[8:50][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Star Trek Adagi opening for tonight starts with just blackness,,,and then soun
[8:50][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:(the soud being the very first part of this clip) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xesuf2kQh9
[8:51][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Someone is the galaxy spanning Black Ocean...the Adagio and Yukikaze are at stattion keeping as they assess their current situation
[8:53][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The scene shifts to the Adagio bridge and Talia pacing..looking out at the utter void on the main viewscreen
[8:54][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:Talia takes the time to summaries her thoughts on the situation as she address the bridge crew..
[8:55][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-looks fromthe mainscreen to her log padd and then back ot to the main screen and flips her PADD to her chair her eeys returning the anomaly theLady A and Yuki face- All right people here is what w
[8:55][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:face thus far....we are in the Black Ocean proper by now...no longer hugging the 'shoreline
[8:56][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Face to face with whzt justmightbe a vortex to a cross dimensional/universal rift...which is sendingoutweave of disrtuption that we have been encountering...not to unlkike the time wave distrubance
[8:57][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:discovered around two very old andc lassified Starflet missions...one over the Guardian of Forever and one once thought to have been a prelude to invasion,,,the Lazaerus effect/corridor
[8:58][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Beingin the black ocean proper we cannot fully rely if at all on our coms...sensors nor even our probes ..our ships are rigged for operaions here in the Ocean..but once our sensors and probes leav
[8:58][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:the protectionofour shields...they are pretty much unable to send back accurate dat
[8:59][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Which leaves us almost deaf dumb and blind out here in the faceof a very old unique stellar even
[8:59][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The two ships that we seek justmight be lost in this effect ahead of us...and their crews are runningout of time..what we need now are option
[9:00][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The floor is open...peopl
[9:00][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--Peebs looks at the screen nervously, then turns back to focus on her console.-
[9:01][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-turns away from looking at the spectualr anaomal to look at each of her officers and bridge crew
[9:03][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs
[9:03][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"This really ain't my ballpark, Captain.
[9:03][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smirks amused- I dont think itis really anyof our ball parks counselor..hence the open forum discussion -chuckles warmly
[9:03][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:GM note..these is nothign visible aside from the void
[9:04][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"my only suggestion is to grope around in the dark until we find what we are looking for...but, then the question is what do we do if we become stuck like the others?
[9:04][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Well, it's either that or we leave the others stuck.
[9:04][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smiles andnods to Maggie- Hence why we are talking Maggie..
[9:05][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"And that's not a particularly "us" thing to do.
[9:05][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Given the unrelability of sensors in this part of space, your empathic abilities may be our only hope in locating the missing ships. Given those facts I would say this is precisely your ballpark
[9:05][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Indeed Ankos -nods
[9:05][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Counselor.
[9:05][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smiles at Dacia- Well said Ensig
[9:05][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:If we were to do that, we'd have to closely watch the counselor this time
[9:05][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Just in case
[9:05][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Agree Mr Kodo
[9:06][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:However as Sinez just pointed out while the Dark has been somewhat silent herpowers are somewhat amplified in here since thisis an area of herown creatio
[9:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"I have a question..
[9:06][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Go ahead Maggi
[9:07][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"That Artemis cannon thing can be configured to produce light?
[9:07][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Indeed it ca
[9:07][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:We used it upon our initall arrival her
[9:08][DOIC]Xaelei@Arniman:The Adagio gently rocks for a bit what is believe from a wave emitating ahead where the dimensional "rift" may b
[9:08][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:and have used it tohold back her shadow beast minion
[9:08][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"..Maybe that might help us navigation in this...tar pit..
[9:09][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Tar pit...-nods- a good as name as any...and yes itis possible we may need to do that very thin
[9:09][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Ada -> The Artemis projector has been constatnly engaged while we have been in the Black Ocean already.
[9:09][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Ensign... you really don't know what you're saying.
[9:09][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods
[9:09][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I'm with Commander Kodor on this... in there I may be even worse off than the sensors.
[9:10][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"if there was anything out there for the light to reflect off the reflection could serve as a form of Lidar.
[9:10][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:I do not feel the need to sacrifice the counselor.. *he nodded
[9:10][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Potentially.. *he corrected himself
[9:10][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:My own initial dsire is to barrel straight into this Tar Pit and locate the missing ships...also have the Yukikaze fir flare torpedos into the eventhorizon to ease our relocating our way back out onc
[9:10][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Don't get me wrong, Captain, I'll do as commanded... but I think it may be a fool's errand that ends with me trying to mind-rape you.
[9:10][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:we locate themissing ship
[9:11][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smirks at that-0 Lets call that option..plan C then counselo
[9:11][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:My first plan doe not involve you as our guide do
[9:11][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he looked at Sevuk then ankos before shaking his head
[9:11][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-places a gentle handon his shoulder- I recall what she did to you my frtien
[9:11][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:I amnot eager to send you down that route once mor
[9:12][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk arches an eyebrow.
[9:12][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Talia.* "Thank you.
[9:12][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods to him giving hisshoulder a squeeze and looks to theothers- comments on my initial idea folks
[9:13][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Hope we bump into them you mean
[9:13][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"so we dive in at the deep end of the tar pit and hope we can get back out again?
[9:13][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:No...that we have the Yuki fire flare topredoes into the event horizin regularly while we are inside..to aid us in returning over the eventhorizonback toour space once we find the
[9:14][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:But esstenially maggie..yes to boldly go indee
[9:14][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:I do have some conjecture captain to add to our assessment
[9:14][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-to Xae- Please do X
[9:15][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Commander Kodor had an idea...
[9:15][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"But I can't attest as to its success.. using Commander Sevuk as a... shield, of sorts, while I use my telepathy.
[9:15][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:I mentioned my best guess is this dimensional rift and related it to the Guardian of Forever as example...bu
[9:16][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:..stil plan C Ankos -to him and then looks to Xae
[9:16][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:*he scratched his head at that
[9:16][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:I will do so if it is deemed necessary
[9:16][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-toSevuk- Plan
[9:16][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-looks back to Xae
[9:16][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Soul Crystals exists in such a conditional as well, they are objects in our realtiy that are believed to exist in many different dimensions as the same time
[9:17][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Not unlike the Guardian and Say Artesia and Hectat
[9:17][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Yes.
[9:19][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:My conjecture is dark energy itself also has these multidimensions proerties..perhas not the the same extent.
[9:19][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- I follo
[9:19][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:We have seems dark energy...crystalize, yes
[9:20][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The ones we salvaged from the Kzari cruiser we slavaged
[9:20][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Attemped to salvage..they proved highly resistant to gathering methods..
[9:20][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Indeed they di
[9:20][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"And highly prone to messing with my mind.
[9:21][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Mine as wel
[9:21][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:as well as Sevu
[9:21][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Just so...we ended up employing the Artesmis cannon to destroy the infected vessel hulk
[9:22][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Yes we had little choice given the situatio
[9:22][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The Kzari seemed to have perfected the procedure themselve
[9:23][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Indeed...so our soul crystal powered Artemis cannon has the ability to dark energy
[9:24][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae -> ability to effect dark energy
[9:24][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- Yes yes it doe
[9:25][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Can our canon be ...used to manipulate the energy..to allow us passage into the tar pit perhaps
[9:26][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:perhaps genrater something likeour warp bubbles...but using dark energy to maintain our bearing inside of the rift
[9:26][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Recall in historical records,,, the Enterprise encoutered a host of mysterious events and circumstances on thier ship..aand it turn out to be intruderd on a different plane of time, moving faste
[9:27][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The Scalosians
[9:27][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:-nods
[9:28][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Ys..their water effected thjem genetically to move at a faster rate thanusua
[9:28][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:To them out plane would has been almost as freezefram
[9:28][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--Peebs listens to Xae, with a glazed over look in her eyes.-
[9:28][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- Hours to us were seconds to them if i recal
[9:29][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Again..using them as a historical and relatable reference..time is one such dimension..yes
[9:29][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--looks around the bridge for signs of time accelerated intruders.-
[9:29][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods following- Yes of cours
[9:30][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Captain, I wonder if it may be better to employ the other soul crystal for this experiment. The one we retrieved from the debris field. That way we will not overtax the Artemis crystal
[9:30][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:My point to this conjecture is to offer context and to show we have demonstrated the ability to effect such forces already
[9:30][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Not an overly bad idea Dacia...but before theexpierment we need to get down the foundation paramters firs
[9:31][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:We need to understand just what dimenttionw e might need to manipulate here firs
[9:31][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:That sadly is an unknown and a doubt has a singluar answe
[9:32][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:No different than any astral body and multiple dimerions and elements that compose it..like a planet
[9:32][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Without our sensors we may not know..what to manipulate until we are inside of i
[9:34][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Even with them in full clarity..it would be guess work as well
[9:35][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- We may have to risk that..if those ships are inisde there...they do not have our assests and are runing out of tim
[9:35][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Sensors only can be attuned to what we are aware of..or can observe in some manne
[9:36][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--exhales sharply-
[9:36][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:even then..limited...for instance one cannot use them to scan for the joyous feelings nearby.
[9:36][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smirks- Obviously no
[9:36][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:or to scan the smell of a colo
[9:37][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:but we can observe those...and the sensor can pick up on physical enviroment reactions
[9:38][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Tru
[9:39][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:In this case..we can scan for an notice a large gathering of beings..and obverse them personal..and notice they are having a good time..
[9:40][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- I follo
[9:47][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Let me ask this then...what do we believe is the source of the Black Ocean
[9:47][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-looks about at her crew for their takes first
[9:48][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--Peebs gives her a blank stare.-
[9:48][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:The Dark
[9:49][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Well thatis the overly general term for the entit
[9:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"in all fairness we don't really know a lot of specifics.
[9:51][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Perhaps I am wrong, but I was under the impression that The Dark was an invading force from another dimension, and that the rift we are approaching may in fact lead directly to it's home dimension.
[9:52][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:The Dark is on a track of my thinking...She also has a strong emotion attributed to Her, yes
[9:53][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-to Dacia- I believe that is not entirely wrong..she is as far as we can tell is also a eing of mulrtiple ecsistences on multiple dimensional...her emotional tie is to the emotion of Terror. That las
[9:53][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:part we are quite certain..she ahs all but bragged it
[9:54][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:However...in this galaxy..her form or shgard ..is broken..insane..hence the imbalanceof terror found here
[9:54][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"The fully evolved and adult form of the soul crystals?
[9:54][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:which is a direct aspect of the emotion now itsel
[9:55][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smiles some to Maggie- its okay to take notes -winks to her
[9:55][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:I would not saw adults versions. It seems more apt the crystals are attuned to these primal forces
[9:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"ill review the bridge logs later ma'am...assuming there is a later.
[9:56][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:There will be alater Maggie...we have faced worse anf come throug
[9:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"i haven'y ma'am...but, i'll take your word for it.
[9:57][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Terror may have a projected persona, but is it still very much a force
[9:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**haven'
[9:57][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I only say that because from what I've been told the Dark has demonstrated both self awarness, ambition and the ability to communicate clearly. Where as the other soul crystals we have found have no
[9:57][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:The crystals tie into the forces like hers Dacia -nods
[9:58][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:If Avyeni lore is to be believed...we are the progeny of these forces
[9:58][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:It appearts sheis but one of many such cosmic force
[9:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"she is my least favorite of these cosmic forces..
[9:59][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:As Mr sevuk can attest to we have run into a few of them -looks at her owna rtifical arm
[9:59][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Many have mistaken communcation of these.."aspects" as telepahty, but it is not...they resonate within and individual, as if already apart of him or her
[10:01][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Dr Spencer of the Sentinel has reported such a thing occuring to her many time
[10:01][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"You mean to say it is a biological interface?
[10:01][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk nods.
[10:02][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Biological..no.
[10:02][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:to get this back on track..
[10:04][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Our vistor we recent encountered said she left us a gift, yes
[10:04][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:She di
[10:04][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods- I had assumed it was the soul crysta
[10:04][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:What type of feeling did you all get from your experiences with this "gift"
[10:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"it made me nervous..
[10:06][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-looks to her crew
[10:08][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:I felt their courage...the heroism ine ach of the sacrifices and braveryof their last moment
[10:09][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I believe the crystal was formed out of feelings of courage. The antithesis of Terror.
[10:09][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:On each of the 'recordings' that had been stored within the crysta
[10:09][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods to Dacia
[10:09][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:-nods to Dacia
[10:12][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:So we have the gift of courage to help manipulate the dark forces out there the
[10:12][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:As Dacia mentioned the anithesis of terro
[10:12][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:or rather additional help.
[10:13][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-nods
[10:13][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:What i meant by tha
[10:13][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"So we put on a brave face and jump into the tar pit?
[10:13][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:I could try to make a bridge interface to connect it to our existing Artemis crysta
[10:14][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smirks- Another of Dacia's suggestion and I concur with you bot
[10:15][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:I canthino fno braver crew to help ehcnace our new gift to assit the artemis crysta
[10:15][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Time and testing may not be on our side..so if ordered I can wokr straight away on tha
[10:15][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Do s
[10:15][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:As i said we are onthe clock X
[10:15][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Ada update the yuki on our intention
[10:15][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Maggie see they get our logs todat
[10:16][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Mr Kodor standby for hte adjustmensts ont he fly for the cano
[10:16][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"aye captain, I will transfer a copy of our updated log to them.
[10:16][DOIC1]Sinez@the5of43:Right.. I'll get ready for this boon.
[10:16][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--gathers up the updated logs getting them ready to transfer.-
[10:17][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Dacia do your best to make the reuired adjustments to ur sensorsonce we corss over...if it all possibl
[10:17][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Aye Captain, I will do what I can.
[10:17][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Allican ask dacia -smiles toher
[10:19][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Maggie
[10:19][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:=^= Captain..a thought as I was makking my way to echo lab..is that the memories and experinces withing the crystal seem
[10:19][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-cants her head and lifts her antenae as she listens toXae comment
[10:20][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:--turns to look at Talia, but waits for the XO to finish-
[10:20][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae =^= The imagery you experienced were in thier generla region of space, yes
[10:21][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:=^= I believe so yes...why
[10:22][DOIC3]Xaelei@Arniman:Xae =^= I rather not speculate more on this at present..just confirming that was your experience
[10:22][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-to maggie- Alert the yuki to stand by on the flare torpedo option to secure us thelocationof the event horizon once we cross ove
[10:23][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:=^= Indeed it was..
[10:23][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Mr Sevuk...order up a ack up security team to the bridg
[10:24][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:Yes captain
[10:24][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:*Sevuk calls up a team of minions to reinforce the bridge.
[10:24][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"The implication is that the Soul Crystal could be used as a reciever, however wouldn't using it as such leave it vulnerable to corruption from the Dark?
[10:25][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:and as a transmitter..would the reverse also not be true Dacia
[10:25][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Would terror not flee from courage
[10:27][DOIC1]Xaelei@Arniman:Ada -> It would see from records being are always vunerable to extremes in emotional reactions
[10:27][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"It would. Which is precisely what I assumed we were attempting by tying it into the Artemis cannon.
[10:27][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"roger roger captain...
[10:28][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-smiles to her and nods- We will be adding to our own courage combined with the courage we have wittnessed to feed back into the crystal..as we have with the artemis crysta
[10:28][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:I truly jus tdo not..nor have i ever sufffered bullies wel
[10:28][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Very good, Captain.
[10:28][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Vwery true Ada...very tru
[10:29][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:-to Dacia - We are goigntofind these people and bring them home -said with resolve
[10:29][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Parker] -dispatched Sevuks ordered team tot he bridge
[10:29][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:"aye captain...
[10:30][DOIC4]Talia@Isis:[Parker] =^= Team 23 baker ison the way sir
[10:30][DOIC1]Sevuk@ClingingMar:=^= Understood
[10:30][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:As theold saying goes...we do not leave our people behin
[10:31][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"I do not doubt it, Captain. It does make me wonder about the motivations of the Dark. If it is truly the embodiment of Terror, would that mean it assaults because it is afraid of us? After all sh
[10:31][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:must act according to her nature.
[10:32][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:I believe you are on to something Dacia...we have for the longest time also suspected..terror inthis partof the LMC is insane...perhaps due to some ancient inury or tragfed
[10:32][DOIC1]Talia@Isis:Whichis why terror is soout of balance here in this galazy whilebackhome..it seems to be balanced by natur
