Mission Summary 11405.01

The USS Don Johnson is receiving a mysterious hail from the Romulan ship they have engaged in battle.

The container has been beamed aboard by the Operations Officer and a few disoriented and angry Romulans have been beamed in along with it.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, at the helm.  Holding station 100 kilometers from the Romulan ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Ensign have your staff secure the container and the "guests" that it brought please.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::insures that the shields are back up::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  Excuse me?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::plots evasive maneuvers, keeps helm locked into tactical override::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::engages force fields in the cargo bay::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
<TO_Joe>::secures the cargo bay::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  I know my business.  I don't need you to tell me what to do.  ::annoyed::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::points to the console to show the Ensign where the internal sensors indicate the life signs along with the container::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::ignores the CEO::

Host KingToros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Hailing again, respond.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: They're hailing us again

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  On screen, please.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::puts the comm on screen::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
COMM: This is Lieutenant Tobias Quinn, of the USS Don Johnson, to whom am I speaking?

TO_Ens_Trois says:
FCO:  The Romulan weapons are hot.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::gets up and walks up to Lieutenant Quinn:: FCO: Tobias, I am going to go check out our status with ship wide.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::nods to the CEO::

Host KingToros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: To the Romulan Star Empire.  Return our property and our crew.  You are accused of committing acts of war!

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::gets an update from the cargo bay::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::walks by Trois and whispers:: TO: Watch it Ensign.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
FCO: There are three Romulans in the cargo bay.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  What?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::gets in the TL:: TL: Engineering.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::wondering what the hell that was all about::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
COMM: To what property are you referring, you haven't identified yourself yet, but you are in a Romulan designed vessel.  Can I assume you are indeed, Romulan?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*Engineering*: Duty engineer please.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
<TO_Joe>::makes sure their guests are comfortable yet secure::

Host KingToros says:
::gets real close to the camera:: COMM: Don Johnson: What do you think, Federation?  You are out manned and out gunned.  We are looking for peaceful resolution to these matters but will use force if you insist.  ::presses a button firing a disruptor blast point blank at 1% yield::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<EO McGinis>*CEO*: Commander, This is Chief McGinis.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
FCO:  Minor hit.  No damage.  Giving us a taste of what they have.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
COMM: No need for that.  I thought the Federation and the Romulan Empire were on better terms than that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*EO*: Please get two of your guys to the cargo bay. I need to set up to analyze the cargo in the container if necessary. Also I need a report on systems wide.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
TO: Do they have us outgunned?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::gets off TL and heads to Main Engineering::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
OPS:  80% probability they could defeat us.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO/TO: Great. I have a bad feeling about our cargo.

Host KingToros says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COMM: Don Johnson: Lower your shields so we may transport our personnel and cargo.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::turning away from the main screen::  TO/OPS: anyone able to get into that thing yet?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: No one’s had a chance as far as I know

TO_Ens_Trois says:
*CEO*:  Is there any way to protect an item from being transported if our shields are down?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::turns back to the screen::  COMM: You know that's not going to happen, just yet.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Permission to flood the bay with anesthazine gas so our friends don't tamper with it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::grabs report from McGinis:: EO: Thank you. ::ignores the communication from the Ensign for a moment::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reads the report::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::nods discreetly to OPS::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*TO*: Let me investigate that option. Lieutenant Commander Telarus out.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::floods the cargo bay and its' inhabitants with anesthazine gas::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
<TO_Joe>::passes out:::

Host KingToros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: EXPLAIN!

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
COMM: The design of this, cargo.  Isn't Romulan at all, is it?  how exactly did you come by it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
EO: McGinis get your crew in there once the gas is cleared. I need rotating frequency transport inhibitors. Move the Romulan crew out of the way and secure the cargo. That is priority alpha.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::decides not to tell Ensign Trois:: EO: Any of the tactical staff give you trouble, you are under my direct orders.

Host KingToros says:
::steps back from the screen and listens to another Romulan that whispers in his ear, he happens to have been standing there the whole time slightly out of view:: COMM: Don Johnson: The device was illegally beamed from our cargo hold, and we demand it back... You have one hour! ::ends communication::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<EO McGinis> ::shrugs his shoulders:: CEO: You’re the boss. ::sends the orders and equipment::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::goes over his reports and approves work as requested on some work orders::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::walks over and grabs some coffee from the replicator::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: I'm clearing the bay of gas, having the Romulans sent to medical with your permission.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::turns to TO and OPS: We need to get into that thing...  Fast.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reads the status report on his console regarding the communication between vessels::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Lieutenant, what can Engineering do for you? I noticed the Romulans aren't playing nice.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::looks at his console:: All. What the hell! Tactical Officer Joe was in there when I flooded the bay! ::sends medical::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
TO: I have a strong suspicion its booby trapped

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*CEO*: No they are not.  Mr. Telarus.  We need to break into that container.  There is something in there the Romulans want, and they are willing to go to war over it.  I want to know what it is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*FCO*: I need Torres and Lawrence from Tactical they were my best demo guys when I was at Tactical. We need to get into that container with finesse.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
OPS:  There's only one way to find out.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*CEO*: They're on their way.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::motions Torres and Lawrence to the turbo-lift::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
FCO:  I’m going with them

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Thanks. I'll get in there. ::decides he needs to step into the picture now::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::hands his console over and follows the others into the lift::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::nods to the TO:  TO: Go get'im

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Lieutenant...a word in private if we may?

TO_Ens_Trois says:
<TO_T'rget>::at the tactical console on the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TL: Deck 17, Cargo Bay 5

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::motions to the Captain's ready room::  OPS:  Ready room.

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
::arrives at the cargo bay with a medical tricorder and scans Mister Joe::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::locks his console and follows::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::arrives at the cargo bay:  MO:  Is it safe to enter?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::steps off TL and starts to walk towards Cargo Bay 5::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::walks into the captain's ready room.   Feels a bit weird without the captain in here::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::arrives and sees his guys along with Ensign Trois and Medical Office Atol::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::enters the cargo bay with the other two tactical officers::

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
::looks up and nods:: TO: Ye... ::looks at all the officers:: All: Wow, I'll just take my patient and be going...

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::smells some of the gas traces::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
All: Back out.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::orders the tactical officers to stay, which they do::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  It’s clear.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  What's up?

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
::nods to the two medical assistants to put TO Joe on the bio stretcher and 'wheel' him out.:: CEO/TO: Medical departing... ::steps onto a TL with the patient and medical staff::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: I smell some trace. Let the MO do their job please.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::approaches the container and looks it over::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
MO: Please grab your patient and make sure that the trace gasses won't affect us please.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: I have a strong suspicion that there is a weapon of mass destruction in that container. One of ours. It's something Ki was working on when...well. Anyways, Ki wasn't the only one looking into it. ::sly:: we all have connections. In the event it is, I would highly recommend utmost caution in dealing with it. It must not fall into Romulan hands. That’s imperative.

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
::waves to the CEO as the TL closes:: CEO: Aye!

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::walks around the container, taking scans with a tricorder::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*EO*: Please increase the oxygen flow to Cargo Bay 5. We need to clear out the gasses faster.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  All-right.  I have no intention of releasing it back to the Romulans if it resembles anything dangerous.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  Looks like its hollow, but I can't get readings through it to confirm what's inside.  ::continues walking around examining it closely::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO Torres / TO Lawrence: Guys, good to see you again. I need you guys to get in there with your usual touch and keep everything in one piece.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: There's another aspect to it. If it's what I think it is, and was designed by who I thought it was, it may not Look suspicious.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  Can you elaborate on the nature of this weapon?

TO_Ens_Trois says:
<TO_Torres> CEO:  With respect Sir.  We take our orders from Trois.  ::joins in the scanning with TO Lawrence watching over the Romulans::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: A bio-genic weapon designed to destroy life on a solar system scale. That’s all I know. I'm not sure how far they got with it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Please move our guests with your other officers to the Brig and have medical check them out. Once they are ready with the Captain's orders return them home.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  My orders are to inspect this container.  ::continues to do so::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO Torres / TO Lawrence: I understand that is the usual chain, but I have orders to get in there. I asked for the both of you specifically to carry that out. If that is a problem I can do it myself, but prefer your skills here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Ensign, I can carry out those orders with my guys and your staff. Please execute my orders and make your way back to join us when you are done please.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  I'm busy here.  This is a tactical situation.  I suggest you leave.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
Engineers: Set up the inhibitors you have over there and there ::points:: I got mine here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Ensign, atten-TION! ::tired of the insubordination::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::charges his phaser::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  Busy....

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::fires a phaser beam at the container for a brief burst::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  Bio-genic?  If you got your hands on it, do you think you could neutralize it?

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: Nothing happens.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Holster your weapon now!

TO_Ens_Trois says:
Self:  Hummm....  ::takes intense scans of the area that absorbed the beam::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: To be honest, it would be of a science totally out of my league. But I can try.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: maybe with everyone working together...

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
All: Everybody clear out right now. Except Ensign Trois.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FC: That's our best bet. ::nods:: The captain has a background in science I believe. She may also be of help

TO_Ens_Trois says:
*OPS*:  Would we still have a record from the transporter?  If so, we should know the composition.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::suggests the other TOs stay, which they do::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  Right.  Well, we have, what did he say, an hour?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*TO*: It's still in the pattern buffers, as we haven't cleared them yet. You should be able to access them from any of the ships consoles with your security codes.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
OPS: Yes, but I wouldn't wait that long.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::watches everyone clear out::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::watches the other TOs stay put::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CEO:  If you want to make yourself useful, you could have a look at the transporter logs.  We put this thing back together so we must have a record of what's inside.

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: The cargo bay doors shut and seal and anesthazine gas pours into the cargo bay knocking out anyone remaining there.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  agreed

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::passes out::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: That’s all I've got

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: Gas starts filling the corridors outside of the cargo bay and into the turbo shafts.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::passes out::

TO_Target says:
::yells out really loud::  FCO/OPS:  Hey!

TO_Target says:
::frantically tries to figure out how to contain the gas leak::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::alarms go off in Engineering::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::exits to the bridge and looks at the alert on the console:: TO: What is it? ::Looks:: Damn. It's the gas

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: Environmental controls are not responding and the gas starts spreading slowly to all surrounding decks.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::attempts to seal off the bridge from the gas, and looks for ways to vent it::

TO_Target says:
::isolates all the bridge systems including environmental::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::follows OPS onto the bridge, returns to the Helm station::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: This is serious, half the ship is out cold by now

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::has a little bit of consciounous and taps comm badge:: *FCO*: Tobias...gas...lockdown. ::passes out::

TO_Target says:
FCO:  We've got gas spreading throughout the ship!  It could be a Romulan trick!

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO/TO: I'm trying to disperse it, nothing is responding

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO: can we close off ventilation, isolate unaffected areas?

TO_Target says:
FCO:  Trying!

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: 80% of the ship is consumed in the gas three more decks until it reaches the bridge and the entire crew are put down.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO:  What makes you think it’s a Romulan trick?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: We should get anyone able into environment suits

TO_Target says:
FCO:  Well... cause there is a Romulan ship out there trying to get in here.  What else could it be?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: I'm estimating 84% of the crew has been affected.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO:  Yeah, but they would had to have hacked our command and control systems to make this happen

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
TO: We need to protect the cargo. ::looks at the FCO:: At all costs

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
ALL: If we all go out, the Romulans will board us and take what they want.  We can’t allow that.

TO_Target says:
::runs around flinging open the weapons lockers and pulling out the EVA suits::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::follows Target to the locker and outs on en EVA suit::

TO_Target says:
::hands one to the FCO::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::starts working controls::  ALL: I'm plotting an escape course at maximum warp, if we catch them off guard we should get a good lead::

TO_Target says:
::makes sure all the bridge crew are suited up::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<EO McGinis> ::grabs an oxygen mask from the DC kit:: *Bridge*: You there?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::takes the EVA suit, and starts to don it::  TO: Thanks.  Now, do you think you can set up a little torpedo light show for our friends out there.  not enough to damage them, just blind them for a few seconds?

TO_Target says:
::returns to the tactical console:: FCO:  Setting it up now.  ::frantically punches buttons on his console::

Host MO_Atruh`Atol says:
ACTION: The gas reaches the bridge.
