Mission Summary:  10911.19

The USS Don Johnson is now in Federation Space, having returned with a small delegation from a Delta Quadrant species who are seeking to learn more of the Federation and perhaps form some sort of treaty or trade arrangement.

Little is known of this species, and it has come to their surprise that some feed on energy rather than traditional means of nourishment.  

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::hits the chime on the door to guest quarters and motions toward the weapons store:: EO: I don't know what to expect in there, make a note it's there.

EO Echoshoe says:
EO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::exits lift and heads to her station.  Nods at TO_Norris as he moves to TAC2::

Host L`luz says:
::briefly growls deep in his throat before taking a deep breath and answering the door::  EO: What?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::enters main engineering, moves directly to the master control console::  EO_Reese:  Reese, you got anything on this power drain?

ACTION:  Power levels throughout the ship stabilize.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
L`luz: There has been an unauthorized draw on the USS Don Johnson's power grid, you are either the cause of it or are in danger.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::notes the alerts on his padd as the ship's power grid returns to normal::

EO Reese says:
CEO: Just the location, nothing on a cause.  We were able to compensate with energy reserves.

Host L`luz says:
::stare blankly at Garlingus:: EO: We are in no danger here.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Hello, Commander.  Make sure that Starfleet Command is made aware that we would like to establish relations with this species.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::works controls::  EO_Reese:  I want a cause.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
L`luz: I would like to enter the room and inspect any damage that may be in the room. ::taps at his padd::

D’Lar says:
::approaches the guest quarters behind Garlingus:: EO: Please do.

Host L`luz says:
::growls low:: EO: There is no need.  ::glares at D'lar"::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::spots D'lar over his shoulder and hears her remarks:: D'lar: Thank you.  L`luz: Please step aside so my engineer and I may conduct our inspection.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps a command in and sends the message to Command about establishing relations::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::taps com badge:: *EO*: MacLeod to Garlingus.  Status?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Message away Captain

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Thank you, Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Any bets on how long they take to reply?  ::shows a small grin::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CEO*: Just reached the guest quarters sir, standing by to enter and inspect for any damage to our systems.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::adds quickly:: CO: Ma'am

Host L`luz says:
::shakes head slightly then steps aside to allow the engineers to enter::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Probably not long.  ::grins at the protocol oversight::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*: Acknowledged, keep my apprised.  MacLeod out.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods to L`luz and steps inside immediately headed toward the replicator:: Echoshoe: Check the facilities.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::accesses the power allocation logs, looking for anything unusual::

EO Echoshoe says:
Garlingus: Aye sir. ::heads into the bathroom::

ACTION:  The engineers find DNA from their guests within the replicator, but no evidence of equipment damage.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Covers a small laugh:: CO: True.  They're usually pretty quick when it comes to new species, Ma'am

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: That they are.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::grins and checks her board.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant.  The power surge we just had was caused by one of our guests feeding off the energy.  Can you formulate a safe way for them to feed without draining our power?

D’Lar says:
::shakes her head at L'luz:: EO: Our feeding will not damage your equipment, though I see over-feeding is immediately detected.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
Self: Humm... ::turns to the guests:: L`luz\D'lar: This is extremely dangerous, drawing power directly off our equipment can be a hazard to yourselves and the ship.  You could have come to us with this, you’ve seen the Captain can be very accommodating.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Feeding off the ship's energy?  

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO": Yes, at least one of them uses energy for food.  Can you help out?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant MacLeod, the source of the power drain was the replicator in the guest's quarters.  One of our guests "plugged" in.

Host L`luz says:
::slowly walks toward Garlingus:: 

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*: Yes Captain, I can install a power tap with a frequency modulator directly in their quarters and tie it into the EPS mains.

D’lar says:
::shakes her head at L'luz:: L'luz: Not now.

Host L`luz says:
::bows slightly::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::stands up straight and signals to Echoshoe::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Please do, and thank you.

EO Echoshoe says:
::slips out of the guests’ quarters and returns with a holstered phaser::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::listens to the bridge noise as she goes about her duties::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
L`luz: Is there a problem?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  I was just told that by the Captain.  How about installing a modulated power tap for them.  It will allow them to, I guess consume energy without having to siphon it from a system that can't handle the consumption rate.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Comes to in sickbay::  MO Rec Tal: What happened to me?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Aye sir, I’ll look into it just as soon as I am able. ::looks back at L`luz intently:: 

MO Rec Tal says:
CSO: Great! You are back from the dead.  You just had a bad case of Rigelian Sonoma Fever is all.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Consumes energy?  Weird.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  Join Starfleet, see the universe, and experience the unexpected.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
MO: Am I free to return to duty then?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Anything on sensors interesting, or are we just cruising along unbothered?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I bet that will raise a few eyebrows back at Command

Cadet Maline says:
*Sickbay* Sickbay, anyone, Help...I think he's dead...I just found him I'm near the holodecks, I found him here...not moving.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Yes it would.

MO Rec Tal says:
CSO: Not yet.  I want to run some more tests on you first, but the Captain did want to know when you regained consciousness.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at her board::  CO: Normal traffic, Captain

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::keeps his eyes on L`luz and taps at his padd a bit using his peripheral vision and begins to speak slowly:: Echoshoe: Perhaps ... we can tap into ... this power node here, and install a circuit breaker to prevent over whelming the main power grid. 

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Well, that's good, at least.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'll agree to that

MO Rec Tal says:
*Cdt Maline*: This is the MO, what is the problem and who is it that you think is dead?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::walks onto the Bridge head buried in a PADD::

EO Echoshoe says:
::responds just as slow and careful with his words:: Garlingus: Yes sir... we can even shunt power from one of our impulse engines backup fusion reactor...

Cadet Maline says:
*MO* I don't know, I don't know, can't you send someone or transport him to you or something.  I'll put my id on him if that'll work.

MO Rec Tal says:
*CO*: Captain, Stidd is conscious now but I am running a few more tests before I release him for duty.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::sees Lemmick and grabs a Yeoman out of his way::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Hello Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::looks up briefly: :CO: Oh...hi ::sits down in his chair::

MO Rec Tal says:
 *Cdt Maline*: Very well, do that and I will have him beamed here at once.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*MO Rec Tall*: Very well, Doctor, do you have an estimate as to when he will be fit for duty?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Interesting reading?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
L`luz\D`lar: We could have this installed here within a couple of hours, but I would need to clear it with the Chief Engineer and the Captain of course.  And that would mean you will not be able to draw any power until then.

Cadet Maline says:
::nods to the COM and puts her badge on the dead officer::

MO Rec Tal says:
*CO*: I am guessing in about 3 or 4 hours.  I just want to make sure he is over the worst of it before I release him is all.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*MO Rec Tal*: Very well, I look forward to having him back on the bridge.

MO Rec Tal says:
::Orders the computer to do a site to site transport off of Cdt Maline's badge::

Cadet Maline says:
*MO*: It's done  ::drops to the floor shaking and wishing she wasn't on the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Got a response from Command...they've agreed to send a delegation to DS102 to meet with our guests. Seems they liked my idea. Who knew?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: That's great, Commander.

MO Rec Tal says:
*Cdt Maline*: Report to sickbay as well.

ACTION:  The body arrives in sickbay.

Cadet Maline says:
::nods again to nothing and picks herself up walking robot like to the turbolift::

Host L`luz says:
EO: Thank you

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Good thing they didn't suggest that we’re the permanent federation presence there...::lets out a little laugh::

MO Rec Tal says:
 ::Begins examining the body that has just arrived::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Sir, EO Echoshoe and I believe we have a solution. ::disables the replicator and walks past the delegation out the door with Echoshoe:: *CEO*: I'd like to show it to you and the skipper.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes, I kind of like exploring.

EO Echoshoe says:
::walks with Garlingus into a TL:: TL: Main Engineering

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: From what we've been through lately...it would be a welcome change that's for sure. Any word on the power problems?

Host D’lar says:
::watches the two leaves and turns toward L'luz:: L'luz:  What were you thinking?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  I'll meet you on the bridge, ensign.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: The engineers are working on a solution.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::heads for the turbo lift::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::bats Echoshoe on the back of the head:: *CEO*: Aye sir.  TL: Stop, Bridge.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::enters turbolift::  TL: bridge.

Host L`luz says:
D'lar: What you know.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:I am sure MacLeod and Garlingus will figure it out....I think I am going to go pay a little visit to our guests and let them know that Command has agreed to meet with them

EO Echoshoe says:
Self: ow! Garlingus: How was I supposed to know?

D’Lar says:
L'luz: Where is M'rir?

MO_Rec_Tal says:
*CO*:Captain, You better come down here.  I have something you need to see.

Host L`luz says:
::smiles and moves to the sleeping quarters without speaking::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the TL onto the bridge with a whimpering Echoshoe:: CO/XO: Sir, we've found a solution, Lt. MacLeod will be joining us shortly.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::exits turbolift, steps onto the bridge and looks for the Captain.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*MO*: And what is that, Doctor?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::moves to join the CO the XO and the EO::

EO Echoshoe says:
::scratches at his head and waves over to the CEO as he walks over::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: Speak of the devil Ensign....the miracle worker him self

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at the EOs and MacLeod, nods to him::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
*CO*: One dead crewman but the cause is what is disturbing.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*MO*: I'm on my way.  ::nods to the engineers who just entered:: XO: Commander, you have the bridge, while I'm in Sickbay.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::winks at the CTO and looks on::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::walks to the turbolift and orders it to sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Aye Captain

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO: Sir.  ::hands the padd to the CEO:: All: We figure if we power up one of our impulse engine's auxiliary fusion reactors and install a shunt here at this conduit... ::points to the padd:: All: We'll be able to provide a controlled sustainable flow of power to the guest's quarters.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CEO: Chief? ::looks at the PADD::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
MO Cutter: When the cadet gets down here, treat her for shock and send her to her quarters for the rest of the day for rest.

MO Cutter says:
MO Rec Tal: Ok, will do.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the PADD display::  EO:  the specs look right...  Exactly how much energy do they require?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at the others while checking her board, hides her grin::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::exits the turbolift and walks into Sickbay:: MO Rec Tal: What's the emergency, Doctor?

Cadet Maline says:
::enters sickbay as directed and looks around all but lost::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
Cdt Maline: MO Cutter will take care of you in there.  :: Points in the other room::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: CEO: I don't know sir, but I can't imagine it can be any more than a fusion reactor supplying solely that circuit would be.

Cadet Maline says:
::looks up at the Captain and stumbles back into cutter:: CO/MO: What?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CEO/EO: Any danger to the ship?

Host Cdt_Maline says:
::nods and follows Cutter::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Shouldn't be a danger, sir.

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: This is what is disturbing.  The cadet there found the body a short time ago.  No external wounds but all electrical impulses within the body just stopped without rhyme or reason.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CEO/EO: Do it...but find a way to isolate the power feed for it. Don’t want any troubles. Isolate the reactor as well from all other ships systems as a precaution. Understood?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: ALL electrical impulses?  Do you know the cause?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::turns on his heel and heads to the TL holding the door for the CEO::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::turns and follows the EO::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: I don't even have a wild guess about it.  I have never seen this before.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::enters the TL with the EO::  EO:  Good job, ensign.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO: Thank you sir, the work has yet to commence.  I recommend engineering team Charlie, they're just coming off of watch now and should be about down with chow.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: That's a wild mystery.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods to the EO::  EO:  run with it.  ::smiles::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: Tell me about it.  I thought Stidd's sickness was exotic but this beats the hell out of that one.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: I might have an idea, but it's too horrible to contemplate.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CTO: Set course for DS102...warp 4.5 Punch it when ready

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::looks down and back up:: XO: Aye Sir, Heading to DS102, Warp 4.5

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods and smiles back:: CEO: Aye sir.

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: What is your idea?  I would be willing to look into anything for this at this point.  I can't just leave this open like this.

ACTION:  A second body is reported.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the TL and motions to Echoshoe:: Echoshoe: Hey, go get the team together and meet me at the saucer section impulse reactor chamber, we gotta get this done quick.

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: I am getting a signal that another body was just found.  How much you want to bet that it is the same thing.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: We have a delegation on board, some of whom feed on energy.  I don't know if human electrical impulses would satisfy them or not.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: No bets.

EO Echoshoe says:
Garlingus: Aye sir! ::runs away::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO: Might I add sir, it's quite refreshing that you're so trusting of me as a junior officer.

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: Chicken.  I was hoping to get even for last nights poker game.  :: Laughs::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: Not from me, Doctor.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  We were all junior officers once, lad.  ::grins::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
:: Orders the computer to transport the new body into sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CTO: It's good to be back home you know.

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: If it is them then I recommend we slow our speed to DS 102 or they will have more than a feeding frenzy on their hands.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
XO: That it is Commander.  That it is

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
MO: Good idea.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: What is our current speed to DS 102?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CTO: When was the last time we played Velocity? ::gets a grin on his face::

MO_Rec_Tal says:
CO: I was right.  It is almost exactly the same situation.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::nods to the MO as she awaits the CTO's response::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
XO: Too, long Commander ::winks as she answers the Captain:: *CO* : Our current speed is Warp 4.5, Captain

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: CEO: Aye sir, that's true.  My previous command sir, they didn't pay much mind to my experience as a senior enlisted man either.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CO*:Captain...something wrong? ::interjects sensing the Captains tone::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::heads to the master display in main engineering and begins mapping out the schematics the team will use::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CTO*: Slow us down a bit.  We've got two dead bodies in sickbay, and the doctor said they died because all their electrical impulses shut down.  I fear it is our guests again and he recommends slowing down the ship to conserve the energy.
