FCO/CTO : We need to initiate fir-re supr-ression.

Scenario:  The turbolift shaft is hazy with light smoke.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
FCO: Lieutenant, my quarters are on this deck.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: moves to a panel still trying to get her eyes to focus, taps in commands for fire suppression:: 
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Take care of the bridge until I get back.
CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::goes and gets his medkit::

ACTION:  Nothing happens other then people panicking.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Takes a deep breath and heads down another level:: CO: Captain, which level do you want to get off?
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir....  ::coughs a little as smoke continues to come in::
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
OPS: If you can’t get the suppression working go with the CTO to get his medkit, you need some help. ::turns to the group on the deck::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::finds the nearest access crawlway to go down the remaining way to engineering::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Follows the CIV::  CIV:  Lets get as close to the smoke origin point as possible.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::yells outloud to everyone that can hear him on the deck:: ALL: Listen! The turbo lifts are not working, if we cant find away off this deck in 5 minutes, everyone is to proceed to the escape pods on this level and evacuate to prevent asphyxiation.
CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::comes back to the main room where the FCO and OPS are::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: removes a panel and begins to bypass main computer to the back up, the fur on her fingers covered with soot :: FCO :: R-r-routing :: coughs::

ACTION:  Sickbay quickly fills with smoke inhalation victims.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::climbs out of the access way and into Main engineering::  ALL: Report!!!!  What the devil is going on??????
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CO: Aye.  ::Looks down and checks where the smoke is bellowing out::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::yells up the tunnel to the CSO::  CSO:  Lt. Taylor, can you hear me?
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: Standing near the lifts watching the bridge...hoping that everything will be ok::

ACTION:  People here the FCO's words to escape pod and head out, not hearing the five-minute part.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::runs to the main control board and her hands fly over the keys::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::hears something and leans into the lift::  CO: Yes sir...
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
CTO: One of us should use an access port to the engine room, and the other one to the bridge . . if we can.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Are you ok?
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
All:  I want alert red Condition Three NOW!!!!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: feels dizzy her fingers fall from the panel, she looks around her tail drooping sadly ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Have the crew on the bridge begin working on the COMM systems and the fire suppression systems....as soon as you get the comm’s working, contact SB and request assistance.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Aye sir!
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::moves to OPS to hold her steady:: OPS: Hold it, your going to be ok.

ACTION:  Smoke hangs heavily in the air.  Most people are swarming towards the escape pods, bending over to breathe.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Self:  Augusfratt, most of the systems are shut down, Computer Main core is down, Fires in the access way and the fire suppression systems are down.  Geez I just got the ship put together and this happens.  No way! Something is not right.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  What do you see Major?
CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
FCO: You go Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
:: Pans around to the crew members on the bridge:: ALL: Ok everyone...we need the COMM and fire suppression system back online.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
CTO: Get her on an escape pod if you can’t stabilize her condition.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to focus standing rather wobbly and moves off to help launch escape pods manually ::

ACTION:  The ship’s lights begin to dim.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
OPS: Sit down, please.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
CO: Smoke, A lot of it.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::reenters his quarters and gathers his tricorder and holsters it, type 2 phaser and holsters it then grabs his emergency hand light beacon and activates it, moves towards the JT::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Beta Team: Proceed to fire suppression station and manually turn them on.  Alpha Team: Go to your damage control stations.  Gamma Team: Get into the Main computer core and find out manually what is going on.  Zeta Team: Get to communications and get the comms back up pronto.
Science_Team says:
  CSO: Aye sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shakes her head:: CTO : Get the escape pods launched.  :: coughs and moves on ::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::watched as the lights dim...and moves quickly to begin work ::

ACTION:  Escape pods begin to leave the ship.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Ens. Spanner: Son if you have any ideas now is the time to spit them out.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::scratches the idea of JT an moves towards the flight deck::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::begins to cross circuits to engage the secondary computer core:
CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::walks out into the corridor and goes to launch the EP's::
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::reaches the flight deck and uses the manual actuator to open the door, goes inside::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::watches as the three crew men begin to try and fix the systems...::
Ens_Spanner says:
CEO: Ma'am, I think we need to find where the source of the interruption is.
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Ens. Spanner: Good boy, take a team and trace the problem back from here.  Let me know what you find.

Scenario:  Soon many of the escape pods have left the ship.  The command crew, medical and those people with them, and the engineering staff are all that remain.  There is an eerie silence to the ship.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::reaches the runabout he just arrived in and enters the 'Rouge'::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Self: I do not like this quietness at all and the mere idea of not being able to communicate with my teams is frustrating.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: crawls into an escape pod, tries to launch and emergency transponder from the pod itself ::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::begins to pull some coils to try and gets some form of power to the computers::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::senses that all but the command staff is not onboard::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::concentrating on the Senior staff she picks up each ones emotions:: Self: Ah, at least they are here and alive.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CIV:  Go to engineering and see if you can help.  I am going to head back to the bridge and work from there...
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Pulls the manual for deck 6:: CO: Aye Captain.  ::Climbs in::
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::powers up the runabout and its sensors, begins to scan the Claymore::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Self: Patrick, please be careful.  ::concentrates harder and whishes that Patrick could read her thoughts again.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::turns and heads back to the bridge::

ACTION:  OPS pod remains, jammed.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
Bridge Crew: Anything?  ::looks to the crew as they reply with no progress::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::exits the hole onto the bridge:: CSO:  Anything yet?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: flips the manual release lever and again tries to launch an emergency transponder ::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Nothing but a few shocks sir.   Still trying though.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks over to the Engineering station::  CSO:  Lets see if the COMM system is even getting power...::taps in some commands and looks at the results::
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::continues to attempt to scan the Claymore:: Computer: Are the Runabouts transporters functional?

ACTION:  OPS pod begins to shudder as it tries to eject from the ship.

CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::continues to pull a few coils hoping to get some form of power::
Computer says:
 FCO: Transporters are functional.
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::looks to Ens. Woodson::  Ens. Woodson: Since there is no comm’s I have to make my way to the bridge and tell the captain of what is going on.  You have engineering.  If you have to you are ordered to engage code Alpha Gamma,  9847, Beta.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: exits the POD sealing the door and setting it to self-destruct at a safe distance from the ship, hoping that will make someone take notice ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: hits the manual eject button, the emergency transponder blinking to life as it is launched ::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
::splices a few of the coils...feels a slight buzz and looks over to the CO:: CO: Anything?
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::heads out of engineering and crawls up the jefferies tubes till she meets up with Ens. Spanner who gives her the report of what he found::  CEO: Ma'am, it is a mess it is sabotage ma'am.  Clear and simple.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::finds a comm badge that’s specific to the runabouts COMM system and attempts to beam it onto the science station on the bridge::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Nothing Lt. Keep trying to get power to them.  I am going to try and isolate the reason for the malfunction.

ACTION:  The runabout’s combadge is beamed to the bridge.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Ens. Spanner: Well son, get started with the computer back up systems and the fire suppressions systems and then the comm systems. And please do it fast son.  We don't have much time.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir.
Ens_Spanner says:
 CEO: Understood ma'am.  You can always count on me to do my best.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
::taps combadge:: Bridge: This is Lt. Theron, can anyone hear me? Is anyone on the bridge?
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
Ens. Spanner: Yes, son I know. Keep going now.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: prays someone picks up their distress call, sits unsteadily on the deck ::
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
FCO: Yes we hear you.
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::continues to crawl up to  the bridge access hatch on the starboard side of the bridge and exits::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
::pulls her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on her knees, feeling drained ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*:This is Randolph...go ahead Lt.
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
CO: Captain, It is not good at all down there.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Crawls down to engineering::
CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
::waits patiently for him to finish with the FCO::
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
*CSO/CO*: Its good to hear your voice Alex, I am on a Runabout, its unaffected by what ever is happening.  I have communications, transporters and sensors, I ordered the group on deck 6 to evacuate, there was no way off the deck and the smoke was getting too thick.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Thank god you all got to safety.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  What the hell is going on with my ship Ensign?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Order him to contact the SB and request immediate assistance...
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Looks around engineering:: Yell: Where is everyone?
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Ye, sir.
CSO_Lt_Taylor says:
*FCO*: Kayle...contact the SB and request immediate assistance.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
*CSO*: Understood.  ::taps a few commands and attempts to contact SB421A:: COMM:SB421A: This is the USS Claymore, do you read?

ACTION:  The smoke slowly begins to dissipate.

CEO_Ens_J`Loni_Randolph says:
CO: Sir, it was sabotage.  My EO has traced the problem back to the source and it is definitely sabotage.  The entire ODN and EPS conduits to the main computer core are down.
SB421A_says:
 COMM: Claymore: We can read you.  How can we help you?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: coughs deep in her chest, her breathing labored,::

ACTION:  A medical officer finds Lt. Chaser and gently lifts her, taking her to medical.  Other teams sweep the silent ship.

FCO_Lt_Theron says:
COMM: SB421A: Unsure of the cause but we have lost main power and begun to evacuate due to heavy congestion in the life support system, we request assistance as soon as possible please.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to protest being taken away, but succumbs quickly ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Hold on a second...*FCO*: Randolph to Theron...
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
*CO*: Go ahead Captain, I am in communication with SB421A.
SB421A_says:
    COMM:  Claymore:  Acknowledged.  The USS Sandaval is on its way.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
COMM: SB421A: Acknowledged and appreciated 421A, Claymore out.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
*CO*: Sir, the Sandaval is being dispatched.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Lt., inform the starbase that the Claymore has been sabotaged.  We have no idea if the saboteur is still onboard.  The person could be on the SB or other ships.
FCO_Lt_Theron says:
*CO*: Understood.  ::reopens the channel and relays the information to SB 421A::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
::Shakes his head, and looks at the console by the engineering, and hits the Comm:: *Bridge*: This is Major McClure, Engineering is empty.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: curls herself into a ball tuning out the world ::
CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::heaves a sigh of relief::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*BRIDGE*:  Help is on the way but lets keep working until they get here.

ACTION:  Engineering is able to get the back up computer online.  As energy surges through the ship, the main screen comes online.  Instead of an area filled with escape pods, all that is seen is the glowing stars of the system.
