Episode: "The Return of Evil"
 
Summary: While on the surface of Vellaos, the CTO continues attempting to repair the pattern enhancers, and the crew continues to search for the Anderson family so that they may all evacuate before whatever or whoever is killing everyone finds them. Unknown to them, that an old enemy will make an unexpected reunion with the crew of the Quirinus.

Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: The Quirinus AT is trapped on the surface amidst various dead. The Girls of Mercy are prancing around somewhere ... their Matron leading them. And the Andersons remain missing. Their lives in the hands of the Quirinus crew...

RESUME MISSION
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Stands at the edge of the mist, waiting...watching::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::works and wipes his forehead of sweat::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::gets a cup of coffee from the bridge replicator and finds a seat at Mission Ops I....fumbling around with the console::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Quirinus remains in orbit of Vellaos.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I am almost done, without further delay we should be able to get back up to the ship without haste
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: Furiously tapping commands into his tricorder, linking all of the away team tricorders into a sensor net ::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The away team hears a familiar giggling, and a glimpse of a plaid skirt can be seen through the mist ... and then nothing.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Captain, with all due respect to the Lieutenant... we must find the Anderson family before we leave.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Affirmative, but any ideas on how to locate them.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Screaming is heard in the distance.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: looks up suddenly, stricken :: CO: I believe we need only follow that sound, Captain.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::tinkers a little more and fixes it:: CO: I have the transporters repaired but we can only go up or down one at a time
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::boop...beep....blip.......er......boop boop.....::  Damn LCARS....::bloop, bleep::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: With me.  Telarus: Continue working on the enhancers.  I would suggest you try to get other enhancers beamed here.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Heads out into the mist in the direction of the scream::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: MacTavish its Telarus, do you copy?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The screaming has ended. But it wasn't cut off, which suggests some hope.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir. We should take at least three tricorders with us. I have them networked, and with three we stand a good chance of locating the Andersons.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: takes Pangborn's tricorder from him, and follows Sulek ::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::puts the coffee cup down and fumbles for the comm link activate key....er....there it is...*boop* ::  *CTO*  MacTavish here
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Moving through the mists, the CO & CSO only find more bodies positioned in peculiar ways.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Hey see you in the big chair, you know who would kill you if he saw you
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::squints as he looks at the console readings::  Er......eh?  Uhmmm....Pattern Enhancer #3 is coming online...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Hey anyways I need a security team and transporter enhancers down here ASAP we have a bigger emergency than expected
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO*  Looks like we're getting a pulse on Pattern Enhancer 3....
Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. JG at OPS> @ CIV: Sir, the data request the Captain made earlier has come through in regard to the rituals.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: working the master tricorder scanning controls :: CO: I'm trying to isolate human bio signs in hopes of finding the Andersons, sir...
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::rituals?  Well, that explains that::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: I have repaired some of them not number 3 though let me relay that to the Captain
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CO*: Sir someone is activating pattern enhancer number 3 I haven't repaired that one though it's about a few clicks NE from your position sir
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *CTO*:  I'll get another team down there - do you need medical personnel?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
::tricorder begins to twitter softly :: CO: Sir! Human bio signs -- about 27 meters ahead!
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Yeah, just incase send down a medical officer while we have the window open we may have injuries, and thanks for the other stuff
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: tightens grip on phaser ::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
@ ::Sits in sickbay::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::closes the channel and then fumbles through the LCARS...Internal Security alert...no....Security Team...bingo.....dispatches a security team to TR1:: .
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ *Medical*  Sickbay, Bridge, do you read me?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus* Contact the ship and try to block that enhancers transmission.  Kraight and I will see who's there.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
@ *CIV_LT_MacTavish*: Yes sir loud and clear.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Block transmission from enhancer number 3, immediately it might be the culperate trying to escape
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: We need to make a slight alteration in our course.  Someone is trying to use another enhancer.  It might be the Andersons.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus* Transmit exact coordinates of enhancer.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::thinks...Sir?::  *MO*  The Away Team is in need of medical assistance.  Report to Transporter Room 1 for an immediate away team service
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Sir, the human bio signs have not moved. Should we not determine if any of the Andersons are alive at those coordinates?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: How you doing, hey I got some good news your getting an MO <G>
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::punches a few buttons::  Transporter Enhancer 3 disabled.....::mutters::  I think
MO_Ens_Munro says:
@ *CIV* I'm on my way.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: I need coordinates relayed to the Captain for enhancer three
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: A laser beam lances out and slices the CSO's leg in a ghastly manner.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
::grimaces:: Agh! :: falls ::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::keeps an eye out:: CTO: A new MO huh?, someone else to boss around?, a minion?  How fun!
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::jaw drops for a moment::  Er....right....::flips a few keys, scans through some LCARS interfaces::.....*CTO*  Routed to the Captain's Tricorder
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the CSO hits the ground, he finds himself staring at the feet of a young girl ... its one of the Girls of Mercy. She stands there, hands behind her back, with a smile on her face.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::begins to collect supplies and heads out the door towards the transporter room::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sees the CSO fall and moves to him firing his phaser in the general direction of the other fire:: Kraight:  It appears now, that the decision has been made for us.  We must get you back to the ship.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Picks the CSO up and moves toward the transmitted coordinates::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: stares at the Girl ::
Host SM_Selan says:
<Girl of Mercy> ::Watches the phaser fire rush off in the opposite direction:: CSO: You should be careful where you step ... ::Said in the politest terms::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Thanks
Host SM_Selan says:
<Girl of Mercy> ::Watches the CO lift the CSO up and run. Calls out:: CO / CSO: Oh, don't leave just yet! We haven't finished. We still want to play with your ears ...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Quirinus*: The CSO has been hit...::sees the girl and fires a stun shot at her::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::continues moving away::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
@ ::enters transporter room one and steps onto the pad lightly feeling the uncertainty of everything::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The giggling seems to follow as the phaser fire lances out. The giggling ends. Whether or not the girl was hit remains a mystery as the CO / CSO move deeper into the mist.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::hears phaser fire:: *CO* Report sir
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::keeps watching and scanning the mists, getting the heebies::  CTO: You just about done?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
:: fumbles with phaser, manages one shot at the Girl over the Captain's shoulder, before losing sight of her in the mists ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus* CSO Kraight has been hit.  I'm taking him to the enhancer.  I have fired on one of the Girls but do not know if I hit her.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CO*  Understood....
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: I have the Transporters ready for one person at a time that's the best and I am interfacing the new pattern enhancers
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: More screaming from behind the CO / CSO ... the direction they were originally moving toward.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods:: CTO: That's enough to get the CSO back then.  Get it ready.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
@ ::Beams down onto surface::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
Security Teams: Box formation run to the CSO and Captain's location now, hustle!
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::torn between leaving Telarus alone and heading out to find the CSO::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::startled sees another figure suddenly arrive:: MO: Who the hell... and wha...?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: I know you want to go, but I don't want you to go out alone, I will send you with a security team don't worry about me
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::sees the MO and draws a phaser:: MO: Identify yourself ::looks at pips:: Ensign
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CTO: I'm Ensign Munro I have been asked to help with medical assistance.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::hits the CTO's arm:: CTO: You shoot my new MO and you'll be scheduled for the cold gloved physicals for weeks!!!
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
MO: Nice to meet you, Munro.  I'm Lieutenant Commander Morgan... this is Telarus... and don't go into the mists alone!
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Hey you don't know it could be an illusion
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CTO: May I ask why sir?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: We have a killer or killers on the loose
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::pokes the MO and then glares at the CTO:: CTO: See?  She's real.  Deal with it.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rolls her eyes::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives with the CSO at enhancer 3::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CTO: Understood. ::She says nodding her head::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Figures suddenly rush out of the mists to Enhancer #3 also ... the Anderson family, apparently.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Thank you, sir.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Looks at the CMO in wonder::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: I know you are the ranking officer but I am asking you to stay here and guard the transporter site with the security detail I am leaving here while I take the MO to the Captain and Kraight
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smiles grimly at the MO::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::seeing no one around:: *Quirinus* enable enhancer 3.  Emergency beam out CSO ::sees the Andersons:: and a very important family.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Come with me I need to get you to the Chief Science Officer, we have an injury they cut off an extremity.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CTO: Wait and see if the CSO and CO get beamed back first.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Andersons: Please stand by for beam out.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Moves toward the CTO::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Andersons look terrified, and are looking back behind them ... as if expecting something.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: Sir... you've encountered these Girls of Mercy before, I take it. Do they have any known shape shifting or illusory abilities?
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Begins walking by the CTO's side::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::hmmm...checks...whoops, never actually turned it off....I wonder what I disabled::  *CO*  Understood.....::nods at OPS::  *CO*  Oh, OPS has reported that the data request you made earlier has come through in regards to some sort of rituals
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Draw your phaser, trust me ::sounds imperative::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::growls under her breath at once more being ignored by the CTO.  She's seriously going to have to hurt him in not fun ways::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Draws phaser gripping it tightly::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus*: We have the Andersons and are at enhancer 3.   It is operational.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::keeps scanning the mists::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
CO: If so, the Andersons should be held until we can determine that they *are* the Andersons.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight:  No time.  I will tell you of our constructed assassins later.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Activate enhancer three, authorization Telarus 11 Alpha
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<OPS_LtJG_Phipps>  ::activates the transporters::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Agreed.  *Quirinus* Beam Andersons to containment area in sickbay.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CTO: Do you know what caused the CSO's injuries?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CSO & the Andersons are beamed up. The moment afterwards, multiple lasers lance the area ... slicing the enhancer into multiple pieces, destroying the CO's phaser, and hitting him in the kneecaps, bringing him to the ground.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Not as of yet
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::picks up the pace:: MO: Let's hurry up they might not have much time
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Continues to walk not liking the fog::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The trio of Mercy Girls appears from the mists around the Captain. The Matron speaks from the mists, "You people certainly are an interfering lot."
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he falls:: *Telarus* I've ...been hit. Emergency....  ::trails off::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Begins heading faster to keep up with the CTO::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::looks at the MO:: MO: Run!!!
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks up at the Girls:: To the Matron's voice: Why are ...you...here...
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: One of the girls walks up the Captain, and presses a device up against his head, "I could have you killed right now. But that would require time which your crew is not providing me. Personally, I do want my girls to have all the enjoyment of removing certain appendages ... but alas, we are not afforded that luxury."
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*Team*: The Captain has been hit all teams prepare to beam away.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks down at the security guys messing with the enhancers:: Sec: Don't suppose you'd hurry this up a bit and get us the heck outta here?
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The voice - "You're smart. You'll figure that out." The Girls step away, and disappear into the mists along with the Matron.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*Security Teams*: Head to Captain's location ASAP
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Quirinus* Emergency beam out.  *Telarus* get out of here as soon as possible...
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::hears the comm. to the security group she's with and moves out with them:: *CTO*: What the heck is going on?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::arrives at the CO's location and sees the group not recognizing them:: MO: Stop here we don't want them to see us yet
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::runs with 'em, two steps for every one of theirs::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::is fighting to remain conscious::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Stops immediately still gripping her phaser tight::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CMO*: Get back to the ship now, I can't make it an order but do it please.
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: stumbles off transporter pad, favoring the wounded leg ::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
MO: Shoot to kill
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The promised shuttle swoops into the area over the CO & co.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::arrives in time to see the CO lying on the ground and ignores the CTO completely::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::sets phaser to kill and opens fire::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Sets phaser to Max::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Begins firing::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::drops down next to him:: CO: Hand on sir. ::starts working frantically::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::reads sensor reports of weapons fire on the planet...phasers::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::turns back and sees the CMO:: CMO: Oh god now your joining the fight.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CTO & MO find that their targets have seemingly vanished.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Stops firing and begins uneasily looking from side to side::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Beams us all up now, every last thing too we don't want to leave any equipment behind that whoever this is could use
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::administers morphenolog for the pain, wincing in sympathy::
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO/MO: Move quickly they will be back
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The shuttle, having monitored the conversation between the AT and the Quirinus, beams up the AT, and immediately begins an ascent toward the ship.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::beams up to the shuttle as he runs toward the CO::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::still ignoring the CTO, focused on the CO::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CTO*:  We do not have a transporter lock.....Shuttlecraft Troy will extract you
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::reaches up and touches her shoulder:: Morgan: need info on ritual of positioning of the body...that's the key......
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Shuttlecraft pierces the mists and moves toward the glimmering Steamrunner Class starship which is the home of this valiant crew.
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CIV*: Don't worry we are on the Shuttle already and we are getting out of here
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
*CTO*  Roger Troy, we read you 5 X 5
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CO: You know some people don't go to such lengths to visit with me.  Sometimes they just stop by and say hello... ::keeps working::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Kneels down next to the CMO::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: gestures to Andersons :: Group: Please, step down off the pad. I'll have someone escort you to Sickbay.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
 Morgan: You humor is -- if you will forgive the obvious -- appreciated but unnecessary for this patient.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods at the MO:: MO: Hope you didn't want to be eased into anything...
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
 ::looks back:: CO: Are you ok sir?
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: taps comm. badge :: COMM: Security team to Transporter Room Three.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Looks at the CMO:: CMO: What do you mean?
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CO: I guess that’s true.  Habit, I suppose.  I think it calms me more then anyone, Sir. ::smiles wanly as she works at dealing with the knees::
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Andersons, somewhat shell-shocked, comply with the CSO's "orders."
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
MO: Grab some of the dermaline gel and see to the phaser burns.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the Shuttle Troy docks with its precious cargo.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ <SecTeam Petty Officer Blake>  COMM: Kraight:  We read you Lt, on our way....
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus:  Have all information on the ritual positioning of the bodies downloaded to stations...I believe it holds the answer...
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Gets up grabbing the necessary supplies than goes to the patient working swiftly::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: How long before I am fit for the Bridge?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Aye
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::bites her tongue to keep from retorting with a "When you can walk again" smarty pants comment::
CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
 ::slumps against the bulkhead, waiting for medical help to arrive::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CO: Shortly.
Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Medical aid arrives for the CSO.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: What does the information say?
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
MO: Thanks.  Sorry.  I meant I hoped you weren't looking to be eased into things around here.  There are only two real speeds here.  Emergency and Oh bloody hell!
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CMO: I understand. ::She says giving a grin::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CO: I want you check out in sickbay to make sure we have you sorted out first before I let you out of my claws…I mean…Before you head to the bridge.  ::adds a 'Sir' for good measure::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::winks:: MO: We're going to get along just fine.
MO_Ens_Munro says:
::Again a smile at the CMO then continues working::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Doctor: I may not be able to walk, but I can still think.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smiles sweetly:: CO: Fantastic, Sir.  Glad to hear it.  Guess you can use your comm. badge still then. ::so not giving in::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
MO: Would you mind seeing the Captain to sickbay and making sure he gets checked out before releasing him?
CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: The Ritual of the Assassin calls for the slaughtering of 178 people, and then properly positioned so that their "souls" would be properly transferred as a price for his re-emergence. There were only 174 dead ... 4 short ... the Andersons.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::goes back to his coffee....Chocolate Raspberry....nummy::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::looks for his biscotti::
MO_Ens_Munro says:
CMO: I would be more than happy to sir. ::She than begins to walk with the captain::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Doctor, your ministrations are appreciated.  But I have a feeling that we must stop this before it can spread.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods:: Self: Sir?  I could get used to that.
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::There we go....Chocolate dipped, Chocolate-Chip Biscotti::
CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::swirls it in his coffee::
Host SM_Selan says:
