CMO_Xye says:
::waits for the boom and the computer announcing a warp core explosion:: *CSO*: It'll work. If not, you can't say I told you so.

CEO_AQilla says:
::waves a tricorder at the computer core, monitoring virus effectiveness::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: at station::

FCO_Vince says:
::at the helm::

CSO_Shiar says:
*CMO*: i hope it does

CMO_Xye says:
::watches as Nurse Veridia charges out of sickbay::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Status?

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: Captain. I have released the virus. I guess all we can do is wait.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: still waiting for the info

XO_VanSickle says:
::moves to tactical to monitor that situation::

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Captain, the virus appears to be working.  It's eliminating the nanoprobes

CMO_Xye says:
::looks at the virus status on monitoring system:: *CO*: Captain. My virus looks good from here.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO/CMO*: That's good news.  Keep monitoring it.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: looks good from here

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Aye Ma'am

Host Jan says:
<<<As the Virus starts to kill the nanoprobes...all the replicators on the ship turn on and start replicating Borg Drones!!!  Every minute 30 Borg are being produced!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: we have a problem

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain!  The replicators are making Borg drones!

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Dispatch security teams.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Attempting to shut down replicators.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Dispatching security.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Cut power to the replicators any way you can.

CMO_Xye says:
::sitting back in CMO's office smiling at his success... until he hears the intruder alert go off::

CSO_Shiar says:
*CEO*: please shut down all replicators

XO_VanSickle says:
*Alpha squad* Go to engineering deck and secure that from replicated Borg.

XO_VanSickle says:
*Beta squad* Secure sickbay.

Host Jan says:
<<< replicators are shut down>>

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Yes, Ma'am.  ::goes over to the console and shuts down replicators::

XO_VanSickle says:
*Gamma squad* Make sure the bridge is protected.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Replicators shut down

XO_VanSickle says:
*Delta squad* Take out any Borg drones you see.

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes over to weapons locker and takes out a phaser::

CMO_Xye says:
::runs to tranquilizer darts and begins to work on project::

XO_VanSickle says:
::prepares Wolther PPK again::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: strokes phaser and dagger::

Host Jan says:
<<<Each Borg Drone....walks towards the engineering department....oblivious to the crew>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: Captain... I am going to create a dart gun with some programmed nanoprobes in them. They have the virus and will implant the virus in the Borg bodies. Shutting them down.

XO_VanSickle says:
*Epsilon team* Eradicate all Borg drones.  Search and destroy!

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: the drones are heading to engineering

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: If you're certain it will work.

XO_VanSickle says:
*Omega team* Back up Epsilon team.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO/XO*:  They're heading for Engineering

XO_VanSickle says:
*All security teams* Concentrate efforts on engineering.

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: It was working on the nanoprobes before they got control of the replicators.

FCO_Vince says:
::makes sure he has his melee weapons::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: If they congregate, it's that much easier to concentrate our security.

XO_VanSickle says:
::tries to modulate transporter lock to work on newly-minted drones::

CMO_Xye says:
::working... almost complete:: Xion: Do you know how to use a phaser?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: I’m worried about the warp core

CMO_Xye says:
<Xion> CMO: I'm a healer not a killer sir. What do you expect me to do?

Host Jan says:
<<<<transporters can't lock onto Drones....in fact. the transporter locking mechanism can't find the Drones>>>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Should I head to Engineering?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Ma'am, shall I head to engineering deck to help the teams?

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Erect a forcefield around it then.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Hold on, A'Qilla.

CMO_Xye says:
Xion: Take that phaser and shoot any Borg that come in here. That's an order !

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: If you think it's necessary.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, ma'am. *CEO* A'Qilla, meet me outside engineering.

CSO_Shiar says:
:: erects forcefield::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Permission to accompany you, Sir?

CMO_Xye says:
<Xion> CMO: I can't be ordered to break my Hippocratic oath.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  I'm on my way

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Come on.  Join the party.

CEO_AQilla says:
::runs to TL:: Computer:  Engineering

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: And don't forget that Bat’Leth.

XO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Yes Sir!  ::enters TL::

Host Jan says:
<<<The Drones congregate just outside of Engineering....they walk up to and through the containment field>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Engineering.  ::cocks pistol::

CEO_AQilla says:
::arrives at Engineering and waits for the XO & FCO::

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes the dart gun and the 30 darts:: *CO*: Captain... I've finished the darts. Only thirty. If I could just get one replicator... I'll have a few hundred in minutes.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: How are things going with security, Commander?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  My Bat'Leth is in my quarters, but I still have these.  ::Holds up D'k tahg and Mek'leth::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* I'll tell you in a minute, captain.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CMO*: Give them a field test, doctor.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Good enough.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Commander, the Drones have entered engineering.  They appeared to have walked through the containment field.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Order the teams to engage them, lieutenant.

CMO_Xye says:
*CO*: Aye captain.

Host Jan says:
<<<The drones walk up to the plasma conduits to the warp drive >>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Acknowledged.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain, we're going to have a battle on our hands.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: You can remove the forcefield.

CMO_Xye says:
::runs out of sickbay and heads for the engineering section with darts and dart gun ready to fire::

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec* :  Lt. AQilla to all security teams.  Engage the Borg in Engineering.

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops on engineering deck, FCO and I exit::

FCO_Vince says:
::exits TL::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Hustle!

CEO_AQilla says:
*Eng.* :  All Engineering Crews.  Keep the Borg away from the warp core.

CMO_Xye says:
::charges to the engineering deck ready to fire::

XO_VanSickle says:
::runs to engineering::

Host Jan says:
<<As security fires at the Borg...the shots go right through them....they are all holograms!!!!!!>>>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  I'm ready to drop the field.

FCO_Vince says:
::Tries to get between Borg and warp core::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Wait!

CEO_AQilla says:
::stops what she is doing::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain!  We have a problem.  The Borg are all holograms, somehow.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks confused at the holoborgs::

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  how is that possible?

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Find out where those holograms are projected from.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I don't know.  Deactivate the forcefield and shut off all non-essential power sources.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: yes sir

CMO_Xye says:
::makes it to engineering and meets the security team:: Security team: I think I can handle it from here.

CSO_Shiar says:
:: starts scan::

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Yes Sir.  ::deactivates the forcefield and begins to power down non-essential systems::

FCO_Vince says:
::walks up to a drone and attempts to stab it::

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks to a drone and tries to tap it on the shoulder::

CMO_Xye says:
::pulls magnet out of pocket and tosses it at the holoborg::

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes over to the nearest console and checks the warp core for damage::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: See if you can scramble the holograms' matrices.

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees a blinking light on a shoulder::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: A'Qilla!  Throw me a tricorder!

Host Jan says:
<<<<As the crew circles them.. the Borg swipe at the plasma conduits, but their hands and arms just pass right through causing no  damage.....they keep trying......stuck in destroy mode....>>>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
::Tosses a tricorder to the XO::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Can holographic Borg do anything?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  They have holo-emitters?

XO_VanSickle says:
::catches the tricorder::

XO_VanSickle says:
::scans lights::

XO_VanSickle says:
All: Just as I thought.  These are variations of the Voyager's EMH's holoemitter.

CMO_Xye says:
::looks in medical bag for something else to hurt the borg with... a tazer?::

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  We need to scramble it somehow.  Any ideas?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  How'd they get here?

XO_VanSickle says:
::pulls at the emitter::

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  They must have gained the information on them from Voyager somehow.

XO_VanSickle says:
::punches a few buttons::

FCO_Vince says:
::frustrated, slashes a holodrone, passing right through::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: That would be my guess.

CMO_Xye says:
*CEO*: I'm going to try to download the virus to their emitters.

XO_VanSickle says:
::punches buttons to try to turn off the emitter::

CMO_Xye says:
::runs to nearest console and works on his plan::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: i think they have potable emitters sir

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I believe these holo drones are getting their power through these emitters.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Curious.  Can you do anything to shut them down?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  A portable power source?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: i would need to take a closer look

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: They're linked to the plasma conduits.

FCO_Vince says:
::attempts to strike the emitters with his dagger::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain!  Their power is coming directly from the ship through their emitters.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Perhaps Cmdr VanSickle can send you some tricorder readings.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  What if we disrupted the power to the plasma conduits.  It may be enough to deactivate the emitters

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Can you do it without damaging essential ship systems?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: that would help a bit

FCO_Vince says:
::passes through again since the drones have no portable emitters, it seems::

CMO_Xye says:
Self: Aha ! ! !

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  If it's a short disruption, a couple of seconds, it won't do any damage.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Better ask him.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Do it!

CEO_AQilla says:
::Goes over to the nearest console and cuts the power to the plasma conduits ... waits 20 seconds ... then reconnects the power::

CMO_Xye says:
Computer: Download Sherlock Holmes hologram into this holoemitter. ::presses some buttons and attaches a computer chip to a borg holoemitter::

XO_VanSickle says:
::notices the Borg shimmer::

Host Jan says:
<<<<As the CEO cuts power...the Drones fade.......>>>>>>

CMO_Xye says:
Computer: Enable.

Host Jan says:
<<<<<The Drones are gone>>>>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  AQilla to Xye

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: It worked!  Send a signal to all emitters to short them out.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: they've gone sir

FCO_Vince says:
Is that it?

CMO_Xye says:
*CEO*: Yes AQuilla.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CMO*:  Hold off on the virus.  We've managed to get rid of the drones.

CEO_AQilla says:
::sends signal::

CMO_Xye says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: But what about the virus that we sent out to attack the nanoprobes in the computer system?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  I'll get the CMO to check on it.  It is his baby after all.

CMO_Xye says:
::over hears conversation and raises eyebrow::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Maybe the nanoprobes used the replicators as a means of escape, sorta

XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* What about it, doctor?

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: No trace left of them?

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: none sir

CMO_Xye says:
::runs to console and begins a diagnostic on the virus:: *XO*: I'm on it Commander.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: That could be a possibility.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: The Borg are uncanny for preservation of its kind.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: We're no longer reading the drones, commander; what happened?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain, Lt. Smith had disrupted the plasma conduits for a few seconds to interrupt power to the emitters.

CMO_Xye says:
::looks at the findings of the diagnostic::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Where did they emit from?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* It seems they had portable emitters much like the EMH on the USS Voyager has.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* And they drew power through those emitters directly from our plasma conduits.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: And they were powered by our plasma conduits?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Ens. Vince thinks the emitters may have been a survival tactic by the nanoprobes.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* It seems so, ma'am.

CSO_Shiar says:
*XO* can i have the tricorder info please

XO_VanSickle says:
*CSO* Transmitting it to you, Shiar.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Yes, but what happened to the nanoprobes when the emitters ceased to function?

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Get the emitters in stasis.

CSO_Shiar says:
*XO*: thank you sir

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Smith disabled them.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Disable whatever hijacked the replicators as well.

CSO_Shiar says:
:: looks over tricorder information::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: It seems the emitters needed a constant supply of power.  Once you disrupted that, they ceased to function and shut down.  Since we disabled the emitters before they could fire back up, they're gone.

CSO_Shiar says:
Self: interesting

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Can you run a diagnostic on every replicator in the ship and see if you can disable whatever hijacked them?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Sir, I'll need to go back to the computer core.  I'll purge the core and reload the software from protected files.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Would that get rid of the problem?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  That should clear the replicators as well as any other affected system

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Go ahead.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain, Smith is going to purge the computer.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Yes, Sir

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves Eng.::  Computer:  Deck 9

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes diagnostics check:: *ALL*: Well. The nanoprobes were designed to assimilate any working machine and turn it into Borg. When the virus started to kill them off the nanoprobes backup was to take over the ship by creating Borg machines that look like Real Borg.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Does this mean we'll have to prepare our food the old fashion way for awhile

XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* As I suspected.

CEO_AQilla says:
::arrives at Deck 9 and moves to Computer core::

CEO_AQilla says:
::begins purging the computer core::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Yup.  Looks like we'll have to go into the food stores and cook for once.

XO_VanSickle says:
*All* After the shift, everyone report to my quarters.  I'm making dinner.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Gladly, Sir

CSO_Shiar says:
*XO*: if you insist

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Aye Sir.  Are the holodecks shut off as well?

CEO_AQilla says:
::monitors the purge and watches for any nanoprobe activity::

XO_VanSickle says:
::checks the systems for holodeck status::

CEO_AQilla says:
::notices the purge is complete and begins to reload software from protected files::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I guess until AQilla finishes the software dump, everything's off line for now.

CMO_Xye says:
ALL: The nanoprobes were destroyed to quickly and there was not enough time to create Borg who could "touch" equipment.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* So that's why the holograms were translucent.

CEO_AQilla says:
::reload 40% complete::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* How's the purge going?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Not enough time for hard light holograms, huh

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Nope.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Purge is complete.  Reload of software is 40% complete, Sir.  It should take about 40 minutes to complete the reload.

CMO_Xye says:
ALL: Only the holograms could be created.....and there wasn't enough time to make them able to act with the ship......all they could do was to try to stay active by keeping their flawed emitter next to the plasma conduits.....there was not enough time to program them properly.......so the nanoprobes failed because of your virus.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* Good job.

CMO_Xye says:
*XO*: Thank you Commander.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Reload 60% complete

XO_VanSickle says:
::continues to monitor the systems, reverting to his Quirinus and Comanche days::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  No sign of the nanoprobes so far, Sir

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  If we're done here, permission to report to sickbay?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Keep an eye peeled.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Sickbay?

CMO_Xye says:
*XO*: I'm heading to sickbay sir. Need anything?

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Don't worry, I am, Sir

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I have yet to report for my physical

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Proceed.  *CMO* I need nothing, but Ens. Vince is on his way for his physical.

CMO_Xye says:
::picks his primitive magnet off floor and places it in safe place... then heads for sickbay::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Reload 80% complete

FCO_Vince says:
::nods to XO, and proceeds to TL::

CMO_Xye says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

CMO_Xye says:
*FCO*: I'll race you.

FCO_Vince says:
::enter TL:: Computer:  Sick Bay

FCO_Vince says:
CMO:  You're on!

CMO_Xye says:
Computer: Site to site transport to sickbay.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Any systems I can check while reloading?

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  How's the warp core looking?

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at the warp core:: *CEO* Looking solid.

FCO_Vince says:
::arrives at Sick Bay::

CMO_Xye says:
::dematerializes from engineering site and materializes in sickbay::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Status?

FCO_Vince says:
::enter SB::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Everything is returning to normal.  Software reload nearing completion.

CEO_AQilla says:
::notices reload is complete and checks all systems::  XO:  Reload complete.  No sign of nanoprobes activity.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  I'm reactivating all systems

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Lt. Smith reports no nanoprobes activity after reload.

CMO_Xye says:
::walks to Vince:: FCO: Ready for your physical?

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Systems will be reactivated shortly.

CEO_AQilla says:
::reactivates systems one by one::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: confirmed

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Great.  Triple-check it, I don't want any more of these surprises.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Aye, ma'am.

FCO_Vince says:
CMO:  Yeah Doctor.  After our first encounter with the drones, I had a ringing in my ears for a while from the handguns

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  I'm on my way down to Engineering

FCO_Vince says:
CMO:  But I think it's pretty much cleared up

CMO_Xye says:
::pulls out physical equipment and a medical tricorder... sticks wood stick in FCO's mouth:: FCO: Say ahh. And I'll do something about your ears.

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves computer core and heads for Engineering::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.  Triple check all systems once you get here.

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Yes, Sir

FCO_Vince says:
::sits on table:: AHHHHHHH!

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters Engineering::

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> FCO: You don't want me to put you to sleep do you? ::prepares melorazine::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I'll leave the engines to you.  I'm going back up to the battle bridge.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Sir.

FCO_Vince says:
MO:  What for?

CMO_Xye says:
::finishes that part of testing and does typical physical scan of FCO's body::

CEO_AQilla says:
::begins checks on all systems for nanoprobe activity::

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits ME, enters TL:: Computer: Battle bridge.

CSO_Shiar says:
:: rechecks systems for nano activity::

CMO_Xye says:
<MO_Veridia> FCO: For the noise. He said to say ahh not act like a mad man. I have a patient who has a fear of loud noises.

CEO_AQilla says:
::rechecks systems again after finding everything normal::

XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at battle bridge, I exit::  CO: Smith is looking over the systems, ma'am.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::nods::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*:  Sir, I've checked all systems twice.  No sign of activity.
