USS Scorpius NCC 50666

"Bent Over Backwards," Episode II:  A whole lotta shakin' goin' on...

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

The USS Scorpius had arrived at her destination in the Badlands area of the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone.

Moments after arriving, she began to have minor malfunctions that effected equipment and systems.  

They were joined by the Cardassian Galor-class warship Trovestor, under the command of Gul Matraan. 

The Gul relayed that they were having similar problems and has relayed their systems data to the Scorpius to attempt to work on a solution together before attempting to locate the Maquis weapons depot.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::breathing ragged, struggled::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

:: prays the OPS will convert to a normal sinus rhythm

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* That's what I was trying to tell you Cmdr.  They've all got molecular decay in all bodily tissues.  That's why the CO's bones broke so easily.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Turns:: All: What the....

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::thinks, "Molecular decay?"::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  We're finding the same here with inanimate matter as well.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Containment fields on the Scorpius fail...

OPS-Inn says:

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Scorpius explodes in a brilliant matter-antimatter detonation...

Host Gerry says:
USS Scorpius  NCC 50666

Host Gerry says:
"Bent Over Backwards,"  Episode II Continued:  A whole lotta shakin' going on...

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius is en route to their destination, the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone to search for a Maquis weapons supply point.

Host Gerry says:
All systems are functioning nominally, and life has gotten back to normal on the Ambassador-class vessel...

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sitting at her console, grumping silently to herself... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge in the XO's chair::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Sitting to the left of the CO::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears grumbling from OPS while sitting in center chair:: OPS: Anari, you OK?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  It’s nothing…sir::

CEO_S`Tran says:
::in quarters, feeling uncomfortable having to report shortly::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands near Tactical::

TO_Lane says:
::rolls her eyes as she continues the diagnostics:: Self:  This is a waste of time... nothing is showing up.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Any sign of the Cardassians?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::checking his uniform one last time, he moves out of his quarters to the TL, and on to the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Huffs some more... ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I have a bad feeling about this.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::about to get up to approach OPS, but feels like something is wrong::

TO_Lane says:
XO: Still holding location, Ma'am.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::instead, instinctively locks down restraints::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hrumphs... ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::wonders if OPS needs the CNS::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Good ... Keep an eye on them.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Trovestor continues to have system problems...

TO_Lane says:
XO: They seem to be having the same problems as we have been having.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::as the TL doors open he gets his first look at the bridge... only it seems familiar::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: TO/OPS:  And still no indication as to a cause.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV/XO: Did either of you get a feeling something is not right?

TO_Lane says:
::monitors the Cardassian vessel as she continues the diagnostics::

TO_Lane says:
::looks up at the CO and wonders if he is some kind of looney toon::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Grumpily... ::   XO:  I've a strange feeling we've been here before...

CEO_S`Tran says:
::stepping out of the TL, he looks around for the XO and heads over to her::

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  No ma'am

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  No Sir, I don't

CEO_S`Tran says:
::coming to attn:: XO: Ma'am, Ens S'Tran reporting for duty, ma'am

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Somehow, I think you're right.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the CO:: CO: Are you okay?

TO_Lane says:
XO: No, Ma'am.  Diagnostics show clear.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks at the CO... ::   CO:  I think we HAVE been here before...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Welcome aboard the Scorpius, Ensign.  As you probably know, we've been experiencing malfunctions.  I think you're going to be busy for a while ...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Physically, yeah.  I'm not sure about emotionally.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I think the Cardassians know more than they are letting too.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Something feels strange... ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A ship shows on sensors with the signature of the USS Scorpius...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Full stop!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks curiously at the CO::

CEO_S`Tran says:
::nods:: XO: Aye ma'am. ::waits::

Host Gerry says:
<FCO_Fast>  CO:  Aye sir!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Well, what are you waiting for, Ensign.  You have work to do.

TO_Lane says:
::glances at OPS and then returns her attention to her console:: ALL: What?  I've got a ship on sensors with the signature of the USS Scorpius.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Perhaps you should come visit me in sickbay.  If everything is okay, we can talk to the CNS.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I'm not empathic like McDonald or Anari, but I think something's going on.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the TO:: TO:  You have what?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Ship that appears to be the Scorpius explodes in a matter-antimatter reaction...

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Looks at the TO:: TO: What?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Status of the other Scorpius?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears the TO and reads her sensors... ::   CO/XO:  Confirmed...

CEO_S`Tran says:
::nods again, assuming that the last statement was a dismissal, and leaves, heading for ME::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Put it on-screen.  Let's see it.

TO_Lane says:
::taps buttons on her console to confirm what she's seeing:: CO: Gone, sir.  Looks to have been a matter-antimatter reaction.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shields her eyes from the bright explosion... ::

OPS-Anari says:
XO: To late ma'am...    :: Scans for survivors... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::shields eyes from flash::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: This isn’t right.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Any survivors?

OPS-Anari says:
XO: No ma'am...all hands lost....

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks up at the screen:: Self: Oh no.

TO_Lane says:
::looks up at the screen in time to see fading sparks from the debris:: 

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::speculates:: ALL:  Could it be that we've just seen something from another universe or another dimension?  Could this be a bridging point between two different universes?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: No it isn't.  It looks we might be caught in something.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
TO: Scan for any temporal anomalies in this sector.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Scans the surrounding space... ::

TO_Lane says:
::looks over the sensor reports from the other Scorpius:: XO: Looks like before it exploded they were having trouble with key systems.  Sensors read severe failure of several of the key systems and some structural damage.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Scans the hull of the Scorpius ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: What can you read from "our other selves"?

TO_Lane says:
::nods:: Self: Scan for this, scan for that ::runs the scan for temporal anomalies::

OPS-Anari says:
CO/XO: Nothing on scans on the hull...I do detect an ion surge...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Ion surge?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CIV:  I suspect our "Maquis" infiltrators might be from another universe ...

OPS-Anari says:
OPS: I sense an accelerated cellular breakdown...

CEO_S`Tran says:
::arrives in ME and heads to his office to start catching up on his paper work and have a talk with his senior personal::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Yes sir...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Cellular breakdown?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I think we should stay away from that surge.

TO_Lane says:
::looks at the results:: CIV: No sign of any temporal anomalies, but I confirm the ion surge OPS found.
