Host SM_SusanB says:
Last week on the Scorpius:

Host SM_SusanB says:
All attempts to analyze the vortex opening for a consistent pattern failed.  However, increased levels of radiation were found to signal each opening.

Host SM_SusanB says:
During a subsequent opening of the vortex, sensors detected a mass consisting of deuterium at the center of it.  This was determined to be the source of the radiation waves, and the Scorpius crew decided to attempt to destroy it.

Host SM_SusanB says:
The next time the vortex opened, the hulk of a Klingon battle cruiser was in their line of fire.  After tractoring it out of the way, a torpedo was fired.  The torpedo struck home and the asteroid disintegrated taking the vortex with it.

Host SM_SusanB says:
Salvage ships are on route to dispose of the 26 derelicts from the vortex, and the Scorpius is escorting the SS Nemitz to Starbase 64 for repairs.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::looks at Clinton for a reaction::

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
::looks sideways at Mister Horn and then turns back to the CO shortly before stalking off in a huff... grumbling to himself::

Pel_Tor says:
::rolls a ball to Jala::

CMO_Garta says:

CMO_Garta says:
::wrinkles her nose is concern while watching the CSO::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Look under all the tables.

Russ_Horn says:
*CSO*: I need an internal ship scan the intruders got out of the lounge.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I'm going to try to by-pass the lift's computer controls.  I want to see if I can control this thing manually.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::screams:: CTO: hey!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::turns to see the CNS behind the shield::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CTO*: Avoid concentrating your security forces on the lounge, keep them spread over the ship.

CMO_Garta says:
::turns back to Sci 2 and begins running checks::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Although I may enjoy seeing the CNS confined in such a way, perhaps we should let her out?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  See if you can by-pass the computer.  Run everything through manual control!

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Checking now, sir...

TO_Fereli says:
XO: Sir, I need more power to shields or we going to loose them

Russ_Horn says:
::Looks at Nmbarri:: CTO: Who?

CSO_Turnbull says:

 CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO: what is going on around here?!

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Sir, the computer shows all systems, including the turbolifts are functioning properly...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::points to the CNS stuck behind the field::

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  Tactical scans indicate that the lead ships have opened fire.  Phasers on full.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO: if this is your idea of a joke.. so help me.. you'll spend the rest of your career in the mental ward!

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CEO*:  attempting manual bypass...

Host Computer says:
ALL:  Self Destruct in 45 seconds

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*OPS* Impossible!  This TL was malfunctioning.  It was going too fast and we missed the engineering deck.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::rigs a by-pass of the computer control to the TL and attempts to bring it to a stop::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: they are firing at us

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CNS: Sorry, Frost, I have no control over that now, Russ does.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Are we taking damage?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::opens the main panel on the bridge and starts mapping wiring circuitry::

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: I wouldn’t be throwing around threats at this point. Who are you?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO: How convenient.. WELL?!

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  I can run a diagnostic later sir.  But the computer is showing all systems are functioning properly.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::grins sheepishly at the CNS::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Got it!  Bringing us to a stop.

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  SRS and LRS indicate open space.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*OPS* It seems the computer is taking control of the entire ship.

OPS-Anari says:

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*OPS* Try to shut off the computer!

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: the question is.. who are you and what are you doing in charge of ship security?! I don't remember seeing you on the roster.. human

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Yes sir...

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  All sensors read open space...

OPS-Anari says:
:: punches in commands for computer shut down ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CNS: Watch your tone of voice, Ens. 

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Commander, I've already issued orders to have the computer by-passed.  Commander Turnbull is attempting to do so now.

Host Computer says:
ALL:  Self destruct in 25 seconds

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::glares at the CTO::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: we have taken medium damage

CSO_Turnbull says:
::finds the main computer control circuit::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: The computer seems to be the cause of this problem.

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: I don’t care what you have seen, but I am asking the questions here and if you don’t want to be answering from the brig I suggest you cooperate.

OPS-Anari says:
:: fingers flying over her console as she continues her attempts to shut down the computer ::

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: From those ships?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Agreed.  But what caused this?

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  Not like this

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  Tactical sensors read heavy damage to decks 7 and 10

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Should we let her out, Sir?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::grabs the wires and grounds himself, and pulls hard to disconnect main circuit::

Host Computer says:
ALL:  Self destruct in 15 seconds

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: I'm the ship's counselor.. or isn't that noticeable.. ::arms folded::

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: That depends on her.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Send security officers to verify that in person.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Heavy damage to decks 7 and 10

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  We need to go to the computer core.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Agreed.  Lead on.

OPS-Anari says:
:: gets under her console, removing the panel and begins to move chips around ::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: I’ll have you both brought up on charges for this !!!

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  Power goes out all over the bridge as Commander Turnbull tears the wiring loose.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::manually operates the TL and directs it to Deck 9::

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: You will vouch for that?

OPS-Anari says:
:: sees power to her console go out ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: She sounds unstable to me, perhaps we should leave her there to cool off?

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: I don’t remember asking you anything else.

CSO_Turnbull says:
Self:  Damn, not the way I planned it...  *CEO*:  Have we got it?

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Status.

CMO_Garta says:
::sees Sci 2 go dead and the lights flicker and dim::

OPS-Anari says:
:: pounds her fist against the underside of her console... ::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Security teams report no damage

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Not yet.  The XO and I are on our way to the Computer Core now to see for ourselves.  Keep everything on manual for now until we find out what's going on.

Russ_Horn says:
*CSO*: Have you got anything?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::grabs her head and paces back and forth:: Both: you want to put me in the brig for walking down the hall! go ahead! I'll have both your careers in less than a week!

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Send someone to manually verify we haven't lost any shuttles or escape pods.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Captain, it seems we have a computer failure.

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Resume our original course at warp 4.

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  The turbolift doors open on deck 9.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CEO*:  We have no power here for the moment...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Her tone sounds definitely insubordinate to me Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits TL and heads towards the Computer Core::

CMO_Garta says:
CSO: Shall we start back one wire at a time to see what happens?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::follows CEO to the core::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: It is in your hands, Commander.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*: What about auxiliary power.  You should be able to control that manually.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye  ::prepares to resume course::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::clenches teeth and leans on the wall with both arms folded::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Understood, Captain.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: There is nothing missing

OPS-Anari says:
:: continues to work on her console, trying at least to regain power to it ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CEO*:  attempting it as we speak, but no success so far...

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: Lets get back to the bridge.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Right behind you Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the Computer Core and looks around:: *CSO*:  Understood.  We're at the computer core now.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CSO/CO* Cmdr. Trumbull, Captain, what is going on up there?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
CTO: let me out of here!

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  The helm control is shut down until the computer is restored

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Good... have security on the alert in case there was an intelligence behind this massive computer failure.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CEO*: We shut the computer down from here, sir...but it's going to take a while to trace the rogue circuit.

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: In that case, let us drift.

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: You will remain there until I say otherwise.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: I have dispatched security teams on decks 1 to 10

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Acknowledged.  We'll see if we can trace the fault from here.

Russ_Horn says:
::Heads back for the TL::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*XO*:sir, I pulled the power cable out in a last effort to keep us all alive.  Apparently it had some unplanned effects.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: All decks please.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CSO* Like what?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Seeing as how we can't go anywhere, I'm available to help out with anything else

TO_Fereli says:
::Taps buttons and dispatches security teams on every deck::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::glares at the new guy and stand there:: Computer: access medical override of force field d10 section 5 authorization Deca 5

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::heads back to the bridge with Russ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*XO*:Like killing the bridge module power supply.  We're manually resetting the circuitry as we speak.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Yes, let's see what we can do about restoring power here.

OPS-Anari says:
:: still under her console fiddling with various chip placements trying to get power restored ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the XO:: XO:  I'll take the higher memory functions.  You take the main core over there.  Let's find out what's going on here.

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  Lights flicker to life on the bridge as the emergency power systems come on-line.

Russ_Horn says:
Computer: Override security protocol alpha 1.

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Do we have navigation?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Checking

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Gotcha.  *CSO* Do not reconnect the bridge's access to the computer until our signal.  Got it?

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to get a response from helm control::

CSO_Turnbull says:
Self:  Better...CMO:  I like your idea Doctor.  Care to assist in some major surgery here?

Russ_Horn says:
::Walks back up to the force shield::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Security teams are standing by on every deck

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::goes to the main core and accesses a system diagnostic program::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::turns to watch what Russ does::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*XO*:  Aye, sir.  Loud and clear.  Auxiliary only until your order.

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: I don’t know who you think you are.......

CMO_Garta says:
CSO: Certainly. ::goes to assist the CSO::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::accesses the core's higher memory::

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Cancel response to that intruder alert.

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: But believe me I am the last person in the world that you want to tick off......

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  good work, ensign.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: the question is who do you think you are! I was walking down the hall to get my dinner and I got stuck!

OPS-Anari says:
:: continues to fiddle with her system chips... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CMO:  Spanner...

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: Right now you are on the verge......

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::runs full diagnostic, including Norton Antivirus 2390::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: you are not even on the roster as the ship's anything!

TO_Fereli says:
::Manually cancels intruder alert::

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: So I suggest you just shut up and cooperate or you will be in the brig for the rest of this mission

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes off an access cover and immediately sees the problem:: XO:  Commander, over here.

CMO_Garta says:
::reaches into the tool case under the science console, removes the spanner and hands it to the CSO:: CSO: Spanner.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: you want someone in the brid... go yourself pal

Russ_Horn says:
CNS: Do I make myself clear Ensign?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::goes to the CEO's position and sees the circuit:: CEO: What happened?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::mends the shattered circuitry, being careful to not reconnect the computer wiring::

Host Computer says:
ACTION:  Diagnostic results indicate physical damage.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
Russ: You want to put me in the brig?! Go ahead!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: I will meet you on the bridge Sir, enjoy your time with this Andorian.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Unknown ... but it looks like we've got some replacing to do ::pulls out the fried mangle of circuitry::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'm still not getting a response from the helm

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hears the diagnostic end and confirming the physical damage:: CEO: That looks like our culprit.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CMO:  I think I have the main backups online...can you hit the manual control on the console in front of you?

OPS-Anari says:
:: remembers hearing something about the computer going crazy...removes the chip connection to the main computer core... ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: What do you need to replace it?

CMO_Garta says:
::turns back to the console and taps the manual control::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::heads back to the main bridge::

Russ_Horn says:
Computer: This shield is not to be deactivated under security protocol Alpha 1 I.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CTO*: That intruder alert is most likely a computer malfunction.  If there is an intruder, it is certainly not in the lounge.

Russ_Horn says:
::Turns and walks away::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO:  Just to be safe I'd like to replace all the chips in this section and that section over there ::points to another area of the core::

OPS-Anari says:
:: continues to work under her console ::

Russ_Horn says:
::Enters the TL::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: I have terminated intruder alert

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CO* Only person that was in the lounge was the CNS, who is currently giving Mr. Horn a rather rough time.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  May I make a recommendation, Sir?  

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I'll notify the Captain on what's going on.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::nods::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: You may.

Russ_Horn says:
Computer: Bridge.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Gotcha.  ::goes over to the main core's isolinear panel::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::kicks the force field::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  AQilla to Bridge.  Captain, we've found the problem.

CMO_Garta says:
::sees the console light up:: CSO: We have manual control Sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Excellent, what is it?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
*XO*: sir I don't know what's going on but some human male just left me in a force field in the hall on deck 10!  What are you people doing up there?! 

OPS-Anari says:
:: notices power return to her station and knows she is on manual ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  sir, I recommend founder protocols and blood screening.  Something has to account for all this, and that's the easiest explanation.

Pel_Tor says:
::blissfully plays with the twins, totally unaware of the problems going on around the ship::

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  All security fields fail within the ship.  All personnel secured in the Brig have made it to lower decks.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Some of the circuitry in the computer core has overloaded.  We're replacing it now.  The computer should be back on-line in about 15-20 minutes.

Russ_Horn says:
::Is steaming::

OPS-Anari says:
:: returns the panel, stands, brushing herself off and starts to punch a few buttons ::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
*XO*: he has access to the command codes… you should have security get him.. 

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CNS* Counselor, it seems the computer thought you were the intruder.

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Excellent.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Security fields are down

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CNS* He IS security.

Russ_Horn says:
::Exits onto the Bridge::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hands the XO a box of replacement chips and grabs one for herself::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::is unaware that the force fields are now down::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::shrugs and walks away::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::takes chips and replaces them in panel::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CMO:  Physician, my how thy touch doth heal.  Good Work, Doctor.  that's all we can do at the moment.  ::gets out of the panel but leaves it open::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::starts replacing the burnt out chips with new ones::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
*XO*: well then.. I'll have him on report for failure to Identify and holding a fellow officer with out cause!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the CSO ::   All non-essential systems were shut down prior to the computer going crazy sir.  I can re-route that power to those working systems on the bridge.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Should I dispatch security team to investigate the brig ?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::hears the CNS comments to the XO::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: No signs of tampering?

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  As Horn replaces a section of burnt out chips, she sees sparks to her right and hears a faint squeal.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CNS* No need.  I'll talk to Lt. Horn after I help Cmdr. Horn replace the computer chips.

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Make Flight Control and defense the priority, ensign.  Good thinking.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Doesn't appear to be.  But I'd like security to take a look, just in case.

CMO_Garta says:
CSO: Aye Sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Why the brig?

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Agreed.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
*XO*: Computer ships?! never mind.. I don't want to know.. 

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns as she hears a squeal:: XO:  Did you hear that?  ::moves over to where the sound came from.::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::walks back to the Tac station and checks readouts, if any::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hears the squeal:: CEO: Yes. ::goes to that area too:: Almost sounds like a small animal.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Sir force fields are down in that section

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: If the founders wanted to create chaos, they've done it, but I don't know what interest they would have in Trimbus II.

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: Status of ships security?

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Did we have any prisoners?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Yes ... it did ...

TO_Fereli says:
CO: I believe we did, sir

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::rubs her neck again and pauses at the TL doors::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*Russ*:: AQilla to Security.  Please send a team to the computer core.  We're looking for tampering.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Neither do I.  I can't even confirm my theory, but I think it wise to be proactive.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Currently, TO Fereli is going deck to deck checking that out Sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: By all means then.

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
*CO* Captain, you need to send someone down here.... I  ::screams as someone bashes him over the head::

Russ_Horn says:
*CEO*: acknowledged

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Good thing you called him.  I needed a word with him too.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: And also to Mr. Xavier's position.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the XO:: XO:  What about, Sir?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::hears the transmission::  CO:  We do appear to have an intruder after all.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: His handling of the counselor's situation.

TO_Fereli says:
::Sends security teams zeta and alpha to investigate brig::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::goes into sickbay and toward the ICU doors::

Russ_Horn says:
*ST Alpha*: Report to the computer core room.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: I don't think we'll have the resources to enforce Founder screening until order is restored.

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  A small feathered animal scurries past Horn's foot, black char marks across its front paws.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::jumps back:: Self:  What was that!!!!!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the animal, rushes after it and grabs it::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Understood.  May I suggest all officers arm themselves with sidearms set to stun?

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Team delta is reports that Brigs are clear Sir

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to the XO:: XO:  So this is the cause of over little computer problem, huh?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Looks like we have a saboteur.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::reaches under his panel and palms hidden phaser smoothly::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::waves off the medical personnel and leaves sickbay.. headed for the science conference lounge::

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: Excellent.

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  The animal squeals as it is picked up then nips VanSickle's thumb.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Ow!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hangs on::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: XO:  Looks like he doesn't want to be caught in the act!

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: That was the Counselor?

OPS-Anari says:
:: continues to punch a few buttons at her station ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::runs diagnostics on SRS and LRS::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns back to the panel and continues replacing the chips::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Yes, she is the new CNS, wonderful personality don’t you think?

OPS-Anari says:
:: has re-routed power from non-essential systems to the bridge consoles ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I'm going to sickbay with this animal.  *CMO* Doctor, can you meet me in sickbay?

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  Toxins from the small bite spread quickly making the XO dizzy.

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: I think she needs counseling. What a psycho.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Captain, I think we have just found our saboteur.  ::smiles to herself::

CMO_Garta says:
::hears Russ' comment and whispers:: Russ: So, you've met the blue witch of the Alpha Quadrant have you?

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: And Mr. Xavier?

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Report.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: You and I agree there, Sir.

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* On my way.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::feels a bit dizzy, drops to his knees and crawls to sickbay, still holding the animal::

CMO_Garta says:
*Houlihan*: Cancel lockdown and prepare to receive an injury.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Mr. Xavier is fine sir

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: There might be more, scan for them, please.

CMO_Garta says:
TL: Computer core, emergency speed.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: What happened to him?

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: Jeni is it!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to a console:: XO:  You got it!  CMO:  Incoming casualty.  The XO's been bitten by something.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::beams the XO to sickbay::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Wait ST found him unconscious

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::materializes in sickbay::

Russ_Horn says:
::Looks at the CTO:: CTO: Bit?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: Much has happened since you left Sir.  Jeni and I are to be married next month.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Summon a medical team.  What is their best guess of the cause?

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the computer core:: CEO: What is it?

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::tries to get something from the replicator and finds it powered down... sighs:: great.. just great

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir,  internal sensors detect the 15 archaeologists and about 30 of those small animals... and they are all over.

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: We will talk later.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Captain, tell the crew to be careful.  These animals are toxic.

OPS-Anari says:
:: checks power distributions, sending power to areas of life support, medical, engineering, sciences... ::

TO_Fereli says:
CO: ST thinks it is a poison

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::tries to stay conscious::

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Ah.  He probably encountered the same animal.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::notices something under the table and bends down::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  I had to beam the XO to sickbay.  He's been bitten by a small animal.  Apparently it is venomous.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::hopes it's working:: Computer: Initiate Emergency Medical Holographic program!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Scans for more of these animals in the computer core::

TO_Fereli says:
*CMO* : Please summon medical team to lounge

Host CO_TPaula says:
*CEO*: Can you collect all the animals via transporter?

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: Okay, be careful until I have an anti-toxin. ::turns and runs back to TL:

Russ_Horn says:
CTO: So we have furry little quadrupeds loose on the ship now?

CMO_Garta says:
*TO* Affirmative.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::attempts a detailed scan of the animals::  

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Russ: It appears so, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
self: well well.. what’s this? ::grabs the glass flower vase and a padd.. dumping the flowers on the table.. then uses one to lure the critter close:: here itty-bitty.. come on.. just a bit closer..

OPS-Anari says:
:: routes additional power to the internal sensors ::

Russ_Horn says:
Self: Welcome home.

CMO_Garta says:
*Medical Team* Pierce deal with the XO.  Curtis meet me in the lounge Stat.

EMH says:
::appears:: XO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Not from here.  Can OPS lock on from there?

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  can you lock onto the rodentia with a transporter beam?  Perhaps we could beam them into a shuttle as a holding ground.

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Alert the ship to be aware of unusual animals, and that they're poisonous.

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Sir may I make a suggestion?

MO_Pierce says:
::enters sickbay and shuts down the EMH:: XO: What happened?

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Go ahead.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::   CSO:  Attempting to now, sir

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
Action:  The fuzzy creature looks up at the counselor, and then toddles forward.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Pierce: Doc!  Put this animal in a... ::starts to waver:: a medical field.  I've been bit!

TO_Fereli says:
CO: Can't we vent some kind of gas to neutralize these animals ?

CMO_Garta says:
<Pierce> ::grabs a medical tricorder and begins scanning the XO:

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::catches it in the glass vase.. and looks at it:: Critter: well.. your a cute little thing aren’t you.. come on.. that’s it.. eat up.. that flower is all yours.. :: slips the padd under the critter and turns the vase over.. trapping it inside::

Nurse Houlihan says:
::grabs the animal and takes it to a stasis chamber::

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: We don't know a thing about their physiology.

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: Can you detect them?

CMO_Garta says:
::exits the TL to find Curtis waiting for her with a medkit::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns back to replacing the chips::

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
ACTION:  The animal nibbles at the flower and chirps satisfied.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Pierce: I feel dizzy.  Weak.

Russ_Horn says:
*ST Charlie*: I want one of those Archeologists up here right away.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the lounge with Curtis:: All: What's going on in here?

TO_Fereli says:
CO: perhaps one of the ST teams can catch one of the animals

OPS-Anari says:
Shipwide:  Animal alert!  All crew, animal alert.  Be on the look out for rodent looking animals.  They are highly toxic.  Anyone who sees these is advised to stay clear.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces the last of the burnt out chips and turns to her console::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  If we can get one of the animals to sickbay, we may be able to determine how to contain them better...

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: I'd rather not put them at risk.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Gets a lock on most of the critters in engineering ::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::takes a cloth napkin and covers the top so it can breath and then ties it on with the rubber band at the end of her braid::

Host Clinton_Xavier says:
::lies on the floor unconscious::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CSO: If we could beam them into a force field they'd be contained.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
Computer:  Run a full diagnostic of all computer functions.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  Have a lock on the critters in engineering...beaming them to a shuttle in shuttle bay 1

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::blinks as if trying to stay awake::

CNS_Ens_Frost says:
::slips another flower in the vase for the critter to eat:: critter: big place huh? that’s ok.. I don't like it either..

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  True, but given what just happened with the computer, I'm not certain I trust the fields, sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: begins beaming of all critters from engineering ::

MO_Pierce says:
XO: That little thing bit you?  You've got enough toxin in you for a small snake bite.

Host CO_TPaula says:
OPS: I'd rather enclose them in a force field by themselves, they might damage the shuttle.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Pierce: Snakebite?  That was a little bird-like rat.

Host CO_TPaula says:
TO: Detail some guards to stun the animals if there is a problem with the force field.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::  CO: Yes ma'am.   :: re-routes the beam to a holding pattern, constructs a containment field in cargo bay one

CMO_Garta says:
::sees Xavier and rushes to him::
