Captain's Log 10904.26
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Thanks to the CEO finding the shutdown codes we have stopped these nanites that were infesting Cmdr Exeter. The Doctor is still working on him in sick bay and has indicated that he will pull through it will take some time before he is ready for duty.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
We are still covering the sensor hole while the crew goes over the ship to make sure that all the nanites are cleared from the ship.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Escort Mission XVIII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::In her office going over the Forerunner database looking for any power signatures or other ways she might be able to locate the nanites on sensors::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: on Bridge going over reports coming in::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As Exeter gets rebuild he starts dreaming.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Okay Jeddi, let's start with the muscle replacement.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: Captain, I was thinking. You might want to have OPS broadcast that shutdown code at the wreckage and send it to all the other ships in the area just in case they need it. Best to shut all these buggers down if we can before they get up to any more mischief.
Jeddi says:
:: Nodding he pulls the tray with the specialized instruments for just this purpose, closer to the table.::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>: CTO: Exeter, heh, I haven't heard that name in months.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: And you are?:
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up a ship on Long Range, Federation Tug Boat.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: I have already sent the rest of the ships in the area the shutdown code  and will have OPS  transmit the code at the wreckage.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::takes the next tool, allows himself to sigh in tiredness before moving on to the next phase of the extensive surgery::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Pulls into the light, dark cloak hangs over his head:: CTO: You don't have to know who I am.  All you need to know is that I know you.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: Thanks Sir. I'm looking over the database now to see if I can find a way to locate these little critters. All the diagnostics came back clean. All systems are in good shape.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Restless and yet exhausted, she rolls over in bed, her conscience in that twilight state of neither being awake or asleep.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<Duty SO> CO: Captain we have picked up a Federation Tug on LRS.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Good for you now make a sentence with these words and follow its advice "weirdo, off, you, sodd"
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the SO:: OPS: Hail them.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Laughs:: CTO: You know where you are?
Jeddi says:
:: Quietly works, asks a nurse for a tissue regenerator.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<Duty OPS> CO: Aye Captain :: hails the Tug::
Host SM_Sam says:
#<Federation Tug Nelly>: COM: Arondight: Arondight this is the Federation Tug Nelly.  I have parts for a new sensor pod that needs to be assembled would that be you folks?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Chief you can tie the vid screen into the sensors as well to check for these for now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: No, but in some weird 21st century lousy film  plotline you are bound to tell me. And then I'll have to be shocked and stuff, because I'm dead or something or in a turning point in my life.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Bla, bla, bla, been there and done that.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Nelly: I believe so  I will have an engineering crew ready for you when you arrive.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Laughs even harder:: CTO: You think this is some cheesy movie?  Here let me show you that this is nothing of that sort.  ::Waves his hand::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::opens up the CTO’s leg::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: Exeter is transported to a dark room.
Jeddi says:
:: Steps back to view the damage::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: scratches his leg and being anything but amazed:: Dark figure: OH great you have a transporter.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
Jeddi: You know visually, it doesn't look too different to normal, but see here ::points with his tool::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I have another project for you.

Host SM_Sam says:
#<Federation Tug Nelly>: COM: Arondight: Very well our ETA is 2 hours.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: That is an option Captain, but I think everyone in my department would go blind or retire before we could look over the ship on a microscopic level on every system. However, I have located a power signature in the database that will allow us to track them. I'm having my folks scan the ship now. I'll send you up the details on the signature.
Jeddi says:
:: nods::  CMO:  And here... points to a section in the calf muscle::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: Do you know where you are?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Sends the details on the power signature up to the Conn::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: So what are you a bad digested piece of food or some vain attempt of my Charles Dickens pestering  my mind
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Nelly: Roger  will talk to you then McDuggle out. :: nods to OPS to close the COM::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: New project Sir?
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: Trust me you aren't going back in time or anything like that.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: subconsciously unable to let things go, her mind dreams of being in medical with Oday and Jeddi.  She is looking down at the inside of man's leg::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: Exeter you are dead.  D-E-A-D.  So I am here to collect your soul and take it some place that fits you.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Yes in a couple of hours there will be new parts here to construct a new sensor station. I need you to get a construction crew ready for them.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: OH great, I'm dead and the grim reaper has come........... next I'll see Satan and will hear those famous words "I'm sorry, the Jews where right." I'll thank my mom later I never wanted to be a Christian
Jeddi says:
CMO:  I will start here.  :: reaches for Cytoplasm stimulator::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: Yes Sir. I'll get one of my teams from Gamma ready, and I'll have them look over the tech specs in the meantime so they can get right to it when the parts get here.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Aye Chief I knew you were up to it.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. If there you didn't have anything else I'm due for some chow and some rack time. We've been going a long time now.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger Chief sweet dreams.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Reaches for his shoulder:: CTO: Fine.  Let me see, here.  ::Pulls out a book and starts sifting through the pages.:: Hm... Ah here it is, John A. Exeter.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ ::looks ate the book:: Dark figure: Gee, 24th century, but death hasn't upgraded at all. It's a miracle people die at all isn't it.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
EO_Smith: Smithy, the deck is yours. I've done enough damage for one day. See you in the morning. ::wanders out of Engineering heading for the TL::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
<EO_Smith> CEO: Roger that Chief, take it light.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: goes to the replicator and gets some coffee::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Starts reading:: CTO: Hm... Let's see here you are 39 Years old, never married. ::Chuckles:: Thank god. ::Reads on:: Hm.. wait a second.  Let me get this straight you think you aren't dead yet?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Takes the TL to Sickbay to look in on things::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Yes, do. ::looks up at him::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Depends I've been dead inside for years..........and should have died oh a bunch of times over the years.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Walks into Sickbay and goes to the observation window of the operating theatre and taps on it:: CMO: How's it going in there Doc?
Jeddi says:
:: quickly looses himself in  his work::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Deducting from what I remember I was in sickbay and so right now in limbo battling with my own subconscious in staying a live of not.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: According to my death book, you live another 20 years before getting maimed and killed by some sort of MS?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: decides to head to sick bay to see how the Doctor is progressing:: Duty SO: You have the Bridge I will be back before the Tug arrives. :: heads for the TL::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::turns at the sound of the CEO, tiredness easily seen in his face:: CEO: It's a long process, but it's going okay so far.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Holds up a PADD:: CMO: I found a power signature that will help us locate and track the buggers. Will that be helpful?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Sure I do. Now do we just throw around some witty banter and I wake up and see you in 20 years scared witless
 Jeddi says:
:: Her field of view shifts to see the tired face of the CEO.  In many ways, medical and engineering were similar.  But lately, the CEO had been putting in a lot of hours on the ship which thankfully medical did not need to... until now.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::moves away from the patient and to the window:: CEO: At this stage, I think we have them all. It's just physical repairs at the moment. When we're done though, I'd like to use that info to scan him to check.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: arrives in sick bay and looks over to where the Doctor and Jeddi are working::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::looks down at the ground, then rubs his eyes::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: I'll leave this PADD with one of your nurses out here then. I was on my way to my rack and thought I'd check in to see how things were going. All the ships systems are good, and I have folks tracking down any stray nanites.

Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: Witty banter, nah...  ::Nods to the darkness:: Why don't we get this over now.
Jeddi says:
:: Reaches for the tissue mitigator::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::looks back up at the CEO, takes a second pause:: CEO: Thanks... I'll keep you informed on how he is. He'll need a lot of recuperation time after, so remember me when you get some spare time to take him off my hands for a while before I wish I hadn't done this surgery.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: Shadows converge on Exeter.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the CEO in sick bay:: CEO: Hey Chief I thought you were heading for the mess hall?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: Great, well see you in 20 years.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Hands the PADD to one of the nurses, explaining what is on it and why the CMO may need it later::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Thought I'd stop in here to check on our CTO and give the Doc the latest findings on my research Sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Good work and how is he doing?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::turns back to Exeter and looks at Jeddi, pausing again::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure: I wonder what the mess hall is serving today.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Doc says things are slow but progressing Captain. He seems to be on top of things.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The shadows snarl as sharp claws are seen.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Very good then I won't bother him. Would you like some company with you meal?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: Since when do I ever get spare time Doc? ::chuckles and heads for the doors of Sickbay, going to the TL once more:: CO: Certainly Sir, if you like.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: raises an eyebrow:: Self: Not this again............. I have to do the bloody work while some doctor is taking his time.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::pauses as he sees an image of a blurry bulkhead, and a green plant of some kind down on the ground::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: Takes  a fighting stance and rolls his neck:: Self: Probably hitting a few holes of golf or playing spring ball or something like that.
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: One of the shadows claws at Exeter leaving marks on his chest.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Jeddi's familiar face, lost in his work, appears.  She smiles briefly and then feels a slight dizzy sensation.  With a groan, rolls back over in her bed, tugging the blanket with her.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::grunts and punches at the shadow::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The punch completely misses, as you can't punch shadows... duh..
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: gets up and grunts again:: Self: I need a light bulb or something like that
Jeddi says:
CMO:  I believe we are done here... ready to close up the leg?
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: Another shadows snarls and swipes at Exeter tearing up his back.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
Jeddi: Yes, I believe so. I think I'm getting tired. I'd like to finish this up.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::"Drops to his knees:: Self: I'm not liking this at all.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: gets up again:: Self: Same old same old.. death cheats again!
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Monitors in sickbay reads elevated heart beats
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Waits for the TL to arrive before taking it to the lounge::
Jeddi says:
:: looks up and nods before turning to ask for the auto suture from the nurse::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: follows the CEO into the TL::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>: CTO: Don't struggle, just let it naturally happen.  Death is not that bad.
Jeddi says:
:: Slowly and carefully reseals the open cut.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: That tug must really have pushed it to get here that fast with those sensor parts Sir, we haven't been out here that long.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: You said something about finding a power signature for these nanites?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ Dark figure: Yeah......... I'm human.............. I don't do the giving up thing. Go find a Ferengi  to pester.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir, I looked in the Forerunner database and found a power signature the nanites have that can be used to track them. I sent a copy to OPS and left one with the Doc in case he needed it also.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO:  I have a feeling that Admiral Winters was able to pull a few strings in order to get the part here this fast.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Increased heart rate, cause unknown.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Looks at his watch:: CTO: I got 10 minutes, then I got to go and get this guy named Brendan.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Very good I will have him send that information to the rest of the fleet as well.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::shakes off the strange feeling he had as just tiredness and carries on::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: It couldn't hurt Captain, you never know when or where these buggers might pop up next.
Jeddi says:
:: Putting the instrument aside::  CMO:  The leg is done.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ Dark figure:  Well................ I’ll still be standing in 10 minutes so you better cancel your appointment. This Brendan fellow probably has better stuff to do.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: I can't be sure whether or not this is the same ship that we encounter the first time or not  so there very well could be another ship out there as well.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Evil laugh:: CTO: I wouldn't bet on it.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: That was quicker than I thought. Let's move on to the left leg. You need a break, or are you good to continue?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Gets off the TL and walks into the lounge and over to the replicator:: Computer: One large rib eye beefsteak, a baked potato with sour cream, green beans, and a dinner roll, and a large glass of sweet iced tea.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ Dark figure: You should really work on that laugh of yours........... I heard Klingons do it better
Jeddi says:
CMO:  I am good.  :: nods toward the left leg::  Scans show the damage there to be more extensive.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: exits the TL as it arrives at the lounge::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: There very well could be more ships out there Sir, we have no idea how long these things have been on their own yet. Could be decades or even centuries.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark  figure: Now let's even out the odds.............. You hand me a flashlight and we'll see what happens to your shadows.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Grabs her chow and finds a table to sit at and begins eating happily::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: With a strong sense of Oday in her dream state, she imagines a kiss from him.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: orders a hot roast beef sandwich and mashed potatoes along with a cup of coffee:: CEO: I just realized how long it has been since I’ve ate anything.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: I think this one will take longer ... ::pauses again as if feeling something on his lips::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Laughs again, then in a stern voice:: Shadows: Finish him.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Time flies when you are in a constant state of stress and panic Sir. ::chuckles and goes back to eating::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@Dark figure........ figures you have other people finishing your dirty work
Jeddi says:
:: Looks up::  CMO:  You Ok Doc?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::puts his hand to his lip, not touching it:: Jeddi: Okay let's do this. ::moves in to the leg::
Jeddi says:
:: Nods and hands him the exoscalpel::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sits down with the CEO and starts eating as well:: CO: I guess so :: chuckles and takes another bite::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: More shadows converge on Exeter
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: I have teams checking the ship for any stray nanites, but all the diagnostics came back negative, and all the ship systems are online.
Jeddi says:
:: glances over at the screen::

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: tries to move away from the shadows:: Self: I hate these dreams..... but a few more minutes till I wake up so I have to keep standing.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger and who do you have in charge of the construction crew?
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The shadows strike and collapse on Exeter, causing him to fall on the ground.  One of them rip a gaping hole in his leg.
Jeddi says:
:: Frowns:: hmmm... CMO:  Hey doc, are you sure the nanites were all removed and shut down?  His brain activity is rather high for someone being under.  :: more to himself:: His endorphins are high, but that could be normal.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ALL: Arrrrrrrrrgh ::starts swinging punches left and right::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: I assigned the job to Jones and Saval, they both have good electrical engineering skills. They are looking over the tech specs now so they can get right to it when the parts arrive.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The monitors on Exeter, begin to fly off the charts.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Very good then when you get done here try and get a good 8 hours of sleep I will not call on you unless you are desperately needed.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: Fighting just for the heck of it::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::turns to the monitor:: MO: What's going on? There were no nanites left... ::taps his badge:: *MO*: Nurse Barek, get me that info from the CEO on the double!
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: A strong sense of anger and terror rush through her and she sits up in bed with a gasp.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir, and I'd recommend you do the same. We've all been going pretty hard the last few days.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: I will later the XO need her sleep at the moment and with Exeter still in sick bay we have to take up the slack.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Taking a few deep breaths, she waits for the beat of her heart to settle down.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: All right Sir.
Jeddi says:
:: steps up and adjusts the delta wave inducer to a deeper sleep::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: finishes his meal and gets up:: CEO: Well see you later and sweet dreams. :: heads for the TL::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Thank you Captain.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter's brain waves die down as the monitors go back to normal.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: What the? ::scans his brain again::
Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The shadows begin to disappear one by one.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Rubbing her eyes, she takes a look at the chronometer.  It is still very early in the morning.  Lying back in bed, she closes her eyes, going through the process of relaxing her body with the hope the mind would follow.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::gets up:: Dark figure: Told you I would be standing up again.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::gets the info from the CEO and scans the CTO for remaining nanites::
Jeddi says:
CMO:  I don't know doc.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>::Shakes his head then perks up his head as someone is talking to him:: CTO: Meh, you are lucky this time.  Make sure we don't meet again.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: exits the TL back on the Bridge::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@ Dark figure: Till round three, last time you where tougher.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Soon her mind also finally relaxes, but for the image of one face which she carries deeper into sleep.::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Dark Figure>CTO: The next time we meet John Exeter, You will be dead! ::Evil laugh then disappears::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::shakes his head:: Self: Worst actor ever......... I gotta see a shrink one of these days or quit on those cheap thrillers
