(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: *** RECAP ***
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: The crew has been reunited aboard the Lady Luck.
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: Ken and Raith are not up to 100% from their ordeals
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: but have returned to light duties.
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: The ship is in orbit above the crash site of the alien
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: ship.
(08:16:13 PM) anlarye: *** END RECAP ***
(08:17:03 PM) papaganoush [~papaganoush@OWIRCN-accb3152.abhsia.telus.net] entered the room.
(08:20:17 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih makes another attempted scan at the crash site ::
(08:24:26 PM) ***Ken scans the alliance database for references to Z'aretti or Daylese
(08:26:16 PM) ***Sathara sits down on her bunk to clean her guns and think a minute.
(08:31:35 PM) ***DrCross inventories his supplies *again*
(08:31:50 PM) ***Ken access the Klade ship database searching for the same references
(08:36:49 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "Radiation levels are very high at the crash site. Still cannot get an accurate scan. I think we should check out the sites they were nuking from orbit."
(08:37:28 PM) ***Sathara appears on the bridge, not visibly armed any more.
(08:37:39 PM) Sathara: "Very well, Jaieh, sounds like a plan."
(08:37:42 PM) ***DrCross joins Sathara
(08:37:50 PM) Ken: "Cap, if I remember correctly from my brief interface. That was a Z'aretti mothership, only a few hundred crew left after generations of war with the Daylese
(08:37:53 PM) Ken: "
(08:40:44 PM) anlarye: :: Raith :: "What else was going on?"
(08:42:43 PM) Ken: "their crew was insufficient to maintain the ship and when I accessed the computer, the ICE attaccked me and something happened, I breifly connected to the ship or merged with it. I think the ship ai lost station keeping functions."
(08:48:58 PM) Ken: "It is possible that the Daylese are the Klade... The Klade list he Z'aretti as a race they enslaved centuries ago. They believe them to be extinct."
(08:49:19 PM) Ken: :: sadly :: "Guess they are now."
(08:50:56 PM) Sathara: "Thanks, Ken. Jaeih, what are you getting, checking the sites they were destroying from orbit?"
(08:52:19 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: " Yes. Moving towards the other moons now. "
(08:52:45 PM) Sathara: "Are you getting anything from the readings?"
(08:53:27 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "Once we get there ..."
(08:54:07 PM) Sathara: "Once we get where?"
(08:54:45 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "Yes in orbit around the other moons."
(08:55:23 PM) Sathara: "Oh, okay."
(08:57:25 PM) DrCross: "Uh, I'm curious... Why? What are we planning to do?"
(09:00:11 PM) Ken: "Might be interesting to know if the Daylese and Klade are one and the same. Also the Z'aretti and Klade are NOT natives of this galaxy."
(09:01:16 PM) ***DrCross gives the Captain and Ken a quick scan
(09:03:17 PM) DrCross: "Ah ok, Ken... and you seem to be recovering well"
(09:04:54 PM) Ken: "Don't patronize me!" ::wipes at his eyes and shows the fresh blood:: "You want to run a full scan?"
(09:05:32 PM) ***Sathara looks alarmed at Ken's outburst.
(09:05:37 PM) DrCross: "Of course! You shouldn't even be in here, Ken"
(09:06:16 PM) ***Ken shows the Doc and Sathara the Klade data entry on the Z'aretti
(09:06:24 PM) anlarye: :: Raith :: "not natives .... " :: his voice trails and he collapes ::
(09:06:53 PM) ***Sathara looks over Ken's shoulder at the entry, until she hears Raith's voice trail off. "Holy shit, cap'n!"
(09:06:55 PM) Ken: "Cap!"
(09:07:22 PM) ***Sathara runs over to Raith and manages to keep him from hitting his head on the floor.
(09:07:45 PM) Sathara: "Jaeih, help me get him to sickbay."
(09:07:53 PM) ***DrCross moves quickly to the Captain "Hey!"
(09:08:11 PM) Sathara: "Doc, you go ahead to sickbay and get a bunk ready for him."
(09:08:23 PM) anlarye: !! Jaeih is piloting the ship
(09:08:30 PM) DrCross: "Aye aye"
(09:08:56 PM) Ken: "I will help, I may be brain damaged but physically I am okay."
(09:09:20 PM) Sathara: "Never mind, Jaeih, you stay here and steer. Doc, you help me get the cap'n to sickbay, Ken, you go get a bunk ready."
(09:09:44 PM) Ken: "Aye"
(09:09:51 PM) ***DrCross nods, looks at Ken "Take it easy, man"
(09:10:18 PM) ***Ken heads back to medbay and readies a bunk for the Captain and himself.
(09:11:04 PM) DrCross: *Once at Medbay, DrCross hooks up the Captain to the scanners
(09:14:39 PM) DrCross: "Fatigue and other factors have caught up with our adventurous captain, it seems"
(09:14:54 PM) Sathara: "Is he gonna be okay, Doc?'
(09:15:00 PM) Sathara: "
(09:15:28 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "I'm taking us down, hang on for some chop as we enter the atmosphere"
(09:15:40 PM) DrCross: "He'll be fine, Sathara, he just needs some rest..."
(09:15:45 PM) Sathara: "Where are you taking us down to, Jaeih?"
(09:15:45 PM) ***Ken lies down on the other bunk
(09:16:38 PM) ***Sathara sighs in some relief. "Thank the gods. I assume you're going to give him something to keep him out for a while to MAKE his stubborn ass rest?"
(09:16:59 PM) DrCross: "And as acting commander, Sathara, you should rein-in our equally adventurous pilot too"
(09:17:19 PM) ***DrCross checks Ken
(09:17:23 PM) Sathara: "Yeah, I'm a little curious as to where she's decided to land us."
(09:17:44 PM) ***Sathara returns to the bridge to ask Jaeih again where the hell she's decided to land the Lady Luck.
(09:20:09 PM) DrCross: "Ken, how are you feeling?"
(09:20:39 PM) Ken: "sad and tired, and my head feels... off."
(09:21:24 PM) Ken: "I was bleeding from my eyes Doc that can't be good."
(09:22:10 PM) DrCross: "You'll be alright... If you do lose your eyesight, I can clone a pair for you quick"
(09:22:23 PM) ***Ken nods
(09:22:58 PM) DrCross: "But, what I want to know more is... what happended to you"
(09:25:30 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "This is the 2nd moon that the aliens were nuking. The radiation levels are within levels that our suits can provide protection for several hours. There is the remains of a structure here."
(09:29:20 PM) Ken: "When I tried to access the alien computer, the ICE attacked me, ahh antibodies to defend against intrusion, I barely survived by walling off the virtual area. I think what happened is my autonomic system controlled the ship and as I fought to get control back and communicate the ship did what I thought or dreamed."
(09:30:13 PM) ***Ken suddenly breaks down sobbing.
(09:31:06 PM) Ken: "I.. Killed.. them all!"
(09:31:45 PM) DrCross: "Stop that please. You're only making your eyes worse"
(09:32:41 PM) Sathara: "Jaeih, what the frak? The cap'n is out, the engineer is down, we need to be somewhere safe while we recover from that."
(09:32:50 PM) ***Ken wipes at his eyes.
(09:32:54 PM) Ken: "Ok Doc"
(09:32:58 PM) DrCross: "I think your instincts just kicked in"
(09:33:19 PM) Ken: "Are you sure nothing is wrong. I am not prone to outbursts like this."
(09:33:48 PM) DrCross: "Thats why you need to be in here... for further observation"
(09:34:07 PM) ***Ken nods
(09:35:12 PM) DrCross: "You were showing us a datapad earlier?"
(09:36:55 PM) Ken: "I learned a little while I was.. merged.. with the ship. The crew are, were, Z'aretti. They are the descendants of the original crew from generations ago, they were at war with the daylese."
(09:37:13 PM) papaganoush left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(09:37:39 PM) Ken: I was searching the Alliance database for refernces to either race and nothing. However the Klade database has an entry on the Z'aretti."
(09:38:29 PM) ***DrCross applies some liquid drops on Ken's eyes "This will help heal your vision"
(09:38:40 PM) Ken: "The entry states that they are a human race encountered and enslaved in the Klade's home galaxy when they were in their dark years of conquest. they are listed as extinct."
(09:39:03 PM) ***Ken blinks "Thanks Doc"
(09:39:20 PM) anlarye: :: the ship shakes a bit as it lands on the surface the moon and Jaeih comes out of the cockpit :: "We are set down"
(09:39:54 PM) ***DrCross nods "Interesting... go on..."
(09:40:42 PM) Sathara: "Okay, we're set down, but we're not going anywhere until we're at full strength again, or at least until the cap'n's conscious and moving about semi-normally."
(09:41:58 PM) anlarye: :: Jaeih :: "I can run a few scans of the ruins here. The target and try to piece it together."
(09:42:22 PM) Sathara: "That sounds fine, Jaeih. Go ahead and do that."
(09:42:49 PM) ***DrCross comms the bridge "I should think so... we are not in the position to go exploring anywhere"
(09:45:04 PM) Sathara: "No, Doc, we're staying put at least until Cap'n Raith is conscious again."
(09:46:43 PM) DrCross: "I concur"
(09:47:03 PM) Sathara: "But Jaeih can run her scans. There's no real good reason she shouldn't."
