CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grits his teeth and presses the Hypospray to the Captain's arm, injecting him with the tainted DNA quickly before he can persuade himself to stop:: CO: You won't notice any effects immediately, Captain, but i'm going to dose you with the serum to be one hundred percent. I'd recommend you stay here for an hour or so, i'll keep you apprised of the situation from the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::Stumbles as the ship comes to a sudden halt:: CEO: What happened?!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::turns and narrows his eyes at the CEO:: CEO: What did you do?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::gulps::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
All: I...

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> CEO: Now how will we get there? You stupid idiot.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::rushes over to CEO's side:: CEO: Quickly! We need to get moving!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::moves quickly to the engineering console and grabs Tony by the front of his uniform:: CEO: WHAT DID YOU DO?!

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::smacks Sek in the face, the built in rage towards the Caitain taking over::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grabs a cartridge of his serum from the desk and doses the Captain with that, letting him rest in his chair as he taps his comm badge:: *XO*: Commander, this is the Doctor. Report, please?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CNS: Let go off me you overgrown furball!

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CNS: Stand down! ::steps between the two men:: CEO: Talk.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::stares murderously at Tony:: CEO: Fix it. Now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
XO: I...I feel like this is wrong, but I also want to go forward....::smacks his console:: DARN it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CNS: One more word and I will knock your teeth you, pussycat!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pulls open his drawer and stares for a moment at the phaser pistol lying within, hesitating before grabbing it and slipping it into his belt at his lower back, hiding it with his coat::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: What went wrong? We need to get it repaired. ::sounds stricken, on the verge of panic::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::growls and bares his claws:: CEO: Please. Try.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::jumps the CNS::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::catches Tony in mid-air and tries to fling him over a nearby console::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grabs the rest of his cartridges and a few hyposprays along with his serum before stepping out into the Sickbay:: Denim: Nurse, this is important, and I don't have much time. I need to infect you with a mutogenic virus that has no cure, but it does have a treatment. It's the only way I can stop everyone here getting killed by whatever's growing inside, do you understand?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Denim> ::nods slowly, eyes wide, swallowing as she stumbles over a "Yes, Doctor::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::curses and smaks her comm badge:: *Security*: Security to the bridge!

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CNS: Counsellor, stand down! That is an order!

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::punches the cat in the kidneys....or he thinks it's the kidneys....more used to humans::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods:: Nurse: This isn't what I wanted. It's dangerous, but...it'll buy us time. ::injects her with first his infected DNA, then the Serum:: Take these vials, tell everyone what I told you, then inject them. Medical staff, then Security, then the rest of the ship. I'm going to the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CNS: Don't break him! We need him to fix the damn ship, for pity's sake!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::knowing that he can leave Sickbay and the "cure" in her capable hands, he steps outof Sickbay and heads for a Turbolift with two hypos each of Serum and DNA::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::draws back, ready to swipe the engineer with his claws, but he stops at the XO's words:: XO: ... you're right. ::slowly detaches himself from Tony:: CEO: You're lucky, stoker.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CNS: Yeah, back off!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::hits his comm badge as he orders the TL to the bridge:: *Nurse_Denim*: Denim, Kymar. When you've inoculated someone, send them to Sickbay to have the growths removed safely and stored in Stasis.  It's a lifeform, remember, I want them alive.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson>::steps off the turbolift, phaser at the ready:: XO: What's going on? Why are we stopped?

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::breathes as the two men step back. Points at Sek:: SEk: You! Sit! ::turns to CEO:: CEO: You! Shut the hell up, stop beating around the damn bush and tell me what happened?!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Denim> ::confidently gets right on that::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
XO: I uh.....I stopped the ship.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
Benson: Crisis over. But... Let's have you stay on the bridge, OK? ::nods once and turns back to Tony::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps off of the Turbolift into chaos, his medkit slung around his back, hypos in his pockets and the weight of his phaser tucked against his lower back:: XO: Commander, what is going on up here and why have we stopped? You never replied to my comm.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::takes a few steps back, but doesn't sit::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::keeps a wary eye on everyone, suddenly afraid that the growths are starting to alter brain chemistry already::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> ::lowers his phaser, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet:: XO: Seriously, we, uh... we should get going.

Host SMurf says:
<EO_Jiles> *CEO*: Chief, I don't know what you did, but there's a fight going on down here! Reed just knocked out Peterson, and well, it's a brawl down OOF ::comm cuts off::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::holds up a hand to the CMO to silence him for a second:: CEO: You... what?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::runs a hand through his hair:: XO: Stopped them ?

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::flexes his claws, starting to lose his patience::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grits his teeth, his fear and worry turning to the spitting sparks of anger at the XO's dismissive gesture, trying to keep his voice calm but level:: All: Whatever is going on up here stops right now. I am fairly sure you're all suffering the effects of whatever these lifeforms are growing inside you, do you understand? You're not thinking straight.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::expression changes to one of horror:: CEO: I shouldn't have called security... ::turns away from him before changing her mind and spinning back to slap him across the cheek:: CEO: Do you know WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::smacks the XO:: XO: STOP IT! I AM A HUMAN BEING! ::his eyes get wet::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::goes for the CEO again:: CEO: So where's your humanity?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::sighs and sits down:: XO: I don't know. ::sobbing::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::glances to the CMO, as if only now registering his presence:: CMO: Doctor...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::roars across the bridge:: ALL: EVERYBODY STAND DOWN!

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::turns to face the console and inputs a few command to realign the dilithium matrix, correcting the problem::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: Fix this ship, Now. ::turns back to the CMO::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::cheeks are flushed, breathing is tense:: CMO: It's fine, doctor. Everything's fine. We'll be moving again in no time.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::furrows his brow some, thinking about what the doctor said::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::mumbles:: XO: I'm reporting you..

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: Sabotage this ship again, and you'll be reporting me from New Zealand.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
XO: No. It's not fine

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps across the bridge slowly:: XO: The lifeform growing inside every one of you is causing imbalances in your brain chemistry, manifesting in brood behaviour. I need to c-...destroy the virus, and transport the growth into stasis. For everyone.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
XO: Really? ::looks happier::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::stares at CMO:: CMO: And the life-forms? What will happen to them?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::fixes the misalignment::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
XO: They'll be safe in stasis. They won't grow, and we can find their planet of origin and return them.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::finds herself starting to calm a little::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
CMO: How long will it take to cure the whole ship?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::raises one of his hyposprays:: XO: I have a mutagenic virus here that will destroy the one inhabiting your system and allow me to transport the lifeform out and return you all to your normal selves. But...There's no cure for the virus i'm injecting you with, only a treatment.

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> ::stands:: XO: I better go check those shuttles. ::pauses:: Yeah. Check the shuttles.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns to the Counsellor:: CNS: I already have my medical team and security working through the ship. It shouldn't take more than an hour to get everyone, and to put those that opt out into stasis.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::Stands up:: CMO: Whoa...you're not injecting me with that

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::points a finger at the FCO:: Benson: Stop that man, Lieutenant.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: OK... this second virus... it's like, a nasty cold or something? ::looks back at CEO:: CEO: As soon as we're in good shape, get us underway, best possible speed.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> ::raises his phaser and shoots Zorn with a bored look on his face::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns back to the CEO, suddenly feeling like he's whirling all over the place:: CEO: Understandable, Commander, but either you get cured this way or you go into stasis. Or you die.

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> ::still stood next to his console, looks confused::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
XO: Best possible speed aye

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CMO: Then we die. Me and my kid here.

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> ::falls to the floor unconscious wondering what he ever did to hurt Benson and vowing to get his revenge in this life or the next::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grinds his teeth just a little:: CEO: Commander, that is not your child. It is an invasive and parasitic lifeform that has taken over your body, do you understand?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CMO: You wouldn't understand!

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: Dammit, Tony, stop being an idiot, All: Woah! Benson: What the hell?! Stand down! CMO: Doc... You deal with Zorn, I'll deal with Mother Goose, here.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> ::shrugs:: XO: What? He said to stop him.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::blinks at the sound of phaser fire:: Benson: That isn't quite stopping, Lieutenant. ::walks over to Zorn, pulling out his tricorder and checking his vitals, then using the FCO console to beam him to one of the triage centres with a tag to get a nurse over there with a hypo and the serum ASAP::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
*Security*: Security to the bridge... again!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson>::looks to the TL:: XO: I could, like, leave, and come back, if you'd like.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::stands up and walks over to the CEO, staring him down with a look in his eyes that promises no easy roads:: CEO: Commander, I want you to tell me right to my face, right now that you are unwilling to accept this course of treatment.

Host SMurf says:
<TO_Smith> *Benson*: The brawl had to be stopped in Engineering Sir. We had the lay the smack down, but job done.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::steps closer:: CMO: You're right I am. Touch me and I will show you my signature move from the hand to hand combat class.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> *TO*: Snap. Things are pretty chill here on the bridge. Let me know if anything else happens, I guess.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
Benson: Just... ::pinches the bridge of her nose in frustration:: Benson: ...take the rest of this shift off. We'll deal with your overzealousness later.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> XO: Ah, cool. ::makes his way to the nearest console and sits down, using it to access the holo library::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods slowly:: CEO: Thank you, Commander. ::steps back, eyes on Tony:: Computer: Computer, transport Lieutenant Commander Adalberto to Stasis Chamber four.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::steps back:: CMO: Wait, whaa?

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
Benson: Off the bridge, Lt.

Host SMurf says:
<Computer> CMO: Unable to comply. Stasis Chamber Four is occupied.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<TO_Benson> ::sighs and rolls his eyes:: XO: Maybe you should all be more specific next time. ::walks to the TL and leaves::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Computer: Do we have any empty stasis chambers?

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
aFCO: Get us moving...

Host SMurf says:
<Computer> CMO: Affirmative.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grinds his teeth again:: Computer: Transport him to one of those, then!

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::rushes for the CMO:: CMO: Why I oughta!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pulls his phaser pistol out as quick as a blink:: CEO: Step back please, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::stops::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::calls over his shoulder:: XO: Commander Danann, a little help please?

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
All: For the love of God! CEO: Sit down! CMO: Stop trying to beam people places! All: No wonder the Captain is so stressed out all the time!

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::sits down::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: That.. is the first sensible thing you have done all day. CMO: Doctor, talk. Tell us what you have in mind.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::reholsters his phaser:: All: What you have is potentially lethal. Do you understand? You will DIE. I'm not offering a better option, I’m just offering one where you get to live a little bit longer. 

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::sits down in a nearby chair, watching::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: Your treatment. What do we have to do?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::watches the CNS::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks around, his eyes wary, his stomach a knot of ice:: XO: It's a hypospray. Two, actually. One is a virus, the other is the treatment to that virus. The first prevents any more growths, the second...keeps you human.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
All: Or Bolian, Betazoid, Andorian, Bajoran....

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: You're not telling us everything, doc, are you? How long til we're clear of the second virus?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
XO: Like I said, I don't have a cure yet. But there is a treatment, which is more than your current illness has.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, eh? ::thinks:: CMO: OK. The decision is up to each officer, but... I'd rather neither I nor the life-form growing inside me dies....

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::relaxes slightly:: XO: Believe me, Commander, neither do I. The life form goes into stasis, safe and alive until we can find their home planet.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::closes his eyes and growls lightly in discomfort:: CMO: Will I be able to think normally with this new disease?

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::nods her consent:: CMO: You're the doc, doc.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
XO: Technically, i'm the Captain too. Captain A'an is recovering in sickbay, he's been injected and had his growth removed, and as i'm the only one unaffected by the lifeform he felt it best.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods over to the Counsellor:: CNS: Your brain chemistry should level out with the removal of the growth.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::has the wind rather taken out of her sails:: CMO: Then, we're at your mercy. Get to it.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::stands:: CMO: Then inject me. Please.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pulls the hypospray out of his pocket, stepping down to the command circle and pressing it to Danann's arm followed by the serum:: XO: I'm sorry, Commander. I...truly wish there was a better option.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to the CNS and makes his way up, doing the same for him, revulsion in his stomach but hidden from his face::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::shudders as she feels the effects:: CEO: Tony?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
All: Hell no.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns to the CEO and waits::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CEO: Commander...Tony...Do you honestly think I would be doing this if I had any other option?

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::just shakes his head::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CEO: Fine. But we can't lose you, or it. Report to Sickbay. We need to put you in stasis.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::remembers she's not in charge and looks at CMO::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::gives her a nod::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps over to the OPS console, tying it into the medical transporter and locking onto the growths inside Danann and Sek:: XO/CNS: Hold still for a moment, this won't feel pleasant.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::would advise the CEO, but figures he wouldn't care for it::

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::stands as still as she can, prepared to feel a great sense of loss::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::initiates the transport, making sure that both growths are healthy and alive, locked in Stasis::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::sighs and stands up and extends his arm:: All: Then inject me. But if this turns me into a zombie, I will kill him.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::groans at the growth is removed from her other arm:: CEO: The choice has to be yours. ::feels a wave of sadness take over::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::completes the transport and makes his way over to the CEO:: CEO: I am sorry, Tony. I promise, i'll have a cure just as soon as we complete this mission and find a home for these lifeforms. ::presses his hypospray to Tony's arm, injecting him with the virus first and the serum second, disgusted at how much easier the fifth is than the first::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
::groans::

CEO_LtCmdr_Adalberto says:
CMO: You better.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::sits down in her seat, overcome with nausea again, and a sense of loss::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods sadly, slipping his hyposprays into his pockets then locking onto Tony's growth and transporting it into stasis::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::sits down again, feeling a mixture of sorrow and relief::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pats him gently on the shoulder then makes his way back down to the command circle:: XO: The effects should pass soon, it'll take an hour or so for your chemistry to level out. Until then...we need to get moving, and find out where these things came from and where to return them to.

XO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::nods weakly:: CMO: Good plan. ::seems to have lost the will to command. Looks up at CMO:: CMO: I need a drink.
