Host CO_Loran says:
@::Stands in the corridor of the alien ship::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Approaching the junction of the corridor with the XO close behind her::

XO_Madson says:
@::Making his way down the corridor::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Goes over console, reading symbols::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Holds her hand up to signal the XO to stop in his tracks.  Moves to the junction and peers to the right then to the left::

XO_Madson says:
@::Pauses::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Still checking over control panel:: CEO: Chief maybe this one is environment control.  Points to a button that has lines like “Wind” on it::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Sees the corridors are clear and motions the XO to take the junction to the right as she moves to the left::

CMO_Madson says:
MO: Make sure Bentz is under and prep him for arm reattachment.

XO_Madson says:
@::Moves up to the junction and readies his weapon::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Looks over to it:: CNS: Maybe?  Want to test it?

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Taps his COM badge:: COM: Titan: Computer: Are you able to scan the interior of this alien ship?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Nods to the XO then proceeds slowly and cautiously down the corridor to the left::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: I’d check out the other one first.

Host Titan_Computer says:
COM: CO: Negative.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: I guess that would be the best to do.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: So go ahead and try it.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Computer: What is the status of the ship?

CMO_Madson says:
::Works carefully to reattach Bentz’s arm properly::

Host Titan_Computer says:
COM: CO: Please specify which ship.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: I don't want to be the one to try it.  I don't want to be the one to kill the crew.  You do it.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Computer: Both ships, alien and Titan.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Continues to move slowly down the corridor, stopping every few feet to listen for any aliens approaching::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: Fine.  ::Reaches up and presses the button with the sun symbol on it::

XO_Madson says:
@::Moves up the corridor behind the CTO keeping his mind open and "listening" for the thoughts of the aliens in the area::

Host Titan_Computer says:
COM: CO: USS Titan is at 100 percent.  Alien ship is also at 100 percent without previous alien lifesigns.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Turns to see the XO behind her and wonders if he already completed checking out the corridor to the right::  Whispers:: XO: You completed checking out the other corridor already?  Gee...you're quick!  ::Turns and moves along the corridor::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship's lights all turn a purplish-green color and a harsh, high-pitched tone sounds.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops in her tracks and cringes, covering her ears from the high-pitched sound::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Press the button again::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: See what you did?  ::Yelling over the noise::

Host CO_Loran says:
@*XO/CTO*: The…. ::Cringes from the high pitched sound::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Covers his ears::

XO_Madson says:
@::Cringes at the noise:: CTO: What is that?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The tone stops, but restarts after a second.  The length of the tone shorten with every time it stops.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Turns to the CEO and CNS::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Looks at the XO:: XO: I don't know!  ::Moves forward quickly, shaking her head to clear it::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: That is the only way to find out some times.  ::Yells::

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Computer: Status of emergency teleportation of entire crew back to Titan?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Taps COM badge:: *CO* Sir, I suggest evacuating the vessel immediately.  This could be a self-destruct sequence initiating.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Turns to the CO and waves “Hi”:: CNS: Well, turn it off!  ::Yelling::

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: You won't be able to hear the aliens over this noise.  I'll take point and see if I can feel them.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CO: Sorry, Sir but we need to find out what these buttons do.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  I'll be right behind you, Sir!

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's computer responds to the CO that the crew evacuation is 65% complete.

XO_Madson says:
@::Takes point listening for the emotions of the aliens and makes his way down the corridor::

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Computer: Are you registering any kind of power build up on the alien ship?

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Sees a button with a sun symbol and a line through it and presses that one::

Host Titan_Computer says:
COM: CO: Negative.  Alien ship is still surrounded by dampening field in its aft areas.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Follows close behind the XO, weapon gripped tightly in her hand and aimed ahead::

XO_Madson says:
@::Continuing down the halls::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The tone stops.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Computer: how long until full beam out of Titan personnel from the alien ship?

CMO_Madson says:
MO: Looks good.  Bentz should be good as new.  Let's take a look at that alien instrument after we clean up.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Breathes a sigh of relief as the noise stops:: XO: Well, that's better.  ::Moves along::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: Now we know what buttons not to push.

Host Titan_Computer says:
COM: CO: 12 minutes 34 seconds.

XO_Madson says:
@::Picks up the pace down the hall::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: Kind of, okay, I'll push the one that looks like the “wind”. ::Takes a breath and then pushes the button::

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: There have to be more of these aliens onboard.  Someone has to fly this thing.

CMO_Madson says:
::Starts scanning and looking at the alien instrument::

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: No doubt.  ::Moving quickly down the hall::

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: We must try to locate their Bridge.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: A small explosion can be heard and the atmosphere begins to rush from the area.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Turns and watches as the crew continues to be evacuated and moves up to one still inside the room::  Lt. Hampton:  When you get back to the ship, have a few tricorders and some phasers beamed back about 10 feet from the current beam out spot.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stumbles into the bulkhead from the explosion::  XO: What was that?  ::Looks down the corridor::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Reaches up and pushes the button again::

XO_Madson says:
@::Bounces around from the explosion and feels the pressure change in the halls:: CTO: What was that?

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Feels the rush of air and tries to go over to the two engineers playing with a new tow::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Feels the air in the area rush out:: Oops.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: Sounded like an explosion, Sir.  ::Taps COM badge:: *CO* Benson to Loran, what was that, Sir?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: There is no change.  The atmosphere continues to rush out of the alien ship.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Starts looking for a button to stop the effect::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Begins to cough from the thinning atmosphere:: XO: We got to get out of here.  The air is getting a bit thin.  ::Coughs::

Host CO_Loran says:
@*CTO* I believe it is an attempt of our CEO and CNS at trying to figure out what the alien controls do.

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Let’s get down the hall quicker.  I'll be able to sense the aliens a lot easier without all the commotion, maybe we'll find some thicker air elsewhere.

CTO_Benson says:
@*CO* We are loosing life support, Sir.  The oxygen is growing thinner.  ::Coughs::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Coughs:: CNS: Let's try closing to doors since the air seems to be leaving from that area.

Host CO_Loran says:
@*XO/CTO* I want the two of you to return to the disembark area immediately.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Follows the XO quickly down the corridor, coughing from the thin air::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Sees a button that look like an old pressure symbol and presses it::

XO_Madson says:
@*CO* Can the Titan beam down some oxygen packs to our location?  I don't think we can make it back with the current air.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Hears the orders from the CO to return to the beam out point::  *CO* Acknowledged.  XO: We must turn back, Sir.  ::Turns::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The air stops rushing away and seems to be replaced with fresh air.  The lights turn back to their normal yellowish-blue color.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: Have you still got the ring?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Begins to breathe a bit easier and notices the lights have returned to normal::

XO_Madson says:
@::Stops and feels the air returning:: CTO: Nevermind, the air is coming back.  Let’s get back down the hall.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: Okay that button is also bad.  Yes. ::Hands him the ring::

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns back and follows the XO again::

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Feels air return to the corridor::  CNS/CEO: I would suggest not touching any more buttons until we have everybody back on Titan.

CMO_Madson says:
Self: Hmm, this instrument is composed of titanium and some other metals I can't identify and it doesn't seem to be high tech::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The corridor stops about 23 meters from the CTO and XO.  There is one door there and it's closed.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Reaches the end of the corridor and looks at the door then at the XO:: XO: Shall we try it?

XO_Madson says:
@::Keeps moving up the hall:: CTO: What do you think of that door?

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Let’s give it a shot.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CO: All right, Sir.  ::Puts ring on and see if it will close the door::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Nods and stands back a few steps, weapon ready:: XO: Ready, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The door to the "medical area" closes.

XO_Madson says:
@::Sees the CTO cover the door:: CTO: I guess I'll go in.  ::Attempts to activate the door::

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Looks back at the door to see it close then looks at the CNS::  CNS: I think we still need that door opened as we still have crew behind it.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Shouts can be heard from the other side of the medical area door.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: Smart move.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: If these buttons go the way that they seem to this button is a definite no no.  ::Points to a button with what looks like a small mushroom cloud on it::

Host CO_Loran says:
@*XO/CTO* The computer informed me that it could not find any other alien lifeforms on board this ship, although it couldn't detect an area still covered by the EM field to the rear of the ship.

XO_Madson says:
@*CO* Understood.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: There doesn't appear to be any way to open the door manually, Sir.  Perhaps it requires use of one of those rings?

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO:I thought everyone was out.  ::Takes ring and opens door::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The door to the "medical area" opens with several Titan crew rushing through, still shouting.

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Perhaps.  Feel free to do so, if you have one handy.

CTO_Benson says:
@*CO* Acknowledged, Sir.  We are attempting to find a means to open a door we found, however there is no mechanism with which to activate it.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: I do not.  I gave the one and only ring I had to Ensign Horn, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: As the last of Titan's crew steps out of the medical area, they are beamed away.

Host CO_Loran says:
@*CTO* You probably need one of those rings that our Counselor seems to be playing with now.  ::Smiles a little to himself::

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Oh nuts.  We should get that back.

CTO_Benson says:
@*CO* We have figured that out, Sir.  I do not have one of those rings and neither does Commander Madson.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Walks back into the 'medical' room and looks for the remaining alien bodies and sees if any of them has a ring on their finger::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Looks at the XO and waits for his instructions:: XO: Should we head back to the beam out point and retrieve a ring, Sir?

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CO: What are you look for, Sir?

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Perhaps.  COM: Titan: Can we get a transport to the beam out position?

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Bends down over one of the aliens and finds a ring around one of its fingers and takes it off and then rises and heads back out the door of the 'medical' room showing the CNS the ring::  CNS: This.

CTO_Benson says:
@XO:, Sir, perhaps we should try to find our way to the aft section of the ship.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The CTO and XO are beamed back, all of 120 meters, to the transport coordinates on the alien ship

CTO_Benson says:
@::Materializes back at the beam out point and looks for the CO::

XO_Madson says:
@::Looks for the CNS::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Phasers and tricorders for everyone materialize near the medical area door

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Goes back and tries to read some more of the console before pushing any more buttons.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Sees the XO and CTO beam in front of them::  XO/CTO: Hold up, we will need to form 2 parties to search this ship.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Moves over and picks up a tricorder and phaser::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves to the phasers and tricorders, bending down and picking up one of each.  Puts the phaser in her holster and the tricorder in her belt:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Hangs onto the alien weapon::

CMO_Madson says:
::Walks to Sarah and checks the readouts on her baby::

XO_Madson says:
@::Moves over to pick up a tricorder and phaser, and holsters the alien weapon::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Picks up a phaser and tricorder for himself and the CEO::CEO: Here, Chief.  ::Hands him the phaser and tricorder::

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Opens the tricorder and starts to take some readings::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Pulls phaser from her holster and checks the settings::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CNS: Thanks. ::Takes the two equipment without looking away from console::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Holsters the phaser and pulls out her tricorder, flipping it open to activate it.  Taps the buttons::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Steps away from console remembering two important things that might be needed.  COM Titan: Beam over a Med-kit and Engineering kit.

Host CO_Loran says:
@CEO: I want you to stay here and use the tricorder to figure out what those buttons mean.  I must emphasize that you do not push any buttons unless I order you to do so.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Picks up increased power activity from one deck above::  CO: Sir, my tricorder is picking up increased power activity one deck above us.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CEO: Chief, I am detecting the damping field back here.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Whispers under breath “spoiled sport”::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The CMO suddenly gets a vision of a glowing, transparent crystal floating in space.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Nods to the CTO::  All: We will split up into 2 teams.  Madson and McDuggle will be one team and Benson and myself will be the other.

XO_Madson says:
@CO: Understood.  ::Motions to the CNS:: CNS: Let’s go.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Nods to the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CO: Sir I have pinpoint the area of the damping field and am going to check it out.

CTO_Benson says:
@CO: Shall we try to get to the deck above this one and check out the increased power activity?

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: Roger.

Host CO_Loran says:
@CTO: We will return to the location you were previously at and check behind the door.

CTO_Benson says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves out:: This way, Sir.  ::Takes the lead, weapon ready::

Host CO_Loran says:
@XO/CNS: If you need help, just ask and keep an open COM link active as well.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Follows the CTO::

CMO_Madson says:
MO: I'm seeing a crystal just floating in space.  It's emanating light!

XO_Madson says:
@XO: Let’s go back to where we before, and check the other direction of the fork.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Follows the XO::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves along the corridor quicker this time as she has already cleared this part of it.  Makes her way to the junction at the end::

XO_Madson says:
@::Heads down in the unchecked portion of the fork at a somewhat fast pace::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Turns left at the junction and continues towards the end where the door is located::  CO: This way, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The kits the CEO asked for materialize near him.  The engineering Kit materializes on his toe.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Continues to follow the CTO::

CTO_Benson says:
@CO: You remembered to bring one of those rings, right, Sir?

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Follows the XO trying to keep pace::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The XO and CNS come to an abruptly short corridor with a door at the end.

Host CO_Loran says:
@CTO: Yup.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Out loud:: Ouch!!, you son of a @#$%&!

XO_Madson says:
@CNS: Can you open this??

CMO_Madson says:
COM: CO: Sir, I've seen a large crystal floating in space with a light emanating from it.  It feels very dangerous and powerful!

CTO_Benson says:
@::Reaches the end of the corridor and waits for the CO.  Looks at the door again::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@:: takes Kit and pushes it to the side::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: Sir, get ready and I will open it.  ::Takes rings and starts opening door::

XO_Madson says:
@::Readies weapon::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The door in front of the CNS opens into  a small chamber resembling a turbolift.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Looks at the CTO and motions her to take the other side of the door, then places the ring on his finger and moves it close to the door::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stands back a few feet, aiming her phaser at the door::  CO: Ready, Sir.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Pulls out tricorder and starts universal translator function and scans the symbols in::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: After you, Sir.

CMO_Madson says:
COM: CO: I haven't been on the ship long, but this vision has a sense of urgency!

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The door in front of the CO opens into another corridor, running perpendicular with many doors along each side.

XO_Madson says:
@::Steps into the turbolift::

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Moves through the door and into the other side::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves through the doorway, stopping a moment to survey the corridor before her.  Notices several doors lining the hallway::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Steps into the turbolift after the XO:: XO: Up, Sir?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Looks to the CO:: CO: I hope that ring has several charges left in it.  There are quite a few doors here, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: CMO:  What do you mean?  Did it say anything or do anything that would make it resemble something dangerous?

XO_Madson says:
@CNS: Up one deck.

CMO_Madson says:
COM: CO: Did you guys do anything funny on that ship?  This crystal means business now.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves forward, slowly and cautiously, weapon pointed in front of her, moving from side to side::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: Roger, Sir.  ::Pushes a button that indicates up::

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: CMO:  Well, our CEO and CNS were playing with a few buttons that cause what appeared to be some disruptions with the ship.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Approaches the first door and waves the ring in front of the door::

CMO_Madson says:
COM: CO: Uh oh.  Have you ever run into a crystal before?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops as the CO opens the first door::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The XO and CNS feel a sensation of movement for a short second, then the doors open to reveal a large room with several consoles all around it.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: CMO:  No, I haven't and from my memory, neither has the Titan.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The CO's door opens into what appears to be crew quarters.

XO_Madson says:
@::Draws weapon and cautiously enters the room::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Moves out in to room and starts scanning with the tricorder::

CEO_Fletcher says:
@COM: Titan: Beam over some transport enhancers.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves into the room and looks around:: CO: This appears to be a crew Quarters, Sir.

CMO_Madson says:
COM: CO: Well, I get a sense of power from the crystal so maybe button pushing isn't a hot idea.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Starts rifling through the stuff she finds laying about the room::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: CMO:  I've instructed him to stop playing with the buttons for now.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: Sir, I think we should have the CEO up here.

XO_Madson says:
@CNS: Well, maybe after his previous work with the other buttons, let’s scope it out ourselves for now.

Host CO_Loran says:
@CTO: Find anything?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Transport enhancers materialize near the CEO.

CTO_Benson says:
@CO: Negative, Sir, nothing of interest.  I suggest we try the other doors, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
@CTO: Lets move out then.

CTO_Benson says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves out of the room and makes her way to the next door::

XO_Madson says:
@::Starts examining the controls::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@XO: I had as much to do with that as the CEO did, Sir and I believe the CEO would be of more help here that at the console he is at now.

CEO_Fletcher says:
@::Takes the enhancer and lines the perimeter:: I want as much transport space as possible.

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Moves out of the room and down to the next door and waves the ring in front of it::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stands ready to move into the next doorway::

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Titan: If there is any readings from this ship that might cause it to explode or injure any personnel present on the alien ship, emergency beam that person or people back to Titan immediately.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The next door opens for the CO into what looks like a mess hall area with four tables and small stools all around.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Quickly moves through the doorway, making her way to the right::

Host CO_Loran says:
@::Moves into the room and scans it with the tricorder::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves about the room, checking it out::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Continues to scan consoles::
