SNIP

It didn’t take long before Pretha palmed open Medical and led in Sural carrying the unconscious Reno. Seeing D’Vash, she sighed in relief and smiled slightly for him before addressing him in a more professional manner. Now was not the time for hugs, regardless how much she could use one. “Sir… Sural used the Vulcan neck pinch and he went down. The trouble is, he isn’t getting back up. He had been trying to open the pod. That’s why we sent it here.” Her mind remembering her orders as an edge of concern tinted her words, “It’s behind stasis, right?”

D’vash nodded to Pretha to acknowledge her question.

Sural stopped briefly as Pretha went around him to explain. As she did so the engineer’s eyes scanned about to find an open biobed to set Reno down on. Fortunately traffic was light at the moment and he located one nearby. Setting Reno down as gently as possible, he turned toward the action. The pod was still there as was Hanlon and a smattering of medical and Sathut. He stood quietly should they inquire about opening the pod and requested an engineer.

Vel’ten still medically monitored the patient.

Vel’ten CMO

OOC: Which patient?
IC:
Sural looked with impassive attention on to what was happening. Reno had been set down and ‘should’ be coming out of the neck pinch sooner than later, though he had no idea how all of this quite worked with the ‘being’. Logically it may not have even been him that put Reno out necessarily but the entity.
- Sural

((bump… XO? CMO? Anyone? We just brought in an unconscious body, there’s a pod Pretha doesn’t want open and a strange ‘entity’ speaking thru a crewman… lol))

Why was Reno trying to open it without the go ahead from either of you?” the XO asked in reference to Pretha and Sural. “I’m guessing there might be another entity in that pod, as well?”

Odinson (XO)

Sural’s brow rose. “Sir, I believe it was the same entity. On the tricorder that Reno had was a set of coordinates. Logically it is where the entity wishes us to go. I transmitted the coordinates to the bridge, though have the tricorder here as well.” He passed the unit to Odinson. “Additionally, as Reno was being rendered unconscious his eyes were .. black.” He did bypass the idea of another entity. One was sufficient for their trouble for the day.
- Sural

“Sir,” Pretha said to D’Vash. “I honestly think there is at least one, but no more than 2 entities here. And it’s possible the body in the body is one of theirs. I’m better if we go to the given coordinates, there’s a ship or planet there that can answer more questions than we can here.” She glanced at Reno’s body and shook her head. “He should have come out of it by now. Something is keeping him under.” She didn’t like the idea that in shocking Reno’s system into passing out, they may have harmed the entity and its the one that was hurt now and keeping Reno from waking.

Pretha
CoS

OOC: where is our GM?
- Miriam

The XO took the tricorder and searched the co-ordinates. “A desert planet. . . .barely habitable. . . “
He continued to search and see if there was any sentient life on the planet.

“I’d be just as happy to let him/it/them be realeased on that planet as long as they’re no danger to anyone else, but that planet has to have some significance. . .I’d also like to know what they were doing with Lt. Hanlon and whoever is in that pod. Hell, they might be from the Neptune, as well. . . .though the configuration is different. . . .”

Odinson (XO)

Hanlon spoke again. “Commander D’Vash Odinson. Concern yourself with saving your crew. Do as instructed, and they will live.” the ancient crewman’s eyes returned to normal. “He’s here. I thought he was dead-“

-Matrix

=^=LT Sural, The coordinates provided show an habitable desert plant. Although it’s not a place I would consider a vacation spot. What planet is this?=^= Came the Captains voice over the comm.

-CO

=^= These are the coordinates that the … entity … provided as our intended destination, Sir. =^= Sural replied. A desert world was not ‘that’ bad, and Sural raised a brow in thought around that and wondered how close to Vulcan it was. Still, not for the first time, Sural wondered whether the intended destination was for the entity or for them.
- Sural

=^=Understood, We will check it out, Hamilcar out.=^=

Pretha’s hand went to her phaser as the ‘being’ spoke again then Hanlon was himself once more. The black color of his eyes had receded and he looked normal. Looking to D’Vash, she nodded once. “We need to go. But we need to be careful.” She didn’t realize her mind was in the same place Sural’s was. “I don’t want to become the new inhabitants of the planet like you all described.”

The idea that the Olympic could be hijacked by the entities and the crewman stranded, scared the hell out of her. The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

The XO’s eyebrow went up in a Vulcan-like manner. The entity spoke directly to him and addressed him by name. Strange, he thought, if the entity could jump from on body to another, why didn’t it take control of him and share the . . .threat? directly?

He didn’t like threats, especially at the expense of his crew. Before he could respond to the entity, Hanlon was back.

“Alright Lieutenant, I’ve been patient with you until now, but now this ship and crew has been threatened. You need to start talking., NOW. Who’s here? Who was supposed to be dead?”

Odinson (XO)

“I don’t know who he is. He… it… I don’t know. All I know is that there was a voice. And it spoke through the crew. I thought he died before I jettisoned from the Neptune. Some sort of sonic… something.” Hanlon looked genuinely worried and willing to help. If he could.

-Matrix

Pretha had an idea. She took off her phaser and handed it towards D’Vash. “Trust me…” she said softly. If he didn’t take it, she’d set it on a nearby surface out of Hanlon’s reach.

She looked at D’Vash a moment longer, her look one that he knew well enough was for him. Breaking the gaze, she moved closer to Hanlon and rested a hand on his arm. “Can you control the entity at all? Get it to answer you when you want it? Or communicate with it in any way?” She glanced at the XO once more as she finished. “I want it to come into me.” She looked back at Hanlon. “I want it to stay in me long enough so we can find out what needs to be done and why.”

She shook her head and smiled softly. “We don’t mean it, or his kind any harm. But we need their help to understand what is happening.” She didn’t know if it would work, but she had to try. Body jumping and one sentence demands weren’t going to convince anyone that they needed to go to a desolate planet in the middle of deep space. People on this ship had to be her first priority.

Sural’s brow rose, the closest to an expression of surprise that he might muster. The entity had given them instructions - brief with little elaboration. It was, to him, an example of brevity, though it was short on background. “How did the Neptune perish?” he asked Hanlon. “How did the voice come to be on your ship?” The Vulcan was working out probabilities based on what he knew and what he could surmise through logical extrapolation. Unfortunately Starfleet did not have a very positive track record with respect to disembodied entities. It certainly was not a Q; Q could not have maintained its ‘cover’ that long. It was far too capricious to maintain silence this long.

A moment later, the computer showed that the ship had gone to yellow alert.
