Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 9
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
In an attempt to regain control of the Apache, Commander Storal and Mister Powers managed to directly access the ship's computer core and conduct a hard boot of the Apache's automated systems.

Host Jafo says:
Using the shutdown to their advantage, the EVA team consisting of Commander Vekh and Mister Cha`Dak stormed Main Engineering attacking the Zlibra who were holding the facility.

Host Jafo says:
Somewhat surprisingly, Judge Anderson was among them as well as Judge Hershey's other bodyguard who fired his disruptor rifle at the warp core when it was clear they would lose control of the ship.

Host Jafo says:
Commander Cha`Dak stopped him before he could damage the core, but his disruptor blast tore through a plasma coolant tank filling Main Engineering with the lethal gas. Hurrying to get the trapped engineers out of Main Engineering, an incapacitated Anderson, and the other unnamed Judge, were left behind and are presumed killed in the leak.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::in his office, after receiving his message from D'Layna:: 

SO_Hammond says:
::in sickbay recovering from plasma burns:: Self: How did I get here?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: With a second volley of full phasers, the Greenland comes around again bearing down on the Apache.

CNS_Vekh says:
::entering the bridge, after changing into a clean uniform in his quarters::

CSO_Storal says:
::at Science One running diagnostics::

CSO_Storal says:
All: Red Alert!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::feels the ship shake:: *CSO*: Report in, Commander!

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Cha`Dak! Get up here now! We're under attack!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The red alert sirens scream at the crew as the Excelsior Class vessels phaser’s pound at the shields.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::takes power from all non-essential systems and throws it into the shields as fast as possible::

CMO_Naegle says:
::in Sickbay with Lieutenant Hammond:: SO: How are you doing, Lieutenant?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: On my way, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::stumbles around a bit as the ship shakes::

CNS_Vekh says:
::grabs the railing as the ship shakes under weapons fire::  Self: What in the 17th Orion Bloody Hell...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::runs to a turbolift, ordering it to the bridge::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks up from her console ... then runs back onto the bridge:: CSO: What's going on?

CMO_Naegle says:
::feels the volley of shots::

XO_Linard says:
::sits in her chair:: FCO: Evasive maneuvers!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A volley of photon torpedoes knocks the CMO on her butt and the SO off the biobed as the ship shudders under the intense onslaught.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: It’s the Greenland, sir…

XO_Linard says:
::grabs the arms of her chair::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the bridge, and falls halfway down the walkway::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Boost power to shields.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Any response from our hails?

CSO_Storal says:
::holds on to the console:: CO: Already done!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::regains his feet, and reaches for tactical one::

CEO_Yeung says:
::diverts spare energy to the shields::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Open a channel to the Greenland!

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: I don't know, Doc. You’re the expert… ::unexpectedly is tossed off the biobed::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Captain, I don't get it … she just wont reply! Shields are weakening; this is bad ... real bad ... really very bad!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings all weapons online::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: We need as much power as you can spare.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Try the laser communications ... they may still work.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Working on it, Commander.

SO_Hammond says:
::cringes as he lays on the ground:: CMO: Are you all right?

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Return fire, Commander … full spread!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::fires a full spread of photon torpedoes at the Greenland::

EO_Powers says:
::stumbles over to CEO:: CEO: Need any help?

CEO_Yeung says:
::takes offline several non-essential systems and diverts their power to the critical systems::

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at  the XO:: XO:  Sir?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: I’m trying to hold the power needed at tactical, but with the warp core down we just don't have the juice…

CMO_Naegle says:
::falls down:: SO: Yeah, I'm fine. ::dusts herself off:: How about you?  Are you in any pain?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At point blank range, the photon torpedoes impact along the length of the bigger ship, but cause little actual damage as the Greenland’s shields are still at full power.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Help me contain the damage. Divert power to weakened shield areas; seal off any breaches...

CMO_Naegle says:
::reaches out to help the SO on to his feet and back onto the biobed::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Can you read what lifesigns are aboard the Greenland?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Keep trying to break through their jamming, Lieutenant.

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Hail them again … tell them we aren’t under Zlibra control and that we’ve taken back the ship.

CNS_Vekh says:
::following the situation and getting ready to help::

SO_Hammond says:
::through gritted teeth:: CMO: A bit.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Yes sir… ::gets to work::

XO_Linard says:
::looks to the CO:: CO: If they are listening at least they may pay attention to that one!

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Hull is holding, we have limited impulse power. Some of it has been diverted to tactical systems.

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes his hand and helps him up::

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Sensors are still a bit unclear … I'll see what I can do. ::scans the Greenland::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the fighting continues, Judge Hershey stumbles out of a turbolift onto the bridge.  The Greenland comes about, bringing her main weapons to bear on the Apache.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns, pulling a phaser and aiming it at the judge::

CNS_Vekh says:
::catches Hershey coming out of the turbolift with the corner of his eye::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: If actual communications don’t work, try the laser communications array … or perhaps old Morse code.

SO_Hammond says:
::takes the CMO's hand::  CMO: Pain just lets you know you’re still alive.  ::smiles::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
CTO: I think you have more important things to worry about. ::holds onto a console::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Take over the helm! Get us out of here!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::hesitates, unsure::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Target their weapons systems.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::is trying to stay on his feet::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Phaser blasts rip through the shields, as they fail, and cause sparks to fly throughout the Apache's bridge.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles back and gets him back to the biobed::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::returns his attention to tactical, targeting their phaser array::

XO_Linard says:
::shields herself against the sparks::

CNS_Vekh says:
::steps in front of Judge Hershey:: Judge: Judge Hershey, please stand back as we attempt to resolve the situation.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Weapons fire ceases from the Greenland, which withdraws to a safe distance.

CSO_Storal says:
::almost falls out of his chair as the volley hits::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: I don't know how.  Configure it for me so I can broadcast it, sir.

EO_Powers says:
::sees shields go down and tries to get them back up::

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes a hypospray full of pain medication and administers it to the Science Officer::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO/XO: Sir, they have ceased fire.

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Blast... EO: Try to get the shields back!

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: When do you think I'll be able to return to duty?

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Yes sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
::a bit later than he would like, hears the XO's command:: XO: Immediately, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::sits up, tucking her hair behind her ear:: CTO: Is that so? Well it's about time...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::sees the Greenland backing off:: CTO: Stand down, Commander.  OPS:  Try to hail them again, Lieutenant.

CEO_Yeung says:
::aids the EO in restoring the shields::

CSO_Storal says:
OPS:  Okay. ::configures the laser communications array::  OPS: Try it now.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: My, you are in a hurry, aren't you?  I would say that you should wait a day or so, at least, Joseph.

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Take us out of weapons range, Commander.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CEO:  Damage report.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir. Powering down weapons.

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes the FCO seat and fingers fly over the well-known console:: XO: Engaging full impulse now, sir. ::taps properly::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: With our shields down they could board us, sir! I suggest we arm ourselves and I can erect forcefields around the bridge.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings weapons down to standby:: CO: Should we remain at red alert, sir?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Yes, we want everyone to remain at their stations.

XO_Linard says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Do you think they might have actually listened to us?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::walks up to the bridge railing:: CO: What's going on, Captain?

CNS_Vekh says:
::maneuvers the Apache around to offer their strongest armor to the Greenland:: XO: No warp capability at this time, sir. Impulse is still fluctuating.

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Have you begun the autopsies yet?

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Shields down, Captain. We're trying to bring them back up.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: I need you to rest.  The plasma burns were serious enough to put you in sickbay.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: Power is fluctuating badly, we are having power outages on multiple decks with priority going to life support.  ::works his console::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods, then checks long-range sensors for any other unidentified vessels::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO: With them jamming our communications, I doubt that they received any transmission from us.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: I've been tending to your science officer, Commander.  The computer has been analyzing the remains for the last few hours. I should have the results soon.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Greenland holds a relative position away from the Apache. It is clear at the Science consoles that the Greenland's sensors are very actively scanning the Apache.

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: Just hate sitting around doing nothing … pain or no pain.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
Self: And I thought we were bad off 10 minutes ago...

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: I need those bodies identified yesterday, Doctor.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, the Greenland is actively scanning us.

CNS_Vekh says:
::checks short-range sensors:: XO: Sir, I think we are beyond their weapons range. Shall I maintain position?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hershey:  We've been fired upon by one of our own ships ... and they are jamming all of our communication signals.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO* Aye Commander.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
All: Communications are still blocked, we need to get help … from somewhere.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::looks at the Captain mystified:: CO: But why? Don't they know the Zlibra don't control the Apache anymore?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Understood Commander...

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Keep trying to get the shields back up, I'll work on the engines.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Well, I guess I can clear you for 'limited' duty, Lieutenant.  Don't strain yourself, please, and come back here tomorrow so I can check those burns.

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Yes Commander.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Aye sir.  ::keeps working on the shields::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CEO*: We just don't have enough power to work with up here...

CEO_Yeung says:
::attempts to bring the warp engines back online::

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: Will do, Doc.  Thanks.

CNS_Vekh says:
::overhearing the Captain and Judge Hershey’s conversation:: Hershey: I shall point out that we still need to locate Colonel Dathom.

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Status?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hershey:  No Judge Hershey, they began jamming our signals before we regained control of the ship.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Warp engines start up, falter, and zero out again.

CEO_Yeung says:
*OPS*: I don't have much to give you. Things are hectic down here.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Unchanged Commander…

SO_Hammond says:
::thinks, limited duty is a very subjective term::

XO_Linard says:
::nods::

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Come on … come on … don’t let me down.

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes over to where the remains are stored and checks on the tests being performed by the computer::

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes the Apache to a relative stop away from the Greenland:: XO: Maintaining relative distance, sir. I just got a warp spike, but it's still down.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CEO*: If we don't get out of this soon, sir, I fear the worst.

SO_Hammond says:
::slowly gets off the biobed and heads for the nearest turbolift::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO/OPS:  Is there a way to modify a probe to get a signal out to the Greenland … and Starfleet Command?

CNS_Vekh says:
OPS: Mr. Edgemoor, what's the CEO's prognosis on the warp engines?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::confirms the counselor’s findings and nods to the XO::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Don't try anything until we get the go from Main Engineering.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Its possible...

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the results of the tests she was running:: Self: Oh my god!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A subspace anomaly is briefly registered in a position between the Greenland and Apache. As quickly as it registered on Sensors, it is then gone again.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: If the launchers are in one peace…

CEO_Yeung says:
*OPS*: Don't worry, we aren’t dead yet.

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Rest assured that without warp there's very little I can do, Commander. ::gives her a short smile::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: We also have Reg's ship … just a reminder.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, I find it hard to believe that the Greenland is under Federation control. They would have tried to communicate with us by now, surely.

SO_Hammond says:
TL: Bridge… ::begins to hum as the turbolift moves::

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a quick diagnostic of the warp systems::

CSO_Storal says:
::hears his console beep:: CO/XO: Sir ... I think the sensors just detected a spatial anomaly between our position and that of the Greenland.

XO_Linard says:
CSO: A what? Are you sure?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Then get busy, Commander.  We need to get the information out that the Zlibra are no longer in control of the Apache.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Commander, I have the identification you wanted.

CSO_Storal says:
::begins scanning the surrounding area:: XO: It’s hard to tell, the sensors took some damage. It could just be a sensor ghost from something else.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  What kind of anomaly?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: I have an idea, but it’s kind of funny.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A second spatial distortion registers, but again the sensors hardly identify it before it is gone again.

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Who were they?

CEO_Yeung says:
::tries to bring the warp engines online again::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Keep trying, and let me know what you get.

CNS_Vekh says:
::cross checks the CSO's findings with navigational sensors:: XO: Sir, I can confirm a brief subspace fluctuation in a point between us and the Greenland.

CSO_Storal says:
CO/XO: Sir, there it is again...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO/CNS: Keep trying to identify it, Commander.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::tries to keep up with everything going on around the bridge but doesn't really understand most of it::

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Is it still in the same spot?

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: The one was Judge Anderson … and the other has been positively identified from his Starfleet service jacket. ::pauses:: CSO: It was Colonel Dathom Strom, Commander.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: No sir, it’s moved closer to us…

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At the Operations panel, among all the other rapidly flashing lights, the deck 13 airlock briefly registers as being open.

SO_Hammond says:
::slowly walks onto the bridge and heads over to science one::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: If you could pull the cores on the shuttles in shuttle bay 2 and hot-wire them into the ODN conduits, we might generate needed power for some key systems.

CSO_Storal says:
::continues to try and identify the anomaly::

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged Doctor, double check the results.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Check with Commander Yeung on that.  See if he thinks its possible.

CNS_Vekh says:
::continuously checking their relative position to the Greenland and making the necessary adjustments::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Sir, you need anything done?

CSO_Storal says:
CO/XO: Sir, Doctor Naegle reports that the remains from Engineering have been positively identified by the computer as Judge Anderson and Colonel Dathom Strom.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A small thud is heard a few feet away from Mister Yeung. As he glances down, he sees a small canister rolling across the floor. As he watches it, wondering what it is, it suddenly emits a huge blinding flash along with a loud bang.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Aye Commander, I'll check back when I get finished.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CEO*: OPS here, I know one shuttle is nowhere near useful but what if we could link all their cores together and tie it into the M/ARC matrix? Could we piggyback the power?

CSO_Storal says:
SO: We need to try and get a signal to the Greenland that we aren’t hostile.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Black uniformed officer’s rush into Main Engineering carrying compression phaser rifles wearing dark helmets similar to the helmets of the Judges. Taking advantage of the flash/bang, they quickly subdue the crewmembers writhing around on the ground in agony, holding their ears

CEO_Yeung says:
::feels the concussion wave push him to the ground and slams onto the floor::

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Understood.

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets another sample of the cellular tissue, what little remains, and has the computer analyze it::

Host Hawthorne says:
::with a rifle to the CEO's frontal lobe:: CEO: Federation Marines, identify yourself!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir! I’ve just detected some kind of commotion in Main Engineering!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::hears the CSO's report and turns to Judge Hershey:: Hershey:  What do you know about this?  Judge Anderson and Colonel Dathom, what were they planning?

CSO_Storal says:
CO:  Sir ... we have an explosion in Main Engineering.

EO_Powers says:
::gets up holding his ears::

CEO_Yeung says:
Hawthorne: Ugh ... what ... Lieutenant Commander Jon Yeung, Chief Engineering Officer.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: I’m detecting … I don’t know; very unusual readings in Main Engineering. Possibly intruders.

XO_Linard says:
::looks to the Judge::

CNS_Vekh says:
::checks short-range sensors immediately for shuttles::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::is about to respond but is surprised by the announcements of another problem in Main Engineering::

Host Hawthorne says:
::pushes the rifle closer to the CEO's head:: CEO: Service Number?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO: Lock down Main Engineering, and have security teams get down there now.

EO_Powers says:
Hawthorne: Be careful with those things, you could damage someone’s hearing.

CEO_Yeung says:
Hawthorn: Who ... 990619 ... 002.

Host Hawthorne says:
::turns to Powers and pistols whips him across the jaw with the butt his rifle knocking him to the floor::

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: No shuttles or any vehicles registering in short-range sensors, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Can you identify the lifeforms in Main Engineering?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::places a level 10 forcefield around Main Engineering::

CSO_Storal says:
::tries to extrapolate the identity of the anomaly by cross-referencing the data with previously detected anomalies::

SO_Hammond says:
::walks over to the auxiliary science console and begins working on contacting the Greenland::

Host Hawthorne says:
::nods and helps the CEO up off the floor:: CEO: Okay Commander ... where are the dissidents?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: I'll try. ::tries to identify the intruders::

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets the results from the computer::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Main Engineering, respond please.

EO_Powers says:
::smiles and wipes blood from his mouth::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::gives a worried look to the command crew::

CEO_Yeung says:
::groaning slightly:: Hawthorne: What the heck are you doing! We already took care of them!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to the CSO::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: I can only lockdown humanoid lifesigns ... number unknown.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Captain, I've got some Federation Marines down here...

Host Hawthorne says:
::shrugs:: CEO: We're here to retake the Apache. What do you mean you already took care of them? We'd received word you all had suffocated to death.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO_Verall*: Verall, we have an intruder alert in Main Engineering. Get a security detail there now!

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Commander. I have the results of the second test, sir.

Host Hawthorne says:
::waves a hand ordering his troopers to stand down ... many, take their feet off the officers they were holding to the deck::

EO_Powers says:
::looking up from the floor:: Hawthorne: Who told you that?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: If they were Federation Marines they would have read our reports and the distress call … they should know we have control of the ship.

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Let me have them, Commander.

CEO_Yeung says:
Hawthorne: Do I look dead to you? Who gave you your orders?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*CEO* Understood Commander, have their commanding officer join me on the bridge.

Host Hawthorne says:
::glances at the EO, ignores him:: CEO: We're here on orders of Starfleet Command. The Greenland was sent to make sure the Apache did not make it back to Riseal. ::speaks into a combadge on his wrist::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: I must object, Captain.  We can't allow them on the bridge … we’ve got no proof they are who they claim to be!

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: It is confirmed, sir.  Judge Anderson, and Colonel Dathom.

CEO_Yeung says:
::grumbling:: Hawthorne: Well follow me, I’ll escort you to the Captain.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A pair of modified type 10 shuttles decloak, magnetically attached to the hull of the Apache, near the deck 13 airlock.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  With communications down for so long, they may not have received any of the messages sent after the distress call.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO_Verall*: Belay that order, Mr. Verall. Return to your station.

CSO_Storal says:
* CMO*: Acknowledged Commander, good work.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Captain, communications were not down after the call. We were being jammed, sir!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, two shuttles have just decloaked...

Host Hawthorne says:
::nods at the CEO and orders his 2nd to setup a perimeter::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, the identities of the bodies are confirmed as Judge Anderson and Colonel Dathom Strom.

CNS_Vekh says:
::eyebrows shoot up:: XO/CO: Two vessels just decloaked. They are attached to the hull near Deck 13.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO: Lower the shielding around Main Engineering and have your security teams stand down.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Not internally either.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Keep up with repairs ... and watch your back.

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Can you identify the shuttles?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: They're attached to the hull of the Apache, near the deck 13 airlock!

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO* Thank you, sir.  And make sure Joseph doesn't work too hard.  I didn't treat his plasma burns only for him to get himself shot up, or something.  Sickbay out.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::lowers the forcefields around Main Engineering::

CNS_Vekh says:
::attempts to identify the vessels:: XO/CO: Apparently modified Type-10 shuttles … definitely Federation designs.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: We're on our way, Captain.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
CO: Judge Anderson would never be involved in something like this ... why, he's the furthest thing from a Zlibra sympathizer I've ever met. Your Klingon probably killed the Judge and placed his body in Main Engineering to make it look like Anderson was involved.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: You hear that ... take it easy, and that’s an order.

SO_Hammond says:
::wipes some sweat from his forehead and tries to focus on the task::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::looks to the XO for support::

EO_Powers says:
CEO: I will, sir. Do we have any concussion grenades in an armory here?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  They are most likely the vessels that the marines used to board the Apache.

CSO_Storal says:
CTO/CO: I concur, sir…

CEO_Yeung says:
::gives the EO an exasperated stare and shakes his head::

Host Hawthorne says:
::follows behind the CEO on his way to the turbolift:: CEO: Sorry I had to treat you so roughly, Commander. You understand ... orders.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to Judge Hershey and takes one step towards the Judge, his demeanor full of withheld rage::

XO_Linard says:
CO: He’s got a point, Captain … we should be cautious.

CEO_Yeung says:
::waves at Hawthorne to follow him and leads the way out::

CNS_Vekh says:
::hears the CO's words and wonders what has happened to the prohibition of Federation use of cloaking devices on the Alpha Quadrant::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Hershey: I have had enough of ... Judges!

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Stand Down, Commander!

CEO_Yeung says:
Hawthorne: Yeah well, I guess its shoot first and ask questions later with you guys, eh?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::fingers her peacemaker and glares at him:: CTO: And I have had enough of Klingons.

CEO_Yeung says:
::rubs his head::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Perhaps if we were to allow only their CO on the bridge … and an escort.

Host Hawthorne says:
::shoulders his weapon:: CEO: You could say that. ::steps into the turbolift behind the Commander::

CEO_Yeung says:
TL: Bridge...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns and glares at the XO, before turning back to Hershey:: Hershey: Then perhaps we should eliminate one or the other? ::hands begin clenching and unclenching::

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Chief! Don't have me relieve you of duty!

CNS_Vekh says:
::following with interest the exchange between the CTO and Hershey:: Self: Seems Powers will have company in his anger management sessions. ::in low tones::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::turns fully to the Klingon and pushes her chest up against his:: CTO: Don't tempt me, Cha`Dak!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hershey:  Judge Anderson attacked several Apache crewmen while they were attempting to retake Main Engineering.  If he were not a Zlibra sympathizer then why would he do that?

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits the turbolift as they arrive on the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
::finalizes the autopsy reports and sends them up to the bridge to the Science station::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Stand down, Commander!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: This P’tak knows nothing of justice and honor, and yet they call themselves Judges? They are a complete travesty, and an offensive race.

CSO_Storal says:
::prepares a containment field to contain both the Judge and the CTO separately::

Host Hawthorne says:
::waves a hand at the Captain:: CO: Nonsense! You have no proof of this! Anderson was a proud and noble Judge, who did his duty to Riseal.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::sneers into the face of Hershey::

XO_Linard says:
Hershey/CTO: Gentlemen ... refrain right now or be placed in the brig!

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Captain, I'm here with ... Hawthorne, of the Marines. ::points his thumb at Hawthorne::

Host Hawthorne says:
::eyes the CTO and Hershey curiously:: CEO: And you thought I was bloodthirsty...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at the XO, then at Hershey, then back at the XO, then back at Hershey::

SO_Hammond says:
::turns and watches the exchange on the bridge:: Self: Never a dull moment around here.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Hershey: This is not finished.

CNS_Vekh says:
::observes as the CEO brings new guests to the Bridge:: Self: Now, we just need a good caterer.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
CTO: Not even close...

CEO_Yeung says:
::shrugs:: Hawthorne: It's been one of those days...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::remains tense with his hand next to a holstered phaser::

XO_Linard says:
CTO/Hershey: If you two want to fight ... take it off the bridge!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to the CEO and Hawthorne:: Hawthorne:  Welcome to the Apache, I assume you were sent to prevent the dissidents from returning to Riseal?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::snarls at Hershey as he answers the XO:: XO: It would be a pleasure, but my duty refrains me from doing so. ::turns his back on Hershey::

Host Hawthorne says:
::salutes the CO and falls to a parade rest:: CO: Aye sir, Command sent my squad to retake the Apache. Or prevent her from arriving at Riseal ... in one piece.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Back to your post.  XO:  Please escort Judge Hershey to my ready room.  Find out as much information as you can about Judge Anderson, and how Colonel Dathom would be able to mask his identity from her as he posed as her bodyguard.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::glances at the XO then the CO::

XO_Linard says:
::smiles and nods:: CTO: Then after duty, Commander... ::winks at him in appreciation for the Klingon holding back::

XO_Linard says:
::nods at OPS indicating that everything is under control::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir...

XO_Linard says:
::looks to Hershey:: Hershey: This way, Judge…

CSO_Storal says:
::walks over to the Captain:: CO: Sir, I have Doctor Naegle’s autopsy report. ::hands the Captain a PADD::

XO_Linard says:
::waits for Hershey to go ahead of her::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::relaxes::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::mutters:: Hershey: P’tak…

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::returns Hawthorne's salute:: Hawthorne:  We could have used your help a few hours ago.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::storms past Linard into the Ready Room, ignoring Cha`Dak::

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: I'll be returning to Engineering, Captain.

EO_Powers says:
*CTO*: There's a Marine down here who reckons he could beat a Klingon in an arm wrestling contest.

CNS_Vekh says:
::working on the status of thrusters and checking warp and impulse readiness::

Host Hawthorne says:
::nods:: CO: My apologies, Captain. The stealth carriers had to be delivered to the Greenland. This was the soonest we could make it all the way out here.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CEO:  Thank you, Commander

CEO_Yeung says:
::reenters a turbolift:: TL: Deck 13...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Is that so?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Retrieve Omin Rego from the brig and bring him to my ready room.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
::follows the judge into the Ready Room and stands just inside the door as it closes::

EO_Powers says:
*CTO*: You'll have to prove him wrong. I can always 'prepare' him for you, if you want.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: I hate to say this, but go down to Main Engineering and help out Commander Yeung. It sounds like things are a mess down there.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::takes a seat in a huff and sits down crossing her arms and glaring about the small room::

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits the turbolift and enters Main Engineering:: EO: Status report, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hawthorne:  That's understandable, however if the Greenland had responded to our hails, this may not have been necessary.

XO_Linard says:
::eyes Hershey as she takes a seat in the Ready Room:: Hershey: Well? You mind telling me what's going on? And let me remind you ... I'm Betazoid, I'll know if you're lying.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::takes a deep breath:: Self: This is worse then the attempted shakedown cruise two years ago.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::hands tactical over to a red shirt and enters the turbolift:: *EO*: You'll have to injure him or something, because I’m a little busy right now. Perhaps you might stun him for me, and we can awaken him at our leisure?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift and approaches the brig, nodding to Petty Officer Schmitz on duty:: 

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hawthorne:  But I understand the need for caution on the Greenland's part.  Now that I better understand the telepathic abilities of the Risealans.

CNS_Vekh says:
::speaks in a pause of CO's and Hawthorne dialogues:: CO: Impulse power is restored. Warp engines are coming along as we speak.

SO_Hammond says:
::smiles:: CSO: Aye sir.  ::enters a turbolift::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::mutters:: XO: I don't know what you're talking about.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
TO_Schmitz: Release Reg.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: They need help getting power online, permission to head to Main Engineering?

EO_Powers says:
EO: Repairs are getting on slowly and having these guys in here isn't making it any quicker, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::overhears the communiqué:: EO: Powers ... I don't know, and I don't want to know. Just get back to work.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Certainly, Mister Edgemoor. You can join Mister Hammond in Main Engineering.

TO_Schmitz says:
::nods and releases the forcefield around Omin Rego’s cell::

EO_Powers says:
*CTO*: Will do, mate.

SO_Hammond says:
::thinks, I hope the Doctor doesn't find out what I'm doing::

XO_Linard says:
Hershey: Please, spare me your efforts in trying to deceive me...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Thank you Commander, keep us at all stop until the warp engines are repaired and we have finished our discussions with Omin Rego and Judge Hershey.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Aye aye, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Come on … we’ve got impulse working. Let's get warp back online.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Reg: Step out of your cell, Omin! Now!

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Yes sir.

Host Hawthorne says:
CO: Thank you sir ... now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to my troops. We'll need to collect our troop carriers and make our way back to the Greenland.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Yes sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Commander Storal, would you be so kind as to let me know the whereabouts of Lieutenant Hammond.  I'd like to see if he needs more pain medication.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::looks up from where he was napping ... gets up and calmly walks out of his cell::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods and rushes to the turbolift:: TL: Engineering!

EO_Powers says:
::glares at the marines as he gets back to work::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Omin: Come with me.

SO_Hammond says:
::exits the turbolift and looks around Main Engineering::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::follows the CTO looking at his back curiously::

XO_Linard says:
Hershey: I know you're lying ... so why don't you let me know what's going on before I call upon our resident Vulcan for a mind meld.

CSO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: *CMO*: Mr. Hammond is assisting Main Engineering in repairs.

CNS_Vekh says:
*CEO*: Any projections for the warp engines repairs, Commander?

CEO_Yeung says:
::sees the Science Officer:: SO: Lieutenant … good to see you up and about.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: Hawthorne: Thank you for your assistance, Mister Hawthorne.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::glares at the XO:: XO: I told you ... I don't know what you are talking about.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CNS*: We're working on it, Commander. I estimate we'll have it back within the hour.

Host Hawthorne says:
::nods at the CO and heads back to the turbolift heading for Main Engineering::

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: It's good to be up.  Where do you need me to help, sir.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::the lights are dim in the lift, but he moves through the ship as if nothing was wrong::

CNS_Vekh says:
*CEO*: Very well Mister Yeung.

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Warp engines are our top priority. You can help Powers with it.

XO_Linard says:
::gets annoyed but smiles anyway:: Hershey:  Okay fine ... I understand if you won't co-operate.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::the lift comes to a slow stop the doors slide open and John walks to Main Engineering::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::glares at the XO:: XO: I demand to be seen by a neutral representative as accorded to me by the Articles of Interstellar law … which your Federation claims to hold so dear.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::continues with Rego moving through the corridors of the ship::

CNS_Vekh says:
::taps consoles and runs the simulations on repairs projections:: CO: Engineering reports we'll be warp capable again within the hour.

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: I'll get right on it.  ::walks over to Powers::

XO_Linard says:
Hershey: Do you have someone in mind?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  You have the bridge.  CNS:  When Commander Cha`Dak returns with Omin Rego, I want you to escort Omin and join us in the ready room.  ::hears the comment about the engines:: CNS: Excellent Commander.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CEO: I am reporting here. We need these systems online an hour ago as you can imagine. I spent years on the Geneva engineering deck, maybe I can help somewhere.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::glances the other way:: XO: Of course not!

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::arrives at a turbolift:: Omin: Let's go!

SO_Hammond says:
EO: How is everything going?

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Excellent, I can use a hand on the shields. They're at 50% and rising. Another hand will speed things up.

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets his orders and signals for a replacement FCO:: *FCO*: Mister V'Taran, report to the Bridge. CO: Will do so, Captain.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns toward the ready room and walks through the door::

XO_Linard says:
::sits back nonchalantly:: Hershey: Well then I can't think of anyone either... ::lies too::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::turns back to face her, glaring at her from under her eyelids::

XO_Linard says:
::stands as she sees the CO enter and nods:: CO: Captain...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::rides with Omin in the turbolift to the bridge::

EO_Powers says:
SO: Slowly, there is a lot of damage.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks from Hershey to Linard:: XO:  Are you making any progress, Commander?

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::appears on the bridge almost immediately:: CNS: You sent for me, Commander?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift and approaches the Ready Room, then turns to Omin:: Omin: Wait here.

SO_Hammond says:
EO: Were do you want me to start?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::presses the chime for the Ready Room door::

XO_Linard says:
::glares at Hershey:: CO: Well, she tells me she knows nothing ... but she and I both know that’s a lie.

CSO_Storal says:
::paces the bridge going over damage reports::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::walks along with the CTO, shuffling his feet slightly::

CNS_Vekh says:
::turns to V'Taran:: FCO: Tholian punctuality, Mister V'Taran. Thank you, please do your magic. ::indicates the helm as he stands::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::glares angrily:: XO: You think you are so smart... ::stands and glares at the XO, her mind full of rage and hate::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CEO: Aye Chief. ::climbs up a few decks using a ladder from one of the high colium rings he is able to access the forward shield generator::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::grips the CTO's arm:: CTO: We need to get in there...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at his arm, then at Rego:: Omin: What do you mean?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hershey:  Calm down Judge Hershey, and please return to your seat.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::opens the door and enters the Ready Room, drawing his phaser::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::grabs a nearby kit and begins to work where the panel had already blown away::

XO_Linard says:
::stops and looks at Hershey ... taken aback by the intense malevolence::

CSO_Storal says:
V'Taran: As soon as the warp core is online ... best speed to Jovian 3.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::nods:: CNS: Of course, Commander.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Judge glares at the XO, a psionic wave of anger and hate boils out from her. The wave encompasses everyone in the Ready Room. It affects the XO first who begins to shake with the intense emotions beyond anything she has experienced before.

EO_Powers says:
SO: Try realigning the phase inducers.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::steps in with the CTO and quite quickly sees what is going on::

SO_Hammond says:
::wipes some more sweat off his forehead:: EO: Man, is it hot in here or is it just me?

XO_Linard says:
::shivers and buckles to her knees::

CNS_Vekh says:
::stands at the back of the Bridge waiting for the leave the Ready Room::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As soon as the XO is on the floor of the Ready Room, shaking from the extreme blast of psionic energy, the CTO and CO begin to feel the effects, holding there ears in pain as their minds are filled with the emotions of the Judge.

XO_Linard says:
::can't speak::

EO_Powers says:
SO: I’d say it's more warm than hot.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::dropping his phaser, he begins to yell, trying to block out the anger and hatred::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::steps in front of the XO and holds out a hand, sending his own psionic energy wave back at the Judge.

XO_Linard says:
::lets out an intense scream::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::puts her hands over her ears, trying to bear the pain::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::turns around looking down upon the main floor of engineering:: CEO: Chief, power is still rushing through this conduit can one of your men shut down the node for grid J61 please.

CSO_Storal says:
::hears the commotion in the Ready room and heads over and opens the door::

SO_Hammond says:
EO: Must be just me.  I’ll see what I can do about the inducers.

XO_Linard says:
::curls into a ball grasping her head in agony::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Omin holds out both his hands, trying to shield them from the intensity of the psionic blast from Judge Hershey. He manages to lessen the impact on the CTO, CO, and XO ... but each remains incapacitated as the wall of rage stays in place.

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Sure, I'll do that. ::shuts down the node::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the CSO and CNS open the ready room door they are both lifted off their feet and thrown back across the bridge by the energy of the psionic blast.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::is forced down to one knee, although the blinding white behind his eyes has faded, and he can see the phaser he dropped within his reach::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::feels the pain begin to ease but is unable to move::

CSO_Storal says:
::hits the wall and grunts in pain::

XO_Linard says:
::feels the pain subside and struggles to get to her feet::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::laughs at the bodies crumpled before her and looks down on the old man before her:: Omin: It was so easy to make it look like you were behind it all ... you made it so easy.

CNS_Vekh says:
::flies backwards and rolls on the deck:: Self: Ahh...

CSO_Storal says:
*Security*: Security to the bridge, Alpha priority.

TO_Verall says:
*CSO*: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
::is so weak she falls back down and lies there::

TO_Verall says:
::heads for the bridge with two other security officers::

CNS_Vekh says:
::rises to his feet and helps the CSO up to his:: CSO: That was unanticipated, sir.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::kneels before Hershey, trying to keep his mental bubble around the CTO, CO, and XO while not exposing himself ... she is a very strong telepath, and it is difficult.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::feels like she is pinned to the chair by the pain in her mind::

CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Thank you ... what’s going on?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::steps out onto the bridge, the psionic energy burst moving with her ... the security crewmembers are incapacitated almost before they even see her coming.

CNS_Vekh says:
CSO: It looks like we are experiencing another facet of the Risealan mental powers. ::takes a phaser::

XO_Linard says:
:;can sense the wall around her ... knows someone is protecting her::

CNS_Vekh says:
::points his phaser to Hershey and attempts to stun her::

CSO_Storal says:
::heads back to the ready room as Hershey enters a turbolift::*CMO*: Medical Emergency on the bridge.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::waves a hand towards the CNS and again a wave of emotion throws him back against the wall::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::gets to his feet, retrieving his phaser::

CNS_Vekh says:
::the phaser is slapped away from him as he is smacked against the bulkhead::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::walks past the downed security officers and enters a turbolift:: TL: Main Engineering...

TO_Verall says:
::arrives at the bridge with the two other security officers, from the turbolift on the opposite of the bridge, just as the doors to Hershey’s turbolift close::

SO_Hammond says:
::grits his teeth as a wave of pain from his burns passes through him::

XO_Linard says:
::feels herself shiver in weakness as she tries to get to her feet::

EO_Powers says:
SO: Are you okay?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
ACTION: As the turbolift doors close those on the bridge find themselves able to move again. But its difficult, as all the energy has been sapped from their bodies.

CNS_Vekh says:
::tries to raise his mental barriers and countermand Hershey’s influence:: Hershey: Get out of my mind or you'll pay... ::tries to free himself::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::feels her energy returning as Hershey leaves the ready room and crosses the bridge::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::panting he collapses onto the floor of the Ready Room::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::is amazed to see he has a great view of the Main Engineering main floor from up here::

SO_Hammond says:
EO: Yeah, I'll be fine.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CEO: I think I found me a sweet spot, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::gets to her knees and looks at Omin:: Self: ...what the...

EO_Powers says:
SO: I’ve got this covered, you can return to sickbay if you want.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::the turbolift doors part in front of her, on deck 13, and a crewman stares at her blank faced for a moment ... he begins to cry, then his knees buckle, and he falls to the deck a quaking mess as Hershey steps around him::

CSO_Storal says:
::tries to regain his strength:: Computer: Emergency, stop all turbolifts.

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles:: OPS: Don't get too comfortable, Lieutenant.

CNS_Vekh says:
::as the Judge exits he's released and falls hard on the floor, gasping for air::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::struggles to her feet and stumbles onto the bridge:: XO:  Take care of Omin.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Turbolifts grind to a halt, but she has already gotten out of hers before the command can be given.

XO_Linard says:
::nods and makes her way to Omin:: Omin: Let me help you up...

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, what happened?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Where is she?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::mutters to herself as she walks down the corridor:: Self: Destroy this ship and all will be saved ... the secrets will die with this vessel...

CSO_Storal says:
CO: She entered the turbolift …we couldn’t stop her.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::returns to the bridge::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::uneasily gets to his feet, leaning heavily on the XO::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::hearing the CSO, heads towards the turbolift::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CEO: Main forward shield array almost repaired.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Where was she headed?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the XO helps Omin to her feet, she begins to realize that the only voice in her head is her own.

CSO_Storal says:
::stumbles to the science console and brings up internal sensors trying to find the location of Hershey::

XO_Linard says:
::struggles under his weight but gives it everything she has::

CNS_Vekh says:
::half raises from the Deck:: CTO: Hershey took a turbolift, probably to Main Engineering … again.

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Good. Warp engines are almost done as well.

XO_Linard says:
::freezes and looks around::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Deck 13…

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Should we pursue, sir?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO/CNS:  Get down there and secure Main Engineering.

XO_Linard says:
~~~CSO: Imzadi?~~~

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A psionic energy burst rips the doors to main engineering off their hinges. The doors knock over and crush a pair of Marines. Almost immediately everyone else begins to feel the rage and anger of the wave.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Put Engineering on alert.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 13.

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: What the heck now?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::turns around and draws his phaser:: Self: What the…

CNS_Vekh says:
::regains his strength:: CO: With pleasure, sir. ::follows the CTO::

EO_Powers says:
::moves to the CEO's office and pulls out his dagger::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*:  Secure engineering ... intruder alert!

XO_Linard says:
::panics this time:: CSO: Imzadi!

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::her horns now fully extended, and her clothing but a tattered mess around her naked body, the Psionic energy wave precedes Hershey into Main Engineering::

CEO_Yeung says:
Computer: Erect forcefields around the intruder!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::can already feel the anger emanating from the judge, but he feels he can bear it:: CNS: I hope you have a strong mind, Orion.

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to fight back the pain::

CEO_Yeung says:
All: Get back!

XO_Linard says:
::looks to Omin:: Omin: Where did everyone go?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Forcefields snap into place, but somehow Hershey seems to pass through them, almost as if her hate were a shield.

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Oh crud...

Host Omin_Rego says:
::touches her cheek softly:: XO: You need to get to sickbay...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::trains his phaser on breached door hoping not to be seen for high up in order to get first shot if needed::

EO_Powers says:
::looks to the CEO::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: You'd be surprised, Mister Cha`Dak.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Now, we get a phaser.

XO_Linard says:
::shudders:: Omin: I ... can't hear ... I can't hear them.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: But I think we should use more than our minds. Strategy may win the day again yet again.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::attempts to fire a shot at Hershey::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::enters Main Engineering, and those near her think, for some reason, she is growing taller as she moves towards the warp core ... a cackle escapes her mouth as she is stung by a phaser blast and laughs, looking at the warp core::

SO_Hammond says:
::heads for the nearest phaser locker and grabs a phaser::

EO_Powers says:
::hand the CEO the phaser from his pocket::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::feels the phaser shot pass off the Psionic wave and glares over at Edgemoor ... waves a hand in his direction::

CSO_Storal says:
::wants to check on his Akayah ... but there is a job that needs to be done::

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks between the 'demon', and the core:: Self: Oh, no you don't.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::hands a phaser to the CNS::

CEO_Yeung says:
::hurries over to an engineering console and starts the ejection sequence::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Get us some gas masks. I have an idea. ::takes the phaser::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift with Vekh, and follows the crumpled bodies and debris in the wake of Judge Hershey::

EO_Powers says:
::throws his dagger at her::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the psionic wave rushes out at Edgemoor, he is lifted off his feet. He sails through the air, smashing into the warp core immediately above the M/ARC chamber door. He falls to the deck ... and continues to fall another deck down through the three-story structure, landing on the floor of deck 14 with a bone shattering crash.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Is there any way to track where she is heading?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
Self: Oh Lord... ::is lifted off his feet::

XO_Linard says:
::makes her way onto the bridge takes a deep breath:: Omin: I'm okay ... it's probably only temporary.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stops at a storage locker, grabbing two oxygen masks:: CNS: Will these do?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::reaches out and picks up Powers with her energy ... pulls him near:: EO: You dare to defy me with a knife?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, I’m detecting major energy levels in Main Engineering. I think that may be where she is located.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
All: Argh!

CNS_Vekh says:
::following Cha`Dak across the massacre:: *XO*: We need the entire deck 13 flooded with the strongest anesthetic gas you have, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::tries to hurry the ejection sequence along, sees that the computer is going through the various checks and runs up executing a flying sidekick at Hershey::

EO_Powers says:
Hershey: Heck yeah!

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::tosses Powers across the deck, he skidders across the floor roughly::

EO_Powers says:
::swings a leg at her::

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes the mask:: CTO: I hope they will serve, Cha`Dak!

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::she backhands Yeung as he too closes and slams him back to the deck::

XO_Linard says:
::is a little distraught:: *CNS*: Acknowledged Commander ... get Doctor Naegle on it right away!

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Argh!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO: Understood...  All:: There has to be a way to stop her...

CSO_Storal says:
::tries to lock on the Judge with the transporters:: CO: It looks like someone has begun an ejection sequence for the warp core.

EO_Powers says:
::gets up and charges at her::

CNS_Vekh says:
*CMO*: Doctor Naegle, come in!

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::her psionic energy wearing out in this much larger space, she uses her physical power, which is far more than it should be, to fight these individuals as she grabs hold of Powers, grappling with him::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CNS*: Yes, Counselor … how can I help you?

EO_Powers says:
::tries to take out her legs::

SO_Hammond says:
::runs up the best he can and tries to take out her legs::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::pins the Engineer to the floor, slamming down on top of him::

CNS_Vekh says:
*CMO*: Commander, I need you to set up environmental controls to flood Deck 13 with the strongest anesthetic gas we have in sickbay. And I'd need that for yesterday if you please.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::grabs Hammond by the neck and tosses him over her head::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, the transporters won’t lock on. She is phasing in and out of sync.

EO_Powers says:
:: tries to flip her over his head but can’t; jabs an elbow into her gut::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::images of his father Greg, his mother Cynthia, his Wife Anne and his new born daughter a long with a few of his great Apache times fly before his eyes in a cloudy mist as he loses unconsciousness, lying in a crumpled mass on the floor of deck 14::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands next to Commander Vekh, awaiting the right moment::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::tosses Powers aside and continues towards the Warp Core, gets her hand on the chamber door just as Powers grabs at her elbow::

CNS_Vekh says:
::running to Main Engineering after Cha`Dak:: CTO: Now, if this does not work … I’m afraid I’ve run out of ideas.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::tries to shake the annoying Engineer off her elbow and bellows at him loudly, swiping at him with her horns::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Report!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Understood ... she may be trying to retake engineering or else destroy the ship.

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks, everyone wants everything yesterday:: CNS: Okay Commander, but why?  ::as she begins to prepare the anesthetic::

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Very busy! ::charges Hershey::

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Can we overload the consoles in engineering to create energy pulses? Perhaps that will set her back somehow...

EO_Powers says:
::swings at her with a broken bit of bulkhead::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::dons the oxygen mask, and stops at the doors to Main Engineering:: CNS: We should wait until the gas begins flooding Main Engineering.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Possible ... but I can’t do that from here.

XO_Linard says:
::feels her mind coming back ... at least some of it anyway::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: They need to do that from Main Engineering.

CNS_Vekh says:
*CMO*: I may answer you if I survive, Doctor Naegle. We have a serious emergency down here.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::screams as the bulkhead bit cuts her ... bashing him in the forehead sending him reeling::

SO_Hammond says:
::lays for a few seconds and gets up and heads back:: Self: I wont go down without a fight.

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Do we have communication with Engineering?

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Aye sir…

CNS_Vekh says:
::puts his own mask on:: CTO: Precisely, Mister Cha`Dak. ::hears the sounds from Main Engineering and thinks that's not good::

CEO_Yeung says:
::starts slamming series of punches at Hershey’s side::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CNS*: Aye Commander, I understand.  I have the compound ready to release.  I’m releasing it into the atmosphere now.

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Then  get the CEO on it ... if he's able.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the computer finalizes the ejection sequence, the warp core again goes offline and begins to slide down through the hull of the ship as the ejection door pops off the outer hull. The core rushes through the decks and past the broken body of Mister Edgemoor just as anesthetic gas begins to fill the engineering spaces.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods to Vekh and enters Main Engineer, sealing the doors behind them:: *CSO*: Commander, seal off Main Engineering, now!

CSO_Storal says:
CO/XO: Sir, the core has been ejected from Main Engineering.

CNS_Vekh says:
*XO*: Commander, Deck 13 should be sealed now. We have Doctor Naegle venting an anesthetic agent into the environmental systems.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::sees the core leaving the ship, her eyes go wide ... screams so loudly that those in Main Engineering begin to bleed through the ears:: All: NO!

XO_Linard says:
::hears her console beeping:: CSO: I think he beat you too it!

CSO_Storal says:
*CTO *: Acknowledged… ::seals off Main Engineering and the surrounding decks again::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::screams in pain::

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Argh! ::covers his ears::

SO_Hammond says:
::gives one final lunge for her legs::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::falls on the railing where the warp core used to be ... collapses to the deck .succumbing to the anesthetic gas ... claws at the edge of the well where the core used to be::

EO_Powers says:
::grabs some earplugs he just happens to carry around and puts them in his ears as he begins to feel the effects of the gas::

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Agreed ... seal it off, Commander!

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets inside with Cha`Dak and looks all the way up to the 'new and improved' Judge Hershey:: Self: By the One-eyed Guard of Orion Hell!

EO_Powers says:
::throws bits of door at her::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::feels slightly relieved:: All:  Now to get Judge Hershey under control.

XO_Linard says:
::smiles through the confusion in her mind:: CSO: I think he's ahead of us.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Now, Mister Vekh! ::fires his phaser, set to stun::

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at the XO and mouths::  XO: Are you okay?

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets to one knee in pain, but remembers how to use a phaser, sets it and fires at Hershey::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::puts up no resistance as the CEO, SO, and EO pin her to the ground, the anesthetic drug sapping her energy ... slowly begins to shrink, and transform back into Hershey as she lies on the floor of Main Engineering::
