"The Mirror"
USS Apache
Mission #160

Prologue:
The USS Apache is currently enroute to rendevous with the T'Nami, a Vulcan science vessel.  It has been monitoring what appears to be a subspace vacuole.

The USS Apache has been sent to represent the Federation and establish as defensive standpoint if needed.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walking around doing things::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: Boy am I glad you're in one piece after that holodeck business.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO:We are still on our rendevous course. All departments have checked in and are mission ready.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::distractedly turns back to the primary science station when he hears several beeps...pulls up the long range sensor reports::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods and seats herself... smiling at him:: XO: Good, at least we can enjoy things being normal for a little while longer...

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: Don't remind me. ::shudders at the memory of how badly he screwed up, fingers his pip, acknowledging it's still there::

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: The USS Apache comes out of warp approaching the rendevous point.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO :Mr. Bern, anything on sensors yet?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::feels the ship power down and looks to her console::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::hears COMM beep:: CO: Incoming message from T'Nami, Captain.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: Picking up several anomalous readings from the opposite side of the vacuole point, sir.They seem to be moving. I don't have a good read yet.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::exits TL and walks onto the bridge::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::is checking on the ship much more frequently after the holodeck incident, not wanting to make a single mistake::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CSO: Keep on it Mr. Bern. Let me know when you have something.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks up at the CMO:: CMO: Hello doctor.... OPS: Onscreen, Commander...

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::hits the Button to put the message onscreen::

Host Miaek says:
<Jilk> COM: Apache: Greetings Captain Linard, I am Sub Commander Jilk

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
XO: I will, Sir. ::runs several algorithms on short range sensor readings, hoping now to get a better reading::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::sees the CO is busy so just nods back and heads over to OPS to bug Janet::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::rises to her feet, her usual warm smile spreading across her face:: COM: Jilk: Hello, Sub Commander Jilk. How are things with you?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: Any other ships in the vicinity Jon?

Host Miaek says:
<Jilk> COM: Apache:  Several of our crew have been struck with an illness, we have received orders to head back to port

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: I'm not detecting any other ships, commander.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::raises her eyebrows in genuine concern:: COM: T'Nami: Nothing serious I hope....Is there anything we can do?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks concerned at the Vulcan's statement::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::whispers to CMO:: CMO: Maybe you can help there.

Host Miaek says:
<Jilk> COM: Linard: Cold sweats, strange behavior, no explanation ::begins to sweat himself::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: Good, I don't want any unwelcomed guests ::grins::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::grins:: XO: Don't worry. It wouldn't be anything that we can't handle.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods to the CMO to begin looking in the ship's database for possiblities:: COM: Jilk: Have you experienced anything like this before?

Host Miaek says:
<Jilk> COM: Linard:  Perhaps we are just in need of a little tension break.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::nods and grins in acknowledgement::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
COM: Jilk: Perhaps. What kind of strange behaviour are we talking about?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::makes sure all the defensive are fully functional::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::checks on something::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*CEO*: Ens, could you report to sickbay at your earliest convenience for a physical? Dr.Karl will run the tests.

Host Miaek says:
<Jilk> ::wipes his brow and gives a slight smirk:: COM: Linard: CO: No behavior change, we must be going now.

Host Miaek says:
ACTION:  The T'Nami has broken off communications.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
COM: Jilk: But didn't you just say...::watches the screen go blank::.....

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: Did that Vulcan just smirk?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: What's going up there?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
FCO: What is their location Lieutenant?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::looks through the records at science>::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Shall I try to get him back, Captain?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::frowns, and runs a sensor scan of the T'Nami::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: Ummm... ::checks::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: I believe so, Jordan

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: I can give you full power if you need it.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: They look... like their headed to Vulcan.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CSO: Lieutenant, begin scanning the sector.... CMO: Doctor, you work with him and see if there is anything there that can attribute to their illness.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::sweeps the entire sector and begins compiling data::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
CO: Captain, I ran a scan of their ship, and it seems that their onboard temperature is at 62.3 degrees farenheit.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::wonders what could possess a Vulcan to smirk::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
*CEO*: Things are ok for now, Ensign. Please report to sickbay as soon as possible so that your physical can be completed.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods at the FCO:: OPS: Try and reach them again.... let them know that we can try and help them.... they could possibly risk infecting thier entire planet.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: Understood.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::heads for sickbay::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
Self: Or they may be hoping to infect the whole planet...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CTO: Is that normal for a Vulcan ship?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks into sickbay is the any body here::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: Aye, sir. COM: T'Nami: Sub-Commander Jilk, please respond. We want to help you.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::shrugs:: CO: I wouldn't know. Never been on a Vulcan ship before, but that does seem hot.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::helps CSO look for the cause of the illness::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Dr.Karl> CEO: What can I do you for?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods:: CTO: That would also explain why he's sweating... did you get anything else from them?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CMO: I am here to report for my physical.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: Hello, sir. ::appears rather distracted, continuing to scan the sector::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::lazily leans on the rail at tactical:: CO: Nope, nothing else, Captain.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Dr.Karl> CEO: You jump up onto the biobed and I'll run a few tests.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
CMO: Ok, Doc. ::hops on one of the biodeds::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Sweating and strange behavior...sounds familiar...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at the CTO then nods.... then does a double take as he leans on the rail:: CTO: Tired, Commander?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: Lieutenant, you ever heard of anything like this before?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods:: XO: It does... and that's what worries me....

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: No, why'd you ask?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CMO/CSO: What do you have gentlemen? Anything?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: Are we going to follow them?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: Subspace vacuoles have been... ::shakes his head and blinks a few times::  Did you mean the illness, Doctor?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
FCO: We've been asked to study this sector... but my medical instincts are telling me to, Lieutenant....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Karl> ::runs a few scans and tuts a bit::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: The mission should take precidence Sir.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CTO: ::shakes head:: No reason... as you were.... and if you don't mind, the console isn't a leaning post....

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: I know you didn't ask for my opinion, Ma'am, but I agree with you.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: With all do respect, we can't do both, and if you don't decide too soon, it may be too late to follow them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO:We should send a message to the Vulcan vessel and let the know what they may be dealing with.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: both.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::sighs and straightens up:: CO: Aye, aye.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO: No luck so far sir.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::nods:: XO/CMO: This vacuole isn't going anywhere... but if this is an unknown illness it might be dangerous....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Karl>::taps Harris' knee with a small hammer like instrument::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::leans on the back of the FCO's chair and pats his shoulder:: FCO: Thank you Mr. Terman, I think you're right.... set a course and follow them...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO:Your correct, but we need to investegate the vacuole. We are the only ship in the area.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::drums his fingers on the rail, wondering when they were going to take some action::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO: I'll try to identify it's symptoms and cause as soon as possible sir.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: Aye, Captain! ::immediatly checks over the Vulcan flightpath and makes a parallel course::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
XO: That we do, but Starfleet will have to wait for our findings...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: We should contact Starfleet and have them send another vessel to intercept them.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::engaging, of course, as soon as the course is plotted::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO: I'm afraid I've never heard of anything like the illness the Captain of the T'Nami described. Vacuoles, however, I'm very familiar with.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Karl>::notes Harris' reaction then steps back:: CEO: I believe you are suffering from Cardassian leg rot.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::suddenly stands up and starts running around the bridge, first punching the FCO in the shoulder:: FCO: Tag! You're it!

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet and let them know there will be a small delay.....::watches her jump up::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Karl: A what?? Doc?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::furrows her brow:: OPS: Commander!! As you were!! ::angrily::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::sees what Naegles does and bursts out laughing::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: Have there been cases of vacuoles causing illness in the past?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::looks at the OPS officer, slightly irritated, then proceeds to follow the Vulcans::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::throws a look to the CTO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Excuse me, Sir. We need to investegate the Vacuole. Let another ship worry about the Vulcans.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::runs over to the captain and pokes her in the shoulder: CO: You're it, now!

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::calms down somewhat, wiping tears from his eyes, still chuckling::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::grabs the OPS by her wrist muttering:: OPS: Janet, what's come over you.... this is hardly the place.... now take your seat....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Karl>CEO: I'm just playing with you. You appear to be fine. Be careful in engineering or you may not stay that way.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
CMO:  Not to my knowledge.  This is odd, though...I'm reading movement from within the vacuole itself.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
XO: We're already after them, we might as well catch them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO:We are to proceed with our mission.. let someone else deal with them!

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at the XO, very annoyed:: XO: Thank you Commander, you've made your point...::calmly::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
<Karl> Self: I've been round Powers way too much.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: But I want to play!!!!

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
Karl: Doc you had me worried there for a moment.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::getting agitated:: CO: I don't think I have, Sir...

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks out of sickbay and heads back to Main Engineering::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
OPS: Don't have me relieve you of duty, Janet....

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::looks around the bridge, knowing that this isn't how the crew should be acting... something's awry::

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: As the Apache puts distance between them and the vacuole, behaviors return to normal.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::looks downcast:: CO: Okay. ::looks around:: What in the world???

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::he feels himself calm down::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::walks into Engineering::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::blinks as if something in his head clicked back into place::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
:: lets her go and nods to the helm:: OPS: I believe you had a post to man, Commander...

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: How are things going on with the Vulcan ship?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: Captain, I apologize. ::sits down at her post::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::hardly notices the ruckus going on behind him...is too busy prodding LCARS for some kind of results as to a possible link between the vacuole and the perceived difficulties on the T'Nami::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks around the bridge, sighing as the reckless thoughts of the crew begin to subside::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: Whatever in the world got over you?

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: Scans pick-up a large explosion, reveals the T'Nami has been destroyed.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::watches as the crew behave strangely::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::takes a seat:: FCO: Are we still following the T'Nami, Mr Terman?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: I don't know. ::puts in a call to Starfleet and tells them what's going on, including the strange behavior::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks his sensors:: CO: Captain! The T'Nami just exploded!

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: What was the explosion that my sensors just picked up?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::notices the explosion:: CO: We were...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::blinks hearing the CTO:: CTO: What? What happened?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::slows the ship::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: I just got this feeling that the bridge was a playground.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::checks sensor logs:: CO: It . . . it appears that it self-destructed . . .

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*CEO*: The vulcan ship just exploded.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CMO*: What? How many people were on board?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::rises to her feet and heads to the CTO...pausing and looking over her shoulder as if someone was calling her:: XO: What was that Commander?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Sir? ::gives her a puzzling look.::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*CEO*: 243

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::falls back into the seat:: Self: My God, why...?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: What gave you that idea?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::shakes her head and looks to the screen blankly:: FCO: Lieutenant, set a course back to the vacuole co-ordinates....

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO: I suggest we put a warning beacon out untill we have a better understanding of the illness sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: Sir, are you alright?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: I don't know, Jordan. I thought you all were playmates on a playground and we were in a big tag game.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
CO: But... ::decides not to argue and reverses course:: On our way.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
Self: Come on, computer... ::frowns and pushes the "Search" button a few more times, becoming somewhat impatient...looks at the scans of the vacuole to determine whether anything's changed::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks at the XO as if he has 10 heads:: XO: Of course, why wouldn't I be?

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: I've got a bad feeling about this...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: See if you can run a scan on the debris.. any escape pods or log bouys?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CMO: That's a good idea, Doctor....::nods to the CTO to prepare a beacon:: CTO: Dispatch that beacon when we reach the vacuole....

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::runs a quick scan, and while that's being done, preps the beacon::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: No reason.. just asking.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::without lifting his eyes, intently trying to focus on his terminal::  CO: Perhaps we should also ready a probe to launch to investigate the vacuole more closely.  I'm reading some movement from within.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::goes to sit at the command chair but gets the urge to remain standing::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: Just out of curiosity, when did I start acting strangely?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO:That does sound adviseable.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
OPS: Right about when we left to chase the Vulcans.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: A probe would give us a better vantage point.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CSO: Movement? ::grins:: Curious, very curious.... yeah...::waves her hand nonchalantly:: do that then.....

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
FCO: Hmmmm

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::goes back to work::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::searches again through records for any mention of the illness in the past::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::sees the results of the scan:: CO: No escape pods, buoys, or anything else survived the explosion, Captain.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::heads to the CTO's station and drapes herself over the console, grinning smugly at him::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::suddenly gets up and heads to the TL::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Mr. Terman.. where are you going?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::watches him get up:: FCO: Hey, where are you going?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO: Are you feeling alright captain?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::eyes the captain warily, nodding at her::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
XO: Fort Apache, I could really use a cheeseburger right about now...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: Mr Terman. Return to your post now.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CTO: Cool.... oh well.... ::traces her fingers around the console then tracing them up Jon's hand up his arm...casually... nonchalantly::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::pauses:: XO: Do you want anything?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: NOW, Lieutenant!

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::begins preparing a probe, setting it specifically to scan for subspace stress levels and electromagnetic or radiation interference::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::sees the captain's fingers and gives the captain smug grin like hers::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::overhears the FCO and chuckles:: CTO: I know what I want....::grabs the CTO and pulls him to her, engaging him in a deep kiss::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::jumps at the XO's tone:: XO: I'll only be a couple minutes. ::enters the TL::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::thinks 'HOT MOMMA!!!'::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
FCO: MR TERMAN!

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::suddenly gets up and runs over to the CSO: Tag, You're it!

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir!!

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::doesn't hear, or pretends not to hear the XO:: TL: Fort Apache.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
XO: I think we should probably move away from the vacuole sir.

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
OPS: Don't bother me with games right now!  Can't you see I'm trying to work?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CMO:Your right...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::breaks the kiss and grins lustily at him:: CTO: My place or yours....??

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CSO: Well, fine!  CO: Mommy, Roger won't play with me!

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::wraps his arms around the captain, pulling her closer::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::feels a bit jumpy, hoping he can complete this search in time::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::waves at the XO without looking:: XO: You have the bridge, Commander...

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::walks over to flight control and steers the ship away::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO/CTO: That is enough!!

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::launches the probe toward the vacuole::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
OPS: Then play with yourself... I'm busy!!

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: As the Apache begins to move away, it comes to a full stop and powers down, drifting back to the vacuole.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::gives the XO and annoyed:: XO: Hey, how about sharing love. You can't keep a sweet thing like her all by yourself..

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::exits the TL and enters Fort Apache:: Barkeep: I could use a cheeseburger, the way they make them back home. And some whiskey.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::slinks in closer to the CTO and wraps herself around him:: CTO: Aww to hell with it... here is just fine....::throws him to the console and kisses him again::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: What?!

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::starts jumping over consoles:: All: Oh Boy!!!!

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*Karl*: We have a medical situation up here. How are things down there?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::over his shoulder:: All: Can't you give me just two minutes of peace and quiet to try to figure out what's going on here!?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::begins tearing off the CTO's uniform jacket::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CSO: You're no fun, Roger. ::starts hitting him like a child::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::runs over to the CO and pulls her away::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::stares at the Captain with lust::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::gets his meal:: Barkeep: No french fries? Come on, a cheeseburger's never served without french fries! ::drinks some whiskey and takes a bite out of the cheeseburger::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::scans:: CMO: Doctor, we're drifting back toward the vacuole. We'd better do something, quickly!

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
XO: Commander! I told you to command the ship.... now command!!...::pushes past him to get at the CTO again::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::pushes the XO:: XO: Hey, you already got your turn!

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: What in hell is going on up there?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::runs to Flight control and flies the ship away from the vacuole::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CMO*: What is going on up there?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: You heard the lady. ::tuns to Linard with a grin:: CO: Now, where were we?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::starts running around the bridge, trying to get someone to play tag with her:: All: No one wants to play?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
CTO: Right here. ::grabs him and pulls him to her again::

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::finishes off his cheeseburger and starts on the fries:: Barkeep: That's better.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::pushes her away, and turns to the CTO:: CTO: Alright, that's it!!!  ::swings at the CTO::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*computer*: What is going on the bridge?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*CEO*: It's a little busy up here. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: The CTO hets hit in the jaw and falls to the ground with a busted lip.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CTO: You want more of this Johnny boy?!?! ::stands with fists ready::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::wipes the blood form his lip with the back of his hand and growls at the XO:: XO: And in the middle of the good part!

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::screams at them both:: CTO/XO: Stop! Stop it right now!!! ::stomps her foot::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::body tackles the XO::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::pushes the "Search" button repeatedly:: Self: I don't have time for this! What is taking so long? What is going on...?! ::squirms in his chair, afraid he won't complete his work on time::

Host Miaek says:
ACTION: A surge hits the Apache and engines resume moving the ship away from the vacuole, Behaviors return to normal.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::stops at the OPS station:: All: Oh boy, walkie talkies!  ::begins pressing COM buttons:: COM: Anything: Hello!  Hello??

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: What is going on up there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::lands on his back and begins to struggle with the CTO::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::grabs hold of the XO's arm and tries to pull him away from the CTO:: XO: No don't hit him!! You'll..... ::pauses::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::just as when he was about to land a punch in the XO's face, freezes::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::shakes his head:: Self: What...is...going on?  ::groans in frustration, and eases into his usual calm state rather naturally::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::suddenly stops what she's doing:: ALL: Okay, what just happened here?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::realizes what he is doing:: CTO: Please tell me we are doing an exibition in martial arts?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
*CEO*: The crew's behaviours appear to be affected. They are acting strangely.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::Jordan is just about to order seconds and looks blankly around:: Self: What in God's name...? Oh dear... ::gets up and runs to the TL::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::looks from the CTO to the XO::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*Bridge*: I am stopping the engines now.

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::blanches and slowly gets up:: XO: Just as soon as you tell me that the captain and I were NOT making out on the bridge.....

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::fixes her half torn off jacket:: *CEO*: I think that would be best, Ensign.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::gets to his feet:: CTO: I wish I could...

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: It's almost like they were drunk.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CO*: Understood.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::runs straight into the TL, hitting the back wall:: TL: Oof... Bridge, pronto!

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::looks at his torn uniform, then at the captain, then the floor, his face fully red::

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::stop the ship from moving::

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CMO: Okay, do you have any idea what just happened and when?

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
::blinks a few times...checks the short range sensor logs::  CMO:  I...I know.  ::flushes a bit, as he was reacting rather unlike himself as well, but not quite to the extreme that he heard...halfway glad he didn't turn to observe the chaos::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
FCO: Hold our position here.... ::looks around at everyone:: ALL: Okay... we aren't going anywhere until we figure this out.....

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::shakes his hand in pain:: CTO:You have a hard chin Commander...Sorry...

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Yeah I do. I think we need to stay away from the vacuole and we need to keep other ships way too.

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: I think we need to put as much distance as we can between us and this position, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
CO: I agree, Captain. What in God's name would make me do something like that?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::eyes the CTO as she moves away and pats his arm reassuringly.... looks at the XO and turns away.. shamefully::

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
XO: Yeah...nice swing too.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CO*: I am turning this ship around and getting us out of here.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: I'm so sorry for my inapropriate conduct. I don't know what got over me... ::pauses as he notices the CTO's half ripped off shirt and bloody lip:: CTO: What happened to you?

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::still looking:: CO: Sorry about....before, captain...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::says softly:: XO: An even better idea, Commander.... it's obvious that there are more surprises here than meets the eyes.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Ensign, but I'll leave that to the Mr. Terman....

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
FCO: Would you believe.....a Klingon came over for a fight?

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
::remembers what happened the last time things happened this way:: CO: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
*CEO*: Are the engines damaged or in anyway affected by the anomaly?

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
*CO*: No, Sir, they're not. We have full power.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::looks toward the captain and notices she's red then back at the CTO:: CTO: No... but I think I'll pretend I can. ::heads over to his station, assuming, of course, no one currently occupies it::

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::grins back at the CTO:: CTO: What's there to be sorry about Commander? I came on to you..

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
OPS: Do you often play tag on the bridge?

OPS_LtCmdr_Naegle says:
::sits down at her station:: CMO: Uh, no. This is the first time. It wore me out!

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::heads back to his position, remembering to get a new uniform::

CSO_LtJG_Bern says:
Self: Some of the short range scans seem...  ::pauses::  The last several times that the bridge crew began acting oddly, we were on approach to the vacuole...  But...I've never heard of anything like this happening, before.

FCO_LtJG_Terman says:
::under his breath:: Self: Come on... oh, how I wish I could've seen that.

CEO_Ens_Harris says:
::sits in his chair::

Host XO_Cmdr_Storal says:
CO: The area around the vacuole must give off sypmtoms similar to the PSI 2000 virus....

CTO_Cmdr_Yeung says:
::tries really hard not to remember that...but fails:: CO: Um....sure, captain...

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
::smiles bashfully:: CTO: No offence, but I hope it doesn't happen again. ::stops and leans into him, muttering:: For the record..... you have strong..... lips.

Host CO_Cpt_Linard says:
FCO: Keep us at a safe distance Mr. Terman..... CSO: Mr. Bern... keep scanning that vacuole.... XO: ::grins at him:: You're thinking what I'm thinking, and I thought I was the Betazoid.
