CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
FCO: Uh ... aye, sir. ::Guessing he doesn't have enough time to jump into an actual uniform::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CNS: You seemed surprised counselor.. is there a problem?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  True.  Perhaps....I donna know if this is possible, perhaps we program a fake USS Quirinus aboard one of the holodecks and reroute the virus protocols to record the happenings in that ship?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: One of the Aliens suddenly starts twitching as her nose bleeds, before she settles down again.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Looking around for anything that looks like it could provide some information::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
FCO: I'm not sure of why the Commander wishes me with them, sir. But I believe I'll find out once I get there.

@::Freezes as the alien twitches, looks around at the others::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:

::Exits into the nearest TL, which takes him to Transporter Room One::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@Peron: How aware are they?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: A fascinating possibility.  The momentary shift from real to fake must be seamless.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
TO: Lt. Status report please.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Upon arriving in the Transporter Room, he acquires an EVA suit and grunts as he slips into it. It's been a long time since he put one of these on::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: You said you knew of one or two persons we could trust.  If we can bring Storm out of hiding, we will need another ship to block any escape.  Prism has cloaking technology.  Would Adm. Wolfe be able to help.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::walks up close to the one alien with the nose bleed, trying to peer under the helmet thingy::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Aye....but if they are monitoring transmissions off this ship, I cant trust setting up any sort of commlink - too many leaks between there and here to trust even a secure line.  I'd have to leave, and make it look routine....

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ Uh, hello? ::No answer ... hits the speakers:: Uh, hello? ::Still no answer:: *TO* Thank you, Lieutenant. ::Refrains from responding to her earlier statement. Finds the light switch::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*CNS* :  You’re welcome....

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looking around:: *XO* Commander Thelsh, where are you? ::Tries to stand up::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I'm sorry, but these displays mean almost nothing to me.  If I were to make a guess, I would say they're creating an artificial environment.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: You have already established that pattern.  Perhaps a report that can only be directly presented.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Brushes himself off, for all the good it will do::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ *XO* Commander?

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks around and spots the airlock door. He begins to cautiously approach it::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::here the tiny voice in the helmet she is holding, picks it up to listen:: *CNS* Counselor?  Where are you?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: That might work only if they indeed do have a member aboard the ship.  If they do, then only a select few can know of the actual holoprogram.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Comes up to the airlock door and taps it. It doesn't move:: *XO* At an apparent door of some sort ... I'm trying to find your group. ::Poke poke::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
::does random sweeps of the area just in case something might be lurking about::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Well, I need some reason to up and leave; the Storm are cunning, and might think I am on to them if I were to just leave without reason

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Spots a lever to the side, moves toward it, and shifts it in the direction opposite of it's current position::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*CNS*: Follow the tunnel to the airlock.  It is a very simple design.  Just come on through and follow the corridor to meet us.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
::Listens to the CNS' transmissions and wonders...::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::moves around the aliens, looking at each of them in turn::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::The door slides open, and he walks through. Approaches the door on the other side, pulls the lever there once the door behind him is closed::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: The equipment has been running for approximately 2 years, although that doesn't tell us if they... ::looks over to the aliens:: ...have been here that long.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: In view of your original mission...a discussion with Wolfe on exactly how the Storm knows so much about the Q might be in order.  It might also be important if any other ships have had similar occurrences.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: Well, that is a start.  Why do you think they are here?  Pleasure or Punishment?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Once the second door is open, he exits and begins to walk down the corridor in the direction he thinks the others are at::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: ...or perhaps survival?

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
::reb @ the xo’s  comment::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
*Ens. Fetchitt*: Report to the bridge and take the helm

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@Ops: Nicolas, see if you can find the power source for this machine.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: It does explain why Trebor wanted encrypted materials that could easily be recoded.  One to test our resolve and two to plant the devices.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ XO: Aye.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
<Fetchitt>*FCO*: Aye sir.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: If I were stuck on this asteroid, detaching yourself from the physical world could allow you... live longer.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Finally arrives at the away team's location and gasps::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: True... but why would they be stuck way out here?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: One of the aliens waste system activates and the room gets ranker

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: And what is wrong with their sanitation device?

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*CNS8:  everything old doctor?

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Gags as the sudden odor hits... speaking of the devil, as it were::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Aye....::looks at the communications jamming device::  should I leave immediately?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Perhaps we should have the Q orbit the asteroid and collect as detailed scans as possible.  There could be a crash site, or a settlement.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Cannot smell anything through his helmet:: *TO* Pardon, Lt.? ::Turns to the XO:: XO: Commander, what is going on here?

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*Cns*:  what are you seeing doctor?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::taps his helmet and grins:: XO: I never noticed...

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::gagging, turns toward CNS:: That is why I called for you, Counselor....

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: trying to ignore the smell :: XO: Cold Fusion Generator powering this thing, ma'am.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ COM: TO: A group of aliens hooked up to an apparent machine. ::Looks at the machine, then the XO:: XO: I'm afraid I am as clueless as you are.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: Storm has worked very hard to cast suspicions on this ship, or more aptly put me.  I have still yet to deduce why.  As to your departure, I first want to get control of the devices and a way to eliminate sensitive materials from logs.  I will need you to work with Lawrence and Vid at this time.  I want everything under our control before we go to Wolfe.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Puts her helmet back on, sealing it and recycling fresh air into it::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: Finally, we need something that will bring Storm out of hiding at the right moment.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::turns back to the panel, and scans some of the characters on the display panel, then runs it through the universal translator::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: Good idea, Lahn.  Raythan, I need someone that can figure out why someone would do this... And your that someone

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Notes their lack of helmets:: XO: Is the air breathable?

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*CNS*:  I'm only getting your com signals so ou are the eyes, ears, .. noses of the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: The interruption of the video in this room must appear as a glitch in the system.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Q*: Quirinus, I need you to do a sensor sweep around this asteroid and surrounding area.  look for signs of inhabitation or perhaps a shipwreck.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ COM: Quirinus - TO: I'll keep that in mind, Lieutenant.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
TO: Make it so.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  The cameras are still under our control, but if we stop them from recording, the Storm will know that they've been weaseled out.  The only logs I've found their communications attached to are my own.  I'm sure Mr. Lawrence can set up a filter to prevent any logs over a specific size off of the ship.

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*XO*:  I have had constant sweeps of the area, so far nothing.....

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Decides that the air is breathable and takes off his helmet ... and immediately gags::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CNS: It was... now it is rather... rank.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Tries to ignore the smell, and slowly moves around the aliens and the machine:: XO: It seems they're viewing something ... some sort of virtual reality simulation. Their version of a holodeck? Whatever it is, it must be so realistic they have lost all sense of true reality, and are unaware of the current state of their bodies.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@XO: The language is not one we have encountered before.  I suppose this is first contact then.  ::looks at the waste and smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: We will also need a room where this glitch to be permanent.  It must be a place that Storm operatives would not worry about having to fix.  We must also be sure that they don't have a back up to switch to for log information.  Since I make the most contact with Starfleet, I would be a logical choice.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  I'll speak to Mr. Vid about setting up Holodeck 2 in the meantime.....::reaches over and deactivates the jamming::...I wanted to let you know that I've completed my survey of the crew and no outstanding security threats.

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
FCO:  all I'm getting is rock, rocks and more rocks

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Leans in and peers at one of the aliens:: XO: Either that, or the simulation is programmed to be like this.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: An asteroid rolls towards the Quirinus

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@OPS,CNS,CEO: So what do you think.  Should we try to pull them out of wherever they are? I have trouble leaving them here like this...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
MacTavish: Very well.  Please apprise Lt. Lawrence of your search.  That is all.

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
FCO:  incoming rogue asteroid...........

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
Mr. Fetchitt: I detect an asteroid off the port beam . correct attitude immediately

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: However, they appear to be interfaced with an artificial environment... quite a nasty one.  Their apparent damage are reactions to that environment.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CO:  Aye Captain....::picks up the tricorder and slips it into his pocket, and heads out onto the bridge::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks over at Thelsh, who is a much more attractive visage this moment:: XO: That might very well kill them ... or save them. If only Doctor Morgan were here, she'd be able to determine what damage could result to them from being pulled out of the simulation.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@ CNS: But is this voluntary?  Look at them.  They are wasting away in squalor.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
TO: If we can't shake it try to nudge it with phaser fire

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ XO: I can't possibly tell if it's voluntary or not. ::Frowns::

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
FCO:  we dont' want to cause a chain reaction sir.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Asteroid rolls past the Quirinus after course correction

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ CNS/XO: Sir, I can only think of one way of asking them, without interrupting... this.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Stands and makes ready to leave pausing for a moment to look out the window just in time to see a large asteroid roll very close by::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@Lahn: Can you determine if there is a way to remove only one of the aliens, using that control board?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::shaking his head he leaves the RR for the Bridge::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
TO: Stand down. Point well taken Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: I now what you are thinking, Lahn,  And I do not want any of us going into this VR realm of theirs, just yet.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ XO: Be warned, ma’am. If they did voluntarily do this, they may have grown "addicted" to the simulation. Removing them may either harm them both physically & psychologically or cause them to react violently to us because we took them away.

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
::stands down alert::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::enters bridge moving to command:: Vid: Report.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks around as the alert goes on, then stops::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CNS: Well, then we will be prepared to calm them.  In their shape I dont think we will have much problems

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Notices the CO and CIV Enter the bridge:: Sir. The Away team is still trying to ascertain the nature of the beings on the asteroid

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Nods, and turns to look at the poor beings::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I'll see if its possible to interrupt just one... although I couldn't imagine the shock of coming back to this world after 2 years of wasting away.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Sir we just avoided a collision with a rouge asteroid as well.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::swallows hard, and begins studying the panel, moving through different menus, with the aid of the universal translator::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: Then perhaps you could modify the VR world to slowly bring one around?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Vid: Do we know if they are native to the area?  and yes I noticed the asteroid.  You may return to helm.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Not at this time sir. :: Returns to helm and relieves Fetchitt::

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CO: Transmissions do suggest that they are not. However that has not been proven

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lawrence: Do we have data on the bio readouts for the inhabitants on the asteroid and can we scan the asteroid field for more signs of them?

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CNS: Be prepared. WE will probably have a withdrawal patient for you to deal with shortly, Mathar.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Nods in agreement::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: There... found it.  I could disconnect one of them now.  The procedure would be automated.  I would strongly suggest having a medic here, or be prepared to beam them back to the Q.

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
CO:  Sir I can not have my scans penetrate the area the AT is in.  It might be possible if the AT did an upload to the ship

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Looks around to see if there are any free helmets attached to the machine::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lawrence: If not have AT transfer their readings and also have exosciences do a species cross-reference.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@CEO: I do not want to beam them to the Q just yet.  Can you reinsert them into the VR if we need to?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
FCO:  Mr. Vid, do you have a moment....I need to pick your brain for information...

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*XO*:  I need you to transfer your readings to the ship,  we are going to use them to scan for more of these chambers

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@XO: If you can get him back into his spot, the procedure to reinsert them is here as well.

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CIV: Aye.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@XO: One more thought... what if I could interface this computer with our ship's holodeck?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::hears MacTavish:: Vid: You may help MacTavish.  Fetchitt can't have roamed far.

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@ CEO: Ok Lahn.  Lets disconnect this one ::points at the one that twitched earlier::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:

@ XO: Commander, we must get the others out of the program if possible. I have a bad feeling that if they "die" in there, their bodies may believe that they are really dead and shut down.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: One of the other aliens suddenly begins twitching and all of his orifices begin bleeding

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CIV: Fine. Which Holodeck do you prefer?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <AG> Self:  I had the sword........ Withreia..... ::Faints::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::wonders where Thelsh is headed with her questioning::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Puts a hand on Thelsh's arm:: XO: Commander, please do not shout at her ... she is in shock as it is ...

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Another Alien begins twitching and bleeding

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Looks around at the twitching... ::CEO: Lahn do it... awaken them all.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::runs over to the panel and starts the detachment of the remaining pods:: AT: Here they come.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Tries to make sure the girl is all right as she has passed out::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The other four aliens begin twitching...

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
FCO:  Holodeck 3...it has the lowest user rates.  We can lock it down.  I will need it 100% secure, my access only or it will ruin the experiment

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
CIV: As you wish. It's just around the corner yes?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::steps off of the lifts and heads for the Holodeck::

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
CO: so far nothing, sir.........

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@*Q* We need a Emergency Medical team for 8 patients.  WE will need EVA gear for the injured.  Double time it people

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
Aye, Commander

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As the aliens detach, some immediately pass out... others begin screaming in pain as their bodies try to move

FCO_Cmdr_Vid says:
:: Follows MacTavish.. not completely trusting his story, but...the Capt. did say to assist him in any way::

XO_Cmdr_Thelsh says:
@::Looks around wildly at the screaming... considers just stunning the lot of them::

TO_LtAlex_Lawrence says:
*XO*:  transporting down medical supplies and security personnel

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lawrence: Assemble and beam. COMM *EMT* All medical teams prepare for transport.  EVA suits take 8 extra.

OPS_LtCmdr_Peron says:
@ :: thinks to himself :: What an addictive game. I wonder what it's like.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<EMT> *Sulek* Acknowledged

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Watches in horror:: We have to get them medical attention!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
