Last time on the Seleya:

At first it was one by one, then in groups as the crew succumbed to sleep, sleep that was by no means pleasant as it was filled with many peoples worse nightmares.  And where once some would wake, that seemed to be fewer and fewer and now nightmares have led to death for some of the crew.

Medical and science continue to search for answers which becomes increasingly difficult as their staff succumb as well, but they did make the startling discovery that somehow, some conscious entity was attacking the minds of the crew through subspace.

The CMO made a link between his supposed resistance and the results of one autopsy. But they are almost out of time as the ship tries to race away from the vicinity... if they only could on just impulse engines and a slumbering crew.

Commander's Maor log, SD: 11208.05: The ship is still plagued with an illness that the Doctors are still puzzled about. Unfortunately we have suffered a few casualties, with a few dozen patients still under the effect. The doctors were instructed to use any available resource in their disposal to find a cure as soon as possible.

<<<<<<<<< Where no one had gone before... IV  >>>>>>>>>>

CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Races out of his office, his mind a bit fuzzy:: Dar: Nurse! Start mass producing ethanol mixture injection vials, strong enough for a night in Vegas and diluted enough for the night to end six feet above ground. NOW! Start with enough for the senior crew, and then continue until we have at least a 100 ready. And don't give me that look.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::In Engineering, she finishes helping the medical staff get the sleeping ensign out, and then walks back to the second level.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Out cold, slumped back on the CMO's office chair, a small frown on her face::
Nurse Dar says:
::Jumps as she's yelled at:: CMO: yessir! ::Turns to Nurse Sek:: Sek: Vegas?

ACTION: Lieutenant Commander Pandora passes out onto his console, setting off random power allocation orders

XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Try opening a channel on all frequencies, let's see if whatever is out there can hear us.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Glances around to one of the junior officers on the bridge:: All: Someone get the Commander to sickbay and get a replacement up here.
Nurse Sek says:
::Performs the Vulcan equivalent of a resigned shrug::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Turns around in circles, the room spinning:: Self: Blimey, this better be right.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Caught in her nightmare, one part of her mind realizing it could not be, the other ready to succumb to the waiting death.::
Nurse Dar says:
::Races off to the adjoining lab and gets to work gathering up vials and hyposprays::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Snuffles::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Taps his badge:: *Bridge*: York to Bridge, how are we doing on coming up with a way to combat this subspace incurs....shuun. ?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods to Maor and taps a few buttons on his console and opens up a hailing frequency on all channels.::  XO: Channel open sir.

ACTION:  Power shifts, and the lower decks drop to emergency lighting only.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
COM: All frequencies: This is Commander Maor of the Federation ship Seleya. Please respond.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Sees the power requests and sees the chaotic nature::

ACTION: As crew gather to assist Pandora, the deck trembles as the large Caitain Science officer collapses onto the floor as well.

Nurse Dar says:
::Sets the replicator to produce an ethanol concentration that will increase crewmember's blood alcohol level to around .2%, definitely enough to get everyone drunk::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Having fallen on the Bridge when the ship lurched, Savar had excused himself to head below decks... originally thinking to head to Sickbay, he instead had ended up in his quarters, or what he thinks is his quarters.  Things aren't really making sense any more, this doesn't look like his quarters on Arcadia ::
OPS Ens Dreary says:
::On the Bridge furiously trying to reconnect power properly::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: We're working on it, Doctor. Kinda hard to do anything when I barely even have enough awake officers to do anything here.

ACTION:  All but one of the science lab has people working furiously.

Nurse Dar says:
::Fills 20 vials up, places them carefully in a case, and hops back out to main Sickbay, glancing around, a few hypos in hand, looking for CMO::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Turns back to the direction of the CTO:: CTO: Anything?
MO Ens Lee says:
::Groans a little and shifts in the chair::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
*XO*: Mayor, we need to get out of here....the numbers don't look good...but I have a plan, but....ok listen up. ::Tries to gather his thoughts, his mind awash with liquor:: People will die soon, more people that it.
Nurse Dar says:
CMO: Sir! ::Holds out the case with the vials inside:: CMO: The first 20, sir. Why, though? ::Tilts her head to the side a little, yawning::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Does her best to organize the bussard collector cleaning while keeping an eye on the impulse engines::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Grabs a vial and inserts into a hypo, then injects the Bajoran Nurse:: Dar: Think of it as a fun inoculation.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  No response as of yet.  I will keep rebroadcasting though.
Nurse Dar says:
::Jumps and yells:: CMO: Sir! What are you doing? ::Holds the side of her neck impulsively and sulks::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sighs:: *CMO*: What is your idea, Doctor?

ACTION:  With so few crew still functioning, many are no longer being taken to medical, only put out safely out of the way.

CMO LtCmdr York says:
*XO*: You won't like it. So I won't say. York out. ::Grabs the box and heads for the exit::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
Dar: Oh and take care of Lee!
MO Ens Lee says:
::Mumbles something about not being happy right now::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: The hell was that? ::Hits his badge:: *CMO*: Maor to York. Respond now.
Nurse Dar says:
::Wobbles a bit, unclear on a lot of things, and become a little less clear as the minutes tick by:: CMO: Okey-dokey... ::Takes a few very careful steps in the direction of the office::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Doesn't answer his comm and jumps into the nearest Turbolift:: TL: Main Engineering!
MO Ens Lee says:
::Opens her eyes, and closes them again, doesn't like seeing two versions of the office at once::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*MO*: Maor to Lee.
MO Ens Lee says:
Self: Woooah. Whrrr-
MO Ens Lee says:
::Taps her comm badge, misses, and tries again:: *XO*: Hmmm?

ACTION: Maor yawns

CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Runs into Main Engineering and looks for Ajala::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*MO*: Doctor, I just got a message from the Chief regarding some-- ::Yawns in mid sentence:: Sorry. About some theory he's entraining. Do you have any idea what he's talking about?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Up on the second level, busy focusing on her work, she doesn't notice the CMO enter::
MO Ens Lee says:
*XO*: Whoa, woa, slow down. ::Leans forward, elbows in the desk, holding her head to stop it spinning:: Who is this?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Whistles::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Resists a yawn and tries to concentrate on his work, finding it harder and harder to do so, but fighting to stay upright.::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
CEO: Chief! We need to get out of here, I brought you this. ::Places the box of vials on a console nearby:: Your staff needs it.
Nurse Dar says:
::Checks in on Lee, sees her awake again, doesn't think much of it and goes off to finish the other vials the CMO had ordered::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: I need you down there, Commander. I want to know what the hell is going there. Activate the damn EMH if you must but I need answers yesterday!
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Turns and looks over the railings:: CMO: What is it? ::gestures with a spanner::

Scenery:  Throughout the ship, silence seems to reign until the cry or scream of a nightmare takes over.  But many of the halls themselves remain silent of the living life that flows through it, giving the ship life and purpose.

XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Collects himself before responding:: *MO*: Maor. I. Need. Answers. Now!
CMO LtCmdr York says:
CEO: Just medicine. ::Smiles awkwardly and heads back for the Turbolift::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: Maor to Savar.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
XO: Understood.  I'm on my way.  ::Turns his console over to the last of his tactical team who is still standing and slightly stumbles to the lift.
MO Ens Lee says:
*XO*: You need answers like I need this ship to stop swaying, sir. ::Stands up with a lot of concentration::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Calls out anxiously:: CMO: Wait!
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Stops in the doors:: CEO: What?
Nurse Dar says:
::Finishes the 100, and makes a few more, in case of breakages::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Pauses for a second:: *MO*: Are you... Oh my.. Are you drunk?!
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
CMO: Is it safe for the children too, for Naoise? ::Lowers the spanner::

ACTION: In Sickbay, a patient starts convulsing

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Orders the lift to sickbay and puts his hand against the wall to steady himself as he waits for it to get there.::
MO Ens Lee says:
*XO*: I know you are but what am I? :: laughter is heard over the intercom:: whooo, least I'm not sleepy anymore!
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Sighs:: CEO: Yes, this doesn't affect the children. ::Smiles through the blatant lie::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Thinks for a second:: All: That was his plan? To get them drunk?! ::Hits his badge:: Computer: Locate the CMO.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
::Finally is able to lift his head from wherever he's laying, and wipes some sweat off his brow ::  *XO*: Maor?  What?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: Are you awake enough to assist on the bridge?
SO Lt Rose says:
::Standing on deck of the ship plummeting to the center of the star, she takes a seat in resignation.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: I.... really shouldn't
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Exits the lift and heads down the corridor and enters sickbay looking around for the CMO or MO::
Nurse Dar says:
::Hears the yells form the main room, and walks in, trying to focus on not looking too clumsy:: 
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Try contacting Starfleet. Let me know if you manage to contact them.
SO Lt Rose says:
::If she was to die, in a way, it was not the worse way to die.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
CMO: If you're wrong, I'll break your nose. ::Lifts the spanner again::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Makes her way out of the office and look around, spots Dar heading for the convulsing patient:: Dar: Re-port!
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Trust me, I'm a doctor.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Runs for the TL and hops inside:: TL: Sickbay!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Gets the reply from the computer:: *CEO*: Maor to Ecchumati.
SO Lt Rose says:
::She can feel the intense heat building.  The ship could not take much more.  Through her mind sifts her friends of the past, her family and those she served with and called friends.  But there was one, she could not understand having left her behind, Max.::
Nurse Dar says:
::Hold the patient down as best she can:: MO: Another one dropping off!
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Taps her badge as she turns away from the CMO:: *XO*: Yes, Commander?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CEO*: Is the doctor with you? 
MO Ens Lee says:
Dar: 20mg lectrazine, now! ::Heads over, wishing she couldn't taste whiskey on her lips::

ACTION: The XO starts feeling his mind slip as he fights to keep a hold on his surroundings.

CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
*XO*: He just left, Sir. Dropped off some medicine, though.
SO Lt Rose says:
::Letting the tears flow, she closes her eyes, leans back and lets go.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Grabs for a neuro-sequenser and places it on the man's forehead, glancing up at the readings over the biobed and taking a second to focus on them::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CEO*: Wh-- What kind of--- ::Takes a deep breath:: medicine? 
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Finds it’s hard to focus on who it is he is looking for and finally spots the MO and moves toward her.::  MO:  What is going on?

ACTION: A nurse appears on the Bridge with a medkit and starts injecting the sleeping and struggling officers

CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Orders her staff to take the medicine and heads down to get her vial, looking at it:: *XO*: He refused to tell me Sir. Isn't that against some type of patient right?

ACTION: The Impulse engines cut out

ACTION: A light flashes on the tactical and science console, warning of distressed lives as a few souls give into their nightmare and die in their sleep.

OPS Ens Dreary says:
XO: I've got a connection, sir.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Turns to the console, forgetting to take her medicine as the alerts go off::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Notices there are signs of neural degradation, shakes her head and suddenly realizes what she's doing. :: Computer: Activate EMH.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Rrushes back up to the second floor to check where she left off::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Send a priority one distress signal. Inform them of our situation, ask for help. ::Looks around:: Nurse: You! What the hell is inside that?
OPS Ens Dreary says:
XO: Aye, sir.
Nurse says:
::Smiles:: XO: I do not know sir, but the doctor ordered it.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Lets the EMH work away on the patient, turns and spots the CTO:: CTO: Comm-commander!

ACTION: The CTO collapses onto the floor in Sickbay

MO Ens Lee says:
::Sees the CTO drop suddenly, groans and yells for Dar to hand her a hypo::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Kneels down beside the CTO and administers, as the CMO put it, a "dose of fun"...::
OPS Ens Dreary says:
XO: Sir, a ship is on its way but it's about 2 days away.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
Nurse: Check. ::Hits his badge again:: *CMO*: By all that is holy, if your little gamble doesn't pay off I'm going to grantee you a cell for the rest of your life.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Runs into sickbay:: Dar: Dar, we need more! Keep at it.
MO Ens Lee says:
::checks the CTO's vitals, hoping she caught him on time::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Rolls his eyes as the XO yells over his comm and reads the status displays in Sickbay:: MO: Lee, are you with me?
Nurse Dar says:
::Hiccups, and complies:: Self: This is the worst party I have ever been to.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Turns to her and looks her over:: MO: It worked yes? No dreams, no sleep?

ACTION:  Thrusters suddenly go offline.

MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks up:: CMO: Well, I'm not sleepy, but I really shouldn't be here. Did you get me drunk?
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Looks at the readings as she tries to fix impulse engines:: *XO*: Engineering to bridge, impulse went back down a moment ago, and now thrusters are offline too!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CEO*: Do we know the cause, Lieutenant?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::shrugs and walks away to check on a patient:: MO: We are only delaying the inevitable Lee.....if we don't get out of here, we all die. And I'm out of ideas, this latest one might work, might not.....but it seems to give us a fighting chance, and I intend to take it.
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
*XO*: Not yet, Sir. I'll work on getting them back online as quickly as possible.

ACTION: The XO and the remaining Bridge crew can feel the effects of their injection taking hold.

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Slowly starts to come out of his nightmare, and starts to realize he on the floor in sickbay but for some reason feeling like he did at his last birthday party, what the hell did they inject him with.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Walks to the railings and calls down:: EO: Dalian, get on the thrusters - we need them back up as soon as possible.
EO Dalian says:
::Calls back up:: CEO: Right, Chief!
MO Ens Lee says:
CTO: Welcome back,. Commander Heller. Take it easy getting up, now. Seems the Chief has... ::Clears her throat:: boozed us all up.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: I need a status report from all departments, Ensign. See how many officers we have who can still function on each department.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Checks the readouts:: MO: We can't stop this, we need out of here.
MO Ens Lee says:
CTO: He has a master plan, I'm sure.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
MO:  Boosed uz all up?  Whatz the hell kind of soluztion is thatss.
MO Ens_ Lee says:
::Looks over at the CMO:: CMO: Shall I go out and push? ::Gives him a cheeky look that rather suits her face::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Grabs a padd and throws is at her:: MO: Read that and then make jokes. We are dead in space, and I have no idea what to do next.
MO Ens Lee says:
CTO: Disrupts REM sleep, no dreams, no nightmares, no... death by fright, or.. something.. ::Thinks::
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Taps his badge:: *XO*: York to Mayor.
OPS Ens Dreary says:
XO: Roger!
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: Maor here.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Shakes his head as he tries to clear his head, but regrets it immediately as his vision blurs.::
MO Ens Lee says:
CMO: My idea's about as plausi-ble as getting me drunk, I think... ::Grabs hold of the PADD:: 
CMO LtCmdr York says:
*XO*: I've given you an hour at most, I don't know what more to do. But I can tell you this, I have a couple of hundred crew already sleeping, showing signs of neural degradation. As long as we are in this nebula, they and all of us, will surely die.
SO Wilcoxson says:
*CMO*:  We are reading your reports... those of us still awake.  There are various waves that can interrupt the various stages of sleeping.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: Understood, Doctor. Engineering are working on it.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks at the PADD:: Self: Didn't he just say all this?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Hits his badge:: *CEO*: Do we have an ETA to get any of the engines operational? 
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Growing angry with his lack of success:: *XO*: And how long until we can warp out of here then?
CMO LtCmdr York says:
*SO*: I'm all bloody ears.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Looks around, happy to see more and more crew slowly coming to as the hypos are administered::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CMO*: Checking now, Commander. Hold on.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Slowly stands and grabs a nearby biobed to steady himself.::
MO Ens Lee says:
::Grabs Dar as she passes on her way to make more ethanol dilute:: Dar: Think we best cancel poker for today...
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Yawns:: *XO*: At least two hours before the warp will be ready, Sir! Impulse and thrusters - I can't give an estimate until we finish searching for what caused them to go offline.
Nurse Dar says:
::Laughs despite the situation:: MO: Good call.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Grabs Lee's arm and leans in, worry in his eyes:: MO: This is temporary Lee, temporary.
SO Wilcoxson says:
*CMO*:  From what I can gather, we are dealing also with another dimension.  It would be easier to use a variety of sound waves to disrupt the sleeping pattern so people can wake and we can get out of here.  The other alternative is to bombard whoever is involved and break the connection with them.
MO Ens Lee says:
CTO: Give it a second, you get used to it after a while. 
SO Wilcoxson says:
*CMO*:  There probably will be a price but without some testing, we can only speculate.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Pats the CMO on the cheek, like she would a little child:: CMO: We'll think of something.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Shouts:: *SO*: Then get to it.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Glares at Lee and storms away::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CEO*: Getting the engines operational is now your top priority, Lieutenant. Whatever resources you need coordinate with the operations. You have 45 minutes before we're going to have a catastrophe on the ship. 
MO Ens Lee says:
:: watches him stomp off:: Self: Genius' temperament. ::Shrugs and goes back to coordinating the administration of the temporary antidote::
SO Lt Wilcoxson says:
::Looks at Zar and shrugs.  Taking their information the two of them head for the bridge.::

ACTION: Brianna Rose comes to, her uniform soaked in sweat

CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
*XO*: We'll certainly do our best, but you can't hurry physics up.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Lets out a yawn::
SO Rose says:
::Feels her stomach rolling as she turns to the side to throw up her last meal.::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Yawns again strongly as she turns back to the repairs:: Aloud: Dammit, why aren't you working!?
MO Ens Lee says:
::Notices the CMO yawn and grabs a hypo, heading over to him:: CMO: You got me in this state, time to return the favor...
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CEO*: Get creative, Lieutenant. Maor out. ::Closes the channel:: OPS: Prepare our shuttles for launch. We're going to use them to thrust the ship forward using the tractor beam.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Stops her from injecting him::
SO Lt Wilcoxson says:
::Arriving on the bridge he makes his way to the first officer.::  XO:  Sir, we would like to try something with sound waves to interrupt the sleep patterns.  However, we do not know what the long term affects would be.
CMO LtCmdr York says:
MO: No....I need to be able to operate.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
*XO*:  I'm in sickbay now, and have been injected with the um the doctors err remedy.  Want me to stay here or head back to the bridge.
OPS Ens Dreary says:
XO: Shuttles are ready, sir.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CTO*: Unless you can help down there report to the bridge, Commander.
MO Ens Lee says:
::Examines his face:: CMO: It was fine to be drunk yesterday, but today... you're a complex man, Commander. ::Leaves him with the hypo and heads off to help elsewhere::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
OPS: Launch them, remote control mode. Once they're in range engage the tractor beam on them and await further instructions. 
CMO LtCmdr York says:
::Rests against the bulkhead, his head resigned::
CEO LtJG Ecchumati says:
::Remembers she didn't take the 'cure' and moves to the railings:: EO: Dalian, throw me.. ::Yawns:: a.. vial.. ::Falls asleep and slumps over the railings, falling to the level below::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
SO: Work on a plan, let me know as soon as you have one. I want to give Engineering some time before we try it.

ACTION: Ecchumati lands on the level below, fracturing her right arm.

SO Lt Wilcoxson says:
XO:  We have the frequencies planned we would think best.  It would take only a few minutes to implement.  We also have another idea for the entity, but that would take more time. ::Nods to Zar who heads for the science console.::

ACTION:  The shuttle bay doors glide open and the remote controlled shuttles begin to rise toward it.
