The USS Scorpius is currently on route to the medical conference on Tau Ceti IV. While at the conference, the Scorpius will be charged with security and diplomatic relations for the duration.

Host Gilles says:
Shore leave is authorized for all non-essential personnel, and anyone wishing to attend the conference will be permitted to do so. The topic is related to relief aid and the emergency distribution of food and medicine in a quadrant-level crisis.

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Looks like they are loosing power in other areas, too.  And sensors indicate that the damage has to do with their dilithium crystals.  Looks like they've managed to fracture them.  

Goombah says:
@ COM: Scorpius: Yeah ... those.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Understood.

COM: Pakled: Stand by and we'll render assistance.  ::signals Phylin to mute comm:: XO: Have Lt. Bodine lead a repair team to the Pakled ship.

CNS_McDonald says:

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hiccups again and sniffles some more ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: about?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: We probably should.  That guy doesn't sound intelligent enough even to fly that thing, much less replace the dilithium.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: True, but I hope they don’t make a major project out of this.

TO_Lane says:

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: do you think its because Vince left for his new command.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: With your permission, I would like TO Lane to lead the security detail to the Pakled ship.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Agreed.

Host CO_VanSickle says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Your protest is noted, and as AQilla said, your best security personnel are going over there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: You think it's Lane's time of the month?

::Double checks sensors:: CO: Sir, I just read another power spike on the transporter system.

Goombah says:
@ ::As the Scorpius goes the other way, the Pakled vessel comes about and goes max. warp the other way::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: But AQilla, Starsha and the rest of the team are back aboard, right?

TO_Lane says:
Tarkin: Back to work as usual.

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
<Computer> Warning... radiation alert... radiation alert... lethal dose in 5 minutes

OPS-Anari says:
<Phylin>:: Sees the same spike ::   CO: Confirmed sir

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: It appears that everyone made it back here ok.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Why don't you take some time off, Lt.  Relax for a bit.  You deserve it.

TO_Lane says:
<Tarkin> TO: Understood.

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
::taps communicator: *CO*: Bridge... we have leak in storage... ::faints::

TO_Lane says:
XO: Shift is almost over, Commander, I can stick it out.  Thank you though.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: TO:  After you, then.  ::moves to exit the TR::

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
<Computer> Warning... radiation alert... radiation alert... lethal dose in 3 minutes

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Analyze where Wr'nch was, and get him out of there.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears the warning:: *CO*:  AQilla to Bridge.  What's going on?

TO_Lane says:
::nods and leaves the transporter room, then walks to the nearest lift:: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Scans the Scorpius to find where EO_Wr'nch is located::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: We have some kind of warning going on.  We noticed two transporter spikes, then a coolant leak in storage, deck 19.  A man is down in there.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Computer:  Identify source and location of radiation leak.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  I'm on my way.  Have medical meet me there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Agreed.  *Sickbay*: Bridge to sickbay, have a medical team meet Cmdr. Horn at deck 19 storage bay.

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
<Computer> XO: Source is deck 19.... cause unknown... recommend evacuate decks 18 thru 20 to avoid lethal exposure to radiation

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::bolts to the TL:: Computer:  Deck 19, storage bay.

TO_Lane says:
*Tarkin* Have teams on deck 19, get containment fields set up, now!

TO_Lane says:
::enters the lift with the XO and waits for the doors to open on deck 19.::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Computer:  Agreed. Initiate evac procedures for decks 18 through 20  and initiate radiation protocols of the affected decks.

TO_Lane says:
<Tarkin>*TO* We're on our way!

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
<Computer> XO: Acknowledged

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives at Deck 19 and runs for the storage bay.::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Sopok> *CO*: We're on our way, sir.  Helene: Come with me.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives at the Storage Bay and enters ... looks around for the EO::

Host EO_Wr`nch says:
<Computer> WARNING!  WARNING !  Radiation levels near fatal exposure

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Helene> Sopok: Yes, doctor.  ::follows Sopok out from sickbay::

TO_Lane says:
::keeps pace with the XO and takes a deep breath before entering the Storage bay::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::finds the EO:: TO:  Over here!   ::picks him up and carries him out::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Can you start cleanup protocols?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Setting that up now, Sir.

TO_Lane says:
::runs over to help carry the EO:: XO: We have to hurry!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::goes as fast as she can to the exit:: TO:  When we get out seal off the bay.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::makes sure that tac teams have decks 18 through 20 sealed off, then has them set up and begin radiation clean up procedures::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Sopok/Helene> ::arrive near the lockdown area::

Host Gilles says:
<Computer> Radiation levels stabilized and contained to deck 19.... evacuate deck 19...

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  We have to get off this deck.  ::takes a look at the EO:: TO:  Looks like it's too late for him.  Come on, let's go.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*TO* Lt, I have that entire area sealed off, but the computer will recognize your and the XO's authority to let you out and reseal once you have left.

TO_Lane says:
::tries to hold onto the EO without getting sick from the sight:: XO: Understood.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Leave him.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The XO feels a churning in her stomach... and suddenly the contents explode out of her mouth.

TO_Lane says:
::eases him down and seals the bay door as they leave::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Can you beam Horn and Lane out?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks very pale as she barfs::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I will try, Sir.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The TO stomach quivers and follows the XO's example

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::attempts to lock onto the XO and TO to transport them off of deck 19::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The XO and TO are transported to sickbay... a mess on their uniforms

TO_Lane says:
::looks at her hands and sees them covered in burnt skin...  falls to her knees as she too throws up::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  You ok, Lt?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::suddenly finds herself in sickbay ...::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Pierce> ::sees the XO and TO arrive in sickbay:: XO/TO: You two all right?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees Pierce:: Pierce:  Oh, we're just fine <said sarcastically>

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Pierce> ::scans both XO and TO:: XO: You simply have radiation sickness... TO: While you also took on some radiation burns.

TO_Lane says:
XO: I'll be fine, what about you commander?

Goombah says:
@ ::Some distance away, the "Pakleds" deactivate their disguises, and chuckle ... having gladly acquired a bunch of anti-matter from the Scorpius::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  I'll live ... ::looks at Pierce:: Pierce:  Right doc?

TO_Lane says:
Pierce: This isn't my burnt skin... not if you're talking about my hands.  This is from...  ::puts the back of her hand to her mouth as she feels another wave of nausea::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Pierce> XO: Just need to take a few hours of de-rad treatments and you both'll be fine.
