SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Sitting at his station, running the obelisk's riddle through the computer, breaking it down into mathematical language and looking for patterns -- a long shot, but anything helps at this point.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::On the bridge, looking over the transcript of the poem::
Host Selene says:
::on one of the beds in Sickbay, in serious but stable condition::
Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Reading the data on Selene and Anis he's managed to translate so far.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Take a look at the last stanza...the "scion" could be an ancestor of the original inhabitants of the planet, and the "perfect key" could be referring to a series of musical tones.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Treating one of the dozens of minor injuries the crew has suffered, finally getting to it after a solid hour of work::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Nods, looking up from his station, a little haggard from constant work with little sleep and stimulants.:: CO: It could be. A 'scion' is traditionally an heir or claimant. As for the 'perfect key...' it could be any number of things.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Wipes sweat from his brow while leaned over an anesthetized body. This patient he had had to stop some internal bleeding... others had been even worse.:: EMT: All right, Shannen, this one is ready to be moved back to her quarters. ::Sigh.::
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Is shaking with fatigue.::
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::steps off the lift and looks around the bridge.::
Host Selene says:
::looking past her feet to the other alien, whose name she thought was Anis::
Host Selene says:
ACTION: Several of the distant lights inside the obelisk go out.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: If I'm correct we would need Selene...or possibly Anis, to act as intermediary
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: Right away Doctor. ::looks at his condition:: Do you need a stimulant shot Sir?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
CO: Provided either one is a 'scion,' and that we can figure out the 'key.'
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::hits the switch on his armrest:: *COM*: Commander, how is it going with our guests?
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Delegates her two other EMTs to roll the patient back to her quarters::
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Chuckles.:: EMT: That would make four... No, I'll be fine. ::Watches as the first body is moved from the central table and another one--he had stopped noticing that these were actual people quite a while ago--is plopped in front of him. Great, he thinks, more blood...::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Moves over to start cleaning and preparing the patient for surgery::
Cmdr_McQuade says:
*CO*:  Slow going Captain, but we are making steady progress.  ::Looks down at the data again.::  I've uploaded another set of data into the UT in the hopes we can communicate faster.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::leans against a clear bit of bulkhead and holds his head::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*COM*: Relay the information from the obelisk if you can - they may be of help. Keep me apprised.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
EMT: How many more, Petty Officer?
Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene:  Selene can you tell me more about this obelisk?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
SELF: 'Silent voices...' ::Folds his arms across his chest, thinking with furrowed eyebrows.::
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Removes his gloves and prepares himself for the next patient.::
Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Looks down at his notes in the hopes he translated that correctly.::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: That's the last surgical case Sir, I can handle the rest, mostly bumps, bruises, and road rash.
Host Selene says:
::can't take it any more and tries to remove the restraints:: Outloud: You can't leave him ('i 'ma.) He shouldn't be ('i 'ma)... ::gesturing to Anis::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Stands from his station.:: CO: Permission to go and have a word with our guests?
Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene:  He is wounded and needs medical treatment.  There are guards outside.  What is his crime?
Host Selene says:
::still struggling with the straps:: COM: What Obelisk?
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Granted
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Nods, making his way to the turbolift. On the way to sickbay, he takes the time to smooth his uniform, and makes a mental note to shave -- mentally berating himself for his tired appearance.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::opens the com again:: *Chap*: Chaplin Feare, please report to the bridge.
Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Turns on one of the monitors and replays images of the obelisk recorded before they entered.::  Selene:  This obelisk.  Your people must have seen this on sensors.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Sighs again and sets to work, making clean cuts. He doesn't look up to speak.:: EMT: And what about you? Are you holding up? ::Motions for her to hand him one of the nearby tools.::
Host Selene says:
::eyes open wide:: COM: What is that?
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::clears his throat:: CO: A step ahead of you Captain.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Steps out of the turbolift, and enters sickbay, walking up to the commander and Selene.::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Finishes cleaning up the patient and setting up the sterile field for surgery:: MO: I'm a firefighter Sir, I'm used to working 24 on/48 off. I'll be fine. After you are done here I can watch things while you take a break.
Host Selene says:
ACTION: Several more distant lights inside the Obelisk go out.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene:  This is what we are assuming destroyed your planet.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene:  Have you no records of this?
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::looks around:: Chap: My apologies. I'd like your take on the Obelisk, the poem in specific
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
COM: Commander, permission to talk with our guest?
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Glances over at the "guests" that have partially taken over his sacrosanct medical bay. He sighs once more, and gives Shannen a weak smile.::
Host Selene says:
::reaches out a shaky hand toward the image and then looks at Anis:: COM/Anis: Is this our punishment?
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*SO*: More of the lights on the obelisk are going dark
Host Selene says:
ACTION: One of the indicators on Fawkes' console on the bridge comes alive, beeping softly.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Notices the MO's glance:: MO: Not to worry Doc, I'll certainly keep me eyes on THOSE two. I'll see they don't get up to any mischief.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Furrows his eyebrows, and then goes to the panel on the wall.:: *CO* Captain... do you have the timing between the lights going out?
Host Anis says:
:: would cross his arms, but seems to still be restrained ::  Selene: If be it, you die.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
SO: Yes feel free Ensign.  I'm still collecting data and trying to get down to the bottom of this obelisk thing.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: Ok.  ::Heads to the situation board and picks up a PADD, than finds the poem and begins looking at it.::
Host Selene says:
ACTIONS: More distant lights inside the obelisk go out.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::moves to science:: *SO*: They appear to be accelerating in pace
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Passes tools, does the suction, and cleans up the working area as required::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene: So you had no warning about this obelisk?  It just appeared over your planet?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: *CO*: Could be a countdown, captain, waiting for an answer.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
*CO*: I'll get back to as soon as I can.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*SO*: Agreed. We'd better come up with a solution fast
Host Selene says:
Anis: We do not deserve this. We played no part. ::voice pleading as she looks up at McQuade with haunted eyes:: COM: It can only be our destroyer.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Moves back to Selene.:: Selene: Selene. Do you remember me? Fawkes?
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Selene:  What destroyer?  Is this something you created or is it part of your past?
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Wipes his forehead with his forearm once again. He has finished the procedure.:: EMT: Done! Thankfully, that went well... ::He glances down at the unconscious man's face and looks surprised, as if he has just remembered that what he has been cutting, slicing, and otherwise messing with was in fact another crewmember.:: EMT: What's his name, Shannen?
Host Selene says:
COM: I don't know. I don't know. ::slumps shoulders and looks at Fawkes:: SO: Can you save us?
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::pages through the riddle:: CO: Looks like someone asking for a password.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*SO*: It appears that the obelisk is ruptured in some way, I'm reading heavy metals seeping into the interior
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: This is Crewman Pierce Sir... he works in the Galley.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
Chap: I was thinking musical tones, its reference to "perfect key"
Host Selene says:
ACTION: As the captain says it, a slice of light appears in the distance, like a red cat's eye as the cloud of debris of the dying planet Elaysia seeps in.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Registers the captain's message.:: Selene: I'm trying. Selene, are your people the only people to live on the planet?
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Makes a few more notes and turns to Anis.::  Anis:  Are you responsible for bringing the obelisk here?
MO_Ens_Huang says:
Self/EMT: He's too cute for this... he should be back home on Earth with a partner, not here being thrown around a starship... ::Shakes his head and calls over another  EMT:: EMT2: You can take him.
Host Selene says:
::nods at Fawkes::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
<EMT2> MO: Yes Doctor. ::rolls the patient out to his quarters::
Host Anis says:
:: tilts his head, finding the translated voice odd :: COM: Other responsible for bringing me here.
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: All the displays on the ship stop showing what they were showing before and fill up with text once more.
Host Obelisk says:
*SHIPWIDE*: What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do. What must I do.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Looks up at the speakers:: Outloud: Bloody hell... someone get that thing some valium!
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis:  Are you part of the Obelisk?
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Looks around at the medical scanners that have gone haywire.:: EMT: What's this? Damnit! ::Slaps the side of the imaging chamber.::
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: CO: If it is than it would...::narrows his eyes at the situation table:: CO: It would probably be a song of some type, the planet's inhabitant's would be where I would look.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
Chap: That’s what I was thinking
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
Selene: Are there any songs from the ancient days of your people? Any legends about another world, or another place? Anything like that?
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: Several more lights blink out, and then distant explosions replace them.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*COM*: How is it going? Have you made any progress?
Host Anis says:
COM: Know I nothing of your <strange object>.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: Oh, that's just the ship coming unstuck again Sir, pay it no mind. ::smirks:: Shall I get you something, or would you like to lie down for a bit?
Host Selene says:
::seems to be crying, but not in the human fashion:: SO: No. We were the chosen. The blessed. Elaysia is paradise. ::wracked with grief:: Paradise is lost.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
*CO*:  Selene says the obelisk is their destroyer and says Anis may have something to do with it.  It’s all I've got so far Captain.  I think its looking for input of some kind.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*COM*: I'm going to give my idea a try
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
Selene: Why is paradise lost, Selene?
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Shakes his head emphatically.:: EMT: I've had my share of rough days myself, Petty Officer... tend to the others, please, I'll make further arrangements here.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis:  You are not Elaysian,  where do you come from?
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::moves to operations:: Chap: Say a prayer for me Chaplin
Host Anis says:
COM: From <home?> come.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: Aye Sir. I'd best go make rounds and check on the more serious cases, my other EMTs will help. Give us a call if you need us.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::begins transmitting a series of musical tones, melodically related, with underlying mathematical principals::
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Nods and motions for Shannen to leave as he disappears momentarily behind his beloved partition.::
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: I've been praying for all of us since we left.
Host Selene says:
::gestures at the screen no longer showing the world outside, just repeated text:: SO: Can't you see! We are being punished!
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Points to himself.::  Anis:  I am Human from Earth.  ::Then points to Selene::  She is Elaysian.  What is your home world called?
Host Obelisk says:
*SHIPWIDE*: What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short. What must I do. Time grows short
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Starts off, PADD in hand as she goes to check the most serious cases first::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Shakes his head, standing again and making for the turbolift, heading back to the bridge.::
Host Anis says:
:: Motions with his chin towards Selene ::  COM: Know I nothing of her origins.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
Chap: I'm going to become an agnostic now ::smiles::
Host Selene says:
::slides off the biobed and wobbles over to Anis, stumbling and grabbing his clothes:: Anis: Save us!
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::thinks for just a moment:: Self: Believe...
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Approaches the group around Selene, having put on a clean apron. He says nothing, but tries to extrapolate what has developed recently.::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Emerges from the turbolift back onto the bridge, going to his station.::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
*CO*:  Captain looking over the data I've collected I think this object is responsible for creating this world and its people.  The poem clearly states this.  I think this "being" is looking for its people.
Host Selene says:
ACTION: The tear in the hull of the Obelisk widens and peals inward. More red cloud seeps in. More distant lights go out. Fire starts to crawl up the interior walls of the enormous structure.
Host Anis says:
Selene: Leave me be!  Want nothing of you.  COM: Taken was I.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Stops the com short and kneels down to Selene pick her back up.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
*COM*: Can you bring our guests to the bridge?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Sits for a moment, pinching the bridge of his nose, thinking.::
MO_Ens_Huang says:
Selene: Whoa! ::Rushes to her.:: You're still incredibly weak.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Well the music didn't work
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
*CO*: I can try sir.  *Security*:  Security to sickbay.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Overhearing:: COM: Commander, this woman will have serious problems functioning outside of the lower-gravity environment we have established here.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
Captain:  The question isn't what must I do, it is What must I do to be saved? The answer is belief.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
CO: I'm dredging the barrel here, sir... But I think we have to give it a command in the Elaysian language.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
MO:  I'm not interested in Selene.   She can stay here, but I'm taking Anis with me to the bridge.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Give it a try. See what commander McQuade has so far
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
MO:  Is he well enough to take the trip?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
CO: From a purely scientific perspective, the only commands that would aid the planet -- I think -- would be 'leave' or 'die.'
Host Selene says:
ACTION: The Obelisk's transmissions continue on screens all over Phoenix. But notable errors start to show up. The datastream is degrading.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Checks on the first patient, making sure the IV is dripping at the right rate, and administers another dose of pain medication::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Try "stop"
MO_Ens_Huang says:
COM: He should be, yes.
Host Selene says:
::hanging on to Huang, barely able to stand::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Nods, tapping his console and opening a wide channel to the obelisk, transmitting the word "stop" in the Elaysian language to it.:: CO: Transmitting.
Host Selene says:
SCENE: Emergency lights flicker on inside the Obelisk, illuminating the darkened interior, revealing an enormous latticework of energy-conducting crystals. Many shattering and falling like snow.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Leads Selene back to the biobed, where he positions her carefully.:: Selene: Are you breathing well?
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
MO:  Thank you doctor.  If O'Rielley is free I'd feel better if she comes with us just in case Anis' condition degrades.  ::Stops as the security team enters.::
Host Obelisk says:
*SHIPWIDE*: Command Insu$*##icient.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Security: Take Anis to the bridge and make sure nothing happens to him.  ::Follows the security team out with Anis.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO: Try "restore yourself"
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Nods and reaches for an intercom.:: *EMT*: Petty Officer O'Reiley, return to Sickbay to accompany Commander McQuade and the male alien patient.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: Try Believe.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Lets out a sigh.:: Self: Well, at least we know it won't kill us for the wrong command. CO: Aye, sir. ::Sends the equivalent command to the obelisk.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
Chap: I think it's looking for a native of the planet
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
*MO*: On my way Sir. ::Starts back for Sickbay::
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Blinks, then sends the command "save us" to the obelisk, on a hunch.::
Host Anis says:
:: Is lifted and taken rather unceremoniously ::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Enters the TL with the rest of the group.:: TL: Bridge.
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: After several silent moments, the consoles light back up again.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: I don't think it is looking for anything, I think it is looking for the word.
Host Obelisk says:
*SHIPWIDE*: Command accepted. RESTORING.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis: Can you communicate with this thing?  Selene thinks you are responsible.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Blinks.::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Arrives in Sickbay::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
SO/Chap: It worked?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
CO: Fingers crossed.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Sticks his tongue out at O'Reiley.:: EMT: You just missed them. To the Bridge!
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: The remaining crystals in the lattice start to glow, the crystal snow reverses itself, restoring the broken crystals. Fires go out and the hull starts to re-seal.
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: Apparently.
Host Anis says:
COM: I am not responsible.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
MO: Doctor, you know knuckle-draggers aren't allowed on the Bridge, only officers can go. ::smirks::
Host Anis says:
COM: I came here against my will.... I am a slave.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Shrugs.:: EMT: You were personally requested, now go.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::takes the helm:: SO/Chap: I'm going to try and get us out of here
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis:  A slave?  Who's slave?  For the Elaysians?
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Watches as the TL opens onto the bridge.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::attempts to escape the obelisk::
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: The displays and the communications system aboard Phoenix are released back to the crew and reports come echoing up from Engineering that several systems aboard the ship, damaged by the impacts and plasma lightning, are being restored as well.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Shrugs:: MO: On my way. ::leaves and catches a TL to the Bridge, medical kit in hand::
Host Anis says:
COM: I don't know what Elaysians are....
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis:  Then who is forcing you to be a slave?
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: The monolithic door reopens to allow Phoenix to leave.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Runs scans of the planet below them.::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Exits the TL still talking with Anis.::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::navigates out::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Walks out onto the Bridge, med kit in hand:: COM: You called Sir?
Host Obelisk says:
ACTION: In Sickbay, Selene is covered by a faint blue glow, reducing gravity around her. She instantly feels better, breathing easier.
Host Anis says:
COM: I don't know the answers to your questions.  I was taken from my planet, and told I was being traded... for what, I don't know.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
EMT:  Yes I'd like you to stay and make sure Anis' condition doesn't get any worse.
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Looks around the infamous Bridge... breathes the rarefied air of officer country, and smirks::
Host Obelisk says:
SCENE: As the Phoenix escapes the bowels of the Obelisk, she's greeted with destruction in reverse. Huge chunks of Elaysia tumble back toward their mother planet. The world being slowly rebuilt as a blue glow washes over it.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
COM: Looks like we don't need him after all....I think the situation is rectifying itself
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
COM: Aye Sir.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
Self: Well look at that... ::Gets a tricorder to examine this "blue glow"::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis: Are all your people taken and traded?
Host Anis says:
:: Seems almost to the point of tears, and leans on the communications officer, almost to the point of a hug ::  COM: Have you come to save me?
Host Selene says:
::feeling elated, smiles at Huang:: MO: You are a healer, yes? Might I see the other? I must do so.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Blinks at his readings.:: CO: Total planetary restructuring, captain. The amount of power this thing must have... It's repairing the planet.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::looks on in amazement:: SO: So it seems...gather all data on the obelisk that you can
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Holds onto Anis.::  Anis:  I will do everything I can to help you and your people, but I need to learn more about these crimes you may have committed.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Frowns, clears his throat.:: Selene: The other -what-?
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
CO: I'll do what I can. But I'm going to guess that not only are the scans going to be blocked, but we won't see much more of the obelisk. ::Runs scans on the obelisk.::
Host Selene says:
MO: Your other patient. The alien.
Host Anis says:
COM: My crime appears to have been born.  Our people are being taken from the planet, and put into service... traded for goods.  :: Lifts his heads up :: Am I worth goods?
Host Selene says:
SCENE: An enormous piece of planet floats back toward Elaysia, clouds and lakes and birds and trees intact, fitting back into the puzzle perfectly.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Shakes his head.:: Selene: I've got no control over that for the moment. You'll have to wait until this fiasco is over. ::Is authoritative::
Host Selene says:
MO: Please! I must speak with him. I must make amends! Please, let me speak to him at least.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
Anis:  You life is worth more than goods and services.  We will speak with the Captain and send information to Starfleet.  I'm sure given the information they will do everything in there power to help your people.  For no you will remain here on the Phoenix until we can straighten this out.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Cutting speech:: Selene: Sit tight, now! There's enough chaos on this ship as it is... ::Looks her over.::
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Watches the magic reassembling planet, a bit puzzled, since she had no idea what was going on until now except everything was coming unglued on the ship::
Host Anis says:
:: Smiles at the communications officer, and then leans in close and kisses him deeply ::
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::put the Phoenix back into a gyosyncornus orbit around Elaysia::
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Holds off Anis and extends his hand.::  Anis:  Where we come from a handshake will do just fine.
Host Anis says:
:: Puts one arm around the officer, and the other brushes the inside of his thigh ::  COM: If that's what you want....
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::watches the alien and communications officer, than raises an eyebrow:: CO: Do you need someone to spell you on the helm?
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
::Stands back away from Anis.::  Security please escort our guest to the ready room.
Host Anis says:
COM: I'll wait for you.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
::gets up:: Chap: Feel free, I have us on autopilot
EMT_PO2_OReiley says:
::Watches the un-manly conduct and can't help but snicker, thinking the MO will LOVE this story::
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
::nods than actually looks at the helm and blinks:: CO: Let’s just hope I don't need to do anything exciting like...turn.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Looks at his scans of Selene, then goes to an intercom.:: COM: Sir, for your information, Selene has returned to full health, miraculously.
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
Chap: I have every confidence in you
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
CO: Sir Anis is in the ready room under close security watch.  He says his people are being traded and enslaved.  Definitely worth reporting to Starfleet and investigating.
SO_Ens_Fawkes says:
::Sits back in his chair, relaxing visibly.:: Self: Starfleet - Winging It since 2151. ::Sighs.::
Chap_Lt_Feare says:
CO: Confidence is one thing, blind faith is another.
COM_Cmdr_McQuade says:
*MO*: Thank you doctor.  I'll report that to the Captain.
MO_Ens_Huang says:
::Slumps down in his chair after a long day of surgery.:: Self: OY!
Host CO_Captain_LaPointe says:
COM: I'll expect a full report
Host Selene says:
ACTION: The Phoenix picks up a new transmission from one of the repaired Skyports on Planet Elaysia. The newly expanded UT translates it as just two words. "Thank you."
