The QIb Chronicles
<<<<<<<<Begin Travesty of a Mission>>>>>>>>>
CMO_Kymar says:
%::stares into the glowing stones some more, waiting for something to appear out of thin air and save them::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Brings the shuttle to full stop, awaiting arrival of the QIb.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO_Ram*: Mr. Ram, is the Odin ready?
Gibbon says:
@Korvak: One more prod should do it, Ensign.
EO_Ram says:
*CO*: Aye sir, we just finished uploading Mr. Walker's instructions. It's ready for launch.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::While awaiting arrival of the QIb, he launches the rest of the probes onboard, their programming taking them one after the other to the extent of their sensor ranges.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
*EO_Ram*: Launch when ready Mr. Ram
CMO_Kymar says:
%::looks down at S'lav and lets out a sigh:: All: Help is on its way...
EO_Ram says:
::Remotes launches the shuttle Odin on a course to the stone circle on the planet surface::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Continues his analysis of the beam, and its heading::
S’lav says:
%::Groans slightly, and flickers his outer eyelids::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::kneels down next to S'lav and wipes a damp bandage-come-cloth over his forehead:: S'lav: Rest, ensign. You need to rest...
S’lav says:
%CMO: W...who?

ACTION: Cut to the Odin, landing in the circle

CMO_Kymar says:
%S'lav: I am a doctor, you are safe. Just close your eyes and rest, you will be fine
S’lav says:
%CMO: w...where?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: As soon as the Odin is landed activate the beam.

ACTION: More squawking from outside the cave indicates that the bird(s) intend to get the doctor, whether he thinks so or not.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::doesn't want to break his hopes:: S'lav We are in a safe place where nothing can get us, we will be even safer in a short while. Do not worry
S’lav says:
%CMO: s...ship?
EO_Korvak says:
@COMM: *CO*: Aye sir, activating now. ::wiggles the little probe thing in the box to activate the beam::
CMO_Kymar says:
%S'lav: No, on a planet. A safe place on a planet.

ACTION: The cave Korvak & co are in shakes, and quivers, and the lights on the devices flicker slightly. Outside, the stone circle groans and creaks.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Completes his preliminary analysis.::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Stelakh to QIb.

ACTION: The lights on the devices flicker some more, glow stronger, and the beam is emitted, taking the shuttle... somewhere. A large crack starts to run down from the top of the damaged stone.

OPS says:
CO: Sir, I have contacted the Corona Borealis and they will meet us at Mr. Stelakh's coordinates.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Q'tor here. Go ahead Mr. Stelakh.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Reads another incoming beam, and adjusts the probes to move out of its path.::

ACTION: The beam whips past the probes and shuttle without incident.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::sighs and daps the damp cloth over S'lav's forehead again before standing up::

ACTION: A weird sound, followed by a lot of squawking, enters the cave the Doctor and his team are in.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain, my preliminary analysis of the beam is complete, and I note a slight degradation.  If my analysis is correct, it is capable of reaching the Galactic Rim.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: Prepare everyone there for immediate transport back to the ship.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::draws his phaser pistol and spins, walking towards the cave exit:: Bird: Thats IT! I can't take your damn squawking ANY MORE!
EO_Korvak says:
@COMM: *CO*: Aye sir

ACTION: The squawking stops

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Further, I am attempting to ascertain shield harmonics and configurations which may assist us in traveling with the beam itself.

ACTION: The welcome sight of the shuttlecraft Odin and a large number of feathers emerging from under one nacelle confront the doctor.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::blinks and laughs aloud:: All: Come look! A bird just got crushed by that shuttlecraft! .....A shuttle!
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Understood Mr. Stelakh.
S’lav says:
%::groans, and tries to get to his feet::
Tanaka and Stabitt says:
%::run out to see the shuttle::
CMO_Kymar says:
%Stabitt: Get S'lav, I'll check the shuttle

Stabitt says:
%::nods, and runs back to get S'lav::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: Korvak, is there a chance of activating the beam one more time?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::walks out towards the shuttle, searching everywhere and keeping his phaser pistol ready::

ACTION: A loud squawking comes again, this time from the forest

EO_Korvak says:
@COMM: *CO*: Unknown Captain. We can try.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::peers towards the forest and grins evilly, tapping the door console and stepping inside as it opens:: Tanaka: Check the shuttle is working, where we are, and if we can get a communication open with the IKS QIb
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Aye, Doctor. ::runs over to the shuttle, and clambers inside::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Continues his attempts to find the right configuration and harmonics which would allow a ship to "ride" the beam::
Stabitt says:
%::emerges from the cave, half-carrying S'lav::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Transport all personnel on the surface back to the ship. Leave Korvak's team for the moment.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::watches Stabitt jog towards the shuttle and keeps his phaser ready, in case something attacks them while they get here::

   ACTION: The miscellaneous crew are beamed back aboard

ACTION: More squawking heralds a flock of giant birds flying out of the forest

CMO_Kymar says:
%::leaps out of the shuttle and fires off a few shots into the flock, heading for S'lav and Stabitt::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Captain Q'tor.  Sensors indicate data contained within the beam, but no matter stream.  This may be a more distinct form of Transporter than we have hitherto encountered.

ACTION: A couple of birds are hit, and spiral back into the treetops. The rest change course, and head for Stabitt and S'lav

CMO_Kymar says:
%Self: Those damn birds, they ain’t gonna get no-one...::taps his comm badge:: *Tanaka*: Get those phasers online!
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: CIV: Mr. Stelakh, if we are able to activate the beam once more, and "ride" it to it's destination, how would we "ride" it back? I will not leave any crew behind.
Stabitt says:
% ::screams in terror::
Tanaka says:
%*CMO* er. Phasers. Phasers. Aye, sir... erm.. phasers ::looks around the control panel::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::reaches Stabitt and S'lav, standing between them and the birds defiantly:: Birds: Come then...come to your doom ::levels his phaser at the lead creature and starts firing::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Therein lies a flaw, Captain.  Without being able to ascertain where we would ride the beam to, I am unable to say how we would return, if not under our own power.  It would take three months at maximum warp to return.

ACTION: The birds head en mass towards their targets

CMO_Kymar says:
%Stabitt: RUN! I'll hold them off! ::runs towards the birds firing, trying to draw their attention:: Birds: OVER HERE!

ACTION: A phaser shot from the shuttle goes way off course and takes out a chunk of earth next to the doctor

Tanaka says:
%*CMO* Sorry!
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Understood. Standby.

ACTION: The chunk of earth threatens nobody ever again, but the birds continue onwards. One reaches Stabitt and knocks him over.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Continues running computer models on the beam and shields.::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::runs for the bird that knocked over Stabitt and leaps at it, trying to do a running dive tackle thing::
S’lav says:
%::hits the ground hard, and starts dragging himself towards the shuttle::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: Korvak it looks as though our best chance is going to be for the Doctor to get the instructions and try to return via the beam.

ACTION: The doctor succeeds in grabbing the leg of the bird, which heads upwards with him clinging on

Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: Assuming of course that the shuttle even reached the Doctor's location.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::"hehehe, got yourself into a tight one this time:: Self: Crap ::jams his phaser against the birds groin and fires off a shot::

ACTION: The bird turns into so much KFC and spirals towards the ground, the doctor still clinging on

CMO_Kymar says:
%::jumps off just before the bird hits the ground and dunks into a roll, ending up flat on his back instead of on his feet stylishly::

ACTION: S'lav makes it into the shuttle, while a number of birds start taking bites out of Stabitt.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain Q'tor, I am receiving a highly-degraded and very weak signal.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::jumps up and charges for Stabitt, firing a shot at the closest bird:: *Tanaka*: Need help, fast!

ACTION: The Doctor's phaser fails.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Attempting to boost reception.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: What type of signal?

ACTION: Pieces of Stabit fly merrily around the clearing

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  It is a beacon.  At this time, I am unable to ascertain its content, and am attempting to locate its source.

ACTION: Four more birds surround the doctor, and their heads rear back to strike.

ACTION: They headbutt each other as the doctor dematerializes.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::"And so we die brother...":: Self: Not righ..::gets dematerialized::
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Sorry it too me so long, sir.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::rematerializes:: Self...t now, I dont...Oh...::turns to Tanaka:: Tanaka: Where is S'lav?
S’lav says:
%::Groans from the shuttle floor::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::kneels down and helps S'lav up:: Tanaka: Lift off, there is nothing we can do for Stabitt...::looks down slightly::...I'm going to take S'lav to a bunk, and see what I can do with the medical facilities here
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain Q'Tor, I have completed my modeling of the shield adjustments necessary to, in essence, surf the beam.  However, I cannot apply them to the QIb.  I am willing, however, to attempt such a scenario with this shuttle.

ACTION: Stabbitt's torso lands on the shuttle windscreen

ACTION: The birds head for the remainder of their feast

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  The beacon contains a Starfleet signature, matching that of the Odin.  Its origination point is distant one month at maximum warp.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Er, doctor... they're coming.... ::points out of the windscreen at the approaching flock::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::lays S'lav down and sits in the chair, a look of grim determination on his face:: Tanaka: Ready phasers...
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: We will give the Doctor some time to follow his instructions Mr. Stelakh. I'm not willing just yet to risk any more crew.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: I'll try, sir... I'm still not sure how this works, I'm a science technician.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  With respect, Captain, we are unaware of how much time, if any, the Doctor has.  I am reasonably certain of my calculations, or I would not have suggested it.

ACTION: As Tanaka hits a button to activate the phasers, the lights go out inside.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::begins to target the birds:: Tanaka: Just give them all the power we go...:;watches lights go out::...ok, power to the lights
Tanaka says:
%Self: oops.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Phasers are powered and at your control. I think.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Raises shields with their new configuration and harmonics, and maneuvers the shuttle back into the heading of the beam::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::nods and targets the closest bird, setting the phasers to full power and hovers his finger over the fire button:: Bird: This one's for Stabitt...::presses it::

ACTION: The feathers fly.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Deploy a beacon for the Odin to home in on Mr. Stelakh.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  I am in position and new shield configurations are initiated and powered, Captain.  Awaiting your approval.  ::Reaches over and launches the beacon, as ordered, sending it to the edge of the furthest probe's sensor range::  Beacon away.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: If you "ride" this beam Mr. Stelakh, then how will you return any faster than the Odin?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::keeps firing at the birds:: Tanaka: Feel free to lift off any time...you can fly a shuttle, right?
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Fly, yes. Just don't expect me to go anywhere more accurate than "up".
CMO_Kymar says:
%Tanaka: Then take us up
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  It will take as long, Captain.  However, the crew may require immediate assistance, and an experienced Tactical officer.

ACTION: The shuttle lifts off, thrusters creating a pile of roasted birds fit to feed a small planet.

CMO_Kymar says:
%::watches the birds get fried:: Tanaka: Too bad we no longer need the food....
S’lav says:
%::Groans::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::As the beacon reaches its destination, he sends out a signal through it, aimed at the destination of the incoming beacon signal::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: very well Mr. Stelakh. However, make sure you have enough supplies to last for 30 days.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::remembers S'lav and gets up, walking over to the bunks:: S'lav: It's going to be alright. We have you in a shuttle, and are taking you to be treated...just hang in there
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *Odin*:  Stelakh to Odin.  Repeat, Stelakh to Odin.  Do you read?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: If you do not then get them from the Corona when it arrives at your location.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: I'm picking up a faint subspace beacon, sir.... signature is that of the I.K.S. QIb. Isn't that your ship?
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Understood, Captain.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles:: Tanaka: That’s my ship....can you get a hail to them?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *Korvak*: Korvak, be ready to activate the beam on my command.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: At this distance, we won't get a reply for a few minutes, sir.
EO_Korvak says:
@COMM: *CO*: Ready for your order HoDwI.
CMO_Kymar says:
%Tanaka: It’s alright, a few minutes is fine. Open a channel. ::stands up::
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Channel open.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Mr. Stelakh, as soon as you inform us that you are ready the beam will be activated.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Receives a hail from the Odin, and boosts the communications gain to maximum::
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: IKS QIb: This is Doctor Kymar Dremel, calling the QIb. We got your shuttle, and are en route to your position. I have two of the three ensigns from the Corona, but...we lost Stabitt.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  I have received a hail from the Odin, and am sending a reply requesting status, Captain.

ACTION: Unexpectedly, communications start to speed up, with only 30 seconds or so between replies

Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *Odin*:  Stelakh to Odin.  Your hail has been received.  Advise as to your status.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Routing communications to your position.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: majQa'
CMO_Kymar says:
%::cant help but grin:: COM: t'oQ: *CIV*: Stelakh? Is that you? I am well, as is Tanaka. But S'lav is critically wounded and requires immediate medical attention
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Arches a brow, then scans along the beam path for the Odin::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *QIb*:  Captain, communications from the Odin are coming in more rapidly than distance would dictate.  I am at a loss as to explain the phenomenon.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::sits back down in his seat and sets a course for the t'oQ:: Tanaka: You did well with the transporters...thank you.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Fires up the shuttle's engines and brings them ready to jump to warp::
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Thank you, sir, for getting us out of there.
S’lav says:
% ::groans::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Stand by Mr. Stelakh.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::smiles:: Tanaka: I did nothing, so no need to thank me. I...should go check on S'lav and see what I can do with the med kit
Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Contact the Corona. I want them to return here and pick up Korvak and the rest of the engineers.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  The beam appears to have caused disruptions in both real and subspace, Captain.  The path is acting as a carrier for the signals.  It may be possible to travel along the path a greater distance than in normal space.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::  Scans for areas of folded space::
SO_Scannitt says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up strange emissions from the stone circle... it's much like a phaser overload, but on a bigger scale.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Set a course for the to'Q
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *Odin*:  Stelakh to Odin.  What is the condition of the Odin, Doctor?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: belay that order. Transport them all up now.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: As soon as they are all aboard I want maximum warp to the to'Q's position.

ACTION: The remainder of the away team are beamed aboard covered in a thin layer of dust, Korvak and Gibbon clutching onto the two devices from the surface.

CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: *CIV*: The shuttle is fine, its the people who need help. As soon as you can would be...nice
SO Scannitt says:
CO: Sir, the entire circle just exploded... there’s a crater, about a mile across, where it once stood. The cave complex was wiped out completely.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain, request permission to initiate maximum warp to the Odin's position.
FCO says:
CO: Course laid in sir, engaging warp drive...now.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
SO: Understood.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Stand by Mr. Stelakh. The QIb is faster and we are on our way.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM: *Odin*:  You are a great distance from my current position, Doctor.  Recommend you treat your survivors to the best of your abilities.  The QIb is en route.
S’lav says:
%::coughs up some green vomit::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: ETA To the to'Q's position?
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Prepares emergency docking procedures, for the QIb's imminent arrival.::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::kneels down next to S'lav and wipes the vomit away from his mouth:: S'lav: Stay alive a little longer...::grabs his kit and searches through the drugs before injecting S'lav with a few::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Lowers shields so that the QIb can easily snatch the shuttle with a tractor beam as it passes, if necessary.::
Civ_Stelakh says:
&COMM:  *QIb*:  Captain, I am prepared for emergency docking procedures.  However, I have also lowered shields so that the QIb may take the shuttle in a tractor beam as it passes.  Please advise your intent.
FCO says:
CO: two minutes sir
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Slow to impulse upon arrival.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: As soon as we leave warp speed lock a tractor beam onto the to'Q and bring it on board.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Scans the area of the anomoly for any signs of equipment or metals.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: As soon as the to'Q is on board maintain this course and engage maximum warp drive once again.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: *CIV*: Mr. Stelakh, prepare to hold on tight. We will be grabbing you on the move.

ACTION: The to'Q is tractored aboard as the QIb leaves warp.

Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Grabs hold of the console to steady himself::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Set a course for the Odin, engage at maximum warp.
Civ_Stelakh says:
&::Once the shuttle is docked and he has confirmation that there is an atmosphere in the shuttlebay, he disembarks the shuttle and makes his way immediately to the bridge::

ACTION: The QIb warps off along the course of the beam, plodding along at its usual speed.

Civ_Stelakh says:
::Steps onto the bridge and quickly to the Science console::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Welcome back Mr. Stelakh
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Downloads the shuttle's sensor information to the main computer::
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, it may be possible to establish an artificial micro-wormhole which would bring the Odin back within a matter of seconds.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I'm listening Mr. Stelakh.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  It is mainly theory, although it has been applied, so far as I know, once before.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  There is also another method, but it would mean the loss of the shuttle itself.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Energy can safely move along the path of the beam, but physical object cannot.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  It may be possible to beam the survivors back to the Odin, using the path of the beam as a conduit.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: If there is a way to get the Doctor and the other's back faster then by all means lets try it Mr. Stelakh. I don't believe there are 30 days worth of supplies on board.
Civ_Stelakh says:
COMM: *Odin*:  Stelakh to Doctor Kymar.  Please prepare to test-beam an object to the QIb.

ACTION: The universe goes on with its business

CMO_Kymar says:
%::puts their shuttle into orbit of the planet and checks the position of Stelakh's shuttle:: Tanaka: I told you we would make it...
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Yes... but how far away are we from...er.. ::looks around at the strange area of space:: well, anywhere?
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: Beam? You do realize that we are in a shuttle?
Civ_Stelakh says:
COM: *Odin*:  Perhaps I did not make myself clear, Doctor.  We may have limited time.  Prepare to beam a test object to the QIb.
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: You are still not making it clear...but fine, whatever. ::targets one of the shuttle's empty cargo containers, and then the QIb which is a billion hojillion miles away and energizes::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*Transporter Room*:  Transporter Chief, have we received an incoming object?

ACTION: The cargo container materializes aboard the QIb as if only transported over a few hundred meters.

CMO_Kymar says:
%:;blinks as the container registers as gone:: COMM: *QIb*: Erm...where did it go?
Chief_Sen’ditt says:
*CIV* We've just received a cargo container, registered to the shuttlecraft Odin, sir.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::waiting anxiously to see if Stelakh's idea will work::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*Odin*:  Transport successful, Doctor.
Civ_Stelakh says:
COMM: *Odin*:  Send another test object, Doctor.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain?
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::hears Stelakh's cooment:: CIV: Does that mean we can beam them to the QIb?
CMO_Kymar says:
%::turns and smiles at Tanaka:: Tanaka: I told you.... COM: QIb: Another test? very well...::targets another container and beams it to the QIb::
Chief_Sen-ditt says:
*CIV* Another container, sir, in perfect condition.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  It is highly possible, Captain.  The beam has left some form of conduit, through which energy may travel great distance in short order.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  On your order, I believe it may be safe to transport the crew.
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  We may not have much time.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Have him transport something biological
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: I'm going to beam S'lav directly to Sickbay, he is critically wounded. Can you notify Dr Jones down there to accept an incoming patient with critical organ trauma?
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Sir, I'm getting strange readings from the planet surface... from the stone circle.
CMO_Kymar says:
%Tanaka: What kind of readings? You're a scientist...
Civ_Stelakh says:
COMM: *Odin*:  The transporter should be tested with a biological life form first, Doctor.
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: We only have ourselves, you didn’t pack anything organic here...unless there is some food, perhaps?
Tanaka says:
%Scanning... er.. immense energy surge... oh no.... ::goes pale::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::turns in his chair:: Tanaka: Oh no?
Civ_Stelakh says:
*TR 1*:  Chief, transport medical supplies, equipment, and foodstuffs to the Odin, it may be a month before they are able to return, and we are unable to ascertain how long this conduit will last.
Tanaka says:
%CMO: There was an explosion.. it took out an area about a mile across, the circle is gone, the caves are gone... there’s just a giant crater.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::blinks:: Tanaka: At least those birds wont bother anyone again...
Tanaka says:
%::scanning::.. CMO: There’s a few thousand of them in the forest still.
TC_Personage says:
::Grumbles::  What am I, a waiter?  ::Goes to the supplies stores::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::sighs:: Tanaka: You win some, you lose some. Come on, find something organic in the cargobay we can test the transporters with
TC_Personage says:
::Has a second thought, and goes back to the transporter console, beaming supplies directly from the cargo bay to the Odin::
Tanaka says:
%CMO: I can't think of anything we'd be carrying, but I'll see what we have ::gets up and roots around in the overhead compartments::
CMO_Kymar says:
%:;can't help but grin as he receives supplies in the cargobay:: Tanaka: At least we have some supplies if we need to make it back using warp
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Sir, this ration pack contains organic material, it's a starfleet-issue one not a replicated one. ::points to the pack that just arrived on the transporter pad::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*TR 1*:  And now, chief, beam a biological life form, a plant preferably, to the Odin.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::targets the rations and beams them over to the QIb:: COM: QIb: You get that, QIb?
TC_Personage says:
::Beams a plant out of the CTO's quarters to the Odin::
CMO_Kymar says:
%::blinks once again as a plant appears on the transporter pad::
Tanaka says:
%::smiles at the plant and puts it safely on a console::
Civ_Stelakh says:
COMM: *CMO*:  Doctor, have you received a plant?
CMO_Kymar says:
%Tanaka: You can keep that, think of it as a reminder ::grins::
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: Aye, we got it. I'm beaming S'lav directly to sickbay now
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  If the doctor received the biological life form, I believe it possible to beam other organic life.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Do it now!

ACTION: S'lav dematerializes, and appears on a biobed in sickbay.

Civ_Stelakh says:
COMM:  *CMO*:  Doctor Kymar, program the Shuttle to return to Starbase 487 and immediately beam yourself and the other survivors to the QIb.
Dr. Jones says:
::notices the ensign beamed to sickbay and quickly get to work, sedating him and beginning the work on repairing the organ tissue::
CMO_Kymar says:
%COM: QIb: Acknowledged, we'll be with you in a moment
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: As soon as the Doctor and everyone else is on board alter course for Star base 487 and reduce speed to warp factor 5.
CMO_Kymar says:
%::programs the shuttle and motions Tanaka to the transporter pad:: Tanaka: You go first, I'll beam you over and them myself
Tanaka says:
%CMO: Sir.. just make it across, okay? ::steps onto the pad, plant in hand::
CMO_Kymar says:
%Tanaka: I'll try. ::taps the button and energizes, smiling as she dematerializes:: See you on the other side

ACTION: Tanaka and the plant dematerialize, and reappear in TR1 on the QIb, surprisingly separate in their own forms and not combined from a weird transporter accident

CMO_Kymar says:
%::programs the transporter to go off after 5 seconds and quickly dashes to the pad, picking up his med kit before he goes::
Tanaka says:
::steps down off the pad and waits for the doctor::

ACTION: Kymar dematerialises.

ACTION: something weird with arms and legs in the wrong places starts to materialize on the QIb.

Chief_Sen’ditt says:
::starts boosting power, throwing virtual levers seemingly randomly::

ACTION: The form disappears, to be replaced by Kymar.

CMO_Kymar says:
::checks to see if all of his parts are still there and lets out a sigh of relief. "Still your same old self, Brother. Don’t get so emotional"::
Chief_Sen’ditt says:
::takes a close look to make sure he really is supposed to look like that, before letting the materialization complete::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Do we have everyone aboard yet?
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  I believe so, Captain.
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps down off the pad and smiles to Tanaka:: Tanaka: I told you we would get back, even if it happened a lot later than I expected
Tanaka says:
::hugs Kymar happily::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Reduce speed to warp 5, set a course to Star Base 487
L_Walker says:
CO: Q'tor, shouldn't we be more worried about that shuttle? It could violate the prime directive on it's voyage home by entering a pre-warp solar system. As understand it, you're not allowed to let that happen, so shouldn't we.. I don't know.. blow it up? ::looks at Stelakh and almost wants to stick his tongue out at him::
CMO_Kymar says:
::a little surprised by the hug, but hugs back none-the-less:: Tanaka: I should save beautiful young women more often
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Looks up slightly, as most do when talking over the comm system::
Civ_Stelakh says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, recommend you report to Sickbay, as a patient.
CO_Q`tor says:
*CMO*: Welcome back doctor. I am looking forward to your report.
Tanaka says:
::grins:: CMO: I should be getting back to the Corona, they'll want me to make a report.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Somehow, he almost appears satisfied at suggesting the doctor be a patient in his own sickbay. Almost, but not quite.  He is, after all, a Vulcan.::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::hears Walker's comment and thinks about it for a moment::
CMO_Kymar says:
Tanaka: Well, remember to tell them about everyone you done. They will be impressed :;grins::

ACTION: The blinky comms light comes on at OPS

Host CO_Q`tor says:
Walker: You're right Mr. Walker. Do you ever get tired of that? ::grins::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CO*: I look forward to giving it, I think...
Civ_Stelakh says:
::In lieu of anyone else doing it, he reaches down and presses the blinky, bloopy lighty thing::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Send a self-destruct signal to the Odin Mr. Stelakh. Let's not take any chances.
L_Walker says:
Q'tor: Well you see... ::pauses:: .. it's just so hard to stop.
CMO_Kymar says:
*CIV*: I will get to sickbay ASAP, Mr. Stelakh

ACTION: Commander Naumova of the Corona Borealis appears onscreen

Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  Commander Naumova sending an incoming message, Captain.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Sends a signal to destroy the shuttle::

ACTION: the shuttle responds affirmative, and ceases transmission

CMO_Kymar says:
Tanaka: Go check yourself with the Corona CMO. Always good to be safe
Host CO_Q`tor says:
::looks up to the view screen:: COMM: *Corona*: How may I help you Commander?
Civ_Stelakh says:
CO:  Transmissions from the Odin have ceased.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Very well
Tanaka says:
::nods to Kymar:: CMO: Thank you again, Doctor. 
CDR_Naumova says:
COMM: QIb: Captain, is there any progress on recovering our missing crewmembers?
CMO_Kymar says:
::nods back:: Tanaka: Stay safe ::walks out of the door and into a TL, making it head for the bridge::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Corona: I am pleased to report, Commander, that your personnel are currently in my sickbay receiving medical attention.
CDR_Naumova says:
COMM: QIb: My thanks, Captain. We've just had orders to return to Starbase 487 to make a full report, so I'd appreciate getting them back aboard as soon as possible.
L_Walker says:
::As suddenly as he appeared, disappears from the QIb Bridge via the aft doors and down the stair to deck two.. to do what? nobody knows..::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Corona: We have set a course for Star Base 487, so we will meet you there Commander.
CDR_Naumova says:
COMM: QIb: That is acceptable, Captain. Perhaps we'll have time to discuss things before I get called in to make my report.
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps out of the TL and smiles to himself, glad to be back onboard a ship without birds::
Host CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Corona: ::bows his head slightly:: At your leisure Commander. Q'tor out.

ACTION: The viewscreen goes blank.

Host Matt the Narrator says:
And with that, the QIb heads back towards the Starbase, carrying with it the two Corona Borealis away team members, and two strange pieces of alien technology.
Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Take us home.
Civ_Stelakh says:
::Seats himself at the science console, and begins pouring over his scans.::
L_Walker says:
::goes to the galley on deck 3.. Just because people rarely go there::

ACTION: The QIb goes to warp, and a flash of light marks the spot it was standing a second ago.
