Host Suzieq says:
USS Scorpius – NCC 50666
Hidden Dangers – Week 3

Host Suzieq says:
The Scorpius' away team was able to work with the crew of the Nemitz to restore minimal power to the impulse engines and increase power and stability to their shields.

Host Suzieq says:
Meanwhile the medical team on both the Nemitz and the Scorpius worked frantically to treat all the injured from the Caledonia and Nemitz.

Host Suzieq says:
After fires broke out in the engineering section of the Caledonia, the Scorpius transported all hands to safety aboard the Scorpius.  During the next radiation spike the Caledonia was destroyed.

Host Suzieq says:
Once it was deciphered that the radiation spikes pre-emanated the opening of the vortex, the Scorpius crew began working to position themselves and the Nemitz for escape.

Host Suzieq says:
Using the Scorpius' tractor beam to assist the Nemitz, both ships managed to escape the vortex, however both are still within the Arkon Sector.

::One last look this time for sentimental reasons:: COMPUTER: Lights off.  ::Exits quarters for the last time::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Good thing you caught it in time, or else we would've been right back into the Triangle.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::orders strong ice horn berry tea and watches the Klingon walk after the CMO::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Radiation levels continue to increase until the vortex begins to open.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sighs with relief as there appear to be no surges this time::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: IF I hop onto that bed, you will be minus one bed.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::scans radiation frequencies and cross analyzes them to see if he can determine a pattern::

::lays back on the bed::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hears the TL doors open and close, then a dog panting:: CNS: Mr. Bauer.  I see you're ready to go.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Walks to XO:: XO: Sir a moment in your RR?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS: By all means.  CSO: You have the bridge.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: teaching an old dog new tricks?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::walks over to RR::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Follows XO into ready room::

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::rises and takes the big chair::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Counselor, I don't believe you've met my fiancé.  Ens. T'Lok Nmbarri, meet Ens. Arzan Frost. ::grins at the Andorian CNS::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::ties in science to command console on chair and continues analysis::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::turns head slightly, sees an Andorian woman standing there and jumps slightly::

CMO_Garta says:
::begins to scan T'Lok, waiting to see if his heart rate changes at seeing the Andorian woman::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::eyes the Klingon laying they:: CMO: yes.. nice view.. can you get him to do anything else?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Sensors are able to identify the radiation as nucleonic and as the vortex reaches its peak, sensors detect a mass at its center.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::decides she can be of more use on the bridge so exits Engineering and enters TL:: Computer:  Bridge.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: ::whispering:: She is Andorian.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::enters RR and turns around:: CNS Bauer: I guess this is so long.  I wish you luck on your next post.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Be nice Frost. ::giggles::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Some fun, eh, Mister Vince?  Stay sharp...

CMO_Garta says:
::nods at the CTO's comment::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: ::whispering:: This might complicate things for Pel Tor.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Aye, although I can think of funner

CSO_Turnbull says:
Self:  Fascinating...nucleonic radiation...

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::sips her tea and shrugs.. and then smirks:: CMO: this is overly nice.. trust me.. ::sighs:: so how much longer with Todd be in coma?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The vortex closes quickly and radiation levels begin to slowly return to normal.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: You need to relax a little, your heart rate is a little high::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge and transfers Engineering control to her station::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  No doubt.  never flew one of these Ambassador-classes.  How's it handle?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: CNS Zachariah T. Bauer requesting to be relieved of duty, Sir. And permission to disembark the Scorpius.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: I'm not certain, I want to recheck those scans in an hour and see if there is any change.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: There may be more than one reason for that Jeni. ::grins::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS Bauer: Granted.  Oh, before you leave...

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Thank you , Sir

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  It's not like a Valkyrie, but it's quite good for its size

CMO_Garta says:
::grins:: CTO: More than one?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: yes...

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: good.. ::eyes the CTO:: 

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::walks over to replicator:: Computer: One box of large dog Milk Bones.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: You know how my heart is when you are around.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO: you do know what these things on my head are right buster? you would be amazed how well they pick up sound waves..

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Are you reading a gravimetric mass at the centre of the Vortex, Mister Vince?  I liked the New Orleans.  It...handled.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CNS Frost: Yes, I am quite aware of what those things are.  My son also has them.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::replicator produces said box::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Counselor, I hope things will remain civil.  My number one rule is "No fighting, yelling, or being unprofessional in my Sickbay."

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO/CMO: and I'm the Caledonia’s shrink.. but thanks for the concern

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  It seems to be at the heart of the vortex.  I can't tell what it is yet.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::runs frequency analysis of the nucleonic radiation and tries to tune sensors to detect it::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  A wave of radiation sweeps across the bow of the Scorpius as a vortex opens directly below them.

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Me either.  Evasive!

FCO_Vince says:
::OSM::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: You are excused Counselor, I have an examination to finish.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::takes box and gives to the exiting counselor:: CNS Bauer: For Goliath.  I hope this patches things up between us.  I know things didn't get off to a good start with your pup.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::waves her hand in the air as she walks back to the ICU:: CMO: this is as professional as I get after going 4 days with out sleep doctor

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  z +10000 meters now!

FCO_Vince says:
::turns the Scorpius in a wild direction 90 degrees upward, so to speak::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Smiles at XO:: XO: Thank you, Sir. This means a lot....to both of us. Good-bye and Good luck. We will see each other again.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hangs onto her console:: Self:  What the ...

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  did we clear it?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::lurches the opposite direction of the climb:: *CSO* What's happening out there?

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Then I suggest you get some sleep.  The survivors are in our hands.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::nearly rolls off the bio bed::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Sensor readings detect a spike in the radiation as the vortex begins to close below them.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: You won't be any good to them cranky.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::drops her tea and grabs the wall as the ship lurches::

FCO_Vince says:
::still fighting to pull us away::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*XO*:  It's getting a little bumpy, sir.  We had a Vortex open right under us.  We had to evade.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Exits RR and moves across bridge and enters TL. He bitter sweetly smiles as he sees the bridge disappear behind the closing doors::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Just barely Sir

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CSO* Take it easy.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Gee, Jeni, You are supposed to make the ground under my feet shake, not the entire bed.

CMO_Garta says:
::flies into the biobed behind her:: CTO: What was that?

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  There...the Radiation spiked...did you get that?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::perks her head up:: CMO: radiation alarms are going off...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Increasing power to inertial dampeners ::re-routes aux power to IDF::

CMO_Garta says:
*Bridge* Report.  What's going on up there?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
TL: Shuttle Bay 1, Please

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Yes it did, but with only seconds of warning this time

CSO_Turnbull says:
*XO*:  Aye, sir.  Sorry for the bumpy ride.  FCO:  Back us off from this position about 1000 km or so.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS Bauer: I think you'd best get ready to go before it gets too bad around here.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: do you have an di-oxil 10? ::looks around sickbay:: 

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Aye  ::backs away::

CMO_Garta says:
*All Medical Teams* Radiation Protocol level 3 stat!  Repeat, Radiation Protocol Level 3.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  The core seems to be mostly comprised of deuterium

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::goes to a cabinet and starts look through the containers::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: All my radiation gear is in those med kits on that shelf.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CMO*:  Sorry, Doctor.  We were evading a Vortex.  Please secure sickbay, this might get bumpy.  Bridge out.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Exits and arrives at shuttle bay 1.  Sees pilot ready to take him to the Geneva::

CMO_Garta says:
*CSO* Affirmative.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::reappears on bridge:: CSO: Progress report?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Radiation levels within the Scorpius remain constant, just below safety levels.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: You'd better get to the bridge.

FCO_Vince says:
::increases sensor pallet sensitivity to the dorsal and ventral arrays::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::tries the newly tuned sensors in an attempt to detect the radiation more quickly::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
:: They exchange knowing nods and Lt.JG Bauer enters shuttle::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::growls under breath and finds a kit marked with a yellow stripe:: got it! ::pulls it out and breaks the seal::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  Initiate Radiation Protocols.  Shipwide alert.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::repositions himself on the bio bed, but feels a sharp pain in his side::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Getting readings on radiation ... levels are constant ... just below safety levels.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::loads a hypo:: CMO: here! better take this before you go any place..

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::yells ouch::

CMO_Garta says:
::walks to the shelf and grabs two med kits, then throws one to the CNS:: CNS: What you need is in here and keep your nose out of the rest of my equipment before I have you sent to the brig!

FCO_Vince says:
::begins radiation protocols throughout the ship::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Let me know the instant the radiation either gets close to safety levels or affect ship's systems.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Soon the shuttle is cleared and we are away::  GOLIATH: Don’t look at me that way, you know I hate good byes, I wrote them a note.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Acknowledged.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: I know what a radiation kit looks like Doctor.. I have been dealing with this for .. well a long time..

CMO_Garta says:
Houlihan: I'm heading to the bridge.  Lock down in here. ::grabs the CNS by the arm:: CNS:  You are out of here sister.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Bauer rides off into space::

FCO_Vince says:
::trying to scan for the other elements of the core::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Then let me do my job and get out of the way.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
:: whispering:: Self: yes, she looks like she has been doing this for a hundred years.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni, did you forget about me over here?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::gets tossed into the hall still holding the kit:: CMO: fine! ::yells::

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  It scans like Deuterium...heavy water in an ancient nuclear reactor.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I told you to get to the bridge Ens.  Now are you going to lay there or come with me?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  That could account for the radiation ... pass that onto medical.  They could use that information.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::gets to his feet and follows his "boss::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Aye, commander.  

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Go to the cargo bay.  ::takes a deep breath trying to calm herself down:: They could use your help down there.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Coming doc.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::exits SB and heads to the bridge with the CMO::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::had already walks away from sickbay.. hears the CMO as the lift doors close::

CMO_Garta says:
::orders sickbay lockdown as she exits and enters the TL:: TL: Bridge

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: So there is no definitive pattern to these vortices?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION: An opening in the vortex is detected 50 meters to port, and radiation levels increase rapidly.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CMO*:  Turnbull to Garta.  We have some information on the radiation.  it's nucleonic, apparently caused by deuterium masses in the Vortex.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  It looks like an asteroid of some sort at the core.  That could be causing the radiation.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  No, sir.  Completely random by all analyses.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Radiation levels rising again ... approaching safety levels.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I'm sorry.  I'm not sure that one is going to work well with my staff.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Asteroid?  What bearing?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
LT: mess hall.. lounge.. Wherever....

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::realizes that Pel Tor is still sleeping in the quarters::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Shields begin to weaken from the radiation, down to 85%.

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO/XO:  A meteor of heavy ice...  ::goes silent with thought::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Where from?

FCO_Vince says:
::puts it onscreen::  XO:  It's at the heart of the vortex

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni that kid must sleep like the dead, or the computer is offline.  I have the computer monitoring him and he hasn’t woken up.

CMO_Garta says:
::Enters the bridge:: CSO: Affirmative.  Basic inoculation should protect you for a while until my staff can replicate more.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Another vortex is opening.  Shields now down to 85%.  Attempting to compensate.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Try tuning the shields to the frequency of the radiation to selectively block it out.  We know what it is, we should be able to screen it out.

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The gravimetric pull of the asteroid begins to pull the Scorpius toward the opening.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: S'Toran would it be advisable to destroy that asteroid?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::heads for TAC station::

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to maneuver against the pull::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Full power reverse!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Nice idea ... ::re-tunes and shield frequency::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::checks readings, notices the shields are beginning to weaken::

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  Uh oh, here we go...increasing power to main engines... ::slaves OPS console::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Shields down to 75%.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Trying Sir.  Maybe we should use a torpedo on it

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Turnbull!

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  No data, Commander.  

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Shields now down to 75%.  Re-tuning of shields ineffective so far.

CMO_Garta says:
::begins inoculating the staff::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Take your best guess.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Best guess:  it couldn't hurt.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::the TL drops her near the mess hall.. the ship still shudders as the bridge crew is fighting to save things.. grumbles and goes in the empty conference lounge near the science labs.. ::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The vortex closes as the Scorpius pulls back.  Narrowly missing being trapped again.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CEO*: Ma'am, is there anyway we can reroute power to the shields, any none essential systems that we can tap from?

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: I'll check on Pel Tor.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Gotcha.  CTO: Get a weapons lock on that asteroid.  Fire a photon torpedo at it.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Radiation levels dropping again.  Apart from shields no damage.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::starts humming the old Earth war anthem "We gotta get out of this place"::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::plops down in the chair and turns it to face the single large window::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::locks torpedo onto the asteroid and fires::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  You may want to wait to fire until the next vortex opens

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::picks up on CSO's humming:: CSO: ::singing:: ... if it's the last thing that we ever do...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Torpedo away Sir.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO/XO:  Running shield failure analysis...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Wait!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Nmbarri.  We've already tried that.  Ineffective.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::realizes he's humming::  XO: Sorry sir.  Old habit.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::gives herself the injection of di-oxil 10 and sighs.. orders some hard drink from the replicator::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  Try this frequency on the retuning...it was from our last reading...

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The torpedo detonates harmlessly in open space.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::watches out the window as space is in chaos and pours herself a drink::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: When the next aperture opens, I'll tell you to fire.  Make sure you have a lock ASAP when it does.  Got it?

CMO_Garta says:
::briefly wonders why humans sing so much::

FCO_Vince says:
::reroutes power to the targeting sensors::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::receives the data:: CSO:  Got it.  ::re-tunes the shields to the given frequency::

CMO_Garta says:
::finishes inoculating the bridge staff and leaves unnoticed::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: S'Toran, once sensors pick up an increase in radiation, let me know exact distance and bearing.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::looks at the glass and then holds it to the window in a toast:: here’s to you friends.. looks like the rest of the crew is right behind you.. Cheers to us! who die and no one sees! ::tips her head back and swallows the liquid::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::notices the extra power to the targeting sensors::

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  I've given a little more power to the tactical sensors so you can get a quicker lock

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO;  Aye sir.  Monitoring.

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect a steady increase in radiation 1500 meters off the bow.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
FCO: Thanks you Vince, I am sure we will need it.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: AQilla, reroute necessary power to shields.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Keep us at least 1,000 meters from any opening.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::watches the deflectors sizzle as radiation increases... pours another glass::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Already doing so.  But I think .... Radiation levels increasing again ... 1500 metres from our port bow.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I'll do my best, but it may be tricky

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  1500 meters off the port bow...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Train targeting sensors to the port bow!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::tunes weapons sensors towards the location of the radiation spike::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Already on it Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::re-routes aux power to shields::

FCO_Vince says:
:: keeps us at that range::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::holds glass up again:: and to our brave.. yet very stupid executive office.. who died in vain to save a science officer who lays helpless in sickbay.. about to die again

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Time to opening?

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  Radiation building...building...

Host Suzieq says:
Action:  waves of radiation bounce of the newly tuned shields, causing them to drop to 70%.

CSO_Turnbull says:
Maximum aperture in 2 minutes, sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Turn us toward the location of the opening, but hold position.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  It could spike any moment now!

CMO_Garta says:
::checks on Pel Tor and finds him still sound asleep::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
Self:  Darn!!!!!!  XO:  Shield re-turning and aux power not responding ... shields down to 70%!

FCO_Vince says:
::Turns the Scorpius to port, holding position::

CMO_Garta says:
::exits the quarters and returns to her duties::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Try to keep them up for at least five minutes!

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::drinks the glass and pour another:: and to the captain! you freak of the human race.. ::looks at her glass and then tosses it at the window:: you don't deserve death honours.. bah! waste of a good drink

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO/XO:  Radiation inside the hull is stabilized, sirs.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Do you want one torpedo fired, or a full spread?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  As the vortex begins to open the hulk of an ancient Klingon battle cruiser is clearly visible.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Prepare to lock on and fire on my mark.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: One should do it.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I'll try ... ::continues to re-route power::

CSO_Turnbull says:
Self:  there's a trick shot in the making...

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Intaqh!  There's a ship in the way!

CMO_Garta says:
self: I wonder.....Computer: Where is CNS  Anzar Frost?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: This will be tricky, getting the torpedo around that ship.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the battle cruiser:: CSO: S'Toran!  Can you lock a tractor on that relic?

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The vortex reaches it's peak as shields drop another 5%.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::drinks out of the bottle and sets her feet up on the table::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::opens the power grid for Flight, Tactical, and sensory::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::runs shield failure analysis::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Shields down another 5% ... no increase in radiation within the Scorpius, though.  Readings seem stable...

CSO_Turnbull says:
::applies Tractor beam::

CMO_Garta says:
<Computer> CMO: Anzar Frost in the Deck 10 Conference Room.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Tractor it out of the way.  CTO: Once that's clear, fire!

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Attempting Tractor of the vessel now...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Got it Sir.

CMO_Garta says:
::jumps in the TL and orders it to deck 10::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::watches out the window as the ship turns and her view of space changes::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::watches the tractor beam move the battle cruiser:: CSO: Make sure that's across the threshold.

FCO_Vince says:
::prepares to pull away after the torpedo is fired::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::repels the ship into a negative tumble out of the line of fire::

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The Kligon ship is drawn through the mouth of the vortex as it slowly begins to close.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::as the battle cruiser moves out of the way, the weapons lock onto the asteroid::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::continues to work on the shields::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Fire!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Fires torpedo::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::puts more power to the tractor beam::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::leans her head back and shrugs.. begins to whistle a tune as she stares at the ceiling::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
XO: Torpedo away Sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::watches torpedo fly into the vortex and toward asteroid::

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  I have the Battle Cruiser, sir.  It's through the vortex.

FCO_Vince says:
::goes to full reverse away from the vortex::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::watches the torpedo as it heads for the asteroid::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::talks to the air:: I'm sorry Todd.. I brought you here to die.. but this time your going o be awake for it..

FCO_Vince says:
Torpedo:  Fly Baby, Fly

Host Suzieq says:
ACTION:  The torpedo hits home and the asteroid splinters into minute shards.  The vortex collapses leaving the relics of ancient ships floating in space.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::stops her work for a minute and watches the torpedo::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
Self:  YES!!!!!!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Nice shot!

FCO_Vince says:
::pulls away hard to avoid a possible shock wave::

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Looks like it worked, sir.  And look what WE found...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Analyze those ships.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the conference room:: CNS: How much experience do you have with radiation?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::smiles:: XO: Thank you, Sir.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CTO:  good Shooting, Mister Nmbarri.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Scanning...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CSO: Thank you, Commander.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::doesn't look at the CMO:: CMO: that depends.. how long was the Caledonia lost? ::takes another drink..::

FCO_Vince says:
::Once clear:: XO:  Permission to beam over to the old Klingon ship Sir?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Nice shot ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Denied... for now.

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  Bummer

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  And I wouldn't mind a look at that old Romulan warbird ...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Nods in appreciation at the CEO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
All: No one is to go aboard those ancient vessels yet.  CSO: Open a channel to SFC.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
FCO: Vince, when the time comes to board that ship, may I join you?

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Sir, there are 26 vessels, spanning a technology time frame of approximately 200 years.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::sets the bottle on the table and looks out the window as a few old ship hover in space::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Not long.  Listen, you may have more experience with it than I do.  Your friend had severe radiation poisoning along with his other injuries.  I want your help.  We may be able to save his life.  Are you up for it?

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  I expect you would

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  I am reading no life signs.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: You must remember, that it's my sickbay and so I'm the boss but I'd be more than happy to see you a member of the team.  What do you say?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Probably all died aboard those vessels during their time in the void.  Where's my channel to Starfleet?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: I serious doubt it doctor.. I'm not a member of your staff and you made it very clear you didn't want me in .. how did you say it.. Your sickbay.. 

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  They may not have air anymore

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  I am reading recognizable vessels from Breen, Klingon, Romulan, Terran, Vulcan, and Andorian cultures, as well as a few unknown to the ships database.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: I don't want your attitude in my sickbay.  You, on the other hand...

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO:  That is a likely supposition.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::opens channel to Starfleet command::  

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Scans herself:: XO:  Confirmed.  I'm not reading any power emanating from any of them ...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::receives a computer message:: <Computer> CTO: Nmbarri, Pel Tor is waking up.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  channel open, sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Route it to the ready room.  CEO: You have the bridge.  ::goes into the RR::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::leans her head back and looks at the CMO.. which looks upside down and laughs:: CMO: my dear doctor.. I am Andorian.. I guess the blue skin didn't give it away huh? my attitude comes with the color.. 

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Self: Oh no, not now.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::signals for her relief then moves to the big chair::

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Aye, sir.  ::routes open channel to Ready Room::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO*: Nmbarri to Garta.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::sits behind the desk and activates the desktop terminal:: COMM: SFC: Starfleet command, this the USS Scorpius in the Arkon sector.  We have neutralized the Bermuda Triangle.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::sits up and looks back out the window:: CMO: and I believe a human coined the phrase.. a Trill can't change its spots.. ::takes another drink and finishes the bottle off::

CMO_Garta says:
::leans over putting both hands on the table:: CNS: My future stepson is Andorian.  I know the species.  But, if you want your friend to die, then stay here and enjoy your attitude.  I'll make sure you have a spot close to the torpedo tube when we jettison his body. ::turns and walks out::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  A fascinating collection of vessels, is it not?  ::scans the hulls for signs of degradation due to radiation::

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* Garta here. ::barks the reply obviously angry::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO:  Indeed ... I wouldn't mind doing a bit of exploration ... ::lets the thought trail off::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::sits up and turns toward the door before bounding out of her seat and after the CMO::

Host Suzieq says:
<SFC> COM: Scorpius: Excellent work Commander.  That will be good news to the travelers of that region.  Were you able to locate the SS Nemitz and SS Caledonia?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Umm, Jeni, guess who is waking up, do you have time to run by my quarters to check on him?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: SFC: Affirmative, however the Caledonia didn't make it.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Any ideas on the origins of those unidentified ships?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: SFC: The Nemitz is on her way back to Starbase 64.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::grabs the CMO in the hall and pushes her against the wall:: CMO: Look human! ::visibly annoyed:: I am not the doctor on this ship! you are! if my lover dies.. I'll take it personally

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO*: ::smiles:: That little turkey, I was just there 5 minutes ago.  I'll take him to sickbay.  He can play in my office.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::locates major borders of Klingon and Romulan treaties and projects course of asteroid through time::

Host Suzieq says:
<SFC> COMM: Scorpius:  Understood.  Accompany the Nemitz to its destination and give them any aid needed.  You will receive further orders upon your arrival.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to join the CSO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: SFC: We found a deuterium asteroid causing the ruptures and the void space trapping the ships.  We destroyed the asteroid, and then 26 ships from multiple species over 200 years.  What should we do about them?

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: Human?  Human?  Do I look human to you?  In case you are too blind or dumb to notice, I'm Bajoran you blue-skinned, good for nothing.....::groans:: Never mind.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  A veritable plethora, sir.  Terran, Vulcan, Andorian, Breen, Romulan, Klingon...a few unknowns...I am projecting the course of the asteroid through space-time.

Host Suzieq says:
<SFC> COMM: Scorpius:  Launch buoys to mark their location.  We will send a salvage team to collect them.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: CSO:  And they were all trapped ... some of them for a very long time ... At least some people will find out what happened to their loved ones.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::scans the ships for organic matter::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CMO: you all look the same to me.. now go back to your sickbay and do your job.. ::lets go of her and sniffs.. I have.. things to do.. elsewhere on this rust bucket! ::limps off before passing out from lack of sleep and being drunk::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Any life-signs at all?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: SFC: Acknowledged.  We'll rendezvous with the Nemitz as soon as the buoys are deployed.  Scorpius out.  ::exits RR::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  None, sir.

CMO_Garta says:
Self: By the prophets, what now. ::picks up the passed out CNS off of the floor and begins carrying her to sickbay::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  I'm only reading skeletal tissue.  I suspect the radiation would have caused rapid cellular decay.

CMO_Garta says:
*Houlihan* Cancel lockdown.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::enters bridge:: CSO: S'Toran, prepare several marker buoys to surround the area.  Salvage ships will be here to study and clean up this area.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Set a course toward the Nemitz.  Our orders are to escort her back to SB 64.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CSO:  And that could have, quite easily, been us.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::sits back and sighs because the CMO will take care of his son, nothing will get in her way::

FCO_Vince says:
::prepares a course through the ship debris::

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  aye sir.  ::readies and launches buoys, having anticipated the order::  Buoys away.  Ships:  Rest in peace...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Engage.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::overhears and echoes the sentiment::

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* T'Lok, is there anyway one of your men could bring Pel Tor to sickbay?  I'm having to carry a drunk, passed out Andorian there now.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO*: I will go and get him myself, this I really have to see.
