Summary:

Who ever said that singing soothes the savage breast may have been right on the money. The Chief Engineering Officer seems to have stumbled onto something that could allow the crew to gain access to the mine. The question is......do they dare enter?

Starfleet has contacted the Kensington and they will be providing security for the newest citizens of Serenity and their mothers. All but one tiny boy will soon be in the arms of their mothers soon, but what of the boy?

Sightings of the Others have not been reported for some time, but it seems they are still around. The new counselor has been contacted telepathically by the Others and told the Triton will once again fail the test. This is getting creepy now.

As we begin, the Chief Engineering Officer is still working on the forcefield by figuring out that it consists of a series of musical tones that seem to like Klingon songs....hmmm. Can she find the right sequence and will her voice hold out that long and can the crew take it?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in "Building Blocks"....Chapter Nineteen "Sing a Song of Love".....Stardate 10708.30

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Changes the song to a Klingon love song and records the words and tones.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Arrives on the Triton via shuttle.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Steps aside and comms the Triton to check on Baby Taurik.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Just finishing talking with his personnel to let all the guards go and assigns a crewman to keep guard of the Counselor at all times.::

Tessie says:
@::Checking on the babies, and sends a message back to the Captain that Baby Taurik is doing just fine.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Looks at the Operations Officer.:: OPS: Do you think the Chief Engineering Officer is on to something?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Steps out with Teebo by her side, greets some people working in the Shuttlebay and wanders off to find her quarters.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Records the tones and the pattern begins to form even more.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO: I honestly have no clue what the Chief Engineering Officer is doing.  I have to figure out which baby goes to which mother and where she is.

TO Riley says: 
::Walks up to the Counselor and just stands there watching over him.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Holds her ears as she hears the Chief Engineering Officer singing.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self:  Got to be the harmonic resonance.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Blinks at the Operations Officer.::  OPS:  What babies?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Holds his head and thinks.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Heads over to the Executive Officer.:: XO:  I guess we forgot to give you that little piece of information.  ::Chuckles.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Lieutenant Gaeb has multiple children with multiple mothers?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Removes his hands from his head and stands.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Chuckles.::  XO:  No.... The mothers on Serenity were being exploited and their babies were being taken.  We took the babies back to the Triton for their safety.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO:  Oh god, no!

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  Oh, I was afraid I was going to get stuck babysitting.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Finds her quarters rather fast and keys in her code, hoping Operations took care of her 'special needs' list for quarters.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Begins to walk around.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO: That would kill my poor dear mother!

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Looks at the Operations Officer.::  XO:  But I do hear he was quite the hit with the ladies.  ::Winks at the Operations Officer.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Shrugs and puts his hands up.:: OPS: I was just a bit confused about that one.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
XO:  And don't worry.  I'm adopting one, so those dinners that you put in your report about having with me .. well Baby Taurik will be part of those dinners.  ::Slaps him hard across the back.::  May as well make good use of our dinner time.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Finds everything in order, gives Teebo some food and leaves her quarters to find Sickbay and hopefully someone to take care of Teebo while she's on the planet.::

TO Riley says: 
CNS:  Excuse me Sir, but I think we should stay with the rest of the crew for the time being.

ACTION: The Chief Engineering Officer's singing is beginning to get to the away team as she tries to find the proper tones to affect the forcefield.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Goes back to Malor and lowers her voice.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO: Well we have a lot of confusion to share with you.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Well, I guess you could say I have experience. My last Executive Officer was a regular baby factory and I was Godfather to one of them.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Is reminded again why he does not like the sound of a Klingon melody.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
OPS:  Do you think you can get the crew some ear plugs.  We seem to have some real issues here.  ::Points to the Chief Engineering Officer, with her singing.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: I guess the definition of mass confusion is Father's Day on Serenity.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  Is the CEO drunk?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Enters Sickbay and finds it rather deserted.::  Anyone:  Hello?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
XO:  Good to hear, Lieutenant.  And Operations here gets to play matching with the babies and their mom's.  ::Pauses.::  No, she's trying to bring down the forcefield.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Hears the Executive Officer's comment::  XO:  Your attempt at humor is rather crude and unsettling.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO:  It was just a joke, Ensign.

Tessie says:
@::Walks out into the main sickbay area.::  FCO:  Welcome aboard, Commander.  You must be Commander Shania?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@MO: Yes, I am.  I just arrived and am here to get cleared.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
Self:  Jokes. Such a waste of valuable breath.

Tessie says:
@FCO:  Good then.  Let's just have you hop up here, ::pats a nearby biobed:: and I'll have a look at you.  ::Reaches for a medical tricorder.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO: There is a definite pattern with the tones of the notes, or maybe it is just the tones.  Need a few.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Sits on the bed, as ordered.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS:  Do you have anyone to help you with playing match the baby?

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO:  The mothers would be a great help.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS:  Good point.  I was just considering allowing Ensign Salor assist you.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  Go ahead.  Do you think there's enough of a hole that we can manage to send a probe in through the broken field?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::As the guards run off the security detail takes up there posts and take up guard.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
XO:  With a DNA scan I can probably match them easily.

Tessie says:
@FCO:  Now then, anything in your history that may not be on your chart that I need to be aware of?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
OPS: Then I'll keep you in mind of babysitting shifts.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@MO: Not that I know of, no.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Stands and walks down what appears to be a corridor.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Winks at the Captain.::

TO Riley says:
CNS:  I suggest that we stay with the rest of the crewmembers at this time.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Does not hear the Tactical Officer and continues walking.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  Umm Captain, is he supposed to be going that way?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Points to the Counselor.::

TO Riley says:
::Grabbing his shoulder.::  CNS: I think it best we stay put.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Turns and glares at the Tactical Officer.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Walks over to the Counselor and Tactical Officer.::  TO:  Easy trigger.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS:  Where are you headed, Commander?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
XO:  That way...

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Sees the commotion and walks over.::  ALL:  What seems to be the problem?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS: What exactly is that way?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  Need a few more minutes.  Then I will attemp.......there got to be a pattern better than this.  This makes no sense at all but I will keep trying.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
XO:  I do not know, Sir!... I am being called.....That way.

TO Riley says:
::Glad to see that is some else's problem for now.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS:  By who?

Tessie says:
::Runs the tricorder over her to complete the physical.::  FCO:  Looks like you are up to date on all your medical hypos.  I think you are good to go.  ::Snaps the medial tricorder closed.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
XO:  Shall I send a team to investigate?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
XO:  I do not know, Sir!.....They wish me to go that way.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO:  You and a team join me and the Counselor.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  With your permission, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Heads over to the Counselor.::  XO/CNS:  I think they are trying to lead us away from the entrance to the cave.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@MO: Perfect, thank you very much. ::hops off the bed.:: Well, I guess I hope I won't see you again soon ::grins:: No offense.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
TO:  Come with us and take 2 more.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CO:  Captain...They are leading me that way...I do not think you all are invited.

Tessie says:
@FCO:  Hopefully just for well visits, Commander.  ::Winks at her.::  Take it easy.  And tell the Captain the paperwork has been initiated.  She'll know what I mean by that.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Two more security personnel join in along with Tactical Officer Riley.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@MO:  Will do. Bye now.  ::Walks out of Sickbay and off to find the transporter room.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Counselor.:: XO:  Go with him.  
CTO:  Make sure security has him protected.  He's our only link to the others.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Takes her tricorder and aims it at the forcefield and replays the harmonic sequence and waits.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  Understood, Captain.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
CO:  Understood, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
XO:  I'll stay behind with our opera loving chief engineer.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Turns to the Executive Officer.::  XO:  With all due respect, Sir, ...Keep your distance.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO:  Enjoy.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Turns and continues on.::

ACTION:  The forcefield begins to fluctuate as the Chief Engineering Officer plays the tones but it doesn't fall.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Nods to the Chief Tactical Officer, Executive Officer and Counselor, and then heads back to the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
TO:  Cover Commander Jarek along with Elson.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Follows, not bothering to keep his distance.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud: Hello my lovely.  Look at those fluctuations.  Nice.  Now how to get something in there at its weakest point.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Relieved to find the transporter room where it's supposed to be, greets the officer on duty and requests a beam down to wherever the other crewmembers may be.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Stops and bows his head and hesitates.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Follows right behind the Executive Officer with one guard and the other 2 flanking the Counselor.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO:  Phasers on stun, Ensign.  ::Pulls his Phaser.::

Transporter Chief says:
@FCO:  Beaming to the Captain's location, Commander?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Raises his head and continues.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Walks up behind the Chief Engineering Officer, making some noise so she does not startle her.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Motions to his men to do the same with all of them taking there weapons out.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@Transporter Chief:  Yes, please..unless you detect weapons fire. ::grins.::

Transporter Chief says:
@::Presses the button before she has a chance to change her mind.  Just smiles.::  

ACTION:  The Flight Control Officer is beamed to the away team's location.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Feels the familiar tingle as she's beamed down.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~CO: Captain...Please inform the Executive Officer to back off...Whomever is guiding me does not like the crowd.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CNS:  I will have him back off a bit to a reasonable distance, Commander, but you are to be protected at all costs.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~XO:  Lieutenant, back off a bit.  Give the Counselor some space, .. a reasonable distance .. but do not let him out of your sight.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  Sensed you coming.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  I didn't want to interrupt you, Commander.  How are things going?  Are you having any luck?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~CO: I see he decided to go over my head.  Understood, Captain. We'll back off 10 yards.~~~

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO/TO’s:  Let’s give the Counselor about ten yards of space.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Materializes by the Away Team and takes a second to look around before making herself noticed.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  Well when I replay the tones the shield or forcefield fluctuates.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~XO:  Make it 5, Lieutenant.  Not an inch more.~~~

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::Motions the rest to back off a little.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO/TOs:  Make that 5 yards, Captain's orders.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~CO:  With all due respect, Captain, I have survived several conflicts with the Shadowman entity.  I feel no harm here, Sir.  Send one crew member with a tricorder please.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CNS:  You have your distance.  5 yards.~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Steps back so no one bumps into her.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CNS:  You have your orders, Commander.  I am not removing any security details.~~~ 

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~CO: Understood.~~~

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Nods to the Executive Officer and moves in closer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  Maybe if I can get the shield to weaken at one place, I can get a probe through or even myself.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Self:  Note to self, talk to the Counselor about going over his Commanding officer's head.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CEO:  If anyone is going through, that will be me, Commander.  If you can get the shield down, I will be the one to go.  Please let me know if that is possible.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CO:  I will not let you take that risk.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~XO: No need, Lieutenant!~~~

TO Borisin says: 
CO:  If you would allow me, I don't like you going in unprotected.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
~~~CO: With all due respect, Captain, I will not lose another Captain again.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CEO:  Thank you, Commander, but I am going to have to override you on that one.  I will make note of your objection however.~~~

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~CO: May I have one officer with a tricorder with me please, Sir?~~~

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS: Commander, do you make it a point to invade other's thoughts?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Waits for a good moment to introduce herself since everyone seems to be busy.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~XO: Only when they invade mine, Sir.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
~~~CNS:  You have several officers with you, Commander.  No one is going to be backing off, so please get used to the security escort.  They all should have standard tricorders.  Ask the Executive Officer for his.~~~

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~CNS: I didn't have to invade your thoughts to know you went over my head.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
TO:  Let's first get the shield down.  Then we can argue about it.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Tunes the Counselor out.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Turns and notices the Flight Control Officer.::  FCO:  Commander Shania, I take it?

TO Borisin says: 
CO:  Yes, Ma’am.  ::Takes his place beside her to cover her.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Startled for a second.::  CO:  Uhm, that's me.  Reporting for duty.  The Medical Officer sends her regards; the paperwork has been initiated.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
~~~XO: Lieutenant, we have a mission to account to.  Any grievance you have against me, feel free to mount them after this mission...However I need a tricorder at this moment, can you supply one for me....SIR!?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Smiles a wide smile at the Flight Control Officer.::  FCO:  Thank you, Commander!  Our current situation here on Serenity involves a group known as the Others.  They have been exploiting the women on this planet and stealing their babies.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Raises his voice.:: CNS: You will check that attitude, Commander! You may not be vocalizing anything but you are still speaking to a Commanding officer. Now you will show me the due respect or you will be scrubbing waste management with your toothbrush if you choose to continue with this insubordination. ::Hands the Counselor his Tricorder.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO:  Lovely folks, I see.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO:  What can I do?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Turns and heads back in the direction of the Captain.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Follows the Counselor, still keeping his distance.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
XO:  I have lost contact.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Thinks to himself to run a background check on the Counselor when they get back to the ship.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  We have posted additional security on the surface to protect the babies who are now hopefully being reunited with their mothers.  We are trying to bring down this forcefield that's blocking our entrance to the cave.  Can you work with the Chief Engineering Officer and assist in bringing down the shield?

ACTION: The Chief Engineering Officer finally hits the correct tones and the forcefield drops with a loud tone that produces a backlash that knocks her head over heels rendering her unconscious.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
*ALL*:  All away team members, please report back to the cave site.  Medical emergency.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO:  How are you in treating injuries?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CTO/CNS/TO’s: Double time it boys. That means run.  ::Takes off in a dead run.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Runs after the Executive Officer.::   TO Riley:  Stay with the Counselor at all cost.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~CNS:  I'll need my Tricorder back.  As I'm also a doctor.~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO:  I guess I better be okay at it. ::Takes off to the Chief Engineering Officer and checks vital signs.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Double times it to the Captain.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Hands the tricorder to the Executive Officer.::

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Takes it as they get closer to the rest of the team.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Sees the Executive Officer, Chief Tactical Officer, and Counselor approaching.::  Yells to the XO:  Chief Engineering Officer needs assistance.  
FCO/CNS/CTO: You're with me.  Let's go in before the shield goes back up!

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Notices the force field down.::  ALL Security in the Area:  Secure that opening!

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CO:  Permission to return to the ship, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Runs up to the Captain and motions TO Borisin to follow along.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
XO:  She's unconscious but seems to be okay otherwise.  ::Runs off after the others.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CNS:  Commander, is there something back at the ship that is more pressing than this away mission?

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Switches his Tricorder to Medical and begins scanning the Chief Engineering Officer immediately.::

ACTION:  Another tone begins to fill the air...it is coming from inside the cave.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
FCO/CTO/CNS:  Let's go.  Proceed with caution .. into the cave.  ::Starts to head in, her tricorder open and scanning.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CO:  No, Sir.  However I cannot continue this mission under it’s present restraints.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Follows the Captain, phaser drawn.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
::Motions for Borisin and Riley to flank the whole group and walks beside the Captain to cover her.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CNS:  Counselor, you are a Starfleet officer.  You are needed here.  If you can not perform that duty, say so now, and I will have you reassigned.  This "is" your job.  This is what you signed up for.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CO:  A moment please, Captain; Privately.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CNS:  Steps inside the cave.  What is the problem, Counselor?

ACTION: The force field snaps again in place with another tone trapping the Chief Tactical Officer, Flight Control Officer, and Captain inside before the others could go in.  The Counselor, Executive Officer, and the rest are caught outside the cave.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Notices the Counselor still on the outside and walks back bumping into the forcefield.::  Out loud:  What the ...?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
*XO*:  He's yours now.  Deal with it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Is out cold.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
CO:  It would seem that we are trapped on the wrong side, Captain.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
*CO*:  After I'm done treating the Chief Engineering Officer, Captain, I fully intend to deal with it.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have proven my service to Starfleet.  My service record and commendations prove that....For some reason they ..who ever they are want to talk to me...and Me alone....You want results you have to give to get....

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
CTO/FCO:  Not the wrong side, Ensign.  The right side.  ::Turns around looking into the cave's darkness.::  Let's go.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::Administers a Hypo to wake the Chief Engineering Officer up.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::Not sure this was how she envisioned her first day on the job.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*CO*:  I should have been dead ten times and yet I live....Tell me why?

ACTION:  The hypo has some effect, but the Chief Engineering Officer is still out.

Host XO_Lt_Cartwright says:
*CO*:  I'm going to need to get the Chief Engineering Officer back on the Triton to treat her properly.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
::Listens to the Counselor, as she walks away.::  *CNS*:  This is not a one-man team, Counselor.  It never was.  Get used to it.
