::Exits briefing and heads to Sci 1 to begin departmental status checks::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Enters her quarters, throws her carryall on her bed, and takes a moment to catch her breath
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm:  Set for standard orbit approach
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::on his way to his quarters after his shift in engineering::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:

::looks down at his boots and shrugs::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::enters sickbay, taking a quick look around to make sure everything was running alright::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Quickly showers and changes uniforms::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::tosses his uniform aside and walks into the much-needed sonic shower::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::picks up a PADD and begins reading up on the colony...young....mining is the primary trade - population is small::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Exits her quarters and heads to TL::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Quirinus glides into orbit above the small colony, entering the darkness behind the planet.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::dresses into some sharp civilian clothing replicated the previous evening, and sits down at his terminal to review the latest mission orders::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the planet below::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::notes the low tech of the colony::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Steps from the TL, enters the bridge::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Really wishes he hadn't scheduled this appointment at night::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Moves over to her chair:: CO: Morning Cap!  What’s the news?
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::tries to target possible terrorist::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks up from SCI 2::  CO:  Any news, demands, communications from the Colony?
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::scrolling through the mission orders he's surprised at the lack of specifics:: Self: this could be anything
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::skims over the reports from the previous shifts::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish:  Only colony background and that there was a hostage situation.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::mutters:: Bloody Hell
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir the colony comm station just went dead
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::offers the PADD containing the orders to MacTavish::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks over at the CSO, begins taking mental notes::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: The message was apparently on auto repeat and it just cut off
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::in light of the hostage situation prepares some emergency medkits...just in case::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Scans
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Sir, I'm not detecting any life signs.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: works at his console, researching ::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Finishes up with Ensign Dibertz, recommends she doesn't watch old holo-horror novels during the night again, sees her off, goes back to his chair, sits down, and rubs his eyes::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::notifies TAC teams to be on alert::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Can you confirm?
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the planet:: CO: Confirmed sir - No lifesigns
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::gets up and moves to SCI station, looks over Gokaar’s shoulder::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over at MacTavish::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Deep scans the interior of the planet::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::shrugs::  CO:  It makes it hard to negotiate, when there are no hostage takers alive to talk to
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: grunts, frustrated::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::thinks about the precise tact needed in a diplomacy mission like this, which reminds him of the career he wished he led::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the local system area::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish:  Your task then shall be a challenge.  ::quirks one eyebrow up::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Well, if I can talk a dead man out of killing another dead man, then I'd consider my job done
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Drifts over to Ops, stands near Nicolas::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron:  Hail the planet.  We need to talk to the Director, Dilbert Harris.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::looks at his clothes, and decides he'd be better off in a uniform than something for a socializing::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. Hailing.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::scans for a dampening field::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: No response, sir.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar: Is it possible that the planet is keeping us from detecting lifesigns below the surface.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::hears some of her medics talking about a guy in a funny uniform singing some drinking song during the last mission::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the colony's communications array::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CSO: Do we detect any power sources?
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
TO: Indeed there are several materials that will block sensors
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
XO: Checking Ma'am ::Scans for power sign's::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
XO: Ma'am, power signatures from lighting and heating, replicators and the ore processing facility
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Yawns, and tries to stay awake as he reviews some more info regarding Ensign Dibertz, just in case the CIV needs any assistance with the negotiation::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: goes over some leads ::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Suddenly everything on all of the shelves in the Counselor's office flies off and onto the floor, except for one book PADD that rests on the now cleared desk.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO: So they have basic power.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sits back and begins reading up on the labor situation on the world::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Calmly looks around:: Go figure.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Captain, it is likely that the hostages are below the surface where our sensors can't penetrate.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Picks up the PADD, and w/o looking at it's name, reads out the title:: "The Grey and the Dead."
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands:: MacTavish:  Your call. It looks like if there is to be any contact it will have to be face to face.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is going to talk to the FCO about his/her driving skills if they're responsible for this::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Narrows the sensor beam to attempt to penetrate the planet's mantle::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Sighs, tosses the PADD onto the table, and goes about picking up his office::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: What?  They have taken the whole colony hostage?  There should be someone around
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::lets out a deep breath::  CO:  Aye....have a shuttle prepared....and I'll need a pilot
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::wonders who the "certified negotiator" or negotiators, are onboard::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
XO: I can't detect any life signs elsewhere, I can only assume that they are dead, no longer on the surface, or somewhere where we can't detect them.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Gets on his knees to get the stuff which had slid under his couch::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks around:: All: Volunteers?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: glances up ::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::steps forward::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Sir, I'll be willing to help with any away missions, as well.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks at Nural:: MacTavish will you need any one else?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  shouldn’t need anyone else
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural/Peron:  You're with MacTavish.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::nods to the Captain then looks at MacTavish for further instruction::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Peron/Nural:  with me....Shuttlebay 1 ::stands and heads for the lifts::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: smiles slightly and nods to the Captain, turning to MacTavish ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Watches the three leave the bridge::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::wonders if there's a chance he'll get off this ship on a mission like this, but realizes he'll be seeing a lot more jefferies tubes until then:: 
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the planet surface for deep fissures::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::follows MacTavish::  CIV: Sir, what armament should we bring?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: follows MacTavish ::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Bumps his head while picking up stuff, mumbles::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::keys the Shuttlebay::  Nural:  nothing....you aren’t leaving the shuttlecraft
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Stay in touch with the AT and relay any pertinent data you find or they request.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sensors detect a mine entrance less than a Kilometer from the colony
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::heads to her office::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
MacTavish:  Certainly you are not preparing to go in by yourself!?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits down in his chair.  Little to do now but wait::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: raises his eyebrow :: MacTavish: That's nuts...
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Nural/Peron:  I am............:;watches the door open::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*TO* : Mr. Nural, please lock your tricorders into continuous send mode
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Peron/Nural:  They obviously want something - if they didn’t, they wouldn’t take hostages.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Checks to be sure the replacement Ops and Tac are set at their consoles:: CO: I have some work I need to finish.  Permission to leave the bridge?
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::looks at Peron than shakes his head::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::starts tidying up her office so she can start finding things again::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thelsh:  Granted
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*CIV* : Mr. MacTavish please maintain open comms wherever possible
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar:  Yes sir.  ::pulls out him tricorder and sets up continuous data transfer::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CIV: Well, we're going to bring arms anyway -- we can't jeopardize your life. It's not my duty to decide what you do, and I can't stop you... but if the need arises, we're not going to watch you die or be captured.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CO: Thanks, Cappy.  ::Heads to TL::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thelsh:  Cappy?
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Smiles and enters TL::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*TO*: Data lock established, thank you Mr. Nural. You may need to deploy boosters and relay stations as you descend below the planets surface
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CSO*  understood....
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::raises an eyebrow and the edges of his mouth quirk up for a moment::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar: Understood.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::steps into the Shuttlebay and approaches the craft::  Nural/Peron:  I'm not expecting you to understand or approve of my choices - but, just keep in mind I don’t tell you how to do your jobs...don’t lecture me on how to do mine
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
MacTavish: If you go by yourself, how will you keep contact with us or the Q?
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Exits on deck 2, heads to her office::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: gets a few Type III-A Phaser Rifles and puts them in the locker of the shuttle :: Nural: Just in case. They're set to stun, of course... so don't mess with their settings.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Nural:  comm badge signal - but then, the whole point of me going down there is so that I can win their trust, and find out what they want
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::smiles:: Peron: Of course.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Nural:  and not have their transmission broadcast over the hyperchannels
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Finally manages to get everything back to normal in his office::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
MacTavish: But if you go too far below the surface the minerals will interfere with the comm signal.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::sits at her desk and does executive things::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notices a flashing alarm about environmental change on deck 8::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Nural:  That's a chance I'm willing to take to end this thing without anyone getting killed ::steps aboard a shuttle::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::notices the temperature::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
MacTavish: I suggest that you let us follow from a distance and set up comm relays.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
Computer: Is the temperature currently within standard parameters?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Nural:  Let me gauge the response of the terrorists before we confirm anything like that
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Engineering*  Deck 8 shows environmental change. Please assign someone to investigate.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Everitt: Affirmative.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::approves various shift schedules, reads departmental reports::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::steps into a corridor to see if it’s just his quarters::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: sighs and gets in the shuttle ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:;gets in and straps in::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::...and is taken aback by the draft howling through the corridor::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
MacTavish: Could I at least suggest you set up the relays as you go, they are relatively small and inconspicuous.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A cold breeze ruffles the XO's hair.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::ignores Nural::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
Computer: do you detect a substantial movement of air on this deck?
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Everitt: Negative.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Looks up at the interruption, wonders at the breeze:: C: Computer, decrease fan speed by 50%
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Thelsh: Fan is not activated.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::decides to take a walk down to engineering to make sure someone is working on it::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
whispers to Peron: I didn't realize that negotiators took no safety precautions.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Looks up in surprise:: C: Yes it is...  ::move to air vent and feels for the breeze::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: whispers back :: Nural: We'll decide what to do when we get there. We don't have authority over him, especially since he's not really a part of our crew. There's not much we can do.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives and engineering and sees the EOs running around, shivering, while attempting to fix the problem::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CIV: Am I piloting this boat?
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Looks around the room, confused.  Slowly moves about, trying to find where the wind is coming from::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Thelsh: Negative.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
EO: so it’s not just me then?  ::the EO shakes his head, and turns his attention back to his console::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: shrugs :: I am now... :: snickers and sits down ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
OPS:  Doesn’t matter to me....::stares off, thinking::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir it may be advisable to deploy a security detail to perform an investigation of the colony. There may be some data useful in this situation
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
::takes the seat next to Peron and starts begins powering up the shuttle::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
C: Computer, is there any decompression noted within the Q?
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Thelsh: Negative.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
*Bridge* Are you feeling an environmental change up there?  Sensors appear to be misaligned.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  We need to wait and see what the negotiator discovers before we go in.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::notices the breeze is stronger by the window:: How could this be.  It should be going out, not coming in...
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::gladly forgets that he's supposed to be off-duty::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
AT: Off we go... :: lifts the shuttle up as the bay doors open ::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::starts making a dent in the pile of PADDs on her desk::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ :: moves the shuttle forward, out of the bay and away from the Quirinus ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  :;watches the planet come into view::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Sickbay is suddenly dropped into complete darkness except for the glows of the consoles...
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Goes to the door, turns around, and stares at the office, smiles, and brushes his hands off, noting that it looks better than it originally did:: Ah .. perfect. :-)
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@::Brings sensors online and begins to scan for the best landing area::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
C: Computer.  Scan integrity of window located in XO's office
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::suddenly plunged into darkness she bumps her knee on the desk:: Dang it!!
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Thelsh: Scan complete.  No abnormalities.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron: There is a good spot less than a kilometer from the mine entrance.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Doctor Morgan suddenly hears whispering from out in the main infirmary area.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Everitt* Negative
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Self, stranger and stranger...
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Reaches out to touch the window::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
What the...? ::heads towards the door of her office, listening to the quiet whispers::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
*Bridge* Sorry to bother you sure, Everitt out
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ :: enters the atmosphere of the planet, speeding towards the colony ::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*Eng.* Did one of you guys turn out the lights in sickbay?  We'd appreciate if you'd turn 'em back on.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As Thelsh reaches out to touch the window, she hears a scream.  It gets much colder and the window shatters throwing her back across the room.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Flies across room, glass fragments like diamonds around here
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::heads in the direction of the whispers:: Aloud: Who's there?  Is there something I can help you with?  You hurt?
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
*CMO* No sir, we'll get someone down there right away.  ::pauses::  Are you experiencing any other environmental anomalies?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ :: approaches the Colony PADD, slows down and begins to lower the shuttle ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Lands hard, knocking air out of her::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The whispers stop as the Doctor enters the main area.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*Eng.* Not that I know of...yet.  I'll keep you posted.  But the lights would be good.
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@::checks scans for anything unusual, including atmosphere::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ :: touches down and shuts down most of the systems :: All: Here we are.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Struggles to sit up:: C: Computer, activate emergency force fields on XO windows!
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: Sir...  :: Points to the man::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::thinks about sending someone down to SB, but decides, he's as good a choice as any::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Thelsh:  Fields in place.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Tries to catcher her breath... wonders that there is still air in the compartment::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish:  I'm still not reading lifesigns.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::unstraps and stands, adjusting his vest::  OPS/TO:  Watch the shuttle.....::walks over and opens the hatch::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Gets to her feet, looking at the window... the completely intact window::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: How long should we wait?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::listens really closely in case the whispers come back::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ :: sits back and sighs ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Feels her hand all warm and wet, looks to see a cut::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Nural:  Until you hear something from me or from the Colonists.....
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives in SB and turns on a light from his engineering kit:: Sickbay: hello?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Stands:: Gokaar:  I'll be in the ready room.  You have the con.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir ::crosses to Bridge center::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::crosses to RR doors and exits::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
EO: In here...
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  :;walks out into the wind....starts walking toward the center of the colony::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits at desk and begins looking through reports::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@::Watches MacTavish walk out of the shuttle towards the man::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*Bridge* : Thelsh to bridge.  Has there been any reports of decompression within the ship?
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::turns his light to the direction of the voice:: CMO: oh, hello sir  ::lays his light on a biobed, so it lights most of the room::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::glad there are no patients in sickbay at the moment::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::wonders where the welcoming party is::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*XO*: No Ma'am
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
Morgan: when did this happen?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ Nural: Watch him... I'll unlock the lockers.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Everitt's light goes out, as do all the consoles.. plunging Sickbay into pitch-blackness.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::nods:: EO: Ensign.  Just before I called you.  Sickbay is sort of useless without....
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::decides that the reports can wait and pick up a favorite reading from old Earth, the Mahabarata.::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::freezes::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::sighs as it goes dark again:: ....lights
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*Bridge*: Gokaar.  Something strange happened in my office... Have internal sensor reported anything at all?
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CMO: is there anyone else in here?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stops, a good twenty feet from the figure::  Figure:  Hello? ::sighs as he raises his voice, calling out to him::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@Peron: Right, should I get s transporter lock...  just in case.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
EO: A handful of medics in the back, and me of course.
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The doctor and EO feel people moving around the room, brushing up against them.. touching their arms and backs.. faces and hair... no sound at all though.
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*XO*: Nothing at this time Ma'am, I'll have them perform another sweep
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
@ Nural: Yeah, great idea, if it works.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::hair on the back of her neck rises and she shudders::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@::tries to get a lock on the negotiator::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
EO: did you just feel something?
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::spins around:: Sickbay: hello, who's there?
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The man doesn't reply.  The Wind picks up and blows back his jacket a little.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::nearly shrieks as something brushes past her::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Watches as the relief at sci2 performs an internal sensor sweep of the ship::
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CMO: yes, was that you?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
EO: No... I was sort of hoping you'd say it was you
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CSO* Let me know if they turn up something
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::sighs, wishing he knew how to use a tricorder a bit better, trudges forward cautiously::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*XO*: Aye Ma'am
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
Morgan: It must be some sort of electromagnetic field interfering with everything.  We better call it safe and evacuate sickbay.  Set up a temporary location in one of the cargo bays.  I'll send a team up here right away.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Walks up to her window... sees nothing but stars::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Something invisible begins pushing Raythan out of his office..
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
EO: Right... safe.  This has nothing to do with it feeling creepy right?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Quite tired after cleaning up his office, he's about to rest when suddenly he is being pushed out:: Uhm... hey ... whoa ... hey now ... just one sec ... OOF!
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Trips and falls outside of his office::
Ltjg_Torok_Nural says:
@::lock maintained, the computer will keep the lock and notify me if it is disrupted::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
C: Computer. Deactivate forcefield.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::calls to her medics to stumble out of sickbay and to set up camp in the Cargo bay::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::hits his tricorder once, sharply::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The wind blows a bit hard pushing back more of the man's jacket showing a piece of paper skewered to his chest with what appears to be an iron spike.
EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::tries to force a laugh:: Morgan: of course not sir, I don't think sickbay can function... like this.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
:::nods, even though she knows he can't see:: EO: Right... just checking.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Rubs the back of his head:: What in the world ... ::Gets up, and tries to enter his office::
Host Lil_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The whispering starts again.  Then the lights come back on.. and the EO and Doctor are standing there, uniforms ripped all over the place, hair messed, but not injured.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks up at the spike...walks forward and pulls the spike out - the man clearly dead, and grabs the paper::
CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::notices the telemetry from MacTavish's tricorder::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Feels the blood still dripping from his hand, gets a rag and exits her office::
