USS DON JOHNSON, NCC-61701

SD 104112.16

Occam's Razor, Part VII

SUMMARY :  In an effort to comply with the wishes of Admiral MacLeod, the Don Johnson has arrived and is in orbit above Torrel Prime.  
Their orders now, are to hand over the sphere, along with Commander Neiman, to a Shel-raya, a Cardassian.  
Shel-raya has docked her transport to Docking Port 1 on deck 8 of the DJ, and is just stepping off her ship, as we begin.  
Will the DJ get the sphere on to the Cardassian ship on time?  Or is this Cardassian dealing in some underhanded evil?  Or will it be the end of our beloved DJ?  We will just have to see won’t we..

CTO_MeganSea says:
::Standing next to the CO::
CEO_Arca says:
::turns over in his seat still asleep::
Host Shel-raya says:
::walks out of the airlock, and looks at a security guard::  Guard:  Take me to your leader.  ::smiles::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  ::Comes up behind the CO and stands beside her::
CTO_MeganSea says:
Shel-raya: This way......::leads::
Host Shel-raya says:
::follows the CTO::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::steps back onto the DJ, just inside the airlock::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Three Nausicaans remain in the docking tube.
CO_Adrel says:
::looks at the CTO and mouths "here we go":: Shel-Raya: Welcome to the Don Johnson. I'm Capt Amelia Adrel. This is my CTO, Cmdr Sea, and Cmdr Neiman, a specialist in charge of the "special project."
CTO_MeganSea says:
::nods::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  Captain.  Commander.  ::looks to Neiman::  Neiman:  Commander Neimen.  Angus speaks well of you.
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  Shel-raya:  Really, he's never mentioned you before.  Until now of course.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Cmdr, They are aboard and the Captain is speaking with them.
Host Shel-raya says:
Neiman:  We go way back.  ::smiles::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks at Santiago and nods slightly::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: So... we should proceed to the labs?
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  By all means.
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  OPS detects a reduction in reserve power.
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> ::nods back, he will remain at the airlock with Sgt. Moore and keep an eye of the Nausicaans::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Great. Now with a Cardassian and Nausicaans on the ship.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Commander, I'm reading some reserve power reductions, I'm trying to find the cause, etc why it is dropping 2% points at a time.
CO_Adrel says:
::heads towards the corridor and then the TL with everyone in tow::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: Understood.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::follows the leader::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman> Shel-raya:  We've been having some trouble keeping the stasis field strength up. I think the sphere is not as asleep as I once thought.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Gets an idea from the XO.:: XO: I'll see if I can trace it to one of their ships.
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-Raya/Neiman: And we need to get this thing off the ship before the next transmission.
CEO_Arca says:
::leans back in his chair breathing heavier::
Host Shel-raya says:
::following::  Neiman:  That's why I'm here.  I have a means to stabilize the stasis field power. 
CEO_Arca says:
::seeing the face of the dead crewman in his dream::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::listening to the conversation, slightly behind the CO and her guests, keeping an eye on them::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  Of course.  My ship is ready to take it.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::her hands move quickly over her access panel as she tries to correct the 2% power drop::
Host Shel-raya says:
::looks over at the CTO and smiles slightly, rests her hand of the butt of her disruptor::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: Will you be able to contain it?
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Timing is everything Commander and it is not on our side as of late.
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Power reserves down by 3%.
CO_Adrel says:
::enters the TL and waits for everyone to get in:: TL: Labs.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Down by 3% now Cmdr.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Self: I hate when this happens, now I have to wake up the CEO.
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  Its already contained.  I can keep it in that state.  I'd held one once before.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::arms at her side, no need to have a show of force, by placing her hand on her phaser, she's quick enough to outdraw everyone here::
OPS_C_Pino says:
::On a secure comm line::  *Engineering*: I am showing a 3% power loss in reserves can you explain?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: Lt. Arca this is serious. Please reply.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::waits for his answer::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: You did? Why is this sphere so important and dangerous?
CEO_Arca says:
::awake but still groggy:: XO/OPS: Arca here what’s happening?
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: I believe I know the cause now, Engineering should validate it though.  The lab is increasing its power need.
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  Its dangerous because of what it does when threatened.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: There is a 3% power drop in the reserves.  OPS Pino says that she might know what is happening.  I need it verified visually by you.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CEO_Arca says:
Computer: How long have I been asleep?
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Telepaths on the ship can hear disembodied voice, it repeats, "We are many."
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya/Neiman: So I guess it felt threatened on the Scarab?
Host Shel-raya says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  20 minutes, 10 seconds.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CEO*: Long enough, Chief, up and at 'em, chop chop.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: Pino says it is from the lab.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::shakes her head::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  CO:  The Scarab as a result of my mistake.
CEO_Arca says:
::hear a voice but thinks it from his lack of sleep:: Computer:  Lights.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Gets an odd feeling.::
CEO_Arca says:
*XO*: Checking standby
CO_Adrel says:
::steps off the TL and leads everyone to the lab::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks up, as she hears something almost like chanting::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  As the CO, CTO, Shel-raya and Neiman enter the main lab, they walk into a cold room.  The air is near freezing.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Whispers to the XO.:: XO: Something is not right here.
CEO_Arca says:
::stands up and heads out of his office and looks at the reading to the lab::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::stands by the door, not giving into the sensation of cold::
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman: Why is it so cold?
CEO_Arca says:
::rubs his eyes and looks at the data on display:: Computer:  What is the cause for the reserve power drop?
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  CO:  Don't know.  ::checks sensors::  Its the sphere.  Its absorbing life support energy, it’s taking the heat out of the room.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::stands and walks over to Lt. Pino::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Energy drain now 5%.
CTO_MeganSea says:
Neiman: Is it unsafe for us to remain here, the temp continues to drop.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman/Shel-raya: It seems to have a life of its own. Is it safe to move it now?
CEO_Arca says:
*XO*: Commander I'm reading a 5 percent power drop heading to the lab now to find out why.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: What is going on.  The  drain is now at 5%.
Host Shel-raya says:
CTO:  It’s going to get a lot colder.  CO:  Captain, we have to move this thing...  Now.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: I see that can you pinpoint where in the lab it is coming from.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: I do not know, commander.  I'm having trouble isolating it further.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::is all for moving the sphere, it's endangering the ship and crew::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: It won't feel threatened?
Host Shel-raya says:
::walks up to the sphere, looks at it inside the containment vessel::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  It’s toying with us.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman/Shel-raya: If you are sure it's safe to move it now, then do so before we can't breathe!
CEO_Arca says:
::heads over to the turbo lift:: *XO*: I have the computer checking my findings but it has got to be the new toy that we picked up.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: I agree, I can hear its voices in my head.  "We are the many"
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  The voices grow louder to the telepaths, repeating the same thing over and over.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: I agree Lt.  ::shakes head::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::staggers slightly::
CEO_Arca says:
::grabs a tricorder and enters the command to the close TL exit to the lab::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::knees buckle::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  ::works some controls::  All:  I'll try to set up a site-to-site transport.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: They are many? ::looks at Neiman and Shel-raya::
Host Shel-raya says:
Neiman:  NO!
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: We must get this off the ship......now!
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Commander, I believe that this power drop may be correlated with this increasing feeling and sensation of uneasiness.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks at Neiman:: Neiman: it's not safe!
CEO_Arca says:
::covers his hears to stop the voices::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: How do you want to transport it if not with transport?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: Try to block it.
Host Shel-raya says:
::looks to the CTO::  CTO:  Relax, human.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks at Shel-raya, her eyes steady::
Host Shel-raya says:
Neiman:  We'll have to move it to my ship.  Transporting it would breach the stasis field.
CO_Adrel says:
ALL: Let's calm down. Shel-raya: How do we move it?
CEO_Arca says:
::closes his eyes and shuts out the voices::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  Got anti-gravs?
CTO_MeganSea says:
::enforces her mental shields::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Power drain now approaching 8%.  
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::closes her eyes and concentrates in harmony with her companion and pet as his strength lends to her own and the voices become silent::
CEO_Arca says:
*CTO/XO*: Commanders please tell me that you hear voices and I’m not losing my mind
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CEO* You're not alone.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: Yes we do as well.
CEO_Arca says:
::steps out of the TL holding his head trying to keep the voices out::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  My assistants can take it to my ship if you'll allow them.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CEO*: Those "voices" you hear are what are giving me my senses.  Are they stronger in the lab?
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: Yes, we do......
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Temp in the lab is now well below freezing, there is frost forming on the walls and consoles.
CTO_MeganSea says:
Shel-raya: Your assistants being?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: Sir I hate to interrupt but we have been registering a constant power drain from the reserves.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: Can you send one of your men get up anti-gravs ::shivers::
CO_Adrel says:
*XO*: Can you pinpoint the source?
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: Temperatures are now well below freezing.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::nods:: CO: consider it done.
CO_Adrel says:
ALL: We should get out of the lab or we'll freeze to death. ::points to the door::
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Lt.Jg Maloney> :;arrives outside the lab with several  anti-grav devices::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: It  has to do with the lab sir.  If it remains constant it will disrupt the ship I am afraid.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::steps outside::
Host Shel-raya says:
CO:  I'm not partial to cold myself.
CO_Adrel says:
*XO*: Aye.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Commander if we need to jettison the cargo, I could but it may take half the deck with it and disable us for a short time.  However, if we keep it aboard it could permanently disable us.  ::Continues to have uncomfortable feelings.::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: The anti-grav's have arrived.  ::takes one from Lt.Jg Maloney::
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: Can we speed things up. You have the anti-gravs now. Have your men take care of this thing fast. Not that I don't like you, but I don't like that sphere.
CO_Adrel says:
::steps outside the lab as she can't stop shivering::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: No not yet.  This mission must succeed at all costs.
Host Shel-raya says:
::taps her communicator::  *GOR*:  Gor, I need you here now.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: I understand Cmdr, as a last resort however.
Host Shel-raya says:
<GOR>  Santiago:  Human, take me to your lab.  Now, human.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::taps her comm:: *Santiago*: Escort Gor to our location.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
OPS: And that is only on the captains orders.
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> *CTO* : Aye, we're on our way.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: I can't wait for this ball to get off our ship.
CTO_MeganSea says:
<Santiago> ::leads Gor towards the lab::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Power reserves down by 10%.
CEO_Arca says:
::leaning against the wall just in view of the lab::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  The sphere begins to radiate tachyons and neutrinos.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::Santiago and Gor take the TL down to the lab level::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
Self: This is not good at all.
Host Shel-raya says:
Neiman:  We're running out of time.
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: Perhaps Sick Bay can provide some sort of neurogenic block in the mean time to those who are most susceptible to this alien object of presence.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::Santiago and Gor arrive just around the corner from the lab, their footsteps can be heard::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Santiago and Gor arrive in the lab.  
CTO_MeganSea says:
::glances at Santiago, giving him a silent signal::
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::senses are beginning turn towards danger::
Host Shel-raya says:
<GOR>  Walks over to Shel-raya, and activates the anti-grav.  The containment vessel lifts off the deck.
CEO_Arca says:
::struggles closer and closer to the lab door:: *OPS*:The voices are about the same as when I first heard them.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CEO*: Consistent yes?
CTO_MeganSea says:
::to self:: Focus.......on the job at hand, don't listen to the voices.
CEO_Arca says:
*OPS*: Yes and very annoying.
CEO_Arca says:
*Bridge*: I have reached the lab.
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>::switches the containment vessel to internal power::  CO:  The stasis field will remain in place for 5 minutes on internal power.  
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: If I were to suggest if these voices were from assimilated species would you tend to agree?
Host Shel-raya says:
GOR:  Move. 
CTO_MeganSea says:
::looks at the CEO::
Host Shel-raya says:
::starts to push the vessel::
CEO_Arca says:
::leaning against the wall next to the lab door and opens his tricorder::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CEO: Are you unwell? You look ill.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CEO*: Focus on the job and tasks at hand Chief.
CO_Adrel says:
Shel-raya: Aye. ::stays quiet as she looks at what is going on::
CEO_Arca says:
*XO*:Could be it reminds me of the Borg in some way but this could be a way of saying hello to them.
CEO_Arca says:
*OPS*: Acknowledge
CTO_MeganSea says:
::walks over to the CEO:: CEO: Are you alright?
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  CO:  Captain.  Once we get that thing transferred, if we can't stabilize the stasis field, you might want to make yourselves scarce.
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  The voice now repeats only one word.  "Legion."
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: I agree it is similar to what.......you hear only one word now that repeats?
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman: Will do.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: The sphere's message has changed, I think something terrible is going to happen.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: What does it say now?
CEO_Arca says:
::looks at the  tricorder and then the CTO::  *CTO*: I'll be alright nothing a few hours of sleep won't fix.
XO_Lt_Cmdr_Shemara says:
::senses the CEO's emotions::  *CEO*: Arca are you alright??
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: It's saying "Legion."
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Gor uses all his strength to push the containment vessel through the corridors of the DJ, finally reaching the docking port
CEO_Arca says:
*XO*: I'll survive commander.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::touches the CEO on the shoulder:: CEO: I'm right in front of your face, you don't need to comm me.
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman> CTO:  Legion.
CTO_MeganSea says:
Neiman: Aye, Legion
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman> CTO:  Legion? You said legion?
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Starts tapping her foot in unconscious rhythm.::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman> Self:  Mmmmmm, interesting.
CTO_MeganSea says:
Neiman: Yes, what part of my answer didn't you understand?
CEO_Arca says:
CTO: Sorry commander it’s been a long couple of days
OPS_C_Pino says:
::It is almost chant like.::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Suddenly the voices stop.
CEO_Arca says:
CO: Captain maybe we can try to talk to it telepathically.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CEO: Follow and monitor the sphere to the other ship.................:;stops as she hears "silence"::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: It's stopped, ::afraid::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CEO: Not a good idea.....
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman: Know why it said Legion?
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Her foot taps one last time like a thud and she looks around the room.::  XO: I don't feel anything Commander.  ::Looking surprised.::
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  The sphere suddenly emits a bright pulse of light, the envelopes the entire ship in a bluish light for a period of 10 seconds.  Internal sensors read the emission as a high intensity scan.
CEO_Arca says:
::looks at the probe then his tricorder::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::swears::
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman> CO:  No Captain, of course not.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::covers eyes:::
CEO_Arca says:
::cover his eyes::
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Tries to get an analysis of the scan.::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: Captain, I can't see you, are you alright?
OPS_C_Pino says:
XO: That appears to be a high intensity scan.  It’s looking at everything....
CEO_Arca says:
::looks over the data on his tricorder:: CTO: We were just scanned
CTO_MeganSea says:
::pulls her phaser::
Host Shel-raya says:
<GOR>  ::pushes the sphere into the docking tube, and into Shel-raya's freighter.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CEO: Interesting.........
Host Shel-raya says:
::looks at the CTO and draws her disruptor::  CTO:  Hey, easy now!
CTO_MeganSea says:
Shel-raya: Don't tell me to take it easy.........I know my job.
CO_Adrel says:
::blinks a few times to help her regain her composure:: Neiman/Shel-raya: What just happened? And stop lying. You are putting us all in danger.
Host Shel-raya says:
<GOR>  ::takes the sphere to the hold, and begins to hook up power feeds to the containment vessel::
Host Shel-raya says:
CTO:  Really?  What are you going to do, shoot it.
CTO_MeganSea says:
Shel-raya: No, protect my Captain.
Host Shel-raya says:
<Neiman>  CO:  Captain?
CEO_Arca says:
::yawns and continues scanning::
Host Shel-raya says:
::rolls her eyes as she steps into the docking tube::  CO:  Captain.  It’s been a pleasure.  Neiman:  Commander, I'll need you below.
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman: What did the sphere just do and what does legion mean? You are putting us all in danger, you know that?
CO_Adrel says:
::lies:: Shel-raya: Likewise.
Host Shel-raya says:
ACTION:  Power reserve drain begins to slow.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: I have a feeling this is all just a prelude to some buildup............
Host Shel-raya says:
@::boards her ship, and disappears down a bulkhead::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: The sooner we disengage from their ship, the better.
Host Neiman says:
CO:  Captain, I bid you fair well.  ::smiles::
CTO_MeganSea says:
:;pulls her security teams back::
CO_Adrel says:
Neiman: Good luck.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Notes the reserves building back slowly.:: *CEO*: It was the alien device.  Reserves are returning to normal levels and my sensations have gone.
CEO_Arca says:
::close his tricorder:: Computer: Status on power reserves?
CTO_MeganSea says:
Neiman: What shall we do with the rest of your equipment?
Host Neiman says:
::turns and crosses the tube to the other ship.  The airlock hatches close.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: Yeah, I don't like it more than you do. But at least it's off our ship.
CEO_Arca says:
*OPS*: Acknowledge thanks for the update
Host Neiman says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  Energy reserves are currently holding at 89% of maximum.  Energy levels beginning to rise.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::knows what she'll do with it and leaves the airlock and heads back to the bridge::
CO_Adrel says:
*XO*: Cmdr, as soon as the Cardassian freighter is gone, have the FCO set a course to SB 219 and get us out of here ASAP.
CEO_Arca says:
Self: That’s what I want to hear
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: After you.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  Cardassian freighter requests permission to disengage from DJ.
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: Thank you. Good work with your teams there. As always, Cmdr.
CEO_Arca says:
CO: Excuse me captain there is a bed with my name on it.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: Thank you, Ma'am.
CO_Adrel says:
CEO: Yes, go, Lt. You need it and deserve it.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CO*: Um Captain the XO stepped away from the bridge for a moment, I will forward your orders if you wish.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CEO: Dream well, get some rest.
CO_Adrel says:
::sniffs:: CTO: I think I caught a cold in that freezing lab.
CEO_Arca says:
::nods his head CO/CTO: Thank you sir.
CO_Adrel says:
*OPS*: Make it so, Lt.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  The freighter disengages and begins to move away. The FCO engages impulse engines and begins to put some distance away.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Releases the Cardassian ship from dock.::
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: I have a recipe for a remedy for that cold.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CO*: Aye.
CEO_Arca says:
::walks up to the closed TL and wait for the doors to open::
CO_Adrel says:
CTO: Hot milk with a dash of nutmeg? That's what I use to tell my patients back in my doctor times.
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: No Ma'am........a hot toddy with some Jamaican Rum.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  Alarms suddenly sound on the bridge.  A massive gravity well is forming...  from within the Cardassian Freighter.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::runs towards the TL and holds it for the CO::
CEO_Arca says:
::doors open and he tells the computer to engineering::
Host Neiman says:
ACITON:  The DJ begins to shake.
CO_Adrel says:
::enters the TL:: CTO: What now?
CTO_MeganSea says:
TL: Bridge, emergency override!
CO_Adrel says:
*OPS*: Report!
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: No idea........but I have a bad feeling.......
CTO_MeganSea says:
::the TL slows and the doors part::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::rushes out onto the bridge::
Host Neiman says:
<FCO>  OPS:  This gravity well is distorting space.  I can’t form a warp field.
CEO_Arca says:
::hears the alarm and feels the TL shake:: *Bridge*: This is Arca what is going on
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CO*: It’s a graviton wave inside the Cardassian ship.  I'm trying to hail them.
CTO_MeganSea says:
:;runs to her console and brings up the sensors::
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  Hails go unanswered.
CO_Adrel says:
*OPS*: Get us away from the Cardassian ship!
CO_Adrel says:
::exits the TL and heads to her chair::
OPS_C_Pino says:
FCO: Full reverse, power to thrusters.  Get us moving son.
OPS_C_Pino says:
FCO: As far away as possible.
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  Suddenly, through the main view screen, all on the bridge witness the freighter collapsing in on itself, consumed by a micro-singularity.  
CO_Adrel says:
ALL: I wonder if it's the sphere exploding or something.
CTO_MeganSea says:
::confirms the formation of a micro-singularity::
CEO_Arca says:
::doors open and he does his best to get to his station::
Host Neiman says:
FCO:  Full power, I'm at full power.  We're caught near the event horizon.  I need more.
OPS_C_Pino says:
*CO*: No answer to the hails,  I suspect they've had an over load from the alien device.
CO_Adrel says:
ALL: Or imploding.... Report!
CTO_MeganSea says:
CO: Apparently it did..............imploded.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Tries to get life signs on the Cardassian ship.::
Host Neiman says:
ACTION:  The micro-singularity begins to consume Torrel Prime.  The vibrations on the DJ continue to worsen.
OPS_C_Pino says:
::Tries to hail the Nausicaans ship.::
CTO_MeganSea says:
::shields holding..............we need to put more distance between us and it::
CEO_Arca says:
::pulls up all major systems and notices the stress on the ship::
CTO_MeganSea says:
*CEO*:  More power! ::grunts::
CO_Adrel says:
OPS: Give the FCO more power we need to get away as fast as possible.
Host Neiman says:
OPS:  We're starting to slip backwards...  I need more power.  *CEO*:  Engineering, need more power to the impulse engines, now!
CEO_Arca says:
*CTO*: Where do  you want the power?
Host Neiman says:
