Ensign Scott Matrix -- 0431) It had been nearly four days in sickbay as far as Scott could recall. He was lonely, but the medics and doctors did their best to keep him entertained between check ups and medications. Overall he felt good, but still extremely sore. His leg was the biggest complaint, the pain was largely gone, but when he moved it a certain way it sent his nervous system into overdrive. He managed to get his hands on a duty roster and engineering PADD. He needed to keep his mind busy and felt out of touch with what was going on both onboard and in engineering. He wanted to get back to work. The doctors told him it would be several more days. He couldn?t bare the thought more time in this bed. ?Excuse me?? he said lightly, trying to get the attention of anyone who might be in the medical office. The call button had fallen off the bed and was out of reach. He didn?t want to wake up the other patient. Frustrated he punched up a message on his PADD and sent it to the medical office. Hopefully someone would see it and come in soon. (Reply anyone in sickbay) (Posted by Steve)) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

J.G. Quinna Solice -- 0805) Quinna sat down in sickbay with her cup of coffee. She was reading up on the reports from the overnight shift. Dr. Edwards was quite through with his reports and Quinna never had to follow up with him. Her only patient was Ensign Matrix. He had his leg bone shattered into many pieces. Quinna took her coffee and walked around sickbay. Quinna stopped and looked at Ensign Matrix. Noting that he was sleeping, she chose not to wake him. She reached down at the foot of the biobed and pulled up the 3-d panel. The bones were looking better than the pictures she saw earlier. Quinna was about to move away when she heard a slight moan. She turned to see Ensign Matrix starting to stir. ?Good Morning, Ensign Matrix.? Quinna said as she leaned in closer to hear him. (Reply Matrix) ?From your point of view, how do you feel?? Quinna asked. She may be able to see what is wrong but she could not feel his pain. (Reply Matrix) (Played by Kris) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ensign Scott Matrix -- 0811) Scott slowly woke from his bad dream or so he thought. The slumbering pain became more real by the moment and he soon realized it wasn?t a dream. He moaned as he tried to move. His arm and leg were immobilized, preventing him from getting comfortable. He heard a voice. ?Good Morning, Ensign Matrix.? Scott looked up realizing he was in sickbay, ?I feel like I?ve been here for a long time.? ?From your point of view, how do you feel?? ?My arm is sore, but my leg is rather painful. How long have I been here?? (Reply Quinna) ?The last thing I remember was an explosion and being hurled into a bulkhead?then I sat up and tried to get my bearings?say my leg twisted then now here.?

Said Matrix. Quinna shook her head. Memory seemed cleared. ?OK? ?How long will I need to remain here?? Scott continued. Quinna bit her lower lip as she was entering more information into his file, ?Well, I am concerned about the pain. We need to manage the pain.? (Matrix Reply) ?You also had recent surgery to repair the bone in your leg. ? Quinna said. (Matrix reply) ?24 hours. I want you to stay for another 24 hours. You need to rest and let yourself heal. Later tonight, we will get you on your feet and see how your leg is doing.? Quinna finally answered.

J.G. Quinna Solice -- 0440) Quinna awoke. She hated when she woke up early. She heard an alarm. ?Computer, time.? Quinna stretched at the time of the request. ?The time is 0442 hours. Incoming Message? Quinna picked up the PADD she kept with her all the time. She opened the message. She had a hard time focusing her sleepy, tired eyes. But she got the idea that someone needed help in sickbay. Quinna slipped on her robe over her shorts and tank top and headed barefoot to sickbay. She had an outrageous case of bedhead hair design. (USS Illuminar -- Sickbay -- Deck 5 -- CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna Solice -- 0455) ?Ok where is everyone?? Quinna said to herself. There was suppose to be an overnight medic/nurse. She moved to the only patient. As she started to talk to Ensign Matrix, she let out a loud yawn. ?What?s wrong?? She asked. (Matrix Reply) As she moved closer to the biobed, she stepped on his call button. She wrapped her toes around the button and lifter her leg the retrieve the button. She did not feel like bending over. ?Here you go.? And handed the button back to Matrix. (Matrix Reply) ?I am sorry you are stuck here. But isn?t it better to stay here than leave and have to have your bones reset again?? Quinna asked.

Temporary Quarters ? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 01:00) Gregory pulled off his boots and collapsed on the bed.It had been a hell of a day.At least the chief let him off the overnight work party.So many different things were happening to him that he needed to think. Mentally, he started making a list of everything off that had happened over the past fortnight. ~One.The anomaly.The tachyon particles coming from the Denorios belt. ~Two.The strange giant Bajoran he kept seeing.And what the heck was happening again.Was it a warning?Some hallucination? Probably should report it to medical, and talk to a counselor, but that isn?t in the cards.? ~Three.The explosion at Quarks and the unknown Bajoran.Quarks information, if it was to be believed, was that this dead man was not in any of the Bajoran records. ~ ~Four. The visit from the two imposters, looking for the key he was given.He was keeping it secret like the dead man asked him to.Good thing too, since it seems these two were not listed in Bajor.Too bad they didn?t get DNA samples to see who they really were.~ ~Five.The break in.Someone had gotten past standard station security to enter his quarters, where they proceeded to tear the place apart.~ Reflecting on the meeting at Security, there wasn?t much information distributed.The working theory was that someone was able to get his prints and a voice recording with sufficient quality to trick the sensors.They were older generation, and jury-rigged with Federation and Cardassian parts so that wasn?t surprising. Security also revealed that the two Bajorans were not who they said they were.They had been efficient at not giving a good clean face shot to the security cameras, so face recognition was out.No one was sure if they were still on the station or not. There were parties searching, but so far nothing. Yawning, ?I should take a shower,? he said out loud.Tonight, he should be safe, he hoped, with the two security guards outside his door. However, his curiosity got the better of him.Moving over to the workstation, Gregory grabbed his tricorder and pulled the key out.What was so important about this key? It didn?t look like much, other than the piece of glass that was secured in the bow of the key. Opening the tricorder, he began scanning the key. Nothing fancy about the metal.It was common material to Bajor.The composition of the glass indicated it was probably made in Lonar Province. Again, nothing to write home about. His tricorder pinned.Looking at the scan, it indicated high levels of residual radiation.Specifically, Tachyons and Verterons. Verteron?s were associated with the wormhole.Did that mean this came from the wormhole?He was living a Dixon Hill novel, and he didn't like mysteries! Yawning again, he opened up his kit, and slide the lid of a small compartment.He closed the kit and locked it with a new code. Finally, he put it in the room safe, along with an alarm in case it was moved. Closing the safe and the cabinet door, he moved to the bed and collapsed again.He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Access Tube behind Quarks Bar ? 13:00) Two days since the explosion behind Quarks Bar.Overloaded power conduit caused by some massive Macgyvering to siphon off power from the grid to feed the increasing demand from Quarks holosuits. He hated to admit it, but the Ferengi was one-part insane and one-part genius engineer, at the same time.Training at the Academy didn?t prepare anyone for this sort of mess. Even the Chief was flummoxed how Igeba had managed to not kill himself while circumventing the safeties that were installed on plasma conduits. The team had stabilized the grid and Quarks was still open.However, the Chief had ordered every centimeter of the conduits around Quarks to be full examined and any of Igeba?s handiwork to be removed, and if necessary, brought up to regulation code. Gregory was reviewing a section of the conduit that had been repaired, making sure the repairs were solid when his communicator chirped. =^= Ensign Gregory.Please come to the Infirmary. =^= He slapped his badge, =^= Medical, can it wait?I?m in the middle of a delicate repair here. =^= =^= You have visitors, sir.Relatives of the Bajoran you saved from the explosion.They wish to thank you.=^= Gregory frowned. ~Saved him?I got him to the infirmary where he died later of internal bleeding and the plasma burns.That wasn?t a save in his book.~ =^= Understood medical.I?ll be there just as soon as I finish up. =^= (Deep Space Nine ? Infirmary ? 13:42) Walking into the Infirmary, Gregory saw two Bajoran?s sitting over in the waiting area.At least he had taken the time to wash up before coming in. A nurse approached him, ?Ensign, these are Simo Aic and Afi Shusa, the brother and sister of Simo Krokolo,? she said pointing out the two Bajorans. As they both stood, ?I am sorry for your loss,? he said. The male spoke holding out his hand, ?Thank you for what you did to help my brother.It was a terrible tragedy.? Gregory grasped the man?s hand and felt a shock.The urge to leave was overwhelming.Quickly releasing the man?s hand, he looked around, but everyone else was busy. The woman moved next to him. ?Yes, thank you Ensign.At least my brother didn?t die alone.? ?We came to the station to ask you a question, as you were the last one to talk to him when he was alive.? Aic said.?You see, when we claimed the body, something was missing, a small trinket.Nothing of value, other than something sentimental to our family.A small key, perhaps on a chain?You didn?t happen to see it when you rescued him?? The hair on the back of Gregory?s neck stood up.Something wasn?t right here.Yes, he had this key, and it was on a chain, but the man?s dying words were ?Keep it secret, keep it safe.?Honor the dying man?s wish or reveal what he had.An ethics dilemma his Andorian ethics instructor would have had a field day with.His mind flashed back to one class in particular. ?Mr. Gregory, why do we have the Prime Directive?? she asked him. ?Uh.To ensure that the Federation doesn?t adversely impact the development of pre-warp cultures.?That was the answer in the book. ?Yes, Mr. Gregory, that is the books answer, but let me repeat.Why do we have the Prime Directive?The Prime Directive states that Federation Ships and crew are expendable to prevent this contamination from happening. Many of our legendary Captain?s and hero?s have violated this Directive instead of sacrificing their ship and their crew.? She paused, ?Are you prepared to sacrifice your life on the altar of the Prime Directive?Think about it Mr. Gregory.You are on an exploration mission, encounter a developing society that Star Fleet didn?t know was on the planet.They are at war with each other and you discover another advanced race is supplying arms to one of the parties.Do you do what Kirk did and arm the other side?Come sir, these are command decisions.? Gregory remembered the example that Professor Sh?ezirherh was referring too.Kirk was exonerated by Star Fleet, which was at war with the Klingons at the time.?As Machiavelli said, ?The ends justify the means?, Professor, In that case we were at war with the Klingon Empire and to not support the other side, meant they would gain a strategic advantage over Star Fleet.? ?Ah, so there are limits on the Prime Directive then?? She was baiting him, and he fell for it, hook line and sinker.It resulted in him having to write an essay about the Prime Directive and why it was central to Star Fleet and Federation policy. ?Excuse me Ensign,? Aic said, ?Did you find a key where my brother was injured.? ?Sorry, sir.I was trying to remember.No I don?t think I recall seeing a key.Most of the damaged material has been brought down to storage for recycling.I?ll check the manifest.? ?Computer display reclaimed material from explosion on Stardate twenty four forty five point zero nine point one zero.Scan and see if a key or key like object was reported.? [Working.The records reveal that there was no such item entered into the record.] Gregory turned back to the two Bajorans,?I can look again to see if I find anything. Do you know any more about what the key was made of, it?s shape?Anything I can use to scan for it?? ?I am sorry Ensign, it is a family heirloom, and very important to us, but we don?t know anything more.We tried to find a picture, but didn?t,? Shusa said. ?Thank you for your time Ensign,? Aic replied, ?And your efforts. Walk with the Prophets.? The two both bowed briefly and walked out of the infirmary. Gregory shook his head, wondering what it all meant. (Reply none) (Posted by Tim B) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Access tube behind Quarks ? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 14:30) After the strange encounter in the infirmary, Gregory went back to work in the access tube.Once there, he checked that the key and chain were in the storage compartment.He didn?t know how to explain it, but those two gave him a bad vibe.Not enough to report to security, heck the security officer on duty probably would laugh him out of the office. Returning to the task at hand, he continued to check the new connections and the repairs.So far, all ship shape and Bristol fashion. (Deep Space Nine ? Replimat? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 16:30) Deter stretched again as he reached the replimat.There was no accounting for proper access design, that or the Cardassians could bend better than he could.He walked over to the replicator, ?Tea, double strength, single sweet.Hot.? When the cup appeared, Gregory walked to an empty table and sat down.He put his kit on the chair next to him.Sipping his tea, he watched as people scurried about their daily lives, wandering the Promenade.The occasional shout of ?Dabo? from Quarks breaking through the noise. Gregory started to look around more closely.That feeling he got in the Infirmary was back.Someone was watching him.Why?Hard to determine with all the people moving about.Not much he could do about it, Security would think him a nutjob and his call to Ops about the giant Bajoran he saw had made the rounds.Pretty soon he?d have to see a counselor.The commander would demand it. With thoughts turning in his head, he missed the first call. =^= Ensign Gregory, report to the Science Station in Ops =^= ~Wonder what this is about?~he thought, tapping his Comm Badge =^= Gregory Acknowledged. On my way. =^= Drinking down as much of his tea as he could, he left the mug in the receptacle and headed towards Operations. He didn?t see the Bajoran grab the mug out of the receptacle and disappear to parts unknown. (Deep Space Nine ? Operations ? Science Station ? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 17:05) Arriving at Ops, the nerve center of the station, he glanced over to see Murdok and Lieutenant Johnson huddled over the Science station screens. ?So, what have we got?? Gregory asked. ?We have been analyzing the probe data and have found some interesting data,? the Lieutenant said.?Murdok take it away.? ?As you know, we?ve been monitoring the telemetry of the Omicron particles coming towards the station from the Dennorios belt.Their field strength had been increasing, with a constant course.Our projections were that the field strength would reach 10 and start interference in the low band sensors on 2445.09.14.In reviewing the records as I try to make more sense out of this phenomenon I noticed a strange reading on 2445.09.10, at 12:30 to be precise.? Murdok tapped the keypad and a map came up on the screen. ?Watch the blue trajectory, please.? As Gregory watched, there was a sudden blip in blue that appeared about 100,000 km off of the Station.The vector moved towards the Station.As it got closer, the station got larger.The vector passed through the station before fading out. ?Where did it pass?? Gregory asked. ?The trajectory took it through the Bajoran temple and through section 5.? Murdok replied. ?Let me guess, it passed through the EPS conduit where Igeba had done his work.?Gregory asked, knowing the answer. ?Yes, it did.And interestingly, it lost 90 percent of its strength right here.? Murdok said, pointing to a position on the map. Gregory did a double take, ?Where I found that Bajoran?? ?Correct.? ?What the heck is going on?? he asked to no one in particular. The Lieutenant spoke, ?That is a very good question Ensign.I think we need to go back there and do some more detailed scans of the area.I would love to study the body as well, to see if there are any residual information we can pick up.? ?That might not be possible,? Gregory replied, ?His family claimed the body earlier today and as far as I know left the station on the 1600 shuttle.? ?That is most unfortunate,? Murdok said.?Perhaps we can ask a Bajoran science team to do the scans for us.? Gregory thought a moment, ?Their names were Simo Aic and Afi Shusa.The deceased man was named Simo Krokolo.? ?OK.I will make the necessary calls to Bajor, and get a team to sweep the area,? the Lieutenant said.?You should get some sleep Gregory.I know the Chief has been running you and the whole team ragged.? ?I heard that,? came the Chief?s voice from the pit.?Go ahead Gregory.Get some rest, I?ll need you back on at 0100 to do some more work when the Promenade is shut down. I think all of Igeba?s work has caused some other issues in section 8 and 12.? ?Yes, Chief, I can?t wait.See you at 0100,? he called out as he headed to towards the turbolift. (Deep Space Nine ? Habitat Ring 3 ? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 18:25) Gregory tapped on the door panel to his quarters.The door slid open to reveal a complete disarray.The room has been torn apart, clothing thrown around, beds on the floor, it was a mess. ?Computer, who last opened the door to my quarters?And when?? [The door was last accessed by Ensign Dieter Gregory at 1730 hours.] ~What the hell!~ He tapped his Comm badge. =^= Gregory to Security.Can you please come to my quarters urgently?There is something amiss. =^= (Reply ? none, unless you want to get into the fun of this backpost) (Posted by Tim B) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 20:00) Gregory took a sip of his Spring Wine, pushing the Ramufta around his plate with a piece of Mapa bread.Things were spiraling out of control, and the young officer had no idea what was going on. The Chief had excused him from the 0100 duty he was originally scheduled for, which allowed him to drink some Spring Wine to calm his nerves. Quark came over to the young officer, ?Rumors have it that someone ransacked your quarters.? ?I?m sure the whole station knows now, Quark.? ?Do you know what they were looking for?? ?Quark, I have no idea.It?s not like I have time to gather wealth or anything valuable.I?m a Ensign, and the Chief keeps me busy.As does your cousin?s handiwork.? Quark chuckled, ?He does have a way with things.He keeps the lights on, and the holosuites working.The Customers are satisfied.I make profit, I am happy.Is your Ramufta not to your liking?? ?No Quark, it is fine.I?m just not so hungry.I could use another Spring Wine though.? Gregory said, pushing his empty glass forward. ?I heard the Chief let you off of duty tonight,? the Ferengi said as he refilled the glass. ?You hear a lot,? Gregory said. ?Rule of Acquisition number 7, Always keep your ears open,? Quark replied.?Also Rule of Acquisition number 23, ?Wise men can hear profit in the wind.?? Gregory nodded, ?And what does the wind blow to your ears?? ?This,? Quark held up a green Isolinear Chip.He placed it on the bar and slid it over to Gregory.?This is payment for the workyou have done to keep the Bar running and profit accumulating.? Gregory paused for a moment, ?No other strings?? ?Rule of Acquisition 127.?Gratitude can bring on generosity.?? Gregory slid the chip over and put it in his kit.He?d look at it later, much as he wanted to do it now.Somewhere private, somewhere safe. ?Thank you, Quark,? he said as he drained his Spring Wine. ?Have a good night Hew-mon,? he replied as he moved to fill another Patron?s glass. (Deep Space Nine - Access Tunnel ? OPS Ensign Dieter Gregory ? 21:15) Finding some private space was difficult.He didn?t trust his new, temporary quarters, even though there was security posted outside.The Chief of Security had promised a swift investigation, but figuring out who ransacked an Ensign?s quarters was not high on the priority list. Gregory sat down in the open space.He took out the isolinear chip that Quark had given him.Popping it into the reader, he started reviewing the information on the chip. As he read, it was hard not to believe this wasn?t a Dixon Hill or Benny Russell novel. Where ever Quark got his information, well, hell this was priceless.He?d have to keep it a secret, that was the least he could do for Quark. So there was no genetic identity to the dead Bajoran.Nor was there a record of an Simo Aic or Afi Shusa on Bajor, even though those IDs were used to board the station.

They both seemed to be well-adjusted to the situation. "After we arrive at Andros I will assess the situation, it may be that Deep Space Nine will be able to provide assistance but Illuminar will be taking the lead on this at the request of the government. If you require particular help from the station in the form of specialists or equipment you may request it directly." "Understood, sir," Jaton said. "You can count on us." Stennin nodded fervently, and thought for a moment about the Trill's apparent enthusiasm. "It would be only logical, commander." Stennin remarked. Sekal continued his orders. Stennin looked at him as their eyes met. "It must be remembered that this assignment may become untenable for you or other members of the crew and while it carries considerable importance for Bajor I will not sacrifice a member of my crew. If in your estimation it becomes too dangerous to continue then anyone involved has the option to recommend the project be ceased and the crew withdrawn. Am I understood?" Jaton seemed adament and nodded in agreement. "Crystal clear, sir. I think I speak for both of us when I say I want to help these people as much as I can, but at the same time I completely understand. I'll make sure at least one member of our team is in constant communication with the ship just in case." Stennin frowned for a moment, but concurred with the Trill's idea. "If any iminent danger rises up, it is only logical that the mission be suspended until we can secure the safety of the crew. Sekal seemed to nod in agreement, or at least acknowledgement. "You have three days to make your preparations, plans for how to attack the situation and any specialized equipment should already be in place and available when we arrive. Due to the severe nature of the emergency I will waste no time in assessing the situation and taking necessary action. Are there any final questions or comments?" Stennin thought for a moment. But Jaton beat him to it. "I don't have any right now. I'll be sure to touch base with the medical and security staff though so we can coordinate. Stennin?" Stennin shook his head. "None. I will do as requested. The preliminary report will be present tomorrow." He said, as he slowly rose up. He nodded at Sekal, and then to Jaton, as he gestured towards the exit. "I will begin our work immediately." (Reply Jaton, Sekal iyw) (Written by Yoerik van Heugten) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sienna Williams-Verin & SPC Luma'lenai - 0215) Sienna walked through the ship, quiet and calm. It was something that she did most nights after her shift on the Bridge ended. It gave her a feel for the ship, allowed the crew to stop and talk with her and helped her get a handle on the repairs and upgrades. She enjoyed the walks, contemplative, and she enjoyed the time she spent talking with Luma and getting her perspective as well. While Sienna missed her brother terribly, the pain around losing Lynn Bracken as her Imzadi was beginning to fade, the bond that hurt so jaggedly dimming with distance mostly and time secondly. Sienna generally picked a time to wander when Vex was either working or asleep. While Luma could easily, and often did talk to both of them Sy did not want her attention to be compromised. ::Is not compromised, Our Sienna, is easy. Luma is spread all over the skin and the new interface of the packs and the crystals make it easy for Luma to do things, like move the ship into and out of the river. Is interesting Our Sienna that the crystals themselves are the key, the properties. Can move easier into the time continuum too.:: Sy grinned, Luma's joy a palatable thing. Sienna was pretty sure that everyone on the ship could feel Luma in some way and although there were a few wary souls aboard, it seemed that most had accepted her. ::Luma do you know much about the bonds that tie a Betazoid to someone of another race, say a bajoran/human hybrid for instance?:: Sy peeked into the quiet arboretum, smiling as she saw the plants that she had picked and help plant aboard the ship beginning to flourish. ::Luma likes the roses.:: Luma volunteered but Sy could tell the entity was considering what Sienna had asked. ::In normal binding between the Illumina, the males were the ones that began the process. The woman had to complete or accept it. There were rarely other races aboard Siev'rae, my ship, but when there were, sometimes the bondings would happen, but it had to be with a male Illuminari, and never a female. Some females were mated with non-Illuminari, but rarely and never did they bond. Women were too precious to our people.:: Luma was not saying something, and Sy was curious, but wasn't sure how to ask it. (Deck 7 - 0230) Sy decided to forego the turbolift and get some exercise, so she walked into a maintenance hallway and opened the hatch, using the ladder to climb down a deck. She was not getting nearly enough exercise. Luma's voice returned. :: The men of the Illumina would sometimes become dark and attack people. It was because of being aboard the ship. There was a plan to breed that trait out, but it was often the case that the women who they bonded with would calm that instinct. The men needed the women, and although there were some that preferred being with ones who were like them, it was also very rare and very much frowned upon. So I'm not sure how to help you. The bond is a legacy of that, and it was designed to protect, not harm. Those who lost their bondmates would often die, perishing from grief and heartache.:: Sy's breath caught in her throat. Luckily that was no longer the case. Her twin Trip had bonded with an Orian and he had lost her during The Incident. Sienna wasn't sure if it was their twin bond that had prevented him from following her into death. He had hurt but he had also healed. ::So Luma is not sure how to assist you. Perhaps you should speak with Our Alaya concerning it? Our Alaya is gifted and she is kind. Or... maybe you could reach out to Betazed and see if someone there can assist you. You do the mental exercises and the meditation daily, Luma can feel it. :: Luma's voice was rich and reassuring to Sienna as she finally stepped onto the turbolift to head to her quarters and get some sleep. (Deck 2, 0300) ::If it would help, would you like Luma to sing to you in the old language? You are very musical, and it might help when you sleep. There are a number of old lullabyes that Luma knows, that you might be interested in?:: Sy smiled, ::That would be lovely Luma, thank you.:: Sienna entered her quarters and prepared for bed. She had another crazy day in the morning and needed her rest. After she washed and changed, braiding her dark hair for the night, Luma began to sing. Sienna slid under the covers and closed her eyes, falling asleep easily for the first time in several nights. Once Luma registered that Sienna's respirations were within the normal parameters for sleeping, Luma quieted, keeping her eye on all of her small ones, protecting them against whatever might harm them.

There were some unpleasant things that she had to do in the checkup.? One was a booster shot of some kind.?

Suddenly, the fighter in the black shorts moved in for a jab.The tattooed man in red shorts jumped to the side, just in time and launched a roundhouse kick at his opponent.His aim was true and he landed the kick in the middle of his opponents left side.Black shorts fell to the map, moaning in pain and grabbing where he had been kicked. The fighter in red called out, ?Computer, end program.? The holodeck room appeared as the man bent down, ?Alex, you ok?? he asked. ?Damned Hercules, you got me good.I didn?t expect that kick.

What had hit Steven as they entered was a musty odor which assailed his nostrils and partially closed his sinuses almost instantly. The walls were rough hewn out of rock some time in the distant past and a trickle of water could be heard somewhere in the distance. The floor was damp and could be slippery if booted feet didn't take precautions. Making sure of ones footing rather that steeping blithely ahead could be a detriment to ones balance. There was din lighting spaced every so often upon the ceiling so that one could see well enough but dark spots could be seen because of the unevenness of the walls. They could easily be simple irregularities causing shadows by a trick of the lighting or perhaps one could walk upon a side passage unaware until the last moment. The air was stale and the noise of many moving through it at once made it impossible to be silent though everyone proceeded cautiously. Steven didn't like this narrow underground warren and was going to be more than happy to leave it.

Deck 1 ? Bridge ? 10:30) Sitting at the Ops station was very different than his time on Deep Space Nine.This was a more focused job at the moment. Working over the controls, Gregory pulled up the flight trajectory, the sensors and overlaid them with the Illumina.Editing some scripts, he started some auto monitoring routines.He wanted to make sure all the ships systems were nominal as the ship was traveling to the destination. Once those tasks were done, Gregory started delving into the system logs to learn how well Illumina did in the Shipmakers trials and on the journey to Bajor.There was a lot for him to learn, from ships stores, to ship operations and more.Of course, there was Luma to figure out as well. After studying the records for an hour, Gregory realized this was a unique vessel.It was going to be a pleasure to learn about it.If this was the prototype for the next generation exploration vessel, Gregory was excited to be part of the initial crew. Diving back into the ships information while checking on his alarms.At 13:00, his replacement came in and relieved Gregory to let him get some lunch. (USS Illumina ? Deck 4 ? O Lounge ? 1315) Walking into the Offices Lounge, it was clear that Starfleet was employing a different decorator.Warm and welcoming, a place to rest.Walking to the replicator, he entered is code and momentarily his lunch materialized. Taking the tray to a private table, he sat down to eat and read more of what the Illuminar class was all about. The cheese seemed fresher than normal, may be that was the difference between the retrofitted replicators on DS9 and the latest starship.Still a beer would not be remiss.Pretty sure the captain would frown on it, even though it was a tradition back home. (Reply ? any, if wanted) Finishing his lunch, Gregory checked the time.~Time to get back to the bridge.~ (USS Illumia ? Deck 1 ? Bridge ? 14:30) Gregory resumed his post at operations.He was pleased to see that his programs were still running and everything was nominal.As he continued to review the procedures, he came across the ?Blue Alert?, which signified that the ship was entering the atmosphere for landing.What a great idea.With a ship this size, you really bring a lot of resources to bear on a situation rather than rely on shuttle craft and transporters.A situation like on Bajor.Gregory thought hard what he had heard on the station.He?d ignored most of the news as he was busy keeping the Chief happy. Gregory began a search to learn what he could about the Bajoran situation. (USS Illumia ? Deck 1 ? Bridge ? 16:00) Lost in reading he turned up to see the Captain talking to someone on the screen.Permission to land!Well it was time to concentrate.Gregory pulled up the ?Blue Alert? checklist and began to run through it.First thing he did was cancel his monitoring programs, they would not be useful now. Next, his fingers running over the console, he started preparing.Checking the energy flow of the ship.Identifying less critical areas that could be shut down in an emergency.Fingers sweating, he heard the command from the Conn. ?Deflector shields up.? ?Shield up, Aye,? he said as he activated the deflector shields.?I report shields are up.Angle of shields adjusted for landing procedures.All systems show green.? Having never been on a ship, other than a shuttle, that landed on planet, this was exciting.Gregory watched the deflectors, monitoring power fluxuations and ensuring they were maintaining the angle need by the helm. Minutes past as the ship entered the atmosphere and started its descent.Risking a look at the screen, he saw Bajor coming up relatively quickly, or so it seemed to him. ?Disengage shields and engage the hull anti-gravity field,? came the call. ?Shields disengaged, Aye,? Gregory called, ?Shields disengaged.Hull anti-gravity field coming online and engaged.All systems green.? The descent slowed more and the officer on the conn started counting out distance.Gregory recognized as more power was applied, and then slowly decreased again. In a breathless moment, the ship landed.His board showed equal pressure on the landing struts. The Captain spoke, ?Well done Lieutenant Grey Wolf.? ?Bloody brilliant.? Gregory chimed in.

Carson Peters - 1330) ?Sir, with your permission?? Tamblyn started before shifting his focus to Ensign Saarsgard and Ensign Williams, ??and if you gentlemen have no objections, I?ll be a scout and guide in the tunnels.? "Excellent." Carson said as he began to stand up from the table. "Obviously we'll have to see what's going on once we get there, but at the very least we have an outline of a plan which should work. Those tunnels will be extremely useful. First base, to be set-up at the Temple Hotel. Second Base outside the Temple itself and then if we can push the Protestors back we can set up a forward base at the intersection Ensign Talence has suggested. Get your teams ready, I expect you all ready on the first landing- that includes yourself Mr Tamblyn. With that, I'll see you all soon." Carson nodded and headed to exit the room.

Quinna Solice -- 1601) Quinna took a deep breath. ?This is it? Quinna said quietly to herself. She had a productive day. There was the fall of Ensign Gregory. She spent most of the day checking the list of materials for the onsite lab again for the fifth time and now she went though her first full ship landing. As landings go, she would give it an 8.5. Afterall she had to catch a few things that were breakable in her office. She turned and looked at the picture of her parents on her desk. ?Hey Mom and Dad. I cannot believe I am back on Bajor. I was not sure if I wanted to be here or not, but I am happy I am. Just wish you were here as well. Love you both.? And with that Quinna grabbed her go bag with things she may need on her stay. Just before she excited her office, she ran back to the desk and picked up her picture of her parents. Quinna punched her Comm badge and called out to Ensign Dalton. ?Lt. Solice to Ensign Dalton. Meet me with the med supplies. Be ready to disembark the ship soon.? (Reply Dalton) (played by Kris) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The preparations of all the science labs were ready, but he made sure they all checked in. He nodded, and walked to one of his wall cabinets. He took out a PADD. His musings were interrupted by the sound of his commbadge. =/\= Alyl to Stennin, come in.=/\= Stennin rose a brow at the sound of Jaton, but nodded. "Stennin reporting. Go ahead, lieutenant." =/\= Are all systems and experiments secure? We may need to transfer some of our power to the shields as we pass through the atmosphere and I don't want to take any risks with some of our more sensitive equipment. =/\= Stennin rose his brows. He returned to his desk, and tapped some commands. "That is affirmative, lieutenant. I can assure you that any energy demands can be safely dealt with." (Reply Jaton) Stennin closed the commlink as he walked to the corridor. He quickly made his way to the atmospherics lab. (USS Illuminar - Deck 7 - Atmospherics Physics Lab - ASCRD Ensign Stennin - 1605) Stennin walked over to the large panel where two scientists were standing around. One of them, a small female human, nodded. "We've got all the sensors lined up. We'll be checking in the atmospherical changes as we descend." She now said. Stennin nodded fervently, and watched as the other scientist, a Bajoran male, tapped some commands. "Our scanners picked up some heightened ammonia levels when we first arrived." He commented. Stennin nodded and murmured. "It would be logical to assume that these come from the geothermal activity?" He mused. The Bajoran man nodded. "That is most likely it. We also found some sulphur and CO2 emissions." Stennin nodded again and tapped some commands to zoom in to the landing zone. "Any dangers in our area?" He inquired. The woman shook her head. "All nominal. The air should be relatively clean." She answered. Stennin nodded.

Sienna Williams-Verin From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling) Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2020 19:32:09 -0500 Mission: The Root of Decay Day: 18 Stardate: 2445.09.18 (USS Illuminar, Deck 1, Observation Lounge ? FO Lt. Sienna Williams-Verin 1602) Sienna had not been needed on the bridge for the landing of the Illuminar on Bajor. She knew that Sekal would want to be there, simply because it was an unusual procedure and this would be the first time that the starship would ever land. They had not done that particular function during the space trials. They should have, but it was not in the standard protocols. ::Luma does not like this landing on the planet business. The skin belongs in space. What if it doesn't get off the planet again?:: Sienna tried very hard not to laugh at Luma's grumpiness at the landing. Sy kept her hand on the observation window as they flared through the atmosphere. It was thrilling, to say the least. ::We will be able to get the Illuminar off the ground again, I promise, Luma.:: Sy reassured the alien that lived in the ship. ::Has Vex explained it to you?:: Luma was quiet as she monitored the flight that Lt. GreyWolf was exacting from space to the ground. Luma was taking no chances. The ship did not even shudder as she sat perfectly down on the earth. Sienna took that moment to head back out onto the Bridge. She had the Ship while Sekal was going to be playing the diplomat. Better than her that was true. Sy took a moment to say a prayer to the Betazoid Goddess that Trip, Rissa and Ash would be well. And Lynn. Opening her eyes she exited onto the Bridge to smile as Sekal headed out. Sy took the command seat and took a deep breath. This was the first real attempt on her abilities. (USS Illuminar - Deck 1, Bridge - FO Lt. Sienna Williams-Verin - 16:54) Alyl, Stennin and Gregory were getting the same feeling that Sy was getting, that they needed to keep all their people under constant surveillance in order to pull them out of danger quickly. Sy nodded as the guys talked and she approved it. "If I remember correctly, the comm badges can transmit a limited amount of bio data as well - I want that tied into the sensor map so that if anything happens, Luma can quickly beam our people out. I don't get the impression that Bajor is telling us all of the truth." ::Luma, you will keep a weathered eye on our people for me, please. So no one harms your small ones.:: Sy persuaded, trying to jolly Luma out of her funk at being stuck on the planet where she didn't believe her starship should be. ?Ma?am, I?d suggest we alert the Bajorans that we?re going to be launching two probes into orbit. They may not take kindly to an unannounced and unauthorised launch into their space.? Sienna nodded, putting her best Starfleet demeanor on, "Indeed Mr. Alyl. Open a channel to Bajoran Space Control." =^= Bajoran Control. =^= "This is First Officer Verin of the Illuminar. My scientists wish to launch two geosynchronous probes into orbit. May we have permission?" She kept it simple. There was silence for about a minute, then the circuit reopened, =^= Feel free, Illuminar. Have your Navigator interface with us at launch. Bajoran Control out.=^= Sy blinked at the terse reply, as the viewscreen changed back to the previous view. "Once we have that going accurately, put it on the main viewscreen, please. Feel free to launch the probes at your leisure Mr. Gregory." (Reply Gregory, any on the Bridge) (posted by Mel) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ensign Dieter Gregory - 16:30) With the ship on the ground, Gregory begin the post landing checks as specified in the Blue Alert checklist. He first began rerouting power and increased monitoring of the landing struts.It would be a bad thing for those to fail.Next, he increased the computer bandwidth to the sensors so that they could deal with the extra noise that would be coming in from being on Terra Firma, as it were. He also increased power to the deflector banks.Not that they were on at the moment, but who knew what hostiles might decide a landed starship would be a good target.It was hard for him to think of Bajoran?s as hostiles, based on the people he worked with on the station, and those he met at the inn almost two weeks ago.~I still have to make that climb~ he thought to himself as fingers Finishing his required checks, he turned his chair around, ?Commander, Operations station shows green.All checks completed and systems are operating within normal parameters.? (Reply Sekal, if needed) (USS Illuminar - Deck 1 - Operations ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 16:50) Gregory watched as the Commander left the bridge. Turning back to his panel, he had an idea.?Lieutenant Verin.Since we are on the planet, and there may be trouble, I am thinking we could establish a constant monitoring of our teams.We could overlay a map of the area on the main viewer and use our sensors to monitor the crew?s location.This would give us a better understanding of the situation, and probably will take no more than 5% of the sensor bandwidth.If we launched a class V probe, I think we could reprogram the navigation system to establish a geostationary orbit that would give us backup sensor data and allow us to better establish crew locations.Ideally, we?d launch two probes with different orbits to allow better triangulation with the ship?s sensor. ?

URL: ============================================================================== ILLUMINARRPG: (18, 1640, 1657) SPC COUNS Alaya Ravenstone & SPC Kzan Dirnay From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling) Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2020 17:23:12 -0500 Mission: The Root of Decay Day: 18 Stardate: 2445.09.18 (USS Illuminar- Deck 4, Transporter Room 1- COUNSAlaya Ravenstone - 1640) Alaya had gone by her shared quarters to take the time to change. Dressing in her more normal, formal and fancy uniform (rather than the normal informal counselor uniform she wore on ship) she took a moment to braid her beautiful blue hair and tied it off, finishing with combat boots that were designed for the ground. She carefully inserted knives into her boots, making sure that her pants covered the tops of the boots. No one expected the Counselor to be able to either defend herself, or to take down a threat. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long moment before heading to the transporter room and meeting up with her party. She smiled towards Sekal as she watched him dealing with the security detail. She knew that the female was the guard that Hammons had chosen for her. Alaya moved to stand next to Sekal on the transporter as he took command of the situation. Alaya's talents and skills as well as training leaned heavily in the direction of diplomacy rather than the more normal shipboard space psychology. She did have skill in that, but Alaya did not enjoy it as she did diplomatic encounters. Diplomacy it could be said was a dance. Hammons took that moment to enter the transporter room, and Alaya's smile brightened the room. She saw the knife that she had gifted her chosen mate with and was pleased that he would be using the long blade. She caught Sekal's expression and shrugged lightly, explaining, "It was a gift upon our engagement. It's a ceremonial piece." That could kill. (Bajor- Ashalla, Government offices portico - COUNS Alaya Ravenstone & SPC Bajoran Minister of Security Kzan Dirnay - 1657) Alaya shivered when the transport was complete. For some reason, the transporter always left her with the feeling that someone was running a cold finger down her spine. Alaya turned towards the approaching Minister who was meeting them. What she sensed was complex. There was duplicity. There was frustration. There was concern. And underneath it all, a sense of a martial feeling, that he knew what the solution to something was and he felt hamstringed. She wanted to probe further, but knew that the ethics of Starfleet prohibited that except in certain situations. She kept her mouth shut as Sekal introduced her. Alaya knew that her eyes gave her away as a full blooded Betazoid. They were led inside a rather lovely governmental building that had a sense of age to it. The minister sighed. "The council of Vedeks is being... difficult. I can only guess at their political motives though they would seem apparent. Politically we have to keep the quarantine in place over the temple but attempts to move select members from there into isolation has been resisted by them. It's a sticky situation for the civilian government but as representatives of the Federation and StarFleet you have greater latitude as well as our support to do what needs to be done." He leaned back and looked away before returning his attention to them. "And if that offends the Vedeks then so be it. I'd rather them be offended than have a full scale war break out here on Bajor between civilian and government forces. To be quite honest I can't even count on the majority of government forces either." Alaya frowned as his underlying emotions seemed to focus on that martial feeling for a moment. She wanted to ask about it. "I am sure that you know that I am a Betazoid, Minister. I feel something martial? when you were speaking, as if you have a way to solve all of this. Would you feel inclined to share your opinion?" The half cardassian stared at Alaya for a long moment, "Between us, I believe that a strategic assassination of that rabble rouser Pryler Tekan would solve everything. He's one of the most charismatic speakers, and he is the reason that we have so many civilians agitating to get into the Temple. He is 'preaching' that this is the Prophets who are calling the Bajoran people home through death. It's ridiculous, but with the Vedek Council basically opposing itself and not speaking as one unified voice against the Pryler, well. I fear the death that will happen, and I am terrified that if the Kai passes from whatever this is, that Bajor will have the inevitable civil war, which we, the High Council, know will change our status in the Federation. " He sighed, passing a hand over his eyes as if he had a headache. "So tell me, Commander, Counselor, what are your plans and what can we do to help you? I should warn you that even in the High Council that there are factions that are opposed to you being here. Our Health Minister, Njar Lyian is a devoutly religious political figure who puts politics first and public health a far second." Alaya frowned at all of this and looked up at Sekal, worried.

They were to beam to the hotel by twos accompanied by four lower ranking crewmen. So Hammons was waiting his turn and to see which group he fell into when Alaya and the CO squeezed past on their way to meet with the government. Hammons caught her eye and patted the ornately hilted Bowie knife she had presented to him and he smiled at her. He was taking CPO Tamblyn's warning seriously and was packing it along with his sidearm and a stun baton which would come in handy at the temple itself. Bladed weapons weren't exactly a StarFleet staple and absolutely frowned on in most situations. If a CO caught you carrying one around on the ship and especially the bridge it could elicit a stern talking to about the use of one on the ship according to his understanding. But if it saved his life on Bajor they could talk all they wanted. Sekal had caught sight of it and quirked an eyebrow of course but said nothing and Steven planned on giving him no reason in the future to complain about it. It's not like he ever got called to the bridge anyway and the blade normally wouldn't be seen outside of his quarters. He nodded as Chief Tamblyn walked up. "Afternoon sir. Captain has already left and Lieutenant Peters should be along any moment. Talence and I will be accompanying you and Hammerfield through the tunnels with the rest of the force." (Reply: Tamblyn) Hammons nodded. "They will be showing up at any time. The sooner we get this over and done with the better." It was good to have someone along who knew the lay of the land so to speak. He looked away as more started arriving.

The ship had come through with little difficulty as expected between a solid design taken from the earlier Bellerophon Class after extensive breaking in of the system and tweaking the procedures. The pilot had gone through the required simulations and performed the maneuver with precision but no simulation can capture every permutation and she had adapted well. After this he knew that he could count on her in the future to perform her duties at an exceptional level. The security teams headed for the temple along with CPO Raschen were gathering outside the transporter rooms in preparation for insertion into the hotel as Sekal and Counselor Ravenstone entered. He was met by two security officers armed with phaser pistols who came to attention. He cocked his head as he addressed them. "You appear to be early crewmen." "No sir." The woman replied. "We will be accompanying your party as ordered." Sekal quirked an eyebrow as he held her gaze, he had given no such order. "You are mistaken." "No sir I'm not." She didn't flinch away from eye contact. "Our orders are that no one including you leaves the ship unattended sir." It was a logical extrapolation who had given such an order. This had Lieutenant Peters' fingerprints all over it. Sekal could well remember Admiral Remae at the time having a security detail forced upon him despite his protests. "Very well." He could countermand that order as the forces were needed elsewhere but had no other logical foundation upon which to do so and Bajor could now be classified as hazardous territory. Sekal walked to the transporter console and tapped a button. "Notify Minister Kzan we will be arriving shortly." =^=Yes sir.=^= He nodded to Alaya as the four took their place on the transport pads. "Energize." (Bajor- Ashalla, Government offices portico-CO, Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 1655) As they materialized on the paved area encircled by the office buildings of the government complex Sekal began looking about. The sun was behind the westernmost of the buildings so that they were well shaded. There were a number of small trees planted in a ring at the center encircled by park benches where people at lunch could have a drink or eat and take their ease. The minister had just left one of the buildings and was walking toward them with a small retinue. As he approached his hybrid nature became readily apparent. Were this directly after the occupation one would have expected his parentage to have been somewhat of a forcible nature but in the interim there had been some measure of closure and cooperation between Cardassia and Bajor spearheaded by the Oralian Way which had gained a lot of traction after Cardassia had been decimated by the Dominion. The Oralian Way had embraced the worship of the Prophets and Vedek Yevir instrumental in forging them into The Way on Bajor. Religion it appeared despite its rebuttal by most of the Federation could be used to bring people together rather than separating them as was most often the case. It had not been easily done but it was cemented now. "Captain Sekal welcome." The minister came to a stop before them. "Commander Sekal." He corrected. "And Counselor Ravenstone." (Reply: Alaya) The minister shrugged. "Welcome all the same to both of you. We are happy to have Federation assistance. Please follow me." The clothing he wore was loose fitting though tasteful and in the color of earth tones highlighted by green. Similar to the uniforms worn by Bajoran security but more comfortable. Sekal fell into step with the shorter man as they walked back toward the building. "I apologize for the tense situation you are coming into Commander, the situation sprang up without warning and boiled over quickly." "What steps are you taking?" (Bajor- Ashalla, Government office- Lieutenant Commander Sekal- 1658) The Minister growled as they entered the building. "The High Minister doesn't want this to look like a military confrontation so I'm having to make do with the people I have available but I've made preparations." He gestured toward a nearby office he had commandeered for the occasion. "I have five hundred available to beam into place not if but when this spirals out of control with that many more being available within hours. We don't want it to come to that obviously but if you aren't able to take control of the situation we will be left with no choice." He sat down behind the desk as Sekal and Alya took seats, the security detail had remained outside the door. "Which brings to mind the question Minister of just what exactly we are being called upon to do." The Vulcan crossed his arms as he waited for the reply.

If we launched a class V probe, I think we could reprogram the navigation system to establish a geostationary orbit that would give us backup sensor data and allow us to better establish crew locations. Ideally, we?d launch two probes with different orbits to allow better triangulation with the ship?s sensor. ? (Reply Sienna) Jaton nodded. ?That shouldn?t be too hard.? He then turned back to his station and began tapping away on his panel. He looked over at the viewscreen as he did and it changed to an overhead view of the city. He then tapped a couple more buttons, and labels appeared on the map. ?The satellite view we?ve got isn?t currently live, since that will have to wait until the probes are in orbit. However what we?ve got is the most recent satellite view of the temple and surrounding district, with labels pulled from our map archive. Working on cross-referencing with the Bajoran Central Archives now.? Jaton then tapped his commbadge. ?Alyl to Stennin.? (Reply Stennin) ?Can you please prepare two probes for launch and ping me back when they?re ready?? (Reply Stennin) Jaton then turned back to Verin. ?Ma?am, I?d suggest we alert the Bajorans that we?re going to be launching two probes into orbit.

The descent had been difficult, but the atmospheric readings had not caused much trouble. In fact, the science team would have important data on the procedures of planetfall, which was last done some time ago. As he noted some of the data in his PADD, he walked over to another console, where a Denobulan female stood behind. "Could you investigate if the CO2 emissions did anything to our life support?" Stennin asked. The Denobulan nodded. With that, he returned to the large table where he had been standing for some time. The Bajoran man tapped some commands, and a few details came up. The local air was breathable. However, it was a rather hot day out there. According to his findings, about 32 degrees. Stennin looked up when his combadge pinged. He quickly tapped it. =/\= Alyl to Stennin.=/\= Stennin rose his brows, but then answered. "Stennin standing by, lieutenant. The landing proceeded as planned. The atmospherics lab reports no damage to the ship. Is there anything you need?" =/\= Can you please prepare two probes for launch and ping me back when they?re ready? =/\= Stennin frowned for a moment. He had to check in, but he was certain there were several probes available. He turned to one of the wall panels and tapped some commands. "Affirmative, lieutenant. I will prepare two Class V probes for immediate take-off and report it to the bridge." Stennin then closed the commlink. He nodded at the scientists in the atmospherics labs. He quickly made for the corridor and the turbolift. (USS Illuminar - Deck 10 - FLight Control Center - ASCRD Ensign Stennin - 1705) Stennin looked one final time at the flight plan and then nodded to the attending officer, a Vulcan female. They had planned the specific orbit of the two probes for a few minutes. Jaton's requirements were specific. Once he was satisfied with the results, as far as a Vulcan would, he tapped his commbadge. "Stennin to Lieutenant Alyl." (Reply Jaton) "The probes are ready and we have verified your flight schedule. The navigational computers should have no problem establishing a geostationary orbit over our position." (Reply Jaton) Stennin nodded and awaited as the probes were loaded into the torpedo tubes.

That done, he turned to the spare screen on the console.With a few strokes, he opened a design program and entitled the file ?SPOTS prototype 1?. This was an idea he?d been thinking about for a while.The idea came to him about 3 months into his tour of Deep Space 9, but the Chief kept him busy so he didn?t have any time to work on the idea.Hopefully the commander wouldn?t mind is prototyping work, especially since SPOTS should help improve operational efficiency on the ship. If this worked, there could be a whole host of special applications that a SPOTS system would help with. As he entered the various parameters he had in mind for the prototype, he hoped that the shell would be able to hold all of the equipment and scanners he was proposing. He looked at the shell again with an eye for functionality, yes, it would do quite nicely. He hit enter to allow to program to determine the optimal configuration. Now it was time to wait. Returning to the Ops main screen, he started reviewing the various issues that happened on the Ship makers trials.Good to know what they thought of the ship.

As he got closer to the room, he slowed from a job into a brisk walk. He turned the corner and saw a grouping of Security Officers and slowed down further. "Evening folks.

We're here to assist with the protection of the Temple and this Hotel here." (Reply Hotel Manager - if anyone wants to play) "How many of the Vedeks do you have here in the Hotel?"

Janice looked on as the man led them down a set of stairs into a basement used to house supplies for the building. It looked like a small bunker ? maybe it was at some point. He raised the keys up to the north facing wall where a small light shot out of it scanning the keys. A sharp hiss followed as the wall beside parted and led into the tunnels towards the temple. ?The sub-basement,? he gestured then removed a key from the ring attaching them together.

He's one of the most charismatic speakers, and he is the reason that we have so many civilians agitating to get into the Temple. He is 'preaching' that this is the Prophets who are calling the Bajoran people home through death. It's ridiculous, but with the Vedek Council basically opposing itself and not speaking as one unified voice against the Pryler, well. I fear the death that will happen, and I am terrified that if the Kai passes from whatever this is, that Bajor will have the inevitable civil war, which we, the High Council, know will change our status in the Federation. " He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "So tell me, Commander, Counselor, what are your plans and what can we do to help you? I should warn you that even in the High Council that there are factions that are opposed to you being here. Our Health Minister, Njar Lyian is a devoutly religious political figure who puts politics first and public health a far second." Sekal noted the frown Alaya turned in his direction from the corner of his eye but his gaze remained firmly fixed on the Minister of Security. "Our plans are simple Minister. Security from the ship will reinforce your forces stationed outside the temple and relieve the pressure there by clearing the plaza after which my science and medical teams will enter and find answers while stabilizing those inside by any means necessary. I have given the chief medical officer my complete support and if she feels evacuation of those inside are the only way to do so then Illuminar will take them aboard." He leaned forward to emphasize his next point. "As for what you can do to help." His eyes narrowed. "Restraining your impulse to kill the Prylar would be most helpful. Arrest him for inciting a public disturbance if you wish but his death would only exacerbate the situation." (Reply: Kzan iyw) "I am a student of history as well as the scientific disciplines minister and religious figures who are killed for their teachings become martyrs. His followers may initially disperse at his death but the ideal will have taken root and he will become more dangerous in death than in life. Bajor's course to a civil war at that point would be solidified. The only way to combat extremist religious teachings is through facts and logic and that is the reason we are here." (Reply: Kzan iyw) "Keeping the public health minister out of our way should be your other priority. My people will work better without her interference and while support from that department would be beneficial I will not allow her or those under her authority to sabotage our efforts and will bar them from the temple area if necessary. My teams have enough pressure from time constraints and concern for their own safety without adding outside pressure and if their tasks become untenable I will pull them back. Have I made myself clear?" (Reply: Kzan iyw) Sekal stood to his feet. "And lastly a meeting with the Vedeks would seem to be in order. Your full support is appreciated.

Stennin looked closely and saw the telemetry coming into view. ?Science, telemetry on probe two is transferred to your station, now.? Gregory concluded. Stennin watched again as the number came unto the screen. He quickly scanned the telemetry, and with a few buttons, opened a few algorithms that overlaid the telemetry on the planetary view. Stennin frowned as he watched the variables taking shapes. "Ensign, are the probes working correctly?" (Reply Gregory) "Affirmative. There appears to be a discrepancy in the magnetic readings." (Reply Gregory) Stennin watched some time, and then tapped some commands to zoom in on the map. He frowned again, but nodded slowly. "The magnetometer on the probes registered a decrease of almost 5 percent in the geomagnetic field near sector 12. The very region where the first victims of the sickness were sighted." (Reply Gregory) Stennin rose a brow, before he tapped some more commands. "It does indeed look illogical. Judging from orbital sensors, the magnetic strength has decreased .74 percent each day for the last three weeks. It seems to be focused on this Bajoran Temple." He pointed towards a large structure that stood at the heart of the affected temple. (Reply Gregory) "It would be logical to begin our investigation in this very region.

What had hit Steven as they entered was a musty odor which assailed his nostrils and partially closed his sinuses almost instantly. The walls were rough hewn out of rock some time in the distant past and a trickle of water could be heard somewhere in the distance. The floor was damp and could be slippery if booted feet didn't take precautions. Making sure of ones footing rather that steeping blithely ahead could be a detriment to ones balance. There was din lighting spaced every so often upon the ceiling so that one could see well enough but dark spots could be seen because of the unevenness of the walls. They could easily be simple irregularities causing shadows by a trick of the lighting or perhaps one could walk upon a side passage unaware until the last moment. The air was stale and the noise of many moving through it at once made it impossible to be silent though everyone proceeded cautiously. Steven didn't like this narrow underground warren and was going to be more than happy to leave it.

She couldn?t decide what was worse. The darkness, wetness, or the smell. Every so often the sound of a footstep would echo unnervingly in the distance. She could only presume that this was intentional to make it harder for people to be followed just by sound alone and the narrow rock faces to block light sources.

Pushing her hands out she held it firmly as her back pressed against the adjacent wall as her breathing raised sharply and she let out a small gasp. (Reply: Talence, Hammnos or Tamblyn) The wall of course was not moving towards her and she cautiously pulled her hands off the wall and stood up slowly fixing her uniform and taking a deep breath, ?I suppose now is a bad time to mention I was treated for some claustrophobia a while back.?

Bridge- Ops ? Ensign Dieter Gregory - 1713) Gregory finished transferring the telemetry of the probes to Science to monitor. "Ensign, are the probes working correctly?" the science officer asked. ?Running diagnostic check now,? Gregory replied as he typed in the commands.?I show both probes are running nominally.They have passed standard diagnostic check.? "Affirmative. There appears to be a discrepancy in the magnetic readings." Gregory furrowed his brow.He looked into the telemetry data, as well as the ships sensor data.?I confirm your findings Science.There appears to be magnetic anomalies.Trying to isolate now.? "The magnetometer on the probes registered a decrease of almost 5 percent in the geomagnetic field near sector 12. The very region where the first victims of the sickness were sighted." Science reported. ?Isolating now,? Gregory replied.?I am boosting ship sensors to increase magnetic field sensitivity.Probes are now at maximum.? ?Confirming the decrease in sector 12.Magnetic fields are not my specialty Science, but I?d say that is pretty odd.I don?t remember hearing anything on Deep Space Nine about magnetic anomalies, but I was usually busy fixing things and cleaning waste reclamation systems. ? "It does indeed look illogical. Judging from orbital sensors, the magnetic strength has decreased .74 percent each day for the last three weeks. It seems to be focused on this Bajoran Temple.? Gregory looked with the science officer pointed. ?Let me see what I can do,? Gregory replied.?Names Gregory by the way.Dieter Gregory.?Gregory worked over his console.?I?ve tapped into the Bajoran weather feed and satellites.Downloading data now.?

I will assemble the necessary medical and science teams, provided with an agreeable security detachment." ?Makes sense Mr Stennin.Do you have someone in Science I can work with to run some models on this?If not I have a friend on the Station.It might be a bit slow with the distance, but he?s very good at this type of thing.?

The walls were stuccoed and cream in color. Tall plants in terracotta pots adorned the corners and a small fountain backlit by a cobalt blue light sat in the center of the righthand wall while a bank of lifts were beyond the front desk and to the left. The front desk itself was expansive though there was only one Bajoran standing behind it who wore a welcoming smile as if guests beaming into his hotel was an every day occurrence and perhaps it was. Sekal's eyes flitted back over one of the plants who's pot was too small to contain much soil and marked it as a synthetic, dead material formed in the semblance of living vegetation to give the illusion of life. The booted steps of he and his party clicked upon the tiles as he moved to stand before the man. (Reply: Alaya, Hotel Manager) "The Dean of Vedeks is expecting us. What room please?""

As he stepped back into the Foyer he immediately noticed that Sekal had arrived with the Counsellor. He headed towards the Commander, a small smile attached to his face as he saw the Security attachment sticking to the Vulcan. As the group came together Sekal spoke with a nod. "Lieutenant." "Sir." Carson said, "The Security team are now on their way to secure the Temple. We should have it under control within the next 60 minutes." Sekal's gaze moved from his 2/0 to the stairwell then back.

She caught Carson's grin and knew that he had been in on it with her Hammons. She was going to have a word with him, one that would likely end with him kissing her into hushing. She wasn't truly upset with him, but it was expected for her to put up a token protest. Sekal spoke to Carson about what they had heard in the office concerning the Prylar. "Understood. I'll have them locate and monitor the Prylar as soon as we can. The Hotel can continue to be used as base for now, several teams are setting up in various locations. I was about to locate the Dean Vedek, though I'll happily defer that conversation to you two if that's what you're here for." Carson replied to that particular conversation. Alaya looked towards Sekal. She was almost looking forward to that conversation. She was trained in diplomacy specifically, but Sekal was gifted at it. It was said that diplomats were not made, they were born. That was true to some extent. "Sir?" She asked softly, "Why can't we beam the Kai out to an isolation room on the Illuminar?

"You may accompany us if you wish and as for where the threat to Prylay Tekan's life originated from," he quirked an eyebrow at the Lieutenant, "that threat came from the minister of security." "Sir?" Sekal turned his head to Counselor Ravenstone. "Why can't we beam the Kai out to an isolation room on the Illuminar?

At the far end of the hallway was their destination and two Bajoran temple guards were on watch outside the doors. Sekal nodded as he took note of them then he motioned Devers and Lanis close and spoke in a low voice to them. "No one is to enter or leave the Dean's quarters without my orders. You are to wait outside, watch everyone closely and follow that order. You will not allow yourself to be disarmed. Am I clear?" (Reply: Devers, Lanis, Alaya, Carson) He strode down the hallway until he stood before the two men who were watching their approach with narrowed eyes and suspicious looks and stopped before them.

Not really paying attention to the conversation the Commander was having, he kept looking around, trying to anticipate danger.Maybe he was being too high strung, but one cannot be too careful. The conversations wound down, and the Commander and party headed towards a bank of lifts.Devers fell in on the left while Landis took the right. The commander and party entered the lift.He let Landis in first before finally backing in.So far, nothing jumped out at him. (Bajor- ?Ashalla, Hotel High Hallack (Temple Hotel), 2nd floor- Security PO3 Hercules Devers - 1730) As the lift came to a stop, Devers and Landis exited, securing either side of the corridor.At the far end of the corridor was a door guarded by Bajoran temple guards. The Commander paused and motioned the security team close. "No one is to enter or leave the Dean's quarters without my orders. You are to wait outside, watch everyone closely and follow that order. You will not allow yourself to be disarmed. Am I clear?" the Commander said. ?Aye, aye, Sir.? Devers said quietly. He did a quick check to ensure his Type 2 Phaser was holstered, but ready.A more discrete check confirmed his Type 1 phaser was right next to his telescoping baton.It would take an effort to disarm the man.Many people had underestimated Hercule?s agility, focusing instead on his bulk, earned through years of weightlifting.

"Vedek Horavei you have my gratitude for seeing us." With his hand he indicated his companions. "Counselor Alaya Ravenstone and Lieutenant Peters my second officer." Without standing up he nodded to each of the Vulcans companions, he noted that the man had chosen not to introduce himself. ~Clearly assumes his reputation precedes him~ "Please, take a seat. Don't stand on ceremony in such dire times." he waved his hand over several of the empty chairs. "It is not my intention to take up a lot of your time however I have some questions if you would indulge me." The Vulcan continued as he pulled a chair closer to him. Horavei noticed that Second Officer continued to stand, clearly Security trained and was looking for threats and wanted to be able to move if needed. "I appreciate that. There is still so much to do. We are hopeful you will be able to contain the threat of this outbreak so it doesn't affect the wider population. Guided by the Prophets of course." "Since Bajor became a Federation member world it appears to have prospered quite well. What is your stance on Bajor as a member of the Federation and subject to its laws?" The Vulcan asked. Horavei thought about the question for a moment. It seemed like the man was trying to bait him into a trap. "I have no personal views on the matter Lieutenant Commander. I am not a politician but a holy man. If the Prophets want Bajor to be a part of the Federation, then a part of the Federation we are." He nodded. "It is my understanding that under Bajoran law an individual may decide to end their life in whatever manner they find fitting. This is a fascinating concept. Did Kai Hetel leave such orders concerning her own demise? Or to be more precise was it her order that she be allowed to expire within the temple and was not to be removed?" Horavei smiled slightly as he leaned forward on the desk, "I understand what you're asking, however it is not something I can give. The council has already voted on this motion within the last week. It is clearly written within the scriptures, that unless a clear sign is given to the council by the Prophets themselves the same motion can not be voted upon for another fortnight. The Kai's body stays within the Temple, near the Orbs so that if she were to pass on, she can be taken straight into the arms of our saviours." And what of the others that are confined within? I find the edict against their removal to be of interest." "I'm not a man of logic like yourself Lieutenant Commander, but it would seem unwise to remove any man or woman from the Temple itself.

He kept his eyes moving, especially on the two Bajoran Temple Guards.He didn?t trust anyone but his shipmate Lanis, not with the senior staff in a room he could not see into. Devers tried to listen in, but could only hear muffled voices.The discussion was clearly heated.That was why he never tried to go to Officers Candidate School.That and he didn?t want to do the work.Fighting and trouble were his middle names. The wait continued. (Bajor -? Ashalla, Hotel High Hallack (Temple Hotel), 2nd floor, Outside Room B ? Security ? PO3 Hercules Devers - 1750) The guard next to Hercules suddenly tensed up.Something was amiss. The two guards turned and pulled out their Bajoran phasers, firing where Devers and Lanis had just been.The Starfleet security team moving out of the way when the guards started moving. Lanis got into a fighting stance, while Hercules grabbed his ASP. With a flick of his wrist, he extended the baton to full length. The guard on Devers turned to face the man, phaser leveled at his chest.Before he could get off a shot, the ASP was moving.There was the sound of bones breaking as Devers aim was true, hitting the guard?s wrist.The man dropped his phaser to the ground.? He reached to his belt and pulled out a knife in his off hand. Lanis, meanwhile had landed a few blows and disarmed the second guard.He too had pulled a knife. Devers grinned at the man in front of him.Putting his off hand out, he motioned for the man to come at him. The guard dived low, blade extended.The cling of metal on metal filled the hallway as the blade was deflected.The guard pulled back to reset his attack.Devers pressed his, swinging his ASP low, towards the back of the man?s knee. Lanis let out a grunt as she landed an axekick, breaking her opponents? nose.Blood flew everywhere as he crumbled, dropping the blade as he hit the ground.The security officer kicked the knife away before rolling him over and secured the man?s wrists. The man moaned as blood continued to pour out his nose. Devers connected with his opponents? knees, and he watched the guard fall to the ground.?Stay down,? he growled as he stood next to the man, his foot on the man?s hand with the knife. The man let the blade good.?Good lad.Now roll over slowly, and cross your wrists behind your back. The man complied, moaning, ?You broke my wrist,? he called out in pain as Devers secured the man?s wrists as well. The guards secured, the security team rolled them over and pushed them to sit against the wall.Lanis pulled out her phaser to cover them.

When the guards outside had checked out Peters and Sekal, they had not bothered to run scanners over the harmless looking Alaya who wore both glittering stiletto pins in her bright blue hair and two knives, one in each of her soft black suede like boots. She took a seat behind Peters and Sekal, making it clear that in this hierarchy, she was clearly the inferior officer, and her body language said so as well. She took a PADD out of her carry bag. On it was loaded the diplomatic treaty with Bajor as well as the medical data. She carried a copy of Federation law on it, and she could easily call up the relevant passages and beam them to Sekal's PADD. Sekal could also get her notes if something was important enough to tell him immediately. Alaya enjoyed working with Sekal and she was continually impressed with his diplomatic skills as this was progressing. She had been happy on Mars, but she was happier on the ship with this crew. Sienna and Sekal were forming a tight partnership, and coming together well. Maybe every vulcan captain needed a betazoid first officer. Alaya turned her attention back to the conversation and frowned. This Dean wanted the Kai to pass on, much as the Minister they were just talking to did. She tapped on her PADD as if taking notes, and a message appeared on the Captain's - He wants the Kai to die. Her note was short and sweet. She kept her mouth shut and watched, taking everything in.

The small PADD in the hard case worn at Sekal's waist pulsed and he removed it and looked at the screen. [He wants the Kai to die] He said nothing but gave a sharp nod before turning his full attention back to the Dean of Vedeks, leader of the council. Had he been human he might have given the man a look of revulsion or anger but as Vulcan he only held his gaze impassively. Vedek Horavei had already made his intent clear, the fact that Counselor Ravenstone had also noted the same by monitoring his emotional state cemented his own logical conclusion. Sekal nodded slowly. "Illuminar has isolation wards where they might be safely treated with no threat to the crew if this is indeed a contagion. I see however that the possible death of those in the temple are not your concern, only that of the Kai. I am a being of logic as you noted so allow me to give you my logical conclusion." He sat up rigidly in the chair and leaned slightly closer to the Bajoran. "You have used the rallying cry of Prylar Tekan and his followers as a foundation of holding the Kai within the temple which you yourself do not believe since you caution against a contagion while you are willing to allow the others to be removed. You are hiding behind a religious veneer to further your own ends." He crossed his arms, his eyes never wavering. "I took the time to look through Bajoran law after learning of the issue here and the right of decease cannot be passed to another except through a Bajoran court in the event one may not make that decision themselves. The council subverted civil law by issuing the edict and as it is not founded in Bajoran law it has no authority." (Reply: Horavei) "The questions are over since you have already told me what I needed to know. As Commanding Officer of the USS Illuminar and acting Federation representative under the articles of confederation ratified by the Bajoran civil authorities the current government has given me their full support to deal with the current crisis and under Federation law I can hold yourself and your supporters on the council in violation of Federation law and have you arrested for attempted murder. While the Federation recognizes the right of religious authorities to conduct their affairs it does not countenance criminal acts." (Reply: Horavei) "You have two options." Sekal stood to his full height, towering over the Vedek but did not turn to go. "You can rescind the edict to enforce Kai Hetel's imprisonment within the temple immediately or you will be taken into custody and held on the Illuminar to be delivered to Earth on the charge of attempted murder. What is your decision?" The Vulcan's eyes were unreadable as they bored into his.

Carson Peters From: jonostf at gmail.com (Jono Bradley) Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:28:48 +0100 ission: The Root of Decay Day: 18 Stardate: 2445.09.18 (Bajor - Ashalla, Hotel High Hallack (Temple Hotel), 2nd floor, Room B - 2O, Lieutenant Carson Peters - 1745) Carson had continued to stand as they?d walked into the room. He?d relented his phaser to the guards outside and had calmly explored the room with his eyes as Sekal had talked to the man. He was pretty sure, but not one hundred percent that there was a second door into the quote behind the Vedek which had been covered by elaborate drapes. Switching his focus back to the conversation and watching the Dean Vedek. Sekal nodded slowly. "Illuminar has isolation wards where they might be safely treated with no threat to the crew if this is indeed a contagion. I see however that the possible death of those in the temple are not your concern, only that of the Kai. I am a being of logic as you noted so allow me to give you my logical conclusion." Sekal sat up rigidly in the chair and leaned slightly closer to the Bajoran. Carson watched closely, the Vedek didn?t seem to be perturbed in any way. In fact he leaned a little closer to his desk, Carson caught out of the corner of his eye a slight movement in his hand. "You have used the rallying cry of Prylar Tekan and his followers as a foundation of holding the Kai within the temple which you yourself do not believe since you caution against a contagion while you are willing to allow the others to be removed. You are hiding behind a religious veneer to further your own ends." Vedek Horavei?s eyebrow twitched slightly but otherwise his face remained completely still. "I took the time to look through Bajoran law after learning of the issue here and the right of decease cannot be passed to another except through a Bajoran court in the event one may not make that decision themselves. The council subverted civil law by issuing the edict and as it is not founded in Bajoran law it has no authority." ?You are incorrect.? The Vedek began to point out before Sekal cut him off. "The questions are over since you have already told me what I needed to know. As Commanding Officer of the USS Illuminar and acting Federation representative under the articles of confederation ratified by the Bajoran civil authorities the current government has given me their full support to deal with the current crisis and under Federation law I can hold yourself and your supporters on the council in violation of Federation law and have you arrested for attempted murder. While the Federation recognizes the right of religious authorities to conduct their affairs it does not countenance criminal acts." As a seasoned investigator and security official, Carson thought that Sekal was laying a lot out on the table based on a lot of circumstantial evidence and it looked like the Vedek thought the same as he sat back into his chair and relaxed with a smile. "You have two options." Sekal stood to his full height, towering over the Vedek but did not turn to go. "You can rescind the edict to enforce Kai Hetel's imprisonment within the temple immediately or you will be taken into custody and held on the Illuminar to be delivered to Earth on the charge of attempted murder. What is your decision?" The Vulcan's eyes were unreadable as they bored into his. The room stayed still for a moment, quiet and unmoving. The doors opened behind them and Carson heard the two security guards step in behind them. Calculating how he could get to them first if required was interrupted by a report from down below. =^=Lieutenant, we?re starting to see a large crowd of Bajorans gathering outside the Temple. They seem? it looks like they?re protesting our presence here, Sir.=^= The communication was piped into the earpiece he?d linked to his comm. badge. As the Vedek began to speak, he moved slowly towards the window of the room to look out of it. ?Logical as you think it is, we are not a race powered by Logic, Captain of the Illuminar. I think you?ll find that the intricacies of what is happening here on Bajor have slipped by you.? He paused as a screen appeared out of the desk and flipped on. Confused for a second, Carson then realised they were watching a live stream of themselves. He briefly looked out the window and saw around a hundred or so gathering outside. ?When we moved into the Hotel I asked that all our meeting rooms be wired up and live streamed to the public. The main reason was so that everyone could see us calmly going about our daily rites and rituals. To keep the planet moving forward and calm. However it seems you?ve indirectly made this a Federation trial, throwing your baseless accusations around.? The man paused. ?I can neither rescind the order to keep the Kai in the Temple or force a second vote on the matter. If you go back and watch the records of the vote you?ll see that I voted to allow her to be moved. So to accuse me of murder is just disgusting to hear from a Starfleet official.? There was another pause of silence and Carson was now pretty sure there was a second door behind the drapes as he heard it open and close. ?I do not think you want to start a bellum sacrum here Mr Starfleet.? And as the Vedek said these words, Temple Guards began marching into the room from behind him all with weapons cocked. ?For the record the Council has broken no Bajoran law- we do not subscribe to the politics of the planet and are only concerned with the will of the Prophets and the Prylar preaching outside the Temple has been told to stop, he has no links with myself or my beliefs.? ?Do you still wish to arrest me Mr Sekal? and therefore take the Bajoran religion hostage. By arresting me, the head of the Vedek Council, the only link we now have with the Prophets as the Kai is incapacitated you would in effect be telling all of Bajor that the Federation does not respect our practices and beliefs.? The Vedeks use of the Captains name for the first time- even though he?d not been given it, confirmed to Carson that the man had planned for this confrontation and had been ready for it.

As he listened anger slowly began to build which was not cooled by the words of Vedek Horavei, no it climbed to new heights. As though led by a force beyond his control from somewhere within his being, a voice whispering beyond his hearing he stepped down from the makeshift podium and began to walk toward the gates to the Temple which had been stopped against him. Within his solar plexus a new energy was radiating outward, one born of faith that pushed the anger higher as the Vulcan began to speak again. =^= It is your intent to use the passions of those under you to facilitate your ends, very well let me state the facts. Kai Hetel Krevi according to the reports I received spurned the political machinations of your ruling body and devoted herself completely to her calling and those of the faith. She spent her time ministering and teaching to the people. Her inattention gave those under her license to allow their ambitions to grow. =^= The Prylar had no problems pushing his way through the crowd, word went before him and they parted of their own accord, bowing their heads to him in deference as he moved past. The new energy which had begun within him as a small light was spreading through his body until his skin seemed to tingle and vibrate under its energy. =^= You yourself Vedek Horavei have taken advantage of her illness and those in the temple in a bid to take power and in attempting to trade the lives of those others while holding the Kai's life under your control have proven your murderous intent. While your edict is unlawful under Bajoran law the civil government has been impotent to act due to the influence of your religion and has not taken a stand against you.=^= Prylar Tekan Herla stepped through the front rank and looked across the barricade, his face was calm. The new energy and the anger had traded places. It felt as though his very skin was giving off waves of energy and his eyes it seemed to him must be glowing but the anger was now a tight knot in the pit of his stomach, suppressed but present. He saw the Bajoran major who's face had grown white at the sight of the leader he feared drop his stun baton and take his phaser in hand as his face went grim. He had a knot of Federation officers around him who had recently arrived. The Prylar took three steps toward the barricade and stopped. =^= However with your intentions made clear I will not allow your edict to stand nor will I countenance this game in which you are contemptuously using your followers as pawns to further your own aims. Lieutenant Peters please notify Vedek Horavei of his rights as he is now under arrest.=^= The sound abruptly died as though cut off at the source. Major Tan Filar's weapon was aimed at him but the Prylar was beyond concern, he turned his back to him and held out his arms as he took in the eager faces who were looking to him for guidance, waiting for the order they knew was coming. Prylar Tekan wondered for an instant if the energy coursing through him were visible, it seemed to him as though he must glow. In a booming voice his words rolled over the throng. "I have been a fool. Go home." The people hung their heads as they turned and began to slowly file out of the plaza, those who had not heard being told by others. He stood there before the barricade, a man transformed, no longer the Prylar he had once been but a man touched by the prophets, a mouthpiece, a voice. A speaker for those he served.

They must have been designed to blend in well with the accoutrements since they hadn't been readily obvious. Though the Vulcan's voice was calm and concise he appeared to be giving someone the "dressing down" of a lifetime even going so far as to list his credentials and a criminal charge. And then he laid the smackdown on the guy, telling him to rescind the edict or be arrested. Steven grinned, it was pure Sekal all the way and Steven prayed to the dear Lord in heaven he never got on the Vulcan's bad side like this Vedek Hoavei just had. If the CO ever laid charges on him Steven knew there was no way in hell he'd ever squirm free of them. The voice of Horavei was slick, oily and self-assured. He even had a bit of a gloating tone in it. Steven decided then and there he didn't like the guy whoever he was. If he thought the CO was going to let him off scot free he had another think coming. Sure enough after laying down the law Sekal's voice took on a stony note as he rebutted the insolent weasel's comeback. It was during that time that he noted the crowd edging closer with dangerous looks on their faces. ~Oh, oh! We aren't out of the woods yet.~ Then a curious thing happened as the Vulcan continued to lay the smack down, the crowd in front of them began parting like the red sea with the very selfsame Prylar who had been causing trouble walking through their midst like he was walking on water. Hammons turned his head to see Major Tan's reaction, his face had gone white as a sheet and he dropped his stun baton to pull his phaser. Steven whipped his head around. ~Things are about to get ugly.~ He debated pulling his own phaser but in the absence of orders decided against it. He did note an interesting thing about the Prylar though, his face was peaceful, calm and serene. Not the face you would normally consider of a troublemaker. He stepped out from the crowd and then turned after looking at them for a moment beatifically. He expected to be able to hear a pin drop in the plaza it had gone so quiet after the sound cut out on orders for the Vedek's arrest. Steven had his stun baton at chest level just in case they made a rush. Now he understood why Filar was so nervous. If the Prylar ordered them to charge now.... "I have been a fool. Go home." He boomed. His words seemed to deflate the mob. Many hung their heads and began plodding off leaving the Prylar standing with his back to them. All along the line the Bajoran forces relaxed, some taking deep breaths as their tension ebbed. Steven's mouth was open in shock. "What the hell just happened?" He asked no one in particular.

Lieutenant Peters please notify Vedek Horavei of his rights as he is now under arrest." Horavei watched the Vulcan become more impassioned himself, seemingly making a grand speech before a jury. He privately wondered why the Captain of a Starship which had been on the planet for an hour or so had decided that he, Dean of the Vedek, was the issue at hand and not the thousands of protestors or the fact that their leader was currently incapciated. He watched somewhat dazed as the Lieutenant stepped forward one step, before pulling out a device which he activated- presumably to disrupt the live feed coming from the hotel room and then halt as the ten Temple Guards (Corps of the Prophets) that had entered from behind the Vedek raised their weapons in defence. He also noted that the woman who hadn't spoken much had the characteristics of the Betazoid and understood immediately why she was present alongside her Captain. From that moment forward he kept his thoughts and feelings trained on what he was saying and nothing else. "Sit back down, Captain." Horavei said as he leant forward. The room was still monitored and the video link could be reuploaded after the meeting, so he knew he needed to keep his composure. "I do not intend to be incarcerated by a Starfleet officer which has been on the planet less time than it takes me to eat a good meal. Especially one, eager to prove themselves on their first mission. Equally I would rather not have to use force to do so, as you can see you're extraordinarily outnumbered both inside this room and outside by the Corps of the Prophets. They are over a thousand strong, so it seems unlikely you have the numbers to force a confrontation. Equally as you're aware transport in and out of this area is impossible. So I say again, take a seat." (Reply Sekal, Ravenstone IYW) "I fail to see your reasonings behind wanting to arrest me. You talk as if I am the leader of The Way of the Prophets. If so, you speak from a place of ignorance which doesn't suit your station." he took a breath before continuing, "I am the appointed representative of the Council of Vedeks, the one who brings forth their edicts and converses with the Kai who in turn converses with the Emissary who speaks for our Prophets. The only power I am given, is the power that the Council grants me and my life force granted by the Prophets of course." he paused and made a gesture of thanks in mid-air. "Because of this, I have a close relationship with the Kai. I would no rather see her die than cut my own arm off, my Pah is clean and will stay that way. She has had the closest relationship with the Prophets and Emissary than I can remember seeing from any Kai during my lifetime. Perhaps this is why they have sent this test, if she rises and passes through it- she would rightfully be proclaimed as the greatest holy leader we have had in a millenia. This is my personal belief and reading of the message the Emissary presented to the Kai before her deep slumber. She is fighting a withering tree of corruption in her dreams, much as it seems we are doing in real life. Corruption within the Ministry which has deemed it time to try and bring The Way of the Prophets back under Government control. You know this yourself Sekal, yes? You know of what you were asked to do for the Ministry?" (Reply Sekal, Ravenstone) "Whilst the outspoken Prylar has been somewhat of a nuisance and attempting to subvert the Councils wishes to keep the Kai separate from the general populace, I do not agree with state sanctioned assasination and if you decide to help the corrupt Minister in this matter you would be directly interfering with The Way of the Prophets and our life here on Bajor. Under your order, your men could directly influence and change the lives of millions of Bajorans for the worse. I believe your Starfleet has sanctions and orders to prevent this. I plead with you on behalf of the Prylar and all those that hold the Way of the Prophets so dear that you turn your back on the Minister's request and instead aid us to stand up against this corrupt government." (Reply Sekal, Ravenstone) "Whilst she is incapacitated the Council holds power over the events she would normally see to, not me. I am the voice of the council, so I can see how an off-worlder may make the mistake of judging that it is I that is making the decisions, it is a quick and easy job to review the councils voting record and see that I have pled my fellow Vedeks to allow the Kai to be removed and treated within a Bajoran medical facility. I would be MORE than happy to assist you in petitioning the council to relook at this, however as I've already said our by-laws restrict the council from voting upon the same motion within fourteen days of the original vote. The only thing that can override this is a sign from the Emissary of the Prophets themselves and for that we require the Kai to be awake." "As for the legalities of the matter, the council is separated from the civil law here on Bajor. The Way of the Prophets and the planets governing system are separate and co-exist symbiotically, neither can affect the other and as such we do not fall under Bajoran or in-fact Federation rule, as we have no treaty with you." he paused again, "Not that we've broken any of their laws anyway. I can't say as much for the First Minister and cronies, they flaunt WOTP beliefs and practices in favour of power and control." (Reply Sekal, Ravenstone) "I am an old man Sekal. The way the prophets have shown us is ingrained within our society, I am a religious leader- not a political one. I need to protect my flock and my flock is currently the millions which rely on our wisdom and foresight. Anything your medics & scientists can do to end this ordeal I would implore you to do. But the Kai can not be removed from the Temple, she must see through the challenge she has been presented with. I do not expect you to understand, but I implore you- once again, to empathise and not attempt to force your will upon the Prophets. It would do you no good."

He took a final look at the console and then shut it off. At the opposing end, stood the Bajoran male from the atmospherics lab. Stennin had learned he was CPO Addial Mir. "Chief, are all the teams assembled?" Stennin asked. The Bajoran man nodded. "Affirmative, sir. We are standing by for your orders." the chief answered. Stennin nodded, and stepped out the door to the microbiology labs, where a number of people were waiting. Stennin nodded again, and watched to see if all people were here. "Orders are plain: Medical teams will start with diagnosing. I need at least 6 stretchers to put any patients on. Move any serious patients to sickbay. Report any findings to me and the captain. Science teams will move in two. First team will start the pathological investigation, headed by me. Second team, investigate environmental conditions. Any anomalous readings, report directly to me." The people around him listened attentively, and nodded in agreement. Stennin nodded one last time, and then said: "Medical teams go to Transporter 1. Science teams go to 2 and 3." with that, he moved out and went to the turbolift. He quickly tapped his commbadge. =/\= Ensign Stennin to the Bridge. =/\= (Reply Jaton, Bridge) =/\= The medical and science teams are moving out to the transporter.

He walked the corridor and then entered the second Transporter room. The chief, a small terran male, nodded softly and then returned to his console. "Six persons at a time." He remarked softly. Stennin nodded, and motioned for the first to step up as he walked to the central focus ring. "You'll need a pattern enhancer per group, sir. The weather is making it harder to keep track of life signs." the chief concluded. Stennin concurred, and two men took some pattern enhancers from the room cabinets. With each group armed with one, Stennin nodded. "Energize." He commanded.

He had finally been released from sickbay after his bout with that thrice damned, rare and potentially lethal viral infection but hadn't been cleared for duty yet. He felt like a failure, his men and women were out giving their all and he was stuck here on the ship. He couldn't even man a checkpoint outside the ship for the love of god! Reports had been coming in over the security channel. The showdown at the plaza had been defused. "That's some good news at least!" But the guard detail for the CO had come under fire at the hotel and were withdrawing. "**** it!" He slammed his fist down on the table and hit a comm button. "Ensign Hammerfield take half your detail to the hotel and back up the CO's party. Help them get clear. Fight your way in and out if you have to but get them out of there!"

Devers frowned before punching the man in the chin, knocking him out cold. ?That?ll shut him up.? The two dropped to one knee, phasers out.?Set to heavy stun,? Lanis called. ?Copy that,? Devers replied adjusting his phaser settings. The first phaser blast from down the hall passed over their heads.Blue light from their two phasers shot out, hitting the first two attackers square in the chest. ?Crappy tactical situation,? Devers called as four more guards poured out of the elevator. ?Remember our orders.We hold this position,? Lanis said. ?We hold.? Phaser energy filled the air.The Bajorans were not very well trained, while the Star Fleet duo was.In short order, four more were down. =^= Devers to Carson, it?s a trap.The Vedick got a signal out to his men. We just took six more down.A little help would be in order. =^= (Reply Carson) ?Lanis, cover me,? Devers said.?I?m going to go try to short the lift out.Maybe buy us some time.? ?Copy that,? Lanis replied. Devers ran down the hall.Dodging around the men laying on the ground.He set his phaser to high power, aimed at the control panel, and fired.Sparks and pops filled the air as the phaser heated up the metal and fused the various circuits together. ?That ought a slow them down.? He tried to remember where the stairs were, when he heard a door down the hall from where he was.?More incoming? he called, as he dropped to his knee. Lanis? phaser shot out stunning the leading attackers. She hit her communicator =^= Illuminar, Lieutenant, could use a bit of help out here. =^= she called as she fired again.

Horavei thought his sect outside Bajoran civil law apparently but the Vulcan knew better as he had researched the subject exhaustively. While their were known religious authorities such as the Vatican on Earth which were a law unto themselves with their own police force and civil laws The Path of the Prophets had no such status. The agreement between religious and civil authorities on the planet was one of peaceful coexistence in which both maintained a hands off approach to the other by tradition but it was not spelled out in the planet's civil code. By practice and tradition then he was correct but in matters pertaining to law he was not. Had this been the disconnect that the Vedek did not understand? Had Sekal misread the intent? Both apropos questions. Technically by Federation laws the edict was unenforceable. The Vulcan maintained his silence throughout the diatribe, saying nothing until it ended with an emotional plea which did not faze him in the least. Events however had caught up with them as the sounds of phaser fire in the corridor and Lieutenant Peters conversing with security pointed out. This area of the hotel was under attack. Sekal finally spoke. "Your insults and assertions of misguided zeal and collusion with the government are misplaced however I will take some time to consider the matter further. For now my party and myself will take our leave." He turned on his heel and strode from the room after his second officer.

Penny assumed it was because of instead of taking the elderly women?s advice. Going for Science she chose Security and tactical. Mc Taggard had time before being assigned. So Penny decided to visit Bajor. As she shut the door of her hotel room. Thoughts of the last days entered her head. To celebrate her father took them to a restaurant. However her mother ended up in hospital. When in her excitement she swallowed something that was a little too large for her throat and nearly choked to death. Thankfully she was ok after her ordeal. Penny?s gran took her to one side. ? So tell me what are yer plans now? ? She asked ? Well. It will be a while before I get assigned. So I was thinking of going to Bajor ? Penny told her cheerfully. ? So yer plan to go ahead..... I see.? Her gran replied ? I just spent four years training to be. A Starfleet Officer gran. So yes of course I plan to go ahead.? Penny told her. ? Then listen carefully. Yer have a distant cousin also in the Starfleet.? She told her. ? But gran I thought we were the only members of the family? ? Penny said surprised. ? Nay lassie if only that were true. A feud more ancient then yer wee boned exists. All I will say is be wary of the bearded man who bears the name of More.?Her gran warned. ? Gran I can?t not speak to this guy. Especially if he is also a Starfleet Officer.? Penny warned ? I have said all I will say.? Her gran replied. Penny?s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a fight. Looking around she saw some Starfleet officers being attacked. Without thinking Penny rushed to help. Picking up a vase she smashed it over the head of a would be assailant. The officers looked at her suspiciously. ? Ensign Penny Mc Taggard just graduated. Unassigned but willing to help.?

The way the prophets have shown us is ingrained within our society, I am a religious leader- not a political one. I need to protect my flock and my flock is currently the millions which rely on our wisdom and foresight. Anything your medics & scientists can do to end this ordeal I would implore you to do. But the Kai can not be removed from the Temple, she must see through the challenge she has been presented with. I do not expect you to understand, but I implore you- once again, to empathise and not attempt to force your will upon the Prophets. It would do you no good." The Vedek finished speaking and before Sekal, Carson or Ravenstone could reply the guards stood outside, burst through into Carson?s ear. =^=Lieutenant Carson. Guards got frisky outside. Lanis and I got them secure. Do you require assistance?=^= ?Negative. Stand fast.=^= Carson replied, he saw Sekal glance at him. They were outnumbered, outgunned and outplanned. He counted a total of 12 Temple Guards in the room, all heavily armed and surrounding them. Sekal was going to have to talk their way out of this one, there was no way the Illuminar could provide aid quickly enough. Before anything else could happen, Devers replied. It seemed like they were under attack again. =^=Devers to Carson, it?s a trap. The Vedick got a signal out to his men. We just took six more down. A little help would be in order.=^= ?Vedek, if you could ask your men to stop attacking my Security Officers in the hall. Your guards in the room here, seem to have us completely out-numbered and we have met with you completely unarmed.? Carson said, the first words he?d spoken directly to the Religious Leader. The man shot up. Now standing, his face had gone from calm to confused and then utterly concerned. He looked from Carson and then back to Sekal, ?I don?t have any men in the corridor, Captain. If you?re being attacked it is not by me.? ?Your guards took our weapons before we entered Vedek.? Carson pointed out. ?I had no guards standing outside my office.? The man spat back. ?What you see here is my personal guard. Attached to me as the highest ranking Vedek. They are the best trained warriors we have within the Temple and are not guards to stand on a door.? Carson looked around the room, he had to admit they did look a cut above what he?d seen down at the Hotel entrance. ?Then who??? His question trailed off as the comm chatter started up again. =^=Illuminar, Lieutenant, could use a bit of help out here.=^= Tapping his comm. badge, ?Incoming Devers. Illuminar, lock the ship down, you may have incoming.? He span on the spot, ?Captain, Counsellor, Vedek. Please excuse me. You two,? he pointed to the two men who had been standing behind them for the last 5 minutes. ?If this isn?t an attack by you, it?d an attack on you or us. Either way to protect the Vedek, you?ll come with me to neutralise the threat.? The two men looked from Carson to the Vedek who had sat back down behind his desk and several of his personal guards were now beginning to encircle him. ?Do what he says.? He said in somewhat of a panic. The two guards snapped to attention and allowed Carson through, ?Weapon?? He said as he held his hand out. The guard on the right, pulled a Bajoran phaser from his belt and handed it to him. Carson took a step towards the closed door and motioned for the two of them to flank it. He nodded to the guard in the right and he tapped a code in to force the door open. The scene which unfurled in front of him was a mess. The two security officers they?d left outside were busy taking defensive positions and tactically taking out assailants who were wearing Temple robes but not the same as the Vedeks personal guard. The lift seemed to have been taken out of commission and Devers had created a choke hold at the staircase. ?Situation Report? Carson yelled as he stepped out into the hallway. Just as he did a woman smashed a vase over one of the assailants heads, who were appearing around a second corner. He looked at her incredulously at the civilian about to tell her to retreat before she said, ?Ensign Penny Mc Taggard just graduated. Unassigned but willing to help.? Carson nodded. ?With me, Ensign.? The lift doors opened and another 6 men moved out of it with weapons lifted. Before Carson could make a move, streaks of light fizzed passed him as the Vedeks personal guard vapourized the 6 men with a few well placed shots. About to turn around them and ask them to change their weapon setting to stun, he noticed they?d already laid into all the targets which his men had previously restrained. ?We need to move,? he called back to Sekal, Ravenstone, the Vedek and his guards.

He had finally been released from sickbay after his bout with that thrice damned, rare and potentially lethal viral infection but hadn't been cleared for duty yet. He felt like a failure, his men and women were out giving their all and he was stuck here on the ship. He couldn't even man a checkpoint outside the ship for the love of god! Reports had been coming in over the security channel. The showdown at the plaza had been defused. "That's some good news at least!" But the guard detail for the CO had come under fire at the hotel and were withdrawing. "**** it!" He slammed his fist down on the table and hit a comm button. "Ensign Hammerfield take half your detail to the hotel and back up the CO's party. Help them get clear. Fight your way in and out if you have to but get them out of there!" (Reply: Hammerfield, room for more) One more. "Devers support is on the way, I repeat support is on the way." (Reply: Devers) After issuing the orders he hit the comm again and his voice when he spoke was only a few decibels short of a roar. "Sickbay when is my damn clearance for duty going to come through? My butt is needed on the planet not planted in a chair!" (Reply: Trei) "About damn time!" He whirled and snatched his sidearm off an adjoining cabinet and buckled it to his belt then hit the comm a fourth time. "Lieutenant Verin I've just been given medical clearance for return to duty. I'm headed out." (Reply: Verin) He stopped in the armory just long enough to grab a phaser rifle and took off down the corridor toward the turbolift like a bat out of hell.

"Drop me in outside the hotel front entrance so I can link up with my relief team. Hotel High Hallack and do it yesterday!" The transporter chief just nodded and got to work as Svend took one of the pads and verified the weapon setting for the second time. He had already checked the charge and setting when he had grabbed it in the armory. "Ready here." "Then go damn...." The rest of what he had to say was cut off as he was whisked away.

She waited for Dalton, but in the end, Quinna knew that it would be here. She just hoped the Captain received the permissions needed to set up in the temple. Quinna planned to sleep in the clean room to be close to those she was trying to heal. It was important that she had a cot and a few pillows in case she needed to sleep. The setup team came into the cargo bay wearing red biohazard suits. They were going to set up Quinna?s area to work. She applied her signature to their order and moved out of the way. She stepped out of the cargo bay and headed to the transporter room. She thought that since she had some time, she would walk around the area surrounding the temple. As she was quietly waiting to exit the ship, Quinna jumped as her communicator went off. The sound cut through the silence like a warm knife going through butter. ^= Trei to Solice I am ready for patients Trei out. ^= =^= Thank you. Good Luck. =^= Quinna was pleased that Trei was prepared. She knew she was leaving Sickbay in good hands. Quinna stepped on the Transport and found herself outside the Temple Hotel. (Bajor -- Outside Temple Hotel -- CMO Lt. J.G. Quinna Solice -- 1834) Quinna slowly shopped the street venders as she made her way to the temple. Various items were made especially for the tourist. Some of the vendors refused to acknowledge Quinna as they were not wanting to deal with starfleet. Quinna was able to get a Jumja Stick. Quinna remembered loving them, but had forgotten how sweet they were. She worked hard on finishing it but was too much. But that never stopped her and she ate until she was about to bust. After 30 minutes, the set up team had the clean room together and ready for Quinna to set up. With a site to site transport, Quinna materialized in the Temple in a room close to the Kai?s room.

Passersby were gawking as the barrel of the phaser rifle swept around the area putting some of them to flight with his eye following the reticule. No weapons in sight and no threats overt or otherwise that he could see. "Starfleet security, clear the street!" He bellowed putting the rest to seeking cover or running away. Finally satisfied there were no enemy combatants he darted to one side of the door to the lobby so no one could attack his six. =^= Hammerfield to Svend, we are in position at the hotel basement. =^= He tapped his combadge, his eyes never still. "Copy that. I'm at the entry. Have two secure any lift entrances and push up the stairs on my order. Our goal is the second floor." (Reply: Hammerfield) He then hit the comm. "Communications, security override, Saarsgard Beta 5, patch all security comms on the planet through me. When I speak they'd all better damn well hear me." =^= Override acknowledged. You have an open channel. =^= "Acknowleded." He then activated the comm. "Devers we are about to push. Expect them to come scurrying out of the woodwork like cockroaches. Hammerfield in two...one..." He readied himself. "Breach!" (Reply: Devers, Hammerfield) He hit the door low. (Bajor- Ashalla - Hotel lobby - Acting Chief of Security- Ensign (sg) Svend Saarsgard - 1809) He followed the rifle in, the lobby wasn't crowded but it wasn't empty either. "Starfleet security, everyone on the floor!" He bellowed. All froze for an instant before dropping except for one who popped out from behind a corner across the lobby on the left. He was wearing an elaborate getup with a yellow sash and was swinging a phaser pistol toward Svend. He appeared to have gotten caught watching or guarding a door but that wasn't all he got caught by as energy erupted from the barrel of Svend's rifle. He was outlined for an instant in blue light before crumpling to the floor. There was answering fire but he was already moving to cover. ~Only an idiot works alone and these aren't idiots apparently. That's fine, it adds spice to the game.~ "Hammerfield one down with one in play in the lobby. Watch your six." (Reply: Hammerfield) His head popped out from behind the pillar then back behind cover before the second combatant could get a good target and the shot wasn't even close to hitting. ~Exposed your cover you son of a *****. It's a bad day for you.~ He set the phaser rifle to disintegrate. ~I hope that pillar is decorative and not load bearing.~ He readied himself then made the same move to bait the enemy into firing knowing it would take the weapon an instant to recharge before firing again. Same result. ~Serves you right stupid for what you're about to get.~ He swung around the pillar he was hiding behind and his rifle fired dead center on the pillar the goon was using for cover. The pillar glowed for an instant before vanishing. Before the astonished goon could react Svend had dropped the rifle and dove to the tiles as he was grabbing his sidearm. Both phasers fired at nearly the same instant, the enemy shot high and took a full stun charge to the chest which slammed him back against the wall behind him. Saarsgard shouted into the comm.

He took a look around as he noticed he was in a large room, possibly a bunkhouse. However, the people on the beds were not resting. They were in pain. Stennin looked around as the other teams materialized as well, and walked to the medical team. "I need diagnoses for these people. Sent them up to Lieutenant Williams-Verin for verification. Start with analgesics first. No symptom treatment until we have examined the pathogenic source." He commanded. The nurses confirmed his orders and quickly took out their tricorders. He turned to the science teams, who were unpacking and setting up stations. He noticed Jaton at one of them. He nodded when the Trill turned to him. "Stennin, you start your scans in the east wing. Take Olafsson with you. When I'm finished here, I'll start in the west with Ensign Khan. Be sure that you're patched into the Illuminar systems so that we can map what we find in the Illuminar data banks as well as here in the mobile station." Jaton commanded.

Our tricorder will be directly related to the lab personnel." (Reply Jaton) "I have one team looking at the magnetic readings here. The probes showed errors in this sector, I have to confirm them." Stennin said. He took a tricorder from the desk, and then nodded at Jaton. He motioned for Crewman Olafsson, a young terran, to follow him. "I will keep an open commlink." He remarked to Jaton. (Reply Jaton, if wanted) Stennin nodded, and then activated the tricorder. He walked towards the east wing. (Ashalla, Bajor - Temple West Wing Corridor - Level 2 - ACSRD Ensign Stennin - 1815) Stennin tapped his tricorder a few times. He brought up the environmental settings, and quickly focused on the biology readings. He looked around a few times, and held out his tricorder and different points. But after a few minutes, he shook his head. There was no pathological source to be found. At least not a biological one. Stennin turned to Olafsson, who was inspecting the magnetic readings. Stennin walked to him. "No apparent sign of viral, bacterial, or parasitic agents." he remarked. The crewman looked up, and nodded. "The magnetic readings seem fine." he said. Stennin frowned, and took a look at the tricorder readings. He murmured, but nodded in agreement. "The source of the malady is not in this sector. We must await the results of Jaton and Khan." He concluded. He took a final look at the tricorder, but shook his head. =/\= Ensign Stennin to Lieutenant Jaton. Our scanners indicated no anomalies in our wing.

What does that make me?~ They had the enemy caught in a pincher and it was now his job to provide crossfire. The weapon was undamaged from its impact with the floor so he jumped out and began sprinting farther into the building after changing the setting. He rounded the island containing the hotel managers desk, the man's eyes were peeking over it and wide with alarm and almost ran into a combatant who was crouched behind a heavy tile basin containing a large exotic plant. There was no sightline on his men from this vantage point so he was obviously waiting in ambush. He was whirling around to meet the new threat but his eyes went wide at the sight of a big, booted foot headed for his face. The sound of the firefight had covered Saarsgard's approach until the very last instant. The sole of the boot met his nose with a sickly crunch and blood fountained as his skull was driven back into the basin. There wasn't even a moan as the phaser dropped to the tiles with a clatter from nerveless fingers. ~Not sorry to say you might not make it old son.~ "Hammerfield I have an sniper position on their flank near the main desk." He leaned out and the reticule began seeking out targets. His rifle discharged and a yellow sashed Bajoran went down with a choked cry. He began using phased energy beams for line of sight on more targets. The enemy now realized they were caught in a crossfire and some began firing in his direction.

CO- Lieutenant Commander Sekal ? 1816) ?Commander, we need to get you secured, we have more incoming.? They had been holding their own for several minutes and unconcious Bajorans lay scattered about the hallway but any forces remaining between the second floor and ground floor being pushed by the rescue force were expected to move in their direction. There were many logical reasons for this, their targets were here and there would be a lot of cover if they could break through the defense. The most interesting question was what their ultimate targets were. Vedek Horavei had boasted of having extensive forces to call upon but the few in attendance were with him in his room at the end of the corridor and he had disclaimed this new force as being under his control. Two of his guards had also killed a number of them. They were now out of the fight having retreated to take up vigil over the leader of the council once again. If Horavei was not directing them then the attack could not be aimed at the Starfleet personnel despite the coincidental timing. A force this large would need time to stage. Sekal and his party had been here only a brief time and the meeting only recently planned. If not StarFleet personnel then the logical target was Horavei himself and perhaps others on the council. The only logical extrapolation then was that they had stumbled into a preplanned attack upon the leadership of the Bajoran religion set in motion by the leader of the Pagh Wraith cultists. These enemy combatants might indeed have been attempting to disguise themselves in order to get close to the leadership. There was also a very high probability due to their numbers that these were actually members of the temple guard who had either been planted within it or later turned by the cultists and did not owe Horavei any allegiance. If so elements of Horavei's own temple guard force was in arms against him. Also Sekal's presence here was a detriment to his security contingent's safety as protecting him limited their ability to move freely. "We are not their target. Taking cover should greatly increase our survivability. Find an unoccupied room to shelter in.," ?Lieutenant need a room. A chokepoint.? Devers responded. (Reply Carson) ?Great. Lanis, ready?? ?Copy that,? she said, ?Lieutenant, we?re moving to your position.? ?Commander, Ensign please stay behind Lanis and myself, keep your backs to the wall till we get to the room.? It was textbook tactics. While he was more than able to defend himself it was his duty to protect them by freeing them to operate freely. Sekal did as requested until he reached the indicated room and entered. ? Don?t worry people. I scored top marks on the Starfleet academy shooting range. I have your backs.? The cadet was inexperienced perhaps but willing. Her unassigned status would have to be rectified soon. (Reply: Alaya) The room was modest in size with almost a quarter of the floor space taken up by the bed. Sekal took the corner that was not within sightline of the open door with his phaser at the ready. Any trying to come through the door would face a withering fire from within. "Remain within the room, the enemy should pass us by. Between the Vedek's guards and our relief force the enemy should stand little chance. I anticipate any trying to enter will be seeking shelter."

SPC COUNS Alaya Ravenstone ? 1823) Alaya was afraid. She had been afraid in the Dean's room, had been terrified when she sensed the emotions of the ones fighting outside. She had to firmly resist the impulse to read the thoughts of those attacking them. Alaya had never been in a true combat situation before - she had trained and she had fought in training but had never been in a life or death situation before. And this new starfleet cadet had randomly showed up to assist them. But when they had gotten to the room they were sheltering in, Alays looked Penny over. "Cadet my name is Counselor Ravenstone. May I have permission to quickly scan your thoughts to make sure that you are on our side, and not a plant?" Alaya was taking nothing at face value and this Cadet had arrived at exactly the right moment. Coincidence perhaps but she was not taking any chances. The security officers were working on moving a bed to the front of the door and the male, Devers was trying to prove that he was a hercules. Alaya had heard that he was often teased and sometimes nicknamed that because he did weight training on the ship and had competed in some competitions back on Earth and Mars. "Lanis, I admit I'm scared. Would you mind standing over here with me?" Alaya was trying to protect the female officer. She was glad when Lanis came over. Alaya whispered, "What is Steven going to do if I get an injury?" Alaya had no weapon, but she did have her blades. She didn't pull them however. She was nervous. Devers turned towards Sekal and asked for orders. "Can we reach the ship? Why don't we just beam out?" She felt like she was stating the obvious.

At least her idea about using the bed as a barricade. Was being worked on. For some reason it was bolted down. I McTaggard wondered what this bearded cousin. Who went by the name of More looked like. There had been this creepy guy with a beard. At the academy who kept looking at her. But when she approached him he ran off. Any further thoughts on the creepy guy were driven away when Ravenstone asked to scan Penny?s thoughts. Mc Taggard had nothing to hide really. Plus it would prove she was a genuine just graduated starfleet cadet. ? If it will put yer mind at ease. I have nay problem counsellor.? Penny said with a smile.

A chokepoint.? Devers responded. Carson nodded, he was already thinking the same thing. He hadn't been best pleased with the Commander stepping out into the corridor to join them. He was about to ask that he and the Counsellor step back into the room with the Vedek and his guards when they had been set on again by the assailants. "That one." he nodded to the two security agents alongside him as he took up a defensive position by it. Carson put down covering fire as Devers and Lanis escorted Sekal and Ravenstone into the room with the newly minted Ensign. Unused to the weapon he was using, his shots weren't making him look like the ace shot that he knew he was. It had been a while since he'd engaged in shooting practice, due to the demands of his new role so he made a mental note to make time the next time he was on the ship. Once the group had entered the room, Carson stepped in backwards with his weapon facing out of the door. There was a silence as the door was slid shut and locked. "Remain within the room, the enemy should pass us by. Between the Vedek's guards and our relief force the enemy should stand little chance. I anticipate any trying to enter will be seeking shelter." "Super work." Carson said as he breathed out. It was only then he realised the Bajoran guards the Vedek had sent with him had either perished or retreated back to keep the Vedek safe. He tapped his comm badge, "Ensign Saarsgard, Hammerfield. We've holed up in room 237. Primary is in hand and we'll stay put unless told otherwise. Provide a Situation Report at earliest convenience." he said as he scanned the room, this was it, this was the room where it'd all happen and boy he was glad to be inside it. (Reply Saarsgard, Hammerfield) ?Beds not a good barrier against a phaser, but we need more room to move around.? ?Orders Sir?? Devers said as he moved along the wall to the area of the room Carson and Sekal were standing. "Can we reach the ship? Why don't we just beam out?" Ravenstone said from across the room. Carson made a calming gesture with his hand to the personnel in the room and gestured to the corners, "Please, everyone move to the corners away from the doors and prepare your weapons. If we stay low and quiet, they may never know we're here. He passed the Commander his tri-corder, "Commander can you hook this up to the room's sensors and provide us with a black-out zone? It didn't look like they had any personal sensor equipment, but you never know." (Reply Sekal) He turned to the Counselor, who he understood was well outside of her comfort zone. "The Hotel has made it so a beam out is impossible." he said in a kind tone, "Needn't worry though, if I know My Hammons as I do, if he's heard we're in trouble I'm sure he's ignoring every order given to him and barging through the entire Hotel to get here. We're probably safer for having you here." he smiled in her direction. "Thinking about it, Starfleet might have to reimburse the owners of this establishment for whatever damage he causes." he joked. (Reply Ravenstone) "Devers It's me and you, if it's clear we're about to be discovered, we're making a break for it to try to guide them away from this room. Understood?"

Moving out on to the level the corridors moved in long lines giving little room to maneuverer and making it a good choice for an ambush. She glanced back to two of the security officers, ?Hold this position,? She removed her remaining grenade and lobbed it up the stairs onto the second floor as an energy blast stuck the wall behind her that was fired from a room at the far end of the first floor. The sounds of weapons fire were dimmed slightly by the grenade as she climbed up to the next floor opting to bypass the first. (Bajor - Ashalla - 2nd Floor, Ensign Janice Hammerfield - 1830) Sticking to the walls she moved up and seen a figure rubbing their eyes with one hand midway down one end of the corridor. His other hand on a weapon that he discharged blindly into the corridor striking the walls and knocking a few of the lights off. Getting low onto the ground she took aim with her phaser and knocked the stunned man out with relative ease. She looked quickly at the room numbering and moved towards room 237. Slowly she moved forward with a few extra from security checking the doorways using her phaser to quickly melt the door it frame in case anyone got the bright idea of jumping out unobstructed. Two men in uniform turned the corner up ahead in a dash. Seeing a firing line ahead of them one slid to the ground trying to reverse direction too quickly as the other attempted to duck into a shallow archway. Both were quickly dispatched their haste to reach the stairs proving their undoing. Janice looked round the hallway corner quickly and seeing no signs of resistance moved up to room 237. ?You can open up now!? she shouted at the door as she pulled her phaser rifle off her back looking down the corridor to provide some covering fire as doors started to open up further down. Pulling the trigger twice she let a burst go trying to keep them inside the rooms before they had a chance to move out. (reply any in room 237) ?Any time today...? she said firing a few more suppression shots off. (reply any in room 237) As the door clicked open the adjacent to her opened and an unmistakable clink chimed in her ear. She quickly pushed the person back opening the door. Another clink as the grenade rolled up to the wall beside the door. She took one step forward into the room closing her eyes shut waiting for the impact. The concussion grenade detonated sending her into the door frame and tumbling into the room. The walls shuddered sending loose debris scattering around and a thin smoky mist of dust and dirt kicked up into the air. Landing in the room she could feel her head ache as a ringing sounded in her ears. She quickly wiggled her fingers and toes and noting that she could she attempted to use an arm to get up to her knees but slipped back down as her sense of balance was completely shot. Opening her eyes the room spun and everything burred into a mess of colour. She closed her eyes an blinked trying to reset her vision more quickly.

The stimulants had done little more than slow the progression of whatever was happening to her. The medical scanner above her bed that was monitoring her vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and neural connection were continuing to wane. Pain was flat lined so at least she wasn't suffering. At some point though her heart would halt in its depressed rhythm and there would be no restarting it. He knew this and it made him angry just as he knew the other doctors seeing to other patients were similarly enraged and frustrated. The idea had been considered of putting her on full life support not if but when she failed and had been struck down by someone in the Vedek Council but he didn't care, he was going to do it anyway. There was time yet before he would have to take that step, perhaps a couple of days. He would have to leave soon anyway. His half hour allotted for the day was almost up. He turned in reflex to the door as it opened. "Yes?" One of the nurses was standing in the portal. "Doctor Niva a Federation doctor has just arrived and is asking to see you. She is just down the hall, room on the left." "Finally!" He expostulated through gritted teeth. "I'm on my way. Take over watching her until my relief arrives."

One thing he did remember clearly was his security detail, agents of speed, decisiveness and action removed him from the private room as soon as Commander Sekal had foolishly walked out into the corridor of chaos. Not really listening to what they were muttering to each other, he allowed himself to be swept up and ushered out of the rear-hidden- entrance to the room and down several flights of stairs. He knew they were close to the bottom of the hotel when they were set upon by two ambushers who were set about waiting for them. Horavei flung himself across the corridor as the 13, or was it 15? men obliterated the oncoming assailants. This interruption had probably saved the Captain, but not yet Captain's career. Arresting a foreign leader with little to no evidence would have had the entire of Bajor up in arms. Horavei found himself wondering on the man's motivations as he glided towards one of the rear Hotel service doors. It was that moment when he locked eyes with a man, he looked like a Hotel cook perhaps. There was a second, a second where he could have warned his guards, but instead he decided to accept what was happening. He knew it would. The beam grazed his arm and his head smashed onto a work surface as he fell to the ground. Dizzy. Sick. Pain. The man didn't last long once they knew he was there. Ushered into the back of a dark car, he heard the men around him shouting about going to a medical centre. This brought his senses back. "No. Take me to the Temple Square. I know where I am required." His voice was calm, patient and assured. No one questioned his decision.

There were two council meetings she attended during that time about something that was happening here but otherwise she stayed away from the public which is in itself unusual." Shay pulled a kerchief from a pocket and wiped a slight sheen of perspiration from his brow. ?How many more are sick?? The Federation doctor inquired. Shay knew he was overstaying his visitation time but at the moment this was more important. With the StarFleet doctor here to run things he could cut his round short tomorrow.

"There is no tissue or DNA breakdown due to radiation, it isn't what they've been eating, drinking or breathing and I can't move them out of this damnable edifice for more intensive scrutiny." Quinna thought for a minute, ?We may not be able to move the Kai, but maybe we can transport some of the others to isolation rooms on the Illuminar.? (Reply Shay) ?We can talk again tomorrow, you look like you have not had a moment?s rest.? Quinna hoped she was not being insulting but she knew what tired looked like. (Reply Shay) ?One more thing before you go?? Quinna added, ?... I will be going to see the Kai tonight, but I want to eliminate those to go in and tend to her in her state.

"That sounds like an excellent idea." He nodded appreciatively. "I'm certain the technology StarFleet can bring to bear on the matter may be the push that is needed." ?We can talk again tomorrow, you look like you have not had a moment?s rest.? She gave him a knowing look. He gave her a wan smile and nodded. "Yes it's about time I left. I'll pop back in just long enough to check on your progress and in case you have any more questions. To be quite honest there isn't much more I can do at this point." He then stood to his feet. ?One more thing before you go... I will be going to see the Kai tonight, but I want to eliminate those who go in and tend to her in her state. I think we should keep contact to a bare minimum." "Quite understandable..." the doctor agreed, "... I will pass along your instructions to the others who are on rotation and direct them to other patients. Perhaps you could share your data with the health ministry so that we can monitor her vital signs?" (Reply: Quinna) "It will be much appreciated. If you have need of anything that I might be able to supply you can get in touch with me through the health ministry. They will be able to contact me directly." (Reply: Quinna) "Thank you doctor.

Patience had never been a strong suit before joining the seminary. It was a learnt technique, the ability to still the mind and learn to hear the prophets. Listen to their guidance and act upon it. Of course Janus had never spoken directly with them. Their guidance always came via The Master. He sat in the dark, legs crossed uncomfortably and patiently waited for his quarry. They needed their sacrificial lamb and The Master would not condone the loss of the Bajoran lives. The interlopers, the star walkers would be here soon. Unable to keep themselves from interfering with the prophets plans. They would be the ones to help Janus and his Master to initiate the chaos that was needed to right the world and uncover the evil plans that were afoot. A beam of light, faint as it was, entered his reality. The prophets showing his lambs to their end. Two multi-coloured fully uniformed officers appeared in the tunnel. Janus watched them eagerly from the shadows, he daren?t move. It took them a few moments to discover his holy siphon. The device delivered to him via his master from the prophets, would deliver their wrath upon those who touched it. He looked forward to seeing it, it would be to see the face of a Prophet directly. Moments more passed, before the officers made a sudden move away from the device. Too late. A surge of light arced from the middle of the metallic device and struck the man square in back and shone through him as he knocked the blue one to the ground. There was no sound as the man?s life force was transferred to the holy prophets who had smote him. Moving quickly, Janus leapt forward, his focus solely on the blue woman lying on the ground with blood trickling from her forehead. He groaned as his legs, not used to the strain creaked as he lifted her after disposing of the comm badge, bag and sensors. Now with the officer on his back he began jogging back into the dark. Lamb now on his back and almost ready for the most important morning in Bajoran history. The morning which would change the direction of all their lives.

She had began to resent that Paul had requested her specifically for this outing about an hour into it. It had now been over four hours to traipsing around the city block with a grumpy engineer and a mute security officer. She should have been helping back on the ship or in the Temple. There were legitimately unhealthy people to be looking after and because she couldn?t say no to him, she was stuck here in the dark and the cold. Taya and Paul had been down in the underground for around 5 minutes. 5 minutes was all Paul had given the chief Engineer, so she?d hoped they?d be on their way back soon. Another 5 minutes passed and she noticed that Alec- the other Security Officer had now returned and he wasn?t alone. The ship had sent another three security officers after he?d reported in. ?Where are they?? He asked. She nodded to the hole in the ground. ?Of course. Down we go. Stay here.? He said as three of them climbed down and the fourth stayed guard with Kathy. Another moment passed and just as she was about to ask the man whether he thought they?d be staying for much longer she heard the sound that would haunt her for the rest of her days. ?MEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIC.? Came the scream from the hole. Without a second thought, she dived onto the ladder and scrambled down it as quickly as she could. ?Where?? She asked anxiously as she made it to the bottom of the ladder. ?Over here.? Alec was knelt. She rushed up and fell to her knees. Paul was lying there on his side. It took but a second for Kathy to comprehend that there was nothing to be done. A large dark hole had been crafting in his chest. Her breath left her and then she screamed. Paul Kirby was dead. She loved him and he was no more. Tears were streaming down her face. There was nothing she could do. Alec stood back up and the two security officers began moving in opposite directions to lock down the area. But she heard none of it. She tried to focus her eyes on his face, a bemused look of surprise etched onto it forever, but her eyes kept darting back to the massive hole in his chest. The weapon had carved through his entire body, leaving a perfect circle. ?We need to move.? Alex said to her as he knelt down. ?I won?t leave him.? She whispered. ?Neither will I. But we need to move.? There was urgency in his voice which helped focus her. ?This isn?t natural. Not right.? He said panic creeping in, ?Taya is missing. Whoever did this could come back.? She nodded and stood up. As she did, she noticed the device on the wall, the lights on the side of it flashing, indicating a recharge. ?MOVE.? She screamed. They pulled Paul's body along with them back to the ladder, keeping their eyes on the glowing device the entire time. What felt like hours passed. Eventually they were back above ground. Alec left Kathy with Paul?s body and the security officer which had stood guard up top and sprinted to the edge of the alleyway to report in.

Sienna Williams-Verin From: kelesiadesign at gmail.com (Melinda Gatling) Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 01:49:43 -0500 Mission: The Root of Decay Day: 18 Stardate: 2445.09.18 (USS Illuminar - Deck 1, Bridge ?FO Lt. Sienna Williams-Verin -2154) Sienna had been sitting on the bridge, the bio map readings on the main view screen and also on the one that unfolded from the Captain's chair. She was in a state of readiness that she had never really felt before. Over the last several hours, science and ops had integrated the sensors, the probes and the bio data from the comm badges. Sienna had a fishy feeling in the pit of her stomach for the last several hours, then sat up as one of the dots she had been following just..disappeared. Two others were flickering, and Sy spat out orders before she could think, "Who did we lose, and whose life signs are flickering? Ops, Science, give me answers." Sy hit her comm badge next, giving time for the others to figure out the who of the situation, "Bridge to Sickbay, I believe we have incoming wounded, please stand by to receive." Sienna blinked slowly. Taya? Something had happened to Taya and her security team? Sy's brain was working in overdrive. "Bridge to Transporter Room 1 - lock onto the comm badges of Ensign Taya's team and beam all three remaining signals to sickbay, including the dead body." Sy bit her bottom lip, the bad habit she had when she was nervous. She turned towards the crew member at the science station, her dark betazoid eyes flashing, "Find Taya. She's the only andorian on that planet I would bet." Sienna took a deep steadying breath, and hit her comm badge again, "Sickbay report in at your earliest convenience." She closed that circuit and opened a new one, "Commander Sekal, this is Lt. Verin. There appears to have been some incident and Ensign Taya is missing, presumed dead. A member of her security team is dead and the others are in sickbay being evaluated. I suggest raising the security level on our teams, Sir." Sienna added silently, ~And getting you back here where you belong, you idiot Vulcan.~ Sy waited for news. Sometimes she wondered why the job of First Officer was 99% boredom and waiting and 1% adrenaline junkie. She certainly felt it right now.

Ensign Dieter Gregory -2156) All ship systems were nominal, but the work that went with running a starship never did.Gregory was looking through the repair requests that were coming through Engineering.Mostly minor annoyances, not real emergencies so no need to jump on them immediately. The First Officer barked out ? ?Who did we lose, and whose life signs are flickering?Ops, Science, give me answers.? Gregory cleared his screen and adjusted power to the sensors.?Ma?am, there is some sort of Energy field in the area distorting our signals.I?ve routed additional power to the sensors.Science, I am working on reducing the interference on the delta bands.? (Reply science) While science worked on the identifications, Gregory started additional analysis of the interference himself. ?(USS Illuminar - Deck 1, Bridge ?Ops ?

(Reply Science) ?(USS Illuminar - Deck 1, Bridge ?Ops ? Ensign Dieter Gregory -2201) The two stations worked together, Gregory called out, ?That?s it, science.Sending coordinates to transporter now.? Holding his breath, Gregory waited for the call from the Transporter room. =^= Bridge, we have lock, transporting four to the sickbay. =^= ?Sickbay report in at your earliest convenience," the Lieutenant called out.
