ECO_Durron says:
::walking slowly down the corridor of the Starbase towards launch bay C:: *EFCO* Report.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: On the station, walking with Europa's FCO to his shuttle after having finished his portrat.::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Walking along side the XO.::
ECO_Durron says:
::enters the launchbay and approaches the Europa's runabout, than begins slowly walking around it, making a casual visual inspection of the ship::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
EFCO: It was nice talking with you... and doing the portrait.  Have you gotten your next assignment yet?
Host Starbase_Tech says:
::approaches the ECO:: ECO: Excuse me Captain Durron, I just need your thumbprint on these PADDs ::holds out a selection of PADDs::
ECO_Durron says:
::nods to the tech and pages through the PADDs:: SB Tech: I take it you did not get a chance to check the runabout's dilithum crystals charge.
Host Starbase_Tech says:
ECO: That's right - we just loaded the thing.
EFCO_Kami says:
XO: Just taking our supplies back to the Europa.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Arrives at the shuttle bay::  EFCO: Then I wish you a safe journey back.  :: nods to his captain::  Looks like you are almost set to leave.
EFCO_Kami says:
XO: Thank you. It's been fun. ::Looks to the CO.::
ECO_Durron says:
::Keeps pageing through the PADDs:: SB Tech: What is this here? Miscellaneous service?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
EFCO: There is an old Earth saying, drop me a line sometime'.  I would be curious to hear from you and how things are going with you.  And I promise, next picture you will not have to sit for.
Host Starbase_Tech says:
ECO: Yeah, you think it was easy lugging those crates from the other side of the station?  We had to borrow some anti-grav lifters from the guys down in loading bay F
ECO_Durron says:
::looks up and nods to the EFCO and the Luna's XO, than continues looking at the PADDS::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Chuckles.:: XO: Sounds good. Yeah, I'll 'drop you a line sometime.' ::Smiles.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
@:: Aboard his yacht, he signals the Luna to prepare for docking procedures, already having been granted clearance to enter the sector from the Starbase ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Nods back to captain Durron and starts to step back.::  All: Have a safe trip back.
ECO_Durron says:
SB Tech: I'm sure it wasn't easy, but according to your Ops officer, this was the best bay to put us in...::checks over the other PADDs and thumb prints them than hands them over.::
Host Starbase_Tech says:
ECO: Yeah well; don't get me started on him.  Good day Captain ::takes the PADDs and heads off::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
@:: The signal comes back from the Luna and Savar sets the autopilot to glide the yacht into her resting place beneath the ship ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: After a moment, turns to walk away.::
ECO_Durron says:
XO: Thank you for your well wishes.  EFCO: Would you start the pre-flight, please.

ACTION: There is a bit of commotion coming from the other end of the loading bay, several people are beginning to shout and run

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: With a painting finally done after all this time and apparently nothing untoward happening, she mentally planned her next one.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Pulled from her musing, she turned toward the commotion.::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Nods.:: ECO: Aye, sir. XO: 'Be seeing you. ::Steps into the shuttle.::
Host Technician says:
::runs towards the assembled crew shouting:: All: Down, everyone down!!!
ECO_Durron says:
EFCO: Get in and seal her up.  ::Starts moving towards the commotion, than at the Tech's advice falls on his face::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Drops to the ground near a shuttle.::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Sits down and looks back at the commotion.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Successfully docks, and the power systems begin to shut down one by one.  He turns to his wife ::  Amber: Shall we?

ACTION: A few moments later something big explodes - burning hot shrapnel rains all around the unlucky crew in the loading bay

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*Jones*: There appears to be a problem down near the Starbase's shuttle bay.  Scan the area.
EFCO_Kami says:
Self: Oh, sh... What was that?

ACTION: A few moments after that the screaming starts again, cries of those who didn't get out of the way quick enough or who have been unlucky enough to have some hot metal land on them

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
::Cover her head, feeling stinging bits of fire on her body in a couple of places.::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Seals the shuttle.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Sitting up, shakes the pieces from her body, her ears thrumming from the repercussion.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*Jones*: Medical emergency in station shuttle bay...
EFCO_Kami says:
::Checks the shuttle's systems and prepares for take-off.::
ECO_Durron says:
::feels the sting of small metal fragments on his back.  He waits a moment longer, than starts moving towards the center of activity:: *Station Ops* Captain Durron, major explosion Launch Bay C, Multiple injuries, Possible hull breach.
Host LtCmdr_Jones says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, medical teams are on route.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: disembarks the craft with his wife, rather oblivious to the situation aboard the station ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Shakes her head as she finds her balance.  After a moment, she looks around in the smoke strewn room.::

ACTION: Taking in the scene the crew can see the smoldering wreckage of some sort of device, littering the loading bay and disorientated people and debris.  Several crewmembers are quite obviously badly injured.

ECO_Durron says:
::shakes his head for a moment than blinks and begins moving through the smoke towards the heat::
EFCO_Kami says:
*CO*: What's going on?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Finding her bearings, she moves out to find someone in charge and begin taking care of the wounded.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Slings a bag over his shoulder and walks through the Luna corridors ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Coughing, those who are mobile, she sends out.::
ECO_Durron says:
*EFCO*: I don't kow, Check the runabout's sensors.  Make sure that the launch bay is not losing atmosphere.  ::Waves to the SB Tech::
Host Amber says:
Savar: Did you want to get some dinner on the Starbase?  You know how much I like that Italian restaurant.

ACTION: Medical personnel begin arriving at the scene tending to some of the wounded

Host Starbase_Medic says:
::runs a hand through his hair:: XO: You any good with a medical kit?
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
Amber: That would be... acceptable.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Looks at the medic::  SB Medic: I am tolerable.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Notes she can hear, but there is a constant ringing in her ears.::
EFCO_Kami says:
::Checks sensors.:: *ECO*: No loss of atmosphere detected, sir.
Host Starbase_Medic says:
XO: Good ::hands the XO a kit:: we are going to need some help down here
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
SB Medic: I have already informed my crew.  They are sending their medics.  ::takes the kit with a sigh and while turning, opens it to glance through the standard items.::
ECO_Durron says:
EFCO: Check the logs and try to figure out what exploded.
Host Amber says:
Savar: Good.  After we drop off our things, I'll call ahead for a table while you unpack what needs to be taken care of immediately.  ::  Opens the door to the command quarters ::
EFCO_Kami says:
*ECO*: Aye, sir. ::Begins to rummage through logs.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Slowly kneels down, her balance still off and begins to treat the first person she comes to on the ground.  If they are moving, she sends them out.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: His life signs seem to be normal, but there is no brain activity.  She soon discovers why and sadly stands, motioning one of the medics to remove him.  There was nothing anyone could do for the young man.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Unconsciously hesitates for a moment before entering the quarters - no telling if anyone is hiding ::
EFCO_Kami says:
*ECO*: There a slight anti-matter discharge before the explosion coming from items that shouldn't have had any anti-matter in them.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Notes the room in general appears to be clearing as she goes to the next person she sees, lying against a shuttle.::
ECO_Durron says:
::reaches the center of the explosion and frowns:: *Duty OPS* Captain Durron to station ops, no hull breach, no fire, just a lot of smoke, and many injuries.  If you could clear the air in here it would make life easer.

ACTION: More and more medics arrive at the scene and slowly everyone gets seen to and the critically wounded are beamed away

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*Jones*: See if the station needs any help.  As soon as the captain returns, fill him in.
Host LtCmdr_Jones says:
*XO*: Yes ma'am.  The Captain returned about 15 minutes ago.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*Jones*: Good...
Host Starbase_OPS says:
*ECO*: We are having trouble accessing the environmental systems in that section, the blast appears to have damaged something.
ECO_Durron says:
::looks around the area:: *EFCO* Any sign of what went off?
Host Amber says:
:: Throws her bag in the bedroom, and goes to the communications unit to call the station while Savar unpacks ::
Host LtCmdr_Jones says:
*CO*: Excuse me sir, but there has been some sort of explosion on the Starbase - early reports indicate several casualties.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
::Comes across the Europa's captain.:: ECO: You and your crew are alright?
EFCO_Kami says:
*ECO*: I can't tell, sir. The sensors didn't pick that up.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Looks up concerned ::  *Officer*: Have medical and security forces been dispatched?
ECO_Durron says:
::finds a discarded tricorder on the floor then begins scanning the floor in the area for the environmental system line:: XO: I'm fine.  My pilot is in the runabout looking at the sensor logs, trying to figure out what happened.
Host LtCmdr_Jones says:
*CO*: Yes sir.  Oh and sir, Commander Singh appears to be at the scene
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Nods looking around the area.::
Host Starbase_Tech says:
::arrives behind the ECO with a nice gash on his forehead:: ECO: A bomb is what happened, we found it underneath some supply crates just before...
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
SB Tech: Who were the supplies intended for?
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Frowns, concerned ::  *Officer*: Understood.
ECO_Durron says:
SB Tech: You did well to warn everyone.  ::nods to the XO's question::
Host Starbase_Tech says:
::rubs his forehead:: ECO: Um, the Luna I think, we were just about to ship them over
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Reaches into the kit and pulls out a cotton swab with antibiotics on it and efficiently cleans the techs head wound.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Does not pause as she deals with the wound.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: The wound cleaned, she lightly sprays on a sealant.::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
SB Tech: You will do for now.  See to that later though.
ECO_Durron says:
SB Tech: You will need to report everything you know to your CO, but where dose the environmental line run through, ::points:: SB Tech: just about here?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
:: Steps away:: *CO*: Captain, I understand you have returned.  Welcome back.
Host Starbase_Tech says:
ECO: No, about 2 meters to the left, behind that access panel
ECO_Durron says:
*EFCO*: What is the status of the runabout?
ECO_Durron says:
::walks over to the access panel:: SB Tech: Your Ops said there was a problem with the environmentals down here...stand back.  ::triggers the release on the panel and steps back::

ACTION: As the panel drops open a puff of black smoke comes billowing out, for a moment the ECO could have sworn it made the shape of a pair of wings...

Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
*XO*: Commander.  Are you well?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*CO*: Minor injuries, nothing to be concerned with.  However, the bomb that exploded was was located... :: watches the black smoke, looking at it oddly.::
ECO_Durron says:
::pauses for a moment, an image of a pet he once had flashing through his mind before he moved forward to see what kind of damage the station is looking at::
EFCO_Kami says:
*ECO*: Is everything okay, sir?
ECO_Durron says:
*EFCO* Everything is okay here sir, how is the runabout?
