Host VAdm_Edwards says:
#COM: Europa: Yes Captain, as a matter of fact.. we have heard from the Halcyc Alliance, and they have finally admitted that this attack was by a rogue squadron of Halcyc nationalists.. as such, any and all actions committed by them are not sanctioned by the Halcyc government.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Follows the doctor to the table::

Host VAdm_Edwards says:
#COM: Europa: We asked for help from the Halcyc, but they turned us down, stating that the rogue nationalists have attacked their own installations as well, so they need the firepower.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Closes Commlink::

MO_Essex says:
::the probes begin by dumping a payload of the stabilizer drug directly into the brain fluids o counter and hormone that might escape the organ.. then begin to cut the tissue with a laser::

#::gets cut off mid-sentence, and makes note to give that OPS man a tongue lashing::

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::leans up against the cave wall, panting still, looking out the mouth of the cave::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Edwards: Not quite understandable, but knowing the Halcyc I am not surprised.

TO_K`Tracht says:
<HIM> ::walks up behind KTracht> Well.. if it ain't the weakling!!!!

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks at Triton sideways:: XO: Well, I have had better hair days.

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: What's the status of our reinforcements?

TO_K`Tracht says:
::turns around:: You???

XO_Zaldivar says:
CO: No I mean you look ill.

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::steps up to the Vulcan, a slight frown appearing on his face:: Jyg'Lo? Lt, can you hear me?

MO_Essex says:
::the first series of neuro connections sever.. vitals are strong.. drug levels are stable:: CNS: stage one complete..

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Realizes that both presences are in action together::

Host CO_Senn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: Rest assured I am fine.

TO_K`Tracht says:
::shakes his head:: No.. Not really... I knew this would come sooner or later..

XO_Zaldivar says:
CO: Nevertheless I think a visit to sickbay and a quick viral scan would be a good idea.

CNS_T`Salea says:

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::forces himself to look calm (fails miserably):: CMO: No, that's ok Doctor. I'm fine. I uh... I had to see you about something.

XO_Zaldivar says:
CO: I think we investigate the second system and see what is there.

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: I'll pay sickbay a visit, because I want to and not because you tell me to... ::can't but smile:: Let me know as soon as the reinforcements are here.

MO_Essex says:

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::tilts head slightly "So it begins again...":: Jyg: What did you need?

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: Let the other ships know of our destination, we'll meet them at the edge of this system.  And thank you Triton... ::all I needed was a good enough excuse::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::continues a the synopsis to the doctor::  MO:  They are preparing to fight... neither is dominant at the moment.

Jyg: Very well, just go over to the biobed and we'll see if they're ready ::motions him over::

CNS_T`Salea says:

MO_Essex says:

~~~XO: and what would you do if I was?~~~

FCO_Sovok says:

CMO: Yes, your tricks.. You're after me, you and the rest. But I'll play your game till I can get my family off this ship. Then I'll be safe. So fix the leg and I can go....

CEO_Teal`c says:
*XO* aye sir I'll be there in a min sir

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Unable not to hear K'Trachts last thoughts toward her as she removes her hands and steps back::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye, sir

FCO_Sovok says:
XO: Aye..... ::Taps a Few more buttons on his Console:: MY Simulation is ready Sir.

XO_Zaldivar says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged

MO_Essex says:
CNS: I .. I failed.. ::slumps in a chair as one line goes flat on the screen.. and she just stares::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Transfers OPS Control on standby and puts Simulation on::

Host CO_Senn says:
::watches the doctors finish disconnecting some surgery-related equipment and sighs... it's over it seems. Nayla looks around one more time, and decides to sit on a biobed just in case Triton starts asking her if she got a scan done or not::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Turns to the doctor::  MO:  You did not fail.  The choice was taken from your hands.

CEO_Teal`c says:
::finishes checking on EO Matthews and heads for the Bridge::

MO_Essex says:
::stands up:: CNS: the procedure was a success.. he's cleared physically .. well.. you can take it from here.. ::walks out of the room dropping her surgery cloths as she goes::

CEO_Teal`c says:
::enters Bridge from TL::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::begins to work on Jyg's leg:: Jyg: I don't know what you're talking about... we have been trying to help you, but seeing as you are more inclined to ignore the issue, we'll continue on.

XO_Zaldivar says:
~~~MO: you know you did well.~~~

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Watches the MO go, realizing they would need to talk later... on many levels::

CEO_Teal`c says:
::continues to Engineering console on Bridge::

CEO_Teal`c says:
::while on my way to the console informing XO of my arrival:: XO: sir I am here!

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Turns to leave the nurse to finish cleaning things up and walks out toward the captain, removing her medical wear::

XO_Zaldivar says:
CEO: Please take a look at the FCO/OPS' simulation and tell me what you think.

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::moves his leg slightly away from his hand:: CMO: What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking? You know, you all do. You're trying to make me think I'm crazy.

MO_Essex says:
::drops the last of her attire on the desk and drapes her lab coat over her green scrubs:: ~~~XO: look.. I'm sorry about before.. it's wasn't nice of me to scare you like that.. and no I failed.. I want to be alone right now~~~

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  Captain...

XO_Zaldivar says:
~~~MO: As you wish.~~~ ::dampens their link as much as he can::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::enters sickbay, spotting Jyg and Dave, and the Captain, he walks up to her as opposed to the teep::

Host CO_Senn says:
::watches Tsalea approach, and looks at her waiting to hear anything she might have to say::

CEO_Teal`c says:
XO: yes sir! ::sits down at console and checks out the simulation of both FCO and OPS on console::

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  The operation in of itself was a success.

XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: I have been looking at your attack vectors...what do you think of these? ::sends some tac data that is obviously bad and sure to lead to a Fed defeat::

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> ::gives the TO a stimulant and lets his begin to awaken::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: CNS: I thought so, from what I saw. Yet... I didn't see Dr. Essex too happy.

TO_K`Tracht says:
::the white room vanishes::

TO_K`Tracht says:
::... to be replaced by the bright lights of the operating table:: Hmmmmm..

CEO_Teal`c says:
XO: the simulations look great sir:: also informs OPS and FCO::

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> ::notices the vital signs look good and gives him the second dose to remove all traces of the sedative:: 

XO_Zaldivar says:
CEO: Very good.

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
Jyg: Listen, I don't have time for your ramblings right now. You think you don't have a problem, fine, just let me do my job and stop being evasive

TO_K`Tracht says:
::opens his eye wider, and turns his head to his side::

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  The Dr Essex believes she has failed.  Her goal was to join the two minds with the one you knew to be the dominant personality.  K'Tracht had something else in mind.  The.. 'Other' is no more.  And yet in reality, he does still exist.  He just can no longer ever be.

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: As soon as FCO Sovok is ready you may begin.

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> TO: good morning sir.. you have to stay put for another 12 hours.. but everything looks good.. glad you have you back sir.. ::grins and goes about her work::

CEO_Teal`c says:
::continues checking over the simulation one more time; just to be sure::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::having not just walked up to the Captain after all, he walks over to Jyg and Dave:: CMO: Anything I can help with sir ::Jyg starts to feel a strange mental pressure::

FCO_Sovok says:
::Fixes the attack vectors:: XO: How are they now ::Turns back around to the Console

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::starts sliding his feet off the bed:: CMO: I'm not being evasive. I'm being cautious... ::closes his eyes as he feels a bit of pressure:: Self: wha...?

TO_K`Tracht says:
::smiles:: 12 hours???

Host CO_Senn says:
::her knits brow:: CNS: I guess I'd like to see the files later. ::looks down for a moment:: I just hope I didn't make a mistake, counselor. That thought alone will haunt me... ::turns her eyes again to the surgery area::

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> TO: standard sorry sir

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
Jyg: What's wrong Jyg'Lo?

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Ready?

XO_Zaldivar says:
::frowns as he sees the new attack patterns:: FCO: Well if you think these will work...go ahead.

MO_Essex says:
::walks into a session with Dave and Jyg Lo and stands at the door.. leaning on the post and watching .. notices Kevin and pauses:

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  Like the doctor, in a sense, the decision, in the end was not yours either.

TO_K`Tracht says:
::tries to get his head up, but it falls right back down, as a sharp pain enters his head:: uuungh..

FCO_Sovok says:
Self: Hmph.

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
:: places his feet on the floor and looks at David:: Self... no, not him.. ::sees Nat:: No...not her either... ::looks at Cross:: HIM!

Host CO_Senn says:
::sighs and nods:: CNS: Well... that might help. Now tell me something, do I look sick?

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> TO: easy! you just had a major operation!

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  He should be awake about now if you would care to see him. ::Pauses::  Sick?  ::Picks up a scan and runs it along her::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::stares blankly at Jyg, but the Vulcan hears a loud Cat-like hiss in his mind, and something dark::

TO_K`Tracht says:
::feeling like he has been run over by a pack of Targ's..:: Now you tell me.... ::manages a small grin::

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> TO: just stay still.. You'll feel better

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Triton told me I looked sick. I just wondered if I do... or if he was being either considerate or trying to push me off the bridge ::smiles:: I would like to see K'Tracht now.

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the source of the sound::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO/FCO: I am ready on this side, 4 ships.

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  Your adrenalin level .05 over normal, but under the current circumstances that is not unusual.  You are fine.

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::looks to Cross:: MO: What are you doing here, I relieved you of duty.

MO_Essex says:
::steps in the room:: ~~~Cross: Kevin.. stop it~~~

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  I do not know the commander well enough to answer that question.  ::Leads her into K'Trachts room::

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::can't see Sickbay anymore::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Thank you ::steps down of the biobed:: And I wish I knew the commander a little more to be able to form an opinion myself ::follows Tsalea::

Host Cmdr_Hei says:
ACTION: Commander Hei is contacting the Europa..

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
<CAT> ::leaps at Jyg'Lo, claws extended::   <JYG> ::slaps it (medical cart) away::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::Jyg hears a dark slithering voice::~~~Jyg: So you see now... how they're all against you, working for the cat, especially Essex, she's a treat to you~~~

FCO_Sovok says:
::looks up:: XO: Already

OPS_Taylor says:
::OPS Side of the console bleeps:: XO: Comm signal coming in from the USS Ardent

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Enters the room and looks at the nurse::  <Krin>:  Is everything normal?

MO_Essex says:
:walks closer to Jyg and Cross:: Cross: listen to me.. stop this now

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Put it on screen.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye ::Puts it on screen::

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::sees the cat laying on the ground, stunned... turns to the other one... HER::

MO_Essex says:
::realizes what Cross is doing:: ~~~JYG: no! don't listen to him!~~~

Host Cmdr_Hei says:
#COM: Europa: Commander.. our ships left spacedock rather abruptly, and as such our crews are rather short.. the Loch Ness and Chancellor only have half their normal complement, and have asked me to contact you regarding their situation.

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::grabs Cross:: MO: Leave Sickbay now Chief, you are confined to quarters!

MO_Essex says:
~~~CMO: to late~~~ ::eyes Jyg Lo::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Nods to the nurse and looks at K'Tracht::  TO:  How do you... feel.

Host CO_Senn says:
::approaches the Klingon who is lying on the biobed::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
~~~MO: Nat get out of here! Get Security, I'll handle this!~~~

TO_K`Tracht says:
::can't help being honest:: CNS : Like a pack of Targ's has run me over, and had me for their playing for two days.....

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::raises voice, fists clenching:: MO: Why are you doing this to me Natalia!?! Why!?! What'd I ever do to you?:: ::keeps advancing::

TO_K`Tracht says:
::his head faces the lights, since he shouldn't really move it::

MO_Essex says:
::puts her arms at her side and keeps look at Jyg Lo:: SFI: I didn't.. You’re listening to the wrong voice

CNS_T`Salea says:
TO:  That is to be expected.  You should be fine by tomorrow.  How about mentally?

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ~~~Jyg: That's right, it's her. Twisting everyone near her all along, that's right destroy the threat~~~

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles:: TO: Well, nothing you can't handle, isn't it? ::approaches the lights some more::

XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: Hei: I will assign crew from my staff to fill out their compliments.  Please have their XO's contact me with specific requests.

MO_Essex says:
::takes a step back:: SFI: listen to me.. I am not your enemy.. please just calm down

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::runs to the Med cart and withdraws a phaser, leveling it and stunning Cross::

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
MO: You're lying. You're always lying to me. You are my enemy, always!

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
Jyg: Jyg'Lo! Stay where you are or I'll fire!

TO_K`Tracht says:
::smiles as he sees Nayla's face come up over him, covering the lights:: Hey there, gorgeous.... What are you doing here? I'm fine Counselor.... I am me... HE will not bother anyone anymore.. ::feels somewhat disappointed::

FCO_Sovok says:
::Moves his Ships into position on the Simulation

Host Cmdr_Hei says:
#COM: Europa: Thank you commander, I will pass the message along. You will receive their replies shortly. Hei out. ::closes the channel::

MO_Essex says:
::looks at David as he does:: CMO: it's no good.. he's too.. ughn.. too much ::feels Cross fighting::

OPS_Taylor says:
::OPS Console bleeps:: XO: Phaser fire in Sickbay.

Host CO_Senn says:
::gorgeous? Ok, so there's a full new vocabulary she'll have to get used to...::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Looks from the K'Tracht to the captain, then with a minute wave of her hand directs the nurse to follow her out::

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: What? localize the aggressor and perform site to site into a brig cell.

MO_Essex says:
<Nurse Krin> ::looks up and then follows the CNS::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::moves up about 4 feet behind Jyg:: MO: Nat, get out of here.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Closes the door behind them giving the two privacy::

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Foley:: ~~~~CMO: Stay out of this. Or I'll hurt you.~~~~ ::turns his attention back to the real enemy::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: AYe.

TO_K`Tracht says:
::tries to raise his hand, but he fails to find the strength to do so::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes his hand:: TO: I am glad to see you again. ::not exactly what she wanted to say, but nothing else came to mind to form into words::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Heads over to the computer, pulls up K'Trachts file and then makes a few notes::

MO_Essex says:
:takes a deep breath.. looking at David and then at Jyg:: ~~~SFI: ok.. you found me out... now stop me~~~ ::runs for the door:: ~~~CMO: I'm sorry Dave~~~

TO_K`Tracht says:
::a small frown comes to his face:: What's wrong? ::feels her... uneasiness?::

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Belay that order.

MO_Essex says:
::runs hard down the hall hoping Dave's a good shot::

XO_Zaldivar says:
*CMO*:  Report!

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: XO?

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Do not initiate transport...yet.

Host CO_Senn says:
::shakes her head:: TO: We will talk about a lot of things once you are out of here. For now, I'd like you to... well, concentrate in getting out of here. ::smiles:: Promise?

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::sprints after the MO, easily closing the gap with the height advantage as he grabs he arms from behind::

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::turns head back at Jyg's words then looks back:: ~~~MO: Nat no!!!~~~ ::fires at Jyg'Lo, missing as he runs out the door::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Should I dispatch a Sec Team?

MO_Essex says:
~~~XO: Jyg Lo.. stop him!~~~

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Yes.

MO_Essex says:
SFI: let go!

TO_K`Tracht says:
::tries to nod, but ends  up doing a face instead:: Ok... The Nurse told me 12 hours....

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
*XO* Security alert, it's Jyg'Lo, I need teams down here now!!!

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: lock on Lt. Ahkileez.  and transport him to the brig.

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: now!

OPS_Taylor says:
::Lock on to Lt and beams him to the Brig::

MO_Essex says:
SFI: you can't feel him.. but that’s not Cross! you have to listen!

SFI_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::gets the beep from his comm badge and takes it off and pulls out the second one::

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Once he is there flood the cell with a sedative.

OPS_Taylor says:
*SEC*: Security to Sickbay

CMO_Lt_Foley says:
::chases them and gets behind them:: *XO* Do not transport him, he’s in contact with Nat you'll get them both!

Host CO_Senn says:
::hears some turmoil:: TO: That is fair enough. I just wonder what is going on out there?

OPS_Taylor says:
::Floods Cell with Heavy Sedative::
