Episode 95 "What Happened to Starbase 917?" Part 3: The Luna began to implement their plan when something went wrong. The Counselor sensing something from the other ship voiced her observations which resulted in the Captain questioning Captain Adamson.  The Clones getting agitated knocked out Captain Adamson and began their attack on the Luna.  The Luna managed to make their way to a nearby moon while fighting off fighters from the Ironsword and base. The Operations officer getting the command codes to drop the shields on the other ship managed to get control of it.  The CSO and her adopted brother flying under the radar have managed to get themselves onto the station.  The good doctor in sickbay has a slight problem on his hand since the entity felt threaten and decided to reproduce.  He now has five Captain Adamsons to contend with along with the Counselor who is trying to get a handle on this clones who just want to use her as a host.  The MO is now in the Brig examining Captain Adamson.  What will he discover?  On one of the attack runs a torpedo held true and smashed into the bridge knocking the Captain unconscious leaving the new Executive Officer in charge.

Host XO_Yeung says:
::on the bridge, taking stock of the situation::
TO_Rowe says:
::at TAC 1 trying to eliminate as many fighters as possible, saving torps since he got phasers back, tries to take out as many as possible in single blows::
OPS_Owens says:
::at Operations slaving Ops to a subordinate below decks as the Ironsword is taking all his attention::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::in sickbay::
EO_Mindz says:
::in ME working on the systems::
OPS_Owens says:
::turns to Science seeing no-one there::
OPS_Owens says:
Self:  Blasted....  ::scans the moon himself to see if it'll support life::
CMO_Turok says:
::Continues examining the data on the clones/parasites.::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks to try to boost shield power:: *EO*: Rowe to Mindz you're doing a good job ensign keep up the good work try to spare me some power for shields.
Host XO_Yeung says:
TO: Lt. Rowe, what's the situation with those fighters?
CNS_Anuviel says:
::turns away from the clones and looks at the CMO:: CMO: These things cannot be reasoned with... and while I am a woman of peace, believing violence is not always the best answer... I will not be a sheep for the slaughter.
OPS_Owens says:
::grumbles as he can see it does not.. wonders where he can transport the crew of the Ironsword::

ACTION:  As quickly as they started the fighters back off and take up position around the station.  The Luna is a little worse for wear.  Power fluctuations... Fire on decks 3-6....  Engineering is being run off their feet.

CMO_Turok says:
::Peers into a microscope::  CNS: Perhaps there is hope for you yet.
EO_Mindz says:
::starts to revert some power for the shields:: *TO*: I am working on it.
OPS_Owens says:
*EO* Midshipman...  I'm getting some power fluctuations up here.  Report.
TO_Rowe says:
::looks at his console still  tapping away while reporting to the XO:: XO: I am working on as many of them as possible sir, wait, they have backed off and taken position around the station.
CMO_Turok says:
::Orders his staff to attend to the injured::
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: So what have you discovered? Is there a way to... deal with these things? I don't like the idea of them trying to eat my brain...
EO_Mindz says:
*OPS*: Looking into it now sir.
OPS_Owens says:
::does a few emergency transports to sickbay as per a few requests around the ship::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::frowns:: TO: That's odd, well, we'll take advantage of that.
CMO_Turok says:
*OPS*: It might be prudent to move the creatures we have here to the Brig.  Can you beam them to a cell there?
Host Clone says:
::Tries to walk towards Anuviel but is stopped by the forcefield.::
Host XO_Yeung says:
FCO: Helm, get us a safe distance away from the station and those fighters.
CMO_Turok says:
::Watches the clone and moves a hand closer to the disrupter on his hip.::
Host FCO says:
XO:  Aye Sir.. plotting course to the far side of the moon.  ::engages.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::hears the zorch from the forcefield and jumps a bit:: CMO: See? Those things are just freaky...
Host XO_Yeung says:
::turning to Owens:: OPS: What's our damage, Lt.?
OPS_Owens says:
*CMO* It may have been prudent an hour ago too Commander but acknowledged.  ::initiates the transport of the creatures to the brig::
TO_Rowe says:
::taps his commbadge:: *SecteamB*: Make sure you take care of the panicking crew, help the injured to sickbay and you know the rest, but keep on guard I may need you later, Rowe out.
OPS_Owens says:
::sees if he can change the access codes on the Ironsword himself::

ACTION: The clones dematerialize and appear in the brig.

CMO_Turok says:
CNS: What have you learned of their mental state?  Are they capable of rational thought?
TO_Rowe says:
::Keeps tapping away at his console trying to get the shields to put more power out, he readies the weapons for a full out assault and puts an advanced firing pattern on standby::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Captain, I am getting some power fluctuations in the main EPS Grid.  We have fires on Decks 3, 4, 5 and 6.  Fire suppression systems have been activated.
CMO_Turok says:
::Gets up and prepares to enter the quarantines area to recover the remnants of the dead parasite.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::breathes a sigh of relief:: CMO: Any thought processes seem to be borrowed from the host. All I sense off of them is the need to survive... they don't want anything else.
CMO_Turok says:
::Puts on bio-containment gear::  CNS: So they are simply animals.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods:: OPS: What about the Ironsword? How is she doing?
EO_Mindz says:
*OPS*: The power fluctuations are from the firefight sir I will have to reroute power sir.
OPS_Owens says:
::gives up on trying to circumvent the security systems on the Ironsword::
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: Yes... ::frowns as Betazoids generally don't like the thoughts of animals:: I suppose so.
CMO_Turok says:
::As an afterthought, hands the CNS the disrupter pistol.::  CNS: It is set to maximum, if this creature tries to escape...vaporize it.
TO_Rowe says:
::waits for an opening  to jump in:: XO: Sir, I have readied all weapons and I have deployed Security Teams to the affected decks to help control any panic.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::eyes open wide but plans to do as he says::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: About as well as can be expected sir.  With the Nacelle cleanly removed she is in serious shape.  I've been looking for somewhere to transport the crew too but no luck.  May I convert Cargo Bay Two into a holding cell?
OPS_Owens says:
*EO* Very good Midshipman.  If anyone can do it, I know you will.  Owens out
Host XO_Yeung says:
::turns and nods:: TO: Good. Keep an eye on those fighters.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nervously holds the pistol::
CMO_Turok says:
::Moves to the edge of the forcefield::  Computer: Erect level five forcefield behind me.  Seal sickbay door.  Drop level ten force field.
EO_Mindz says:
::starts reverting power::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::takes a moment to think:: OPS: I guess we can't leave any chance for Starfleet personnel over there. Do it.
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, Engineering is on the Power Fluctuations.  They report...  ::pauses to come up with a best guess::  approximately one hour before the systems are returned to normal
CMO_Turok says:
::Moves to the "body" on the floor and scans it.::
TO_Rowe says:
::nods:: XO: Way ahead of you sir, I am getting sensor readings from the most of them, at least I think. ::taps his commbadge:: *SecteamA*: Report to Cargo Bay two, keep me informed.
OPS_Owens says:
::nods at the XO:: XO: Aye.  ::commands his staff to beam the materials in Cargo Bay Two elsewhere::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods at the TO::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Dr. Turok, how's your situation down in sickbay?
CNS_Anuviel says:
::aims at the creature::
OPS_Owens says:
TO: Lieutenant, can you spare a team to guard the entrance to Cargo Bay Two?
TO_Rowe says:
::continues to work furiously doing multiple things, looks to the OPS:: OPS: Already have sir.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::sends a silent prayer to the gods of Betazed that it does not suddenly come alive and she would have to shoot it::
CMO_Turok says:
*XO*: We are stable.  The clones are in the brig and I am studying the parasite that was killed.

ACTION:  As Turok examines the dead clone it begins to revert back to its parasite state... Getting smaller and smaller.

OPS_Owens says:
::nods::  TO: Good work.  ::begins using the Ironsword's transporters synchronized with the Luna's current shield configuration to beam over the crew to CB2::
CMO_Turok says:
::Takes a sample of the organism, seals it in a tube then watches as the parasite continues to revert back to its original form.  Plops it in a specimen dish before it gets too small.::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Understood. Inform me when you gain some progress on what we're dealing with. How's Captain Adamson?
TO_Rowe says:
<SECteamA&B> ::arrives at destination and reports to the TO::
OPS_Owens says:
TO: I suggest after we complete the crew transfer, that you reconfigure our shield frequency.
CMO_Turok says:
*XO*: Ensign Jon is examining her in the brig.
CMO_Turok says:
::Seals the specimen dish and then initiates a bio-decontamination of the area inside the field.::
TO_Rowe says:
OPS: I am currently rotating every half hour, I will change them when I am notified of the transfer. ::programs the change in and waits for the order::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Good. I'll let you back to work. Yeung out.
OPS_Owens says:
::the Ironsword finally comes alongside the Luna... he brings it to station keeping::
EO_Mindz says:
*OPS*: I am just about through rerouting power sir.

ACTION:  The clones from the Ironsword are transported to the Luna.  None of the original crew are present.

OPS_Owens says:
*EO* Marvelous Midshipman.
OPS_Owens says:
::notes something curious in the transporter logs::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::senses a large influx of the same type of minds that were on the station and the Ironsword and gasps::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks around strangely, and quickly pulls up a list of all of the live animals on board::
CNS_Anuviel says:
*XO*: Bridge? What's going on?
Host XO_Yeung says:
OPS: The Ironsword crew are all locked up nice and safe?
CMO_Turok says:
::Waits for the decontamination to finish.  Then scans the area for signs of any remaining parasites.::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, in my transport of the Ironsword's crew, I note that I didn't receive any of the "actual" Crewmembers.  Just the clones.
TO_Rowe says:
::hearing the OPS, he finishes up the file he was looking at and continues to monitor the fighters, and many other things::
OPS_Owens says:
::scans the Ironsword for life::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CNS*: We've beamed the survivors of the Ironsword in a locked down Cargo Bay, counselor.
CMO_Turok says:
::Noting that the area is clear, drops the forcefield, releases the doors to Sickbay and then strips off the bio-hazard gear.::
OPS_Owens says:
::turns to the TO::  TO: You may rotate our current shield frequency Lieutenant.
EO_Mindz says:
*OPS*: I have finished and power should be restored sir.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::frowns:: OPS: That's very eerie. On the first sign of trouble, I want them beamed off the ship, understood?
CNS_Anuviel says:
*XO*: Sir? Those aren't survivors.... those are clones! I sensed them immediately when they were beamed on board... ::sounds nervous::
TO_Rowe says:
::nods to the OPS, and begins to rotate...after about 30 seconds he finally reports:: OPS: Rotation in progress.
CMO_Turok says:
::Hears the XO and prepares to order his remaining teams to check them out for any injuries or parasitic infection.::
OPS_Owens says:
::hearing the EO he checks the ship's output and nods appreciatively::  *EO* I think you deserve a raise Midshipman.  Owens out.
CMO_Turok says:
::Stops when he hears the CNS.::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CNS*: Yes, we just found out ourselves. We've got security forces in place.
CMO_Turok says:
CNS: You can't be serious.  That idiot just brought 500 or more lethal creatures onto our ship!
CNS_Anuviel says:
::furrows her brow, does not like this at all. wonders if she should be more strict about getting everyone in for their psychological evals... if she survives:: CMO: I am afraid so.
TO_Rowe says:
::looks surprised:: XO: Sir, I have all the faith in my security but they cannot take an entire crew, not if they react the way the clone did in sickbay to our phasers, I recommend we dump the clones immediately.
CMO_Turok says:
CNS: I never believed I would be sorry that Savar was not in charge.  ::Feels the rage building.::
OPS_Owens says:
::sighs::  *XO* Sir, I have completed my scans of the Ironsword.  I do not read any signs of life currently aboard.  I think those clones either A) Have taken complete control over the crew's bodies and have essentially become one of them, or B) Have left the crew somewhere.
CMO_Turok says:
::Calls his entire medical staff to Sickbay for an emergency meeting.::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Shall I beam the clones back to the Ironsword?
Host XO_Yeung says:
::paces around, thinking::
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: I can feel you anger.... and... ::sees he starts bringing in his personnel:: what are you doing?
Host XO_Yeung says:
::stops and nods:: OPS: Do it.  They're nothing but trouble for now.
TO_Rowe says:
<sec team A leader> ::looks around:: *Rowe*: Sir, I may be overreacting but these crewmembers sure are eyeing this door.
CMO_Turok says:
CNS: Preparing for the worst.  Keep the disrupter and remain here.
OPS_Owens says:
::thinks for a moment::  *CMO* Commander, in your scans of these clones, do they actually require air to survive?  Or an atmosphere of any kind?
CNS_Anuviel says:
::looks scared:: CMO: But but but...
TO_Rowe says:
*SecTeamALeader*: Acknowledged. *all Sec teams*: All available security teams please report to cargo bay 2.
TO_Rowe says:
::shakes his head:: XO: Sir, I do not like this, my teams have reported that the clones are "eyeing the door".
CMO_Turok says:
::Sarcastically::  *OPS*: Why?  Is there not enough air in the cargo bay to keep our invaders comfortable?  They require oxygen to replicate, I have not had time to study their actual biological functions.  Beam one into space and see what happens, it will be a good experiment.
Host XO_Yeung says:
OPS: Beam them back to the Ironsword. We've still got control of her, correct?
CNS_Anuviel says:
::sits down and tries to sense what is going on with the ship and finds something surprising:: CMO: I have to go to the brig... If I am not mistaken... the parasites are trying to communicate with their hosts some how...
OPS_Owens says:
*CMO* Commander, you will give me the respect I deserve!  Now you will bloody well find out or there WILL be hell to pay!  Owens out.  ::hopes the new XO has a talk with that man::
CMO_Turok says:
::As the Sickbay staff assemble, begins informing them of a potential hostile force aboard.  Instructs them to arms themselves and await further orders.::
CMO_Turok says:
::Pauses, thought he WAS giving him the respect he deserved.::
OPS_Owens says:
::transports the crew back to the Ironsword for now::
TO_Rowe says:
<SecTeams> ::arrives at CB2::
Host XO_Yeung says:
TO: Have your security teams confirm that they're all gone.

ACTION: The crew is transported back to the Ironsword.  They pick up where they left off however - trying to regain control of the ship.

CMO_Turok says:
CNS: Very well, but be sure you have security with you.  And remember, stun does not work, it only causes them to replicate.  If you are forced to shoot, disintegrate them.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nods:: CMO: Um... Sir... do you want your disruptor back?
TO_Rowe says:
::nods to the XO:: *SecTeams*: If all of the crew is gone please report back to your stations. Rowe out.
CMO_Turok says:
::Confident that his staff is preparing, and that the wounded from the combat are being attended too, Turok returns to the lab to study the creatures.  CNS: No, you may return it to me when you are through down there.
OPS_Owens says:
::prepares to overload the Ironsword's core at the first sign of losing control::
CMO_Turok says:
CNS: Qa'pla Lieutenant.
TO_Rowe says:
::notes on his panel that the security teams are returning:: XO: The teams have confirmed the crew is all gone from the Cargo Bay
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nods and accepts that as a compliment, goes to the brig::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods toward the TO:: TO: Those fighters still holding position at the Starbase?
TO_Rowe says:
::sees a small refection of himself and notes that he needs to replace the black pip on his collar:: XO: Yes sir.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::while in the lift, listens to the activity of the minds in the brig as she gets closer to the level::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::thinks for a moment::
EO_Mindz says:
::run scans over the systems::
CMO_Turok says:
::Studies the samples taken of the parasite.  Notes the original creature is no longer visible inside the specimen dish and places it in the high-power microscope.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::arrives at Brig:: *XO*: The parasites in the brig that are attached to Adamson's clones are trying to communicate with it.... there seems now to be a minute hive mind...
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, what should we do about this clone situation?  We have to find out what is going on here.
OPS_Owens says:
::hearing the CNS's words he feels a cold chill up his spine::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks around the bridge thinking:: All: Is it possible that the parasite took control of the Starbase and then took the actual crew of the Ironsword and help  them hostage?
OPS_Owens says:
::turns to the TO::  TO: You think they maybe all on the station on those two decks?
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods at OPS:: *ALL*: All senior staff meet for command meeting in the observation lounge.
TO_Rowe says:
::looks to the XO:: XO: Sir, request permission to stay on the bridge to monitor the situation with the fighters.
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, request to remain on the bridge to keep an eye on things here.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::frowns:: *XO*: On my way.
Host XO_Yeung says:
TO/OPS: Don't worry, just inform your subordinate to inform us at first move.
CMO_Turok says:
*XO*: Sir, as Lieutenant Owens has ORDERED me to remain here and gain insight into this creature, I feel I should remain here and comply.
OPS_Owens says:
::looks at the TO then the XO::  XO: Sir, Mr. Rowe can adequately keep an eye on things here.  I defer to his ability
TO_Rowe says:
::waves his subordinate over:: Sub_TO: I want you to inform me of the slightest change in ANYTHING, if I come out of that lounge and see something on this console has changes I will personally see that you are transferred or thrown out of the airlock.
Host XO_Yeung says:
ALL: Things are quiet for the moment. We need to get things in order here. Let's go.
OPS_Owens says:
::heads to the Obs Lounge with the rest::
TO_Rowe says:
<Sub_TO> ::sheepishly nods::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::arrives in the Observation Lounge::
CMO_Turok says:
::Has several lab techs prepare various tests.::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::enters the obs lounge:: *CMO*: All right, but keep an open channel with us. We'll need you to give us your initial insight about these creatures.
TO_Rowe says:
::heads to the OL and stands at his normal position to the left of the captain but out of the way and in the shadows, leaning against the wall, hopes the XO doesn't mind, since Harm never seemed to care::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::motions at everyone to take a seat::
OPS_Owens says:
::takes up a seat next to the XO::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::looks at the TO curiously::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks to the XO, and wonders if he realizes that ever since he has came on board thati has never sat down around him::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::takes a seat::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::stares for a moment, then shrugs, as its not important now::
TO_Rowe says:
::nods happy with his position::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, I think the key is first in understanding these beings.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::looking around:: *EO*: Ens. Mindz, are you coming to join us?
EO_Mindz says:
::enters the OL and takes a seat::
TO_Rowe says:
::shakes his head:: XO: I disagree we should rid ourselves of the danger and of the danger  to the Starbase crew as well.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods at OPS then turns to Anuviel:: CNS: Counselor, have you managed to talk to these creatures?
CNS_Anuviel says:
XO: Not really. All they kept saying to me was "lie down and be a good host" all they wanted to do was... :;shifts uncomfortably:: Eat my brain. However... only  a few moments ago... I sensed the parasites trying to communicate with their hosts... but I couldn't make anything of it... except for the minute hive mind I sensed.
OPS_Owens says:
::thinks that is the first time he has seen the CNS show any sign of being uncomfortable::
Host XO_Yeung says:
CNS: Hosts? You mean they are still using the crew of the Ironsword?
OPS_Owens says:
*CMO* Doctor, do you think there may be a way to simulate an entrance into the hive mind in order to communicate and understand them better?
TO_Rowe says:
::grimaces at the mention of eating brains:: XO: The CNS only affirms my beliefs sir, they are hostile, from their attack on us from the beginning they have been...they should be eradicated, the entire crew of the Luna is in danger as well as yourself sir.
OPS_Owens says:
TO: They are only merely trying to survive Lieutenant, just like you or I.
CNS_Anuviel says:
XO: The parasites duplicate their hosts bodies and they seem to be trying to communicate with those as well... I can only barely sense what is going on with all of that in the brig.
TO_Rowe says:
::shoots a glance to the OPS:: OPS: Are you volunteering to let them "survive" on your brain sir?
OPS_Owens says:
TO: Lieutenant, I understand your feelings, but please remember your place.
Host XO_Yeung says:
OPS/TO: Settle down, people. We'll be in a better position to make our decision when we know the facts.
OPS_Owens says:
TO: There are always... options.
TO_Rowe says:
::looks to the OPS:: OPS: I am in my place perfectly sir, one of my jobs is to protect this crew and we are in danger here, surely you can see that.
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Doctor, what have you learned on the physiology of these parasites?
CNS_Anuviel says:
OPS: Everyone has a survival instinct.... the conflict comes when their survival instinct impinges on another's... as such... the creatures, such as they are, cannot be reasoned with - they operate on animal instinct....  I agree with the TO... they must be destroyed.
OPS_Owens says:
::makes a note to see if the counselor has a moment to have a talk with the TO and his current trend in assisting the CMO in poor treatment of his superiors::
OPS_Owens says:
CNS: Counselor, then my people should have been destroyed hundreds of years ago when we killed other lifeforms for our own survival.  We learned an alternative.  Maybe these creatures can too.
CMO_Turok says:
*OPS* : So far I have learned little.  These creatures are not native to this sector, and they seem to thrive in our atmospheric conditions.
TO_Rowe says:
::shakes his head:: OPS: That would be like training a dog sir, I could sense them when they came onboard, their only instinct is to survive, they have no other higher functions of the brain from my experience, the doctor would be able to tell you for certain.
CMO_Turok says:
*ALL*: I cannot begin to see how we could enter into their hive without putting the subject at great risk.
CNS_Anuviel says:
OPS: Your own people being the human race? These parasites were unnaturally gifted intelligence - an intelligence they would not have and access to technology they would not have had they not inhabited these beings... ::pauses:: How did these things get here to inhabit these beings?
OPS_Owens says:
*CMO* Then perhaps that is the key.  Find an atmosphere that won't kill them but will at least slow their progress.
CMO_Turok says:
*OPS*: We are testing that now.
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Do you know what exactly did they do to Captain Adamson?
OPS_Owens says:
::nods::  *CMO* Very good Commander.  ::almost apologizes but remembers that is an insult to Klingons::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks around and then decides that if the crew is all turned into mindless zombies he is at fault for it, oh well::
CMO_Turok says:
*XO*: Ensign Jon is examining her, I do not have her results yet.
TO_Rowe says:
::continues his thought: that would be an improvement for some of them I suppose::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::turns to Mindz:: EO: What's the status of our repairs, ensign?
EO_Mindz says:
XO: I believe that the repairs are just about finished sir.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::nods at the EO::
Host XO_Yeung says:
ALL: All right, what are your final suggestions on our next move?
CMO_Turok says:
::Listens to a lab tech and nods.::
OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, I think the key is in the Doctor's research.  There lies our answers.
CNS_Anuviel says:
XO: If these things are not native to this area... they need to be returned to their natural environment.... And we need to know how they got here so no one gets infected again.
CMO_Turok says:
*All*: We may have something here.  These creatures show similarities to some found in the Delta quadrant, according to the Voyager logs.
TO_Rowe says:
::nods:: XO: I think the key is in that Starbase sir, those lower decks tickle my instincts.
OPS_Owens says:
::wonders when the CNS changed her mind from "Kill" "Destroy"::
CMO_Turok says:
::Has the lab set up an atmosphere chamber::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CMO*: Delta quadrant? What is known about these creatures?
CMO_Turok says:
*ALL*: Can the brig cell be made to withstand internal conditions duplicating a demon class world?

ACTION:  As the meeting progresses, the clones in the brig begin a constant attack on the shields.  They continue to throw themselves against it.  Lts Anuviel and Rowe are bombarded with thoughts of escape and the need to get out of their confinement.

CMO_Turok says:
*XO*: Very little, but they both share mimetic qualities.  And these appear to have originated on a Demon planet.
OPS_Owens says:
::looks to the TO::  *CMO*/All: I believe it could.  TO: Lieutenant?
CNS_Anuviel says:
::reflexively reaches for her head:: All: The clones are trying to escape!
TO_Rowe says:
::nods:: OPS: The brig is a.......::Stops::
OPS_Owens says:
::snaps his attention to the CNS then exits to the bridge::
OPS_Owens says:
::arrives at his console scanning the area in the brig::
TO_Rowe says:
::looks to the XO:: XO: The CNS is right they are very much in need of escape.
Host XO_Yeung says:
::snaps his head to Rowe:: TO: Reinforce security down there.
CMO_Turok says:
::Begins testing the parasite samples in the atmosphere chamber.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::furrows her brow:: All: But why? ::leaves the room quickly::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::gets in the lift and tries reaching out with her mind to understand why they are suddenly agitated::
OPS_Owens says:
::sees the counselor arrive on the bridge::  CNS: Are you alright, Counselor?
Host XO_Yeung says:
ALL: All right. We're going to hold position and continue analysis of these creatures.
OPS_Owens says:
::sees her enter the lift quickly::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*OPS*: Inform Starfleet command of our situation and that of the Ironsword.

::heads to the bridge taking back TAC 1::
OPS_Owens says:
::goes back to scanning the brig and keeps a subsystem locked on the CNS bio-readings::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::feels choked, confined in the lift:: *XO*: The clones are feeling claustrophobic.

ACTION:  Bit by bit, the forcefield begins to fail.  The tactical officers take up a position of attack.

CNS_Anuviel says:
::arrives in the brig::
Host XO_Yeung says:
::walks onto the bridge::
Host XO_Yeung says:
*CNS*: Any idea why?
OPS_Owens says:
*XO* Aye sir.  ::sends a coded message to Starfleet thinking it's useless since every code both he and Starfleet has.... the stations has too::
TO_Rowe says:
<SecTeam> *Rowe*: Sir the clones in the brig are slowly escaping.
Host XO_Yeung says:
OPS: Get a lock on those clones. If they escape, beam them to the Ironsword.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::is afraid, aims the disruptor at them:: Tactical: Stun won't do it... shoot to kill.
CNS_Anuviel says:
*XO*: No idea, but the forcefield has collapsed...
TO_Rowe says:
*SecTeam*: Fire to kill, stun does not affect them.
OPS_Owens says:
::hears the TO and decides they have escaped... locks on and transports::
