CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Chief Medical Officer's log supplemental. Our "visitor", one Lieutenant Epasce, has been fixed up to the best of my ability, and is currently in a light coma. I've fixed him up to an IV feed, given him a minimal stimulant dose to keep those vitals up, and pretty much done everything I could to keep him stable. He woke up once to mutter something, and promptly fell back into his comatose state. I'll be keeping a close watch on him until he does wake up, and I can only hope that it's soon.

CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::on the bridge at science one still looking over records::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Suddenly, and without warning, Captain Correz collapses to the floor, unconscious.
CIV_Turner says:
::checks on the auxilliary weapons systems::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::standing at the console next to Lieutenant Epasce's bed, he quietly taps at the controls, bringing up various readings and reports and his current condition::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::hears a slump and looks up. Taps her badge while rushing to the CO's side::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: Gomes to Kymar
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::notices the Captain is unconscious CO:Captain? ::louder CO: Captain? ::shakes her head::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CSO*: Kymar here. What's up, Commander?
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Captain does not wake up.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: Medical emergency. The Captain is unconscious. She simply fell. I suggest emergency site to site transport
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::stands at operations, looking as the captain falls to the floor::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at OPS::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::moves quickly over to the sickbay transporter controls and locks onto the Captain's signal:: *CSO*: Acknowledged, i've got a lock on her. Stand back unless you're coming too ::waits a few seconds before hitting the energize button::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::sees Gomes looking up and raises his eyebrow, as he quickly turns back to his console, acting as if all of a sudden he has a lot to do::
CIV_Turner says:
:;makes a slight adjustment to one of the phaser bank calibrators::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Captain is beamed to sickbay.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches as the Captain suddenly disappears:: OPS: I guess the doctor has his resources
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::gets up::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns and walks over to the biobed with the Captain's form on it, grabbing a tricorder and flipping it open before running a quick scan::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::shrugs:: CSO: That would be a fair guess, yes..
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*: Gomes to Turner. Keep an eye on tactical sensors. I have a bad feeling about this
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: If you can, keep me informed on the Captain's diagnosis and that of our "guest". Perhaps Turner can help you if he wakes up
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns at the tricorder readings and quickly picks up a hypospray, slamming a cartridge of adrenalin into the bottom and setting the dosage to 20cc's before administering it:: Self: Extra-ordinaryily low blood-sugar levels, no glucose in the system. She's probably been overworking, undersleeping and not eating ::shakes his head slowly::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::loads another cartridge of hyperglucogin, setting the dosage at 5cc's and injecting it into the Captain's neck:: Nurse: Get me another IV feed, move the Captain to one of the monitoring beds and hook her up to a hyperglucogin feed. 2ccs per hour.
CIV_Turner says:
*CSO*: On the way to the bridge. ::stands up after making the last adjustment and heads to the bridge::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Let me know if there is anything else out of the ordinary in the system
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::glances at the CSO as she keeps speaking to people:: CSO: Will do, Commander... ::looks back at his console::
CIV_Turner says:
::enters the bridge and heads for tactical::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods as the CIV enters::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::taps his commbadge and lets his nurses take over after checking the Captain's vitals:: *CSO*: Kymar to Gomes, the Captain is stable, but I doubt she'll be awake for a few days yet, and she'll need another few days of bed rest before she'll be back to full health. She's fine, but exhausted.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: Lets hope its just that. Nothing new on sensors. The system is quiet, too quiet
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::is still standing in the middle of the bridge, purposefully staying away from the centre chair::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CSO*: And what about probe telemetry, has anything come back on that yet?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: The wreckage is definately from the Aldura, given the hull signature. However they are too destroyed to give us any information as to what might have happened
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CSO*: No weapons emissions, subspace disturbances? ::frowns in thought as he looks over Lieutenant Epasce's vitals::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks up at OPS then at the CIV wondering if they have any new input::*CMO*: Nothing at this moment. Have you identified our guest?
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::frowns at his readings:: CSO: Commander... I'm reading another power spike in the mountain area, down on that planet
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Continue to track it
CIV_Turner says:
::looks at the CSO but keeps his thoughts to himself::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: We have just had another power spike, on the planet
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::nods, tracking the power surge::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Outside, the planet starts "glowing". An orange like mist appears, emanating from the caves, and encompassing the whole planet.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CSO*: One Lieutenant Epasce, Tactical Officer onboard the USS Wortin. ::stops as he hears about the power spike:: Can you pinpoint it's location and cause?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Can we scan that .... haze?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO* A mountain range. But something is happening in the planet's outer atmosphere. We are trying to understand what it is
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Gravimetric distortions appear all over this haze, buffeting the Artemis, and the Wortin as well.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::holds on to the helm console, not to fall::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO* I believe the planet is undergoing severe gravimetric distortions. I am pulling us out of orbit if you dont have any objections
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Grabs his console, wondering what is going on now:: CSO: What's that?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CSO*: Alright, Commander. Check it out, i'll finish up down here and get everything sorted before coming up for a look.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Whatever it is, is in those caves
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin is "swallowed" by the Haze, as it continues to grow, almost reaching the Artemis' position.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Pull us out of orbit
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: And be quick about it
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Scan that haze
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Find what you can about the caves
FCO_Flyitt says:
CSO : Aye ma'am.. ::engages the impulse engines to leave orbit, and move to a safe distance::
CIV_Turner says:
CSO: Scanning. I would go to yellow just to be safe Commander.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged Doctor. I believe I could use your assistance here
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the CIV::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::shakes head:: CSO: I'm trying the best I can... ::tapping his console like a mad man::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::smiles:: OPS: I know just what that feels like
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CSO*: I'll be there momentarily, Kymar out. ::sighs softly as he closes the comm, checking up on both the Lieutenant and the Captain before leaving Doctor Jones in charge:: Self: Again...::walks out of sickbay, heading into a Turbolift and ordering it to the bridge::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Meanwhile, the Artemis continues to rock from the distortions that come too close.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CMO*: I am also taking the liberty of putting us on yellow alert. I believe we are in a real danger situation ::goes to the Captains chair and signals yellow alert::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Suddenly, the haze starts shrinking again, back to the planet.
CIV_Turner says:
::watches as the yellow alert signal comes in and brings all tactical systems to yellow::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Hold our position here
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Any luck finding what that is?
FCO_Flyitt says:
::nods:: CSO: Aye.
CIV_Turner says:
CSO: Scan complete Commander and the results aren't good.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::braces himself against the wall as the ship rocks again, walking out of the TL and down to the command circle:: CSO: "Danger Situation" seems to be an understatement.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the CMO::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin "appears" as the haze shrinks back down towards the planet, and then disappears.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: The planet produced some sort of haze coming from the caves, which apparently was connected to severe gravimetric distortions
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Check the status of the Wortin when you can
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the orange mist dissipate and sighs:: CSO: What're the scientific readings on that stuff?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: Mr Turner was about to tell us
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::nods:: CSO: Still working, sir.. She's not showing up right now... ::keeps tapping the console at a very high pace::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns and looks up at the tactical station where he saw Vaughn::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns:: OPS: Acknowledged, just tell us when you have something
CIV_Turner says:
CMO/CSO: It looks like an anomaly similar to the Nexus that was encountered by some Starfleet ships in the past.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: I remember reading about it. But this one is not travelling through space, but emanating from the surfac? And apparently does not destroy vessels as the other did
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CIV: As in, the El Aurian Nexus thing? It's a stationary one of those?
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: As in that almost exactly. Not sure if it is stationary or just momentarily not in motion.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: We never quite understood the nature of the Nexus. Who created it and for what
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: Or how for that matter
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns slightly, putting one hand on his hip as he thinks:: All: Didn't anyone who go in never come out again?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: I believe so ::thinks::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::increases the resolution of the sensors:: CSO Hmm.. Ah, there's something... ::Looks closely:: It's the Wortin, she has charged shields and weapons.... Reading one lifesign aboard...
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: One ship recovered some as I recalled. And the report I read also said that the captain of that vessel had been there. Though I never saw descriptions of what he saw there
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
OPS: One lifesign? Open hailing frequencies. ::stands up straighter and looks towards the viewscreen::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin starts moving, on a intercept course with the Artemis.
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
:taps a few buttons:: CMO: Channel open... And she's moving towards us it seems...
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: What makes you think the life form has access to the ships com?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CSO: Nothing, but it's worth a try ::looks over his shoulder with a smile and shrugs::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
COM: *Wortin*: USS Wortin, this is Commander Kymar Dremel of the USS Artemis. Can you respond?
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : No reply. Phaser banks on the Wortin are powering up.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::clears his throat:: COM: *Wortin*: I repeat. This is Commander Kymar Dremel, Chief Medic onboard the USS Artemis. Respond.
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: Commander we have torpedoes locking on to us. Going to red alert!
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: They are coming from the Wortin Commander!
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : 4 torpedoes come out of the Wortin's launchers, heading on course for the Artemis.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers!
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: Prepare for impact
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
OPS: Evasive Maneuvers! ::turns to tactical:: CIV: Point Defence, target the torpedoes and fire phasers!
FCO_Flyitt says:
::engages evasives::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::grabs his console as he sees the torpedoes coming in fast::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Two torpedoes miss target, but the other two connect with the Artemis' shields.
CIV_Turner says:
:;targets the torpedoes::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::mutters quietly:: CIV: Target weapons and engines only, open fire.
CIV_Turner says:
::fires::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : Phaser fire starts hitting the Artemis from the Wortin's ventral phaser array.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sits in the XO's chair just as the torpedoes hit::
CIV_Turner says:
::targets the weapons and engines and fires::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Artemis' phaser fire, unimpeded by any shield, damages the Ventral phaser array, and one of the torpedo launchers.
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin passes by the Artemis, then comes about for another run.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::takes the centre chair a little regretfully:: CSO: Who do you think is onboard the Wortin that would attack us?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: Your guess is as good as mine
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: Can you identify what species that creature is?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CIV: Status of the Wortin?
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin fires another torpedo, and attacks the Artemis with it's dorsal array.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::feels the other hit, this time well seated::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::nods slowly as he looks at some information:: CSO: Affirmative commander... Even who he is... ::Looks a bit closer::
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: More incoming attacks! Status unknown at this time!
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at OPS inquisitively::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CIV: Then keep on firing! I want those weapons offline
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Compares the data with some of the earlier data and the archives:: CSO: It's... It's.. A Bolian male, registering as the Aldura's captain!
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: Doing my best! ::Keeps firing::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : This time, the ventral array and the other torpedo launcher go out.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: We can look for the Wortin's prefix code
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin accelerates, past the Artemis, heading for the planet.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
OPS: The Aldura's Captain on the Wortin? ::looks to the viewscreen and frowns a little::
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
All: He wants to go back ... just like ... that other guy that caused the incident some years ago
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Nods:: CMO: That's what my data says...
Doctor_Jones says:
*CMO*: Doctor.. I just wanted you to know... Our patient, Epacse, is waking up....
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: The Aldura was destroyed, now I think we know why
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::mutters quietly:: *Jones*: Alright, make sure you get a security detail down there, OK?
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : As the Wortin nears the planet, another energy surge comes from the planet, and the nexus appears again.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CMO: I hope he is not as eager as this Bolian captain
Doctor_Jones says:
*CMO* : Yes sir..
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: slave the Wortin's controls to your console
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: power down all her systems
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the CMO::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin dives into the planet, entering the nexus at full speed.
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Taps a few buttons to see what else he can find::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The life sign on board fades, but the Wortin continues on it's course, heading straight into the planet.
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CIV: Whatever you do, stop the Wortin entering the Nexus!
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: Trying Commander but we don't have control over her anymore!
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: What? ::looks puzzled::
CIV_Turner says:
CMO: You mean destroy her Commander?
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CIV: That would defeat the object, taking out her engines will suffice
CIV_Turner says:
::Relieved he fires at the engines of the Wortin::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin enters the atmosphere, burning like a shooting star, as the nexus subsides.
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::sits back taking a deep breathe::
Host Lt_Epasce says:
ACTION : The Wortin reaches the surface, and explodes
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns as he watches the explosion on the viewscreen:: CSO: Do we have to pay for that?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::manages to smile in an unpleasent situation::CMO: I do hope not
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Sighs, as his sensors don't show much anymore::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
OPS: Scan the wreckage, any sign of our Bolian friend?
CSO_Cmdr_Gomes says:
OPS: or of any activity in the caves
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Shakes his head, not replying yet. Couldn't they see he was working as fast as he could?::
OPS_Ens_Landra says:
::Sighs:: CSO/CMO: Not reading anything, sirs... ::Hits his console:: Self: Come one you piece of junk!
Host CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods slowly:: OPS: Alright, well...see what you can recover from the Wortin's logs
