Star Trek: Apache Episode #3
Week # 12
Mission: "To Break the Back of..."

Host Jafo says:
The USS Apache has reported that it has found the wreckage of the USS Custer and another Breen torpedo. They have disabled it, and are currently searching for survivors. There are hopes that more survivors will be found.

Host Jafo says:
There are several instances of personnel phasing in and out, reported. All crews are being affected by what is causing the phasing. The cause is still under investigation, as is a way to counter it. One crewmember from the USS Custer was found and transported to the Apache. She has phased out as well.

Host Jafo says:
The Apache has sustained some damage in Main Engineering. Medical teams are caring for the wounded. An overloaded phaser was the cause of the damages. The warp core integrity has been maintained, however Main Engineering requires massive repairs.  Investigation of the rift which destroyed the Mudok is still underway.

Host Jafo says:
<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission Week 4 >>>>>>>>>>>

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Anethstazine gas wears off, the headaches begin to bother the CMO, MO ... and this time the SO ... as well.  The nausea is back and the Ferengi in Engineering becomes conscious again just as the EO overloaded phaser explodes against his body killing him. Unfortunately, the overloaded phaser also is extremely close to the warp core.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A cascade warp core failure begins...

EO_Tekaro says:
::struggles to feet with all out effort::

TO_Evans says:
@::Continues moving through the wreckage::

FCO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Warp Core Breach in progress!

MO_Naegle says:
::in sickbay, feels headache coming back::

CIV_Powers says:
::sits at station nervously::

CEO_Toros says:
:: runs to the control panel at the side of the door and taps furiously to over-ride the code :: Self: come On, Come On ...

CMO_Quest says:
:: looks at SO as he walks into SB ::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Luckily the forcefield thrown up by the EO saves the warp core from the brunt of the blast, but the explosion tears through Main Engineering killing the Ferengi and injuring most of the engineering crew.

MO_Naegle says:
SO: Ours are coming back too, Storal, come lie down on the bio-bed.

CSO_Telik says:
::with the CEO, moves into engineering and goes to station to monitor the situation with the warp core::

CO: It appears that the matter/antimatter injectors are damaged due to the explosion.

EO_Tekaro says:
Self: NO! Can’t let this happen....

CO_Tyler says:
::Nods to Mr. Powers to continue with the orders::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: EO Tekaro falls to the floor with severe third degree plasma burns over most of his body and plasma conduits throughout main engineering blow out.

::runs to the turbolift and heads to ME::

CEO_Toros says:
*Bridge*: Begin evacuating all non-essential personnel, I don't know if I can stabilize the core in time!

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Sir, the team is not picking anything up.

MO_Naegle says:
SO: By progress, do you mean have we figured out what is causing it?

CMO_Quest says:
SO: That should help with the headache and nausea.  But we need a cure

EO_Tekaro says:
CEO: ....Toros.....try the containment field.......ugh. ::passes out::

CO_Tyler says:
OPS:  Shipwide Com, all civilians and non essential personnel to shuttles, prepare to evacuate.

MO: No ma’am, have you found out anything new

CIV_Powers says:
*All*: All civilians and non-essential personnel to shuttles, prepare to evacuate

FCO_Turnbull says:
*CEO*:  Roger that!  Status?  Do you need us to blow the core from here?

CEO_Toros says:
CSO: To Get this warp core stabilized! Out of my way man! :: runs to a manual override console entering in his command codes to cut the anti-matter flow ::

MO_Naegle says:
SO: New?  No, just the same symptoms.

CIV_Powers says:
CO: does that include me?

EO_Tekaro says:
::struggles to breathe, choking like crazy::

CMO_Quest says:
SO: What about the science department?  What have they learned?

FCO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, Incoming transmission from the AT.  What should we tell them?

CEO_Toros says:
*FCO*: I'm trying to do that now! The systems are not responding!

@*CO* Aye sir ... Good Luck with the ship, Sir

CEO_Toros says:
:: taps frantically at the override hitting it with his hands and feet now attempting to eject the core ::

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Sir, I can't pick up any other survivors.  Perhaps they are closer to where we found the female officer.

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Assemble your team, on my location

CO_Tyler says:
CIV:  Mr. Powers, for the moment, you're needed on the bridge, prepare to man life pods.

@*CMO*: Sit tight. We have to figure out how to alleviate the gravity problem before anyone leaves the pods

CMO_Quest says:
@XO: yes sir...

FCO_Turnbull says:
%::with gusto:: CO: Aye, Aye, Sir!  ::sets thrusters to steer toward the ship::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Shuttles in orbit ... containing the CIV, FCO, CO, & CEO ... make there way back towards the Apache as she floats dead in space.

CMO_Quest says:
@MO/SO: well, that's one good news... :: sigh ::

CSO_Telik says:
@ ::walks through the door as it opens for him.::

EO_Tekaro says:
@::passes out again::

MO_Naegle says:
@CMO: Are you okay, Dr?

CO_Tyler says:
%COM: CEO:  Someone has to find out which it is.

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: What’s happening

SO_Storal says:
@ ::smiles::

CSO_Telik says:
@::trips over and officer who is lying on the floor right in the doorway::

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Lets move on to the next one

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO/CO: Scan her; Make sure it's stable. I'm not one to take chances now... ::uses his own meager sensors to scan the whole of the ship ::

CMO_Quest says:
@MO: oh yes... but my headache is coming back ... nothing new there... :: smiles ::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Sir, I volunteer.  Maybe Toros and I could beam over.

CO_Tyler says:
%CIV:  The Apache appears to have stabilized.

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Aye sir, I have it about one click to the northwest.

XO_Valrek says:
@::jogs to the next pod::

MO_Naegle says:
@CMO: Are you sure?

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO: I heard that Lieutenant... :: smiles :: I concur, perhaps we should beam over...

TO_Evans says:
@::Keeps pace with XO::

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: never happened in the old days

CMO_Quest says:
@MO: I am fine... honest.... how about the two of you?

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Any of your team report in yet?

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Team one reports contact with a pod.

CSO_Telik says:
@::falls to the floor hitting his head on a consoel::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Sir?  What do you want to do?  

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Team two, making contact now.

SO_Storal says:
@CMO: I’m okay, just trying to get this darn thing to work.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::briefly regains consciousness::

MO_Naegle says:
@CMO: I'm okay, just the bad headache.

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Good. Make sure that they leave the pods intact

CEO_Toros says:
%:: maneuvers his shuttle to one of the shuttlebays and parks it outside with anticipation to hear from the Captain ::

CO_Tyler says:
%*XO* Ens. Storal and Ens. Telik have found a way to reverse the phasing effects.  I suggest you find a way to get everyone off shuttles then work on recovering the survivors from the Custer.

CSO_Telik says:
@::now has a major headache but now remembers who he is!!!!::

CMO_Quest says:
@MO/SO: Well, while we're here, we might as well figure out what to do with this phasing thing.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache shuttle bay doors were closed .... but now are wide open for some reason.

EO_Tekaro says:
@Self: Oh my...ugh. ::can hardly breathe, something logged in trachea::

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Aye, sir.  They will probably need some shelter until Starfleet gets here.

XO_Valrek says:
@*CO*: Aye sir, working on that now.

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Sir?  CEO and I can beam over there...

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO/CO: Captain! S'Toran, Sirs! The Apache, The Shuttle Bay Doors are open! :: is excited beyond belief at this now nerve racking phenomena ::

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Team 2 reports contact; team one has linked up with another pod.

CSO_Telik says:
@::notices the EO choking and go to give him the Heimlich maneuver::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%::pilots shuttle toward Apache, also excited::

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: Wwhat did your scans reveal Storal?

CO_Tyler says:
%FCO: Yes, S'Toran.  We should transport aboard.

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO: What do you make of this; we can just walk back in.....

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Good, Do you have any idea how we can get some of these people in the open air without being crushed?

CIV_Powers says:
%:: confused, remembering what happened to Liam Powers::

EO_Tekaro says:
@::chokes and coughs spasmodically::

Custer_Officer says:
::moves around the empty ME wondering if they are all safe::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Aye sir!  From what Toros says, we can actually land in the Shuttlebay.  ::pilots toward the doors::

CO_Tyler says:
%FCO:  Bring us into the shuttle bay.

SO_Storal says:
@MO: Trying to emit a phase variant to counteract the effect.

FCO_Turnbull says:
%COM: CEO: Let's land in the main bay and find out! 

Custer_Officer says:
::glides over to the console and looks at the readings of the core and smiles ::

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO: Agreed. :: maneuvers his shuttle craft inward so as to land more towards the right ::

TO_Evans says:
@XO: It will take some time, but we could try to rig some gravity generators, it would give them maybe fifty meters or so they can travel.

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Aye, Captain!  ::very wide grin::

CO_Tyler says:
%CIV:  Are you ok?  You look lost in thought.

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: Just puzzled

FCO_Turnbull says:
%::mirrors CEO's shuttle and moves to the left::

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: How's it coming?

CSO_Telik says:
@::looks at EO:: EO: Are you choking?

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: And where do we find the generators big enough?

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO/CO: Don't get out yet! I must scan the immediate area and check for Life Support. :: taps at his consoles activating internal and external sensors to detect the Oxygen levels ::

SO_Storal says:
@MO: nothing yet

CMO_Quest says:
@*CSO*: How are you guys doing over there?

FCO_Turnbull says:
%COM: CEO: Acknowledged.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::raises eyebrow like, what do you think? Continues to cough::

CSO_Telik says:
@*CMO* Standby...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The CEO detects a breathable atmosphere in the area around the shuttles.

CMO_Quest says:
@*CSO*: Standing by....

TO_Evans says:
@XO: The escape pods should have environmental suits sir?

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: if worse comes to worse, we can trade off our belts with the crew, but only in extreme cases

CO_Tyler says:
%FCO: This all seems unreal.

SO_Storal says:
@CMO/MO: Got it , this should work. ::initiates the field::

CEO_Toros says:
%:: works his console and brings up a final reading :: COM: FCO: We're clear, opening hatch now, Arm yourselves just in case we have some un-invited guests 

CSO_Telik says:
@::moves behind the EO and gets ready to do the Heimlich::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%COM: CEO: I'm trying to remotely close the bay doors.

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Yes sir, but lets hope it doesn't come to that.

CMO_Quest says:
@SO: what are you doing?

CO_Tyler says:
%::smiles:: CIV:  I understand how you feel.

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: Something isn't right

EO_Tekaro says:
@::Stops choking, something pops out, and is in his mouth::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Aye, Sir, it does.  ::arms himself with a phaser rifle::

CO_Tyler says:
%CIV:  What do you mean?

MO_Naegle says:
@::hurries up to SO and CMO::

CEO_Toros says:
%COM: FCO: Acknowledged. :: opens his hatch and steps out with a phaser in one hand and a tricorder in the other ::

SO_Storal says:
@CMO: the tricorder will emit a field that will counteract the effects of the phase problem

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Agreed. ::reaches the next pod and pounds on the hatch, waiting for an answer from the crew inside::

FCO_Turnbull says:
%CO:  Sir, I recommend you stay here for the moment.

CSO_Telik says:
@::reaches into EO's mouth to remover the lodged object::

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: The ship did not blow up and the bay doors are open

CMO_Quest says:
@SO: I see....

CEO_Toros says:
:: Walks up to the other shuttle craft a few feet away and bangs at the doors :: FCO: let's go!

TO_Evans says:
@::Checks in with the security teams.::

CO_Tyler says:
%::nods:: FCO/CEO:  Be careful.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::sees it, a piece of phaser, quite familiar:: CSO: where'd that come from....

CSO_Telik says:
@EO: How did this get in here? ::looks at a piece of plastic::

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: How long will it take before we notice the effects?

FCO_Turnbull says:
%::Transports to 2.5 meters outside the shuttle::

SO_Storal says:
@*CO*: Ma’am, the modifications to the tricorder is done.

CEO_Toros says:
:: nods :: *CO*: Yes ma'am, Lock your hatch and arm yourselves, We'll keep an open Com link.

SO_Storal says:
@MO: should be feeling the effects lighten up soon.

FCO_Turnbull says:
::materializes in main bay:: CEO:  What do you think?  ::begins scanning with tricorder::

CO_Tyler says:
%CIV:  True, but there has to be a logical cause for all of this.

XO_Valrek says:
@*SO*: Any ideas on the gravity problem?

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: Can hardly wait!

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: must be

CSO_Telik says:
@*CMO* Status is good here. We could use medical assistance though for EO's condition.

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to FCO startled :: FCO: You shouldn't use your recourses to transport when you could have just walked out ... :: smiles ::

SO_Storal says:
@*XO*: No sir.

Custer_Officer says:
::glides around ME watching all the consoles and making sure readings are up to par;:

FCO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Better safe than sorry.

CMO_Quest says:
@*CSO*: stand by.

CO_Tyler says:
%::looks out, thinks I hope so::

CIV_Powers says:
%::grabs phaser rifle and aims and the door with adrenalin running through his body::

CEO_Toros says:
FCO: Agreed, This way… :: starts walking out of the Shuttle bay Slowly and out into the corridor::

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: looks at MO :: MO: well, one of use has to beam over there....... and help them.

FCO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  we should check ME then the bridge.

EO_Tekaro says:
@CSO: oh my god, I look terrible ... I need serious help...

MO_Naegle says:
@CMO: Well you've got the anti-grav belt, and the severe claustrophobia.

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: brush her hand against something, her belt ::

CSO_Telik says:
@::moves to transporter control and prepares to beam the CMO over::

CMO_Quest says:
@MO: you're right... I never took it off.

CO_Tyler says:
%*XO* Have you located the CSO yet?

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: Takes it off and gives it to the MO :: MO: Here... maybe you can use it....

CSO_Telik says:
@*CMO* Locking on.

CMO_Quest says:
@*CSO*: Anytime.

CSO_Telik says:
@::begins transport::

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Sir, teams report contact with all pods.

XO_Valrek says:
@*CO* So far all of the pods on the surface are in excellent condition as are their occupants. I am at the last pod now

FCO_Turnbull says:
:: watches the door open:: CEO:  After you.

MO_Naegle says:
@CMO: You keep it you might need it.

CSO_Telik says:
@*CMO*: Energizing.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::looks at titanium arm:: Self: Oh my ... am I a robot?

TO_Evans says:
@XO: They request orders?

CEO_Toros says:
:: nods and walks out into the corridor ::

CMO_Quest says:
@:: dematerializes from her pod, and rematerialize in the CSO's pod ::

CSO_Telik says:
@::watches the CMO materialize.

CMO_Quest says:
@ CSO: What's the problem?

CO_Tyler says:
%::feels relieved:: *XO* Excellent, thank you commander.

CEO_Toros says:
FCO: Don't you find this just a bit eery? :: walks towards a turbolift ::

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: looks at the EO :: CSO: Never mind....

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Have a group of 3 guard the perimeter and make sure all pods stay in communication with each other.

CSO_Telik says:
@CMO: See for yourself! ::points to the EO::

CO_Tyler says:
%CIV:  That's one bit of good news.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::pain racks body again, and falls back on the floor::

FCO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Doors work...let's try for the Turbo lifts.  ::walks toward TL::  Not really.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the group on the Apache moves through the ship, the interior lights up in each section as they move through it...

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: goes to one of the cupboards, and takes out an emergency medical kit ::

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: Yeah, it's about time we had some

CSO_Telik says:
@::moves to the main control console to try and determine their position::

CEO_Toros says:
FCO: I think so, We nearly blew out our core and now the ship is giving us a night light maneuver...

FCO_Turnbull says:
::taps communicator:: CO:  We are proceeding to ME.  CEO:  Now that’s eerie.

XO_Valrek says:
@::pounds on the pod next to them....it contains the CSO::

CEO_Toros says:
:: taps at the TL console :: FCO: I would say so ...

Custer_Officer says:
::Moves toward the console and removes the seal around ME and opens the doors , moving toward them::

CO_Tyler says:
%::nods:: *FCO* Understood.

FCO_Turnbull says:
::enters TL::  TL:  Main Engineering.

EO_Tekaro says:
@Aloud: ahhhggggggrrrrrhhhh.....::holds face in hands::

CEO_Toros says:
:: enters TL after FCO ::

CMO_Quest says:
@CSO: Is it just you and the EO? :: injects hypospray to the EO to lessen pain ::

SO_Storal says:
@*CO*: Ma’am I may have figured out a way to fix the gravity problem.

TO_Evans says:
@::Checks tricorder for any new readings::

CSO_Telik says:
@::hears pounding on the sidewall::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::rides TL in silence, and steps out as it stops in ME::

XO_Valrek says:
@CSO: Is everyone ok inside?

EO_Tekaro says:
@::feels numb, but that’s great:: CMO: Thank you....::shuts eyes in exhaustion::

CMO_Quest says:
@EO: Wow... what did you do to yourself?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As they step into Main Engineering they see the Custer Officer as an essence, or cloud, moving around Main Engineering.

CMO_Quest says:
@:: shakes head ::

CSO_Telik says:
@CMO: and these two unconscious officers over there. They must have been knocked out in the landing.

CMO_Quest says:
@CSO: Thank you.

Custer_Officer says:
::stops and looks at the officers as they enter ME::

CEO_Toros says:
:: follows the FCO all the while taking readings :: FCO: look! :: points his phaser at the cloud :: Cloud: Halt!

CO_Tyler says:
%*SO*: Excellent.  Put that into action then work on recovering the survivors from the Custer.

CSO_Telik says:
@::hears the XO's voice outside::

FCO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Look!  ::points::  Custer Officer:  Who are you?

CMO_Quest says:
@EO: you're going to need major reconstructive surgery.... Hmm, and I don't have what I need here....

EO_Tekaro says:
@CMO: Making a mistake cost me my skin ... and now, well...

CSO_Telik says:
@*XO*: Cmdr.?

Custer_Officer says:
::speaks to them;: 

SO_Storal says:
@*CO*: Aye sir

SO_Storal says:
@MO: Can you assist me, please?

Custer_Officer says:
CEO/FCO: I am science officer Samantha Solomon

XO_Valrek says:
@*CSO* How is your shuttle's systems?

CEO_Toros says:
FCO: I see I see... :: lowers his arm :: Officer: You're the Custer Officer that was beamed up from the planet ...... Aren't you?

EO_Tekaro says:
@::is absolutely exhausted, shuts eyes::

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: Yes sir, what do you need?

CMO_Quest says:
@Self: well, now I'll just have to improvise....

CSO_Telik says:
@*XO* All systems are low on power but holding.

TO_Evans says:
@TO: Surveys the landing area for a good operations center::

FCO_Turnbull says:
::inches closer to the apparition::  Custer Officer:  Did you stop the Core breach?

CMO_Quest says:
@:: looks at EO :: self: rest is good.....

EO_Tekaro says:
@CMO: ...and now probably my career

CSO_Telik says:
@*XO*: We are ok though.

Custer_Officer says:
FCO/CEO: Yes sir ... I am … and I thank you for coming to our rescue.

Custer_Officer says:
FCO: did you find the others?

SO_Storal says:
@::Begins to modify the range of the gravity field:: MO: I’m gonna try and increase the range of the Artificial gravity ,by using the pods sensors.

CEO_Toros says:
:: looks to the FCO then to the Samantha observing and logging on his tricorder every second of the occurrences ::

XO_Valrek says:
@*CSO*: Very good. Keep power consumption low so that life support will last longer

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: What can I do to help?

CO_Tyler says:
%::stands:: CIV:  I can't sit here any longer, let's go.

XO_Valrek says:
@*CSO*: Is everyone inside in good health?

SO_Storal says:
@MO: Morale support. ::smiles::

CEO_Toros says:
FCO: I think it's time to tell the captain what's going on ... *CO* Captain, Toros here, we've reached Main Engineering and found our ... well ... savior...

CSO_Telik says:
@*XO*: Aye sir that was the plan. Yes everyone is fine for now. EO is in critical but the doctor has him stable for now.

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: shakes head :: EO: I have no idea how you survived this long in this condition... :: begins medical procedure to deal with the EO's problem ::

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: We must be on the same wavelength.

MO_Naegle says:
@SO: You got it, Storal!

SO_Storal says:
@*CO*: Ma’am its working I can increase the field.

CIV_Powers says:
%::stands up::

Custer_Officer says:
::watches them for a moment::

FCO_Turnbull says:
Custer Officer:  What others, the others from the USS Custer?

Custer_Officer says:
FCO: Why yes, of course.

SO_Storal says:
@::initiates gravity field::

CMO_Quest says:
@Self: plasma burns ... ouch.

EO_Tekaro says:
@::raises bionic arm to doctor:: CMO: Thanks to my inserts....

CMO_Quest says:
@EO: relax please... don't move.

FCO_Turnbull says:
Custer Officer:  Not yet, but we are still looking.

CEO_Toros says:
Custer Officer: Ms. Solomon,  how did you stop the Warp Core from destroying the ship?

Custer_Officer says:
::looks around:: CEO: I’m ... not … sure...

CIV_Powers says:
%CO: are we leaving?

FCO_Turnbull says:
Custer Officer:  Is the ship out of danger?

CO_Tyler says:
::steps off the shuttle into the main shuttle bay:: *SO*:  Very well, understood.    *CEO*: Our savior?

XO_Valrek says:
@TO: Assemble your team for the night

Custer_Officer says:
FCO: According to the readings yes ... the ship is out of danger

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: takes the dermal regenerator, laser scalpel, and a screw driver out of the medical kit ::

FCO_Turnbull says:
*CO*:  It's ... complicated sir, I can explain later.

CEO_Toros says:
Custer Officer/FCO: Hang on, I think I know what’s ... Going on ... :: runs to a console and begins mimicking the "treatment" CSO Storal used in ME ::

CIV_Powers says:
::follows captain::  CO: where first?

CO_Tyler says:
CIV:  Yes Mr. Powers, unless you wish to remain here.

SO_Storal says:
@*XO*: Sir, the gravity field has increased around the pods, I can talk you through a similar procedure.

TO_Evans says:
@XO: Aye sir. Security team: Assemble on my signal for the night.

CSO_Telik says:
@CMO: Need some help? ::fiendish grin::

Custer_Officer says:
::Looks at the officers curiously:: 

CO_Tyler says:
CIV:  Main Engineering, I'm curious as to what S'Toran and Toros have found.

CMO_Quest says:
@ :: looks at CSO :: CSO: know anything about medicine?

FCO_Turnbull says:
::raises Eyebrow, seeing where CEO is going::  CEO:  I follow!  ::begins to aid the CEO::

EO_Tekaro says:
@::laughs to himself:: Self: She has the right idea

CIV_Powers says:
CO: I'm with you

Custer_Officer says:
FCO/TEO: I’m sorry if I interfered...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Custer Officer stops for a moment and appears to concentrate hard for a moment ... a wave of energy passing out of her as the M/ARC column glows bright ... power begins to pass through systems again and the Apache slowly powers up.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Thanks to the attempts of the SO and the others on the surface, Gravity fields from the Pods and Shuttles on the surface have managed to be extended so that the crew can begin to leave their escape pods.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sadly, though, the effort of the FCO and CEO to use the CSO and SO’s “treatment” to help the Custer Officer has no appreciable effect.
