Star Trek: Apache - Episode #12
Week #6
Mission: "Auld Lang Syne"

Host Jafo says:
With the Tartarus star now going into its final phase of life, events have begun to come to a climax aboard the Apache. Cadet Sonja Davore has been working with Doctor Naegle in an attempt to determine where Glinn Brakash has come from. In irregularity in his quantum signature has yielded a most surprising result to their investigation.

Host Jafo says:
The fact that his quantum signature varies from their own, or that of the rest of the Apache crew, has lead them to hypothesis that this is not the same Glinn Brakash that has previously visited the Apache.

Host Jafo says:
It has further been discovered that the bodies of Commander Linard, Lieutenant Masterson, Lieutenant Sarel, and Lieutenant Powers in the Apache's morgue bear the same quantum signature as that of Glinn Brakash; they all belong to the same quantum reality.

Host Jafo says:
Aboard the Resilient, Doctor Sarel has been able to replicate an antidote to the unusual amnesia plaguing her fellow away team members. Meanwhile, Commander Linard has informed the team of the Resilient's orders to use the Tartarus star as a weapon and called upon them to put a stop to this genocide. All but Lieutenant Powers have readily agreed to her plan.

Host Jafo says:
Unfortunately it may be too late as Commander Grayson has given in to his suspicions and relieved Captain Linard of her command. After a brief phaser battle on the bridge, Security Chief Jaxlt Burta saved Captain Linard.

Host Jafo says:
Though Grayson was killed in the exchange, both Linard and Burta are certain they are far from safe as they attempt to link up with the other members of the away team and escape the Resilient. Both the Apache and Resilient have found themselves on a level playing field, both now in the same quantum reality, and bringing weapons to bear on each other.

Host Jafo says:
Amidst the roiling space of the Tartarus system each vessel finds itself battling for its life, next to a bomb one thousand times more powerful than any device known to man.

@::follows TO::

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks around at the doctors and nurses who are rushing around, knowing exactly what they are supposed to do::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, shields are stable … weapons are online.

Sonja_Davore says:
::feels kind of lost.::

CIV_Xavier says:
::closes her secure channel and exits her quarters heading for the bridge::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Resilient closes on the Apache it lets out vicious barrage of phaser and torpedo fire. The first shots impact deck one, just off the bridge, and alarms warn of severe damage to the Captain's Ready Room.

SO_Hammond says:
::goes over sensors readings::

CNS_Vekh says:
::rises from Command chair:: CSO: Unidentified vessel dead ahead sir, weapons powered up.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::looks at the entering crew:: TO/MO/EO: You made it.

TO_Masterson says:
@::looks at the XO:: XO: We got the deflector off-line and tried to contact the Apache with no luck.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: Resilient: Unidentified ship, this is the USS Apache, stand down or we will open fire!

Host CSO_Storal says:
SO: Mister Hammond, take the helm.

CIV_Xavier says:

CEO_Yeung says:
::performs level 5 diagnostic::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::readies torpedoes::

EO_Powers says:
@::checks sensors on a panel and sees the Apache being fired on::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::jumps up and heads over to the flight controls::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sensors immediately register that this unknown vessel is considerably better armed and armored than a standard Federation Defiant Class vessel.

CIV_Xavier says:
::enters the bridge and heads for tactical::

MO_Karl says:
Sonja: You're with me.

MO_Sarel says:
@::sees the XO, TO, and EO:: XO: Yes ... so are we getting out of here?

Host XO_Linard says:
@Jax: So what next? Are we going to try and escape?

Host CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Take over OPS!

SO_Hammond says:
::takes a seat and begins evasive maneuvers::

EO_Powers says:
@XO: The Apache is being fired upon, Commander.

CNS_Vekh says:
::hurries as the impacts send Lieutenant Lowell headfirst into the deck:: CSO: Aye sir.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Maybe if we send a message now we might be able to get through.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::nods and points with a drawn phaser:: All: Over here! ::runs towards a prepped shuttle::

Host XO_Linard says:
@::looks to the EO:: EO: The Apache? How do you know?

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods and follows the doctor::

MO_Sarel says:
@::looks at the really big guy:: XO: I hope he is on our side.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: No response, sir!

CNS_Vekh says:
::slides into the OPS console and taps controls:: *Sickbay*: Medical Emergency on the bridge, send a team up right away, Doctor.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The gamma radiation in the area is wreaking havoc with sensors, but a third vessel is briefly detected at the edge of sensor range. No identification is possible at this time.

MO_Karl says:
Sonja: Grab that med kit while you're at it.  ::directs the others to disperse throughout the ship::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Is the Resilient damaged?

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: This is Chief of Security Jaxlt Burta. He's the reason I'm still here ... we ran into a little difficulty on the bridge.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Transferring power from science systems to weapons. ::works on the ship's power supplies::

MO_Karl says:
*CNS*: We're on our way. ::to people in Sickbay:: All: Let's go!

Host CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Boost power to shields!

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::hears the doors to the shuttlebay open behind them and turns, leveling his phaser, and letting off a few shots:: All: Hurry!

EO_Powers says:
@XO: I just checked from this panel, and it says that another ship has appeared and the Resilient is doing battle with it. I'll try to bring weapons offline.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Scanning the vessel now, sir.

SO_Hammond says:
::tries his best to get behind the other ship::

CIV_Xavier says:
::targets the unidentified ship’s power supply::

Sonja_Davore says:
::grabs the kit indicated and practically runs out of sickbay trying to keep up with Doctor Karl's long strides::

Host XO_Linard says:
@::heads for the shuttle:: Jax: Is there anyway to get control of this ship?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: They are undamaged sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Power to shields, aye sir. Remodulating harmonics of forward array.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::moves to cover Powers as he works at the panel:: Powers: Lieutenant, you should get aboard that shuttle! I can't hold them off forever.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Should we return fire, sir?

TO_Masterson says:
@::looks at Jaxlt:: Jaxlt: Would it be possible to send a message to the Apache and have them get us before anyone on this ship does?

MO_Karl says:
::steps into the turbolift and waits for Sonja:: Turbolift: Bridge.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Return fire; target their power relays.

Host XO_Linard says:
@EO: Do as he says Lieutenant ... we need to get back to the Apache.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::hollers:: All: Get on that shuttle!!

MO_Sarel says:
@::makes way to the shuttle:: Jax: Hey, nice to have you with us.

CIV_Xavier says:
::fires phasers at the power relays::

TO_Masterson says:
@::runs and gets on the shuttle::

EO_Powers says:
@Jax: Just a minute… ::closes and locks the door using a level ten forcefield::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The weapons exchange between the Apache and Resilient continues unabated...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets their power relays:: CSO: Firing all phasers! ::sends a volley towards the other vessel::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::provides a covering fire for Powers, taking several phaser shots to his chest::

CNS_Vekh says:
::looks at Lieutenant Hammond at the front of the bridge:: SO: How's the structural integrity field holding?

SO_Hammond says:
::starts to chuckle as he maneuvers with the other ship::

MO_Karl says:
::steps off the turbolift:: CNS: Doctor Karl reporting as ordered, sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
@Burta: Okay, we're in … let's go.

EO_Powers says:
@Jax: Lets go, I’ll do what I can by remote.

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: It's holding sir.

MO_Sarel says:
@::inside the shuttle she gets in her seat ready for whatever::

Sonja_Davore says:
::pants as she steps off the turbolift trying to catch her breath, gripping her medkit tightly::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
@::sees the rest of the away team is in the shuttle and physically picks Powers up running for the shuttle::

CEO_Yeung says:
::quickly boosts power to shields::

CNS_Vekh says:
Karl: Doctor, please tend to Lieutenant Lowell, he's unconscious from a hit on the head.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Rather suddenly ... the Resilient swings to port and its weapons power down.

Host XO_Linard says:
@::sits in the copilot's seat and prepares the shuttle for launching::

TO_Masterson says:
@::sits down in her seat::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, they have powered down weapons.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Cease-fire … let’s try hailing them again.

Host XO_Linard says:
@EO: I need you at the helm ... get us out of here.

MO_Sarel says:
@::sees that Jax has been shot:: Jax: Are you okay?

EO_Powers says:
@XO: I need to open the doors!

Host XO_Linard says:
@EO: Then do it...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A second set of gamma ray bursts emit from the star and wash over the Resilient and Apache, tossing each about roughly.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: Resilient: Unidentified vessel, this is the USS Apache. Respond! ::holds on desperately to the railing at tactical::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::gets tossed around in his seat::

CEO_Yeung says:
::lurches over his console::

SO_Hammond says:
::holds on and tries to keep control of the ship::

CNS_Vekh says:
::redirect power as relay lines are overloaded::

MO_Karl says:
::takes a quick glance over to the OPS Station and heads over to him without saying another word to the CNS::  Sonja: Prepare 20cc of Hydromillician.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Jax carries Powers towards the shuttle he takes several phaser shots in the back, grunting and collapsing just short of the shuttle. He tosses Powers the rest of the way, and the Engineer lands within reach of the shuttle hatch.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Would you like for me to bring up any weapons? I believe this shuttle is armed.

MO_Sarel says:
@::gets out of her seat to check on Powers and is tossed around like lettuce in a salad::

TO_Masterson says:
@::is glad she put her seat belt on now::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Damage Report!

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: Where's Mister Burta? ::looks around::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Did we inflict any damage?

Host Jafo says:
@::collapses on the shuttlebay deck as officers begin to poor into the Resilient's small shuttlebay::

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: Of course, full power to the shields.

MO_Sarel says:
@::falls and gets up again:: XO: He's been shot ... and where is Mister Powers?

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Those bursts are going to get a lot worse than this, Commander!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Resilient begins to move off putting some distance between itself and the Apache and going further in towards the Tartarus Star.

TO_Masterson says:
@::brings up shields and weapons:: All: Let's get out of here now!

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Sir, she's moving away … shall I pursue?

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks:: CSO: Minor damage to deck one, and shields were weakened a bit, but holding. No other significant damage.

Sonja_Davore says:
::drops down to her knees as she reaches Lowell and find the medication loading it into a hypospray and handing it over to Karl::

Host XO_Linard says:
@::mutters a curse or two to herself:: TO/MO/EO: Come on we've got to get out of here...

Host CSO_Storal says:
SO: Follow that ship, Mister Hammond!

CNS_Vekh says:
CEO: Mister Yeung, there's a power shortage on the starboard shield emitters. Potency reduced by 11% ::reroute shields to compensate::

MO_Sarel says:
@::runs to check on both seeing Jax lying on the floor, shot::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Shields and weapons are online and at full.

Host XO_Linard says:
@MO: Is he still alive? ::hopes the answer is yes::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::follows after the ship::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Any response to our hails?

CNS_Vekh says:
::automatically diverts power to impulse engines and warp drive at CSO's command::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: None, sir. They are moving away from us, sir, closer to the star...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Resilient's weapons come back online, and the Defiant Class vessel swings back around towards Apache.

CEO_Yeung says:
CNS: Got it, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: They've powered up weapons again.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Here they come again sir.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: I don't know...

MO_Karl says:
::meanwhile is scanning the lieutenant with a tricorder:: Sonja: He has a concussion… ::looks around:: …and I can't work under this condition. Here, give me that hypospray. We'll stabilize him and then take him to sickbay where he can recover.

SO_Hammond says:
::readies for the attack:: Self: Bring it on…

CIV_Xavier says:
CTO: Queuing up torpedoes.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Target their deflector dish.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Let's loose a single torpedo towards the Apache...

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Come on!  Let's get out of here before we are stuck here forever!

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Full spread!

CIV_Xavier says:
CTO: Sir!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Incoming torpedo!

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: As much as I hate to say this, we can't wait for him ... we have to get off this ship... ::enters the codes to open the shuttlebay doors::

CNS_Vekh says:
All: Incoming…

CEO_Yeung says:
::diverts all available power to shields::

SO_Hammond says:
::performs evasive maneuvers::

Host CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Take evasive action.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::initiates a full spread of torpedoes and fires at the defiant class vessel::

CNS_Vekh says:
::hangs onto his console and diverts power to the forward shields::

CIV_Xavier says:
::fires torpedoes, targeting deflector shield::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Scan that torpedo!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the torpedo::

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Sorry sir ... I can't tell from here. But he's not moving.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The torpedo from the Resilient impacts the Apache's shields, and a fluctuation begins at the quantum level. The Apache's shields are turned in towards the vessel.

MO_Karl says:
::stabilizes the Mister Lowell and then transport the two of them to sickbay, leaving a very confused Sonja on the bridge::

CIV_Xavier says:
::shuts down the shields::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO/MO/EO: Whoever is flying, get us out of here already!

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Drop Shields!

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: Hail the Apache ... I'm taking us out.

CNS_Vekh says:
::eyes grew wide observing the effects of the torpedo:: CSO: There are power fluctuations in the shields … it’s a quantum disruption, sir. I’m trying to compensate.

MO_Sarel says:
@::goes over to Mister Powers:: EO: Are you okay?

CIV_Xavier says:
CTO/CSO: Already done, sirs.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods at the CIV:: CIV: Well done.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Resilient takes the barrage of torpedoes from the Apache along its broadside. Its shields fluctuate, but hold, as it takes minor damage. It's shuttlebay doors disintegrate as they are fired on from within.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.

CIV_Xavier says:
::darn it, this is not good, they have quantum fissure torpedo technology::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Aboard the Apache, a deathly creaking is heard as the hull plates rattle from the power of the Apache's own shields. The entire vessel vibrates under the feet of its crew.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, our attack has left only minor damage.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: I'm picking an explosion on that ship's shuttlebay area, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: We should move away from the hypernova, sir!

Host CSO_Storal says:
CNS: What is it? CTO: Return fire.

EO_Powers says:
@MO: Just about … I’m trying to tell the computer in the Resilient’s main engineering that there is a core breech. The computer should then eject the core.

Host CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Back us away from the star.

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to increase power to the structural integrity field::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets the Resilient’s warp nacelles::

Host XO_Linard says:
@:: takes the shuttle out the bay and plots the course for the Apache::

CNS_Vekh says:
::reads sensor feed:: CSO: Odds are that someone blasted them from inside the shuttlebay itself.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::backs away from the star::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::fires a volley of torpedoes::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The power of the Apache's shields is amplified as the explosion of the torpedo warhead reverberates between the shields and the hull back and forth and back and forth.

Sonja_Davore says:
::feels the shuddering of the whole ship::

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache: This is Tactical Officer K'arana Masterson. The EO, the MO, the XO, and myself are on a shuttle exiting the Resilient. Please respond.

CIV_Xavier says:
CTO: Sir, target the nacelles while I work on their power relays.

MO_Sarel says:
@EO: Okay...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Shield emitters throughout the Apache blow out, and immediately radiation levels rise. Almost simultaneously, a third vessel enters the fray; now clear on sensors.

EO_Powers says:
@MO: Sorry ... that just burst out. ::tries to tie the shuttles computer in with the Resilient’s::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, I am picking up another ship on sensors!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the third vessel::

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Sir, the emitters are out! Radiation is getting through!

MO_Sarel says:
@EO: Hey, you know, we just need to get outta here. ::sits in the driver's seat::

Sonja_Davore says:
::rushes over to the OPS station as she notices a bleep there::  CSO: Someone is hailing us.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Shield emitters collapsing; radiation reaching dangerous levels.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: No response ma'am.  Should I continue to try?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, the CWS Reklar is approaching!!

CIV_Xavier says:
CSO: We need to get out of here.

Sonja_Davore says:
::tries to remember her OPS training from last week::

EO_Powers says:
@MO: We have to help the Apache or we will have nowhere to go to.

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: I'm sure they have their hands full; once we're within range we'll be detected.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Bridge is racked as a shield emitter directly over it blows out and Commander Storal is thrown from his seat and knocked unconscious.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: I'd suggest moving away from the star.

SO_Hammond says:
::readies for another attack just in case::

XO_Valrek says:
%FCO: Romanov, come to the transporter room. We don't have much time.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Do you want me to fire on the Resilient?

CNS_Vekh says:
::sparks cascade over him and he sees Storal being thrown to the deck::

EO_Powers says:
@::sends the message to the Resilient’s main engineering computer to eject the core::

FCO_Romanov says:
%::enters the transporter room just as Commander Valrek calls for him:: XO: You rang sir?

MO_Sarel says:
@::sets a course away from the Resilient and locks it in:: All: Okay, were out of here ... hang on.

CIV_Xavier says:
::gets to Storal with a medkit::

Sonja_Davore says:
::sees that the CSO is down and rushes over to him::

Sonja_Davore says:
*Karl*: Sir, medical emergency on the bridge.

CNS_Vekh says:
Sonja: Ms Davore, do you have any training at OPS?

CIV_Xavier says:
::injects tri-ox into his system::

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: Do we have any quantum torpedoes on board?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Resilient seems to have taken the damage to the Apache as an opportunity to move off into an area of the star far too dense with radiation for the Apache to follow. What they are doing there is beyond all comprehension to those on the apache.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, the CWS Reklar is approaching!

XO_Valrek says:
%FCO: Yes, we need to get on and off within minutes. Radiation will be high, so be prepared.

CIV_Xavier says:
::scans him with a tricorder::

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks up at the CNS and gives him a little nod:: CNS: Last week.  This week, I'm in the medical training. ::turns her attention back to the commander::

CIV_Xavier says:
::what the hell, injects him with nor-adrenaline::

FCO_Romanov says:
%::grins, grabbing a weapon:: XO: All set if you are, sir.

EO_Powers says:
@XO: I don't think so.

MO_Karl says:
*Sonja*: Scan his condition...

MO_Sarel says:
@::checks for torpedoes::

CNS_Vekh says:
::moves to the center chair, taking over command:: CIV: Ensign, tend to the Commander. Sonja: you get an opportunity now … take over Operations.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Systems aboard the shuttle begin to fluctuate and suffer power failures. The shuttle was never modified to operate in these types of radiation conditions.

XO_Valrek says:
%::steps up to the transporter pad:: Chief: Transport when we are within range.

Sonja_Davore says:
::interrupts:: *Karl*: It seems that Xavier has it under control.

FCO_Romanov says:
%::steps up on the pad, taking a deep breath::

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Should I try to hail the Apache again, ma'am, before the whole system goes out?

Host XO_Linard says:
@::takes the shuttle further away from the star::

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks over at the CSO then at the CIV then CNS:: CNS: Aye sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
*Sickbay*: We have more wounded up here.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: We have torpedoes sir, but shouldn't we just get back aboard Apache quick?

CNS_Vekh says:
SO: How are the readings from that ship? How are their shields?

SO_Hammond says:
::runs a diagnostic on flight systems::

Sonja_Davore says:
::gets up and take over OPS station, trying not to get dazzled by all the flashing lights indicating damage and com traffic::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Any contact over the COM, Lieutenant?

MO_Karl says:
*CNS*: Understood.

CIV_Xavier says:
::looks at the Bajoran:: Storal: Wake up!  I gave you enough adrenaline to even make me jittery!

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: Well, they won't have much effect against the Resilient. Right now, we’re hardly a match for.

MO_Karl says:
*CIV*: Ensign, are you there?

CIV_Xavier says:
*Karl*: Yes.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: The unidentified vessel has not responded, and has moved away from us … closer to the star.

CNS_Vekh says:
CEO: Mister Yeung, see what you can do for the shield generators.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Radiation levels on the Apache continue to rise as systems begin to fail under the stress of the added gamma radiation.

EO_Powers says:
@::sees his plan didn't work and tries to keep the ship together::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: The CWS Reklar is approaching on an intercept course. Should I hail them?

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: She's moved away and into heavy radiation.

CEO_Yeung says:
CNS: Aye sir.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Should I attempt to hail the Apache again, now that the Resilient is no longer firing on them?

FCO_Romanov says:
%::takes out a piece of gum:: XO: Gum sir?

CIV_Xavier says:
All: We all need to get Gamma Radiation shots.

MO_Sarel says:
@XO: Yes ... agreed sir.

MO_Karl says:
*CIV*: I need your help … we're swamped down here.  Please scan him with a tricorder to see if his condition is stable enough to beam him directly to sickbay.

Host CSO_Storal says:
::begins to regain his senses::

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: I don’t think we can pursue without our shields.

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: Yes, try them...

CNS_Vekh says:
::swirls chair around:: CTO: The Cardassian vessel? Yes, hail them right away.

Host CSO_Storal says:
All: Status?

XO_Valrek says:
%::gives Romanov a hypo to reduce chances of radiation sickness:: FCO: Use that when you need it.

CIV_Xavier says:
*Karl*: He's should be fine, doctor.

XO_Valrek says:
%::looks at the gum:: FCO: No, thank you.

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks back as she sees the CSO getting back to his feet.:: CSO: Welcome back to the living, sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
*Karl*: I suggest we start administering gamma radiation shots.

CEO_Yeung says:
*Engineering*: Begin repairing the shield emitters throughout the ship, fast!

Host XO_Linard says:
@::nears the Apache's position::

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Shields still down sir, the unidentified vessel has moved closer to the hypernova. ::helps Storal back to the chair::

FCO_Romanov says:
%::takes the hypo, shrugs and opens a piece and puts it in his mouth:: XO: Does wonders for stress...

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache: This is Tactical Officer K'arana Masterson.  The MO, the EO, the XO, and myself are on a shuttle heading near you.  Please respond.

MO_Karl says:
*CIV*: In that case, Karl out. ::makes note to check up on the Commander later and now rushes off to do something or another::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::goes to hail the CWS Reklar, then stops as the COM panel blinks::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Damage report.

MO_Sarel says:
@::listens to the COM::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::sits in the chair trying to clear his head::

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: Someone is hailing us!  Should we respond?

XO_Valrek says:
%::pulls his phaser and readies it for stun::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a transport in progress from the Reklar.

CIV_Xavier says:
::administers gamma radiation shots to the whole bridge crew::

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: We have no shields, sir. We cannot pursue the ship due to increased radiation levels.

Sonja_Davore says:
CIV: Thank you, sir. ::tilts her head a little as the CIV applies the hypospray to her neck.::

Host CSO_Storal says:
Sonja: Yes. ::shaking his head::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sensors detect a transport in progress from the Reklar, Commander.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: We need to move farther away from the star.  With no shields and the radiation increasing and the bursts getting worse … things are not in our favor.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The flight controls of the shuttle begin to go haywire as the entire away team fights over who gets to fly.

CIV_Xavier says:
Cadet: No problem.

Sonja_Davore says:
COM: Shuttle: Shuttlecraft ... we read you!

Host CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Take us further from the Star…

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: We also were approached by the CWS Reklar; I had Mister Cha`Dak hail them.

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: Commander, it’s the away team!

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
::hanging on tightly to the edges of his bed he looks around at the Apache's sickbay::

Host CSO_Storal says:
Sonja: Where?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: I got through!

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::moves further away::

EO_Powers says:
@::stops what he is doing and stands up.

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: I have a channel open to them, sir.

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache:  Who am I speaking with?

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Where is that other ship?

MO_Sarel says:
@::hears the response:: TO: Yeah!

EO_Powers says:
@XO/TO/MO: How many of you are qualified to fly?

MO_Karl says:
::hears a sound and glances over to where the sound is coming from::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, the Resilient has moved off closer to the star. We cannot follow them any closer in our current condition.

Sonja_Davore says:
COM: TO: Cadet Sonja Davore, sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
::walks back to tactical and checks the weapons inventory of the Apache, looking for something that will be able to close the fissure between the two realities::

Host XO_Linard says:
@EO: Well since I'm in the pilot's seat already... ::wry grin::

SO_Hammond says:
::silently curses as he moves the ship away from the star::

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache: See if you can put me through to the commanding officer on deck.

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: I will put them on the COM system.  ::pushes button.:: You should be able to talk to them now.

XO_Valrek says:
::materializes in the Apache sickbay::

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
::looks over in surprise as he hears Valrek dematerialize a few feet away::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CWS Reklar: Warship Reklar, this is the USS Apache. Please respond.

FCO_Romanov says:
::materializes on the Apache, eyes darting about with phaser drawn::

Host CSO_Storal says:
COM:TO: This is Cmdr Storal ... what’s your status.

MO_Karl says:
::walks over to the Glinn slowly, not entirely trusting Brakash::

CNS_Vekh says:
::moves over to the Tactical Stations to help out::

XO_Valrek says:
::looks around and sees Brakash:: FCO: Over there!

EO_Powers says:
@All: I'm busy, so the XO should fly.

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache: Hello, this is Tactical Officer K'arana Masterson.  Who is in charge right now?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::is surprised to hear K’arana’s voice again::

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO/MO/EO: The doors aren't opening ... Mister Power’s see what you can do.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Where did they transport?

FCO_Romanov says:
::goes to grab Brakash::

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
Valrek: Alex! Thank goodness!

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, any clue as to what they intend to do that close to Tartarus?

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Commander! I got through to the Apache!

Host XO_Linard says:
@EO: Try the manual override ... I'd rather not have to blast the doors.

EO_Powers says:
@::gets to work on the doors::

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Sir, I'm going to try to modify the main deflector to repel the radiation.

FCO_Romanov says:
Glinn: Quickly sir!

XO_Valrek says:
Brakash: Sir, you will be fine. We are here to take you back.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO/CNS: Unsure.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Make it so.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods and quickly begins the modifications::

MO_Karl says:
::blinks in surprise as Valrek materializes before him::  Valrek: Commander?

XO_Valrek says:
FCO: Romanov, Grab him and lets get out of here.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Find out ... with our shields down they may have transported here.

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
Karl: Back off, Doctor! ::takes an offered disruptor from Valrek and points it at Karl::

XO_Valrek says:
::looks oddly at Karl, but says nothing::

TO_Masterson says:
@COMM: USS Apache: Please respond.

EO_Powers says:
@XO: I'm an engineer sir, not a miracle worker ... hang on, that's the same thing isn't it?

FCO_Romanov says:
::points his weapon at Karl also::

MO_Karl says:
::takes a step back and pulls out a tricorder scanning the intruders’ quantum signature::

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: Ask the Apache to open their doors ... we're coming in.

FCO_Romanov says:
XO: We're ready, lets go.

Host CSO_Storal says:
Sonja: Give them permission to land.

MO_Karl says:
Val/FCO/Glinn: What ... who?  ::holds his hands up::

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: USS Apache: Could you please open shuttle bay doors so we can come in?

Host XO_Linard says:
@::grins:: EO: Then do what you can, Mister Powers.

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, you were correct. They have transported to sickbay.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Get a team down there immediately!

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
::holsters his weapon:: COM: Reklar: Three to beam up...

Sonja_Davore says:
COM: TO: Shuttlebay 2 is ready for you.  Welcome home, sirs.

CIV_Xavier says:
::exits the bridge and heads for the sickbay::

TO_Masterson says:
@COM: Sonja:  Thank you.

FCO_Romanov says:
XO/Glinn: Quickly, they will have detected our transport by now.

MO_Karl says:
::glances over at his tricorder, and then lowers his hands:: Glinn/Valrek/FCO: Oh, you're from … here.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Glinn Brakash, Alexander Valrek, and Alexi Romanov dematerialize from the Apache's sickbay, and transport back to the Reklar.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Seal off sickbay and try to set up a dampening field.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: Sir, I would advise extreme caution in this situation. We need to be sure the shuttle crew is who they say they are.

TO_Masterson says:
@XO: Shuttlebay 2 is ready, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt. Verall*: Get a team to sickbay immediately, Lieutenant!

MO_Karl says:
::taps his combadge:: *CSO*: Commander!  The Glinn is gone!

Host XO_Linard says:
@TO: Thank you Lieutenant... ::takes the shuttle into the shuttlebay::

XO_Valrek says:
%::materializes back on their ship:: Brakash: What are your orders, sir?

FCO_Romanov says:
%::looks around as they materialize in his ship’s transporter room:: XO/Glinn: That went well.

CIV_Xavier says:
::enters the sickbay::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, they've transported back onto the Reklar.

Host CSO_Storal says:
*Karl*: I knew it ... what happened?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A security team rushes into sickbay just in time to see the three dematerialize, leaving Doctor Karl with his hands in the air.

MO_Sarel says:
@::watches as they enter the shuttlebay::

XO_Valrek says:
%FCO: Surgical operations are always best. ::grins::

MO_Karl says:
CIV: Ensign!  Too late!

TO_Masterson says:
@::brings the shields and weapons offline::

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
%Romanov/Valrek: That went very well ... now, we need to get out of here.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Get a security team at the Shuttlebay

MO_Karl says:
*CSO*: Well, two men materialized here. One of them was Commander Valrek … the Valrek of this reality, I guess. And another one … I didn’t recognize him. They just beamed the Glinn away.

FCO_Romanov says:
%::laughs:: Glinn: Aye sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
Karl: Tell me this; what was the origin of their quantum signature?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt. Verall*: Too late. Get to the shuttlebay, now!

Host CSO_Storal says:
*Karl*: Acknowledged.

Host XO_Linard says:
::waits impatiently for the doors to the shuttle to open now that they're home::

XO_Valrek says:
%::nods:: *Helm*: Take us away from here, as fast as possible.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Commander Linard's shuttle from the Resilient lands in the Apache's shuttlebay and is immediately greeted by a swarm of yellow shirts ... not unlike the swarm that saw them off the Resilient.

MO_Sarel says:
::takes a deep breath, glad to be back::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Keep them there.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: The shuttle from the away team has landed.

MO_Sarel says:
::wonders what is with all the yellow shirts::

Sonja_Davore says:
::adds an afterthought:: CSO: In our shuttlebay 2, of course.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt. Verall*: You are to detain all personnel onboard the shuttle.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: I suggest the shuttle crew be quarantined till we can confirm theirs identities, sir.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.

Host XO_Linard says:
::peers out into the shuttle bay:: Sec Teams: At ease gentlemen, it's just us...

Host CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Way ahead of you, Counselor.

XO_Valrek says:
%Brakash: It's very good to have you back, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The crewmembers of the Apache, those who have been on the Apache this whole time, begin to feel very sleepy and are having supreme difficulty keeping their eyes open. Here and there, they are beginning to collapse.

SO_Hammond says:
::reroutes around some damaged systems::

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Status on the Reklar and that defiant class ship?

Host CSO_Storal says:
CEO: What’s the status of the repairs?

FCO_Romanov says:
%XO: Brakash: If I may, I will return to the bridge.

Host Glinn_Brakash says:
Valrek: Thank you, Alex. Savannah Xavier was over there ... she almost had me.

CIV_Xavier says:
Karl: Who where they?

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Repairs are underway, sir, but it'll take some time before shields are operable.

Host XO_Linard says:
::steps down off the shuttle and into the crowd wondering what is going on::

TO_Masterson says:
::stands up and walks to the XO:: XO: Let's get out of this shuttle.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, I...

MO_Sarel says:
::looks at all the security:: All: Wow, we must be important.

XO_Valrek says:
%FCO: Please do, we need our best at the helm.

Host CSO_Storal says:
CTO: What is it Lieutenant?

MO_Karl says:
::blinks as he tries to focus and then collapses::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins to feel unstable, swaying from left to right::

EO_Powers says:
::follows the XO::

XO_Valrek says:
%Brakash: It's a good thing she didn't succeed, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
::mind becomes dizzy:: CSO: I feel ... like... ::has difficulty to stand and grabs the railing for support::

CEO_Yeung says:
::yawns and blinks::

FCO_Romanov says:
%::nods and heads to the bridge::

SO_Hammond says:
::begins to feel sleepy::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Reklar moves off leaving the Apache for dead...

TO_Masterson says:
::steps off the shuttle and pops her neck:: Self: Good to be home!

Sonja_Davore says:
::stretches and yawns:: Self: My ... I got to stop going to bed at three and waking up at seven.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::grabs the railing for support:: CSO: Sir, the … Reklar...

MO_Sarel says:
::leaves the shuttle::

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to stretch and yawns, trying to stay awake::

CIV_Xavier says:
::feels strangely tired::

CNS_Vekh says:
::collapses to the deck, unconscious::

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads for the shuttlebay doors walking past the Security Teams::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: …hypernova…

Host CSO_Storal says:
::looks around:: All: What is going on?

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: What's going... ::falls over his console, out cold::

Host XO_Linard says:
::knows there is something wrong::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::slumps over his console::

Sonja_Davore says:
::slaps herself a couple of times and notices that the others are getting sleepy too::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Commander's team leaves the shuttlebay they see many crewmembers lying about, unconscious, littering the hallways.

CIV_Xavier says:
::falls to the ground::

TO_Verall says:
::falls unconscious::

Host XO_Linard says:
::gasps as she walks out into the hallways:: *CSO*: Linard to Storal ... status report?

TO_Masterson says:
XO: I think we need to help them.  Something is very wrong here!

Sonja_Davore says:
::hears someone fall behind her, so she turns to look … except she conks out halfway through her turn::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Linard receives no reply to her communication.

Host XO_Linard says:
::hears no response:: TO/MO/EO: I'll need you all on the bridge ... let's go.

MO_Sarel says:
::sees all the bodies lying about:: All: What is going on here?

Host XO_Linard says:
::is suddenly very worried:: Turbolift: Bridge!

EO_Powers says:
::heads towards the bridge with the others::

TO_Masterson says:
::follows the XO::

MO_Sarel says:
::wants to bend down and help someone:: XO: Sir...

Host XO_Linard says:
::stops:: MO: Yes?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The small group of crewmembers piles into the turbolift and heads for the bridge.

Sonja_Davore says:
::is draped over the OPS chair like a rag doll::

CNS_Vekh says:
::lying on the deck, obstructing the turbolift's door::

MO_Sarel says:
XO: Sorry sir, just that all these bodies ... these people need help. But there are so many of them.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Arriving on the bridge, the team is confronted with the bridge crew unconscious at their stations.

Host XO_Linard says:
::gasps:: TO/MO/EO: Heaven above...

SO_Hammond says:
::asleep on the console, a bit of drool dripping from the corner of his mouth::

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads to her chair and begins reading sensor reports::

EO_Powers says:
::runs to OPS and tries to adapt the sensors to create a shield::

Host XO_Linard says:
TO/MO/EO: Find out what's going on here...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate that the shields are down, and the Apache is taking on huge amounts of radiation. Science sensors also indicate a third gamma ray burst is imminent.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::slumped face down over Tactical::

EO_Powers says:
All: Can we move?

MO_Sarel says:
::bends over an unconscious crewmember and scans them with a medical tricorder::

Host XO_Linard says:
EO: Yes we can ... take us out of here, now!

Host CSO_Storal says:
::lying face down near the command chair::

Sonja_Davore says:
::talks in her sleep, muttering softly:: Self: No, no, no!  Put that down!  Kurt!  I mean it! ::flips over, and falls to the floor, still out::

MO_Sarel says:
XO: Sir, its the gamma radiation.

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads over to Storal feeling his neck for a pulse::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins to moan in ancient Klingon::

EO_Powers says:
::vaults the OPS console and jumps into Flight control seat:: All: Let’s get out of here!

EO_Powers says:
::moves away from the star::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Engineer Officer engages the warp engines the Tartarus star emits a third gamma ray burst. It accelerates quickly towards the Apache as the ship leaps away from the area.

Host XO_Linard says:
MO: Then I guess you know what to do Doctor. Begin finding the quickest treatment you can before it's too late...

MO_Sarel says:
XO: I should treat the rest of the medical crew first so they can help.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: MO: Do it...

EO_Powers says:
::moves the SO out of the way::

CNS_Vekh says:
::starts snoring::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::starts making gagging noises::

SO_Hammond says:
::falls to the floor::

CIV_Xavier says:
::her body tries to excise the poisons and starts to shudder::

Host XO_Linard says:
TO: Where is the Resilient?

CNS_Vekh says:
::rather loudly::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Apache steams away from the Tartarus star it catches the leading edge of the gamma radiation wave and rides it the distance to the edge of the system where it washes over the ship without incident. Sensors indicate the radiation levels are starting to fall.

Sonja_Davore says:
::grits her teeth as she sleeps, a really nasty habit since childhood::

MO_Sarel says:
XO: Wait ... we can send neutralizing gases through the environmental systems.

CEO_Yeung says:
::twitches his arm::

TO_Masterson says:
::walks over to tactical::

Host XO_Linard says:
MO: Good plan doctor, do whatever you need to do.

MO_Sarel says:
::goes to the environmental controls at the back of the bridge and inputs her command codes, entering the necessary adjustments::

TO_Masterson says:
::scans to locate the Resilient:: XO: The Resilient does not show up.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: From environmental controls, Doctor Sarel releases a neutralizing agent into the ship's atmosphere. Almost immediately, crewmembers begin to groggily come to.

Host XO_Linard says:
TO: Nothing at all?

MO_Sarel says:
XO: The gases should take effect immediately.

Host XO_Linard says:
MO: Good work.

TO_Masterson says:
XO: Nothing.

EO_Powers says:
::goes back to OPS and pushes Commander Vekh out of the way, trying to get temporary shields online::

CNS_Vekh says:
::turns and twists on the deck, babbling incomprehensible things::

Sonja_Davore says:
::groans a little as she stirs::

CIV_Xavier says:
::her eyes open::

Host XO_Linard says:
::grinds her teeth at the TO's remark:: Self: Darn...

MO_Sarel says:
::sees some crewmembers already stirring about and goes to help them::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::begins to regain his senses ... again::

Sonja_Davore says:
::mutters:: Outloud: But mama … I don't want to do go school today. ::turns over and feels the floor on her face, and opens her eyes slowly::

CIV_Xavier says:
::the shaking starts to recede::

CEO_Yeung says:
::slowly comes to:: Self: Ugh... ::wipes the corner of his mouth with his sleeve::

SO_Hammond says:
::starts to come to and looks around::

CNS_Vekh says:
::begins opening his eyes and rolling to a sitting position near the wall::

Host XO_Linard says:
::senses some consciousness from the CSO and bends down next to him helping him up::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::mutters:: Self: P'tak!

TO_Masterson says:
::looks over at the CTO waiting for him to wake up::

CNS_Vekh says:
::as the haze on his mind begin to dissipate Vekh makes out his surroundings::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins to stir, his arms moving slightly::

Sonja_Davore says:
::turns and looks around to get her orientation, blushes a little remembering the last part of her dream::

TO_Masterson says:
::slightly grins at the CTO and then stops::

SO_Hammond says:
::lets out a yawn:: Self: Sow did I get down here?

CIV_Xavier says:
::gets up and administers a hypo of her supplements::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::gets to his feet and dusts himself off:: Aloud: Thank you… ::looks up::

Sonja_Davore says:
::slowly begins to get up on her feet again and sits back down at the OPS station::

Host XO_Linard says:
::smiles at Storal and whispers to him so no one hears:: CSO: Hello Imzadi ... I'm home.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands up and shakes his head::

Sonja_Davore says:
::shakes her head and checks her console::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Argh! I feel terrible!

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets to his feet, uneasy, and looks around::

TO_Masterson says:
::walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Feel better, sir?

Host CSO_Storal says:
::smiles and tears up a bit:: XO: Welcome home, Commander.

CEO_Yeung says:
::winces:: CTO: Not so loud, eh?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the crew begins to stir, the USS Resilient and CWS Reklar are nowhere to be seen. The elevated levels of radiation in the area make it difficult to scan for ion trails in close proximity to the Tartarus star. As a comet passes by the Apache, at 10.000 kilometers, the sensors automatically scan it and catalogue any anomalous readings.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: K’arana!

CNS_Vekh says:
::spots their would-be dead crewmembers all around:: Self: What?!?!

SO_Hammond says:
::gets up and takes his seat at the helm:: Self: Yuck! What is this all over the console?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stares at her momentarily, before returning his attention to sensors:: TO: To your station, Lieutenant.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The only reading the sensors find out of normal is that the comets quantum signature does not match that of the Apache's.
