USS Scorpius  NCC 50666  10310.18

Host Gerry says:
"To Catch a Thief..."

Host Gerry says:
Episode One:  "...it takes another thief..."

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
A band of pirates with powerful weapons and defenses have been encountered in the Romulan Star Empire.

Host Gerry says:
The Romulan Government, in a fledgling spirit of cooperation with the Federation, have requested a Federation ship to accompany them on their mission to find and bring these pirates to justice.

Host Gerry says:
However, a new crew member, wanted by the Romulans for Capital Murder, has joined the ship at this time.

Host Gerry says:
Will the crew of the Scorpius be able to keep Captain Serok hidden while they aid the Romulans in their mission?

Host Gerry says:
Let's find out.

CMO: What is it, Doctor?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Comm.....AQilla, I don't know what I'm going to do with her.  We have to keep her safe but how?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  The easiest way would be to mask her biosigns.  Do we have any way of doing that?

OPS-Anari says:
TO: Anything on scans?

CEO_Bodine says:
Ens_Hammond: I want you to head down to supply and re catalog our spare components.

OPS-Anari says:
<Tameric>: OPS: No ma'am.

OPS-Anari says:
TO: Good.  Keep a close eye out.  I don't want any surprises

CEO_Bodine says:
<Hammond> CEO: Chief we checked the stores a week ago... I don't think ....

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I could give her injections which would make the human part of her stand out but if it fails or if the Romulans get one look at her, we're toast!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::looks over the new crew manifest and wonders about this Capt. Serok::  *XO*: Captain to Horn...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

CEO_Bodine says:
<Hammond> CEO: Aye Chief! :: heads down to supply with a level of joy only his duty could allow ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Go ahead.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looking around the bridge trying to get a sense of what's going on ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Just wanted to make sure that she wasn't busy with something you'd have her do.  *CIV*: Captain to Serok...

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: We've received a message from the Falconwrath. They sent coordinates for us to rendezvous with them...it's about a day's travel

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Set course for the rendezvous, Commander.

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks down at her com badge and taps it :: *CO*  Serok here.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.    OPS: Send the coordinates to the FCO    FCO: Enter coordinates and initiate when ready

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*CIV*: Captain, could you meet with me in my quarters, just a little get-acquainted session.

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* Do you think this whole thing is wise?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  What options did you come up with.

OPS-Anari says:
<Morgan> OPS: Aye ma'am.   :: Sends the coordinates to the FCO ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It's not her biosigns I'm fully worried about.  As far as scans, you'll show up just like her, half-Romulan, half-Human.

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*  Certainly Captain.  On my way.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*: Probably not, but we have our orders.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  And there could be a possibility that they think I am her ...

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* Agreed.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I've thought of collagen injections to change her facial appearance enough that she would appear to heavy to be the same person.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to feel a twinge from his right shoulder::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Yes, I've thought of that.  Which is why, for safety sake, I think we should put a transponder on both of you in case you are taken by transporter.

CIV_Serok says:
:: gets into the turbo lift :: Computer:  Deck 2.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CMO:  Agreed.  Cmdr Serok is on her way to the Captain's quarters.  Why don't we join her and discuss the options?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the CNS ::  CNS: Sir, you're part Betazoid...correct?

Host Gerry says:
<FCO_Lane>  Acknowledged.  ::follows order::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Fine by me.  Oh, and the danger is over.  As long as they are "pregnant careful" the CO and CEO can return to full duty.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: CMO:  I bet the Captain will love to hear that.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: The final tests showed they hold no hormones that can impregnate another male on the crew.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Let's go.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Go ahead, AQilla.

CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the turbo lift and heads for the CO's quarters ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Sir, the Doctor and I would like to join you and Capt Serok in your quarters.  We have a few issues to discuss.

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Yes I am part Betazoid..

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::follows the XO, her mind whirling::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: OK, the more the merrier, as the old saying goes.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the Ready Room and heads for the Turbolift.  Turns to the OPS:: OPS: The doctor and I will be in the Captain's quarters if we are needed.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CNS: I sense great frustration. Do you as well? ~~~

CNS_McDonald says:
~~~ OPS: Very much so. Especially from our guest ~~~

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns back and enters the TL::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: If it is okay with you, I'll let the CEO know he can return to duty.

CIV_Serok says:
:: arrives outside the Captain's quarters and rings the chime ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The warp core begins to over-produce and the ship jumps from warp 6 to warp 8.8 and is accelerating...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CMO:  Be my guest.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::feels a lurch, then hears the chime:: Door: Come in.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the jump ::   FCO: What's happening?  Why the jump?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Lt. I have some good news for you.  How would you like to get out of your room for a change?

FCO_Lane says:
::hands fly over the console:: OPS: We've just gone from warp 6 to warp 8.8 and still accelerating

CIV_Serok says:
:: feels the lurch as the she enters the CO's quarters, but ignores it :: CO:  Captain.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::feels the jump:: *OPS*:  What was that?

CNS_McDonald says:
Stands up :: OPS: Anything I can do..
FCO_Lane says:
OPS: I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that the warp core is over-producing.

CEO_Bodine says:
*CMO*: Commander I am out I'm on duty :: grins ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::stands up:: CIV: Captain Serok, we haven't met yet.  Capt. Eric VanSickle, commanding officer on ::clears throat:: "maternity" leave.  Please, have a seat.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Ah, one of my staff must have contacted you before I cleared it with the XO.  Have fun Lt. but be careful.  I don't want premature labor in my sickbay.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: walks back to the engineering console ::

FCO_Lane says:
::tries to do what she can from her console to get control of acceleration:: OPS: Warp 8.9 ... and still accelerating.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: CO:  Captain, correct my if I am mistaken, but you are male, correct?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::doesn't get a response to her comm so comms again:: *OPS*:  Horn to bridge!

CEO_Bodine says:
*CMO*: I'll do my best Ma'am

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the TL on Deck 2 and heads for the CO's quarters::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::points to shoulders after turning around:: CIV: As you can see, I am carrying two Tralframdrite babies on my shoulders.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: is running checks on irregular core productivity ::

FCO_Lane says:
*CEO* Bridge to engineering.

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: May I make a suggestion..

OPS-Anari says:
CNS: Of course

CEO_Bodine says:
*FCO*: This is Bodine here... 

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Emergency core shutdown..

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I see Captain.  Forgive my rudeness, I am Captain Suvok Serok, civilian liaison.

FCO_Lane says:
::continues to tried to gain control:: OPS: we're at warp 9.0 now

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::  CNS: Initiate the shutdown.   *XO*: Anari here, Commander

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  What is going on, Commander?  Are we accelerating?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::enters her quarters and sets the box down on the table::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Core fails to shut down.

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* I'm here on the bridge and going to be initiating an emergency core shutdown from here.

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: Do what you can to return to warp 6

CEO_Bodine says:
:: checks the safety interlocks and attempts to shut the core down ::

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Unknown at this time ma'am.  I've ordered a core shutdown as we are still accelerating

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Join the Captain and Capt Serok.  I'm returning to the bridge.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Prepare to eject the core if it fails to shut down.  I'm on my way back.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps a couple buttons :: slowly decreasing the amount of matter/antimatter getting into the reaction chamber ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: I've got that programmed in. Waiting on your orders to eject.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: I'm trying.   *CEO* The warp engines are continuing to accelerate, we're supposed to be at warp 6, and we're at warp 9.1.  Nothing I do up here seems to work!

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Acknowledged ma'am.   All:  You all heard the XO!  Prepare to eject the core

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I hear you're a fugitive.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands and approaches the FCO ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Aye Ma'am. ::approaches the CO's door and rings the chime::

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* You there? Can you eject the core from engineering?

FCO_Lane says:
::works furiously at her console to try to get the ship back to warp 6.0:: Self: This is crazy!

CEO_Bodine says:
:: runs over to the core and opens one of the 4 exchange chambers and attempts to cut off the supply of power from the dilithium storage containers manually ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: give me the word, I’ll eject the core.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the acceleration stops, but the ship is stubbornly at warp 9.2.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks back at the CNS ::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: becomes dizzy for a moment and Jerlec runs over to assist his Chief ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::rushes onto the bridge:: OPS: What's the situation.

OPS-Anari says:
CNS:  Will do...   FCO: Anything?  Can you decel?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Turns ::  XO: Getting a status update now.  The core is ready for ejection if need be.   :: Turns to the FCO ::  FCO: Lieutenant?

FCO_Lane says:
::relaxes a little as the engines stabilize:: OPS: We seem to be holding at warp 9.2.  I've tried everything that I can think of to decelerate, but it's not working.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Mind telling me how you became Romulus' Most Wanted?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::   XO: We've stopped accelerating. We're holding course at warp 9.2

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: we can't maintain this speed for long. I'd estimate oh.. half hour at this speed before we have no choice but to decelerate

CEO_Bodine says:
*OPS* Engineering to Bridge! I've stopped the power increase and its leveled off but still working on taking it offline.

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* What about a manual shutdown.

FCO_Lane says:
::tries again to bring the speed down:: 

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::rings the chime on the CO's door::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks at the XO ::  *CEO*: Acknowledged

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: CO:  Captain, that is a private matter that I would rather not go into at this time.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: Still no go on getting the speed down.

CEO_Bodine says:
Jerlec: What the hell did those blasted Starbase engineers do to our ship!!!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  What caused it, Lt?

CEO_Bodine says:
*CIV*: I have been trying that Sir, doing the best I can

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Well, if I am to help you stay one step ahead of the long arm of the law, I need to know what is going on.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Places a hand on the FCO's shoulder ::  FCO: Understood, Starsha. Do what you can

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moves back to main OPS since the XO has returned to the bridge ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Eject the core, Lt.  I don't see any other alternative.

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: Unknown will let you know as soon as I can

CNS_McDonald says:
:: steps back from the engineering console ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console as a message is sent to all departments the core will be ejected ::

FCO_Lane says:
::feels E'Laina's hand on her shoulder:: OPS: I'm at a loss.

CEO_Bodine says:
Jerlec: run a level 5 scan on the relays to the main core!

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* I can stay at the engineering console here and help if needed on the ejection of the core

CEO_Bodine says:
<Jerlec> :: nods and begins the diagnostics ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the FCO ::  FCO: I'm checking for any and all power surges that might explain this...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grunts and rings the CO's chime again::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::goes in to take a shower::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Door: Come in.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS: Also check to see if this was done to us deliberately ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the door open:: Self: Finally. ::walks in::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Suffice it to say Captain, the Romulans do not appreciate anyone who as committed capital murder ......many times.....on Romulan citizens.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks back at the XO ::  XO: Aye ma'am...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Well pick this up later.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Self:  I don't trust Romulans ...

FCO_Lane says:
::nods:: OPS: Sounds like a plan.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Doctor, where is Cmdr. Horn?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Of course Captain.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Captain, I am here to discuss ways of protecting Captain Serok from the Romulans finding her.  XO Horn was called back to the bridge, engine trouble.

CEO_Bodine says:
*CNS*: Sure, you can be of help try and help OPS route life support lighting and environmental controls to the reserve power systems and we can try an ejection from here sir .

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Oh, I see.  Must be about those lurches I felt earlier.  What's up?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  I can do that from the Engineering station here.  Eject the core as soon as you are ready.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, your tests have shown clear.  You may return to duty if you are careful.

FCO_Lane says:
::continues to watch her console, then tenses and her hand fly over her console to try to stabilize the SIF:: XO: SIF is dropping, dropping slowly, but dropping.  

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* got it! attempting routing now. OPS: I've been told to reroute life-support and environmental controls to reserve systems.

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: I gotta do the math I'm not so sure that is safe at this speed ejecting an active core while in warp could send a serge through out the entire ship the damage could be devastating!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Attempt to compensate.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees nothing unusual as far as power surges or the like ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/CIV: We will be with the Romulans shortly.  I was informed to find a way to hide the CIV in plain sight because she is in danger if the Romulans know we have her.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Thinks ::

FCO_Lane says:
XO:  It's at 88% and falling... seems to be caused by the speed.  ::continues to make adjustments::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps a few buttons rerouting the power as per requested by the CEO ::

FCO_Lane says:
XO: At this rate, we have about 12 minutes.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  I am well aware of the danger, Lt.  I don't see we have any alternative unless you can reduce our speed in 10 minutes!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: And that way is how?

FCO_Lane says:
::tries to compensate for the failing SIF::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I have permission from the XO to fit her and the CIV with sub dermal transponders in case of transport.  Due to their matching heritage, their biosigns are quite similar.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console again...checking for any tampering that may account for this ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: That is a good question.  My ideas have all been turned down.

FCO_Lane says:
::shakes her head as she continues to punch at her console::  Self: This doesn't make any sense.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks at the CIV::

CNS_McDonald says:
XO/OPS: rerouting of power from life-support and environmental to reserve systems complete.

OPS-Anari says:
CNS: Acknowledged, sir

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Good.  *CEO*:  We're ready up here.  Life Support and Environmental systems re-routed to reserve systems.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Prepare to take us from warp as soon as the core is clear.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Captain, why risk being discovered by the Romulans and face a death penalty?

OPS-Anari says:
XO: I've no signs of tampering or unexplained power surges

FCO_Lane says:
XO: Acknowledged.

FCO_Lane says:
::prepares for the drop from warp::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees a light on her console ::   XO: Structural integrity is falling, ma'am

CEO_Bodine says:
<Jerlec>CEO: We have a disruption in plasma flow in Junction CJR19 sir

FCO_Lane says:
::tries again to boost the SIF:: XO: Still failing.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Re-route emergency power to the SIF.  Try and keep it as high as you can.

CEO_Bodine says:
Jerlec: follow me :: they grab equipment and try and crawl into the Jeffrey’s tube ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Reroutes what power there is to the structural integrity field ::   OPS: I've given what I can spare to the SIF, Starsha

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  When hiding something, it is best to hide it,  :: searches for the correct vernacular ::  under the seekers nose.

FCO_Lane says:
::nods and re-routes emergency power to the SIF:: XO: Done, and we're down to 74%

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: what about the extra power from the environmental an life-support systems?

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: dump that into the SIF?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: So, why not alter your facial appearance somewhat?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Which is best to make small changes to your facial appearance.  You could sit on the bridge and they wouldn't know who you are.

CEO_Bodine says:
*CNS*: tell the XO to cease the ejection Jerlec and I are in the access way to the inner core looking for the culprit, as for you get as many systems off the core as you can I want to reduce the power going through the relays I am working with.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: FCO:  Also, place life support on minimal and use some of our reserve power to boost it higher.  see if we can get it past 85%.

FCO_Lane says:
::grits her teeth as she continues to try to get SIF back:: XO: The extra power has bought us a little more time... a few minutes maybe, SIF is back up to 79%.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That would probably be the best course of action Sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* Got it! XO: belay the ejection. CEO is working on it in the access way to the inner core.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: pulls our  a circuit plasma relay spanner and tries to find the obstruction::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I mean we can just round your eyebrows and your ears, maybe die your hair.  Bingo!  New person.

FCO_Lane says:
::raises her eyebrows but does as ordered:: XO: Working  ::places life support on minimal and switches any reserve power she can find to SIF::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears the XO and wonders why she asked the FCO to handle life support.  Shrugs it off... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Got it!  OPS/FCO:  Cease the ejection operations for now ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: You denied my suggestion of collagen injections which would last a couple of weeks at most.  What would you prefer instead?

FCO_Lane says:
::watches the result of that move:: XO: That brought us up to 83%

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: I'm going to try constricting matter anti matter flow more.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Good.  Try to keep it there as long as you can.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sits back and watches the power grid fluctuate ::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps a few buttons using more the magnetic constrictors to drop flow to the reaction chamber ::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: has Jerlec hand him tools he needs as he works as he is having problems moving around with his large shoulders ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Bring it down gradually ... if we can cut off the antimatter flow slowly ...

FCO_Lane says:
::bites her lip as she nods and works to keep the SIF at 83%::

CIV_Serok says:
CMO:  I would not like to have anything injected into my body.  But, to have the facial features reconstructed, I do not mind that.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: Already on it. constricting flow slowly.

CEO_Bodine says:
Jerlec: These tubes are hard enough to be in without being pregnant!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::finishes her shower and gets dressed, thinking about Eric and her surprise for him::

CEO_Bodine says:
<Jerlec> CEO: I don't know how you even deal with it !

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::feels a twinge in his left shoulder:: CMO: Doc!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Keep an eye on the power levels ... let me know the instant something happens ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Then lets get you to the ship's stylist.  She can help with eyebrows and hair.  We will go from there.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps a few more buttons :: seeing the flows of matter and anti matter slowly  stopping.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: What's wrong?

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Aye ma'am

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS: Oh, and also inform the Romulans we may be a little late ...

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: we should be seeing some effect we should be down past warp 9 right now.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  What's our speed?

CEO_Bodine says:
Self: awww I found it ... it's a micro fracture a piece of the insulation is caught in the stream !

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Check my shoulders.  I'm not sure if the kids are kicking or what.

FCO_Lane says:
::looks over all the readings:: XO: we're at warp 9.15.

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks at the CO in wonderment ::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: attempts to carefully use an extraction tool and feels the air stand up on his arms ::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: constricts the flow even more :: Self: Come on.. Drop out of warp.

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Aye ma'am...   :: Fingers fly over her console as she prepares the message ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::opens her ever-ready medkit, pulls out her tricorder, and scans the CO::

CEO_Bodine says:
<Jerlec> CEO: Sir please be careful move your arm left and up a little don't get to close to the exposed ends!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS: Ok, so it's working ... increase the rate of constriction just a bit ..

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: working on it! I was thinking of doing a fast constriction to see if it'll drop out.

FCO_Lane says:
::shakes her head as she continues to try to compensate for the failing SIF and overworking warp engines::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Only problem is that could blow the engines ...

CNS_McDonald says:
:: constricts the flow even more :: XO: Personally I think we could limp along at impulse if it means us dropping out of warp. Don’t you

FCO_Lane says:
XO: Speed dropping to warp 9.14, Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Hmm, now what could that be.....

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS: Do it.

FCO_Lane says:
CNS: That's IF we can get it to DROP ::snaps::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over at the FCO ::   FCO: I can't give you anymore...else life support will fail

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS: Cut the flow ... let's see what happens ...

CNS_McDonald says:
FCO: That's what I'm attempting. *CEO* Be prepared down there I'm going to constrict the flows to impulse power levels

CEO_Bodine says:
<Jerlec> CEO.. Oh My God Sir STOP!! 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: How could what be?

CEO_Bodine says:
Jerlec: What .... 

FCO_Lane says:
OPS: I know, I know...  I'm just trying to keep things stable and not taking everything out.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: Aye ma'am :: Cuts the flow to the reaction chamber in one motion ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Becomes more alert sensing EO Jerlec ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Hang on ... this could get bumpy ...

CEO_Bodine says:
Self: Oh what in the hell is that ....  *XO* Ma'am we have a problem!

FCO_Lane says:
::rolls her eyes at the Counselor's comment and keeps trying to hold the systems steady::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  What kind of problem?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CO: Something wrong with the kids?

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: There is a device attached to the primary flow regulators ... it looks like sabotage!!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Keeps her ear peeled to the CEO's intercom with the XO ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the CNS:: *CEO*:  I'm on my way down.  Where are you, Lt?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: The kids are showing a bit of stress.  I'm trying to....Captain, you need to come to sickbay....now.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: Still no effect, We'll fly apart at the handles soon if we don’t drop past warp 9..

FCO_Lane says:
::shakes her head at the way things are going:: XO: still at 9.135.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Please excuse us.  Perhaps the XO could use your expertise on the bridge Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::looks worried::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Helene/Jeahnie* Please report to sickbay, stat.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Do whatever you have to do to get our speed down.  I'll be in Engineering.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: I'm right behind you, doctor.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: uses a tricorder and scans for any explosive or otherwise dangerous or anti tampering technology ::

CIV_Serok says:
CMO:  Very well Doctor.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: aye Ma'am!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  How does it look, Lt?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: fingers fly over the console ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses great care being taken by the CEO and Jerlec's extreme caution ::

CIV_Serok says:
:: heads to the turbo lift ::

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: We're in one of the JT's not enough room .. hold on :: uses a tricorder to route an image of the device back to the main bridge ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: I don't like this one bit.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Eric, try to relax.  Everything will be okay.  Your system is growing incompatible with the twins.  Normally, a pregnant mother disposes of the unborn child's waste.  You're body isn't.  I'm going to have to take them, like a C-section.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks back at the CNS ::  CNS: Nor I, sir...   :: Gives Starsha a dubious look as well... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: You mean you'd have to put them in an incubator?

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: It's a bomb that is disrupting the flow if it goes off it had enough power to breach the core!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> *CMO* On my way. ::looks at the fancy dress she is wearing and heads to sickbay in it::

FCO_Lane says:
::continues to shake her head slowly in frustration:: Self: At this rate the systems are likely to overload and leave us dead in space.... or worse.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  I'm on my way to Engineering.  Try to figure out a way to remove this device without blowing us up ...

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps the console :: OPS/FCO: I'm going to try this one more time, hang on. :: fingers fly over the engineering console constricting the flow to near no flow ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Exactly.  They should be okay.  They are strong for their age.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CMO* Already there Doctor.

CIV_Serok says:
:: enters the turbo lift :: Computer: bridge

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: it does appear to be well made it will go off if i tamper with it wrong.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::has a thought:: *CEO*:  Can we bypass that part of the system?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::follows CMO to sickbay::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Jeahnie* Prepare for a C-section and incubators for the Captain's twins.

FCO_Lane says:
OPS/CNS: What's to like?  Something has our systems bunged up and unable to control.  Nothing we do seems to bring it under control.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbolift and orders it to Sickbay::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I won't be surprised if the CEO is experiencing the same problems you are.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles gently at Starsha a moment ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Bodine, are you feeling okay?

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS/FCO: any change?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks at her console... ::    CNS: No change here

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the lift and heads to sickbay, keeping the CO at her side::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: That must be why I'm taking all these naps.

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* I'm going to try a system wide shutdown.

FCO_Lane says:
CNS: Not much, if any.

CEO_Bodine says:
*CNS*: I need your help again sir ... can you work with OPS and see if you can route all the power the engines are using to one of the other 3 plasma conduits it will take time to work on this bomb, I can't rush

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  What effect on that device would a system-wide shutdown have?

CNS_McDonald says:
*CEO* Got it...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  Hold that thought for a minute ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: That is possible.  The poison has been building slowly in the sacs, which is normal but it just released into your system.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console ::   CNS: On it now, sir

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: can we reroute power to another conduit?

CIV_Serok says:
:: steps of the turbo lift onto the bridge and looks for the XO ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters sickbay:: CO: You'll need to undress and put on those patient pants. ::motions to the pair in Jeahnie's hands::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Working as quickly as possible to reroute power to another conduit... ::

FCO_Lane says:
::grits her teeth as she does what she can to help Lennier and E'Laina::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looks over at the CIV :: Captain :: nods ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: We'll get this done quickly.  When you are ready, come in and lie down on the surgical bed.  We'll do a few scans and begin.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO/Jeahnie: If you ladies don't mind...

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods at the Counselor ::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Commander, how may I be of service?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Lt. Bodine.  Are you okay? ::moves into her officer to get her surgical scrubs::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: hands to begin to shake and begins to get dizzy while working with the bomb using a fine instrument ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::moves into the surgical bay::

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* I need to do that shutdown now..

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::bolts into Engineering and heads for the situation display::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::quickly gets out of his uniform and into the surgical garb::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::enters sickbay::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Working feverishly ::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: has trouble answering the Doctor :: *CMO*: Now is a bad time ma'am

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* Commander, I have reason to believe the CEO is growing ill due to his pregnancy.  I need someone to check his condition and report to me.  He isn't answering comm.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets on the surgical bed::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Finally.  Listen to me.  You may be ill from the pregnancy.  If you are dizzy or nauseous you are to report to sickbay immediately.

OPS-Anari says:
CNS: I have power rerouted to another conduit.  Should be evident now

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  I'm going to lock out the affected system once power has been re-routed.  Then we should be able to slow down.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets her scrubs on and enters the surgical bay::

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* understood

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::walks into the surgical bay and sees Eric on the bed::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: What's happening?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the device comes free of the relay and the Scorpius falls out of warp, and the SIF rises to 110% nominal

CNS_McDonald says:
ALL: We're out of warp!

CEO_Bodine says:
:: tries to focus his eyes while Jerlec grabs his hand to steady it :: <Jerlec> CEO: Want me to take over sir?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: brings the engines to standby ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  Good job, people.  ::sighs with relief::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::looks back to see Cori enter:: Helene: Plans before this emergency, hon?

CNS_McDonald says:
*XO* thanks Cmdr. Engines at standby. Although I'd advise against warp drive for awhile.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: The twins are poisoning his system.  We are doing a C-section immediately.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  Agreed.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Bomb is still ticking down a set of numbers...

CEO_Bodine says:
*CMO*: I can't follow your order right now... I have my hands on a bomb...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Find out where we are ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: You need to get the CEO in here now!  He's probably suffering the same problem.

Host Gerry says:
<FCO_Lane> *XO*:  We're an hour away from our rendezvous, as it turns out.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* You ARE a bomb Lieutenant.  Beam the other one off the ship and get up here.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::locks out the affected system:: *FCO*:  Take us in, full impulse.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::finishes the scans::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: gets past the first couple safe guards as he continues to work ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CO: Yeah, I had a sur...prise for you.  May...be la...ter. ::kisses him::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::smiles::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Okay, we are ready to go. ::injects the CO and puts him to sleep::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::KO'd::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Jeahnie: Let's do this. ::picks up a laser scalpel::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  I'm on my way back to the bridge.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO*: Acknowledged ma'am
