OPS_Eldad says:
::Glances at his console as a blink in the lights catches his eyes, he changes the screen and nods:: CO: Captain, he Vulcan Delegation leader, S'Kona, is requesting a private conference with you. He says it's urgent, Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the Officer's lounge and stands by the door:: Vulcans: Excuse me, but everyone must return to their quarters immediately.  A situation has arisen and the Captain wants all of you confined to quarters for your protection.  Please follow my security officers.  They will escort you back to your quarters.  ::Motions to the Security officers::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Just had to make corrections for minor changes to the  Gravimetric densities

CTO_Ryan says:
Computer: Computer, locate Shinar.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::stays in the Science console spot, monitoring data and whenever a crewman approaches too much, shifting the console view to something else::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances back at Eldad:: OPS: I don't care is S'kona wants to turn the Stone of Gol over to me, nobody gets a private audience today.

CNS_Richardson says:
::arrives at the Officers' Lounge, just after the security teams, and begins reassuring the Vulcans::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Computer> CTO: Designate Shinar is located in his quarters.

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: But sir, he insists..

Host CO_Madred says:
::wants forward and leans over O'Rourke, eyeing the flight controls:: FCO: Why did the gravity become more dense?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns and exits the Lounge headed for Shinar's quarters:::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glares back at Eldad and then looks at Amendoeira:: XO: Take care of it.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::rolls eyes:: CO : Aye sir... ::locks the station so that the data he was looking at is locked out, and heads to the nearest TL::

Host S`Kona says:
CNS: Counselor, I have already informed the bridge, but I must speak with your Commanding Officer. It is of the utmost importance.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Things are always changing slightly , as stars decay , or  become more compact , or any of a number of things, that is why we have people flying and not just computers running preprogrammed courses

OPS_Eldad says:
CO,XO: Sirs, it's regarding our current mission, something only you and the Captain can know.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Tell Mr. S'Kona I’ll be meeting him in the Observation Lounge.. Have the security crew escort him there..

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stops at Shinar's quarters and taps in her security code::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::enters the TL:: Observation Lounge::

Host CO_Madred says:
::smiles at the FCO:: FCO: I realize that, Lieutenant ... so nothing abnormal about it, is what I mean.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters Shinar's quarters:: Shinar: Come with me.

CNS_Richardson says:
::moves to S'Kona::  S'Kona:  This is an unusual circumstance; these orders are to ensure your safety.  Please, cooperate with the security officers, and we'll arrange a meeting with you and the captain at the earliest opportunity.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: It looks well within normal ranges, sir

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> ::Fumbling around his dirty quarters:: CTO: Hum, what for?

MO_Kru says:
::Looks over the PADD left by the CMO to insure nothing is forgotten::

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Sir, he says you really should join the meeting.

Host S`Kona says:
CNS: The earliest opportunity may be too late.

CTO_Ryan says:
Shinar: You are being placed in the Brig, Captain's orders, now drop those dirty whatever they are and come with me.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: FCO: Understood ... ETA to Madtion/Leopold?

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> CTO: On what grounds?

CNS_Richardson says:
S'Kona:  Please; the captain is occupied at the moment.  I'm sure he'll speak with you as soon as possible.  I will make sure he gets that message.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO:: checks calculations:: 12 Hours, sir

OPS_Eldad says:
::Sighs, he turns back to his consoles and informs S'Kona and a security detail::

Host S`Kona says:
::If a Vulcan could roll his eyes ...:: CNS: I see.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::reaches the OL::

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns, surprised they even picked up Omega this far out:: FCO: Let's see if we can't trim some time off that, okay.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Waves her hand in front of her face:: Shinar: Geeze...don't you ever clean up around here?  We do not need "grounds" to lock you up.  It's for your own protection, now come on.  ::Grabs him by the arm and yanks him out of his quarters::

CNS_Richardson says:
::overhears the incoming message to S'Kona, and smiles::  S'Kona: There; the Executive is coming to speak with you.  I'm sure he'll be able to address your concerns.

MO_Kru says:
::Purses lips and frowns:: Self: I really don't think he wants me to waste my time on that. ::erases requirement to check biofilters::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: If I can , sir, but It is pretty optimized

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns and heads back towards the center seat and takes a moment to take in the officers at their stations::

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> CTO: My own protection? That's a load of it ... jus' wait 'til the Council hears about this one ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*OPS* : Lt. Where is Mr. S'Kona?

Host S`Kona says:
::Approaches the XO:: XO: Commander Amendoeira.

CNS_Richardson says:
::moves with S'Kona::

CTO_Ryan says:
Shinar: Just shut up and come with me.  ::Pulls him into the turbolift::  Computer: Brig.

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> ::Is pulled along::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Glances around the bridge, he sighs::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns around and spot S'Kona:: S'Kona : Ahh.. Mr. S'Kona.. Tell me, what was so urgent that you want to see the Captain at this moment?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Smells something fowl:: Shinar: You know, the sonic shower works in your quarters.  You should try using it sometime.

Host S`Kona says:
XO: I trust you are aware of the Orders that currently drive your Commanding Officer, as I believe you were once a Captain too?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::looks for any gravity well in close range and calculates the likely-hood that it would do more help than hurt and frowns ::

CNS_Richardson says:
::listens, standing quietly slightly behind S'Kona::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: CNS : Counselor... Would you excuse us, please?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Drags Shinar out of the turbolift and into the Security department:: Security: Lock him up and do something about that smell!

CNS_Richardson says:
::hesitates::  XO:  Certainly, sir.  ::moves away, out of earshot::

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> CTO: What's the matter, Captain's given all the fun assignments to the other officers and sent you to just poke jokes at me? ::Snicker:: At least the new Cap. knows what to do with his useless folk.

Host CO_Madred says:
::notes the junior officer at Tactical and frowns:: FCO/OPS: Can the two of you manage a weapons test without Mister Ryan here?

Host S`Kona says:
::Remains calm::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::leads S'Kona out of the OL, and into the nearest spot where they cannot be heard by anyone::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I am sad to report that unless we find an uncharted wormhole, we can't go any faster

Host S`Kona says:
::Follows::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Shakes her head as she turns and exits Security headed for the Bridge.  Enters turbolift::  Bridge.

Host S`Kona says:
<Shinar> ::Is locked up::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Looks up from his console, he turns to look at the TO:: CO: Hrm.. Sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
S'Kona : Very well, Mr.' S'Kona, you have my undivided attention... What do you know about our current situation?

CNS_Richardson says:
::watches as the security officers escort the remaining Vulcans out of the lounge, reassuring where she can::

Host CO_Madred says:
::is not overly fond of repeating himself and leans over the armrest of his chair, staring at Eldad::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge.  Walks over to tactical one and takes her station::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Takes a step back:: CO: Aye sir!

Host S`Kona says:
XO: I was once part of a select group of Vulcan scientists given permission by your Starfleet Command and the Federation Council to analyze the Omega Molecule and related data. I recognize the symbol, and am slightly familiar with Starfleet's programming of starship systems. Are you moving to acquire it?

Host CO_Madred says:
OPS/FCO: Never mind gentleman ... Lieutenant Ryan can handle it on her own. ::nods at the CTO::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Looks away quickly::

MO_Kru says:
::Peeks in the CMO's office and sees it empty; desk loaded with PADDs::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
S'Kona : I'm sorry, Mr. S'Kona, but I’m not at liberty to say anything about our current mission... But continue, I’m listening..

CTO_Ryan says:
::Begins level 3 diagnostic on offensive and defensive systems::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Glances at the FCO for a moment::

MO_Kru says:
::Glances over his shoulder and eases into the office::

Host S`Kona says:
::Studies him:: XO: You intend to carry out the Omega Directive then? The destruction of the Molecule?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sighs::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: The Vulcans have been returned to their quarters, Sir and Shinar is secured in the Brig.

Host CO_Madred says:
::lifts a hand to point back over his shoulder at Ryan:: CTO: I want that weapons test, soonest possible ... also, Lieutenant, what is our current compliment of quantum torpedoes?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::acts out surprised:: S'Kona : What do you mean, the Omega Directive?

MO_Kru says:
::One by one accesses the PADDs::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Quantum torpedo inventory is at 100%.

Host S`Kona says:
XO: The orders by which your CO is following, Commander. I did say I was given access to related data. The only reason I'm speaking to you about this is because you were once a CO as well.

CNS_Richardson says:
::watches the last of the Vulcan delegation, except for S'kona, depart with the security teams::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Diagnostics conclude all offensive and defensive systems functioning at 100%, Sir.

MO_Kru says:
Self: So this is how he spends his time... writing a paper for Starfleet Medical.  Figures.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders if this means he should plan attack vectors and evasives for when we get "there"::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shrugs:: S'Kona : Well, if you know so much about it, why are you asking if we're carrying this.. Omega directive, is it? Out?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Weapons inventory are all at 100%.  We are ready for any situation, Sir.

Host S`Kona says:
XO: Are you familiar with the story of the "Pearl of Infinite Logic"?

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CTO: Good, but maybe I wasn't clear ... I want a weapons test, not a diagnostic. FCO: Drop us from warp for a few minutes, Mister O'Rourke.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow:: S'Kona : I heard a few stories while i grew up on Vulcan... But, at the moment, it escapes my memory..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::drops from Warp ::

CNS_Richardson says:
::looks around the empty lounge, and considers a moment, not sure if she should return to the bridge, or remain until S'Kona and the XO complete their chat; then decides to remain, just in case::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Looks at the CO for a moment, he wonders::

Host CO_Madred says:
::starts a chronometer on the arm of his chair:: CTO: You've got three minutes ... blow something up.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Searching for targets, now.  ::Taps the console::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Should I preload evasive maneuvers for when we get "there" ?

MO_Kru says:
::replaces the PADDs in the order he found them and glances around the office::

Host CO_Madred says:
::vaguely:: FCO: Couldn't hurt.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::nods::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Detects a few asteroids and runs scans to make sure they are barren of life:: CO: Loading forward torpedo bays and firing.

Host S`Kona says:
XO: Early Vulcan theorists once thought that a matter of energy gave birth to our universe. They felt that such energy held the key to every bit of base data of all existing things. They called it the Pearl of Infinite Logic. You know that theorists have thought Omega to have been present at the beginning of the Universe ...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::starts loading pre-figured evasives into the flight systems::

Host S`Kona says:
XO: ... simply destroying it without analyzation would be a waste, Commander. A sheer waste.

Host CO_Madred says:
::sits back and watches the weapons test::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Loading aft torpedo bays and firing.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Wonders what the point of this::

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at the chronometer ... continues to watch the torpedoes seek out their marks::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
S'Kona : Well, Mr. S'Kona.. If this... Omega has the power to start a universe... I would think it's a large enough threat to be destroyed on sight.. Not toyed with, don't you think?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Last asteroid, Sir.  Firing phasers.  ::Taps console activating the phasers::

Host S`Kona says:
XO: Perhaps. ::Nods:: I see. I'm sorry to have interrupted you in the course of your duties, Commander.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::calculates the resumption to warp and the new course ::

CNS_Richardson says:
::exchanges a few idle comments with the remaining security officers, as they wait for S'kona and the XO to finish their chat::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods back:: S'Kona : You are most welcome... ::starts to leave, but stops and turns around:: S'Kona : Mr. S'Kona.. You would be wise not to do anything foolish.. Things are already tense enough aboard the ship without some rogue scientist looking for the Holy Grail....

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Weapons testing completed.  All systems are in the "green", Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::stops the chronometer and nods:: FCO: Resume course and speed.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Aye, sir :: taps in resumption to warp ::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Calculations show we have just lost 3 minutes for the testing

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns in his chair and looks Ryan up and down, before glancing over towards Eldad:: OPS: Work with Lieutenant Ryan on finding a way to juice up our quantum torpedoes a bit. CTO: Get Mister Hull to help out, if needed.

Host S`Kona says:
::Reaches over as the XO turns around and applies a Vulcan neck pinch, effectively knocking him out. Prevents him from falling and places his hands on his head, beginning a mind meld::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host S`Kona says:
XO: I don't consider my work, foolish, Commander. My mind to your mind ...

Host CO_Madred says:
::lifts a leg and rests it across his other knee:: FCO: It will have to do, Lieutenant.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::fights as much as his Vulcan training allows him to::

Host S`Kona says:
::His head aches at the rapid use of the mind meld, but he finds the data he was looking for::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Glances at the CTO:: CTO: What do you want me to do, Ma'am?

Host S`Kona says:
::The defenses of the XO are too late ... but swift enough to hurt::

Host S`Kona says:
::Lowers the XO gently:: Computer: Beam Commander Amendoeira to Sickbay, now.

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The XO appears on a bio-bed in sickbay, unconscious.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::his thought trail into oblivion as he is unconscious::

CTO_Ryan says:
OPS: I am reconfiguring the anti-matter ratios in the torpedo matrix.  I do not require your assistance at this time.

MO_Kru says:
::Spins around as the XO appears on a bio-bed and races from the CMO's office::

Host S`Kona says:
::Goes over to a nearby panel, and begins tapping in commands::

OPS_Eldad says:
CTO: V..ery well, Ma'am..

CNS_Richardson says:
::exits the observation lounge, deciding to head to the bridge::

Host CO_Madred says:
::hears the CTO and frowns:: CTO: Young minds, fresh ideas Lieutenant ... try to keep an open mind. ::nods to the OPS officer to continue::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the bridge locks down, as does Main Engineering. All corridors are locked down. Emergency alarms blare.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::starts  inputting various attack scenarios into the console::

MO_Kru says:
XO: Commander? ::runs tricorder over XO::

Host S`Kona says:
<Computer> MUTINY PROTOCOLS ACTIVATED. RED ALERT.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::doesn't respond::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: All main systems suddenly lock out.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I have a lockout

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices the computer bring the ship to Red Alert::

Host CO_Madred says:
::stands in a hurry and draws the phaser from its holster:: OPS: What happened, Eldad?

MO_Kru says:
::taps badge:: *Bridge* What happened to the XO? Why is he here in sickbay?

CNS_Richardson says:
::is startled by the alarms, at the same time she spots S'Kona, alone in the corridor::  S'Kona:  What are you doing?  ::taps her comm bridge::  CO:  Emergency here!

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: All tactical systems are locked out, Sir.  ::Taps the console frantically::

MO_Kru says:
::Looks at readings and frowns::

CNS_Richardson says:
::starts towards S'kona::  Ambassador:  What are you doing?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Draws phaser::

Host CO_Madred says:
*CNS*: Report!

OPS_Eldad says:
::Glances back to his console:: CO: Sir, the Computer thinks we are in Mutiny mode, trying to override

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::cusses under his breath ::

Host CO_Madred says:
*MO*: I don't know, Doctor ... let me know what you find out.

Host S`Kona says:
CNS: Forgive me, I mean no harm. ::Taps panel and he is beamed away::

CNS_Richardson says:
*CO*  S'Kona was speaking with the XO, privately; he's here, alone in the corridor, at a console...

MO_Kru says:
::Frowns at the CO's comment::

Host CO_Madred says:
::curses under his breath and glances at Ryan:: CTO: Get security teams to her location ... seal off that section.

CNS_Richardson says:
*CO*  He's beamed out, sir!

MO_Kru says:
Self: He doesn't know what happened to his XO?

OPS_Eldad says:
::Frowns:: CO: Sir, the computer is locked. The XO's codes are in place, I can't override them, Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::holsters his phaser and slams his hand into the armrest of his chair:: OPS: Track that transport...

MO_Kru says:
::Injects Amendoeira with a stimulant::

Host CO_Madred says:
*CEO*: Mister Hull, I need control of the ship back at your leisure please...

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps com badge:: All Security: Security teams to the officer's lounge, on the double.

MO_Kru says:
::Runs tricorder over XO again::

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Aye Sir, tracking.. ::Changes a few screens at his consoles and begins to track the transport::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::starts coming around, mumbling something::

MO_Kru says:
::Sees Amendoeira coming to::

CNS_Richardson says:
::approaches where S'Kona was, looking to see what happened, and wondering where the XO went::

MO_Kru says:
XO: Lay still a moment.

CNS_Richardson says:
*CO* The XO is not here now either, sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
Computer: Erect a level 10 security field around the officer's lounge.

MO_Kru says:
XO: What happened?

OPS_Eldad says:
::Sighs:: CO: Of course I can't do that since the consoles are locked down, Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::tries to bring his voice down a few octaves:: Computer: How can we go about disabling mutiny overrides?

Host S`Kona says:
<Computer> CTO: Unable to comply. Lieutenant Junior Grade Ryan has been designated a Storm traitor and is permitted no further access to main systems.

CTO_Ryan says:
Computer: Computer, what??  That is incorrect.  You are malfunctioning.

Host S`Kona says:
<Computer> CO: Disa -- ::Suddenly squarks::

MO_Kru says:
::Stares into XO's eyes waiting for a response::

Host CO_Madred says:
::hears the computer report and grimaces:: CTO: I want whoever programmed this computer against the Storm ... and DIDN'T reprogram it afterwards shot. ::adds:: ... after we solve this, that is.

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: S'Kona appears on the main viewscreen, he is in a park it seems like ...

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Sir, on screen.

Host CO_Madred says:
::looks to CTO and whispers:: CTO: Seal off the holodecks...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::thinks Arboretum?::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::takes his hand to his head:: I was.. Speaking with S'Kona... HE... ::suddenly jumps up to sit in the bed:: he attacked me.. *CO* : Sir.. S'Kona is trying to .. ::looks a the MO for a second:: ...sabotage our mission..

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Raises an eyebrow::  Unable to execute that command, Sir.   We have been locked out of all ship's systems.

CNS_Richardson says:
::is wondering what's happening, and decides to go to the nearest turbolift, at a half run::

Host CO_Madred says:
::walks towards the viewscreen hoping to make S'kona's eyes sore as the size of Madred's head increases on the other end:: S'Kona: Good afternoon, Mister Ambassador ... I believe you wanted to speak to me.

Host S`Kona says:
*Bridge* Paula Greene crew, I now have control of your ship. All main ship systems are under my control. As I informed your Commander, I am quite familiar with Starfleet systems, and will not permit you to destroy Omega.

Host CO_Madred says:
::turns and curses:: CTO: Then physically eject the whole darn section if you need to!

MO_Kru says:
*CO* Commander Amendoeira is awake... says S'Kona attacked him... something about sabotaging our mission?

Host CO_Madred says:
::standing near the FCO:: FCO: ETA to the Black Cluster?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: Suggest you require Voice and Eye print verification of all Command codes

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Raises an eyebrow and enters the turbolift::  Main computer core.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets up:: MO : I need to get to the bridge.. ::starts out of Sickbay, and bumps into the doors when they won't open for him to pass:: What the??

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: 11 hours 33 Minutes

Host S`Kona says:
*Bridge* As we speak, I have begun modifying the codes so you cannot alter them ... it is really simple as these are outdated programs.

MO_Kru says:
XO: You'll be fine in a moment.  ::Looks surprised when the doors won't open::

Host CO_Madred says:
*S'kona*: Well then, Ambassador, I'm afraid you're one up on me as I have no knowledge of the directive you are referencing. We're on our way to try and stop a Borg incursion in the Black Cluster.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets himself up from the floor:: MO : What's going on here? Computer : Status Report..

MO_Kru says:
::Jogs to the doors to find they won't open for him either::

Host S`Kona says:
::Noting certain comm.'s coming in:: *Bridge* Which is ironic as reports are coming in of Borg activity. Just no where near the Black Cluster.

MO_Kru says:
XO: I have no idea.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and enters the computer core room::

Host S`Kona says:
*Bridge* Here, have a listen.

CNS_Richardson says:
::realizes the turbolift isn't functioning, and pauses to consider what to do next::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::hands the CO a Padd::

Host CO_Madred says:
*S'kona*: We're mobilizing a backup fleet there ... in case the first wave fails.

MO_Kru says:
::Gestures toward the door panel:: XO: Open them manually?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, and moves to the side panel, retrieving the magnetic handle::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Begins tapping the control panel to the main computer core trying to override the command codes::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: All speakers suddenly start spouting reports from various ships ... "Borg Cube engaging Cherokee" "... my god, the Quirinus explo..." "... Huron battle group engaging Q'Orphod ..." "... Inorganics all over the place, AARGH!"

MO_Kru says:
::Steps out of XO's way::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
MO : Unlock it.. ::sticks the magnetic handle on the side of the door::

Host CO_Madred says:
*S’Kona*: Given the importance of Vulcan to the Federation, I somehow doubt that the Borg would stop short of assimilating your own homeworld.

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: CTO's attempts fail.

MO_Kru says:
::Grabs handle and pauses at the announcement::

CNS_Richardson says:
::hears the reports, and gasps::

MO_Kru says:
XO: A battle?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Continues to tap the console, trying different code sequences::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: MO : We're not being hit.. ::pulls on the door as the unlocking count is heard::

MO_Kru says:
XO: The Quirinus exploded?

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at the PADD:: *S'kona*: Yes, that's what I am reading here. I'd hate to be the one responsible for us not getting there to help...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::shrugs, his muscles straining from the force to open the door:: MO : I have.... No.. Idea..

CTO_Ryan says:
::Tries to restore the back up files from 24-hours ago::

MO_Kru says:
::pulls on handle::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Throws her hands up in frustration::

MO_Kru says:
::places foot on opposite door and pushes as he pulls on handle::

Host CO_Madred says:
::passes the PADD containing the Paula Greene's prefix codes over to the OPS officer who is sitting next to the FCO:: *S'Kona*: Mister Eldad here will transmit the information to you... ::turns his back to the viewscreen so he can talk to Eldad:: OPS: Prefix codes ... enter them.

CTO_Ryan says:
Computer: Computer, Location of remote access terminal?

Host CO_Madred says:
FCO: If this works, I want the entire section containing the holodecks severed from the core and ejected into space.

MO_Kru says:
::Slips as doors separate by .75 meters::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::manages to get out of sickbay along with the MO and the rest of the people in there, only to bump into the closed bulkheads surrounding their corridors:: All : Great, just great..

MO_Kru says:
XO: There sir.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Takes the PADD, he glances at it for a second before looking up again:: CO: Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* : Lt. .What the heck is happening on the ship?

MO_Kru says:
::Leans through the open doors to listen to XO::

Host CO_Madred says:
::watches, with his back to S'kona as the OPS officer enters the prefix codes of the Paula Greene::

CTO_Ryan says:
*XO* Sir, the computer has been taken over from a remote access terminal somewhere on the ship.  I am trying to locate it now.

Host S`Kona says:
::Remains silent, doing his work:: *CO* As you are not Vulcan, Captain. I doubt you would understand.

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: I'm unable to use the ship prefix codes, Sir.

MO_Kru says:
XO: Will try to get access from sickbay consoles.

CTO_Ryan says:
<Computer> CTO: The remote access terminal is located in Holodeck one.

CNS_Richardson says:
::taps her comm badge::  *Bridge* Richardson here... what's happening?  I can't get off this deck

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* : Taken over??... ::recent memories of S'Kona's mind meld surface.. Self : My commando Codes...

MO_Kru says:
::Turns back and attempts access on sickbay consoles::

Host CO_Madred says:
*S'kona*: It's coming, S'kona ... please understand, the computer is a mess right now. ::turns back to OPS:: OPS: Try again...

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns and exits the computer core room and heads to holodeck one:: *XO* The remote access terminal is in holodeck one.  I am headed there now, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::calls out:: Computer : Unlock bulkheads on deck 10, section 15. Authorization Tealk 12 Alpha 5

Host S`Kona says:
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply. Those codes have been deleted.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: It's of no use, I'm unable, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* : If you can get there.. The bulkheads are all closed..

Host CO_Madred says:
::frowns in frustration:: FCO: Can we conduct an emergency ejection of the core from here? Without access codes?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* : Plus, S'Kona's deleted our command Codes..

MO_Kru says:
::Notes his console is extremely slow in responding::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CO: I have an idea, if you would like ::points at the hatch to the hell hole::

CTO_Ryan says:
*XO* I am heading into a Jeffries tube hatch.  I will use the manual overrides.

Host CO_Madred says:
OPS: We have any idea for certain where that bastard is on the ship?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Self : Oh well... MO : Ensign.: Come with me.. The rest of you stay put.. ::goes back to get the magnetic handle, disengages it, and runs to the nearest bulkhead, re-engaging it.. Then, with all his Vulcan strength, Pushes upwards::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Opens up a hatch and climbs in crawling to the junction::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* : I'll ... Try.. Raising.. The.. Bulkheads... One... By.. One..

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Sir, we can use a tricorder and connects it to the ship internal sensors, that might give us the chance to scan the ship, Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.

MO_Kru says:
::Stops what he's doing and races after the XO::

Host CO_Madred says:
OPS/FCO: Do it... ::walks back towards his chair:: *S'kona*: So ... you wanted my attention, now you've got it. What shall we talk about?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::manages to open one of the bulkheads, detaches the handle, and passes through:: MO : Come on...

Host S`Kona says:
*CO* It is too late for talking.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Climbs up the ladder to the next deck, opens a panel and extracts a magnetic handle, locking it onto the deck hatch and opening it::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::rises and goes to the Hell hole door ::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Nods, he grabs a tricorder and walks to SCI::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::opens it and drops through ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::locates the nearest TL access.. Seeing as the TLs don't seem to be working, He opens the door manually::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Bends down, he opens the hatch for the console::

MO_Kru says:
::Follows XO yet again with the door device in hand::

Host CO_Madred says:
*S'kona*: You realize of course that one man can't operate the entire ship ... not even with the help of the computer. Plus you're going to have every ship in the fleet on your trail, so you probably won't even arrive at the Black Cluster. It is, after all, a long trip from here...

MO_Kru says:
::Pulls with the XO::

CTO_Ryan says:
::continues her ascent up the ladder another deck and uses the magnetic handle to open the next deck hatch::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sees no sign of OPS following  he continues onwards::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::his strained muscles begin to buckle slightly, but still he pushes on, spraining an arm muscle::

Host S`Kona says:
*CO* Captain, all your fleet elements are heading for the Madtion / Leopold nebulae. Along with apparent Borg cubes, Q'Orphod Fleets, Bellicose Fighters, and perhaps a few Klingon starships.

MO_Kru says:
::Pants as he tries to keep up with the Vulcan::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
MO : Ok.. Now.. To get down to Deck 15... We need to get to Holodeck 1..

Host CO_Madred says:
::sits in the center seat and adjusts himself to the most comfortable position:: *S'kona*: Somehow I doubt Surak would agree with your undertaking such an illogical course.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Climbs through the hatch and enters the crawl tube headed back into the ship corridors.  Opens the hatch and climbs out onto the deck and runs to holodeck 1::

MO_Kru says:
::Sags and nods to XO::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Disables the use of the console, and switches the console to manual information feed. He then connects the tricorder to the console::

MO_Kru says:
XO: Aye... sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::cusses as he makes his way downwards through the ship ::

Host S`Kona says:
*CO* The destruction of Omega would be illogical, Captain.

Host CO_Madred says:
*S'kona*: Seems rather foolhardy ... almost like something a human would do.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::grabs hold of the stairs with his good arm, then starts downward::

Host S`Kona says:
*CO* Your attempts at insult are not going to work.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Moves the Tricorder in front of him and presses on scan::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Reaches holodeck one and tries to open the doors using the control panel on the wall::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The doors open, and the CTO is greeted by a vast forest.

MO_Kru says:
::climbs down with XO::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stands looking at the forest, then draws her phaser and moves slowly into the holodeck::

Host CO_Madred says:
::laughs:: *S'kona*: I don't think you can actually 'attempt' to insult someone. You either insult them or you don't. Now, whether you actually are insulted ... that's a different matter.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::reaches deck 36 and makes his way to ME ::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning while walking into the forest::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::shuts off power to the Holodecks::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: As soon as the CTO enters into the holodeck, she is beset by several holographic Klingons ... the safety protocols are off.

Host CO_Madred says:
::makes idle conversation:: *S'kona*: It's an interesting setting you've chosen, a forest. Not particularly 'Vulcan-esque'.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Raises from the floor, he cleans his uniform:: CO: No luck, Sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
:::walks over and with a curse pulls the manual eject lever on the Warp Core::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees the Klingons and fires phaser, moving from side to side to avoid getting hit::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Power to holodecks remains on, despite the FCO's attempts. Computer has been programmed to re-route power in case of mutiny attempts to shut down power.

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The holographic Klingons find themselves in a real fight.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps COM badge:: *Security* Ryan to security, holodeck one on the double!

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The warp core is ejected, the Paula Greene falls from warp.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Continues to fire her phaser as she dodges the Klingons::

Host CO_Madred says:
::leans forward with inertia and smiles to himself:: *S'kona*: Something tells me you wont' make it there in time ... at least not at impulse.

MO_Kru says:
::Feels the IDF adjust from the sudden drop from warp::

MO_Kru says:
XO: Uh sir..

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Several systems that run on power from the warp core shut down in the process, S'Kona raises an eyebrow on the viewscreen.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles as he senses the ship exiting warp::  MO : They’ve ejected the core, for sure..

Host S`Kona says:
*CO* Captain ... I. ::Stops::

MO_Kru says:
::Nods::

MO_Kru says:
XO: So we're stuck with impulse.

Host CO_Madred says:
::finishes for him:: *S'kona*: You ... give up? Very well, your surrender is accepted.

Host S`Kona says:
::Stares at the CO on the viewscreen, and realizes his fault:: Computer: Deactivate mutiny protocols, code S'Kona - Omega - Pearl.

CTO_Ryan says:
*XO* Ryan to Cmdr. Amendoeira.  I am in holodeck 1 and under siege by a group of Klingons and I can tell you the safety protocols have been disabled.  Request immediate assistance.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::hopes the CO will understand ::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The system shuts down the Mutiny Protocols, everything returns to normal.

Host S`Kona says:
Computer: Shut down Holodeck Program Arbor - One.

Host CO_Madred says:
::glances at OPS:: OPS: We should be able to tell where he is now, right?

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The holodeck returns to normal, just leaving S'Kona and the CTO.

Host S`Kona says:
::Turns and holds hands out:: CTO: I place myself under your arrest.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns as he sees the TL lights come back on:: MO : I think we need to get out of here...

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Sensor alarms start blaring.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stops firing and aims her phaser at S'Kona:: S'Kona: You're under arrest.

Host S`Kona says:
CTO: So I've said.

MO_Kru says:
::Hears the turbolift start up:: XO:  No joke sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* I suggest we have someone search of the core, we may be able to tractor it back with a shuttle

MO_Kru says:
Computer: Emergency stop, turbolift 4.

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods at OPS:: *CTO*: Lieutenant Ryan, if you would be so kind as to place Mister S'kona under arrest and confine him to our ... strongest ... cell, please.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Nods at the Captain:: CO: One moment, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets as quickly as he can to the next deck door, and starts pulling frantically with his good arm on the magnetic handle he set into place::

CTO_Ryan says:
S'Kona: Come with me.  ::Hangs onto his arm and leads him out of the holodeck headed for the Brig:: I have someone in the Brig that will be happy to see you.  He could use a little company.

MO_Kru says:
::Frantically follows the XO::

Host CO_Madred says:
*FCO*: Good idea, why don't you stop by my quarters on your way to the shuttlebay. I can't think of anyone better qualified for finding the warp core then Commander Tsalea.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  Headed to the Brig now.

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Incoming subspace compression wave, Sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CO* Aye, sir

Host S`Kona says:
::Silently follows::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*Bridge* : Anyone up there.. Stop the TLs!!! ME and the MO are stuck in one of the shafts!!!

MO_Kru says:
::Sighs in relief as turbolift stops only meters below them::

Host CO_Madred says:
OPS: When you have a moment, transmit a message to Starfleet Commander ... priority channel. Paula Greene down ... unable to complete mission. Will advise, soonest.

OPS_Eldad says:
*XO* Standby, Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::hears the XO:: OPS: And shutdown the turbolifts before you squash my XO.

OPS_Eldad says:
::Stops the TLs::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: The massive red, white and purple compression wave slams the Paula Greene. EVERYONE goes flying everywhere, consoles explode, lights flicker off ... the vessel is tossed around and around.

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Already done, Sir.

MO_Kru says:
::Attaches his door device on hatch opposite the XO's::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::cusses as he starts up the Jeffery Tubes::

Host CO_Madred says:
::is tossed from his chair and rolls across the bridge to a far wall::

OPS_Eldad says:
::Falls down to the floor::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters Security department with S'Kona then leads him into the Brig:: S'Kona: Okay into your cell.  ::Points phaser at him::

MO_Kru says:
::Looses it grip and falls 7 meters to the top of the turbolift below::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::gets jumbled about, but manages to hang on to the handle, loosing his hold on the stairs, and now dangling on the Shaft::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Power in the brig goes out, and the CTO is knocked unconscious.

Host CO_Madred says:
::pinned up against a bulkhead by a chair:: *CTO*: Report! Don't lose that Vulcan bastard!

CTO_Ryan says:
::Flies forward into a bulkhead::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::flies around the inside of the  jefferies tube and finally alights prone, unable to rise with multiple breaks and contusions and knocked out::

MO_Kru says:
::Winces and attempts to sit up::

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Sir, damage reports are coming in.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::curses under his breath:: *Bridge* : Medical emergency.. Beam MO Kru to Sickbay.... And me to wherever possible,..

MO_Kru says:
Aloud: Aaaaah.  ::holds broken left arm::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::calls out:: MO :Are you alright? ::feels his grip loosening on the handle::

Host S`Kona says:
ACTION: Power throughout many systems in the ship is gone, and somewhere out there, the Omega Fountain enters it's final stage of existence ... while the Paula Greene lays battered and broken.

MO_Kru says:
XO: Broke an arm... ::pants:: Not sure what else.

Host CO_Madred says:
::crawls out from under the chair that had him pinned and makes his way back to the command chair, pressing the controls on the armrest:: OPS: Do we have attitude control?

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Checking, standby, Sir.

Host CO_Madred says:
::pulls himself up into the chair:: OPS: Level us out ... and if that wave has a big brother out there, find it and turn us into it!

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::bleeds profusely ::

OPS_Eldad says:
CO: Several hull breaches, only a few of which have been sealed. Life support lost on some decks, lights throughout most of the ship are gone, impulse is barely active. Internal sensors are busted. And conn is down as well

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::his hold slips, and he dives onto the MO below him::
