CSO_Singh says:
::On her way to sickbay.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: At main OPS, loving the feel of her console ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::on the bridge, making some final preparations for the mission at hand, sighing softly feeling a slight pressure to succeed::  *Johnson*: Jarot to Johnson, Micheal, have the teams get ready...we're nearing our eta...
CNS_Franklin says:
::Preparing to beam down to the planet's surface... feeling rather nervous about this.  Can we bring security?!?::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Ensures power to transporters are sufficient ::
Host XO_Jarek says:
:: preparing to transport to the surface::
CSO_Singh says:
::Pausing at the large glass doors, she looks into the busy, but orderly hive of activity.::
Host Nurse_Betty says:
::Waves to pretty young Science officer.::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sends a message to the Quartermaster about the dog food in her quarters, asking it be cleaned up as quickly as possible ::
CNS_Franklin says:
XO: I.. believe I am ready, sir.
CSO_Singh says:
::Sighs, resigned, and steps in.::  Nurse:  I see you have things are running smoothly here.
Host Nurse_Betty says:
CSO:  Yeah I suppose so.   You hear to see the corpse?
Host XO_Jarek says:
Away team: Is everyone ready?
Host Jacob says:
@::Standing at the rendezvous point.  Waiting...plotting.::
Host XO_Jarek says:
::Whispers his Scottish Brogue::
CSO_Singh says:
::Turns slightly pale and mutters under her breath::  Did I ever mention I don't like the site of blood?  Loud enough for Betty to hear.  Nurse:  Yes please  Has the autopsy been completed?  Also, I have been given Doctor Lynch's task of setting up sickbay for casualties.  And I have a feeling, we will probably have plenty.  ::Remembering what her brother had told her.::  I believe we will need to set up another room for triage.

ACTION:  Gopher is at the transporter controls.

CTO_Jarot says:
::sighs at the absence of Lingn at this crucial point in time::  *CSO*: Jarot to Singh... come in please...
CSO_Singh says:
*CTO*:  Singh here.
Host XO_Jarek says:
Gopher: You may transport when everyone is ready
Host Nurse_Betty says:
CSO:  Of course...  The autopsy is now on my desk.  You are more then welcome to it.   Basically his brain exploded.
CTO_Jarot says:
*CSO*: Harm...  I need another qualified officer to accompany me on the rescue mission....
Host Gopher says:
XO:  Okie dokie.... ::Initiates transport...and for once gets it right.  The away team materializes in front of Jacob.::
CNS_Franklin says:
@::Rematerializes on the surface of the moon::
Host XO_Jarek says:
@:: Materializes in front of Jacob::
Host Jacob says:
@::Smiles as he sees his guests appear... shakes his head slightly since Quest is not with them... this should be good.::  All:  Welcome.
Host XO_Jarek says:
@:: In a perfect Scottish Brogue:: Allow me ta intraduce maself and ma Counselor, I am Captain MacPherson-Quest and this is Counselor Franklin
CSO_Singh says:
Nurse:  His brain exploded?  ::Sighs her stomach a bit quizzy.::
Host Jacob says:
@::Face serious.:: XO:  Welcome Capt and Counselor.  I hope you brought all you negotiation skills... you see I'm not in a very good mood.
CSO_Singh says:
*CTO*:  Go with you on the mission or look an exploded brain... that one is too easy.  I will go with you.
CNS_Franklin says:
@::Suddenly wishes he was a telepath, although it might not help::

ACTION:  In the background two Nausicans hold a bloodied Richards by his arms... it seems that an eyeball is hanging down.

Host XO_Jarek says:
@Jacob: Aye lad.. That ah can see
OPS-Qui says:
:: Checks her lock on the Away Team and sees it is strong ::
Host Jacob says:
@XO/CNS:  I thought I'd bring Lt Richard's along too.

ACTION:  Qui looses the lock on the Away Team.

Host Jacob says:
@XO/CNS:  I'm sorry though... I had to cut your lock.  I can't afford any intrusions.
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::  *CSO*: Then you're hired....  I'll be trying to cover our signatures as we enter the structure... then we can drop the security facilities and get the anesthezine pumping through the compound....
OPS-Qui says:
:: Notes the lock is lost. Her fingers start to fly over her console as she trys to get that lock back ::
Host XO_Jarek says:
@Jacob: Harming a Federation Citizen won't help the talks, lad
CSO_Singh says:
*CTO*:  Where are you and what do I need?
Host Jacob says:
@XO:  He is a monster not a citizen.  You know 5 people disappeared since he came here?
Host XO_Jarek says:
@Jacob: However ah am willing ta talk
ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks out on the Bridge from the Ready Room:: OPS: Is all the players in place?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees nothing is working, so tries obtaining the last medical bio information to input into the transporters ::
CNS_Franklin says:
@Self: Disappeared?
CSO_Singh says:
Nurse:  Betty, you are more then qualified to set up for casualties, more so then I.  Get me a report on the Nausican as well as the set up.  I will see you when I get back.  ::Making her way out the door as she speaks::
Host XO_Jarek says:
@Jacob: An what proof do ya have he was involved?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Turns around a bit flustered ::  ACO: Sir!  I've lost the lock on the Away Team.  I'm in the process of getting it back...if I can
CTO_Jarot says:
*CSO*: We'll arrange your equipment as we go along...  I'm on the bridge at the moment...
Host Jacob says:
@XO/CNS:  And besides I don't like it here anymore and I'd like to go.  ::Thinks a moment::  I just know... ::A feral grin comes across his face and his steely eyes lock onto Franklin.::
ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Are they jamming us Lt?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Tries a bunch of things ::
CNS_Franklin says:
@::Squints his eyes as Jacobs stares at him, and dismisses the thought to wave::

ACTION:  Franklin feels his brain being squeezed.  His eyes begin buldging... and a scream escapes his lips.

CSO_Singh says:
::Making a quick escape, sighs in relief as the sickbay doors close behind her.::  *CTO*:  Do you want me to meet you there or in the transporter room?
Host XO_Jarek says:
@Jacob: Lad that will solve nothing ::As he tries to interfere with the mind probe::
OPS-Qui says:
ACO: It doesn't look like it, sir...at least not be any conventional means we are aware of
CTO_Jarot says:
*CSO*: Meet me on the bridge... the "diplomatic" attempt is still on the way.. we can't interfere just yet...
CSO_Singh says:
*CTO*:  On my way....
OPS-Qui says:
:: Retrieves the information she is looking for, inputs it into the transporter buffers and tries to get a lock on them again ::
Host Jacob says:
@::Feels the mind probe and snarls as he swings around to the XO.:: XO:  Quest huh!!!  ::locks his eyes on Jarek and with his arms shoves him backwards::
Host XO_Jarek says:
@:: Moves in front of Franklin to break eye contact::
CSO_Singh says:
::Makes her way to a turbolift and steps in.::  Computer, bridge.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Is still unable to get a lock on the Away Team.  She continues trying ::

ACTION:  Suddenly the Luna's operations console lights up... transporters activate and the two Nausicans with an injured Richards along with Jacob, the XO and CNS appear on the Bridge.

Host XO_Jarek says:
Jacob: Now Lad... Ya wanted ta talk so Talk
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::moves to the center chair arm console and begins an encryption code to lock out the main computer::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles, stopping her work and rises to follow Jacob ::
Host XO_Jarek says:
Computer: Level 5 containment ...Entire bridge
CSO_Singh says:
::As the turbolift stops, she dashes out, pushing a few people aside.::
Host Jacob says:
ACO:  Captain Quest... It was a nice try...  Cmdr Jarek here does have a great brogue but... maybe just maybe he will....  ::Thinks then turns to Jarot,::
OPS-Qui says:

Host XO_Jarek says:
Jacob: ~~~~ You will not open those doors~~~~

ACTION:  The turbolifts are disabled.

CSO_Singh says:
::Wonders why Alec doesn't answer her and becomes even more worried.::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Finally feels his mind coming back into enough of a reality to bring himself to all fours, and at least not just laying on the floor::
Host XO_Jarek says:
OPS: ~~~ Qui : Come to me~~~
Host ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Jacob: Can't go anywhere without transport
CSO_Singh says:
I hope this work...  ::Inputs the codes and activates anesthezine throughout the bridge.::
