XO_O`Guinn says:  ::sitting in center chair, looking over reports::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::sitting in her ready room, trying to figure out her next move::

SO_Praed says:  ::On his way to sickbay, not really anxious to pay the Klingon Doctor a visit.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::stepping off the TL and heading for station, relieving the Ensign at the post::

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::In Brig, looking at K'lorets.::

CSO_Santiago says:  ::At Sci Station 1 on Bridge.::

EO_Hansen says:  ::heads towards the Captain's quarters to fix her Replicator::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::looks up:: CIV: Hey Shannon

MO_Thoren says:  ::trying to get Klas to stop crying:: Klas: Shhh.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::turns and grins:: XO: Hello yourself, Patrick.

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::looks back down at report reading over the last part::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::peeks into Randi's room and sees her still asleep::

SO_Praed says:  ::Arrives at sickbay and stops in front of the door.  He takes a deep breath to calm himself before being in the presence of another Klingon.  After the breath, he walks into Sickbay.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::looks back up:: CIV: Shannon see if you can contact Klingon JTF-2, please.

MO_Thoren says:  ::sighs, putting him down in the playpen::

CNS_Varesh says:  *CTO*: Varesh to Ayidee.

CTO_Ayidee says:  Guard: Let me know the moment he regains consciousness.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *CNS*: Yes Varesh, what can I do for you?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Aye Patrick. ::activates com link trying to contact Klingon JTF-2::

SO_Praed says:  ::Looks around for Lieutenant Thoren.::

EO_Hansen says:  ::arrives at the Captain's quarters and inputs her access code, hoping that her admittance has been authorized by now::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::reads the report on the incident in the lounge and shakes her head::

CNS_Varesh says:  *CTO*: Just to let you know, Randi is still out like a candle... I'm quite sure what's wrong. I'm taking her to sickbay when she wakes up. Just thought you should know... if you don't already.

SO_Praed says:  MO:  Doctor?  ::Looks around::

CTO_Ayidee says:  *CNS*: Thanks Varesh.  Doctors don't know what is causing it yet?

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::sits back waiting for contact::

MO_Thoren says:  ::looks up:: SO: Ensign. How are you feeling?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::taps her comm badge:: *CTO*: Sheridan to Ayidee.

CNS_Varesh says:  *CTO*: Negative. I'd handle it myself, but so far my scans show stomach trouble and slight dehydration. I've treated that here.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *CO*: Go ahead ma'am.  ::Exits Brig and heads to Turbo Lift, momentarily tempted to take the Jeffries tubes.::

SO_Praed says:  MO:  I'm perfectly fine doctor.  My physiology has some advantages you know.  We are susceptible to a certain amount of physical abuse.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::rubs her eyes tiredly as she waits for confirmation that they are going to answer::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *CTO* When you have a moment Commander, please come to my Ready Room.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *CNS*: Understood, tell her I hope she feels better, and I'll try and stop by later.

MO_Thoren says:  SO_Praed:_ well go ahead and sit down on the biobed. I'll just run my tricorder over you to be sure.

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::stands up walks over standing behind Shannon:: CIV: Anything Shannon?

EO_Hansen says:  ::walks into the Captain's quarters once the doors open and heads over to the Replicator::

CNS_Varesh says:  *CTO*: I'll check again... it’s most likely a stomach virus or something. Varesh out.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *CO*: Yes ma'am.  K'lorets is still unconscious, so I'll be right there.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and sits over on the biobed.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::looks up:: XO: Nothing yet Patrick.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Thank ya Shannon.

MO_Thoren says:  ::Runs the medical tricorder over Praed::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::stands and walks over to her roses and strokes the petals::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::pulls the cover a bit more snug around her, pets Baby and heads out towards sickbay.::

SO_Praed says:  ::Watches the scanner with his eyes while remaining completely still.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::turns:: CSO: Ms. Santiago, see if you can find the Klingon Task Force on long range scanners.

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Exits the Turbo Lift, crosses Bridge nodding to Ensign Angeltra at Tactical and the rest of the crew, and moves to the Ready Room and rings the chime.::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  On it.  I've got them on scanners.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Come.....

MO_Thoren says:  SO: You are fine.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::walks along the corridors, smiling at the crew he passes, enters the TL and makes the short ride to sickbay::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Patrick I have them.

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Enters.::  CO: You wanted to see me ma'am?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Yes Commander, have a seat please.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::exits the TL and walks along the corridor, reaches sickbay and enters:: MO/SO: Ah, you're both here.

EO_Hansen says:  ::opens her equipment kit and starts working on the Replicator::  Self:  Why do we even bother with these things?  They always break anyway ...

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::walks back and sits behind her desk::

SO_Praed says:  ::Sees the Counselor and raises his eyebrow.::

MO_Thoren says:  ::turns to look:: CNS: Yes counselor.

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Sits down nervously.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: JTF-2: Klingon Task Force, this is the Federation Starship Huron, come in.

CNS_Varesh says:  MO: Mira, Randi's come down with a stomach bug, but she's sleeping at the moment. I've set an alarm for when she wakes up. Can you send someone to have a look and give her something for it?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: I've just been reading the reports on the incident in the lounge with K'lorets. ::looks over at him with a serious look on her face::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Yes ma'am.  I apologize for allowing it to get that far, but I didn't want to draw weapons in a reception until there was no choice.

MO_Thoren says:  CNS: Yes. ::makes a mental note:: SO: And you're free to go, and can return to duty.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::turns to the SO:: SO: Are you alright?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Commander, your actions were completely justified.

SO_Praed says:  CNS:  Yes sir.  I've never felt better.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: But too slow, or nearly so.

CNS_Varesh says: MO: Great, thanks Mira. SO: I'll walk with you... I am heading to the bridge.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods and gets off the biobed.::  CNS, MO:  But, duty is calling my name.  I must go.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::monitors the com system as they make their way back to SB71::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::stands and walks around and sits on the corner of the desk:: CTO: This incident has made me rethink a few things.

SO_Praed says:  CNS:  If you wish sir, I don't want to inconvenience you.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Rethink how?  Based on the orders, your plan was appropriate.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: SO: No inconvenience, I have to go there in any case. ::waves to the door:: Shall we? ::turns to Mira:: MO: Thanks again... see ya.

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::talks with the Task Force commander and gets the needed information::

MO_Thoren says:  CNS:  You're welcome.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Easy Tio, I agree with you completely. That is not what I was thinking about.

SO_Praed says:  ::Nods.::  MO:  Thank you..... Doctor.  ::Leaves Sickbay.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::taps com badge:: *CO*: O'Guinn to Captain Sheridan.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::walks out into the corridor:: SO: How are you settling in, Erasmus?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: We need to make a change......and well ......excuse me a moment. *XO* Sheridan here, go ahead Patrick.

SO_Praed says:  ::Is walking.::  CNS:  Fine, sir.

EO_Hansen says:  ::puts down her tools and pushes a few buttons on the Replicator to see if it's working now::

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Tries to figure out what this is about.::  CO: I'm not...  ::Stops as she takes the call.::

CNS_Varesh says:  SO: And your sister? Is she settling in with the rest of the children?

SO_Praed says:  CNS:  I believe so, she began at the school here not that long ago.  And she's become friends with the Borg child.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: I have talked with the commander of the Klingon Task Force.... Captain K’lorets is wanted by the High Council, ma'am.

MO_Thoren says:  ::looks at Klas, making sure he is okay, then goes to find someone::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Do they want him turned over to them now?

CNS_Varesh says:  ::chuckles:: SO: Then you're in for a bumpy ride... interesting child that. ::waits for the TL to arrive::

EO_Hansen says:  ::puts all her equipment back into the kit after making sure the Replicator works::

SO_Praed says:  CNS:  I already have my hands full with my sister.  She will be beginning puberty soon.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: I have made arrangements to meet enroute to  SB71 ma'am.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Have the doctor check him out and have him ready to beam over as soon as we are within transporter range.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: Aye ma'am.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*:Anything else Commander?

XO_O`Guinn says:  *MO*: O'Guinn to Thoren.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::nods sagely:: SO: Well, all the best of luck there... it’s not an easy time for a child, of any species. ::enters the TL when the doors open:: TL: Bridge.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: Not at the moment, ma'am.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Sheridan out.

MO_Thoren says:  *XO*: Thoren here, Commander.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::turns back to Tio:: CTO: Sorry Commander, you know how it is. ::smiles::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Of course, ma'am.

SO_Praed says:  ::Enters with the Counselor.::  CNS:  Indeed.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *MO*: Doctor, please check our guest out in the brig. Make sure he is ready for transport.

EO_Hansen says:  ::closes up her kit and walks out of the Captain's quarters::

MO_Thoren says:  *XO* Yes sir.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Now where was I?

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Something about change in thinking, although I am a bit unsure what you meant.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Ever get the feeling all of this was for nothing Patrick?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Oh yes.....a change.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::looks at the SO as the lift races to the Bridge:: SO: Well, Erasmus, I'm around if you need to talk or anything. My doors are open, and the doorstep worn out.

CEO_Woo says:  ::at the Bridge, continuing to monitor the force field power levels...::

SO_Praed says:  CNS:  I will keep that in mind.  ::Nods to the Counselor.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: I really don't know. I Hope to get some answers before we get back to Starbase.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: I have been thinking that we need more authority on the bridge.  You know, someone to assist myself and Commander O'Guinn.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: SO: That's my job. ::sighs as the doors open:: End of the ride. See ya. ::walks towards his chair::

MO_Thoren says:  ::Gives an MO the directions on Randi and picks up a medical kit and heads to the Brig::

SO_Praed says:  ::Leaves the Turbolift and heads towards the Science Station.::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::flops gracelessly into his chair:: XO: Remind me again why I do this?

CEO_Woo says:  ::imagines any Klingons who may be in the brig to be struggling with the force field... smiles contentedly::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::puts a hand on Tio's shoulder:: CTO: And I'd like that someone to be you Commander. So would you consider being the new second officer of the Huron?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Cause we like to explore Varesh. I know the feeling though.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::grins at V:: CNS: Because we are all gluttons for punishment!

MO_Thoren says:  ::steps onto the TL:: TL: Brig.

SO_Praed says:  CSO:  Hello ma'am.  My orders?

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles:: XO/CIV: You just know how to make me feel better... thanks

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Me?  I'd be honored ma'am.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::shrugs:: CNS: Sorry Varesh. Guess I am just tired. ::turns back to station monitoring communications::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::extends her hand:: CTO: Congratulations Commander.

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Extends paw to shake her hand.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: Now of course you know that your work load will increase.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::blinks as a sense of satisfaction envelops him:: CIV: No need for apologies Shannon. We've been so busy, I don't know if we're coming or going.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Both. I am running in circles trying to keep two different jobs going.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::shoots a glance to the RR:: XO: Who's in there?

CNS_Varesh says:  ::grins:: CIV: Just make sure you don't meet yourself coming in as you leave.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CNS: The Captain and Tio.

CEO_Woo says:  *EO* Ensign, so, how's that Replicator coming along? Have you finished?

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Yes ma'am.

MO_Thoren says:  ::steps off the Turbolift and heads for security:: Lt: I'm here to see if the prisoner is ready to be turned over to the Klingons.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::chuckles:: CNS: I think I already have V.

CEO_Woo says:  ::adjusts the power distribution slightly::

EO_Hansen says:  *CEO*:  Aye, sir, I'm finished.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::laughs:: CTO: It's not that bad, Tio.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::nods:: XO: Interesting. ::laughs at Shannon's comment:: CIV: Well, next time hand yourself some coffee or a croissant.

CNS_Varesh says:  CIV: You know, help yourself along.

SO_Praed says:  ::Shrugs and decides to go see his bugs.  He leaves the bridge and heads for the Turbolift.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Yes I know V. I almost wish it was that easy.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::stands and steps back a few steps:: CTO: Well get out of here Number two.

CNS_Varesh says:  CIV: Well, if you need more help, I know Marie is always looking for something new.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CSO: Anita what is the distance to the Klingon Task Force?

SO_Praed says:  Computer:  Science Lab One. ::Waits for the Turbolift to zoom down.::

CEO_Woo says:  *EO* Excellent, Ensign, because I have another task for you. I know, I know, it never ends... ::pauses to view display:: ... but could you report to Main Engineering please? It's been suggested that we should try to strengthen the shields in case of some, er, fishy business on the part of the Klingons... would you mind working on that?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CNS: What I need is for SFC to get off their butts and get my replacement up here. ::shakes head::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ::Checking scans.::  XO:  They are 500 km's off our port bow.

MO_Thoren says:  ::walks in, and runs the medical tricorder over K'lorets while the Lt. lowers the force field on the Brig back down::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::smiles and watches the Cait's face::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Just a matter of branching out I guess.  Instead of spending 3 hours with each Tactical crew, I'll have to change the schedule.  ::Stands.::  Yes ma'am.

EO_Hansen says:  *CEO*:  Not at all.  I think I can handle it, sir.

CNS_Varesh says:  CIV: I thought he was supposed to meet us enroute?

MO_Thoren says:  ::nods her head:: LT: You can let me back out now.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  CTO: One word Tio........delegate.

SO_Praed says:  ::Arrives at the deck and heads for Science Lab One.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Then you know more than I do V. I haven't heard anything except SFC screaming for test results.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Go to Impulse be ready to transport our guest.

MO_Thoren says:  *XO* He's ready to go.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::drops the ship to impulse:: XO: Impulse aye.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CSO: Anita let me know when they are in transporter range.

CEO_Woo says:  *EO* Thanks, Ensign.  ::wonders just when they'll reach the Klingon task force...::

CTO_Ayidee says:  CO: Thank you ma'am, I will.  ::Exits Ready Room and moves to Tactical.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  *MO*: Acknowledged Doctor.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  Aye Sir.  They will be in transporter range in 10 minutes.

CNS_Varesh says:  CIV: I could be mistaken... I don't know what I'm thinking anymore... most likely thinking of my own transfer, almost 18 months ago.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CSO: Acknowledge.

MO_Thoren says:  ::heads back to the Turbolift, shaking her head::

EO_Hansen says:  ::heads to the Turbolift::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::taps comm badge:: *CO*: O'Guinn to Captain Sheridan.

SO_Praed says:  ::Enters Science Lab One and immediately sees the container containing the two cockroach-sized insects.::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods and keeps an eye on things:: CNS: Now that I can understand.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Go ahead Commander.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::puts hand to forehead:: CIV: Oh, I seem to be palsied with old age. ::flops over onto the armrest::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::turns around and glares at V:: CNS: If you are palsied with old age then I am ancient!

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  A Bird of Prey decloaks outside the starboard side of the ship.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::giggles:: CIV: Shannon, you'd be young and sprightly even at 200.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: We have dropped to impulse the Klingons will be in transporter range in 10 minutes. The Doctor has reported that our guess is ready.

EO_Hansen says:  ::steps onto the TL::  TL:  Main engineering.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::chuckles:: CNS: Flattery will get you everywhere!

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Bird of Prey decloaking off Starboard, Commander.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::grins:: CIV: I know. ::looks at the view screen::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Well it looks like blackhearts transport is here.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Very well, by the way any sign of Admiral Skyler?

CEO_Woo says:  ::...prepares to power the shield generators... just in case:: Self: Finally...

SO_Praed says:  Computer:  Lower force field around the container and erect a force field around this room.  ::The force field around the container drops and another activates around the room.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Acknowledged. CIV: Open hailing frequency. *CO*: No Ma'am.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::opens hailing frequency:: XO: Open Patrick.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The Bird of Prey is strangely silent.  It just sits there.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Thank you Patrick.

EO_Hansen says:  ::steps off the TL and walks into engineering, handing her tool kit off to one of the other engineers::

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: BoP: Klingon Ship this is the USS Huron, acknowledge.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *CNS*: Sheridan to Varesh.

CNS_Varesh says:  *CO*: Varesh here.

MO_Thoren says:  TL: Sickbay.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The Bird of Prey is silent. They are scanning the ship.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *CNS*: Please see if you can locate the Admiral. He was supposed to be here a hour ago.

SO_Praed says:  ::Sits on a bench and examines the movement of the insects.::  Insects:  You know, I almost feel bad about examining you guys because I didn't like being constantly examined by Federation scientists and doctors.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: It's just sitting there so far...hold that, we are being scanned.

CEO_Woo says:  XO: Um, sir... they're scanning our ship...

XO_O`Guinn says:  CEO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::nods to himself:: *CO*: Aye, ma'am. I'll let you know in a minute. Varesh out.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Keep that finger ready Tio.

EO_Hansen says:  ::walks over to a console and looks over the current status of the shields before she makes any adjustments::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Perhaps it isn't the ones we were expecting Patrick.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION: The insects begin to grow.

CNS_Varesh says:  *ADM*: Varesh to Admiral Skyler.

SO_Praed says:  ::Raises and eyebrow and steps back a bit.::  Self:  What the?

SO_Praed says:  ::Grabs a tricorder and immediately begins to scan the insects.::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  *CNS* Skyler here

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The glass jar explodes.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Holding, but ready.

CNS_Varesh says:  *ADM*: Sir, the captain was wondering where you were... apparently you had a meeting with her an hour ago?

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: BoP: Klingon ship, this is the USS Huron reply.

CEO_Woo says:  XO: ::mutters under breath:: Or maybe they are, and we're slowly falling into a Klingon trap...

EO_Hansen says:  ::makes a few mental notes and then moves over to another console to start working::

SO_Praed says:  Self:  Maybe we've been feeding them too much.  ::Thinks.::

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: And Shannon may be correct.  It isn't exactly consistent with a Klingon Task force ship to act like this.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  Sparks can be seen emanating from the bugs.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CEO: Just be ready for what ever happens.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  *CNS* Copy that. I have been a little tied up in a meeting with Command. I'll be up in  a minute.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Agreed. Have they armed weapons?

CEO_Woo says:  ::looks up, surprised that Cmdr. O'Guinn seemed to have heard him so clearly::

CNS_Varesh says:  *ADM*: Aye, sir. Varesh out. *CO*: Varesh to Sheridan.

SO_Praed says:  Computer:  Erect a force field around the Science Station in this room.::  Insects:  I'm going to have to cool you down, sparky.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *CNS*: Sheridan here, yes Varesh?

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  Before the force fields comes on, one of the bugs jumps onto a console.  burrows in, sparks fly.

CNS_Varesh says:  *CO*: The Admiral's apologies, and he'll be up in a short while. Meeting with Command.

EO_Hansen says:  ::works quietly at her console, wondering if there's anything interesting going on::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *CNS*: Excellent work Commander. Captain out.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::follows the readouts:: XO: Patrick...it's the Pac’Ifist!

SO_Praed says:  Self:  Oh no....  *CSO*:  Praed to Lieutenant Santiago... the bugs are out of control and growing at exponential rates.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Weapons are not armed yet.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Acknowledged.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  *SO*:  Come again!?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CTO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::blinks:: Self: Excellent work? All I did was call the man? I feel like a personal assistant.

CEO_Woo says:  ::notices a power surge:: *SO* Is there a problem down there that engineering should know about?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Enters Bridge::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The other bug begins to head for the door.  The bug drains power from the force field, the door opens and it escapes into the hallway.

SO_Praed says:  *CSO*  I am trapped inside Science Lab One with these two insects.  And they have grown in size.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  It seems there is a problem in one of the labs.

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: Pac’Ifist: IKS Pac’Ifist this is Cmdr. O'Guinn of the USS Huron, reply please.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  *SO*:  How big ?

SO_Praed says:  *CSO*  And one of them has just left the lab.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CSO: What kind of problem?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::walks over to the window and looks out::

Host General Karnack says:  COM: Huron:  This is General Karnack...

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::rings Ready Room bell::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  It seems our bugs have grown.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: Come in......

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::looks at Anita:: CSO: What do you mean grow?

SO_Praed says:  *CEO*  Yes, I have bugs that have gone out of control.  One has left Science Lab One.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  *SO*:  Well Erasmus Step on it!?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Enters:: CO: Sorry I was late, I have been apprising Command of the situation.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  Errrr apparently one is taking a scenic tour of the ship.

SO_Praed says:  *CSO*:  Pardon me, ma'am?

CTO_Ayidee says:  CSO: Do you require assistance?  Security teams are running constant patrols and they could assist if needed.

EO_Hansen says:  ::moves over to another console::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::turns to see the Admiral:: Adm: I understand, please have a seat.

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: Korack: General we apparently have a Klingon that is wanted by the High Council.   Would you care to take him off our hands?

Host CSO_Santiago says:  *SO*:  Squash the critter!

SO_Praed says:  *CSO*:  With what?

CNS_Varesh says:  ::listens to the things around him::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::shakes head:: Self: I need a vacation.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::motions to the chair::

Host General Karnack says:  COM: Huron:  We will take him if that is your wish.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: The delegation that was supposed to meet us has been ambushed and slaughtered. ::sits down::

XO_O`Guinn says:  CSO: I don't care what it takes either kill it or capture it but I want it off the ship.

CEO_Woo says:  *SO* I see... well, I could care less about bugs, but I noticed something strange - a strong power surge where you are - are you alright? ::calls for an emergency team to go meet the SO::

CNS_Varesh says:  XO: Mind if I take the helm? Its been a while...

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  Well call an exterminator...  ::hides::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: I figured as much when I found out that K'lorets is a wanted man.

SO_Praed says:  *CEO*  Yes I’m fine.  *CSO*:  They're about four feet high ma'am.

XO_O`Guinn says:  COM: Korack:  At the moment I would think it would be best.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: O'Guinn to Capt. Sheridan.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  *SO*:  What did you feed them ?   Erasmus, was there any signs of sentient life?

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: Have you had any luck contacting General Chidik of the Task Force?

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: Excuse me Admiral.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CNS: Go ahead Varesh.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Go ahead Patrick.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::smiles like a kid at Christmas:: XO: Thanks.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  Bug one climbs into one of the Jefferies tubes after a terrified crewman runs screaming down the hallway as he comes face to face with it.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *SO*: Can you locate them on sensors and beam them into a holding center?

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::turns and glares at Anita:: CSO: Remind me to have a long talk with you about your humor.

SO_Praed says:  *CSO*:  I had small amounts of energy fed to them..  and to me they seem sentient enough.. they seem to rely on instinct.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  XO:  Aye Sir.

SO_Praed says:  *CTO*:  Negative... the only way they can be detected with scanners is if they consume energy.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::slides into the seat:: CIV: I have the helm. ::taps in his access codes::

EO_Hansen says:  ::checks the status of the shields to see if there's any more work she can do on them::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods and release helm to the CNS::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The science lab goes dark.

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: We have the IKS Pac’Ifist of the port bow. General Korack has agreed to take our guest off our hands.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: I believe Mr. O'Guinn did contact the task force sir.

Host General Karnack says:  COM: Huron:  We will take him then.  Beam him over to these coordinates.

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer Random> ::heads for the science lab with a team to investigate the power surge::

SO_Praed says:  ::Looks around in the dark.::  Self:  This doesn't look good for me.

CTO_Ayidee says:  CEO: Could we give them power through the EPS conduits so we can track them?  Limited "leak" so they don't get much.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::makes a minor adjustment:: CIV: Its been a while... ::Chloe's face flashes through his mind, grinning like a loon::

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer Random> ::walks up to the science lab, but the door doesn't open... activates the manual release::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Then send our "guest" on his way Commander with my thanks to the Pac'Ifist's Captain.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::nods:: CNS: Understandable.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: The Empire has asked him extradited.  Seeing as I have no respect for him or his house at all, I am happy to oblige...but I am leaving you with that call Captain

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: Ma'am and we have a bug from the Sci lab that has escaped apparently it has also grown. Anita is suppose to try to capture it.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  A glow can be seen by the SO from the console.

CEO_Woo says:  CTO: You think that'll lure them, eh? Sure... I can try... ::ah... does so.::

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: Aye ma'am.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::Hears the CO and XO and grins::

SO_Praed says:  Self:  I hope that's not the bug.  ::Scans the console.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: A what?

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer> Anyone In the Lab: Hello? Is anyone in there?

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Transport our guest to the Pac’Ifist please.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  ::looks at the Admiral:: Adm: It never ends does it sir?

CTO_Ayidee says:  CIV: Shields ready to drop for transport on your call.

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer> ::pries the door apart after using the manual release::

Host CSO_Santiago says: ACTION:  A pushing sound against one of the plates on the bridge can be heard.  Its coming from the Jefferies tube.

CEO_Woo says:  ::hears a strange noise; looks around and pulls out a tricorder::

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: A bug ma'am. After it is caught or destroyed I am going to have a long talk with Science about this.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::taps a button:: CIV: And I almost thought our lives were boring... well not quite, and then an energy eating bug that grows to monstrous proportions invade the ship...

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: I'll be there just as soon as I'm finished with the Admiral.

SO_Praed says:  Eng Officer:  I am here.

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Turns to the noise.::  Angeltra:  Take Tactical.  I think we are about to have a visitor.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: you just get used to it

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: Aye ma'am.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Aye Patrick. ::activates transporter and sends our guest to the Pac’Ifist::

EO_Hansen says:  ::shrugs slightly when she sees she can't do much more with the shields and moves on to other minor work that she can do for a while::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:   The plate pops off and the bug slithers onto the bridge.

CEO_Woo says:  Anyone: Does anyone else hear that?

SO_Praed says:  ::Scans the glowing console.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: Sorry sir. Well it seems our troublesome Klingon friend is on his way.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::shivers as the bug enters the bridge::

XO_O`Guinn says:  ::pulls Phaser aims and fires at the bug::

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer> ::pulls out a tricorder to investigate the power failure:: SO: Did you observe anything before the power went out?

CTO_Ayidee says:  ::Tunes Phaser to lowest setting and fires steady stream at the bug.::  CIV: Can the sensors detect it now?

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The shot true... the bug explodes and green goo and guts spray all over the bridge, coating the officers.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: But I do have some issues with you failing to inform me about his character.

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::looks around hearing Phaser fire and screams at the sight of the bug::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: Not a problem. I'm sure everything will fall into place nicely.  How's your shake in with these people been?

SO_Praed says:  Eng. Officer:  The insect was draining power to the console.

Host RADM_Skyler says:  ::listens::

CNS_Varesh says:  ::groans as he's splattered by green goo:: ALL: Oh, razzlefrat!

CEO_Woo says:  ::quite nearly has a heart attack by the shock when the bug slithered out... and exploded all over him:: Oh, my god...! Get the bug stuff off me!

XO_O`Guinn says:  *CO*: One bug exterminated. ::starts wiping face off::

CIV_O`Guinn says:  XO: Thanks a lot Patrick! ::glares::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: The crew seems accepting of me.

CTO_Ayidee says:  XO: Good shot.  I figured it would eat the energy.  ::Starts wiping the goo from his head.::

Host CO_Sheridan says:  *XO*: Thank goodness, well done Commander.

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering officer> ::stares at the SO:: SO: ... Oh. Well, then... for the most part I think the power relays to this room were simply overloaded by something... er, the bug...

CNS_Varesh says:  ::glares over his shoulder and has to swerve or they sideswipe the BoP::

Host RADM_Skyler says:  CO: that's good ::smiles::

SO_Praed says:  Eng. Officer:  Yes.  That's the obvious conclusion.

XO_O`Guinn says:  CIV: Get some one up here to clean this mess up please Shannon.

Host CO_Sheridan says:  Adm: Why was I not informed about K'lorets when you first recognized him?

CIV_O`Guinn says:  ::sends a call to maintenance to send a cleaning crew up:: XO: Done Patrick.

CNS_Varesh says:  ::disgust emanates from him so the Admiral and Captain can sense it::

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering Officer> ::glares at the SO; calls for the others to start repairing and replacing the relays::

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The second bug climbs off the console.  All glowing  it walks to the engineering officer and eats him.

CTO_Ayidee says:  *SO*: The creatures are unable to absorb Phaser fire.  If needed, they can be killed.

SO_Praed says:  ::Can't believe what he's just seen.::

SO_Praed says:  *CTO*  It would help if I had a Phaser.

CEO_Woo says:  <Engineering officer> ::disappears into the bug without a sound...::

CTO_Ayidee says:  *SO*: Where are you?  Have you located the second creature yet?

SO_Praed says:  Insect:  Wait! Stop what you are doing.  We are not here to harm you.

Host CSO_Santiago says:  ACTION:  The bug approaches the SO.
