Luijo:
::Picks up phaser from where cold one attacked::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Kam>  The Cold Ones are coming.  We must hide.
vfailor:
::starts modulating multi-phasic emmiter::
net-knight:
::fights off another cold one and helps Luijo to the Doctor::
Luijo:
Hawke: What was that??!!
lonacher:
::on planet, rushing to Vicenti's aid, scanning him for physical damage from Cold One's attack::
vfailor:
::hears howls outside::
GoBucks1:

Host Chad_vTrek:
<Kam>  ::looks at Moro::  Quuickly... inside.
Luijo:
::feels weird on left arm and shoulder::
net-knight:
luijo: Come on, we need to rejoin the others fast
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  :Speaking like a badly-dubbed Japanese movie::  Yes.  Hide we must.
vfailor:
Hiser:  Guard the doorway
SmallFrog has left the conversation.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::hurries inside a building::
lonacher:
::administers hypospray to Vicenti::  There, Ensign, that should hold you for a bit
vfailor:
::juryrigs phaser to multiphasic emitter::
Luijo:
Let's go ::tries to run.  Body burning inside, but goes along fast anyway::
GoBucks1:
lt tress:: yes sir
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  Tress:  You must take shelter.
Luijo:
Thanks Doc
net-knight:
::covers the retreat of Luijo and Lonacher and follows to the chamber where the others are gathered::
GoBucks1:
::walks to dorrway::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Tries to climb a tree, pole, or whatever is handy::
lonacher:
::follows to the chamber::
vfailor:
Dukduk:  Find shelter for yourself, I have a little suprise for the cold ones
net-knight:
::hits communicator:: *tress*: What are your orders?
GoBucks1:
::sets phaser to stune::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  ::looks at Nuknuk::
lonacher:
::grabs phaser::
vfailor:
*hawke* What is your situation
vfailor:
::approaches door, with multiphasic emitter in hand::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Looks sheepish and ducks for cover::
Host Chad_vTrek:
A SHADOW MOVES QUICKLY OVER THE CLEARING.
vfailor:
::modulates emitter to an ultraviolet frequency::
net-knight:
*tress* we are just outside the first chamber, Luijo is wounded but seems alright. There are Kamaarians running everywhere
lonacher:
::moves to an open window, trying to get a better look outside::
vfailor:
*Hawke*  Be prepared, I am about to lighten things up!
Host Chad_vTrek:
SHADOW STOPS JUST SHORT OF THE ULTRAVIOLET EMMITER.
net-knight:
*tress* We're ready when you are
vfailor:
::sends a wide angle blast of ultraviolet radiation across the clearing, illuminating it::
Host Chad_vTrek:
SHADOW VANISHES, FOR NOW.
Luijo:
::Starts working shoulder, flexes where C.O. raked arm::
net-knight:
::wondering what in the hell is going on here::
lonacher:
::watching intently::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  ::grabs Lujo::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  Protect us!
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk> ::Starts dance of joy.  Anyone who has a brain can tell this guy is pretty DUMB::
vfailor:
::scans clearing for cold ones::
Luijo:
Dukduk: wait! 
net-knight:
*tress* I recommend we all gather together. We need to find out more about these cold ones from the Kamaarians
Luijo:
Hawke: everyone here?
lonacher:
Luijo: try to communicate with Dukduk
lonacher:
find out what this is all about
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  ::looks at Luijo::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  ::in fear::
net-knight:
luijo: everyone seems to be alright
vfailor:
*Hawke*  The light seems to have cleared the cold ones away, make your way for the structure
Luijo:
Dukduk: Who are these Cold Ones? Can you tell me?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Luijo:  They take our people....
vfailor:
*Hawke*  I will maintain the beam as long as I can
net-knight:
::we enter the structure and rejoin the rest of the AT::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Luijo, they are never heard from again.
lonacher:
::still maintaining watch at the window::
vfailor:
::counts the AT::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk> ::Chiming in::  I think they eat them!  Or worse!
Luijo:
::Frowns:: Dukduk: Ok. Come on, let's join the others.
vfailor:
::modulates multiphasic emitter once more::
GoBucks1:
::standing at door with phaser in hand::
net-knight:
lonacher: Doctor, will Luijo be alright. He got a nasty rake across that arm before I pulled the damn thing off him
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::sees Matt and hides::
lonacher:
Hawke:  He'll be fine; the hypo should take effect soon
net-knight:
lonacher: good
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Sees phaser and walks up to Heiser::  Wow, neat toy!  Can I borrow it?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::looks up and at Nuknuk::
lonacher:
::grins:: Hawke: you know our Vicenti......
GoBucks1:
::looks over his sholder thinks he hears something::
Luijo:
It's feeling better ::flexes halfway, but grimaces::  No problem there
net-knight:
::walks over to tress:: Tress: Have you been able to contact the Captain?
lonacher:
::returns to maintaining guard at window::
vfailor:
Hawke:  I have modulated the emitter for a low frequency microwave.  I will place it in the doorway.  If the microwaves are disturbed we will know they are coming again
Luijo:
::Looks at Dukduk and Nuknuk. They look related::
GoBucks1:
::pulls out ticorder and takes readings
net-knight:
tress: that is an excellent idea, Lt.
vfailor:
Hawke:  I haven't been able to reach him.  Most likely due to the electrical storm
net-knight:
tress: what about the Kamaarians? Is that who these aliens are?
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Looks pleadingly at Matt.::  Can I see it, PLEASE?
vfailor:
Hawke:  I would like you to stand guard just in case while I try to get something out of these Kamaarians
lonacher:
::shakes head at Mat::  Hiser: no, remember the prime directive....
net-knight:
tress: I will be right at the entrance if you need me
vfailor:
::walks over to Kamaarians::smiles to dukduk::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  PLEASE??????
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk>  Tress:  You're pretty.
net-knight:
::turns and walks to entrance to take his place as lookout::
Luijo:
::Remembers The "Star Chart" on the floor::
vfailor:
Dukduk:  About these Cold ones, are they Kamaarians also?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::smiles back at Val::
vfailor:
::smiles::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  No, they are bad.
GoBucks1:
::looks back and shakes his head::
lonacher:
::rolls eyes::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  Why NOT??
vfailor:
Dukduk:  What do they do with your people?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  They come at night and take our people.
Luijo:
::Looks around, and pulling out tricorder walks to where the Map was on the floor::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  We never hear from them again.
net-knight:
::peering out into the darkness, he sees shapes moving but they do not seem to be approaching::
lonacher:
::decides to help Vicenti analyze those markings::
MattL_vTrek has joined the conversation.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Matt, GO Haven>
vfailor:
Hiser:  Try your best to relocate the Wombat and a way to get to it.
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Calls over to Dukduk::  I think they eat them!  Or worse!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::looks at NukNuk::  You're stupid.
vfailor:
Dukduk:  How old are you?
Luijo:
::Kneels, and pooling Trojs earlier analyses with what he knows, starts to turn it all over in his mind...::
GoBucks1:
lt trees :yes sir
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  Yeah, what's your point, Big Brother?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  I am 18
Luijo:
This looks like..::sees Rand approaching::
Luijo:
::Stands::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> I'm a man.
vfailor:
Dukduk:  Does your people have a leader?
net-knight:
::sees the shapes test the perimeter of the area, coming closer very slowly..... as if they are afraid or very wary::
GoBucks1:
::scans out the doorway for shuttle signal::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::pounds chest and looks at Tress with a grin::
lonacher:
::looks over Vicenti's shoulder:: Luis, your thoughts?
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Whispers to Hiser::  He's got a girlfriend!  ::Pointing to Dukduk::
Luijo:
This looks like a Star Chart.  This planet seems to be
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  Leader?
vfailor:
Dukduk:  Someone who makes decisions for you as a group
Luijo:
::points:: Right around here, with the dead ships here.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  Father?
MattL_vTrek has left the conversation.
GoBucks1:
::looks at morovoctch and grins::
Luijo:
The Star/Portal appears to be this one...
lonacher:
Vicenti:  the sun we came thru?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::grins at Tress again::
Luijo:
Rand: What do you think? ::Still studying outer fringes of map::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> Tress:  You are a woman!
vfailor:
Rand:  I want you to get some life readings on the Kamaarians and compare them with those of the cold ones when the time comes.
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Still to Hiser::  She's really cute, but she doesn't like him as much as he thinks she does.
net-knight:
*tress*: they are testing the outer edges of this area. They seem wary of attacking again, but I see some starting to get closer slowly
Luijo:
Rand:Yeah, that's the one
lonacher:
Tress: acknowledged
vfailor:
Dukduk:  Sure, a father
lonacher:
Vicenti: continue your analysis
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Dukduk> ::grabs Tress:: You are mine!
Luijo:
::starts pacing perimeter of map:: Aye
net-knight:
::looks back to see tress get grabbed::
vfailor:
*Hawke*  The ultraviolet setting is delta 2, if they break the perimeter turn it on
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk> Dukduk:  Brother!  What do you want TWO women for?
GoBucks1:
:: moves to lt tress::
Host Chad_vTrek:
A MAN ENTERS VIA A SECRET PASSAGE IN THE ROOM.
lonacher:
::checks earlier results of Kam physiological readings::
vfailor:
Dukduk:  Easy fellow
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  What is going on in here?
GoBucks1:
lt trees:sir
net-knight:
*tress* Sure thing, Lt
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  ::looks around the room:: Who are you people?
lonacher:
::moves to window to try and scan the beings moving outside::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  Daddy!!!!  ::Gives Tomtom a big hug!::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  I am Tress Sura of the Federation Starship Fearless
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Nuknuk, go back to the house.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::points to the passage::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Starship?
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  Aw Dad.......
lonacher:
::turns to medscan Tomtom::
Luijo:
::Finds some names for the first time on the map, though it's alien language::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Nuknuk:  Take Dukduk too.
JamesY_vTrek has joined the conversation.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::eyes Rand with caution::
GoBucks1:
::moves back to door::
lonacher:
Vicenti: does the universal translator work on the readings?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  What are you doing here?
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Yes.  A Federation starship.  We landed here in hopes of finding our way out of this pocket universe.
Luijo:
::Sets tricorder to decode:: Hope so.  
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  Come on Brother.  Wanna play a game of Gugelblotz?
Luijo:
Almost done
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Where did you come from?
lonacher:
::circles cautiously around Tomtom, scanning unobtrusively::
net-knight:
::sees several shadowy figures rush towards the perimeter quickly::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  We came from the other side of the red giant star, through a subspace anomaly
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  In don't understand your words.
Luijo:
These appear to be a very old form of a dead language, not even used any more.
lonacher:
::rushes back to window, med tricorder in one hand, phaser in other, just in case::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  This is not a safe place.
net-knight:
::reacting like lightning, he drops to one knee and changes the setting to emit the UV radiation wide beam again::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  You must leave.
vfailor:
Tomtom:  We have been attacked by Cold ones ever since we arrived
Luijo:
But, The UT can get them straight! ::looks brighter::
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Grabs Dukduk and drags him off::  Bye everybody!  It was very nice meeting you!!!!!
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Our shuttle has been taken undergroud
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  They will leave with the dawn.
Morovitch:
<Nuknuk>  ::Exit stage left::
net-knight:
*tress* Shall I attempt to capture one of our friends out there? Perhaps bring it in for questioning?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  I am surprised you are not dead.
Luijo:
There we go! ::thinks, remembers::  This is a star system on the very edges known space!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Your shuttle is lost.
vfailor:
*Hawke*  Only if you can do so safely, our main objective is to make it to dawn
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  If the Cold Ones have it, you will not get it back.
Luijo:
Tress:  Lt. Tress! Over here!
lonacher:
::makes sure the readings from those shadowy figures outside are safely recorded, starting analysis::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Wanders out of passage::  Tomtom, what is going on here?
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Our starship is orbiting the planet, but interference has been too hostile to get through
net-knight:
*tress* don't worry I have a plan.. ::the cold smile returns to his face::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::moves to Blikblik:: These strangers have come from somewhere else...
vfailor:
::wheels around to vicenti::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> The cold ones have thier transport.
GoBucks1:
lt tress:sir are shuttle signal is 1 kl away its stoped moving just north of are current position
Luijo:
::starts for the Lt::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  This is the storm season.
net-knight:
hiser: Can you assist me for a moment Mr. Hiser?
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Are these Cold ones Kamaarians also?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  The storms will continue for three more weeks.
vfailor:
*Hiser*  Understood
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Well, they're in a bit of a sticky gormlock, aren't they?
GoBucks1:
::walks to hawk::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::nods to Blikblik::
lonacher:
Tress:  It appears that the readings I've obtained from the....ummm figures outside are similar in nature to the readings I have from the Kams.......
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  We do not know what they are.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  However, they come and take our people... at night.
net-knight:
hiser: I am about to go out there and be the bait to get one of them to risk the UV radiation again. 
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  We never hear from them again.
Luijo:
Tress: I believe that this is a starchart, and I have the coordinates of a system that appears to be known
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  What, did the Cold Ones take it?  Well, they're doomed.
GoBucks1:
mr.hawk:yes sir ill man the light
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Why have you remained here so long if they continue to hunt you?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  Blikblik:  To their lair no doubt.
net-knight:
hiser: I am turning off the Uv beam. I will go outside and let them come to me. at the last possible moment I want you to turn the beam back on
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Where would we go?
Luijo:
It is still pretty far out in the Reaches.
GoBucks1:
mr.hawk:got it
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::To himself::  Hmm, I never did find that lair.  Fudge.
net-knight:
hiser: if we time thius right I will catch one when it is weakest and I can overpower it without doing too much damage
vfailor:
Vicenti:  record the coordinates in your tri-corder, we will need them later
GoBucks1:
mr>hawk becarful
net-knight:
hiser: I trust you will be ready at the appropriate time. I don't need to be careful, I need you to keep me alive. alright?
Luijo:
Done that already, Lt.  I think I can get us there with no problem when we regain the Fearless
vfailor:
Tomtom:  I see....
Host Chad_vTrek:
THE SUN STARTS TO RISE.
JamesY_vTrek has left the conversation.
lonacher:
Tress: repeating my earlier communication: Tress:  It appears that the readings I've obtained from the....ummm figures outside are similar in nature to the readings I have from the Kams.......

net-knight:
::puts awway phaser and steps outside::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Still murmuring audibly::  But then again....
vfailor:
Tomtom:  This map, does it represent passage to the other side of the anomaly
vfailor:
Rand:  Understood
lonacher:
Tress: a slight difference, though; still analysing 
Luijo:
::looks down and notices a weird splotch near the star system::
net-knight:
::stepping out into the open....apparently unarmed.....the UV beam is off, but the shadowy creatures are torn between attacking and fleeing the sunlight::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Hawke:  Sir, just how big is your transport?
Luijo:
Tomtom: hey, over here.  Can you tell me what this is?
net-knight:
Blikblik: it is approximately 30 feet long
vfailor:
Tomtom:  We followed a ship here of Kamaarian design through the anomoly
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> A map to this world... our haven.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Hawke:  That's nice.  How tall and wide?
net-knight:
blikblik: 12 feet high by 18 feet wide
Luijo:
Tomtom: What is this one swirl? It doesn't appear in our maps
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  The passage of course.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Our haven has turned into a nightmare.
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Do you know who may have been on that vessel that we followed here
net-knight:
It seems the cold ones will not venture out so close to when the sun is rising
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Hmmmm, I think I might know a few passages big enough.  There aren't many.  Your transport is larger than most passages.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  A few of our brothers...
Luijo:
::Adds the second anomaly't position to charts, and it appears to be more of a free-standing wormhole::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  You must let me explain.
GoBucks1:
lt hawk;yes it seems they are going away
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::points to a table::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Have they arrived here as of yet
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Please sit down.
net-knight:
::heading back insideblikblik: do you think we could isolate which passage they took our ship to?
vfailor:
::sits down::
Luijo:
::loud:: It's the GATE BACK!!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Let me recount our history.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  It's very possible.  If I could go get my maps......
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Roughly 5,000 years ago our planet befell a great plague.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> So destructive was it that we had to flee our world.
lonacher:
::sits down to listen::
net-knight:
hiser: I'll keep watch here, why don't you go see if you can help Lt Tress
Luijo:
::fast:: Tress, Rand. This is the gate back to our own quadrant!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> So, the government build a fleet of ships... to carry us forth...
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Sits down to hear story one more time.::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> To our Haven... a hidden world safe from harm.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> It took 1,000 years to make it here.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Many of our ships were lost.  
lonacher:
Vicenti: a gate back without our Wombat??
vfailor:
*Hiser, Hawke*  The cold ones should be back in hiding, attempt ot locate the shuttle Wombat
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Along with those ships, we lost the technology to build and maintain them.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Our one remaining craft is used to leave the Haven....
net-knight:
*tress* On the way, lt
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> To serve as a beacon for any Kamaarin ship's that may find their way.
net-knight:
hiser: Lets get to it. we need to find the shuttle
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::looks at Tress::
GoBucks1:
lt hawk:right behind you
vfailor:
Tomtom:  When did you first encounter the Cold ones
Luijo:
No, we need the Fearless to reach it.  But it seems to be safe passage, and the rest of the
Luijo:
 Runes on the floor say that it'll take us back to around the same place the Sun was.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik> ::Starts rummaging around in pack::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Our history bookd record their presence roughly 200 years after our arrival here.
net-knight:
::hiser and hawke leave the chamber and head out in search of the Wombat
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Were they native to this planet, or did they arrive as you did?
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Pulls map out of pack, unrolls in on the floor.::
GoBucks1:
::pulls out tiricorder::mrhawk: iam picking up a strong signal just north of us
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  We do not know.
net-knight:
hiser: are you picking up a signla from the Wombat?
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  That information has been lost over the years...
net-knight:
hiser: you read my mind, ensign
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Along with any means to study them.
vfailor:
Vicenti:  Make sure you have accurate record of those coordinates
lonacher:
::whispers to Tress:: Lt: it appears, from my analysis, that the Cold Ones and the Kamaarians are mutated forms of one another....
Luijo:
::heads over to the trio::
GoBucks1:
hawk:just trying to be on top of things sir
lonacher:
I've not been able as yet to determine which came first, Lt Tress
vfailor:
::blinks at Rand::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Starts tracing route on cave maps, muttering.::  Couldn;t have taken it there, too small.
Host Chad_vTrek:
THE SUN RISES TO ITS PEAK.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> We will be safe now.
lonacher:
Tress: they're genetecially very similar....
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> The Cold Ones only come out at night.
net-knight:
*tress* we have picked up a strong signal from the shuttle. please send Mr. Luijo to assist us. we may need his piloting skills
vfailor:
Tomtom:  Our ship's doctor has run some tests that point to some similarities between you and the Cold ones
Morovitch:
<Blikblik> AHA!
Luijo:
::looks at Tress for Permission to go::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::looks at Tress::  You must be mistaken.
vfailor:
Vicenti:  Report to Lt. Hawke
net-knight:
hiser: lets see if we can't hone in on that signal even further
lonacher:
::rechecks med tricorder readings::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  I am merely proposing that the Cold 0nes possibly take your people and somehow change them into their own nature
Luijo:
Aye!  ::Runs out of Chamber, and sees Hawke, Hiser, heads for them?
lonacher:
Tress: my readings still confirm previous findings
Luijo:
::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::looks disgusted::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Points to maps.::  Your transport is there!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> You must leave.
GoBucks1:
hawk:ok ill adjust the band i should beable to get us close
vfailor:
Tomtom:  It would explain the disappearance of your people
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> We don't want you here.
net-knight:
hiser: excellent Mr. Hiser
Luijo:
::Reaches them::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> How dare you compare us to them.
net-knight:
::sees Luijo and checks to see he is not in any apparent pain or distress from his wounds::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Your presense places us in danger.
GoBucks1:
hawk:its just north about kilometer
net-knight:
::the three amigos set out to find the Wombat :) ::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  I am not saying that the comparison rings true.  Your people are not of the same nature, I have come to know and adore their peaceful attitude
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Lays hand on Tomtom's shoulder::  Easy now, they don't know our ways.  They don't know the insult they are delivering..
net-knight:
hiser/luijo: Let's ppickup the pace then. 
GoBucks1:
hawk:the signal is coming from that caveren 
Luijo:
Hawke: lead the way!
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::looks at Blikblick:: They invade our world and bring the attention of the Cold Ones.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> We can't trust them.
vfailor:
::shows Tomtom the golden cube::
net-knight:
::picking up the pace, he jogs for the cavern in the distance
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Didn't you just see their light ray repel the Cold Ones?  They can help us!
GoBucks1:
::walks 100 yards to a opening in a hill side::hawk:its in here
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::looks at Blikblik::  For now.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Take your gift and leave.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> It should help you through the passage.
Luijo:
::matches Hawke's speed, and starts to think of flying conditions here::
net-knight:
hiser: let me inform the Lt. of our findings first
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Leave and never return.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Tress:  You must forgive Tomtom.  He is always suspicious of everyone he hasn't known since his youth.
lonacher:
::puts away tricorder, thinks that other ways are better here::
net-knight:
*tress* we have found an entrance to a tunnel where the shuttle is being kept
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Blikblik:  Your wife was taken two days ago...
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> These people place us in danger.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Are you so ready to die?
GoBucks1:
::draws phaser and sets it on stune::
vfailor:
Blikblik:  I understand his vigilence
vfailor:
*Hawke* Proceed with caution
vfailor:
Tomtom:  How do you propose we leave with no shuttle. 
net-knight:
hiser/luijo: we need to be extremely cautious here. they may be able to function in the dark of these caverns
Luijo:
::pulls phaser, remembering Cold Claws...::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  ::waits for them to leave::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Yes, they took my wife.  The point is, it isn't these people's fault the cold Ones hate us so.  You can't blame them!
GoBucks1:
::checks tricorder for life signs::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  Leave our town.
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  The Cold Ones will take care of you.
net-knight:
::drawing phaser:: luijo/hiser: I will go first. I want the two of oyu to follow at 3 meter intervals. 
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Tress:  If you require it, you may all stay at my house.  I have plenty of room....now.
vfailor:
Tomtom:  How do you explain the fact last night was the first night in months none of your people were taken?
net-knight:
@hiser: I am counting on you to let us know if you detect anything
Luijo:
ok.  ::steps in after Hawke::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> Tress:  And tonight they will take double our kind.
net-knight:
::cautiously moves into the cave mouth::
vfailor:
Tomtom:  We have the means to protect you, but we can only do so with your permission.  
GoBucks1:
hawk:looks all clear iam not picking up anything on my scans
net-knight:
::listening and peering into the darkness. He stops to allow his eyes to adjust to the darkness before proceeding::
Luijo:
@::measures 3 m. steps in after::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  Tress:  You have been told to leave.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Tomtom, what have we got to lose?  We're always in danger of being taken anyway.  I myself would prefer a hope of a solution to simply waiting for my turn to go.
net-knight:
@*tress* we are entering the cave
GoBucks1:
::walks in to cave::
lonacher:
::moves to stand near Tress::
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::glares at Blikblik::
Luijo:
::eyes slowly adjust::
vfailor:
*Hawke*  Use the multipahsic emitter to fend off the cold ones if necessary
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::glares right back at Tomtom::
net-knight:
@:quietly whispers back to hiser::  Hiser: how far to the shuttle?
vfailor:
Blikblik:  I would enjoy the hospitality for the night, I don't want to endanger my crew in the wilderness
net-knight:
@*tress* We will if necessary, Lt
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom>  Blikblik:  You trust strangers?
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Rolls up maps and puts them in his pack.::  Tress:  Please, my home is your home.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Tomtom:  I see no reason not to.
lonacher:
Tress: permission to speak to Tomtom.....
vfailor:
Blikblik:  I give you my word as a Starfleet officer we will protect any of your people who need it
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::decides to leave::
vfailor:
Rand:  Permission granted
Host Chad_vTrek:
<Tomtom> ::exits the structure::
net-knight:
@luijo: here take the multiphasic emitter. We can't afford to lose it if we are attacked and I may not have time to react
GoBucks1:
@;hawk:we are getting close iam picking up the siganl real strong now
lonacher:
Tomtom: I meant no offense earlier when I........  ::voice trails off when realizing Tomtom left::
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  ::Shakes his head::  Impetuous youngster.  Thinks he owns the haven.
Luijo:
@::takes the emitter:: Be careful.
net-knight:
@hiser: ok, this is it. I am sure they must be in the same cavern as the shuttle
Geoff_vTrek has joined the conversation.
vfailor:
blikblik:  Have you given any thought to the Doctor's hypothesis
KTal has joined the conversation.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  Tress:  Stranger things have been proposed.  It might give some slight explanation as to why they hate us so.
net-knight:
::stepping around a corner....he peers into a dark cavern......suddenly he loses his footing and slides to the left and down into a crevice. Barely catching the edge with one hand, he drops his phaser into the bottomless crevice::
net-knight:
@Ahhhhh
lonacher:
Blikblik: Is it indeed hate, you believe?
Luijo:
@::dives for Hawke, and grabs hand::
GoBucks1:
@::jumps down with cat like reflexes and help hawk::
GoBucks1:
@hawk:you ok
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  What other explanation is there?  Probably envy.  We can walk in the sun, while they must lurk in the night.
net-knight:
@::grabbing Luijo's hand he slowly is pulled out of the crevice......:: thanks. 
Luijo:
@::left arm is really on fire now:: 
vfailor:
Blikblik:  Some life-forms we have encountered do not have  the ability to reproduce as most species do.  They do so only by a sort of parasitic process of taking over a host's body
lonacher:
::considers the possibilities::
Luijo:
@::murmurs:: ahhhhhhh, man...
net-knight:
@::ahead of the three men, sounds begin to filter through the tunnel.... movement stirring::
Luijo:
@Hawke: you ok?
vfailor:
*Hawke*  Report, Lt.
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  If I could only walk in darkness I suppose I could become bitter too.  But what do I know?  It could be anything.
net-knight:
@hiser: I am alright. Thanks to you and Luijo. Heads up, I think they know we are here
Luijo:
@::hears sounds.  Emitter has surprisingly not been sqwooshed::
Luijo:
@::emitter thingy at ready::
net-knight:
@luijo: get that emitter ready. we are going to turn it on the minute we walk in there
Luijo:
@Aye sit
vfailor:
Blikblik:  We will wait here for the rest of our crew to return.  They have gone to look for the shuttle
GoBucks1:
@hawk:the wombat is just down this passage
Morovitch:
<Blikblik> Of course.  I didn't think you would wish to go now.
Luijo:
@Should we enter together?
vfailor:
Blikblik:  Thank  you for your understanding
net-knight:
@luijo: turn on the emitter and we will make our way to the shuttle
Luijo:
@On your word ::ready to run::
net-knight:
@luijo: NOW
Morovitch:
<Blikblik>  An old man sees more than a young one.  ::Stares after Tomtom::
net-knight:
::turns and enters the cavern
Luijo:
@::starts running, same second emitter hums to life::
vfailor:
Blikblik:  I am sorry to hear about your wife.  Hopefully we can prevent them from taking any more of your people.
