USS Don Johnson
Mission 157
“The USS Sunrise”
SD 10508.18

Summary:  We join our little crew as they take stock of just what happened and how badly their beloved ship is damaged.  Ideas have been flying as well as have been anger at the loss of life.  These creatures seem bent on destroying all life on the Don Johnson.  Will they succeed or not?  Will the crew find a solution or something else to stop the onsalught  of these Shadow’s?  Watch and see as they resume their heroics.

Resume USS Don Johnson "The USS Sunrise" 10508.18
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The bridge smells of burnt circuits and panels as damage control struggles to repair the battle damage, the evil creatures are 1 hour away.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
::sitting in the chair::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::gets back to his station:: CO: Commander I may have a suggestion.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A white flash fills the main viewer as the drifting left warp engine explodes into a million pieces sending warp plasma into the local space.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: Of course.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
::shields eyes:: All: What the blazes?
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::covers his eyes and waits for the light to dim::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Cmdr, I suggest we attempt to open diplomatic means with these aliens.  Obviously we know not who they are and they really don't know who we are.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CNS: Counselor those things killed half of my team for no reason. Then probably attack this ship.
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::blinks, and tries to cover his eyes while at the same time working on finding his way to the primary tactical station::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Then we need to vacate this area and set up warning buoys.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Ma'am I say we destroy those things and get out of here
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: I do understand but right now need to know one thing.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: What is that?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Lt Pino, do you have the requested information I asked for.
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::checks his console when his vision clears, trying to see what still works::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks at his console as the damage reports starts to come in::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: I have been working on a theory and if the CNS has the information then I can proceed into the next step.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
All: I believe that this or these entities are just and hallucination.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Information from that time period is limited.  Records were not kept in the best of conditions. ::Sends to her console what little information regarding the Sunrise that is available.::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks at his console upset::
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::just shakes his head as he stares at his console::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
ALL: Here me out before any of you jump.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CEO: Perhaps we can blind them using the deflector?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
ALL: I believe that these things are a figment of our own minds and that was accomplished when the CEO and his team were onboard the Sunrise.  I believe that there is some kind of clear colorless and odorless gas that was used.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Taps her computer console to order a set of scans of the CO and display them on her console.::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Are you suggesting a Dal Rock of some kind Cmdr?
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Ma'am that doesn't explain the Sunrise acting against this ship and not responding to commands.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Yes something on that order.  I believe that somewhere before the Klingons and the Romulan ever boarded her.  I believe that something else took over the ship and was using it as an experiment.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The USS Sunrise drifts outside the main viewer.
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::shifts uncomfortably in his seat, and waits for a lull in the conversation:: CO: Whatever it is we're dealing with, they hurt us pretty bad. Photon torpedoes are unresponsive. Phasers... aren't much better.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Warp drive is impossible and the core is at 50%. Main engineering is heavily damage and we have hull ruptures
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
TO: Ensign come here.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: That is an understatement of the damage we have sustained.
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::raises an eyebrow, and heads for the CEO::
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::comes up beside the CEO and tries to get a look at what he's looking at:: CEO: What did you need, chief?
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
TO: I have an idea but I need to know if you think you could do it. I think if we vent plasma from the nacelle and get those creatures in it. Then light the plasma to cause and explosion.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: Since we can't generate a stable warp field, lets see if we at least can do something with a generated shield that might be able to block these what ever you wish to call them out of our minds and ship.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Cmdr, if you're saying what I think you are saying, where is your proof?
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::looks thoughtful a moment:: CEO: If I could be sure we could get out of the way fast enough I'd say it's worth a shot. But as it stands now? Doubtful.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Once again.:: All: What about using the deflector?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Yes Lt. the Deflector, your suggestion?
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: I would like to commander but they don't  even show up on sensors. I don't know what to block yet.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Have you found more on what ever this mind trick is?
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
CEO: In short, if we do it, you'd best be able to step on it. Or they won't be the only ones lighting up like a Christmas tree.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
ALL: We need to do something fast if the lightening doesn't get us those creatures will.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
TO: I'm using this as a last resort but I just want to let you know what I was thinking.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Past encounters with beings of this sort were stunned when using Deflector pulses.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Shuttles. They have long-range communications and warp. Plus weaponry.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Pulls the data from the autopsies performed and reads in big bold type loss of neurotransmitters.::
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
CEO: I'm aware of that, sir. And as a last resort we'd best find some impulse power at least. Because if we pull this off we're going to have to scram. Real fast.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Ok so I need something that we can generate to shield all of the neuro transmissions, something like a neuro transmitter blocker for the entire ship.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Contacts medical and has them set up a method of protecting neuro transmitters.::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
TO: We have full impulse let’s just hope if it comes down to that it’s enough.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
ALL: Or at least block all our neural transmissions without letting us collapse.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Cmdr medical has just advised of a potential possibility.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: You might try to get the RCS fusion reactors to help give it a nudge.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Waits until she has the CO's full attention before she tells her medicals idea.::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: How about this, lets try to use the hologram program to mask our own bio signatures?
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Well sort of, it does involve using the holo programs.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::starts to press quickly on this console::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Well let’s get to work on that hologram program while the CEO and TO work on the other aspect of the plan.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Commander I think I got something.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
::looks at the CEO::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Goes right next to the CO.:: CO: Cmdr, I believe you should hear medicals idea before choosing your plan of action.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: Hold on that for a moment.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: What does medical have to say????
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::continues to write the program for the shields::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The evil, treacherous shadow monsters are 45 minutes away, their glowing red eyes shed a fiendish glow against their ebony bodies and the dark of space
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Cmdr they recommend placing the crew in medical stasis where the neuro transmitter levels are essentially shut down and have the essential areas of starship command manned by holograms or your own specific computer program.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
::looks at the view screen and sees these images coming towards the Don Johnson::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::hears the CNS and stops working and looks over at her::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Yes I have heard about that before, but do you trust the computer in this instance????
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::pulls up a seat at a secondary console, and runs through a diagnostic to see just how much shields they have to work with::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: In this case remember that the computer of the Sunrise was tampered with.  The same might happen here.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
TO: How are the tactical systems?
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::looks back at his console and starts to finish his work::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Doubtful if the CEO can indeed rig the shields to not allow any neurotransmitters that the aliens are carrying through the shields or them back out.
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Another option is to release some engineered neuro transmitters into their path to satisfy them. ::Shrugs.::
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::tilts his head faintly to one side:: CEO/CO: Iffy on the tactical systems, sirs. Can't guarantee anything'll work with any degree of reliability.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: Can you do this???
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
ALL: We are running out of time.  We have to do something quick.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
::hears the CNS and her suggestion and turns head::
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Correction ma'am you have to pick something quick.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Can it be done for them to be satisfied long enough for us to try and get away from them???
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Anything is possible.  ::Shrugs.::  Do you want medical to prepare some to test?
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Yes by all means and quickly.  You might also just let medical know that I am thinking of your previous idea of the stasis chambers as well.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The monsters approach, some of them appear to be transparent almost beings made of pure energy
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CEO: Yes I would say so, ::seeing them coming closer to the ship::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Sends a message to medical to prepare the genetic engineered neuro transmitter samples in a dispersion capsule and load it into a torpedo bay for manual launch and also tells them to standby for stasis chambers if needed as a last resort per the CO's orders. CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Any time you are ready please.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
::hopes the CNS plan works::
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
~~~Imzadi:  I am sure it will work.  It has to work.~~~~
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
TO: Medical reports they are ready the need help loading the capsule in the torpedo bay for manual launch.
TO_ENS_McArthur says:
::inclines his head faintly:: CNS: Guess I've been drafted hm? ::is already heading for the TL::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
::Once the TO and the medical staff get the thing loaded and out the CNS gets some results.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Shadows take the bait begin to feed on the samples they pause while consuming it
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
Self:  Blast this psionic block I can't even talk to my own husband mind wise.  ::slams fist on chair::
CNS_C_Pino_PhD says:
CO: Results in the positive Captain.  I suggest we leave this area and set up warning buoys.
CO_Cmdr_Shemara Arca says:
CNS: Agreed do it.
CEO_Lt_Arca says:
CO: Commander since we have time I'm going to help my teams
