XO_VanSickle says:
::on bridge::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The U.S.S. Scorpius NCC-50666 is en route to Starbase 595, which is on the edge of sector 042992, the Arkonn Sector.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::also on bridge::  FCO: ETA to SB595

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Somewhat of a homecoming for me, ma'am.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  2 minutes

OPS_Russel says:
::At his station, on the bridge.::

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: You served on a ship that frequented this starbase?

CSO_Shiar says:
::At station::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: The Elara.

CEO_AQilla says:
::in ME checking systems::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: This is a rather unstable area politically.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: An engineer with a severe cut in his leg, apparently injured himself in a jefferies tube enters Sickbay in need of some assistance... HINT HINT Dr. Xye.

CMO_Xye says:
::in sickbay giving Nurse Veridia a physical:: Veridia: You are pretty healthy.

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Hm.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: The natives of this sector, known as Arkonns, have been at civil war since around the Dominion War.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  We are here

CIV_Meghan says:
::In her office correlating data on stress and the various effects it has on crewmembers::

FCO_Vince says:
::drops out of warp::

CMO_Xye says:
::runs to the hurt engineer:: Veridia: I'm finished with you... let's take of the engineer.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Scorpius drops out of warp in Starbase 595's system.

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Request permission to dock.

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Aye.

CMO_Xye says:
::helps the engineer to a biobed:: Engineer: What happened?

CSO_Shiar says:
::scans area::

Host AGM_Selan says:
VIEWSCREEN: The large Buckingham Class starbase doesn't even loom, just sort of hovers, on the viewscreen... glistening in the light of the stars.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Engineer> CMO: Came around a corner in the jefferies tubes a bit fast, caught my leg.

OPS_Russel says:
::Opens channel to starbase 595.:: COMM: SB 595:  This is the USS Scorpius requesting permission to dock.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Looks like they repaired my little, ahem, "accident."

Host CO_TPaula says:
::looks at the XO with one eyebrow half raised::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Starbase 595> @ COM: SB 595: We read you Scorpius, permission to dock granted. Docking Bay 5 is awaiting you.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Long story.

CMO_Xye says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Engineer: You should be more careful. I'll scan that. ::pulls out medical tricorder::

FCO_Vince says:
::engages impulse engines to DB5::

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  We are clear to dock.  Docking Bay 5.

CMO_Xye says:
<Veridia> CMO: I'll get the leg brace if he needs it.

CSO_Shiar says:
::imagines what XO may have done::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Take us in.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: The Scorpius glides through the doors into Docking Bay 5.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye sir

CIV_Meghan says:
::wonders if she has enough data for a full report, decides to begin a preliminary report instead::

CMO_Xye says:
Engineer: You're Ensign Jude right?

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: There are two Antares Class IV freighters in there as well, dropping off what they have brought.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
<Ensign Jude> CMO: That would be me.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: Beside one of the freighters is a Nebula Class starship, the U.S.S. Elara.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: There she is!

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: May I?

Host Admiral_Poli says:
@ COM: U.S.S. Scorpius: Captain T'paula, I'm afraid I cannot arrive to deliver the needed information... we're having a current problem with some of the Elara crew.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Send the Elara a "hi there"?

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: I don't see any harm.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
@ COM: Scorpius: However, an old "friend" of yours just arrived from Risa... I gave the information to him. Engineering teams are arriving at airlocks to begin the immediate refit, and supplies are going to be beamed into your cargo hold.

CMO_Xye says:
Engineer: You seem to have cracked your femur. Nothing too serious. Veridia: Place him on the biobed. We've got work to do.

Host CO_TPaula says:
COM: Poli: Acknowledged, Admiral.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: The Scorpius glides into it's docking latches, and the aforementioned Eng. teams arrive to begin the necessary refits.

XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send a communiqué to Capt. Harison of the Elara.  Tell him his old FCO is back in town.  Also, send a hello message to the current FCO.

CIV_Meghan says:
::begins checking that examples going to be used are not classified material::

CMO_Xye says:
<Veridia> ::places Ensign Jude properly on the biobed::

OPS_Russel says:
XO:  Understood. ::prepares message and sends it.::

CIV_Meghan says:
::receives the 'all clear' from the computer and begins her report::

CMO_Xye says:
Jude: Now. I am going to use a new tool from Starfleet Medical. It will tickle so restrain yourself from laughter. It will ruin the surgery.

Host Commander_Selan says:
@ ::Exits the Starbase, moving past the quick moving Engineering teams, and onto the Scorpius with a sigh::

Host Commander_Selan says:
@ ::Makes his way down a corridor quickly and into a TL:: TL: Deck One, Bridge.

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Computer> Acknowledged. ::Takes Selan to the bridge::

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Ensign Jude> CMO: Uh... ok.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Exits onto the bridge, PADD in hand::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Smiles at the view of the ol' tactical console::

Host CO_TPaula says:
::turns to see Selan enter::

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks back to see Selan enter:: Selan: Welcome aboard, commander.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Nods:: CO: Captain. ::Nods to XO:: XO: Thank you, Commander.

CMO_Xye says:
::begins to slowly repair the femur:: Veridia: Watch closely. You have to move very slowly making sure the bone is fully repaired before moving on.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Motions to the CO and XO:: CO & XO: Could I speak to you two in the Captain's Ready Room?

CIV_Meghan says:
::realizes she has left some data on the Bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: Captain?

CIV_Meghan says:
::leaves her console and makes her way to the Bridge::

Host CO_TPaula says:
Selan: Of course.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Nods, and quickly moves into the RR with the CO and XO::

XO_VanSickle says:
::follows the captain and Selan::

CIV_Meghan says:
::steps onto the Bridge, looking around at old friends and new acquaintances - stops dead at the site of Selan and lets out a small gasp of pain::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CIV: You have the bridge.

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks back at Nes::

CEO_AQilla says:
::prepares to meet Eng. teams::

CIV_Meghan says:
::wonders if she's going to faint and or die::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Looks at the Trill female for a moment, and then turns and heads back into the RR::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CIV: ... Are you all right, commander?

CMO_Xye says:
::continues surgery:: Jude: It is almost finished. Please restrain yourself.

CIV_Meghan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks puzzled::

CMO_Xye says:
<Veridia> ::watches the CMO very closely::

CIV_Meghan says:
CO: Not really Captain.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Calls from the RR:: CO: ... Captain?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I'll go to the RR.

CIV_Meghan says:
::wonders if she should create a scene::

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters RR::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Go to sickbay if you need to.   ::goes to the RR::

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: Commander, what is keeping the Captain? ::Having taken a seat opposite the desk::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: I think Lt. Cmdr. Nes will be OK.

CIV_Meghan says:
CO: Sorry Captain! ::turns and flees from the Bridge::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the mention of Nes, then remembers that it's the Civilian who received the Nes symbiot, nods:: XO: I hope so.

CSO_Shiar says:
::looks at CIV::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: Our civilian/second officer had something wrong.

CIV_Meghan says:
::cowers against the wall of the TL and wonders where she can hide::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Taps PADD on top of his cane::

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes surgery:: Jude: That was excellent restraint. It is done. But stay off that leg. You have permission to rest in your quarters or the lounge. But stay seated in the lounge.

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: With a wave of Mike's magical Gavel, OPS officer has command of the bridge.

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Nods at T'paula and VanSickle:: CO & XO: I trust all is well with your crew?

CIV_Meghan says:
::realizes her actions are childish and as such should return to the Bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: So far so good.

CIV_Meghan says:
::the churning of her stomach convinces her to stay where she is::

Host CO_TPaula says:
Selan: To the best of my knowledge.

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: Kylie Anne gets a ten out of ten for the dramatic run away scene.

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: How about those parents you helped?

CSO_Shiar says:
:: wanders why CIV acted like she did::

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: They're fine. Intelligence is investigating their connection to the Orion Syndicate.

CMO_Xye says:
::helps Jude off the biobed:: Jude: You are free to go. Ensign... stay off that leg. And I heard your reputation. Stay away from the ladies too.

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: Good to hear.

Host Commander_Selan says:
Both: Anyway, that is not why I am here... ::Stands up, and hands T'paula the PADD he carries:: It appears the Scorpius has been chosen for a deep-space mission of some... importance.

CIV_Meghan says:
::overrides the TL controls and then sinks to the floor in a boneless heap::

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks sternly at Selan:: Selan: Deep space?  Importance?

Host CO_TPaula says:
::accepts the padd::

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: You're going on a search it seems. Commander, what do you know of the Q'Orphod?

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: Not much.

CIV_Meghan says:
::again realizes that in all seriousness Selan is/has gone through feelings worse than hers and that they should talk, wonders if she could kidnap him for a few minutes::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: We encountered them once a while back when I was on the Elara.

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: Fine then, here are the highlights, they're a reptilian species which lives in a liquid environment... over two years ago, three of their fleets passed through our space out of the Beta Quadrant, destroying anything that was in their path.

CIV_Meghan says:
::finally realizes that the churning of her stomach is in fact Nes trying to make his presence known::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan:  Took some fancy flying on my part to get out of there in one piece.

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: So I heard.

CIV_Meghan says:
Nes: Would you stop that! You're going to make me lose my breakfast, lunch and dinner!

CSO_Shiar says:
computer: locate Second Officer Meghan

CMO_Xye says:
::walks to Veridia and grins:: Veridia: Congratulations. You are the new MO of the Scorpius.

Host Commander_Selan says:
Both: Command later learned, as you no doubt both did, that the fleets were on the run from the Bellicose.

Host Commander_Selan says:
Both: Now... it seems, that Command wants to find these fleets... as they are apparently the remains of Q'Orphod civilization.

Host Commander_Selan says:
Both: That's where you... the Scorpius come in.

CIV_Meghan says:
::Nes begins to settle, but not before adding something more to the 'conversation'::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: We're to do a search and recovery?

Host Commander_Selan says:
Both: You are to follow the supposed path calculated by Command's best scientists, which was just transmitted to your computer.

CSO_Shiar says:
<Comp> CSO: Second officer Meghan is in TL1

Host Commander_Selan says:
XO: More like a search and first contact.

CIV_Meghan says:
::realizes she might just throw up anyway::

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Starbase CEO> *Selan* Commander, Admiral Poli wanted us to relay the information that we're done with the refit. Scorpius is ready for anything.

CIV_Meghan says:
::unlocks the TL controls and returns to the Bridge::

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Starbase CEO> *Selan* Oh... and supplies are in too.

CMO_Xye says:
Veridia: i know... we will both miss Doctor Siatty and you can't replace such a man. But you deserve it.

Host Commander_Selan says:
*Starbase CEO* Thank you.

CIV_Meghan says:
::exits the TL looking somewhat green and nods sheepishly at everyone::

Host Commander_Selan says:
CO & XO: Well, then, it looks like you should be underway.

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> CMO: Thank you Jim. I mean Doctor. I will try my best to be as good of an MO as Siatty was.

CIV_Meghan says:
::retrieves the PADD she initially came to the Bridge for::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Stands::

XO_VanSickle says:
::stands::

CIV_Meghan says:
::begins some deep breathing exercises::

Host CO_TPaula says:
::stands too::

Host Commander_Selan says:
CO: Captain... T'paula... be careful out there. We may be trying to help the Q'Orphod... but I've heard the stories about what happened to the New Guinea... when they're desperate, they're dangerous.

CSO_Shiar says:
CIV: are you ok

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: I believe this crew will do its best.

Host CO_TPaula says:
Selan: I'm always careful.

Host Commander_Selan says:
CO & XO: Anyway, I must be on my way... Command has me shipping out to Betazed, something about giving the Cherokee a new paint job... ::Shrugs::

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Smiles at T'paula's comment:: CO: Yeah, I know that. ::Exits onto the Bridge, limping his way with the cane to the TL, nodding at the bridge crew::

XO_VanSickle says:
Selan: As long as it's not pink, like that sub in "Operation Petticoat."

CIV_Meghan says:
::airily waves her hand:: CSO: Oh fine! I've just met my previous Host's lover and the man who belonged to the relationship of a lifetime. Of course I'm fine!

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Hears the female Trill as he moves to the TL, looks at her for a moment, sighs, and then enters the TL::

CSO_Shiar says:
CIV: you don't look it

CIV_Meghan says:
Selan: We're going to talk SOON!

Host Commander_Selan says:
::Hears the Trill as the TL's close, and nods to himself, mumbling:: No doubt about it...

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Are engines online?

CIV_Meghan says:
::wonders if she should use her newfound telepathy on him, wonders what the charges would be for that::

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: As Selan dodges the obviously somewhat PO'd Nes, and exits the ship, Starbase 595 Engineering crews put the finishing touches on the ship, and then the docking latches prepare to unlatch.

CMO_Xye says:
::stares at Nurse Veridia:: Veridia: You remind of Silvia.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Engines are fully operational Captain

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Starbase 595 Operations> @ COM: Scorpius: Scorpius, this is OPS Center, prepare to unlatch.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::sends the course data from the padd to the FCO station::

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes over the changes to make sure she is familiar with them::

CIV_Meghan says:
::decides anger can cure an upset Symbiotic stomach::

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Starbase 595 OPS> @ COM: Scorpius: Scorpius, do you copy?

CMO_Xye says:
<Nurse_Veridia> CMO: You mean... the new Science Officer who was stationed on the Scorpius? The Romulan Vulcan?

OPS_Russel says:
COMM: SB 595:  Acknowledged.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks over the coordinates and prepares a course::

CMO_Xye says:
Veridia: Precisely.

Host Commander_Selan says:
<Starbase 595 OPS> @ COM: Scorpius: Acknowledged.

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: The locks disengage, and the Scorpius is on it's own power.

FCO_Vince says:
::Engages impulse engines:: CO:  Engaging at one quarter impulse::

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: The Starbase Operations crew hear that Commander VanSickle, and frantically get those docking bay doors open.

Host Commander_Selan says:
ACTION: The Scorpius glides out of the Starbase, the crew of the Elara too busy tracking down their missing crewmembers to notice.

CMO_Xye says:
Veridia: She is much more to me than just some Science Officer. She is my first... my last... and my only.

FCO_Vince says:
::pilots the Scorpius smoothly of Spacedock::

CIV_Meghan says:
::understands why Shania used to get annoyed at Selan::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Lay in that course and engage at warp 5 as soon as we're away from the starbase.

CIV_Meghan says:
::pats her stomach:: Nes:: Yes, he is a bit of a handful isn't he!

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: At least the docking bay doors opened on time.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye Captain

FCO_Vince says:
::sets course and engages at warp 5::

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> CMO: Umm... okay Jim. Whatever you say.

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Don't they usually?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Scorpius takes off at Warp 5... for parts unknown.

CIV_Meghan says:
::sighs:: Nes: If only it wasn't strictly forbidden! ::sighs again:: I'd sure help him over his emotional problems.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Sometimes they don't in extreme emergency, like when D’vor are attacking the inside of the station.

Host AGM_Selan says:
TIME WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Cue really cool time warp sequence.

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> CMO: My shift is finished. Check the clock. I'm off to assist my Lieutenant Herrimann with his tactical training in the holodeck.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: It has now been two weeks since the Scorpius left Starbase 595.

CMO_Xye says:
::raises an eyebrow:: MO: Your shift may be over. But you still have to get permission to leave.

XO_VanSickle says:
::at tactical::

CIV_Meghan says:
::having completed her preliminary report she saves it for further study and then returns to the Bridge::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: there's an unknown vessel on SRS, it's coming up beside the Scorpius... intercept in about 2 minutes.

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> ::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Permission to leave Doctor?

FCO_Vince says:
::Wonders what he did to cause time warp::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: What type?

CMO_Xye says:
MO: Granted. And enjoy.

Tisk says:
@ Jisk:  I has been so long in space.  How much longer until we reach our destination?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: unknown

Jisk says:
@::paces the command deck.. letting off annoyed energy:: Tisk: too long

Tisk says:
@ Jisk:  I am glad we have inert cargo this time. otherwise we would be in trouble ::frowns::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A beaten up yellowish vessel is coming up on the Scorpius' side... it's roughly the size of a Bird of Prey, although shaped like a boot.

CIV_Meghan says:
::stands in the background and observes the crew::

CMO_Xye says:
::as Veridia leaves an engineer holding his head enters the sickbay:: Engineer: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

Tisk says:
@Jisk: Why are you pulling along side that ship?

XO_VanSickle says:
::scans the vessel's tactical capacity::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Would you take tactical?

Jisk says:
@::continues to pace with hands behind back.. clicking heels on the deck plating to create noise::  Tisk: what ship? I'm over here?

FCO_Vince says:
::Notices the unknown vessel getting awfully close::

CIV_Meghan says:
CO: Yes ma'am.

Tisk says:
@ Jisk:  Well our ship is near a ship ::runs to the helm::

XO_VanSickle says:
::hands tac control to Nes::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Does it match any data we have on the Q’Orphod?

CIV_Meghan says:
::receives TAC control from XO::

Tisk says:
@::maneuvers the ship on a parallel course;:

Jisk says:
@::stops pacing and looks out the port window and screams:: Tisk: we gonna hit em!!

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: no

FCO_Vince says:
::maneuvers to avoid collision::

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Hail them.

Tisk says:
@Jisk: Calm down, I have it under control!  ::growls at her sister:: Why did you leave the helm?

CMO_Xye says:
<Engineer> CMO: While I was assisting repairs in engineering someone made a loud noise. I popped my head up and hit the console. I fainted but came to with the crew standing over me.

Jisk says:
@Tisk: me?! It was your turn!

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Aye.  ::Hails the ship.::

Tisk says:
@::watches as the old freighter begins to turn::

Tisk says:
@Jisk:  I swear, you have the brains of a tetra!

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Channel open.

Jisk says:
@::jumps off the upped deck and lands close to the main sensor console:: Tisk: someone turned off the prox. sensors.. 

Tisk says:
@Jisk: And I wonder who that was?

CMO_Xye says:
::shakes head at the engineer:: Engineer: James. This is the fifth time you've done it this week. Maybe you should wear a protective helmet when in engineering.

Jisk says:
@::grumbles and realigns the computer displays::

CIV_Meghan says:
::scans the freighter for weapons::

Tisk says:
@::swears that her sister is a blonde::

Host CO_TPaula says:
COM: vessel: Greetings from the Federation Starship Scorpius.  May I ask who you are?

CMO_Xye says:
::begins to scan James' head with medical tricorder::

Jisk says:
@::jumps from the sound and falls out of chair::

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  My apologies captain, but somehow our proximity sensors were turned off.

CIV_Meghan says:
::scans reveal no discernible weapons::

Tisk says:
@::turns and scowls at her sister::

Jisk says:
@Tisk: Tisk! we are close to the dead zone! we gonna turn!

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, both the Scorpius and the other ship drop out of warp... with a big lurch.

Host CO_TPaula says:
COM: vessel: No harm done.

XO_VanSickle says:
::flies forward and flips over rail, landing on feet::

Tisk says:
@::what they hay, and turns to look at her sister:: Jisk: What did you do now?

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: What was that?

Jisk says:
@::runs frantically runs for the engines as the ship lurches::

FCO_Vince says:
::gets momentarily pinned against the helm control::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Unknown Captain

Tisk says:
@::realizes that they have hit an area of space with subspace disturbances::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Find out what caused that.

OPS_Russel says:
::Hits his head on the control panel::

Jisk says:
@::peels self off the wall::  Tisk: we HIT the dead zone.. and it's not my fault!

FCO_Vince says:
::checks over the helm for answers::

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  Captain, you and I have just experienced what we call out here the "dead zone".

CIV_Meghan says:
::looks around at the other crew and thanks Nes for warning her about the gravity shift::

CEO_AQilla says:
::checks engines for damage::

Host CO_TPaula says:
COM: vessel: I'm not familiar with this phenomenon.

Jisk says:
@::feels around face to make sure it's all there and looks down at the engine's relay::

Tisk says:
@ *Jisk*: How are the engines?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Bridge to engineering, are the engines functional?

CMO_Xye says:
::looks at scans:: James: Your head is swollen... and infected with minor radiation. Hmm... that's odd. Radiation.

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius: Captain, it is not an area you want to stay in, believe me.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  No damage to the Engines, Sir.  They're fine.

Jisk says:
@*Tisk*: almost breaching.. containment in at 5%

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* But we can't establish warp or impulse?

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Although, something in the area does seem to be affecting them.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: there are massive subspace disturbances in the area. We cannot enter warp in this or any of the nearby systems. Also there is wreckage, may be Q'Orphod. Distortions are blocking the sigs.

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  We are having engine problems over here, any chance we could get some help before our core goes critical?

CMO_Xye says:
::continues scanning::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Try to get impulse going.

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  I can get the wreckage on screen.

Jisk says:
@::works frantically to re-establish the containment field.. the consoles sparking in annoyance at her efforts::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Impulse engines are functional, though

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Any deleterious effects from these disturbances?  Which direction is the wreckage?

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Please do.

OPS_Russel says:
::Puts the wreckage on screen.::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, do we know if the other ship has impulse drive?  Both of us may be able to get out of this area under impulse.

Host CO_TPaula says:
COM: Vessel: What can we do to help?

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  I am sure you can tell we, er em, need the help, our ship is kinda old.

Host AGM_Selan says:
VIEWSCREEN: The wreckage is a sea of debris actually... bluish green that glows from the light of the nearby sun... most of it is charred by some sort of weapon... suddenly, a body floats by the view... it is frozen, but reptilian, bluish-green in appearance, and bald... it's eyes wide open... and the bottom half of it missing... a Q'Orphod...

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  An engineer would be of great help.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: Wreckage is port, about 4 kilometers away... maybe 5, distortions are blocking most scans.

CIV_Meghan says:
::wonders if this could be a trap of some sort::

XO_VanSickle says:
COM: Vessel: Are your impulse engines operational?

Jisk says:
@::pounds on a sparking console to make it work::  *Tisk*: the containment field is going!!  Warp Core Breach imminent!!

CMO_Xye says:
::taps commbadge:: CEO: Xye to AQilla. One of your engineers have been affected by radiation. You all might want to come to sickbay and get inoculated.

CIV_Meghan says:
::shudders and wonders what could do that to the Q'Orphod::

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Get a transporter lock on that ship's crew.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  Noted, Doctor.

Tisk says:
@COM: Scorpius:  Our containment field is going captain.  I suggest you either beam us aboard, or get out of here quickly!

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Try to put distance between us and that ship.

Jisk says:
@::grabs a kit close by and heads for the other end of the ship running::

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Aye. ::Tries to lock on the other ship's crew.::

FCO_Vince says:
CO: Right Away Captain

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: the other ship's warp core is about to breach

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Beam them aboard, and get security to the TR.

Jisk says:
@*Tisk*: dump the reactor! engage the force fields!! do something!

FCO_Vince says:
::moves the Scorpius away from the other ship::

Tisk says:
@*Jisk*:  Hold on, the Captain I hope will help us!

OPS_Russel says:
CO: Aye.  ::Initiates transport.::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Get us to a safe distance.

Tisk says:
@::ejects the core::

Tisk says:
@::raises their puny shields::

FCO_Vince says:
::engages full impulse away from the ship::

Jisk says:
@::keeps running through the ship::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The two lone members of the ship's crew are beamed into Transporter Room 1 just as the reactor  goes... the entire ship goes up in a ball of flame and debris as the Scorpius moves away... the Scorpius is caught in a momentary shockwave... but nothing serious.

OPS_Russel says:
CO:  Got them.

XO_VanSickle says:
::hangs onto something::

CEO_AQilla says:
::Hangs on to console::

Tisk says:
::materializes on an unfamiliar padd and looks at her sister::

CIV_Meghan says:
CO: The aft shields are down to 97%.

FCO_Vince says:
::Wishes he had been quicker::

Jisk says:
::sudden appears on the TL pad rather stunned at the appearance of the engineer at the console::

CMO_Xye says:
::inoculates the engineer and begins to repair the swollen gland in back of engineer's head:: James: Your races is very unusual for my medical knowledge.

OPS_Russel says:
::Hits his head on his panel, again.::

Jisk says:
Tisk: this is your fault!

CSO_Shiar says:
::falls to floor but gets straight back up::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I guess that ship didn't have too bad of a kick behind it.

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Take us out of this "dead zone."

Tisk says:
Jisk: Is NOT!

Jisk says:
Tisk: is too!

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Yes Captain ::proceeds out of the dead zone::
