Last time on the Scimitar:

The Scimitar recovered the escape pod that contained the CO while the CNS fielded a transmission from Admiral Shinra. The CO joined her shortly after and proceeded to have a conversation with her, in which he relayed what he had learned about the RNO (Romulan New Order), McGlasgow assisting in his escape and the Commander of the Edrani possibly being an insider agent.

The ACEO completed the decryption of the code that the CO provided him, but it had a less than desirable result. As the warp core came back on-line, the systems started to get infected with a virus. Drastic times called for drastic measures as the ACEO cut all power to the ship. Systems not involved in holding the ship together are now off-line – communications, weapons, shields, anti-gravity etc.

If noise dampeners are off-line and there are no lights, can anyone hear the less brave crew-members scream?

<<<<Resume Mission - “Metamorphosis” Part 7 – Do not let us speak of darker days >>>>

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::floats around in the ready room periodically kicking whatever wall comes in to reach first::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::floats around frantically, trying to regain his bearing:: All: Status report!

XO Lt Rokar says:
::floating in a turbolift trying to get to the manual override::

ACTION: As the power goes off line, and the magnetic couplings, the Turbolift with the XO in starts plummeting through it's shaft.

XO Lt Rokar says:
Aloud: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

EO CPO Bachsays:
ACEO: Sir, we have no power. All systems are off-line. Attempting to get over to auxiliary control and see if we can bring some emergency power to our monitors! ::grabs a hold of a wall and tries to crawl::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::tries to "swim" to the cupboard where he keeps his flash light::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::holding herself down in her chair:: OPS: What the hell is happening?!

ACTION: The turbolift comes to a stop.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
EO: Let me know as soon as you have something! ::taps his commbadge:: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is Engineering. Come in Bridge.

XO Lt Rokar says:
Self: OK, concentrate... ::gets a hold of the side of the turbolift and tries to feel for the override button::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::comfortable in the biobed, restraints holding him in place and he lets out a little laugh:: Security: Having fun up there, guys ?

XO Lt Rokar says:
::presses the override button::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*Bridge*: Bridge, respond. ::sighs:: *Anyone*: Anyone receiving this signal ? This is Engineering.

ACTION: Being as the turbolift has no power to over-ride, pushing the button gets no response.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::grabs a hold of a safety railing and starts pulling himself towards the hazard suit changing area::

XO Lt Rokar says:
Self: Strange, no response, I wonder why?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::finds the flash light and grabs a few bits and pieces that may prove useful before crawling along the walls to the main door::

XO Lt Rokar says:
::fumbles around for the manual release::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::arrives at the changing area and the doors will not respond, so he pulls open the hatch and starts pumping the emergency door actuator::

TO Johnson says:
::straps himself into his seats. since the sovereign the finally reintroduced seat::

XO Lt Rokar says:
::pulls the manual release to try open the doors::

ACTION: The turbolift doors open.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::operates the manual release on the ready room door and pulls it open::

XO Lt Rokar says:
::sticks his hand out to see if he is actually on a deck and not between decks::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::floats out onto the bridge, shining his flash light around to see who's floating around::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::the door actuator works and slowly the doors starts to open and he makes his way into the changing room and locates the boots::

FCO Ryan says:
 ::bumps into the CO:: CO: Ah! A Boogy Monster!

EO CPO Bachsays:
ACEO: Sir, we have accessed manual controls, attempting to dump emergency power into main systems!

XO Lt Rokar says:
::floats out and calls out:: Aloud: Hello? Anyone here? Where am I?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::recognises Ryan's voice:: Ryan: Calm down Lieutenant... why isn't anyone here carrying a light?

ACTION: Emergency power comes on-line, which naturally includes artificial gravity, sending anyone floating down to the ground in a hurry.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
All: YAHHH ::thuds:: OW!

FCO Ryan says:
CO: Couldn't find it in the da..aaarK! ::falls down and lands on her console::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::puts the boots on just as the gravity returns:: Self: That was a waste of time::rubs his head::

XO Lt Rokar says:
::lands on the deck with a thump:: Aloud: Hell-ooooph

TO Johnson says:
::gets up from his seat and grins as he hears the FCO fall::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::puts his normal uniform boots on again and races outside to Main Engineering:: EO: Good job, Sarah. Now status report ? Can you bring the main display on-line ?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::taps his comm badge:: *ACEO*: Engineering!!!!

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
CPO_Gettin: Gettin, try and see if we have communications!

FCO Ryan says:
::looks like a contortionist bent backwards over the console:: CO: Um.. a ..leeeetle help?

XO Lt Rokar says:
:: looks for the nearest maintenance hatch for a torch::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::looks down at Ryan:: FCO: Comfortable?

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
CPO_Gettin: Belay that. ::grins and taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Sir, glad to hear from you. Everyone alive up there?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: That's debatable... what the hell happened?

TO Johnson says:
::moves to the tactical station:: CO: Are you okay,sir, this is Chief Johnson,sir

EO CPO Bach says:
::attempts to bring the system status up on the main display::

FCO Ryan says:
CO: Do I look bloody comfortable? Help me! It hurts like hell!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Stay put until we can get medical up here, for all I know you might have broken something.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: Sir, we lost all main systems, along with all main power. My team just managed to access some reserves manually. How ever we are not out of the rough yet.....I have to tell you sir, that this was all my fault. I am sorry....there was a code buried into the subroutine by the impostor...I didn't catch it. It's all on me sir, I accept full responsibility.

TO Johnson says:
CO: Calling sickbay, there might be a med kit somewhere  here, sir

XO Lt Rokar says:
::checks the signboard: Self: Deck 7... Primary Computer core.

FCO Ryan says:
CO: Can you at least.. support... my...owwww ::pauses to grimace:: weight a bit...

TO Johnson says:
*Sickbay*: SCPO Johnson here, can anybody here me?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
TO: I'm well aware who you are chief, I'm not blind. ::grins:: You got any medical experience?

XO Lt Rokar says:
::starts making his way to the Computer Core:: *Bridge*: Lieutenant Ro'kar to the Bridge, are comms working? Hello? Testing?

TO Johnson says:
CO: Senior chief,sir, I work for a living,sir, Ah I know how to use a scalpel,sir, but not in the good way,sir

EO CPO Bachsays:
ACEO: Sir, I have main status on-line Transferring to main display. ::lights up the large display showing a cross section of the ship, all covered in red markings::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Just fix it... and be quick about it... they want us out of this race for a reason and I want to know what it is.

TO Johnson says:
CO: Nice story,sir, got stuck in a med post during the dominion war, you know you can split a man right open with on of those laser scalpels if your quick,sir?

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: Aye sir. I can't give you an estimate just yet, we just got our consoles back on-line There will be a while until I can restore main power to the Bridge, just hang in there and bring the manual controls on where you can. Strauss out.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: Stop shouting and get back up here, bring some medics with you, we have a human Rubik cube up here needs de-tangling.

CSO Lt York says:
::Struggles against his restraints as sickbay continues to clean up the mess after gravity was restored:: All: Let me go!

FCO Ryan says:
CO: I'm not tangled... I'm positionally confused!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
TO: You're starting to sound like someone I used to work with... he died... just get over here and hold her up.

TO Johnson says:
::gets the med kit:: FCO: Now, Lieutenant I might have some drugs in here which will make you feel fine,sir ::gets out the medical tricorder::

XO Lt Rokar says:
*CO*: With all due respect, sir, I am not trusting the turbolifts right now. I am two corridors away from the computer core, if this was a virus I might be able to do some investigation... sir

FCO Ryan says:
TO: Inject me with everything you've got.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::stares at the display:: Self: Christ....mains are off-line, warp core off-line, life support off-line, turbolifts off-line...::notices a code being introduced into food processing on level 6:: DAMN!

TO Johnson says:
:: Does a scan of the  FCO::  FCO: Now you be quiet lass and Olde skip will make sure you don't break anything else.

FCO Ryan says:
::starts passing out::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Strauss. Seems bringing emergency power on-line is allowing the malicious code to continue it's work, it's spreading on deck 6 now.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
TO: Just try and keep her in one piece until the pros arrive Skippy.

TO Johnson says:
CO: Doesn't look good,sir. Internal bleeding. FCO: Snap out of it lieutenant I need you awake, where are you from, lass!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Then stop the damn thing!

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: I have a course of action, but it is not recommended especially with all safeties still off-line

TO Johnson says:
CO: 30 years in the fleet, I believe I am a pro,sir

XO Lt Rokar says:
::enters the Computer Core and looks around:: Self: I am a doctor not a programmer, but I guess I should try

XO Lt Rokar says:
*Engineering*:  Ro'kar to Engineering, do you still perchance have that Operations whiz with you still?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Cutting power to the entire ship isn't exactly recommended Strauss!!! Just FIX IT!

TO Johnson says:
FCO: Wake up,lieutenant CO: Could you give her a slap,sir!

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: To put it simple, I need to do a complete restart of all major systems, in fact shutting down all systems for about a minute to flush the code, then I can bring one deck at a time on-line and use the reset codes to bring it back to, well...factory settings. It won't be pretty, but it will flush out any codes not belonging, along with all modifications of the last 3 years. After we bring it down, I can start

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
TO: At this point I'd probably knock her block off... either you do it or give her a stimulant.

TO Johnson says:
CO: I am not striking an officer, sir and drugs won't help,sir!

FCO Ryan says:
::out cold, starts slumping::

MO Jekra says:
::moves over:: CO: Sorry.. hard to get here with no power...

XO Lt Rokar says:
::accesses the primary computer core and examines how the virus is infecting the systems:: Self: This is just like a living virus, cut off the supply and it stops, right... so if I attempt to isolate it....

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Get a medikit for godssakes!! Don't hit her! 

TO Johnson says:
MO: She's passed out,massive internal bleeding I'm trying to keep her awake.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Do it. ::taps his badge closing the comm:: MO: About damn time... she's over there. ::points::

TO Johnson says:
::hears the CNS:: CNS: Trying to keep her alive,Lieutenant.

MO Jekra says:
::gives the TO a 'Gibbs slap' on the back of his head:: TO: Hit her? Idiot. ::opens her tricorder and scans::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: While she's out, can't you de'tangle her before you bring her round?

TO Johnson says:
MO: Drugs won't work, doc, I have seen these wounds before

XO Lt Rokar says:
*CO*: Ro'kar to Captain MacAllister, I am at the computer core, I could try isolating the virus. What is the progress on the Bridge?

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: Aye sir, remember this will cut off gravity again for about a minute. Everyone hang in there. I will start with flushing deck 1 first, then move my way down. Expect main power in a couple of minutes. Strauss out. ::thinks this is a gamble, but he didn't become an engineer to stand by::

MO Jekra says:
TO: Yeah? Where did they teach you that? The on-line degree from the University of Easy Learning?!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: Strauss is going to try a hard reboot, let's see if that works first.

TO Johnson says:
MO: If you want her in cardiac arrest I suggest using that cordozine hypo

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*Shipwide*: This is ACEO Strauss, hold on to something, we are taking gravity off-line for a whole minute, then expect power outage for the next half hour until all decks are restored! Engineering out.

XO Lt Rokar says:
*CO*: A hard reboot...Alright, Captain. I will wait.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: I do think that Dr. Jekra knows what he's doing... 

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::accesses main computer controls and starts the process::

TO Johnson says:
MO: Front linesss fighting the jem'hadar,klingons before that and the cardassians before that,you?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
All: Flash lights on now people.

MO Jekra says:
TO: Be quiet! I'm concentrating! She has broken her back in 3 places... We need to get her to surgery.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::kills power to all systems and takes the main computer off-line for a cold restart::

MO Jekra says:
TO: Don't make me sedate you.

TO Johnson says:
MO:  Who will carry her?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::puts her head in her hand and sighs; she feels useless in this situation:: 

CSO Lt York says:
::hears the announcement:: Self: Great, here we go again.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
TO: With the gravity off that shouldn't be a problem.

MO Jekra says:
TO: My nursing staff, or you. You look more brawn than brains.

ACTION: Power goes down again.

TO Johnson says:
CO: without gravity we still need to strap her on a gurney,sir, the spine won't hold,sir

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::and the CO goes up::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::holds on to a safety railing:: Self: Here we go people....59.....58..

XO Lt Rokar says:
::holds onto the console:: Self: Glad I didn't eat much this morning

TO Johnson says:
MO: Starts moving for the FCO. MO: We need to keep her spine in place,doc, or am I wrong?

MO Jekra says:
TO: Absolutely.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss_ says:
::sees the console come back on-line and starts the resetting deck 1 to default settings, hopefully bringing power and systems on-line in the process::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
Self: Luckily, this anti-gravity is good for my back...

TO Johnson says:
MO: Right or wrong,doc? As far as I know with gravity off, the spine isn't supported and might cause more injuries,

MO Jekra says:
TO: Actually without gravity, it'd be easier. It's her weight we need to even out.

XO Lt Rokar says:
::hums some classical music::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss_ says:
::wipes the deck of all new codes and brings it back on-line:: Self: Please god, let this work and I will never have another cigar.

TO Johnson says:
MO: ah, that was the one, you take head I'll take the feet, CNS can even out the middle?

MO Jekra says:
TO: Suppose. CNS: Ready?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::floats around on the bridge wondering which deck he's going to switch back on first::

ACTION: The power come back on-line. And the CO comes down.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::gets up to help:: MO: You know it's really bad when you gotta ask the pregnant woman to help carry someone... 

TO Johnson says:
::Holding the FCO by the feet he softly lands:: self: 30 years and this still makes me sick

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::hits the deck again, this time landing on his OTHER hip:: All: GAD DAMMIT!

MO Jekra says:
CNS: A little exercise would do you some good, actually. Eating a lot of cheesecake before you go to bed?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
MO: EXCUSE ME???!!

XO Lt Rokar says:
Self: At least all this holding is building my grip, might improve my handling of that new sword I received

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss_ says:
::lets out a whoo:: All: Main power restored to deck 1 people! Let's get the rest of the ship working, we need to get to deck 7 as soon as we possibly can! ::continues to bringing deck 2 on-line::

MO Jekra says:
CNS: Sorry... as far as bad days go, mine takes a back seat to Lieutenant Ryan here... We can discuss a better diet for you later.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::picks himself up and looks around to see if any of the consoles are working::

TO Johnson says:
CNS: Well, ma'am, I'm a man and I believe the MO tries to act like one now and again and it would be more Politically correct if a women carried that middle part, ma'am

MO Jekra says:
TO: If I wasn't supporting the FCO, I'd slap you again. Now let's get going before it's too late.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss_ says:
All: Deck 2 on-line.

TO Johnson says:
MO: Aye-aye,doc ::grins::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::her eyes well up with tears:: MO: Well you need plastic surgery for that face but you don't see me saying that to you?! 

TO Johnson says:
CNS: You look lovely,ma'am how far are you if you don't mind me asking, ma'am

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: YOU SHUT UP! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR LIP!!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sits in his chair, feeling a little strange to actually be sitting on something that's attached to the ship::

TO Johnson says:
CNS: Hey I didn't knock you up, I'm just trying to stop you from blubbering,,ma'am

TO Johnson says:
MO: Seems like it worked,doc :: a grin appears on his face::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
Self: Deck 6 on-line.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: STOP TALKING!!!

TO Johnson says:
CNS: The husband headed for the hills I imagine

MO Jekra says:
TO: STOP TALKING!!!

XO Lt Rokar says:
::is practising his kata in the dark, while still holding onto the console::

TO Johnson says:
MO/TO: waiting for that magic word.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: THAT'S AN ORDER!!! 

TO Johnson says:
CNS: that works as well.

MO Jekra says:
TO: And he still talks...

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::hopes deck 7 comes on-line without hassle.....they desperately need computer control up on the Bridge::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::taps his Badge:: *ACEO*: Give me some good news Strauss.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::rounds on the MO like a tiger:: MO: YOU TOO!

TO Johnson says:
::Grins:: self: In the merry month of June from me home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam so nearly broken hearted

ACTION: Power on deck 7 comes on-line as easily as the other decks.

TO Johnson says:
::Keeps humming rocky road to Dublin::

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::lets out another whoo and taps his commbadge::*Bridge*: Bridge, come in. Are you receiving me ?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::feels like she could strangle the TO this very minute::

XO Lt Rokar says:
::drops to the floor, narrowly missing the console and gets up quickly::

TO Johnson says:
::softly singing to himself:: self:One two three four five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol la de rah!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: It's either you or the voices in my head... what's your status?

MO Jekra says:
TO: You;re like a Ferengi who sold his voice... just Ssssh!

XO Lt Rokar says:
::sits down at the console and begins checking the status of the computer core for signs of the virus::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
TO: If you make another SOUND, I'm going to write in your psycho-eval that you are a serial killer!!

TO Johnson says:
CNS: I have to give up my Jem'hadar nose collection?

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*Bridge*: Captain, you have full computer control.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*Bridge*: We still have a few decks to go, a few more minutes until I get Main Engineering on-line and the core, but we did it.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Self: About damn time... ::accesses his chair console::

MO Jekra says:
TO: Right now I am thinking to break yours, so ssh!

TO Johnson says:
::keeps on humming rocky road to Dublin::

Chair Console says:
CO: Loading...

ACTION: After all the stress of gravity and power systems, the COs fickle chair falls down.

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
::gets the last decks on-line:: *Bridge*: Bridge, we are fully back on-line. Bringing the warp core on-line as we speak....will need to run some tests, but if everything checks out we can be on our way in ten to fifteen minutes.

XO Lt Rokar says:
*Bridge*: Lieutenant Ro'kar to the Bridge, power is back on-line here. I am running a scan for the virus, so far, so good

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
All: Not AGAIN!!!!!!

ACEO LtCmdr Strauss says:
*CO*: All systems are operational, but we will need to dock and do a full overhaul sir...when you can. It won't be the same as before, but for now. She's back.
