XO_Sheridan says:
COMM: Basalisk: We are standing by. Please begin the transfer.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Transport when Eng. is ready

CTO_Black says:
XO: Checking Ma’am...

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@COMM:  NightHawk:  We will transport when we are in range.  Urrr... It has been kind of eerily quiet.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO; Engineering is still preparing , Belay that

CTO_Black says:
CO: Aye, Captain...

TO_Maro says:
::Syan sees two of them and looks for the others.::

::Grins::  CSO:  Music to my ears.

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@::Looks over at his crew and nods his head to them with a sigh::  Crew:  At least I mentioned something... I am not about to visit the nut house.

CTO_Black says:
*CEO*: Understood...please advise when you are ready to receive the ore...

CEO_Kerpak says:
*XO*:  We are finished down here.  We are ready for transport.

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@Lander:  Are you ready to transport?

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@<Lander> Capt.:  I sir...

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged. Stand by for transport.

CTO_Black says:
*TO*: Understood...please keep an eye out till all the ore is secure...then report back to the bridge...

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@Lander:  On their orders then.  After that, we are out of here.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, engineering reports ready.

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: Are we ready?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Stands and goes to master display:: ALL: I know were a little short handed people, but you know your jobs

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Understood

CEO_Kerpak says:
CSO:  We are ready, but we will have to monitor the transport closely to make sure we have no problems.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO; Initiate transport

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Coordinate with Cargo bay

TO_Maro says:
::Syan walks into the Cargo Bay::

XO_Sheridan says:
COMM: Basalisk: We are initiating transport now.

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: Ok, Is there any thing else we need to do?

XO_Sheridan says:
::nods to the CTO::

CEO_Kerpak says:
::At the console she sets it up to monitor the ore coming in closely.::

CTO_Black says:
::nods at the CO and locks onto the ore aboard the Basilisk and beams it over to Cargobay 2::  *Cargobay*: Initiating transport now...

CEO_Kerpak says:
::hears the comm.:: CSO:  Ready ?

CSO_Matisse says:
::Nods to the CEO::

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
ACTION:  Flying out of the system towards the Basalisk, a swarm of Andorian BeetleWrights

XO_Sheridan says:
*CSO*: Inform the CTO when the ore is secured.

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
ACTION:  The ore is transported to the NightHawk.  A flicker from the transporters is recorded.

CSO_Matisse says:
*XO* ok..

CTO_Black says:
CO: Transport complete, Captain...

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: Lets get this secured

CEO_Kerpak says:
::watches the console closely::  CSO:  What was that flicker I just saw ?

XO_Sheridan says:
::checks her sensors again:: CO: Sir, we have a sensor reading.

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@COMM:  NightHawk:  That is it.  We will be back on our route now.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Secure it and signal the Basalisk we have it and thank them

TO_Maro says:
::Syan walks over to the CSO and CEO:: Both: I'm here to help.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Report

CEO_Kerpak says:
::goes over the numbers again.::

XO_Sheridan says:
COMM: Basalisk: Thank you Captain, Nighthawk out.

CTO_Black says:
CO: Initiating the disperse field now to prevent any illegal beam outs of the ore..  ::actives the despairs field around cargobay 2::

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: not sure

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
ACTION:  The beetles attach themselves to the sensor arrays.

CEO_Kerpak says:
CSO:  Hmmm maybe a glitch in the system...  How is the ore settling ?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: A swarm of BeetleWrights...on the sensor arrays.

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: All right, but I want to get it all secured

Host Capt_Athabaskin says:
@::Sighs and nods for his pilot to take them back onto their normal course.::

Capt_Athabaskin is now known as Karriaunna.

XO_Sheridan says:
*CSO*: To the bridge!

CEO_Kerpak says:
::nods and moves over to the containers with her tricorder and begins scanning and making adjustments where needed.::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Of what?.......Any damage to systems?

CSO_Matisse says:
*XO* On my way

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Checking now sir.

CSO_Matisse says:
::Hears the XO scream for her, and runs to the bridge::

CEO_Kerpak says:
CSO:  Can you let them know the ore is secured.  ::At least she hopes so.::

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: BeetleWrights sir...:;shrugs::

CSO_Matisse says:
CEO: Sorry got to go, call me if you need anything

CSO_Matisse says:
*CTO*: the ore's secure

CEO_Kerpak says:
::nods to the CSO::

CSO_Matisse says:
::Gets to the bridge:: XO: What did I miss?

CSO_Matisse says:
::Goes to her console::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Can we remove them?

XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Take your station, I need data on those BeetleWrights.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: I have science working on that now sir.

CSO_Matisse says:
::Nods to the XO::

CSO_Matisse says:
::Opens her station, and tries to get data on the BeetleWrights::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: What are they attracted too, food source maybe?

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: Start preparing a plan to dislodge some unwanted guests from our sensor array.

CSO_Matisse says:
CO: I'm still looking sir...

CEO_Kerpak says:
*CEO*:  Aye Ma'am just let me get back to engineering.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
:: Taps display and reads:: CSO: Seems they like certain warp fields if this is correct?

CEO_Kerpak says:
::Telling Samson and Tyler to keep and close eye on the ore, she heads out back to engineering.::

CSO_Matisse says:
CO: they are attracted to energy sir..

TO_Maro says:
::Syan heads out of the Cargo Bay and heads BACK to the bridge:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Sheridan says:
::tries to figure a way to dislodge the little beasties:: Self: Well that won't work.

CEO_Kerpak says:
::entering engineering she brings up her screen and sees the bugs attached to the ship.::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: We need to find out exactly what type of energy and eliminate it

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The swarm is concentrated around the ships output areas.

XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Can we repel them somehow?

CSO_Matisse says:
CO:...And to subspace wakes

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: Try powering down the main array

CSO_Matisse says:
XO: I’m trying to ma'am

TO_Maro says:
::Syan steps out of the TL and takes Tac 2 again:: CTO: I'm back.:: checks sensors::

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, they appear to like the nacelle energy.

CSO_Matisse says:
::Powers down the main array::

XO_Sheridan says:
::checks the Nighthawk's ETA to McKinley Station::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The insects in some areas seem to back off, but stay near the ship.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Still looking at master display:: XO: Yes, appears so...have Eng. take warp drive offline as well

CTO_Black says:
::turns to his TO::  TO: Welcome back, Ensign...monitor the region for any other of these BeetleWrights...

TO_Maro says:
::Syan thinks: Would powering down the ship work?::

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: Mr. Kerpak, we need warp engines off line now!

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Set course and go to 1/4 impulse, see if they  follow

CSO_Matisse says:
XO: Could we depolarize the hull?

TO_Maro says:
CTO: Aye, sir. ::Syan carefully studies the sensors::

CEO_Kerpak says:
::Frantically taping at her console.::  *XO*:  Aye Ma'am...  we may need to power down the ship unless you can isolate what they are attracted to.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Aye sir, engaging 1/4 impulse.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO; Did powering down array have any effect?

XO_Sheridan says:
::taps the flight console::

CTO_Black says:
CO: Captain...maybe we could give them a better target to go after....?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship goes to impulse a bit sluggishly and the insects follow.

XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Let's hold on that until engineering reports in.

TO_Maro says:
CTO: Launch a shuttle?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO:You have an idea?

XO_Sheridan says:
::looks over at Brian ::

CTO_Black says:
CO/TO: Searching for a solution...  ::looks down at his panel as he notices odd readings in the ore containers::

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, the Hawk is responding a bit sluggishly.

XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Are our guests still with us?

CTO_Black says:
CO/XO: I’m getting odd readings from the ore containers inside cargobay 2...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Taps display again:: XO; Yes , I see.. strange

TO_Maro says:
CTO: Aren't they attracted to energy?

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: What kind of readings?

CTO_Black says:
*CEO*: Chief, I’m getting odd readings up here from the ore containers...could you check that for me...?

CEO_Kerpak says:
::Watching her console she notices a slight energy drain.:: *XO*:  I have a slight energy drain, it will account for the ship's sluggishness...  ::Reroutes power to the engines.::

CSO_Matisse says:
XO: Still there

CTO_Black says:
TO: They certainly are...   XO: Not sure at the moment Ma’am...

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: Understood.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Pinpoint it for me

TO_Maro says:
CTO: Couldn't we just fire phasers or a torpedo?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, do you think the ore could be attracting the insects?

CTO_Black says:
::runs a high level scan of the several ore containers::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Could very well be.....::rubs chin::

TO_Maro says:
CO/XO: Why don't we just fire off a torpedo?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Then we must offer the beasties something more appetizing sir.....like a torpedo lunch?

XO_Sheridan says:
TO: My thoughts exactly.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: All stop. :Turns and moves back to chair::

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: All stop. ::brings the ship to a standstill::

CTO_Black says:
CO/XO: Scans show that several BeetleWrights have made their way into the ore containers some how...

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: We have the insects in the cargo bay. Check all external vents.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Put a containment field around the cargo bay and have them removed

CTO_Black says:
CO: Aye, Captain...

CEO_Kerpak says:
::mutters.::  *XO*:  Aye Ma'am, I'll get a team on it.  ::taps her Combadge.::  *Samson/Tyler*:  Check all external vents, we have bugs in the bay check the containers if any got in, isolate them.

CEO_Kerpak says:
<Samson> *CEO*:  Aye Sir, we are on it now.  Tyler is trying to isolate.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Can we isolate what power frequency there attracted too?

CTO_Black says:
::initiates a lvl 7 containment field around the cargobay::  CO: Containment field activated...I’m trying to lock onto them and beam them out.. now...

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: Get a containment field up around engineering. I don't want those things near the warp core.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Very good

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: We can try sir.

CEO_Kerpak says:
<Tyler> ::Tries to frantically lock onto them but they are evasive little beasties.::

CTO_Black says:
::frowns as no active lock appears::  CO: I cant lock onto them...  XO: Understood..

CTO_Black says:
::turns to his TO:: TO: Mr. Maro, erect a containment field around Main Engineering as well and keep monitoring them...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Stands again visibly thinking::

TO_Maro says:
CTO: I'm on it, sir. ::sets up a level 7 containment field around ME:: Done..

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, I believe we can isolate the frequency and give them another concentration of energy to feed on.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Explain, what do we give them?

TO_Maro says:
::looks at the XO and CO:: CO: Sir, we could do a torpedo.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
TO: I would prefer not to destroy them, but I'll keep that in mind

CTO_Black says:
CO/XO: Sir, Ma’am.... as Mr. Maro suggested... a high yield torpedo set to explode at best range would attract them....

TO_Maro says:
CO: We could also do a shuttle.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Would it injury them in any way?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: A torpedo directed away from the ship might just provide enough time for us to modulate the deflector array.

CTO_Black says:
CO: I do not think so....the energy created would attract them to the torpedo, but when they arrive at its location its already dissolved...  and we can warp out freely..

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Moves slowly toward tactical::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Prepare to launch a torpedo

CTO_Black says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye, Sir...

XO_Sheridan says:
*CEO*: I need specifications on modulating the deflector field.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: Stand by to modulate the deflector array

CTO_Black says:
::prepares a high yield torpedo set to explode at best range::

XO_Sheridan says:
*CSO*: Co ordinate with engineering.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Stand by full impulse

CEO_Kerpak says:
::freezes up... specs...  Pulls them off the database and sends them to the bridge.::  *XO*:  Ma'am they should be on your console now.

CTO_Black says:
TO: What’s the status of the ore containers at the moment...?

XO_Sheridan says:
::sends the data to the CSO:: CSO: There you go.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Standing by.

CTO_Black says:
::sees the blinking light on his console and turns to the CO::  CO: Torpedo armed and ready, Captain...

XO_Sheridan says:
::finger hovers over the impulse button::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
*Bridge to ENG*: Stand by for warp engine restart my order only

TO_Maro says:
CTO: Same.. nothing has changed

CEO_Kerpak says:
::rolls over to the next console.::  *CO*:  We are ready...  ::finger hovers over the button.::

CTO_Black says:
TO: Understood...monitor the bugs movement when we fire the torpedo in combination with the deflector array...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Paces slowly around near XO's station, hand still under chin::

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Sir, we're ready.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: You have modulation ready?

CSO_Matisse says:
CO: yes sir

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: Monitor our little visitors and report any change

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Fire when ready

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Steps  a few more paces::

CTO_Black says:
CO: acknowledged....firing torpedo now...  ::bushes the big red button and switches viewscreen to display the torpedoes trajectory::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The torpedo gives off a strong burst of energy, attracting the BeetleWrights away from the ship.

XO_Sheridan says:
::watches the viewscreen::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CSO: Report

CTO_Black says:
::looks at his TO:: TO: What are our bugs doing in cargobay 2 ?

CSO_Matisse says:
CO: no damage to the bugs sir, they are moving away.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Full impulse engage

XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Have the ones outside left?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Aye sir. ::engages full impulse:: Full impulse.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION: The ship goes to full impulse.

CEO_Kerpak says:
<Tyler>  ::Still monitoring the containers... no change.::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
*CEO*: Initiate warp restart in 5,4,3,2...........

CSO_Matisse says:
CO: none on the ship left

CEO_Kerpak says:
*CO*:  Initiating warp.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Take us to warp 6 when drive comes online

CEO_Kerpak says:
*CO*:  Drive will be on-line in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

XO_Sheridan says:
::initiates warp drive:: CO: Warp drive online, warp 6 now.....!

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Watches viewer as insects leave::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The ship goes to warp.  ETA to Earth 1 day.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
ALL: Well done,

XO_Sheridan says:
XO: Exterior sensors clear sir.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: ETA now one solar day to earth.

CTO_Black says:
::sighs::  TO: Acknowledged...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Very good, Will be nice to be home

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Yes it will indeed sir. :;smiles::
