<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
::At helm setting coordinates to bring the ship within 300 meters of the station ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits in the command chair::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looking at the tail::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Guy with the rat tail tries to hide it from bewildered officers.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::in the middle of being transported::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::noses around the Station's Medical Bay::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ :: surprised at what she saw::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ Rat-Guy: Fascinating ... ... ... tail.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::watches the materialization, wide-eyed::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@Miner:  Where did you get that tail?  MEDIC!

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir we are in as close as I dare bring the ship. Beginning deep scans of station.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nosing around a bit::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Lt Everit I assume?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Miner> Lawrence: NEVER MIND!  ::Runs Away:::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Miners suddenly scatter... leaving the crew all alone

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::stumbles:: XO: ...yes, of course.  A pleasure to meet you sir.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Tries to harmonize scan frequencies to Theta radiation.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@Miner:  Halt! ::follow him in pursuit::  *CMO*:  DOC we have a guy who has sprouted a tail.  We need you at my location on the double

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::picks up an archaic looking tricorder...scans it...puts it down again::  'lo?

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Where's the rest of the away team?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Miner> ::Goes through a door that seals and locks behind him::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::heads back towards the group and taps the CTO on the shoulder from behind:: CTO: You what?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: they proceeded through that corridor ::points in the general direction::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Stands there in surprise::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CTO: A tail? Just sprouted it in front of your eyes??

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir scan indicate lifesigns drop as they enter cargo bay

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: You come with me.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks around:: CTO: Um.. but I don't see anyone here now

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::slams fist on door, curses::  CMO:   No he had it hidden from us.  Some sort of DNA was detected. When he tripped a tail fell out

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: From the Dark Corner of Sick bay, MacTavish hears a squeak.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@*CTO* Lt What's your location?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Aye, sir.  ::grabs his things, and follows in step::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::starts walking::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stops....*squeak*?....::turns and looks in that direction, unclipping and raising his electric torch in that direction::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@*XO: Down the corridor to the left.  Our rat has found a hole to hide in

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
COM: XO: Cmdr. I suggest keeping away from the cargo bay area

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: understood.  Work with science and see if there is a way to cut through the radiation interference.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CTO: Really... that's kind of.. well.. interesting. ::was going to say fun, but CTO looks cranky!::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Aye sir

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Some Squeals and moves into the darkness away from the light

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com:FCO: Acknowledged.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::Continues to walk and turns left looking for the rest of the away team::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::turns the light and scans with his tricorder::  'lo?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CMO:  now to find out if any of the other miners have tails.  That is your specialty not mine

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: I've alerted the AT to the possible danger and have begun looking for a hole in the radiations interference::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Some rustling can be heard, and some high pitched, but low volume squeals

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks at the CTO appraisingly.  Either A. She's having a bad day.  B.  She needs chocolate and fast!  or C.  A vacation with her husband::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO* Lieutenant...I think I've found something....

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Stands by and watches on::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Tries to tighten scans to match radiation emissions::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::sees the Away team:: CTO: Report.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CMO: you can check my scans and ask the CNS. He was the one that discovered it. *CIV*: Yes  LT what did you find ?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@*XO*: Sir the CIV has found something, getting a report at the moment

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO*  I think I found the station's doctor....its alive, and used to be human...but I am detecting some severe genetic abnormalities

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::nods and moves towards the CNS:: CNS: So what's up doc? ::has been dying to say that to someone::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: If we get you a miner can you find out what's going on with them?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::watches the members of his away team closely, wondering exactly what they've seen::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::activates the tricorders passive light amplification sensors and deactivates his torch...getting the ambient light kicked up on the small viewscreen::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@*CIV*: Let me guess. based on something from the rodent family IE a tunnel rat?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::The right side of his mouth goes up in a partial smile:: CMO: My tricorder scans indicated that the miners were not entirely human ... further examination found that they had rodent DNA within their own. I remember reading about genetic experimentation in the latter 20th Century with humans ... could this be some sort of illegal operation?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@XO: Um.. perhaps.. but what do you mean 'get me a miner'?  You can't actually mean kidnapping one or something like that?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  *CTO*  Aye

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  *CTO*  Rodent...something along those lines

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Begins LRS/SRS of area while SCI works on data from radiation scans::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to Ops:: Ops: Any luck on getting a lock on the AT?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION:  MacTavish sees a human with goggles on, with a slightly enlarged head and odd shaped ears

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@*CIV*: we have run into a miner with a tail of a rat.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::blinks in surprise, whispers a small obscenity::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: I will detain one miner as this is a federation station on lease we have a right to conduct a health and safety inspection they refused as far as I am concerned.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@ CNS: It's always possible I suppose.  Did the miner have anything to say about it?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Making quotation marks with his fingers:: CMO: And I quote, "Never mind." At which point he ran and locked himself in there ... ::Gestures to the door::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO: If you get a clean shot on a minor stun him.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks at the XO, not sure that reasoning really washes::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO*  Did I just hear that right?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO:  as ordered, but they have all found holes to hide in if you will pardon the pun.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::not taking his eyes off the screen::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Ahh.. chatty fellow.. the outgoing type apparently.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO: Just be ready to get the CMO a miner.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CNS: What can you tell me about these miners?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: We might want to ask them to come along with us first... out of courtesy at least.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::slowly pulls out his Type II phaser::  *CTO*  You want someone NOT in a hole?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::opens padd on command station and brings up the station's data.  Checks for override codes::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: It sounds like I'm going to be asked to study one of these miners, regardless of their consent. ::not impressed look:: I don't suppose you'd stick around for it?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: if this wasn't a serious situation I would say she already has a child to worry about but I wouldn't. :: decides to find out where she might catch a rat, then again she would need some cheese to catch one::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Its my understanding the CTO tried that already.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ XO: Their DNA seems to be part human and rodent. Judging from the way they acted when we picked up on what happened, it sounds like they know what's happened to them is ... "wrong." I've theorized possible illegal genetic manipulation, but I'm not a medical Doctor, you'll have to ask Cmdr. Morgan about that.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@*CIV*: I don't want some one who has found a hole to hide in

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Ahh... ::looks at the CTO for an answer::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CMO: Wouldn't miss it for all the chocolate we've stolen from your cabin. ::Grin::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: Id like you to inspect the thing the CIV found if you would.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO* I've found the station's CMO....I am in Sickbay, main ward

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@XO: Aye, sir.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. There seems to be no way to get through the radiation. The Runabout should be close to finishing the storage pod hook-up. and that might bring the miners in transport range.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@ALL: Every one to Sickbay then.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CMO: That is your cue. The Lt has us a rat trapped. Main sickbay

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The CTO hears scurrying down the hall

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@ ::mock glare at the CNS:: CNS: steal my chocolate and there will be... be.. pain!  Lots and lots of pain!

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::Opens his tricorder, and attempts to get a fix on MacTavish::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ALL:  I hear scurrying of little rodent type feet. I suggest we hurry.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notes sensors show the other cargo pod is in range:: Ops: Lock on to the miners in the cargo pod and beam them to sickbay containment:

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::heading for sickbay::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::keeps an eye on the Station CMO and sits down on a biobed::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CMO: I'll keep that mind ... ::Comes along::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::walking with the crew::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Doctor>  ::In a very high pitched, low volume voice::  MacTavish:  Who are you?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ AT: This way... ::gestures::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Uh huh.. ::winks and grins:: Just have to ask Mathar.. I'll share.  Some.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::heads at quick pace to the SB::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: I also have a job for you when we return to the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Notify the AT that we are beaming the miners from the other pod to the ship.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::enters sickbay slowly, scanning the area:: CIV: Mac?

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::wonders what on earth that may be, but decides to keep his questions for later::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Doctor:  Lieutenant William MacTavish...Starfleet....we're here to help

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CMO:  Over here....

Host Doctor says:
@ MacTavish:  Dim the lights... I can't see.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Civ: Is every thing ok in here?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Sickbay: I want those miners check for any unusual DNA signatures.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks around the sickbay::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Aye Sir. COM: XO: Sir we are transporting the miners from the other pod aboard ship.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::approaches Mac cautiously, scanning::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::raises an eyebrow, the voice is new::  XO:  As good as it can be....

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com: FCO: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Civ: Glad to hear it.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::motions to the corner for the CMO's assistance as he stands and approaches the Sickbay's main console and keys the lights down to 20%::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ ::phaser ready, snoops around the SB::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::quietly to MacTavish as she comes closer:: CIV: Bat... scans are picking up mix of human and bat. ::startled, but covering::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Doctor:  the lights are at 20% normal level, Doctor

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO: Be ready for any thing.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: Aye sir

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Raises eyebrow:: Bat?

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: Doctor: I need information as soon as possible.

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: The Doctor.. moves out of the Darkness, still wearing shaded goggles

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::thinks:  That's a real pisser::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Is there any way to protect us from the radiation in the pod?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::grits her teeth, still reading scans:: XO: Don't have a lot right this second.. just that this one is a mix of human and bat.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Besides EVA suits... the rest would be up to the doctor.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::see's the three pips and the pointy ears...but he doesn't sound like a Vulcan...must be the new XO::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Doctor: How did this happen do you know?

Host Doctor says:
@Morgan: Yes... the Genetriad did it.  I am no longer pure human.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Unless we start decontamination that is... but I don't think we have that kind of time.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Sickbay> COMM Sulek: Sir the miners from the pods show the same traces of rat DNA.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks behind her at the CNS and then at Mac:: Doctor: Genetriad?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Remains quiet, leaving the upcoming questions to the others ... he wonders what would drive a person to genetic manipulation::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Agreed.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::shrugs::

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan: An alien device the Foreman brought aboard... at first it just gave us extra skills.. then the mutations started.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Doctor: Is everyone here a.. mixture.. of some sort?

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Continues scans, and holds ships position::

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan:  And then.... ::Trails off squealing::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::thinks aloud::  That would be the source of our radiation....

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Doctor: Where would this device be now? ::really hopes it isn't working right now::

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan: The Cargo Bay...

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: Can we use transporters to split there DNA and beam them back as pure humans?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Sickbay: Is this a natural state for the miners or is it an artificial enhancement?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks at the XO, eyebrow quirk and all:: XO: Might wanna get that thing. Or at least make sure it's turned off!

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I can take care of the device.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO/CNS: You stay here with the Doctor.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: Sir nothing in SB besides the doctor.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::shakes her head:: XO: Genetic blending.. it's too much to split with a transporter.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO/CEO/Civ: With me were going to make sure that device is off.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CMO: Understood.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: aye sir...

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::wonders what good he's going to do::  Aye...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::decides that company wouldn't be a bad idea in this situation::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com: CO: We have some information for you sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Doctor: You didn't answer before, is everyone here a mixture of some form?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<sickbay> COMM Sulek:  It is not natural and several of them are exhibiting personality traits of what would be considered ummmm "rat-like"

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM T'Pal: Report

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com: CO: We have discovered the foreman brought some thing onto the station and it has caused these mutations.

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan: Yes... I'm the only Bat... most are Rats or Moles.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::looks around:: AT: Do we know where the cargo bay is?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Mole...miners....makes sense.....

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO: Where did the Rats go the last time you saw them?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::walks over to the stations master display and keys the Cargo Bay location::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::stops at that:: Doctor: Most?  Not all?  What else.. ::thinks it would suck if something with big pointy teeth attacked suddenly::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Wonders if anyone has been adversely affected psychologically as a result of these mutations::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CEO:  Here it is.....::points::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::sees that MacTavish is already on it, and waits for his results::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM T'Pal: The miners from the pod are exhibiting the same mutations.  Does the station have any of their normal DNA on file?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Doubts that all just accepted the mutations and moved on ...::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. Scans are picking up an unidentified object hiding in an asteroids shadow.

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan: The Foreman... he used it the most, to keep control.... ::Squeals sharply in fear::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Can you identify it's nature?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::soothingly:: Doctor: But the foreman isn't here now..  you're safe here with us.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::follows MacTavish's finger:: AT: I guess that means this way... ::takes up the lead::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com:Co: I'm not sure yet but I want to find this thing and shut it down if it I sent before we are affected.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CEO:  Aye

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@: head out::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@Doctor: How did he use it and what mix is the foreman?

Host Doctor says:
@ Morgan: He's not in this room.. but he's here... ::Twitches his head to something in the corner of the room near the ceiling::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. It is a ship of unknown configuration. Definitely heading towards us.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::glances at the CNS::

Host Doctor says:
@Morgan:  Predators...

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks up::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::heads off behind the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO/CEO/CIV: We need to make sure that thing is disabled.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::scans anything and everything::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::creepy crawly type feeling::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  XO:  Aye

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: go to yellow alert.  Shields.

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: XO, CIV, CEO, CTO hear a deep growl echoing through the station's hallways.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ CTO: Have you had any problems with hostilities?  Any communication problems in the radiation?

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: When we find it you will shut it down the rest of us will cover you.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM AT: We have company.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ CTO: That doesn't sound good...::sing song kind of voice::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir aye! Shields raised and at Yellow Alert.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::looks around::  All:  What was that the Doc was saying about Predators?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::scans around the room again, being careful to get the area the Doctor was nodding at::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::listens to the echo fade, and wonders if that's an answer to his question::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@Com:Co: Understood sir we seem to have some our self.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Place us between the ship and the station.  Ops: Hail the ship.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Deftly moves the Quirinus between the two.::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV:  Let's hope somebody didn't want to become a super predator.....

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::wonders, "'cover me'... what exactly does he think we'll be walking into here"::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CEO: You need to go first to disable what is ahead.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::quietly, but still so the rest of the team can hear over the open COMM:: Self: Monitoring device

Host Doctor says:
@ ::Suddenly twitches::  All:  He's coming... ::moves back into the darkness::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::continues to walk with phaser drawn and tricorder scanning::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::scans, amping up the bio-sensors::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Steps forward:: Doctor: The Foreman?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks to the CNS again::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::Scans for the Radiation.::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. We are in position. I'm transferring TAC to your console.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ *CMO* Doctor, should I be concerned with the levels of Theta radiation in the cargo bay?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  All:  I've got readings.....

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV: Good or bad........

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CIV: What bearing?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@*CEO* You should all be okay still from the inoculation you were given while on the shuttle.  But I wouldn't suggest hanging out too long in it either...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks down at the tactical:: COMM Unidentified Ship: This is Captain Sulek of the USS Quirinus.  How may we help you?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  All:  Predators of some kind.....Jaguar...Wolf...Mountain Lion...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ *CMO* Acknowledged.  Everitt out.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  All:  I'm having a hard time locking down location....definitely close.....50 meters

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@All: Don't risk it shot it if it moves towards us.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Maintains position between intruder and station::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::checks the scans for weapons complement on unidentified ship::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: I don't think that will be a problem sir.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CTO: Why is that?

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. I can't get a good sensor lock on the intruder. It appears to be jumping from one asteroid to another to hide itself.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Unidentified ship:  Please stand down and state the nature of your visit.

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: A Larger, louder growl can be heard throughout the station

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Just keep us between them and the station.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::looks for the Doctor again in the darkness:: Doctor: Doctor? Don't go..

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CTO: if it threats this group ::hears growl:: it is safe to say I will shoot it

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks around::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir aye! Begins calculating possible moves.::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: send me the coordinates of an asteroid in front of the ship.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::exchanges his tricorder for a phaser, and continues ahead::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Open that door please.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks back, scanning::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Hears the growl:: Oh dear.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
:@::looking at the bay door::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Unidentified ship: Respond.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ALL: let's hope the doc's stuff works.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. Calculating next possible jump. Bearing 000 Mark .015 off the starboard bow.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Starting to feel a bit like lunch here.. and I don't mean in a "I'm hungry" kinda way either...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ AT: Readings past this point are a little fuzzy.  Be prepared for anything.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::begins keying in the door, attempting entry::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Understood.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CMO: Should we move back to the runabout?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::mumbles: tell us something we don't know......

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Swings the ship to bear on the intruder::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::targets an asteroid near the ship:: Ved: recommendations.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Since the Doctor has disappeared I'd say that sounds like a fine idea.. logical.. and a wee bit safer too!

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. When hailing fails a warning shot is appropriate.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::the door opens as it should, revealing the vast cargo bay::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: are they receiving our hails?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Looks around:: CMO: Sooo ... how do we get back?

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::aims light in to the Darkness::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: The same way we came in!  Um.. which door was it, do you remember?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::glances back at the opening door, then back at the corridors from whence they came::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir increasing power to forward shields.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@All: Use your lights Rats don't like it.

Host Doctor says:
@ SCENE: Inside is a huge crystalline object sitting in the middle of the cargo bay.  Its glowing green and red in its interior.  There is a entry way into the dome structure beneath an abstract pyramidal shape

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::checking  things with light, and phaser ready::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@ALL: Lets get this over with 2 by 2s me and the CTO first.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
<Ops>Sulek: Unable to tell sir.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Squints in the darkness:: CMO: That one?

Host Doctor says:
@ SCENE: There is also no one in the Cargo Bay

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  XO:  Aye

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::Starts walking in::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Sounds like a fine choice.  ::getting creeped out and just wants out of the room::

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: Heavy breathing can be heard behind the CMO and CNS, it contains a low growl

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::doesn't argue::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ ::Freezes:: CMO: Um ...

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@::freezes, really hoping that the CNS is having a heaving breathing moment::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Wasn't you was it?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ CMO: I really wish it was. Run?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::follows the CTO and the XO - walking with the CEO::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir forward shields at full power. Phasers online.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: If we are unable to tell if they are receiving, I cannot fire on them unless they make an aggressive move.

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: Two Large, Clawed "Paws" grab the CMO and CNS by the backs of their necks and lifts them off the ground.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
@ Oof!

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
@CNS: Not yet... ::screams::

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: The CMO's screams echo all the way to the Cargo Bay

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stops, looks up, then at the XO::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::lets loose the curse:: ALL:  That sounds like the doc.......

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Understood sir.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::freezes:: AT: I think my expertise is here.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@ CTO/CIV: Go check on the CMO/CNS.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS: Boost signals through the dish array and retransmit all hails.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@ALL: I'll protect the CEO

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Awaits the intruders next jump::

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: The Screams suddenly stop

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ XO:  Aye.......  ::draws phaser and takes off::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@ XO: aye....::takes off hot on the CIV's heels, her phaser always at ready::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Get to work I want to get this done as soon as possible.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Understood.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::leaps through open pressure door mounts and steam filled corridors::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
::keeps scanning and waving his wrist light around the bay.::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::keeping up with him the best she can::

Host Doctor says:
@ ACTION: As MacTavish steps through a door, he steps on and crushes a comm-badge

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::approaches the crystalline device, looking for an interface, or anything that looks familiar::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::stops in the sickbay doorway....hears the crunch.  Taking a deep breath, he steps back and crouches down, picking it up::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::notices some markings, and sighs, wondering if he dare touch::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::comes up to CIV::  CIV: what did you find?

Host Doctor says:
@ SCENE: In the Sickbay the Bat-Doctor, now dead and bloody is tossed against a wall.  The CNS and CMO's Tricorders, Phasers and Comm-badges are scattered on the floor.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::takes a moment, picks up the badge and tosses it to the CTO::  Commbadge....

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Any luck yet?

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::Catches it:: CIV : Any sign of the docs?

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir still can't get a good scan of that ship.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::Looks around the carnage of sickbay, his heart about to burst out of his chest,  leans against the main biobed - the sweet coppery stench of blood filling the air::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Here's my assessment ::pauses, before continuing::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::bends over and picks up her medkit the strap torn::  Yah...this...

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
::Thinks : Most disconcerting ::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Go ahead.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Contact the runabout, see if they can flank it.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV  She will be alright. :: to self:: I hope...

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  COM:  Quirinus:  This is Lieutenant MacTavish - and I've got bad news....

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I don't know what this thing is, how it works, or anything besides that it probably is creating all this radiation.  Even if I had the right equipment, we have only a couple hours in this radiation before we start suffering permanent effects.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM MacTavish: report

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I suggest we decompress the cargo bay, and let the Quirinus tractor it, and study it from there.  In the meantime, we can clean up the mess down here.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Aye sir. COMM: Runabout. This is the Quirinus. We have an unidentified ship in the asteroid field. Acknowledge.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Are there any life signs aboard it?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  COM:Quirinus:  Captain Sulek.....the Station Doctor has been murdered....the Chief Medical Officer and Counselor have been taken by an unknown creature or creatures....all we have are their commbadges, phasers and tricorders....

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Why would there be an open vent over there? ::points::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir the runabout is completely silent. No lifesigns registering.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::tosses the smashed medkit down onto the deck::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::Scans the vent and is confused why he cant get readings from it::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  report in to the XO....

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV: is it wise to leave you alone sir?

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: If we decompress the shuttle bay wont it be sucked into space?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  Does your commbadge work...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Sorry, I could only theorize.  ::suddenly goes pale::  Unless you want me to go in there?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM MacTavish: If you can , follow. With the theta radiation we are still unable to lock on.  we will try to scan for their life signs.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Puts helm on full tactical and evasives ::

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: No you will not.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::trys combadge::  *XO*: can you read me sir

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: I should be able to route external controls, and we can stay in the corridor, and seal the door.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  COMM:  CO:  Understood sir, MacTavish out...

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Do it but seal off the vents also.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV:  Nothing...  radiation must be disrupting it.

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: I don't wanna lose compression on the whole station.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Scan the station.  See if you can find the Dr.  and CNS and transmit coordinates to MacTavish.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CTO:  Go report in....I've got some hunting to do...

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ XO: Agreed.  I should be able to reinitialize the environment if things begin to look bad.

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@CIV: good hunting Lt............

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@CEO: Lets get it done.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ CTO:  Get back safe.....

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
:: Runs scans but can't locate either the CMO or CNS ::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@:: phaser at ready, light ready, takes off at full sprint for the Cargo bay where the XO, and CEO Are::

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::finds a station console in the cargo bay, and begins to look for the proper decompression routines::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::bends over and picks up another phaser, pulling out his tricorder, begins scanning the room for DNA traces....hairs...blood::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Sir. Scans have failed to locate them.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Can we remote the runabout?  and notify MacTavish of scan results.

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@::comes running into Cargo bay:: XO/CEO:  WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

XO_Cmdr_T`Pal says:
@::Moves to the door and awaits the CEO to join him::

FCO_CDR_Ved says:
CO: Attempting to remote activate the Runabout.

CEO_Lt_Everitt says:
@ ::seals the room, except for the one door from where they came, and joins the XO and CTO, ushering them to leave the room::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  The game is afoot....::see's the open airvent....and climbs in::

CTO_LTAlexLawrence says:
@XO: CMO and CNS taken..::out of breath:: CIV  is tracking them.
