Protector 8/31

[9:00] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...for this evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYpaMeJm3ic*

[9:01] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the Protector as a fast motion recap shows it leaving the Citadel and
heading out amongst the stars once again. It zooms in on Tibs as he begins his opening log...*

[9:02] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius speaks into his Captain's Log recorder.*

[9:03] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Captains Log, Stardate 95640.19. Our brief rest on the Citadel is over, and we resume our trek
through the stars. We are en route to LMC-1077, a system near the Crimson Expanse.

[9:03] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We received a distress call six days ago from the vicinity of LMC-1077. Four days ago, the
signal went quiet. We were unable to establish further contact.

[9:04] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We have been sent to investigate the situation and handle it as necessary. End log.

[9:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is walking through engineering, dealing with mundane operations and maintenance
work, and checking on screens, definitely pulling in more of an effort than before, and taking more of an >

[9:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Initiative.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: ETA, helm?

[9:05] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He was cheerfully humming as he sorted the tool kits.*

[9:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Appoximately 25 minutes, sir.

[9:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Taps a PADD*

[9:06] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I wish they had let us see the inner workings of the ship we towed back more
closely..."

[9:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [continues to monitor the ACCI feeds and searching for matches to the distress call received to Proect
Magellan and LC Native databases-

[9:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -continues to monitor the ACCI feeds and searching for matches to the distress call received to Project
Magellan and LMC Native databases-*

[9:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Obihr] The database size was likely larger than we can comprehend.

[9:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --yawns--

[9:08] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus was looking over security reports and scratching his beard.*

[9:09] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah... well, unlike us, the Citadel teams have more time to dig in, I'll be curious
to see the reports after."

[9:09] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -Does science-y stuff in the Science lab-

[9:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -tyes something on her console-

[9:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Prepare to engage the phase cloak when we arrive in the system.

[9:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What if it starts misbehaving?

[9:11] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --worries Alexandra might be touching her stuff in the lab.--

[9:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Who the hell fights in the mess hall..."  *He muttered as he looked over the report for the
culprits.*

[9:11] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I wouldn't worry, with the avynei at a stone's throw

[9:12] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Maybe the Avynei can put it in time out if it starts misbehaving!"

[9:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --there is a beep on her console, she looks closely at some image on the display before jumping
and letting out a yelp. She glares at V'

[9:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: V'tira --

[9:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -passively continues to work on her console-

[9:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Ensign?"  *He glanced at Ezri.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Yes?

[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: ((but she did not actually jump up and pull a gun on V))

[9:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [lol]

[9:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Passively studies Ezri*

[9:13] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ensign Mei Lu Wuyang was also doing sciency stuff on a console on the other side.*

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You did see the size of that thing, right?

[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she look around awkwardly--

[9:14] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "I heard Dame say that size doesn't matter."

[9:14] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she presses some buttons on the console.--

[9:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: ((Internet hiccup

[9:14] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Of course he would say that."

[9:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain..I have found a possibel partial match to the source signal of the distress call

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles softly.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm. Explain.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks from Ezri to V'Tira*

[9:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The closest aproximent math I am able to match it to is a resembelance to the language used by the
Kirtascans

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Interesting...

[9:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is hardly an exact match however

[9:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: But it does share some base similarities

[9:17] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: Huh... Mei... There's a strange blip on our sensors

[9:17] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus made a note to check on Staffon and Magos later before glancing over at V'Tira.*

[9:17] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Williams] Spoken like a man who's never touched a woman.

[9:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Sure that ain't the deflector acting up again? I swear, after Nalie left it seems
like the ship got lonely.

[9:18] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Sure that ain't the deflector acting up again? I swear, after Nalie left it seems
like the ship got lonely.

[9:18] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Dame and women... not a good combo."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --turns her attention back toward reviewing incoming sensor data.

[9:19] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "My sister likes him!"

[9:19] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -She re-calibrates the sensors and runs another sweep- I'll check

[9:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] See? He ain't so bad.

[9:20] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: It's still coming up the same, don't think it's an error.

[9:20] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Dame's a cool guy."  *He closed up the kit he was organising.*

[9:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay facepalms and forwards Bore a request message.*

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] I'd send it up the chain then.

[9:21] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] I'd send it up the chain then.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's examine the source when we arrive in the system.

[9:22] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: =^= Ensign Kuhn to Ensign Tegan.

[9:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore raises his eyebrow going to start the proccess of replicating whatever Ezri
wanted.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks curiously down at her comm badge before tapping it.-- =/\=Ensign Tegan here...=/\=

[9:23] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: =^= Umm, we're getting an odd sensor reading down here, it's deffinately not an error, we checked.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: =/\=Um, okay. Do you have a range and bearing?=/\=

[9:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this as she listens-

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] 5 minutes to the system, sir.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks over the data she is getting on her console--

[9:25] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Uh." *Bore looks at the weird hat that the replicator produced.*

[9:26] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Ristovski to Ensign Tegan?"

[9:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You seem to be popular tonight, Ensign," *Marcus remarked lightly.*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Great. *Turns to Tegan* If there's a problem with the sensors, we need it fixed ASAP.

[9:26] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: =^= It's on the otherside of the system and heading out of it it seems?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --gets a flustered look as everyone seems to be calling her at oncee.--

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: =/\=Right, keep and eye on it.=/\=

[9:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks the local area for any type of signals=

[9:27] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: =^= Yes, ma'm.

[9:27] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -She turns to Mei- We're keeping in eye on it...

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she responds to Bore's call-- =/\= What!?=/\=

[9:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Closes her eyes and listens to the vastness of space surrounding them*

[9:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We have company out here it would seem

[9:28] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore looks a bit surprised at Ezri's reacttion.* =^= "Just calling to say I've
replicated your device."

[9:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Lt. Clerie, I need you to map the system with the tac scanners.

[9:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] My eyes won't leave my console...which in turn won't leave the...thing?

[9:28] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Want me to get it to you? It's a bit... bulky."

[9:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Aye sir, Hunkler, please look in to it"

[9:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: -there is amoment of silence.-- =/\=Oh. That's terrific. Can you drop it off in the lab? Or do I
need to com and pick it up?=/\=

[9:29] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -Alex shrugs some-

[9:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore looks to Daniels* "Can I go drop Ezri's stuff off in the lab?"

[9:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus raised a brow at that instant delegation.*

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] *sighs* Do it.

[9:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Ezri- Device?

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Aye ma'am.

[9:30] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "I'll drop the thing off at the lab, Tegan."

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns to V'Tira-- "Science stuff."

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are entering the system.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Engage the phase cloak.

[9:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- But of course

[9:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: One half impulse, intercept the source of the signal.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Something I am researching for the captain."

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Aye sir...this will impede our sensors to a degree.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Understood Hunkler.

[9:31] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector fades from view as the phase cloak activates.*

[9:32] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Dangit.

[9:32] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore enters the lab with a very bulky device.* "Urgh... where can I leave this for the
chief?"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around and faces the captain and XO-- "The science lab said they picked up an
unknown object moving at high speed on the other side of the system, moving out of the system,"

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am trying to see if i can locate it."

[9:33] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As the Protector drops from warp. LMC-1077 lies before them...a keen eye could make out two
ships in orbit of a planet. The planet is alight with an unnatural purple glow.*

[9:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Mei gives Alex a look.*

[9:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Let us hope we were not detected prior to going under the cloaking field..otherwise such a move may be
seen as provocative

[9:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --examines the sensor data, looking for the oject the science lab was speaking of--

[9:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Never seen an aurora borealis like that."

[9:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -tries to identify the class and species the ships belong too-

[9:35] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore just sighs, kind of having expected Science to be like this, so he just wait for
the slow nerds to notice him.*

[9:36] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -Turns and looks at Bore- Oh uh, you can give it to me. -She nods some-

[9:37] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Careful, it's heavy." *He carefully hands it over.*

[9:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] You need help Alie?

[9:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Whatever it may have been it seems to have dropped off sensors now. Maybe they have a cloak as
well."

[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I again am showing a similarity to the designs of the Kirtascans. It is technology possibly inspired by
them...however there are several differences in specifications, style and sizes

[9:38] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -she takes it, her not so big arms just managing to take it to a nearby tabe- thankyou!!

[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps the cause of these two ships sending the distress call

[9:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Cousin species, maybe?"  *He looked at V'Tira.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Ezri-

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods at Marcus' comment- I believe this to be most likely

[9:39] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Careful...

[9:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[9:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and a high probablity that these two vessels were the signal source of the distress call we received

[9:40] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You're welcome." *Bore nods and starts making his way back to engineering.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus pulled up the files on the Kirtascans and started skimming quickly.*

[9:41] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore enters engineering, looking at the bridge feed to see the two ships.* "Well,
hello there."

[9:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I would be remiss in not pointing out that the Kirtascans recently released a powerful ancient entity that
turned on their starships and killed the crews

[9:41] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: -She pats the device- There I got it. -She smiles-

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] ...what?

[9:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well that would have been nice to know up front."

[9:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- A recent report filed by the USS Pilgrim

[9:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I was unfamiliar with this report.

[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The entity remains...unaccounted for

[9:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Anything on Tactical?

[9:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Mh, I have a buddy on the Pilgrim.  He's done nothing but rant about the Kirtascans for it for
the past week."

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira then toward Tibs-- "Maybe we should think about heading back to the
Citadel."

[9:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Opens her eyes and looks down at her PADD, beeping it a few times to bring up something*

[9:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] What is it?

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Why aren't there any lights?

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are approaching the planet, sir.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We should at least see what the distress call is about."

[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Kirtascans attempted an...'exorcism' on the entity ...apparently it did not seem to appreciate nor
cooperate with their attempt. All they succeeded in doing was set it free

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Marcus-- "Why. the distress call is four days old. I am sure theya re dead by
now."

[9:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It killed them all... and two people from the Pilgrim crew."  *He looked at Ezri.*  "Let's not
jump to conclusions."

[9:45] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: A giant hat-like... metal thing. -She examines it-

[9:45] [DOIC4] Alexandra@dardez1: Brainwavey enhacer thing? -She looks at the inside.

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's enter standard orbit and conduct scans.

[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We are required by regulations to investigate for possible survivors

[9:45] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I think it's a safe bet to say everyone on board is dead."

[9:45] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Mei giggles.* You can't be serious.

[9:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "That too."

[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -contunes to scan for signals in system and from the two ships-

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns back to her console-- "fine, lets go look. Don't blame me for what happens next."

[9:46] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector, in phase cloak, heads into orbit.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps we should ascertain if any one is still aboard either of the two ships?

[9:47] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *checks the tac scanners to see where the ships are in relation to us*

[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am showing no trace of any signals from either ship...in point of fact I am detectng nothing at all out
there

[9:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We're close enough to scan the ships and the surface.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's get scans of both.

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kelvor] Dead?

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scans the shup's and surface.--

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --with a special empahsis on life signs.--

[9:50] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He looked at Bore dramatically.*

[9:51] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Ships with no lights on? Either a power failure all around on both ships, or
everyone's dead.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am not getting any life readings, but I need to recalibrate thesensors to compesate for some
signal interference from the phase cloak."

[9:52] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Make it so.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --recalibrates the sensors.--

[9:54] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Maybe their windows are really heavily tinted."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge-- =/\=Ensign Tegan to science lab.=/\=

[9:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] =^= Ensign Wuyang here.

[9:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sir, the phase cloak may be obsecuring science's ability to scan."

[9:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *obscuring ))

[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -updates the Citadel via her ACCI feeds on the possible projected course heading of the unknown object
detected leaving the system-

[9:55] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore sighs.* "Yeah, Ricky... maybe.'

[9:55] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: In that case, we need to drop the phase cloak. Go to red alert.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Track that object as long as we can.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Closes her eyes again and looks at the great emptyness*

[9:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's top priority to determine if there are survivors.

[9:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Already attempting to project its course and possible destrinations...but we do not have much data on the
local area this far out

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: =/\=Hey, I am having trouble getting a clear sensor image. some sort of negative feedback from
the phase cloak field. Is there something you guys can do down there...I don't know repoint the antenna

[9:57] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= All hands...red alert

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: or something.=/\=

[9:58] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore run out to get his damage control kit, looking around engineering, silently
observing if everyone is preparing.*

[9:58] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He was being a good engineer and had his kit ready.*

[9:59] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector decloaks in orbit of the planet.*

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --After the ship decloaks, she tries her scans again.--

[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have a projected course for the object...it is heading along a possible path to LMC systems 1050, 0061,
and 1075

[10:00] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] =^= Looks like the cloak just went down...forwarding data to your panel.

[10:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Think it's going to try and hit all three?"

[10:00] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *examines the sensor data of the object*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *reaches out to sense for life signs*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *With his... telepathy*

[10:01] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore frowns.* "Did the cloak get turned off?"

[10:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stood there and looked good for the camera.*

[10:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He heads to the cloak generator to take a look at it, the change in the sound
noticable to him.*

[10:02] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "I think so!"

[10:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Hrmph." *He tries to run a diagnostic on the generator.*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *purses her lips for a moment and sighs*

[10:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Bridge nerds didn't give the order..."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Something the matter, Lieutenant?"  *He looked at Desiree.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...commander

[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Sorry.  Still getting used to it."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head-- "I am picking up a faint signal. Possibly a lifesign. But, this can't
be right. it is reading under the surface."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, Something is seriously wrong. But it is so vauge."

[10:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Maybe in a bunker, or a cellar, or a cave?"

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i suppose that is very plausible."

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Actually, Commander Asada did order the cloak to be disengaged and a change to red
alert.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe they are hiding from the dark monsters."

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Given the nature of this part of this galaxy -nods to Ezri's assessment-

[10:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "My bad..." *Bore sighs, rubbing his temples.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Are there no other life signs... anywhere on the planet?"  *He raised a brow.*

[10:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do the scans show any signs of previous or recent settlement?

[10:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You know..civilization??

[10:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she once looks over the snsor data.--

[10:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There has been life here, once upon a time"

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i am picking up multiple cities. But, beyond signs of a past civilization the planet is devoid
of life."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Whoever is holed up under the surface is safe for now. What concerns me is this object which
is off to wreak havoc somewhere else. Helm, we need an intercept at slipstream speed. Tegan and V'Tira, >

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "except that one readin."

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I need you to determine the most likely present location of the object.

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...we are just going to leave...whoever that is here?

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Unless you can beam them up right now, they can wait.

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Aye sir, I just need a heading.

[10:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's try and contact them before we go beaming anyone anywhere."

[10:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain prior to departure request permission to launch a message bouy with a boosted signal to call to
the race that owns these ships...to let them know they are here

[10:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Make it so.

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No sir...I cannot, at least not with our standard transporter loadout.

[10:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sets out the message bouy with the ships coordinates and status on a repeated subspace signal and gets
it ready to launch-

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: They'll have to camp out for a little while longer. I need a probable location on that
object.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The longer it travels, the harder it will be to determine its current position.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We have its likely heading, don't we?"

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We have several likely destinations but I need the most likely.

[10:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Get ready for a slipstream jump, Ristovski...and possibly some attempts at course
correction.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "How about the closest one?"

[10:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =nods and attempts to determine the most likely of her projected courses for the object-

[10:11] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Getting her ready, LT."

[10:12] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Oh, awesome, I love slipstreaming!"  *He hurried to a console.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let me assist with those calculations. *Teamwork on V'Tira*

[10:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to him and sends him her calculations-

[10:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus chewed his cheek for a moment.*  "Do we have any reason to believe any of those systems
are habited?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: None at all

[10:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hm..."  *He stewed in the back, thinking.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We are the first to reach this section of space...

[10:14] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is silently working, brows furrowed.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Too late, it would seem."

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] It's not really a verb.

[10:15] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "...Slipping the stream?"

[10:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I concur -as she replots her course projections-

[10:16] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It is a verb now, it seems."

[10:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Given the limited data and even with the captains assistance...the most logical course still appears as
before..star system LMC-0061....i must point out we are the first of any Project Magellan ship

[10:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *He helps her revise the calcs*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright. Send the coordinates to Helm.

[10:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: out this far...with the Xert and Avynei fleets in he Black Ocean...our data on these systems is....vague

[10:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We need to activate the phase cloak when we arrive.

[10:17] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well, you know what they say.  Where no one has gone before."

[10:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Marcus and nods once-

[10:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He returned the nod.*

[10:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sir, Are we certain what is left on the planet will remain without futher damage untill we are able
to return?"

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Start charging up the deflector, Ristovski.

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If it is a life form they could be injured or maybe out of water."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I agree, we should try and contact the survivor while we wait for slipstream to be ready."

[10:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...-ponders this- It also might be a source of intelligence on this area of space...as would the two
derelicts

[10:19] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And a witness to whatever this object did to their planet."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Otherwise, we're flying in blind.  We don't know what we're dealing with."

[10:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Were the settlements recently damaged? or are they ruins of a past civiliation?

[10:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods to Marcus-- "Yeah, and that sound dangerous."

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Course laid in.

[10:20] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore starts charging up the deflector.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Captain?"

[10:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: How quickly can we pick up that survivor?

[10:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Try to make contact, but be quick.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "The transporters won't work in their current state, but maybe engineering can make some
modifications."

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sending greetings in all languages on all frequencies towards the planet, sir.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Maybe someone can try and... you know."  *He made a gesture.*  "Telepathically contact them in
case they don't have a communication device?"

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We are receiving a reply, sir.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh, never mind then."

[10:24] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Power levels look good.

[10:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It was a logical suggestion Lieutenant -to Marcus-

[10:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I can not feel them, But I can missed it, or it is shadowed in the other presence here, or it comes
down to not all life are biological perhaps"

[10:25] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Everything should be just abou right."

[10:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Thank you, Lieutenant."  *He paused, trying to check V'Tira's pips from across the room just
in case he forgot -that- too.  It was a bit too far away though.*

[10:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Sometimes it's all about the power levels, ya know.

[10:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -may not have turned just to hide her pips-

[10:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus has been sabotaged.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir?

[10:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Put it on.

[10:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Sorry lag

[10:27] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yep. Can make or break your whole life."

[10:28] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *On screen a reptillian figure appears, dressed in a cloak with a hood over his head slightly
obscuring his face.* What do you want, interloper? Have you come to finish us?

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri grows pale at the sight.--

[10:29] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This is Lt. Cmdr. Asada of the Federation Starship Protector. We're here to help. Who
attacked you?

[10:31] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] We must have angered the Guardian in some way.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Who is the Guardian?

[10:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A religous icon of the Kirtascans Captain

[10:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ahh.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Would you like us to bring you aboard our vessel?

[10:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Great Protector who failed to come to the aid to them following the release of the Entity

[10:32] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] *He holds up what appears to be an object similiar to a book.* He is the one who
watched over our people long ago.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --shakes her head at all the religious nuttery.--

[10:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus sighed, starting to understand why T'Ghor hated these guys.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she glares at Tibs at his suggestion they beam the lizard people abaord.--

[10:33] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] I must remain to gather what remains of our people after judgment to turn back to
the old ways.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm. I see. Well, we are going to investigate this matter further and we are always available
to help.

[10:34] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] Has the *unintelligble word* left the surface?

[10:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I believe so.

[10:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Uh, maybe you should ask him to clarify, sir..."

[10:35] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The reptillian narrows his eyes.* Why am I your contact?

[10:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You are the only one we could reach,

[10:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave Desiree an "I Tried" shrug.*

[10:36] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] What? *Genuine surprise fills his face.* The government of Duhar should have
contacted you.

[10:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Tries to had her feelings as she looks down at her PADD to jsut flick trough it for a distraction*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm sorry to say that there appears to be none other than you.

[10:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes as she reads over her data projections even falters a little and has to brace herself on
the bulkhead-

[10:39] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Shock and surprise fills the reptillian's eyes, before sadness sets in.* I am...the last of
our kind.

[10:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I cannot confirm that, but it appears to be so. I'm sorry.

[10:40] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked at V'Tira curiously.*

[10:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore's brows furrow, as h watched the bridge feed.* "Poor guy..."

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy braces herself up against the console, trying not to weep.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --doesn't seem bothered by it.--

[10:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *gently keeps V'Tira from where the reptilian would see of the bridge,placing a hand on her back*

[10:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked down at his console with a deep frown.*

[10:41] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] I tried...I warned them of the wrath of the Guardian...they would not LISTEN...

[10:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -straightens herself out and recovers nodding once to Desiree in unspoken graditude-

[10:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You can come with us if you like.

[10:42] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] Do with me what you wish, Tib-erious...my life is meaningless now. I await
judgment.

[10:43] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore watches the feed as he works, frown deepening.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "He's depressed... understandable, considering what just happened.  We should at least give him
the potential to recover from this."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's get you on board and working with one of our grief-management professionals.

[10:44] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The reptillian bows his head, revealing some of his scaly skin as the cloak lowers towards
the screen.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and looks at Tibs.--

[10:44] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ms. Tegan, can you beam him into sickbay please?

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir, he is significantly underground, this transmission is being routed to the
surface...it will require modifications.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: How quickly can the modifications be made?

[10:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Desiree and looks over at Catherine at that-

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and tries to get a transporter lock-- "For the record i feel this is ill advised."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Why?"

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Your objection is noted. We won't discuss that further.

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That would be an engineering question, sir.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Engineering, I want to beam up a life sign under the surface. How quickly can that be
done? I need this done ten minutes ago.

[10:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Takes a deep beath, holding it as she focuses to clear her mind for a few seconds. as she open her
eyes again and looks at V'Tira*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...I think I suggested it twenty minutes ago," *he muttered under his breath.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Marcus-- "security reasons."

[10:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...What are your security concerns with this, Ensign?"

[10:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *returns to where she normally stands*

[10:46] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "If all goes well... 40 minutes, Captain." *Bore chews on his inner lip.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: (Lower lip*)

[10:47] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= FOURTY MINUTES?

[10:47] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Why is the captain yelling!"

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...

[10:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *to the reptilian* We will have to come back for you. But we will be back.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she blinks at Marcus as if he just asked a crazy question-- "um, lizard people." --she says
in a hushed tone directed away from the main screen.--

[10:48] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "If I push very hard, 15 minutes. At best."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Don't be racist, Ensign."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hold tight and we will return.

[10:49] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Captain... all due respect... 15-20 minutes to save a life? Even with the drain
on the systems?"

[10:49] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Reptillian] My existence is in your hands, Tib-erious. I no longer have a purpose here.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks offended as she turns back to her console-- "that is not racism. It is just common
sense. Besides it would be more like specism if anything."

[10:49] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "I would say it is worth it."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Is the object traveling at a speed that we won't be ablew to catch it if we go to slipstream?"

[10:49] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *nods* Asada out.

[10:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain.....my current estimate based on settlement size and projected crew compliment of the two
ships....projects the current loss of life at 500,00

[10:49] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Alright, but you've got 15 minutes.

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: 500,000

[10:50] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Understood, Captain!" *Bore rushes out to do the neccessary modifications.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Sixteen minutes and we're at slipstream velocity.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Half a million people?"

[10:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The problem is not the speed. It is whe nwe enter slipstream we do not know if we where right untill
the tunnel coplases. and if we picked wrong. it will be gone form our sensors and teh trail will >

[10:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > be cold"

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....in one attack...

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is a lot of people."

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes....

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ..it is

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --feels a twinge of guilt and being so specist.--

[10:51] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ricky! It's a lot of work for 15 mins, I need a hand!"

[10:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We are now witteness to what is esstentially mass genocide

[10:51] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He scrambled to recalibrate the sensors for the depth they needed to reach.*  "I'm on
it, Bore!"

[10:51] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks!" *Bore works on the transporter signal meanwhile.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns her attention to the screen, looking a big sad and guilty.--

[10:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We need to get this guy talking about exactly what happened here, what this 'Guardian's
judgement' was."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Maybe we could send a team down to talk to him."

[10:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If we hope to combat whatever did this I must concur with Mister Blaine

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] And with respect...if something was able to do this to these two ships and
planets...as it stands, we are likely to fall to the same fate in a confrontation.

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *planet

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I doubt he has any actionable intelligence. He wasn't even aware that an attack on the
surface took place.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Especially if we don't know what did it."

[10:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, V'Tira. Work together to get a better estimate of the offenders heading, Tegan. scan the
planet to see... to see how it was done, what we are up against"

[10:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "He knew that -something- happened to the surface."

[10:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and we must inform the Citadel imediately...there may be other ships near other Kirtscan
settlements...perhaps even reach out to the Skara or even the Kzari given this is their general area of space

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: His religious reverence will cloud the accuracy of any information he could provide.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker, inform the Citadel.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I could beam over to the spaceships and retrieve thier sensor logs."

[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sends baker her data to send over subspace at this-

[10:54] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Any way to do that remotely Ensign?

[10:54] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Clearing up the signal is an actual bitch... though what if..." *Bore tries to run
interference with another signal that should cancel the first one out.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye sir.

[10:54] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "The phase cloak knocked the sensors out of alignment, I'm going to try and fix it!"

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Baker looks to Desiree.* Yes ma'am.

[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Desiree- Aye commander

[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =liks her initial projections into Baker and Ezri's consoles and begins to double check her own
estimates-

[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =links her initial projections into Baker and Ezri's consoles and begins to double check her own
estimates-

[10:56] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I thought these guys were cousins of the Kirtascans, they seem to have different terms for
their deity anyway."

[10:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy sighs.* This is at best an educated guess with our sensor abilitiess.

[10:56] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Damn. We need to speed the proccess up somehow, Captain and his goddamn
deadlines... Could we pull some more power in?"

[10:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Not likely sire."

[10:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: **sir

[10:56] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus wondered when Ezri was knighted.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Blaine, I need you to escort Ms. Tegan along with a security detail over to one of the
vessels to download their sensor logs.

[10:57] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "If we take some power from other systems, maybe."

[10:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We will need their complete computer core Ezri...it will contain data on this area of space

[10:58] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded.*  "We have scans of the interior of the vessel that it's life support is
functioning?  And, uh, attuned to us?"

[10:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good idea.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: EV suits, please.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I don't want you coming back with any diseases.

[10:58] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Let's go for non-essentail stuff, I'm pulling the power from mess hall replicators,
see how that fits us!"

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They have life support from what I can tell, sir.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and nods to V'tira.-- "Certainly I can set up a comm link between my tricorder and
the ship's database take the whole thing."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *shivers and closes her eyes, forcing her mind back out to the echo*

[10:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I will oversee the data transfer to a safe core

[11:00] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she takes off for the transporter room--

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly mutters looking at the lone signal on the planet below - ....And I alone am left to tell the tale

[11:01] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "There, signal is all cleared up now! How you doin', Ricky?"

[11:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Blot, McMillan and Naeidra, get ready to escort the science officer.  Full EV,
come armed and meet me in the transporter room."

[11:01] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "I'm still working!"

[11:02] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --rushes into the transporter room and heads to the lockers to grab an EV suit. She picks one
that looks like it has been washed recently.--

[11:02] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] =^= Aye ma'am!

[11:02] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [McMillian] =^= Gotcha boss.

[11:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'll give ya a hand!" *Bore goes to help calibrate the sensors.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "...Ensign Blot."

[11:02] [DOIC6] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Naeidra] =^= Understood.

[11:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] =^=...yes?

[11:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He turned and started for the armoury.*  =/\= "Please do not misgender me."

[11:03] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --after getting into her EV suit she climbs up onto the transporter pad.--

[11:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] =^= Oh...sorry.

[11:04] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus got in the lift, totally not triggered.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head as she sets up the secured core for the data transfer=

[11:04] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as she waits for security she adjusts her tricorder for the upcoming mission.--

[11:04] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Sensors calibrated, signal interference cleared..." =^= "Captain, everything is
ready, we can beam up the target!"

[11:05] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus grabbed a phaser and an EV suit and headed for the transporter room.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Good work Ristovski!

[11:07] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hey, Ensign," *he nodded as he got to the transporter room.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker, beam him to sickbay. Have a counselor meet him.

[11:07] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thank you, Captain. Ensign Ricky played a large part too."

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye sir.

[11:07] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Engineering out."

[11:08] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He beamed brightly and offered Bore a high five.*

[11:08] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "um, hi there." --she looks closely into the helmet to see who it is.--

[11:08] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore gave the high five, grinning.* "There we go... Now, we gotta keep our fingers
crossed for the guys in the EV suits."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked to see if his team had arrived.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Yes, he should be congratulated as well. Asada out.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius looks up a list of crewmen named Ricky*

[11:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Blot, McMillian, and Naeidra all walk in.*

[11:09] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as an after thought she climbs down and heads to the locker and also grabs a small
engineering tool kit.--

[11:10] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --then heads back to the transporter pad--

[11:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The security team step up to the pad.*

[11:10] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Good, you're here.  We're investigating what sensors indicate is a deserted starship. We have
reason to believe the same thing that wiped out the planet wiped out the people on the ship."  *He got...

[11:10] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: on the pad.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Burries her long nails in to her palms untill she draws blood to try to keep her emotions in check*

[11:11] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "So be prepared it is likely to be really creepy over there."

[11:12] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He eyed Ezri, then conceded,* "Probably, yeah."

[11:12] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I wouldn't want any one to get scared." --she says nervously--

[11:12] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We train for stuff like this, Ensign.  Nothing to worry about."

[11:12] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Everett] Ready?

[11:12] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh good then."

[11:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns and looks back over to Desiree-

[11:13] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Energise."

[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks back to her console and continues her work-

[11:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Those on the pad dematerialize...*

[11:15] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *...and rematerialize in pitch black darkness.*

[11:15] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she dematerializes and then is rematerialized on the alien ship.--

[11:15] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus activated his helmet light, scoping out the area they had beamed into.*

[11:16] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she finds herself in total darkness. She turns on her suit light.--

[11:16] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "they could have atleast left a light on."

[11:17] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "They may have had other concerns, Ensign."

[11:17] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she begins scanning the internal structure of the ship looking for some sort of data network
she can follow back to the computer core.--

[11:17] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I suppose you are right."

[11:18] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Anyone see anything that looks like an access panel to get the lights working?"

[11:18] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ezri's scanner shorts out in her hand, causing a mild electric shock.*

[11:19] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Protector, we've arrived on the alien ship.  No light and no signs of life
yet."

[11:19] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks down at the scanner in stunned disbelief.--

[11:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *sighs as she tries to force aside the impressions, opening her eyes and studying her hand for a
moment before casually cleaning it off on the hem of her skirt*

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= Undersstood.

[11:20] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "We'll keep the channel open."

[11:20] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks around using her engineering talents to find a good direction to head in to find
the computer core.--

[11:20] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked at Ezri.*  "Anything?"

[11:20] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] I think I found something!

[11:20] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Report."

[11:21] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am having a minor technical issue with the tricorder."

[11:21] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] Some sort of access panel to this console.

[11:21] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked in the Bolian's direction.*

[11:21] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Think you could try that instead?"  *He pointed to the panel Blot was indicating.*

[11:21] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and look at Blot--

[11:22] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she moves over and looks at the console--

[11:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] I think it needs some sort of power source.

[11:23] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Did anyone bring one?"

[11:23] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks over the console, trying to see why it has no power.--

[11:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( my dudes imabout to nod off, desire can you take you from here <3

[11:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( good work all love episode angelboy

[11:23] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If necessary I could probably adapt a power pack from a phaser to work with it."

[11:24] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's keep our phasers intact for now.  We can have the Protector beam one over for us."

[11:24] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well sure, if we are going to have the Protector beam us stuff then I could use a new
tricorder."

[11:25] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --the one she has is still smoldering.--

[11:25] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Protector, we could use a power pack to hook up to this console we found... and
a new tricorder for Ensign Tegan."

[11:25] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Maybe send her a spare as well."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Would an engineer team help?"

[11:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- What happened to her tricorder?

[11:27] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --stand there feeling dejected.-- "I can handle it."

[11:27] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Let's try to keep it light over here.  The pack and the tricorders should be fine."

[11:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, please send it over"

[11:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Understood, sending it over now"

[11:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How is our guest... physically?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Transporting now.

[11:28] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --constines to examine the console for a likely access to connect external power.--

[11:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A small generator along with a replacement tricorder materialize.*

[11:29] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus headed over to pick them up and bring them to Ezri.*

[11:29] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she tries to rub her chin, but the helmet gets in the way.--

[11:30] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she opens a small access.--

[11:30] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Where do you want it?"  *He gestured to the generator.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sickbay reports he appears to be in a healthy condition.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira. Have we recived any replies from the citadel?"

[11:30] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If I hook the power here it should provide power to the system."

[11:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Thank you, Baker"

[11:31] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she points to a spot near the console.--

[11:31] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded and set it down at the spot indicated.*

[11:31] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *And then handed Ezri her new tricorder.*

[11:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I... may been a bit absent minded at a few times. Was it confirmed that the suspect is the same as
what was reported by USS Pilgrim?"

[11:32] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she takes the tricorder and usse it to scan the console.--

[11:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am waiting to hear back from the Citadel on the sensor data and reports we sent them Commander

[11:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] None of us have seen what it is...

[11:33] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as she activate the scan she cringes as if expecting it to explode.--

[11:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It was a black cloud matchign the pilgrims description very well"

[11:34] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she adjust the position of the cable, then activates the power generator.--

[11:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ummm...how do you know?

[11:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Given the type of damage we can estimate this is the same entity or one closely related

[11:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What it did left a... scar, a echo, I watched it come ehre and... do what it did"

[11:36] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus continued to search the room they were in for any sign of the crew or what had happened
to them.*

[11:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The console briefly comes to life, but then powers off again.*

[11:38] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I think power is likely not adjusted to the correct frequency.--

[11:38] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she adjust the frequency.--

[11:38] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Away team to Protector.  We may need an engineer here after all."

[11:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks over at Desiree at this- A telepathic echo?

[11:38] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks offended.--

[11:39] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked nonplussed.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ma'am...they are requesting an engineer.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Telepathy is just a another set of senses to precive the world. I am not sure if the echo itself was
telepathic as such, rather that telepathy allowed me to see it"

[11:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Stand by and we send one over"

[11:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Bridge to Ristovski"

[11:40] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Thank you Commander."

[11:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Ritovski reading?

[11:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Kit up and suit up in EVa and head to the transporter room, they need your help recovering the
datacore of a ship"

[11:41] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Be safe, Bore!"

[11:41] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Understood, Ma'am." *Bore grabs his kit and rushes towards the transporter room.*

[11:41] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'Good luck to you too, Ricky!"

[11:41] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  *He gave Bore a thumbs up!*

[11:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Transport him over whenever ready"

[11:42] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore enters the transporter room and suits up quickly. After checking his seals, he
stands on the pad.* "Energize when ready, please."

[11:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Bore is beamed away...*

[11:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *...and materializes next to Ezri.*

[11:43] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore gets his bearings, then looks around.* "So, what's the issue?"

[11:43] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: (MT)

[11:44] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Protector, engineer has arrived successfully."

[11:44] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore gets his bearings, then looks around.* "So, what's the issue?"

[11:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Understood"

[11:44] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --give the engineer a competative look, and moves toguard her tricorder.--

[11:44] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The console doesn't have power."

[11:45] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We had a generator beamed over, something about the frequency that needs adjustment."

[11:45] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am trying to hook it up to an external generator. but the power seem incompatable."

[11:45] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Okay, just give me a moment, then." *Bore tries to take a look at both console and
generator, to see what the issue might be.8

[11:45] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "possibly a frequency issue."

[11:47] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: watches Bore, she is still protecting her tricorder like it is her baby.--

[11:47] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Tsk. Hasn't been configured to distribute enough power for the console..."

[11:48] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --her eyes narrow at Bore-- "I knew that."

[11:48] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus sighed, looking at his security officers.*  "Anything to report?"

[11:49] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore seems to mostly ignore Ezri for the moment, looking around.* "Imma try to re-
adapt the console." *He opens the access panel to try just that.*

[11:49] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks over the console to see if it is fully activated.--

[11:50] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore manages to readapt the console, and goes to try to start the system again.*

[11:51] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The console boots to life.*

[11:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Studies the officers remaining on the bridge, trying to asess them*

[11:51] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Let there be light..."

[11:52] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He tries to use the console to put the lights on first of all.*

[11:52] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --examines the console.--

[11:53] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she adjusts her tricorder to set up the data transfer.--

[11:53] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Good job, Ensign."  *Marcus nodded at Bore approvingly.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is doing her best to remain upright.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Wiebe is calm at her console.*

[11:53] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, LT. The way should be open for data transfer."

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Hunkler is unflappable.*

[11:54] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Away team to Protector, we have the console powered on.  Beginning data transfer."

[11:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Understood"

[11:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "see if the data holds any advice to ur next destination as it comes in"

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes ma'am.

[11:57] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "How's it going, Ezri?" *Bore waits on the transfer.*

[11:58] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: ---she looks around awkwardly-- "It is not working."

[11:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -monitors the data transfer to the protected core-

[11:58] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she smacks the tricorder--

[11:58] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore sighs.* "Let me see." *He goes, to look into the little trill's tricorder.*

[11:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -seems like her usual never tiring self-

[11:58] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What do you mean?  Is it not connecting, or do they use a different format or something?"

[11:59] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --then she smacks it harder.-- "it is not connecting."

[11:59] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Can I try?" *Bore holds out his hand for the tricorder.*

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ezri's tricorder is totally ded.*

[12:00] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ezri's tricorder is totally ded.*

[12:00] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ezri.. this thing is fried." *Bore takes his tricorder out and tries to start the
transfer there.*

[12:00] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks to make sure she picked up the correct (working ) tricorder.--

[12:00] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...How did you fry -two- tricorders on one away mission?"

[12:01] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Shit happens, I once melted a console twice within ten minutes."

[12:01] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --her eyes narrow-- "sabotage..."

[12:01] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked unconvinced.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Admirable -as she studies the data -

[12:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The ships made a fina valaint attempt to block the cloud from the planet

[12:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They...were all ..consumed

[12:04] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I am sending it all to the ship, we need to hang around a bit for it to be finished.
All in all, quick and easy."

[12:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: This is indeed either the same being....or one similar...this is very much an Asset of the Dark's

[12:04] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded and looked at the team.*  "Keep an eye out, just in case."

[12:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes. the cloud jsut sweept over them like a devouering... cloud. ignoring thier heroism as it was not
even worth its energy"

[12:05] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'Hand me your tricorder, Ezri, I have nothign better to do as is, might as well try
and fix it."

[12:06] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shield the tricorder with her body-- "that is okay I got it."

[12:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...this is what the data has confirmed

[12:06] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore raises an eyebrow, but he smiles, a bit endeared at her antics.* "Of course."

[12:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is a very similar attack to the one wittnessed by the Pilgrim Commander

[12:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "forward it to the citadel so that thier civilization, their lives, heroisms and the unfathomeble
wrong done to them shall never be forgotten"

[12:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and bundles up all the data and sends it over the ACCI feeds back to the Citadel-

[12:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Aye COmmander

[12:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Was there anything sugesting where it went after?"

[12:08] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and looks around examining the rest of the room.--

[12:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Assessing such now

[12:09] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore remains close to Ezri, obviously protective of her.*

[12:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -goes over the navigational data and any projections or attempts to warn aother systems

[12:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yet a part of me fear that... persuing such is not an task no matter our good hearts intention we can
jsut throw ourself in to without preparations... or friends.

[12:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They bear out my initial calculated proections...the next system to fall under attack will be Star System
LMC-0061

[12:10] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she raises her tricorder to scan the area, but then realizes that is not happening.--

[12:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If we slipstream there, will be be there in time to warn them to evacuate?"

[12:10] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore helpfully scans the area himelf.*

[12:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Likely no...I am unconvinced that we will be able to even harm such a being given our current data and
what we have of the Pilgrims records

[12:11] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she look at Bore scanning with a sad look, then looks into the darkness of the corridors
wondering if there are any ghosts.--

[12:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, but if we can alert thsoe living in 0061 and give them a chance to get away before it is to
late, there is an course of action we should persue"

[12:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Our telepathic defenses and attacks are by and large in effective against such beings....and have only
effected their Apostate minions

[12:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes"

[12:15] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus glanced over to check the download progress.*

[12:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps if we send a warning to all three systems and include what we found here....some might be spared

[12:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, the problem comes to that we know so little what is in those systems"

[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Inform any such fleeing or refugee craft to proceed towards the Citadel for safety?

[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -look back to her- Does that matter?

[12:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Depends who you ask"

[12:16] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Transfer complete.*

[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Elaborate?

[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Non warp capeble culture with early 'space age' listening technology"

[12:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -secures the download and begins to run full translations analysis-

[12:17] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Away team to Protector, we've finished the data transfer.  Want us back aboard, or should
we look around a little more?"

[12:17] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore looks down to the tricorder's ping.* "We're ready to go home."

[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "If you think you can find something useful, you have a few more minutes, Lieutenant"

[12:18] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked at the others.*  "Anyone got a reason to think there's anything else here?"

[12:18] [DOIC4] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't think there is any thing else of any interest here/"

[12:18] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore keeps on scanning, keeping close to Ezri, as if worried she might run off like a
little kid.* "Just a moment to complete this scan."

[12:18] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sure."  =/\= "We're going to let Ristovski finish his scan and then we'll head home."

[12:19] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The seucrity officers shake their heads.*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Understood, let us know when you are ready"

[12:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira, Baker... Prepare an warning message to be sent to those systems"

[12:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Aye commander

[12:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =does as ordered-

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye ma'am.

[12:20] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Everything clear, nothing of note. We can head out on your orders, LT." *Looks to
Marcus.*

[12:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -uses the language translations extrapolated from the recovered data to do so-

[12:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What is the shortest time someone ever been a lieutenant commander? Anyone knows?"

[12:22] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Protector.  Six to beam back."  *He got in position so the editors knew where
to put the beam of light.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, get them home"

[12:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The six crew members dematerialize...*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Understood, stand by"

[12:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *...and rematerialize on the pad on the Protector.*

[12:23] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stepped off the pad and removed his helmet.*

[12:23] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *So did Bore.* "As I said. Quick and easy."

[12:23] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "That's what she---"  *He stopped himself.*  "Good work over there."

[12:24] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, LT." *Bore starts taking off the rest of his EV suit too.*

[12:24] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she quietly steps down off the pad and head over to the locker removing her EV suits and
puting all her working gear away.--

[12:25] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked at the security team.*  "Get cleaned up, we're still on red alert.  You all did
good."

[12:25] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods to everyone, offering Ezri a comforting smile, before heading out.*

[12:25] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He took off his EV suit and hung it up with the others.*

[12:26] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she picks up the two defective tricorders and leaves the transporter room with them, headed
for the lab--

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They are on board, ma'am.

[12:26] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore enters engineering.* "Anything new?"

[12:27] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "They released commemorative Pilgrim action figures."

[12:27] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she enters the lab and walks over to one of the work tables and in a huff she drops the
damaged tricorders on the table with a loud bang.--

[12:27] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Uh. Cool, I guess? Which ones? Is Commander Xalot there?"

[12:28] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Careful...

[12:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay facepalms.*

[12:28] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "No, they're for two people who died on an away mission I guess."

[12:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Through loss of rank for puniative reasons or ceasation of life functions Commander?

[12:28] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: (Derp, missed the commemorative part)

[12:28] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus headed for the bridge.*

[12:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, -commemorative-. Sorry, ears are still getting used to being outside the
helmet... and damn, that's rough."

[12:29] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she give the other science officer a little glare as she begins scanning one of the damaged
tricorder units.--

[12:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I was thinking of the reason being Compton. So both I suppose?"

[12:29] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "It's kind of sweet, one of the people who was made into an action figure was a huge
fan of the show."

[12:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Punitive reasons works"

[12:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stepped back onto the bridge.*  "Hope you didn't miss me too much."

[12:30] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Shame he had to die to get a figure, then."

[12:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Not at all"

[12:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Well... Maybe a little" *Smiles slightly"

[12:31] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she takes the two damaged tricorders and locks them away in one of the lab lockers.--

[12:31] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Was just trying to help.

[12:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How did it go?"

[12:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Lt Commander Kevin Albert...USS Randolph Stardate 226.45 was promoted and during his acceptanc speech
confessed to sleeping with the Admiral's wife...time at rank ..13 minutes 47 seconds

[12:31] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "everyone is trying to help.." --she huffs.--

[12:31] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore pulls out his PADD.*

[12:31] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shot her a smirk before heading back to his activity table.*  "We get anything interesting?
And it was---"  *He trailed off and looked at V'Tira with confusion.*

[12:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "At least I wont go to the history as the shortest... that is good!"

[12:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed the record is in no current danger at present

[12:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "13 minute logn accepteance speach tho?"

[12:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I now fear I did it wrong"

[12:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: As i understand it there were several promotion aboard ship

[12:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: promotions*

[12:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Makes sense I guess"

[12:33] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] We are a team...

[12:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Someone care to fill me in?"

[12:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: as well as a few awards being issued

[12:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Marcus- Crime

[12:34] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: ---she groans a bit at that. before seeing her telepathic amplified and she seems to chear up.-
-

[12:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...That doesn't help."

[12:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Criminal activity rarely does -nods-

[12:34] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she wanders over and picks up the device and places it on her head.--

[12:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "As chief security officer of this ship, I'm contractually obligated to agree with that."

[12:34] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --it is obviously awkward and heavy--

[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am considering sneding a warning message to all three systems in the line of the cloud. we do not
know what is in those systems, butthere is always a risk it is a pre warp civilization"

[12:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We must weigh the option of the threat this entity represents

[12:35] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I need to start testing right away."

[12:35] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wuyang] Ummmm....

[12:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If they're pre-warp, the message may simply miss them altogether if they don't have the
technology to receive it."

[12:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "One persons demotion is not even a price when it comes to if that saves countless lives"

[12:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Still, we should give them a fighting chance.  At least tell them to get underground like that
guy did."

[12:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "So, Lieutenant V'Tira, Lieutenant Baker, you are both ordered to transmit the message to the spcified
systems"

[12:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Logically I concur...though I point out...given the scope of what else has occured these last few weeks
for the Admiral...you may get a cititation

[12:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -does so immediately-

[12:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "That's a citation I'd stick in my medal case."

[12:37] [DOIC5] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she plugs the device into the control console and starts running through its diagnostics.--

[12:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I must concur

[12:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes ma'am.

[12:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy transmits.*

[12:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We will hold position untill the citadel gives us new orders. hopefully it is to deliver that poor
being to the citadel. Please update them of what we done and we are holding for futher >

[12:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > instructions. bring the slipstream down to standby."

[12:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Commander, could I make a suggestion?"

[12:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Belay the part of slipstream, keep it active incase we are asked back to the citadel"

[12:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Go ahead Blaine?"

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]...aye ma'am

[12:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We should check the security recordings from the alien's ship... if there are any.  Maybe they
captured whatever it was that killed these people."

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They did

[12:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We know what it was

[12:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The large black cloud, likely the same as what we been reading about from USS Pilgrim"

[12:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus frowned at that.*  "It's made it all the way out here?"

[12:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Either an indentical enitity or the same one

[12:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is a disipile of the Dark Lieutenant...there may be more than one of these beings

[12:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You are free to watch it if you wish, perhaps it even gives insight to exactly how it does its
horrors. and maybe a clue how to stop it"

[12:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I've got a buddy on the Pilgrim who saw it firsthand... maybe we should compare notes."

[12:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That could be very useful"

[12:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods at this as well-

[12:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Though i do find its behavior...to be ...curious

[12:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Elaborate?"

[12:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why has it not followed its mistress to the current battle inside the extensive storm in the Black Ocean

[12:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked at Baker.*  "Could you try contacting Lieutenant T'Ghor on the Pilgrim?"

[12:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He considered this, scratching his beard.*

[12:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We are receiving reports of heavy fighting there...

[12:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I felt it had an overwhelming urge to consume, to bring order. Not that it is to best answer"

[12:47] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If it's the same one that they released when the Pilgrim was there, it could be that it's...
hungry after all those years."

[12:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to her- Yet...is that not the purpose of its Mistress? to not conform to orders...it is sowing
chaos

[12:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I however do not think the dark is yet so desperate she needs to consolidate all her assets in one
battle"

[12:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree....the Dark just lost an engagement to the Avynei, Awakened and the Adagio

[12:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks.*...lost?

[12:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The dark has lost many battles. Yet few losses seem to cause the last ditch behaviour"

[12:49] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore lets out a loud cheer, listening in on the bridge feed.* "Yeah, take that, you
horny bitch!"

[12:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Dark attempted to destroy a Xery vessel according to reports that held 800,000 crew...the ship was
recovered with all hands

[12:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Xert*

[12:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus shifted his jaw.*  "Let's try and think about this.  You're stuck in a big crystal for
who knows how many years.  This thing may not have her sensors in alignment right now."

[12:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Perhaps more so now then before. She needs to 'show' she is untouched, that she is ever present. To
widraw forces and put them all at the same place would show weakness. playing it as the defeat did>

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Those battles you are recalling are against the Apostate fleet and secnd line warriors

[12:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > not even matter holds the illusion she is invinceble"

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: the Avynei are engaging her top of the line forces...

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps

[12:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Are we sure they are her top of the line forces?"

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Am I? No...but the reports from the Adagio seem indicative of such

[12:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The reports of the forces faced...seem to ...exceed those we have faced to date

[12:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And there's one other question, too.  Why wait until now to unleash this thing, if it was the
Dark that sent the Kirtascans to do that?  It could be the Dark was keeping a dog that had gone rabid...

[12:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: alive instead of just eliminating her."

[12:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think it was Captain Talia herself who hinted at something quite important to keep in mind when it
comes to the dark ,shortly after the battle of the Citadel. My memory may be in error of course"

[12:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Marcus- a veyr real possibility

[12:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Which was Commander?

[12:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Marcus- The Dark has been shown to keep such uncontrollable beings imprisoned

[12:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Could it be that she's getting desperate enough to start letting them out?"

[12:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A distraction....to pull away the Avynei

[12:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: or some of their forces

[12:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I do not remember it exactly. But when I think of it. The battle of the citadel, with all we faced
there, and now looking at the back sea, they have much in common."

[12:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I was Captain Talia who pointed out the forces faced at the battle of the citadel were nothing but second
line warriors and devoted species

[12:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It was Captain Talia who pointed out the forces faced at the battle of the citadel were nothing but
second line warriors and devoted species

[12:56] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] Beta watch...please report to your stations.

[12:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "While teh dark sea will be an momenteous battle. I do not think she is so desperate to call back all
ehr troops for final stands... yet"

[12:59] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I don't think this is much of a final stand..."

[12:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I concur...both are plausable...i still find this beings behavior..curious

[1:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It's a death cloud... I don't expect it to behave logically."

[1:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No.. The war is far from over, but perhaps the black sea will be seen as that day the flares changed"

[1:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is only its phsyical manifestation

[1:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Or... a woman who changes into a death cloud?  Or a being that changes into a woman that changes into a death cloud?"

[1:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe this creature to be similar in nature and power to the Sentinel's 'Guardian'

[1:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Guardian?"

[1:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or the 'Ladies' the Avynei worship

[1:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Sentinel has for years...perhaps going back to the invasion of Ardana III been 'protected' by a very powerful being of 'lght'

[1:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Like what custos does to us?"

[1:04] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: **All across the ship, eager Beta officers flocks to their stations to take over **

[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Doctor Spencer...K'Rika....Scrap...um Lt Daniels seems to be able to speak to it through song

[1:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "So like... powerful beings, one or two tiers down from the Dark's level?"

[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps...they are similar in nature

[1:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am unsure what exactly is the nature of the Guardian

[1:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore gets chased out of engineering by his relief, and heads to the mess hall.*

[1:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do know from certain reports it seems to even share a kinship with Commander Decia

[1:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Maybe the Pilgrim isn't the only ship we should be contacting."

[1:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: who now seems to ...have become accepted by the Avynei

[1:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Marcus- I believe each ship of this fleet now has experienced such contacts

[1:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Gigantes even speaks of a pair of such beings much like Custos

[1:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "The whole chessboard's being revealed..."

[1:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-

[1:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The Gigantes?"

[1:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Desiree- Yes

[1:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I must have missed that"

[1:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is unconfirmed....scuttle butt as they say picked up on leave on Risa

[1:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Still, if you two don't mind cutting into your off-time a bit, I'd really suggest we contact Lieutenant T'Ghor on the Pilgrim.  He saw the being himself and interacted with it.  He could have some...

[1:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: additional insight."

[1:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Pilgrim shoud still be in range

[1:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Last report had them returning to the Citadel

[1:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Feel free to use hte longrange communications. fill me in with what you learn"

[1:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded to the extra who had taken Baker's space.*  "Open a channel."

[1:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You can do it in private if you like lieutenant"

[1:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "The purpose was to add him to the discussion, Commander."

[1:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I already talk to him plenty on my own time."

[1:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh we where just idly talking theories, besides we should not take up the bridge to heavily when beta shift has started"

[1:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks somthing- As a reminder..due to time dilation...it will be around 4 am aboard the Pilgrim

[1:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am for waking him up...but that might just be me

[1:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You are free to talk to him, but do it from somewhere else then the bridge"

[1:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at that -

[1:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You can borrow the readyrooms communications equipment if you like"

[1:16] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll just wait until a better time."  *he shrugged and started off the bridge.*

[1:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No. It is the message it would send if I where to get directly involved, I am very curious if there is an interesting outcome"

[1:18] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus took out his PADD as he got to the ready room, typing something.*

[1:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Hands over the Conn to the beta OOTW who had been patiently waiting*

[1:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira?"

[1:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes Commander?

[1:21] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus sat down and powered on the console, opening a channel to the Pilgrim.*

[1:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Comming?"

[1:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and turns over hser station to her relief- Of course

[1:22] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [McClure]  =/\= "Bridge to Lieutenant T'Ghor.  You're receiving a long-range message from the U.S.S. Protector."

[1:22] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] =^= "Put it through."

[1:23] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The message was patched through to the console in T'Ghor's quarters.*

[1:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Do you wish to listen in with Blaine?" *she leaves the bridge*

[1:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am curious...why would you not wish to partake in such a discussion?

[1:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -follow her out-

[1:24] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Where are you?"

[1:25] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor]*

[1:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Because it changes the tone a great deal from some officers exchanging thoughts of an incident and thinking of creative thigns to something... more formal, if an XO pops in. It also can be seen as >

[1:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > something of... rude? To Captain T'Pang that I do not contact her regarding it, to my understanding, she was present and is very much involved in it"

[1:26] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "LMC 1077, it's not far from the Crimson Expanse.  The entire colony here has been wiped out.  Half a million people."

[1:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -considers this- Perhaps...though T'Pang should see the logic of it...she is of course a Vulcan

[1:26] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "1077? Maybe it went off our ship after it attacked us... It tried a telepathic attack. Pretended to be our dead, and convince us of the Dark's cause."

[1:27] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Are you sure it was on your ship at all?  I can't imagine it would make it this far in that short amount of time."

[1:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course, Yet why should I not reach out to her, or her XO, if I where to look deeper in to the incident myself? As it is now, it is on officer to officer level, it removes the tone of formality, >

[1:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > it holds doors of creativity open."

[1:28] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Not to mention... why would it bother attacking you telepathically if it was already on your ship?  Wouldn't it have just done it's death cloud thing?"

[1:29] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "Either it was on our ship, or another servant of the Dark. We are unsure as to the attacker's idenity yet. But the visions were all of people who died in the coud. And it wants to eat us. >

[1:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -eyes her a moment- Such formality...-nods- it agrees with you

[1:29] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And as all servants of the dark, it thrives on despair. It wants to... "Marinate' us first."

[1:31] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus considered this for a long moment.*  "Who saw these visions?  You and who else?"

[1:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *wraps her arms around V'Tira to hug her*

[1:32] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "One of my ensigns, the best friend of the one who was lost. The Captain, and one of the engineers who was down with us too. The engineer saw the engineer that was lost, and the captain, I do not>

[1:32] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Know.

[1:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -steps into her embrace to affectionaly return it-

[1:33] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Were any of them not on the away team to the surface when the creature was released?"

[1:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quietly- how are you holding up following the 'echo'?

[1:33] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "All of us were on the away team."

[1:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It was painful, but at the time felt nessesary"

[1:34] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And no one else saw them?  The cloud got extremely close to you all, maybe it... left something with you."

[1:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not see how you could not allow yourself to expereince it

[1:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It had to be endured

[1:35] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'Perhaps. It is still being debated, and we are all confused. Plus... many are still reeling."

[1:35] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor*]

[1:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes. I did owe it to those it took"

[1:36] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded.*  "It's a lot to take in.  The scope of what happened here..."  *He frowned.*  "We're sending along a warning to the systems we think are in its path.  Hopefully that will help save..

[1:36] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: lives at least."

[1:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly- I know...might i inquire of something however?

[1:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes?"

[1:37] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "Good. I hope T'Pang will give us the go ahead to start research on how to kill this. Because it should be stopped as soon as possible."

[1:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why did you not permit me to assist you?

[1:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It would risked my focus, I was barely holding on to it. I am sorry I came across as short, I barely remember that I replied to you"

[1:39] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I can't help but agree.  We think this might be one of the Dark's... I don't know what you'd call them.  If the Dark were an admiral, they'd be a captain or commander.  It's also not going toward...

[1:39] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: the battle in the Black Ocean, but heading off this way to consume planets.  It doesn't make much sense."

[1:40] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "I believe it is. She is hungry. Incredibly hungry. She needs to feed and strengthen up, in my opinion."

[1:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head and reaches up to lightly press two of her fingertips just under desiree's chin- You owe me no apology Desiree...I was not offended in the least

[1:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I trust your judgement

[1:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am glad someone does" *She smiles gently to V'Tira*

[1:41] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus drew in a breath with that.*  "This is creepy as hell.  You think a creature like that would need to eat life forms to charge up?"

[1:42] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "It's possible. Or she might be doing it out of pure, irrational anger. When I first locked eyes with her, it was the first time she tried to escape, I managed to deny her that... that time.>

[1:43] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And when our eyes made contact, I felt a deep hunger, one that could devour galaxies. And a hatred and anger that I doubt can be harnessed."

[1:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -holds her gaze- I do believe you will find I am hardly the only one

[1:44] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He was silent for a moment.*  "Then if she does consume them for fuel... energy... whatever it is, what the hell is she charging up that she can't already do as a death cloud?"

[1:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I did not say that. Are you hungry, or shall we go to your quarters?"

[1:44] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "I would much rather eliminate her before I found out."

[1:45] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You and I can definitely agree there.  Our data's been relayed back to the Citadel, you should have access soon.  Take a look over it and let me know what you think."

[1:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks an impish brow- You ask this as if they were mutually exclusive

[1:46] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "Will do."

[1:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Do not pretend you do not take great joy in seductively eating your cookies for everyone to see in the messhall, love" *She teases*

[1:47] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Thanks, man.  I'll keep you updated, we're going to get this bitch."

[1:47] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "Thanks for the new info... and I hope she will suffer."

[1:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shocked I am at this baseless accusation -says dryly-

[1:48] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If I get there before you do, I'll give her a few shots for you and your Ensigns."

[1:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -runs her fngertips softly around the edge of Desiree's chin-

[1:48] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "if you don't find a way to contain her till I get there, you owe me a drink."

[1:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baseless as a evil vilians secret lair"

[1:49] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "No promises.  Blaine out."  *He ended the call and leaned back in the chair.*

[1:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =blinks with an impish glint in her eyes- Did you just...make a compasion that would cast me in the role of a supervillianess?

[1:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: comparision*

[1:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hmmm... only if I get the be the vilian" *she playfully smiles*

[1:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Perhaps I have abducted baker and do oh so terrible things to her sweet body"

[1:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Indeed....the terrible death trap we should slowly lower her into

[1:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We? I thought you should save her?" *giggles*

[1:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Mmyes...of course we would have to battle before i could save her, I do confess...you would make an alluring femme fatale villianess

[1:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If you plead on your knees, I could dress up like I did for the ferengis station again" *she winks*

[1:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- A true temptres indeed

[1:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Mmmhmm... And I could place Baker in a tickleton 5000"

[1:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -cants her head to the side almost as if to move her ears further away from D at that- a most henious device love

[1:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And if you fail to save her and fall in to my claws, I shall expose you to the eartickler 4560XX"

[1:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -Both eyebrows go up at this- ....a vile machine -shivers an almost barely noticable shiver-...of which i have become...immune of course

[2:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Certainly not. and it is hopefully a good incentime for you to fail, or laught at your failure, literary speaking!"

[2:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is a but of a weakness I am forced to admit

[2:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh yes... Poor baker should you fail"

[2:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...for she is counting on me -nods lost now in Desiree's eyes-

[2:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think we should head to your quarters before something that may be a bit to appriciated transpires in the coridors"

[2:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -draws a deep brath to collect and contain herelf properly and she nods- A most logical Proposition..I concur however..we should continue this..talk upon arrival -lets her fingertip linger just a

[2:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a moment longer-

[2:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Mhmm" *She smiles, letting V'Tiras figner linger for a bit before leading her away*

[2:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -follows her off to their evening's most logial conclusion-
