Star Trek: A Call To Duty – USS Huron
Season Six, Episode Fifteen (Mission #230)
“Beyond Argonia II, Part 10”
Stardate 10502.19

Mission Summary
	Q3 helps the Huron by moving them closer to Argon 2.  However when they arrive, the Huron crew find that there is no instability with the planet and there are no lives to save but the Admiral’s.  They were led on a wild goose chase.  The XO turns the ship around and follows the transwarp signature in hopes to rescue their Admiral.  
	As the CTO prepares the tactical/security department for deployment, the CIV meets with the XO to discuss her plans to counter the Borg.  The “female” crew begin to exhibit signs of nausea, obviously at the hand of Q3.  But what they do not know is why.  The CMO is called to the bridge to treat the command staff, while sickbay is flooded with an epidemic of nauseated crew members.  The CMO uses a tricorder to scan the crew members, administering medicines for the nausea.  After several scans are performed, the CMO discovers the new-“female” members of the crew are all pregnant.  To make matters worse, the XO is told he is pregnant with triplets.   
	In an effort to thwart Q3’s plans, the XO decides to bring the Huron to a full-stop.  To counter the XO’s reaction, sensors pick up a Borg Cube.  Shortly thereafter the Huron is boarded and 10 crew members are abducted by the Borg.  The question now is, do they abandon their friends or go after the Borg in hopes they can make a successful recapture without being assimilated.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Down in astrometrics, updating the star charts for their current area, while putting together a report about the area of the transwarp signature.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, checking weapons before distribution.::  *Bee*:  Look, I know the weapons were checked before they were put in the lockers, but I want them double checked BEFORE they get handed out.  Get them back and make sure the nutation settings are correct.  Jeez, just do it.  We have 15 hours, plenty of time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::At the main engineering console looking over possible routes to try and bypass the usual com channels.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Sitting on the bridge in the big chair.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sitting at the console, humming to him/herself.::  Self:  Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window, let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::In main engineering, running diagnostics on the weapons and shields in the event of an attack... as he muses over possible methods to siphon extra power into SIF if necessary.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Sitting in sickbay, going over the latest medical news.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Going over the latest news on hormones and roles they play in Starfleet.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::On her way to the Ready Room.  Dressed in urban gray camouflage, carrying her TR-116 with attached grenade launcher, Klingon disruptor, and a titanium katana on her back.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::She sits comfortably on top of a console, lotus style, in the dark room, the only sound the tapping of commands onto her padd.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
Self:  Hmm, that's an interesting topic.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Checks the last Phaser in Bridge locker, takes them out and starts handing them out.::  
All:  You know the drills, a pair of shots from these at most.  Make them count.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Realizes what he's doing and sighs, looks around and hopes no-one heard him.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He looks over his shoulder.::  Engineer:  You're standing too close.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Walks out of turbolift and over to the command chair.::  XO:  Ensign Hembrook reporting as ordered, Sir. ::Salutes at attention.::

Host Q3 says:
::Appears in the chair next to the XO.::  XO:  So where we headed?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Stands.::  CIV:  At ease, Ensign.  Let's go have a little talk.  ::Turns to the FCO.::  FCO:  You have the bridge.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Follows the XO.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Continues to read the topic on her screen .. Interspecies breeding.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Back after that cube you brought over here, Q. ::Steps towards the Ready Room.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods and gets up.::  XO:  Aye, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I've been thinking, if we want to catch a Borg, what if we "laid out" some traps?

Engineer says:  
::Frowns, and backs off slowly.::  EO:  With all due respect, Sir...

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Taps the console and watches the data scroll across the screen.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Steps into the RR, and around to his chair.::  CIV:  Have a seat, Ensign.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Goes to the Big Chair [TM] and sits down.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Shakes her head with a sigh.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO:  I prefer to stand Sir, thank you.  ::Moves in front of his desk.::

Host Q3 says:
::Looks at the FCO.::  FCO:  Sheesh, a few too many desserts?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He turns around, clicking his tongue a few times.::  Engineer:  Okay.  From here, to the other end of Main Engineering, there must be a separation of about, oh, nine meters?  And that's directly across.  From here to the console right next to me, which is the one you're working at, there's a separation of one point five meters.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
MO Harris:  Can you come here please?  I'd like you to deliver something to our counselor's office, if you will.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Sighs rather loudly.::  CIV:  So, what equipment will you need from us, Ensign?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Glances up sharply.::  Q3:  What?  Another one making fun of my weight?  ::Sniffles.::  That is SO not fair!

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
Engineer:  So, there is plenty of room. Just... move off.  Anywhere.  I don't care, as long as you're working... speaking of which, do me a favor and run these sets of simulations for me. ::Hands him a padd nonchalantly as he turns back towards his monitor.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
*FCO*:  Commander Roznine, I have a report ready for the Vigarin system.

Host Q3 says:
FCO:  My, my, the hormones have really taken their effect on you.

MO_Harris says:  
CMO:  Sure, Sydney.  What can I do for you?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  If we wanted to make the Borg notice us, do you think we could kind of magnify and alter our power output signature?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Leans on the console wondering if these numbers are correct.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sniffles.::  *SO*:  Thank you, Ensign.  Send it up to the helm and the Command chair will you?  ::Glances at Q3.::  Q3:  No thanks to you.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO:  Mostly just the shuttle, some ordinance from the torpedo magazine to modify for decoys, and some miscellaneous electronic parts to modify the ECM jammers, Sir.  We have most of the rest.  Oh, and a case of breaching charges.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  You want them to notice us?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
MO Harris:  Could you make sure Randi McIntyre's assistant, Marie, gets this padd with the information on it, please?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Frowns.::  *FCO*:  Is everything all right, Sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Raises her head and gives Icky a puzzled look.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*SO*:  Yes, thanks, just Q3 making fun of this body he gave me.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  They have at least a 15 hour head start and a propulsion system we can't match if they don't want to be caught.  If we give them a prize worth taking, they might come back to us.

Host Q3 says:
FCO:  Well, how about I give you and some of the others reason to put on that extra weight, hmm?

MO_Harris says:
CMO:  Sure will, Ma'am.  ::Takes the padd and heads out the door to the counseling office.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Nods.::  CIV:  Very well then.  We will go ahead with your plan.  Do you have a contingency plan if the Borg will not drop out of warp?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Q3:  I don't like the sound of that.  Please don't think that!

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
*FCO*:  Pardon my saying this sir, but you should not pay attention to what the Q says.  You have a fine body... ummm... the one you had will be back soon enough too.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  It's not a problem to modify our power output, even an ensign could handle that.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*SO*:  Thanks, Crystal... you know what to say.  ::Glares darkly at Q3.::

Engineer says:
::Grabs the padd and walks off, a little dazed.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  But could we make it look special, something they couldn't pass up.

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  The XO, FCO, CTO and EO are suddenly overcome with a sense of nausea.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Clutches the arms of the command chair.::  Q3:  What did you do?!  ::Tries very hard to hold onto his lunch.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO: The only thing I can think of, Sir, is either to somehow get into the transwarp corridor with them, or use some sort of focused blast wave on the proper frequency in front of them and try to disrupt the corridor and force them back into normal space again.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Feels a little woozy and puts a hand to his..her.. stomach.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
*FCO*:  Comes from being a twin I guess.  Sending the information up.  If you have any questions, let me know.  And do you want me back up on the bridge?

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO:  Are you all right Sir?

MO_Harris says:
::Makes her way to the counselor's office, entering, and handing the padd to Marie.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  I don't know Icky.  ::Sees him and other ladies turning green.::  All:  Ladies, are you all right?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Oh, I don't feel so well.  Uh, one second.

Host Q3 says:
FCO:  Perhaps you should see the Dr. about that.  You don't look so good.  ::grins::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*SO*:  As soon as you can make it, I suddenly feel not so good.  I think I have to get to sickbay.  ::Swallows very hard.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Suddenly feels a bit woozy, and his field of vision starts to spin slightly as he clutches onto the side of the console for a second until he can overcome the nausea.::  Self: ... Ugh...

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Gets a sudden feeling she's going to get really busy in a few minutes.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Nods.::  CIV:  Very well, Ensign.  I have informed the CTO and CEO to.. help you with anything that you need.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Glares at Q3 again.::  Q3:  I should toss my cookies on your boots.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Groans a little, feeling like she's going to throw up.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO:  I read the order Sir, thank you. Will there be anything else?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*:  Sickbay, we need a medical team up here, now!

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*CEO*:  Ma'am?  Everything okay?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
*FCO*:  I am on my way up, Sir.  ::Unfolds her legs and jumps down from the console.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Grabs a medical kit, and takes the TL to the bridge, without hesitation.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CMO*:  Sydney... I'm coming to see you.  Nausea just hit me and I think Q3 is toying with us.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Takes a moment to shut down the room, before leaving the now deeply dark room.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*:  Not exactly.  All of the female officers are feeling ill.

Engineer says:
::Looks back and sees the EO sliding against the console.::  EO:  Sir?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*FCO/CEO*:  Are you both on the bridge?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*:  Affirmative, Doctor.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::He holds up a hand, and closes his eyes for a second... until he... she... can begin to control it, and then takes a deep breath.::  Engineer:  I'm fine, it's okay.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Leans over, grabbing a trash can.::  CIV:  No.. nothing else, Ensign.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Steps into the turbolift wondering what could have come upon the FCO so quickly.::  Computer:  Bridge.

Host Q3 says:
::Stands up.::  FCO:  Well, you look a bit indisposed at the moment.  I shall take my leave.  ::disappears::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  His games keep getting easier to deal with...sort of.  ::Grabs the console.::  These Q need some direction.

Engineer says:
EO:  Maybe you should see a doctor.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Stands, and makes her way to the bridge, trash can in hand.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*CEO/FCO*:  Stay put, please.  I will come to the bridge.  What's the problem?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Looks at the FCO.::  FCO:  You, too?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Steps from the lift onto the bridge to see the FCO looking rather poorly.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Mutters a particularly vile curse from his clubbing days at Q's disappearing form.::  CEO: Holly, I think you have the bridge.  ::Gets up and stumbles to the bridge head.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
XO:  You should see if the med kit has a hypospray with an intestinal sedative or an anti-emetic Sir.  I'll be in the hangar getting our stuff ready if you need me. ::Heads for the turbolift.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves over to the tactical console.::  CTO:  You really need to see the doctor, Icky.  You look awful.  ::Grabs her arm to steady her,::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Over his shoulder.::  XO:  Aye, Sir.  And if you don't want a cleaning crew up here... ::the doors swish closed behind him.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
Engineer:  No!  It's all... all... ::he proceeds to calmly vomit all over the engineer's shoes:: Okay.  You win.  Hold the fort while I'm gone... ::Rushes off towards the turbolift, quickly hopping in.::  Turbolift:  Sickbay... now......

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Makes her way with a med kit to the bridge, taking the TL to the bridge.::  Self:  Now what did Little Q do now?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  You got it Roz.  ::Turns back to Icky.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CMO*:  Doctor... I hope you're in sickbay right now... I need to... to see you right away... ::insert vomiting noises here::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Steps back into the Ready Room, clearly feeling not capable of being able to take the bridge, and vomits into the trash can::

MO_Harris says:
*CMO*:  Sydney, there appears to be an epidemic.  There are a lot of officers coming into sickbay with signs of nausea.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks over at the CEO questioningly.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Very glad he got the head first and proceeds to be noisily sick.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I wish I could disagree, but you may be right.  Remind me next time Q-less shows up that punching him in the back of the face isn't a good ting to try.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*EO*:  Lieutenant, you have a choice.  Go to sickbay and be treated by the MO, or you can meet me on the bridge if you're not there already.

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  Reports start coming in from all decks from personnel with the same symptoms.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Strike Team Omega gathers all our gear and congregates around the Type-10 shuttle, modifying electronics, prepping charges, and making mini-torpedoes into sensor decoys, waiting for the go-code to launch.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
MO Harris:  Ensign, deal with it.  Give them something for the nausea.  I'll be down to help as soon as possible.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CMO*:  I'm on... on my way... Turbolift:  Bridge...

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Watches as the various male, now female crew become ill.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Makes her way off the TL and onto the bridge.::  Self:  Where do I start?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Takes a deep breath... and calms down.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO:  Over here doctor.  I think the chief can use something for his.. er her nausea.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Shakily gets to his feet and walks back onto the bridge.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grips the sides of the console hard, closing eyes, wishing I hadn't seen Angeltra dropping over in the ready station.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Sits up for a minute, only to have to double over back into the trash can as another wave of nausea hits her.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Watches as the doors slide open on the bridge, as he... she... slowly moves forward, looking around and noticing that a number of people seem to be ill as well.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Heads over to the CTO.::  CTO:  What's going on here, Commander?  When did these symptoms start?  ::Runs a medical tricorder over him.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Makes his way to the replicator.::  Computer:  Mint lozenges, ::glances over his shoulder:: make that about a dozen of them.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Staying out of the way unless needed,  logs onto the science console and runs through the telemetry of the past hour.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Moves back to the bridge, and flops down in the big chair, waiting for the CMO.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Takes one of the lozenges and puts it in his mouth.::  Self:  Momma's remedies.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Looks at the SO.::  SO:  What do you have on the cube, Ensign?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO:  I'm not sure about the first officer.  She may be suffering the same symptoms.  ::Looks over his shoulder.::  Yep, she is.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO:  Wish...wish I knew what was happening.  One of Q's games.  ::Forces a weak smile.::  They seem to be getting easier to deal with.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  Chief... I'm sorry. I didn't feel well, I had to leave my post...

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Gives him a hypospray for the nausea.::  CTO: This should help .. a little.  For now, it's the best I can do.  It's going to take about 30 minutes to work.  ::Hands him a waste basket.::  Here .. take this.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO:  Thanks.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
EO:  So what are you doing here?  You should be in sickbay.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Looks perplexed at the scans.::  Self:  Flu?  Virus?  Hmm?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Glances over to the XO.::  XO:  Nothing further, Sir.  I have sent a report to Commander Roznine of the system the signature is located in.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Takes the rest of the lozenges and goes to the XO.::  XO:  Here, take one, Sir.  It will help settle your stomach.  ::Goes to the rest of the "women" on the bridge and hands one to each.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Runs the scans again.::  Self:  Must be the scanners aren't calibrated for Andorians.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  I know... I wanted to be seen by Dr. Logan, and she said she was coming up here... if you want me to go down to Sickbay...

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
XO:  The report is on the Command chair's console, Sir.  ::Swallows as another wave of nausea hits.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
EO:  Well since you're here already I guess you better stay for now.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Heads over to the XO and FCO.  Notices the EO out of the corner of her eye.::  EO: Lieutenant, over here, please.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Takes the lozenge and looks down at the report.::  SO:  Any idea why they're just sitting there?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Takes a lozenge from the FCO, and heads over to Dr. Logan.::  CMO:  Fix me... now... please...

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO:  Doctor, just confirm what I suspect please?  Q3 said something, and I will bash his face in if it’s true.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Fills a hypospray and injects the XO, FCO and EO with anti-nausea meds.  Grabs the lozenges out of the XO's hands and swats them on the floor.::  XO:  No!  Bad!  Don't take those.  It will make you worse!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO:  I beg your pardon?  My mother used these with each of us.  It works... trust me.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
XO:  As it was suggested earlier, what we are possibly looking at, is the entrance to a conduit.  Why there I don't know.  But before we discovered we were no longer needed, it is where I located a planet for settlement; a rather nice one.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Runs a scan on the FCO, XO, and EO.::  FCO:  Trust me.  It will not work.  At least not on this strain of the flu.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Lets the CMO inject him, and waits till she's distracted.  Then picks back up the lozenges, popping one into his mouth.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CMO:  Well, what strain of flu is this??

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Blinks.::  CMO:  Flu?!  Check your scans again, Doctor.  A woman knows her body.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks over to the XO.::  XO:  Sir, shall I have us hold this position until all the ladies are feeling better?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  No, we're not going to let him stop us.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
Self:  Hmm?  What the ..?  ::Gives a look of puzzlement  on her face.  Notices the XO popping another lozenge into his mouth.::  XO: Don't say I didn't warn you.  If this is what I think it is, well let's just say those lozenges will be making you do a few extra bathroom stops.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods::  XO:  Of course not, Sir.  I'll make sure we stay on course.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All:  Good thing about pushing to get Tactical systems ready the last few hours.  At least my stomach's empty.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CMO:  Doctor?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Eyes Sydney.::  CMO:  Isn't it strange that this "flu" just hits us ladies?  ::Swallows against the nausea again.::

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Modifying mini-torpedoes into sensor decoys that will simulate the Type-10 shuttle if needed.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Grabs the rest of the lozenges out of the FCO's hands.::  FCO:  Don't take any more of those.  I'm telling you, you're going to regret it.  ::Continues to scan them.::  Out loud:  I've never seen anything like this before.  What virus is this?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO:  Well when you're dealing with Q, anything is possible.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  Keep us on our course to the Vigarin system, and ensure the ship wide lockdown gets put out. I'll be in my Ready Room.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  I need a computer, Sir.  One with access to medical systems, if you will.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I know the answer is yes, but are the Inertial Dampeners operating right?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Pouts and grabs for the lozenges.::  CMO:  Does the phrase:  "Like cow or countess" mean anything to you?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Stands and shakily walks to the RR.::  CMO:  Use.. the hand console on the chair.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves back to the doctor's side.::  CMO:  Any idea how long the exec is going to be out of it?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO:  Don't worry, Sir.  I don't think what you have is contagious .. at least not unless you're drinking the water.  ::giggles.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Walks into the RR, and goes to the seat as the door closes behind him.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sits down at the helm, unable to trust his legs anymore.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Realizing the first officer is overwhelmed as is, she turns back to her station.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO:  Cow or countess?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
CEO:  Actually, he should be starting to feel better, but the full effects of the anti-nausea medicine will take about 1/2 hour.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Out loud:  Q.. Oh Q!  I know you're here...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CMO:  Doctor... so, what should we do in the meantime?

Host Q3 says:
::Appears in the RR.::  XO:  You bellowed?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO:  Just check your scans and I'll explain.  ::What Q3 said starts to sink in completely.::  All: Tell me he didn't!!!  ::Groans and slumps in his chair.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Hands the EO a bucket.::  EO:  Sit, don't eat, and by all means, do NOT take any of those lozenges.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Smiles::  Q3:  Have a seat, Q.. let's talk..

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks sympathetically over at the helms man.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Shrugs, and takes the bucket.::

Host Q3 says:
XO:  Why Lieutenant, you don't look so good.  What is it?  ::Trying his best to look concerned.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves from lady to lady checking on them.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  How are you feeling now?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Notices the FCO slumping in his chair.::  FCO:  You okay?  Don't worry.  You should be starting to feel better soon.  Need a bucket?  ::Tries hard not to grin.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  I... will be returning to main engineering now, chief.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Nauseous and ready to hit Q3.  He said something about a reason for putting on weight. In my mind that means one thing... and its NOT flu!  ::Glares at Sydney.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Continues another scan on the FCO.::  FCO:  Well, if my suspicions are correct, ...

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Q, don't play games with me.  You know you did this, and I know you did this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
EO:  Are you feeling well enough dear?  ::Smiles at her sweetly.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
EO:  Lieutenant?  You may want to stick around for the diagnosis.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  Probably, I feel a lot... ::vomits on the CEO's shoes:: ... better now.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
EO:  This could get .. shall we say .. interesting?

Host Q3 says:
XO:  Why whatever do you mean?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO/CTO/EO:  All right boys, or should I say .. girls.  You all need to sit down now because you are all .. ::hesitates for a moment.:: pregnant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks down and then glares at her.::  EO:  Add this to your shift.....two extra hours!

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Mysteriously all of a sudden you make all the now-females on the ship sick, Q?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Looks down::  CEO:  Um... I'm sorry, that wasn't... ::she slowly turns to look to the CMO:: CMO:  I beg your pardon?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks at the doctor with wide eyes.  One Q, many Q-lings?::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO:  And you said the lozenges won't work?!  My mother used them through 5 pregnancies, and it worked wonders.

Host Q3 says:
XO:  Oh, you'll soon get over the sickness.......I'd say in about your second trimester!  ::chuckles to himself::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO:  Remind me to thank his Royal Pain in the Q-ness.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
CFO:  You are about 10 weeks pregnant, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Stares at the doctor.::  CMO:  You must be kidding.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Stop this nonsense.. now.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Mutters something vile again.::  CMO:  As for the cow or countess comment... the gestation period for bovines and humans are the same.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
EO:  Lieutenant, congratulations.  You are a whopping 13 weeks pregnant.  The Q has been kind to you.  Your nausea should end in shall we say a week or two?

Host Q3 says:
XO:  Oh, but that wouldn't be fair to your FCO.  She looked so depressed at her size.  I'm just trying to help her self esteem.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
CTO:  And Commander, your fun is just beginning.  You are only 4 weeks pregnant.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CMO:  But... but... surely there's something you can do?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
CEO:  Nope.  I am absolutely not kidding.  They are all pregnant.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Gives him some relative good news.::  FCO:  The area is clear.  Everything is quiet.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Fine.. have it your way.  *CEO*:  Stop the ship, Commander.  We're not going anywhere until Q reverses what he's done.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO:  Well let's hope there's only one in there then.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO:  Besides send Q a summons for a Paternity Suit?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Your move, Q.  I'm sick of your childish little games.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Hearing the order looks to the ceiling thinking to Q's a century is no more then an hour to them.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO:  Oh, joy.  Another 30 weeks of "fun".  I'll be sure to send my mother an announcement. ::Smiles at Crystal.::  SO:  Thanks... at least that's off my shoulders.

Host Q3 says:
::Snaps his fingers and a projection of the Admiral appears.::  XO:  Oh, are you absolutely sure you want to do that.  I will tell you, that the Borg are very real and they do have your Admiral.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Whispers to the FCO.::  FCO: I don't know what you're complaining about.  The XO is pregnant with triplets.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks sympathetically.:: FCO:  Your welcome sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes the vomit off her shoes and shakes her head.::  SO:  You realize that no work is going to get done now, don't you?

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  The projection of the Admiral now shows Borg nanites now being injected into him.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Whispers back.::  CMO:  How do I tell my mother that the father is a Q?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Q3:  Reverse the pregnancies and the gender change and I'll resume course.. not until.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
FCO:  And he is .. er .. she is only 6 weeks pregnant.  This could get interesting.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Giggles at the FCO comment.::  FCO:  Maybe she won't notice.

Host Q3 says:
XO:  It's your decision.  ::disappears::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Rings the door chime to the XO's Ready Room.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO: ... I think I'm going to be sick.  13 weeks?  What the heck does that mean???

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
Out loud:  No, Q.  It's your decision.  What are you afraid of?  That if you don't reverse this stuff we'll actually win your stupid little game?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Angrily.::  CMO:  Enter!

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Overhears the EO comment.::  EO:  It means you get two more trimesters of fun.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
EO:  It means, start preparing to become a mother dear.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CMO:  Well, no, I won't have it, I'll be seeing you in the sickbay a little later, this is ridiculous, who does Q think he is???

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*CEO*:  Stop the ship, Commander.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Continues supervising preparations of the shuttle and mission gear... is going to be ready to launch on no-notice.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Aye, Sir.  Right away.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
EO:  I'm not sure there's anything you or I can do at this point.  ::Enters not sure if she should.::  XO:  If this is a bad time .. well ::points to the door:: I could come back?  I thought .. well I thought I would explain what is happening.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Looks around.::  CEO:  Suddenly I want strawberries.  Fresh strawberries, dripping with cream.  And black pepper.  And ice-cream.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO:  No, come in, come in.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*FCO*:  Is the type 10 shuttle ready?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Orders the helm to stop the ship.::  FCO:  Roz, did you hear that order?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*XO*:  Let me check, Sir.  I had the crews work on that. ::Taps the console.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Great, so now I have a Reptile who likes the cold, a Sehlat who likes the heat, and now children?  I hope they don't mind 10 degrees, or I'll really tax the environmental systems.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  Commander, you will bring the Huron to a full stop, now!

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CEO:  Not to be rude or anything ma'am, but with the entire crew affected, do we consider the male members still within their right minds?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Closes the comm.::  CMO:  So what can I do for you?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Uhm, no... sorry  I didn't hear that.  ::Enters the commands.::  All stop.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  I'm glad you're sitting down.  I have the diagnosis of the scans.  I'm not sure if you want to hear it.  Q3 decided to give you 3 children.  You are pregnant Sir.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO:  Three?!?  Three?!?  ::sighs::  CMO:  Very well...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
CEO:  Okay... now I'm really going to head down for ME... sorry about your shoes, again...

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles over at Icky.::  CTO:  No time to worry about that.  We have to find a way to rid ourselves of this Q before he gets us into more trouble.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Ada.::  EO:  I'll let it go this time.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*XO*:  The shuttle was prepped before Q decided to play, Sir.

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  Sensors pick up another Borg cube approaching the Huron.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*FCO*:  Very well.  Keep me informed if Q decides to play.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  CEO:  Yes, Ma'am, just trying to lighten the mood.  In a strange way, I think it would make the Q anno...uh oh.  Borg Cube approaching the Huron.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
FCO:  Sorry, Sir, I am picking up a Borg vessel on sensors.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Waits for the turbolift, as he grips onto the wastebasket... and overhears as the CTO says that a Borg cube's approaching.::  Self:  Great...

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  Well it gets better, Sir.  You are only 6 weeks pregnant.  Being pregnant with three, well let's just say your sickness will be around for a while.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
SO:  I need some answers here.  In your opinion are the females on this ship capable of doing their jobs?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  But the good news is that the anti-nausea medicine should be starting to work soon.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks to the CEO confused about who to report to.::  CEO:  The Borg cube has a different signature from the one we were last following.  It is coming towards us from aft, intercept course.  They are coming in fast.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Evasive maneuvers loaded.  ::Shudders as the nausea hits again, not as bad as before, but noticeable.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
SO:  How far away is the Borg?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  One more thing, Sir.  Those lozenges will give you diarrhea.  Don't take them anymore.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
*XO*:  Sir, shuttle has been loaded, gear and ordnance is modified, Strike Team is ready to deploy.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Permission to take us to Red Alert?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CMO:  Good, Doctor.  Sounds like you'd better see to the rest of the crew.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Her hands flying over the console she swallows hard.::  CEO:  They will be her in two minutes...

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Icky.::  CTO:  Do it!

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Steps out onto the bridge.::  CEO:  I thought I said STOP the ship, Commander?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CEO:  1minute, 30 seconds...

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  If you need anything .. anything at all .. Self:  Hypospray, garbage pail, more lozenges.  XO: .. just let me know.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks over at her with a touch of fear in her eyes.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Fingers fly over the console, the nausea forgotten.::  CEO/XO:  Are we moving, or become Borg bait?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  We have stopped, Sir, but now we have a Borg cube headed our way.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Activates Red Alert.::  *Security*:  Round 2, get ready to rock the living dead again.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Follows the XO onto the bridge.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  Oh... well why didn't you say so?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  I'm getting us out of here.....with your permission.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Nods::  CEO:  Of course.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CEO:  45 seconds and closing...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Gets off the turbolift and rushes into main engineering, watching as people start to get into action.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*MO*:  Ensign, how are things going down there?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  Roz, get us moving.......best warp speed at your convenience.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Maximum warp, aye.  ::Hits the controls.::

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  The Borg drop out of warp and the Huron is immediately boarded in several departments by drones.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Sits in the extra chair, watching the CEO in charge.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  Full evasives.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Swallows hard.::  CEO:  They are...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
SO:  Any kind of hiding zone in the immediate area?  Asteroids, nebula, fleet of Klingon Battle cruisers looking for a fight?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Evasive pattern, Delta.

MO_Harris says:
CMO:  Giving them a shot of anti-nausea, but Syd .. I need to talk to you.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CEO:  Here... multiple intruders throughout the ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Security*/ XO:  We have multiple intruders, dispatching teams now!

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Nods::  CTO:  Very well... CEO:  I have the bridge, see what you can do to lockdown Main Engineering.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Takes a moment for the CTO’s question to penetrate.  Turns and pulls up charts of the area.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Watches as his sensors go off; he turns around and sees two Borg.::  All:  Weapons!  ::He digs under a console and rummages for a phaser.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*All*:  This is Lt. Commander Sparks.  We have been boarded by the Borg.  Take all defensive measures.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Overhears the CTO's comment, and pulls out the hypospray the CTO requested days before, just in case.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Attempts to lock Transporters on a Borg in ME to beam it into space.::

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  Each of the Borg grab someone from the ship and are transported off.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CTO:  Sir, there is an asteroid field in the Tuma system about 5 minutes from here.  The system is dead, its sun exploded eons ago.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  Also.. lock out the computer core to senior staff only.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Gets her team ready for CQB (Close Quarters Battle)::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Main Engineering*:  This is Sparks.  Lock down main engineering and the main computer core now!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Whacks console.::  XO:  Borg boarders have left, sensors show 10 crew members MIA.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Overhears the SO, and then overhears the CTO.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Watches as the Borg grab an engineer, as they are beamed off.::  *Bridge*:  Bridge, the Borg have just taken off with two engineers from Main Engineering...

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
*MO*:  I know what you're going to say, Ensign.  Just keep your comments to yourself for now.  We have a bit of a situation here.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CTO:  Very well.. suggestions Commander?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  I've got several men on it right now... ::Moves next to the other engineers, and works with them to lock down the computer core.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sits quietly and keeps the ship headed after the other Borg cube, since they ARE at warp anyway.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
*CIV*:  We just lost 10 men to the Borg.. prepare to launch your team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Taps the console again.::  *EO*:  Ada, can you secure engineering and the core?

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
*XO*:  Ready to launch when you say, Sir.

Host Q3 says:
ACTION:  The Borg cube powers up and goes to warp.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CTO:  Any idea how they transported through our shields?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
::Winces::  *CEO*:  We are working on it, Sir.  Main engineering is secure, still working on the core.

MO_Harris says:
*CMO*:  Aye, Ma'am.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Can't say I have a good one, Sir.  If we go after the 10, we'll likely loose the chance to go after the Admiral unless we change tactics.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Pulls up the names of the 10 missing.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*EO*:  Well get a move on it girly.  I'm not going to let any Borg access my core.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
*CEO*:  Okay, okay!  I'm sorry, Chief, but I'm working as fast as I can.... there, it's done... ::sob.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Walks over to the SO.::  SO:  You doing okay?

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
FCO:  Where's that cube headed?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Catching incoming comms, doesn't know what to say to the families asking about their missing relatives.  Turns to look a bit wide-eyed at the doctor.::  CMO:  I don't know what to tell them.  What do I say?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Glances over his/her shoulder and keeps the ship moving until the XO orders them to stop again.::  XO:  Checking heading now, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  As for the shields, Borg technology is way ahead of ours.  I'd bet it's not the first time they beamed through the shields.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
SO:  For now, we don't know much .. Missing in Action maybe?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CMO:  Will you take the comms?  I am just an ensign science officer.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
XO:  Sir, that cube is heading in the opposite direction from the one we are chasing.

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Smiles at her.::  SO:  Me too, but sure.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
::Nods and settles back into his seat.::

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::A touch of relief, motions to the other station and relays the comms to it.::  CMO:  Thank you Ma'am.  You would know what to say better then I.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
XO:  Which one do we follow, Sir?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
SO:  Aye.  It's going to be okay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Sir, I recommend we leave that cube alone.  We're not going to be able to defend against it.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  Then what do you suggest, Commander?

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
::Sits down at the station answering the incoming communications, responding to them with the little information she has right now .. Missing in Action.::

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
CEO:  Go home?  Let our 10 crew and Admiral Knight die?

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Catching the rise in the first officers voice, turns to look at the pair who hold the fate of the missing crew in their hands.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  They're dead already, Sir.  ::Lowers his head.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
SO:  I am hoping that after Q has had his fun with us, that all will go back to the way things were.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
::Looks over at the doctor, her voice sadly quiet.::  CMO:  Is that possible, Ma'am?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  If we go after them then we'll all die.

XO_Lt_Marsland says:
FCO:  All stop, Commander.  CTO:  Maintain Red Alert.

CIV_Ens_Hembrook says:
::Stands by in the shuttle, ready to launch, waiting for orders with her team.::

CMO_Sydney_Logan says:
SO:  Honestly?  I'm not sure, but I hope so.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: The Doc's got a point.  If this was real Borg, we'd have been in contact with Starfleet hours ago.

SO_Ens_Jewel says:
CMO:  How real are those pregnancies?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Stops the ship again.::  XO:  All stop, aye.  ::Turns.::  Just one thing, Sir.  Q is herding us towards the cube with the Admiral. Keeping up the fight against him will end with all of us as drones, dead or mothers.  Stop being so pig-headed and follow that cube.  ::Glares at him.::
