Host Lea says:
@Summary: Aboard the Andromeda, Captain Knight and Doctor Knight-Sky continue their investigation into the source of the mysterious message.
Host Lea says:
Summary: Meanwhile, aboard Gehmohr Science Station, most of the Andromeda crew has been reunited above the shuttle. Only Ensign McQuade remains, as Lieutenant Commander Power makes the long arduous trek toward his location.
Host Lea says:
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~Begin USS Andromeda Mission: "Safe Passage" 11202.18~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances forward in the shuttle towards the sensor station. Then pulls out her tricorder and begins scanning herself::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: With his medical 'cocktail' in hand, he gives the science officer an injection.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Turns slightly onto his side as he comes too.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::barely reacts to the injection as she continues scanning:: MO: Thanks...now what were we contaminated with?
Host Lea says:
ACTION: A moment later, a signal comes through from Power: CTO Foxx is ready to beam home.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Starts to lift himself from the floor, but stops as his head pounds.::  Quietly Outloud:  Ooohh.  Anyone catch the reg number of the shuttle that hit me?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sends acknowledgement and locks onto the CTO::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Mutters::  CSO: Slobber...  :: runs a diagnostic scan on her.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Wilcox, is there any reason you can determine why we need the field up before I beam Foxx over?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Rolls over and sits up placing his hand on the back of his head.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks a scan of her uniform, tracking down a strand of the animal's saliva, and starting a DNA analysis.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
MO: I'm no botanist, but last time I checked slobber wasn't contagious.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Snaps his medical scanner closed.::  CSO:  No.  Your vitals are almost back to normal.  The bath we had left behind some proteins and enzymes as to be expected, but nothing malignant.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
ACTION: Melkin is seated on the same corner of the couch she'd been last time McQuade remembers seeing her, but now she's curled up tightly, staring out the viewport there at the ever-changing shape of the nebula without.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Looks at the counselor::   CNS:  That no was for you too.  We did not pick up anything that I can pick up.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: So we can drop the forcefield? Then you can treat Foxx while I scan ahead for the Commander.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Makes a mental note of the taste of blood in his mouth before trying to stand.::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Nods his head::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::compares the tricorder scans to the DNA analysis, and begins building a holographic representation of the animal to show to the station later::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods in return and drops the forcefield before initiating transport of the CTO:: MO: Incoming.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: You can get to the consoles now if you wish.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Prepared::
Host Melkin_Mek says:
ACTION: With the typical hum and swirl, the transporter engages. CTO Foxx's unconscious body materializes on the deck beside MO Wilcox.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses before standing fully erect also noting at least one or two possibly fractured ribs on his right side.::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Sighing, he kneels down to scan the security officer.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::sets the computer to continue building as she moves to the forward sensor consoles, trying to remember what she was going to scan for:: CNS: Thank you, sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Melkin:  I take it we had guests.  Or it was one hell of a party.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::scans the station for McQuade's location:: *CEO*: Ens McQuade. Can you answer?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::remembers and begins scanning the station itself for signs of damage::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Again closing his medical scanner, he stands and makes his way back to the cabinet::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Slowly moves to the sofa.::  Melkin:  You wouldn't happen to have a first aid kit someplace in here?
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::Her head snaps to McQuade in an instant, raising a haggard breath to speak, but instead she drops her gaze to her knees without a word:: <Move before McQuade's last>
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Ensign, please see if you can determine a way for us to launch probes through the outer shield around the station so we can attempt some communication with the Andromeda.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes a moment then eases himself into the sofa next to Melkin.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CNS: In theory we would have to take over the station's flight traffic center to open the doors and lower forcefields.  I know someone on station, who if we make contact may be able to open an aperture in the nebula.  Would you like me to try that first sir?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Melkin:  Funny story.  I was about fourteen and build a working aircraft.  I spent all summer doing it.  After I finished I took it up for a flight.  ::Wipes a little dried blood from his lip.::  It ended with me in the hospital and several of the buildings in town destroyed.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: I'll trust your judgment on that, Ensign. Although, there is still the question of what the hell happened, but we can answer that later.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Raises his voice slightly::  CNS: Foxx is suffering from oxygen deprivation and exposure to low temperatures.  However his physiology progressed faster and he lost consciousness in the low oxygen environment.  He should be fine in an hour or so.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Melkin:  While I could put things together to make them work.  I found I had no innate ability to operate them.  ::Snickers a bit to hide the pain.::  Of course I was not in this good of shape after that.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Thank you, Doctor. Please make him comfortable.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::Slowly looks up to McQuade, mixed emotions still upon her face, and sort of nods slightly to herself.  Slowly she unwinds herself from the couch, walking across the living room with a slight limp to kneel at a cabinet, removing a small box and returning it to the couch, offering the box to McQuade::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::has the shuttle load a micro-probe into the launcher with a pre-programed course::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes the box with a smile.::  Melkin:  Was it bad?  ::The only words that seemed to matter as he opens the box.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::checks the communications equipment.:: CNS: The transporters are fully functional correct? And communications has been established with the shuttle?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::loads the science lab's location into the transporter, then looks for the supply cupboard with the EVA suits while she waits for the answer.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: The transporters are functional and so is the communications, we just can't communicate with the ship because of the nebula.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Leaning down, he grabs the man under the arms and carefully moves him off to the side and out of the way.  Then he stands to get some blankets.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks up::CSO: And where do you think you are going?
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::After a long silence, she speaks up quietly:: CEO: They were...angry.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CNS: If I beam into that lab I can get Martins Mek to open a communications aperture in the nebula.  We should then be able to contact the Andromeda.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Is that person still in the science lab?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looking over the supplies in the box picking up what looks like a medical scanner.::  Melkin:  Clearly.  Which side do we have to thank for the beating?  ::Begins playing with the medical scanner.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CNS: The lab locked down between us. He was locked inside, I was locked outside. There is one life form in the lab. I believe that he is yes.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::Silent::
MO_Wilcox says:
:: The man as comfortable as possible in their given circumstances, he gives him a slightly different drug mixture then he gave the CSO.  This one, due to his physiological needs would act slightly slower and take longer to revive him.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::thinks for a moment:: CSO: Alright, I will let you go, but I'm pulling you back the moment I think something isn't right. Open comms channel at all times.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::begins pulling on the EVA suit, struggling with it around the robes, finally giving up and using the laser scalpel to slice the fabric to make it fit.  Otherwise she climbs into the suit with practiced ease.:: CNS: I don't expect it to take more than fifteen minutes, but give me thirty.
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Watches for a few minutes to make sure the meds take and do no harm.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Understood. Ready for transport?
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::Barely above a whisper:: CEO: ...I am sorry for the damage you took. You did not appear to be dying. I am sure your people will be able to treat you well when they recover you.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::pulls the helmet on, and dials the face plate down to full transparency as she steps to the transporters:: CNS: I would suggest preparing a burst transmission, I don't know how long the communications window will stay open, sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Understood. I'll get on that while you get that aperture open.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::nods and checks her gear, pulling a spare comm badge from the closet and slipping it into one of the suits pockets.  She dials the suits heat up somewhat to dispel the memory of the cold.:: CNS: Ready for transport sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks over to Melkin.::  Melkin:  Will they be back for you one I'm gone?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hits the controls, transporting the CSO to the labs:: MO: I'm assuming there is something wrong with McQuade's comm badge. I hope the commander get to him soon.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
ACTION: Ivara dematerializes
MO_Wilcox says:
:: Everything good, he stands up to join the others::  CNS/CSO:  You realize, the longer it takes for the station to get back to normal or get people out, the worse it is going to get for different species.  In my case, I was lucky.  Had I been further away, taken longer to get her, I would have been in more trouble.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
ACTION: Ivara rematerializes in the nebular lab. The room is dark, except for a bright, glowing area on the floor in a corner. There the body of Martinis can be seen propped against the wall, consumed by a thick coat of the glowing dust.
Host Melkin_Mek says:
::Shrugs resignedly:: CEO: Someone will.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Melkin:  Perhaps we need to do something about that.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::tilts her head slightly blinking hard at the odd transporter ride::
Host Melkin_Mek says:
