Mission Summary 11405.22

The entire ship has suffered a containment leak of some kind pumping anaesthezine gas into all spaces.

A few crewmembers managed to don EVA suits before succumbing to the gas's affects.

The Romulan war ship stands at the ready waiting for the Don Johnson to respond.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::passed out in the Cargo Bay::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::in a shuttle in the shuttle bay::

EO McGinis says:
 *Bridge*: Anyone there? ::breathing from mask::

 TO_Target says:
 ::on the bridge finalizing preparations::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::On the bridge in an EVA suit, attempting to find a way to vent the anaesthezine gas into space without killing the crew::

EO McGinis says: 
::grabs some more masks and a counter agent from their med kit, starts to put them on other Engineers::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: The clock is ticking with the Romulans

 EO McGinis says:
  *CEO*: Please respond Commander.

TO_Target says:
  FCO:  Your light show is ready to go.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::on bridge at helm, wearing EVA suit. entering in escape routing into navigation system::  *EO* Hey there, McGinis is it?  What can I do for you?

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Lieutenant, I can't reach Commander Telarus. I have passed out engineers and a limited number of DC masks. I can't get anyone from Sickbay either, what is going on? What are your orders?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::links escape routing programming into impulse and warp drives for the fastest possible withdrawal from the area. highlights waypoints to the nearby Witchhead Nebula in case they need a place to hide::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
Samaura:  I think you've just about cleaned me out.  ::displays his empty pockets::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*EO_McGinis*: Yeah, we seem to have an anaesthezine gas release ship wide.  See if you can secure that leak and cycle the ventilation systems to filter the gas out.

FCO_Samaura says:
 CTO: It was a simple witch's hat opening. You should have had me at that.

EO McGinis says: 
::checks out Environmental Control system to see if there is a bug in the control program that is flooding decks with gas:: *FCO*: Aye already on it.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO_Target:  stand-by on my order.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
Samaura: Well, damn.  ::looks over the board carefully::

TO_Target says:: 
 FCO: Aye.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: Do you remember the maximum speed ratings on that class of Romulan ship?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: I don't, but we'll have the element of surprise, if that's anything.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: It'll have to do.  

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::sets escape route program to coincide with the Tactical light show::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<Computer> EO: Access denied. Level 6 Clearance is required for ship wide systems.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO_Target:  Mr. Target.  Let’s surprise our friends.

TO_Target says:
::initiates the pyrotechnics::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::lets the escape program run, full impulse turn to port 180 degrees then enter high warp::

EO McGinis says: 
Computer: Override, Engineering Authorization...McGinis Delta 8472.

TO_Target says:
FCO/OPS:  If we're lucky they'll think we blew up.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: We don't have many resources personnel wise, but if we could get key personnel into EVA suits and get them some air, they'd come around. Probably with one hell of a headache, but it would give us numbers.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: Don't believe in luck

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Fate then? ::wry smile::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
<Computer> Access Granted ::command windows appear with blinking cursor::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
Samaura:  I concede. You are the more skillful player.  ::bows his head slightly::

EO McGinis says: 
::starts looking and notices the program has become corrupted:: Self: Initiating data block analysis and incremental damage restore.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS: Hopefully a place to hide while they recover will be helpful as well...  Anyone locate the Captain yet?

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Sir I should have the gas cleared from the vents in 10 minutes, but that is the good news...

FCO Sumaura says: 
CTO: You know, one of us could use the EVA suit, go out and grab another one and come back. I'm kind of sick of sitting here.

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Your hour is up!

EO McGinis says: 
::starts accessing the individual modules for each sector of Environmental control and shutting down the gas production...manually::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*EO_McGinis*:  Don't tell me there's bad news.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: The Romulans are calling. If we're going to run, I say we do it now.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
Sumaura:  You'd think they'd clear the shuttle bay out fastest.  All they have to do is open up the bay doors.

FCO_Sumara says:
  CTO: And they'd have to lower shields. Something tells me that isn't an option right now.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::stands::  Sumaura: I volunteer for this dangerous mission.  ::takes the EVA suit and starts working himself into it::

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Unfortunately yes, the environmental controls system was corrupted, and I can't tell if by accident or on purpose. More gravely, the system breakdown triggered a security check that protected core systems. Only the Captain, Ensign Trois, or Lieutenant Commander Telarus can unlock the core engineering systems. Until I shut down each module producing gas the gas is still flooding in until I shut it off. I have turned off the Bridge, Engineering, and the area of the ship where the Ensign and Commander are at.

FCO_Sumnara says:
 CTO: You’re going to have to move fast. I can't keep the hatch open long.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
Samaura:  Ready when you are.  ::secures the helmet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::starts coming to a little but passes back out from the amount of concentrated gas breathed in::

 FCO Sumara says: 
::Gets ready, holds his breath and opens the hatch::

 TO_Trois says: 
::having a lovely dream... or is it a memory::

 EO McGinis says: 
::attempts to override the security lockout::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::strolls out onto the shuttle bay deck::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*EO_McGinis*: there's got to be a work around, I know you engineers, you like to tinker with stuff to find out how it works.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::closes the hatch and refreshes the atmosphere::

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Respond or be destroyed!

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Orders?

 EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Already trying sir. ::attempting to override the lockout by moving around isolinear chips around to bypass the coded lockout and make a direct link to the main computer's modules for core access::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::fingers lightly caress his console as he looks at the Romulan ship through the main viewer::  OPS: Do you think they know what we're planning?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: No, but the longer we wait, the longer they have to blow to pieces. 

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Give me 5...::sparks fly as he moves one chip to another slot:: Self: Damn it!.... FCO:...15 minutes,

TO_Target says:  
FCO:  Ready to engage phase two on your order.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
TO_Target/OPS: Let’s take a chance.  ::engages escape program, full impulse turn to port, then enter high warp out of the area.

Host Toros says:
ACTION: The USS Don Johnson jumps to warp and the panel where EO McGinis is working surges and throws him back unharmed but startled.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::casually kicks a downed crewmember as he passes::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::checks proximity sensors for the Romulan reaction::

EO McGinis says: 
Self: Son of a... ::hands are all tingly::

EO McGinis says:
 *FCO*: My panel just went dead sir, I have no engineering control from the main console and some isolinear chips just got fried.

Host Toros says:
ACTION: As the distance grows between the Don Johnson and the Romulan war ship, the environmental controls seemingly return to normal and the gas can be seen venting from all areas.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::removes an EVA suit from a rack::

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: However, on the bright side I was able to do something highly against Starfleet regulations and get us control of the ship again, there is some more bad news though...I mean beside no Engineering control at the moment.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*EO*: acknowledged.

EO McGinis says:
 *FCO*: Should I keep that to myself, or do you want to hear it?

TO_Trois says:
::returning to consciousness::

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: I mean the bright side is I was also able to get the environmental system back to normal and no more gas is being produced...but...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::knocks on the door of the shuttle::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::opens the hatch after holding his breath::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::eyes start to widen out slowly and comes to at a lurching speed::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*EO*: I think we are in the clear, the Romulans don't seem to be pursuing.  

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  I'm worried, why aren't the Romulans pursuing?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::tosses in the EVA suit but stays outside the shuttle::

EO McGinis says: 
*FCO*: Just to let you know, everything in our computer core has had every security protocol overridden or removed. Happened during the surge...and maybe part of my override.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Maybe my worst fears are true and the container....it's like playing Russian roulette. Maybe they don't want it that badly.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
OPS:  Yeah, they are pretty good at misdirection, aren't they.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::shakes Trois:: TO: Ensign you awake, you ok?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::finds the communication button on the suit and presses it:: * OPS*:  Could I get a transport to the bridge?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: If my suspicions are true, simply destroying it isn't an option. And by destroying us, the Romulans may realize its suicide.

TO_Trois says:
::jumps up::  CEO:  Get your hands off of me!  ::rushes to secure the Romulans in case they too wake up::

FCO_Sumara says:
 ::closes the hatch and puts the EVA suit on::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Relax Trois, I was making sure you were ok. You weren't the only one knocked out by the gas too you know. ::starts checking around and outside for personnel to make sure they are ok::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
*CTO*: And you would be...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::sounds annoyed::  *OPS*:  Tamaste.  I'm here to fill in for Ki until he's recovered.

Host Toros says:
ACTION: The Romulans put up no argument or fight as they recover from the gas same as everyone else.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: Telarus to Bridge.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::somewhat shocked:: *CTO*: My apologies...it's just that your EVA suit..it was encoded for...someone else ::still reeling from seeing Ki's ident come up at the comm:: I'll beam you up now. Stand by.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::beams Tamaste to the bridge::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*CEO*: Mr. Telarus?  How was your nap?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::feels that familiar tingle of transport::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Pretty good actually, needed that Mr. Quinn. Probably not the best time for it...but looks like we are all coming to. Ensign Trois even has that "can do" spirit.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
*CEO*: Agreed.  Looks like the Romulans aren't going to pursue us, Mr. Donovan and I are wondering if there is something inside that container we shouldn't pry into.  How far have you gotten breaking in?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::materializes on the bridge::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::looks to the form materializing, feels a rush of panic for a moment::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*FCO*: I just set up the transporter inhibitors to prevent them from beaming it. I set up emergency transport ability in case we have to throw this catch back to the sea. The demo team is ready I believe to blast the hinges and get us in there.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
FCO/OPS:  What the hell is doing on here?  Where is the damned Captain?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: Stop him!

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::taken aback by the intensity of emotion on the bridge::

EO McGinis says:
 ::tries to get his console back up and more sparks fly and knocks out ship wide commas::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::jumps to his feet and turns to face Tamaste::  Tamaste: Who the hell are you?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::hears the abrupt cut out:: *FCO*: Quinn...Quinn...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
FCO:  Your current chief of tactical.  Stop who from what?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
FCO: No, not him, HIM, Telarus, stop him from opening that container!

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: Alright Ensign, could you have your people blast the hinges please, I think we would all like to see what's inside. I think Lieutenant Quinn needs a report on the contents of that cube. I'll try to get the comms back up.
