Host ASM_KytraS says:
Prelude: Our heroes, while charting a newly discovered nebula, received a distress call. They located a vessel that was not in any Starfleet database. Not finding a way to scan through the ship's strange hull, they docked a shuttle onto one of the ship's access ports. While investigating the ship they find only dead crew strewn about and have somehow tripped a strange alien security system and find themselves facing a large beast. Meanwhile their crewmates on the USS Erie are blissfully unaware that their comrades are now in danger.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Moves forward towards the creature, phaser rifle aimed straight at it:: All: Get back!

CNS_Alana says:
::Standing at the Ops station, monitoring the Away Team::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Eyes the beast now filling the hallway in front of them. Mutters something in Romulan who’s' meaning will not be given here::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Walks slowly toward the Away Team, sniffing the air::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks around Main Engineering of the U.S.S. Erie, making sure the ships systems are functioning properly:: Self: Everything’s running fine... ::Pauses and scratches his chin.  Then decides to head to the Bridge and leaves his Assistant Engineer in charge of Main Engineering::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Holds tricorder in hand, scanning the whatchamacallit::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@ALL: Everyone back up slowly, phaser ready!

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Should I fire?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stands from his chair::  CNS: Lieutenant, what is the status of the away team?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits Main Engineering and enters the Turbolift:: TL: Bridge. ::Looks at the PADD in his hand::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Backs up slowly as the creature approaches::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Not unless it charges, I don't want to make it angry.  ::Backs up slowly::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Backs up slowly occasionally looking over his shoulder::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Narrows his eyes and snarls, looking at the strange beings::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Backs up a few steps, continuing scans::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir docking procedures are complete and they have gone inside the vessel...

CSO_Taliza says:
@Self: Nice kitty...

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Begging the XO's pardon, Sir, but this thing doesn't look too happy, if you catch my drift?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@OPS: See if the Erie can get a transporter lock on us and tell them to stand by. We may need to leave quickly.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters the Bridge and pauses to look at the Captain:: CO: Commander Corjet reporting. ::Motions over to the Engineering station::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@CSO: What is that thing?

OPS_Spicer says:
@XO: Aye.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Other than that sensors cannot detect anything unusual.  Bio signs are all good.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Try to establish a communication link with them.

OPS_Spicer says:
@*Erie*: Erie, this is Ensign Spicer. Can you get a lock on us?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: Scans indicate this thing's what that hologram called a Terva.  It's felinoid.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Opens his jaws wide in a roar:: ~~~Away Team: What are you doing here?~~~

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Yeah, well, Angrier then, just try not to provoke it. We've seen what it did to the others.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Is blasted with a nasty odor of bad breath from the creature::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Blinks::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the CNS with a smile, which changes to concern and walks over to the Engineering station and powers it up::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Looks back at the creature:: ALL: Did you hear that?

CNS_Alana says:
*XO*: This is the Erie, can you read?

CSO_Taliza says:
@XO:, Sir, scans indicate that thing has a brain with the same type of nodes a Bajoran has.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Um, hello?  We picked up a distress call and we came to help.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ~~~Away Team: You lie, two-legger.  You want to steal our technology!~~~

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Uh...I think I should fire, Sir.  ::Backs up some more still aiming the phaser rifle at the creature::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees the CEO enter::  CEO: Commander, can you get a transporter lock on the away team?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Hold!

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Still trying to establish communications, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts tapping away at the controls, boosting the Com signal as much as he can:: CO/CNS: Boosting their signal as much as possible. ::Continues to tap away:: Checking for transporter lock now, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Watches the creature carefully::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: No we don't want your tech.  We have our own, see?  ::Holds up phaser::  We just wanted to help.  Did you send the distress call?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Leans into the console and shakes his head, then turns to the CO:: CO: I can't get a transporter lock on them... not yet…trying.  ::Taps away at the console, boosting the confinement fields::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ~~~Away Team: You carry weapons, and claim you are on a mission of mercy~~~ ::Snorts::

CNS_Alana says:
::Trying to boost the communications signal::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Backs up a few steps and holds fire::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Continuing scans of creature::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS/CEO: find a way to boost the signals so we can speak with the away team and transport them away if necessary.

OPS_Spicer says:
@XO: I don't think it wants to hurt us, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: I've boosted the communications signal to the max.  I believe our message is getting through, but no one is on the shuttle, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: Amazing!  The Terva can telepathically transmit to all beings, not just those who have telepathic abilities.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: We carry weapons only for self-defense. We didn't know what we'd find on board. Here. ::Slowly holsters phaser:: See. We mean you no harm. We only came because of the call for help. We're here to help.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Takes a step back:: ~~~Away Team: You're here to take Rhana! She said this day would come. You can't have her. I'm her guardian, not you!~~~ ::Snorts::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Follows XO's lead and holsters phaser::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Motions for others to lower their weapons::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Moves over to the secondary console and slaves it to transporter controls.  Then starts working on trying to boost the confinement fields.  Then starts to try a command link with their shuttle:: CO/CNS: Trying to get a command link with their shuttle in order to try to do a double transport, Sir. ::Enters his command codes in::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Lowers the phaser rifle even though he thinks it's not the wisest thing to do.  Growls::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Holsters his phaser::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: We're not here for Rhana.  We don't even know who she is.  IS she the one who sent the distress call?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  CNS: Lieutenant, our their lifesigns holding steady?

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Is Terva your name or the name of your species?

CNS_Alana says:
::Scanning biosigns::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Yes, Sir, biosigns are still holding steady.  ::Looks over at the CEO::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles as he gains access to the shuttle:: CO/CNS: I have command access to their shuttle.. Trying to synchronize the transporters.  ::Starts commanding the shuttle to synchronize its transporter with the ships::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Flicks his ears back nervously and whines:: ~~~Away Team: I protect Rhana. She takes care of all of us~~~~

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Commander, can we get a tractor lock on that vessel and pull it away from and out of the nebula?

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Moves closer to the creature:: Terva: Easy there. We mean you no harm. ::Reaches his open hand toward him::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: I see.  Terva, who sent the distress call?

CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: Sir, I knew I should have brought that five-kilo bag of Cat Chow with us.

OPS_Spicer says:
@Terva: Yes. You are Rhana's guardian. You protect her. We are here only to help. ::Steps closer::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Smiles at CSO comment, thinking of Val::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Lieutenant, contact security and have a security detachment standby in case I decide to send over reinforcements.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wonders: Why take the shuttle out of the Nebula without the Away Team in it?::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva>::Sniffs at the OPS' hand:: ~~~~Away Team: I know nothing of a distress call, whatever that is, but it must have been Rhana~~~

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Could I touch you?  Feel your fur?  I just want to compare you to cats we're more familiar with.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Fights with the computer of the Away Teams' shuttle as he's having a hard time to synchronize the transporter buffers:: CO: Not sure at the moment, Sir, fighting with synchronizing the transporter buffers. ::Taps on the primary console to check for the possibility of tractor beaming the ship::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@OPS: Slowly, try to make your way to the shuttle can update the Erie on our situation, and then make sure there’s a transporter lock on us, just in case.

CNS_Alana says:
::Contacts Security and orders extra details to standby in the shuttle bay::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Slowly touches the creatures head:: Terva: I am here to help.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva>::Glances at the CSO:: ~~~CSO: What is a cat?~~~

CNS_Alana says:
::Still sending another message to an empty shuttle::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Sniffs the scent of the creature and growls::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Looks back at the XO:: XO: Yes, Sir. ::Slowly moves away from Terva toward the shuttle.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: A distress call is a call for help. If Rhana sent it she might need help. I know you protect her, but could you take us to her so we can see if she needs help?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is not certain why or how that vessel ended up here, but would feel a lot better if they were away from this location::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@OPS: Be careful, this might not be the only surprise on board.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: A creature much like yourself.  Four legs, fur, somewhat smaller, and some breeds are kept as pets like yourself.

OPS_Spicer says:
@XO: Aye. ::Turns and moves quickly to the shuttle::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the figures of the calculations:: CO: Possible, but it will be a strain on our systems. ::Taps in orders to his Engineer's to be ready to work on the tractor beams::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva>::Growls:: ~~~~CSO: I am not a pet! I am a Guardian, and one of the best! ~~~~

CNS_Alana says:
*Shuttle 1*:  Come in, is anyone available?  We are trying to get a lock on you and beam you back to the ship.  if you hear this  let everyone know we are working  on the situation!  Shuttle 1?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Moves  back to the secondary console and sighs loudly:: CO: I've found a problem... ::Turns and shakes his head ruefully:: Should have noticed it before... But the aliens ships hull is blocking transport... That was why I was having problems with synchronizing the transport buffers.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Head tips back when the creature growls.  Grips his phaser rifle more firmly::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Makes way to the shuttle:: *Erie*: This is Ensign Spicer to the Erie, come in Erie.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Narrows his eyes at the TO and bares his sharp white teeth:: ~~~Away Team: None of you two-leggers can be trusted, I see~~~

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: My apologies.  Could you take us to your companion, Rhana?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Of course you're a Guardian. Cats are small pets, not big Guardians are you. They just look like a smaller version of you.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Stand down.

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS*: Ensign. I got you!  What is going on down there?

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Would you like me to drop down on all four legs, Sir?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns back to his console and orders his Engineer's to start working on the tractor beam emitters, then turns back to the CO::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:, Sir, Communications established with the Shuttle, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  CEO: acknowledged, Commander, keep the option open, but we may not have to move the vessel if nothing occurs.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Yes, we can, he is also a Guardian, he is our Guardian.  It his job to be jumpy around things we don't know.  It doesn't mean we can’t be trusted.

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CNS*: We have encountered a.... well, it's... it’s a beast.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Lowers his head for a moment:: ~~~Away Team: You just want to take her away from me~~~

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Sir, I've got my Engineer's working on the tractor beam emitters. ::Turns back to his console::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: No, we don't. We just want to help if we can. I promise, we won’t take her from you.

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS: Is everyone alright, any causalities?

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Nothing of the sort.  We just want to visit her.  See if she's okay then, if we need to, we can take you BOTH off this ship.

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CNS*: The team is trying to negotiate with the creature. It appears to be a guardian of some sort. We must have activated the security system and woken it up. No casualties so far on either side.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ~~~~CSO: Off this ship? You would take us home?~~~

TO_Bailey says:
@::Looks at the CSO and wonders if he's crazy.  Doesn't think taking this creature back to the Erie is such a good idea::

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Where is "home"?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Listens to OPS's communications::  *OPS*: Ensign, a beast?  ::Listens a while longer::  Do you have any idea what it is guarding?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: If that's what you want, yes, we'd try to take you home. But we need to know where home is. And for that we'd need to talk to Rhana.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Steps closer to the CSO:: ~~~CSO: Home. The thing other then the ship~~~

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS*: We cannot communicate with you once you leave the shuttle, so be aware of that also.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses as he works at his station to listen to the COM::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: No, Sir, not exactly. It is guarding someone or something called "Rhana"

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to the CNS::  CNS: Lieutenant., reference that name in our database, see if it pulls up any matches.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: May we speak with Rhana, so we can find your home and take you there?

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Holds a hand out for Terva to sniff:: Terva: Do you know what planet you're from?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Aye, Sir!

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CNS*: Understood. The XO has me stationed here to keep communications open between the Away Team and the Erie.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Commander, can you tap into the vessel's computer system and download any records or logs?  I want to know what happened over there and why that beast is there.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Sniffs at the CSO's hand:: ~~~CSO: It's home. Not a planet~~~

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over his console and then starts working on the tractor beam emitters' power relays.  Then orders his Engineer's to boost the structural integrity fields around the emitters:: Self: What else? ::Smiles to himself and then starts tapping away at the console as fast as he can:: CO: Will do, Sir. ::Moves over to the primary console::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Starts to scratch behind Terva's ears:: Terva: Is "home" another ship or station?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: We need to find your home.  Can you show us other parts of this ship so we can find it?

CNS_Alana says:
::Accessing data base for the name "Terva"::

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Sits at the COM console on the shuttle trying to boost the COM signal to reach the Away Team::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts trying to hack into the aliens ships computer:: Self: How about? ::Starts to try another route::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*OPS*: Ensign, do you require additional help?  A security detachment is standing by if so.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva>::Thunks his leg on the metal floor:: ~~~CSO: It's just....home~~~

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Scan the area, try to locate the Bridge, or the engine room. We need to access their computer to find...home.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Continues petting Terva:: XO: Once you get to know Terva, he's just one big kitty cat.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@*OPS*: Spicer come in, can you read me?

OPS_Spicer says:
@CO: Sir, I would recommend that we don't send additional personnel. This Terva already is unsure of why we are here.

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Slings his phaser rifle and grabs his tricorder from his belt.  Begins scanning and moving down the corridor looking for the Bridge::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@CSO: Glad to see you have such a repertoire, see if he can lead us to Rhana, or the Bridge. We need more info if we're to take them home.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Would you like a treat, Terva?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Opens his eyes greatly and quickly locks out remote access to the Erie.  Sighs a great sigh of relief, then turns to the CO:: CO: Ah.. ::Blushes in a bit of embarrassment:: Apparently there's a virus on their computer. It seemingly locked out everything. It almost made it aboard, Sir.  I had to lock out remote access to the ship.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Side steps dead bodies along the corridor and tries not to breathe through his nose::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Notices the TO walking down the hall and growls, biting the CSO's arm. He jerks to his feet, nearly taking the CSO with him::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, of course I cannot sense any danger from the Away Team because of the composition of the alien ship, but I do sense that Ensign, Spicer is a bit... nervous.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CEO: Very good, Commander.  I would hate if we had to be towed home.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: NO! Wait, we're trying to help!

CSO_Taliza says:
@Aloud: OWWWWWWWWW!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks back to his console and then orders some Engineer's to the shuttles to boost the shuttles tractor beams as they're running out of options.  Then turns back to the CO:: CO: Me too, Sir... ::Sighs:: If we would have made it.  I've just ordered my Engineer's to work on the shuttles tractor beams too, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: The personnel on this ship are all dead. All of them. At least as far as we have seen. So far we found 15 dead bodies. And Captain...

TO_Bailey says:
@::Hears the CSO holler then turns and rushes back to the Away Team's position, hand phaser in one paw and the tricorder still in the other paw::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: He's just trying to find your home!  There's no need for violence!

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Trots past the TO and growls::

CNS_Alana says:
::Listening to conversation::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Turns quickly and follows the creature::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: Their internal organs are... gone. I mean, missing. And judging from the condition of the bodies, the Doc says they were… ::Gulps:: eaten. ::Shivers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is not happy at what OPS is saying, keeps listening::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Tries to free his arm from Terva's jaw::

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Glances down at his tricorder that has been open for some time now and raises an eyebrow::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@:Moves to CSO to check injury::

CNS_Alana says:
::Gulps as she hears the part about their internal organs being ingested into the creature::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*OPS*: Do you know if the beast did this?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@CMO: Doc we need you, Cal’s been hurt!

CSO_Taliza says:
@Terva: Let go, let go, let go!

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Wait!

CMO_Sovok says:
@XO: Sir, I'll be there in a second but my tricorder is telling me that the same thing that these people died of, well, it's in that thing too but it's not affecting him.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over the controls on the primary console.  Then turns a bit to the CO:: CO: All systems operational.  My Engineer's are almost done with the modifications to the tractor beams.

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Begins to jog to the XO's location::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO* :The Doc says it is highly probable due to the bite marks left on the bodies. But we don't know for sure if this Terva, that's what the creature calls itself, is the one that did it.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Our Data base has nothing remotely close to the name of 'Terva'.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Stands in the hallway watching the ruckus and spits out a scrap of bloody EVA suit::

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Kneels down beside the CSO and scans him::

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS*: can you give a description of Terva, anything unusual about the voice or a smell of any sort?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*OPS*: Is there any way that the away team can get separated from the beast?  ::Sighs::  Speak with Commander. Kerst and get his opinion on what he wants done since he is in command over there.  Tell him several security officers are ready to come over and give assistance if needed.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: We will try to get you home, but you have to help us. We need to find your home. This ship should contain the information. We need to find it. Once we do, we can get you home.

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Begins to work on the CSO, repairing the wounds, some more major than others::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Balls up, clutching his right arm::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: How about telepathic communication?  Maybe you could talk with it.  ::Suddenly realizes what he's saying and also the fact that the CNS would be put in possible danger::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CNS* :It is leonoid in appearance, with short tawny fur covering its muscular frame. Its horse-like black unruly mane cascades over its powerful neck. Two short white tusks protrude at the corners of its mouth.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Sees that the CSO is okay and holsters his phaser, still holding onto the tricorder::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Lieutenant, have the security detachment arm up and board the shuttle now.  I want them to be ready to launch in five minutes.

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Exits the shuttle and runs down the corridor to the team, stopping short as he sees the CSO being attended by the Doctor:: XO: Sir, the CO wants to know if we need a security team here.

CNS_Alana says:
*OPS*: Good description, what about the voice, whisper, loud, echoing, what?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Aye, Sir,

CMO_Sovok says:
@ XO: Sir! I'm detecting the disease in the CSO!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Is there any record of that alien vessel in our database?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CMO: Infected?  I hope its not rabies.

CNS_Alana says:
*<Security>: Get armed and get the shuttle ready for launch in 5 minutes!

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Twitches his tail:: ~~~Away Team: I can take you to Rhana. She knows the way home~~~

Host XO_Kerst says:
@OPS: Have them come over, but not to board unless I say so. Also ask if he has anybody to negotiate with a ten-foot long paranoid kitty.

CMO_Sovok says:
@CSO: I'm afraid it's not.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@CMO: Take him back to the Erie, treat him there.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Receives a report from his Engineers, telling him that all of the shuttles tractor beams have been boosted as much as possible.  Then turns to the CO:: CO: Checking, Sir... ::Turns to the console and continues to talk with the CO:: All shuttles tractor beams have been boosted to maximum, Sir. ::Taps away at the console, checking the database::

OPS_Spicer says:
@XO: Yes, Sir. ::Nods then looks back at the XO:: XO:, Sir? Paranoid?

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Nods to the XO::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: That would be wonderful

CNS_Alana says:
<Security> *CNS*: Ready to launch on your mark!

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: You’re with me.  Try to mark our trail so Spicer can catch up with us and try not to upset our...host.

CNS_Alana says:
::Thinking over what CEO said about telepathic communication with the creature::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::Goes back to shuttle w/ CMO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks down::  CNS: Lieutenant, do you like cats?

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Mark our trail, Sir?  ::Whispers:: You want me to start leaving my scent on the walls, Sir?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@OPS: And tell the CO to expect company, large company. We'll need a cargo bay for it, them.

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Finishes healing the CSO's arm but hasn't treated the disease yet, has him lay down in the shuttle:: CSO: I think we should wait for the rest of the away team... There is only one shuttle.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Glances over at the CNS, wishing he could take those words back, then continues to search Starfleet's Database for the alien’s vessel in the records::

CNS_Alana says:
::Is lost in thoughts when she hears CO ask about cats::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Listens to the TO and shudders:: ~~~Self: Two-leggers~~~

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Preferably something less.  Something visual perhaps?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CMO: Doc, since we're back on the shuttle outside the ship, I think we can beam back to the ship.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Uh, what?  Yes, Sir, I do like cats.  Why do you ask?

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Runs back into the shuttle:: *CO*: Sir, the XO requests that a security team be beamed aboard the shuttle but not to board the vessel at this time. He also requested that you expect a large contingent and to ready a cargo bay for... uh.... company. Oh and he also requested a negotiator that has experience with cats.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to glance again at the CNS, then continues to look at the CO:: CO: Nothing in our database, Sir. I like cats. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Continues to stare at the CNS::  CNS: It sounds like they need someone over there who can negotiate with a troubled cat and I see you as the best person available.

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Visual?  ::Thinks:: I could phaser the walls with arrows, Sir.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@:Terva: We will follow you to Rhana, some other two legs may follow us. They are with me and will also help to get you home. Is that OK? You lead us to Rhana now?

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ~~~XO: No. No more two-leggers~~~

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: Sir, correction, a ten-foot paranoid cat.

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Nods:: CSO: You do have a point. ::Taps his COM badge:: *Erie*: Sovok to Erie, two to beam directly to Sickbay.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the CNS, then turns to the CO:: CO: I'd like to accompany the Counselor, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Lieutenant, you are relieved from your station.  Report to shuttle bay one.  You will go with the security detachment.

CNS_Alana says:
::Glances at CEO after the Captains statement::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Okay, just us then.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns Ops station over to a waiting Ensign from second shift::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Snorts:: ~~~XO: That's better~~~

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged, Ensign.  They are on their way with Lieutenant. Torez.  Also, please mention to the Commander, I would appreciate if he could find another way to transport the beast but if not possible, we will make it work.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Pulls out his hand phaser and sets it to low, then cuts arrows into the walls::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@*OPS*: We're going with Terva to Rhana. He has insisted on no more two leggers on board. Hold there for further instructions.

CNS_Alana says:
::Passing by CEO, winking:: CEO: Well, you will get your wish, won't you?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the CEO, thinks for a moment::

OPS_Spicer says:
@*CO*: Yes, Sir., Sir, the team can beam to the shuttle since there is only one docking port.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Walks to the end of the hallway, twitching his tail slowly::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CMO*: Doctor? The alien's ship’s hull prevents transporting out.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Very well, Commander.  You might try setting up transport enhancers while you are over there, in case we need to beam you out in a hurry.  Report to shuttle bay one as well.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Follows the creature, stopping every so often to cut arrows into the walls with his hand phaser::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles with a nod:: CO: Aye, Sir, transport enhancers and transporter armbands too, Sir.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Run to the shuttle, tell them to hold. No one boards unless I say so, Got it?  Then follow my COM badge back to me, I'll try to leave a trail.

CMO_Sovok says:
@*CEO*: We're not in the ship, Randy.

CNS_Alana says:
::Walking swiftly to the shuttle bay::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to his console:: *CMO*: Oh, just a moment….just another second.   Initiating transport.  ::Taps on the console and initializes transport of the CMO and the two personnel::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Follows Terva::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the CMO's COM::  CEO: Go, Commander.  I will make sure that they are taken care of.

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: I like the idea of a transporter armband. Give me one!

TO_Bailey says:
@::Is happy he doesn't have to leave his scent on the walls.  It's been a long time since he's done that and doesn't know if he can any more::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Feels transporter effect, then finds himself and CMO in sickbay on Erie::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly heads over to the Shuttlebay then hands over the transporter armband to the CNS:: CNS: Here you go. ::Grabs a pack of them, enough for the Away Team, the Security team and a couple of extra just in case.  Then grabs a set of transporter tripods too::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Stops in front of a closed door and puts his large paw on a panel next to the floor, the door opens with a swish::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Run to the shuttle, tell them to hold. No one boards unless I say so, Got it!, then follow my COM badge back to me, I'll try to leave a trail.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Wonders if it’s far to Rhana::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Security: Begin immediately clearing out cargo bay two and setting up maximum-security forcefields around the cargo bay.  We may have company.

TO_Bailey says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Holsters his phaser, turns and jogs back to the shuttle::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Finds way to biobed::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around the Sickbay and grabs another medical tricorder, beginning a follow up scan on the CSO::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Begins walking down the staircase::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
<Security> ::Hears the Captain::  *CO*: Aye, Sir.  Give us ten minutes and we can transport the cargo to different areas and have a secure facility set up.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Is slightly nervous, hoping the security team, hasn't boarded. He doesn't want Terva upset anymore::

CNS_Alana says:
::Enters the Transporter Room and grabs a phaser and tricorder from the console, checks the phaser to stun, turn on the tricorder and steps onto the Transporter Pad::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Follows down the staircase, marking the walls every so often::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Checks the transporter armbands and the transporter tripods:: CNS: Ah... I didn't mean to volunteer you.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Arrives at the docking port huffing and puffing and enters to find OPS Spicer inside:: OPS: The XO said no one is to enter this ship under any circumstances.  ::Huffs and puffs::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Continues walking downstairs, his paws echoing on the cold metal::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Security*: Very well, install phaser systems in the corners of the cargo bay, in case the beast gets out of control and attempts to escape.  I want to be able to stun it...or worse if necessary.  ::Closes the COM::

OPS_Spicer says:
@TO: Understood.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Is it far to Rhana?

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over at CEO, smiling::

TO_Bailey says:
@OPS: I have to return to the XO.  ::Breaks into a run down the corridor, following the arrows he carved into the walls and bounding over dead bodies::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ~~~XO: She is in the main room. It is not far~~~

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Well, you got yourself elected I see, perhaps trying to keep an eye on me and the cats?

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Watches as the TO disappears down the corridor then turns back to his console::

CNS_Alana says:
::Waiting for Transporter Tech to begin, Nods toward her to begin transport::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Lugs the transporter equipment with him:: CNS: I'm ready here. ::Walks over to the Transporter Pad.  Smiles and nods:: Yes...

TO_Bailey says:
@::Reaches the last arrow, then begins sniffing, following the XO's scent down the stairs::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Doc?  How bad is it?

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Hurry up will ya!

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@ <Terva> ::Stops in front of a closed door and rears up, slapping at a panel near the ceiling::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the Transporter Chief:: TC: Transport us to the shuttle. ::Looks at the others::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Closes his tricorder:: CSO: I have no idea.  From what I've seen this disease is deadly... but there has to be a cure, something we've overlooked.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Marvels at Terva, so graceful, like a giant Val::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
<Security> ::Continues to transport cargo out of the cargo bay, also checks the security systems inside the cargo bay and begins to install phaser systems in the corners of the room::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Sees the XO up ahead and approaches:: XO: Message delivered, Sir.  ::Looks on as the creature slaps a panel on the ceiling::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Fatal?

Host XO_Kerst says:
@TO: Good, I think we're almost there.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Enters the room as the door opens::

CMO_Sovok says:
CSO: No one of your species has ever had this before. Maybe not.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Huffs and puffs, nodding his head::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@::Follows Terva into the room::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CMO*: Lieutenant, what is your status?  Are any of the injuries serious?

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Walks to the center of the room to a large cylinder and works his claws around the seal, breaking it with a hissing noise. He nudges the top plate off with his snout and leans his neck and head into the opening. A thin pair of arms reaches up and wraps around his neck and the beast raises his head, helping the young girl out of her stasis pod::

TO_Bailey says:
@::Follows the XO into the room with the creature::

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: I'm afraid so but in a strange way.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Terva: Rhana?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CMO*: How so, Lieutenant?

TO_Bailey says:
@::Watches as the creature extracts a young girl from a cylinder::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the CO's COM:: *CO*: Sir, I was bit.

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Rhana> ::Steps out of the stasis pod and looks around at the XO and TO absentmindedly scratching Terva's neck::

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: The CSO's blood pH factor could effectively, reverse... at some time in the future. Unless I find a remedy.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO*: Ready to transport over, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
<Security>::Checks the cargo bay doors and the emergency blast doors in the cargo bay, since this cargo bay is accessible to space::

CNS_Alana says:
::Standing on pad waiting for transport::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Rhana: Rhana? I'm Commander Kerst, and this is Lieutenant Bailey. We're here to help.

TO_Bailey says:
@::Looks at the young girl and nods::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Finds a comfortable spot and lies down on the cool metal floor::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Rhana> ::Sits down between Terva's front paws::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, go ahead, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
Transporter Chief: You heard the Captain, initialize transport now.  ::Looks over the others as they're beamed over to the shuttle on the alien's ship::

CNS_Alana says:
::Dematerializes and rematerializes in the shuttle::

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Rhana> Away Team: I'm sorry, we don't often have visitors. I'm Rhana, and this is one of my Guardians, Terva. He's a syrinx.

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Watches as the team led by Lieutenant. Torez materializes on the shuttle:: CNS/CEO: Welcome Alana, Commander. The XO left strict orders that no one is to board the alien vessel without his explicit instructions.

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Rhana: Do you know where you are?

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Terva> ::Nods to the Away Team:: ~~~Rhana: We've met~~~

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Rhana> XO: On the ship of course.

CNS_Alana says:
@OPS: Why? What is going on?

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Arrives on the shuttle and starts handing out transporter arm bands:: OPS: Hello, this is for you. ::Hands OPS his armband, then starts setting up the transporter tripod enhancers::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Progress, doc?  ::Winces::

Host XO_Kerst says:
@Rhana: Terva tells us you'd like to go home. Is that true?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
<Security> *CO*: Sir, the cargo bay is ready.  It can hold any creature that the away team brings over and if necessary, it is equipped to neutralize or destroy them if they get out of control.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Finishes setting up the transporter tripods then looks to OPS Spicer:: Self: Uh oh...

CMO_Sovok says:
CSO: I'm thinking you should have upwards of 24 hours though, which gives me plenty of time. I'm not going to let you die.

OPS_Spicer says:
@::Takes the armband:: CNS: Terva is nervous about having so many "two-leggers" as he calls us on board.

CNS_Alana says:
@OPS: From here can we communicate with XO?

CSO_Taliza says:
CSO: You'd better not, doc!

Host ASM_KytraS says:
@<Rhana> XO: Terva may want to go home, but we can't.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Security*: Good job, station a full security detachment outside the cargo bay, armed with phaser rifles, and await further instructions.

OPS_Spicer says:
@CNS: Unfortunately no. We have to send a runner to send messages back and forth.  CEO/CNS: The XO is using Bailey as a messenger.
