Scorpius 10004.15   Episode 1  In the End....

<<<<<<Begin mission>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
::on the bridge waiting for the inventory results::

CMO_Xye says:
::Sits studying bio-genesis alone in his quarters::

CEO_AQilla says:
::checking inventory in Engineering::

MO_Siatty says:
::Prepares sickbay emergency systems.::

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, I think I was one of the few people that the pirates didn't steal from.  Somehow they missed my quarters, or else my cat scared them silly::grins::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Should I know what your cat is?

MO_Siatty says:
::Opens channel to monitor Bridge activity on Computer screen.::

FCO-Starr says:
XO: She is a siamese temple cat.  She is rather protective!

CMO_Xye says:
::Rubbing kitten and looking at old notes from 23rd Century::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Good thing.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Yes Sir, only Jen over there::points to the security:: is the only one that can enter my quarters and not be attacked.

FCO-Starr says:
::looks at Jen who is smiling::

FCO-Starr says:
Jen:  Would you say she is friendly?

CMO_Xye says:
::Sits down research and goes to replicate cat food::

FCO-Starr says:
<Jen> FCO: She is to me Troi, but I wouldn't want to be the one she attacked::grinning from ear to ear::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Can you access the navigational logs?

CMO_Xye says:
Computer: Xye Fish One... please.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Checking now sir.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: When you can, backtrack from where the Mississippi encountered the ship to from where the ship came.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, whoever did this, did a complete job.  There are no records whatsoever::frowning::

MO_Siatty says:
::Wonders if he will ever recover his Hor'gahn.::

FCO-Starr says:
XO: The only data I have is from the Scorpius leaving SB 64.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Is the warp or ion trail still evident?

CMO_Xye says:
::Grabs materialized cat food and sets it in front of Fox (his kitten)::

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, there have been so many ships through this area, it will be difficult to tell whose warp belongs to whom.

FCO-Starr says:
XO:: There are no signatures that could tell me which ship intercepted the Scorpius.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I find that highly unlikely.  Each ship has its own unique signature.  We should follow our own trail to where it ended.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: I believe the XO had to compensate for a phase variance when locating the Scorpius.  Could this make the ion trail more distinguishable?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, what I mean is they are all federation signatures.  Nothing out of the normal.

CMO_Xye says:
::Watches kitten eat cat food::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Perhaps Captain, let me check.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: You think that'll work, ma'am?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We couldn't find you guys with phase variances.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: There's a chance.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: There always is.

CMO_Xye says:
::Steps in front of replicator:: Chilled milk... fresh.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, I can not detect anything like that, but perhaps the logs of the shuttle might give us some answers.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Wouldn't hurt.

MO_Siatty says:
::Goes over sickbay medical supplies, making sure everything was replaced.::

CO_TPaula says:
XO/FCO: By all means, check them.

CMO_Xye says:
::Puts chilled milk in second bowl next to eating kitten::

FCO-Starr says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: You want to go down there or shall I sir?

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Access them from here.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Aye Sir::connects the console to the shuttle's computer::

MO_Siatty says:
*XO*: Anyone consider why the ship was returned?  They could have killed us all and stolen it.

CMO_Xye says:
::Watches kitten slowly drink milk lick by lick::

XO_VanSickle says:
*MO* Maybe this isn't in the perp's MO.

CMO_Xye says:
::Checks small console in quarters for medical emergencies::

MO_Siatty says:
*XO* But why leave a warship with reason to hunt you down?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, there is a small trace here, and with this info, I think a trip to stellar cartography might help us.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Engineering to Bridge.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* VanSickle here.

CMO_Xye says:
::No Medical Emergencies found::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Sir, we've completed our inventory of what was stolen.  I'll bring it to the Bridge.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Bring it to stellar cartography.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, I am still suffering from a slight headache, could I have the MO come up here and give me an injection?

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Aye, Sir

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Certainly.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO/FCO: Maybe we should reconvene there?

CMO_Xye says:
::Thinks to self:: I never should have done most my work five days ahead::

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves ME and enters TL::

FCO-Starr says:
*MO*: Siatty, could you come to the bridge.  I am still having headaches and would appreciate something to stop the pain.

MO_Siatty says:
*FCO*: Certainly.  Be right there.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Actually, we should be getting to stellar cartography, wouldn't you think?

FCO-Starr says:
*MO*: Thank you. Starr out.

MO_Siatty says:
::Leaves sickbay, enters TL, and heads for bridge.::

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, I will be there shortly if you don't mind, this headache is getting worse and I need a clear head.

CMO_Xye says:
::Is feeling a strange sensation some would refer to as irritation::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Very well.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Understood.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: After you, captain?

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Lt. Smith, please report to the bridge.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Aye Maam

MO_Siatty says:
::Exits TL, enters Bridge.::

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves SC for main bridge::

MO_Siatty says:
FCO:Allright, Headaches still bothering you?  Lets see what's up with that.

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters TL:: Computer:  Main bridge

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Drop off that inventory near my chair.

MO_Siatty says:
::Scan FCO with medical tricorder.::

FCO-Starr says:
MO: Yes, it seems to be like a band across my head.... it is really hurting.

CEO_AQilla says:
::arrives on bridge::

CMO_Xye says:
::Taps comm badge:: *CO*: Do any of you require assistance... it doesn't have to be medical?

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: You have the bridge.  ::leaves for stellar cartography::

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Aye, Maam.  ::Sits in Captains chair::

XO_VanSickle says:
::follows::

FCO-Starr says:
MO: Are you picking up anything?

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves inventory in XO's chair::

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: I'm fine, doctor.  Everyone else looks fine too.

FCO-Starr says:
::begins to reach down for her med kit::

MO_Siatty says:
FCO: It appears you have mild concussion.  With all the confusion after the Transporter Buffers, I must have missed it.

FCO-Starr says:
MO: Please fix it as the CO and XO are waiting on me.

MO_Siatty says:
::Administers hypospray injection to treat pain.::

FCO-Starr says:
MO: And yes I know, I will get plenty of rest and do nothing strenuous::smiles at him::

CMO_Xye says:
::Plans to go over all 5000 pages of research a sixth time::

MO_Siatty says:
FCO: That should clear it up so you can work.  I suggest you come to sickbay after your shift  to make sure your OK. ::Smiles Back::

FCO-Starr says:
MO: As soon as the CO gives me permission, I will be there, and thanks!

MO_Siatty says:
FCO: No problem.  I'll see you later.

FCO-Starr says:
Lt Galden: Take over the helm.

FCO-Starr says:
<Lt Galden>: FCO: Aye Maam.

CMO_Xye says:
::Looks at notes... there are actually 10000 pages::

MO_Siatty says:
::Heads back to sickbay, kicking himself for not doing full scan on a senior officer.::

FCO-Starr says:
::gets out of her chair and walks to the TL::

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops on the SC deck::

FCO-Starr says:
TL: Stellar cartography.

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks down corridor to SC::

CO_TPaula says:
::also walks down corridor to SC::

FCO-Starr says:
::feels the headache begin to ease and exits the TL::

FCO-Starr says:
::sees the CO and XO up ahead::

MO_Siatty says:
::Arrives on Deck 9 and proceeds to sickbay.::

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters SC, followed by the CO::

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Systems on.

CMO_Xye says:
::Does medical check up on kitten::

CO_TPaula says:
::looks at the display and crosses her arms::

FCO-Starr says:
::walks into SC:: CO: Have you begun yet Maam?

XO_VanSickle says:
::turns to FCO::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: We just got here, Commander.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Maam, shall I load the program from the shuttle?

FCO-Starr says:
:;walks over to the console::

MO_Siatty says:
::Enters Sickbay.::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Of course.

CMO_Xye says:
::Gets message over console::

FCO-Starr says:
::begins d/ling the program and shows the results on the screen::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, see that line there, that is where the XO met the Scorpius.

CO_TPaula says:
::nods::

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at the display::

MO_Siatty says:
::Walks to Desk and gets a Sluggo Cola.::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: And the closest line to the Scorpius is that one over there, although it has faded.  Perhaps that is the one.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Is that line the course the ship took when I encountered her?

MO_Siatty says:
Med Tech:  It's slow here.  Why don't you go to the medical labs and check the status of the experiments.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: But there is nothing that I can see that directly connects any warp signature to the S.

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> Dr. Xye. We have a medical emergency in the holodeck. Someone cut off safety protocols and was attacked by angry Klingons.

CMO_Xye says:
::Turns around to see a man talking:: Marks: I didn't see you come in.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Let me bring the trails in closer and see if there is anything we have missed.

MO_Siatty says:
*CMO*: Dr. Xye? Just checking in.  Sickbay is quiet.  No action so I sent the Med Tech to check on the Med Labs.

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> Dr. Xye. Please come quickly.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Could you extrapolate anything using a phase variance and searching a three-hour wide circle?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Perhaps Sir, but that will take some time...

FCO-Starr says:
::begins inputting the commands for the XO's request::

CMO_Xye says:
*MO*: I will have to speak to you a little later... we appear to have a Klingon attack. Would you like to join me?

MO_Siatty says:
*CMO*: Klingon attack?  Must be the holodeck.  I'll meet you there momentarily.

MO_Siatty says:
::Grabs med kit.::

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> Doctor... he didn't look good when I left.

MO_Siatty says:
Nurse Veridia: Let us know if anything comes up.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Has this ship encountered anyone who has personal grudges with this crew?

MO_Siatty says:
::Leaves sickbay and heads to turbolift.::

CMO_Xye says:
Lt_Marks: Lets transport there... takes time off running there.

MO_Siatty says:
TL: Deck 8, Holodecks.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, the area indicated here, shows 4 systems and a very dense asteroid field.  These are the best possibilities the computer can come up with per your specs.

MO_Siatty says:
::Leaves TL and heads for Holodeck.::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Good. Progress.

CMO_Xye says:
Computer: Site to site transport me and Marks to Holodeck 5.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Shall we check them out one by one Sir?  If I were hiding, I think the best choice would be the asteroids.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Can you find any non-Federation warp signatures?

CO_TPaula says:
XO: There is a certain Cardassian pirate we've encountered repeatedly.  In fact, he has refrained from destroying us before.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Oh?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Checking...

CMO_Xye says:
::materializes in Holodeck 5 with Marks beside him::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Who is this scoundrel?

FCO-Starr says:
::begins running the warp trails through the computer::

MO_Siatty says:
::Arrives at Holodeck and enters.::

MO_Siatty says:
CMO:Dr. Xye.  Let me guess, safety protocols shut off?

CMO_Xye says:
::Looks at Siatty:: MO: Yes.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Gul Sur, I believe he was called.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Gul Sur, eh?

MO_Siatty says:
::Shakes head at foolish behavior.::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: You know much about this Gul Sur?

CO_TPaula says:
XO: That's right.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: Sir, there are many signatures, Klingons for one, but since it has been a week since we were there, I wouldn't bet my pay on any particular choice.

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> We left the program on... he should be in the Academy Fighting Hall.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: No sir, that was before my time, but I have read some info about him from the ships logs.

MO_Siatty says:
*Nurse Veridia*: Prepare trauma unit.  Probable dismemberment treatment.

CMO_Xye says:
::Raises eye brow:: Marks: You left it on?

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Can you take that information and try to figure out where he might be?

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Perhaps we should shut it down?  Quickly?

FCO-Starr says:
CO: From what I read Maam, it seemed he really liked your ex-Captain, but that is just a guess.

MO_Siatty says:
Computer: End Program!

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> We kept on because the nurses here were trying to treat him.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: As I said Sir, if I had to hide, I would choose the asteroids... all the metal in there would play havoc with the sensors.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Check there, first, then try the closest of the four planets.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: That could put us at a disadvantage or not.  If it was him.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Then after that, the furthest away.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: From all that I have read though, this seems to be what he has done before.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, do I have permission to return to the bridge to plot a course for the asteroids?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO/FCO: It seems this ship has a proverbial thorn in her side.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Yes.  Please do.  XO: Thorn?

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Yes Maam, oh and by the way Captain, was he the one at the party?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: It's an Earth saying.  Something or someone that is a persistent irritation is said to be a thorn in one's side.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: But I believe he was disguised.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Yes, he was.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: I see.

MO_Siatty says:
::As program shuts down, sees injured crewman.::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Then I have met him, so he would know what I look like.

FCO-Starr says:
CO:  See you on the bridge Maam::turns and leaves::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: When was this "party," ma'am?

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: There he is.  Injuries look serious.

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> His arm looked like it was separated and his bone was bent to aim at his leg. I assume that is a bad thing right.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Halloween.

FCO-Starr says:
*CEO*: I am on my way to the bridge.

CEO_AQilla says:
*FCO*:  Understood

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Oh.  I was still on the Elara at that time.

CMO_Xye says:
Marks: A very bad thing.

FCO-Starr says:
::enters the TL and heads to the bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: He wouldn't know me then.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: That's right.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Is there anything else or shall we return to the bridge?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We should return to the bridge.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Lets get him to sickbay.  Unless...    Computer: Create Holomedical bed.

CO_TPaula says:
::leaves for bridge::

FCO-Starr says:
::exits the TL: CEO: Hows the chair?::grinning::

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Comfortable.  ::grins back::

FCO-Starr says:
Lt Galden: You stand relieved, I have the helm.

XO_VanSickle says:
::follows::

FCO-Starr says:
<Lt Galden>: FCO: I stand relieved, and you have the helm::returns to her place near the wall::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Wise choice.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Lets get him on bed.

FCO-Starr says:
::takes her seat::  CEO: Well, it is almost as comfortable as mine::laughing:: How ya been Aquilla?

CEO_AQilla says:
::laughs back:: FCO:  I've been great except for a small dose of Romulan Flu.

FCO-Starr says:
::begins inputting the course for the asteroid field::

CO_TPaula says:
::arrives on bridge:: FCO: What's our ETA?

CMO_Xye says:
::Grabs hurt crewman gently... sets him on bed::

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: My God, just kept that to yourself!

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves Captain's chair::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: ETA 30 minutes.

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters bridge, goes to XO's seat and removes PADD the CEO put there::

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Almost over it.  Not contagious anymore.

FCO-Starr says:
::glancing at her console::

CO_TPaula says:
::takes her chair::

MO_Siatty says:
Computer: Create Viewscreen to monitor Bridge activity.

XO_VanSickle says:
::takes look at PADD::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Umm... Why are you spying on the bridge?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I have the inventory from A'Quilla.

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes to bridge engineering station::

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Are we still on for dinner later?

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: If we know what is happening we can be more prepared for the consequences.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Summarize it for me.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Whoever took over the ship stole most of the photon torpedoes and some warp plasma.

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  You bet

CO_TPaula says:
XO: I see.

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Good, Jen will be joining us also::and nods in her direction::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Okay... I have my medkit... how about you?

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Tonight sound good to you

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Has all the items in the inventory been replaced?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Yes sir.  They were replaced at SB

FCO-Starr says:
CEO: Yes, and we need to bring Angel a thick steak, as she protected my quarters!

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

MO_Siatty says:
CMO: Grabbed an emergency med kit on my way out.

<<<<<<<<<Scorpius enters the area of the Asteroid Field>>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at view screen at asteroids::

FCO-Starr says:
CO; We are now in the asteroid area.

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  I'll replicate her one nice, thick, fillet

XO_VanSickle says:
CO/FCO: Looks like a good place to hide.

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Route sensors to your station.  Any readings?

CMO_Xye says:
::Opens medkit and pulls out dermal regenerator and pain relief hypospray::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: It is densely populated with asteroids, I wouldn't like to take the S in there unless I have to.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Hold this position.

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Sensors show sporadic energy readings, maam

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Maam, holding position:;brings the S to a dead stop::

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Could it be a ship or an installation?

CMO_Xye says:
<Lt_Marks> Umm... what do I do? I know. ::Cuts on ER the TV show music::

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  It seems to be coming from the middle of the field

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We could send a couple of shuttles or runabouts through there with as many armaments as they could carry.  Troi could take one and I could take the other.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  What about a probe?

FCO-Starr says:
::grins at the XO's statement::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: As bait?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: No ma'am.  To flush them out.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I've been known as a good pilot back on the Elara.

FCO-Starr says:
CO/XO: Perhaps since we have energy signatures, we might raise shields?

CMO_Xye says:
::Injects him with pain relief hypospray and begins to scan for ruptured arteries::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Good idea.  Implement it.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: ::referring to Troi's statement:: Sounds like a good idea to raise shields.

FCO-Starr says:
::raises shields:: CO: Shields are now raised.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: I also like the idea of a probe.  CEO: Are these readings localized in any particular area?

MO_Siatty says:
::Sets up a blood transfusion unit to replace lost blood.::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Yes Maam, I can send one when you are ready::prepares a probe::

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  No Maam.  The readings are too sporadic to get a precise location

<<<<As Scorpius raises the shields.....the power increase seems to cause the scanners to sense movement coming towards Scorpius>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
::Uses dermal regenerator to close ripped arteries and to somewhat repair totally separated arteries::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, sensors detect movement towards the Scorpius.

FCO-Starr says:
::checking to see who it is::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Movement of what?

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Undetermined ...

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We may have disturbed the nest.

<<<<<<<Three photon torpedoes materialize off the port bow.....and Explode......Scorpius' power goes out !!!>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Maam, I suggest we get out of here now, before it is too late!

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Emergency lights.

CMO_Xye says:
::Looks at view screen:: MO: Movement to the ship... is it the pirates?

MO_Siatty says:
::Grabs light from med kit.::

CEO_AQilla says:
::activates emergency lighting::
