Host SM_Pam says:
As the ground rumbles, the nebula continues to shrink as the away team waits to leave Pollux IV still breathing. The Captain has somehow managed to land a shuttle nearby in his efforts to collect his crew and get them safely back to the Triton.

Host SM_Pam says:
With the nebula shrinking from the positive beam, the winds and earth tremors increase at the same time. Is Athena behind all this or is she just a small fish in a much bigger pond?

Host SM_Pam says:
The alien device is humming again as it did when the CEO tried to work on it. Could this be a signal or warning to the away team to keep their hands off? Does it have something to do with Athena’s power or just a reflection of it?

Host SM_Pam says:
Let’s get the ball rolling and find the answers.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Status.

@:: holding up the tricorder, scanning the energy levels ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@:: rifle still covering the CMO, a few meters away out of sight ::

Host Athena says:
@CMO: I am concerned.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: verifying the ship's position ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  Can you make the particle beam intermittent, just enough to keep the nebula at a reasonable size without letting the winds get too severe?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: looks over towards the post :: Athena: Concerned about what?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  stops pacing and waits for the CEO to respond ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: I am now working on ways to help the captain's shuttle exit the atmosphere either manually or remotely.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: We'll try from here sir.

Host Athena says:
@CMO: That Kalek does not wish to return with me.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  nods to the officer manning OPS ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: And your progress?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: hands fly over console ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: Why does that concern you? :: she looks back towards Athena ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Position holding steady?

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The particle beam continues to shrink the nebula and once more the winds return in full force.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Aye, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@Guards:  Let's move out.  You that way, and you that way  :: motioning for the two guards to flank the intended area ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: nods to the FCO ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Give or take a few centimeters, of course.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@Self:  Hhmm... this is really.... an annoying situation.  :: keeps working, then thinks "I am not being able to get anything from the devices" ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Good.  Maintain position and altitude.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Well I believe that with the intermittent particle beam as the captain suggested, I can hold the shuttle together till he returns onboard.  It is going to be tricky but I believe I can do it.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: begins moving toward the general area of the AT ::

Host Athena says:
@:: looks around almost as if she is nervous :: CMO: I did not count on his reluctance.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: I believe in you, T'Ponga.  I KNOW you can do it.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  looks back to the screen and starts pacing again ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Aye, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: hands continue to fly and simulations of all variables and double checks again ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@CO: What is your position?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: feels the winds blowing stronger ::  *Triton*:  Triton, this is Lieutenant Kalek.  Please respond.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: And why is that? He is not from your era, he is apart of a separate life than yours.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayers>  OPS: In coming transmission from the surface, ma'am

Host Athena says:
@CMO: His is an ordered mind. We desire order.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Sayer: On speakers.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayers>:: places transmission on speakers ::   OPS: On speakers aye, ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: I have rechecked my calculations and yes I can keep the shuttle together while he manually takes off.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*Triton*:  Triton,  please acknowledge.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: becomes more interested :: Athena: Why do you "all" seek order?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Good...good.  Excellent work, T'Ponga.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: taps a few buttons on the tricorder ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CSO*: Anari here, go ahead, Mr. Kalek.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Thank you Anari.  Coming from you that makes me feel even more confident in my work.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: presses a few buttons on the console to adjust the position ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: pressing on, shielding his mouth and nose from the occasional winds ::

Host Athena says:
@CMO: I can not speak more of it. Please do not ask me again.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: raises an eyebrow at the CEO's remark ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*Bridge to Engineering*:

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*OPS*:  Commander, the winds are stronger here on surface.  May I ask you if you still have that particle beam working?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: But to better understand what you need I would like to know more.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: no response at first ::

Host Athena says:
ACTION: Dust and small stones fly in the Captain's face as he walks

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: frowns ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*Engineering*: Ens. Spanner where the blazes are you?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CSO*: Yes we do...but the beam is being fired intermittently.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: looks over to Sayers ::   Sayers: Terminate the beam.

Host Athena says:
@:: waves her hand and sends the doctor several hundred feet away ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayers> OPS: Aye ma'am...   :: fingers move over his console terminating the beam ::   Beam is terminated.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: glad he brought his shades ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*OPS*:  I see.  :: pauses for a second, then proceeds ::  Somehow, it seems that every time you use the beam, the winds here become harder.  The more you fire against the nebula, the more the winds blow stronger.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner> :: bangs his head on the bulkhead ::  *CEO*: Ooowwwwwww that hurt!!  Here ma'am, sorry I didn't respond but got a small fracture in the engineering room bulkhead.  Have it fixed now.  What you need?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CSO*: Understood.  I have just ordered the beam terminated.

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The humming of the device stops again

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: feels herself being moved somehow. She watches as Athena gets smaller. She then stops moving :: Self: That was nice. :: she starts to walk back :: ~~~OPS: E'Laina, tell Vince that there is a reason to believe that Athena is somehow working collectivley with something. Possibly the Federation equipment. I am unsure however.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*Ens Spanner*: I need from you a reinforced tractor beam to grab and stabilize the shuttle when she clears the atmosphere.  Her hull is very unstable.  I can keep her together remotely from here but I need that tractor beam.  Timing is everything.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*OPS*:  Very well, Commander.  I will observe the climate behavior now.  Stand by.  :: walks to the post's door, but then hears the device going silent ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: looks at the viewscreen ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*OPS*:  Commander.......  :: scans the device ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CMO: Acknowledged.   CO: Captain, Ashley believes Athena is somehow working collectively with something...possibly the federation equipment.  At this point, it's purely hypothetical .~~~

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@CMO: Are you injured?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CSO*: Go ahead.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::  sees a slight shift in power output from the station on the planet ::  OPS: Do you see what I see?  There is a small power shift from the listening post.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she continues to walk back towards the communications post :: Self: Such a lovely computer she is. :: she reaches Athena and looks towards her :: Athena: That was not very nice. :: nods towards the CTO ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
Self:  Hmmmm.........

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  looks over to Sayers who nods ::   CEO: What have you?

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: hears 'power shift' and looks at the viewscreen curiously ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*OPS*:  As soon as you have ceased the beam, the device stopped humming.

Host Athena says:
@:: looks at the doctor and raises her finger to her lip :: CMO: Do not question me further.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Okay, good to know.  Any course of action you'd recommend?~~~

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
::  nods to self and sees the nebula beginning to grow again ::   *CSO*: Acknowledged.  The nebula up here is growing again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Well it looks like when you shut off the particle stream, the power shift was just enough for me to get some readings that are kinda strange but very familiar.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: tries to find any holographic matrix signatures ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: I just have one more if I may. Why is it that you resent us so? :: looks towards her, prepared to be moved again ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CO: I'm not sure at the moment. I'm in contact with the CSO. I have a feeling he's on to something. ~~~

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Familiar how?

Host Athena says:
@CMO: Resent you? I do not have such feelings. I am here only to find the ordered mind.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Okay, let me know if you or he come up with something.  Thank you.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: Aren't there other ordered minds in the universe?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Keep us clear of the nebula.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CO: Aye sir. ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: It looks like a small hole opened up in the center near the listening post almost as if the computers went down just for a second.  Something like  a hiccup.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: sits down feeling a little lightheaded from all the pacing ::

Host Athena says:
@CMO: Your Kalek is the first to pass this close to the nebula in many eons.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Yes, Commander.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Athena: Well there are many others. :: pauses :: Athena: I do not understand why you need an ordered mind however. Is it to keep you ordered?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Can we slip a phaser beam in there next time it hiccups?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: And what of the away team.  Are they too close to it?

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Heading 235 mark 124.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: keeps analyzing the energy flow, attempting to figure out where Athena fits into that situation ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Engaging thrusters.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: repositions the ship to attempt to keep clear of the nebula ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Yes they are. I think on the next window with some modifications to the transporters I can get a beam to pickup the AT and the Captain.

Host Athena says:
@CMO: Enough! :: waves her hand and now the CMO is more than a kilometer from the post ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Get working on it.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Keep us above the listening post...but away from the nebula.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: watches herself move faster away. When she stops she takes out her tricorder and looks over her position :: Self: This is getting even more fun. :: she starts back ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: closes tricorder and looks outside the post, sees Athena at the distance ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Aye, Commander. Adjusting course.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Heading 129 mark 012... Engaging thrusters.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@CSO: Get inside now!

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: looks like he sees something up ahead ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: nods ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@*CMO* are you OK?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: swallows hard and thinks to self ::  Self: I really need to see Ashley when she returns.

Host Athena says:
ACTION: Suddenly there is an energy surge from the nebula directed at the Triton. It appears to be some sort of communication transmission

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: stops ::  CTO:  Commander, I would like to speak to her.  Perhaps she has the answers we are seeking for.  It is clear now that she wishes to speak to me as well.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she sighs as she continues to walk. She taps her combadge :: *CTO*: I am fine Commander. It seems that Athena loves to toss me around.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: the winds have died enough to wear he can see the guards, who are about a hundred meters away in both directions ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayer> OPS: Energy surge of some sort coming directly at us! 

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: sighs ::   Sayers: Will shields hold?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@ATHENA: You have become too dangerous. Why can't you  understand that the CSO has no desire to go with you?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayers> OPS: Unknown.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Shall I lay in evasive maneuvers, Commander?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Yes...engage when ready.

Host Athena says:
@CTO: I am not dangerous. I will honour his wishes in time.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Aye, Commander.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she looks over her position, she is half way back :: Self: At least I am getting some exercise. :: she monitors her senses as she walks ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Engaging evasive pattern Alpha-Three.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CTO:  Commander?  :: leans head to the side, waiting for the CTO's answer ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@ATHENA: I find what you are doing to the doctor a dangerous move.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@Self: Almost there. :: she can see some figures in the distance ::

Host Athena says:
@CTO: You are an insignificant being. Be gone. :: waves her hand and sends the CTO all the way to where the shuttle landed ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: is still at the post doors, when realizes the CTO just vanished ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Yes I got it.  Got the transporter coordinates locked in.  Now all we need to do is wait for that window to open and we will be able to beam them back to the Triton.  Only thing is I need them to be close to the post so I can get all of them including the device.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Report.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: We appear to have evaded the surge successfully.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Be ready...cause we're moving now.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she reaches the area near the post as she notices the CTO disappear :: Athena: You are really starting to irritate me. :: smiles a bit :: Athena: However, I will follow your wishes.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: looks up at her::  Athena:  Very well.  I am the only one left.  Are you going to make me disappear as well?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Understood.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Keep on top it...but keep us close to the away team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*Ens. Spanner *: Be ready son with the tractor beam.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: Yes, Commander.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@Self: Next time you do that I shoot first.

Host Athena says:
@CSO: No, you I wish to remain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
<Ens. Spanner> *CEO*: You got it ma'am.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CMO:  Ashley, perhaps I should talk to her again.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: keeping the ship away from the nebula but remaining in transporter range::

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: The lock is holding so far. I have the AT and the Captain and the device.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: says a Vulcan prayer ::

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The OPS console suddenly springs to life with static.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayer>:: hears something in his earpiece ::   OPS: The beam is some kind of low transmission ... emitting on a low frequency band.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: nods towards Kalek :: CSO: Please do so. I will monitor the device for now. :: she walks away from the two, however staying in listening distance ::

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@:: goes in shuttle to contact the Triton::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: begins scanning Athena, tries to determine her biological composition ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: nods to Ashley and slowly walks towards Athena, still scanning her ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Sayer: Can you clean it up?  What's the communication?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@*Triton*: Triton I am in the shuttle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Ah I have the CTO moving out of my transporter range to the shuttle.  I need him with the others.

Host Athena says:
ACTION: A ghostly image appears on the Triton's deck #<Leonardo> COM: Triton: What have you done with my daughter?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she kneels down as her legs hurt a bit ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@Athena:  I believe we can talk now.  How are you feeling?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Sayer has the transporter controls.  Do you have the phaser beam ready?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: looks in surprise ::  Phaser?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Yes ma'am.  Got them right here.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: stands at the sight of the apparition ::   Image: I am Commander Anari.  If your daughter is Athena, she is on the planet below with my people.

Host Athena says:
@CSO: I am well. :: looks puzzled ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
ALL: It's not normal to be haunted, right?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: She is refusing to let one of our people go.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: is very perplexed by these new events ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she walks over to the device and looks it over :: Self: So why are you so special?

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: scratches his head and watches the Commander conversing with the ghostly image ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: notices the tricorder do not register any readings about Athena ::  Athena:  Why did your people create you?

Host Athena says:
#<Leonardo> COM: Triton: Why are your people with her? She is not of your world.

Host Athena says:
@CSO: My father created me as did yours.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: She abducted our Chief Science officer and apparently will not let him go.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@Athena:  And what is your purpose?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: Our people have gone to try and reason with her to release him.

Host Athena says:
#<Leonardo> COM: Triton: Is he of an ordered mind?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@:: hoping he didn't go the wrong direction ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: senses a greater mind behind this, a strong personality ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she listens to Athena and Kalek as she pretends to work on her tricorder ::

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: scratches his head in confusion ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: He is.  His race is of a very disciplined mind.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
SELF: Ordered mind?

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@*CSO*:  Get away from Athena, she has become unstable.

Host Athena says:
@CSO: To seek the ordered mind Kalek. That is my purpose.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: Can you help us?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: Can you ask your daughter to let our people go?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@*CTO*:  I apologize Commander, but I must bring this to an end.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: her skin begins to crawl ::  Self: Ordered mind? Nooooo!

Host Athena says:
#<Leonardo> COM: Triton: Athena seeks what she may not have. I will attend to my daughter. Your people must leave this place.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she taps her combadge as she hears the CTO's voice over Kalek's combadge :: *CTO*: Commander, he needs to speak with her. He has my permission.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: As soon as I retrieve our people...we will go.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@Athena:  And you do believe I am the one.  It happens that I am not the only one with this particularity.  Now, tell me why do you need an ordered mind?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: Can you help us?  Can you tell me why our equipment has failed?

Host Athena says:
#<Leonardo> COM: Triton: Your people may leave. All is as it was before.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Image: I don't understand.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: looks around ::

Host Athena says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the winds cease, the nebula remains stable and all was as before

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
:: shrugs his shoulders ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
Sayer: Report.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: looks around, the winds have ceased ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
<Sayer> OPS: I have a lock on the away team.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she looks up as everything clears up :: Self: Odd. :: she taps her combadge :: *OPS*: Away Team to Triton. It seems that everything down here has cleared up.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Report.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Ma'am I don't believe this but everything is back in order.

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The ghostly male image on the bridge fades

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CMO*: You'll be transported up here shortly.  Prepare the others.

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: We're still holding position above the station.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@Athena:  What is happening, Athena?  Are you doing this?

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  What's the status of the nebula?

FCO_Ens_Pillon says:
OPS: The nebula is well beyond its reach.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
FCO: Good.   CEO: I don't sense anything out of the ordinary.  I believe the image.

Host Athena says:
@:: looks around and begins to pace :: Self: Noooooo! He can't do this to me!

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: The nebula is stable.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: nods as she taps her  ombadge :: *CO/CTO*: Captain, Commander, prepare for transport soon. ::  walks closer to Kalek ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: We have a lock on the away team, sir.  Prepare to beam up shortly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Neither do I all I sense is calm and peace. I also trust him.

Host Athena says:
@CSO: Please come with me. He will not punish me if you come.

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  You found a way to get through?  How?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: looks at Anari and smiles ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: It's...unusual.  I'll fill you in when you return, sir.

CTO_LtCMDR_Ray says:
@CMO: No offence, but what just happened?

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The device begins to hum, but it sounds different this time

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
:: raises an eyebrow as she hears the CEO ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: raises an eyebrow at Athena as she watches Kalek. She turns as she hears the device ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: raises an eyebrow ::  Athena:  For more tempting your invitation seems to me, I must decline.  But I promise you that we will speak again.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CO*: Advise when the away team is ready, sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Anari I didn't say a thing honest.  :: smiles widely ::

Host Athena says:
ACTION: The ghostly image appears above Kalek and Athena

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  You might have to ask them yourself.  I haven't reached them yet.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@:: she turns now as she sees the image :: Self: Oh.. nice.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: looks up at a ghostly male image above him ::

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  What about the shuttle?

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
:: raises her eyebrow ::

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
*CMO*: Advise when you are ready to beam up.

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
CEO: Advise the Captain on the status of his shuttle, please.

Host Athena says:
@<Leonardo> Athena: My daughter you have been playing with these people long enough. You must come home now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir I show the shuttle is online and functioning normally.  You are able to fly her manually at this time.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@*OPS*: Understood. I will give the order in a moment. :: listens to the image :: ~~~OPS: We have a new visitor.~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@:: frowns slightly at the mention of the word "playing" ::

Host Athena says:
@Leonardo: But I found an ordered mind Father. Please let me keep him?

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CMO: A ghostly image?  I spoke with him. ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vince says:
@*CEO*:  Excellent Commander!

OPS-LtCmdr-Anari says:
~~~ CMO: Apparently Athena is his daughter.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@~~~OPS: Yes, he wants his daughter to return home.~~~

Host Athena says:
