[8:48][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Star Trek Adagio theme for tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UAYhUJJym
[8:49][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The scene opens with Adagio docked along the makeshift ring that has encircled a seeming miniaute blackhole looking sphere
[8:51][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The camera shifts to on the ring itself..covered in darkness..as the camera moves..the "blackhole" can bee seen to have a faint golden halo aura to it.
[8:51][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:and even has faint visible crackles of occasional golden energy lines shimmering on the therwise onyx surface of the sphere
[8:52][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The camera moves to a location..with a golden light on the ring itself where there is a gathering of the crew in their environmental suits
[8:53][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Their suit laterns do not illimuate far into the pervasive darkess, infactm the main source of light in their area comes from a crysta
[8:54][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The crystal is about the size of one's forearm and emits a brillant golden light
[8:55][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Talia is seen closest the the crystal..with her hand close to touching iot..as she is reaching toward it...the entire scenes is frozen in a moment of time.
[8:56][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:A voice..Talia's recent thoughts and reflects can be heard over the scene frozen in time
[8:57][DOIC]Talia@Isis:[Thoughts] -as she approaches the crystal- An incredible discovery has been found while we moved deeper into the Black Ocean hunting for the missing kzari freighter and the Kzari Cruiser Gellen's Pik
[8:58][DOIC]Talia@Isis:a small yet powerful blackhole was detected..and an energy signature that seemingly looks over it...a metaalic ring comprised of the debris from the graveyard of ships...Alliance and Apostate..fro
[8:59][DOIC]Talia@Isis:the last tsunami like surge from this choatic void in space...in here we have seen so much that redefines our notions of phsyics and temporal mechanics...defied terror and overcome so many odds...an
[9:00][DOIC]Talia@Isis:now here on a rescue operation we come across this...we met a being..another Ada..highly advanced and smiliar to the Ada we encountered in the Rolor Nebula that helped clean up after that horrifin
[9:01][DOIC]Talia@Isis:experiment with the Dark's crystals...the dark eneergy..andnow we find her..or another her..looking after this anomaly that just may not be ablack hole..but something more..wonderous...a cosmic egg..
[9:02][DOIC]Talia@Isis:not so unlike the one the Pilgrim brought back from its journey to the Gamma Quadrant years ago...the one that held a nascent galaxy of it its own...so very similar..now after the being departed..w
[9:03][DOIC]Talia@Isis:find ourselves before a warm golden light emitting crystal...my mind cannot help but wonder if this is connected to the Avynei Angel...of courage and compassion...the golden light...well as it ha
[9:04][DOIC]Talia@Isis:been said...without experimentation..there can be no discovry...this is why we are out here..i feel obligated to take a chance...for we are also still ont he clock..and we have learned the two ship
[9:04][DOIC]Talia@Isis:we seek are nearby....-takes a breath- Lor'vela..here goes nothing.
[9:05][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-continues to reach out towards the crystal
[9:05][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Watches Talia worriedly.
[9:05][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:(GM note..if you have questions or charatcer reactions..now is the time before we proceed
[9:06][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk watches this closely.
[9:06][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Tries to reach out to Talia telepathically, to shield her mind if need be.
[9:07][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia slips a medical tri-corder from her belt and begins to monitor Talia's lifesigns while she touches the crystal
[9:08][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:(alright...moving on
[9:10][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[-the guards Esterhaus and Evers watch onclosely weapons out but pointed down
[9:10][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:As Talia touches the crystal the entire area fill with blinding light..and the sense dull..and all have a sense of virtogo and general dissorientation..
[9:11][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-tries to hold on to the crystal now with both gloved hands
[9:11][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Moments pass the the first sense to return is that os faint sounds..
[9:11][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos stumbles about in the blinding light, trying to grab onto anything.
[9:11][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk stands still, waiting for it to pass.
[9:11][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk stands still, waiting for it to pass.
[9:12][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-her antennae curl downward as she tries to fend off the vertigo
[9:12][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Oddly familiar blips and chirps reminscent of consoles at work providing feedback and infortation on thier ship
[9:12][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*Sin reached around to stabilize himself then
[9:13][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Then the sounds build...with faint, mumbling noises all around..
[9:14][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-blinks her eyes trying to bring the world back into focus-...report...all okay?? -tries to say
[9:14][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Load... load... load... load.. load... loaded... overloaded... standby." She recites mechanically
[9:14][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Then a new sound...more clearly...a constant resonating muted pitch...constantonyl growing in volume as it repeats..
[9:15][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I'm okay!" *He tries to call over the noise
[9:15][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:I am uninjured
[9:15][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The light is faiding the the noices are growing louder and more clear..
[9:16][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-takes amomentt o shake her head to try to refocus
[9:16][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-the guards both mutter..indicating they are alive as well
[9:16][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:and then suddenly the image comes into clear view as a cacophony of sounds washes over them
[9:18][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Their eyes come into focus on a bridge of a starfleet vessel...alert klaxxon blairing..intrument panels alit all around..people exicting shoutin
[9:18][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"What in the ladies name...
[9:18][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-snaps her head about on reflex hearing the alert- Report! -then looks to see if it is even her bridge
[9:19][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:To the left a blown and chared section still smoulders with fires from a recent explosion..several bodies near..some not moving
[9:19][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos looks at the starfleet crew, trying to feel their emotions, to see if they are even real people.
[9:20][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Her head angles down to the medical tricorder still in her hand, then over to the bodies. Her torso turns to match and she moves to tend to the wounded... or at least determine whether they are rea
[9:20][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The damage control team work to contain the fire..while others try to help the fallen...their view sweep to the main center..the captain..in the center chair...and out the main view screen a rag
[9:20][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:or an illusion
[9:20][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:raging battle in progress...and in the backdrop..the tidael surge of the Black Ocean growqing closer
[9:21][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...the battle of the line..-watches as she stopped short
[9:21][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Eventually the gourps vertigo subsides..and thier senses normalized again.
[9:22][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yes.. I don't think this is real, Captain.
[9:22][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Or well... not currently..." *Keeps trying to feel the people out.
[9:22][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:We were the shield of this operation...with the Kzari and Avynei...-nods- This must beone of the ships resting out there in the dar
[9:22][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-watches the scene unfold
[9:23][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Strange... this looks to be a memory... but I feel their emotions all aroudn me.
[9:23][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Truly? -looks over to her counselor
[9:24][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Fascinating
[9:24][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I feel them as clearly as I feel you.
[9:24][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to them both- That...changes things a little...-moves over to look at the fallen captain
[9:25][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Dacia...try and get a ship's name and registry from one of the consoles...record this if you can
[9:25][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"I must disagree with the counselor. According to these readings, we are the only life forms in the area." Abruptly she turns from a young officer choking to death on his own blood
[9:26][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-to Talia surprise the captain id not infact fallen as he leans back upright in his chair
[9:26][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I am not saying they are real, new girl.
[9:26][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods- I believe..in some manner here you both rig...-steps back a step- Lor'Vela
[9:26][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I am saying I feel their presence... as if they were... "Kept" here.
[9:26][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-the movmentson the bridge clearly indicate not only is the vessel on evasive manuever but also took a large direct impact
[9:27][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Aye, Captain." Slipping the tricorder back into her belt, she moves to a console and starts pulling up the data. "My apologies, Counselor." She says with no trace of remorse. She doesn't even tur
[9:27][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:look at him, preferring to stay on task
[9:28][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-eyes the captain some and tries- Captain?
[9:28][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:namless Captain -> Helm! Stablizers! We are in a spin
[9:29][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"As if you're watching a holorecording... but so much more... lifelike.
[9:29][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:namless helmsman -> I have not control captain
[9:30][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On the main view screen another starfleet vessel can be seen..closely in front
[9:31][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-watches carefully out of respect now...she looks up to teh mainscreen at the other ship to see if she can recognize her
[9:31][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-it does seem like Talia got a response
[9:32][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*he moved closer as well for a better look
[9:32][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks back to the Skipper- Captain
[9:32][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-theother vessel looks to be a heavy escort..Chimera class
[9:33][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:namless captain -> Comms! Ops..anyone..waves them out of our way
[9:34][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Watches the scene, but does not itnerfere.
[9:35][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-to the skipper- use your RCS thrusters...blow out your shuttle bay...-then stops herself
[9:36][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-as Dacia coes to work a nearby consoles..her hand pushes through it..as it is not there
[9:37][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:I do not think we will be able to control anything
[9:37][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:This disapearing act is one that she repeats several times, putting her hand in and out before abruptly spinning around. "I am unable to pull up the requested data, Captain.
[9:37][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On the main screen the vessel is ever so close looking about to collide
[9:38][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Puts a hand on Talia's shoulder.
[9:38][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to her officer- ..any chance at reading the LCARS displays Dacia
[9:39][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*His hand squeezes maybe just a bit too tight, Ankos fighting back an emotional response of his own at all the feelings he's receiving from around him.
[9:39][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-turns to the Captain - Fight man! do not let your ship be the cause of anothers loss..FIGHT for control! For them at least
[9:40][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-Ankos hand squeexze stops her then acting as an anchor
[9:41][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Her helmet bobs down an up once, and she turns again. Moving from console to console searching for whatever information she can glean
[9:42][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Just as it looks that there would be a collision..their is an explosion..and a flash of light....the impact jars the team..and they find themselves sensless once again..
[9:43][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-staggers as they are once more hit with the effect and finds herself fighting the vertigo once more
[9:43][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Uses Talia to keep himself steady more or less.
[9:44][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The effect is similar as this time as the team comes too that find themselves in an aqauatic enironment..and what is possibley a bridge of a Yanda scout veseesl
[9:44][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Esterhaus] -grabs a hold of evers and tries to steady themboth
[9:45][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-really has to scramble to balance herself..as normally this stuff is a solid on her homeworld
[9:45][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Swims around, a bit more used to this than the others.
[9:45][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The heads up display of the Yanda as an organic feel to it..as it shows large formation of shadow vessels and host of swarming shadow creatures all around
[9:47][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The Yanda are speaking in the native launage..more akin to dolphin clicks and chirps..so what they are saying is unknown
[9:47][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks about at the dolphin like beings..their first allies out here...as they operate their consoles
[9:47][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-the team have regains their senses again
[9:48][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Bridge is smaller....a scout
[9:48][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"This is fucked. The crystal has to have a reason to show us all this, but what?
[9:48][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I image so..
[9:49][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-looks out the view portals and displays
[9:49][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...a theme...there is a pattern here...this has to tie in with the graveyard and that anomaly Anko
[9:49][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Out of habit, she sets her tricorder to record audio. "Perhaps it is attempting to tell the story of how this place came to be. Begining with the battle that led to the wreckage.
[9:49][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> it does not look like any allied vessels are in the immediate area
[9:49][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to Dacia- and the people whoserved on the wreck
[9:50][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:So....she is alone for this encounter
[9:50][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Talia.* "Yes, there is a theme... but I still don't know why it would show us this. Maybe it wants us to free it from the debris field?
[9:50][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Gives Talia a little nod.
[9:51][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:or a clue to who or what is inside that anomal
[9:51][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:it all must tie togethe
[9:52][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On a comms channel that much had been open..some words in basic are understood...a male voice
[9:52][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:voice in basic -> pull out Cuttle-7, you are in too far
[9:54][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-as she listens- Keep in mind..i may have started this Ankos..like hitting playback on a library entr
[9:54][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The chirps of what seems to be the Yanda captain issues out..the crew act in unision as the vessel proceeds further into the enemy aramd
[9:54][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"It is possible, Captain..
[9:55][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-eyes the crew at work-....Defiance...against the odds...that denotes..braver
[9:56][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Despite their fear...their terror...they went in furthe
[9:56][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"The yanda are a remarkable people.
[9:56][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The Yanda vessel stard to shakes violently and on the display scans swarms of shadow creatures on the on outer hull
[9:56][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods awed by their courage some- Oh yes..clearl
[9:57][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Be sure to share what you see here with her Anko
[9:58][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*nods.* "I will show it to her.
[9:58][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:This scout...is way ahead of the line...they are pushing forward to get accurate numbers on the enemy forces....even at the cost of their own live
[9:58][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:to let the defenders on the 'line' better prepar
[9:59][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...these people must have been the crew that let us know where to reinfroce the line during that battl
[9:59][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Around them are echoing metalic groans on strained metal..reverated through the medium of water
[10:00][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Definitely... they were instrumental.
[10:00][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:What can only be wailing alarms ring on and various interfaces..
[10:01][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The suddenly there is a violent pull as the water rushes out and the teams sense fade again
[10:01][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:This time, Dacia braces herself. Sitting down on the floor, closing her eyes, and saving power for the duration of the transition
[10:02][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-staggers as she tries tokeep her footing
[10:03][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The scenes transtions again..and a dim bridge of what could only be a Kzari cruiser...the crew as cold steel and silent in facing and uncoming darkness
[10:05][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On the main view screen , again a raging battle and a massive dreadnaught of a vessel shimmer in shadows and firing lances are dark energy beam
[10:05][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:is on a direct collisions course
[10:05][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-the team return to their senses
[10:06][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-braces herself as she gets her balance back and looks about- Kzari this tim
[10:06][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:We were fighting right ont he doorstep of their world
[10:07][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"They aren't lucky with their placement.
[10:07][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Unfortunate
[10:07][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"They are right on the border.
[10:07][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:All of this was behindour lines..-smirks some-No counselor..i fear luck was with us that nigh
[10:07][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to him
[10:07][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"That night, yes... but I mean in general, the kzari take the absolute brunt of it.
[10:08][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods- they do indee
[10:08][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Around them the officer and crew issue controled and discplined order even in the raging battle...it look as if they are in the main battle light and are firing all weapons at the incoming vessel
[10:10][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-watches impressed by the disipline and courage she is wittnessing- ...to thier party..it was just words...but to their Navy is was love and duty for their homeworld
[10:11][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Mr Sevuk..your assessment at what we are wittnessing with all of this?
[10:11][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The weapons the Kzari are firing are hitting but seeminly to not major effect..and dark dreadnought is ever closer
[10:12][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"The navy were our backbone on Xert too.
[10:12][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to Ankos at that
[10:12][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The are speaking in Kzari so outside of afew rods on phrases is it mostly unknown what it said...however...the team takes not the helmsman looks at ask somethin
[10:12][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:They and the Avynei...the Alliance was brand new back the
[10:13][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:adn the "captain" said "No" in Kzari.
[10:13][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...he wont budge an inc
[10:15][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Magnificent valor -says her andorian accent clear for that
[10:15][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-to Dacia- Ensign...your assessment over all we are seeing here
[10:16][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The team watches ase and annoucement in main on all ship comes..briefly...as the cruiser maintained fire and an position..as the view screen filled with darkness..
[10:16][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:then the vertigo feel once again..
[10:17][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"I see one of two likely possibilities at this moment captain..." Her words break off as they transition again
[10:17][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looked to her science officer and the braces herself once more
[10:20][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The times the team feel enveloped in shadows and can feel an alient energy alll around them..
[10:20][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"This feels... wrong.
[10:20][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:the dimmes of purplse and crimson lights blends into the background form what little they can see around them
[10:21][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-fights to focus on where they are now
[10:21][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Perhaps we are now seeing things from the perspective of our adversaries.
[10:21][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...an Apostate ship? -to Dacia
[10:22][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On a purple holographic display..the crimson shards of a vessel split in half from an excuted raming..
[10:22][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*Sin blinked rapidly, regaining his senses once more and looking around at the newest scene
[10:22][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-the team somes to thier senes..thought muted as they are
[10:22][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I share that idea.
[10:23][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes, Captain. I believe we may be witnessing the interior of a Shadow vessel during the battle.
[10:23][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to Dacia and Ankos- The very ship that rammed the kzari cruise
[10:23][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Ive never..seen the interior of one thes
[10:23][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:..its.unsettlin
[10:24][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The wshipers are constantly in the background and the many voices isa chours rise the success of their recent attack
[10:24][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"It is..
[10:25][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:I pray Dacia's recordings...even those in her memory ...keep after this..this is ..an invaluable insigh
[10:25][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"As I was attempting to say earlier, Captain. At first I believed the crystal was attempting to tell the story of how this place came to be. However it seems unlikely it would show the battle in suc
[10:25][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The purple hologram expands as it how showing dark energy lances being dicharged at what looks to be a starfleet vessel
[10:25][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks over to Dacia
[10:25][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:detail, and would simply move on to the reconstruction process. I now believe this may simply be a memorial.
[10:27][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"A memorial is possible.
[10:27][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods- They are being recognized and honored...both sides..possible indeed..if not whole..i believe in part she is correc
[10:27][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks at the starfleet vessek to see if she canr ecognize her
[10:28][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On the holodisplay the Starfleet vessel damage is spiraling out of control..when a new contactis closing in..also a Starfleet vessel
[10:29][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Its her again...the same Chimera clas
[10:31][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-watches as the chimera moves in
[10:32][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...come on...come on -she mutters
[10:33][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The dark energy lances miss the Chimera and impact the already damaged vessel again
[10:34][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-closes her eyes at that- The chimera was trying to shield that ship..
[10:34][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods silently.
[10:34][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:On the display the Chimera does a most graceful barrel manuever closing in and fires a rapid array puplse of golden energy lances..blinding on the display
[10:35][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia's stention is less focused on the view screen and more on the interior of the vessel. Pacing methodically from 'station' to station, measuring the bridge with her steps
[10:36][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:All around the team their noticed shadows disapating witht the sound of horrifc shreaks...and the places in jostle and jarrin
[10:36][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...she got them..damnif she didnt get the
[10:36][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:As more convention weapons fire impact the shadow dreadnaught...and then sudden...vertigo once again
[10:37][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-staggers wishing tonight was not pie night..her poor stomach and head
[10:38][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:All is quiet except thier labored breathing of the team themselves...the sens the darkness all aroudn again..and a small area of golen light..
[10:38][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:as they regain their senses...they are back on the ring..near Talia...watching her..and her hand is on a glowing golden crystal seeming flowing mid air
[10:39][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-slowly removes her hand and steps back
[10:39][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Report...everyone..allright
[10:40][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yes... My head is thumping, but yes.
[10:40][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*He looked around at everyone and then nodded* Fine over here
[10:40][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Esterhaus] Here captai
[10:40][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Evers] Wow...yes Im here ma'a
[10:41][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Captain, according to my internal chronometer, no time has passed since you first touched the crystal.
[10:41][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:...intriguing
[10:41][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks to her- Your memory Ensign
[10:42][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"I will require a full diagnostic when we return to the ship. However... I believe I am fine.
[10:42][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"The emotions are coming from the crystals... strongly.
[10:42][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to her
[10:42][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Everything I felt was from it. The captain definitely... "Activated" it.
[10:42][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:If that is true Ankos..we know what type of crystal this is the
[10:42][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods to her.
[10:43][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-looks out at the status of the minuture black hole
[10:43][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-if she can see it from there
[10:43][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-it looks much as it has before
[10:43][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Mr Sevuk
[10:44][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Yes captain
[10:44][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Your assessment based on what we just witnessed
[10:45][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:It appeared to be a vision of some kind, likely augmented by telepathy
[10:45][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:...
[10:45][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:the content of it Commande
[10:46][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Our allies acted honorably and sacrificed much to assist us
[10:46][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to him- Mr Kodor...your assessment
[10:47][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-smirks at something and sighs nodding slightly
[10:48][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:I'm still processing it all captain.. Seeing the scenes unfold in times of chaos
[10:48][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Your initial impression then
[10:49][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-a small chuckle at something
[10:50][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:I noticed courageous individuals.. with little to no fear.
[10:50][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to that- Agreed..counselor
[10:51][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Can't tell you anything more than what has already been said, Captain... Acts of courage and sacrifice the likes of which won us that day.
[10:52][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods as well- Xae
[10:52][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"You described it well... pushing the playback button on a library.
[10:52][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Maybe...not just a library.
[10:53][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I believe this is the gift the Ada-like visitor delivered
[10:53][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:So we are to take it with us? or did you mean the visions themselve
[10:54][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> To Ankos..I believe it more than...a play back..as this seems to bear the context of those expericing it...I believe you mentioned the feeling are strong and real, yes
[10:56][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"*Nods to Xaelei.
[10:56][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"It feels like a memorial, like the ensign pointed out. But one you can experience.
[10:56][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae to Talia -> I believer the gift is the entire package..so both the crystal and what experiences it has in it
[10:57][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods- A gift of their courage...a memorial as well then. -to Xae- We should have it beamed aboardand properly secure
[10:58][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Seeits given its due respec
[10:58][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*he nodded at that
[10:58][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> If it is the type of crystal we believe it to be..it will be unable to be transported as you wish...it would have to be manually carried
[10:58][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"And shared as well. Every species who partook in the battle should have the opportunity to see what we have seen.
[10:59][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Wouldn't a box work to transport it?
[10:59][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I volunteer..as I am devoid of any meaningful emotion..
[10:59][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I am sure the avynei will display it at one of their temples, ensign.
[10:59][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Courage in the face of sheer terror...-nods to Xse with a smirk- Commentslike that will end up having you do more paperwor
[10:59][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Is there a such thing as an unmeaningful emotion?
[11:00][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Their angel of Courage Anko
[11:00][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Determination works too.
[11:00][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Sheis being a brat Ensig
[11:00][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Indeed it does...but i saw compassion in the acts of that Chimera class as wel
[11:00][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:and courage and compasssion are the domain of their Angel of Courag
[11:01][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods.
[11:01][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> On your order then captain, I will see to transporting and securing the crystal for now
[11:01][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Dacia once we get back aboard..i will need you to write up areport in great detail of what ytou recall from the Apostate bridg
[11:02][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:All right people..lets get back to the ship...ther eis still a missing Cruiser ad freighter out there in need ofour hel
[11:02][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Aye, Captain.
[11:03][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:and Dacia...'eyes only' that repor
[11:03][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Yes captain
[11:03][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain.
[11:03][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Understood.
[11:03][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods to Xae andto the others- Lets go ..-begins to lead them back to the ship
[11:04][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-as she passes Ankos shepats him on the shoulder and givesit a swqueezes in gratitude for his help earlier
[11:04][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*he nodded, glancing around the place once more before leaving
[11:04][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-the gurards fall in with Sevuk
[11:04][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Gives Talia a nod.
[11:05][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk nods to them.
[11:05][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-Xae pick up the crystal and much to everyone's relief..nothing happens
[11:05][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Esterhauas- Evers and i willhave our reports for you sir before next watc
[11:06][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-leads htemback down the ring and to the airlock of the Adagio- =^= Ada..alert the guards at the lock we are heading back insid
[11:07][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Ada -> -stutters- wwilll...doooo...-giggles!- Did I get ya, did I

[11:08][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I think we all deserve a drink...
[11:08][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Indeed...once we get back you are relieved from watc
[11:08][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:well done all of yo
[11:09][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:This was a vry important discover
[11:10][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Thanks, captain... and yes, it really is.
[11:13][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-leads them back in and through the airlock andheads to thelocker room to change out of hereva suit
[11:13][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos takes his off and takes a sigh of relief.* "I hate these things.
[11:13][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-nods- I am looking forward toa nice cool bath tonigh
[11:14][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-places her bracers andphaser carefully back into their wooden box
[11:14][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*he let a deep breath out as he returned his helmet back to its proper storage
[11:14][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I am definitely going to steal Ynera's water.
[11:15][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:-Xae heads off alone to a secure science lab to house the crystal
[11:15][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:=^= Ada...we are all back aboard...get us back on the search patternfor the missingship
[11:15][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-to Dacia smirking some- Go after her if you wish to help with the crysta
[11:16][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:[Y'Nera] -sits upright- Hmm...-wondering why she might need to guard her water tonight
[11:16][DOIC4]Xaelei@Arniman:Ada -> Relaying now..will break mooring momentarily
[11:16][DOIC4]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos stretches out.. and makes for his and Ynera's room to get first dibs on a soak.
[11:17][DOIC4]Dacia@nathan#353:"Thank you, Captain." With a sharp turn she goes to do just that
[11:17][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-to her officers- You can all stand down..but remain on standby..
[11:17][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-to her officers- You can all stand down..but remain on standby..
[11:17][DOIC4]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk discards his suit, nodding to Talia.* I will be ready, captain
[11:17][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:Yes ma'am
[11:17][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Good go get cleaned up and ea
[11:18][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:-notices Dacia as caught up with her
[11:18][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:Again..very well done tonigh
[11:18][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Curious about the crystal
[11:19][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-chuckles warmly at a thought
[11:19][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:-the guards bothnod to Sevuk and head out as well
[11:19][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Walks into the yanda-adapted quarters, warming the water up some, then dropping down into it with a splash.* "Oh, that's it.
[11:20][DOIC2]Dacia@nathan#353:"I am." She says with her eyes settling on the crystal. "It's curious that we found no clues as to who may have created it.
[11:20][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:[Y'nera] -giggles her races high pitched giggle squeeks at something
[11:20][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I am." She says with her eyes settling on the crystal. "It's curious that we found no clues as to who may have created it.
[11:21][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Indeed, much about them is a mystery
[11:22][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk heads back to his quarters, getting changed into his meditation clothing.
[11:23][DOIC2]Talia@Isis:-enters her cabin to get washed up and change
[11:23][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Do you believe it may be possible to study how the crystal works without harming it?
[11:23][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> The reason I am carrying it, is that they are multidimensional objects...and idea how many planes or dimensions they simultaneously inhabit
[11:23][DOIC2]Talia@Isis:-having to fend off Rinni until she feeds the little doggo
[11:23][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*Sin made it to pie night and picked at and nibbled his slice of pie quietly
[11:24][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I do not believe the issue is in use harming them. quite the opposite
[11:24][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Mom] -spoils Sin with Pie
[11:25][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> The event we experienced in the Rolor, is likely realted so a similar type crystal, thought resonating different eneries, experiences and emotions
[11:25][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -awaits him sittign right inthemiddle of his mediation mat..leash in mouth
[11:26][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Multiple dimensions..." She echoes. "That would explain why the transporter is unable to move it, it does not explain, however, why it did not activate again when you touched it.
[11:27][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[ https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/small-beagle-holding-leash-waiting-walk-dog-his-owner-waitingto-go-sad-to-221520822.jpg
[11:28][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> It is odd, but hardly the first time I have handled these
[11:29][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:I need to meditate
[11:29][DOIC2]Talia@Isis:-finshes changing as she watches Rinni eat...then takes him walkies real quick
[11:30][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -clearly disagrees with his current priorities and cutely cants his head at daddy
[11:30][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Is there a trick to handling such objects? Or it is a characteristic unique to your race?
[11:32][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I could just be lucky...I did similiar with interfacing with Iconian tech and other unknown as well
[11:33][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Forgive me for saying so, but that is a rather odd thing to say for a former science officer. There must be a reason. Your borg implants for example.
[11:34][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[ https://64.media.tumblr.com/970ac433ae2e210cbd21d3177787de3f/tumblr_omkszz3kGk1v4q9oio1_400.gifv
[11:34][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk goes to take a seat on his mat.
[11:35][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles[ -remains unmoved fromthe centerof the mat and shifts to/stare / up at him
[11:36][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk starts to meditate.
[11:36][DOIC2]Talia@Isis:-brings Rinni back to her quarters and lets her loose with her favorite squeeky toy
[11:37][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -whines
[11:37][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk opens one eye.
[11:37][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -leash in mouth waggy tail
[11:37][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Perhaps. One thing I do know for certain i the reaction is varied and wildely so. The inate hazard of experimenting make it extremely risky
[11:38][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> you saw what we experienced in the Rolor
[11:39][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:You are persistent
[11:39][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> There is also a manner of ehtics to it..many view them to be a lifeform or akin to know..with consciousness...thoughts and even a soul or many
[11:39][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -leash in mouth waggy tail even more so now as if in agreement
[11:39][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -begs no with leash in mouth and waggy tail
[11:40][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk rises and hooks the leash up.
[11:40][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -is a happy VERY relieved doggo...and goes walkies
[11:41][DOIC6]Xaelei@Arniman:-Sevuk get Robot Dog Walker
[11:41][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes, I remember the Rolor incident. The reality alterations make it difficult to draw useful conclusions from the encounter. But I remember the incident." A brief pause. "Is that what you believe
[11:41][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:That the crystals are alive?
[11:41][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -barksa nd snarls at the robo-walker
[11:42][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I do. You know the Artesia Gateway we used to cross into the LMC galaxy
[11:42][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk raises an eyebrow.
[11:42][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:What is that
[11:42][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I do.
[11:42][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] seems to think the robo-walker is anally to a vaccum clearner
[11:43][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Did you feel a presense while in transit
[11:43][DOIC2]Talia@Isis:-pats her lap and as rinni hops up..she is brushed
[11:44][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Yes, I was made to understand the presence is Hecate.
[11:45][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Curious
[11:46][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:-Sevuk is eventualy able to hook the beagle leash to the Robo dog walker
[11:46][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> In part...Hecate is much smaller..an anchor if you will..to the Milkway. Artesia has a similiar anchor here in the LMC..amd image Artesia as anchors in many places we do not know..and likel
[11:46][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Not all of the anchor are active
[11:47][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk observes Mister Boggles' reaction.
[11:48][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"So you are saying that the crystal is a key component of Artesia, and Hecate. And that is the reason we sense them.
[11:49][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Indeed
[11:49][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boogles] -surrenders and droops his littlehead as the leashis hooked up...sad beagle
[11:50][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Adagio has it own crystal on board already..but different than one such as this
[11:51][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk unhooks the leash from the robot walker and hooks it up to his own leash.
[11:51][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"That is what powers the light weapon we used to upon entering this area of space, correct?
[11:51][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> We found a large..seemingly inert crystal on a harsh..radiactive world it believe called RN-4
[11:51][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:[Mr Boggles] -huge tail waggies BIG happy doggo eyes yapping all excitednow
[11:51][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Yes...it is infact the heart of our Artemis system...both as a weapon and as a shield
[11:52][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> While the crystal we found seem inert..is has taken a live and resonance with it years here with us
[11:53][DOIC6]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk begins their walk.
[11:53][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Do you believe it may one day become sentient? The way the Citadel has?
[11:54][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:[Ynera] =at last is able to join Ankos, relievedof her encounter sut and to bein warm water oncemore as she snuggles up tohim
[11:54][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Wraps an arm around Ynera, half asleep in the water.* "Hey there.
[11:54][DOIC6]Talia@Isis:-Mr Boggles behaves and is asuper excited happy dog to be with his daddy
[11:55][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Mom] -contues to spoil sin with Pie
[11:55][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> Perhaps
[11:55][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:[Ynera] -snuggles up with him equally exhausted but beginingto finally relax- Hey back -happy fishy smile
[11:56][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:-as she finishes the secure storgae of the crystal in an eopn and shielded area of the lab
[11:56][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Smiles back.* "Everyone behave while we were away?
[11:56][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:[Ynera] Ohyes.a lotof nerves got settled when we heard you were all on your way bac
[11:57][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> I do hope at the least I have conveyed the care needed in handling..and perhaps a better view as an individual..and not an object
[11:57][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:-the yands leansback to playfully kiss the tip of his nose
[11:58][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Pulls her down some to smooch her lips in turn, grinning.* "Well, we made it. And now the captain told me to stand down and rest.
[11:59][DOIC4]Sinez@the5of43:*he pushed away the fresh plate of pie back to her* You're going to make me throw up now.. I'm full
[11:59][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:[Ynera] -nuzzles while returning the kiss and smiles more- Very genrous of her...jus tin time for me to go off watcha s wel
[11:59][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Mom] -takes it back- Well you did look like you neededit tonigh
[12:00][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"You have done a great deal more than that Commander. I now believe I have a better understanding of what may have happened to Eirane's memories. And how to help her.
[12:00][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*He smirks.* "Oh, yes... I think it will do us good. I already have tonight's movie set up... and I am ready to put an order in with Chef when you know what you want to eat.
[12:01][DOIC5]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I can pick it up real quick.
[12:01][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:-Xae offer a smiles in reply
[12:01][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:putting the offical end to the event..
[12:01][DOIC5]Talia@Isis:[Ynera] -thinks and then chirps out- Black berry pie please! andooo..what movie aree we to watch tonight??
