TO_Ens_Daniels says:
*EO*:  I am getting some fluctuations on my console, Ensign Delgado?  Are you running any diagnostics that I need to be aware of?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*CSO*: Animal? What kind of animal Lieutenant? We haven't detected any.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Right.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
ACO:  Aye, Ma'am.  I'll have a tactical team standing by.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*EO*: Good anticipation.  Be careful to keep a firewall between us and the freighter's system's code.  Can you tell what components are causing our system failures?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

ACO: Ma’am, the shuttle is ok. No problem there.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :: locates something behind a panel ::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*EO*:  That wouldn't hurt.  Go ahead, but I don't see how any of the creatures could have come on the Dublin as we have isolated the transports to the shuttle.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: Captain move your people to the other side of the containment field please. I've located the intruder.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: I recommend we also go under quarantine Ma’am.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: I agree.  Make it so.

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@FCO: What intruder? ::looks around::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*Dublin*: Dublin, I've located the intruder and am about to change the parameters of the containment field. Stand by.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  We've got to correct our crew shortage!

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Computer: run an internal sensor scan on every deck and inform me if troles are detected. *ACO*: I don't get any answer from this level of diagnostic ma'am, request permission to send a team to investigate.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: There is something in the containment field with you and your crew.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*FCO*: Thank you Cassie.  We have to make sure those things don't get loose here.  We're having some minor system failures aboard ship.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@::Directs his crew to move to one side of the containment field::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: Calm down Captain. You will be out the field in a moment but the creature will remain in it.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*ACO*: yes ma'am. ::assembles a 3 people team and heads toward  the cargo bay on deck 7:: Computer: are the problems on our system central or periferic?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
ACO:  Ma'am, suggest we put a tractor beam on the shuttle in case the troles take out the propulsion systems.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CNS*: For the time being we cannot bring the freighter crew aboard.  But stand by to have a containment field set to hold the creatures.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: Is there only one biosign of the creature on the shuttle?  I would like two specimens

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :: sees the furry trole and smiles :: Hyde: It looks harmless.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: Ma’am, I think that will not be a problem. Believe me, they are inside the Dublin as well.

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@FCO: Harmless my aunt Fanny; that thing and its friends are the devil incarnate.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
::sees the crates embarked on SB10, notices one with a broken corner and sets his tricorder to scan for biosigns in the crates area:: Rest of Team: please give me a complete scan of all the EPS conduits.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*Dublin*: Commander Jakiel, we have located the creature. So far we only found the one. The Hardwell crew is cleared to transport to the Dublin.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns to face Wildstar quickly, surprised:: CSO:  When, where and how did that happen?!

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
*EO*: Inspect the conduits and the computer of the replicator and of the auto targeting system. You might find something in there.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
CSO:  Would you like me to send a security officer down to assist the engineer?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
<CPO Ross> EO: This conduit seems chewed ensign.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: Ma’am, our auto targeting system is down and the replicator. I believe some of these troles came together with the crates from SB 10.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*FCO*:  Cassie, Dublin is under quarantine for the moment.  We'll let you know when you can bring the shuttle aboard.  The freighter crew will to have wait until then.  See if the freighter Captain can tell you how those things got loose and why he had them.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*Bridge*: I have bad news, the EPS conduits in this cargo bay show sign of chewing.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
TO: Please do. Ask your teams to work together with science staff as well.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*ACO*: Will do Ma'am. :: wonders what is happening on the Dublin ::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Cargo from SB 10?  Didn't our crew or the Starbase crew scan for mammals first before loading?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CSO.  Hears the comm.::  *Sec. Team Alpha*:  I need you to begin scans of the ship to make sure we are not infested with any troles.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :: ushers Hyde to a seat :: Hyde: Captain do you have any idea how these animals got onto your ship?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: Usually they do. I'll check all the reports to see where they failed.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
::hears purring and checks with the tricorder for troles biosigns, finds some::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*EO*: I need ideas and scans.  How can we round up these rodents?

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Having seen the EO and a team go into the Engineering storage area slowly moves to the hatch to watch.::

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*ACO*: Cheese?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec. Tara> *TO*:  I'm already at the cargo bay.  I'll assist Ensign Delgado.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
TO: Work with engineering on how to rid us of these creatures.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Looks at the crates he had place in the area and notes the broken stave on the bottom one::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::hears the EO and narrows her eyes:: *EO*: Not very funny, Mister.  It would be much more helpful to have a better plan than a mousetrap...

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods to Cmdr. Jakiel.::  ACO:  I've got security on it already.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*CSO*: Sir, do we have any idea whether these creatures can be attracted by some hormones?

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Derick, can you capture one of these things, contain it and see if a high pitch might disable them?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
*Sec Tara/EO*: I need a scan on the crates from SB 10. Advise if there is anything unusual. We should detect with scans any different bio sign not registered.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec Tara> ::Enters the cargo bay and sees the EO looking in a bunch of crates.::  EO:  Sir, might I be of assistance?  *CSO*:  I'm entering the cargo bay now.  We'll let you know what we find.  ::Picks up a scanner and starts scanning the crate the EO is looking at.::

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@FCO: I have no idea how they got on my ship.  I just made my normal stop at SB 10, dropped off supplies and took on some cargo for delivery to SB 5.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: What was the cargo? Where's your manifest?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Tara: yes, please use your tricorder to scan for any unusual sign, especially exotic DNA.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: I am working on that now. ::scanning the ship for any bio sign of a trole. Self: Why ain't I detecting anything?

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
::Moves to the old crate and looks closely at it; noting tiny footprints in the dust::

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
::checks the cargo manifest to see what these crates are supposed to contain::

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@ FCO: Where do you think it is Fleet? On my bloody ship!

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: Good, I hope you can find one.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> ::Begins scanning the crates.::

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Schmuck: Do you notice anything?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
ACO: I really hope I can find only one. ::grins::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::has to smile at Derick's remark::  CSO: I do too!  I do too...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: So you read it I assume....:: mumbles assuming he can read :: So what was the cargo?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> EO:  No signs of unidentified life signs according to scans, Ensign Delgado.  What was in these crates?

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@ FCO: ::shrugs:: Some replicator parts for SB 5. Two very old crates; appeared to have been in the system a long time.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Tara: Normal spare parts supplies for a fleet ship according to manifest, but I think the old crate is where the troles came from.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :: taps her fingers on the panel ::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: Crates of what?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*CSO*: Do we have the DNA of the troles sir?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> EO:  But there's nothing here.  Scans picked up no biosigns.  Is it possible they came in another way?

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@ FCO: As I said, parts... chips... that kind of thing.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :: thinks that Captain Hyde didn't read his manifest after all ::

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Tara: Maybe they left and now they are infesting our ship, I would like to check if there is any remain with their DNA.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
EO: Sir, you see these foot prints?

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
ACO:  Suggest running scans throughout the ship to scan for any abnormal life signs onboard.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::listens to all the bridge chatter::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: So it's possible that these creatures were in the old crates?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
Schmuck/Tara: This is where they must have come from then.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
*EO*: Just approximate. Access the file 1256Trole. I am sending SO Caine to assist you.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@ :; shakes her head at Paige in frustration ::

Host Capt_Hyde says:
@ FCO: ::purses lips:: I suppose. I never thought that fleet would send contaminated cargo on my ship.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> EO:  Do we know what these little critters eat?  Where would they go if they wanted something to eat?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*CSO*: Thank you sir, I would advise to scan the ship to know how many critters we have aboard. ::downloads the file and start scanning the crate for DNA traces:: Tara: Unfortunately it seems they like EPS conduits.

Host Yeoman_Schmuck says:
Tara: What creatures?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*ACO*: Commander, I think we've found the source of the problem. It seems that the freighter picked up cargo at Starbase ten, with delivery to Starbase five. Two unidentified crates with were the others. They may have held the creatures.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
<SO_Caine>EO: Mister Wildstar has sent me to assist you. ::as he enters the deck hands a tricorder and starts scanning::

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*FCO*:  That would explain it.  I'll see if we have any unidentified crates, too.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> Yeoman:  Yes, we are assuming from the gnawing marks that there are possibly some troles onboard.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
SO: It would be useful to know what attracts them so we can assemble some sort of trap.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*EO *: The flight officer reported having unidentified crates on board that freighter, have you checked all the crates to see if we might also?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*ACO*: I'm going to attempt to capture it. I'll let you know what happens.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
*ACO*: The cargo manifest seems perfectly normal, but there is one old crate that should be the one where the critters came from.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: Captain, Can you help me to try and catch the creature?

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
<SO_Caine>EO: Yes. I'll check the patterns of the bites and where this thing is heading to. I'll transmit the idea to CSO right now.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*FCO*:  That's a very important specimen, Cassie.  We can run some tests for various effects on the creature until we can find a way to knock them out or exterminate them.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*EO*:  I see.  Try to do scans and let me know how many you find.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
ACO:  Would you like me to run sensor sweeps of the ship to check for unknown biosigns on the ship?

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
::orders the member of the engineering team to start repairing the EPS conduits:: *ACO*: wouldn't it be easier from the bridge ma'am? From security or science?

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE SHUTTLE TROLE ATTEMPTS TO RETURN BEHIND THE PANEL

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@*ACO*: I think we have a small vile of annestizine gas on board. I'm going to try and put it to sleep.

ACO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
TO: No, just stand by with a crew to hopefully round the creatures up.  CSO: Derick, check with Cassie and as soon as she has that creature get it over here and start finding out how to get rid of these things!  Engineering is scanning for the creatures.  Cross your scans with them.

EO_Ens_Delgado says:
SO: if they eat EPS conduit any change they like our energy?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@CTO: Paige inject the gas into the field now.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: THE GAS IS INJECTED INTO THE CONTAINMENT FIELD.

CSO_Lt_Wildstar says:
<SO_Caine>*CSO*: Sir, EO gave an idea to detect what they are attracted for so we can trap then.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
@Hyde: There's a small capture cage in the rear. We use it for collecting specimens. Go and get it and be ready while I grab the animal.

TO_Ens_Daniels says:
<Sec.Tara> EO: Let me know when you have the area identified, and I will have TO Daniels send a team to round them up.
