Host CJ-Tala says:

Summary - The crew of the U.S.S. Scimitar have just found themselves in one of their most trying situations yet. One of their nacelles has just suffered major damage at the hands of the Airilian Fleet...and they have found themselves without primary power.

Lights have faded, and life support is low. The Engine Room has been torn to pieces by Airilian weapons fire, and the TIC is offline. Lieutenant MacAllister has passed out, and communications to Engineering are down.

...and to top it all off, Lieutenant Brenna Delar's water has just burst...

Only in the most difficult of times, can you learn to rely on others. Only through adversity, can you truly build a family...

CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::picks himself up off the floor and takes over firing control from Lt MacAllister:::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::On the bridge, looking at the science console and the mess it says is the ship::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::In sickbay taking care of the captain::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::picking himself up from the floor he quickly looks around for Brenna, praying she's unhurt. Seeing her down at her console he dashes down there quickly:: OPS: Brenna, are you alright?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::Lays back on the floor her eyes flashing wildly afraid to move::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks around at the mess as she begins to make it out:: All: Everyone alright? ::adding:: Report please.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I'm fine, taking over firing control from Lt MacAllister
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Medical Officer Korvus Kerak finds himself aboard a Runabout, en route to the last known location of the Scimitar. The Dynasty, occupied with patrolling the border has sent Kerak and a relief team of Engineers to locate the Scimitar, unaware of it's current battered status.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::turns to her husband:: CSO: Rowan...honey.. I need you to get me to sickbay I think...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Fine ma'am, scanning the area ::taps some buttons to initiate a scan of the immediate area::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::taking her hand in his he looks her up and down for any obvious wounds:: OPS: What? Brenna, what's wrong, are you OK?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Stares out of the Runabouts front window, hums a tune in an attempt to relieve the boredom::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and looks to the Delar's:: CSO/OPS: Do you require assistance?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: No...but there's something wrong and...I really think I should see the doctor okay?...please?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: external scanners are offline, internal scanners at 25% ma'am. I'm working on getting them back online
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::makes her way to the two of them:: CIV/SO: Thank you.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::slowly opens his eyes, moaning slightly::  CMO: Doctor... what is going on here...?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A warm, searing pain floods over Brenna, and then as quickly as it began, it stops.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::squeezing her hand softly he nods towards the XO:: XO: A site to site transport, right now!
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: External sensors are out, as are targeting sensors.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the SO:: SO: Thank you, can you contact engineering and see what is happening down there also.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Sees the captain regained consciousness:: CO: Sir, we have just been hit pretty badly.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::winces crying out before biting her lip to stay quiet:: Self: Oh god not now...please not now
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: No contact possible with engineering ma'am.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sighs as he blinks with his eyes, trying to get a clearer view of the ceiling::  CMO: The Airilians I assume ?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks back down to Brenna as he hears her crying out:: OPS: Brenna! Is it the baby, it's coming?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Starts working on the problem of the external sensors, rerouting power to undamaged conduits::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks surprised by the CSO:: CSO: We can try though I doubt it. ::leans over to OPS's console and taps in some instructions::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - As the U.S.S. Scimitar drifts through space, dark and leaking plasma, the crew can hear as the hull creeks - without power to the structural integrity field, the ship is running the risk of tearing itself apart...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CO: Yes sir. The power is out, but I'm sure they'll fix that problem soon.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she nods weakly:: CSO: I think so...but he can't oh it's too soon god please Rowan make it stop
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: If we do not stop all motion or restore Structural Integrity fields, this ship will tear itself apart!
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - "Not now...oh no, not now..." A gentle whisper can be heard in Pierce's head, and just as he is able to make out what the voice says...it fades away, and Brenna lets out another cry, due to a second wave of pain.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::squeezing her hand gently he looks down at her and gives one of his reassuring smiles:: OPS: Hey, hey, it's alright, we'll get you into Sickbay and everything will be just fine
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: It seems this time we need to stop. ::sighs softly not liking that any more then being torn apart::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she cries out loudly unable to contain it squeezing Rowan's hand back hard:: Self: Oh god please not here!
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Moves to the Conn and tries to get the ship to stop moving, checking impulse, thrusters anything.::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks up surprised as he hears a whisper:: self: What the.. okay, the exercises helped. I heard what it said.. but what does it mean?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Taps on the side of his chair, looks around::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO/OPS: Unfortunately you don't get to go anywhere yet. ::sighs as she gives up on the OPS console::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Makes another tricorder scan of the captain and gives him a hypo to ease his pain::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: No! Put power to the transporters, route whatever we can, we need to get her to sickbay!
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::The console in front of him flashes something:: All: I can see the ship on Long Range Sensors, we should be there in 10 minutes or so ::Continues staring out of the window::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
SO/CIV/FCO: Try and help get some sensors back online and contact with engineering if we can have it.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::tries to get up::  CMO: I need to get to the bridge, Doctor...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I am attempting to stop our relative motion, but with only half the thrusters working , this is going to be tricky.  ::gently moves controls, doing everything very carefully, the integrity of the ship foremost in his mind::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::turns to him:: CSO: Shh... structural integrity is key ::she turns towards Janan:: XO: Ma'am, my console is fidgety under fire and so is the comm to engineering, you need to send a messenger down there with orders they probably can't here us, it doesn't take much to knock out those relays
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Studies the schematics and reroutes the power to some undamaged conduits, then runs a diagnostics to see the status of the scanner::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The scanners seem to come to life. Then the console flashes red as a power overload is detected, and the sensors fail, and the power connection dies.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Helps the captain to sit up:: CO: No problem sir. You only have some minor bruises. I gave you something for the pain, just make sure you don't get too excited, okay?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO: The only way to sickbay at the minute is not a route I would take a person on in this condition.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Looks around at the engineers sat next to him, grumbles something to himself::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Watches his console turn into a Christmas tree, then.. nothing..:: Self: Not good...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::grits his teeth, knowing that he's unable to do anything except watch his wife have a baby right here on the bridge::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Hums some more::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The loud groaning of the hull plating halts as the ship stabilizes, and the hull stress decreases.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::turns to Rowan:: CSO: Reroute the power....you know my control adjustments, pull power from gravitational controls if you have to, we've got a lot of empty area...it'll give you something to do I think I might be a while
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CIV: Thank you ::looks to OPS:: CIV: What security personnel does the CTO have near engineering, can you get in contact with any of them?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Starts from scratch as he tries to figure out what went wrong the last time, double checking all power flows::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::doubles taps his commbadge, hearing the chirp that indicates nothing is working::  XO: I was in sickbay until five minutes ago, He didn't have time to tell me anything...  let me see if his console works, that might give me and idea.  ::moves to the tactical console::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO: I'll help all I can, try and get Brenna to relax, and keep her breathing steady.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CMO: Exited... ::grins::  Why would I...  my ship has been blown apart... my staff ignored my orders... and so on...  ::sighs::  I'll be down for a check up when this situation is over...  ::smiles faintly::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nodding slowly he looks down at her:: OPS: I'm going to get a med kit and help you first, OK? :;squeezing her hand softly he quickly gets up and runs over to the locker, pulling out a med kit and dragging it back over to her. Opening it up he pulls out a tricorder and begins scanning:: OPS: It'll be OK, Brenna, just relax
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CO: Alright, I was just trying to look on the bight side of this. ::Tries to suppress a little smile and helps the captain on his feet::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::quickly heads to a med kit and returns with it, pulling out a medical tricorder::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sees the problem and reroutes the power away from an overloaded circuit::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::sighs loudly as he looks at the badly damaged console:: Ship: come one, Scimitar, work with me here......  ::tries to find out the location of security teams around the bridge::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Another wave of pain floods over Brenna Delar, and the ship seems to shake for a brief instant before returning to normal.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CIV: Send the closest person you have to engineering with a report and request their reports. ::looks to the SO:: SO: Any luck?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she laughs softly:: CSO: Cute I'm supposed to relax when you're going batty and the ship is trying to rip apart...not to mention I'm very early! ::screams with another contraction before catching herself:: CSO: Oh god...just tell me his life signs are okay please...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Aye Aye,
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::passes the tricorder across Brenna's stomach, checking the baby's vitals and then the mothers::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Walks over to a replicator and orders a glass of milk, walks back to his seat, glaring at the engineers, wondering if they are alive or not::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Ma'am, the ship is a mess. I'm trying to find some working routes for the power.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::turns to a close by tactical officer:: TO_Blowup: Take this padd to engineering.  Don’t stop for anything, and make sure you get there!
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::he smiles as best as he can, his face dotted with soot and nods:: OPS: You and the baby are both fine, let me get some blankets to make you comfortable. ::opening up the bottom hatch of the med kit he pulls out two medical heat-blankets, wrapping one around Brenna's waist before bundling up the other behind her upper back and neck::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
<TO_Blowup> CTO: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands on his feet and slowly makes his way to the entrance of sickbay, glancing at the CMO one more time::  CMO: Doctor, be sure to look after the others... we need them up and working as soon as possible...  ::nods once and heads out of sickbay at a moderate pace::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The U.S.S. Shuswap makes its way towards the U.S.S. Scimitar. As they do, Kerak can see the majestic Akira-class vessel powered down and adrift, a green cloud of leaking plasma surrounding the ship...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#Self: Great ::pokes a silent engineer sat next to him:: Engineer: Oi, you know what that’s about? ::Points at the ship::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CO: Aye aye, sir ::rushes to the other injured::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - As the next wave of pain rushes through Brenna, Karida Janan lets out a whimper of pain...the same searing fire burning through her body at the same instant.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> MO: It looks like they took damage to one of the nacells...::He curses softly:: Main power is likely offline...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looking at his console, finds some more choke points and reroutes the power so that the most stable conduits are used::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::takes a turn in the corridor, nodding a few crewmembers rushing by and enters one of the JT Junctions::  Self: Up to deck 1 we go....
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the SO and moves back watching the CSO but ready to intervene if needed:: CSO: remember to check the baby turns correctly. ::grits her teeth and looks to Brenna slightly surprised she whimpers::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::moans in pain closing her eyes and breathing deep trying to ignore it:: CSO: Rowan...please tell me that says something more definite then everything is good
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Black passes a few Engineers who seem to be enacting repairs by the light of flashlights.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Moves to OPS, not wanting to bother the Delars, trying to see if he can get emergency power up::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::concentrating between Brenna and his Tricorder he nods over to her:: XO: I'm making sure, Commander, the baby is stable and he looks to be ready to come out
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#Engineer: Oh.. ::Pokes some buttons on the console:: *COM*Scimitar: Shuswap to Scimitar, this is Kerak, what’s going on over there? Is it safe to dock?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Resets the external scanners, then runs a level 3 diagnostics::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::While working on the injured in sickbay, he orders a MO to try and set up a few extra beds in the cargo bay::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CSO: Excellent news, and once it does we need your help to get this ship working again.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: Ready to come out...on the bridge?...no please I can't have him here...please you need to get things working I can't have him here...god they'd never get it out of the carpet I'd owe millions in latinum for the damage to the bridge!
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Of course...::looking back down into Brenna's eyes he can't help but smile:: Shhh, it's not coming out now, Brenna, just relax. We'll get you into Sickbay first
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I have the SIF running at 36% Commander, that should buy us some time.  We still have no shields, weapons, impulse or warp drive.  External communications are functioning at 16% efficiency and internal communications are....  patchy.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::looking up at the ladder of the JT he sighs at the darkness and takes one of the flashlights out of the standard maintenance lockers, activates it and begins moving up to deck 1::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Truly I would love to give you a choice, all I can offer for now as something to help with the pain, not an alternative location ::moves a hypo in her hand::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A wave of pain floods the crew as the next contraction hits Brenna. Karida, Aleister, and Jonathan all cry out in pain, in unison with Brenna.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::While the level 3 diagnostics on the external scanners is running, starts checking the comms to engineering, rerouting power as well::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: And we are being hailed.  by Ens. Kerak.  I can get audio only.  ::transfers signal to speakers::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::wincing crying out quietly and gripping the first thing her hand lands on which happens to be her husband's knee::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and hears the Comm:: Comm: Shuswap: Probably best not to dock, I can't guarantee our integrity, welcome back.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Checks the console and sees that there is no comms possible with engineering: It seems the lines itself are severed:: XO: Ma'am comms with engineering can take a while, i will have to check the lines manually
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: vision blurs, the iron taste of blood fills his mouth as sensations no man should ever experience flood his body.  he moans, quietly::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Jr_Engineer> ::An officer on the bridge, noticing the status of the Operations Officer, decides to call sickbay:: *CMO*: Doctor Abmeraz...we have a situation on the bridge, I would advise you get up here, sir...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks around as everyone cries out with Brenna:: XO: Commander, you look after the crew, give them a dosage of something to inhibit mental activity along the telepathic wavelength Betazoids work on...I think our child is getting into trouble already
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*Jr_Engineer*: I hear you. I'll try to get there as soon as I can. ::Rushes to the sickbay door and into the hallway::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The next wave of pain floods over Brenna, and Karida, unable to take the unusual sensations, passes out on the bridge floor. A loud thud echoes throughout the bridge.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#*Scimitar*:Oh, so err any suggestions on we should do? There’s some engineers on board that might be able to help out, are your transporters working?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Is still working on preventing the ship falling apart, through the red mist of telepathically-imposed mist swirling in his mind::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::crawls out of the TJ and enters the bridge, limping a little bit::  All: Report !
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks around and sees the CIV lying on the ground, then notices the XO going down:: *CMO*: CMO Bridge stat, the XO just went down
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Jr_Engineer> *MO*: Transporters are down, sir...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::Looks up:: CO: Love to sir, little busy right now though ::sighs deeply preparing for the next contraction::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: The ship is safe for the meantime.  Our XO has passed out due to telepathic broadcasts from The Delar's soon-to-be-born-child, and Ens. Kerak is offering assistence from the ship he is on.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;looks over to the XO as she falls to the ground and frowns:: OPS: Brenna, keep breathing and relax, OK?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Hearing the call again, he realizes it must be more serious than he realized and makes even more haste::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Pokes the engineer again:: Engineer: You heard them, any suggestions?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The whisper that was once in Pierce's mind is no longer a whisper, and a scream fills his mind...what is says, he is unsure...but it is definitely pained.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CIV::  CIV: Very well...  contact Kerak's ship and see if they can beam over supplies and engineers to help with repairs....
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: External sensors are down, but I’m working on it. Internal sensors 25%. Comms with engineering is down as well
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::cries out as the next contraction hits her harder:: CSO: Oh god...please make it stop Rowan...please
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> MO: We could use our own transporter systems to beam over, but it might be risky with the plasma...we could use the bussard collectors, and clear the plasma field.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Kerak: Ensign, can you send over some engineers and supplies.  medical personnel are also a priority.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: Sir, I'm already on my way, can you advise me on the situation?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
:.glances at OPS::  CIV: Let them beam OPS to their ship as well for medical attention...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Good idea.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: The CIV looks like he is in great pain, source unknown. The XO just passed out. I have a feeling it has something to do with the baby. I suspect it's telepathic..
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nodding he picks up a hypospray and loads a cartridge of weak pain killer, setting the dosage to 15ccs before injecting her as gently as possible in her arm:: OPS: That should help some with the pain, I don't want to give you anything stronger because of the baby...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::grabs Rowan's hand and grips it firmly:: CO: Not without him
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Kerak: And we need medical evacuation for CSO Delar and OPS Delar.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks back at his console and sees the level 3 diagnostics have finished::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#*CIV*: Er... hold a minute  ::Turns off the comm channel and turns back to the engineer:: Engineer: Your the engineer so its up to you, if its dangerous we could beam something else over first to see if its safe...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the SO::  SO: Understood...  keep at it...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::grips her hand in return and nods over to the Captain:: CO: I'm going with her, Captain
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: External sensors are back online, but very shaky sir. i cannot predict what we get from them.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his CSO::  CSO: Very well... keep us informed...  ::smiles::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles back at him and nods before looking back down at Brenna:: OPS: You're both doing fine, we'll get beamed over soon
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The purple glow of Brenna's eyes shifts into the red spectrum, and as the burning pain fills her once again, the searing sensation floods over Rowan as well.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: Give me a telepathic blocker.  That will do.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Finally arrives at the bridge and rushes to the CIV::
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> MO: We'll have to do a test run...pick something, and we'll beam it over.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::gasps and groans loudly as he doubles over, feeling a searing hot pain run through his body::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::Screams loudly before going down to a low moan:: CSO: Oh god I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: A telepathic blocker should work sir
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Throws the engineer his medical tricorder::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#*Scimitar*: We're not sure if it’s safe to beam from here, so we're sending a tricorder through first.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::squeezes Brenna's hand softly before shaking his head:: OPS: I'm alright, don't worry
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The red glow of Brenna's eyes matches the red glow of the "Red Alert" lights, and as the next contraction hits her, she lets out a scream of pain.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Opens the med kit he brought with him from sickbay and readies the hypospray with a telepathic blocker::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sees the CMO rush in and moves to one of the mission consoles, glancing at the status of the Tactical Systems and Power grid::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CMO: and give all the officers on the bridge one as well.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> ::He places the tricorder onto the transporter padd and nods to Kerak quickly:: MO: Energize.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::Screams as loud as she can trying to stop herself and falling feeling like she wants to pass out from the pain:: CSO: Oh god...Rowan please don't leave me just promise you won't leave me...please..
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Presses the hypo to the CIV's neck and releases it's contents::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::wincing at her scream of pain he quickly loads another hypo with the painkiller, upping the dosage before injecting Brenna with it::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: The ship is a mess sir, we're running out of options for rerouting. I could try a scan of the area sir
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A static filled comm comes into the bridge, "Bridge...this is Engineering, is anyone up there?"
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: I won't leave you, I’m here and I’m staying here. Just relax, take deep breaths, you'll be ok
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Feels the pain subside from his mind:: Self: that’s better ::shakes his head to release his neck muscles and carries on working::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Presses a few buttons on the console and sends the tricorder away::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
COMM: Shuswap: Acknowledged... proceed....
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*Engineering*: Barely, but its good to hear you.  What’s our status?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CIV: Sounds like a good idea. ::Still catching his breath from the run to the bridge, he applies the telepathic blocker to all present personnel on the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
SO: Make it so...  I'm going to try and see if we can get engineering to repair a single circuit for us...  ::sighs::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<TO_Blowup> *CIV*: Sir...oh god, it's horrible. Engineering, it's...it's a vacuum...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Turns to his console and initiates a scan of the area::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
TO_Blowup: What?  Can you re-pressurise it?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - As Abmeraz goes to place the hypo-spray to Rowan Delar's neck, the small device flies across the bridge, away from the Delar's.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::furrows her brow:: Baby: Bad...you are grounded as soon as you get out of there! ::lays her head back watching the red glow her eyes cast mixing with the lights on the bridge::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<TO_Blowup> *CIV*: It appears that Engineering took damage when we dropped from warp. We're attempting to get emergency shields online now...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns as he hears a comm directed at the CIV::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks away from Brenna for a moment to the Doctor, and his no-longer-this-side-of-the-bridge hypospray:: CMO: Leave it, Doc, I can take a bit of pain...
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, the tricorder from the Shuswap appears on the Executive Officer's chair...melted straight through.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
TO_Blowup: Fine.  Get engineers on it.  And someone will need to explain to the CO how a the centre of the ship can get exposed to hard vacuum.  Get those engines working - we're probably going to need them::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks a bit confused as the hype flies from his hands:: CSO: If you say so sir.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#COM: Scimitar: Did it work?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks as the hypospray flies out of the CMO's hand, then looks back at his console as the scan result comes in:: CO: Sir, i have the U.S.S. Shuswap nearby and i detect a fighter wing of Airilians, that appear to be searching for us
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: The engineering section has been exposed to hard vacuum.  A team is working on getting emergency fields up , and rep-pressurizing the area.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::wonders what his kid is up too and shakes his head, squeezing Brenna's hand gently and smiling down at her:: OPS: Keep breathing deeply, honey, you'll be just fine
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> ::The officer begins calibrating the bussard collectors, and prepares them for a run near the plasma field::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Decides to take a gamble, and opens up his mind, trying to reach the baby::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Kerak.  It got through.  But don't try sending anything else.  It'll liquefy.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The Scimitar rocks again with Brenna's next contraction.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the SO as he looks at the melted tricorder and sighs::  CIV: Excellent... it's a high priority to have that section habitable again...  you'll be responsible for supervising it...  ::nods at the CIV::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she nods smiling up at him and breathing deeply:: CSO: I know handsome...oh...and you're never coming within ten feet of me again.. okay?...but I love you ::screams writhing in pain and squeezing his hand as hard as she can eyes closed as the room spins::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: By the looks of things they will have found us within the hour sir
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Should i leave the bridge to do that.... Sir?  ::Raises one eyebrow.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looking at the CSO he takes out his tricorder to make his scan of the baby::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#:: The console in front of Kerak begins to flash:: COM: Scimitar: I'm seeing a few ships on my sensors... are they supposed to be there?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - With the next contraction, the pain that Rowan feels seems to diminish, and Jonathan can hear another whisper. A sad sort of whimper..."Please, no...it's too early. I can't, not yet..."
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
COM: This is the Scimitar, they are not. They are Airilian fighters looking for us, which they will an about an hour
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::feels the Scimitar rock slightly and frowns again::  COMM: Shuswap: Mr. Kerak.. the tricorder test has failed... and what ships are you referring too...  CIV: Your choice, Commander...  I think you can supervise from here... we are already a bit thin on officers right now...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles down at Brenna softly, looking into her horribly red eyes:: OPS: Hey, that's fine, just keep breathing for me and stay awake, OK?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Thank you.  I have assigned a team.  they will report regularly.  I can do a lot of the work from here.  ::goes to work, attempting to find power somewhere, to route to emergency force field around engineering::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Pokes the engineer:: Engineer: Whatever it is your doing, do it faster! Those ships out there don't look to friendly.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::moans loudly tearing welling in her eyes as she does her best to control things so she doesn't disturb everyone too much::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: Sir. Might i have a word please? I think the baby has a lot to do with what we are experiencing here
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::After reviewing the readings on his tricorder he has to make a decision:: OPS: Ma'am, I don't think we can make it to sickbay. We will have to do it here.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she nods taking in long slow breaths:: CSO: Just don't go anywhere...just in case...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looking over at the Doctor he shakes his head:: CMO: Unacceptable, get power restored to the transporters and get her there
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::makes his way to the SO::  SO: There have been a few things that cannot be explained about the Delar's situation in the past... so... what's your theory ?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: But sir, the transporters are out, aren't they?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::squeezes Rowan's hand:: CSO: No.. please I'd like to do it in one piece and he's a little unhappy with transporters right now...just...here is fine...please just don't make me move...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I have diverted power from waste reclamation to emergency force fields around engineering.  The area should be re-pressurising, but we still don’t have much in the way of internal sensors.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances over at OPS and the rest::  COMM: Shuswap: Mr. Kerak... see if you can extend the shields of the Shuswap around the Scimitar and tractor here slowly away from here... that might us more time to get repairs down...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CIV: Understood... do we know how things are in the Shuttlebay ?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: I don't know what happened in the past, but i do know that some of us have been hearing whispers. with increasing intensity. I noticed that every time Brenna is in pain it has it's effect on the ship. I cannot tell how or what exactly, but i do know that mother and baby are responsible for the pain some of us are experiencing ::looks at the XO:
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: No-one from that section has been heard from.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods at the OPS:: CSO: Sir, where I come from, we have to respect the whishes of the mother. Would you care to assist me?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Glances at the CSO:: CSO: Your choice.  I can hold this ship together, or get her to sickbay.  not both.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: I am.. slightly telepathic.. I would like to try and make contact with the baby. I'm not sure if it will work, but we need to get that baby calmed down
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::thinks for a moment::  CIV: The Shuttlebay maybe a key in making repairs... sent som ne down there to have a look and report back.... we could get engineers from the Shuswap onboard by shuttle...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looking over to Lessing he glares:: CIV: You keep the ship together and stop talking, OK? ::looking back over to the doctor he nods:: CMO: What've I got to do?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*TO_Blowup*:: Report!
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  SO: Only if the CMO agrees.... question is, are you a qualified telepath ?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Nods at the CO::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#::Pokes the engineer again:: Engineer: You done yet?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::squeezes Rowan's hand:: CSO: Stay calm handsome, I need you
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CO: No I’m not sir. If you know one i would be much obliged.. but at the moment I’m the only one i know of
Host CJ-Tala says:
<TO_Blowup> *CIV*: We've gained access to Main Engineering...and we've found the senior staff sir...::Blowup opens a hatch, and finds some of the Engineers huddled into a jefferies tube - they only barely escaped the void of space::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looking pleased with the help:: CSO: Let's get her as comfortable as we can.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: I'm here, OK, don't worry. Keep breathing and stay relaxed
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> MO: Almost. Activating bussard collectors...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*TO_Blowup*: Good Job, Crewman.  Now, you’ve just been elected my eyes and ears in this ship.  I need to you to get to the Shuttlebay and find out what's going on there.  Understood?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The U.S.S. Shuswap makes a run next to the Scimitar, it's bussard collectors glowing a bright red as they begin to collect the plasma cloud around the Scimitar.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the SO and turns to OPS and the CSO::
Host CJ-Tala says:
<TO_Blowup> *CIV*: Aye sir, on it...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#Engineer: Done yet?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looking at the ops:: OPS: Ma'am, just tell us when you feel ready.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Engineer> MO: Give me a minute. ::He glares at Kerak:: I'm not a miracle worker you know.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::breathes deeply trying to keep everything together hoping her son will calm down a little:: CMO: I'm ready now. it's okay...just tell me what to do okay?...I've never done this before
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Nods to the TO, forgetting in his rush that the TO can't see him::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Sees the nod of the CO as a confirmation and moves closer to Brenna to get better contact with the baby. Carefully he tries to open himself up::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
#Engineer: I never said you were, I just want this damn shuttle as quickly as I can.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::spots the SO and gets a horrible but helpful idea and concentrates hard on him hoping to shift some of her pain to stay more useful::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Let's make some room for the baby, we should remove a part of the uniform.
Host CJ-Tala says:
<Jr_Engineer> CIV: Can't we get main power up faster?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Jr_Engineer: Not now.  I have 19 things to do, all of them annoying.
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The next contraction hits Brenna hard. The burning sensation between the Delar's peeks, and Rowan's hand actually begins to burn. Brenna's eyes glow brighter then ever before, and Pierce, in his attempt to get close, finds himself thrown across the bridge. His head cracks against the back wall of the bridge.

ACTION - The ship shakes violently, the Shuswap rocks, and all over the Scimitar Bridge, consoles explode and sparks fly...
:
ACTION - They are adrift...and they are in trouble...
