CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Who from?
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Approach vector is included in the transmission, but a name has not been given, Captain.  However, the signal is originating from a Starfleet long-range shuttlecraft.
MO_Harm says:
::finishes his gagh and heads toward sickbay feeling that squirming sensation::
CSO_Stelakh says:

MO_Harm says:
::relaxes in his chair and becomes drowsy::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Shuttles door opens and Russ steps off::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Sees Sarah:: XO: Permission to come aboard?

ACTION: Red warning lights flash in the main shuttlebay

ACTION: A radiation siren goes off, as two engineers are blown across the shuttlebay from the shuttle they were servicing

DloraH says:
CO: Alert in the shuttle bay.

ACTION: The shuttlebay doors (interior and exterior) slam shut and lock

CO_Q`tor says:
DloraH: What's going on?
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Looks down at his console as an internal alert appears.  He concentrates internal sensors on the shuttle bay.::
EO_K'var says:
@*Bridge*  K'var. Main shuttlebay. Gaerval radiation leak in shuttle V'Kal. Am locking the area down immediately with a level three forcefield. Request immediate medical aid and specialist support in containing the leak. Five personnel down, repeat, five personnel down!
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Hits the deck at the commotion::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* Sir, we've got a problem.  Radiation leak and we're locked in.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, I am reading Gaerval radiation in the main shuttlebay.
CO_Q`tor says:
*MO*: Catptain to sickbay. Medical emergency in the main shuttlebay!
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: You could get us beamed out of here at any given time now!
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Calls up Gaerval radiation in the ship's library computer, looking for ways to neutralise it.::
CO_Q`tor says:
DloraH: Can you beam the people in there out?
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Stomach rolls as if he is about to be sick::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Radiation leak.  Get back in your shuttle. ::runs to Russ' shuttle::
MO_Harm says:
::wakes up and runs out the door::*CO*:On my way.
EO_K'var says:
@*Sickbay*  K'var. Main shuttlebay. Gaerval radiation leak, request immediate medical assistance. Five personnel are down. Request immediate medical assistance now!
XO_Horn says:
::thinks she's gonna throw up::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Gets up and heads back to the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
::gets in the shuttle and closes the door::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Intensifies his scans, centring on the shuttle, itself.::
MO_Harm says:
::enters the TL and sends it toward  shuttlebay::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
Self: Will I ever be able to arrive on a ship under normal circumstances?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*CTO*: Dlorah to CDR Ravenprowler.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: You have a medkit in here?  Anything for radiation sickness?
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*DloraH*: Ravenprowler, here.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: I am sure there is one.
MO_Harm says:
:;exits the TL and heads toward shuttlebay::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::He finds nothing on the starfleet shuttle, and begins scanning the rest of the bay.::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Looks in a few compartments and finds a kit::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*CTO*: Radiation leak in the main shuttle bay Gaerval Radiation.
CO_Q`tor says:
*EO_K'var*: Are you able to jettison the damaged shuttle?
XO_Horn says:
OPS: When the leak started we were locked in.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*Dlorah*: On my way. Ravenprowler,out.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, the radiation is eminating from the remains of the shuttle that exploded in the bay.
MO_Harm says:
::gets toward shuttlebay and can't enter because it is sealed off::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: We just always seem to find ourselves in bad situations.
EO_K'var says:
*CO* Negative, sir, not without blowing the entire contents of the shuttlebay into space.
XO_Horn says:
*CO* Sir, Commander Horn and I have moved into the shuttle.  Engineers are injured.  I couldn't get to them.  Any chance of transporters?
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: First Romulansnow radiation.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Captain, transporters will not operate in Gaerval radiation.
XO_Horn says:
::sits down as her head begins to spin::
MO_Harm says:
*CO*: I cannot enter shuttlebay but I have ordered all my med teams to meet me here.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  If all personel in the shuttle bay are aboard the Switcheroo, it may be possible to blow the bay doors with minimal damage to the crew.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: We've got to get to those crewmen.  If we can get them in here, then we can undock and they can blow the damaged shuttle out of the bay.
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: That's the problem Mr. Stelakh. Not all personnel are in the Switcheroo
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Uses the shuttle sensors to locate the injured crew::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: walks slowly to the TL and enters commanding it to the shuttle bay ::

ACTION: Sensors pick up three dead engineers (two human, one klingon), and two (both klingon) with failing lifesigns in opposite corners of the bay.

MO_Harm says:
*CO*:I need to get to those people now!
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: There are three dead, and I have two Klingons out there who are in really bad shape.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Shows the XO their positions::
CO_Q`tor says:
*MO*: We're working on a solution.
XO_Horn says:
::looks at the sensors:: OPS: You go for the nearest one.  I'll go for the other one.  ::moves to open the door:: Ready?
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:   Captain, releasing xeonon particles into the shuttlebay may assist in lessening the impact of the gaerval radiation.
MO_Harm says:
::waits impatiently::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Do it!
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: After you.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  In addition...aye, sir.
XO_Horn says:
::opens the door, and runs across the bay for the injured crewmen::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
*CSO*: We should be able to bind that radiation to a particle, and clear it's radioactive effects.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Runs for the other injured crewman::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Keys in the commands, and releases xeonon particles into the shuttlebay, keeping a watchful eye on the balance.::
XO_Horn says:
::shakes off the queasiness and keeps moving::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the lift outside the main shuttle bay doors, pulls her tricorder scanning for radiation levels ::
CO_Q`tor says:
::waits impatiently for news::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Scanning.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Grabs the Klingon underneath both arms and drags him back to the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
::reaches the crewmen and feels she's going numb::
MO_Harm says:
::grabs the med kit and orders his med team to get ready to rush in::
XO_Horn says:
::falls as her left leg goes numb::
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: keys into the panel on the wall, releasing hyronalin into the bay hopefully those alive can be spared by its effects ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Watches his readings, and introduces negatively charged photon particles into the bay, which begins to sparkle from the photonic reaction.::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Gets the injured man settled and looks for Sarah::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Any affect Mr. Stelakh?
XO_Horn says:
::holds on to the crewman and tries to crawl back to the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
::swears with a word she learned from the CO as her left arm goes numb below the elbow::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  The particles are combining, Captain.  However, the effect is minimal.  The particles are combining to form heavier and more densely packed radiation, but in order to be effective, the radiation must be vented.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Russ opens his mouth to holler for Sarah and the technicolor display that spews from him lands all over the shuttlebay door::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Can we vent it and bring in fresh air at the same time?
XO_Horn says:
::keeps trying to move toward the shuttle::

ACTION: Both barely-alive Klingons are unconsious

OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Collects himself and goes to help Sarah::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Air is not the problem, Captain.  We must vent energy.  I would suggest that, given neurological effects have lessened, remaining live crew be brought aboard the shuttle, and the bay doors blown.
XO_Horn says:
Crewman: I swear when this is over, you are going on a diet.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Hyronalin has been released into the shuttle bay in thereaputic levels.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Help me with him.  I'm going numb.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Grabs the crewman and helps Sarah get him on the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
::lets go of the crewman and crawls with her good arm and leg to the shuttle::
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Commander Horn, how many are on the shuttle?

ACTION: The comm to the shuttlebay starts to crackle a bit, but is still audible

OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::Puts the crewman down and helps Sarah onto the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* When I get onboard, there will be 4 of us.  The other 3 are dead.
XO_Horn says:
::grabs the shuttle door with her good hand and starts to pull herself in::
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Prepare to launch the shuttle. We're going to be blowing the bay doors.
XO_Horn says:
::feels Russ' arms as he pulls her into the shuttle::
XO_Horn says:
::reaches up and shuts the shuttle door::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: You feel up to flying this thing?
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Prepare to blow the bay doors commander.
MO_Harm says:
::waits for the news::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Aye, captain.
CSO_Stelakh says:
::His fingers initiate the sequence, and hover over the key that will initiate the explosion.::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
::shuttle engines engage::
XO_Horn says:
*CO* We are onboard and secure Sir.  OPS is ready to fly.
CO_Q`tor says:
*MO*: This is the Captain. All survivors are on board the shuttle.
CO_Q`tor says:
*XO*: Understood
CSO_Stelakh says:
*XO*:  Commander, this is Stelakh.  I will be blowing the bay doors momentarily.  Please ensure that your inertial damping field is running at no less than ninety-four percent.
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Open the shuttle bay doors
MO_Harm says:
*CO*:As soon as they are out beam them and me to sickbay.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: You hear that?  94% the man says. ::lays on the shuttle floor, not able to move::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: Just tell them to go.
CSO_Stelakh says:
*XO*:  In three seconds, Commander.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: stands away from the doors of the shuttlebay raises a forcefiled ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
Three.
CSO_Stelakh says:
Two.
CSO_Stelakh says:
One.
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Presses the key that will, in theory, set off the emergency release explosives around the bay door.::
XO_Horn says:
*CSO* We got it Stelakh.  Blast us out of here.

ACTION: The doors are blown outwards, along with the shuttle, and most of the contents of the shuttlebay

MO_Harm says:
*CO*:You got  that ?
XO_Horn says:
::feels a bit of shaking as the doors are blown::
CO_Q`tor says:
*MO*: Understood Doctor
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Activates the shuttlebay's tractor beam and attempts to grab the shuttle before it's blown into the outflying debris.::

ACTION: Three Klingon shuttles spiral outwards, knocking into each other. One hits the edge of the shuttlebay doorway and explodes, taking a lump of the QIb's hull with it.

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: heads off to the bridge ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Outer hull breach.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Update.
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Brings up containment fields around the affected areas.::

ACTION: The tractor beam flickers, but manages to pull the starfleet shuttle aside before the other two shuttles hurtle past, along with debris from the third.

CO_Q`tor says:
*Engineering* : Damage control teams to main shuttlebay

ACTION: The two unconscious Klingons in the shuttle begin to snore

OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: Well, We are alive!
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Get that shuttle into the secondary shuttlebay
XO_Horn says:
OPS: You never change Russ.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
MO_Harm says:
*CO*:Transport now.
CO_Q`tor says:
COMM: XO: Commander Horn, prepare for emergency transport to sickbay.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Can you get us to the other bay?
CO_Q`tor says:
    CSO: Transport!

ACTION: The MO, XO, and OPS are beamed directly to sickbay

CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: enters the bridge nodding to DloraH as she takes her station ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Redirects the shuttle to Shuttlebay two.::
XO_Horn says:
COMM: CO: Aye Sir. ::
XO_Horn says:
::feels the transport and closes her eyes::
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
XO: I am not feeling the best........:: Feels the tingly effect as the transporter takes him::
MO_Harm says:
::gets to working on the lovely  XO and orders another nurse on the OPS officer::

ACTION: The two Klingons are beamed likewise, to sickbay, but seperately for safety reasons... honest, thats why

XO_Horn says:
::opens her senses slightly to see if Russ is okay::
MO_Harm says:
ALL:Treat everyone for the rads first then worry about other injurys.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans the exterior of the ship ::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  The shuttle is docked in shuttle bay two.  Emergency containment fields are up around the damaged area of our hull.
XO_Horn says:
MO: Leave me.  Take care of the crewmen and OPS first.
MO_Harm says:
::gives the XO a hypospray::
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Turns his scans again to the debris.::
MO_Harm says:
XO: Lie down on the bio bed.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
Self: I just thought this was gonna be a normal day.
CO_Q`tor says:
*EO_Ram*: Mr. Ram, I want to know who is responsible for this debacle!
MO_Harm says:
XO: I got good doctors on the others you let me worry about it.
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  ::Brings up the view provided by the sensors on the main screen where, floating in a big bubble, is bloodwine.::  Transporter, Captain?
XO_Horn says:
MO: It's my job to worry about them too.  ::stays lying down::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Into what? Do we have barrels for it?
MO_Harm says:
::treats the XO's leg::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  ::Reaches over to his controls, accesses the cargo bay transporters, and ties in the replicators.::  We do now, sir.
MO_Harm says:
ALL: All Of you will be on med leave until further notice.
XO_Horn says:
MO: Are they going to be okay?
CO_Q`tor says:
::shakes his head over the waste:: CSO: No Mr. Stelakh. Let it go.
MO_Harm says:
XO: Yes. Now lie down. ::gives her a sedative to put her to sleep::
CO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Is the ship and shuttle secure?
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Arches a brow, but takes his hand away from the transporter control.::
CSO_Stelakh says:
CO:  Aye, captain.
CSO_Stelakh says:
::Uncharacteristically, he disobeys a direct order and transports the bloodwine into the kegs he replicated, ordering the transporter to filter out the appropriate debris.::
CO_Q`tor says:
FCO: resume course and speed to the rendezvous with the Erebus.
CTO_Ravenprowler says:
:: checks for functional forcefields and finds they are funtioning properly ::
XO_Horn says:
::drifts off to sleep, barely realizing she never officially welcomed Russ onboard::
FCO_Avoiddit says:
CO: Aye, sir. Course set. Engaging.
OPS_Russ_Horn says:
Self: I'm getting to old for this $#%@
