transported with a tricorder, did you?

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::slowly getting up, coughs a few times and looks around to see if her crew is there::

CSO So`tsoh says:
CO: I regret the only thing I entered the room with was the doll.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: It was not your fault. I think it was meant to happen. I'm sure that thing would have found a way to torture us no matter.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO/CNS: Who is that? ::points at the CNS::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looks the counselor over with some concern in her eyes.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: I suggest we find some form of shade as well as water soon or what we have wont matter.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Hello Captain. I'm your CNS and 2nd Officer Millicent Rodos

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Hello... not the best of ways to meet though.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Agreed.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: First, lets find shade and water and then we will try to make sense of it all.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looking around while the introductions are going, then steps over to the engineer.::  CEO: I believe I see some sort of cave over that way...

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: I might as well inform you Captain, I am pregnant as well.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Looks where the CSO is pointing::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Congratulations. ::as she overhears the CSO and CEO::

CSO So`tsoh says:
CEO: Given our relative size, it will be a rather long walk, but I am concerned about the others.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: Well, that's the best guess we have right now since we are stuck with no tricorders, etc.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CSO: Agreed.  You take the point and I will take the rear with the other Vulcans scattered throughout to assist any that start having troubles.

Host NightWind says:
Scenery: As the sun slowly rises, the lines of shadow and light are stark from the rocks in the barren area.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::licks her lips as the dry air starts to leech moisture::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns to the captain::  CO: Captain, we need to get you and the other non-Vulcans out of this harsh sun before it gets too high.  Water as it is could become a serious issue.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CSO: Agreed.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
ALL: I have an idea about the water.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Everyone. Let's regroup and start walking with the CSO in lead since she saw the location.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Yes?

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: With a nod turns and begins the trek toward what she believes is a cave and sincerely hopes it is a living cave and not a dry one.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: We might keep an eye out for cactus type plants. They store water inside

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Glances up at the sun and notes its trek to get an idea of how much time they have till high noon.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CO: Indeed... sadly, I think we may not be that lucky ::as she looks around and starts walking::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::starts walking::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: As they make their way, she finds a relatively easy path for the group to make through the boulders.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Follows up behind watching and waiting for whatever this Murphy has next in store for them::

ACTION: Two hours pass of traveling time.  The brisk walk is nothing to the Vulcans, but it is quickly taking its toll on the others.  The group makes its way to the base of a mountain where the shadow seen earlier resolves itself into a cave.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::arrives at the cliff, panting and sweating::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::passes her hand on her forehead trying to remove a bit of sweat::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Looks at the entrance, feeling its darkness drawing her toward the cooler temperature it offers.  Turns to look at the captain questioningly::

ACTION: Lightening suddenly arcs through the air creating static electricity throughout, but not offering any hint of water.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::takes deep breaths:: CSO: We have shadow and a cooler temperature.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: Let's go in. Stay in groups and stay close to the entrance.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Arrives at the end:: All: Heat lightening.  A sign it is going to get hotter still.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and moves forward cautiously, though she would rather explore it first, their options are not exactly many.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::follows the others inside::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::enters the cavern::

ACTION: As the move into the cave, a deep darkness descends upon them.  Beyond the entrance, they can see nothing; only feel the drop in air temperature.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Moves up near the CO:: CO: Request that myself and the CSO explore deeper to see if we can find some sort of water table here.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Granted but stay close as we have no means of light and of defense.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: We will stop here and not venture any further for now. The CEO and CSO will go take a little and fast walk to see if they can find water.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: As they move further in, she notes that under normal conditions, what appeared to be a large cave would have been too small for their numbers.  Now, there was something to be said for their current size.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: Agreed.  CSO: Your with me.

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and moves closer to him.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: How are you holding up?

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CSO: Did you ever play Vek'noh on Vulcan?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::sits down obviously heavily exhausted:: CO: I'm fine

CSO So`tsoh says:
CEO: I was not raised on Vulcan.  I did not make it my home until after I was accepted into the academy.  From there, I lived with my uncles and three cousins.

ACTION: As the others watch the two move slowly further inside a small violet light slowly begins to grow larger.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: The Vulcans seemed to find it to be a walk in the part. I for one will surely have sweat embedded in this uniform for weeks!

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CSO: I see.  That game would help us now.  Open your mind and your hearing to its keenest.  You will hear your enemy before you see them.

CSO So`tsoh says:
CEO: I know that training well... I am usually often in that state.  :: Stops and watches the light slowly growing.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::laughs:: CO: And rock in my boots. My feet feel like they've been through a meat grinder.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Which is certainly not helping with the pregnancy.

ACTION: The violet light slowly evolves into a humanoid with beautiful violet colored wings and hair.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Watches the light transform into a woman::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::looks past the CO at the strange sight::

CSO So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly::  CEO: It would appear we are not alone...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: In Vulcan:: I agree.  I do not trust her though, knowing we are dealing with a Q.

Host Blu says:
:: Looks down at the two who have moved from the group:: CEO/CSO: Greetings.  I am Blu, Princess of the Fairy Guild.

ACTION: From behind the female come several white lights that resolve into beings with armor and wings and very sharp looking weapons in their hands, their look is rather menacing as they stare at the crew and their uniforms.
