A mystical artefact

[Peter Svensson]

"You may file any protest you like, Mr. Embries, but you'll see it will do little good. I work above Starfleet regulations, and besides my name, that's all you need to know about me. I am Svensson, Peter Svensson. And if we are to determine what this artefact is, I suggest we all work together indeed, is that clear? So, Mr. Enoch, what have you found out so far?"

[Emrodel]

*Emrodel is concentrating on Enoch and the woman he is speaking with.  Using her mental powers she is able to gather a little more information.*

"Not exactly old one.  There were a few others involved with the crystal being here.  She should be questioned for details on where she gained possession of it."

*Embries is able to faintly sense the energy that Emrodel is using.  However, she is careful to protect herself from his mental probing.*

[Enoch]

*Enoch rolls his eyes and sighs.*
"If I had known this, I'd never have accepted to 'guard' that crystal! Computer, lock all exits. Nobody's leaving until we find the crystal!"
Computer: "All exits of this room are locked."
"Good. Computer, scan this room for any Klingon lifesigns."
Computer: "There are two Klingon lifesigns in this room."
"TWO?"
*He starts looking around.*

[Enoch]

"Ahh, good thinking, ma'am."
*He walks up to Zayan.*
"Welcome to Camelot Medieval Store. How can I be of help? Looking for something in particular, or maybe you haven't decided yet? Feel free to look around, and maybe you'll find something you never knew you wanted!"

[Enoch]

"Hide? Me?"
*Enoch looks around in confusion, then puts his hand on his chest as if he just discovered himself standing there.*
"Oh, no... no, no no... not at all! I just covered this stone because it's so ugly, I don't even want it to be seen in my store. It would compromise my good name as merchant of quality products. Now, is there anything else I can help you with?"
*Enoch smiles innocently.*

[Enoch]

*Enoch quickly hurries to Avelsa, in an attempt to distract her attention from the conversation at hand.*
"Welcome, ma'am, into my store. Is there anything I can help you with? Remember, if we don't have it, surely we can find someone who does!"

[Zayan]

*Zayan exits the turbolift.  She follows the directions given by the computer.  Zayan approaches a shop with a LARGE sign written in an old medieval style.  It reads, 'CAMELOT MEDIEVAL STORE'.  She sees that the doors of the shop are closed, but there are several people inside talking in a group.  Not one to wait long for answers, Zayan walks through the doors.*

"Excuse me, I assume this shop is open.  I am looking for a person by the name Enoch, is he here?"

[Vorlok]

Mr enoch sir *while gentling bouncing the tiny ball again* Vorak said I had to stay here http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.   So you can't close the shop and leave me for here coz I might get into mischief. *gives a slight mocking smile* sorry to spoil your lunch date http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Enoch]

*Enoch helps Embries toward a chair, and gets him a glass of water from the nearby replicator.*
"What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Did the stone do anything to you?"

[Enoch]

*Enoch returns to his store, and reopens it. Turning on the lights, he makes sure that everything is clean. Then, at last, his attention turns back to the crystal. He takes it out of the box, and carefully puts it on the counter, as he begins examining it.*
"Hermes, scan the crystal artefact for recognisable particles."

[Vorlok]

*stands there wide eyed*

[Sarnae]

Sarnae jumps at the sound of a crash. She peers behind her and sees a boy staring back at her. She blinks and ducks behind a table to move over to him.

"Shhhh!" she grrrrs at him "keep quiet".

[Embries]

"Allow me..."
*He flips open his tricorder and begins to scan the room.*
"This will be faster."
*Suddenly, the tricorder beeps when Embries holds it in a certain direction, near a dark corner with piles of boxes.*
"I think I found them..."
*He glimpes over the pile of boxes, and sees a slight movement as Vorlok and Sarnae attempt to crawl away further to avoid being seen.*
"All right, come out of there... both of you. No need to pretend you're not here, I've seen you."

[Enoch]

"You're welcome, and I promise to contact you."
*Enoch raises his voice to answer Sanchez, while the captain was already walking out the store. He smiles as he sees Sanchez disappear in the crowd on the promenade, and then turns his gaze back to the box on his counter.*
"Computer, dim lights and lock door."
Computer: "Acknowledged."
*Carefully, Enoch opens the box again and unwraps the crystal, confident that nobody would notice him now that he had dimmed the lights. But to his surprise, rays of colorful light beamed off the crystal, illuminating half his store.*
"What in the name of the gods... is THAT?"
*Quickly, he grabs a holocamera and takes some pictures of the stone, from all different angles.*
"This is definitely going to interest someone..."
*He puts the camera next to his computer console, and begins wrapping up the stone once more.*
"Computer, download new images into the computer terminal."
Computer: "Working... Download complete."
*After putting the stone in the box, and placing the box safe behind the counter, out of sight, he turns to his computer terminal and switches it on.*
"Establish a secure link, Enoch Alpha Secunda 41 Beta."
Computer: "Working, stand by."

[Enoch]

*Enoch's eyes widen as he sees the crystal, as Sanchez opens the box. For a moment, he is speechless.*
"I... I have never seen anything like this before. Magnificent! Where did you find this?"
