Host Beth says:
Summary: The entire crew of the Triton has been mysteriously transported to the planet where vague whispering and something was trying to communicate with them.

Host Beth says:
What could have the power to transport almost 700 people without any power signatures?  What is this whispering that all non-telepathics were hearing?  And who is the disembodied voice?

Host Beth says:
Is it a ghost from the past?  Is it some last survivor?  And most importantly of all…how the heck is the crew going to get back to their ship floating hundreds of miles away in space?

Host Beth says:
Stay tuned for another exciting chapter of - “Through the Looking Glass”

Host Beth says:
Chapter 10 - “Who's that knocking at my door…”

::stands by the Captain and CTO::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::in the cave::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::using a tricorder she borrowed from one of her med staff, she scans the area for water::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::outside the cave still trying to figure out how the hell everyone got transported here enmasse::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::standing with the CO tricorder in hand::  CO: Trying to locate the source now sir.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::thinks they should probably be talking amongst themselves to aid the voice in its language acquisition, but mouth is too dry to speak::

Host Voice says:
<Klingon crewman> ::sidles up to the CEO:: CEO: Uh..ma'am...I have brought shame upon my house.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::On the planet outside the cave determining the level of moisture in the air and ground.:: *Science Team 1*:  Find out what's on the other side of this cave, but stay in touch.  I'd like to know if there are any intelligent signs of life on this planet.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::clears his throat::  CTO: That's good.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::growls:: Klingon crewman: I should say so.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  Any thoughts, commander?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<Science Team 1> *SO*:  We'll work on getting the tricorder readings, Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Klingon Crewman: What was this shame?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: The only life forms I am detecting are cave bats, nothing else

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*Science Team 2*:  See if you can find a water source.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  Bats?  A potential source of food....  ::tries not to think about it too much::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<SEC guard>  OUT LOUD:  OK people. Lets get the opening cleared and secure.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: I think we should press on and see what we can dig up.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Indeed captain.

Host Voice says:
<Klingon crewman> CEO: In a fit of madness, I found a targ and reverted back to the old ways.  It was very tasty.  I found out later that it was the targ of the great Captain K'Vas and was placed into your charge by the beautiful Admiral Sheridan. :;stands head hanging in shame::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO/CTO:  Okay.  Let's proceed in further.  Anyone got a light?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: No I do not.  but hold on one second.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Not me. Maybe we can find something to use as a torch...

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::pulls out his phaser and sets to low setting and fires on a rock to make it glow::

Host Voice says:
CO: I...am...here... ::the cave begins to glow with ambient lighting from various mosses that suddenly appears on the walls::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Trying to determine the amount of moisture in the ground and to see if there is any underground streams being picked up on her tricorder.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Maybe we should ask him for food and water, too.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::stops firing::  CO: How interesting.   :: scans the moss::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO/FCO:  Oookkay....  ::steps forwards towards the voice::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::follows closely::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::takes the phaser to stun setting and keeps it out walking beside the CO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::pulls out her Kut;luch::  Klingon Crewman: I will have your head on my bedpost.

Host Voice says:
CO: You...can...::it is apparent it is searching for the right words::...ah...understand?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Understand you?  Yes we can.  ::still moving forward, but not too quickly::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: It seems to trying to over come a language barrier.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nods:: CTO:  Agreed.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
<Science Team 1> *SO*:  Ma'am, there is nothing on this side of the cave but rock.  I'm going to expand the search.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::stops suddenly:: Klingon crewman: You better have a way to get me another targ.  I spent hours training him.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::approaches the SO:: SO: Cadet, found anything interesting on scans so far? I can detect faint bodies of water but nothing close.

Host Voice says:
<Klingon crewman> CEO: It is not for you to punish me, it is for the great Captain K'Vas to do so..or the beautiful Admiral Sheridan.  I was merely confessing my shame for you to relay to the great captain or the beautiful admiral.  I have done so...I am done here. ::turns and walks quickly away::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::walk around, looking for everything that could be useful ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::explodes::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out Loud: You P'tak come back here and face your just punishment!!!

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*Science Team 1*:  Very well, keep me posted.  Head toward the outskirts of the city.  Maybe there is something there that may link all of this to a civilization.
::Turns to the CMO.::  CMO:  I am finding the same thing.  I've sent two science teams out to find a source of water.  One of them is heading in the direction of the city outskirts.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Good. Keep me updated on what they find. Make sure they also have some security with them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::blood is boiling and feels the heartbeat in her chest rapidly beating into a frenzy as she hears the blood rushing through her veins::

Host Voice says:
CO: There are many...many of..your...creatures..no..your...persons outside?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Yes there are and I speak for all of them.

Host Voice says:
ACTION: The Klingon ignores the CEO and continues to walk off, disappearing into the milling crowd

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::roars in anger::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Nods to the CMO.::  CMO:  Good idea, thanks.
*CTO*:  Lt. Salor, I have two science teams out there that need security escorts.  Do you think you can spare a security officer or two to go with them?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: We detected bodies of water but they are rather far away. SO is sending a small team to investigate along with some SECs.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CSO* Of course cadet, Ens. Brigs should be at he cave mouth. see him and he'll assign you your teams.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::goes off looking for the Klingon p'tak::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*CTO*:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Heads over to Ens. Brigs.::
Ens. Brigs:  Excuse me, Sir, but I have two science teams out there that are in need of a security escort if you can spare the crew.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Water.  Good. Keep me updated.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: Will do. Hayes out.

Host Voice says:
CO: You are looking for....water? ::suddenly a spring appears bubbling out of the ground by the CO's feet::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::stops dead::  Voice:  What are you?

Host Voice says:
CO: I am me

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<TO Brigs>  SO: yes, of course.  :: motions to 4 men::  Take theses 4,  keep me posted on your operations.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Why did you bring us here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self: I will have that p'tak's head on my bedpost before the end of the day.  ::keeps walking around::

Host Voice says:
CO: I was...lonely

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::was afraid it was going to say that::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
<Nurse Roberts>CMO: We gathered all the medical equipment people had when they disappeared. We were able to assemble a few hyposprays with various contents, about 10 tricorders and a few tools that will be of no real use because they must be used with lab machinery.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: A very powerful entity.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  …that is lonely.  ::sighs::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
TO Brigs:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Gives the men the location of her two science teams.::
Four Security Men:  I appreciate your assistance!  Here's their location.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::quietly::  FCO/CTO:  I wish we had a counselor along..

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Nurse: Thank you. Make sure they are in a secure location where we can treat injuries if needed.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<4 SEC men>  :: nods to the SO and heads out to the 2 science teams::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Voice: How long have you been....alone?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
<Nurse Roberts>::nods and leaves to do as ordered::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  I'm sorry for your loneliness, but we have business elsewhere.  Please return us to our ship and let us leave here.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Perhaps if you could convince it to show itself, as a show of good faith.

Host Voice says:
FCO: ::it seems to be picking up the language very quickly:: I have been alone for thousands of years...before your world was ever born.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nods at the CTO::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Do you have a physical form, and could we see it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::picks up a tricorder and starts to figure out how she can get access to the Triton remotely::

Host Voice says:
::puzzled:: CO: I am here

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  We cannot see you.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  Doctor Hayes, I think we're going to need to consider a source of heat for the nighttime.  My tricorder has determined that nighttime temperature gets down to 25 degrees F.  That's going to get cold.  We'll probably need to use the tricorders to heat some rocks.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::prays to the goddess that it's not one of the bats talking to them::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: are you the planet, or with in the planet.

Host Voice says:
::even more puzzled:: CO: but I am here

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: I think it's trying to tell us that it's all around us.

Host Voice says:
CTO: Yes

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  That the planet is lonely?

Host Voice says:
CO: yes, I am lonely

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I believe I might be understanding. But I could be wrong

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: That would just be another crazy thing ::shrugs::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  And considering that the daytime temperatures reach about 90 degrees F, and current temperature is 70 degrees, I would say that we have only a few more hours of daylight left.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CO:  Did you have others once?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: If I my talk to the voice

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Good idea. Let's assemble some rocks. I wonder when nighttime starts here because we don't want to start heating them too much in advance yet we want to be ready.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  Yes, please.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  I would say the cave is our best area of protection.  ::Looks at the cave entrance.::  I hate caves.  ::Shudders.::  When there are caves, there are usually bats.  ::Frowns.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self: Damn it.  ::tosses the tricorder away::

Host Voice says:
CO: Yes...others.  They are gone now.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: I have seen your people. Though I do not know what has happened to them. Were, they the ones that were the others, and what did happen to them.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  What  happened to them?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  My estimate is about 6 hours of daylight remaining.  Nighttime is estimated to be about 12 hours.  Days are .. ::looking at her tricorder:: about 36 hours from what I can tell, give or take an hour or two.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: I don't enjoy bats much either but we'll need to tough it out. Okay, have some of the people gather rocks and bring them at the entrance of the caves. I'll contact the CTO to have permission to gather everyone when time comes... bring them to the caves. We still have time to explore before its night falls.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Nods to the CMO, and requests several of the science team to start gathering rocks to put inside the cave.::

Host Voice says:
CO/CTO: Thousands of years ago, there were millions of others.  I could feel them moving, building, growing, thriving.  Then I felt anger....and pain...pain from explosions that rendered the cities destroyed, rendered all life dead.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
:: walk back to the group ::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  They destroyed themselves.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: That is it captain, we are talking to the planet.

Host Voice says:
::sad:: Voice: I was alone afterwards

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
*SO* There's water in the cave. Maybe you can assign some people to save it somehow.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO/FCO:  Certainly sounds like it.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: We have about 6 hours left of light left. Per the SO's suggestion, we will gather rocks to later heat using phasers in order to create heat. We'll bring everyone at the entrance of the caves in a few hours.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  You intend to keep us against our will?

Host Voice says:
CO: I cannot exist alone.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  You have other life forms on this planet.  In time they will evolve.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Hears her com badge.::  *FCO*:  Aye, Commander.  The problem is that we don't have any equipment with us.  Maybe we can mold a trough in the rocks with our tricorders.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: can you move body outside this nebula?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
*SO* No one has a phaser out there?

Host Voice says:
CO: I can create minimal life.  But they destroyed all other life.  All sentient beings...all ah...mammals

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*FCO*:  I have a tricorder.  No one on my science teams was carrying phasers with them when we arrived.  I'll get in touch with someone from Tactical and see what I can do.  Tierney out.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: I overheard your convo. Sadly, no one in medical has tricorders either as everyone was working on experiments.

Host Voice says:
CTO: The gases you see were from by my movement through the stars.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::waits for the CO to answer her previous comm::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Maybe we can help restore you.  We have seeds, weather control technology.  But you must free us first.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  Aye, we have tricorders cause we were carrying them with us when we were trying to determine what happened on the ship.  But we don't have phasers.  It's not like science needs things like that, ::pauses:: well not like we thought we were going to need it.

Host Voice says:
CO: I cannot be alone

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  You have been alone.  You have survived.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: I understand your pain. What must you need with out taking the crew of the Triton.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Same with medical.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*CTO*:  Sir, I hate to keep bothering you, but do you have an extra phaser that I can borrow to try to mold a trough in the wall inside the cave to capture some water?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  Hopefully tactical has one we can borrow.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  I'll probably need you to determine if the water is drinkable though.

Host Voice says:
CO/CTO: I tried to speak to the other ones.  But their minds were closed.  I caused them to be no more.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  You killed them?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CTO*: Lt, we will gather everyone at the cave's entrance in a few hours. Would it be possible for me to have assistance from your team to gather everyone when time comes? I need a shepherd to bring the sheep home so to speak.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: I have a med tricorder to do so.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*SO* Pleas speak to Brigs with any questions you have. he is in charge while I am away.

Host Voice says:
CO: No..they destroyed themselves.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
*CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::Frowns at the testy Vulcan.::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  They were only trying to escape your grasp.  What makes you think this captivity won't kill us too?

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  I thought Vulcans weren't supposed to be showing emotion.  He sure seems a bit cranky.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CMO* Yes doctor, Brigs will coordinate the effort in my absence.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::gets up and picks up the tricorder she was working on and heads for the cave entrance::

Host Voice says:
CO: You are speaking with me...I am speaking with you.  The others could not.  My words could not get through and their minds folded.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Walks over to Ensign Brigs.::  Ens. Brigs:  Excuse me, Sir, but might you have an extra phaser that I can borrow for a while?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  We will not be happy here with you.  Do you care at all about us?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Captain, there minds were closed to each other, this planet had nothing to do with there execution. They did kill themselves.

Host Voice says:
CO: I cannot be alone

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CTO*: Thanks. Hayes out.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  Even if we hate you, despise what you've taken from us?  That would be better than being alone?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Must be that planet. We hear things, we are magically transported, Vulcans show emotions!

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO: Commander, I have been walking around, and there isn't much of use to us, nothing really to eat or build tools, only rocks

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Brigs> :: takes a phaser away from one of his men::  SO: here you go,  and don't lose it I don't have many.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  They killed themselves because they were trapped.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
OPS:I have a tricorder here and it isn't helping me at all to try to obtain access to remote the Triton.

Host Voice says:
ACTION: The ground starts shaking, enough to throw everyone to the ground but not hard enough to injure and everyone can hear the voice as it cries out: I CANNOT BE ALONE!

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Brigs: I contacted the CTO and he told me to refer to you to get help in a few hours to gather everyone and have them enter the cave. We will do that about an hour before nightfall.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Outloud: Sheesh a planet with an attitude.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::covers ears::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO: It would be a question of range, tricorders are limited

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::thinks they are starting to go around in circles::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: calm yourself. Thing about what you are doing, What is right and wrong.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
OPS: What if we link the tricorders together and extend the range?

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO: You would need to boost the signal but I see nothing powerful enough to serve as an amplifier

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO/FCO:  I don't think reasoning is going to get us very far.

Host Voice says:
CTO: I do not wish to harm.  I cannot survive alone.  I am growing weaker and soon will be no more

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
OPS: There in lies the other problem.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<Brigs> CMO: Yes Doctor, when everyone is ready to go inside, just awaiting the word, my men are standing by.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: It sure looks that way.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  What was that?  ::Pulls out her tricorder and pockets the phaser Brigs gave her.::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  I will stay with you if you let everyone else go.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO: Assuming the ship is not on the other side of the planet it would drain power quickly, you wont have many chances to do it

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: NO captain,  you cannot stay.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Brigs: Thanks, it'll be in a few hours.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: What?

Host Voice says:
CO: You are needed for your persons.  So I will keep your persons here so none will be alone.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Voice: I know you cannot be alone. Perhaps I can find a way to help you. I do understand how you feel. It is strange but I do understand.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  We will be unhappy, and you will die regardless.  ::voice overcome with emotion::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Did the ground just shake?

Host Voice says:
::sad:: CO: Then we will be no more.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
<brigs> ::start coordinating his men to prepare to move everyone inside the cave::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  I felt the ground shaking, ever so slightly.  I am registering it on my tricorder as a minor fluctuation in the rock structure.  Yes, a quake, very small one though.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO/CTO:  It has the mentality of a child.  A spoiled child..

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: Capt, is everything okay inside the caves? We just detected minor fluctuations in the rock structure.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Is the cave still sound enough for us to erect shelter in it later on?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  You are not going to believe this, but the planet itself appears to be sentient, and it was having a temper tantrum.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Being alone for this long would drive anything to that level with out a disciplined mind.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::joking::  CTO:  I don't suppose you could do a mind meld with a planet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::sits down on a rock with Ko'tar walking over to her to sit with her and try to help her::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  It appears to be structurally sound, Doctor.  I don't know about how far back that reading goes though without getting in there and getting a more detailed reading further in.  But from what I can tell, this portion of the cave ::holds her hand up in the air and moves it around the area of the cave she is showing:: appears to be structurally safe.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I could try captain.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: A sentient being? So I guess we should be gentle when moving things around and poking it for answers.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  I think that would be too risky.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Thanks. Did you just hear what the CO said. It seems the whole planet is sentient.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: perhaps get it to understand our situation. I believe that I could handle it.

Host Voice says:
ACTION: The cave begins to get warmer and more inviting.  The moss begins to grow thickly along the walls filling it with a warm light.  Larger patches appear and make soft places to lie and sit on.  As the springs becomes larger and an area become a depression for the water to fill in.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::nearly cries at the CMO's response::  Voice:  Did you hear that?  They are concerned for your welfare despite what you've done to us.

Host Voice says:
CO: I make it nice for you to not leave me alone.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Maybe if we don't play along it will get tired of us.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  Aye, I did.  ::Thinks for a minute.::  Doctor, I am still having difficulties reading others' thoughts.  Do you think that this Being may be interfering with that?  Or do you think there is something wrong with me in general?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
Voice:  My people have loved ones... people they will grieve deeply, and who will suffer for their loss.  Please let us go.  I will stay and keep you company.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Sees the CEO just sitting on a rock.::  CEO:  Commander, are you okay?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
SO: You are not alone Cadet I have had nothing but fog in my mind as I try to contact others that are telepathic.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I can do the meld. I am thoroughly trained  and my mind is very well disciplined.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::desperate:: CTO:  Proceed.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: I do not know why telepaths and empaths are still having problems using their gifts. Since we tried a lot of things on the ship and nothing worked, I'm pretty sure the Being is at cause. We will also have another problem if the whole planet is sentient.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Please come quickly with whatever medical equipment you have.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CEO:  That is right.  You have mind-reading abilities as well.  I cannot use my telepathic abilities at all, and when I try, let's just say I have one hell of a headache.

Host Voice says:
CO: I grieve....I grieve for the millions who were here and are now gone.  ::the pain in the voice can be heard and almost felt:: I cannot grieve anymore...I cannot be alone anymore.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: Aye.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::gives the FCO an 'am I out of my mind' sort of look::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
SO: As do I cadet as do I.  ::holds head::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::places his hands in the Vulcan fashion upon the rock wall:: Out loud: your mind to my mind.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CMO:  If you need my help, just give a holler.  I'll catch you later.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
SO: Make sure the team gathering the rocks do not fire on them until we make sure they are not part of the sentient or won't hurt it. I'll be back as soon as possible. Good luck.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Out load: your thoughts to my thoughts.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: I really don't think that was your best idea ever, with all due respect.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
::Nods to the CMO.::  CMO:  Understood, good luck to you as well.  

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::walks to the makeshift sickbay (aka a pile of medical thingies) and picks up a few hyposprays and whatever could help::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Out loud: our thoughts are one.  :: concentrating hard::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  Probably not, no.

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
FCO:  I would do it myself if I could but whenever I try to stretch my telepathic senses, I'm overcome with headache.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: I'm sure that's significant somehow. Unfortunately, I'm not a doctor so I can't even speculate.

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CEO:  My science teams are bringing rocks in, and now the doctor is telling me these rocks may be alive?  What's next?  Rock people?

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  The CTO is attempting a ::swallows hard::  mind meld with the planet.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::heads towards the cave::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*CO*: What? I'm coming. ::starts to run::

Host Voice says:
ACTION: The CTO slowly sinks into the being of the planet....a being and presence so vast that his mind cannot fathom the enormity.  He can feel the deep sorrow and the aching loneliness the planet has endured for thousands and thousands of years.  He can feel the need to feel life and to have beings living and thriving once again.  As the CTO sinks deeper, he becomes very still and is completely caught in the planet's presence.  He falls to the ground without a sound and does not move, just lies there staring blankly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
SO: Cadet I don't know myself.  I don't know what I sense or feel or for that matter what is going on around me.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Uhm, I don't think that's normal...

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::kneels by the CTO shaking him::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::continues to run as fast as possible to reach where the CO is::

SO_Cadet_Tierney says:
CEO:  Wonder where the doc went off to so quickly.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::a tear is falling down his check over whelmed with grief from the sorrow of the planet and trying to hold back a cry::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::reaches the area where the CO is and notices the CTO's state::

Host CO_Capt_Luchena says:
CTO:  I'm sorry. ::steps back so the CMO can work::
