USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10312.16
Episode 4

Where in the Galaxy…

Enroute Arigula IV for training, the Vesuvius suddenly became engulfed by an ion storm and once clear the crew found themselves in uncharted space.  A plant was detected and the crew set out to explore the earth-like planet. What they found threw them back into time.

Dinosaurs, likened to those of ancient earth roamed and flew in the skies of the planet while an active volcano brought an abrupt end to the crew’s exploration as it began spewing molten lava and hot boulders and setting the forest around the crew on fire.

Escaping the chaos the crew left the planet’s surface and returned to the Vesuvius. While enroute sensors detected another vessel as it also left the erupting surface.  It maintained a respectful distance from the shuttle and Galaxy-class ship.

Returning to the Vesuvius and reaching the Bridge the crew opened communications to this vessel. An insectoid-like species filled the view screen and now Valleck and his aid, Tycex are on the Vesuvius taking a tour of the ship.

During the tour, an unhampered child quickly turned a corner and frightened Valleck and Tycex who unfurled their wings and took a defensive posture. The tense situation was defused and the Captain and his First officer are ready to resume their tour with their guests.

Meanwhile, the FCO has discovered something new that was attached to the nacelles of the shuttle…

FCO Lorehani says:
:: In the shuttle bay watching as everyone evacuates with the exception of her.  She taps her combadge. ::   *CSO*: Cmdr Lane You better get down here...We got ourselves something interesting here.

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits at the science console still trying to figure out a way to get the alien data cube to interface with the Vesuvius' computer ::

CSO Lane says:
*FCO*: Now? What do you have?

XO Stricker says:
:: With the CO and the new alien people taking a tour ::

Host Tycex says:
:: Stands near Valleck ::

Valleck says:
:: Following the humans taking everything he can from the surroundings ::

FCO Lorehani says:
*CSO*: Hitchhikers by the look of it...probably nothing but I'm just a pilot so I need your expert opinion.  Something stuck to the shuttle and returned with us to the ship.  I've evacuated the bay and anyone in contact with these things have been sent to sickbay to be decontaminated.

CSO Lane says:
*FCO*: Very well Lore, on my way.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: She turns and looks at the bucket again and the lava things continue to
pulsate. ::

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: So, I'm interested in learning about your culture.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Continues with the tour ::

Host Tycex says:
XO: As we are of yours, sir

CSO Lane says:
:: Grabs a PADD and heads for the shuttle bay again ::   Self: You just get working on something and then you have to stop.   :: Sighs as she enters the
lift ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Listens to the XO's questioning ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: She shudders at the sight. ::   Out loud: Well I've never seen lava react that way but hey what do I know...Hope is a smart lady she'll figure it out.

Host Tycex says:
XO: What would you like to know, Commander?

XO Stricker says:
Valleck/Tycex: The investigation and noninterference of cultures are of high moral priority in our world.

CSO Lane says:
Computer: Main shuttle bay please.

Valleck says:
CO: Captain, this is a marvelous ship you have

XO Stricker says:
Valleck/Tycex: Do you celebrate any traditions or annual holiday commemorating a new year or the birth of a spiritual leader?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Walks over to one of the containers that holds equipment in the bay and opens it.  She pulls out a tricorder and walks back to the shuttle and begins scanning. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Exits the turbolift and walks into the bay ::   FCO: Well Lore, what do we have?

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks at the XO ::   XO: I'm afraid I don't understand your question, Commander

Host Tycex says:
XO: Traditions?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Thank you, Valleck.  It would be an honor to see yours as well.  What are its parameters for speed and members of your crew?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: A holiday or a tradition, something you celebrate yearly.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks up as Hope enters. ::   CSO: Over here, please tell me there was security outside that door when you entered?   :: She stands up from the crouch that she was in. ::

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: A practice with rituals like an activity done to celebrate an event.

Host Tycex says:
:: Nods ::   We celebrate the emergence of our young...

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks over to Lore ::   FCO: I didn't see anyone.   :: Raises an eyebrow ::

Host Tycex says:
XO: We lament over our dead...

Valleck says:
CO: It roughly the size of yours, as of numbers I don't have the figures on the top of my head

Host Tycex says:
XO Outside of that, what else is there?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Mutters ::   CSO: They must be on their way then...I've ordered the bay sealed off.  Anyway take a look at that bucket there…   :: Nods in the direction ::   …and tell me what you see?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Do you meet in large groups while these events happen?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: No figures?  Are you the commanding officer?

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Sure.   :: Moves to the bucket and takes a look ::

Host Tycex says:
XO: Not always, but it seems the word gets around, Commander

Valleck says:
CO: Of that vessel, no, but I do speak for the Queen

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Listens to the conversation of XO and Tycex and thinks he needs to send Christmas messages to his family ::

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: The CSO sees the lava-like blob pulsating...

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: K'Tepian said she found 38 of them all over the shuttle.  They began pulsating once we got onto the ship.  It looks like lava but it's not reacting like it.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: So your species is based around a queen with drones?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: I'd love to observe one of those gatherings. This month we have a number of holiday's on Earth including Christmas and Chunnakah.

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Interesting formation. Hand me a tricorder will you?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: And Kwanza.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Hands Hope the tricorder she was holding. ::   CSO: So what do you think?

Valleck says:
CO: I don't understand drones, but the Queen is our leader

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans the blob in the bucket ::   FCO: Well it's not mineral, so that rules out the lava theory, but it does seem to be pulsating with some regularity.

Valleck says:
CO: Are you not the speaker for your species?

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: The CSO is able to obtain some unusual bio readings from the blob

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: On this ship, I am.   :: Smiles ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks up at Lore ::   FCO: Stuck to the shuttle you say?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: K'Tepian said like they were joined.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: What can you tell me about this area of space?  Are there any anomalies such as worm holes?

Valleck says:
CO: First off, may I ask what you are doing here in this part of the galaxy?  I have never encountered such as you

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Scans don't detect any radiation but I seem to be getting some sort of bio signs.   :: Stands up ::   Lore, this appears to be a living blob.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Frowns at that thought ::   CSO: So how did they survive the confines of space?  The vacuum should have sucked the life right out of them.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: It is true.  We are not from these parts.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: We are not sure how we got to this part of space which is why we need your star charts.

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Space may be it's natural state. I need to get this to the science lab for further study.

Valleck says:
CO: I can tell you this much, there are no worm holes here.  The charts I gave you should help…but I would stay

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: I don't think so.  If they came from the planet then regenerated here, oxygen would be it's natural state wouldn't it?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: We are quiet a ways from home. I am hoping your maps can help us get back to our homes and maybe we can learn a lot from you and Valleck

Valleck says:
CO: I will also say you need to be on the look out for the V'Rax

CSO Lane says:
FCO: We don't know if they came from the planet at this point.

Host Tycex says:
XO: How far from your home are you?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: If the rest of the inhabitants of this part of space are as friendly as you, it wouldn't be too bad to stay if we had to.  But we'd miss our families.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: What are the positives for staying?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Pretty sure.  I mean not to contradict you ma'am...but we didn't get any of the nodules going down to the planet…and the outer substance is definitely lava.

Valleck says:
CO: Well, I wouldn't say that so soon

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: We are not really sure actually we are hoping those star charts can help us determine where we are

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: V'Rax eh?  Sounds very formidable.

Host Tycex says:
XO: From what part of the Galaxy are you from?

CSO Lane says:
FCO: I need to let Sam...err...the Captain know. Have this transported to science lab one please under full quarantine.

Host Tycex says:
:: Overhears the conversation between Valleck and the CO ::

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: What is known as the Sol system inside the Alpha quadrant

Valleck says:
CO: Oh they are…   :: Pauses like he is thinking ::   …that is why we are here,  they drove us from our homes

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: Commander Lane to Captain Kelson. Come in please sir.

Host Tycex says:
:: Ponders ::   XO: The alpha quadrant?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Nods and smiles at the use of the Capt's name. ::   CSO: Aye Ma'am...
:: Chuckles ::   And don't worry I won't let anyone know of your slip.  I know from what I see you want to form a quad with him.

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Lore quite puzzled ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Excuse me...

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Yes, that is where we are from.  We estimate that we are pretty far from there.

Host CO Kelson says:
*CSO* Kelson here.  Any luck, Ms. Lane?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Walks over to the console and begins locking onto all the nodules and she looks back and sees Hopes puzzled face and laughs. ::   CSO: It's the same thing as getting married in your culture expect unlike us Andorian’s you do it in fours...hmmm, unless you like to share?

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: Sorry to interrupt sir, but we've found something interesting on the hull of the shuttle. Oh and no luck with the star charts yet.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Continues to lock onto the nodules and beams them into science lab one under quarantine. ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore! I don't share men, thank you very much.

Host CO Kelson says:
*CSO*: Interesting?  Scientifically interesting or possibly dangerous?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Is that true, are you in exile?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Laughs out loud. ::   CSO: You wouldn't make a good Andorian then.

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks at Valleck quickly then looks to the XO ::   XO: Yes...in a sense.  We have been driven from our homes

Valleck says:
:: Over hears the captains remarks ::   CO: Is there a problem I might be of assistance?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: No problem, just a new discovery it seems.

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Where we they located? Another star system?

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks at Valleck ::   Valleck: Could it be?

Valleck says:
CO: What better way for our species to get off on the right foot

CSO Lane says:
*CO*: It seems to be some sort of lava encased lifeform. I've had it sent to the lab under full quarantine. As for it being dangerous, there are no signs of that, but it is definitely scientifically interesting.

Valleck says:
:: Looks at Tycex and mutters in a chirping and buzzing sound. ::

Host Tycex says:
:: Distracted momentarily ::   XO: Who, Commander?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Locks onto the last nodule. ::   CSO: All transported Ma'am....   :: Grins at
her ::   Anything else?  You know you are probably right I don't think Humans would know what to do with two husbands and two wives in one relationship.

Host Tycex says:
:: Hangs his head... ::

Host CO Kelson says:
*CSO*: Thank you Ms. Lane.  I'll see if our guests know anything about it.

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: I mean did you travel to this planet after being relocated?

Host CO Kelson says:
*CSO*: Kelson out.

Host Tycex says:
XO: No...this planet is...our...

CSO Lane says:
:: Gives Lore a wink ::   FCO: You're right about that one Lore. I have enough problems trying to figure the Captain out.

Valleck says:
:: Looks down at Tycex ::

Host Tycex says:
:: At a loss for words... ::   XO: Our...incubator

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: We seem to have found a lifeform on our shuttle.  Have you had any dealing with such a lifeform?

Valleck says:
CO: My I see what you have

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Food...all men like food...and...well I'm sure you can figure that one out.  You know you should take the first step…move in with him and see what he says.

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: One of the lava-like blobs begins to crack...

CSO Lane says:
FCO: I'm heading for the lab in case anyone needs me.

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Incubator? So you are bred from here?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Coward...   :: Grins ::   Running from this conversation now aren't you.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Let's head for the lab to take a look.   :: Moves toward turbolift ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Like me to come along or should I head back to the bridge?

Valleck says:
:: Getting a little nervous he follows the CO ::

Host Tycex says:
:: Cocks his head at the XO ::   XO: I don't understand what you mean, Commander...

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   FCO: Yes I am.   :: Leaves the bay smiling, and heads for the lab ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Mr. Stricker, I am taking Valleck to see a new discovery. You and Tycex can come along or continue the tour.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Laughing as Hope leaves. ::   Out loud: I guess it's the bridge.

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks at Valleck ::

Valleck says:
:: Leans to Tycex and mutters ::   Tycex: Mind your senses and remember your place

CSO Lane says:
:: Stops just outside the door ::  FCO: Oh come on. Let's see what we can find out.

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Well in Earth biology sometimes premature babies were put into incubation, it doesn't happen anymore however

XO Stricker says:
CO: Thank you sir, I am learning a lot.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: As she exits the shuttle bay she stops at the console beside the door and taps it. ::   Computer: Initiate decontamination of the shuttle bay…Full decontamination please.

Host Tycex says:
:: Chirps in an obedient tone to Valleck ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Shall we?   :: Motions to the turbolift ::

FCO Lorehani says:
<Computer> FCO: Full decontamination commencing.  The process will take 6 hours.

Host Tycex says:
Valleck: Sir...do you wish me to accompany you?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Lead the way Ma'am.

Valleck says:
CO: Yes, very exited to see what you have

CSO Lane says:
:: Waits for the FCO at the turbolift ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Jurries and catches up to Hope ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Very good then...   :: Enters turbolift ::   Computer: Science labs...

Valleck says:
Tycex: Yes, but mind yourself for what you my see   :: Talking low so the others won't hear them ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: I wonder...   :: Steps into the lift ::   …if that blob was protected by the lava from the effects of space?

CSO Lane says:
Computer: Science lab one.

Host Tycex says:
:: Nods at Valleck and enters the turbolift ::

Valleck says:
:: Getting fidgety on the ride up ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Ponders ::   CSO: Very possible...K'Tepian mentioned something about that…but I'm just a pilot and a head shrink if it comes to that.  Science was never my forte.

Host Tycex says:
XO: In our species, there is an incubation period before our young emerg...

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Exits onto Science deck ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Enters the lab and heads for the quarantine area ::

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: As the CSO and FCO enter Science Lab 1, they find technicians huddled around one of the blobs...

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Huh...I wonder what is going on...   :: Walks over to the small group. ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Enters lab with Valleck ::

Valleck says:
:: Following the captain into the science area ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Sees the huddle ::

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: How long does it take?

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees the techs and moves in front ::   Sci Tech: What's going on here?

Host CO Kelson says:
All: So...what's the big discovery?

Host Tycex says:
:: Thinks ::   XO: About 6 to 8 weeks   :: Enters the science lab behind the CO and Valleck ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to see the Captain ::   CO: Just got here myself Captain.

XO Stricker says:
:: Follows the CO, Tycex and Valleck ::   Tycex: Really?

Host Tycex says:
XO: Yes, our young mature quickly

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: Into full grown beings?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Moves toward the huddled mass of scientists ::

Host Tycex says:
XO: No...they are still very young.  However, they do mature quickly after emergence

CSO Lane says:
<Sci Tech>CSO: Well ma'am, one of these things is cracking. See?   :: Points to the containment area ::

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: The crack has grown wider...

Valleck says:
:: As soon as he enters the labs he sees a sight he thought he might not never see, and lets out high pitch scream for a few seconds, after he finishes he takes out a device, talking to it in his language. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
All: What is that?

XO Stricker says:
Tycex: I am wondering if you'd be interested in coming with me to see a ships Biologist or the medical specialists. I am interested in your DNA and think we could learn quite a bit from ach other

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks quickly in the direction where Valleck is looking and screams with him ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Reacts to Valleck's scream ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Jumps at Valleck's scream ::   All: What is that?

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Is that containment at it's highest level?

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: As the Nacandarians scream, their wings spread...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Hears the scream and turns quickly and sees the alien beings. ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Is it dangerous?

CSO Lane says:
CO: Yes sir, full containment procedures are in effect.

Valleck says:
:: Turns to Tycex ::   Tycex: GO  CHECK THEM NOW

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: A jeweled head has emerged from the blob...then vanishes as the blob disappears in a transporter beam....

Host Tycex says:
:: Nods quickly at Valleck and pushes through the group to the
nodules... ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: What happened?  Where did it go?

CSO Lane says:
:: Gasps ::   CO: Did you see that?

Valleck says:
Tycex: And report as soon as their status is made

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Moves through the crowd with Valleck ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Does a quick scan ::   CO: A transporter beam pulled it away.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: What do I have on my ship?  Is it dangerous?!?

Valleck says:
CO: Were did you get them?  Answer now!

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks quickly at the rest of the nodules ::   Valleck: Emergence of one...the others are soon to follow

CSO Lane says:
Valleck: They were on the hull of the shuttle.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: According to my Chief Science Officer, they were stuck to our shuttle.

XO Stricker says:
CO: What's going on sir?

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Shrugs shoulders at XO ::

Valleck says:
CO: Stuck on the shuttle?   :: He hollers ::   Those are our young!

XO Stricker says:
CO: I'm just as confused as you are.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: How is that possible?

Host Tycex says:
:: Stands over the nodules as a protective mother over her young... ::

Valleck says:
Tycex: You tell me they were safe in the volcano when we left them!

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Where did the transporter originate from?

CSO Lane says:
Valleck: They were encased in a lava shell.

FCO Lorehani says:
Valleck:  It seemed when the volcano exploded your young attached themselves to our shuttle.  We didn't know they were there.

XO Stricker says:
CO: Their young are incubated for 8 weeks sir. Maybe they are trying to protect them

Host Tycex says:
:: Wings out-stretched, eyes whirling in yellow alarm ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: What can we do to protect the rest of your young?  How can we help?

Valleck says:
CO: Lets hope they were not injured.   :: Turns to Tycex ::   Why haven't the rest been beamed out?

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: The other nodules begin to crack open...

Valleck says:
:: He pulls out his device again and speaks in it trying to figure out why the nodes are still here ::

Host Tycex says:
:: Begins to emit a soft, high-pitched sound and begins to flutter his wings ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Checks the readings from her bridge officer ::   CO: Sir, the bridge reports that the signal was from the Nacandarian ship.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Release the force field to help with the transporting.

Valleck says:
CO: Let them be transported captain or we fire on you

CSO Lane says:
CO: Yes Captain.   :: Walks over to the console and turns the containment field
off ::

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: As the force field is released, the other nodules are transported to the Nacandarian ship...

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: If you fire on this ship, you risk damaging your young.  Are you willing to do that?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: Give us the benefit of the doubt.  We meant no harm.

FCO Lorehani says:
XO: Do you want me to call security just in case?   :: Whispers to him ::

Valleck says:
:: Wings flare out and he raise his head as high as it will go ::   CO: Yes I am

Host Tycex says:
:: Watches the rest of the nodules disappear ::   Valleck: The young encasings are transported to our ship, sir

Host Tycex says:
:: Tucks his wings back into place ::

XO Stricker says:
FCO: Good idea, move to a medium security level

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Lore and then at Sam ::

Valleck says:
:: Relaxes a little ::   Tycex: Contact our ship, check status and inform me

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Belay that!  Stand down all security!

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Nods and walks over to the console and speaks quietly into it…raising the security level without any verbal warnings or...then discontinues it. ::

XO Stricker says:
CO: Acknowledged...   FCO: Stand down security

FCO Lorehani says:
XO: Stood down.

Host Tycex says:
:: Nods and hits a button on an wrist bracelet ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: It's your move, Valleck.  Friends or foes?

Valleck says:
CO: Are you trying our hospitality Captain?  You bring me to ship and this is how a host entertains a guest?   :: Speaking rather angry::

CSO Lane says:
:: Watches the crowd and wonders what Valleck will do now ::

Host Tycex says:
Valleck: The crew report the young are well...emergence will occur very, very soon

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: It is what it is, Valleck.  I have no answer other than we were unaware of what the lifeform was.

Valleck says:
Tycex: Very good…splendid!  Report back we will be returning very soon

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: It is up to you to choose what you believe.

Host Tycex says:
:: Nods and chirps into the wrist communicator ::

Valleck says:
CO: It's not just the eggs, some members of your species wanted to bring hostilities here   :: Looks to the XO ::

XO Stricker says:
Valleck: Humans?

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: It is my First Officer's job to protect the ship.  If you threaten it, he is forced to make moves to do so.

CSO Lane says:
:: Stares at the XO and wonders what Valleck means ::

FCO Lorehani says:
Valleck: We are not an invading force...   :: For some reason she is insulted by this. ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: I took a chance on your logical side and understanding of the situation.

XO Stricker says:
Valleck/Tycex: The Captain is right, it's not my place.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Looks at FCO to keep her place for now ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Nods at the Captain and listens for a change. ::

Valleck says:
CO: Do you not control your species better?  You are the one who said you speak for them

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves quietly to Lore's side and nudges her as she whispers ::   FCO: Let the Captain handle this one. You know how males are.   :: Winks ::

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: I do.  And I overrode his order.  But he was right to react in such a way after your reaction to the eggs.

Host CO Kelson says:
Valleck: I will never want to control a member of my species.  They are all free thinkers.  If fact, I rely on that fact.

XO Stricker says:
Valleck: It's my job to keep the Captain and personnel safe, that is the job of a First Officer.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Raises eyebrows. ::   CSO: Don't I know it...got to show who has the most muscles.  Not all of it in their heads either.

Host Tycex says:
:: Looks to Valleck as explanations are given ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks Sam up and down ::   FCO: So right Lore, so right.

Valleck says:
CO: Well, Captain…you are very strange species and we  leave it at that, we have come for what we came for   :: He looks at Tycex and touches a button on his wrist to beam out ::

Host Tycex says:
ACTION: Valleck and Tycex disappear...

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  Men!

XO Stricker says:
FCO: Track their transport.

Host CO Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you for your attempt to protect the ship, Lt.

CSO Lane says:
:: Giggles at the FCO's remark ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: And you too, Mr. Stricker.

XO Stricker says:
CO: Thank you sir...

FCO Lorehani says:
CO: Welcome Sir..

Host CO Kelson says:
FCO: Maybe you should trust my ability at diplomacy, Lt.   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Kelson says:
FCO: In the future...

CSO Lane says:
:: Grabs Sam's arm ::   CO: Captain...   :: Pulls him aside ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins ::   CO: It wasn't your diplomacy I was doubting...and in the future Sir…I'll let them trample on you first then ask questions   :: Winks at him ::   So where are we off to so I can set a course?

Host CO Kelson says:
*Bridge* Kelson to bridge.  Send a message of thanks to the Nacandarian vessel.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: A member of the science team gets the cube left by the Nacandarians to connect with the computer...

Host CO Kelson says:
*Bridge* As well as our apologies.

Host CO Kelson says:
*Bridge* Kelson out.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Yes, Ms. Lane?

CSO Lane says:
CO: Sam, I just got a message from one of my people. They got the computer to interface with that data cube.

Host CO Kelson says:
FCO/CSO: Let's go see if we can find our way home.

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles ::   CO: Agreed sir.

Valleck says:
@:: Sitting on the bridge of his ship watching the alien vessel at close range waiting ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: As the computer attempts to interact with the alien cube, gibberish is all that is received from it...

Host Sheri says:
