First Officer's Log - SD 10311.22

We seem to have been infected with uninvited guests.  This situation will be handled as an intruder alert and all staff must act accordingly.  Once the situation is under control aboard the Pendragon, we will attempt to rectify matters on the surface.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::seated, or at least seems to be, in the center chair::  CNS: Mikal, do you have a moment?

CNS_Luchena says:
::petting a tribble::  XO:  Sure.  What's up?

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::ha I hate these thing but in some way they are cute::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
#::hums quietly to himself as the Exodus flies...well, not quite gracefully...through space and towards the Pendragon::

Host Cat says:
Action: The TO is still stuck planet side.

TO_Takei says:
@::on the surface swimming through tribbles::

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>: XO: The TO is still trying to make his way through the tribbles, Sir!

TO_Takei says:
@*XO*:Can I get an extraction? I can not see through the tribbles.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::stands::  CNS: I am afraid of what may happen in the next hour......  Therefore, I hereby re-instate you to the office of Second Officer and charge you with all the rights and responsibilities deemed worthy of your position.  May the Prophets be merciful...

CNS_Luchena says:
::gives the XO an odd look::  XO:  Okaaay....

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics> ::gasps::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
#::finds the Pen on sensors and opens a comm as he comes within range:: COM: Pendragon: This is Kymar Dremel of the Exodus, your new CMO. Any chance of me getting a landing spot, this bucket of bolts is about to fall apart...

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics> ::snaps her gum:: XO: Some Dremel dude is hailing us, Sir!

Host XO_Rofax says:
*TO* You will have to make due.  We cannot risk lowering shields.  Find a safe house and barricade yourselves in.

Host Cat says:
Action: There are now five tribbles on the XO's chair.

TO_Takei says:
@::walks over to what looks like a spaceport::

Host Cat says:
Action: There are tribbles all over Engineering.

CNS_Luchena says:
::gets up and starts collecting tribbles from the bridge::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::eyes OPS::  OPS: Thank you.   COMM: Exodus: Kymar:  Cmdr, we have a situation.  Prepare for emergency beam out.  Gather the essentials and we will retrieve the rest at a later time.

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::takes a seat and pick one and starts to pet it  oh well::

CNS_Luchena says:
::can't believe it took a tribble emergency to get reinstated::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Mikal, what are you sensing from the Tribbles?  I've noticed you haven't put that one down...  ::brushes the Tribbles out of the chair::

Host Cat says:
Action: The tribble has an "accident" on EO Lukeski_walker.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
#::bites his lip and sighs. "Make sure they don’t lose the fighter, Dremel. Jerem would kill us...":: COM: Pendragon: *CO*: Acknowledged, Pendragon. I have all my necessary equipment, but could you please try and keep this fighter...well...safe?

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::aaaaah man::

TO_Takei says:
@::Climbs in a shuttle he found::

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS_Anybody: Can you beam the shuttle and all directly to a cargo bay?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sensing from the tribbles?  ::waves a crewman over to remove the pile of tribbles he's collected

TO_Takei says:
@::keeps the tribbles out::

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle begins to slide into a ditch.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: You seemed rather attached....

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics> XO: Aye, Sir!

TO_Takei says:
@::starts up the shuttle and takes off::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pets the tribble he didn't put in the pile::  XO:  They are very calming to interact with Sir.  Unless one's a Klingon of course.

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle crash lands and kills the TO.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to sense anything from the tribble he's holding::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO is transported over.

CNS_Luchena says:
::senses only warm, fuzzy feelings::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::works at the science station::

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>XO: He has arrived safely, Sir. I have tractored his shuttle.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:The TO has been killed sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: A blip appears on the sensors.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I got a blip on sensors.

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::I hate these things::

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Thank you.  ::orders an escort to help the CMO to the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  The Romulans again?

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Blip?  Blips bother me, please identify.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
CNS: Unknown.

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
self: maybe I can beam all of these thing of this ship::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::steps off the transporter pad and checks that his lab coat, phaser pistol and med kit got beamed over for him before heading out of the door and trying to remember where the nearest TL is on an Excelsior  class ship::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I will try.

Host Cat says:
Action: A Klingon BOP warps into the system.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:Klingon Bird of Prey approaching.

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS_Person: Scan the ship.  Best estimate, how many Tribbles are aboard?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Klingons?  Now what....

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>XO: Their ship or ours?

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Perhaps they'll blame us after firing disruptors on us.....

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>::snaps her gum and checks her manicure::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::steps into the TL and sighs. "A lot plusher than the QIb...I swear, if this thing grinds I'm going to kill you":: Self: I hope not...TL: Bridge, and no grinding noises

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: The Pendragon.... we'll deal with them shortly.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes go wide::

Host Cat says:
Action: The TL purrs....its full of tribbles.

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Please hail the BOP.  Let's find out what all the fuss is about.

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>::checks:: 922 of the little buggers....400 of them in your quarters, Sir. ::grins::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::raises an eyebrow Vulcan style before looking down, noticing for the first time the carpet of tribbles:: Self: Oh no...I thought it was just a nice coloured carpet...

Host XO_Rofax says:
Self:  400?  ::didn't realize his quarters were that large::

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO is getting emergency repair calls from all over the ship.

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>::hails the BOP:: XO: On screen, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: The TL arrives on the bridge.

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::man I am only one guy what do they wanted from me::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::steps off the TL as it stops and walks into the bridge, dodging the furry little balls on the floor:: Self: What a mess...

Host XO_Rofax says:
::nods to OPS::  COMM: BOP: This is Cmdr Pindari Rofax of the USS Pendragon.  Please identify yourselves.

Host Cat says:
Action: A big, hairy, Klingon appears on screen. He's even uglier than Rofax.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::looks over his shoulder at the sounds of the TL doors opening::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::places a hand on his phaser pistol as he looks around at the numerous tribbles:: Self: Too many to neuter...

CNS_Luchena says:
::rises to greet the new CMO::  CMO:  Welcome aboard.  ::grins::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wonders if he's really that hairy or if it is just all the Tribbles::

Host Motak says:
COM:PEN: Are you Kerina O'Dunn?

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::turns to the CNS and nods his greetings before smiling. "Don't trust that one...he looks crazy" And you think we're not?:: CNS: Thank you, its a pleasure to be here...I think

Host XO_Rofax says:
COMM: BOP: I am afraid not.  The Captain is away on a personal matter.  I am her XO, Cmdr Rofax.

Host Motak says:
::frowns::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  It's not usually like this.  It's usually worse.  ::grins again::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::notices the frown is almost Zax-like, but not quite grumpy enough to be an exact match::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::chuckles and nods:: CNS: Are we working on a way to fix this...problem?

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
CMO: And random people always get killed.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::overhears the SO and awaits for the proverbial ceiling tile to fall on him::

Host Motak says:
COM:Pen: I am Motak. Have you solved....the problem?

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  We are rounding them up in a cargo bay, but they just keep coming.  We suspect it’s a Romulan plot.  The planet below is a Klingon colony.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::looks paranoid::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
CNS: Tribbles...a...Romulan plot? That’s certainly underhanded of them...::"Yep, definitely mad...be wary, brother"::

Host XO_Rofax says:
COMM: BOP: Hardly.  We seem to be infested, but did detect a Romulan ion trail some time ago.  We are attempting to isolate it and discover where they have run off to.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I'm Betazoid, by the way.  ::grins again::

Host Motak says:
Action: The EO trips over a tribble and bangs his head on a nearby console.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
:;sighs and nods:: CNS: Then ignore my..."better"...half

EO_Lukeskie_walker says:
::ouch passes out::

Host Motak says:
Action: He is knocked unconscious.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  I can't wait to read your personnel file.

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Any signs of other ships in the area?  We need to find out how the Tribbles are getting past our shields.

Host Motak says:
::spits:: COM:Pen: Those <insert expletive here>!

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
CNS: Yeah, most counsellors can't. ::smiles a little sarcastically::

CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  CMO:  That's okay.  We'll be even when you read my medical file.

Host Motak says:
<EO_Uhoh>*ALL*: Medical emergency in Main engineering!

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::scans::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles quietly and nods:: CNS: I can tell this is going to be a...wild ride

Host XO_Rofax says:
COMM: BOP: I share your sentiment Motak.  However, at this rate, neither of us will live long enough to exact an appropriate punishment.....

Host XO_Rofax says:
::overhears the COMM:: CMO: Please see to that.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to the XO before turning back to the counsellor:: CNS: It was nice meeting you ::turns and dashes back into the TL:: TL: Main Engineering, and make it snappy...with less purring

Host Motak says:
::looks off screen and nods::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I can't tell.

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks he's going to get along well with the new CMO::

Host Motak says:
COM:Pen: This planet...was found by the Romulans first. We set up a colony before they did. This is deliberate sabotage!

Host XO_Rofax says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: Mikal?  Your impressions of the CMO?

Host Motak says:
Action: The CMO steps on a tribble, who screams.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  He's a loon Sir.  He'll be a great addition to the ship.  ::grins::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::leaps back and kneels down, picking the tribble up in his arms:: Tribble: I’m sorry little guy, are you all right?

Host XO_Rofax says:
COMM: BOP: Motak: You have 5,000 colonists down there who don't seem to be arguing about the matter.  Have you been able to examine any of the creatures?

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wonders exactly what the CNS meant by that, but fears the worst::  CNS: Thank you.  Please rein him in if things get out of hand....

Host Motak says:
<Tribble>::purrs::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:According to internal sensors Tribbles are in the Jeffery tubes, walls, crawl spaces, and even the torpedo tubes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::strokes it softly s the TL comes to a halt and he steps out:: Tribble: We'll keep you in here ::places it in his inside lab-coat pocket before stepping into ME::

Host Motak says:
::shudders:: COM:Pen: Us? Play with rodents? It is your problem, not ours.

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Scan the database for something to neutralize them.  Biological, thermal, anything.  We need to disable them without harming neither the Pendragon nor the crew.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::scans::

Host XO_Rofax says:
COMM: Motak:  Then you won't mind if we beam over several hundred of them for you to examine?

Host Motak says:
::looks angry:: COM:Pen: That would be an act of war......you have been entrusted by the council to solve this affront. See that you do.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::looks around for the injured crewman before pulling his tricorder out and scanning for humanoid life signs::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::starts to pet a tribble while he works::

Host Motak says:
Action: The EO is covered with tribbles, but still alive.

Host Motak says:
::closes the channel::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sheesh. What a grouch

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::walks over to the area where the EO appears to be and starts shoveling tribbles off him:: EO: Are you alright, can you hear me?

Host Motak says:
Action: The BOP moves out of transporter range.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::turns to CNS:: CNS: Actually, I was thinking "What a Klingon...."

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:The original poison the Klingons used to sabotage the grain of Sherman’s planet would suffice.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:Hopefully...

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: If we replicate it in gaseous form, how damaging will it be to the crew and children?

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks Klingon... grouch... same thing really::

Host Motak says:
Action: The CMO locates the mortally injured EO.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Can you scan the hull for signs of a breach or perhaps a docked vessel?  These Tribbles appeared far too easily.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::scans the EO quickly, running a full medical with his tricorder as he unslings his physicians kit::

Host Motak says:
Action: The ship is suddenly rocked by phaser fire as a Romulan BOP briefly shimmers into existence and then disappears once again.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I advise it in food form because it is also hazardous to us in gaseous form but if the CMO can help I can modify the gas to kill only tribbles.

CNS_Luchena says:
::grabs his seat as the ship shakes::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I think we found the source, Sir.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::holds onto the armrest and curses rather colorfully::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: I would tend to agree.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  If they hold still long enough to get a lock on them, maybe we could beam them all back over?

Host XO_Rofax says:
TAC: Full phaser sweep of the area and projected course of the BOP.  Fire at will.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: If we can locate them, I would rather disable them.  I fear they would destroy the Tribbles at first chance.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::folds up his tricorder and tucks it into his belt before flipping open his kit and loading a hypo with a coagulant, injecting it into the EO's neck:: *OPS*: Emergency transport, 2 to beam directly to sickbay

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:Using the tribbles as a guide I have tuned the gas to tribbles only.

Host Cat says:
<TO_Tality> ::fires at the last known coordinates.::

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Disable them, try not to kill them

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>::beams them quickly to sickbay::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::order the helm to perform evasives like they're going out of style::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  They might hurt the tribbles?  ::looks at his favourite tribble with alarm::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I will use the gas in a small amount to disable them.  permission to proceed?

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Do it.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::releases the gas::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Not if I can help it.  But, we must be able to control the population.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods and pets his tribble::

Host Cat says:
<FCO_Flybynit>::enters the coordinates into the helm::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::walks around the biobed and snaps his fingers at an MO:: MO: Get me surgery equipment, stat!

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:We should see a result in a minute.

Host Cat says:
<MO_Na>::hands him the first of his medical tools::

CNS_Luchena says:
Tribble:  its okay little guy... you're just going to go to sleep....  ::pets it some more::

Host Cat says:
<MO_Na>::wonders why he's looking a bit green::

Host XO_Rofax says:
TAC: Release tachyon bursts every ten seconds, alternating 180-degree sweeps.  We need to disable that ship.

Host Cat says:
Action: The BOP opens fire again.

Host Cat says:
Action: The tribbles begin to nod off.

Host XO_Rofax says:
TAC: Isolate that source and return fire,  full spread!

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:A success we have Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::listens to snoring snuffling noises from his tribble::  SO:  I think it's working.

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO goes into cardiac arrest.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
CNS:Yes it is.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Mikal, gather the Tribbles and secure them.  If any are outside of the cargo bay, I will have them destroyed.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::curses and holds out his hand:: MO: 5ccs of Cordrazine

Host Cat says:
Action: The Pendragon rocks once again.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: You have 30 minutes.

Host Cat says:
<MO_Na> ::slaps the hypo into his hand::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:Shall we send the gas to the planet?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO incredulously::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::takes it and injects the EO before handing it back:: MO: 20cc's of Hyperzine

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes he doesn't have time to argue::

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Drop shields and transport several canisters.  We still have some people down there.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::drops shields and sends the canisters down set on auto release::

Host Cat says:
<TO_Nale>::fires at will::

Host XO_Rofax says:
<TAC_Tic_Toe>  ::fires at will, actually, Klingons, but you get the picture::

CNS_Luchena says:
::works with Operations to mobilize personnel for tribble hunting::

Host Cat says:
Action: The Pendragon scores a direct hit on the BOP at the exact second it is dropping its shields to cloak. What a lucky hit!

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Raise shields!

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::raises shields::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Permission to go to the cargo bay, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: The canisters are beamed down.

Host XO_Rofax says:
CNS: Granted.

Host Cat says:
<MO_Na> ::slaps another hypo into the doctor’s hand::

CNS_Luchena says:
::collects a few stray tribbles from the bridge, and his own personal favourite, and enters the TL::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::takes it and injects that into the EO, looking up at the cardiac monitor and praying silently::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::tosses out Helm and TAC orders about the bridge, like candy at Halloween::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::sends a signal opening canisters::

Host Cat says:
Action: The Klingon BOP swoops in out of nowhere, phasers blazing.

Host XO_Rofax says:
<TAC_Tic_Toe>  ::fires at the BOP and where he hopes it will be::

Host Cat says:
Action: The canisters are opened.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:Should we fire back?

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO's heart begins to beat again.

CNS_Luchena says:
::emerges on Deck 16 with his tribbles and heads to the main cargo bay::

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Please coordinate with TAC and find a weakness in their shields.  I want them disabled.

Host Cat says:
Action: The two BOPs are locked in mortal combat.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::scans shields::

Host Cat says:
Action: The SO finds a weakness.

CNS_Luchena says:
::hands most of the tribbles over to a tactical guy who takes them into the cargo bay.  Hangs onto one and sadly pets it::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
TAC:I found it.::sends it to TAC::

Host Cat says:
Action: But the Klingons find it first.

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::lets out a sigh of relief before getting back to work:: MO: Hypercoagulin, 2ccs

Host Cat says:
Action: The badly damaged Romulan ship goes to warp.

Host Cat says:
Action: The Klingon ship follows.

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Monitor their positions and hold ours.

CNS_Luchena says:
::just can't do it::

Host Cat says:
<MO_Na>:: thinks the doctor is a bit demanding but does as asked::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::Monitors::

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>XO: sir! The tribbles are all falling asleep on the planet!

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::takes the hypo and injects the EO in the arm, handing the hypo back before checking on the blood clot with his medical scanners::

CNS_Luchena says:
*XO*:  The tribbles are contained Sir.  Except for one.  Can I keep it?

Host Cat says:
Action: A ceiling tile falls on the SO's head.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::feels glad he is alive::

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO is stabilized.

Host XO_Rofax says:
*CNS* You will proceed to Sickbay with it immediately and have it sterilized.  Then we can discuss the matter.

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles::  *XO*:  Thank you Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes his sleeping tribble into a TL::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::sighs and smiles, turning to the MO:: MO: Thank you, nurse. Please make sure he stays stable...

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Drop to Yellow alert and beam up as many as you can.

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 7.

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I am glad ceiling fans don't weigh much.

Host Cat says:
<OPS_Tetrics>Sir, I have received a distress call from a shielded, under ground cavern system, Sir. We've found the missing colonists!

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
::rubs his head::

Host Cat says:
Action: The SO needs a few stitches.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wonders when they got ceiling fans installed::

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits TL and heads to sickbay::

SO_Pleasedontkillme says:
XO:I am delusional. permission to go to sickbay?

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Hail them and advise of the situation.  We will clean up as best we can.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters sickbay::  CMO:  Would you neuter this tribble for me?  I think the XO might be convinced to let me keep it.

Host XO_Rofax says:
SO: Standby.   ::orders medical beam out of the SO directly to Sickbay::

CMO_LtCmdr_Kymar says:
::turns to the CNS and smiles:: CNS: Sure, it shouldn't take too long. Hand it over and I'll give the poor critter the snip...
