USS Seleya - Stardate 10004.23

Host Cheryl says:
SUMMARY:  Seleya is still at Charnok, having rendezvoused with the USS Merrimac, which will be taking up monitoring of the Charnokan situation to determine long-term effects of Federation interference there.

Captain Bolitho and XO Jean have departed already for Starbase 13, to begin proceedings on a possible board of inquiry.

Captain Crayne, who arrived on the Merrimac, has assumed temporary command of the USS Seleya, and will command her on her return to the starbase, after the data transfer to Merrimac is completed.

MO: If you don't mind.  *CEO*:  Have you been taking your hypo like I suggested??

CTO_Esjam says:
::Smiles:: CNS: Almost Counsellor, I still get some pain

CNS_Lerner says:
CTO:  I hope someone is making sure of TVok's comfort ... that is one witness we do not need to lose!

MO_Suder says:
CMO: your heart rate has increased a lot...are you feeling ok?  ::grins a little bit::

CEO_Lira says:
*MO* sort of

CMO_Viper says:
*CEO*:  That's what I thought.  Come in later on and we'll boost it up.

CEO_Lira says:
*MO* Okay

CTO_Esjam says:
TO: One, a Vulcan is in the brig, the rest are in deck twelve

MO: I've been learning some very old psychic techniques.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Time passes, and the Seleya is now about four hours into their journey

TO_Shilp says:
::heads toward turbolift::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: It's very interesting.

MO_Suder says:
*TO*: report to Sickbay Ensign with the Captains permission

CNS_Lerner says:
::smiles at the CTO:: Esjam ... I was sure you had it in hand .... Captain Crayne?  a good officer I am sure ... getting close to retirement I think ...

SO_Drum says:
::is still doing nothing::

MO_Suder says:
CMO: psychic?...like what?   ::finishes her scans::

CTO_Esjam says:
CNS: Yes it must be hard to retire after such a long career

OPS_Urk says:
::being stuck down in Engineering on the last shift, Urk has only heard rumours of what took place back at the planet::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Suddenly, all console displays suddenly display a large Omega symbol.... it flashes on and then off again

TO_Shilp says:
*MO Suder* : I’m checking on our guest. I’ll be there shortly maam.

EO_O-Riley says:
:: feels something inside him    he hasn't had the time to go to the toilet before his duty ::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: Well I've been learning to read the tarot cards, and I'm beginning to use clairvoyance and intuition.

CTO_Esjam says:
*CO* Sir, I think you had better come out here

OPS_Urk says:
::jerks alert::

MO_Suder says:
*TO*: understood...

CEO_Lira says:
:: starts repairing leak::

CNS_Lerner says:
CTO:  I hate it when ......::sees a strange symbol:: What the heck is that?!?

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The symbols repeat, every ten seconds, every console on the ship displaying them

SO_Drum says:
CTO: sir, nothing is working anymore

CO_Crayne says:
::exits Ready Room :: CTO: What is it ?

OPS_Urk says:
::Tries to clear the console screen::

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: look :: Points to the displays::

SO_Drum says:
::taps all controls::

::thinks ut oh ::

CNS_Lerner says:
::tries to break past the symbol ... no effect::

OPS_Urk says:
::checks for an incoming signal::

EO_O-Riley says:
Computer: begin a permanent scan of the warp core and life support systems and report when something unusual happens.

CO_Crayne says:
::Goes to centre chair and hits an override ::

CTO_Esjam says:
CNS: ::whispers:: I have a bad feeling about this

MO_Suder says:
::outs her tricorder down:: ~~~CMO: you're fine...just use telepathy a bit more, that’s not something you want to lose...~~~  CMO: really?...can you see what we're in for then?

SO_Drum says:

CNS_Lerner says:
::nods:: CTO: me too .... I have not seen that before

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, what is it?

CO_Crayne says:
Science: Can you detect where that particle is and where it came from ?

MO_Suder says:
::notices consoles displaying something unusual::  Self: what the...

CNS_Lerner says:
CTO: ::whispering:: but I think the Captain knows what it is ....

OPS_Urk says:
CO: This thing doesn't seem to be interfering with system operations, just annoying.

SO_Drum says:
::scans the area::

CMO_Viper says:
~~~MO: Of course~~~  MO: I'm not that good, yet.  I've been learning to do readings for a person, about them.  You know, future, present, etc.

CTO_Esjam says:
CNS: Have you heard of something called the 'Omega Directive'? I don't know what it is, just rumours

EO_O-Riley says:
:: scans his terminal with a tricorder ::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: What's that?  ::motions to console::

SO_Drum says:
CO: sir, its coming from our port side, 10 billion km away::

CTO: No Sir ... I have not heard of any such ... do you know something?

CO_Crayne says:
Science: Recommendations on destroying it ?

MO_Suder says:
CMO: you'll have to read into my future sometime

EO_O-Riley says:
*Bridge*: what happened ?

Nick says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, sir  ::makes the necessary adjustments::

SO_Drum says:
CO: destroying it?

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Aye sir, ::mutters:: if we can figure that out.

CMO_Viper says:
MO:  Whenever you want.

SO_Drum says:
CO: it is coming from a planet

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Yes, destroying it

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  The Omega symbol continues blinking on every console

CTO_Esjam says:
*TO*: Thank you. It's the same here. Keep a close eye on the Vulcan, TVok. he mustn't get out of the brig, no matter what

CEO_Lira says:

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Aye sir, Maximum warp..

SO_Drum says:
CO: shouldn't we inform Starfleet?

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, are we going into a combat situation?

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Maximum shielding

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Make your weapons "hot"

CMO_Viper says:
MO: It's an Omega symbol.

CNS_Lerner says:
::starts to worry a lot::

SO_Drum says:
CO: Sir, there something strange about the planet atmosphere

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Warp 9.85

EO_O-Riley says:
:: moves out of the bathroom  and sits down at his terminal ::

CEO_Lira says:
:: Enters sickbay:: MO: okay I’m here don’t shout

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Raises shields, arm weapons and signals 'Red Alert'::

MO_Suder says:
CMO: I know its the omega symbol...but why is it here?

CEO_Lira says:
:: hears Red Alert:: *EO* what’s going on

SO_Drum says:
CO: there is a large amount of the strange particle

CTO_Esjam says:
*TO* We are going to red alert. Sorry for the rough induction. Be ready for combat and possible power losses to the brig

CO_Crayne says:
::enters a command code that kills the Flashing Omega ::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: Not a clue.  Let me check the computer banks.

MO_Suder says:
::sees CEO enter::  CEO: Hi Tam

CNS_Lerner says:
::walks across to Science console:: SO:  do we have any sort of analysis on that thing?

EO_O-Riley says:
*CEO* not sure ... still checking Main Engineering's terminals .

TO_Shilp says:
*CTO* Aye sir.

MO_Suder says:
::nods to CMO::  CEO: any idea what that is?  ::pointing to console::

SO_Drum says:
CO: the particle comes from the planet of Krechson an L-class planet

CMO_Viper says:
::walks over to office and checks info on Omega::

CEO_Lira says:
MO: hi Kes no I don’t

CO_Crayne says:
SO: I want all the data you can give me on the main screen

OPS_Urk says:
::Notes that the flashing icon has stopped::

TO_Shilp says:
:: Grabs Phaser and sets it to max. stun and waits::

SO_Drum says:

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Planetary data as well

CEO_Lira says:
*EO* let me know when you do

CNS_Lerner says:
::is relieved not to be seeing the omega symbol, but is worried about its significance ... and why the ship should immediately go to red alert::

EO_O-Riley says:
*CEO*: of course.

CEO_Lira says:
MO: can you sort these pains

SO_Drum says:
CO: Sir, notice the fact that the area has been sealed off before

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Noted

MO_Suder says:
::grabs a tricorder:: CEO: no point in standing around...  ::begins to scan her::

CNS_Lerner says:
::returns to her chair and calls up data on the planetary system they are aiming for::

SO_Drum says:
::transfers all data::

CTO_Esjam says:
CTO: Sir we should contact command before entering a quarantine area

CMO_Viper says:
Self: Classified!  What??

MO_Suder says:
CMO: what’s wrong?

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Sir .... a highly evolved species .... but not deemed fit for Federation membership ....

CMO_Viper says:
::stands up and walks over to where Dr. Suder and Lira are standing::

CEO_Lira says:
MO: dam pains in my chest

CO_Crayne says:
::begins reading and frowns ::

CO_Crayne says:
::twirls the ball bearings furiously ::

CMO_Viper says:
MO, CEO: It's highly classified.  Only Captains and above can look at it.  WE don't have a high enough authorization code.

CO_Crayne says:
Cns: Noted

MO_Suder says:
CEO: it seems the toxin is still there...I’ll give you something for it...and please use it?  ::administers 10 cc of Hyronalyn::

SO_Drum says:
CO: I read a massive grow in particles

CNS_Lerner says:
::sits slightly further away from the CO ... those ball bearings could be painful if her head got in the way::

EO_O-Riley says:
*SO*: do you have any idea what this could be ??

CO_Crayne says:
SO: I hope we are in time

MO_Suder says:
CMO: really?...better ask the captain about it then...

SO_Drum says:
*EO* no idea!

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir? Should we hold our position outside the quarantine zone?

CEO_Lira says:
:: Looks at MO:: MO: okay

CO_Crayne says:
FCO: ETA ?

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Negative we are going in

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  A distress call is picked up, coming from a freighter vessel in another direction from the particle reading

CEO_Lira says:
*EO* everything okay down there

CMO_Viper says:
MO: I'm going to head up to the bridge.

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, may I ask why?

MO_Suder says:
::hands CEO the hypo::  CEO: once today before you go to sleep and again when you wake up...and then, you should be fine...

EO_O-Riley says:
*CEO* yes but still no idea ... Sorry.

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Good question sir...all we're doing is following a signal.

CNS_Lerner says:
::sits back in her chair .... hopes the CO knows what he is doing::

MO_Suder says:
::nods to CMO:: CMO: understood

SO_Drum says:
CO: the particles seem to be unstable

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Noted

SO_Drum says:
::scans the particle emissions::

CEO_Lira says:
MO: okay am I free to leave

CMO_Viper says:
::leaves Sickbay and heads down hall towards a turbolift::

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Looks like 15 minutes to the source of the signal.

MO_Suder says:
CEO: yup...better get back down to Engineering, I think something is brewing...

CMO_Viper says:
::enters Turbolift::  TL: Bridge!

CNS_Lerner says:
::wonders where her trust in superior officers went ....::

CO_Crayne says:
::mutters under his breath ::

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, I am concerned about this course of action. I must ask you again why are we breaking the quarantine?

MO_Suder says:
::wondering why there were Greek letters all over Sickbay for a while::

SO_Drum says:
CO: there is no existing data on this particle, why did the computer act on it then?

CEO_Lira says:
:: Wonders if she should go to the bridge but decides not to ::

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Because we must, an Omega particle destroyed the ship my family was on when I was a lad

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Distress call coming in.

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Distress call repeats

CO_Crayne says:
OPS: Ignore it

CMO_Viper says:
::exits Turbolift and walks onto the bridge behind everyone::

EO_O-Riley says:
:: monitors the engines and tries to keep temperature low ::

CNS_Lerner says:
::is alarmed at Crayne's statement .... is this some sort of revenge psychosis?::

OPS_Urk says:
::Turns to CO:: CO: Sir?

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: I’m sorry to hear that sir, but why go after this one and endanger the ship. We also are duty bound to answer that distress call

CMO_Viper says:
::senses tension in the room::

CO_Crayne says:
OPS: Yes?

CEO_Lira says:
MO: Kes I’ll talk to you later can I go

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Distress call indicates freighter has sustained a massive systems failure; life support remaining, two hours...

SO_Drum says:
CO: I have analysed the particles and I think we can either stabilise them or destroy them with a high energy beam

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Starfleet regs require us to give assistance.

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: We answer a higher calling now

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Sir ... we have orders to report to Starbase 13 for a Board of Inquiry .... does this mean this thing is more important Sir?

MO_Suder says:
::begins pacing, sensing the crew is worried::  CEO: sure...have fun

CTO_Esjam says:

CNS_Lerner says:
::checks around the bridge:: All on bridge: I guess I have the bridge ... follow the Captain's last directive

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  A subspace message comes in, message requesting assistance from another Federation vessel, reporting two Romulan vessels on wrong side of the Neutral Zone

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: I have my reasons which you can not be privy to

CMO_Viper says:
::walks over to the counsellor::  CNS: You're in charge?

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, with all due respect, that is not good enough

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: It has to be

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: ::looks at CNS :: another message requesting assistance...

TO_Shilp says:
::Arrives on the bridge and takes over at tactical::

MO_Suder says:
::has no idea what’s going on and is getting rather worried::

CNS_Lerner says:
OPS:  On screen ....

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, I am asking you to justify what you are asking us to do

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: I feel the Captain has good motives.  He knows what he's doing.  ::whispers a bit::

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: I'm not sure what's going on here though...

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: A federation ship, reporting two Romulans on our side of the neutral zone.

CNS_Lerner says:
*CO* We have a report of Romulan incursion into the Neutral Zone ... should we divert Sir?

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Mister Esjam, I have taken an oath , and I am sworn to uphold it, I can not tell you why

CEO_Lira says:
:: Leaves turbolift and enters Main Engineering: EO: status report

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: They're requesting assistance.

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO: Sir .... I think you should take the bridge .... I am concerned for Crayne's mental stability

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: everything's right ... ok not everything but main systems 100 %

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: And I have sworn the same oath you have sir. We must fulfil our duty to the Federation before ourselves

TO_Shilp says:
::Checks the readings on the tactical board::

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: And of course there is still that freighter

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: If you wish.

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Mister Esjam, that much we can agree to

CEO_Lira says:
:: Looks at EO: EO: well what’s not right then

CNS_Lerner says:
OPS: I know Ensign .... but we must wait on the Captain

SO_Drum says:
CNS: ma'am the source is a densely populated area on the planet

CNS_Lerner says:
*CO*  Should we divert to discourage the Romulan problem Sir?

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Good, in that case sir, turn us around and lets deal with the real problems we are facing, the Romulans and the Freighter

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: first this omega... then some problems with this plasma relay on deck 24 ... life support

CO_Crayne says:
*CNS*: No. Keep headed to the origin of the Omega particles readings

OPS_Urk says:
::Shakes head at the Counsellor’s words::

CNS_Lerner says:
All on bridge:: Dr. Viper has the bridge   *CO* Aye Sir

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: Fill me in please.

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, I see no reason for your actions and I have to question your ability to continue to command the ship

CEO_Lira says:
EO: plasma relays been repaired, what’s wrong with life support

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO: Well ... I tried!  The Captain has us breaking quarantine following a trail to some strange particle .. but will not tell us about it ... now you know as much as I do ... there have been two distress calls which he is ignoring

CNS_Lerner says:
::shakes head::

SO_Drum says:
::scans the particles signal::

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: life support is on deck 24 ... that's the problem sir !

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: 2 distress calls?!

OPS_Urk says:
::Stands as FCO MGhia approaches::

CEO_Lira says:
EO: go deal with it please anything else

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Time folds, and the Seleya arrives in the Krechson system

FCO_MGhia says:
::nods to Urk and takes her seat at FCO::

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO: From a freighter ... and a report of Romulans entering the Neutral Zone

SO_Drum says:
::scans for the Romulan vessels::

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: no not at the moment ..

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: You may relieve me , by Article 19 , if you can find concurrence

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: OK.  He has his reasons, and I feel they are true.

OPS_Urk says:
::Notes incoming warning message::

CMO_Viper says:
::sits down in main chair::

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO: Glad to hear it .... telepathy can be useful!

EO_O-Riley says:
:: takes his tools and leaves Main Engineering ::

OPS_Urk says:
::takes OPS control back at his console::

CTO_Esjam says:
::exits the Ready Room:: CMO: Sir, I have to report that I do not consider the CO fit for command and I see to relieve him under article 19, if you concur

CMO_Viper says:
CNS:  Sometimes, and this better be one of them.

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: Counsellor, there is a warning beacon here.

FCO_MGhia says:
::checks the course:: CMO: Holding course towards the particle, sir

SO_Drum says:
*CO*: the people on the freighter have died

CNS_Lerner says:
::is shocked at Esjam's words:: CTO:  Is he unfit?

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: This system is interdicted.

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Regrettable ::is sad::

EO_O-Riley says:
:: enters turbolift :: deck 24

CNS_Lerner says:
OPS: Maintain course Ensign, until ordered otherwise

FCO_MGhia says:
::turns a little in horror on hearing Esjam's words::

SO_Drum says:
CNS: What? I can’t believe he said that!

CMO_Viper says:
CTO:  What are your reasons?

SO_Drum says:
ALL: regrettable?

CTO_Esjam says:
CMO: He appears to be issuing irrational orders and his failure to act has caused loss of life on that freighter we received a distress call from

OPS_Urk says:
::Nods to FCO to ensure he got that instruction::

CNS_Lerner says:
CTO: Permission to visit the Captain in his Ready Room?

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: Do you concur?  You know where I stand.

EO_O-Riley says:
*CEO* please deactivate the plasma stream on deck 24 section 4 for exactly 2 minutes.

FCO_MGhia says:
CNS: Aye, sir.  Maintaining course

CTO_Esjam says:
CNS: As you wish

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO: I have no evidence that he is unfit to command ... I should try to talk to him maybe?

EO_O-Riley says:
:: leaves turbolift and heads for the relay ::

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: I agree.

CEO_Lira says:
:: Deactivates plasma :: *EO* okay its deactivated

SO_Drum says:
CTO: he let those people die!

EO_O-Riley says:
:: opens the wall and sees a lot of damage ::

CMO_Viper says:
CTO: At this time, I don't see enough evidence.  CNS: You have 5 minutes, then I want your report.

CTO_Esjam says:
SO: I am well aware of that particular failure Ensign

CNS_Lerner says:
::walks across to where the Captain is standing:: Captain ... we need to know more ... is there nothing you can tell us that will explain this situation?

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Uh, Captain...that warning is very clear...this system is interdicted...

SO_Drum says:
::feels really upset about the apparent unconcern of the captain::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Science sensors pick up increased levels of emission from the particle source

EO_O-Riley says:
:: takes out his tools and doing adjustments ::

CTO_Esjam says:
CMO: Aye sir

CO_Crayne says:
CNS: I am afraid I can not tell you why this is of overriding importance

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Sir ... can you at least assure me that this is not some sort of personal vendetta?

SO_Drum says:
CO: sir this is getting hot, the energy levels are off the scale

CMO_Viper says:
*MO*: Please report to the bridge.  I need your medical and Betazoid advice.

CEO_Lira says:
*CO* will I be needed on the bridge

FCO_MGhia says:
CO : Continuing to hold course.  I am ready to change it to the neutral zone on your orders, sir.

CO_Crayne says:
SO: Have you begun preparation of the high energy pulse ?

SO_Drum says:
CO: yes sir

CO_Crayne says:
CNS: It is not exclusively

SO_Drum says:
::works on the final touches of the beam::

EO_O-Riley says:
:: is ready but not sure about the relay ::

OPS_Urk says:
::Really wishes he had taken up his uncle's offer to transfer to the Gryphon::

CMO_Viper says:
*MO*: Please report to the bridge.  I need your medical and Betazoid advice.

CNS_Lerner says:
CO:  I know that you have reasons .... but are they Starfleet's reasons or just your own .... we must know that ...

EO_O-Riley says:
:: scans the relay ::

SO_Drum says:
CO: there is a problem however, the particle are situated in  a densely populated area, firing the beam will kill lots of people

MO_Suder says:
*CMO*: understood...on my way...

CTO_Esjam says:
CMO: If we fire, the loss of life will be phenomenal, you surely are not going to allow this?

CEO_Lira says:
:: Doesn’t get an answer from the CO smiles to herself and goes into her office::

CO_Crayne says:
CNS: It is a day that I have often feared, but it is for Starfleet that I do this

OPS_Urk says:
::focuses scans on the particle emission::

MO_Suder says:
::rushes out of Sickbay and into the turbolift::

MO_Suder says:
TL: bridge

FCO_MGhia says:
CO:  Still waiting your orders on any course adjustments, captain.

CNS_Lerner says:
::looks across to the CMO - who must be listening in:: CMO: You concur ... this is the truth?

CMO_Viper says:
CTO: I understand.  The Captain is still the Captain though.

MO_Suder says:
::turbolift stops and she steps out onto bridge, finds CMO and moves over to him:: CMO: sir?

CMO_Viper says:
CNS: ......I do.

OPS_Urk says:
CO: Captain, the source of that signal is coming from the dead centre of the largest city on that planet.  Which I remind you is interdicted.

CMO_Viper says:
MO: What are you feeling about our Captain?

CTO_Esjam says:
::Walks to TO:: TO: do you have a phaser with you?

CEO_Lira says:
:: Sits down and starts on her report ::

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: My apologies Sir ... but Seleya has had one bad experience with the Prime Directive already as you know ... we must be sure that the Chain of Command is valid

CO_Crayne says:
Urk: Noted, CTO: Prepare to fire

TO_Shilp says:
CTO: Aye sir.

EO_O-Riley says:
:: finishes his work and closes the wall ::

SO_Drum says:
CTO: shouldn't we warn the people?

OPS_Urk says:
CO: What?!!!

CMO_Viper says:
CO: The Bridge is yours.  ::gets up out of chair.

EO_O-Riley says:
*CEO* repairs ready !

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: No sir, I will not fire on an undefended target without good reason

MO_Suder says:
::thinks:: CMO; honestly...he’s stubborn  ::tries to find the word::  ... em, set in his ways...why?

FCO_MGhia says:
CO: Fire on the planet, sir?

OPS_Urk says:
::thinks this is enough::

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: Then Step down and let the TO do the firing

CMO_Viper says:
MO: We may have a problem.

CEO_Lira says:
*EO* okay finish up and I will get plasma back online

CNS_Lerner says:
CMO:  I cannot support relieving Captain Crayne of command .... :: is white and shaking with strain as another nightmare threatens to come true::

OPS_Urk says:
::looks around the bridge::

MO_Suder says:
::looks around and sees people looking rather worried::  CMO: a problem?...with the CO?

EO_O-Riley says:
:: moves to the next turbolift ::

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: No sir, we will not fire on a civilian target without good cause ::locks out tactical console::

SO_Drum says:
CO: I will not have a part in this ::disables the beam::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: Possibly.

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: You must be kidding.

CMO_Viper says:
::moves over and stands with the Counsellor::

CO_Crayne says:
TO: Escort the CTO to the brig

MO_Suder says:
CMO: can you explain?

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: Firing on a civilian target which has been interdicted?

CTO_Esjam says:
TO: Stand down Ensign

TO_Shilp says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Viper says:
MO: He is ignoring other distress calls to destroy a particle.

MO_Suder says:
::hears the CO's words and takes a deep breath in::  Self: oh no

CNS_Lerner says:
OPS:  No Ensign ... I feel the Captain is truthful and I have no reason to suppose he wishes personal revenge ...

CMO_Viper says:
MO: But we feel he knows what he's doing.

MO_Suder says:
CMO: *a* particle, as in one single one?

TO_Shilp says:
CTO: I’m Sorry sir I have to follow CO’s orders.

CTO_Esjam says:
::Doesn't move::

CNS_Lerner says:
::white and tense::

CEO_Lira says:
:: starts to get annoyed with the report::

CMO_Viper says:
MO: As far as I know, yes.

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: There are many sides to truth.

FCO_MGhia says:
CO:  In weapons range of the planet surface, sir

SO_Drum says:
CO: there could be another way!

CO_Crayne says:
FCO: Very well

TO_Shilp says:
::Draws phaser and aims it at CTO::

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Sir ... is there no way we could evacuate those in line of fire?

SO_Drum says:
CO: we could beam the particles directly into space and then destroy them

TO_Shilp says:
CTO: Sir please don’t make me do it.

CTO_Esjam says:
TO: I suggest you point that some where else Ensign

CO_Crayne says:
CNS: As all have pointed out there is no contact with these people ::frowns:: I wish there were

OPS_Urk says:
::Secures the Weapons operations from his console::

MO_Suder says:
CMO: how did this all happen  ::trying to stay impartial::

TO_Shilp says:
CO: should I stun the CTO?

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Then we could act on SO Drum's suggestion ..... and avoid the death toll?

CO_Crayne says:
TO: If that is what it takes

CMO_Viper says:
MO: I'm not entirely sure, but this is getting out of hand.

OPS_Urk says:
::Tries to lock out the weapons systems::

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: What you are doing is wrong, we belong to Starfleet which stands for something more than petty revenge

TO_Shilp says:
CTO: sir please..........

FCO_MGhia says:
::turns to look at Urk, to say "what should we do?"::

SO_Drum says:
::runs a test on the idea::

CEO_Lira says:
:: Throws the padd in annoyance and gets up ::

OPS_Urk says:
::Shrugs at FCO::

CTO_Esjam says:
::Looks the TO in the eye:: TO: Hand me the phaser mister

EO_O-Riley says:
:: enters Main Engineering and sees the padd flying ::

TO_Shilp says:
CTO: No sir I cant do that.

MO_Suder says:
:should probably do something but hasn't enough information::

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: Hey Lira . Are you all right ?

SO_Drum says:
::sees a destructive result::

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Drum's tests are inconclusive; too little known data on the particle source

CO_Crayne says:
CTO: I would hate to see the charge of mutiny on your record

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: At least let us try to talk ..... maybe we can shut whatever it is down without destroying it?

OPS_Urk says:
CNS: I don't care what "good feelings" you are receiving from him, this firing on a civilian target is wrong.

CTO_Esjam says:
CO: if it stops genocide I'm willing to take that risk

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Readings from the planet indicate further increased levels from the particle

CEO_Lira says:
starts laughing:: EO: yes I’m fine are the repairs done

FCO_MGhia says:
CNS Lerner:  I agree with Urk, sir

MO_Suder says:
CMO: genocide?...mutiny...what the hell is going on??

SO_Drum says:
CO: sir the particle amount has doubled

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: yepp as I told before :: smiles and sits down ::

CMO_Viper says:
::whispers::  MO: Grab me a hypo.  A sedative.  Anything.

CO_Crayne says:
::walks to the Centre chair and starts pushing buttons on the console ::

CNS_Lerner says:
OPS: I understand you Ensign .... you too FCO .... but the CMO assures me the Captain is truthful when he states this is for Starfleet and on Starfleet's orders ....

OPS_Urk says:
::his lock out doesn't work::

FCO_MGhia says:
All:  The captain is starting to aim on the planet....

Host Cheryl says:
ACTION:  Urk's override attempts fail

MO_Suder says:
::hands CMO a hypo of imetrazine::  CMO: you sure about this?

CTO_Esjam says:
::jumps over the central barrier and stops Crayne pushing buttons::

TO_Shilp says:
::stuns the CTO::

OPS_Urk says:
::Frustrated Urk slams fist on to the console::

CO_Crayne says:
::looks coldly at Esjam ::

CEO_Lira says:
:: Notices weapons online :: EO: do you know what’s going on

SO_Drum says:
::tries to catch the CTO::

CNS_Lerner says:
::is appalled::

CTO_Esjam says:
::goes down dazed::

EO_O-Riley says:
CEO: no sir ... I'm just reading activated weapons .

CTO_Esjam says:
SO: get me up damnit

CO_Crayne says:
::starts pushing the command sequence again ::

TO_Shilp says:
::rushes over and restrains the CTO::

SO_Drum says:
::pulls the CTO on his legs::

FCO_MGhia says:
All: The captain is trying it again

EO_O-Riley says:
:: takes a look at the sensor data from OPS ::

CNS_Lerner says:
CO: Sir ..... there must be another alternative!  Please do not fire on the planet!

TO_Shilp says:
::aims phaser at CTO::

OPS_Urk says:
CO: I presume you want me to advise Starfleet of our actions?

CO_Crayne says:
OPS: Please do so

CTO_Esjam says:
::manages to get one shot in and connects with Crayne’s jaw::

FCO_MGhia says:
All:  Targeting deflectors are active

CMO_Viper says:
::moves behind the CTO and hypo's him::

CTO_Esjam says:
::Passes out::

OPS_Urk says:
::Sends an OP Immediate message to Starfleet, hoping that they'll respond and stop this madness::

TO_Shilp says:
::Returns to tactical::

CMO_Viper says:
::moves our CTO off to the side::  MO: Over here.

TO_Shilp says:
CO: Sir sorry about firing a phaser on the bridge sir.

MO_Suder says:
