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

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Holding position. Monitoring Tactical as well::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: at Science One on the Bridge, monitoring the sensors closely ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Working on the assembly::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::keeping tabs on the neural scans of the CSO::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: still wearing the portable brain monitor ::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sips on some water, watching the assembly of the Amplifier from the confines of Nero's::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::seeing nothing so does the multi-task thing::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: How's it going on your end? ::looks at the assembly::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
<C>: Computer: Extend current monitoring protocols into subspace domains Alpha through Theta, and configure Sensor Pallet Twelve for temporal monitoring.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight: Acknowledged.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Runs LRTAC scan::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The doors to sickbay open and someone falls into Sickbay with a thud.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::rotates backwards, and stops at his target, as if it were an answer in itself:: *XO* We should be done in 10 to 20.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rummaging under the biobed she hears the doors open and then thud.  Startled she jumps up and smacks her head on the underside of the biobed:: OUCH!  Dammit. ::rubbing her head she looks for someone to blame it on::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Body> ::The Bloody body moans and tries to crawl into Sickbay::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
C: Computer: Monitor and report all subspace and temporal anomalies within a one light-hour radius of the Quirinus. Maintain previous monitoring protocols centered on assembly team.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::slurp::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight: Acknowledged.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::moves towards the bloody moaning body, wondering why none of her staff seem to notice them:: Staff: Jackson, MacDonald.  Get your fuzzy butts over here and help me out!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: Acknowledged. We'll need to align the main coil, and tie in the power conduit...should be easy.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: TAC scans are running in conjunction with yours

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: shakes head and watches sensor output... still not happy with his performance in this emergency ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shakes her head as she has them help move the body unto a biobed, starts scanning::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Pangborn>  ::His face slashed and burned, bleeds profusely on Morgan as she helps him up::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::swears when she realizes who this is and starts getting to work immediately::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::leans back and swirls what's left of the water in his glass absently::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
XO: Commander?  Can you here me?  Can you tell me what happened?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Pangborn> ::Grabs her arm and pulls her close to whisper in her ear::  Morgan: He is coming... 

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Arrives in the Lounge, a look of calm determination on his face::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::her concern growing as she attempts to stop the bleeding:: Pangborn: Who is coming?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::hears the doors to the lounge open, but doesn't spare a glance, continuing to watch the EVA::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Pangborn> ::Grabs her head covering her hair with blood::  Morgan:  HE!!!!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::watches a piece of the assembly slide into place, keeps a close eye on the tolerances::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks over and sees MacTavish seated by himself. Notes the computer was right about his location. Walks over::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
Pangborn: Alright. Shhhh.  Okay.  We'll watch for him. ::attempts to soothe him a little as his heart rate increases dramatically::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Pangborn> ::Starts going into cardiac arrest and begins to seizure::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::raises the glass of water to his lips and finishes it in one swallow::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: There is no nurse

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::still hurried, as if every extra minute was another chance of a death sentence::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::swears loudly:: Nurse: Hand me the neural stimulators and... ::looks around for the nurse and swears again, trying to bring back the XO by herself::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: Report on your scans please.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Comes up beside the CIV:: CIV: Inspector.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: When Morgan looks back Pangborn is gone and there's no trace he was ever there.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::sets down his glass and looks up::  CNS:  Counselor.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: mulls over what is known about the phenomenon so far ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::stops abruptly, looking around confusedly for the XO::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Eyes like daggers:: CIV: We have to speak.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  Have a seat...

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Takes a seat, still staring at him::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO* Kraight to Doctor Morgan.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: We're almost there. ::watches as they effortlessly glide the last piece into place:: Now for the alignment....

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  What can I do for you, Mathar?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::runs a hand through her hair.. knowing there should be blood in it::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: Ensign. Your report if you please!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*Helmitt*: Help us out here ::motions for him to join them::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CSO* Ah.. yeah?  I mean, Morgan here..

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
FCO: No anomalies detected at this time, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: Thank you Ensign.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: Doctor, I think we can expect more incidents of the sort we have been experiencing as we leave the nebula. Many of those affected by the phenomena we have encountered have reported feelings of anxiety or panic. Do you have any medications that can ameliorate or suppress those emotional states?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::attaches a temporary control panel, and makes several alignments by hand, for better or worse:: *XO* That'll do... lets just worry about the subspace harmonics.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::confused.  No blood in her hair.  Tucks a strand behind her ear.  Looks at her hand and sees blood though.::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Winces as something or someone shouts "HE!" in his mind ... but tries to ignore it for now. He will not let this go:: CIV: We have to discuss a "friend" we have in common.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  Hmm.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Continues holding ship steady, and keeping the TAC scans active::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: I take it you know who I'm talking about?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: Looks like we've got a handle on it ::grimaces out of habit, rather than having to use force:: Almost there.....

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CSO* Ah.. sort of.  Sedation, I guess.  But that would be rather drastic.  I would suggest only using that for the worst of the affected. ::distracted as she touches her ear again and finds more blood on her hand.  Her ear is bleeding?::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  Yes.  ::a bit of movement in the nebula catches his eyes, spares a glance - one glance only, then turns his full attention back to the Counselor::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  What is there to discuss?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::jumps at the sudden shout of "HE", and almost screams back at Pangborn, before realizing it wasn't coming from his comm::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::There is silence for a moment::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: I see. I think you're probably right about it being a drastic step. However, I'll mention it as an option to Commander Pangborn when he returns from assembling the relay.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Then a dark tone fills his voice, one he doesn't ever recall using in the past:: CIV: What is there to discuss?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::stares at the blood, wondering why her ear doesn't hurt?  Not noticing that its the one that Pangborn had whispered into::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Flips a switch and activates secondary power so they can activate the amplifier from the ship, grins:: *CEO*: That should do it ::turns to him:: Ready to head back to the ship? ::turns to Helmitt:: *Helmitt*: Nice work there

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::remains impassive::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::His anger is halted for a moment by the sight of MacTavish's eyes bleeding:: CIV: Are you ... okay, Inspector?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  Right as rain Counselor; you were the one with the problem, it sounds like.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rubs her tired eyes, not noticing the streak of blood on the back of her hands::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: Thank you for your advice, Doctor. Kraight out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ COMM: FCO: Broadcast a diagnostic subspace message, isolated to this relay.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CSO* Ah.. you're welcome.  Ensign, one more thing.  Who is in command right now?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: Broadcasting now . :: sends subspace message to relay::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: Commander Pangborn. He and the EVA team have just completed assembly of the subspace relay. Why do you ask, Doctor?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Grits his teeth ... and then, for the first time that he can ever recall, all the compassion goes out. He doesn't care what is happening to the CIV ... he doesn't care if it kills him or harms him..:: CIV: No, you're the one with the problem, Inspector.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::raises both eyebrows::  CNS:  Is that a fact?  Enlighten me then, Counselor - what is my problem?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::blood streaking down her face like tears but not knowing it:: *CSO* Ah.. cos.. um.. no reason I guess.  Seeing things I guess.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: CEO: Looks as if the transmission went through from here.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: Very well, Doctor. Kraight out.  :: closes comm ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::If looks could kill:: CIV: You, your damned superiors in Prism, and the Storm ... you play your damned little game with us, using us as our pawns in your secret war ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::not even taking the time to inform Pangborn with status pleasantries:: *XO* It's functional.  We'll connect it the Federation subspace network, and monitor its performance.  If it doesn't work out, the network's redundancy should take over safely.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: Not CARING who gets harmed in the process. ::Points a finger at MacTavish:: You found out the truth and you lied to us just so you can use her against them, not caring if she or others get killed in the process! And you used her son as collateral!!!

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ COMM: FCO: Acknowledged.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COMM: CSO: Commander Ved, Status. We're wrapping up here and will be returning shortly. *CEO*: Acknowledged. Lets head back to the ship. We'll go in through the closest docking ring. Starfleet can handle it from here.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: CEO: Shall I begin to redirect Federation subspace signals to the relay yet?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks around a bit confused.  She's seeing things?  Was the XO here?::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: XO: Sir all is well on the bridge. No reports from other parts of the ship.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks at her blood covered hands again and wonders what is real and what isn't::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks around, making sure no one noticed, keeps his voice low and even::  CNS:  Keep your voice down, Mathar.  Lets just keep in mind who we are talking about here - a confessed Storm agent.  If I were in charge, I would've tossed her onto a penal colony for the rest of her life and let it be at that.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::considers calling Mac or someone.  Was she going crazy?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  You're expecting me to feel sorry for her because she made the choice to join the Storm, she must now face the consequences of her actions.  Period.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Doesn't keep his voice down:: CIV: Who says that you're not going to do that in the end? Who can say we can trust you or your superiors? I've counted twice in the past that PRISM has nearly gotten us killed!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::begins moving to the docking port::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::removes his control panel, and locks down the unit as a standard security measure:: *XO* Done.  ::makes a small gesture to Helmitt::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ COMM: Ved: Understood. Pangborn out. I'll be on the bridge shortly

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: still keeping a keen eye on sensor readouts ::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  I'm not going to debate this with you....not here....::stands and returns the glass to the replicator::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stands up, and slams the palms of his hands down on the table, leaning forward at the CIV:: CIV: This isn't as much about her as you. I trusted you, and you lied to me. You could have told me the truth.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: Aye sir.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: Don't you walk away from me, MacTavish!

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  Find me when you calm down...::turns to face the windows and sees something gracefully flying toward the Quirinus....eyes try to focus on the object::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CIV* Mac? ::sounding scared::  I.. I think I'm.. maybe losing my mind.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::still staring at her blood streaked hands, unsure if it's real or otherwise::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: How can you justify what you've done? Using her own child as hostage?! You're not better than the damned Storm!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::nears the docking port:: COMM*Operations*: Secure docking port for arrival of EVA team. ::waits for the door to open::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::stands by the doors to Nero's, shaking himself back to reality::  CNS:  She had a choice, don't forget that,  now she must answer for that choice.  Besides, Counselor - what would you have done......had...you known?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: Sir docking port is secured.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CMO*  MacTavish here.....Rhiannon, what's happened?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Crewman> ::Enters Nero's and looks at MacTavish::  MacTavish: Dude, your eyes are bleeding... ::Before continuing to the bar::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::wipes at them, the blood doesn't really feel like anything...rubs his fingers in the stuff::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CIV* I don't know.  I thought.. the XO was here and was dying.. but he's gone.  No one saw.. can see.  Is the blood on my hands real or not?  I don't know..

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::follow Pangborn, leaving Helmitt between them::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
<Operations>*COMM* Pangborn: You are cleared for entry commander

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: I ... don't know ... I just ... ::The anger diminishes ... reason filters back in, and he realizes that there is actually blood pouring from MacTavish's eyes:: My god. *CMO* Medical emergency, Nero's!

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::turns and heads out of Nero's, fiddling with the 'blood':: *CMO*  I know the feeling...I think...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Pushes the open button on the door, pulls himself inside, looking back for Everitt and Helmitt::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::turns back around at the Counselor::  CNS:  What?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: Two Bleeding eyes crew people walk into Sickbay, looking as distraught as Morgan.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: Your eyes are bleeding. Sit down!

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::screams as she sees the people.  Are they real?::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*CNS* I.. ah..

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  I would think I would know if my eyes are bleeding Counselor.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shaking::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: Nurses come running and try to calm Morgan down and take care of the other crewmembers

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: You're seemingly aware of it! ::Gestures at the fact he's feeling the liquid on his hands:: *CMO* Doctor? ::Hears the scream::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CNS:  If my eyes were bleeding, I doubt I would be this rational - or calm.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> All Decks:  Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert, Deck 1, Captain's Ready Room!  Intruder alert!

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
C: Computer: Specify nature of intruder.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
COMM: XO: We have intruder alert on the bridge. *Security to the bridge immediately!!:

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::hears the scream...and is no longer rational or calm....turns and runs for the lifts::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight: .... Unknown.... Unable.... Unknown.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Prepares to lock down the CO's RR from outside::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: checks that he still has his phaser 2 on his belt ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
CIV: MacTavish! ::Runs after him::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::still broadcasting to the CNS and CIV, shaking, mumbling::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::skids to a stop at the lifts, pounds on the call console a couple times::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: Get in here on the double, I need to get to the bridge! ::pulls him inside and restores the atmosphere::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::misses the hatch, causing him to slam into the side, spinning through the air lock::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
C: Computer: Repeat answer to my last query.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
*Sickbay* Sickbay, this is Counselor Raythan, Inspector MacTavish is inbound and he is bleeding from his eyes! He does not apparently feel any pain ...

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: Stun anything that might come through those doors.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smacks at the hands of the nurses around her::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight: Unable to comply, last query not understood.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: thinks: Great Maker, now the computer is losing its 'mind'! ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::hastily takes off his EVA suit:: *Ved*: I'm on my way ::breaks into a run as soon as he is free of the suit::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Sets phaser for heavy stun::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::slips into the lift even before the doors finish opening::  Aloud:  Sickbay, NOW!

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: reconfigures his LCARS panel quickly to shut down verbal interface ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Dives in behind the CIV:: CIV: SLOW DOWN!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::reaches the turbolift and slides inside:: TL: Bridge

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Sets all bridge consoles to lock out condition, saving last known settings::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::doesn't say a word, waits for the lifts to stop::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
<Sickbay> *CNS* Counselor, we have more then a few of those same cases here in sickbay.. including Dr. Morgan.  Get him here.  Plus, we could use your help. ::glances at the CMO::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: tries to reconfigure his LCARS panel, can't due to lockout ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks at the CIV:: *Sickbay* We're on our way.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*Security*: Where is that detachment?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::as soon as the lift stops, slips through the opening doors and runs for sickbay::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Runs after the CIV::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Security> *Ved* On Route

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::tells herself it's not real.  None of it is real::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::His mind begins to wander, and he recalls - "HE!!!" being shouted, and says aloud while thinking it:: Where is he?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::nurses a shoulder, and wonders where Pangborn dashed off to::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::the turbolift doors open on to the bridge, runs out:: Ved: Report. What is going on?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::covers her ears, the one still bleeding, trying to keep out the sounds around her::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stops in his tracks:: Above me?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
XO: Sir we have an intruder alert, but as yet have had no contact. Last report was the CO's RR. I've secured it from my console.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks up, actually thinking about the ship::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::nearly hits the doors into the sickbay as they open::  CMO:  Rhiannon!

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Asks again:: Close?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Scan the interior of the ready room. What is  in there? ::Nods at Ved::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks around wildly, seeing Mac.  But was he really there either?::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Tries to focus his betrayal and anger into solving this mystery:: That isn't a correct answer. Close or far? Is He coming closer? Will he be here soon?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CIV: Will? ::desperate::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at Helmitt, apparently clueless as well, and has him report to ME, while he heads to bridge himself::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::pushes past a couple of nurses and crouches down, grabbing her shoulders::  CMO:  I'm here

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: I asked the computer to do that a moment ago, sir. It could not specify the nature of the intruder, and seemed to be having a problem understanding my commands.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::drops her hands from her ears, lets out a sob:: CIV: What is happening?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::as he steps into the corridors, he hears another shout, and madly dashes sideways, looking up and around him::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::He asks again, just standing there:: Are people bleeding because He is coming Now from Above?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CIV: Am I going crazy?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  I don't know ::brushes a couple of unruly strands of hair back from her face::...I don't know

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
XO: Sir oddly enough, there has been no real contact with the other crew for some time now.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: If Cmdr Ved would release the control lockout, I can attempt a diagnostic.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CSO: Done. You may begin.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
FCO: Thank you, sir.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Security team arrives on the Bridge

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::as a voice shouts "now", he dives towards the closest door, huddling under the door frame::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::sees the blood streaking down his face and shudders.  It is enough though.  Trying to pull herself together she wipes at his face:: CIV: We have to.. do.. I don't know.  But, you're bleeding.  Are you okay?  Does it hurt?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: reconfigures his LCARS panel for typed input, types following commands ::  C: Run Level Three diagnostic on verbal input and pattern recognition sub-processors.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO:  Does what hurt?

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks up:: *Bridge* Bridge, this is Counselor Raythan, have there been any intruders registered? ::Starts running to the turbolift, changing his thoughts away from Lisa:: I'm in contact with someone or something which is indicating "He" has arrived! I don't know who "He" is, but it might be responsible for all of this! ::Enters TL:: TL: Bridge!

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight: Working.... Diagnostics complete, no malfunctions detected.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Takes over science one:: CSO; What the devil :;almost mumbling to himself, frowns:: FCO: Release the lockout long enough to give us a good scan ::grabs a phaser:: I'll be ready if anything should emerge. CSO: Do as thorough a scan as possible while the room is unprotected

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CIV: Your eyes.  They're bleeding.  ::stops for a second:: I think they're bleeding?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: types :: C: Scan Captain's Ready Room. Report nature and number of intruders.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::slowly he realizes that his situation hasn't changed:: *Bridge* Something's changing, is anything happening above the ship?  Do a sensor scan... something! ::verging on another panic::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
Security: Standby the RR. and assist the XO. XO: Aye sir unlocking now.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::smiles;:  CMO:  People keep saying that....but if it did, I doubt I would be smiling

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: Scanning now, sir.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<C> Kraight:  Unable... Unknown.... Unknown...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::points his phaser at the ready room door:: FCO: Now!

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Unlocks RR::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: hits panel with fist :: Frak!

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::The TL doors open to the bridge, rushes out and sees them ready to open the doors::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: Sir, the computer still reports it is unable to scan the RR.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Looks at the science consol, and the gibberish coming from it:: CSO: Do it manually if you have to. Over ride the main settings

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods, troubled expression:: CIV: So I'm not the only one losing it.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Tugs at earlobe and thinks Frak?::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO: I guess so, Love

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: abandons computer for the moment, takes tricorder from belt holster, moves towards RR ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Commander, I believe whatever is responsible for all these weird happenings is in the ready room. It has, or someone else has, been in contact with me.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::still hiding under a door frame:: *Bridge* Bridge!!

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CIV: Lovely. ::sees the chaos around them for the first time::  And them?  I see them all bleeding.  Do you?  I need to do something.  Right?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: aims tricorder at RR door, begins scanning for life forms ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Hears the CEO:: *CEO* Lahn? It's me, Mathar.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at the counselor:: CNS: Explain

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CEO*: Bridge here.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CMO ::whispers::  It would make them feel better

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: shakes head :: XO: Sir, I can't get any meaningful readings from the tricorder either.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods:: CIV: Right.  I can do that.  I'm supposed to.  My job. ::stands shakily::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: An entity has been speaking to my mind, and perhaps the CEO's, saying specific words to try and indicate something was arriving here. It referred to this thing as "He." I believe His arrival is causing all these acts.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: Earlier, another entity, or perhaps the same, tried to turn you all on me and Lahn because we were "listeners" ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::now shouting:: *FCO/CNS* Look above the ship, for something... I don't know what!  ::realizes he might sound mad::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::stands and helps out as best he can in Sickbay::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
*CEO* Lahn, whatever told you "Above" is in the Captain's ready room.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: puts away tricorder, removes phaser from belt ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Damn it we've got the most sophisticated scanning equipment Starfleet has to offer and we can't scan one of our own compartments? CNS: So these are not hallucinations then, rather these beings occupy this space and we're actually overhearing them?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CEO*: Our scans show nothing.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::does what she can in sickbay, wondering if these people were going to disappear in front of her as well::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: I'm afraid so, sir. Nothing about this phenomenon makes any sense at all.

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
XO: I wouldn't say that, sir. I don't know what "He" is, or what "He" wants. But "He's" here, and "He" obviously wants to be noticed. Perhaps we should enter the RR?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: sets phaser to heavy stun, doubting that it will do any good ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::almost feels embarrassed at how logically Raythan is handling the same information:: *CNS* You're saying the Ready Room is above me?  Or someone in there is telling me this... for what reason?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: I agree I've had enough. We're going in. Ready sidearms ::motions to the security team:: Security team: Open the door

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::keeps looking over at Mac to make sure he's still there::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: points phaser at RR door ::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Doors open and the room is empty from what you can see looking in from the Bridge

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks back at the CMO, giving her a playful wink before administering some sedatives to a patient::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: takes out tricorder again, starts another scan ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Un-armed, stands beside the XO, almost anxious to find out what's doing this::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Not surprised that nothing is seen from the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::tenuously looks inside, phaser ready:: Security: move in

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: walks slowly toward RR door to get better coverage of RR with tricorder ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::glad that the bleeding eye thing has stopped.. not as a result of anything done by her staff though.  Were they really bleeding?::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Remains behind cautiously::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
*CEO* Where are you? If you're below the ready room, then that's what the voice means by "Above." Whatever "He" is, "He" has arrived in the ready room, which is above you.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::sees the image of a person out of the corner of  his eye, turn to face them and there is no one there:: Aloud: Who is here! Show yourself!

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::makes sure one crewman is resting, turns back to Rhiannon::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shudders again.  Catching the wink she straightens her spine a little.  She can fall apart later.::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: close to RR door now, tentatively puts tricorder sensor head just inside the doorway ::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Itching to go inside, but tries to hold back::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
Computer: What is my location in relation to the Captain's Ready Room?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Listens with astonishment at the words, sounding all distorted, and echoing, "You are the watchers of tragedy, carrying the Listeners is fate, death will lay before you, beneath a rain of tears"::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::"In the place of old sadness will rule"::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: glances at XO, startled :: XO: Sir.... you're bleeding!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::goes all the way inside the ready room:: CSO: What are you talking about?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::takes another deep breath as the last of those in sickbay are sedated::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Silently:: He left.
