Scorpius 10009.09 .... Forward, Episode 3

<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
::exiting sickbay and heads for turbolift carrying 3 padds and a medical bag:: MO: Veridia. I'd like you to run more tests on the Ensign's blood. We must find something that can at least slow down the virus. And find out if it is contagious. I have him locked in the brig and I bet he wonders why.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::At station::

XO_VanSickle says:
::steps off TL entering bridge::

CEO_AQilla says:
::in the shuttle bay continuing analysis of the shuttle::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Have you been able to track the ion trail?

CIV_Nes says:
::arrives on the Bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:
::in a vengeful mood::

CIV_Nes says:
::reports to the XO for orders::

CMO_Xye says:
::taps commbadge:: CO: Captain. Can I meet you right now? It is very important. Computer: Bridge.

CSO_Shiar says:
::checks sensors for the ion trail::

Jisk says:
@::plotting a course for parts unknown and looking over the vile of the Human DNA::

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Take the helm and slave OPS to it.

CIV_Nes says:
XO: Aye Sir.

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Very well.

CIV_Nes says:
::takes the helm and slaves OPS to it::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: I’ve got it.   ::patches through to helm::

CIV_Nes says:
::checks ship responsiveness::

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Follow that trail.

Misk says:
::walks onto the bridge.....tiptoes over to Jisk and pokes both sides of her ribs::!!!!

CIV_Nes says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.

CIV_Nes says:
::makes a minor course correction to follow the ion trail::

CMO_Xye says:
::enters bridge and walks to captain:: CO: I thought you'd say yes. I have run a full analysis of Ensign Hall's blood. He has a virus that we have never encountered before.

Misk says:
@Jisk: Hey cous...is that it??

Jisk says:
@::jumps out of her chair and scream.. pulling a knife::

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Can you handle it?

Misk says:
@whoa..cous,.it's just me! ::holds hands in the air::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: If you will excuse my bluntness, but I hope we catch that woman!

Jisk says:
@::looks at Misk and glares:: Misk: how.. how did you get on board.. ::blinks:: nevermind.. ::puts the blade away::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: That is the idea.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: And I hope the Federation courts give her a very stiff penalty!

CIV_Nes says:
::watches the ion trail as it seems to double back on itself::

CMO_Xye says:
CO: No. It seems to be extremely complex. It has already spread to his brain. Killing brain cells. Everytime I think I've wiped it out... it comes back stronger from no where.

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: And how urgent is it?

Misk says:
@Jisk: So? is  that it?? We going to make some money on this??

Jisk says:
@::sets the vile in a glass case and secures it:: Misk: yep.. that’s it.. and it's worth.. higher than you can count

CIV_Nes says:
::begins course correction again, until realizing that the ion trail heads for a group of asteroids::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Bends down and opens panel with phaser rifle and puts the strap around his back and gets back to work::Self: I better prepare for the worst

CIV_Nes says:
CO: Ma'am, the ion trail continually doubles back on itself. However, I've managed to find the next 'forward' part of the trail and it heads into that asteroid field.

CMO_Xye says:
CO: Well... the problem is... I don't know if it is contagious. If it is... how contagious. I have Ensign Hall locked in the brig. He has... 20 days to live I estimated before his brain shuts down completely.

FCO_Vince says:
::exits TL onto the bridge

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Take helm.  CIV: Work on OPS.

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Can you find the exit point?

CIV_Nes says:
::hands helm back to FCO, unslaves OPS::

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Perhaps you should put him on a shuttle headed for the nearest SB with a good medical facility.

CIV_Nes says:
CO: It exits near a nebulae on the far side of the asteroid cluster.

FCO_Vince says:
::Takes his place at the helm:: 

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: How far out of our way is it to go around the asteroids?

CMO_Xye says:
CO: I planned something better. The U.S.S. Cochrane is one the same heading we are to deliver him to the planet he got the virus from. We will be in range within minutes. So... I'll send him on his way.

CIV_Nes says:
::stands:: CO: 1.3 Light Years, and at with the degradation of the ion trail, it's not worth the risk. In my opinion ma'am.

Misk says:
@Jisk: Well, Lets get this over...I could use some extra cash...

FCO_Vince says:
::checking current course and position::

CIV_Nes says:
::moves to OPS::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I think we should go through.  I believe Vince can handle it.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: We'll have to go through, then.

Jisk says:
@Misk: we are on our way now.. and there’s no rush.. I have a bomb on the shuttle if they get too close

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Understood

CIV_Nes says:
::runs a brief systems check::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, may I borrow the CSO for a while?  We're getting some unusual readings from the shuttle and I could use his help.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: should I arm weapons and raise shields just incase an asteroid gets in front of us?

FCO_Vince says:
::scans AF and plots a few courses::

Misk says:
@jisk: well according to these readings...we have another ship close by..it's on the other side of that nebula.....gas is distorting the readings....could be Scorpius....

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: may I?

CMO_Xye says:
CO: I'll have him ready in a minute. Am I dismissed?

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Shields, yes.  Phasers only if they're needed.

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Go ahead.

CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Yes.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Yes ma'am

CIV_Nes says:
::finds readings satisfactory, though not at 100%::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: sir    ::gets up and walks into TL::

Jisk says:
@:sits up and growls:: self: blast him.. Misk: alter course by 10.65 degrees and decloak.. Lets out run them.. oh and drop a few mines in the gas.. they won't see those

CMO_Xye says:
CO: Thank you. Computer: Transport Ensign Hall from brig to Shuttle bay 1. Energize.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Raises shields to full::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Ready to enter the AF, at you order

CMO_Xye says:
::walks to turbolift and enters:: Computer: Shuttlebay 1.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: By all means, please do.

CSO_Shiar says:
*CEO*: are you in ME

FCO_Vince says:
::Takes the Scorpius into the Asteroid field::

Misk says:
@Jisk: ok..uh...why decloak??.......::drops mines in scatter pattern omega::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CSO*:  No, I'm in shuttle bay 1

CMO_Xye says:
<Ensign Hall> ::enters closest shuttle with some personal belongings::

CIV_Nes says:
::attempts to increase efficiency::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, we may need to increase sensitivity to the long-range sensors.  If Jisk suspects I'm after her, she may try to booby trap her course.

CSO_Shiar says:
TL: shuttle bay 1

CMO_Xye says:
*Hall*: I have some medical supplies which should help you control the pain.

Jisk says:
@Misk: warp 4.. hold 5 seconds and recloak and alter course 67.008 degrees

CO_TPaula says:
OPS: See what you can do with the sensors.

Jisk says:
@Misk: false trail old boy.. 

Misk says:
@::shakes head:: Jisk: ok...here we go............

CSO_Shiar says:
::leaves TL and enters shuttle bay 1::

FCO_Vince says:
::weaving through the field::

<<<<<<Scorpius' sensors light up as the BoP de cloaks...seems to do a loop de loop and recloaks>>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
::enters shuttlebay 1 and runs to shuttle:: Hall: Get on your way.

CIV_Nes says:
::turns to face the CO and XO:: CO/XO: There is a sensor program that Shania developed to increase sensitivity of sensors. It should still be on file.

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at the CO::

CEO_AQilla says:
::sees CSO enter::  CSO:  ah good.  Take a look at this.  ::shows CSO the padd::

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Let's try it.

CSO_Shiar says:
::reads padd::

CMO_Xye says:
<Hall> ::accepts CMO's Medical bag and closes door... prepares for takeoff::

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  What do you make of it?

CIV_Nes says:
CO: Aye Ma'am. ::slaves Sci. Sensors to OPS and begins to input program::

FCO_Vince says:
::rolls the ship avoiding a big rolling boulder::

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: hmmm interesting

CIV_Nes says:
::scrolls through back sensor data:: CO: Ma'am, sensor records show that 1.35 minutes ago the BoP decloaked, did a 'loop the loop' and then recloaked.

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: I am ready to launch the Ensign on his way to the U.S.S. Cochrane.

CEO_AQilla says:
::opens shuttle hatch and enters with tricorder::

CIV_Nes says:
::completes integrating Shania's program::

Misk says:
@Jisk: They didn't move !! I guess I should have used a bass drum as I did that !!

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: She must be up to something.

CSO_Shiar says:
::follows CEO::

CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Coordinate it with the CTO, you'll need the shields to be lowered.

CIV_Nes says:
::runs a brief test::

CMO_Xye says:
CEO and CSO: Mind if I... launch the Ensign? It won't get in your way.

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: Yes captain.

FCO_Vince says:
::suddenly dives the ship when a rock came straight at the ship from behind another one, a very near miss::

CEO_AQilla says:
CMO:  Go ahead

Jisk says:
@:looks at Misk:: MIsk: you didn't re-cloak soon enough

CSO_Shiar says:
CMO: sure

CIV_Nes says:
::notes increased sensor output::

CIV_Nes says:
CO/XO: Sensors have increased efficiency by 13.45%.

FCO_Vince says:
::sweating now:: whew!

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Scan the area where the BoP decloaked.

Misk says:
@Jisk. WHAT !! DUU...They must all be asleep over there..should I do it again???

Jisk says:
@Misk: alter course parallel to their heading

CIV_Nes says:
CO: Aye Ma'am. ::begins scanning::

Jisk says:
@Misk: no

CMO_Xye says:
*CTO*: Could you lower shields for... one minute so I can launch a shuttle?

CIV_Nes says:
::detects resurgence of ion trail::

Misk says:
@Jisk:  ok.ok..coming about......

CEO_AQilla says:
::gets some unusual readings::  CSO:  What's this?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CMO:Acknowledged::Lowers shields::

Jisk says:
@MIsk: no go straight down..

CMO_Xye says:
<Hall> ::ready to launch... begins to eat a nectarine::

CSO_Shiar says:
::takes a look at it::

FCO_Vince says:
::In a zone, simultaneously monitoring nav sensors and adjusting course::

Jisk says:
<now>

CIV_Nes says:
CO: I have a new reading on the ion trail, with increased efficiency of sensors, we should be able to track the BoP more quickly.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I wonder what Smith and Shiar are doing.

CMO_Xye says:
*Hall*: You can go now... and good luck.

CIV_Nes says:
::checks sensors again::

CMO_Xye says:
::opens shuttlebay doors::

FCO_Vince says:
::takes new sensor data into account::

CIV_Nes says:
::establishes link with the helm for quicker data feed::

CIV_Nes says:
FCO: Is the data feed secure?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* What's your status down there?

FCO_Vince says:
CIV:  Yeah, thanks

CMO_Xye says:
<Hall> ::drops nectarine:: Self: Gosh. I'm infected and I'm dropping my fruit. ::blows on fruit::

Jisk says:
@Misk: that way we are horizontal to their course.. maybe their sensor won't pick us up

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  This almost looks like an explosive, doesn't it.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Best reasonably safe speed, please.

Misk says:
@Jisk.: We're getting pretty far away from the nebula.....and our mines.....

CMO_Xye says:
<Hall> ::takes off::

CIV_Nes says:
::detects what could be a sensor ghost::

FCO_Vince says:
::reduces speed::

Jisk says:
@::looks at Misk: Misk: that to slow them down now us! we want to get away!!

Misk says:
@Jisk: Yes we will look like a sensor ghost....

FCO_Vince says:
::Yes Captain::

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: get it out of the ship!

CMO_Xye says:
<Hall> ::clears the Scorpius and heads to the U.S.S. Cochrane:: COM: Scorpius: I'm gone. Wish me luck.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Report!

CIV_Nes says:
::continues close watch of 'ghost'::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, We need to eject the shuttle ...  now!

CIV_Nes says:
CO: There is what appears to be a sensor ghost following us Ma'am.

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: you're correct

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Get out of here.  I'll eject the shuttle.

Misk says:
@Jisk: They are scanning us.....

CSO_Shiar says:
::runs from shuttle::

Jisk says:
@::shrugs:: Misk: ok fine.. head for the dense part of the nebula and hold position.. but charge the weapons.. just in case

CMO_Xye says:
COM: Shuttle: Good luck Ensign Hall.

CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, use a tractor beam.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  There's a bomb on the shuttle.  I'm ejecting it now.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Raises shields as the CMO clears the Scorpius::

CIV_Nes says:
::focuses attention on 'ghost'::

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Keep the shields down another moment.

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Anything from the scan?

Misk says:
@::comes to a dead stop....then reverse..backing up into the nebula::

CEO_AQilla says:
::runs to control panel and uses tractor beams to eject the shuttle::

CIV_Nes says:
XO: The 'ghost' just stopped dead.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Yes ma'am

FCO_Vince says:
::slows to 1/4::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Lowers shields again::

CIV_Nes says:
::rechecks readings:: XO: It seems to be heading into the nebulae. I believe it is the BoP Sir.

Jisk says:
@Misk: are the weapons armed?

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  The shuttle is clear.  We can raise shields now

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We have her!

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Shields back up.

Misk says:
@jisk: yuppers.....

CEO_AQilla says:
::turns off tractor beams::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Raises shields:

FCO_Vince says:
::sets course for the BOP::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Pursuit course.

FCO_Vince says:
::increases speed::

CIV_Nes says:
CO/XO: The nebulae will interfere with sensor readings.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I suggest we try to hail her, maybe talk her out.

Jisk says:
@Misk: drop a probe with an emergency beacon but leave it de-activated.. and lets get out of here

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: should I arm weapons?

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Not yet.

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Hail them.

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: well done

CIV_Nes says:
::hails BoP::

Misk says:
@Jisk: gotcha.....<<<Drops emergency beacon::>>

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Just tell me when

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  That was close.  ::sighs in relief::

Jisk says:
@Misk: move us on thrusters backwards.. no warp or ion trail..

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO:good call

Misk says:
@Jisk: I AM...I am.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Would it be possible to try to lock a tractor beam on her?

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Let's get back to the bridge

CSO_Shiar says:
::heads back to bridge::

CIV_Nes says:
COMM: BoP.

Jisk says:
@Misk: ok.. now lets move.. hit warp 2

CO_TPaula says:
CIV: Are we in range for a tractor beam?

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters TL::  Computer:  Bridge

CIV_Nes says:
CO: No ma'am, and with the nebulae interfering the tractor beam would be essentially useless.

CMO_Xye says:
::exits shuttle bay and walks through corridor toward turbolift::

Misk says:
@::Punches Warp 2::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: Their going into warp

Jisk says:
@::activates the emergency beacon to throw them off again.. it's where they were::

Misk says:
@::Sets off Mines in the nebula.......The gases explode!!::

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Do we have a heading?

CIV_Nes says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers!

CIV_Nes says:
CO: They've detonated a mine in the nebulae.

<<<Scorpius was too close the nebula when it explodes......it is rocked!!>>>>>>

FCO_Vince says:
::Performs the OSM of his life::

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters bridge and goes to Eng station::

XO_VanSickle says:
::jostled around::

FCO_Vince says:
OH %$@*&

CEO_AQilla says:
::barely manages to keep her footing::

CMO_Xye says:
::hits floor::

FCO_Vince says:
::falls out of chair::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Braces himself::

CSO_Shiar says:
::hits wall::

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Do you still have them on sensors?

CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Damage?

CMO_Xye says:
::picks self off floor and runs to hurt Science officer who hit the floor harder::

CIV_Nes says:
::checks sensor readings::

Jisk says:
@Misk: nice touch

FCO_Vince says:
::gets back in chair and checks for helm response::

CIV_Nes says:
XO: The explosion has interfered with sensors, I need to recalibrate.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO:no damage...just shook you up a little..

CIV_Nes says:
::recalibrates sensors::

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Hurry!  I don't want that woman to get away with MY DNA!

CIV_Nes says:
::checks sensors::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
FCO: Yes we do have a heading, it’s an ion trail

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  We still have helm control

CIV_Nes says:
XO: There is a signal coming from deep inside the nebulae. I doubt it is the BoP, but something is definitely there.

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Gotcha! ::plots course and engages at max warp::

Misk says:
@Jisk: It doesn't look like they were damaged...They will be heading our way shortly

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Can you get a clear reading?

Jisk says:
@Misk: any distance we get is good

CMO_Xye says:
::scrapes the science officer off the floor and enters the turbolift with him:: Computer: Deck 9.

CIV_Nes says:
XO: Not on the signal from the nebulae Sir.

CIV_Nes says:
XO: As the CTO has shown however, there is a clear ion signal from the BoP.

FCO_Vince says:
::coordinating course heading with sensor data::

XO_VanSickle says:
::thinks: Crap!::

CIV_Nes says:
XO: It is your decision Sir.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We may try to check it out.

CSO_Shiar says:
::arrives at bridge::

CIV_Nes says:
::attempts to enhance sensors further::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: There could be more "surprises" in that nebula.

CMO_Xye says:
::exits turbolift and carries the science officer to sickbay:: *MO*: Some assistance please?

XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Can you detect anything else in that nebula?

CSO_Shiar says:
::Exits TL and reports before returning to station::

CIV_Nes says:
XO: Sir, I'm about to unslave the Science Sensors, what are your orders?

CIV_Nes says:
::unslaves the Science Sensors::

XO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Make sure power is optimal.

CIV_Nes says:
XO: Aye Sir.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: The ion trail can't degrade so quickly that we don't have time to take a look.  Set a course for the signal in the nebula.

CIV_Nes says:
::rechecks power settings::

FCO_Vince says:
::reverses course::  CO:  Aye Captain

Misk says:
@::Activates the emergency beacon back near the nebula::

CIV_Nes says:
::attempts to improve power readings::

Misk says:
@Jisk: That should keep the guessing <G>....

FCO_Vince says:
::heads back to the nebulae::

Jisk says:
@Miks: yep.. hows the cargo? was it damaged?

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Focus on identifying that signal.

CMO_Xye says:
::carries science officer to biobed and cleans up some of the blood from his fractured skull::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: if there is an ion trail we should follow it sir

XO_VanSickle says:
::wonders where that <expletive deleted> is::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: We will.  Afterward.

XO_VanSickle says:
::sits in XO chair, staring at viewscreen::

CMO_Xye says:
MO: You know what I need. We have to repair his fractured skull and get him back to duty.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: it's a distress beacon

CIV_Nes says:
::increases power by 2%::

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> ::complies and gets necessary tools for minor surgery::

Misk says:
@Jisk: Nope...and it's time to collect, don't you think??

Jisk says:
@Misk: agreed.. take us home

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Give it a thorough but quick scan.  CIV: No transmission?

FCO_Vince says:
::After approaching nebulae, brings Scorpius to a stop at the edge::

CIV_Nes says:
::rechecks power readings::

CSO_Shiar says:
::scans the signal::

Jisk says:
@::eyes the DNA and considers implanting herself::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: it's a decoy

CMO_Xye says:
::begins to repair minor skull fracture while showing the MO what should and shouldn't be done in such a surgery::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Resume our previous course, warp 8.

XO_VanSickle says:
::perks up with CSO's report;:

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Yes Captain  ::follows ion trail at warp 8::

CIV_Nes says:
CO: Just what seems to be an emergency signal.

XO_VanSickle says:
CSO/CIV: Any sign of Jisk's ship?

CMO_Xye says:
::half way through repair:: MO: I'd like you to keep in mind that the fracture did not in anyway cause any danger to the brain. If it did... he'd be unconscious during this surgery.

CMO_Xye says:
<half way through>

XO_VanSickle says:
::thinks Jisk is pulling out all the stops::

Jisk says:
@::Thinks she should have kept the human as a toy::

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: there's a faint ion trail

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: The ion trail is clear?

XO_VanSickle says:
::feels a bit of excitement::

FCO_Vince says:
::continuing to follow trail::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Yes

CEO_AQilla says:
::monitors engines::

CSO_Shiar says:
<edit out faint>

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes repairing the skull fracture and scans for any further damage::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I suggest we go max warp.

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Maximum warp.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye Captain  ::increased to MW::

Jisk says:
@::sees the ship approaching at high warp:: rst! Misk: how fast can we go!

Misk says:
@jisk: We must be leaving ions.. Scorpius is on our trail again.....

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Suggest red alert.

Jisk says:
@Misk: drop a few more mines and decloak.. they know where we are.. dump all available power to the engines .. lets out run them if we can

CMO_Xye says:
SO_Davis: You are dismissed.

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Could a torpedo be modified to follow an ion trail?

CO_TPaula says:
XO: We haven't found them yet... CTO: Yellow alert.

Misk says:
@::Drops out of warp. uses thrusters to maneuver straight down...z23000 meters::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
FCO: Maybe, but it may take some time

CIV_Nes says:
::rechecks power readings, watching carefully for any loss::

Misk says:
@jisk: I have a better idea....<BEG>
