Host SM_SusanB says:
Mission Summary:

The science department with the assistance of Dr. Garta was able to research the information sent to Starfleet from the USS Apache and the USS Pioneer concerning the de-evolution incident they had experienced.  Similarities to the Scorpius' situation was found and using the information from the Pioneer's data files, they were able to extrapolate an effective treatment.

Now with the crew healthy once more and with the aid of the crew of the USS Obenogo, the Scorpius is working to repair the damaged systems on Starbase 64 in order to begin administering the treatment.  Priority must be placed on getting environmental and life support systems fully functional and all levels of the station inhabitable before treatment can begin.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CSO: I believe I should stay behind.. there is no reason to risk both members of the science department who have direct experience with the aliens.. especially since they will most likely still be in the area

CMO_Garta says:
*CSO* Things are more under control here.  How long before we transport?

OPS-Anari says:

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: Not much, got a power fluctuation.

CMO_Garta says:
Houlihan: Finish these final patients as quickly as possible.  Then make certain that Cargo Bay 1 is ready as a triage area.  I don't know what we'll find over there.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  AQilla to bridge.  I have more Damage Control teams ready to go.  Ensign Kellenway will be supervising.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CO*:  Aye, sir.  We'll be ready for transport in a moment.  I'm sending Ensign Ris`Mor to the bridge to monitor our progress from there.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
CEO: Where would you like me to report, Chief?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
TO: We have one, or the station has one?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::jogs down the corridor to keep the operational schedule he has in his head::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: What?  I assigned her to that away team!

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Starfleet also wants more specimens of the spiders, dead and alive.

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: The station..

TO_McCloud says:
CTO: Sorry sir.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
EO:  Transporter Room 2, Ensign.  The medical and science teams should be there.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CO*:  Sir, if you would, I'd like to discuss it later.  Right now, I believe she would be most useful on the bridge.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> CMO: We'll be ready.  The antidote is ready to beam over when you are ready for it.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
TO: That’s ok, Lt.  

CMO_Garta says:
Houlihan: Thanks. ::exits Sickbay::

OPS-Anari says:
COMM: Approaching Federation Shuttle:  This is the Scorpius.  There is a quarantine on the Starbase.  You need to detour from here.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::enters TR2 to await the rest of the team::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Did she talk you into it?

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
::nods, and heads to the TL. Once inside, he states his destination as Transport Room 2::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I am unable to stabilize power to the station.  The teams need to get over there ASAP, sir

CMO_Garta says:
::enters TR2 and looks around::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Turns to the CO: CO: Sir, I am going to have TO McLoud take a security detail to the station. Who knows who, or what, is still there.  The AT might need some protection.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches as the approaching vessel moves off. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CO*:  No, sir.  I made the decision based on the information available to me at the time.  Sir, I really do need to discuss this with you later.  I suspect there is at least one problem I am not aware of.  But this is not the logical time to deal with it.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
::enters TR2:: <Transporter Chief>: Ready to go.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Tom, I'm detecting power fluctuations on the station.  When you get there, your first priority is to stabilize power, then work on the Environmental controls.  Understood?

CMO_Garta says:
CSO: Where's Ris'Mor?  I thought she was joining us?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Understood.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
*CEO*: Understood. <Transporter Chief>: Can you beam me to the starbase power core?

TO_McCloud says:
::heads to the TR with some other TOs::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: The away team materializes aboard the Starbase.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Lieutenant Ris'Mor will be monitoring us from the bridge, Doctor.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Ens. Kellenway's team is on its way over.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods to the CO ::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Shall I call a member of my staff to assist?  We may need the help.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the Away team, and has them on her console ready for a quick beam out if necessary. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  No, I think we can handle it.  We're all Starfleet officers here.  ::draws hand phaser and turns on lamp::  What a mess.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::reaches the station power core, and tries to activate any of its consoles::

TO_McCloud says:
::looking around::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: T'Lok, I think you should be there too.  Russ can handle tactical if need be.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  By my readings, our first task is to stabilize the power plants.  Everything has to come after that.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CO: Very good Sir.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
TO: Mr McLoud, Go set up a security team and meet me in TR2.

CMO_Garta says:
@::pulls tricorder:: CSO: Just think, if we hadn't separated the crew in time.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around at one of the Engineers near her:: Eng:  I'll be on the bridge.  ::leaves ME and heads for a TL:: Computer:  Main Bridge.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  As the away team activates their lanterns, they see bodies scattered all over in various conditions, most notably piles of bare bones.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Man tactical.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks around the bridge for a moment and then checks the science station.. huffs.. and changes the log ins::

OPS-Anari says:
*EO*  Please advise when you have the systems up.  I can only keep the connection at a bare minimum here.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Leaves the bridge and goes to the weapons locker::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Right away.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Indeed.  I'd rather not.  ::scans the area with his tricorder::  Here is a place to start.  This power junction is down.  Cover me.  ::begins to work on the exposed coupling::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*OPS*: Aye, sir. Things look a mess down here. I'll keep you apprised.::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: I'm reading scattered lifesigns.  Many are animals.  We'd better be careful.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Goes and punches in his security codes for tactical and takes over the station::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge and assumes her station:: Computer:  Transfer Engineering control to the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
*EO*  Acknowledged.  You guys be careful.  I sense many animals still on the Starbase.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::grumbles, and shakes his head:: Self: This is going to be a long couple days

CMO_Garta says:
::sets down her medkit in order to hold her phaser in that hand::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*TO* Mr. McLoud, make sure the security team has flashlights with them.  I will issue each member a phaser before we go over.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to watch the power level on the Starbase slow go down... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Indeed.  Doctor, do not hesitate to stun anything you're unsure of.  ::works feverishly to repair the coupling::  *EO*:  Mister Kellenway, what's the situation where you are?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Ensign, good job in helping the commander and the doctor with that research.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  A large humanoid shape emerges from the shadows and takes Dr. Garta's lantern then runs toward a jeffries tube opening.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::stuns the large humanoid::

TO_McCloud says:
*CTO*: Aye. ::turns towards and runs over a checklist::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::pulls out a chair.. facing her back to the bridge crew as they work.. growls under her breath and whips her tail around.. really hates bridge duty as well.. keys up the starbase life signs and the commbadge tracker signals from the AT::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breaths quickly as she senses the Away Team... ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CSO*::A mess. I'm trying to get the power systems online. It could take some time....depending on the number of phone calls I keep receiving.

CMO_Garta says:
@Humanoid: Freeze! ::fires on stun setting::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: right sir.. 

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Gathers the phasers that will be needed, then heads to TR2::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::retrieves the light for Dr. Garta::  CMO:  Hmmm...that one was fast...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears OPS:: OPS: What is it, lieutenant?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Calms her breathing. ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks at the CO... ::   CO:  The Away Team was startled, sir.  They are okay...for now.

FCO_Vince says:
::leaning over to OPS::  OPS:  Is everything alright?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Startled?  By what?

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: You could say that.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*EO*:  Understood.  I'm at power junction 43 about 4 decks above you.  Where would we be more use?

TO_McCloud says:
<TO Eve> TO McCloud: Sir, won't we need special phasers or something?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles to the FCO. ::   FCO:  I'm fine thank you.  CO:  By something large, sir.  I cannot tell beyond that.  But they are safe for now.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir.. the power levels on the station are still dropping at a slow rate.. the air mix is beginning to increase in carbon monoxide.. 

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Looks like we have specimen number one. ::walks over to the unconscious form::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Transporter Chief: When the rest of the security team arrives, I want you to transport us as close to where the rest of the AT has gone.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Doctor...I doubt that any of the individuals on the station can understand your English at this time.  Shoot first and ask questions later.

TO_McCloud says:
TO Eve: The CTO has them.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  Once the engineering teams reach engineering they find themselves in a tropical paradise.  Many exotic birds can be seen flying around the mass of greenery beginning to grow along the upper level.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Inform Kellenway's team.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Returns her attention to her console ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  This will be a good test of the vaccine on the station, yes?

FCO_Vince says:
::re-verifying our position, again::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: English?  No, my tone however is what I was hoping would get through.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::uses his tricorder to scan the generator in front of him:: *CSO*: Best use you could be would be three sections west of you. There is a ruptured PTC that we need repaired or replaced.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: very well... 

CMO_Garta says:
::begins scanning the body::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*EO*: this is the Scorpius do you copy?

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::continuing to monitor the progress of her teams::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the adrenaline the Away Team is experiencing. ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::curses and taps his communicator:: *SO*: Ensign Kellenway. I hear you....

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Commander, what's happening over there?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  I know Doctor.  However, I suggest it is wasted effort.  ::gets the power coupling working::  *EO*:  Power coupling 43 online.  Anything else near here?

TO_McCloud says:
::turns towards the CTO:: CTO: Everyone is here.

OPS-Anari says:
:: tugs unconsciously at her gloves... ::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Proto-human, we didn't have any of these on the ship. ::removes a hypo of the serum from her medkit and injects the patient::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@Self:  This is going to take some time.  ::begins to feel fatigue after 4 days with no sleep and uses Vulcan control to remain alert::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: That sounds decidedly Vulcan, Cmdr. ::grins::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CSO*:Report to Primary Generator 3. Ensign Johnson could use your help

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Fascinating.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Commander Turnbull, report!

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I hope you find the orbit pattern satisfactory, sir.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*EO*: the air on the station is beginning to turn toxic.. it's slowly saturating with carbon monoxide.. be advised.. You may need to begin using portable air filters found in the emergency environmental suits

CTO_Nmbarri says:
TO: Very good.  ::Turns to the rest of the team:: Team: Each of you will take a deck to cover, where possible.  Be careful.  We don’t know who or what we will find over there.  Here is a phaser for each of you.  As per the orders of the CO, you are to use high stun setting only. 

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*EO*:  Acknowledged.  On our way.  CMO:  Come Doctor, we must away.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*SO*: Understood. Kellenway out!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Hands each team member a phaser, preset on high stun::

FCO_Vince says:
::looks slightly puzzled::  OPS:  Why do you ask?

TO_McCloud says:
::takes his when his is handed to him::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I took over Flight Control, sir, as well as OPS from your station.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
::tries to reinitialize the power generator in front of him.::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Team: Ok, Lets go.  ::Steps up onto the Transporter Pad::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: As the tactical/security teams materialize, they hear a deep throaty growl of a large cat nearby.

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: I'm starting to see a change.  Perhaps we should transport him to sickbay for his own protection.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::turns as he hears the sound of a large cat::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*: Sir, it's a mess over hear.  Power has failed in most of the primary, secondary, and tertiary backups.  Batteries are at 20 percent of nominal.  We are attempting to restore power to environmental controls, or this is going to be a VERY long process.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@TO: Do you have a cold, Lt?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir.. 

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Oh, during the... umm... yeah.  Thanks

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes in a deep breath and turns her eyes to her console... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: What's up, ensign?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles and nods to the FCO ::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::overhears:: CSO:  Commander, do you need any additional help over there?

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: As the vaccine takes effect, the crewman's facial features begin to soften and return to normal.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::taps his communicator as he reads the tricorder printout:: @Scorpius: Kellenway to Scorpius?

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: No. ::trying to figure out where it came from::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  We're going to have to bring him with us.  We could be killing him by leaving him here.  ::picks up the crewman in a fireman's carry::

OPS-Anari says:
*EO* Scorpius, here.  What do you need, sir?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Do the best you can.  Yours and Jeni's first priority is to get the anitmutagen to the mutated crew.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I believe once the environmental systems are operational, there is going to be a massive air exchange going on in the station.. an airborne antidote would not be recommended until the engineers can reprogram the system to not filter out the cure from the toxins..

CMO_Garta says:
@::stands up:: CSO: Affirmative, ::helps him stand up::

CMO_Garta says:
@::cringes slightly wondering how many people will use that name for her::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Good idea.  *CSO*: S'Toran, did you hear what Ris'Mor suggested?

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@Scorpius: This is going to take a bit of time. Damage is extensive. I would like to request we move everyone not making repairs to a few decks of the starbase, and cut power everywhere else. That will help preserve the batteries and the power systems until we get them back online.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  McCloud is thrown to the ground as a tiger leaps from its hiding place.

TO_McCloud says:
@::on the ground fighting a tiger::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  That's a good idea.  The more we can conserve power ...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Yes, sir, and I agree with her assessment.  We're going to need some additional medical personnel and the replicators of the Scorpius are going to have to work overtime to manufacture more vaccine then.  We'll have to do this the hard way.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Turns quickly, phaser drawn, and shoots the tiger::

TO_McCloud says:
@::tosses the tiger to the ground::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Sir, Ens. Kellenway is reporting the damage is extensive and requests everyone not making repairs to a few decks to help with the power drain. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@TO: Are you ok, Lt?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Doctor, how many medical personnel do you have there now?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes in a quick breath as she senses panic from the TO. ::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: The tiger falls over heavily stunned.  

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  What's wrong?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks startled, but continues to feel out the Away Team... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  We need to establish a secure area where we can bring these people while they get back on their feet.  After they recover, we will have help.

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: I'm fine ::calms back down, looks at the tiger::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CMO* Doctor, we have a large tiger if you are interested?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  There are many carnivorous animals there, sir.  One just startled the Away Team.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  Kellenway discovers a heavily charred area within the power generator that he is working on.  Below the damaged area he finds a pile of bare bones.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  They are alright.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::goes back to looking at her console:: CO: decks 1 thru 4 have the least amount of Carbon monoxide.. I'm also picking up a heavy concentration of ammonia.. from.. oh that’s sick..

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: From where?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Felis tigris?  We didn't have any of those either.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Okay, you just looked worried for a moment there

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@TO: As I said, be ready for anything around here.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: umm.. animal dung sir..

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles a little nervously to the FCO... ::   FCO:  It's a little unnerving what I'm sensing, sir.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::jumps back, letting out a surprised yell. After a moment, he draws his phaser, and slowly bends down to investigate the charred area, the bones, and hopefully nothing else::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::walks ahead of the Doctor, scanning right/left with his phaser at low ready::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  The members of the Starbase crew that have been inoculated begin to awaken, unsure of what has happened yet will full memories of the situation.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses heightened adrenaline from members of the Away Team...tried to control her breathing. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Doesn't surprise me.  Remember, the entire station's inhabitants have mutated into animals.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@Sec. Team:: Ok. fan out as you were ordered, but be on high guard.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  A large primate steals the tricorder from Turnbull and begins to play with it.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: When they have to go, uh, you know.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CREW:  Do not be afraid.  I am Commander Turnbull, and this is Lieutenant JG Garta of the USS Scorpius.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
eeesh.. ::taps on the console:: *CSO*: sir.. be advised.. watch where you step.. I have your position as approaching a heavy concentration of ammonia

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: Should I come with you?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Ens Kellenway is reporting the damage is extensive and requests everyone not making repairs to a few decks until power can be restored.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::stuns the large primate and recovers his tricorder::  CMO:  another one.  *SO*:  Atmospheric or organic?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*CSO*: dung sir.. 

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@TO: No, we need to cover as much ground as possible, but keep an open com link with the rest of the AT, as well as with the Scorpius.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins moving her leg nervously, trying to stop the shaking. ::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to the CO::  CO:  Captain, that's not a bad idea.  The more we can conserver power the better off we'll be in repairing systems.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*EO*: Ensign, designate the decks, but make sure no mutated crew are on the decks you're shutting down.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*SO*:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  Most helpful.  ::finds a door and overrides the security lock to open it, covering it with his phaser::

TO_McCloud says:
@CTO: Aye. ::heads toward a Jeffries Tube, thinking he heard something::
EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CO*: You've got better sensors than I do at the moment, sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Doctor, how many medical crewmembers do you currently have there?

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: As the door opens, Turnbull finds an injured llama struggling to get back to its feet.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CSO*: Sir, what would you like us to do with this tiger?

CMO_Garta says:
@*CO* Just me Sir.  The rest of my team is working on the vaccine and waiting for the all clear from Engineering before coming over.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::rushes to the aid of the Llama and avoids its hooves::  CMO:  Over here.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@Comp: Computer...how much time remaining before total power failure?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CTO*:  Beam it to us if you can, we have some antidote for it.  make sure it's unconscious.

CMO_Garta says:
@CO: If this is a Captain, he'll owe me. ::begins scanning for injuries::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Calls for a transport of the tiger to the location of the CSO::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  As Turnbull touches the llama he finds himself in the grips of a strange transporter beam and materializes in a sea of blue goo with hundreds of tadpole-like creatures swimming around him and the llama.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::notes the CSO is directly over an ammonia concentration.. hopes he didn't step in it.. ick::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
@*CMO*: Ens. Kellenway is going to designate safe decks during a power down.  When you know where to go, set up a triage center.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks over nav sensors, still nothing new aside from the shuttle that changed course and left::

TO_McCloud says:
:: doesn't see anything when he shines his flashlight into the tube ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: There was just a transport off the station.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  Ensign, the air is best on which decks?

CMO_Garta says:
@*CO* Affirmative sir.

OPS-Anari says:

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I've lost the CSO's signal

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I cant trace it, but we have lost Cmdr Turnbull's comm signal.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console... ::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Tom, Scans reveal the air is best on Decks 1-4.  Perhaps we could move the crew to those decks.

CMO_Garta says:
@*CTO* Security!  I need some help here!  Something’s got the Cmdr.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV/OPS: What?  Try to get him back!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CMO* Doctor, what is your location?

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*AT*: Attention all away teams. Begin a sweep of your areas, and report any life to the Scorpius. All personnel are being moved to decks 1 through 4. Power will be terminated in all decks below that in 10 minutes.
CMO_Garta says:
@*OPS* Turnbull just disappeared, do you have him?

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  The creatures llama begins to disintegrate in front of him and hundreds more of the tadpole creatures emerge from it's body.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Working to try and locate the CSO's com signal... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:

OPS-Anari says:
*CMO* No ma'am.  I'm working to locate his commbadge

CSO_Turnbull says:
%::releases the Llama::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Trying to trace the transport.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*Scorpius*: Kellenway to Scorpius. Prepare to beam life signs to decks 1 through 4. Power systems will be terminated in all other decks in 10 minutes.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to scan for the CSO's commbadge ::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect the CSO's com-signal in one of the torpedo shaped ships.

CMO_Garta says:
@*CTO* Deck 4.  I'm the only humanoid here!

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I've located the CSO's commbadge...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Where?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  It's coming from one of the torpedo shaped ships

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Smacks his tricorder, then it begins reading the CMO's lifesigns::

CSO_Turnbull says:
%::swims in the direction the bubble is going::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Try to lock on and beam him back.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to get a lock on him... ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@Self: Remember to have this tricorder fixed when we get back to the ship.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks at the viewscreen wondering where the torpedo ships are::

CMO_Garta says:
@::hears the proto-human moaning, then backs up spreading her search for Turnbull::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: Turnbull rematerializes on the Starbase soaking wet near a pile of bare bones.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I'm working on it sir...   :: Fingers continue to fly over her console as she works ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*OPS* Please transport me to deck 4, where the CMO is.

CSO_Turnbull says:
%::looks for anywhere there might be an air pocket::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Sir!  The CSO is back on the Starbase

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Did the aliens beam him back?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::falls to his knees and tries to breathe::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*CSO*: sir are you ok?

OPS-Anari says:
*CTO* Acknowledged...initiating transporter beam...

CMO_Garta says:
@*OPS* Do you have him?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I'm not sure, sir.  I could detect no transporter activity

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Materializes along side the CMO, and notices that the CSO has returned::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@Self:  Fascinating.  *SO*:  I am undamaged, if a little out of breath.

CMO_Garta says:
@::sees the CSO on her tricorder and moves to him::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@:leaves his position. The generator can’t be repaired. He heads for deck 8, stopping to get an enviro suit on::

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO*  Cmdr...are you alright!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CSO: Sir, do know where you were taken?

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Just rest for a moment. ::begins wiping the goo from his face::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: VanSickle to Turnbull, what happened?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::taps comm badge::  *CO*:  Turnbull to Scorpius.  I'm all right.

FCO_Vince says:
::trying to locate the torpedo ships on sensors::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Returns to check the rest of the Away Teams bio signs...sighs as she sees they are all there::

@CO*:  Sir, do you recall a sea of blue liquid?

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Cmdr. How are you feeling? ::completes her scan::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::wonders why no one can hear.. huffs and goes back to her sensors::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Yes.  That was the last thing that happened to me before I became human again.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  I am well, doctor.  And very enlightened.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: There were little creatures about to eat me.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Looks at the CSO and wonders what he means by "enlightened"::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to open a channel to any of the torpedo shaped ships... ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@:reaches deck 8, and cautiously makes his way towards Docking Control::
CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: This is the same gel that was transported with the larva.

CMO_Garta says:
@::scans the bones and finds it the llama's remains::

FCO_Vince says:
::whispering:: OPS:  How could a little slug like creature have transporter technology?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Sir, I believe that the Cyanites are infecting the bodies as reproduction vectors.  I was with an unfortunate Llama that turned into several tadpole creatures.  I have a good fix on what their early life cycle is.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shakes her head... ::   FCO:  I don't know.  Can you penetrate the hulls?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
@*CSO*: You mean those creatures were about to come from me?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  It's got all the nutrients they need I'd bet...they breathe and eat it.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I'm trying to raise them, but I'm getting some kind of feed back from my signal

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I'm still trying to find their hulls

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::scans the torpedo ships::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles slightly at the FCO's comment ::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: The larva came from the body.  They are using us like a nest.  We supply the food and warmth the Cyanites need to breed.  Right?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Aye, Captain.  If we had not found the innoculant when we did, you may have been several of those tadpoles.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@:uses the console in Docking Control, and looks up a schematic of power transfer systems::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Doesn’t like what the CMO and CSO are saying::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Yes, much like a parasitic wasp known as a Chalcidoid.

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: Thousands of torpedo shaped vessels momentarily appear on sensors surrounding the starbase.

CMO_Garta says:
@CTO: Relax, Lt. you are inoculated.  You should be okay.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  The ships have returned.   :: Looks at the view screen ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: You should see this.

FCO_Vince says:
::starts fiddling with all sensors at his disposal to get an approximate direction of the torpedo ships::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO: Sorry, Doctor, I was just wondering if those....things might still be inside any of us.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO/CMO*: Sounds like some TV show set about 1000 years from now.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@::smiles to himself, and gets an idea::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: What is it, Russ?

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Would a stronger form of our serum work as a weapon against them?

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at Russ curiously::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Those ships are surrounding the SB.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Looks like they're all around us, Sir

OPS-Anari says:
:: Opens her senses ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: They seem to be everywhere.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::tapes out a binary message to the alien ships.. hoping they respond::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Indeed.  Sir, it is critical we get an airborne vaccine into the air here.  We could go deck by deck with misting guns if we had to, or we will lose more people.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees her console beep at her as a transport is being initiated... ::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Cmdr. I don't think we have time to wait for the ventilation system.  We've got to start spreading this now.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*: Kellenway to Scorpius?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Can you find a way to disrupt transport from the starbase, maybe set up a dampening field?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  I would also like to attempt to contact them.  Perhaps if they knew they were harming us, we could reason with them.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Sir, the ships have to uncloak in order to use their transporter technology.  I'm also sensing...

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: The Scorpius' sensors pick up a second series of transports and the ships once more disappear from sensors.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Did you see that?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: We just had another transport.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Eyes open wide... ::   CO:  I'm sensing intelligence from them.    FCO:  Yes I did.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO/CSO: I can call my security teams here to have them run deck by deck misters if that will help?

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Cmdr Horn here, Ensign.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: What kind?

CMO_Garta says:
@::turns her head to keep from seeing the bones::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CTO:  It couldn't hurt.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Sir, they are only following instinct...as if their sole purpose is to feed.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*:Just the person I was looking for. What is the status of the Scorpius power systems, sir?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over her shoulder to the CO. ::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Non-sentient, then

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: AQilla, advise Kellenway to hurry with the environmental systems.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Our power systems are optimal.   You have an idea?

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO/CTO: Along with my team, we should be able to get a small team on every deck quickly.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: So we can't reason with them?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I would say sentient because they feed...and it is a primal instinct inherent in all species...

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Will do.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  They are not answering hails.  I'm not sure that they have evolved past the need to feed...

CMO_Garta says:
@::looks over to see the proto-human looking almost normal::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  But sentient life doesn't follow instinct alone

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*: Yes sir. Unfortunately, it's about the only one that will get power back to the starbase in any short amount of time.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CTO/CMO:  Let's do it.  We're time critical here.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  True, but at it's most primal level, they do.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Commander, forget trying to reason with them.  They are acting on instinct.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: It seems the creatures only one need -- food.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks:: *EO*:  Not a bad idea.  We could divert power from non-critical systems on the Scorpius and directly feed it into the Station's core.  How long will it take to set up?

TO_McCloud says:
::just sorta lost at looking at the starbase::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Trying to focus on the feelings she was getting from the ships when they were visible. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*Sec. Team*:: All team members, meet me on deck 4, where the CMO and CSO are.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, Ensign Kellenway has an idea.  I'd like you to hear this.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: Can I get some help?

CMO_Garta says:
*Houlihan* I need all medical personnel and the serum ready to beam over here.  You'll be in small teams with security.  Bring out the misters, we're going the old fashioned way.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*EO*: What is it, ensign?

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*: Well sir, I was thinking a bit more effective than that. We can dock the Scorpius. I can set up an ODN with the starbase power grid, and feed vital systems off the Scorpius warp core.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Indeed?  How was this determination made?  Either way, I would like the opportunity to don environmental gear and attempt to transport into one of their vessels.  We may find a way of dealing with them.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Help with what, Lt?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Instinct...like moths to a flame...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Lt. Anari sensed their need.

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO/CTO: It'll be faster if they beam directly to a deck.   Perhaps to the site security can be waiting for them?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: Trying to disrupt their transporter signals.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: It's only instinctual to them.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  We need to discover what drives them...what is causing them to feed...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Understood.  Do you wish to attempt another boarding of their vessel?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Giggles a moment... ::   FCO:  Besides, hunger

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  How about hunger?  All life forms feed, you know, Sentient or not

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: *EO*:  That could work.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Negative, at least not willingly.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Opens her senses trying hard to feel them though they are cloaked ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*: We have just enough power left to make it work. And since the Scorpius isn’t going anywhere, it won’t miss the warp power.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*CO*:  And I would suggest an additional motivation for the Cyanites:  they also need to BREED.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> *CMO* Affirmative, we'll be ready to go in 5 minutes.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins to shake her head... ::   Self:  To much...

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, for this idea to work, we would have to dock the Scorpius at the Starbase.  We would also need to tap power directly from the warp core.  It's the best solution we have right now.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  It looks like their way of procreation, survival

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  It's too much...slow down...I can't read it all...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO: As soon as you are ready, my team is here waiting to go.

CMO_Garta says:
CSO: My staff needs 5 minutes.  They will have the misters loaded and ready to go.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO/CO*: Aye sir. The damage here can’t be repaired without a couple days.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: How safe is this?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::taps at her console and shrugs.. knew they didn't need her on the bridge.. ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins to breath hard as she receives information... ::

CMO_Garta says:
@::nods to the CTO::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  There is a risk, Sir.  But we don't have time for anything else right now.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  As you wish, Captain.  But I am volunteering.  In the meantime, we must get busy with the misting of every deck we can reach.  Doctor Garta informs me our teams will be ready in 5 minutes.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Grabs her head trying to steady the onslaught of information... ::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Ensign?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Agreed.  FCO: Set course for the nearest docking bay.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Turns to the Sec Team:: Team: We will each have a mister to use.  as soon as we have them, we will each transport to a different deck, and begin misting right way.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breathing harder... ::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO:  Tom, we're docking the Scorpius now.  Begin tapping the power as soon as we've docked.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Slow down...slower...give it to me slower.

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: You want them all here or on separate decks?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Prepare to dock the ship.

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*: Aye, sir. ::taps his communicator:: DCP: Engineering Team Beta, configure the power couplings for docking bay 3 for intake.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Face contorts as she tries to assimilate the information ::

CMO_Garta says:
<Medical Team> ::enters TR2 with a mister in each hand::

FCO_Vince says:
::realizes the CO said something and turns his attention from OPS::  CO:  I'm sorry, Sir.  You said dock with the SB?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO/CSO: Will each mister be enough for a deck, or should we call for another one to be transported to us if we run out?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Focus' on the telepathy she is receiving. ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
::calls up enough power from the power reserves to open the docking bay doors::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Russ, what about a burst from our deflector?  If we can find the right frequency we should be able to interfere with the transport.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CTO/CMO:  Let's go with what we have and call for more as we need it.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Yes, lieutenant.  We're going to dock to get a better power transfer.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye  ::breaks orbit and moves toward the closest docking port::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: The medical teams materialize on the starbase with misters ready to distribute.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> *CMO* We are ready to go.  Each has two misters, that should be a good start.  MO Sopok is remaining to continue the replication::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: Anything we try is a long shot, Scans reveal nothing about their technology.

FCO_Vince says:
::scanning the port the confirm the SBPU is still functional::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Eyes are now unfocused, and she is still holding her head. ::

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
::remains in Docking Control, watching the Scorpius enter the bay, hoping nothing goes wrong as tractor beams are offline::

Host SM_SusanB says:
ACTION: As the away team spreads out over the various decks to administer the vaccine, they begin to notice the bodies of thousands of the metallic blue spiders.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  But it will have to wait.  We're doing a direct transfer from the warp core.  Get it set up and I'll let you know when it will be safe to proceed.

CMO_Garta says:
@::sees the teams materialize:: Houlihan: Good, separate into teams of 1 medical joined with a security team.  I'll take this level.  Good luck.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Mouth is agape as she tries to breath...still overwhelmed with information ::

FCO_Vince says:
::while piloting and scanning::  CO:  Sir, someone might want to check on our OPS officer

CMO_Garta says:
@::takes the two extra misters from MO Pierce and turns to Turnbull::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  Doctor, look at the bodies of the blue spiders.  These ones are dead.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Thrusters only, ease her in.  There won't be any tractor beams.  Anari will be fine.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: The next time they materialize It will be too late, that’s when they transport.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Heads out with the rest of the AT.  Notices many of the blue spiders crawling all over the ship::

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  And I don't want to blow this ship up, either.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Looks closer at the spiders, they aren’t crawling, they seem to be dead, or just stuck to the walls::

FCO_Vince says:
::deactivates impulse and uses the thrusters::

CMO_Garta says:
@CSO: Maybe a carrier?  They die after laying their eggs like an earth spider?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::begins a medical scan of the dead spider and compares the readout with the live ones he has studied::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Is able to decipher...home...gamma...need...over and over. ::

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Gamma...gamma...

EO_Ens_Kellenway says:
@*CEO*:Kellenway to Commander Horn? The Scorpius will have to have her umbilical connections configured to transfer power, rather than receive. Is there anyone in main engineering to do that?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@CMO:  A possibility.  Scanning...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Steady... steady... OK, extend docking clamps.

FCO_Vince says:
::diverts to the next docking port when sensors detect the power unit is offline at the first one::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CMO/CSO: Dr and Commander, I am finding thousands of those blue spiders all over the place.

Host CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  I can do that from the bridge, Ensign.
