<XO_VanSickle> ::sitting in XO's seat, looking at terminal::
<CEO_AQilla> ::at Eng station monitoring systems::
<FCO_Vince> ::at the helm::
<TO_Thompson> ::looks down at the newly repaired console::
<CSO_Shiar> ::at Science::
<XO_VanSickle> ::sees a message from Capt. Mitchell of Kootenai Station::
<CO_TPaula> CEO: Have we catalogued all the repairs we're going to need at the starbase?
<TO_Thompson> XO:permission to get back to work on those fakes?
<CMO_Xye> ::wondering why this man is crying on his shoulder:: Engineer: Yes. Your wife left you. Crying on my shoulder won't help.
<CEO_AQilla> CO:  Yes Ma'am
<XO_VanSickle> TO: Huh?  What?
<CO_TPaula> ::nods acknowledgement::
<TO_Thompson> XO:Permission to work on the fale torpeodos?
<CMO_Xye> ::taps commbadge:: *CO*: Captain. Will there by any chance... be a counselor on this ship?
<XO_VanSickle> TO: Do you have any Borg activity in the area?
<TO_Thompson> XO:No, sir.
<XO_VanSickle> TO: We don't need those fakes then.
<TO_Thompson> ::dumpes the fakes::
<XO_VanSickle> ::returns to the communique from Capt. Mitchell::
<CO_TPaula> *CMO*: Not at the moment, doctor; perhaps there is someone qualified; check the personnel files in the computer.
<CMO_Xye> *CO*: Acknowledged.
<TO_Thompson> CO:permission to go to my quaters?
<CMO_Xye> Engineer: I think you should take a break. I'll send you to a qualified officer.
<XO_VanSickle> ::smiles while reading the message::
<CO_TPaula> TO: Is your shift over?
<TO_Thompson> CO:I been working here since the console explode.
<CO_TPaula> TO: Go ahead then.
<XO_VanSickle> ::in a quiet voice:: She finally got what she wanted.
<TO_Thompson> CO:Thank you ma'ma.
<TO_Thompson> ::leaves the bridge::
<CMO_Xye> ::looks at the pile of dead bodies on the biobeds:: Veridia: What is this? Aren't they supposed to be in the medical lab?
<TO_Thompson> TL>Deck 3
<CMO_Xye> <Veridia> CMO: Sorry sir. There was a patient and I had to take care of her.
<TO_Thompson> ::gets out and walks to his quaters::
<XO_VanSickle> ::gives a little chuckle::
<CSO_Shiar> ::twiddles thumbs::
<CMO_Xye> Veridia: Oh. No problem then. Xion doesn't look busy. Let have Xion clean this up. I have to run a test on the spreading air virus.
<CMO_Xye> <Veridia> CMO: Aye sir.
<XO_VanSickle> ::looks up at the CO::
<TO_Thompson> Computer Roast chicken burger pls ::a roast chicken burger comes on the replicator platform he starts to eat it::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: I think you should take some lessons from Valar.
<CO_TPaula> XO: In what?
<XO_VanSickle> CO: How to get something from SFC.
<CO_TPaula> XO: Something?
<CMO_Xye> ::begins tests on close decks::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: I got a letter from Valar.  She just told me she got the Intrepid-class starship she wanted as a support ship for Kootenai Station.
<CO_TPaula> XO: Ah.
<TO_Thompson> ::thinks he didn't lock the console leaves to the TL::
<TO_Thompson> TL>Bridge.
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Maybe, if for some chance this ship is unsalvagable after battle, you could try to get us a Galaxy or Sovereign.
<TO_Thompson> ::walks out::
<CO_TPaula> XO: I'd rather preserve this one.
<TO_Thompson> ::walks to his console::
<FCO_Vince> ::Thinking he'd love to get behind the 'wheel' of one of those ships::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: You are really attatched to this bird, aren't you, ma'am?
<CMO_Xye> ::wonders why section three of deck 10 is flourished by bacteria:: *CEO*: AQuilla. There seems to be something wrong with the environmental controls. Bacteria is spreading rapidly on Deck 10. Primarily in section 3. It's moving to 4 and much closer to me.
<TO_Thompson> ::runs some tests::
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  I'll send someone down to have a look at it for you
<TO_Thompson> CO:I just foung something.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Erect forcefields around the affected area until we can get there.
<CO_TPaula> ::looks expectantly at the TO::
<XO_VanSickle> ::turns to the TO::
<CSO_Shiar> ::plays with control pannel::
<CMO_Xye> *CEO*: Thank you. I'll erect the force field and head to deck 9.
<CMO_Xye> ::erects force field and heads to deck 9::
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  I'll meet you there.
<CMO_Xye> *CEO*: Okay.
<CEO_AQilla> XO:  Sir, we have a problem with the environmental controls on deck 10.  I'd like to go down and have a look
<TO_Thompson> CO:when i tried to dump the fakes that i made they just stayed there and didn't go out the door is till open no movement.
<CMO_Xye> ::scans the turbolift while on way to deck 9::
<XO_VanSickle> CEO: What's wrong?
<CO_TPaula> TO: I guess you have a glitch to correct, then.
<CEO_AQilla> XO:  Apparently Xye has been working on a virus down there and its spreading
<TO_Thompson> CO:and the nanoprobes are going through the computer.
<CO_TPaula> TO: Are there Borg nanoprobes loose on this ship?
<XO_VanSickle> CEO: You'd best get down there and fix it.  And get your best team on it.
<TO_Thompson> CO:aye,sir.
<XO_VanSickle> ::turns to the CO and TO:: CO: Nanoprobes????
<CMO_Xye> ::walks near section 3 of deck 9:: Self: Oh. This is bad.
<CO_TPaula> TO: Contain them and eliminate them.
<CEO_AQilla> XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::checks environ controls and notices nanoprobes::
<FCO_Vince> self:  Nanoprobes?!
<TO_Thompson> CO:I'll try but we might lose some computer functions for a bit
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Great!  Viruses and nanoprobes!  Can't we have an uneventful trip back to the starbase?
<CEO_AQilla> CO:  They're playing havoc with the environmental controls.  And they are spreading.
<CEO_AQilla> ::leaves bridge and enters TL:  Computer:  Deck 9
<CO_TPaula> CEO: Get them contained.
<TO_Thompson> ::starts the long process of getting the nanoprobes contained.
<TO_Thompson> ::
<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  I'm on my way to the affected area now.
<CMO_Xye> ::erects forcefields around sections 3-5 of deck 9::
<CEO_AQilla> ::arrives a Deck 9 and exits TL::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Go to internal yellow allert?
<CO_TPaula> ::nods to XO::
<CEO_AQilla> ::looks around for Xye::
<FCO_Vince> ::looks at reflection in console for signs of nanoprobe assimilation::
<TO_Thompson> CO:we just lost communiction and replictors.
<Jan> _<<<Some reminants of the Borg are still on the ship....Viral nanoprobes have invaded the computer system...systems start to react>>>>>
<CMO_Xye> ::walks to CEO:: CEO: Well it has made it from sections 3 to 5 on deck 9.
<XO_VanSickle> *All hands* Internal yellow alert!  Be aware of possible nanoprobes and viruses aboard this vessel.  Take extreme caution.
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  It appears we have Borg nanoprobes aboard.  What exactly did you release?
<FCO_Vince> ::unsheaths dagger::
<TO_Thompson> CO:I got nanoprobes starting to attack my console.
*** Joins: Shadow-9 (~skipper@user.acalltoduty.com-60270.tnt5.tucson.az.da.uu.net)
<CO_TPaula> TO: Switch consoles then.
<CMO_Xye> CEO: I released no such thing. I noticed a lot of crew getting sick and I went to investigate.
<CEO_AQilla> ::begins working::
<TO_Thompson> ::steps away from the console::
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  We need to get down the computer core and see exactly what damage has been done.
<TO_Thompson> ::goes to secondary tactical::
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* AQilla!  Begin computer purging protocols.  Get those nanoprobes outta here!
<CMO_Xye> CEO: It may be possible that some of the crew who were partially assimilated my be a partial cause to this.
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  We're on it, Sir
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* We have consoles being affected up here.
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  That's a distinct possibility.  ::checks systems::
<FCO_Vince> ::begins diagnostic on helm control::
<CEO_AQilla> XO:  They appear to be eating the gel-packs on the ship.  We'll need to replace them all
<XO_VanSickle> CSO: Can you isolate the nanoprobes.
<TO_Thompson> ::just notices that power is offline:: CO:main power is shut down.
<XO_VanSickle> <?>
<CSO_Shiar> XO: working on it           ::works on it::
<TO_Thompson> CO: The nano probes aren't going after the secondary bridge I suggest we move there
<CMO_Xye> ::tries to determine what how to kill the virus::
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  If we get the affected packs to sickbay can you purge the nanoprobes from them?
<TO_Thompson> XO:The nano probes aren't going after the secondary bridge I suggest we move there
<CMO_Xye> CEO: Yes.
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  Then do it.
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Move to battle bridge?
<CMO_Xye> ::opens Jeffires Tube entrance:: CEO: Ladies first.
<CO_TPaula> TO: Very well...
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  Let's go.  ::crawls into jeffries tube and removes first affected pack::
<TO_Thompson> XO:we moving to the battle bridge?
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  Sir, we may have something here
<FCO_Vince> CO:  Shall I take us out of warp?
<CMO_Xye> ::takes gel pack and puts it in small medical container he _always_ carries around::
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* Go, AQilla!
<CO_TPaula> FCO: Yes, better to have a controlled deceleration while we still can.
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  It appears that the nanoprobes are only affecting the bio-neural circuity in the ship.  Xye thinks he can remove the nanoprobes from the packs in sickbay.  We're replacing them now
<FCO_Vince> CO:  Aye  ::slows to impulse power::
<TO_Thompson> XO:are we moving?
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Are we going to the battle bridge?
<CMO_Xye> CEO: I just hope the nanoprobes don't assimilate any crew. The last thing we need right now is another medical emergency.
<CO_TPaula> XO: If we've lost too many consoles here.
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* Get it done as quickly as you can.  We're starting to lose consoles.
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  These probes seem to be trying to assimilate the ship through its biological components.  That could help us.
<XO_VanSickle> CO: It seems we may have.
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  Aye, Sir
<TO_Thompson> CO:I lost both tac places here.
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Without tactical, we're defenseless.
<CSO_Shiar> CO: could we bypass the bio circuitry and go back to using isolinear untill we sort the problem out
<CO_TPaula> TO: You can't access it from another vacant station?
<FCO_Vince> CO:  I still have helm control, for now
<CO_TPaula> CSO: If it'll work, do it.
<CEO_AQilla> ::replaces another bio-pack and hands it to Xye::
<TO_Thompson> CO:nope it is locked out, I can access it from the battle bridge
<CMO_Xye> ::accepts the bio-pack and puts it in container::
<CO_TPaula> TO: Go then.
<CEO_AQilla> *CSO*:  Would wiping the computer core memory and reloading the software help in any way?
<TO_Thompson> ::leaves to the TL::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: We should all go there before the entire bridge gets locked out by the nanoprobes.
<CMO_Xye> CEO: Can we remotely shutdown the bioneural gel packs and use the isolinear backups? That may help us.
<TO_Thompson> TL>Battle Bridge.
<CO_TPaula> all:  It's official, then, we're moving to the battle bridge.  ::joins the TO in the TL::
<XO_VanSickle> Bridge crew: Move out!
<FCO_Vince> ::locks out console and heads to TL::
<CEO_AQilla> CMO:  you keep going here.  I'm going to the computer core
<XO_VanSickle> ::enters TL with TO and CO::
<CMO_Xye> CEO: Aye.
<TO_Thompson> ::opens the expansion on the TL::
<CSO_Shiar> ::enters TL::
<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  Ma'am we'll need to bypass the bio-neural packs with isolinear chips until we can fix this.  I'm on my way to the computer core to assess the situation there.
<CMO_Xye> ::continues to collect the bio neural gel packs::
<TO_Thompson> CO:that all?
<XO_VanSickle> ::TL takes bridge crew to battle bridge::
<CO_TPaula> *CEO*: Acknowledged.
<CEO_AQilla> ::makes her way very quickly to the computer core::
<CEO_AQilla> ::enters computer core and checks systems::
<XO_VanSickle> ::TL stops at battle bridge:: Bridge crew: File out and take your stations@!
<XO_VanSickle> <delete @>
<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  Captain, we have a problem in the computer core
<TO_Thompson> ::takes tac::
<CO_TPaula> *CEO*: Elaborate.
<FCO_Vince> ::takes helm::
<FCO_Vince> ::Begins system check on helm control::
<XO_VanSickle> ::moves to the operations console.
<XO_VanSickle> ::
<TO_Thompson> CO:why does the battle bridge have more buttons?
<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  The nanoprobes are feeding on some of the elements of the isolinear chips.  They appear to be replicating themselves.
<CSO_Shiar> ::take Sci::
<CO_TPaula> TO: Aren't you acquainted with these consoles?
<CO_TPaula> *CEO*: Do whatever you have to to stop them.
<CMO_Xye> ::grabs some more gel packs:: Veridia: Nurse Veridia... I'll need you to take over the collection of the bio neural gel packs. I have to get the ones I have to sickbay for quarantine.
<TO_Thompson> CO:just worked on regular bridge consoles before this.
<CO_TPaula> TO: Make sure you're prepared next time.
<CEO_AQilla> ::thinks for a second and remembers something about nanites being loose on a starship::
<TO_Thompson> CO:aye,ma'ma
<CEO_AQilla> *CSO*:  Shair, do you remember anything about nanites being loose aboard the Enterprise once.  May be we could use what they did to purge the computer core
<TO_Thompson> CO:oh wait it's not they have more buttons they are just bigger.
<CMO_Xye> ::rushes to sickbay with container::
<CSO_Shiar> *CEO*: maybe. i'll have to look it up
<CEO_AQilla> *CSO*:  Didn't they use a pulse of some kind to kill them?
<CO_TPaula> TO: If you had been prepared you would not have been confused by that.
<TO_Thompson> ::Starts to power down all remaining console left on the Bridge::
<CSO_Shiar> *CEO*: i'm not sure
<CMO_Xye> ::gets in sickbay and runs tests::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: Captain, we should concentrate on the situation at hand.
<CO_TPaula> CSO: Progress?
<TO_Thompson> CO:Bridge controls are all powered downed Battle bridge is not being attacked by the probes lets us this bridge for some good.
<CEO_AQilla> *CSO*:  Maybe we could adapt something along similar lines that would kill these nano-probes.
<FCO_Vince> CO:  Propulsion is standing by
<CSO_Shiar> *CEO*: sounds like a good idea to me
<CEO_AQilla> ::gets ready to wipe the computer's memory core if necessary::
<TO_Thompson> CO:I can send a power surge to disable some nanoprobes like 75%
<CMO_Xye> ::looks at the nanoprobes:: *CEO*: Nanoprobes techno-organic. Why not just send a somewhat... computer virus throughout certain functions where there are bio neural gel packs. It would have certain safety precautions. The virus could simply wipe out the neural packs.
<FCO_Vince> CSO:  Is there such a thing as an anti-nanovirus?
<CSO_Shiar> CO: a bit sir
<CO_TPaula> TO: Check it with the CSO before proceeding.
<TO_Thompson> CSO:Think a power surge will work?
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Get it ready.  We're working on something that may also work.  Check with me when you're ready.
<CSO_Shiar> TO: no
<TO_Thompson> CSO:why?
<CMO_Xye> *CEO*: Aye ma'am.
<CMO_Xye> ::works on the computer virus::
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  We've also got a computer virus in the works that may kill the nano-probes.  Xye is working on it now.
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* Acknowledged.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Could you adapt the virus to work on non-organic components?
<FCO_Vince> ::sheaths dagger:: 
<CSO_Shiar> TO: it might actualy work. no harm in trying
<CMO_Xye> ::examines the nanoprobe functions and adds certain deactivating functions to it:: *CEO*: Yes. I could.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Get it ready, Lt.
<TO_Thompson> CO:permission to proceed.
<CMO_Xye> ::alters the computer virus some more:: *CEO*: Yes ma'am. Working on it
<CO_TPaula> TO: Granted.
<TO_Thompson> ::sends to power surge::
<CEO_AQilla> ::begins working on various pulse weapons to test on the computer core::
<CMO_Xye> ::finishes the computer virus with one final addition:: *CEO, XO, and CO*: I have finished the computer virus. It will shutdown bio neural gel packs and and disable nanoprobes. It will also reprogram the nanoprobes that can't be disabled.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  How will it affect areas of the core that aren't infested?
<XO_VanSickle> ::hears the message:: *CMO* How will it reprogram those nanoprobes it can't eliminate?
<TO_Thompson> CO:75% efficenity
<CEO_AQilla> ::notices the power surge::
<CMO_Xye> *CEO*: Well... as long as a nanoprobe isn't there... the virus isn't there. XO: It reprograms the nanoprobes to kill other nanoprobes and then to suicide.
<XO_VanSickle> *CMO* Sounds like a plan.  Better make sure it works.
<CMO_Xye> *XO*: Have faith sir.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  I'll monitor the virus from here.
<CMO_Xye> ::does final tests:: *CO*: Permission to release it captaini?
<XO_VanSickle> *CMO* Faith has nothing to do with it, doctor.
<CMO_Xye> <captain>
<CO_TPaula> *CMO*: So long as you're coordinating with the CSO and CEO, granted.
<CSO_Shiar> *CMO*: i see no fault
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Ready here
<CMO_Xye> *CSO* and *CEO*: Then lets rock and roll ! ! ::releases the computer... nano virus::
