USS Pharaoh
SD 10210.31

MISSION SUMMARY: The Pharaoh has been ordered to respond to a distress signal and render assistance.

ETA: Two minutes.

CMO_Stidd says:
::In sickbay reviewing crew medical reports, notes that the CO is late for his physical, again!::
FCO_Khrex says:
::sitting at helm::
CSO_McGrady says:
::stands at science, monitoring sensors for incoming vessels::
CO_Starks says:
:: enters bridge after getting word of distress signal ::
XO_Chalen says:
::walks onto the bridge looking over status reports::
SO_Raja says:
::At station::
OPS_Verdi says:
::at the OPS console::
TO_Difore says:
::looks anxiously at the console, feeling a little queasy::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: source of the distress call?
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, we'll reach the ship sending out the distress signal in two minutes.
CO_Starks says:
:: takes center chair::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: hail them
XO_Chalen says:
TO:   Yellow alert.   Shields up.
CO_Starks says:
SCI: full scan once in SRS range
TO_Difore says:
::stutters:: XO: A-a-a-ye, Sir.
OPS_Verdi says:
COM:  Unknown ship:  This is the USS Pharaoh.  Respond please.
MO_Jorae says:
::Ducks behind a biobed to calibrate its settings.::

SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes Sir-r-r
EO_Mitciv says:
::prowls around Main Engineering checking out the Main Status Board.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Notes the yellow alert and heads for the bridge::
SO_Raja says:
::Brings all sensors online::
TO_Difore says:
::antennae twitch anxiously::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: The ship is a large freighter with numerous compartments.  There is minor interference in a spherical pattern with a radius of .5 km, centered on the primary energy signature.
CO_Starks says:
CSO: life signs?
SO_Raja says:
::Goes over the sensor readings::
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  No response to hails.
TO_Difore says:
::is thinking desperately that she should have listened to her mother and become an educator instead. What was she ever thinking joining Starfleet?::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Arrives on the bridge:: CO: Any ideas what the emergency is, Captain?
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Can we cut thr-r-rough the interr-r-rfer-r-rnce?
eOPS_Verdi says:
::looks over at the new CMO, then returns to her attempts to hail the freighter::
MO_Jorae says:
::Stands after finishing the calibration, hitting her head.:: OH #(*&$ !!
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: no lifesigns present, nor any signs of biological matter at all.  All systems are functioning normally.  Readings could be altered by the interference.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Away team?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: The interference seems to be caused by an enormously dense dimensional flux.
CO_Starks says:
XO: it would be in order
CO_Starks says:
CMO: care to join the team Mr. Stidd?
XO_Chalen says:
::nods::
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: We can't seem to cut through with sensors.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  The freighter is still transmitting the distress signal.
CO_Starks says:
CMO: I can't guarantee anyone for you to treat but we can't be sure
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Sir, wait...
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: Yes sir.
XO_Chalen says:
::looks at the CSO::
CO_Starks says:
CSO:..what is it?
TO_Difore says:
::is really feeling queasy with nerves::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::running through different communication frequencies trying to cut through the interference::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Transporting is absolutely not safe with this distortion.  I recommend sending a shielded shuttlecraft.
SO_Raja says:
::Tries to see what the CSO sees on the sensors::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  The Cleopatra can seat four.
MO_Jorae says:
::Loosens her jaw and goes looking for her analgesic.::
CO_Starks says:
XO:  choose your team Commander
CO_Starks says:
FCO: Have the shuttlebay ready the Cleo
eOPS_Verdi says:
::just gets static no matter what she tries::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Aye sir.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO, CMO, FCO:   Mr, McGrady, Mr. Stidd, Mr. Khrex, you're with me.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: You have Science.
CMO_Stidd says:
XO: Aye sir
CSO_McGrady says:
::follows the XO::

XO_Chalen says:
::heads out the port egress toward Shuttle Bay 1::
TO_Difore says:
::sighs in relief::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Aye sir.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Yes Sir-r-r
eOPS_Verdi says:
::puts the static on bridge speakers::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Follows to the shuttlebay::

ACTION: Listening to the static, OPS gets an uneasy feeling, but nothing more specific.

MO_Jorae says:
::Wonders what it is about the Pharaoh that she seems to continuously be pumping medicine into herself.::
SO_Raja says:
::Concentrates back on the sensor readings::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::turns it off, feeling uneasy::
TO_Difore says:
::pushes her hair back with a shaky hand::
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters the shuttle bay::
XO_Chalen says:
::enters SB1 with the others::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Full flight prep, double time it.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Enters the shuttlebay::
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters a shuttle pod and prepares her for departure.::
CO_Starks says:
SO: will we be able to communicate with our away team through this distortion?
XO_Chalen says:
::steps into the Cleopatra and sits next to the FCO::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to run scans on the ship and the surrounding area::
eEO_Mitciv says:
::prowls around main engineering running diagnostic after diagnostic and wonders if anyone will tell him what is going on::
CSO_McGrady says:
::sits immediately behind the FCO::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Everyone on board?
CMO_Stidd says:
::enters the Cleo and takes his seat::
CTO_Gem says:
::enters the bridge and steps to her console::
XO_Chalen says:
ALL:  Phasers on heavy stun.
CO_Starks says:
TO: Ensign please take the con
CSO_McGrady says:
::sets phaser to heavy stun::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  All set, take us out.
FCO_Khrex says:
*OPS*: Shuttle Pod ready for departure.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Sets phaser and reholsters it::
TO_Difore says:
::looks shocked:: CO: Aye, Sir.
eOPS_Verdi says:
*FCO*:  Opening shuttlebay doors now.  Be careful.
FCO_Khrex says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.
TO_Difore says:
::hopes she doesn't crash the ship into a planet or something::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Taking her out sir.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::opens the shuttlebay doors and depressurizes the bay::
SO_Raja says:
CO: I Don't think Communication would be possible
TO_Difore says:
::takes her seat::
FCO_Khrex says:
::flies the shuttle pod out the shuttle bay using thrusters::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO: Take us in nice and slow.
FCO_Khrex says:
::as the shuttle pod clears the bay doors, accelerates to one eighth impulse::
TO_Difore says:
::wonders if there is a barf bag under her seat::

CMO_Stidd says:
::Maintains a cool appearance through the uneasiness of carrying a phaser::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::flies the ship to a docking hatch::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::monitoring the shuttle for as long as she can::
SO_Raja says:
::Monitors the shuttle as it makes the trip over::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO: Radiation levels?
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Radiation levels appear normal.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::docks to a docking hatch on the alien ship::
XO_Chalen says:
@::nods::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::starts analyzing the static::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::feels uneasy again::
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: We're docked sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::sets phaser to maximum stun::

ACTION: The shuttle neatly docks with the alien ship, which at close range looks like a large freighter.

XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Okay, everyone pile out.   Mr. McGrady, you've got point.
TO_Difore says:
::adjusts the course slightly::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Aye, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
::unbuckles seat restraint and pulls out his phaser::
CMO_Stidd says:
@::Stands and takes the rear position::
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Sir, there's a second docking port on the other side of the ship.
SO_Raja says:
::Tail flicks forth and back::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: can you raise the away team?

ACTION: Careful analysis of the static by OPS uncovers what sounds like a faint, whispering, message: "Come."

CSO_McGrady says:
@::leads the way into the shuttle bay, searching for lifeforms or abnormalities with his tricorder.
SO_Raja says:
CO: Shuttle has docked with the ship
eEO_Mitciv says:
::sees the last diagnostic is once again clean and wonders how he does his job so bloody well::
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I'll try Sir, but I doubt it.  By the way......
eOPS_Verdi says:
::looks at the readouts again::
CO_Starks says:
OPS:...?
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  Okay, let me know if someone tries to dock with it.  ::grins::
XO_Chalen says:
@::follows the CSO::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::attempts to contact the AT::
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Acknowledged.
CTO_Gem says:
::at tactical pondering what she missed::
TO_Difore says:
@::begins to compose her resignation from Starfleet in her head to keep her from getting sick on someone::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  I'm definitely picking up evidence of the dimensional flux.

ACTION: OPS gets the same static as before.

eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  No luck, but listen to this.  ::puts the "static" on speaker::
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:   Mr. Stidd, can you get any better look at possible bio signals?
SO_Raja says:
::Tries his best to keep a sensor lock on the away team::
CO_Starks says:
:: listens to static ::

ACTION: The AT approaches the main airlock.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Dimensional?
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Does that sound like someone whispering "come"?
FCO_Khrex says:
@::follows the XO out::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: That's affirmative sir.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::feeling even more uneasy::
CO_Starks says:
OPS:.....could it be?
CMO_Stidd says:
@XO: I will try, sir. ::Pulls out tricorder and begins scanning::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: It looks like this is the main airlock.  ::points::
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I think so.  I'll try to clear it up some more.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::draws phaser::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  that's vague enough.   Let's get through that airlock.   ::taps commands onto the door control::
eEO_Mitciv says:
::goes to the replicator and gets a cup of coffee::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::pokes away at her console::

DESCRIPTION: The airlock opens into a large, open area that looks like it was once festively decorated. Colorful banners drape walls and ceiling, and many plants ranging from small mosses to large trees are arranged tastefully throughout the site.

DESCRIPTION: Beautiful tile work graces the floor, cheerful murals coat the walls, and the ceiling is a giant viewport looking out into the stars.

CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: They sure know how to decorate.
CO_Starks says:
SO: I want you to start working a way to get through that interference, transporters would be great but I'd settle for some communications
XO_Chalen says:
SELF:  ::whistles::   Fancy....

DESCRIPTION: All the plants look to be long dead and darkened, almost as if burnt. The floor is nearly covered with a blackened, dried muck of some sort that wafts a metallic scent.

FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Uh... weren't we docked with a ship?

DESCRIPTION: The murals have been scratched and rent until they have started to peel away from the walls, curling on the edges to give the remains the texture of old wool. A deep cold emanates from the viewport, despite the environmental controls.

CO_Starks says:
TO: keep us as close as you can without putting the ship in danger
SO_Raja says:
CO: I have been tr-r-rying to get thr-r-rough the inter-r-rferr-r-rnce
CMO_Stidd says:
@::Scans the muck on the floor::
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Anything on bio scans?
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: I'm inclined to think that this is unusual scenery for a cargo freighter, sir.
CO_Starks says:
SO: If at first you don't succeed....your Capt. will make you try try again
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Agreed.  Position of the dimensional flux?
TO_Difore says:
CO: Ayes, Sir. ::has visions of the ship crashing and begins to feel dizzy from stress-induced anxiety::
CMO_Stidd says:
@XO: The tricorder is picking up too much interference.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::looks at one of the plants::
XO_Chalen says:
@::taps badge::  *CO*:  Chalen to Pharaoh, we are proceeding into the ship.   No signs of anything yet.
SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes Sir-r-r ::Tucks tail between legs and tries to cut through the interference::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  It's almost like an old style luxury cruiser........

CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: I can't pinpoint the center...too much sensor interference, but we seem to be getting closer.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Aye.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Lead the way.   
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Keep those tricorders running. 
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  The energy source appears to be emanating from the engine room.  ::leads the way::
CTO_Gem says:
::turns to CO:: CO: Sir, is there anything I can do?
FCO_Khrex says:
@::pulls out tricorder and begins scans::
SO_Raja says:
::Tries to scan on different wavelengths::
CO_Starks says:
*EO* Mr. Mitciv, report to the bridge engineering station
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  Keep your tricorder locked onto the shuttle, I want it there waiting for us when we get around to leaving.

ACTION: The AT enters a corridor, heading for what they hope is engineering.

CMO_Stidd says:
@::Follows the AT::

DESCRIPTION: In the corridors, the walls continue what looks like a giant, story-based mural that began near the airlocks. The floor and ceiling are soothing pastel shades, except for the blackened crust that continues here. The floor creaks lightly with each step, and echoes up and down the length of the brightly lit hallway.

FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Aye sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::locks onto the shuttle pod with tricorder.::
CO_Starks says:
CTO: Just keep an eye out, and have Deck three prep a shuttlepod just in case

CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  This seems a bit like a dream to me, sir. ::continues towards engineering::
CTO_Gem says:
::nods to the CO, sends a message to deck three::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::still trying to clear up the static to see if that really was a voice::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  My dreams are a lot less creepy, Commander.
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Can you get any kind of residual lifesigns?   Can we make out what species may have used this ship?
eOPS_Verdi says:
::shakes her head as she still can't say for sure no matter what she does::

ACTION: The AT arrive in engineering....

ACTION: As the CMO enters the engine room, he is overcome by a tidal wave of doom and dark presence that reduces them to a cowering ball of whimpering fear. Even to the non-empaths, the heavy taint in the air is palpable and leaves them uneasy.

eOPS_Verdi says:
::sighs::
SO_Raja says:
::growls in frustration as he is unable to get through the interference::
FCO_Khrex says:
@ALL: I have a very bad feeling about this...

DESCRIPTION: The quantum reactor pulses steadily, tightly reigning its incredible energies.

XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:   Doctor!?   Are you all right!?
TO_Difore says:
::accidentally hits the wrong button and almost sends the ship into reverse::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: I will be fine, I just need to compose myself, s-s-s-sir.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::feels an odd little jolt and glances over at the TO at the helm::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Is that the source of the interference?   ::points to the reactor::
CO_Starks says:
:: notices the ship list towards the freighter a bit more ::
TO_Difore says:
::swallows thickly and looks apologetically at the OPS officer::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::looks at a console on the wall::
CO_Starks says:
TO: ease us off a little bit
eOPS_Verdi says:
::smiles slightly at the TO::
TO_Difore says:
::corrects course::
CO_Starks says:
TO: Are you feeling allright Ensign?
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: I need to leave the engine room sir as we all do I should think.
TO_Difore says:
CO: S-Sorry, Sir....I'm f-fine.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: That is most certainly the source.
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:   Get the Doctor out of here, wait for us in the main cargo area where we walked in.
eCTO_Gem says:
::blinks at the console... vision distorted by staring at it too long::
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Yeah, I'm feeling kinda queasy sir.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Stands rock still::
SO_Raja says:
CO: I am having no luck as of yet on getting a clear-r-r  reading on the ship
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Mr. McGrady and I will be right behind you.

DESCRIPTION: A marvel of engineering, the quantum reactor has at its core a single electron. It taps into the electron's energy in infinite dimensions simultaneously, providing an infinite source of power.

FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Aye sir.
CO_Starks says:
SO: how long have they been out of contact?
FCO_Khrex says:
@CMO: C'mon doc.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Amazing, sir.

XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  I'm seeing it.  ::looks at reactor reading on his tricorder::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@FCO: I can not.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::sits back in her chair, her brows furrowed in frustration::
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  What's going on Doctor?  Talk to me.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::tries to help the doctor out of engineering:::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Out of contact for-r-r 13 mins and 13 secs
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  Contact the Pharaoh, update them our status.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Whatever we do, sir, we must refrain from destroying this engine at all costs.
CO_Starks says:
OPS: Are we sure that was a distress signal that we received?
@CMO: Doc? You can. C'mon. I'll help you.
CO_Starks says:
OPS:...or was it just on the emergency frequency?
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Destroy it?   Why would we do that?
eCTO_Gem says:
::stares at the viewscreen, at her console, at the captain, at the OPS, at the TO, at the console::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: We need to leave here, now!
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Aye sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Doctor TALK to me!  What is it!?
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  Perhaps we would not, but if someone else does, we should be far, FAR away.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I'm pretty sure it was a distress signal Sir.  By the way, we may be able to make intermittent contact with the AT.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Loud and clear.
CO_Starks says:
OPS: open a channel
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* Commander ...report
eOPS_Verdi says:
::opens a channel to the AT::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: The feelings I am getting are coming from the reactor, I cannot approach any closer to it.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  You may have to repeat it a few times.
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* Commander do you read me?
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  There is a bubble within the reactor core that is unique from the rest in that only seems to be existent in one dimension.
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Then get out of here.  Go with Mr. Khrex back to the airlock.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::waits for the AT to respond::
XO_Chalen says:
@*CO*:  Captain, I read you but just barely.  
XO_Chalen says:
@*CO* Stand by.
FCO_Khrex says:
@CMO: C'mon doc.
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* report
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Exits engineering::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::shrugs at the CO as that is the best she can do::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::exits engineering::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::heads towards the shuttle bay::
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  Take him out of here  ::points to doc::  Get to the shuttle and update the Captain on what we've found.   Double time it.
SO_Raja says:
::Takes the initiative and tries to help clean up the transmission::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Maybe they'll get a better COM signal farther from this thing.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Feels the "energy" diminishing::
XO_Chalen says:
@::looks at the reactor::
eCTO_Gem says:
CO: Sir. Should it be taking this long?
FCO_Khrex says:
@::enters the shuttle bay::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: I recommend we get an engineer over here, if there's one to spare.
CO_Starks says:
COM *AWAY TEAM* Away team respond, please report in if you can receive
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  You holding up?  I don't want my whole AT to go to pieces.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: I'm fine sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Good.  Then can we find a way to safely power down this reactor?
FCO_Khrex says:
@::reaches the airlock, only to find it sealed and locked::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@FCO:Didn't you feel it?
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Try to interface with the main computer.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  They are probably getting lots of static with your messages, Sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
@CMO: I didn't feel like myself.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Aye, sir.
eOPS_Verdi says:
Thinks to self:  Either that or they are deliberately ignoring the CO.
eCTO_Gem says:
::tries to suppress the worry she has for the away team, and succeeds:: Self: Remember who you are.
FCO_Khrex says:
@*XO*: Commander, the airlock is locked and sealed.
CSO_McGrady says:
@::attempts to interface with the main computer::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to work diligently at his post::
XO_Chalen says:
@*FCO*:  Then unseal it!   But COM the ship first, your signal should be better out there.

ACTION: The computer almost seems to toy with the CSO's attempts to access its systems.

eOPS_Verdi says:
::wishes someone would respond so they know what's going on over there::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Blast it.  ::slams on the console::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@FCO: There is danger in that room.  I am certain of it.
FCO_Khrex says:
@*XO*: Aye sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Calm down Commander.  Keep at it.
CSO_McGrady says:
@::continues to try for a bit more::
CO_Starks says:
ALL: I don't like this one damn bit
XO_Chalen says:
@::scans for surrounding power infrastructure to the reactor where alternate interfaces may lie::
FCO_Khrex says:
@COM: Pharaoh: Away Team to Pharaoh.
SO_Raja says:
::looks over at the CO as he hears him say a bad word::
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  There you go, Sir.
CO_Starks says:
COM *FCO* We ready you, report
CO_Starks says:
edit read
CSO_McGrady says:
@Computer:  Abbra Caddabra, you pile of dung!  Let me in!
eCTO_Gem says:
::blinks::
TO_Difore says:
::stomach lurches once again::
XO_Chalen says:
@::chuckles::   CSO:  The scientific method eh?
XO_Chalen says:
@::still scanning::
XO_Chalen says:
@SELF:  Oh Grozit..........
FCO_Khrex says:
@COM: CO: Captain, we're OK. We've found this engineering section. Made us feel queasy.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Sir, I think it's safe to say that this computer is impenetrable...probably even if we attempted to gain access using our ship’s computer.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  I've cut through the interference enough to identify the black muck.   It's blood.   Dried blood.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Oh boy.
FCO_Khrex says:
@COM: CO: The doc is feeling the worst of it.
CO_Starks says:
COM *FCO* Do you need assistance?
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Taps comm badge::XO: Sir do you read me?
XO_Chalen says:
@*CMO*:  I've got you Doctor.  Report.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  Can you identify the species ::starts scanning the blood with his tricorder.
FCO_Khrex says:
@COM: CO: We should be OK for now captain.
XO_Chalen says:
@::tries to identify species the blood came from::
SO_Raja says:
::Runs a multi-spacial scan of the ship::
CO_Starks says:
COM *FCO*  Try and stay in contact, I have a shuttlepod ready to go but it can only transport two people, transporters are still out
eCMO_Stidd says:
@*XO*: I am fine now, what is your status?
CSO_McGrady says:
@::looks around:  XO:  This is certainly a sentient species...blood shows a very biologically advanced makeup.
FCO_Khrex says:
@COM: CO: Aye sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  And there's lots of it...
XO_Chalen says:
@*CMO*:  I'm sending you a data sample from some blood I've scanned.  Try to identify the species.  
FCO_Khrex says:
@::tries to unlock the airlock::
CO_Starks says:
CTO: If we have to launch another shuttle I want you and Mr. Mtciv from engineering on it
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I'll try to keep a comm link open Sir.  Perhaps we can hear enough to monitor their progress.
eCTO_Gem says:
::nods:: CO: Understood sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Options on how to shut this reactor down.  We can properly investigate with all it's bad mojo.
FCO_Khrex says:
@*XO*: I've reported to the Captain.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@*XO*: Understood.
eEO_Mitciv says:
::inhales his 8th cup of coffee today::
XO_Chalen says:
@*FCO*:  Good.  Now open that airlock, by hook, crook, or Phaser Mister.
TO_Difore says:
::stomach heaves again::

ACTION: It starts as a deep, rumbling hum, and gradually rises in pitch. The wail rises and gets louder until the unholy wail it has become shakes every surface on the ship. Even the non-empaths on board feel a wave of terror and despair...the CMO feels that his skull is about to split in two, but is too distressed to notice.

FCO_Khrex says:
@*XO*: Also I've attempted to open the airlock. It seems it won't let me.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Let me get on it sir....one things for certain, putting this pup to sleep is risky business...we're dealing with an infinite energy supply.
XO_Chalen says:
@::feels the wave::
CSO_McGrady says:
@Self: My God.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  What the #$&# was that!?
TO_Difore says:
::jumps up and runs for the nearest bathroom::
SO_Raja says:
::perks ears as he hears something out of place::
CSO_McGrady says:
@::grows pale::  XO:  I....I....I don't know sir.
eEO_Mitciv says:
::frowns and hears and rumbling and runs to the Main Status Display:: Self: What in Kolker was that ?  ::reads display::
eCTO_Gem says:
::taps combadge:: *EO*: Gem to Mitciv.
ACTION: After a full minute of the tortured shriek, it abruptly stops. As the crew comes back to its senses, they make a disturbing observation: the CMO has been bleeding heavily from ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.

eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Grabs his head and tries to regroup::self: I am Vulcan, I am Vulcan
CO_Starks says:
Self: it would seem we need someone at conn
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:             We're leaving.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Good call, sir.
TO_Difore says:
::as she runs with her hands over her mouth, she trips.......and accidentally loses her lunch on the CO's shoes::
eEO_Mitciv says:
::raises his arms to his head:: Self: Aaargh !!!
SO_Raja says:
::Watches as the TO leaves:: Self: Must be one big hair-r-rball
eOPS_Verdi says:
::watches the TO puke on the CO::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::picks up a medical tricorder and starts to scan the CMO::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::if she wasn't feeling so horrible after that noise, she would be chuckling::
TO_Difore says:
CO: I-I'm sorry, Sir!
eEO_Mitciv says:
<EO_Little> EO_Mitciv: What is happening ?  You OK Jim ?
FCO_Khrex says:
@FCO: Holy horsefeather!
CO_Starks says:
TO: report to the head...NOW

CO_Starks says:
CTO: take the helm
FCO_Khrex says:
@*XO*: Commander you should get up here. Something is wrong with the Doctor
CSO_McGrady says:
@::runs towards the airlock with a sense of urgency::

CO_Starks says:
OPS: do we know what is going on over there?
XO_Chalen says:
@*FCO*  On our way.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Wipes green blood from his face::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::contacts someone from waste disposal to come and clean it up::
XO_Chalen says:
@::enters the airlock area with the CSO and sees the CMO's condition::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::wishes he knew how to use a medical tricorder::
eEO_Mitciv says:
::falls to his knees moaning::
XO_Chalen says:
@SELF:   Grozit!
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  No Sir.  The comm is still open if you want to check.
SO_Raja says:
CO: Want me to take Tactical?

ACTION: The energy signature from engineering grows stronger, and the airlock is still uncooperative.

XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  Give me your phaser!
TO_Difore says:
::arrives at the bathroom and bursts into tears::
CSO_McGrady says:
@FCO: What happened here?
eCTO_Gem says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::logs out of her console, logs into navigations console:: I hope you don't mind my piloting skills. I got a 79% on that piloting test.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::hands the XO his phaser::
CO_Starks says:
SO: keep at SCI unless there's something to shoot at ::grins::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Shakily::XO: I will be fine.
XO_Chalen says:
@::sets both phasers to maximum::
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* Commander are you okay?
FCO_Khrex says:
@CSO: I dunno. One sec he was fine, then he just started bleeding.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Help him!  Use his med kit!
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  Sir...we have to shut down that reactor...and we need an Engineer to do it.  ::starts aiding the CMO::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::opens the medkit and prepares a hypospray of cordrazine::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Aye Sir-r-r ::Pouts cause he can't push any good buttons::
XO_Chalen says:
@::fires both phasers at the airlock door::

ACTION: The phaser strikes the external airlocks, and alarms sound.

FCO_Khrex says:
@::uses the hypospray on the doctor::
CO_Starks says:
CTO: I have faith in you, now bring us within 1000 KM to the ship
XO_Chalen says:
@::keeps the constant fire going::

ACTION: When the XO ceases fire, he hears a hissing sound.

XO_Chalen says:
@::stops firing and hears the hissing::
eEO_Mitciv says:
::moans on the Engineering deck::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Uh oh.
FCO_Khrex says:
@ALL: Now I really have a bad feeling about this.
CSO_McGrady says:
@CMO: Can you hear me?
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   HULL BREACH!
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* Commander Status?
eCTO_Gem says:
::moves the ship slowly within 1000 KM of the ship::

ACTION: The hissing grows louder.....

SO_Raja says:
::Watches his monitors as the ship gets closer::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   Everyone MOVE!   Head toward engineering behind the pressure door!
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: We gotta get outta here, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   MOVE MOVE MOVE!
TO_Difore says:
::stumbles out of the bathroom and decides that she cannot face the Captain::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@CSO: It sounds like your under water but yes I hear you.
eEO_Mitciv says:
<EO_Little> *CO* Captain... EO Mitciv is clutching his head in pain here in Engineering... we need medical assistance !!
FCO_Khrex says:
@::carries the doctor::
eCTO_Gem says:
CO: Moving in sir. Slow... steady... and hopefully this time I'm not... ::whispers:: ...upside down. ::steadies the vessel::
CO_Starks says:
CTO: ::points:: how big is that secondary airlock on that ship

ACTION: They secure the internal airlock just as the sound of screeching metal groans from beyond it.

eCTO_Gem says:
::zooms the viewscreen on the secondary airlock on the ship:: CO: Umm...
CO_Starks says:
*SICKBAY* Medical team to engineering
TO_Difore says:
::decides to go to bed::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::runs towards engineering carrying the doctor over shoulder::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Is it sealed?
XO_Chalen says:
@COM: Pharaoh:  This is Chalen, can you read me?
CO_Starks says:
CTO: could you fit our nose on it..?
eOPS_Verdi says:
COM:  XO:  Go ahead.  You're on speaker.
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* not well commander, report

XO_Chalen says:
@COM: Pharaoh:  I can barely make you out, Captain.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Aye, sir...holding well.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: We MUST get out of this room
eEO_Mitciv says:
::moans in pain on the Engineering floor::
eCTO_Gem says:
CO: It would be difficult with the torn metal in the way sir. ::thinks:: We would need to... blow it away maybe?
XO_Chalen says:
@COM: Pharaoh:  We're trapped.  The primary airlock is toast.  CMO is in bad shape.  Ship's reactor is screaming at us.   Get us OUT of here.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::puts down the Doctor in engineering::
TO_Difore says:
::waits for the tl to arrive::

DESCRIPTION: A gray-skinned humanoid, about the height of a human, stands motionless inside the corridor, watching. It's large black eyes stare blankly from its bulbous head.

eOPS_Verdi says:
::hears and tries again to get a transporter lock::
XO_Chalen says:
@::sees the humanoid::
CO_Starks says:
COM *XO* Get to the Port Airlock Now!
CO_Starks says:
:: stands::
eCTO_Gem says:
::grins:: CO: Or. In an EVA suit... someone could use laser cutters to move it manually.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Tries to get up and leave::
XO_Chalen says:
@::pulls a phaser::   ALIEN:  Who are you!?

ACTION: The being almost seems to slide back down into the corridor, and almost immediately fades from sight.

CSO_McGrady says:
@::pulls his phaser::
CO_Starks says:
CTO: Get our nose in there Jennifer. we have to dock the pharaoh!
XO_Chalen says:
@COM: Pharaoh:  Sir!  We just had some company!   But he disappeared.
CO_Starks says:
CTO: no time to be delicate
FCO_Khrex says:
@::reaches for phaser, but remembers he handed his over to Commander Chalen::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  What's the fastest way to the other airlock?
TO_Difore says:
::steps into the TL with a self-pitying sigh::
XO_Chalen says:
@::gives the borrowed sidearm back to the FCO::
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  don't shoot it at any airlock doors.   ::manages a small grin::
CO_Starks says:
SO: see if the tractor beam can clear some debris around the airlock
FCO_Khrex says:
@::takes the phaser from the XO::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  No telling sir...we can try through the air ducts.
eCTO_Gem says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. I will... modulate the phasers to a very low setting. That way.. they can do very little damage. I can get the metal out of the way.. and plant our nose in the ship's hole.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  I still can't get a transporter lock, but I'll keep trying::
SO_Raja says:
::watches as the ship gets closer as it is about to dock::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::keeps trying::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  It's always ducts.
FCO_Khrex says:
@::picks up the CMO::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes Sir-r-r
XO_Chalen says:
@CMO:  Can you make it Doctor?
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: When the doors get locked, the ducts become our friends.

FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: I got him sir.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@XO: I will try.
eCTO_Gem says:
::transfers some tactical operations to that console and modulates the phasers:: CO: Firing sir. ::makes a single shot::
CO_Starks says:
*SECURITY* Security teams to forward airlock
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Lead the way.  Any direction away from here is good.
SO_Raja says:
::activates the tractor beam and tries to 'repel' the stuff away form the path of the Pharaoh::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Waves off the FCO::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::puts down the CMO::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Wait sir.
TO_Difore says:
::sighs as she hears the comm::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Here's a hidden door!
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  What?
FCO_Khrex says:
@CMO: You sure? you don't look so good.
eCTO_Gem says:
::makes a second shot... which should blow away the metal piece::

ACTION: The EO vanishes.

XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Can you open it?
CSO_McGrady says:
@::Opens the door into the corridor out of engineering::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Good show!   Let's move!
eCMO_Stidd says:
@FCO: I am sure
TO_Difore says:
::heads towards the airlock very reluctantly::

ACTION: The AT suddenly notices a collection of beings standing in the hallway. An ominous red glow shines behind them, reducing their features to a collection of silhouettes with blazing yellow eyes.

CSO_McGrady says:
@::halts::
XO_Chalen says:
@::freezes and pulls phaser::
CO_Starks says:
*ENG* What's Mr. Mitciv's status?

DESCRIPTION: At the ends of their unusually long arms are what certainly look like long, jagged claws, with an unknown fluid dripping off the tips and hissing as they strike the floor.

FCO_Khrex says:
@ALL:: Uh... I think we opened the wrong door.
CSO_McGrady says:
@::pulls his phaser slowly::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   Back up!
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: With pleasure ::backs up slowly::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   Back into Engineering!   Seal the door!
eEO_Mitciv says:
<EO_Little> *CO* Captain... EO Mitciv is .... is GONE Sir !!

ACTION: The EO staggers back into the area from the direction of engineering, apparently hurt badly.

FCO_Khrex says:
@::reenters engineering with phaser drawn::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Staggers back a bit::
CSO_McGrady says:
::whispers:: @XO: Shall we try and make friends?
TO_Difore says:
::arrives at the door as ordered::
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  The hissing and claws say NO.
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: Agreed.

CO_Starks says:
CTO: make it fit Jennifer
eCTO_Gem says:
::slowly navigators the nose of the Pharaoh into the docking port:: CO: It's hard to believe we can get this big thing through that little hole.
XO_Chalen says:
::gets back inside engineering and tries to seal the door.
CSO_McGrady says:
@::assists the XO trying to seal the door::
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: But I'm sure the slimy mucus says 'We're best friends'.
eEO_Mitciv says:
@ ::looks around from side to side:: Self: Huh ??

DESCRIPTION: As the crew nears the EO, they notice something is amiss. He is much paler than before, and his head is tilted back and to one side, as if he doesn't quite have the strength to hold it up. His mouth hangs open, revealing a full set of yellowed, elongated teeth. The stench of decay and sulfur pours forth in waves.

CO_Starks says:
CTO: If anyone can cram big things into little openings on this ship it be you
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Commander... ::points to the EO::
XO_Chalen says:
@FCO:  What the.....
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: Didn't we leave the EO behind?

ACTION: The EO's head suddenly snaps upright. He smiles in a feral grin, and dashes madly for the XO.

eCTO_Gem says:
::frowns... worried she might be putting too much speed into it... slows the ship down... and docks:: CO: Done sir.
XO_Chalen says:
@::fires at the EO::
XO_Chalen says:
@::quick draw style::
eEO_Mitciv says:
@::runs towards the XO::

ACTION: The walking corpse that was the EO staggers a bit at the phaser blast.

CSO_McGrady says:
@::tackles the EO, after he catches the XO's fire::
CO_Starks says:
*TO*  We're secure open the airlock! we have to get the away team off that ship
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   Take it down!
eEO_Mitciv says:
@::continues to run towards the XO::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::dives at the EO and tries to knock the EO down::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: the bridge is yours

ACTION: The FCO tears off the EO's leg in the attempt.

CO_Starks says:
CTO/so: you two are with me!
XO_Chalen says:
@::gives a double fisted punch to the EO's head while the others try to tackle it.
eOPS_Verdi says:
CO:  Your not going over there?
CSO_McGrady says:
@::starts punching the EO in the face as the struggle continues::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Fires his phaser at the EO::
XO_Chalen says:
@SELF:   HOLY #*$&*!!
eCTO_Gem says:
::logs out of console... follows the CO::
SO_Raja says:
::Follows the CO as ordered::
CO_Starks says:
OPS: they aren't waiting for us, something happened
FCO_Khrex says:
@::holding the leg::
XO_Chalen says:
@::steps back::

ACTION: The EO finally falls, in pieces.
DESCRIPTION: The broken corpse of the EO lies very still, gurgling softly from the damage, yet still smiling. His eyes roll up, then to one side, as if looking at the corridor.

CO_Starks says:
:: leaves bridge for forward airlock::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Everyone stay back!
FCO_Khrex says:
@XO: OK... I know I'm not THAT strong.
eOPS_Verdi says:
::shakes her head as the CO leaves::
CO_Starks says:
:: taps combadge::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO:  They'll let anyone out of the Academy these days.
XO_Chalen says:
@::sets his phaser to disintegrate::
XO_Chalen says:
@::fires at the body::
CO_Starks says:
*XO* we're at the port airlock!
FCO_Khrex says:
@::throws the leg onto the corpse::

ACTION: The body bursts into flame....

DESCRIPTION: A fiery red glow emanates from the quantum reactor, along with a radiating heat and smell of sulfur and brimstone. Long shards of ice cover everything in engineering, including the reactor. A low rumbling sound is also coming out of the reactor, slowly building in intensity.

XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.  Be aware, hostiles on board.   Watch out for the hissing ones.   By the way, are you missing an EO?
eOPS_Verdi says:
::considers undocking the Pharaoh and making a run for it::
CO_Starks says:
:*XO* roger!
CO_Starks says:
:: sees TO at pharaoh airlock::
CO_Starks says:
TO: open the airlock we're going in
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  That's bad right!?    ::points to reactor::
CO_Starks says:
::pulls phaser from holster ::

ACTION: The airlock opens without incident.

eCTO_Gem says:
::takes out phaser::
eOPS_Verdi says:
::decides against it, but gets ready for a quick exit just in case::
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: That is definitely bad.
FCO_Khrex says:
@ALL: I believe it's getting louder.
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:  Everyone set phaser to disintegrate, we'll only have a few shots at that power level, but I think we'll need it.
SO_Raja says:
::Stands and watches the airlock open::
CO_Starks says:
:: enters alien vessel slowly with phaser at ready ::

ACTION: With a final loud, ship-shaking burst of noise that knocks everyone to the feet, the rumbling stops. The red glow of the reactor darkens, and the room dims.

CSO_McGrady says:
@::falls down::
SO_Raja says:
::Follows the CO and CTO into the other ship::
eCTO_Gem says:
::sets phaser to KILL::
TO_Difore says:
::follows the CO::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Resets phaser::
CO_Starks says:
:: almost looses footing when ship lurches ::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::readjusts phaser to maximum::
XO_Chalen says:
@*CO*  Sir, We need an engineering team in the reactor room!   This thing has got to be shut down NOW!
CO_Starks says:
CTO: the airlock seal won't hold if the ship lurches that that again
CSO_McGrady says:
@::shakes his head and notices the reactor dimming::

ACTION: A single claw, larger than any of the crew has ever seen, slowly starts to emerge from the center of the glowing reactor. Gradually, a full foot of its serrated length becomes visible, then another claw starts the journey out.

CO_Starks says:
ALL: follow me!
CO_Starks says:
:: runs towards to the XO's signal::
TO_Difore says:
::is shaking from head to toe::
CSO_McGrady says:
@AT: My God!
FCO_Khrex says:
@::on the ground and gets up, dusting himself off::
eCTO_Gem says:
CO: Let's hope it doesn't. ::follows the CO::
XO_Chalen says:
@ALL:   The door THE DOOR!   GO! GO! GO!
XO_Chalen says:
@::unseals the door::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to follow the CO, hoping he knows what he is doing::
TO_Difore says:
::hopes she doesn't shoot the CO in the back::
FCO_Khrex says:
@::helps unseal the door::
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Hurries for the door::

ACTION: One hard push, and the giant scaled hand emerges abruptly from the core, all six of it's one-meter long talons stretching out.

XO_Chalen says:
@::unseals the door with the FCO's help and runs into the hallway::
CO_Starks says:
:: sees the XO come out of a door ::
CSO_McGrady says:
@::follows the AT out, phaser in hand::
CO_Starks says:
XO: Commander!
XO_Chalen says:
@*CO*  Sir we have one Hell demon, I repeat, One Hell Demon coming out of the reactor.
eCMO_Stidd says:
@::Enters the hallway::

FCO_Khrex says:
@::closes the door::
eCTO_Gem says:
::sees the XO::
XO_Chalen says:

CO: Aye sir. Entering new heading bearing 180 mark 0.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Prepare for maximum warp!
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Distance is now 5000 km.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  WE could fire a torp spread just before a warp jump!
CO_Starks says:
CTO: launch a warning buoy!
SO_Raja says:
CSO: What happened over-r-r ther-r-re?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: That's affirmative, sir....we must leave the vessel, her engine runs on infinite energy, and destroying that would be bad for the universe.

CO:  So we just leave it?
eCTO_Gem says:
::still happy that she had a chance to pilot correctly this time:: Self: Take that Instructor Lee.
CO_Starks says:
CTO: better launch 6 warning buoys, include our scan of their reactor

CSO_McGrady says:
