Episode 196 “Tempus Fugite, Part 3”:  The Luna has reached the location of the stricken Lampo but all attempts to contact them  have so far been unsuccessful.  An away team is on route to investigate but with sensor  readings inconclusive and the Lampo acting strangely what will they find when they open the  hatch?

Host CO_Savar says:
::Remaining in his Ready Room::
SO_Silver says:
:: At science, monitoring the shuttle::
FCO_Shania says:
::sitting at helm::
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Sitting on the shuttle waiting to arrive :: Opening up his senses to see if he can get an idea of what happened ::
MO_Lynch says:
::walking down the corridor towards Sickbay with his duffel bag in tow::
XO_Singh says:
:: Standing behind the FCO, watching, waiting.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::steadily docking the runabout onto the airlock::
MO_Lynch says:
::enters Sickbay and peers about::  CMO: Commander McDonald?  ::steps further inward::

@ACTION: The runabout slowly comes into contact with the Lampo and locks in place

FCO_Shania says:
::twiddles her thumbs one way, then the other::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Steps out of his Ready Room onto the Bridge::  All: Anything new to report?
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks over.::  CO:  No.  Waiting to hear from the shuttle.
MO_Lynch says:
::heads toward the empty office::  CMO: Commander McDonald?  Lieutenant Commander Lynch reporting for duty sir
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@COM: Luna: This is MacPherson-Quest, we safely docked with the Lampo
Host CO_Savar says:
SO: Miss Silver, what kind of readings are we getting from the Lampo?  Is their energy stable?
Nurse_T’Neer says:
MO: It is agreeable to see you again Doctor.
SO_Silver says:
CO: No sir. The ships power grid is out of the norm.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I'm getting the sense people are here, but not sure about if they are alive.
MO_Lynch says:
::let's a broad smile cross his face::  T'Neer: It is great to see you again.  I didn't realize you were still on board!
Nurse_T’Neer says:
MO: I'd hate to cut our reunion short but Doctor McDonald is on an away mission.  Perhaps you should report in to the XO.
Host CO_Savar says:
SO: Can you determine if there is any possibility of their energy surging and their engines engaging?
SO_Silver says:
:: Looks over the sensor readings.::  CO: The power grid is fluctuating wildly.  The output is constant, but not where it is delivering power.  Most of it appears to be in nonessential areas.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Only way to find out is to go in and see for ourselves, but run a scan to see if it is safe to do so?
MO_Lynch says:
::nods dropping his duffel bag to the floor::  T'Neer: Completely logical T'Neer.  I'll see you later.  It'll be nice to catch up on old times.  ::walks toward the exit::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Aye sir. :: taps a few buttons running a scan :: CIV: Life support appears to be functioning but I'm not sure if it will last long.
SO_Silver says:
CO: Impossible to tell with the readings I am getting.  The slipstream is creating havoc with the sensors.  It is possible though as they do not appear to be damaged.
MO_Lynch says:
::steps into a Turbo Lift: Computer: Bridge
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO/CNS: If anyone wants to stay on the runabout speak now, if not we're going in and it may not be a pretty sight
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CIV: Right behind you.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Right behind you.
MO_Lynch says:
::watches as the turbolift doors open to the Bridge::
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Commander, can we get a tractor beam on the Lampo?  At least cease its spinning, and then back out to a reasonable distance.
MO_Lynch says:
::steps onto the Bridge noticing quite some activity then sees the XO::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO/CNS: All right it's settled. ::opens the hatch to the runabout and airlock:: Let's go. :: gets up from the pilots char and heads for the airlock::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I think that interference will prevent us from using the tractor beam.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::has Canar in one hand, phaser in other:: ::follows behind CIV::
MO_Lynch says:
::steps up to Singh::  XO: Commander Singh...  Lieutenant Commander Lynch reporting for duty sir.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Steps in behind the CIV and readies a phaser and his medkit ::
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: I see.  Perhaps, then, we could make the viewscreen spin so that the ship doesn't appear to be.
XO_Singh says:
:: Turns around at the familiar voice.::  MO: And I thought it was a typo.  :: Smiles::  Welcome back doctor.  And just in time perhaps.
FCO_Shania says:
CO. If that's what you want...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Walks onto an unknown deck of the Lampo, no phaser drawn, doesn't need it::
MO_Lynch says:
::smiles::  XO: And I assumed it was another Singh as XO.  I never thought it would be you ma'am.  Congratulations.  ::smiles again::
FCO_Shania says:
::isn't sure whether that was supposed to be some sort of Vulcan joke::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::phaser on stun, but down, even though she sees the CIV doesn't have one out, as we have no idea what may be going on here::
XO_Singh says:
MO: They have not lost me yet.  As for congratulations, I think that is a thank you.  But I admit things were simpler as a science officer.  I look forward to some time catching up.  Do you have your orders?

@ACTION: The Away Team is greeted to a standard federation corridor, apart from the dangling conduits and flickering lights, it appears that this section of the ship has been badly damaged

MO_Lynch says:
::produces his orders for the Commander::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: If you'd be so kind to get a reading for us Doctor?
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Aye sir. Telepathic I am assuming, or tricorder?
XO_Singh says:
:: Takes the orders and activates his command codes as well as his new quarters assignment.::  MO: You will not have the same quarters, but are on the same deck.  :: hands the PADD back.::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@All: Looks like they had a rough ride.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Oh almost forgot, yes by tricorder
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: aye sir. :: opens his tricorder and starts a scan ::
MO_Lynch says:
::takes the PADD:: XO: Thank you sir.  And might I say, it's good to be home.  Is there anything I can be of assistance too ma'am?
XO_Singh says:
MO: Right now we are dealing with an unknown issue on the Lampo.  They are not responding.  The CMO is currently over there.  I would suggest you check your gear in and report to the sickbay.  I believe they should be preparing medical teams just in case.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Sensing the whole gambit of emotions hate, love, happiness, sadness etc and I can't get a true reading. Scans are very distorted but there are life forms around. Not sure about if they are alive or not.
MO_Lynch says:
::nods:: XO: Aye.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO*: We are on an unknown deck, it seems to be very badly damaged. Once we find our bearings, we'll make our way to the Bridge
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::focuses on the Canar, beginning to connect herself to it:: ::the CMO is the stronger telepath by far, but she wants to be ready, just in case the team has to split at some point later on::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Any signs of life?

@ACTION: The away team hear a scream from up ahead and a group of children run past an intersection just ahead, they giggle and scream some more as they disappear from view

CMO_McDonald says:
@~~~CNS: Good call. Get yourself ready, and relax It's just another mission~~~
MO_Lynch says:
::notices the XO continue with the CIV and assumes that his "Dismissed" and turns to leave::
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods to the doctor as he leaves.::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@~~~CMO: It's not just another mission. It's my first away mission. That's SO COOL, even if I am a little nervous.~~~
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Looks up and smiles :: ALL:  Well we know there are survivors.
MO_Lynch says:
::steps into the turbolift and resumes back to Sickbay::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* Dr. McDonald says emotions hate, love, happiness, sadness etc and I can't get a true reading. Scans are very distorted but there are life forms around. Not sure about if they are alive or not.
CMO_McDonald says:
@~~~CNS: Calm your emotions. I may be the stronger telepath, but I get a feeling we may need all hands on deck.~~~
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Perhaps once you make it to the bridge, you will find out more... :: considers a moment.:: Is there any sense of fear?
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives back in Sickbay::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@~~~CMO: Yes, Sir.~~~ ::looks for a center of calm, her own emotions giving way to gamut of emotions on this ship::
CMO_McDonald says:
@~~~CNS: That's it. Centre yourself and just feel the emotions around you.~~~
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Doctor, sense any fear among the crew?
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::after a moment focuses, through her own emotions and theirs, but it takes a second, as only the strongest emotions reach her, without anything else to balance it::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* Asking now
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Not outwardly. But I'm sure there is some.
Nurse_T’Neer says:
::notes the return of her former Department Head::  MO: Doctor, I have taken the liberty to stow your gear in the CMO's office.  Come with me and I'll introduce you to some of the newer members of the team and the CMO's current duty requirements of his staff.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* He says not outwardly, but does feel that there might be
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Doesn't that seem a bit... odd to you given the circumstances?  Or am I missing something here?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Making his way through red light flooded deck looking for a turbolift::
XO_Singh says:
:: Looks at her captain.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* He's the telepath, not me
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* But yeah, does seem a bit odd that he is not sensing any fear
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Let's get a move. I'm getting a strange feeling here. Like something is about to happen.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks back at the XO::
Nurse_T’Neer says:
::shows Lynch around introducing him to the newer staff and reacquainting him with the old::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: There is a turbolift just up ahead Doctor.
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Leave communication open for now.  Unfortunately, you are more or less on your own as we cannot get a lock on you.  But communication is possible, so the question is why are they not responding to hails.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Reaches the turbo-lift, hope it functions::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Lets head there, but I did notice some young kids running past in the adjoining corridor.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CMO: ::she chooses to speak aloud this time, where the CIV can also hear her:: I'm not getting anything unusual at all. I can only tell that there are people here...somewhere. Do you have any additional detail at all, Sir?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Would you and the Counselor like to check that out while I head up to the Bridge?

@ACTION: The turbolift door does not open, there appears to be no power going to the console

CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I'll go alone, I would feel much safer if you had a telepath with you.
XO_Singh says:
CO: Can I use the term weird?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* If you need me, just whistle and if I'm not dead, I'll answer....hopefully
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Certainly unusual, Commander.
FCO_Shania says:
::sees her console blink excitedly:: CO: Sensors pick up another particle surge emanating from the slipstream drive.  The major particle is chronoton.
XO_Singh says:
:: Frowns and turns to look over at Silver.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO/CNS: Looks like I need to climb to the Bridge via Jeffries tubes and unused lift shafts
Nurse_T’Neer says:
::finishes up by handing the MO a PADD and returns to her duties::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I know I may only be a commander, and you can overrule me, but I'd feel much safer if you had the CNS with you. I’ll go at it alone down here and join you on the bridge
SO_Silver says:
:: Nods acknowledgment.::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Feels a theory building::  FCO: Are we protected?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks over at the Counselor:: CNS: Feel like climbing Ensign?
XO_Singh says:
CO: You have something in mind?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Can you identify the source of the surge?  Is it from their engine core?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: It looks like it's coming from their slipstream drive.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CIV: Yes, but realize that I can't use the Canar if I can't touch it, so you wouldn't really have much of a telepath with you until we stopped climbing.
MO_Lynch says:
::as he watches T'Neer leave he thinks there is nothing like a straight to the point Vulcan then begins skimming the PADD::
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: hands the CNS a pouch :: CNS: here use this to help
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CNS/CMO: All right then, Counselor your with me and be careful Doctor
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CMO: Thanks, I should have thought of that before I left the ship.
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Chronotons are generally associated with time dilation effects.  And the sounds and reports of children aboard.... if they team runs into another, they should ask for names.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: I will sir. I will keep an open comm channel with you and keep you up to date.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan nods at the Doctor::
Host Human_Female says:
@::walks round the corner and sees the away team, tuts to herself and calls out:: AT: Hey, what are you lot doing over there, those tubes are restricted!
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods::  CO: How does that fit into the extra life forms?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan hears the voice and turns to see who said it::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::puts the Canar in the pouch, and puts it around her neck, which certainly beats the way she was about to tuck it under her arm:: ::hears the person yelling::
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Lennier turns around and smiles ::
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Unknown at this time.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::reaches into pouch to touch Canar:: ~~~CMO: What are you getting from her?~~~
Host Human_Female says:
@::looks at the AT's faces and a look of fear comes over her face, drops the basket she is carrying and runs off down a corridor::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* A human female just rounded a corner and yelled at us. Saying we're in a restricted area
CMO_McDonald says:
~~~CNS: Fear utter FEAR~~~
CNS_Nhicola says:
@~~~CMO: ...Sir.~~~ ::realizing she is "talking" to her superior officer::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Please ask for her name.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Its almost as if she's never seen another person or human before. Utter fear coming from her
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* She just dropped a basket and ran off
MO_Lynch says:
::had enough skimming of the PADD for one day and grabs his gear from the CMO's Office and glances at his Quarter Assignment::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Do you have any idea why?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* The Doctor said that she was definitely afraid
CMO_McDonald says:
@~~~CNS: When they can't hear us like this. You don't have to call me sir~~~
CNS_Nhicola says:
@~~~CMO: Aye, S... habit.~~~
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Afraid of you?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* No I don't, but the Doctor is going to find out and about the children he seen earlier. The Counselor and I are about to go mountain climbing to the Bridge
CMO_McDonald says:
@~~~CNS: Not a problem. Just be careful~~~
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: The captain has a theory, but we need some names.  The next person you meet, try to get their name.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::turns and forces open the lift doors::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CMO: Ah, I’m not too worried.  If everyone’s emotions match up with their outward appearances like that, we may be out of a job on this away team. ::smiles::
MO_Lynch says:
::takes his duffel bag out of Sickbay and heads toward his quarters taking on the sights and sounds of the Luna once more::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* If they don't cower and run before we can
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CIV: There's something dangerous headed our way!
XO_Singh says:
:: A touch of humor in her voice.:: *CIV*: Try not to look so scary. Maybe the counselor would be less threatening.

@ACTION: The CIV is treated to a gust of wind as the doors open that nearly sucks him inside

CMO_McDonald says:
@CNS: I would agree. Now lets get to work. :: spins around and heads back to the corridor he saw the human female run down and turns onto it. @CIV: ::shudders:: A sense of sheer panic in the area. and hostility
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan holds onto anything he could tightly careful not to be sucked in::
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Sprints back and grabs onto the CIV's tunic and pulls him away ::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::one hand on the Canar and one on her phaser, which she does not raise, for fear of provoking the source of the hostility::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: May I suggest we try to make for Engineering to see about getting main power back online.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::gets up and dusts himself off:: CMO: Thank you Docotr
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CMO: Agreed
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Is everything alright?  And did I hear that power is down?  :: Looks at Silver.::

@ACTION: The Away Team can hear footsteps rapidly approaching from down the corridor, sounds like maybe half a dozen people, or more.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Taps his combadge:: *XO* Change of plans, we're all going to try and make it to Engineering first, then we'll investigate further. Because I don't really feel like being sucked into anymore turbo-lift shafts
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: there are people approaching and they don't feel friendly.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@CIV: Several people at that. I can't get you an exact number.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Raises his phaser in the direction of the footsteps :: sets the phaser for max stun ::
SO_Silver says:
:: Catching Singh's eye::  XO:  Power is down in the area they are in.  The hull is intact.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@CNS/CMO: Hide quickly, duck under anything you can find
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Silver says only in your area is power down.  As for why you would be sucked down a turbolift shaft, I have no idea.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: ducks into an open doorway ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::grabs the Counselor and pulls her with him behind some downed material from the ceiling::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::right hand on Canar, left on phaser, with it ready::

@ACTION: Half a dozen people wearing a mixture of "damaged" Federation uniforms and civilian clothes round the corner and set themselves up in a defensive position

Host Anteac says:
@::shouts in what he hopes is a commanding voice:: All: We know you are there, identify yourselves, how did you get onboard?!
XO_Singh says:
CO: That does not sound good.  Shall I have another team prepared?
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::trys to see if there are any telepaths on their side:: ~~~Mob: Can anyone over there hear me? We are Federation officers here to assist.~~~
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::suddenly realizes that perhaps she shouldn't have done that without asking the CIV's permission::
CMO_McDonald says:
~~~@CNS: You did the right thing~~~
CNS_Nhicola says:
@~~~CMO: No response, though.~~~~
Host Anteac says:
@::has a muted discussion then calls out:: All: Come out now, or we will come and get you... !
