Episode 4:  Alternatives...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
In an attempt to rescue the USS Sharikahr from destruction, the Scorpius was thrown into a wormhole and spun into what appears to be a different reality entirely.

Host Gerry says:
Thus far there has been very little radio signal and the USS Hydra, the Nova-class ship attached to Avalon Station has been found to be destroyed, though a number of escape pods are missing from the wreckage.

Host Gerry says:
The Captain has ordered a course set for Avalon Station, and the ETA is now about 20 minutes.

Host Gerry says:
The comms remain strangely and ominously silent...

CIV_Serok says:

CO_VanSickle says:
All: So, I would like to have some opinions on our current situation.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::walks through Sickbay, making certain everything was ready::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Absolute caution, Since we haven’t been able to make contact with anyone in the vicinity yet.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I tend to agree.  We don't know who or what we are dealing with here.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I would have to concur with the CTO.

CNS_McDonald says:
TO: what’s are tactical status?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Until we know what is occurring, caution is the better part of valor.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: Anything else?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Makes a slight course correction ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Curtis> CMO: No Ma'am.  Just waiting I guess.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: OK, we proceed cautiously, but what do you think should be our way about doing this?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Still hearing nothing in her earpiece ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: ETA to Avalon?

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: 20 minutes, sir

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  We should know more when we get to Avalon.  But our main priority should be finding the Sharikahr.  It is possible they came through the wormhole to the same point we did.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: My ideas that our being here could be a contaminate, both for us, and for the inhabitants of this universe, seems to be null at this point.  If the D'Vor is here, then we have the right to defend ourselves, and a moral obligation to protect anyone here also.

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Very well, Seeing as how we don’t know what’s going on out there or if the D'vors are still with us. Rig the Scorpius for silent running.

CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Did our sensors indicate that the Sharikahr is here?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears something in her earpiece...places a hand to it and listens carefully ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: You have something?

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow ::  CO:  Captain, as we know we are not in our correct universe, it would only be logical to entertain notions of returning.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Up until the time that we entered the ready room, I wasn't able to find any readings of the Sharikahr on sensors.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: How's the brother?

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: Sir, I am picking up a distress signal from Avalon...

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Put it on.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: His head will hurt but I think he has learned his lesson.

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I know that is a viable option, Serok, but until we do, we must find out what is going on, and maybe even try to affect repairs on our ship.

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: Sir...I'm trying to boost the signal...it is very weak at this time

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries a few things ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Very well, keep trying :: turns back to the TO :: TO: Yellow alert

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The automated distress call of Avalon Station is heard on the speakers...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: I'm heading to the bridge.  You have sickbay.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That is the logical course Captain.  Avalon Station is the closest facility for repairs.

OPS-Watson says:
CSN: There you go, sir...on audio

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: Yes Ma'am.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: Listens intently ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes her med-kit as always and heads to the bridge::

CO_VanSickle says:
::sees an indication of yellow alert:: *CNS*: What's going on, Cmdr. McDonald?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV/CO:  I have a question.  What would happen if we ran into ourselves in this universe?

CNS_McDonald says:
*CO* we have a weak distress signal from Avalon. OPS is just boosting it now and its on the Speakers.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: That would be one of the reasons that I suggested caution.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Likely, we won't.  I think everything that is going on here is a direct result of our absence for the last three weeks, of this universe's time.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Theoretically speaking Commander, if we were to come into contact with ourselves, we could cause the destruction of both.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  That's my point.  Did we actually disappear in this universe three weeks ago?

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Can you make out what it says?

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I tend to think of this as a cause-and-effect situation.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  A rather fascinating hypothesis Commander.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Listens intently ::

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: It's the automated distress call, sir...and it's repeating

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Indeed.  And one I hope we can avoid ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Would that mean that what goes on here is also going on in our own universe?

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Anyone remember the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: turns back to the TO :: TO: Sadek, lets bring phasers to ready and load one torpedo, we don’t know what we're in for.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Never heard of it, Sir.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  It could cause an interesting paradox.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::feels the turbolift stop and the doors open::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We know that each different universe diverges in different directions.  This universe could be very different from the one we know ...

CNS_McDonald says:
:: turns around :: CMO: Welcome to the bridge

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I haven't heard of it, Sir.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: It was made in the 1940s in the old Earth calendar.  It focuses on one character who made a difference in everyone's lives.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels her knees starting to bounce... ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::steps out onto the bridge::  CNS: Thank you. ::looks around::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  No Sir, although, I am well versed in the classics.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: Who're you lookin for?

CO_VanSickle says:
All: One Christmas night, he wishes he wasn't born because things for him have been on the down turn.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I hope so.  Because, if this universes Scorpius is in our universe now, and somehow gets destroyed, I wouldn’t want to suddenly stop existing.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: An angel comes to Earth and grants his wish, and everything he knows has changed for the worse.

TO_Sadek says:
::frowns:: CNS: Sir... All traffic on approach to Avalon is..... it is non existent Sir. 

OPS-Watson says:
:: Stops her knees bouncing...and listens... ::  CNS: Sir, there is a distress call from the U.S.S. Horizon...   :: Checks her console ::   ...she's two light years out

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Neither do I, Commander.  But think for a minute ... Avalon here has been attacked ... as far as we know that hasn't happened in our universe yet ...

CNS_McDonald says:
TO: Non existent? go to upper and lower EM bands

OPS-Watson says:
:: Still feels the butterflies in her stomach ::

CEO_Cap says:
*CO* Engineering to 

CO_VanSickle says:
All: I think maybe when we entered that worm hole and disappeared for three weeks, everything here was the result.

CEO_Caq says:
*CO* Bridge

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Just checking the stress levels here.  Usually the level here reflects the number of injured I end up with in sickbay.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: CO:  Indeed Captain.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: Captain here.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: walks up and places a hand on the OPS Shoulder :: OPS: just relax.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Interesting hypothesis, sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::goes pale as she thinks of her husband and children on the station::

CEO_Cap says:
*CO* The dilithium crystals are

TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CNS: I have done Sir... I..... Sir.... I detect a faint distress signal from the USS Horizon  0.2 light years away.

CEO_Caq says:
*CO* degrading for no reason

CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: Degrading?  How long until they're gone?

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: Sir...there is a distress signal coming from the U.S.S. Horizon...she's 0.2 light years out

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: anything more on that distress signal from Avalon?

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: change course to intercept.

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: No...it's the standard Federation distress signal

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: Very well, Lets hope whatever’s happening there they can wait.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks about what would cause the degradation:: CIV:  Is it possible that this universe is sufficiently different enough to affect our crystals?

CNS_McDonald says:
*CO* we've just picked up another distress signal from the USS Horizon, I’ve changed course for intercept.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the TO's uncertain speech:: TO: You okay Ensign?

CO_VanSickle says:
*CNS*: ETA to the Horizon?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Shrugs her shoulders as she is just an ensign... ::

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: ETA to the Horizon?

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  I do not have the exact readings in front of me, but, yes, according to what we registered. it could.

CEO_Cap says:
*CO* Approximately 5

CEO_Caq says:
*CO* Hours

CEO_Cap says:
*CO* Backup Crystals

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: 40 seconds

TO_Sadek says:
CMO: I am quite well Doctor....  it is the universe which is wrong ::continues to look at the readings::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO/CIV/CTO:  Then if that is the case we cannot stay here.

CEO_Caq says:
*CO* Degrading as well

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Looks like we have five hours to get home.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  That is also why the Captains hypothesis could not be correct.  This space time is different from ours.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I would tend to agree.  But, how to get back to our own universe?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO/CIV/CO:  Re-create the conditions that brought us here?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: If you sense any effects, I expect you to report them.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Maybe in inverse, it could work.

CNS_McDonald says:
*CO* ETA 40 seconds.

TO_Sadek says:
CMO: Of course Doctor ::continues to look at the readings almost ignoring her::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Captain, I would suggest we make all due haste to Avalon Station to effect repairs.

CNS_McDonald says:
TO: scan the horizon, I want to know what’s going on with her.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CNS*: We're on coming on out. All: Dismissed.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I must agree with Serok on that, sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  As must I.  All other conditions must be considered secondary.

CEO_Cap says:
::attempting to discover the cause of the degradation::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets up and heads for the bridge::

TO_Sadek says:
CNS: Unknown at this distance. 

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves to an empty science station and watches the scans::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, with your permission I'd like to head to Engineering.  I'll let the CEO's know what is going on.

CNS_McDonald says:
TO: well lets keep our eyes open.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Granted.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods and gets up::

CIV_Serok says:
:: turns on her heal and walks towards the door ::

CO_VanSickle says:
::gets up and enters the bridge:: CNS: What is the condition of the Horizon?

CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: lets keep a safe distance okay

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the CMO on the bridge as he enters, and nods to her::

OPS-Watson says:
CNS: Aye sir... ::slows to impulse::

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: Unknown we can't get a clear reading

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the RR and heads for the turbolift::

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Any other ships around the Horizon?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Horn to Cap/Caq

TO_Sadek says:
CNS: I do not detect any life signs from the Horizon.... I am speculating that one of the life pods and.. I detect 2 faint life signs from one of the pods.

CEO_Cap says:
*XO* Cap and

CEO_Caq says:
*XO* Caq here

CNS_McDonald says:
TO: try to get a lock on those life signs

TO_Sadek says:
CNS: Not at this distance.

CNS_McDonald says:
*CMO* Possible medical emergency. we may be beaming people to you

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes a seat next to the CO::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Helene* Cori, we've got two weak life signs in an escape pod.  Get ready for them.  They may be injured.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I hear you Counselor.  My staff is already prepared.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looks around :: CMO: OOPS sorry.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEOs*:  We think we may have an idea as to why the crystals are degrading.  It appears they may be incompatible to the normal makeup of this universe.  Is there any way we can isolate them from this Universe's mass?

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Negative Captain.... no other ships on sensors.

CO_VanSickle says:
::sees CMO standing on the bridge:: CNS: Uh, she's right there.  You can stand down now.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looks back to the CO :: I stand relieved.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: moves back to the rear of the bridge ::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: When can we be in transporter range of the life pod?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Sadek, is the situation with the dilithium crystals affecting tactical systems in any way?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> *CMO* We're ready.  I've prepped for exposure and malnutrition also.  No way of knowing who long they've been stranded.

CEO_Cap says:
*XO* Confirmed, the crystals are out

CEO_Caq says:
*XO* of phase with this universe

OPS-Watson says:
CO: 5 seconds, sir

CEO_Cap says:
*XO* The Quantum signature

CEO_Caq says:
*XO* is forcing the degradation

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEOs*:  I'm on my way down.  ::steps out of the TL::

CEO_Cap says:
*XO* It is not isolated 

CEO_Caq says:
*XO* To dilithium either

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::rushes down the corridor and into Engineering::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Prepare to lock onto the life signs on the pod and beam them to sickbay.  *Helene*: Cori, you'll have patients in five seconds.

CEO_Cap says:
*XO* All of our matter

CEO_Caq says:
*XO* is degrading

TO_Sadek says:
CTO: Until they are completely drained all systems will function correctly, however I would recommend we do use the ship's power discretely.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Locks on to the life signs ready to beam them to sick bay ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Agreed.

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Can you make an inverse equation of the warp imbalance that brought us to this space and time?

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: If you'll excuse me I'll head for sickbay give Cori a hand.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  Then it looks like we have confirmed it.  Our matter is incompatible to the make up of this universe.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Gets a strong lock and beams them to sick bay ::

SO_Zria says:
CO: I'm working on it Captain.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  The question is ... what can we do to stop the degradation before we return to our own universe?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: spins on his heals and heads for the TL :: TL: sickbay

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: You have four hours and 45 minutes.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: A hand with...? ::heads to the turbolift::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I would suggest taking the ship to gray mode.  All non-essential systems shut down until further notice.

CEO_Cap says:
XO: Unknown 

CEO_Caq says:
XO: thus far

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> *CMO* We have them.

CEO_Cap says:
XO: We are searching

CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Good idea.  OPS: Take us to gray mode.

CEO_Caq says:
XO: for the answer

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::taps her comm badge:: *CO*:  Horn to Bridge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Helene* I'm on my way.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: Anything that is needed, and to do an initial check on the psychological state of them.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Go ahead, AQilla

OPS-Watson says:
:: Takes the ship to gray mode ::

CEO_Cap says:
XO: The Crystals degrade

CEO_Caq says:
XO: Faster then everything else

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: IF they are conscious Counselor.  Otherwise, I need my people to do their work.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: No worries, I too was once a CMO so I know to stay out of your way.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Sir, we have confirmed that our matter is incompatible with the matter in this universe.  The entire ship has been affected.  The crystals, because of their makeup, degraded faster than this rest of the ship.  We need to get out of this universe now.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the turbolift and heads to sickbay::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Two injured people materialize on the Scorpius...

SO_Zria says:
::continues to go over the information on the console:: CO: Captain, it will take about an hour to work through this.  We'll need another warp capable vessel to work with to create the field. 

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Curtis> ::scans the second patient::

CNS_McDonald says:
::: follows in behind the CMO ::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Zria needs an hour to work the calculations, and we need another warp-capable ship to get this working.

SO_Zria says:
CO: It may be possible to use a warp capable shuttle with remote piloting.  I'm beginning simulations now.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters sickbay:: Nurses: What have we got?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: stands back on the sideline till he gets the go ahead from the CMO ::

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Wouldn't mass be part of the equation?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::has a thought:: CEOs:  Can we create a bubble to surround the ship?

SO_Zria says:
CO: Yes, but since we know the mass of the Sharikahr and the mass of the shuttle, we can compensate.

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Try it.

SO_Zria says:
::enters calculations into the computer and begins running the simulations::

CEO_Cap says:
XO: Wouldn't work the

CEO_Caq says:
XO: Bubble would be degraded

CEO_Cap says:
XO: Just as

CEO_Caq says:
XO: Fast

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO's:  Darn ... ok ... we need to plan for the degradation.  We need to work out what is going to go first and try to compensate as we go.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Bridge to sickbay, how are your patients?

SO_Zria says:
::pulls up the information on the Sharikahr and compares it to the information concerning the shuttle and calculates the difference::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Resume course to Avalon.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: This one has bumps and bruises.  Looks like he went through quite a scrape.

CEO_Cap says:
XO: What about finding a planet

CEO_Caq says:
XO: With dilithium in this universe

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* I'll answer that soon Captain.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sets course for Avalon and engages ::

SO_Zria says:
::makes necessary adjustments concerning the differences between shuttle and Sharikahr and re-runs the simulations::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  Might work.  We'd need to compensate for the differences ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Curtis> CMO: This one is conscious, barely.  I can't see why, he's in neural shock.  It's like his synapses have stopped.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to the situations table:: CEO's:  If we could reconfigure our systems ... it would buy us time but it wouldn't stop the degradation.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: Same here.  His brain shows some damage.  Definite neural shock.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I don't know what you'd get from either one.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: You can try with that one if you like, but I'm not promising anything.

SO_Zria says:
::watches the results, makes a few adjustments to the equations and runs the simulations again::

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: Right now nothing probably, but I don’t know if this might help what If i was to in a sense meld with them.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::works on Curtis' patient, seeing he's the worse of the two::

CIV_Serok says:
:: sits at her console and run a few hypothesis through the computer ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Horn to Bridge.  Sir, we have an idea that will buy us time ...

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Whatcha got?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Lennier, I don't think they have enough to meld with.  Their neural energy was drained.  ::reads the latest scan:: Damn.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Captain, I have one word for you.....D'Vor.

SO_Zria says:
::nods and re-runs the simulations to see if the same results are generated::

CO_VanSickle says:
Self: I knew it.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: Okay, it was just a suggestion anyhow.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> ::continues working on her patient::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Are they still alive?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: If you want to try I suggest Helene's.  He's in a little bit better shape.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  What if we find some dilithium from this system.  Only problem is ... bringing it onboard and installing it may increase the ships rate of decay.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Barely.  Though I don't know how.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: Very well :: looks at Helene’s.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sets the cortical stimulator on the patient's forehead::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: What can you do for them?

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: How are those simulations going?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  Let's run some simulations ... let's see what would happen and how much faster the decay rate would be.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: what the XO said doesn’t sound promising.  I Just hope the SO can find a way to generate a wormhole that will get us back to our own universe, and fast.

SO_Zria says:
::looks up and turns toward the Captain:: CO: Captain, we have it.  we'll have to use sacrifice one of the warp capable shuttles.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Help them die in less pain Captain.

CEO_Cap says:
XO: Already in

CEO_Caq says:
XO: Progress

CNS_McDonald says:
:: walks up and places his hands near the temples of Helene's patient ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to join them::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: You might have to do that.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: closes his eyes and then starts chanting silently ::

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: How much time before it can get to practical use?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pulls up a hypospray of pain killer as her patient flatlines::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Curtis> CMO: CPR Doctor?

SO_Zria says:
CO: We program the shuttle to work on remote piloting, tractor it as with the Sharikahr.  We have the adjustments in relation to the mass of the Sharikahr and the shuttle, we adjust by that equation.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: No, no reason.  His neural energy is gone.  There's nothing to come back to.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: makes the neural connection and concentrates trying to stabilize the patient ::

CO_VanSickle says:
SO:  Time, Zria?

SO_Zria says:
CO: the amount of time to program and launch the shuttle, approximately 40 minutes.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sir, one patient is gone, the CNS is trying to meld with the other to get information.  I don't think he'll make it.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  Anything yet?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: As long as we don’t encounter the D'Vor before then, we should be ok.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO/CEO*: AQilla, Cap, Caq, we have a possible solution to get back.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Let's hear it, Captain.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: sees flashes in his mind :: can't make anything out and then breaks the meld and collapses to the floor ::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO/CEO*: We're going to remotely pilot a warp-capable shuttle, and have it act as the Sharikahr.  Then we're going to re-create the accident in inverse, and that should get us back to our space-time.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::runs to the Counselor's side::

SO_Zria says:
::begins setting up the science systems and forward the necessary information to the proper people::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Lennier? ::scans him::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Makes a slight course correction ::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: waves the CMO off :: CMO: I'll be fine just got to be a little too much for me to handle.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: What did you see?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: Doctor, we're losing him.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: All I could make out was the D'vor attacking the ship.. nothing more.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::steps back up to the patient and tries again to stabilize him::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  It might work .... I don't have any other recommendations at this stage.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: We've got to stop them.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: The question is how.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Zria's getting things ready now.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: I can try to meld again. See if I can get more out of the patient.

CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to feel a headache come on::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::checks the readings on the console in front of her::

SO_Zria says:
::makes the necessary program adjustments for the shuttle::

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Sir... I detect no power readings at all from Avalon Station.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: stands back up and moves on the other side towards the remaining patient ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Be careful.

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Huh?  Oh.  Sorry.  I guess it's all this stress.  CTO: You have the bridge.  I'm going to sickbay for a moment.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEOs:  How is our power level.

SO_Zria says:
::begins the start up sequence for the shuttle and prepares it for launch:: CO: Captain, the equations are ready, the shuttle programmed and start up engaged.  Ready to launch and begin the process on your order.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye, Sir

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sets the stimulator to keep the bodily functions set::

CO_VanSickle says:
::before leaving:: SO: Get it started.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes the center chair::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: repeats the steps he used before :: concentrating seeing flashes in his mind :: Pulls away from the patient :: CMO: there’s nothing left for me to hold on to, he's gone.

CO_VanSickle says:
::in TL:: Computer: Sickbay.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: plops down in the nearest chair exhausted from the experience ::

SO_Zria says:
OPS:  Would you open the doors to shuttle bay alpha?

CO_VanSickle says:
::tries to breathe deeply, but feels a throbbing in his head::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::checks for a brain pattern::

TO_Sadek says:
CTO: All main power is down on Avalon and their battery power is almost expended

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::shakes her head and removes the stimulator::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Are we showing any life signs at all from Avalon?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: I'd say record the time of death but we don't even have names for these guys.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Turns her head and nods at the SO then runs her fingers over her console ::   SO: The doors to shuttle bay alpha are opening

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: I did get a few more flashes of the D'vor it seems i was connected with the CO or someone on the bridge in a way

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> CMO: I'll see if we have a match in the database.

CO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops near sickbay, I exit, then walk to sickbay:: CMO: Doc, you have a second?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: Thank you.

SO_Zria says:
::brings the shuttle up and moves pilots it remotely through the bay doors.  Moves the shuttle into positions::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: curls up in his chair ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Nurse_Helene> ::sees the CO come in and forces a smile before heading to the lab to find names of the dead officers::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches ships systems from the console in Engineering::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Yes, now. ::covers the last dead officer with a cloth::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees a light come on her console.  Checks it... ::  CTO: Sir, I am getting a signal from a computer in OPS on the Avalon...    :: Checks download time... ::    Download will take 4 minutes.

SO_Zria says:
OPS: Nadia, the shuttle is in position, did you receive the information I forwarded concerning this maneuver to recreate the warp imbalance?

TO_Sadek says:
CTO: At the moment I do not detect life signs.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Good.  As soon as you have it, I want to be informed.

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO: If you'll excuse me, I need to go lay down.

CO_VanSickle says:
::smiles back to Cori without saying a word:: CMO: Jenise, I'm starting to get a throbbing headache, right here... ::rubs right temple:: and here... ::rubs to the forehead side of the left temple::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Any sign of any vessels or anything else in the vicinity?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Begins to download information from Avalon ::    SO: Yes ma'am

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Go ahead, Lennier.  I'll come to check on you later.

TO_Sadek says:
CTO: Negative Sir.

SO_Zria says:
::makes the appropriate adjustments and begins to activate:: OPS:  Are you ready to execute?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Stress.  Here. ::takes a quick scan before heading to get a hypospray::

CNS_McDonald says:
CMO : gets up but as he does feels uneasy and falls to the floor :: Maybe I'll stay right here

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Keep a close watch on those sensors.  The last thing we need right now is the D'Vor sneaking up on us.

OPS-Watson says:
SO: Aye ma'am

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: So, what was going on with those two, and what was Lenny doing?

SO_Zria says:
::initiating sequence of events:: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: How long do you think it will take before we know if a wormhole is generated?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::presses a hypo into the CO's neck:: CO: He was checking to see if he could get anything from them telepathically before they died.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The hypo cures the headache of the CO completely, but makes him very sleepy.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  I'll be on the bridge.

CEO_Cap says:
::working feverously on trying to figure out how to preserve the ship::

SO_Zria says:
CTO: Within minutes, Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: They had their neural energy drained by the D'Vor.  The CNS confirmed it mentally.  Now, I want you to take a nap.  Lay down.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Keep me informed of the rate of degradation.  ::leaves Engineering::

CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to feel a bit drowsy::

CEO_Cap says:
XO: We will keep

CEO_Caq says:
XO: You informed

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Yes, ::yawns:: ma'am.  *CTO*: I'm going to be down here in sickbay for a while.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pushes a button to address inter-craft:: All: All hands, this is the Second officer.  We are about to attempt to create a wormhole to take us back to our own universe.  Brace yourself, the ride could become bumpy from here on out.

SO_Zria says:
OPS: Let me know when we reach warp 5 and I'll initiate the shuttles warp field.

OPS-Watson says:
SO: Aye ma'am...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Understood, Sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::covers the CO with a blanket and lowers the light over his head::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees her computer flash, the information having been received from Avalon ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looks up at the CMO:: CMO: gonna help me up Jenise.. :)

OPS-Watson says:
CTO: The information has been received from Avalon, sir

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Let me know if there is anything useful in that information.

OPS-Watson says:
SO: Approaching warp 5 in 4...3...2...1

OPS-Watson says:
SO: We are at warp 5, ma'am

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::lays the CNS down in the bed beside the CO and watches them both drift off to sleep::

CO_VanSickle says:
::closes his eyes, and takes a drug-induced nap::

SO_Zria says:
::initiates the warp field from the shuttle:: ALL: Warp field established from the shuttle.

OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye sir

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries to read the information and watch her console and navigation at the same time ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius and the Shuttle warp fields create a warp imbalance that spin the ships off in opposite directions into wormholes...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: let's hope that this works.  If not.... ::lets his thoughts drift away from anything negative::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::feels the ship shake as it enters a wormhole::

SO_Zria says:
::braces herself as the wormholes form:: ALL: Warp imbalance in progress, wormhole effect in process...

CO_VanSickle says:
::shakes in bed, but not stirred::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::as she is in a turbolift has nothing to hang onto ... ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries to keep the ship stable as the ship enters the worm hole ::

CEO_Cap says:
::braces::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Computer: Lock down beds 2 and 3.  ::watches the restraining fields pop up to protect the CO and CNS::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grabs onto a biobed to keep herself upright::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::flung from one side of the lift car to another::

SO_Zria says:
*CEO* Bridge to engineering, cut power to the warp core.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hangs on to the arms of the chair to keep from being thrown about::

CEO_Cap says:
*SO* Core power down...

CEO_Caq says:
::flips the switch:: *SO* Now

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Time dilation begins on the Scorpius as they pop out of warp and the wormhole...

SO_Zria says:
::begins the search for a time/location marker buoy::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::feels the shaking of the ship stop::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Receives damage reports from around the ship ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Calls an all stop to the engines ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship comes to all stop.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::slumps to the floor rather battered::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::feels the ship stop shaking::

SO_Zria says:
::feels the change as the ship comes to all stop::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Computer: Release the fields on both beds.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::addresses inter-craft again:: ALL" This is the second officer again.  We have gone through the wormhole, and are in the process of finding out where we are.  All departments report in for casualty reports.

OPS-Watson says:
CTO: We're at an all stop sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::starts to receive minor injury reports::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Very good.  SO: Can you determine where we are?

CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to snore::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Doctor, update the bridge when you have time concerning any injuries.

SO_Zria says:
ALL:  It worked, we're in our own universe, right location and the time marker buoy indicates that 40 minutes have elapsed from the point of our departure.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::stumbles onto the bridge as the lift doors open::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears something in her earpiece... ::   CTO: Sir!  The Avalon is under attack...    :: Listens again... ::   ...by the D'Vor!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Turns to see the XO stumble onto the bridge, jumps up to check on her status::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* I'm getting reports of minor injuries.  Nothing serious.
