USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
From Dust to Dust
Episode 6

Having received information regarding several attacks on colonies near the Romulan Neutral Zone the Vesuvius was ordered to Dyrian III, where the attacked turned deadly. Starfleet Intelligence information indicated the attacks were not of Romulan forces, but from a new, unidentifiable threat and that the Romulans are also being attacked
by this unidentifiable force.

Arriving at Dyrian III an Away Team contacted archeologist KaRyn Kehari. The CTO and CSO found some type of odd reading at the archeological site and theorized some kind of possible energy weapon's signature was used in the attacks. Kehari turned over a trunk filled with artifacts she had in her tent.  She believed these to be part of some type of some type of light amplification technology.

The Vesuvius is now in possession of these relics; the CEO is trying to determine if the pieces are a part of a light amplification system while the CO and CSO met with KaRyn Kehari.  After a brief explanation, the CO ordered the Vesuvius to set course for the water world of Hydora.

While enroute Hydora the mystery plaguing sensors revealed an unusual ship. Seemingly transparent, it is theorized to occupy several dimensions in space.  The vessel has now vanish and the Vesuvius continues on to Hydora.

XO Horn says:
:: On the bridge while the Captain is away ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: At the flight console holding steady for Hydora...warp 9.5 ::

XO Horn says:
FCO: What is our ETA?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: In Captain's dining room with CSO and Dr. Kehari ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Taps her console ::   XO: 30 min Ma'am.

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over the table and smiles ::   CO: Well Captain, this looks very nice.

XO Horn says:
FCO: Thank you

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Yes.  Flint did a superb job.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Is there anything special you require doctor?

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CSO: No thank you.  I can eat just about anything.   :: Smiles ::

XO Horn says:
FCO: Getting comfortable in your new position?

EO Tomari says:
:: On the shuttle in orbit around Hydora ::   Pilot: Scan for the Vesuvius, and give me her ETA till arrival.

ACTION:  Sensors pick up the blip again.  It disappears as quickly as it appears

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks down at Commander and then at Sam ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: So what will we find at our new destination, doctor?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Making a slight course correction...she slightly bops to music from the headphones she has in her ears. ::   XO:  The blip is back Ma'am...grrrrr missed it.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: Hydora is a water planet, Captain.  You'll find...water

CSO Lane says:
:: Giggles a little at the doctor's answer ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Looks innocently at the CO ::

XO Horn says:
:: Notices the FCO bopping in her seat ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::  Kehari: Thank you, doctor.  More specifically, where is it that we will hide these artifacts?

Shuttle Pilot says:
EO: Sir, they should be here in about half an hour.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: You mentioned that the artifacts would be safe there, is that correct?

EO Tomari says:
Pilot: Thank you. Let me know when they are within hailing range.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO/CSO: More will be revealed once we arrive, Captain

ACTION:  The Guard is starting to regain consciousness

Shuttle Pilot says:
EO: Aye sir

XO Horn says:
:: Notices the FCO enjoying her job ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: I don't like going blind into this situation.  I would like more answers before we arrive.  :: Looks straight at Kehari ::

XO Horn says:
FCO: What is so entertaining?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns and looks slightly embarrassed, but really isn't. ::  XO: Andorian Folk Music Ma'am... helps me concentrate... would you like to listen?

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO:  Captain, I can't give you any more at this time.  Besides, you rushed to get the ship enroute without asking further questions

ACTION: The guard begins to cough

CSO Lane says:
:: Places her fork on the side of her plate and folds her napkin neatly ::

XO Horn says:
FCO: I like Elvis myself

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: We rushed due to your feelings in the matter.  I would have been very content to stay where we were and wait for another appearance from these phantom attackers.

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  I listened to him while on earth...never got him…his hips were out of control...really distracting.  I take it earth females like that?   :: Quick look down at the console... ::   ETA is now 10 min.

CMO Storm says:
:: Moves to the guard, returning her attention from the book she was getting into. ::  Guard: Are you okay?

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: Captain, it is...difficult to explain unless you see the planet

CSO Lane says:
:: Glances at the doctor ::  Kehari: Can you give me idea where exactly on Hydora we will be going or rather placing the artifacts?

XO Horn says:
FCO: Are you saying that I like gyrating hips?

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CSO: Under her surface, Commander

FCO Lorehani says:
:: With a straight face. ::   XO: Do you?

CMO Storm says:
:: Reaches for her medical tricorder, which slips from her belt and lands on the floor. :: 
Self: Dear bloody mercy...   :: Reaches down and picks it up ::   Oh my...I sound like Jim.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Bites back a giggle. ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Dabs at her lips, then places the napkin next to her plate ::   CO: An enjoyable dinner.

XO Horn says:
:: Unsure if the new FCO is making a joke or if she is serious. ::

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO*: Kelson to Horn.  ETA to Hydora.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods to doctor. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Winks at the XO as she turns back to her console. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Hearing the Comm ::   Self: Saved by the bell

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Go ahead

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at the Captain and smiles knowing that at least he won't be flying down there ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Scans the guard with the medical tricorder ::   Guard: You're going to be fine. I'm going to be fine.

XO Horn says:
*CO*: ETA is 9mins 35 sec

Injured Guard says:
CMO: Am I still on the...what's the name of this ship?

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO*: Thank you.  We'll be on the bridge in a moment.  Kelson out.

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Want me to hail the planet?

CMO Storm says:
Guard: This is the...ah...Vesuvius. The U.S.S. Vesuvius.

Shuttle Pilot says:
EO: Sir, they are within hailing distance.

EO Tomari says:
Pilot: Open channel

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO*: Yes.  Hail them, Commander.  I'll be right there.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Stands ::

Injured Guard says:
CMO: What happened?  I was...on duty, and now I'm here

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Stands as the Captain does ::

EO Tomari says:
COM: Vesuvius: This is the shuttle Gemini, I believe you are expecting a transferring Engineer.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: In a mischievous mood. ::   XO: You know Ma'am I have this brother he is looking for a fourth member for a quad he would like to marry into...   :: Begins programming for preparation for standard Orbit. ::

CMO Storm says:
Guard: I...need you to answer that. I have no idea what happened to you. Well...except that you were shot.

CSO Lane says:
:: Stands and moves over closer to Sam ::

XO Horn says:
:: Moves over to the OPS station ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO/Kehari: I think it's time we return to the bridge.  After you ladies.

XO Horn says:
:: Stops in her tracks and looks at the FCO to determine if she heard correctly ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to the doctor ::   Kehari: After you ma'am.   :: Motions to the door ::

Injured Guard says:
CMO:  I really don't remember much.  All of a sudden I heard a sound...then I woke up here

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Chuckles and decides maybe she should wait till she displays her sense of humor. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Shakes her head and continues to the OPS Station ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Moves to the door and out to the corridor ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Leans in to CSO ::  CSO: Hope, I don't trust this lady.  I hope we are not walking into a trap.

CSO Lane says:
:: Follows Kehari ::

EO Tomari says:
COM: Vesuvius: This is the shuttlecraft Gemini, transporting LTJG Tomari.

XO Horn says:
:: Opens a channel to the planet ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns as she walks and nods to Sam ::

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  We are nearing the Planet Ma'am...Would you like me to place on viewer?

ACTION:  Sensors pick up a vessel coming towards the Vesuvius at high speed

XO Horn says:
FCO: Standard orbit and yes, put it on the viewer please

XO Horn says:
:: Sees another transmission ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Activates the viewer ::  XO:  Standard orbit aye....  I'm also picking up another vessel heading towards us like their pants are on fire.

XO Horn says:
COM: Gemini: Understood, please co-ordinate with the FCO and dock in Bay 1

CMO Storm says:
:: Taps her combadge, waits for a second ::  Guard: Are you...strong enough to...explain what happened to you?

EO Tomari says:
COM: Vesuvius: Understood, sir.

XO Horn says:
FCO: Is it the shuttle or another ship

CSO Lane says:
Kehari/CO: If you will excuse me. I think I should check in with science.  :: Bows slightly and heads over to science one ::

Injured Guard says:
CMO: I'm sorry doctor...that is all I can remember right now....  I was on duty, then woke up here

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Refines her sensors. ::  XO: Not the shuttle although it is in orbit around the planet..  :: Double checks ::  Its...Romulan.  :: Looks over at Horn ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Begins to dock in Bay 1::

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Correction, the shuttle is now docking in shuttle bay 1.

CSO Lane says:
Bond: Anything I need to know about James? :: Smiles and looks down at the sensor readings::

XO Horn says:
All: Red Alert

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: What do we have, Commander.  :: Moves to command ::

CMO Storm says:
Guard: Oh. But we need more information.  :: Thinks ::  Self: I could always use cortical stimulators...to stimulate the portion of the brain responsible for memory.

XO Horn says:
CO: Romulan ship approaching at high speed

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Walks onto the bridge and towards the back near the CSO ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Lands the shuttle just as the shields go up ::

XO Horn says:
CO: Shuttle just docked with our new EO

Injured Guard says:
CMO: I'm sorry doctor...   :: Sighs ::   I just can't remember

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

EO Tomari says:
:: Exits the shuttle and heads for the bridge ::

XO Horn says:
CO: We are in orbit around the planet

CSO Lane says:
:: Hears the XO and leans over the console. ::  Bond: Take science two please.  :: Watches as he moves away ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: And the red alert?

ACTION: The Vesuvius is hailed by the Romulan vessel

XO Horn says:
CO: For the Romulan ship that is approaching.

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: I guess that might be them now...

CSO Lane says:
XO: Commander, shall I scan that ship?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CSO ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods :: Guard: I understand. It happens.

XO Horn says:
CSO: Yes please

EO Tomari says:
:: Enters the bridge and approaches the XO, PADD in hand ::  XO: My orders sir.  :: Hands the XO his orders ::

XO Horn says:
CO: Maybe I should have gone to Yellow Alert?

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: I am Toral, Commander of the Raven.  I require communication with your Captain

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to both the Captain and first officer and begins scanning ::

XO Horn says:
:: Taps a few buttons ::  CO: The channel is open for you

CMO Storm says:
:: Moves to press her combadge, realizes she already did ::  *XO*: Storm to Commander... umm...Horn. The guard has informed me that he cannot remember anything more than a noise and waking up on the ship.

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: This is Captain Samuel Kelson.  What business do you have here?

CMO Storm says:
:: Thinks ::  Guard: What noise did you hear?

XO Horn says:
:: Takes PADD from the EO ::  EO: Thank you. Please take your station.

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: It has come to the attention of the Romulan Star Empire that the Federation has had colonies near the Neutral Zone that have been attacked

EO Tomari says:
XO: Yes, sir.  :: Mans the Engineering Console ::

XO Horn says:
*CMO*: Understood. Thank you. Keep us posted

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: And if that is the case, what concern is it of yours?

XO Horn says:
:: Glares at the EO for being called a 'Sir' ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Whispers to the XO ::  XO: Scans normal ma'am. Nothing unusual about that ship.

XO Horn says:
:: Whispers back ::  CSO: Is the ships weapons powered up?

EO Tomari says:
:: Feeling her glare he looks long enough to see not to call her sir anymore ::

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: Captain, Romulan colonies near the Neutral Zone have been attacked as well.  I have come to see if you have any information.  We have determined it is not the Federation who is attacking us

EO Tomari says:
:: Begins to run routine diagnostics ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Whispers again. ::  XO: No ma'am. No weapons powered up.

XO Horn says:
CSO: That is good news

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: Captain...I understand there are those in your Federation who do not trust Romulans

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: I assure you...I am here to find some answers and require your help

XO Horn says:
:: Moves back to the center of the bridge and stands next to the CO ::

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: You have quite the nerve to cross the border knowing we would suspect the Romulans.

Injured Guard says:
CMO:  Any chance I can get something to drink, Doc?

EO Tomari says:
:: Getting distracted by the conversation he attempts to get a reading telepathically from the Romulan ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks back at Kehari to see what she's doing ::

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: I understand, Captain.  It is a chance I am willing to take...to preserve the delicate peace between our peoples

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: You can assure me all day but we have not determined a Romulan ship did NOT attack our colonies.

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods ::  Guard: Sure. Maybe a drink can...refresh your memory. :: Smiles and moves to the replicator, she made a joke :: What would you like?

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: CO: Do you have any rogue ships in this sector?

EO Tomari says:
:: Walks up to the XO ::  XO: Ma'am, if I may offer some insight?

XO Horn says:
:: Turns to the EO ::  EO: Yes, what is it?

Host Toral says:
:: Nods ::   COM: CO: There are no rogue ships in this sector Captain, and I am willing to be at your command.  Our people have determined some kind of energy weapon was used in the attacks on our colonies

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: We have never seen this type of weapon before

Injured Guard says:
CMO: Water is good, doc...thanks

CSO Lane says:
:: Ears perk up at the mention of an energy weapon ::

EO Tomari says:
XO: I believe he's telling the truth...I feel no deception from him.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Leans to XO ::  XO: What do you think?

XO Horn says:
EO: Thank you. That is useful

EO Tomari says:
:: Nods and returns to his stations ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods :: Computer: One ice cold water please.

XO Horn says:
:: Leans into the CO ::  CO: Our EO says that he is telling the truth

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves from her station to the Captain's chair and whispers. ::  CO: Sir the artifacts.....  :: Stops ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Nice to have a Betazoid on board again...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Studies the planet before her on the screen and shudders... ::  Self: Too much water..

CMO Storm says:
:: Watches the water materialize... picks up the glass, and moves to the guard ::  Guard: One ice cold water. :: Hands it to him ::

XO Horn says:
CO: Very nice :: Smiles ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: I know, Lt.  We need to keep them safe.

Injured Guard says:
:: Takes the water ::   CMO: Thanks Doc    :: Drinks it slowly ::

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: What is it that you want from us, Toral?

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: Specifically...

Host Toral says:
:: Smiles ::   COM: CO: An...exchange of information, Captain.

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Would you like to come aboard our ship to exchange this information?

CSO Lane says:
CO: No sir, not that. Remember, I mentioned that some of them may be part of an energy weapon?

CMO Storm says:
Guard: No problem. Part of my job is pleasing my patients.

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: We are aware of archeological digs going on near the Romulan Neutral Zone.  We are also aware of attacks on two of those sites.

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: At this time I would just like the Raven to accompany you, if we can, sir

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Would you like them to assist you in your research?

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, I just need their data. I have the CEO working on the reconstruction.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CSO: Commander, has your engineering department determined if the relics are a part of a light amplification system?

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: CO: I can offer no guarantees, Toral.  But I can inform others in the sector of your presence.

XO Horn says:
:: Whispers ::  CO: It would be useful to have another ship with us if we meet up with the ghost ship again

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to Kehari ::  Kehari: I have the chief working on it doctor, but I haven't had a report from him in the past little while.

Host Toral says:
:: Nods ::   COM: CO: I understand, Captain.  If you so wish it, I will return to Romulan space and bother you no more...   :: Grins ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Nods ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Unless the ghost ship IS another Romulan ship.

Injured Guard says:
CMO:  Can I get off this...bed, Doc?

Host Toral says:
:: Hears the Captain ::   COM: CO: I can assure you, Captain, that is NOT a Romulan ship.  We have detected it as well

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: Far be it from me to run you off.  Just don't expect me to be the first in line to protect a Romulan vessel.

CMO Storm says:
:: Stands ::  Guard: Umm... sure. :: Smiles ::

Host Toral says:
COM: CO: No protection is necessary, Captain.

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  You know Ma'am, the Romulans maybe able to determine what kind of cloaking device this ghost ship is using...if so then we should be able to track it better.   :: Whispers ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks over to Kehari ::  Kehari: Would you like to take a look at the work so far? I'd be pleased to escort you to the lab.

Host CO Kelson says:
COM: Toral: Assume orbit.  We will be here for a short while.  Kelson out.

CMO Storm says:
:: Walks towards the nearest computer, whispers ::  Computer: Erect a level 8 force field around sickbay. Authorization Storm Bermuda 8 Intrepid Gold.

XO Horn says:
:: Nods her head acknowledging the FCO comment ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
::  Shakes her head ::   CSO: Thank you, but I would prefer to stay here, if that is alright

ACTION: The view screen returns to the planet below

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: I want those artifacts taken to the safe place you spoke of, doctor.  We are here.  Now I demand answers!

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Stops short for a moment. ::  XO: Did the Romulan's say they were tracking the vessel?

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: As you wish doctor, but I would think that you would want to see what we've done so far.

XO Horn says:
FCO: Yes they said that they have encountered it also.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns music down. ::  XO: Never mind.. detected not tracked...

CMO Storm says:
:: Moves from the console ::  Guard: So, what's your name? That way...I don't have to refer to you as the sick guard all the time.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CSO:  I would like to see, however, since we are now in orbit of the planet, I must communicate with her people

Injured Guard says:
CMO: Garth is my name, doc...Garth Guardian

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::  Kehari: Of course.  :: Walks back to science one still thinking that the doctor is hiding something. ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Blinks ::  Guard: Garth, I don't know why...but that sounds familiar.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: Captain, if you can open a channel, I can communicate with the people on Hydora

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods to OPS to open a channel ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: Channel open, doctor.  Let's get this show on the road.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
COM: Hydora:   Shalom, my brethren.  It's been a long time since I have seen the waters of my homeland.  Please, allow us to communicate

CSO Lane says:
:: Continues to scan the area just in case the Romulans have friends near by ::

ACTION:  A face fills the screen

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Turns attention to the screen ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Switches to short range scan and monitors the planet now. ::

Hondric says:
COM: Kehari: Shalom, my sister.  It has indeed been a long time.  What news have you?

XO Horn says:
::Continues to watch the bridge crew work ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
COM: Hondric: I have relics believed to be from the Knosis

Hondric says:
COM: Kehari: Then come, sister.  We welcome you home.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Looks at CSO and nods ::

ACTION: The view screen shows the planet below

CMO Storm says:
:: Thinks ::  Garth: So Garth, how long have you...been a guardian?

XO Horn says:
:: Whispers to the CO ::  CO: I do not like this

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: Captain, I require a vessel that can transverse water

CSO Lane says:
:: Shakes her head at the sensor readings ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: So you knew the whole time where the relics were from.

Injured Guard says:
CMO:  Not long...I was only assigned there about a month ago

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Nods ::   CO: Guilty as charged, Captain

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: And you used us to get you here.  Why?

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods ::  Garth: Is this your first time being shot?

CSO Lane says:
:: Listens to Kehari and the Captain with interest ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: My apologies, Captain.  My means of transportation was...destroyed.  I felt the Federation needed to know who the Knosis are

XO Horn says:
:: Gets interested in the conversation ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: I believe you need an escort to the planet.  Do you have a problem with that?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Alex and shrugs ::

XO Horn says:
CO: I highly recommend against this

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Shakes her head ::   CO:  No, Captain.  I do not.

XO Horn says:
CO: She lied to us and now we are doing what she wants us to do. I think we need the truth first

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Looks over to the XO ::  XO: Begging your pardon, Commander, but all will be safe with me

EO Tomari says:
:: Overhearing the XO, he tries to get a reading off of Kehari ::

XO Horn says:
Kehari: Is that another lie?

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: We are not a taxi service, Commander.  If we are here, we need to find out more about this Knosis.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Antenna twitch regarding the conversation behind her. ::   Self: The woman says she wanted the Federation to know something but lies to us....not very honorable...would get her dead back home.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
XO: No...it is not, Commander

XO Horn says:
CO: Exactly. We need to know everything before we do anything

EO Tomari says:
:: Steps up to the XO ::  XO: Sir... if I may...

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Nods ::   CO: I understand, Captain, and I'm willing to tell your crew everything

XO Horn says:
:: Looks to the EO ::

XO Horn says:
EO: Yes?

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Doctor, so all this work we've been doing on trying to piece this so called light amplification system together, was just to keep us occupied until we got you back home?

EO Tomari says:
XO: I sense no deception from Kehari...she is undoubtedly telling the truth.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
:: Looks at the CSO ::   CSO: Yes...I'm afraid so, Commander.

XO Horn says:
EO: Thank you

CSO Lane says:
:: Glares at the doctor and clenches her fists at her sides ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: Nice...Not the best way to get someone to trust you.  Why couldn't you just come clean in the first place?

XO Horn says:
CO: I think we need to have this discussion in the ready room and have the truth now

EO Tomari says:
:: Nods and steps aside ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: I think the truth is down below the surface of that planet, Commander.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: The accounting of the Knosis by the C'stelan's was disturbing enough, Captain.  I had found additional proof of something that happened a very long time ago.

EO Tomari says:
:: Returns to his station ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Listening ::

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO:  It was not something I felt ready to share...I wasn't sure how to explain it to the Federation

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns and calls engineering ::  *CEO*: This is Commander Lane. Stop what you're doing and return to your normal duties.

CEO says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged, Commander

Host CO Kelson says:
Kehari: We deserve answers, doctor.  If no one is willing to make the first step, I will.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: More of the answers lie below the surface Captain.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: You are welcomed to arm yourselves if you wish

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Commander.  Organize an away team.

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
CO: But I can tell you, that won't be necessary

XO Horn says:
Kehari: It is necessary

Host KaRyn Kehari says:
XO: Understood.  Then, please...do what you feel you must

CSO Lane says:
