Captain's Log 10812.07:
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
We are currently withdrawing to effect repairs and to reassess our plan of attack. We have succeeded in capturing one of the Furies and am trying to see if we can get any information from him.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log.
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The Furies VII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::In one of the weapons bays working on repairing the burnt-out phaser arrays::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: In the brig, standing next to the CMO as they go over the physiology of the Fury they have captured.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: stands facing the Furies in the brig::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Shakes her head::  CMO:  There is little more here.  :: very slowly:: You want to take one of the 'dolls'?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Furies: I want you to understand that we really don't want to destroy you but at the moment you are not offering us any other choice.
CMO_Redwood says:
::pauses a second to consider the proposal:: XO: We don't know how taking the doll will effect the Fury... If it is essential to their living, I want to be ready to return it.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: As they appear strictly memory and not attached to the involuntary nervous system, we should be alright.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Checks in with her other teams to get updates on progress as she pulls out one of the burned-out emitters and starts cleaning the contacts before installing a new one::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up and over at the Fury.::  CMO:  Sooo... you want the honor of reaching into the pouch and taking out a doll?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies just sits there.  Staring blankly at the force field
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: turns to the XO and CMO:: XO: Have you had any luck finding  a telepath on the ship?
CMO_Redwood says:
::keeps his eye on the Fury:: XO: I'll do it. ::steps up to the force field:: Just please have a phaser ready. ::nods to the security guard to be ready as well::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I am a telepath...
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I want to stun him, nothing more. Just enough so we can retrieve the doll.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Hold on Doc
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Nods to the CMO, getting the Security team ready::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We have been looking more into taking one of those 'dolls'.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: And have you had any luck in trying to link with one of those dolls?
CMO_Redwood says:
::waits for the CO and XO to discuss the situation::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: First we would like to remove one from them.  :: nods her head towards the CMO::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Cmdr, I would like to be able to see if we can find some way to communicate with them before we start disassembling them.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: The 'dolls' simply lie in a pouch... think of the dolls like a memory chip.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Captain, this may help us discover how to do just that.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> *CO*: Bridge to Captain. Updating you on the Tactical situation Sir. Furies are still in pursuit of the fleet, but we are maintaining a 30 minute lead for now. Still just one enemy ship on the scope. Fleet remains in formation and continues repairs.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO/ CMO: Ok then let’s try that however maybe we can just transport the doll out here and not endanger the Poor Doc here.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I will not argue that one.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*TO_Gunn*: Roger keep me informed.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> *CO*: Aye-aye Sir, anything changes you'll hear it first.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::nods to Cuff to try and transport the doll to where they are at::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Moves to a console and attempts to transport one of the memory dolls out of the cell::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> CO: Sorry Captain, for some reason the transporter can't seem to lock onto the doll in the pouch. I can't explain it Sir, but I'm not an Engineer or Science person.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: standing off to the side waits::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO_Cuffs: That is fine it was worth a try.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: looks at the captain with a slight frown::  CO: It would appear we will have to do this manually.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Okay, I'd like to try and take it then.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Resumes her position::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO/ XO: Well I guess we have to do this the hard way :: nods to the security team::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::Moves into position to cover the Fury::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO_ Cuffs: Cut the shield on the doctor’s mark.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: stays clear::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> CO: Ready Sir.
CMO_Redwood says:
::makes sure he is ready then nods to the TO without turning completely to face him so he can keep the Fury in sight::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Drops the force field and readies to put it back up as soon as it is needed::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::Moves into the cell ahead of the CMO, moving to the corners to get clear shots if needed, phasers on Max Stun::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies gets up and storms at door and knocks down the security team in one swing.  The security team falls down like pins in a bowling alley.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Opens fire on the Fury with max stun phaser::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps back toward the console and erects a shield keeping them from leaving the security area.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: pulls phaser and fires on max stun as well::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies is hit, but is still up and storms towards the doctor.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: fires again::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies is sluggish as he stumbles in front of the Doctor.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::Gets up and attempts to add their fire at the creature as well::
CMO_Redwood says:
::decides a more hands-on approach is needed and starts storming towards the Fury, and reaches for the doll in the pouch as he dives in::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quickly searches for the command to erect a field between the doc and Fury.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> XO: Sir, if you raise that shield you'll trap my people in there with it.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Doc captures the doll in a forward summersault.  He makes it look easy, and has the Doll in his hand
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: finding what she wants she looks up as the doctor makes his dive and freezes.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::Continues to fire at the creature::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: With a brief glare at the CMO she erects the force field around the Fury.::
CMO_Redwood says:
::waits to see what happens to the Fury now he is without his doll, and then edges away::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Cuffs: Erect a force field around that thing now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> CO: XO got it Sir. Security: OK people, out of there now!
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies is motionless as his body is encased in a force field.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::Leaves the cell quickly::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Her hands shaking a bit, she sighs as she steps away from the console and makes her way toward the CMO::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Cuffs: Once everyone is clear bring the cell shield back up and release the force field around our guest.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::puts the cell force field back up and attempts to beam the Fury back into it::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> CO: Working on it Captain.
CMO_Redwood says:
::moves to the XO, doll in hand:: XO: Let's get started, shall we? ::opens a tricorder::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Moves on to work on the next damaged emitter::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lightly takes his arm and guides him out the brig.::  CMO:  You and I should have a discussion on keeping one safe.  :: looks down at the doll::  Science lab one is waiting for us.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: watches to see what happens to the Furies once he is free in his cell::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies is beamed to the back of the cage, as it is motionless as the main brig force field goes up
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks at the XO, covering his slight shaking:: XO: When he went for me, I didn't really have much choice.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security Team> ::resumes their posts::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Sure you did... staying away.  :: sigh and stops to turn around, looking back at the captain::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doc I want you to maintain a complete medical scan on the Furies and at the first sign of any thing that will endanger him because of his doll being removed
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We will get to this right away and let you know what we find.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies ship increase speed.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I will  be on the Bridge. :: heads for the TL::
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Of course, Sir, I wouldn't have it any other way. ::tells the computer to inform him of any medical changes to the Fury::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> *CO*: Bridge to Captain, the enemy ship has increased speed Sir. If the fleet maintains current speed they will intercept us in 10 minutes.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: With the CMO, heads for the nearest lift and orders it to science lab one.::

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*TO_ Gunn* : Roger have the fleet increase speed for t he moment and keep me informed I am on my way.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> *CO*: Aye Sir.
CMO_Redwood says:
::feels awkward in the cliché elevator silence and has to break it:: XO: Are you okay?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* Cmdr we need answers fast the Furies ship has just increased speed and it trying to over take us.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Reaches up to rub her eyes::  *CO*:  Aye, captain.  Given what we just did, that makes one consider the possibility they have some kind of connection with each other.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at the doctor::  CMO:  You scared me is all.  :: steps off the lift and heads for the lab a few doors down.::  Looks like we don't have much time.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: arrives on the bridge::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> All: Captain on the Bridge.
Jeddi says:
:: Looks up as the pair enter.::  CMO/XO: Everything is ready.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Start looking for some kind of nebula or asteroid belt that we may be able to hide in.
CMO_Redwood says:
Jeddi: Thank you. ::puts the doll down on the examining table, pondering over the answer he was given::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Captain, the fleet has increased to maximum warp, and we are maintaining our lead, for now. The Furies won't catch us until we need to slow down.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO_Gunn: That is why we need to find some place to hide and give the XO and CMO time to see if they can find anything that will help.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Sir. Engineering reports they can have most of the ship repaired in about an hour, but the phasers are still 3 hours from being repaired.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief we are going to push the engines pretty hard for a while so keep and eye on them.
CMO_Redwood says:
::does an initial scan:: XO: Doesn't look like anything special immediately... almost like a normal, well, doll.
Jeddi says:
:: Stepping closer to look at the object::  CMO:  That is it?  Looks like an old fashion teddy bear some child has had for many years.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye Captain, I'll put one of my Senior Chiefs on it.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO/Jeddi: Maybe it is a normal doll, and something possesses it. Maybe the Furies are a symbiotic species.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Chief hope we can find some place to hide shortly and keep form blowing them up.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: looks from one to the other::  CMO/Jeddi:  You two have just exited my field.  That made no sense to me.

CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Calls one of her Senior Chiefs and tells them to keep an eye on the engines as they are going at max warp::
Jeddi says:
:: opens his mouth and closes it.::  XO: Boss, I am going to send you a tape on voodoo.  It might help.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks into more scan results:: Jeddi: There! Tell me I saw brain patterns... and.. ::pauses a second:: What? The material inside looks almost...organic...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS_NoDuz: Try hailing the ship again. Let’s see if they are willing to talk yet.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye captain. :: tries to hail the Furies ship::
Jeddi says:
:: shifts his gaze to the readout, then steps closer to have it replay the last few minutes.::
CMO_Redwood says:
Jeddi/XO: Perhaps I was right... perhaps they are a symbiotic race.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps closer and looks down with a frown.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As Jeddi replays the scan, the monitor blips as it shows brain patterns.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Continues working on the phasers as fast as she can::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> ::Continues monitoring the Tactical sensors::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: slowly::  CMO:  You are saying these are... real?  This is similar to the Trill?
Jeddi says:
CMO: You defiantly have some kind of a brain pattern here.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: No response to the hail
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: If it is symbiotic, then we can't afford to keep them apart for long. The Trill... well I suppose it is similar in nature at its most basic level but it is still just an assumption.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: No response captain.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks from one to the other::  CMO/Jeddi:  If there is a brain pattern, then there should be life.  This also means I should be able to make a connection to it.
Jeddi says:
:: narrows his eyes as he looks from the 'doll' to La'i and frowns::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I hate to pull you from what you are doing but I need you to report to the bridge as soon as you can.
CMO_Redwood says:
::moves to the next display and instead brings up the latest life readings from the Brig::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies in the brig has normal life signs.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: feels a shudder slip through her and mutters more to herself::  All right... let me see what I can find out.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: On my way Captain, I'll get one of my teams to take this over.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Has one of her people take over and heads for the nearest turbo lift::

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: looks up at the two of them::  CMO/Jeddi:  It would help if you two stood just off to the side.  And you might want to be prepared for anything that might happen.
Jeddi says:
XO: Such as...?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shrugs::  Jeddi:  Your guess is as good as mine.
Jeddi says:
:: Looks at the CMO::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As the XO connects with the doll, she is bombarded with memories of many lifetimes.  It begins to overwhelm her.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Any luck on finding us a place to hide?
CMO_Redwood says:
::steps aside and continues looking at the scan results::
Jeddi says:
:: Noticing the trembling, steps over but does not touch her.::  XO:  La'i, break the connection... now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Exits the turbo lift and walks onto the Bridge::
Jeddi says:
CMO: Doc...
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: You called Sir?
CMO_Redwood says:
Jeddi: Damn it, why did she go ahead and do that, there was no need yet! ::steps over quickly::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Yes my ready room :: gets up and heads for the RR nodding to NoDuz as he leaves::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Focused only on what is before her::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Follows the CO::
Jeddi says:
CMO:  I did not realize she was going to start.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::move behind his desk:: CEO: Chief I have a plan that hopefully will work if we need it.
CMO_Redwood says:
Jeddi: Apparently neither did she... ::opens his medical tricorder and scans her::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I'm listening Captain.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Tears dampen her cheeks::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: I want you to construct and explosive that we can transport into the Furies ship's hull like we did the transport enhancers
Jeddi says:
:: Leans closer, firmly::  XO: La'i, let go... now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: As long as we burn holes in with the phasers like we did Sir, the tricobalt torpedoes should do the trick. As a bonus being inside the hull, it will make a bigger bang because the force of the explosion can't go anyplace.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: And when you get it set let the rest of the fleet know and have them construct one also.

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Reaching for the familiar voice, pulls out and stumbles backwards::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger and that is why the fleet will  need to work in pairs as well.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I'll let them know to get whatever tricobalt rounds they have left ready for transporter deployment Captain.
CMO_Redwood says:
Jeddi: She is okay. XO: As for scaring you, now we are even. ::manages a soft smile::
Jeddi says:
:: Grabs her and gently guides her over to a chair.::  XO:  Breath... I need you to take deep breaths.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger keep me informed.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir, I'll also pass on those phaser modifications that seemed to work for us, and let their Engineers know the results of the modifications so they can be ready to fix them.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Taking a few deep breaths to calm her, she looks up the CMO with great sorrow in her eyes.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
<her self>
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Leaves the Ready Room for her Bridge station::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Perhaps I was too soon to pass you off as okay... ::looks into her eyes:: La'i...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: After a moment she closes her eyes and leans forward to rest her head against her friend’s shoulder, unable to hide the tears.::
Jeddi says:
:: Wraps an arm around her and looks with concern up at the CMO::
