<EO Entellegent> *OPS* Excuse me, Mr. Kerst, I know you're busy and everything, but I feel that we must let Doctor Kappler know where her quarters are.  Would you know?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sips her tea and watches the Admiral::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns his attention to the Admiral with a smile, feels happy that the Admiral is back::

CNS_Toni says:
::Looking toward Admiral Ferrone::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches Admiral, wonders what's up::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: I am sure you will be overly enthused to know that I have been reassigned here as this sector's Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods with a smile::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL:  In reality, this sector as well as several other neighboring sectors.

XO_Hicks says:
::Folds his arms and looks to the Admiral::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: However, that is besides my point in being here.  ::Takes a slow stroll around the Briefing Room::

CTO_Marek says:
::Stares at the Admiral::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks: Here it comes::

CNS_Toni says:
::Listening intently::

Dr_Kappler says:
::Sighs and leaves engineering and goes off back to the docking bay::

EO_Freddy says:
<EO Entellegent> Doc: You know, Operations officers here suck.  Hey, wait!

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: In one day, we will have an opportunity to solidify some kind of a foothold in the Gamma Quadrant.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Listens to the Admiral::

Dr_Kappler says:
::Ends up in the wrong place again::

CTO_Marek says:
::This is getting more and more interesting::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: We will be receiving delegates from the Dahr'Ma and the Ferengi.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods and listens to the Admiral then looks at the others in the room.  Turns his attention back to the Admiral::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: That in itself is the problem.  The Ferengi can seriously foul things up.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods as she listens to the Admiral::

CNS_Toni says:
::Shutters to think of those nasty Ferengi::

XO_Hicks says:
::I can attest to that fact::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Smiles and continues his stroll, looking at the newly promoted officers in particular::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs quietly to himself as he knows::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the word "Dominion" well up in the back of his mind, hopes the new Borg technology will be enough to deal with them::

CTO_Marek says:
Self: Ferengi always do.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Watches as the Admiral strolls around the room, already thinking of how the station will have to adapt to the Ferengi on board::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
ALL: They will be arriving here in about a day.  I would like for us....

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: Cutting off the Admiral's speech, the red alert klaxon sounds.

Dr_Kappler says:
::Wonders if all those from far away will have this problem with Federation and it's culture.  Shrugs and goes in a bar and plops down on a bar stool::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches the Admiral and wonders what else::

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Team> ::Manage to finish with the transfusions, also giving Freddy a new brain::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands quickly:: All: To your stations!  Move!  ::Rushes out of the Briefing Room into Ops::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks up as he hears the red alert::

XO_Hicks says:
All: Stations!!!  ::Heads to Ops::

CTO_Marek says:
::Jumps of his seat:: Self:: What!?

Dr_Kappler says:
::Looks up as red lights flash in the hall::

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks in wonderment as Admiral stops in mid sentence:

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Is jolted again as the surroundings gain a red tint, stands and rushes into Ops::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Heads to Ops with the rest of the crew::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Jumps up, heads for station::

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs to tactical station::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands in front of the command chair:: All: Report!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Jumps up and then grabs his Duty PADD.  Taps a few commands into it.  Then quickly exits the Briefing room, heading to Station Operations::

CMO_Tae says:
::Gets to her feet and heads to the turbolift to get to Sickbay::

::Stands and leaves the Briefing Room::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Quickly stands and run out of the Briefing Room and to Flight Control::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Gets to main science and scans the area::

MO_Sovok says:
::Stands up and walks quickly to the turbolift behind the CMO::

CTO_Marek says:
::Puts security grid sensors on his console screen::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Begins sensor sweeps of the entire sector::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Runs toward OPS and stands next to the Captain then turns and heads toward the second tactical station::

EO_Freddy says:
::Sits up after the short operation.  Notices he doesn't have spots:: Med Team: Uh... where did my spots go?

Dr_Kappler says:
Bartender: What’s with these new lights?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, subspace anomalies, approximately 2 kilometers away.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Sir, on my end ship are safely docked, there is no problem on that side!

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Quietly looking at the crew waiting for reports::

CTO_Marek says:
::Powering up long-range and short-range tactical sensors::

CMO_Tae says:
MO: Hopefully we'll be ready before any casualties come in.

CTO_Marek says:
::Focus the sensors on the anomaly::

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Team> Rest of the people: It worked perfectly.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Watches as the Red Alert automated diagnostics are completed:: CO: Station’s systems at 95%, everything is looking good, Sir.  ::Turns back to his console and checks on the other systems::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: I will need a more precise reading on the anomaly, Commander.

EO_Freddy says:
<Rest of the Med Team> ::Nods::

MO_Sovok says:
CMO: I've been studying, I can help if you need me.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: We're getting some turbulence from this area as well, continuing scans.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Shields?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: No ships detected, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Not again.

CNS_Toni says:
::Rushing to her office, she stops at a weapons locker to obtain a side arm, checks it and holsters it::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Working at 89.5%.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Diverts power to shields and weapons::

EO_Freddy says:
::Looks around:: Med Team: Odd, I've seen some of you before but others I don't know.  Are you new and what happened?

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: The shields on a freighter are falling, Sir, she docked in the station!

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Thanks, I was about to ask for it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Power up all weapons.  OPS: Full power to the shields and weapons!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, a probe might help.  ::Feels a lump in his throat:: as readings are coming in, transwarp signatures::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

XO_Hicks says:
CTO: Augment the shields that face in the direction of the anomalies.

CNS_Toni says:
Self:: I want to be sure to be ready for almost anything that may happen on this station.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Looks at Pavielion::  CSO: Scan for Borg.  ::Looks grim::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods at the CO::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Always glad to be ahead in the game.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Launch probe.  ::Looks back at the Admiral:: Admiral: Borg, Sir?

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Working. Done Sir!

CMO_Tae says:
MO:  Of course I'll need you.  It's your job.  ::Steps off the turbolift and walks into Sickbay::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tries to tune the sensors for the CSO.  Smiles as he seems to.  Brings up all power systems:: XO/OPS: All power systems on line!

CIV_Danforth says:
::Thinking to himself...the Borg?::

CTO_Marek says:
::Nods to the OPS::

EO_Freddy says:
Med Team: My spots are gone! That doesn't happen! What did I do burn myself and get a skin transplant? I look like I'm mostly made of patches

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Already there, Sir

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Feels shaky, launches a few class one probes to examine the anomaly and scans for Borg signatures::

EO_Freddy says:
::Sees Kara walk in:: Kara: Kara! Do you know what's happening? ::Sees the MO:: Who's that?

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Mitchell: We had a transwarp conduit open up less than a light year from Sol.  ::Looks grim::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Diverting extra power to those shields, Sir. Working at 97.6%. Increasing power now.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Set the shields to a rotating modulation.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Prepares to divert power from nonessential systems to shields::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Commander, if it is the Borg, perhaps we should adopt some of the experimental shields we've been working on.

CNS_Toni says:
::Reaching the outer office and opening a COM to OPS::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the CO as he hears the word “Borg”:: Admiral, you know, my father ship’s at Wolf 359....the Borg?

XO_Hicks says:
CTO: Thank you Commander.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
Admiral: Acknowledged, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sets coordinates for the probes, has them take up a triangular pattern around the anomaly::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs rather loudly as he hears mention of the Borg.  Orders all engineering teams to their stations.  Checks on the status of the ships and shuttles that are docked::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Done, Captain.

EO_Freddy says:
::Looks around:: ALL: And why has my voice changed?

CIV_Danforth says:
OPS: P'Dar, do we have the necessary power to utilize the modified shields?

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at the EO:: EO: Pardon me?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches as a blip appears::  CO: Sir, getting something, reading it now.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Frowns::  FCO: Keep to your station, Lieutenant.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Borg sphere!  Coming out!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I will prepare a routine, just in case.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Who's the guy behind you? And what happened to me?

FCO_Stricker says:
Admiral: Admiral, of course, Sir!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Glances at the CTO::

OPS_Kerst says:
CIV: Barley, I think.  We'll have to divert a lot of power for it.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Stands and speaks to anyone:: On screen.

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Team Dude> ::Walks over to Kara and whispers:: CMO: We gave Freddy a brain transplant, we took the copy of a brain we had.

CMO_Tae says:
EO: I haven't been in Sickbay.  I don't know what's happened in the past little while.  ::Begins preparing for casualties::

CNS_Toni says:
::Hears the word “Borg” coming from Ops::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Range?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, probes confirm, it is a stable transwarp conduit.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Well, I sure don't.  One minute I'm here doing work and next I'm a rag doll!

CMO_Tae says:
::Looks at the medic::  Medic: Copy of who's brain?

CTO_Marek says:
::Powers all weapons:: CO: 2 km and holding.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks into Sickbay and gets a medical tricorder ready.  Wheels the instrument cart out for quick access::

CTO_Marek says:
::Runs an emergency diagnostic on the weapons:: 

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, the CTO, OPS and I have been working on experimental shields.  They use a lot of power.  Should we try them?  We've only gone through Beta testing.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs a few more remote diagnostics on the shuttles and ships that are docked. Turns to the CO, Admiral and XO:: CO/XO/Admiral: All ships and shuttlecraft that are docked are cleared to depart.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target the sphere and fire photon torpedoes, full spread!

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Dude> ::Whispers more:: CMO: Uhh, Corzi's.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Expects the sphere to charge the station::  CO: Odd Sir, the sphere is holding position next to the conduit, perhaps waiting for reinforcements.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: A Borg Sphere appears on screen, holding its position 2 km from the station.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: A Borg sphere, Sir!  Firing now!

CMO_Tae says:
::Eyes widen::  Medic: What?!

EO_Freddy says:
ALL: Jeez! The way I'm being treated you'd think the Borg were attacking!

CIV_Danforth says:
::Thinks maybe we shouldn't have fired right away since they are holding position::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Shall we have the civilians report to emergency shelters?

CNS_Toni says:
Self: remembering a compromising position with the Ferengi and shutters, now contemplating dealing with Borg::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: This Borg Sphere has apparently encountered these weapons.  No effect.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Orders the Damage Control Teams to the weapons systems and especially the shield generators and coolant systems::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Signal all Starfleet vessels docked at the station to disembark immediately and set course for the sphere!  ::Paces, staring at the viewscreen::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Uses data from the probe and sends it to the probes guidance systems to help them track the target::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Is feeling fear, wished the CMO was here::

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Dude> CMO: He needed a new brain... really... he was dumber than a sack of doorknobs

CMO_Tae says:
::Ignores the EO:: Medic: Just keep him quiet.  ::Goes back to working::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, should we fire up the modified shields?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CIV: Affirmative, Commander. 

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The torpedoes had no affect, Sir!

EO_Freddy says:
CMO/Med Dude: What were you talking about that I couldn't hear? ::Gets up, angry::

CMO_Tae says:
EO:  Sit down and stay quiet.

OPS_Kerst says:
COM: All Ships: This is an emergency situation, all Starfleet vessels are ordered to depart immediately and intercept the Borg sphere, over.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Oh? You're going to give me orders now, Kara?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Increase the yield, full volley and fire!

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: You never did that before! What's the matter with you?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Firing again.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Reroutes power to the primary and secondary power distribution networks, making more efficient use of the whole station’s systems:: Self: Okay!

CMO_Tae says:
EO:  Yes!  Nothing's wrong with me!  Now hush and I'll explain later!

CIV_Danforth says:
::Goes to weapons locker and begins modifying weapons for Borg ::

XO_Hicks says:
::Checking data on the command monitor::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: The sphere is hailing us.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Can you manage those fields?  Here is the main routine.  ::Points the screen::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: I recommend using quantum torpedoes, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: On screen!  ::Stands in front of the viewscreen::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Carries a phaser to Satok:: CTO: Yes, I think I can.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Switched incoming transmission to main viewscreen::

CTO_Marek says:
::Grabs the phaser::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes sure that all the systems are running efficiently as possible as he makes adjustments to each and every primary critical system::

EO_Freddy says:
::Walks up to Kara:: CMO: I will NOT hush! Explain now!  There's no reason to keep anything from me!

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO:  We should probably use rotating pattern delta two random.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Begins thinking about past missions, begins to formulate a back-up plan, and quickly makes some modifications to a probe while the sphere hails the station::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: You are right, proceed. ::Helps the CIV::

Host Borg_Voices says:
COM: Kootenai: ::An image of the vastness of the collective appears::  This is Sphere 1545.  Lower your shields and prepare for assimilation.  Resistance is futile.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks out and separates the EO and the CMO:: Kara: Sir, we have work to do.

CMO_Tae says:
::Grabs the EO's arm and firmly guides him back to the biobed::  EO: I'm in charge of this Sickbay.  Now stay put or I'll sedate you!

Cpt_Venn says:
::Enters sickbay looking around sharply::

CTO_Marek says:
::Checks the shield status::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Confirm all Starfleet vessels have departed the station in route to the sphere.

EO_Freddy says:
MO: Wait a minute, who are you?  I haven't see you here before or most of them.  ::Motions back::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO:  Beginning now, Commander.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Raises eyebrow at the Borg COM::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Confirming message to all vessels::

Dr_Kappler says:
::Looks up as her small communications device beeps with an incoming message.. Looks at the small screen and sees the Borg, ponders::

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Why are you doing this?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Utilizing the delta pattern::

CMO_Tae says:
EO: I told you that I'd explain later, okay?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, shall I take the Erie?

EO_Freddy says:
Med Dude: Why is she doing this?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the Borg answer.  He feels a shiver down his spine as he's heard of the capabilities of them.  He feels happy that the station is at full readiness, but cant quite smile. Turns to the viewer::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Negative, not yet, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
*Security Teams/Lt. Lewis* All available hands to combat stations.  Pattern Delta.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Whispers to CEO:: I wonder sometimes if they can say anything else.

EO_Freddy says:
<Med Dude> EO: Psht...well, ahh, women.  ::Shrugs::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Understood.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, I believe by launching a probe set to emit a static ion pulse, we might be able to create a subspace rift and suck the sphere into it.  Kind of like the opposite of a static warp field, which seals a rift.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Understood.

CNS_Toni says:
::Hears the Borg transmission, is stunned by the sound of the many voices::

CMO_Tae says:
::Has had enough of dealing with the EO and leaves him standing there to go back to her work::

CTO_Marek says:
<Lt. Lewis>: CTO: Aye, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: We're not going to be assimilated, not today, Satok.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Launch the probe.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: All Starfleet ships have left the station and on course for the sphere!

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Kara!

CNS_Toni says:
::Begins to pull up all information on the Borg from the data systems::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Whispers back to Ops:: OPS: Kerst.. I don’t like this one bit.  ::Turns back to his console::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I agree with you.

MO_Sovok says:
::Walks up to Corran:: Corran: Listen, Were going to be very busy.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Launches the modified probe, used the data from a previous time the station was pulled into subspace to create the technology::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Tae says:
::Turns::  EO: What?

EO_Freddy says:
::Sigh:: MO: Could you help me out here?  I'm totally lost and she's gotten all... please?

Dr_Kappler says:
::Sets the device down.  Never saw aliens like those before.  Notices the picture has no movement and shrugs.  Another hoax maybe?  Sips at her drink::

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Why won't you talk to me?  What have I done?

CTO_Marek says:
::Taps like crazy on his console:: 

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods at the CO::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I just hope we don't get sucked in, it should be small enough we won't.  Ready to fire the pulse.

Cpt_Venn says:
::Looks past the MO to Kara, then back to him:: MO: Don't you think I know that?  
There's a Borg sphere out there and I'm as trapped as you are.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: It's bad enough I've been who-knows-where and now my superior won't tell me anything!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Any further suggestions?

CMO_Tae says:
EO: I can't talk right now because I'm busy and you haven't done anything.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
::Looks at Mitchell:: It is imperative we close that conduit.  We can deal with the sphere easier.  ::Looks at the conduit open in the background::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Finally sees the readouts for the U.S.S. Erie.  Turns to Hicks:: XO: The Erie is 100% operational and flight ready, Sir.  ::Turns back to his console and makes a few adjustments to the stations systems::

MO_Sovok says:
Corran: Well then go be trapped somewhere else.  We have work to do.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Fire the pulse.

EO_Freddy says:
::Overhears Venn:: Venn: Did you say Borg Sphere?

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Thank you, Randy.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Sets the power so high on the probe it overloads and explodes, creating a massive power surge, hopefully one big enough to create a mini-rift and tear the sphere apart::

MO_Sovok says:
::Sighs:: Corran: Now look what you've done.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Still cant quite smile:: XO: No problem. ::He frantically taps commands into his console::

CTO_Marek says:
::Monitors the pulse with the short-range sensors::

Cpt_Venn says:
MO: Sovok, if the Borg do come you're going to need all the help you can get.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: The Sphere is severely damaged.

MO_Sovok says:
Corran: I can handle it myself!  Now leave!

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: A stream of high-energy protons might close the conduit.

EO_Freddy says:
EO: If there's a Borg sphere out there why didn't you tell me? I lived with them for five years, I should know how to help kill them!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Any suggestions on how to close the conduit?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Keeps to his duties on the station::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: A Federation ship can enter the conduit and create a static warp shell, just the opposite of what we just did to seal it shut.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Good news, Captain. The Borg sphere is severely damaged.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target the sphere and fire!

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: I'm going up to Ops.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Mitchell: I suspect a high yield volley of quantum torpedoes would close the conduit.

CMO_Tae says:
::Grabs the EO's arm again::  EO:  No, you're not.  Not right now.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: With pleasure, Sir! ::Presses the fire button::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
Admiral: Very well, Sir.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Yes I am! There's a Borg sphere outside and I can help!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: That would surely work.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CSO: A couple of photon torpedoes set to detonate at its threshold might be enough to destabilize it.

Cpt_Venn says:
::Puts his hand up:: MO: I have no doubt of your medical abilities. ::Pulls a small device from his belt:: Just make sure you can do them.

CMO_Tae says:
EO: Stop questioning me!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Reroutes even more power to the station’s weapons that he's held in reserve::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: High yield Quantum torpedoes, full volley, fire!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Firing. Full volley. Impact in 1 second.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Breathes:: Self: And hopefully finish off the sphere in the process.

XO_Hicks says:
ADM/CO: How about a trilithium explosion?

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: A volley of torpedoes strikes the Sphere in various places.  As it is already severely damaged, the Sphere is unable to compensate and it is ultimately destroyed.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: That wasn't even a question!

MO_Sovok says:
::Draws his phaser from his ankle, not sure what Corran took off::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the sphere, then loses it as the sphere explodes::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: All torpedoes ready again to fire.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Direct hit! The sphere is destroyed, Sir!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks to see the destroyed sphere:: All: Oh thank God!

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Let me go! I can help!

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: YES!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Understood. 

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Good shooting, Commander.  Now, target the conduit, high-yield quantums, full volley and fire!

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: We still have to close that conduit, Satok, before more of their brethren come through.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Thanks, Captain.  Firing!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the screen as he hears the others.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the conduit, we have to close that now before more come through::

CMO_Tae says:
EO:  Listen to me.  I know you can help, but the people in Ops won't recognize you and they'll think you're babbling.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
Action: The quantum torpedoes detonate inside the conduit opening, disrupting it, and closing it.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Come with me then!

Dr_Kappler says:
*Operations* Greetings!  I'm Doctor Kat Kappler Trez of the Mondarian Medical authority.. I was sent here to attend some kind of medical…. ::Waves hands::  function but umm.. I seem to be unable to read your language.  Was I to get a sleep room here?

Cpt_Venn says:
::Clips the device to another small one from his coat and another, creating a small phaser:: MO: Calm down.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: You know it's me!  Come with me and I can give us a chance!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Watches as the torpedoes are fired.  Hopes that they can close it::

CMO_Tae says:
EO:  I know it's you, but nobody else does!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: CIV Danforth has came up with an interesting idea... CIV?

CIV_Danforth says:
*Lieutenant Bear* Lieutenant, get a shuttle crew together to go through that wreckage bit by bit.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Captain, if I may, I would like to send runabouts to the debris field, maybe we can find some useful technology.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: So come with me! You can tell them it's me!

MO_Sovok says:
::Returns his Phaser to his Ankle.. Eyeing  Corran:: Corran: I'm watching you.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Hicks, that was too close for my taste.

FCO_Stricker says:
Self: Oh man I'm glad we got rid of them.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: How different can I look?

OPS_Kerst says:
<Jackson> *Dr. Kappler* Please stay were you are.  Somebody will be with you shortly to help you.

CMO_Tae says:
EO: More than you can imagine.

CTO_Marek says:
::Begins long-range sensor sweeps::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Agreed, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Permission granted, Commander.

Dr_Kappler says:
*Jackson* Oh good, this dry air is just horrid.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to his console and sees a power outage in deck 30.  Sends a damage control team to find out what happened.  Turns to Hicks:: XO: Power outage on deck 30.  Damage Control Team sent to investigate and repair.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: Just come on! You're jeopardizing all of our lives with this!

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Very well.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Contacts runabouts and tells them to prepare for a salvage operation, also tells them to stay alert and launch as soon as they're ready::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Intruder Alert on Deck 30!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Thinks: What now?::  CTO: Lock down the deck and dispatch security teams!

Cpt_Venn says:
MO: Listen, you don't trust me, I don't trust you but you know we do have…..  ::Glances over to Kara, quiets:: …..common interests that neither of us would try and harm... ::Eyes him::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Security team on their way!

Dr_Kappler says:
*Jackson* I don't suppose you have an aqueous sleep room do you? My gills are drying out very badly.

CNS_Toni says:
::Relaxes as she hears the destruction taking place:: Self: Borg threat is alleviated for now, but what if they try to come through another conduit?

CMO_Tae says:
::Starting to get frustrated, not quite sure what to do::

XO_Hicks says:
CTO: Isolate and identify who it is.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks at Kara:: Corran: Yes.

EO_Freddy says:
CMO: I don't understand you anymore Kara... what's happened to you? What's happened to this sickbay?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs a diagnostic on the power distribution network on deck 30, trying to find out the cause::

CNS_Toni says:
::Continues to read data on Borg civilizations::

CIV_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, I think we can keep that conduit permanently closed with a high-energy stream of protons.

CTO_Marek says:
CO/XO: Sir, it's the Borg.

CMO_Tae says:
EO:  What's given you the idea that something's happened?

OPS_Kerst says:
<Jackson> Dr. Kappler: Your room is all prepared. You should have been met by someone from or staff when you came aboard.  I'm sending someone to meet you now.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans for abnormal readings::  CEO: Were our shields down at any time?
