Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

The away team consisting of Captain Marek, Lieutenant Masters and Lieutenant T`pucnamushi discovered 900 plus life forms in stasis of various species aboard the mysterious sphere.

In an effort to send his Klingon brethren to Stovokor TO Lieutenant Masters deactivated the stasis pods setting off an alarm throughout the sphere.  The unconscious Klingon's life signs immediately began to decline.

CSO Lieutenant T`pucnamushi is now desperately trying to undo the damage that Masters has caused and the mystery of the sphere's purpose still alludes them.

Meanwhile back on the station…

Commanders Spicer and Rr`Vellan have returned to the station from Starfleet Command where they gave testimony regarding the Trandarus incident.

Commander Spicer relieved Admiral Mitchell of command so she could report to the Observation Lounge to meet with the visiting Federation Ambassadors and representatives who are demanding to know what is going on.

Admiral Mitchell in an effort to calm the situation in the Observation Lounge ordered two security teams armed with large quantities of food to report to the Observation Lounge.

The station remains at yellow alert status...

Time lapse since boarding the sphere: 23 minutes…

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*TO*: What's going on overr therre?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The alarm aboard the sphere is very loud.  Scans of the sphere's systems show some sort of disturbance aboard the sphere.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: Any last minute idea, Lieutenant?

TO_Masters says:
@::Wonders about the alarms:: CO: Captain, I didn't mean for this to happen.  I just wanted to free the Klingons to Sto-vo-kor, not kill the others.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Reading and adjusting and pressing buttons::

CO_Marek says:
@TO: We will discuss that later, Lieutenant Just try to cut the power of the alarm!

TO_Masters says:
@*CTO*: I made a mistake, commander.  I'll get back with you later.  ::Tries to stop the process::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: By randomly pressing several buttons on the console the CSO accidentally brings up the stasis pod display screen.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:

@::Goes to help::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*: Yes, of course, Captain! ::Monitors the sensor readings of the sphere::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: Whats you be thinking these icons mean?

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: How about that little red icon there?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A rumbling sound echoes throughout the sphere as the sphere's engines suddenly come online.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: That could be the power control... maybe... ::Raises an eyebrow::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: What??  What thats a rumbling sound?

TO_Masters says:
@::Looks at tricorder:: CSO: The engines have ignited.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO/TO: I think we are getting into deep trouble minute by minute here...

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm rreading a powerrr surrge coming frrom the spherre....the engines arre online!

CO_Marek says:
@TO: Try to link the tricorder to the computer... we need to stop them

TO_Masters says:
@CO: Aye.  ::Tries to do an uplink::

CO_Marek says:
@*CTO*: You are right, Commander.  We will try to put them offline.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: Be holdings onto your butts. ::Presses the button next to the red icon the Captain pointed out a moment ago::

CO_Marek says:
@::Crosses his fingers::

TO_Masters says:
@::Braces himself while continuing to link into the computer with his tricorder::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The red button reactivated the Klingon stasis pods and the alarm suddenly shuts down.

CO_Marek says:
@*CTO*: Bring the station to red alert!

TO_Masters says:
@CSO: The good news, Lieutenant, the alarm's off.  The bad news, the Klingons are still prisoners here.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain! ::Turns on the red alert::

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: What happened? ::Sounds relieved:

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Sigh of relief:: CO: But they will be livings

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: We foundeds the button to shutted off the alarms and reactivateds the stasis podages is whats be happening

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The station goes to red alert status.  Everyone in the Observation Lounge is nervous and they are demanding to know what is going on.  Visitors in the amusement park begin panicking and storm the exits.  People are getting trampled.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: Are the people on the pods still alive? ::Sounds naive::

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Bao, dispatch security teams at all exits and try to regain control of the crowds.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: Yes, Capitains, they will be livings.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Taps on her console:: XO: Alrready on it, Rrick. *Bailey*: I hope you'rre not busy, cause I have a doozy of a job forrr you!

TO_Masters says:
@::Continues to try to access the sphere computer through his tricorder::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> *CTO*: Sorry, Commander, we have our hands full in the Observation Lounge.  I can't leave the Admiral.

CO_Marek says:
@TO: Try to gain access to the engines... We need to have full control of them right now.

TO_Masters says:
@CO: Sir, I'm trying everything I know to hack in.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: After several attempts to link his tricorder to the sphere's computer, TO Masters is successful and has partial control.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*Bailey*: It's alrright, you make surre everrything's okay in the Lounge. *Security Teams 3 & 4*: Security teams three and four, get yourrr butts down to the parrk now!

TO_Masters says:
@CO: I'm in.  ::Tries to turn off the engines::

CO_Marek says:
@CSO: Can you manage to revive someone? We need to interrogate them.

CO_Marek says:
@TO: Good job, Lieutenant.  Shut them down now!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The engines on the sphere suddenly power down and go into "sleep mode".

TO_Masters says:
@CO: Done.

CO_Marek says:
@*CTO*: Cancel red alert, Commander ::Mumbles:: Maybe I overreacted to the situation.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Rrrick, the engines have powerred down...thank God.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*: Underrstood, Sirr. ::Cancels the red alert::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: Be askings them the questions, yes...interrigates..no.  They not prisoners, at least not our prisoners, right?  ::Presses a button next to a green icon::

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Excellent.  Now see if we can put a tractor beam on that sphere to prevent it from moving.

TO_Masters says:
@*CTO/XO*: Commander Rr'Vellan, Commander Spicer, Masters here.  Could you link into my tricorder and see how things are run over here?

CO_Marek says:
@*XO*: Report the situation to the Admiral. We have gained access to the computer.

XO_Spicer says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO/TO: I think we should return to the station and use the computer to control the sphere.

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Link the ship's computers to the TO's tricorder.

CO_Marek says:
@TO: Send the proper link path to the Kootenai computer.

CO_Marek says:
@CSO/TO: Let us proceed .

TO_Masters says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends the link path::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Activates the tractor beam:: XO: I got it, Rrick, wherre do you want it to go?

XO_Spicer says:
*Admiral*: Admiral, the away team has managed to access the sphere's computer. We are attempting to gain control of it now.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.  Has the away team determined exactly what the sphere is?

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Tries the blue icon, when nothing happens with the green::

XO_Spicer says:
*Admiral*: Not yet. We hope to discover that shortly.

CO_Marek says:
@::Trots down the corridor to the best position for the transport:: CSO/TO: Let's beam back to the runabout. 

TO_Masters says:
@::Prepares for beam out::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Sighs:: XO*: Very well.  I require another security team in the observation lounge and more....more food, Commander!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO's attempt to revive one of the unconscious life forms fails.

XO_Spicer says:
*Admiral*: Consider it on the way, Admiral

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Bao, more food and security to the Observation Lounge.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Dammit Rrick, I'm a CTO not a caterring serrvice.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CO: I cannots get a podage to be reviving.

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Well, Bao, right now you are the Chief Housekeeping Officer. Now get that security team and food to the Observation Lounge now.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Tries the yellow icon::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO presses the yellow icon and activates the sphere's transporter system.  It locks onto the away team and sends them directly to Main Operations aboard the station, leaving the runabout empty and floating in space.

TO_Masters says:
@::Tries something from his access to the computer, attempts a revive sequence...only it fails upon transport::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Waves fist playfully:: XO: One of these days Rrick....one of these days. ::Grins and sends the message along to her tactical teams::

CO_Marek says:
::Finds himself back on the station:: All: Either the runabout bridge got bigger or we have returned to the station, gentlemen.

TO_Masters says:
CSO: What did you do, T'pucnamushi?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CTO picks up another energy surge aboard the sphere.

CO_Marek says:
::Runs to the center of Main Operations::

TO_Masters says:
::Rushes over to the tactical station::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Checks her console:: CO: Captain...therre's anotherr enerry surrge!

CO_Marek says:
CTO: Identify it!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Sarcastically:: TO: We left OZ.

CO_Marek says:
XO: How is the situation aboard with the dignitaries and the crowds, Rick?

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Welcome back Captain, I think?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: It's....it's a feedback loop, Sirr.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere sends a powerful surge through the tractor beam, disabling it.  The engines power up and it begins moving towards the station.

TO_Masters says:
::Sees the feedback loop:: CTO: Ma'am, did our link into their computer cause this?

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Uhhh... the Admiral has her hands full but she is keeping them occupied and mouths full.

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Shields at maximum

CO_Marek says:
::Hits the chair console with his right fist:: CTO: Just when we thought we discovered how to control it... Raise shields!!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
TO: What's it be looking like I did. Apparentlys the last buttons I pushed was the sphere's transporterage system. ::Looks at the CO, with a "Is he serious? What's he mean what happened? look::

CO_Marek says:
CTO/XO: Red alert…again…

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Rolls eyes and shakes head::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO/CO: Yes, of courrse.  ::Raises the shields and reinstates red alert::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere's transporter beams begin snatching people from all over the station including Starfleet personnel, park visitors, workers, even animals.

TO_Masters says:
::Tries to hack back into the sphere computer to stop it::

CO_Marek says:
CTO: Try to block the transport signal!  Scramble its frequency!

XO_Spicer says:
CTO: Remodulate the shield frequency to try to stop their transporters.

CO_Marek says:
TO: Rotate the shield harmonics!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Climbs into his chair at the science station::

TO_Masters says:
CO/XO: No use, sirs.  I'm trying to shut the sphere itself down.

XO_Spicer says:
OPS: Try to lock on to our people and bring them back!

CO_Marek says:
TO: Raise force fields at all levels!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Everyone that is transported to the sphere is automatically put into a stasis pod.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks from the CO to the XO and back again:: CO/XO: I'm on it. ::Taps hard and fast on her console::

XO_Spicer says:
<OPS> XO: Aye Sir. ::Begins to try to lock on with the transporters::

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Regain access to the sphere’s computer!

TO_Masters says:
::Raises force fields, while still attempting to hack into the sphere::

CO_Marek says:
XO: We need to adopt desperate measures here.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The TO's attempts at hacking into the sphere’s systems are futile.  The system is now fully powered and the shields are impenetrable.

TO_Masters says:
CO/XO: I can't get through.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Taps buttons on his console in attempt to regain computer access::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Moves towards the Ambassadors to keep them off of the Admiral:: All: Get back, please!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A transporter beam appears in the observation lounge taking the Admiral, Bailey and several of the Ambassadors.

TO_Masters says:
::Checks internal sensors:: CO: SIR!  The Admiral, Lieutenant Bailey and several ambassadors are gone!

CO_Marek says:
::Looks at XO and then glances at the CTO:: All: For all the Universes sake.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Curses in Chinese::

TO_Masters says:
::Curses in Klingon::

CO_Marek says:
All: We need to locate the source of the sphere’s transport beams.  Maybe a good phaser shot will disable it.

CO_Marek says:
XO: Suggestions, Number one??

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere's transporter beam suddenly appears in Bao's quarters, transporting the two babies and Bao's mother aboard the sphere.

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Commander, the sphere has transported something out of... out of your quarters!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: What? Who? ::Checks the scans:: Self: No....no it can't be..

TO_Masters says:
::Rewinds sensor logs:: CTO: I read a Cait and two half-Caits.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere suddenly stops its "harvesting" of the station's occupants and heads towards the outer markers.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Captain, we have to stop it! It has my babies!

CO_Marek says:
CTO: Commander, track their course!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
OPS: Be locking a tractor beamage on that thing or somethings, don't let it gets away.

CO_Marek says:
XO: Inform Starfleet Command of our situation!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The station begins to rumble again as the power fluctuates.  Another subspace distortion is opening up at the same coordinates as before.

TO_Masters says:
::Whispers:: CTO: If you want to go after that thing, count me in.

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends a transmission to Starfleet of the current situation::

TO_Masters says:
CO: Sir!  It's trying to get away!

CO_Marek says:
XO: Get the San Carlo ready!  We will chase it!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
OPS: Where's my tractor beaming!!!!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Slings on a phaser rifle and runs to the turbolift:: TO: Come on, come on!

XO_Spicer says:
CO: I'm on it.  ::Moves to the OPS console and issues the appropriate orders::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<OPS> CSO: The tractor beam is offline!

TO_Masters says:
::Grabs his bat'leth and compression phaser, then follows CTO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<OPS> ::Moves aside as the XO takes over at OPS:: XO: The tractor beam is offline, Sir!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Runs down to OPS, yanks off  the tractor beam access panel and attempts a power reroute to get it online::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere approaches the subspace distortion as the rumbling aboard the station escalates.  The power on the station fluctuates.

XO_Spicer says:
OPS: Then get it back online. Right now!

TO_Masters says:
All: Forget the tractor beam!  We have to get on the San Carlos to chase that thing and get our people back!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<OPS> XO: Aye, Sir!  ::Stabs buttons like there is no tomorrow::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Captain, we need to get going now! ::Enters the turbolift::  TO: Come on, we'll rrun the whole way if we have too!

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Right behind you, Ma'am.

CO_Marek says:
CTO: On my way, Commander!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The sphere enters the subspace distortion and as quickly as it appeared it disappears.

CO_Marek says:
XO: Ask the computer the coordinates of a similar event to our inauguration ceremony taking place nearby. I got a feeling that the sphere is heading there now.

CO_Marek says:
::Rushes into the turbolift:: TL: Come on! Come on!

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Right behind you, Sir.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath as the turbolift speeds them to the docking bay::

CO_Marek says:
::Exits the turbolift and runs to the San Carlo Bridge::

TO_Masters says:
::Enters San Carlo and moves to tactical::

CO_Marek says:
All: Full speed ahead.  Forget the protocols!  We need to get going!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: We gotta find that spherre!

CO_Marek says:
XO: Set a course to the last known position of the sphere!

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Possible destinations of the sphere?

TO_Masters says:
::Scans the outer markers for indications of a course::

CO_Marek says:
CTO/TO: Be ready for an away team when we find the sphere!

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Takes the helm and lays in a course::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Beams himself to the San Carlo Bridge::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: I'm rready now, Sirr. ::Growls under her breath::

CO_Marek says:
All: Were is the CSO? ::Looks at his console on the Bridge::

CO_Marek says:
::Sees the CSO materializing::

TO_Masters says:
CSO: What took ya?

CO_Marek says:
All: Engage!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Jumps into seat at science:: CO: The sphere has been gone back into the distortion and it is closedeed up.

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Calculate its possible destinations.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The San Carlo launches from the station and breaks the speed limit towards the last coordinates of the subspace distortion.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Looks at TO with a "Shut up" look::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Calculating::

XO_Spicer says:
::Takes the San Carlo to the Outer Markers on an intercept path with the sphere::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Captains, I need controlage of the deflector dish.  I wants to reopens the distortion, I cans then be gettins mea trajectory fix on the sphere

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Granted.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CSO: Do what you must...I have to get my babies back!

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Configures the deflector dish to match the reading taken when the distortion first appeared::

TO_Masters says:
All: And this time, it's personal.

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Good point. In this case, you have the green light to proceed.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The San Carlo reaches the coordinates.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Firings deflector dish…::Fires the deflector dish::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A powerful beam emanates from the deflector dish.  After a few seconds a subspace distortion begins to form.

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Report!

TO_Masters says:
Self: Watch out whoever you are...

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the distortion forms the San Carlo begins to shudder under the tremendous energy stress.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: I be openings the distortions now. OPS: Onscreen.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Extends her claws as she grips the back of the TO's chair:: Self: Mommy's coming, don't worry.

CO_Marek says:
XO: Maintain course, Commander!

XO_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<OPS> ::Taps the console activating the viewscreen::

TO_Masters says:
CTO: Watch those claws, Commander.

CO_Marek says:
CSO: Very well. ::Observes the screen::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: See? There she be....::Points at distortion::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks down:: TO: Oh. Sorry...

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The distortion continues to grow larger and larger.  Soon it is larger than when it first appeared.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
::Calculating trajectories::  CO: We will be having us only a few minutes after I shuts down the deflectors dish.
