=/\= Living Dream Hotel =/\= After their talk with XO, Alex and Terek went back to their quaters each deep in their thoughts. Later Alex went away saying something about swimming, but Terek couldn't stop thinking that something isn't as it should be. In that moment he rememberes the tricorder in his bag and padd with frequencies. It completely vanished from his consciousness the moment he came aboard. Strenge thing, as he usually remembered things quite well. Reaching for his bag in the closet, he took out the tricorder and decided to do some 'research' around. He left his quaters programming tricorder for permanent scan on those frequencies and wandered along the corridors. He tried to get near some engineering facilities, but turbolifts reported that authorisation of the hotelmaster is requiered so he decided to pay visit to this person and after a few moments in a cabine, the lift spit him out on the promenade and the voice saying that hotelmaster office is somewhere here. Not specifying the location, Terek walked to the reception desk which he saw at the end of the hallway to which few airlocks mouthed. Pacing uickly around them he firstly hadn't realized what stoke him a moment later. A man voice, loudly shouting "GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY!!!!" He didn't see who it was, but sound was so weird in this place where eveyone seemed so happy, that he returned a few meters back through the corridor to see what is going on. As he walked to the airlock from which the shouting came, he saw, their backs on him woman and two children and in front of them, hiden to his sight was figure of man. Only thing he realized suddenly was that those airlocks leads to the Chimera. "What is going on here?" He asked approaching the group. Jason gripped the tricorder with all his might focusing on it as if his very life depended on the small device that was in 2 parts when he heard a new voice behind him, He turned ignoring the woman claiming to be his wife and the children and saw Terek one of the Chimera sceince officers "Lieutenant please Help me" He pleaded to the man whom he hadn't ever met before "Please" His voice was strained..... Comming closer, Terek saw that man who was screaming was one of the engineers from Chimera. "Lieutenant Stephens, are you all right, who are those people?" Jasons eyes widened "No No their not real they can't be real their dead they can't be here" He muttered just loaud enough for Terek to hear "You must help me you must!" He looked directly at Terek "Please help me" Looking at the desperate face of the Stephens, a suspicion grew bigger in Terek, more than before, that something here isn't OK. He put out his tricorder and with the woman and children standing in front of them, despite how strangely it looked like, he scaned them. After the results were shown on the display, there could be no doubt. Those persons weren't real in a true word of saying. More like a very sophisticated simulation, or somethin like a 'doll' with personality. "Calm down lieutenant, I can assure you, they are not halucinations, but, neither humans." he kneeled down to one of the children "Hello, little one, what's your name?" "Kim" "All right Kim, can you tell me why are you here?" "We are here to see dad" answered kid politely. {Interesting... they are not aware that they are imitations} He turned back on Jason. "This is really strange lieutenant, we should get on board the Chimera and check it Jason looked at the child 'Kim' she did look just as he remembered her it took so much will power not to lift her on to his shoulders like he had done the last time he had seen her, He pushed the thought from his mind and turned to Terek "I have tried but i can't get aboard i was trying to reconfigure my tricorder when they appeared" he said calming slightly but not a lot "Its as though someone is trying to stop me from getting on board" He motioned to the engineering kit resting on the floor beside him "Everytime i attempt to walk back onto the ship i find myself back here" jason pushed the tricorder back into one peice "I was trying to cut through what ever is jamming my tricorder and interface with the computer and beam myself aboard" Rubbing his chin, thinking, Terek stared at the Jason's family. {This must be really hard for him, to see them alive..... damn, why would those 'asgards' be doing that?} "So you say, that it is impossible to get back on the ship, right?" asked Terek a rethorical question and just for sure he tried for himself, of course getting out on the same place he entered. "Well if we are to solve it, then this is the worst place. Everyone can see us here and I doubt our 'hosts' would enjoy the view on the two starfleet officers who disliked the hotel so suddenly." Jason nodded slowly "I have to get off this station now" he announced rather sharply "I feeling like i'm losing my mind, If i don't get off i'm scared i'll hurt someone" He looked at Terek a deadly serious look in his eyes "I know and trust me, I'm beginning to despise this place every moment I spend here, but try to calm down a bit and think. If you'll stay right here, trying to get aboard the Chimera, you'll probably just end up locked somewhere or brainwashed, or anything those gray goblins are capable of." said terek with serious look, trying to take Jason back to his senses. "I'm going to help you to get back home..." Jason stood having closed his engineering kit and replaced the tricorder on his hip, He picked up both the engineering kit and the heavy bag "I have an idea but i'll need Hawks help" He said looking at the bag in his hand a slightly evil glint in his eyes "If they won't let us off this place willingly we will just have to force them to release us" "Then let's find him and get out of here. I'm feeling almost sick of how everyone seems happy here." Then as they walked away, he tried to contact Alex with his comm badge, but she didn't respond, so he said to Jason "And I'm afraid that we have to be quick or we'll end up like the rest of the crew." Jason nodded "Oh this will not be easy it'll involve a little bit of breaking and entering but if we can get Hawk and get to the Stations power core i think we may just have a chance" He said moving a bit faster leaving the woman and 2 children behind {That is big IF...} thought Terek, but they had to at least try. "OK, I'm going to try to find Alex and see what has happened to her, I'll be on line, let me know when you'll need anything." Jason nodded "Its better if we don't all go in together if we fail someone will need to try again see if you can find any other members of the crew who are not brain washed i have a feeling we need as much help as we can get" He stated already turning towards the main section of the station Jason watched Terek go and placed a bag on the ground and opened his tricorder The search for Hawk was on....
