:: sees the CSO arrive and grins :: CSO:  I think you guys were there longer than five minutes.

FCO_Braun says:
CSO, OPS:  What did you see...?

OPSFowler says:
FCO: Should have been there, Jakob. You know how time flies when you're having fun.

Host CO_Krust says:
:: enters bridge::

Lizzy says:
Computer: Run simulation using a turecen castifier to the DNA structuring ::

CMO_Lee says:
@XO/CTO: You got him.

TAC_Tamek says:
COM: CO: Sir, where do you need me to go now?

CSO_Fist says:
FCO: It was horrid.

FCO_Braun says:
:: stands as captain arrives ::

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Report! Do we have them!

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  Captain, we got them.. the whole team...

Host Steve_ says:
ACTION:  THE DIM LIGHTING IN THE CORRIDOR SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS.....THE RED EMERGENCY LIGHTS WINKING ON

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Sir, we must destroy it.

CTO_Terr says:
@XO: This is it, sir!!

TAC_Tamek says:
::runs to TL::  TL: Bridge.

OPSFowler says:
CO: Sir, just before beam out we saw a hand come through the door.

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::blinks rapidly to adjust eyes to new lighting::

Host Steve_ says:
@  <CEO>  They cut the power!

CMO_Lee says:
@::prepares for an attack::

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: No! you are a scientist, mister!

Host XO_Krieg says:
@CTO: Assessment.

CTO_Terr says:
@ALL: Get down, find a safe spot and wait till you can get a clear shot.  We don't know how many there are and we don't have many power packs.

Host CO_Krust says:
:: speaks softer::

TAC_Tamek says:
::arrives on bridge::

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Sir, it is crawling with those mutants.

CNS_Aeryn says:
@:: regains sight, and looks around with trepidation::

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but if there is an unknown biological contagion... well, a quarantine would be in order...

Lizzy says:
Computer: Structure unaffected? 

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::hunkers down and scans area with eyes::

CSO_Fist says:
CO: You should have seen the bones!

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: Prepare a warning bouy and launch now!

CTO_Terr says:
@XO: We can't keep killing every puppy we meet, so lets sit this one here, let them come to us.  Fight on our terms, not get hunted.

Lizzy says:
<Computer> Affirmative.

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Agreed, Jakob. 

CMO_Lee says:
@::moves to the left side of the corridor and waits::

OPSFowler says:
CO: Sir, the one crew member we found was partally eaten.

Host XO_Krieg says:
@::tricorder begins to emit a steady beep:: All: We've got motion!

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Aye.  ::moves to station and launches a warning buoy::

Host CO_Krust says:
All: But we need a fail safe.

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::wheels around, phaser ready::

Lizzy says:
Computer: Introduce a silicon muracidic solution to the DNA and run simulation.

CTO_Terr says:
@All: If it moves and it aint you, me, or him, kill it!

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  Should we access the Diatic's logs or manifest... maybe they were at the research colony we just came from.

CSO_Fist says:
::settling down and regaining composure::

OPSFowler says:
CO: Permission to download the tricorder for Dr. Patrick to examine.

Host XO_Krieg says:
@All: Watch your firing arcs, people.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Sir, I managed to read the captain's last log.

Host CO_Krust says:
TO: Can you rig torpedoes to attach to its hull and detonate if any vessel enters the probes warning radius?

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::is on one knee, pivoting, keeping phaser towards hallway::

TAC_Tamek says:
CO: Aye sir, working...

Host XO_Krieg says:
@All: Motion from that direction.:: gestures toward the location from which the puppy came:: 10 meters!

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Prepare to return to the planet.

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::prepares to fire::

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  Aye, sir. ::returns to helm ::

CTO_Terr says:
@All: Hold your fire until it is right on top of us.  I shot it at LR to no effect.

FCO_Braun says:
:: plots course back to LM-624 :

CTO_Terr says:
@::waits, phaser aimed right at the movement::

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  Course plotted and ready.

TAC_Tamek says:
CO: Sir, torpedoes ready.

CMO_Lee says:
@::waits in silence, rifle ready::

Host XO_Krieg says:
@All: Prepare to pull back on my order.

CTO_Terr says:
@All: Steady!!!

CTO_Terr says:
@::looks at approaching form::

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: What did it say?

Host Steve_ says:
ACTION:  THE CORRIDOR IS EMPTY

CTO_Terr says:
@XO: Fire down the hallway, sweep the beam!!!

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::wants to ignore XO:: XO: Aye.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Sir, according to the captain's last log entry, the Diatic's last stop was at LM-624

CTO_Terr says:
@::opens fire, in case the creature is cloaked::

Host CO_Krust says:
TO: Inform helm when the mines are ready, Tamek.

Host Steve_ says:
ACTION:  THE FLOOR GRATE BEHIND THE XO SNAPS FREE AND TWO SCALY HANDS REACH OUT AND GRAB THE XO'S ANKLES, PULLING HIM DOWN HALFWAY

CO: Aye, sir, they are ready.

CNS_Aeryn says:
@::gets trigger happy and fires too::

CTO_Terr says:
@::bolts for the XO::

Lizzy_ says:

Lizzy_ says:
:: BINGO! ::

CTO_Terr says:
@XO: Magnus, hang on.
