Mission Summary:

Last time on the Scorpius, the command crew began questioning the supposed pirates.  Questioning began with the disguised Special Operations Officer, Russ Horn.  

He informed the Command staff that the pirates are really a terrorist organization backed by the founders, and known as GALE Force.  At the same time, a founder that was among the prisoners, made his escape and changed forms only to appear on the bridge as Captain Tyler-Turnbull, Sector Commander.

This added to the confusion after two Klingon officer's materialized on the bridge without announcement.  After Tyler-Turnbull was recognized as an imposter, the founder changed to his liquid form and slipped away through the floor plating.

The Founder is now in hiding somewhere on the ship and the crew is desperately searching for him.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::strides into the secondary bridge and readies himself for whatever will happen next::

EO_Kramer says:
::In the officers lounge, his mind drifts through possibilities of what he could accomplish, were he to be freed from this stasis field - his own private prison aboard a Federation vessel...quite unacceptable::

CMO_Garta says:
::leaves her quarters locking Pel Tor inside::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Stands in the darkness of the captains ready room, waiting for the changeling to show up on the bridge::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Secondary OPS checks the quantum stasis field and announces that it is holding and that the founder should be imprisoned in its current form.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Checks the power to the quantum stasis field and sees it is holding steady. ::

FCO_Vince says:

::On the Aux Bridge in her new chair::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::paces aux bridge, waiting to hear from his officers::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Captain, under the circumstances, I believe blood screening should be implemented

EO_Kellenway says:
::is on the aux bridge, manning the Engineering station::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Already on it.  Dr. Garta is handling that with her staff as we speak.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I had isolated the last variable mass change onboard to in or about the crew lounge on deck 10 and had sealed off the area before coming here.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'll go first

CMO_Garta says:
*CTO* Lt. your son is safe in my quarters.  It appears he felt it necessary to water my plants.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Opens her senses to those on the ship. ::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sparks fly from the auxiliary engineering station and Kellenway's hand are singed.

EO_Kramer says:
::He sits at a table in the mess hall, looking out the large windows at the twinkling lights...wondering what would be the most efficient way to escape his prison - and get off this ship::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  What about our two unannounced visitors?  Where are they?

FCO_Vince says:
::cuts his hand with the dagger, then holds his hand out so the blood drips onto the deck, and is still blood::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the EO and moves toward him. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: They're with the prisoners.

OPS-Anari says:
EO:  Give me your hands.

EO_Kellenway says:
::yelps and steps back:: What the??

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO* That figures.  He always did feel safe around you.  Thanks Jeni.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Removes her gloves. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::holds out his hand to the FCO::  FCO:  I'll go next.

EO_Kellenway says:
::presents his hands to Anari:: OPS: I'll be fine.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Anari begins getting readings of power fluctuations all over the ship.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
EO:  Are you all right, Ensign?

FCO_Vince says:
::wipes off the dagger and hands it to the CSO::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves towards the EO::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CSO: After you two get your screenings, join your search teams.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::rapidly cuts his hand and lets the blood drip to the floor::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears her console beeping and quickly looks it over. ::   XO: There are power fluctuation all over the ship

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Tries to remain focused, but with the idea that Pel Tor could be the son of T’Ran, and not his own is distracting::

CMO_Garta says:
::moves into the TL and orders it to deck 7::

EO_Kellenway says:
XO: I'll be fine, sir. Just a little singed.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Cause?

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Aye, sir.  ::cleans and returns the blade::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
EO:  Get that looked at.

EO_Kramer says:
::He looks slightly distracted and looks up to notice another officer, asking to sit near him. He nods politely and then goes back to his stargazing, listening idly as the officer drones on about his duties this week::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Replaces her gloves and moves back to her console. ::    XO:  Checking now, ma'am.    :: Fingers fly over console. ::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
CO: Captain, we are at your service to assist with finding this creature.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::logs into Aux SCI and scans the area for anything out of the ordinary::

EO_Kellenway says:
XO: Should I tend to the power fluctuations first, sir?

FCO_Vince says:
::hands the dagger to the CO::  CO:  Captain?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k: Thank you, captain.  Join Cmdr. Horn's team.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
EO:  Lt Anari can handle it till you get back.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: No thanks.  I'll wait for a hypo syringe.

EO_Kellenway says:
::nods and heads for the TL:: TL: Sickbay.

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  The systems are overloading.  I can't find the cause

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Override.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Understood, Sir, but you are aware that hypos can be tampered with if the Founder is posing as a medic

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over console. ::    XO:  Attempting, ma'am

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: That's why I'll have Dr. Garta do me.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Yes Sir

CSO_Turnbull says:
::attempts to pinpoint cause of power changes::

FCO_Vince says:
::takes the helm::

CMO_Garta says:
::meets with some of her group::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/OPS: Report.

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  My guess would be the Founder...

EO_Kellenway says:
::exits the TL, and makes his way down the corridor towards sickbay::

CSO_Turnbull says:
FCO/XO/CO:  I have an irregular lifesign in the crew lounge.  Attempting a beam out to the brig...

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  I am unable to over-ride.  Seems the power flux is coming from the core

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Belay that!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Tom, when you've finished in Sickbay get to Engineering.  We have multiple power flux's coming from somewhere near the core.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::belays the transport::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  As the power flux becomes more wide spread, the quantum stasis field becomes unstable and fails.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to over-ride the power flux. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CSO/Neo'k: You three join me.  I want to question this Founder personally.  *CMO*: Meet us in the crew lounge.

EO_Kramer says:
::With a sudden release of pressure from his body, he nearly looses his shape and uses his will to contain himself. Glancing down at his hand he notices the slight glimmer of a liquid reflecting light and he places the hand under the table surface, waiting for it to regain it's Terran form::

EO_Kellenway says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. ::sprints the rest of the way, not stopping until he stands in SB::

OPS-Anari says:
XO/CSO:  The quantum stasis field has just failed!

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Aye sir.  You want him cut out manually?  You're on. ::grabs his phaser rifle and sets it on wide-beam:::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
XO:  Where do you want to start with this search?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the CO:: OPS:  See what you can do about that field.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CIV/CTO*: Lt. Nmbarri, Russ, report to crew lounge.  The Founder's there!

CTO_Nmbarri says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CSO_Turnbull says:
OPS:  Scan for dynamic changes in mass with the internal sensors as long as you can.  Founders can vary their mass with their form.  It might help.

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Aye ma'am    :: Continues to work on the quantum stasis field. ::

EO_Kramer says:
::He glances down at his hand once more and then up at the junior officer who's been talking his fake ear off for the last several minutes. With a sigh, he stands from his seat and looks down at the pathetic solid with a sad expression:: Officer: Sorry sir, but I need to get back to duty...if you'll excuse me...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL, waiting for CSO, XO and Neo'k::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Leaves the RR and heads for the crew lounge::

FCO_Vince says:
::continues monitoring for activity outside the ship::

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  Aye sir.

EO_Kramer says:
::...and with that, he heads out the door, following a junior science officer along the way, watching the officers movements, and checking for motion from others around him::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::draws up to the side of the CO::  CO:  Locked and loaded.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::leaves the bridge and waits for the others to join her::

CMO_Garta says:
::finishes the update with her team and moves on to the crew lounge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Deck 10.

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::enters the TL with the others:: ALL: Let's find that creature.

EO_Kellenway says:
::gets treated, then leaves SB, heading for main engineering::

CSO_Turnbull says:
Neo’k:  Or today might be a good day to die...

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on deck 10 and heads for the crew lounge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Not if we can help it.

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  The SO turns down an empty corridor.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CIV/CTO/CMO*: Wait outside the lounge until we arrive::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks grim:: CSO:  I have no plans to die today, Commander.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Either way, it's going to be a party.  ::tunes his phaser frequency to Founder-specific::

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO*:  I have form fluctuation...deck...    :: Fingers fly over console some more... ::

FCO_Vince says:
::maintaining orbit around the debris field::

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the TL:: Deck 10

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the door to the lounge and awaits the arrival of the CO::

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO*:  The Founder is headed towards Engineering.

EO_Kramer says:
::He follows close behind the SO and nears him...his feelings extend into his hand as the fingers stretch and pull, forming strings and whips...and without mercy he reaches out and grabs the officer by the neck, twisting and trying to knock the solid unconscious::

CMO_Garta says:
::exits on deck 10 and moves quickly to the lounge door::

EO_Kellenway says:
::steps off the TL, and enters main engineering. He heads to his console, and sets to work on getting the core under control::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO/Neo’k:  He's on the move.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Where?

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  The SO falls unconscious from the founder's attack.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Engineering, sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Watches internal sensors. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Engineering?! *CTO/CMO/CIV*: Russ!  Nmbarri!  Doc!  He's heading to engineering!  Computer: Change destination to main engineering!

FCO_Vince says:
*EO*:  Be alert, we're detecting the changeling heading toward ME

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Tom, be careful.  The Founder is heading towards Engineering.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::Readies his phaser and kneels left and low, and waits for the others to set up a field of fire::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Punches buttons on her console trying to lock out engineering stations. ::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
CSO: That sounds like their most likely target.  Do you have guards there?

EO_Kramer says:
::Grabbing the unconscious body, he pulls him into a supply locker near by, pulling free the comm badge and placing it carefully onto his own - fake - uniform. Without remorse for the unconscious body, he steps over it and heads into the empty corridor once more, looking around and deciding his location::

CSO_Turnbull says:
NEOK:  They are en route from nearby...

EO_Kellenway says:
*FCO/XO*: Thank you, sir. ::taps a console button:: Comp: Computer! initiate security lockdown of main engineering. ::pulls his phaser from his hip, and looks around for anyone else::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Transport or turbolift?

CSO_Turnbull says:
::waits for the TL doors to open::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::waits for TL to stop at ME::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Transport, it’s faster

CTO_Nmbarri says:
Computer: Site to site transport from current location to main engineering...energize.

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  Sparks fly from the computer core as the power flux reaches its peak and ceases leaving all minor systems inoperable.

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL: Overlap our fields of fire...

CMO_Garta says:
::pulls her phaser to the ready::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::prepares his type II::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  How closely can we track the Founder's movements?

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
<Computer> CTO: Transporters off line

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::pulls out her hand phaser and sets it to the appropriate level:: CSO:  Ready.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to monitor systems, attempting to over-ride power fluctuations and keep an eye on any form changes. ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Checks his phaser and has it ready::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Mutters something under his breath that probably shouldn't be heard anyway::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
CSO:  Then let us get there! Now, before he does more damage!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at engineering:: All: Go!

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Maybe we could isolate him with force fields

CSO_Turnbull says:
::sight/acquire::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I can only track it with internal sensors...and only of the Founder changes forms.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::moves out into ENG::

EO_Kramer says:
::He walks up to a nearby wall console and begins tapping in several commands, attempting to use the internal sensors to locate several officers on the crew. Not quite satisfied with the results, he enters a turbolift and looks at the controls::

EO_Kellenway says:
::notices the power surge at the computer core, and puts his phaser away, returning his attention to trying to stay ahead of the surges.::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Then the Founder would be locked in Engineering

CSO_Turnbull says:
::sweeps left/right::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves out into Engineering, phaser at ready::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::takes rear of group::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Is he already there?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  And right now, I'm not exactly sure where the Founder is...he/she has to morph

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Runs to the turbo lift and orders it to main engineering::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::breathes and scans left/right left/right::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Any sign of it?

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::rushes out of the turbolift following the others into Engineering with his disruptor drawn...:: ALL:  No one move!

FCO_Vince says:
::cusses under his breath::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::scans area, pointing phaser every which way::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to try and get the quantum stasis field back up. ::

EO_Kellenway says:
::spins on his heel, hearing a voice, phaser snapping into his hand as he doesn’t trust anyone at this point::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*EO*: VanSickle to Kellenway...

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::whirls and aims her phaser at the Klingon:: Neo'k: What are you doing?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shuts down all non-essential power and tries to re-route it to the quantum stasis field. ::

EO_Kramer says:
::He sets the turbo lift’s location to Main Engineering, and then only moments later, slips into his gelatinous state, sliding out of the lift and into the turbo shaft...heading into the crawl spaces above Engineering...::

EO_Kellenway says:
*CO*: Kellenway here, sir. ::keeps his phaser leveled at the people who seem to be coming from all directions::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*EO*: What's your status?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I suggest we go to gray mode, sir.  The extra power can be used to reinitialize the quantum stasis field.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::arrives in ME, Phaser rifle in hand and ready to be used::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::rolls in behind some equipment and away from the Klingon captain::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Right

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::growls at the XO:: XO:  If he is one of those in this room, I don't want him to get away.  Now we need to start checking them one by one...::draws his dak'tag:: Do you want to begin?  or do I?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Patiently waits for the founder to return::

EO_Kellenway says:
*CO*: Staring down a few people, sir. Many of them have weapons

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k/XO: Both of you, quiet!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::holds out her hand:: Neo'k:  Be my guest!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Initiates gray mode and transfers the extra power to the quantum stasis field. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS*:  Seal off this area with an emergency containment field!  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k: Put that thing away!

CMO_Garta says:
::follows behind the group::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over console. ::    *CSO*:  Aye sir!    :: Activates emergency containment field in area of CSO and party. ::

EO_Kellenway says:
::moves to stand beside a bulkhead, in case a firefight breaks out. He has his phaser on max stun, but is being cautious nonetheless::

EO_Kramer says:
::He slithers through the spaces in the ship, coming out close to the coolant injectors in Main Engineering. Keeping as compact as possible, he forms several small tentacles, which begin to tear at the injector assembly, trying to pull them free and fill the area with the exhaust from the system::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::turns on the Captain:: CO: You have a better way?  ::slices his hand to show who he is and turns the weapon over to the CO::  I am who I say I am... can you say the same?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I am unable to reinitialize the quantum stasis field...however, there was a form shift in the turbo shaft.

FCO_Vince says:
::getting anxious waiting there::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS*:  I could use an update on the location of the Founder...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k: Dr. Garta is in charge of blood screenings around here.

FCO_Vince says:
*ME*:  Bridge to ME, we detected a shape shift in the turbo shaft right outside ME

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO* In the turbo shaft...but...

CSO_Turnbull says:
NEOK:  You saw mine.  

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Dr. Garta, could you extract a little bit of my blood with a hypo syringe?

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.  Seal off this deck.  Lock onto that signal and beam it directly to the brig!~

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  He could get anywhere from that shaft

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::nods:: CSO: I saw yours on the auxiliary bridge, yes.  ::mumbles about the Captain:: worthless coward!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k: Look, Captain, I do not voluntarily cut myself with a blade just to prove my worth!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Then do me.  Let's show our guest we are who we say we are.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over console; the confinement field has been erected; tries to get a lock on... ::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::searches around ME, looking for anything that seems out of place::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::begins to think of any kind of gas that might affect founders::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION: The plasma injectors begin to vent plasma and noxious gas begins to filter into engineering.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Neo'k: This is MY ship, and I make the rules!

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  Coolant leak!

EO_Kramer says:
::After giving up on the injector assembly, he crawls back into the ships systems, moving through the conduits above the Captain and the Klingon officer. Even in this state he can detect their presence and his hatred for the Klingon radiates strongly...he must go first...::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I'm reading a leak into engineering...    :: Tries to shut down the ventilation systems. ::

FCO_Vince says:
*ME*:  Try a wide beam phaser sweep at level 3 stun.  That should flush him out without damaging any systems

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: The founders in one of the Jeffries' tubes!

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I'm shutting down the ventilation system.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::walking near the coolant injectors, breathes in the gas and passes out::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::runs for an emergency EVA locker::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Get out of here!

EO_Kellenway says:
:looks over at the venting gas, and curses. He rushes to the primary console, and starts to work:: CSO: I'm going to try and shut down the coolant flow.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::heads towards the EO:: EO:  I'll help you.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Coolant Leak!  We have to eject the core!

CSO_Turnbull says:
::rapidly puts on an EVA suit::  EO:  Understood!  Be careful!

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
::storms toward one of the jeffries tube accesses:: CO: Then we need to go in after him!  ::yanks the door open and crawls in before anyone can stop him::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over at the FCO and sighs. ::

EO_Kramer says:
::Within a second he drops down and takes shape, grabbing hold of the Klingon's blade and swinging forward, striking out at his neck and chest...he then takes the blade and slams it into a wall console, watching sparks fill the area near him and VanSickle::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::fully dons an EVA suit::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::grabs a rebreather, then follows Neo'k::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain! Get out of there!

FCO_Vince says:
::goes to the engineering station and starts accessing the ejection systems::

CSO_Turnbull says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees the founder and backs out into the main compartment::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Monitors power to Engineering. ::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION: Engineering staff begin to down protective gear and swarm over the area where the leak originated.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: He's got Neo'k!

CMO_Garta says:
::runs blood tests on the group, starting with the senior staff::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::fires phaser into the JT::

EO_Kellenway says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Cant think of anyone better, sir. ::He attempts to divert the coolant flow to the backup systems:: FCO: Are you sure you want to do that?

FCO_Vince says:
*CO*:  Captain, you gotta get out of ME.  We have to eject the core!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, that's what you have Security for, Sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: hears klaxon sound advising of phaser fire. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir!  Coolant leak!  Get out of there!

FCO_Vince says:
*EO*:  What other choice do we have

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Evac!  Evac! ::rushes out of ME::

EO_Kramer says:
::He wields the blade and slashes at the Klingon's hand, attempting to grab the disruptor from his grasp::

EO_Kellenway says:
FCO: Give us a chance to find out. You eject the core, and we're dead in the water.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the CTO lying on the floor and drags him with her as she leaves::

ACTION: The weapon falls from the Klingon's hand as he grabs blindly at his assailant.

CMO_Garta says:
::sees the CTO unconscious and moves to his side::

FCO_Vince says:
*EO*:  How long till it breaches?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Look after him, Doc.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::widens the beam focus to wide-beam, heavy stun::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*OPS*: We're clear!  Eject!  Eject!

EO_Kramer says:
::He takes the weapon and fires it directly at the Klingon warrior, then, turns around to chase after the Commanding Officer, opening fire, targeting the officers legs and feet:: Out loud: You're mine...

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  They are clear, sir.  Eject the core

EO_Kellenway says:
::nods, and keeps working. He coughs a bit, trying not to breathe in effort to avoid excessive exposure to the coolant:: FCO: Couple minutes at best.

::Backs off away from the fire fight...tempted to take revenge on that pitiful Science officer, but knowing he can do more with the Captain...He closes his grip, considering cutting off the Terran's air supply::

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS* Erect a beaming shield around us!  NOW!

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  The founder's shots go wild and leaves the CSO and XO lying stunned.
FCO_Vince says:
::goes to the helm and moves us away from the core on impulse::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::throws a few elbows::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Looks up and sees the CMO, and in a raspy voice, speaks to her:: CMO: Lungs......hurt.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  I've activated a repulse beam and have pushed the core from the ship

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::holds breath::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Don't!....  Intagh!  Inertia!  That core is going to keep flying until it blows up, or hits something!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::lies stunned on the deck::

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO*  Aye, sir.   :: Attempts to erect the requested shield. ::

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Just rest.  We'll be taking you to sickbay.  Your lungs are a little burned.  Nothing I can't fix. ::smiles down at him::

EO_Kellenway says:
::leaves ME, looking for some nice fresh air to stop the burning in his lungs, hearing the plight of the Captain, but unsure where they are::

EO_Kramer says:
::He heads out of the Engineering section and tries to recall the ships specs and the quickest and most efficient way to gain access to the Shuttlebay and nearby systems::

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to monitor the course of the core, if it doesn't blow::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  That core is going to blow any time now.  You don't want us near it when it does, do you?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Leaves and heads for ME::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::Smiles back at the CMO:: 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::continues trying break himself loose::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I was going to move us off on impulse power

CSO_Turnbull says:
::shakes his head trying to clear the cobwebs::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smirks... ::   FCO: Sorry, sir.

CTO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: That’s why you are my favorite doctor.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Exits the TL and scans with a tricorder::

CTO_Nmbarri says:
::coughs::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moans and sits up ... still feeling dizzy from the stun::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Kramer: Let... me... go!

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: Just rest.

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION: The beaming shield erected by Anari, fails.

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Don't worry about it now.  Just stick to watching those internal sensors.  I'll monitor the core

EO_Kramer says:
::He forms a solid section on himself and uses it as a blunt surface to bash over the head of VanSickle, hoping that it is enough force to knock out the difficult Terran solid::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shakes her head trying to clear the onslaught of emotions that besiege her. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::dazed, but not out yet, then steps on the Founder's foot::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::rises to his hands and knees and sees the coolant coming towards him and the XO::

EO_Kellenway says:
::takes a quick rest, then heads for the aux bridge again::

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  The CO falls unconscious from the blow as the founder makes his way into the turbolift.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  You alright?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Spots the CO being dragged off::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Goes back to monitoring her console aware of the turmoil down in Engineering, and feeling helpless. ::

FCO_Vince says:
::once the core is at a safe distance, follows it on impulse, matching speed, if possible, but not exceeding::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::Picks up the unsuited XO in a fireman's carry and stumbles toward the Jeffries tube to get out::  XO:  Never better!  We have to move!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::delayed effect of blow turns off lights::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Anari, the changeling has the Captain.  Lock onto the Captain and try to track his location.

EO_Kramer says:
::As the officer blacks out, he removes his comm badge, and once the life has stopped, he heads out, leaving the badge behind, and heading in the direction of the Shuttlebay::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*  Aye ma'am.   :: Fingers fly over the console as she gets a reading on the CO's commbadge. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::pulls the XO to safety and seals the deck behind them::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  I think you can put me down now, Commander.

Host Cpt_Neo`k says:
ACTION:  The founder makes his way into the Shuttlebay, dragging the unconscious CO with him.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*OPS*: Lock out all systems, shut down the cargo bays, and the life pods.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  Aye, commander.  Force of habit.  ::removes his EVA suit::

FCO_Vince says:
::sets the computer to stay on this heading, and alert for any changes and to stop when the core detonates::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*OPS*: He may try to leave the ship.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console again... ::  *CIV*  Aye sir.

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS*:  Lieutenant, I'm betting the CO didn't get to keep his comm badge.  Scan for his biosigns.

EO_Kramer says:
::Using his weapon, he fires at several of the officers on duty, attempting to neutralize any resistance as he makes his way into the nearest prepped shuttlecraft. He recalls how many shuttle are on standby for emergency deployment, and makes his way into one...dropping the downed officer and preparing to ram his way out of the bay::

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  Can you override all bay doors and life pods?

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO* Aye sir.    :: Mumbles something to herself. ::

FCO_Vince says:
*Shuttlebay*:  Jorgansen, come in

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*OPS*: Have you located the CO?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::feels self fall like sack of potatoes::

FCO_Vince says:
*Shuttlebay*:  Shuttlebay, Respond!

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The startled officers scatter for cover and attempt to get to the weapons locker as they signal the auxiliary bridge that they are under attack.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Yes sir.  As soon as I get everything else done.

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  If you were a cornered Founder with a ship's captain as a hostage, what would you do?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Attempt to escape.  The Shuttlebay?

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I'll handle it from the Engineering console

EO_Kramer says:
::He arms the shuttles engines and main weapon systems, and without a second thought, he seals the shuttles doors, and opens fire on the Shuttlebay doors with all the phasers will give. As the weapons open fire, he lifts the shuttle off the ground and prepare to fly through the opening he intends on making::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Heads for the SB::

OPS-Anari says:
FCO:  Thank you, sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to stir::

FCO_Vince says:
::Goes to the Eng console and locks out all shuttlecraft, bay doors, cargo hatches, and life pods::

Host Susan says:
<Jorgansen> *FCO* Sir, we're under attack, attempting to return fire now.  ::watches as Smith reaches the locker and starts tossing out the phasers and the firing starts.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  With transporters out, the shuttles would be the only way off the ship.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Arrives at the SB::

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  You read my mind.  ::makes the after-you motion::  Lead on, or shall I?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Enters::

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Shuttlebay doors melt from the phaser blast and the shuttle punches its way out into open space.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Let's go!  ::races towards the Shuttlebay::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*OPS*: Do we have..............oh crap!!!!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::opens eyes, starts to see self in shuttle::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::sprints with the XO for the main Shuttlebay::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
*FCO*: Lay in a pursuit course of that shuttle!!!!!

FCO_Vince says:
OPS:  I see it on tac sensors.  I'll attempt to disable its propulsion

CSO_Turnbull says:
*OPS*:  Can you give us a read on the Shuttlebay?

EO_Kramer says:
::Checking the engine mix, he begins working on masking the shuttle's ion trail as he sets course away from the Scorpius and prepares to go to warp. Releasing several volleys of phaser fire on the ships hull, he heads away at full possible speed::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods at the FCO. ::

FCO_Vince says:
*CIV*:  Aye Sir.  I was about to disable its engines with the phaser banks

FCO_Vince says:
::slaves all but OPS to the helm station::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::groans::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  If we can get to one of the shuttles, we could beam the Captain back using the shuttle's transporters.

OPS-Anari says:
*CSO*  It's in our sights, sir.  We are in pursuit.

FCO_Vince says:
::at full impulse::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Enters a Type 10 shuttle and engages in pursuit::

EO_Kramer says:
::Raising the shields, he initializes the warp drive and hopes that there is no major pursuit of his shuttle, at least...not until he can gain a lead::

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors lose the shuttle's signature as the founder increases speed leaving the Scorpius behind.

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  I've got to disable it before it goes to warp

CSO_Turnbull says:
XO:  I'll fly, you beam.  Let's divert to shuttle-bay two.  I have a feeling we won't be getting into the main bay now.  ::changes course::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Kramer: ::weakly:: What do you want with me?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Plots a projected course of the shuttle. ::

FCO_Vince says:
::Is beside himself seeing the shuttle warp out of sight::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Shuttlebay 2.  And make it fast!

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Sets course and follows the shuttle::

Host Susan says:
