Standoff at 4AB5...The beginning of the End.

SUMMARY:  Things are not going well for the Luna...but maybe they have gotten a break.  Jacob has beamed aboard the Luna and is now locked in a battle of the minds with the Executive officer.  With his concentration solely on the XO his hold on Qui has diminished...  Both men are now in a catatonic state on the floor of the Brig.  What will the crew of the Luna do... take advantage of the situation or is it a trick... Time will tell.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::standing outside the Brig::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Inside the brig semi-conscience ::

CTO_Jarot says:
::making his way down to the brig area, having deployed the necessary tactical teams as well as back up teams for the transfer protocols::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*AOP*: Can you get a transporter lock on the XO and Lt. Qui?

ACTION:  A loud scream can be heard within the brig...which of the two mean was it...

Host SM_Arlene says:
<OPS_Tattle> *ACO*:  I can't get  a lock on Qui, but I can with the XO what do you want me to do?

CTO_Jarot says:
::as exits the TL on the designated deck and quickly heads towards the ACO's position::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*AOP*: Beam the XO to Sickbay

Host SM_Arlene says:
<OPS_Tattle>  *ACO*:  Aye Sir locking onto him now.... ::Locks onto the XO.::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Awakens, just barely hearing the scream, drags herself over to the two men ::

CTO_Jarot says:
::arrives at the ACO's position and nods at him::  ACO: How're things here, Captain...?

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*AOP*: Keep working on getting a lock on Qui

ACTION:  A wrenching scream escapes from both men as the XO is beamed away.  The XO arrives in Sickbay unconcious and...not in good shape.  Jacob goes into cardiac arrest.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Screams ::   Out loud:  NO!  He'll die if separated now!

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Just in time Mr. Jarot. I just had the Beta OPS beam Cmdr. Jarek to Sickbay, but can't get a lock on Qui.

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> ::Rushes over to the XO....:: Medic:  Get him on the bed now!  Find Doctor Manson... this man is dying.

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Medic> ::Rushes over to the console and pages Doctor Manson as Betty begins work on the XO.::

OPS-Qui says:
::Collapses on the brig floor ::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: I'm going to risk saving Jacob

ACTION:  Jacob dies.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Computer: lower the Brig shield

ACTION:  As the man dies...he reverts back to his original form.  A scaly reptilian figure emerges... his blood red eyes stare off into space.

CTO_Jarot says:
::frowns, placing a hand on the ACO's shoulder::  ACO: Captain, I would recommend against that...

OPS-Qui says:
:: Barely conscious, but hears the voices of Qui beginning to quiet.  There are no other voices in her head. ::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::after seeing the reptile:: Computer belay that order

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
*AOP*: Can you achieve a lock on Qui yet?

OPS-Qui says:
:: Opens her eyes, turns her head and sees the reptilian figure beside her.  Close her eyes, feeling very weak ::

ACTION:  With Jacobs hold no longer in effect... the Prison erupts into chaos.  The Marines rush in to quell any rioting and get the hostages out.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: What the heck is that?

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::points to the reptilian::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<OPS_Tattle> *ACO*:  I'm afraid not sir.. according to her combadge she is in jefferies tube.. J deck 7.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::thinks to himself odd, but must have fallen off her uniform::

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the Reptilian on the floor of the brig::  ACO: I'm not sure either... it seems like Jacob was in fact a Reptilian but through telepathy managed to keep up the appearance of a human....  very odd...

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Qui lost her combadge, we have to go in Mr. Jarot

OPS-Qui says:
:: Moans and tries to move away from the reptile...but she doesn't get far ::

CTO_Jarot says:
AOPS: Lock onto the trill lifeform in brig cell 4A and beam it to sickbay... immediately...

Host SM_Arlene says:
<OPS_Tattle> *CTO*:  Aye Sir... ::Searches for the trill life sign and locks onto beaming her to sickbay into the waiting arms of Nurse Betty...once again.::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods:: *AOP*: Lock on the trill symbiont in brig cell 4A and beam to Sickbay

OPS-Qui says:
:: Moans again, hearing she is in sick bay... ::   Nurse Betty: A hypo...delactovine...stimulant...please.

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS: Tsk...tsk... so we meet again... It would seem I need to put you in a padded cell to keep you safe.  You and the XO were suppose to look after each other not put each other into sickbay.

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> ::Hypo already in hand she places it against Qui's neck and injects here.::

ACTION:  Two biobeds down.. Dr Mason is working on Cmdr Jarek.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Moans...then feels the hypo and fees stronger ::   Betty: It was by your order that I sent released to his care...you didn't say any about my looking after him!

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: We now have a reptilian corpse in our brig

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> ::Sighs:: OPS:  What I meant was... nevermind...  ::Pulls out a tricorder and runs it over her.::

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  ACO: Seems you are right, Captain.... what would you like to do with it ?

OPS-Qui says:
:: Watches Nurse Betty and grins ::   Betty: I WAS CMO on the Paula Greene before coming here...

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: We'll leave him there for the time being. I will let Star Fleet Command know along with Star Fleet Medical. Maybe they can decide who wants to have it.

OPS-Qui says:
Betty: And your orders were VERY clear

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS:  Uh huh...  Yes they were and explain to me why you were not taking it easy like you were ordered to?

CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles faintly::  ACO: Aye, Captain... ::nods at two of his security officers to take positions aside Jacob's brig cell::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Grins ::  Betty: I WAS on duty...then...was controlled by some being from the prison!  It's not MY fault!    :: Giggles a little bit ::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: In the meantime I have to get to Sickbay and check on Jarek and Qui ::turns and heads out of the Brig::

OPS-Qui says:
Betty: And...I'm doing just fine now!  Can I go home yet?

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  ACO: Aye, Captain.... I'll head for the bridge....

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS: Oh great... another who doesn't take responsibility for her actions.. ::Lets out a long suffering sigh.::  Are you sure you are not Cardassian?

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS: NO!

OPS-Qui says:
:: Laughs out loud ::   Betty: I DO take responsibility for my actions...it was that thing in the brig that decided he was stronger than me.

OPS-Qui says:
Betty: So, nurse...your prognosis?

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS:  And how did he decide that.. You were on duty not taking it easy...  Taking it easy would have been knitting baby booties..

CTO_Jarot says:
SEC: Gentlemen, don't let anyone in this brig cell.... report any incidents to me directly...   ::gives them a final nodd and exits the brig and into the nearest TL::  TL: Bridge !

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks to the nearest turbolift and waits for the Cmdr::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS:  My prognosis is that you are a danger to yourself and that you will stay in sickbay for the night.  We need to make sure there are no residual effects from this Jacob guy.

OPS-Qui says:
Nurse Betty: I DO have a job and a department to handle.  I can't be laid up until you decide I can go back to work!  Besides, the XO was on the bridge!

OPS-Qui says:
:: Groans ::   Self: Man!

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan instructs the turbolift to stop at Sickbay first::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS: I can and well.  ::Smiles her big Cardassian Smile.::  Unless you can beat me in hand to hand combat...then you can walk out of this sickbay.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::turbolift stops and gets out then the lift continues onto the Bridge::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Groans again... ::   Betty: You know that is not possible at this time.   :: Sighs ::  Okay, okay...you win!

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks for Sickbay::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Glares at Nurse Betty ::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS:  Of course.. that wasn't in doubt.. ::Smiles as Qui glares::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Turns her head from the Nurse and thinks not very nice thoughts ::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> ::Walks off laughing.::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He enters the Sickbay and walks over nurse Betty:: Nurse, how are the XO and Qui?

OPS-Qui says:
:: Hears the ACO and turns her head toward him ::

CTO_Jarot says:
::as the TL arrives at the bridge, the doors open and he steps out, quickly glancing at the bridge crew present before walking to the command area::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> ACO:  Qui is going to be fine.. we are going to keep her overnight... ::Looks over at the biobed where Dr Mason is still working on Jarek::  The Cmdr on the other hand...I don't know...the jarring from being ripped away from Jacobs mind has done a lot of damage.  ::Can't quite look the Capt in the eye.::

OPS-Qui says:
ACO: I'm better, sir.  But Nurse Kratchet there...well...I won't tell you want my thoughts are at the moment...

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Nurse: Is there anything the doctors can do to save him?

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty>  ACO:  We shall see.  We've got some people coming up from SFM who specialize in these kinds of things.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks over at Qui:: OPS: I tend to agree with her Lt. stay the night just to be sure that you and the symbiont your carrying are safe

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Nurse: Ok, good

OPS-Qui says:
:: Sighs and rolls over ::

OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the bio bed where the Commander is being worked on and hopes he is alright ::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<FCO Leadfoot> CTO: Sir...what is the news?  ::speaks in a quiet voice.::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
Nurse: I'll leave them in your capable hands, I must get to the Bridge ::Ewan turns to walk out of Sickbay::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> Self:  Hmmmmm he is a straight to the point man... gotta like that.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Gets a thought and rolls back over ::   Betty: Can I have another pillow...and some water...

OPS-Qui says:
Betty: And what about something to read?!?

CTO_Jarot says:
::takes a seat in the centre chair and glances at the viewscreen before beginning to outline the facts for his report, as he hears Leadfoot he glances up at him::  FCO: I only have positive news, Mr. Leadfoot... it seems that both Lieutenant Qui and Commander Jarek will recover... but further details are still sketchy..

Host SM_Arlene says:
<Nurse Betty> OPS:  Being a demanding Patient is not going to get you out of here one minute earlier.  If you need anything feel free to ask that nice Tellerite over there for anything... ::Grins evilly::  Oh and be polite about it.

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan reaches the turbolift after leaving sickbay and enters:: TL: Bridge

Host SM_Arlene says:
<FCO Leadfoot> CTO:  Oh that is good to hear... You think we may get down to earth while we are hear?

OPS-Qui says:
:: Hrumphs and rolls back over ::   Self: Hard....

CTO_Jarot says:
::thinks for a moment::  FCO: Well, I guess that is up to Starfleet Command of course... but with the debriefing and all I'm sure we'll get a few days of shoreleave to spend on Earth for example...  ::smiles faintly::

Host SM_Arlene says:
<FCO Leadfoot> CTO:  We can always keep our fingers crossed Sir.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Gets comfortable and decides to try and sleep ::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
:;Ewan steps off the turbolift onto the Bridge::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: You still have the Bridge Cmdr, I'll be in the Ready Room

OPS-Qui says:
:: Closes her eyes and tries to fall asleep, but instead decides to talk with her symbiont Qui ::

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the TL as he faintly hears the doors open and close, seeing the ACO he stands from the centre chair and nods at the ACO::  ACO: Aye, Captain...

ACTION:  Qui decides to lecture his host and make sure she now takes it easy.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Sighs as she hears Qui... ::

ACO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan stops for a moment:: OPS: Get Star Fleet Command on the horn and transfer it to the Ready Room

Host SM_Arlene says:
<OPS Tattle> ACO:  Aye Sir...  They will be on your screen before you enter your office.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods again at the FCO before sitting down and resuming his report outline::
