The QIb Chronicles
<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Keys in scanning sequences at the TAC console, scanning the Orion vessel.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the lift, moving over to take her station ::
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Orion ship: This is not a helpless freighter that you are dealing with. I will give you this one warning to stand down.
XO_Horn says:
::looks up to see the CTO arrive on the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
::sets the dermal regenerator for removing scar tissue with his nail, and waits for the Commander to give the all clear::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Shields online.  Weapons locked.
Aide_T`Zal says:
@::in the Vulcan shuttle T'Lar, on interception course with the QIb:: COM: QIb: This is the shuttle T'Lar, ETA three standard minutes. Requesting permission to dock.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: Go ahead Doc, I'm ready.
CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and smiles, lowering the regenerator an inch above Lorenzo's head before activating it and slowly running it over the scars:: CSO: How does your leg feel now, Commander? It should be ready to walk on in a few minutes. Just go easy for a few days while your bones heal.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: CDR Ravenprowler reporting.
OPS_Urgle says:
COM: T'Lar: Please hold position at a safe distance... we're facing a possibly hostile vessel and are unable to protect you at this time.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: It does feel better, not as heavy as it used to.
Aide_T`Zal says:
@COM: QIb: Acknowledged. Standing by. 
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::eyes the dermal regenerator as best she can::
XO_Horn says:
CO: Sir, with the CTO back on the bridge, permission to have Stelakh cover Science until the CSO is released from sickbay?
CMO_Kymar says:
::smiles more and nods, moving the regenerator from one scar to the other:: CSO: That is a relief. Leg injuries are terrible on both the body and the mind. No-one likes to feel helpless
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Granted
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain Q'Tor.  Weapons signatures do not match residual energies left on the freighter.  I am reading no contraband.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: glares at the CIV, and takes her station ::
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Understood
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: I don't think I've ever felt helpless Doc, worse case scenario... I could always crawl.
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Ferago: Ferago, respond now!
XO_Horn says:
CIV: Cover science please until the CSO has returned.
XO_Horn says:
::nods to the CTO to take her post::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Releases the sensor link from Tactical and steps away to allow Ravenprowler access.  The glare has the same effect on the Vulcan as one would get from showing a rather nice painting to Helen Keller.::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: readjusts targeting lock to the proper configuration, allowing for the drift in the targeting sensors ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Actually, I could slide the ship around and position us between her and the Orion vessel
CIV_Stelakh says:
CTO:  I have adjusted for a point zero, zero, two, eight micron misalignment in the disruptor array.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: doesn't even look at Stelakh, goes about  what she is doing ::
CMO_Kymar says:
CSO: True, there is crawling. But your mind will keep warning you about the vulnerability, and it makes people feel insecure. At least...that’s what I've seen in a few patients before. ::shrugs and smiles again, moving the dermal regenerator to get the scars on the Commander's arms::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Steps over to the science station and resumes his scans.::
Hunter says:
::goes to her new quarters and sets about unpacking her things::
CPO_Snape says:
::blinks at Stelakh almost steps on him, then shrugs and moves over to cover OPS::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: It would heighten the senses.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::looks down at her arm... remembering the Klingon faces that took great pleasure hacking into her::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: looks at the Orion ship growling ::
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Ferago: Orion vessel Ferago, you have 30 seconds to respond
XO_Horn says:
::moves to Sciences:: CIV: Any idea how they are tracking us yet?
CPO_Snape says:
::accidentially steps on OPS Urgle's foot while relieving him::
OPS_Urgle says:
Snape: Ow.. watch it.. ::shuffles away from the station and limps back to his quarters::
CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  Unknown at this time, Commander.  I am continuing scans.
CMO_Kymar says:
::notices the look and loses the smile, watching the device in his hand:: CSO: You seem deep in thought, Commander...
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Begins a full scan of the QIb itself, looking for telltale energy leakage.::

ACTION: No response from the Orion vessel.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: Just remembering all the ... experiences I had on Qo’noS.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: continues tactical scans of the Orion ship ::
Aide_T`Zal says:
@::sends a compressed data file to the IKS QIb, to Ambassador Stelakh::
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Bring that shuttle aboard.
FCO_MJDoole says:
::positions hands over console, ready to execute an evasive "dance" if it becomes necessary::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Their weapons are targeted on us, and they are building a charge.
CMO_Kymar says:
CSO: You don’t seem too happy to remember then...or am I reading it wrong? ::starts on the other arm, wincing in disgust at one horrific-looking scar before beginning to heal it::
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Ferago: Ferago, this is Captain Q'tor of the IKS QIb. Respond now!
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: has a very itchy trigger finger ::

ACTION: The Orion ship responds with twin disruptor cannon

Aide_T`Zal says:
@::noticing the energy blast from the Orion ship moves her shuttle to be out of range and shielded by the QIb::
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Take out their weapons and engines. NOW!
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: I would not trade the experience Doctor, it was not a bad one.  Some of the combatants just seemed to take an unusual amount of pleasure from beating down a Betazoid.  My species does not have a reputation for battle.
FCO_MJDoole says:
::executes evasive pattern Delta-5, causing the blasts to completely miss::
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: fires weapons to take out weapons and engines :: CO: Shields down to 70%>
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Waaayyy ahead of you Captain!

ACTION: The Orions fire repeatedly, a number of shots glancing off the QIb's shields

CIV_Stelakh says:
::Scans the Orion ship's shields.::
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Fire at will!
XO_Horn says:
CIV: What's the chance we are dragging some of the Tachyons from our probe?

ACTION: The Orion ship turns, sparks flying from down the side of the ship

Aide_T`Zal says:
@::sends out a comm call, to SFC and to the nearest starbase, reporting to the Orion attack::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::closes her eyes and 'listens' to the battle going on around them::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::preforming evasive maneuver Omega -7::
CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  The burst from the probe was not large enough to reach the QIb, Commander.  However, I will scan to be certain.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: aims dead center and fires photons and main disruptor cannon ::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Scans the area for tachyon particles.::
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Ferago: Ferago, this is Captain Q'tor. Surrender your vessel and prepare to be boarded.
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Arrange boarding parties Commander. Heavily armed.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CTO:  Commander Ravenprowler.  The Orion vessel's shield harmonics are attenuated to five zero seven point two.
Ferago says:
COMM: QIb: (audio only) I repeat the same to you, Captain!
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO : Minor damage to the outer hull decks 3-6, shields holding.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Their shields are weakening.
CMO_Kymar says:
::grumbles as the ship shakes slightly, hoping the bones in Julia's leg wont need another resetting:: CSO: It is the warrior inside which counts, Commander. Every member of every species has one, but they each draw their power from it in different ways. ::shrugs and grumbles again at the continued shaking of the decks::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scrambles Elite Rogue, beta and charlie teams ::
XO_Horn says:
*CMO* Be ready down there Doctor, this may get nasty.
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Keep on them Commander.
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Don't let them get away
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Arches a brow.::

ACTION: The Ferago fires again, the energy beams appearing stronger than before, shots glancing off the port side of the QIb.

CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  Commander, I believe the probe may be of some assistance.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: fires another volley, phasers aimed for their bridge ::
XO_Horn says:
CIV: How so?
FCO_MJDoole says:
::evasive pattern Echo 3::
CO_Q`tor says:
::steadies himself against the shaking of the ship::
CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  The probe is a modified photon torpedo.
Computer says:
CMO: Bone resetting has been completed...
CIV_Stelakh says:
::His fingers flit across the science station's control panel, initiating contact with the probe.::

ACTION: The Orion bridge explodes into flames for a second, then goes a charred black.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Port disruptor cannon is out, compensating.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries to sense the Ferago crew::

ACTION: The Ferago turns away, firing a photon torpedo from its rear

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sends another round of torpedoes toward their engines :
XO_Horn says:
CIV: What are you proposing? ::looks up to see the explosion::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::positions QIb directly above Orion vessel::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Orders the probe to power up its engines, and intercept the photon torpedo fired by the Orion vessel.::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::causing the photon torpedo to miss::
CMO_Kymar says:
::whispers to himself:: Self: About time...::finishes with the last scar on the CSO's arm and puts the regenerator back on his trolley before moving over to the Osteotractor to begin dismantling it::
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Get a tractor beam on them. Don't let them get away!
OPS_Snape says:
CO: Aye.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::winces at the screams from the other ship::

ACTION: The Ferago's engines start to glow brightly.

CIV_Stelakh says:
::Scans the Ferago's engine emissions::

ACTION: The tractor beam locks on

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: hits their engines with all available weapons ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: Doc, you got anything for a headache?
OPS_Snape says:
::presses a number of keys and a tractor beam connect the two ships:: CO: How much power on the beam, sir?
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  They are attempting to achieve warp speed, Captain.
XO_Horn says:
::moves to flight:: FCO: Watch our distance.  Can we angle enough in front of them to cut them off?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries to sit up on her elbows::

ACTION: The glow in the Ferago's port engine is extinguished as the nacelle blows.

FCO_MJDoole says:
XO: Yes. ~~~~Hmmph. Mere child's play Commander~~~~
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  I am reading an unknown form of radiation being emitted from the Ferago's primary engine core.
XO_Horn says:
CO: We need to disrupt their ability to create a static warp bubble.
CMO_Kymar says:
::puts the equipment on the equipment trolley and turns to the CSO:: CSO: Are you OK, Commander? The leg should be ready to walk on...::turns to his medicine trolley and gets a hypo of something to dull pain::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Turns all sensors on the radiation emissions.::
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Status of their shields?

ACTION: The starboard engine powers down.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: retargets to the starboard nacelle of the Orion ship and holds ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::executes Sierra -5::
XO_Horn says:
::sees their engines go offline:: CO: Nevermind.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Orion shields at 25%.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::sits up and slowly swings her legs off the biobed::  CMO: I....... I've a headache.  It's their crew, they're burning on the bridge, and screaming so loud.
XO_Horn says:
~~~FCO: Most of the time, but Orions are known for their dirty tricks.~~~ ::pats the FCO on the shoulder and steps away::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain Q'Tor.  The radiation is growing in strength.  I am unfamiliar with its energy signature, and there is no match in the Science database.  Suggest we fall back.

ACTION: The Orion ship sheds its nacelles, and the Starboard one gets caught in the tractor beam and heads towards the QIb.

CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Ferago: Once again. This is Captain Q'tor of the Federation Starship IKS QIb. You will power down your weapons, lower your shields, and prepare to be boarded!
OPS_Snape says:
CO: Captain! Suggest re-polarizing the tractor beam!
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Do it!
CMO_Kymar says:
::loads a cartridge of Asinolyathin and turns back to the Biobed, quickly administering the hypospray:: CSO: Can you not cut them out?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: targets the warp core and fires ::
OPS_Snape says:
::instantly depolarizes the beam::

ACTION: The CTO's shot is dead on target, and is followed by a satisfying explosion from the belly of the Ferago.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::shakes her head no::  CMO: I'm afraid I stopped wearing your inhibitor a long time ago Doc.
XO_Horn says:
CO: Captain, the nacelle.  Chance it has some sort of charge attached.
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Scans the nacelle::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
::  retargets the Orion ship dead center and fires ::

ACTION: The tractor beam pushes the loose nacelle away, and the Ferago starts drifting away from the QIb

CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  I am reading the same energy signature in the nacelle which has left the Ferago, Captain.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::gets off the biobed and stands on two feet testing her balance::
OPS_Snape says:
CO: Captain, the tractor beam is pushing both the nacelle and the Farago away from us.
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Cease fire!
CMO_Kymar says:
CSO: Oh...was it not working? ::puts his hypospray down and pulls out his Medical Tricorder, running the scanner over the CSO's head::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::heads for the Orion vessel::
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Let the nacelle go. Re-establish a tractor on the Ferago.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: locks weapons and holds ::

ACTION: The Ferago is hit, and sends debris flying in all directions, some of which glances messily off the QIb's hull

CIV_Stelakh says:
*CMO*:  Doctor Kymar, I am sending you readings of an unknown radiation.  Please assess danger to biological forms.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: It worked fine Doc.  But I didn't  ::smiles::  I want to serve without it.... for as long as I can.
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Any survivors on the Ferago?
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Scanning.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Negative, Captain.
OPS_Snape says:
::complies::
CMO_Kymar says:
::checks his readings and sighs, folding his tricorder up and slipping it into his belt:: CSO: I understand, Commander. But I cannot help you if you refuse treatment. ::smiles slightly:: But I understand...
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Correction.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns....::  CMO: Doc?.. The...the other vessel... its.... but I felt no fear from the crew... they just disappeared.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  There are extremely weak life signs in a cargo crate in the debris.
XO_Horn says:
::moves back to her seat and watches the sensors from her console::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Sends coordinates to Tactical::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged, Stelakh. I will take a look at it ASAP. ::taps his command badge and cut the communication, turning back to the CSO:: CSO: Disappeared? As in...transported, or were they...vaporized?
XO_Horn says:
CIV: In a crate?
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: As soon as that nacelle is a safe distance away destroy it.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: thinks the nearly destroyed ship is a beautiful sight, smiles despite herself ::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: It’s gone... but they showed no fear.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Can you identify those life signs?
Aide_T`Zal says:
@COMM: QIb: This is the Federation Corpse Diplomatique vessel T'Lar. Requesting permission to dock now that hostilities have ceased.
CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  Affirmative, Commander.  If we are to rescue any survivors, they will be in that crate, although we must do so without delay.
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Get that shuttle aboard.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  There is too much residual energy to ascertain the nature of the bio-readings, Captain.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CMO: I think we'll find out which on the bridge  ::turns towards sickbay's doors::  Thank you Doctor.
OPS_Snape says:
COMM: T'Lar: Permission granted.
XO_Horn says:
CO: Permission to beam that crate to the cargo bay.  I'd like to meet it with medical and security Sir.
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Lock onto that crate and transport it, and it's occupants to the cargo bay!
Aide_T`Zal says:
@::executes a graceful maneuver and lands in shuttle bay one::
OPS_Snape says:
CO: Aye.
OPS_Snape says:
::initializes transport::
CMO_Kymar says:
CSO: You're welcome, Commander. Don’t strain the leg too much ::smiles slightly and turns back to his Sickbay::
CIV_Stelakh says:
XO:  Commander, I am uncertain as to the nature of the radiation contained within the nacelle.  It may be unwise to bring it aboard, or near the QIb until we are able to analyze it further.
FCO_MJDoole says:
~~~~XO:Suggest a Level 5 Containment, it could be a last ditch effort of a trick~~~~
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::nods at the Doctor then turns and walks to the turbolift::
CMO_Kymar says:
Dr Jones: Jones, casualty report.
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: I don't want the nacelle on board Commander. I want it destroyed.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: leaves ventral and lateral phasers on the Orion ship and uses the main phaser to target the nacelle and fires ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::bringing the QIb to a full stop to accept the shuttle::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
TL: Bridge.
Aide_T`Zal says:
::leaves the shuttle and nods to the shuttlebay control up ahead, before tapping the comm badge attached to her civilian overall:: *CIV* Ambassador, this is T'Zal speaking. I believe I have sent you a data file about my arrival?

ACTION: The nacelle goes up in a brilliant display reminiscent of the Fireworks on Eldranigan VII

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::flexes her legs in the turbolift... still thinking of the Ferago crew::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: The nacelle has been destroyed.
XO_Horn says:
CO: Agreed.
Jones says:
CMO: Very little, surprisingly Sir. We have a few cuts and scratches, but we have Beta in the nurse stations handling that. The worst we have is a broken arm ::shrugs and smiles:: We always were the lucky ones
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Damage report.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: locks all weapons on the Orion ship ::
CIV_Stelakh says:
*T'Zal*:  Affirmative, T'Zal.
CMO_Kymar says:
::walks over to his console and accesses the information Stelakh sent, running diagnostics on the radiation type and checking on the affect it causes in humanoids::
Aide_T`Zal says:
*CIV* I am hereby reporting for duty, Ambassador. I have been instructed to assist you in any possible capacity.
CO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Organize a boarding party to send to the Ferago. See if there is anything worth salvaging. And most importantly see if we can determine how they are able to track us while we are cloaked!
Security Team Alpha says:
:: enters the cargo bay, weapons on the crate::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::exits the turbolift and makes her way to the bridge::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
Rogue Elite says:
:: powers up weapons and heads for the transporter room ::
XO_Horn says:
*CMO* Meet me in the Cargo Bay, we have a cargo crate with possible survivors.
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Begins scanning the debris for salvageable equipment.::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::looks around at all the activity on the bridge and smiles..... then makes her way over to Science Station 1::
XO_Horn says:
CO: No damage we can't handle Sir.  The Ferago is totally gone.  Permission to leave the bridge.
Aide_T`Zal says:
::right eyebrow slightly arched, waits for Stelakh's reply::
FCO_MJDoole says:
::puts mind on the crate, sensing::
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Granted.
CMO_Kymar says:
::asks the computer to notify him when the diagnostics are complete and grabs his Physicians Kit before dashing out the door and into a TL:: TL: Cargo Bay. *XO*: I'm on my way, Commander
XO_Horn says:
CTO: I want you with me.  We don't know who we just brought on board.
CO_Q`tor says:
::sees the CSO Enter:: CSO: Any word on the freighter survivors?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: What do we have Stelakh?  ::pats him on the shoulder in hello then takes a seat at Science Station 2::
XO_Horn says:
::leaves her chair and exits the bridge::
Michaelson says:
*CTO*: Alpha team has secured the cargo bay::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: follows along behind the XO, pulling her phaser from her boot ::
CIV_Stelakh says:
*T'Zal*:  At the moment, as you are aware, we have been engaged in tactical maneuvers.  Contact the Chief Medical Officer and provide any aid he may need.
XO_Horn says:
*CMO* I'll meet you there.  Do not open the crate until I arrive.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: They are still incoherent Captain.  I saw many images from all of them but they were in too much pain for me to make sense of them.
Aide_T`Zal says:
*CIV* Aye.
XO_Horn says:
CTO: Have your team stand watch but don't open that thing until everyone is there.
Tyrane says:
:: takes the bridge tactical station ::
XO_Horn says:
::enters the TL and orders it near the Cargo Bay::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  ::Arches a brow.::  I am currently attempting to ascertain if there is any equipment that the Orion vessel carried which would allow them to detect a cloaked ship.
CO_Q`tor says:
::nods:: CSO: I am sure Dr. Kymar is aware of my wanting to talk to them as soon as possible.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*Michaelson*: Hold and observe, Ensign, XO and myself are on our way.
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps off the TL, his med kit now on his shoulder and his hand gripping his Phaser Pistol under his coat:: *XO*: Not until you arrive. Got it.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: He is Sir.
Michaelson says:
*CTO*: Aye, Commander.
FCO_MJDoole says:
~~~~XO: I don't sense anything dangerous about the crate or it's contents. This is not a trick by the Ferago crew.~~~~
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns at the view of the destroyed Ferago and then turns to her console and enters her access codes::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: I don't sense anything dangerous about the crate or it's contents. This is not a trick by the Ferago crew.
XO_Horn says:
~~~FCO: I hope you are correct.  We will soon see.~~~ ::exits the TL and heads to the Cargo Bay::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands in front of the XO as they leave the lift ::
XO_Horn says:
CTO: I'm assuming that phasers are always set to stun unless ordered otherwise around here?
Computer says:
*CMO*: No information can be obtained from Sample 04a. Performing a Level 10 scan.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: enters the cargo bay first, looking left and right phaser leveled ::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Permission to join the XO
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Nods to the XO::Aye, Commander.
CMO_Kymar says:
::sighs and waits outside the crate, pulling out his medical tricorder and scanning the survivors inside the crate::
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Denied. Prepare to resume course to Dyson Station.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, let’s stand back while Security does their job, shall we?
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  I am reading three cargo containers.  Each contains a large supply of dilithium.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::starts to read about the mission they are currently on and grins as she find data on the two artifacts they are transporting::
XO_Horn says:
::grabs a tricorder and tries to scan inside::
CMO_Kymar says:
XO: I have to decline, Commander. People are dying in there...::looks down at his tricorder::...I have to help them.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls her tricorder and scans for weapons, explosive, and anything else that could possibly harm the ship or crew ::
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Have it brought aboard, make sure everyone is off of the vessel and prepare to vaporize it.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Stand back until the crate is open.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: The Orion syndicate has been known to steal the stuff.  Not surprising to see they have it in stock.
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: As you wish. ::sets course for Dyson Station. Warp 8, placing it on standby waiting for Captain order to engage::
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Course laid in::
XO_Horn says:
CTO: I'm not scanning anything clearly, something's blocking.  We assume it's hostile and act accordingly.
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Standby
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: The crate is of unknown material, it is impossible to get a clear reading. I do have lifesigns.
CIV_Stelakh says:
::targets the containers and has them beamed to the cargo transporter.::
CMO_Kymar says:
::looks up and sighs, stepping back slightly before holstering his tricorder:: XO: They are getting fainter, Commander. We have to open that crate NOW
XO_Horn says:
CMO: I was waiting on you Doctor.  Now that you have chosen to follow orders, we can get on with helping them.
XO_Horn says:
CTO: Open the crate.
CO_Q`tor says:
TO: Target the Ferago. Destroy what's left.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: erects a force field before remotely opening the crate::
CMO_Kymar says:
::turns away from the XO and scowls. "I don’t like her, Dremel..."::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  There is little else of useful material in the debris, Commander.  I return the Science station to you.

ACTION: Ferago go boom.

CIV_Stelakh says:
::Stands, and steps away from the console.::

ACTION: As the crate opens, three little bundles of fur chirp and poke their heads out of the top

CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Engage
Tyrane says:
:: checks for adequate shield strength to weather the explosion::

ACTION: They flee the crate, but run smack into the force field.

CMO_Kymar says:
::laughs and claps his hands:: Self: Tribbles!
XO_Horn says:
CMO: There're your patients Doctor.
CO_Q`tor says:
OPS: maintain red alert status until we reach Dyson Station
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I see here that you've been studying the artifacts.  Can you tell me about them?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: hates Tribbles ::
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps over to the force field:: CTO: Beam the tribbles directly to Sickbay Quarantine area, and erect a level 10 field around them please, Commander.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: looks at the XO for confirmation ::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  The material used to construct the artifacts is unknown.  It appears that they work in conjunction with equipment buried within a planetary surface, some of which you discovered on Rhendus VII.
XO_Horn says:
CTO: Acknowledged.  Get them out of here so we can get back to work.
FCO_MJDoole says:
::engages Warp engines::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Calls up the readings and computer models he has generated based on his hypothesis that the artifacts may be used as long-range transporters.::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* Sir, we have opened the container.  I don't think you will like the results Sir. ::has heard the stories about Tribbles and Klingons::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  As you can see, the beam emitted by the artifacts allows for the transmission of energy over great distance.
CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: Be sure to lock onto them before you drop the field, they might run for it. :;smiles and kneels down to inspect them closer::
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: What is it Commander?
XO_Horn says:
CMO: I believe she knows that Doctor.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: slowly collapses the forcefield forcing them back into their crate, closes it.::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* Tribbles Sir.  Three of them.  But they aren't ordinary.  These have bodies.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: So, it wasn't just for communication purposes? It was also a transporter?
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  That is one hypothesis, Commander.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: drops the force field and beams them to quarantine in sickbay level 10 containment ::
CMO_Kymar says:
::turns his head over his shoulder to the XO:: XO: It never hurts to check, Commander. ::smiles and stands up::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Where are the artifacts now? I'd like to see them for myself.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Perhaps you and I should check protocols about you following direct orders then?
FCO_MJDoole says:
::shakes head as I sense the new lifeform::
XO_Horn says:
CMO: It appears some things have been forgotten.
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: TRIBBLES!!!! Get them off my ship!!!
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  I have constructed several computer models, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not further study for use as long-range cargo transporters is a viable option.
CMO_Kymar says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: I apologize, Commander. But at first notice there were dying people in there. I had to be first to get to them, or we would have been opening a coffin.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  The artifacts are currently housed under containment in the science laboratory.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stifles a laugh at the CO's response::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* Are you suggesting we beam them into space?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Do you have any idea why we are taking them to Dyson? There are better outposts, more staff, more equipment.... but Dyson.. it's so remote.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: takes up a position next to the door waiting to be dismissed ::
Dr._Jones says:
::blinks as he gets a note of the Quarantine and smiles, reading the lifesigns as tribbles and heading over to them:: Self: Awwww, ain’t they cute.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  Those are our orders, Commander.
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: I don't care how you do it Commander. Get them off my ship!
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, I understood your concern.  But, I also knew that we beamed that thing here from the Orions.  If it was laced with explosives, we would have lost you.  Until it was opened, you and I would have only been in the way.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Which Lab? ::stands up from her seat at SCI2::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CSO:  Main science lab.
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Arriving at Dyson in 7 minutes
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: Permission to return to my duties?
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, go to your patients.  Let me know when I can talk to the uh, bipeds already there.  I'll be on the bridge.
XO_Horn says:
CTO: I'm going to, Cmdr.  You can walk with me.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::smiles at the Captains expression::
XO_Horn says:
::exits the Cargo Bay enroute for the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and turns, heading into a TL:: TL: Sickbay.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits with the XO::
CIV_Stelakh says:
::Arches a brow.::
CO_Q`tor says:
SELF: QI'yaH! Tribbles on my ship again! Took a month to get the stench out the last time!
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Tribbles are unable to defend themselves.  In all respects, they are one of the most inoffensive creatures known.
FCO_MJDoole says:
CO: Might as well as hail Dyson and tell them about the Tribbles
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: Thank you Mr. Stelakh  ::turns away and heads for Science Lab 1::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: walks in to the TL her long braid swinging behind her::
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: This is not open for discussion Mr. Stelakh!
XO_Horn says:
::enters the TL:: CTO: Nice job in there, even if we were saving a bunch a pets. ::grins::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  I am merely curious, Captain, as to why they are so feared.
XO_Horn says:
::hopes to get to Dyson soon and transport the tribbles there::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
XO: A pleasure to serve Commander. Computer: Bridge.
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps off the TL and into Sickbay, heading straight for the Quarantine Area:: Self: I've always wanted a pet...::smiles to himself and begins to suit up::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the TL onto the bridge, taking her station ::
CO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Because they have devastated entire planets! They eat everything in their path, and the more they eat the more of them there are to feed!
OPS says:
COMM: DYSON: This is the IKS QIb requesting clearance to dock.
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Devastated entire planets, Captain?  Unless there is a species I am heretofore unaware of, tribbles are incapable of so much as holding a weapon.
XO_Horn says:
::enters the bridge::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::reaches SCI1 and moves quickly to the containment area where the artifacts are being monitored::
Dr_Xellor says:
@COMM: QIb: This is Dyson. Docking port three is at your disposal.
XO_Horn says:
CO: Sir, Permission to transport the Tribbles to Dyson Station when we arrive?
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: You haven't gotten rid of them yet?
CMO_Kymar says:
::steps into the Decontamination area, closing the door behind him before opening the one to the Tribbles. Stepping through he picks each one up and places it on the table gently:: Self: They look so sweet...
FCO_MJDoole says:
::slight smile:: ~~~~XO: Have "fun" with the Tribbles?~~~~
OPS says:
COMM: Dyson: Aye, understood, QIb out.
FCO_MJDoole says:
::maneuvers the ship and docks at docking port 3::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::starts to read over the analysis performed on the artifacts and the simulations run about it::
XO_Horn says:
~~~FCO: Well, with the Captain's response, I don't think I'll be keeping one as a pet.~~~
FCO_MJDoole says:
::puts the ship at station keeping and powers down the engines::
CMO_Kymar says:
::pulls out his tricorder and scans each one, checking on their health:: *Dr Jones*: Jones, I'll need some surgery equipment in here.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans the sector for other ships ::
CIV_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain Q'tor, I am curious.  Have you had personal experience with tribbles?
XO_Horn says:
::stands at attention:: CO: No sir, I have not.  Beaming them into space is performing the wanton murder of a species incapable of defending themselves.  By beaming them to Dyson, they are safe and the Captain is free from the Tribble threat Sir!
XO_Horn says:
::tries not to grin::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stiffles a laugh at the XO's comments ::
CO_Q`tor says:
XO: Do not mock me Commander. I want those creatures off of my ship now!
FCO_MJDoole says:
::choking down a laugh from the XO's comment::
Jones says:
::wheels in a surgery trolley before walking back out::
XO_Horn says:
CO: No intention to mock Sir!
CMO_Kymar says:
::puts his Tricorder away and picks up a Sedative, knocking each of the tribbles out one by one. Checking his trolley again he begins the small task of neutering the three tribbles:: Self: This should be fun...
