Transcript:  USS Quirinus
SD:  10102.05
Episode: ‘Entry’ pt V [end]

SCENE: The Quirinus has been pushed down below the cloud line of Marlis.  Flying above the startled heads of the Marlis Colonists; several ghost-like Effs, fly along with the Quirinus as it streaks across the sky, its thrusters rumbling.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir impulse engines at full reverse. OPS: More power to rear shields to deflect heat
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::pulls himself up from the floor and immediately throws power to the engines and inertial compensators::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Beside the OPS console, hands on the floor, gasping for breath ... a gash on the side of his head::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::flips over the TAC console, landing hard....and remains inert::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::staggers onto the bridge, as the Q shakes in the atmosphere::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Grips the edges of SCi1 with while knuckles as the ship plummets along::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::crawls back into chair:: Vid: Try to get us back to a stable orbit.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Main warp transfer conduit ruptures in Engineering, washing away three startled Engineers in a wave of superheated plasma before a forcefield is erected.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye sir: plotting now
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::watches MacTavish flip over TAC,  Continues to hold onto the console::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: holds onto his console, trying desperately to stay on his feet ::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Several Holo-emitters in Sickbay explode, dumping large quantities of photonic radiation into the sick bay.  Doors automatically seal to prevent radiation leakage.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir I have a huge power drop at the helm
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*SICKBAY* Medical emergency, main engineering, possibly three injured
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::grips chair:: Vid: auxiliary power.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Grabs onto railing, moving toward her chair:: OPS: Peron!  Damage report!
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
::Adjusts for power loss and initiates aux. power
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CEO* Our doors are sealed.. we have radiation leaking
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Quirinus's stabilizes its flight path and regains control.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::tries to move towards MacTavish to check on him, but the turbulence it too much::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::goes the side of the some engineers, to access their injuries::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the orbiting ships / debris::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::feels the ship begin to come about::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
XO: Main Engineering has a ruptured conduit, and Sickbay is flooded with photonic radiation.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir Stabilizers engaged
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  What just happened to the Q'orphod?
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::looks at a worried EO keeping his post, and tells him to look after the injured till the medical team arrives::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
OPS: Beam anyone in sickbay to a safe location...  Is ME contained?
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::as ship regains control, moves over and checks on MacTavish::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*CMO* Would you like us to transport the injured to another location?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Scanning now sir - but it looks like whatever caused the Neutrino leakage caused the ships to blow
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CEO* Heck yes.. get us out of here please
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Impulse power engaged and maintaining orbit just below the atmosphere
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
XO: A forcefield has been erected in Main Engineering. Beaming anyone in Sickbay to Cargo Bay 1 now, and sending off-duty Medical Crews there.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: There's only debris left up there sir
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Grips onto the OPS console, tries to stand up ... the blood down trickling down his neck, staining his blue collar and pips ... he them stumbles, collapses onto the OPS console causing some blood to splatter from his gash onto the console, and then slides off unconscious::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::tries to deal with injured medics while instructing others to grab the necessary medical supplies::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Ops: Very good. ::Smiles at Ops::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: grabs Raythan :: Uh oh...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  acknowledged.  Gokaar:  Any more signs of neutrino?
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Sees Raythan collapse, moves to help Nicolas::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: There are a couple of ships still in orbit sir - scanning detail now ::scans details of remaining ships::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::administers Kelotane to those in sickbay, knowing they'd all been exposed to radiation::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::turns off the conduit, ventilates the area, drops the force-field, and barks at two engineers to do quick repair, 
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
*CMO* Medical Emergency on the bridge.. Lt. Raythan is injured.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is totally out of it::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*CMO* What is your situation?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Contact Q'orphod.  See if they need assistance.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Checks over Mathar:: Ops: He is still breathing at least.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::Checks pulse of the Prism officer, and notices contusion to the head::  XO: MacTavish had been hurt, just knocked out it seems but vitals seem ok.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: increases power to structural integrity field::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir... er, in a moment. I need to wipe this blood off my console.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Nural: Ok.  Have someone look over him.  Med teams are on the way.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CEO* We have a radiation leak and the doors are sealed...
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: uses his sleeve to clean the console off, ruining the uniform :: *Q'orphod* This is the Quirinus... are you in need of assistance?
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::trys to hide a gasp:: *CMO* Aye, stand by.  I'll transport your team and patients to an empty cargo bay.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is being held there ... blood startes to congeal around his gash, but not enough::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*OPS* This is engineering.  Emergency transport of all life signs in Sickbay to Cargo Bay 2
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::calls over an ensign to watch over MacTavish, and returns to TAC::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir Structural integrity is nominal for now
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir , Looks like a Cascade effect from a Neutrino leak in the Q'orphod engines, probably aggravated by the Nebula's effects
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
VID: Good.  Can we gain a bit of altitude?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
*CEO* I attempted to transport them before. I'll try it again -- perhaps the computers were not working properly.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: transports everyone in Sickbay to the Cargo Bay ::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
Computer: What is the ship's status?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Relay information to the Q'orphod.  Make sure they check other ships for leaks.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: mumbles :: Maybe if Lt. Raythan didn't spill his blood all over the stupid console...
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The entire compliment of people in Sickbay are transported to the Cargo bay.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: No response from the Q'orphod, sir.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*OPS* What is the status of the transport?
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir we can climb to just below the planet’s ionosphere and still have protection to ships armor
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Initiates climb..slowly::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
*CEO* Everyone in sickbay is now in the Cargo Bay.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir ::summarizes data and prepares to send to Q'orphod::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Keep a channel open just in case.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::activates a security team to help with injured::  *CMO*: Doctor, I am sending a security team to the cargo bay to help with the injured.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Still on the bridge, congealing::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*OPS* Good job sir
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: reopens the channel ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Just make sure we don't go through that again.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
*CEO* It would've been quicker if my console weren't soaked in blood, Lt. -- but thank you.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir. Acknowledged
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
COM *Q'orphod*: Q'orphod this is Quirinus stand by for urgent data transfer
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CTO* I'd appreciate that.. suit them up though.  Not sure how badly contaminated we are yet.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Everitt: Warp Plasma leakage detected in Engineering, conduit Tri-Delt-34.  Shields inoperable due to environmental conditions.  Ablative armour down to 19%.  Main Power compromised, down to 67% of optimal.  ODN Network inactive on Decks 5 and 6 section Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
*CMO*: Understood.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Be sure to relay any information about any escape pods sensors picked up,
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye sir - as soon ass we get any
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
::Gains the necessary altitude and levels off::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CMO* Doctor, we have some bridge crew that need assistance.  2 are unconscious.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::deals with the explosion victims while determining radiation levels::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*XO* Understood.  Can they be beamed here or do I need to send someone? ::applying Dermal Osmotic Sealant to burns::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*XO* The computers are dead on decks 5 and 6.  I have some plasma conduits blown out.  But otherwise we came through ok.  Anything I should prepare for?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir - Picking up a launce of atmospheric craft from the Q'orphod settlement
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO:Sir, the Qorphods have launched some atmospheric crafts.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural: Course?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Still congealing ... much fun::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CEO* Get repair teams working.  We have a moment, but I don’t want to be unprepared for any future surprises.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: They are holding position above the bowl.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Notices power drop::*ENG*: I've detected another power drop.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Checks sensor status::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::determines the medical staff isn't as affected by the radiation as she feared::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Notes the Neutrino levels above the atmosphere::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Stay on them.  It may be a defensive maneuver.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::passes tthe Neutrino data to the Q'orphod in orbit and at the settlement::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::exits Cargo bay and heads for bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
*CMO* We will have them brought to you.  ::Orders some crewmen to carry CNS and Civ to cargo bay 1 and CMO::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO/XO: Sirs maintaining course just below the planets corona . Neutrino effects minimal
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Agreed.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir we are still picking up elevated Neutrino levels outside the atmosphere
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*XO* Understood.  ::changes direction and heads back to cargo bay::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*XO* I can only do so much while keeping the ship operation.  We'll have to shut down the warp engines for repair, or else they could fail within hours.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Cause?  residual from the Q'orphod ships?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Q'orphod> *Quirinus* You destroyed our ships.  War has been declared.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The craft hovering over the Bowl, begin heading towards the Marlis colony.. low to the planet.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Probably sir - difficult to be sure with the interference up there
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Several Crewman pick up the Counselor and MacTavish, and gently carry them from the bridge, with only a slight bump to their heads as they enter the TL::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Hears the announcement and sets the CONN to war status and evasives::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::His subconscious notes to have those officers locked away for good::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: smacks his head :: Oh god.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com *Q'orphod* Negative,  Neutrino leak.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*FCO* That's correct.  The M/AM chamber is heavily damaged.  I won't be able to fully repair unless I take the whole system offline.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Glances toward the viewscreen after hearing the word war::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CTO: What is our status?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::scans the area for weapon signatures::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::does quick scans of the CNS and CIV as they are brought in::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::notes a concussion for the CIV..doesn't seem to serious::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO/XO: Sirs. Helm set for tactical maneuvers. However we only have impulse power.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CTO: Lock onto those craft.  Prepare to fire....
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::deals with rapid loss of blood by CNS by administering a hyper-coagulant and Dermal sealant::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com *Marlis Colony* Q'orphod believe their ships were destroyed on purpose.  Have declared war.  Heading your way.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Is hyper-coagulanted-- I give up on that one, and sealed::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
OPS: Peron, can you lock tractor beams on those crafts?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  Lock on to hover craft engines only.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
XO: Shields are still offline and the hull armor has taken a beating.  The crafts over the bowl are standard atmospheric crafts but scans are unclear as too weapons and shielding.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Shuts impulse and switches to main thrusters::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::administers 4cc of Inperdrazine to both CIV and CNS for concussions and waits for them to waken::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com *Q'orphod* Your ships were destroyed by a neutrino leak.  Do not take any action we both may regret.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Bolts up and screams out in pain::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
XO: Phasers locked.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::groans, rolling over, his eyes fluttering open::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Ship on thruster power Sir
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::winces and mutters:: Do they always have to yell so loud?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::repeats data stream on sub channel of Capt.s message::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Q> COM *Quirinus* We do not tolerate deception and attacks.  Prove that you were not responsible.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Could the Neutrino field be caused by the fold into the nebula?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CNS: Well.. at least you're awake..  ::gives him a hypo for the pain::  Better?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Takes about seventeen gasps for breath ... and then calms down, looks around ... trying to ascertain where he is, having not heard the CMO::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Q'orphod planes begin flying evasive patterns, constantly changing.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::watches CIV slowly wake:: CIV: How ya feeling Mac?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: A plausible assumption Lt.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sits up, holding his head, muttering::  I wonder if the guys with the pneumatic drills would lay off for a minute::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: watches nervously ::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::assembles data on the blast pattern and recorded telemetry::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir evasives at your mark:
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::smiles slightly and gives him some Rexalin for the pain:: CIV: Any better?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com*Q* We have been sending you data, but neutrino field is causing some problems.  Have you been in contact with remaining ships in orbit?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sighs warmly and smiles::  Yah...
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::starts ventilating the radiation from sickbay::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CIV: Glad to hear it..
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS: Any better?
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::realized the XO said tractor and not phasers::  XO: uh, sir, we are out of tractor range.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural:  What is the tactical capabilities of the hover craft?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Blinks his eyes a few, then looks at the CMO:: CMO: Uh ... I suppose. What ... happened?
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*CMO* It will be days before sickbay can be operational again.  Do you require and additional power supplies or equipment?
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Uncertain sir.  Scans are inconclusive.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Q> COMM *Quirinus* We have.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM*Q* If you blame us why are you attacking the colony?
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::stands, knees a little shaky at first::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::adds the assembled data to the stream on constant repeat to the Q'orphod::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Sir I believe I can bring the ship in between the Q'orphod ships and the Marlisians
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The planes initiate some kind of phasing field preventing scans and positive sensor locks
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
*CEO* Understood.. can I get back to you on the equipment?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com*Q* and what have they reported?
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Moves over to TAC station, looks over (around) Nural’s shoulder:: CTO: Lock phasers... target their engines.  Prepare torpedoes to bombard their colony if this conflicts keeps escalating.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
*CMO* At your convience, doctor
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CNS: I have no idea what happened actually... I was just told that you were both unconscious on the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::small sigh of relief:: *CEO* thanks.  I'll get back to you
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Q> COMM *Quirinus* You ran tight scans of the neutrino field near our ships.  There was no problem before you scanned our ships.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Thinks about it ... but that hurts:: CMO: Oh.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
XO: I've lock the lock on them, they have initiated some sort of phasing field.  I could try a manual fire.  Nothing like shooting from the hip.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CIV: Take it slowly will ya?  I don't feel like patching you back up again in the immediate future.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::smiles:: CNS: Give yourself a bit of time to heal.  You lost a fair amount of blood and will probably be a little woozy.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::hears the doctor's sigh over the com and smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Awaits the word::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Feels a little woozy:: CMO: Yeah ...
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Suddenly throws up::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Com*Q* we were searching for the souce of the neutrino field.  It was two of your ships.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO: Yah yah...takes a wobbly step, then decides to sit back down on the deck....his head swimming
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::makes a face:: CNS: Lovely.  Ever heard of you know, you mess it you clean it?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::motions a medic to come over and clean up the mess::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Head is pounding so much he can barely hear the CMO::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Q> COMM *Quirinus* We will investigate.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
FCO: Move us to where we can cover the colony.... get ahead of their ships...
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::shakes her head at the stubborn persistence of men:: CIV: That’s what I thought.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar:  Keep transmitting our sensor logs of the entire mishap.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Q'orphod planes, break off and head back to the Bowl.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Head is still pounding ... pound, slam, pound, slam, pound::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
CO: aye sir it's on loop
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
XO: Aye Sir
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nural: Maintain locks.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Begins descent::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: The craft have turned back.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Thelsh:  What is the status of the two ships left in orbit?
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::gives the CNS a slightly higher dose of pain medication::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Scans the orbiting Q'orphod::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO: Looks like they are going to back off for now.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::is very nervous as the Q enters deeper into the atmosphere:: CO: They are holding at present... hold on  for a scan...
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Pounding starts to go away ... ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  Do you need any help?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
-=< Time Jump Commencing >=-
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
In the span of 12 hours, the Quirinus is repaired as best she can.  The Q'orphod have concluded their investigation and agreed that the event was an unforunate accident.  The Marlisian Partnership has met with the Q'orphod and ongoing negotiations have started.
They have sent all pertinent information back to the Quirinus in regards to their admittance into the Federation as a separate entity from the Human race.  All is well.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
-=< Time Jump Finished after 12 hours >=-
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Feeling better, although slightly light-headed, he has changed uniforms, and returned to the bridge::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir: Returning to original orbital plane
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::renters from ready room having gone over the information sent by the colony::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::looking over damage reports... still lots to fix, but at least she is space worthy::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Acknowledged.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::Climbs out of the shower feeling like he'd had a dream::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::finishes a security report and lefts office and heads towards the bridge::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Stands toward the back of the bridge ... hoping not to lose what's left of his breakfast::
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::looks at ship's timeclock, losses a thought, and decides its about time for some sleep::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Open a channel to the Marlis Government
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::tired but satisfied that the situation in their make-shift sickbay is under control::
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: opens a channel, refreshed from his break ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Glances at the data from the Marlis/Q'ophod conference.::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::helps out in "sickbay", not having slept much the last 12 hours::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
::dresses and returns to duty::
Host Neranna says:
COMM *Quirinus* This is Neranna, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Comm*MC* Have gone over your request for admission as a member planet.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::finally sits down for a break... seriously wishing it was naptime::
Host Neranna says:
COMM *Sulek* Understood Captain.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CIV: Mac, why don't you pull up a seat? You look as tired as I feel.
CEO_LtJG_Everitt says:
::hands over engineering to another EO and enters the corridor, eventually leading to his quarters::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM *Neranna* We will transmit your request and I will recommend your admitance.  The only problem that may arise is what status to give the Q'orphod given their on-gong problems with the Bellicose.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Thinks: "On going? The Bellicose are trying to wipe them out"::
Host Neranna says:
COMM *Sulek* We have gone over your records in regards to the Q'orphod, we have recognized them as refugees.  So long as they do not cause anything, I think things well be fine.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Silently yawns ... had no idea he was this tired ... considers retiring to his quarters to pass out, but decides to remain her for a little while longer to make sure everything is fine amongst the others::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  Aye...::takes a load off::  What I wouldn’t give for a strong drink right now...
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::looks around the bridge.  Glad to see Counselor back on his feet... and not bleeding::
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::enters bridge and replaces the TAC officer on duty::
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::nods:: CIV: You can have the strong drink, but I'd rather my blankie. ::smiles::
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Looks over charts and begins plotting course home::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM *Neranna*  You may wish to send an ambassador to the Federation Counsel.  The Quirinus would be willing to offer you transportation and arrange for a rendezvous ship to take your delegate to Earth.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  One usually leads to the other
Host Owist says:
::Moves up through the Bridge of the Quirinus::  Sulek: Captain, I will be that ambassador.
CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
CIV: You have a point there.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::moves over to the XO:  XO:What assurance do we have that the Q’orphod will behave when we leave?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Startled by Owist ... still hasn't gotten used to that::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::gives a start at Owist's sudden appearance::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::seeing Owist:: Owist: Your species can travel beyond the nebula?
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: surprised to see Owist ::
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CTO: Not much of one... Just their word.  I guess we will have to see what it is worth.
Host Owist says:
Sulek: The Nebula creates us, but does not sustain us.  Mind over matter so to speak, so long as I have the will to exist, I exist.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
CSO/Owist: Just out of curiosity... did any of the Q'ophod killed in the blast become Effs?
Host Owist says:
Thelsh: Several hundred did, they are with their people.
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::sighs:: XO: I wish we could leave them better defended, but it's their choice and maybe the Effs would be more effective on their own planet.
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow:: Interesting.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  Will you require transportation?
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
XO: I have no way to obtain that data sir , the Effs are not registering on sensors with sufficient clarity
Host Owist says:
Thelsh: As did the engineers that died in your Engine Room.  They are on the planet getting used the idea.
Host Owist says:
Sulek: I'm here aren't I.  I cannot travel at Warp myself, but within a Warp field I can travel like you.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Owist:  They survived?  Oh my.  ::turns to captain:: What do we tell SF and their families?
Host Owist says:
Thelsh: That they exist here now...
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Supposes they'll be taking Owist to Earth::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  A most intriguing situation your world offers.
Host Owist says:
Sulek: That it does.. but I for one wish that sometimes I hadn't died.
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
Owist: Does our crew wish to return to SF with us?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Secure quarters for our guest, Ambassador Owist.  Transmit for a transport as soon as we are clear of the nebula
CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::moves back to TAC and reflects on the unusual situation::
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
Owist: How close to the planet does a person have to be to become an Eff at death?
Host Owist says:
Thelsh: In time they will be able to.. but right now, they are learning to appear.  But nature, we are invisible.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: looks down at his console ::
Host Owist says:
Gokaar: They just have to be in the nebula.
OPS_Lt_Peron says:
Owist: When you are are finished here I'll have someone show you to your quarters.
Host Owist says:
::Nods to Peron:"
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir return course laid in, shields down for entry into the Nebula
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::Looks toward the Counselor:: CNS: You could have been a ghost.  What do you think of that?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Owist:  We will await our guides from your system, or we can follow the course that brought us here.
Host Owist says:
Sulek: The exit course out of the Nebula has been sent to your computer.
CSO_LtCdr_Gokaar says:
Owist: Ahh - Thank you Ambassador, and how do you intend to address the people wanting to prolong their existence when word of this gets out?
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Gives the XO a slightly blank, frightened look:: XO: Uh ... I'm not sure, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid:  Lay in course and prepare to engage.
Host Owist says:
Neil: There is a lot of room, and my form cannot affect the real world.  I just exist as thought and energy.
FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Aye sir done
XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
::gives a big grin:: CNS: Well, I for one am glad you are still with us... in a solid form and all.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::picking up a PADD, stands and heads for the lounge::
CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Nods, with a slight smile:: XO: Thank you.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM*Marlis Colony* This is the USS Quirinus.  If all goes according to plan, allow me to be the first to wish you well in the Federation
