A LIGHT STARTS BLINKING ON THE TAC AND SCIENCE PANELS

CE_Siwiak says:
::walks over to them and checks it out::
Host CO_Snow says:
::nods to CEO::
CE_Siwiak says:
Self:  Hmmm.. blinking little lights...

LRS INDICATES THE APPORACH OF JH SHIPS

MO_Rebte says:
::heads to the science lab where the hull fragments are::
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  We got some Jem'Hadar ships on there way...
Host CO_Snow says:
CEO: Cloak
CE_Siwiak says:
::walks over to TAC station::
XO_Ktyla says:
*CO* Captain.....I'm going to try to modify the nanites we acquired in an earlier mission. It's my hope that they'll be of some use to us.
CE_Siwiak says:
::cloaks ship::
Host CO_Snow says:
::thinks maybe they will not see the QIb::
CSO Hawkinson says:
Self:What else can I do?
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Looks like 3 scouts that are out and about...
CE_Siwiak says:
*CSO*:  Try tunneling neutrino beams...
CSO Hawkinson says:
::thinks for a moment::
MO_Rebte says:
::looks at a PADD and checks what we know so far::
Host CO_Snow says:
::nods::
CE_Siwiak says:
::wonders if he should hit that red alert button...::
Host SB_OPS says:
@ COMM : QIB : WE show JH ships inbound , can you assit , Over
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*Okay....hey, is it possible to program the shields to detect the virus, and ward it off?
CE_Siwiak says:
*CSO*:  Busy at the moment...
CSO Hawkinson says:
::brings a neutrino emmitor over to the sample::
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Power up weapons?
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*With all due repect, sir, we'll all be dead if these things get to the hull.
Host CO_Snow says:
*SB*: On our way.
Host SB_OPS says:
@ COMM : QIB : Thank you QIb
CE_Siwiak says:
*CSO*  Doubtful that we can.. the transporter buffers couldn't get them out, and forcefields are all that is keeping it in place...
Host CO_Snow says:
::nods to CEO::
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*Understood.
XO_Ktyla says:
*MO* I'm not sure if the CMO informed you of this.....but it's my belief that changing the electrolytic gradient of the victim's cells may prevent the bacteria from entering them. If you're not currently.....I'd like for you to get to work on that...::hears red alert::

THE JH , HAVING MONITORED THE COMM FAN OUT

MO_Rebte says:
CSO: Is it using some type of acid to dissolve the iron into a form that it can process further?
CSO Hawkinson says:
::groans as the klaxon sounds::
CE_Siwiak says:
*CSO*:  Also, for the hull samples at least, try a baryon sweep.. .kills organic stuff at least...
CSO Hawkinson says:
*MO*I don't think so...before he left, I think the CEO tried that.
XO_Ktyla says:
*CO* Captain......do you need assistance? Or would you prefer I remain in the lab...?
MO_Rebte says:
*XO* Understood. It is worth a try, though. I'll head there now.
CE_Siwiak says:
::slaves flight control to console and gets ready to move the QIb about::
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*allright...
Host CO_Snow says:
*XO*: You may remain where you are for now.
SO_Nalot says:
CSO:Sir, do you want me to go to the bridge?

THE JH START FANNING A SWATH OF SPACE SEARCHING

CE_Siwiak says:
::looks about at empty bridge::
XO_Ktyla says:
*CO* Acknowledged.....::continues working on nanites::
MO_Rebte says:
::leaves the sci lab and goes to the cargo bay where the infected people are::
CSO Hawkinson says:
SO:No.  Monitor the results here.  I'll be on the bridge.
SO_Nalot says:
CSO:Aye, sir...::watches as he leaves::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::walks to TL::TL:Bridge.
CE_Siwiak says:
::mutters somewhat quietly::  Funny if we infected the other ships with this thing...
CSO Hawkinson says:
::arrives on bridge, moves to console::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::starts scanning area::
MO_Rebte says:
::arrives outside the bay, and dons the appropriate hazard gear::
Host CO_Snow says:
::nods to CSO::
SO_Dan says:
XO: I think I've got it....::looks at XO:: I modified some of them to attack the bacteria, kill it, then deactivate....
CE_Siwiak says:
CSO:  We got three Jem'hadar ships in the area...

A STRAY PHASER FIRE FROM ONE OF THE JH BRUSHES THE AFT PART OF ENGINEERING

CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:Morning, sir...it remaiins to be seen if it is good, though.
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Shields?
Host CO_Snow says:
ALL: Red alert

THE LIGHTS AND POWER FLICKERS FOR A MOMENT

CSO Hawkinson says:
CEO:I got them.
MO_Rebte says:
::rocks a bit and wonders if it is starting to attack the ship::
Host CO_Snow says:
CEO: Raise shields
CE_Siwiak says:
::raises shields, drops cloak::
CE_Siwiak says:
::reroute main power to compensate::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::looks up::self:Please don't say the virus is at the power circuits...
CE_Siwiak says:
::brings the ship about with main batteries pointing at the other ships::
MO_Rebte says:
::Enters the cargo bay, against better judgement and goes over to the nearest living victim::
XO_Ktyla says:
SO: Dan.....are you sure they'll deactivate afterwards? I don't want another .....::holds onto table as ship rocks::
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Fire?

THE JH SHIPS WHEEL AND TURN TOWARDS THE NOW VISIBLE QIb

CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:sir, shall I take Operations?
Host CO_Snow says:
CEO: Lock on target. Fire when ready.
CE_Siwiak says:
::evasive manuvers::
Host CO_Snow says:
CSO: Man OPS and FC.
CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:aye, sir.

ONE OF THE JH SHIPS EXPLODES

XO_Ktyla says:
SO: I think I'd better get to the bridge......Keep working on them. I'll inform the Captain of our progress....
CSO Hawkinson says:
::hurries to OPs, and slaves FCO to there::
Host CO_Snow says:
CSO: Bring us around.
CSO Hawkinson says:
::activates evasive pattern Omega::
MO_Rebte says:
::takes a small tissue sample, and injects something into it::

THE SECOND JH SHIP VAPORIZES

CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:Aye, sir, coming about.
SO_Dan says:
 XO: Ok.....I'm relatively certain this will work...but I'll test them one more time to be on the safe side...::smiles and nods::

THE TISSUE SAMPLE STOPS BEING AFFECTED BY THE BATERIAUM

XO_Ktyla says:
::leave lab and heads for TL::
XO_Ktyla says:
TL: Bridge!
MO_Rebte says:
::scans the tissue and grins::

THE JH SHIP EVADES AND HEADS AWAY FROM THE STARBASE

Host CO_Snow says:
::watches as ships explode::
CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:Persuit course?
CE_Siwiak says:
::reloads torpedo bays::
XO_Ktyla says:
::enters bridge.....in time to see an exploding ship::
Host CO_Snow says:
CSO: No, let them go.
MO_Rebte says:
*XO* You appear to have been right, the cells are withstanding the attack! I am going to start injecting all the people in this bay, with your permission
CSO Hawkinson says:
CO:aye, sir.::backs off slightly::
Host CO_Snow says:
::sees XO:: XO: Any luck down there?
XO_Ktyla says:
::smiles:: *MO* Excellent! Let me clear it with the Captain.....
CE_Siwiak says:
::stands down on weapons::
CE_Siwiak says:
XO:  I think I hear good news coming...
MO_Rebte says:
::loads a hypospray with the innocolation::
XO_Ktyla says:
CO: Captain.....we may have come up with a solution. The victims appear to be responding to one of our treatments. Permission to treat them all?
Host CO_Snow says:
XO: Permission granted.
XO_Ktyla says:
::nods and smiles to CO::  *MO* Proceed.
Host CO_Snow says:
::feels some relief::
MO_Rebte says:
::injects the first victim and begins to scan::
CE_Siwiak says:
::scans the ship for any bacteria leaks::

THE RESULTS OF THE INJECTIONS ARE MIXED. SOME RESPOND WELL FALLING INTO A DEEP SLUMBER

XO_Ktyla says:
*SO* Dan....don't activate the nanites just yet. We appear to have a more viable solution in the works.

OTHERS SHOW LITTLE TO NO RESULTS

MO_Rebte says:
*XO* Some are responding well, it may be too late for the rest of them though.
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO> *XO* Acknowledged. ::Self: Whew!::
CE_Siwiak says:
XO:  Nanites?  Don't tell me you brought those things out again...  ::smiles::
Host CO_Snow says:
::listens to reports::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::frowns::CEO:Again?
XO_Ktyla says:
::frowns:: *MO* I see.....
XO_Ktyla says:
CEO: Not yet...... just working on them for now....
CE_Siwiak says:
CSO:  We had a small little battle with them a few months back.. almost got the ship and all...
XO_Ktyla says:
*MO* Do you need any assistance?
CSO Hawkinson says:
CEO:Whoops...does't sound too good!
MO_Rebte says:
::gives an extra dose to some of the ones that only partially responded::
Host CO_Snow says:
::looks at XO::
CE_Siwiak says:
XO:  Just make sure they know we are their friends this time...
CE_Siwiak says:
::waits for results on scans::
CSO Hawkinson says:
XO:Can one reprogram them?
XO_Ktyla says:
CEO: I will.... ::looks at CO and smiles faintly::

THE EXTRA DOSE HAS LITTLE EFFECT

MO_Rebte says:
*XO* An engineering group will be needed to contain the bacteria if they figure out that they just lost their food source. We don't know if they can reason that much though.
MO_Rebte says:
::gives another dose and scans again::
CE_Siwiak says:
*MO* The area is covered in a double forcefield...
XO_Ktyla says:
CEO: .....::hears Siwiak's response and nods::
CSO Hawkinson says:
CEO:Shall I re-route additional power to the force-fields?
MO_Rebte says:
*CE* Understood. However, to be a pessimist, we still haven't found a way to remove them from the blood stream. If these people eat, they will feed the bacteria. Can we get precise transporter locks on the bacteria and then not re-materialize them?
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Sir... the cargo bay walls show signs of infection... must have happened when we were hit...
XO_Ktyla says:
::delayed response to CSO: CSO: We believe so....
CE_Siwiak says:
*MO*  The buffers never got them out... I'm doubltful, but give it a shot.
CSO Hawkinson says:
::smiles::XO:Good.  By the way, how's the baby coming along? ::smiles at her::
Host CO_Snow says:
CEO: Get down there and help. We must contain it!
XO_Ktyla says:
::smiles a bit....worried about husband and son:: CSO: Fine thank you....::Self: I hope so anyway.....::
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Already on to ya...  ::heads into TL and towards engineering first::
CE_Siwiak says:
::arrives in ME, gets a team and suits up::
CE_Siwiak says:
::takes a short walk over to the cargo bay::
CE_Siwiak says:
::scans around for any bacterial infections on the outside of the forcefield::

THERE ARE SPLOTCHES OF COLONIES THE COVER PARTS OF THE WALLS

MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* Did you do any tests with plasma on the bacteria?
CSO Hawkinson says:
*MO*Plasma? No...we were concentrating mainly on the hull...
CE_Siwiak says:
MO:  What would cholrine do to this thing?
MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* We need to dispose of the bodies somehow, that may be an option if it works.
MO_Rebte says:
CE: Unlikely that it would do much considering that it can survive in space. CSO would know more.
CE_Siwiak says:
EO:  Try it anyway...  spray that wall...
CSO Hawkinson says:
*MO*There is a SO in SCI lab 4.  Co-ordinate with her for the time being, please.
CE_Siwiak says:
<EO>  ::sprays wall with some chlorine::

WHERE THE CHLORINE TOUCHES THE COLONIES THEY DIE

CE_Siwiak says:
::grins::
CE_Siwiak says:
EO Team:  Cover the walls with this stuff...
CE_Siwiak says:
<Team>  ::covers the whole area::
MO_Rebte says:
*SO* Have any tests been conducted with high energy plasma and the bacteria?
SO_Nalot says:
::filing her nails, lost in thought, catches end of what was said::*MO*what?
CE_Siwiak says:
*CO*  We seem to be killing it off sir.
MO_Rebte says:
*SO* Would you please conduct high energy plasma tests with the bacteria?
Host CO_Snow says:
*CEO*: Good job.
XO_Ktyla says:
::smiles thinly at CEO's report::
CE_Siwiak says:
::starts to take team into CB and looks around at the walls...::
SO_Nalot says:
*MO*high energy...how high exactly? Just wondering, cuz I'm busy right now...have you ever had problems with your nails getting far too long? Because I've come up with a revolutionary new nail filer!

SCUM COVERS THE WALLS WHERE THE COLONIES HAD BEEN

XO_Ktyla says:
*SO Dan* Forget the nanites for now. Make sure to deactivate ALL of them.
MO_Rebte says:
*SO* It is YOUR job to determine how high the energy needs to be!
CE_Siwiak says:
::activates another field between the sick and the wall, then sparys the area::
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO Dan> XO: Aye aye Commander....::smiles in relief as he deactivates the critters::
CE_Siwiak says:
*CSO*  Scan the rest of the ship for any more colonies...
XO_Ktyla says:
<*XO*>
SO_Nalot says:
::shocked for a moment::*MO*would you mind not shouting? I'm just rounding off a few corners here...can you call me back in about 5 minutes?
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*Aye, sir.::activates sensors, looking for bacteria::
MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* The SO you directed me to needs significant personal help.

THE ONLY BATERIA ALIVE ARE IN THE PATIENTS AND THIER VICINITY

CSO Hawkinson says:
*MO*In what way?
CSO Hawkinson says:
*CEO*The only bacteria left are in the patients themselves...and in the area just around them...
SO_Dan says:
 *MO* Anything I can help you with? I'm finished with my work here....
MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* In priorities. Specifically that in an emergency situation.
MO_Rebte says:
*SO_Dan* Yes! I need to know if high energy plasma can incinerate this thing.
SO_Nalot says:
*CSO*Mr Hawkinson, you have an MO on line 2, who really needs to loosen up slightly!
CE_Siwiak says:
MO:  Any bright ideas on how to get this stuff otta of the people?
O_Dan says:
*MO* I'll run some tests. I'll get back to you in a minute. ::runs tests and waits for results::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::chuckles slightly::*MO*What's she up too?
SO_Nalot says:
*CSO*Which do you think is more important? A few dying people, or having nice curvy nails that you don't need to worry about?
CE_Siwiak says:
::waits for the MO to say something, then turns and heads with team out the door::
MO_Rebte says:
CE: A couple, I am waiting for SCI to get back to me on whether plasma can be used to incinerate it. That will work for the ones that did not survive. For the survivors, we could filter their blood out, using mechanical means if necessary.
CE_Siwiak says:
::goes back to ME with team::
CSO Hawkinson says:
Self:I think I know now what he was complaining about...
MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* She is filing her nails while we have a critical situation where her assistance is needed.
CE_Siwiak says:
::takes the stupid suit off, then throws it into the replicator::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::sighs::*MO*And she put you on line 2 as well...I think she regards you s less important than that, even...
SO_Dan says:
 *MO* The bacteria is incinerated at -2 ev's....::looks at results again and nods to self::
MO_Rebte says:
*CSO* I see.
MO_Rebte says:
*SO_Dan* Thankyou.
CE_Siwiak says:
::hops into turbo and heads for the bridge::
SO_Dan  says:
*MO* No problem...anytime. ::grins::
MO_Rebte says:
*CE* Science reports that plasma will work to incinerate it. I suggest we start removing the bodies as soon as possible to reduce the amount of bacteria on board.
CE_Siwiak says:
::enters the bridge::
CE_Siwiak says:
CO:  Sir... although it may sound harsh.  Perhpas we should destroy the bodies?
CSO Hawkinson says:
::overhears CEO::
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO Dan> ::looks at time and groans....was supposed to be off duty 2 hours ago:: ::Self: I hate emergencies......::
Host CO_Snow says:
CEO: It is not harsh it is a necessity. Carry on.
XO_Ktyla says:
::listens to various reports coming in::
SO_Nalot says:
Computer:computer, are there any male crew members in any nearby SCI labs?
Computer says:
SO: Affirmative.  SCI lab 2
XO_Ktyla says:
::Self: That Vulcan had better be taking good care of my child.....::  ::narrows eyes at the thought::
SO_Nalot says:
::walks to SCI lab 2, enters lab, looking for Dan::
CE_Siwiak says:
*MO*  What the best way to get rid of them... beam them into the buffer and then erase them??
CE_Siwiak says:
*MO*:  Or perhaps send them into the sun?
SO_Nalot says:
SO_Dan:hello there, and what are you doing when you get off duty?
MO Tech Blythe says:
 ::places a barium sample by the Bacteria sample ::
MO_Rebte says:
*CE* Too risky, in my opinion. move them into a focefield sealed area and vent a few plasma conduits would be my choice.
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO Dan> ::turns at the voice and checks out the SO:: SO Nalot: Do we know each other? ::arches an eyebrow::
CE_Siwiak says:
*MO*  If you say so, I'm just an engineer...
MO Tech Blythe says:
MO : did you want this Barium sample here ?
CE_Siwiak says:
::Heads into the TL, grabs a suit and goes back down...::
MO_Rebte says:
*CE* Which means you know the ships capabilities better than I. I guess that makes it your call as it is more an engineering problem at this point.
SO_Nalot says:
::walks right up to him, and takes is uniform by the collar::SO:No, but I get the real feeling that we want to!
CE_Siwiak says:
::stops just outside and sets up the new forcefield::
SO_Nalot says:
::moves her lips towards his head::
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: No, but since you got it this close, please leave it, I'll deal with it.
CE_Siwiak says:
::heads in::
Host MO_Tech Blythe says:
MO: Yes, sir
CE_Siwiak says:
MO:  Here, let's have those MOs over there move the dead ones to this side.  ::points::
SO_Dan says:
::removes the woman's hand from his collar:: SO: I prefer subtlety in my women....:: is turned off by her advances::
MO_Rebte says:
::scans the barium to make sure it is clean before taking it elsewhere::
CE_Siwiak says:
::drags some of the bodies over with an antigrav and puts against far side...::
SO_Nalot says:
SO:Oh really? ::moves her leg slowly towards hin::I can be subtle...
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: Move the ones that are dead over there.
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO Dan> ::thinks....if she'd been a little less forward I might've been interested.....Nice legs::
Host MO_Tech Blythe says:
 MO: Yes, sir, Radiation suits ?
SO_Nalot says:
SO:so what are you doing? I was meant to knock off half an hour ago...would you like to have a chat?
Host CO_Snow says:
*CEO*: Report.
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: Yes, would be good at this point. Innoculate yourself as well.
SO_Dan says:
 SO Nalot: Look....I've got work to do. You do want to survive this right? ::hopes she's not totally brainless:: If I don't finish my work, my boss....who happens to be your boss as well....will be angry. I don't want the boss angry, ok?
Host MO_Tech Blythe says:
 MO: With what ?
CE_Siwiak says:
*CO*  Getting the last bodies over there... preparing to... burn them up sir.  Perhaps we should say a prayer or something?
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: Whatever you see fit.
SO_Nalot says:
:sighs::SO:Oh don't worry, I can wrap Hawkinson round my little finger...
Host MO_Tech LBythe says:
 ::moves off ::
CE_Siwiak says:
MO:  Ready when you are...
Host CO_Snow says:
*CEO*: We already mourn the loss of our own. Please continue ::frowns::
MO_Rebte says:
CE: your operation.
CE_Siwiak says:
::vents plasma into the area and burns the bodies, watching them the whole time::
XO_Ktyla says:
<SO Dan> SO: Perhaps I will join you later for a drink....::trying to placate her so she'll leave:: Catch me when we're finished with this....::puts on a winning smile and hopes she leaves::
CE_Siwiak says:
::waits till the last minute of the burning, then scans to see if it is all gone, watching over his tricoder as the green-yellow fire lights the room::
SO_Nalot says:
SO:Oh don't worry, I got nothing to do, I can wait for you to finish!
XO_Ktyla says:
::sits in chair....still has comm link open to SCI lab 2....shakes her head at the conversation she has heard::
CE_Siwiak says:
::deactives::  MO:  Well... that's that...
CSO Hawkinson says:
::notes voices coming from XO's combadge::XO:Who's that, sir?  Sounds interesting...
MO_Rebte says:
::begins scanning the petri dish that the technician brought in::

THE SAMPLE SHOWS A MARKED LOSS OF BATERIA ON THE SOIDE TOWARDS THE BAREIUM SAMPLE

XO_Ktyla says:
CSO: Two of your SO's.....::rolls eyes:: and one of them is in need of some counseling.....::arches an eyebrow::
MO_Rebte says:
::looks stunned::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::intrigued::XO:Really? Who?::walks over to her::
CEOSiwiak says:
::leaves room, takes off helmet and heads to the science lab to check on that sample::
Host CO_Snow says:
::wants to smile at XO's comment but doesn't::
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: Start exposing these people to radiation. Small doses, and monitor the bacteria.
XO_Ktyla says:
CSO: Nalot. ::frowns:: She would appear to be a hindrance to some of the crew's work performance.....
Host MO_Tech Blythe says:
MO:  Yes, sir ::puzzled ::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::chuckles::XO:Who was she trying to hit on? I'll have a word with her.
Host MO_Tech Blythe says:
 MO: It is killing the bacteria !!
CEOSiwiak says:
::walks into SCI Lab and looks around::
XO_Ktyla says:
CSO: I think you need to have a chat with her about 'duty' vs. 'off-duty'.
MO_Rebte says:
Blythe: Yes, it is. 
Host CO_Snow says:
::wonders why she has not heard a report from the med team::
SO_Nalot says:
::waits for Dan to reply::SO:So? don't mind if i wait? By the way, has anyone ever told you that you have a really sexy voice?
XO_Ktyla says:
::nods:: CSO: Thank you.....
CEOSiwiak says:
::turns around and decides to come back later...::
MO_Rebte says:
*XO* We have discovered a way to iradicate the bacteria.
XO_Ktyla says:
*MO* Excellent. ::smiles and looks at CO::
CSO Hawkinson says:
::thinks for a moment::XO:Is it Dan Sonifield?
Host CO_Snow says:
*MO*: Great! Carry on.
CEOSiwiak says:
::begins to finish taking off the suit::
Host CO_Snow says:
:::smiles back at XO::
CSO Hawkinson says:
XO:I'e had a feeling she's got a crush on him for a while...
SO Dan says:
 ::ignores SO Nalot::
XO_Ktyla says:
CSO: It would appear so....
