Host CNS_Savar says:
::Walks out of the Captain's Ready Room.  He knows he has to take Keely Calahan to see Vulcan High Masters to help her... it's the best way he can think to take care of the situation::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::In her quarters, finishing up a little packing for her trip.. Klingon Homeworld to.. take care of things, and Vulcan, to get Chris's mother and Chris off her back::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Walks through the station to Keely's quarters.  Arriving, he steps towards the door, triggering the door chime::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::jumps at the chime, and opens her mind to see who it is....damn....counselor...:: Door: Come in.
Host CNS_Savar says:
::The door opens and Savar steps through.  The door closes behind him before he talks:: MO: Good day, Doctor.  Did I surprise you?
Host MO_Calahan says:
::calls from the back room.....:: CNS: No...not really....I figured I"d be seeing you soon.  Did you bring security to throw me in the Brig? ::slightly sarcastic, but a more bored and depressed sounding voice::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: No, no security.  But I have another idea.  ::Walks further into quarters:: MO: Have you ever been to Vulcan?  ::sighs...just what she needed.......::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::turns around to face the counselor.....her expression.....depressed....:: CNS: Yes, I have counselor.  Horribly dull planet.  Awfully dry too. ::brushes past him to continue packing::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: I think it might be best for you to take another trip there.  I think talking to your masters again may help you regain control.  The Captain and I have talked.  I will accompany you to Vulcan
Host MO_Calahan says:
::spins around, her eyes wide....damn again....:: CNS: What?! I was going anyway......I don't need a baby-sitter!
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: You have recently shown yourself to be psychologically unstable.  I feel it will be best if I accompany you.
Host MO_Calahan says:
CNS: Why? Think I might kill someone? ::feels slightly sick all of the sudden...either from trying to eat again, or the realization that is what she planned to do...::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::turns back around slowly, and leans forward, bracing herself with her arms on the chair there, her head down....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: I don't know what you're going to do.  But I think it would be best if you had company.  I should also point out that Dr. Utoo and myself are aware of your... medical condition.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::sighs, she doesn't feel like arguing....she feels like giving up...completely....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: I have a runabout standing by, along with clearance.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::that's it.....whirls back around, looking the CNS in his eyes...she starts walking forward....:: CNS: You think I care? I have been living like this for nearly 5 years now.....It’s my lifestyle.  If I eat I get sick.  So I don't see any reason to try......okay? So you  may as well get used to it.  ::adds, quieter...::CNS: Everyone else in my past has.
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: Well, if you hadn't noticed, I'm not much like those in your past.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::nods, her eyes slightly sad...:: CNS: Yes you are....but he's dead now.....he knew about Jepoth, and he tried to protect me....he was killed for it..... ::lowers her head, and walks past him, to her bed::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: Dr. Utoo and I are going to help you.  We're not going to give up just because you tell us to.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::sighs...right....when pigs fly....walks to her bed, and reaches up underneath her pillow....feels around for a second, then finds what she's looking for....:: CNS: If you say so, but you'll get frustrated...its happened....
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: Frustration is illogical.  I'd rather not argue further... I'm to accompany you to Vulcan.  I will need fifteen minutes to pack.  It would be very helpful to me if you were still here when I got back
Host MO_Calahan says:
::pulls out a dagger, and, without thinking, walks back towards the other room, holding it in her hand, and running her fingers along it.....habit....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Raises eyebrows at the dagger:: MO: Keely?
Host MO_Calahan says:
::looks confused.....:: CNS: You've never called me Keely before.....what?  ::looks concerned.....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: I believe you're mistaken.  I have called you Keely before.  I was simply going to ask you about the dagger you're holding, and to get your assurances that I would be able to come back here after packing and find you here ready to go.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow, and glances down at the dagger...:: CNS: Oh. This...sorry, I didn't know it bothered you.....::smirks, then tips her head down, and moves her hair, she reaches one hand back, then takes the hand with the dagger in it slowly up towards the back of her neck, it pointing down...........::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::angles the dagger, and slides it down...::
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: It always bothers me when you hold weapons.  Why do you have it?
Host MO_Calahan says:
::slides it easily into the neck of her dress, then raises her head and rolls her neck around a few times....much better....:: CNS: I always have at least one on me.
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: Because of your status of being hunted?
Host MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CNS: My status? You make it sound like a condition....
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: It is similar to a medical condition...  it does weaken you...  I will need to get packed.  Will you still be here fifteen minutes from now?
Host MO_Calahan says:
::rolls eyes...:: CNS: I'm impatient. You've got 10....and I'm being nice, so you'd better not argue.
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: And will you go with me without incident?
Host MO_Calahan says:
CNS: Perhaps....if you trust me a little more...I may have to save your butt, if you're going with me.
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: I do trust you.  I will return in ten minutes.
Host MO_Calahan says:
CNS: I have no doubt you will.
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Savar steps out of the door, and walks to his room, packing::

<<TIME WARP: 10 Minutes>>

Host CNS_Savar says:
::Savar steps up to Keely's door, carrying a medium sized duffle bag.  A tricorder and a phaser are on his belt.  A medical kit is in the bag, along with other necessities.  The door chime sounds::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::opens her eyes:: Door: Come in... ::stands, defensive..::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Walks in:: MO: I am ready.  I have secured us the runabout Nexia.  You are listed as pilot.  Clearances are already taken care of, as well.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::relaxes...:: CNS: Great. I'm ecstatic.  ::walks into the other room, and picks up her duffel bag, then looks at the counselor:: CNS: After you....
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Leads the doctor to the runabout pad with the Nexia::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::follows....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Motions with his arms:: MO: After you.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::steps into the runabout and drops her bag in its appropriate place....moves to the pilots' seat and sits down, beginning the systems powering up.......and begins the standard checks::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Walks into the runabout,, shutting the door.  He drops his bag off, and sits down in the copilot seat.::

ACTION: A button on the copilot's console has been preprogrammed to take control of the runabout and lock out the pilot console and any voice commands other than Counselor Savar's.

Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: When you have completed the checks, we may lift off.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::finishes up, and looks at the counselor...:: CNS: Ready?
Host CNS_Savar says:
MO: Lift off.  Heading to Vulcan.  Speed at your will.

ACTION: Arcadia responds to Keely's request for take off, acknowledging them and clearing a route.

Host MO_Calahan says:
::nods:: CNS: Setting course......speed is at Warp 3...::settles back into the pilot's chair, and stares out at the stars, remembering the last time she flew....::

<<Time Warp>>

ACTION: The Nexia arrives in orbit around Vulcan.  An incoming communication requests identification and destination.

Host CNS_Savar says:
::Walks out from a room in the rear section of the runabout where he was eating::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::responds, speaking in Vulcan.....for the hell of it....they receive permission to land, as well as a standard greeting from the person working the COMM::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::glances back at the counselor:: CNS: I"m ready to land, care to sit?
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Nods to Keely and sits down::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::rolls her eyes back to the controls with a bored expression......these are too easy to fly...and no fun....:: CNS: Very well then.

ACTION: The Nexia sets down a small distance from their destination: a Vulcan master's meditation retreat and monastery.

Host CNS_Savar says:
::Stands up and grabs his duffel.  He has changed to a Vulcan robe, but still wears a Starfleet belt underneath with a concealed phaser and tricorder::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::stands and grabs her duffel as well, noting the Counselor's change....humph....Vulcans....::  CNS: After you......Counselor....
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Savar walks over to the door.  Instantly, the dry heat of Vulcan enters the cabin... the counselor becomes more energetic almost...:: MO: It is only a short walk from here.
Host MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Vulcan....damn he's eager....::
Host CNS_Savar says:
::Savar begins walking, leading the way.  He walks with what appears to be no effort at all::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::walks after him, after sealing up the runabout, and stretches out her stride to catch up with him.....::
Host MO_Calahan says:
::glowers, crossing her arms::

ACTION: Savar and Keely approach the retreat.  Four figures stand watching their approach.  They make a diamond formation.  The man in front is a High Master by the name of Doran, an acquaintance of Savar, and his contact.  The figure to his left is a male, Sorot, one of the two High Masters who has worked with Keely before.  On the opposite side of the diamond stands a female High Master, T'Lynn, the other who has worked with Keely.  An aide makes up the quad.
