Mission Summary:

Away teams were sent to the Starbase to treat the infected crewmembers and to repair the base's systems.  Power generators were irreparable, however, EO Kellenway suggested having the Scorpius dock with the Starbase and establishing a direct connection to the Scorpius' warp core.  This procedure allowed the engineering teams to stabilize the Starbase's systems and additional repairs are underway.

Meanwhile the science and medical teams, accompanied by security escorts began administering the vaccine.  The treatment has been affective and the crew on all accessible levels of the Starbase have been treated and have returned to their normal form.

The torpedo shaped ships are still surrounding the Starbase and bodies of deceased Starbase personnel continue to dematerialize only to be returned as a pile of bones.  The Scorpius continues their attempts to contact the ships as Lt.JG Anari senses communication between the tadpole like creatures.  "Home, gamma, need, others," are among the words she keeps hearing repeated.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Lieutenant, you have some kind of medical readings on what's going on?

CMO_Garta says:
@::receives reports of 11 other empaths who are in pain::

CMO_Garta says:
@::applies the sedative to help the patient relax::

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION: The constant telepathic activity proves too much for Anari and she collapses from the stress.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on the promenade deck and sees the CMO treating multiple patients::

FCO_Vince says:
::catches her and sets her down gently on the deck::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: no sir..

CMO_Garta says:
@*CO* Captain, every Empath in triage just doubled over in pain.  What's going on?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to twitch. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO: You seem to have your hands full, doctor.  Need any help?

FCO_Vince says:
*CMO*:  Medical emergency on the bridge!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the monitors and disconnects the power feed to the SB::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees OPS collapse to the deck:: *CMO*: We're not sure.  We have a medical emergency here.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@ *CO*:  Sir, We have restored main power over here.  But something is happening at a psionic level that I am uncertain of...

CMO_Garta says:
@CTO: Stay here and work with Pierce.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@CMO: Will do, Doc.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: but I am picking up an increase in the electromagnetic spectrum.. attempting to alter the shields to filter it..

FCO_Vince says:
::starts scanning Anari with a tricorder::

CMO_Garta says:
@*Bridge* Emergency beam out to the bridge! ::grabs her medkit::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Subconscious continues to receive telepathy. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Psionic?  You mean it's attacking the telepaths?

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION:  The Cyanite ships alter course and move to surround the two assisting ships, once more passing through their shields.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::modulates deflects.. and then increases the output::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Beam the doctor directly here!

Pel_Tor says:
::Stumbles to his feet, his head throbbing, walks out into the corridor and collapses::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breathing becomes shallow and labored. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  I'm not certain it is an attack as much as the sheer volume of information, but yes, essentially.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir the aliens have changed positions.. they are going for the other federation ships..

CMO_Garta says:
@<Houlihan> Pierce: They are all calmer sir.  I don't know what happened.

CMO_Garta says:
::materializes on the bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: What are they doing?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Commander, main power has been restored to the Starbase.  We've disconnected our link.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: unknown.. perhaps they are about to infect the other ships

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Power's up on the starbase, sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Mumbles... ::   Self:  Home...home...others...need...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Begins to slowly realize that the people affected are all empathic, then realizes this could be happening to his son::

CMO_Garta says:
@<Pierce> Houlihan: Acknowledged.  CTO: Help us get everybody back on their beds or mats.

FCO_Vince says:
CMO:  Thank Kahless your here Doctor.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Send a general alert to the other ships.  Transmit our logs to them and tell them to watch out for blue spiders.

CMO_Garta says:
::runs to Anari and begins to scan her::

FCO_Vince says:
::moves out of the CMO's way::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  I am able to sense it, but the speed of the transmission is too fast to understand.  

CMO_Garta says:
CO: What is going on?  Her brain activity is off the scale.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Whips around and looks at Pierce:: Pierce: My son!  he is empathic too!

OPS-Anari says:
Self: Home...gamma...need...others...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Tell AQilla to start disconnection.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: very well.. ::send alert to all the ships in the general area::

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION: Anari begins murmuring the words must... stop... destroy...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: can we activate the shields around the ship and the station.. and alter their output frequency to 8-12 MeghTz?

CMO_Garta says:
@<Pierce> CTO: Comm him, if he's in pain have somebody bring him here.  We don't have enough people to spread out.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Did you hear that, Captain?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to twitch and mumble ::   Self:  Stop...destroy...need...others...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: that should kill the telepathic input front he creatures..

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Horn to Commander Turnbull.  Commander, your power levels look good.  External power has been disconnected.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Must... Stop... Destroy?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*Pel Tor: Pel Tor, can you hear me?

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: It's done, sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets away from OPS and goes toward SO:: SO: Go to it!

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Stop...destroy...home...gamma...need...others...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Hears no answer from his son::

CMO_Garta says:
CO: Has she been in contact with someone or is something telepathically attacking her?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::turns back to OPS:: SO: Before Anari and other telepaths do their bidding.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CEO*:  We are green on all boards, Commander.  I think a bit of R&R will be in order for the crew after this...I must check in with our misting teams.  How is our progress on the 
flooded decks?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: She's been in contact with whatever intelligence associated with the Cyanites.

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION:  The Cyanite ships begin moving in toward the Scorpius and Obenogo in an attack pattern.

Pel_Tor says:
::Hears his fathers comm signal, tries to respond, but just falls face first to the floor::

CMO_Garta says:
CO: Captain!  Is this contact under your orders or can I break it?

FCO_Vince says:
CMO:  I believe she's been unwillingly receiving some form of telepathic transmission from those things out there.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to twitch and mumbles ::   Self:  Destroy...destroy...destroy...need...others...need...others...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: It's not under my orders.  Ris'Mor's trying to stop it.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Fears the worst so he sends a security officer to his quarters to check on his son::

OPS-Anari says:
Self: Stop...stop...destroy...need...others...

CMO_Garta says:
FCO: Beam us to sickbay.  I may be able to set up an inhibitor to help.  It'll give Ris'Mor more time.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir. the ships have taken up a recognizable attack pattern

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@Pierce: Pel Tor isn’t responding, so I sent a security officer to check on him.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: RED ALERT!

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Captain, could it possibly be them trying to communicate with us?  CMO:  Certainly

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Sir, I can hear words in my mind that I believe are result of the Cyanites.  Gamma...Others...Destroy...Stop...Need...others...repeated over and over.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  It's still going to be a while before we can get down there.  But at present, we're on schedule.  And I agree with you about Shore Leave ...

FCO_Vince says:
::jumps back into his chair::

CMO_Garta says:
CO: I'll see what I can do as well.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  STOP...NEED...OTHERS...DESTROY...NEED...OTHERS...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I don't think they're trying to communicate.  It looks like they're using our telepaths as their conduits.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir.. they can pass thru the shields..

CMO_Garta says:
SO: Good luck Lt.  I'll keep in contact.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Young...need...young...stop...need...young...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: What about modifying the shields?

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION: Electric feedback sparks trough the tactical systems as the Cyanite ships fire simultaneously using electrical based energy weapons.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::nods to the CMO not looking up from her console:: CMO: see if you can get a telepathic damping drug in the air on the ship

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CEO*:  Aye.  I would recommend only partially draining the decks...I have developed a water-borne version of the immunization.  We should begin it posthaste before we lose more crew to the Cyanites...

CMO_Garta says:
*Pierce*: Anari is in contact with something.  Keep a close eye on the others there.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I already did that sir...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
<Ens. Turner> ::Goes to the CTO's quarters, but sees Pel Tor lying on the floor in the corridor.  He picks the child up and takes him to sick bay::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Agreed.

FCO_Vince says:
::quickly pulls away to avoid being a sitting duck::

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Others...need...young...stop...need...young...destroy...stop

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::has an idea:: *CO*:  I am going to attempt communication through psionic means with the aliens.

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION:  The Cyanite ships fire again, shorting out shields and weapons systems.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Take a defensive posture.  CIV: Study the cylinders' systems.  Try to find a crack in their defenses!

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: shields down! hull breach impending!

CMO_Garta says:
SO: Good idea. ::is beamed with Anari to Sickbay::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
<Ens. Turner> *CMO* Sir, I found your son lying on the floor by your quarters.  I am taking him to sickbay, Sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: YELLS ::   Out loud:  STOP...STOP...NEED...OTHERS...NEED...YOUNG...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: AQilla!  I need power to the shields!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Furiously working to bring shields and weapons back on-line::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~ALL:  WAIT!!!!!!!!!~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
::at full + impulse, tries pulling away from the ships::

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Maybe we should give them whatever we've got in the science lab, sir.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Feels a rush of panic, then realizes that Pel Tor will be in good hands::

CMO_Garta says:
::runs an inner nun cal series on Anari::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Without shields and weapons, we may have to withdraw, Sir

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: No way!  That thing almost ate me!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  We're working on it!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Twitches uncontrollably. ::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::holds here ears down at the sudden buzz from a near by Vulcan on the ship:: eeerrrrppht!

Host Susan_SM says:
ACTION: Stronger telepaths begin hearing the words must stop murderers, must save young.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
<Ens. Turner> ::Arrives in sickbay with Pel Tor:: Anyone: Can anyone see to this child’s needs?

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~ALL:  You are killing us!!!!~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Out loud:  Stop...murderers...save...young...stop...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at Gomez near her:: Gomez:  Get on weapons.  I'll take the shields.  Get them back up as fast as you can.

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

OPS-Anari says:
Out loud:  Stop...murders...young...stop...save...young...home...need...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: I don't think that’s what they want..

Host XO_Himura says:
XO: It sounds like there are two sides to this story, like the Horta.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: they want us to let them harvest our crew...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears SO's comment:: SO: Out of the question!

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~CSO: What are you?  Who are you?  Why are you killing our young?~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to mumble ::   Self:  Stop...stop...murderers...young...young...stop...need...young...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*CO*:  Stand By sir...  ::sinks to his knees into a meditation stance::

Pel_Tor says:
::Mumbles a few incoherent words::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces one burnt out chip after another::

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* Captain, whatever is talking to her.....I think they think we are murderers.

FCO_Vince says:
::Is practically racing all over the sector trying to shake these ships::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Lieutenant, I am not going to willingly allow MY crew to become hosts for an alien species!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
<ens. Turner> CMO: Doctor, where can I put this child?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Eyes flutter as she continue to mumble ::   Self:  Stop...young...stop...murder...young...need...young...home...need...young...stop...murder

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  I am Commander S'Toran Turnbull of the Federation Starship Scorpius!  Your breeding is killing my people!~~~~~

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: I don't think she was suggesting that, sir.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::grumbles at the fact the human is too hot tempered to command rationally::

CMO_Garta says:
Turner: Over there on the bed.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I know that, commander.  I'm just letting her know what I'm not going to let them do so.

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION:  The Cyanite ships fire once more on the two Starfleet ships, causing showers of sparks to rain through various consoles on the bridge.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Do you have weapons lock?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::steps back from her console::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces the last of the burnt out chips and attempts to bring shields back on-line::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shakes head...mumbles ::   Self:  Stop...murderers...young...need...young...need...young...stop...murderers...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
<Ens. Turner> ::Sets Pel Tor down on a biobed then leaves::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: our weapons were also out sir..

Host XO_Himura says:
::wonders if she doesn't understand humans or just VanSickle::

CMO_Garta says:
::resets an inhibitor and applies it to Anari's forehead::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Damn!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Signal the starbase.  We're bugging out.

CMO_Garta says:
Self: That should limit if not cut out everything entering the cortex.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:   Engineering to Bridge.  Try the shields, now, Russ.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Set course... for Earth.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Still twitches ::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::waves her hand over the console to get the smoke away:: CO: right.. ::walks down to OPS and has a seat::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir, I have an idea... If we can contact the Obenogo

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  We are a peaceful people...we are only trying to defend ourselves...let us have a peace so we can meet...~~~~

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~CSO: Your kind are hosts for our young.  We must save them and you choose to kill them.~~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: And?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*CEO* Got it. ::reinitiates the shields::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
@COM: Starbase: the ship has lost shields and weapons.. we are preparing to evac.. please respond..

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION: Another burst of angry psionic activity affects the telepaths and empaths aboard the Starfleet vessels.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breaths easier, but still mumbles... ::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  We use the tractor beams in a cross pattern, we might be able to destroy them by smashing them together, assuming of course that our tractor beams are at all effective

OPS-Anari says:
Out loud:   AAAAHHHH!!!

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  But your young kill our kind.  That makes you murderers as well...why not make peace?  Let us discuss this as rational beings...~~~~

Pel_Tor says:
::Sits up, grabs his dead, and screams at the top of his lungs, then falls off the biobed onto the floor::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO/CIV: Do we have tractor beams?

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: NO! You are killing us! You must stop!~~~~

CMO_Garta says:
::readjusts the inhibitor::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Mumbles ::   Self:  Need...young...need...young...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::goes over to help Gomez with weapons::

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Stop...need...young...

Pel_Tor says:
::Lays shaking on the floor, head in hands, mumbling incoherently::

CMO_Garta says:
::runs over and picks up Pel Tor from the floor::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  We can work together for a solution that will help us both!  Can we cooperate?~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*Sickbay*: be advised.. shields are down and all dampening effects it was having on the telepathic energy are gone..

CMO_Garta says:
::sets him on the bed and gives him a sedative hoping to knock him out::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Or, we can retreat

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~::begins to probe the alien mind as in a mind meld::~~~~

Pel_Tor says:
::For a brief moment, opens his eyes and looks at the CMO:: CMO: Momma, help me.....

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: We still have tractor beams, bringing it online.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: If we have tractor beams, we'll try one last stand.

Pel_Tor says:
::Falls under the control of the sedative::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins to breath rapidly again... ::    Self:  Need...young...need...young...stop...murderers...need...young

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: that would leave what’s left the station personnel for the aliens

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Good!  SO: Contact the Obenogo and coordinate the attack!

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~All: Cooperate?  We know not this term.  We know you are destroying us, you are stopping our young from birth.~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
::opens a channel to the Obenogo::

CMO_Garta says:
*SO* Acknowledged.  I have applied a neural inhibitor to Anari.  It's helping somewhat.  Any chance of setting up internal force fields along these lines?  It could help protect us until shields are up again.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO: you know this better than I.. Have at it

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Try to lock onto the Cyanite ships.  SO: Tell the Obenogo to do the same.  FCO: Find a spot for all them to meet.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need...young...need...young...stop...stop...

CMO_Garta says:
::takes another inhibitor and applies it to Pel Tor::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Cooperate-work together to solve both our problems.  Because you are killing us.  Let us work together and not against each other.~~~~

CMO_Garta says:
::goes back to Anari::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
*CMO*: I'm not sure we can spare the power.. have you tried a drug yet?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Louder... ::   Self:  Stop...need...young...stop...need...young...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: We ready?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir this isn’t a good idea...

CMO_Garta says:
*SO* We can try it, but right now I'm the only medic on the ship.  I'll need some help.  I have incoming patients here as well.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Continues to help Pierce in an attempt to sedate the telepaths, just when things seem to calm down, they all jump up screaming::

FCO_Vince says:
::working over his console::  CO:  I've calculated the most likely coordinates based on their patterns thus far, and taking into account our relative position to the Obenogo

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: We cant even scan the Cyanite ships!

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: Work with fodder? How? We must save our young?~~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: What other alternative do we have?

CMO_Garta says:
::looks up to see another empath nearly crawl into sickbay::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Transmitting the coords now.  ::transmits to the Obenogo::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Looks at her monitor:: Self:  Darn it!  I thought I'd fixed them!  ::climbs back under the console::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: they have already proven they can by-pass our defenses.. you want to make them madder?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: The Cyanites won't reason to us.  We're either food or breeding stock to them.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need...young...need...young...destroy...young...need...young...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: They've made me mad as hell!

FCO_Vince says:
::moves the Scorpius into position::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  You call us fodder...but we have resisted...does this not show intelligence like yours?  We are different, but we can exist side by side...if you will let us...by working together.~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: and if we don't do something constructive here they will keep killing..

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: sir.. then I suggest you calm down

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need...young...need...young...destroy...young...need...young...need...home...need...young...destroy...young...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: your decisions are not being rational

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: They should be reluctant to destroy us if we have their young...

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I take it you want to stop their threat here and now?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  We and the Obenogo are in position.  They say they're standing by for our signal

CMO_Garta says:
Computer: Estimate chances of success for pumping an airborne telepathic dampening drug into the ventilation system?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: ::takes a breath:: You're right.  When it comes to the defense of this ship, sometimes rationality is thrown out the airlock.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: I agree.. they will most likely disable us and continue their harvest

CMO_Garta says:
::puts the new patient on a bed and applies another inhibitor::

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: No! How? It can't be.~~~

Host XO_Himura says:
::that's not good::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir, I believe this is a case of either us, or them.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need...young...need...young...destroy...young...need...young...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: that is not a safe nor wise habit sir.. I suggest you seek counseling for that

CMO_Garta says:
::moves to a nearby console and begins setting a force field to the inhibitor specifications::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: I would... if we had a counselor.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  I do not know.  But we must try.  Our alternative is to attempt to destroy each other.  Do you really want to be murderers?~~~~

CMO_Garta says:
::hooks a modified inhibitor into the console::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: perhaps you should see the doctor them..and take nerve pills

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Do you want to stop the Cyanite threat here and now?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV/FCO: Tell the Obenogo to stand by.

CMO_Garta says:
::sets the final specifications::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Face contorts in confusion... ::   Self:  Need young...you murder young...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::double checks and triple checks her repairs ... sure she's repaired the shields this time::

FCO_Vince says:
::smacks hand over forehead::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the FCO::

CMO_Garta says:
::turns on the field around sickbay then watches Anari for a reaction::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Is that tadpole that came out of me still in the science lab?

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need young...you murder young...stop murder...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: do you want to be a bat again?

FCO_Vince says:
SO:  A bat?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Apparently you became a bat.

FCO_Vince says:
::looks at CIV::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO; yes.. but there is no evidence it was IN you.. it was found in your cloths.. and since you were immersed in the gel.. it could have been looking for a warm place to hide

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Hold your fire.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  We only defend our kind.  You kill our kind to have young.  We can find another way to have young.  Find different fodder.  We MUST try.  Or you are murderers, as you accuse us.~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: I'm not familiar with all the animals .. after all I'm not from your planet

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~::waits for an answer::~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Hosts...our...young...need...young...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Cmdr. Turnbull reported from witnessing that llama, which was a crewman on the station, that they came out of it.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: the point is.. you would die..

FCO_Vince says:
SO:  Consider yourself lucky, you would have been mistaken for lunch.  ::smiles wickedly::

CMO_Garta says:
::scans Anari and sees her relax a bit more::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: true.. but there is no evidence that the one in the lab is from you sir..

FCO_Vince says:
SO:  I am prepared to die to save lives

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: However it came back with me, do we still have it?

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: How? No! It can't be...~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: would you die to become a fish?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
FCO: and lunch sounds like a challenge.. one I might take you up on..

OPS-Anari says:

CMO_Garta says:

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  It can be and is.  You hear my words for yourself.  Is this the behavior of fodder?  NO!  Let us work together.~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the CO form the OPS position::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: sir.. suggestions?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
SO: yes we do

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  My apologies, Sir

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: What do you think, Himura-san?

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION: The Cyanite ships back off from the Starfleet ships and return to their previous position around the station.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I await your order

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No work...unknow...together...need...young...you...kill young...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the sensors::

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: I think we should do something before we get killed.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: They are backing off.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: the aliens have backed off their attack pattern and are holding position...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~::senses the confusion and tries to project simple images to convey his thoughts::~~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Heading?

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO* I'm sending down a air mix to your console.  It should help the telepaths who are on board.  Can someone from your team hook it into the ventilation system?  I'm alone up here.

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Or... we could wait until the problem goes away on its own.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: you think it will?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: If the problem goes away on its own, we'd all be dead.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: They have resumed their previous positions around the starbase.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged Doctor.  I'll do it myself.  Give me a minute to get things ready down here.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO; what makes you so certain of that?

Host XO_Himura says:
CO/SO: I think it's at least alleviated itself a bit while we've been discussing it.

CMO_Garta says:
Self: Okay the air mixture plus the inhibitor is helping.  There's got to be a way of increasing power to the fields to stop this thing.

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: Why stop? We stop? Must find our young.  How will you help save them?~~~~

Host XO_Himura says:
::wants to retreat to her quarters but can't leave the bridge::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
XO: the commander is still on the station.. perhaps he has something to do with this.. he is Vulcan..

OPS-Anari says:

SO: That's right.  He may be trying to communicate with them.

Host XO_Himura says:
SO: Good thing he was around then.

CMO_Garta says:
::receives the results from Anari's inner nun cal series::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the XO and notices her fur a bit on edge:: XO; are you feeling well sir?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to the ventilation system and prepares it:: *CMO*:  Horn to Garta.  We're ready down here.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need young...need young...you destroy young...we no stop...we need young.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  I do not know, but if we can work together, we can find a way.  ::sends the emotions of confidence and assurance::~~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Himura-san?

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Sir?

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION: Scorpius' sensors detect odd transporter activity and the ships begin to move away from the station.

CMO_Garta says:
::sends the mix formula to Engineering:: *CEO* On its way.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: You look edgy.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the CO and huffs::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I am picking up odd transporter activity.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Mumbles turn into ramblings... ::   Self:  Need young...you destroy young...no stop to find young...need young

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Explain?

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: That's not important right now, sir.

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~All: Yes, work together.  We'll work together and take the young ones home.~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO/XO: the aliens are moving off sir..

FCO_Vince says:
::looking at a sensor display::  CO:  I looks like they may be at it again

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: The ships are moving away.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::receives the formula and programs the ventilation system to distribute it throughout the ship:: *CMO*:  Information received, Doctor.  Beginning to distribute it throughout the ship, now.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Let us work together.  Cooperate.  Help.  ::sends joy::~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  We find young...take young home...we work to find young...you destroy young...you murder young...

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO* Thanks.  I'm working on an idea up here, I may be contacting you again soon.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Self: S'Toran... *CSO*: S'Toran, do you read?

CMO_Garta says:
::looks at her patients, worry showing on her face::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Acknowledged and my pleasure, Doctor.  Engineering out.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::sits back in the OPS chair and taps fingers::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: As far as I can tell its the same transporter activity as when they are transporting someone off a ship.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Any person unaccounted?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Says clearer... ::   Self:  we find young...take young home...we work to find young...you 
destroy young...you murder young...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::hears the CO but does not dare respond lest he lose this opportunity to make peace and contact::

CMO_Garta says:
OPS: Anari, can you hear me?

Host Cyanite says:
~~~ALL: Yes.~~~  ::the telepathic communication between the Cyanites becomes calm again::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Checking.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves back to the shield controls and attempts to re-activate the shields::

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION:  All Cyanite ships disappear from sensors as their cloaking devices 
engage.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets a bit worried:: CIV: At least do you read Cmdr. Turnbull?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I am checking.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Our computers hold data.  So do yours.  Let us exchange data and solve this problem.~~~~

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  They've cloaked again.

CMO_Garta says:
OPS: Anari? ::places a hand on her shoulder::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Repeats again...clearer... ::   Self:  we find young...take young home...we work to find young...you destroy young...you murder young...we need young...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Overhears the COM signal from the Scorpius to the CSO::

CMO_Garta says:
OPS: What about our young?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::worried:: *CSO*: Cmdr. Turnbull, report!

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: All crewmembers are accounted for.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CO* Captain, this is Nmbarri.  Cmdr. Turnbull seems to be in some sort of a trance over here.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Repeats again... ::   Self:  We find young...we take young home...we work to find young...you hosts to young...you kill young...stop murder young...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::still on knees in meditative position...cannot answer the hail::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Well, at least they didn't take anyone unwillingly.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CTO*: Trance?  Does it look like Vulcan meditation or some telepathic activity?

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Looks at the CSO again:: *CO* Yes Sir, it does.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  You host to young...we find young...we take young...you murder young...your stop and destroy young...you murder...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  We will help.  Let us help.  ::sends willingness::~~~~

CMO_Garta says:
Computer: Compare all studies on this morphic activity.  Do the larva need humanoid DNA to grow or just humanoid tissue?

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~All: Home, we take our young home now.  There are no more.~~~~

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CO* He is kneeling on the floor, as if in prayer or meditation.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Bridge officers: Well, that almost confirms what has happened with the Cyanites.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more...no more young...we take home...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Doctor, how are your patients there?

CMO_Garta says:
Self: If they need the tissue can we replicate or even clone some non-living tissue for their needs?

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more...no more young...we take young home...

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* Still mumbling Sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Bridge to Tactical.  Try the shields now, Russ.

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* But calmer for the moment.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: What are they saying?

Pel_Tor says:
::Rolls over and lets out a small sigh::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, trying now. ::Attempts to bring shields online::

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* Anari keeps repeating something about getting their young to take home but we are murdering their young first.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more young...we take young home...you destroy young...no more young...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  What if I could give you a way to have young and not be murderers?  Would that be acceptable to you?~~~

FCO_Vince says:
::holding position::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Hopefully Cmdr. Turnbull has persuaded them they are killing us to create their young.

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* Sir, now she's saying "no more young".

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more young...we take young home...you destroy young...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CMO* Doctor, this is Nmbarri, How is my son doing?

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* Resting comfortably right now.  His abilities aren't very strong.  I've been able to block them.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CTO*: Nmbarri, how is the commander?

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  You destroy young...no more young...we go home...gamma home...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CO* he seems to be still in meditation, sir.

Host Cyanite says:
::curious:: ~~~ALL: Different way to have young? How?~~~

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CMO* Thank you, Jeni.  I knew he would be in good hands with you there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CTO*: Keep an eye on him.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@::Sits back and breaths a sigh of relief::

FCO_Vince says:
::listening to everything being said over the comm::

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Different...have young...   :: Face contorts in confusion. ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
@*CO* Of course, sir.

CMO_Garta says:
::listens closely to Anari::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Does your kind need living bodies to have young?  Or just living tissue?  
::sends simple images to illustrate::~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Different...have young?   No young...you destroy young...no more young...we go home...home gamma...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Sounds like Turnbull's become our negotiator.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  We have technology to make living tissue for your fodder...but will not kill our kind.  Can we try?~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: apparently sir..  perhaps you should let the commander handle the bridge while you finish calming down.. this situation is becoming delicate

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Have young...no more young...you destroy young...you host to young...you destroy young...we go gamma...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: and your admitted hot temper might get us killed at this point

CMO_Garta says:
*CO* Captain, if I understand Anari correctly, they are from the gamma quadrant and are preparing to go home.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sighs:: SO: Good idea.  XO: You have the bridge, Himura-san.  I'm going to be in the Ready Room if you want me.

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Sir!

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more young...you destroy young...need home...gamma home...no more young...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: mind if I speak to you sir..?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Be my guest.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*CEO*: Shields are up!!!!!!!!!!

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::gets up from the OPS chair and goes with the CO.. her tail flipping with annoyance::

CMO_Garta says:
<Computer> CMO: Cyanites live on live tissue only.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
<Gomez> CEO:  Sir, weapons back on-line.

Host XO_Himura says:
::stands to switch chairs and desperately hopes nothing happens until the CO gets back::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters RR::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Our kind uses verbal communication.  Does your kind have this ability, or do you communicate with mind only?~~~~

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  So I see.  You should have weapons back as well, Commander.

Host Cyanite says:
~~~ALL: Try, yes, we try.~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
::follows the CO in and stands there.. :: CO: would you allow me to speak freely?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
XO: We have weapons online!!!!

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  Then go home, and don't let the galactic doorknob hit you on the way out

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*CEO*: Yes we do!!!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sits in chair behind desk:: SO: What's on your mind?

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  You fodder to young...no more young...you...have fodder for us...you have fodder for us...you host to our young...you destroy young...no more young...

Host Cyanite says:
~~~ALL: We speak only as we are speaking.~~~

Host XO_Himura says:
CIV: That's good until they get taken out again...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: the last hour... your hot temper and almost destroying a first contact situation because your mad..

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  I will contact my kind and tell them to stand down and stop.  Please stand by.~~~~

CMO_Garta says:
Self: Shield and force fields aren't stopping them......why?  what do we need that they aren't doing?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Let me ask you a question.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: and! the fact you have a first officer who is sitting on the bridge being stepped on.. all over the place by you! I do take that personally since she is my kin..

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  No more young...no more young...need home...gamma home...no more young...hosts destroy...no more young...

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: ask away..

CSO_Turnbull says:
@::opens eyes and taps communicator::  *CO*  Turnbull to Scorpius.  I apologize for any lack of response you may have had from me.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  I'm installing anti-surge technology to critical systems.  That should prevent another overload, I hope.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Can we meet face to face?~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Fodder...have way to host young...no kill hosts...

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged, I hope you are right about that.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: When an alien attacks under your command and is using your people as food, what would you do?

CMO_Garta says:
Self: Fields are made to stop an attack.....not reflect it.  That's it, who do I turn this force field into a mirror?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: that’s not a fair question sir.. my actions are not in question here.. yours Are!

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  Need home...gamma home...need hosts for young...you have hosts...

Host XO_Himura says:
*CSO*: Scorpius here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Gotcha.  I just was trying to prove a point.

CMO_Garta says:
::turns and begins working the console::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breathing returns to normal, twitching has stopped. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: I'm not normally like this.

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*XO*:  Ah, Commander.  I have had the most fascinating experience.  I have been in contact with the Cyanites.  They posses a basic intelligence, and they communicate psionically.  I believe we have just concluded negotiations for a cease-fire.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: you have no point to prove sir.. if your temper problems persist I will be talking to SFC..

Pel_Tor says:
::breaths easily, mumbling has stopped::

FCO_Vince says:
::monitoring our position at station keeping::

Host XO_Himura says:
*CSO*: That's good.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: It shouldn't be necessary.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I don't care what's normal for you sir.. what I do care about is when you endanger the entire ship because your MAD!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles slightly... ::  Self:  Hosts for young...now no more young...home...gamma 
home...soon...

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*XO*:  They have agreed to work together with us to find a non-lethal means of reproducing.  I already have some ideas that I am certain will have success.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: so immediately attacking an alien that has proven that our defenses are useless.. and getting us all killed it perfectly by the book?

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: and the reason.. your mad?

Host XO_Himura says:
*CSO*: That's excellent.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: My anger isn't the reason.  Preservation of this crew was the reason.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Breaths easier, she has a slight smile. ::

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: then you let your emotions cloud your judgment regardless of the reason for them

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  New hosts...new young...no more destroy young...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Lieutenant, with that in mind, I have a job for you, and it requires you to be on the bridge more often.

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO* AQilla, I have an idea but I need your help.  I need away to turn a force field into a mirror.  We aren't stopping these telepathic messages now, but we may be able to reflect them back to where they came from.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: you do have a first officer! I'm not done yet!

CSO_Turnbull says:
@*XO*:  Due to the power of the psionic field that the Cyanites produce, I may reenter communication with them at will.  It is fascinating.  I have requested a face-to-face meeting if possible.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Sorry.  Go on.

Host XO_Himura says:
*CSO*: Sounds good.

Host XO_Himura says:
*CSO*: Shall we beam you over so you can get started on your ideas?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks about it:: *CMO*:  Jenise, we could try matching the frequency of the communication itself.  Is it strong enough to get any sort of reading we could use?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Lays silent with a feeling of peace and calm... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
@~~~~CYAN:  Are we able to meet face to face?  What is your kind like?  What atmosphere do you breathe?  ::sends friendship and curiosity and desire to learn::~~~~

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: the next time you feel mad.. step down and let someone with a cool head handle things.. take a walk.. drink coffee what ever.. but if you endanger this ship again.. and I will be speaking with Commander Turnbull about your temper.. I personally... even at the risk of a Court Martial will initiate your removal form command due to irrational

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: behavior! .. ::huffs and lets her fur settle.. gasping:: Ok.. now that’s over.. what did you want?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: I was wanting to assign you to be my Jiminy Cricket.

SO_Ris`Mor says:
CO: what?

CMO_Garta says:
*CEO* Yes, I'll send them to you now.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SO: My conscience.
