USS Paula Greene, 10604.18
Host Izzy says:
Mission #165, La Fuite, Part 4
Host Izzy says:
Summary: The containers are now secured in Cargo Bay #1. Standard shields have been put up around the containers and two red shirts are on guard outside CB1. The XO ordered that no one enters CB#1; however, scans are allowed. The ship is about halfway between Vulcan and Earth.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO Bishara says:
::In engineering sitting in her office sipping an Earl Grey tea::
FCO Lt Shilos Says
::Sitting at the helm station on the bridge monitoring the course and speed, also watching a sensor feed from the cargo bay::
XO Burton says:
::Sitting on the bridge going over several reports::
CSO Praed says:
::Is on the Bridge running some scans of the containers they picked up.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  I take it the samples are very well secured?
XO Burton says: XO Burton
CSO: How are your scans proceeding?
XO Burton says:
CO: Yes sir. Secured and we are scanning them sir.
CEO Bishara says:
::Brings up the power grid on her computer to monitor the containment field in Cargo bay #1::
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  May I see a copy of the sample roster?
CSO Praed says:
XO:  Our scanners are having a difficult time penetrating the outer layers of the containers.  Regardless of this, I have been running continuous scans on the sixty-four containers we took aboard.
CSO Praed says:
XO:  Ten of the containers seem to contain some kind of insects, twenty-one of them contain plants, sixteen of them contain gases and seventeen of them contain liquids.

XO Burton says:
CO: Yes sir. ::Hands the CO the roster::
CO Capt McAllister says:
::Takes the Padd and reviews the roster::  XO:  Thank you Lt.
XO Burton says:
FCO: ETA to Earth?
CSO Praed says:
::Hears the alarm on his console.::  XO:  Sir, there is an unknown gas leaking from one of the containers.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
XO: ETA to transporter range of the Daystrom Institute is five hours, three minutes, and forty five seconds.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Containment fields hold............hold up something is wrong in the cargo bay.  I am detecting an anomaly.  Exactly what I can’t say.
XO Burton says:
CSO: Is the gas contained by the containment field?
CO Capt McAllister says:
: Leans forward in his chair:  *CEO*:  What's going on down there?
CSO Praed says:
XO:  I am detecting a slight degradation in the containment field and our shields.  The leak seems to be emanating from Container #34. It is located amidst all the other containers.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I am getting an indicator light that something is leaking.
XO Burton says:
CTO: Get a transporter lock on that container if possible and prepare to beam it away.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir the gas is slowly degrading the shielding in the cargo bay.
CTO McGee says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Tries to get a lock on the container::
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: There may be a way to change the type of shielding.  I would need to do several variations on the simulators.
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  Make sure you compensate so that the shields hold.
Host Izzy says:
ACTION: The CTO gets a lock but it is slightly unstable.

CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Will try sir but it is going to take some doing.
CTO McGee says:
XO: I have a lock, Sir...but it's not the best one.  It's unstable.
XO Burton says:
*CEO*: Can up get more power to the shielding?
CSO Praed says:
: Checks his scans on the gas.
CEO Bishara says:
::Gets up and walks over to the main engineering board and pulls online two fusion reactors and adds them to the shielding in the cargo bay but the shields are still degrading::
CEO Bishara says:
Self: Augusfratt!!!
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Continues watching the helm console::
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir either we get rid of it or we lose it.
XO Burton says:
CO: Sir, shall we beam it away?
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  Can you get a lock on all the other samples?
CSO Praed says:
::Compares the data on the gas with any known gas in the Federation Database.::  Self:  Hrmmm... ::In deep thought.::
CEO Bishara says:
::Hands fly over the board trying different variations of shielding types and comes up empty::
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  I would prefer not to take that chance if it's unstable.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir any variations tot he shields that I do in the simulator will not work.  What ever that gas is it is degrading the fields.
CTO McGee says:
XO: Sir...the lock on the other containers will be too unstable as long as the gas is leaking.
XO Burton says:
CSO: Any idea what kind of gas it is?

CSO Praed says:
XO:  Sir, I suggest we contact Dr. Sartek.  There is nothing in the Federation Database that closely resembles what we have in the Cargo Bay.  Perhaps he will know more and may be able to assist us.
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  Seal off that deck!
CO Capt McAllister says:
::Overhears the CSO::  CSO:  Excellent suggestion.
CEO Bishara says:
~~~CO: Either we do something fast or I will lose the containment field in cargo bay 1.~~~
XO Burton says:
CSO: Please do that quickly.
CSO Praed says:
::Nods and attempts to contact Dr. Sartek.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  We're sealing off that deck.
CEO Bishara says:
::Watches as the field continues to degrade::
Host Izzy says:
ACTION: One red shirt starts laughing uncontrollably.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: That may not be enough sir.
CTO McGee says:
: Gives the order for all personnel to evacuate the deck: CO: Evacuating the personnel now, sir.
Host Izzy says:
<RedShirt1>*CTO*: Ma'am... I don't know what's going on, but Jones here can't stop laughing.
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  Try and keep the shields up for just a bit longer.  We're trying to contact Dr. Sartek.
CO Capt McAllister says:
::Nods::  CTO:  Acknowledged.
CTO McGee says:
*Redshirt*: Well get his giggling butt off that deck...pronto!
CSO Praed says:
::Raises his eyebrow, waiting for Sartek to respond.::
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG: What? ::In his lovely and charming tone::
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Will try sir.
CSO Praed says:
COM: Sartek:  We have a bit of a situation here Doctor.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
<RedShirt1>*CTO*: Aye. I'll bring him to sickbay in case.
XO Burton says:
::Walks over to the CSO::
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG CSO: And you are? ::Fiddles with padds::
CEO Bishara says:
::Hands fly once more and mixes a heavy metal compound with Kelvanite and fistrium and hopes it works::
Host Dr_Sartek says:
ACTION: All personnel have evacuated.
CSO Praed says:
COM: Sartek:  Lieutenant Praed of the Paula Greene.  The contents of Container #34 are leaking into our cargo bay and disrupting the containment fields and our shields.
CEO Bishara says:
::Jumps for joy::
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I have found a compound that is slowing the degradation but it will not last long.  We need an answer soon.
CTO McGee says:
::Sees there are no more personnel on the deck and seals it off with a level ten force field:: CO: Deck is sealed.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG CSO: What? That's impossible! #34... that's not good. Do you have Andorians on board?
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  We should have an answer here shortly.
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  Nice work Lt.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: The sooner the better.
XO Burton says:
@COM: Doctor this is Burton from the Paula Greene. Yes we do, why should we be concerned?
CTO McGee says:
::Grins:: CO: All in a days work Captain.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: Ah, Lt Burton. Well, we had a casualty when analyzing that gas. One Andorian died. It seems it is lethal for them. For others, it can be laughing, seizures, coma,... you need to seal that leak!
CSO Praed says:
::Allows the lieutenant to take over seeing as he's probably seen or talked to the Doctor before.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
Self:  Really?
XO Burton says:
@COM: Doctor is there any special shielding we should use?
XO Burton says:
FCO: You had better prepare to evacuate and get any other Andorians ready as well.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the view screen.:: XO:  There was an Andorian working for a Vulcan, and they died, gee isn't that a shade suspicious.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
<CMO>*CTO*: Lt McGee, I'm taking Jones off duty. Your crewmember can't stop laughing and nothing is making him stop so far. I'll keep you updated on his situation.
CEO Bishara says:
::Watches as the shielding goes lower:: Self: This better get fixed soon or ......::Doesn't finish the sentence::
CSO Praed says:
::Thinks of how they'll be able to seal off the leak.::
XO Burton says:
FCO: We can debate the subtleties of Andorian/Vulcan relations another time unless you would like to become one of their statistics.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
XO: Now you want us to leave our posts?  Maybe you are trying to cover up this compound.  I think someone should vent that cargo bay into space and beam the container to open space.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: Someone with an Eva suit could probably be able to seal the leak. I'll send your CSO the parameters of container #34 so you can replicate the material to seal the leak. We do not know the effect the gas would have in space, so you cannot beam it there.
CTO McGee says:
*CMO*: thanks Doc.  I'll send any other giggling crewmen to you.
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  Get someone into an EVA suit.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I am going to lose containment in ten minutes. What ever it is you are going to do, do it fast.
CSO Praed says:
::Receives the data from Doctor Sartek.::  XO:  Sir, under the circumstances, my physiology will be more able to withstand the effects of the gas than anyone else.
XO Burton says:
*CEO*: I need you to get into an EVA suit quickly.
CTO McGee says:
:CO:  ::Hears the scientist:: What the heck will it do in space?  Blow up some interstellar dust?  I say we beam it outta here.
CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Already getting into one sir.
XO Burton says:
CSO: Then get into an EVA suit and go with Bishara.
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CTO*:  We can't beam it out.  We can't get a stable lock on it.  I would decompress the CB, but we can't get a stable lock on the other samples either.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Sends word to the ship's other Andorians to gather in the shuttle bay ASAP::
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: That is not good. Not good at all. I'll send a report to Dr. Adrel. Anything else, Lt?
CSO Praed says:
::Nods and leaves the Bridge, entering the turbo lift.::  Computer:  Cargo Bay One.
CTO McGee says:
CO: Sorry sir, should have been more clear.  I meant when I can get a stable lock on it.  No telling when it will eat through any repairs and start leaking again.
XO Burton says:
@COM: Not unless you have any suggestions on how we can stop it or get rid of it.
CSO Praed says:
*CEO*:  Lieutenant, have an EVA suit brought at the turbolift.  I'm going in with you.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Sends a signal to the shuttle bay to have every available shuttle prepped for launch::

Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: How far are you from Earth? If you do the repairs properly, they should last a few hours. Dr. Adrel will have the equipment to deal with the gas.
CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Already suited up sir.  Going to meet the CSO with another EVA suit.
CEO Bishara says:
*CSO*: Understood sir.
CSO Praed says:
::Waits a few moments and arrives on the deck where Cargo Bay One is.  He waits for Lieutenant Bishara to arrive.::
CEO Bishara says:
::Flies down the corridor and meets the CSO::
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: I believe this is your size sir.
CTO McGee says:
CO/XO: Sirs...the shields are still degrading and I have visual confirmation of the gas on that deck.  You can see it now.
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: Has the gas leaked outside of your shields? I supposed you put up shields?
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  Thank you T'Lisha.  ::Hurriedly puts on his EVA suit.::
XO Burton says:
@COM Sartek: Perhaps if you had not given us defective containers in the first place there would be no need for repairs, Doctor.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
XO: Permission to leave the bridge?
CO Capt McAllister says:
Self:  Is this person for real?
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: We need to hurry the containment field is going to go soon.
XO Burton says:
@COM Sartek: Of course we have and it appears to be destabilizing them.
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  Understood.  Let's see what the CEO/CSO can do about the leak.
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  We just need to replicate the piece that will go over the breached area on the container.

XO Burton says:
FCO: If you report to a shuttle or escape pod and are ready to evacuate. If you have any other plans just stay here. 
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: The containers were fine when I gave them to you. They must have moved during transport. It is affecting the shields? mmm.... well, it usually took an hour to dissipate so as long as no Andorians are in touch with the gas, your ship will be gas-free in an hour... if the leak is stopped that is.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Ready?
CSO Praed says:
::Nods.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  How many Andorians do we have aboard?
CEO Bishara says:
*XO*:Sir we are ready to enter the cargo bay.
XO Burton says:
*CEO*: Proceed with caution. 
FCO Lt Shilos says:
XO: I always have other plans I plan on evacuating the rest of the Andorian crew.
CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Understood sir.  Just have sickbay standing by in case......
CTO McGee says:
CO: 4 sir.
CEO Bishara says:
::Looks at the CSO and then walks into the cargo bay::
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  We'll use the industrial replicator in the Cargo Bay to create the piece for us.  ::Follows the CEO.::
Host Dr_Sartek says:
@COM: PG XO: Good luck Lt. If there is anything else, contact me again. ::Closes comm::
CO Capt McAllister says:
FCO:  Have you and the other three Andorians aboard in a shuttle and ready to depart.
XO Burton says:
Self: Trite Vulcan.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Well let’s get to replicating.  We have three minutes before complete failure of the shielding.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
CO: We will be prepared to depart shortly sir.
CSO Praed says:
::Nods and walks over to the replicator and to its console.  He begins to input the data for the piece.::
XO Burton says:
CO: As a precaution should we prepare to depressurize the cargo bay and open the doors?
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  How you coming down there Lt.?
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Locks down the helm station than signals the transporter room to transport her directly to the shuttle bay::
CEO Bishara says:
::Heads for the center of the canisters and locates #34""
CSO Praed says:
::Has the replicator create the piece.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  As a last resort yes.  That is, if the shields hold when we depressurize.  We can't take a chance of losing all those samples.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir it is going to be tight sir.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: I found the canister.
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  The piece is replicating right now.
CTO McGee says:
CO: 3 minutes until shield failure in cargo bay 1
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Better hurry we down to two minutes.
Host Izzy says:
ACTION: The piece appears in the replicator per CSO's request.
CSO Praed says:
::Grabs his tricorder and scans the piece to make sure it has no faults.::
CO Capt McAllister says:
CTO:  Get whatever lock you can on that container and prepare to beam it out.

FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Materializes in the shuttle bay, than goes to the other three Andorians.  She quickly informs them of the situation and signals that they should each take a shuttle or runabout.  Both Runabouts and two type 9 shuttles are on the flight line.  She climbs into one of the runabouts and prepares a last minute Pre-flight check.::
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  I hope you brought the tools to graft this on.  ::Grabs the piece and walks over to the CEO.::
CTO McGee says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Tries to get a more stable lock::
CEO Bishara says:
Self: This had better work.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Never leave home with out it.  ::Pulls out her tool kit::
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Lets get this done I got one minute now to total shield failure.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Uploads the PG's most recent sensor logs:: *XO* All Andorians are prepared for departure, per orders.
Host Izzy says:
ACTION: Lock is not more stable.
CTO McGee says:
CO: Sir, the lock is not more stable.
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  You don't sleep with them do you?  ::Takes out his tricorder to scan the container for any leaks while T'Lisha is working on it.::
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: No I have another tool kit in my quarters as well  ::Laughs::
CEO Bishara says:
::Hands fly to refit the container to seal the leak::
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Switches over to internal atmosphere:: *XO* I am showing thirty seconds until shield failure, Requesting launch clearance, and shuttle bay door release.
CTO McGee says:
CO: Total shield failure on 1 minute.  According to my calculations, I won't get a stable lock until the gas has dissipated...which will be in about 30 minutes.
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  I see.  ::Raises his eyebrow.::  After all this time.. I still don't understand some species.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Well some time after this mess is fixed I would love to buy you a drink. 
XO Burton says:
*FCO*: Cleared for launch.
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  You got 60 seconds.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: That  should do it.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Understood.
Host Izzy says:
ACTION: Repairs are done.... did it work?
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Scan it to make sure.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Looks at the shuttle bay door, than sends the emergency override to it.  As soon as it opens both runabouts and both type 9 shuttles launch in sequence.::
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  I'm sure that can be arranged.  ::Watches as she finishes.: He scans over the Engineer's work to make sure it's not leaking anymore.::
XO Burton says:
::Sits in anticipation::
CEO Bishara says:
::Looks at the CSO::
CTO McGee says:
::Whoops loudly:: All: I detect no more gas leaking.  Repairs are successful!
FCO Lt Shilos says:
@::Watches as the three other shuttles fan out than begin moving away from the PG::
CEO Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir we sealed the leak but there is still gas in the air.
CTO McGee says:
CO: But we still have gas in the area until it dissipates.
CO Capt McAllister says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.  Nice job.
CEO Bishara says:
*CO* which means the field is going to drop regardless.
CSO Praed says:
::Nods at T'Lisha.::  CEO:  Good job.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
@::Forwards the PG's most recent Sensor logs to Andorian high command along with a transcript of Dr. Sartek's message.
XO Burton says:
*CEO*: Exit the cargo bay and seal it of until the gas has dissipated. Nice work.
CO Capt McAllister says:
XO:  Inform our Andorian crew to keep close distance.  We'll send them an all clear when ready.
XO Burton says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEO Bishara says:
CSO: Yeah but I am going to lose the field regardless.  Damn.......
CEO Bishara says:
*XO*: Understood sir.
CSO Praed says:
CEO:  The gas will be gone in a few hours.  We should get out of here before something goes wrong with our EVA suits.
CEO Bishara says:
::Exits the cargo bay with the CSO behind her and reseals the bay::
XO Burton says:
*FCO*: It appears we have sealed the leak, however until the gas dissipates please have the shuttles and runabouts keep a close but safe distance.
FCO Lt Shilos says:
::Eases the runabout a little further from the Paula Greene:: @COM:PG: XO: Understood.
Host Izzy says:
