Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:
Host Gerry says:
It has been just over two days since the abrupt cessation of a distress call of the USS Typhoon.  For the last day, long-range sensors have revealed debris consistent with a large-scale battle with energy weapons typical of the Federation and Gorn-backed races.  Little else has been found of use.  The Scorpius is approaching the last known coordinates of a ship that Starfleet fears captured or lost with all hands...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Slows the ship down to impulse ::
TO_Sadek says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks over and sees the new CNS is on the bridge::
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Moves to a seat next to the CTO::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Welcome aboard, Counselor.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: Thank you sir.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Let me know if you detect anything.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Civilization of reptilian humanoids.
TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CTO: Aye Sir.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: In as few words as possible, since we do not have much time, explain yourself to me.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Gorn forces destroyed the Earth outpost on Cestus III, claiming it was an intrusion into their space.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees power allocation is adequate for sciences and tactical and continues to monitor navigation ::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I am a warrior!
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes one final pass through sickbay::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I am also a great Klingon Lover!
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: That might come in handy, counselor, if we are in battle.  But tell me how and why you qualify to be a counselor on this ship?
TO_Sadek says:
::pauses and looks at the CNS thinking he is too full of himself::
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  The dispute over Cestus III was later resolved and Federation colonist settled on the planet.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Remembers to blink her eyes and continues to monitor course, making slight adjustments ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Was Cestus III actually in Gorn territory?
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I am half Ullian with full telepathic abilities of my mother’s people. I have been fully trained by the best minds, and studied psychology at the academy.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  At the time, it was never fully established exactly where Gorn territory began and ended, so it could have been or not Commander.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Very good.  If you come across any information that would be vital to this mission, you let me know immediately.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves into her office and sits at her desk::
TO_Sadek says:
::continues to scan::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: That is why I am here.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Very good, counselor.  I didn't mean to suggest that you weren't capable of doing your job.  I just wanted to hear from you, in your own words, what your qualifications are.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Sir, all I can tell you is that I studied the diplomatic tapes in the academy and learned to decipher the language, although, I can not speak it.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: But you can decipher it if you hear it?
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I am Klingon, do you doubt me.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pours herself a cup of tea and relaxes::
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I can Commander, in theory.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I Have the utmost faith in your ability.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Thank you Commander.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: If I doubted you, you would know it.  ::Extends a hand to the CNS:: CNS: Welcome aboard.  I trust you will find this ship to your liking.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: Things are more comfortable than I am used to, but I will make do. ::Shakes the CTO's hand::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS:  Feel free to make your personal space what ever you wish it to be, as long as it stays within federation parameters.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Tilts her head a moment listening intently ::    CTO: Sir, I'm picking up a very weak signal of some kind.   :: Moves her fingers over her console trying to boost the reception ::
CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow at the interaction between the new counselor and the CTO ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Can you triangulate its location?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::activates her console and enjoys her tea::
TO_Sadek says:
::scans near the source of the OPS's signal::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Sadek, anything on your sensors?
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: I'm working on trying to get a clearer signal.  The signal is so weak at this time triangulation is very hard...   Please stand by a moment
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Do the best you can.
TO_Sadek says:
::shakes head:: CTO: Not at the moment Sir.. .I am increasing resolution near the area.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Do you think it could it be an escape pod, by any chance?
OPS-Watson says:
:: Fingers move quickly over her console ::   CTO: No sir...the signal seems more like an energy leak of some kind.  I've located it to the far side of the system.  ETA 20 mins.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Set a course, and engage.
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: We are already on course towards it sir
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::studies the numbers and types of races onboard the Typhoon::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Oh, very good.  
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: Zria, can you identify the type of energy that OPS is scanning?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::makes a few notes::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Gets an idea:: CNS: Counselor, you said you are part Ullian, correct?
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: Half, yes.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: To what extent are your telepathic abilities?  Can you sense if anyone is out there? ::points towards the view screen::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I am sensing no one.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I am sure that it goes without saying, but if you sense anything at all, let me know.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: I will
SO_Zria says:
CTO: Sir, the energy reading is like a power leak, a type of ion radiation.  It appears to form a distinct trail.
SO_Zria says:
CTO: I'm trying to get a lock on the pattern and will forward it to the helm.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Can you tell if that trail is leading towards, or away from us?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The SO resolves the location of the leak and transfers the location to the helm
OPS-Watson says:
:: While monitoring navigation, the conversation between the CTO and new CNS suddenly hits her.  She looks back at the CNS a moment, noting his stature, queries the computer for quarters for someone like him, receives the information and sends it to the CNS's chair. ::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Jeahnie*: It looks like we might need some extra equipment.  The Typhoon has a few crew that the Scorpius doesn't.  I'll send you a list.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Receives information from the SO ::   CTO: Neither sir...looks like the vessel is adrift.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CMO* I'll get on it right away.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sends Jeahnie the list and continues her study::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: You are certain that it is a vessel now?
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Notices the info on his chair::
SO_Zria says:
::forwards the course information to the helm::
OPS-Watson says:
:: Brows knit together a moment ::
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye sir...we're close enough for me to read it's an escape pod of some sort...
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: ETA is 1 minute now.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: Are you reading any life signs on that pod?
OPS-Watson says:
:: Maneuvers the ship to come along side the pod ::
SO_Zria says:
CTO: Yes, 2 life signs sir, but they are very weak.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::refills her tea and opens a Zaldan anatomy file::
OPS-Watson says:
:: Pulls the ship alongside the pod ::   CTO: Sir, the pod is to our starboard side.    :: Slows the Scorpius down just a bit ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Lock a tractor beam onto that pod.  Beam the inhabitants to sickbay, then tractor the pod into cargo bay 1.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sickbay* Bridge to sickbay.
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye sir.   :: Fingers fly over her console getting a lock on the occupants ::    *CMO*: Doctor, you are receiving visitors...
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Bridge* Sickbay here, go ahead.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A human male and an Andorian male in Starfleet uniforms materialize in sickbay
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*OPS* Got it.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads into the main bay just as the patients materialize::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Jeni, you should received the inhabitants of an escape pod that we just encountered.  let me know what you can about them.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Staff: Okay, people.  Let's go. ::moves to the Andorian with Curtis and they heave him onto a biobed.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Gets a tractor beam on the pod and brings it into cargo bay 1 ::    CTO: It looks like we are just in time...life support failed about a day ago
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Got them.  It might be a good idea to get that new CNS ready for some work.  When they wake up, they'll need somebody close.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Counselor, your assistance may be needed in sickbay.  Please go there and assist in finding out whom these people are, and why they were in that pod.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::moves to the human male with Helene and they move him to a biobed::
OPS-Watson says:
:: Resumes course at impulse ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Now they are in the hands of the CMO and her staff.  That is probably for the best.
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Stands:: CTO: I will report as soon as possible.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::begins scans of the Andorian::
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Exits the bridge::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: Take an ID scan and see if the computer can place them.
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye, sir
TO_Sadek says:
CTO: I detect evidence of Gorn disruptors on the life-pod.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> CMO: Yes Ma'am.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::thinks to himself, as soon as possible, but before he can question the CNS, the CNS left the bridge::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::scans the human after she sees the pips on his uniform::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: You are certain of this?
TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CTO: Quite certain Sir.
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Arrives in sickbay::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> CMO: This one has 4 pips on his collar.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Dispatch a subspace message to star fleet command.  let them know about the pod, and that we believe it was fired upon by the Gorn.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::checks the computer::
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye sir.    :: Composes a message to Starfleet advising of the situation and sends it off... ::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks up:: CNS: Welcome back to sickbay Counselor.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: Thank you doctor.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Keep the long-range sensors at maximum.  I don't want the Gorn to sneak up on us.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Gets a feedback of some kind and checks her console ::   CTO: Sir, that message to Starfleet is being jammed...remotely.    :: Tries to locate the source of the jam ::   I'm trying to locate the source now...
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> CMO: You have Ensign Rhytan, the Flight Control Officer.  Jeahnie is working on Aaron Johnson, Captain of the Typhoon.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pounds his fist on the arm of his chair:: 
OPS-Watson says:
:: Brows come together again in confusion.  Fingers fly over her console again to confirm... ::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: I've got some cellular disruption, a collapsed lung, and third degree burns over 45% of his body.
TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CTO: Aye Sir.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Can your sensors detect the source of the jam?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> Helene: Our Captain has cellular disruption, 4 broken ribs, third degree burns, and a ruptured spleen.
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Sir...    :: Turns around in her chair ::   There are a series of jamming buoys scattered through out the system.  They are the source of the jammed signal
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* T'Lok, you aren't going to like this.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Might as well add it to the rest of the information that I don't like.  What do you have to report?
OPS-Watson says:
:: Turns back around to her console ::
TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CTO: I can now Sir... I am now detecting system wide buoys deployed to jam communication signals thought subspace.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Can you pinpoint the exact location of those buoys?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* We have the Typhoon's Captain and FCO.  They've been nailed with an energy weapon.  Both have third degree burns and cellular disruption.  On top of that, they both have some severe injuries.  We can stabilize, but if these are the two who got away.....::leaves the rest of the comment unfinished.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::continues to work on her patient:: Curtis: Start working on those burns.  I'll stop the cellular damage, then we can work on the rest.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks around the bridge after hearing what the CMO told him:: All: Well, this doesn’t bode well for the rest of the Typhoon, or Admiral Taylor.  
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: It's a series of buoys scattered throughout the system.  I can try sir, but at this time, it could be dozens, hundreds or even thousands of them in place...
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: You know your way around a dermal regenerator Counselor?  These two won't be awake for a while.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::prepares Johnson for surgery::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Is there anything that we can do to disrupt the signal from those buoys?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::moves into the surgical bay, ready to work on the ruptured spleen::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: I did study a little bit of Medicine at the academy.
TO_Sadek says:
::raises both eyebrows:: CTO: I do not believe we can find them all. I... sensors detect a large debris field at bearing 0 mark 90... approximately 10000km.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Then come on over.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Thinks hard ::   CTO: Sir, if they are linked via some type of subspace signal, we might be able to...but we would have to find one and inspect it, I would think.
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Moves to the CMO::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::moves her patient into surgery:: CMO: Be back later.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Set a course for that debris field, and engage first.  We need to find the Typhoon first and foremost.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hands the CNS a dermal regenerator:: CNS: This is going to be slow with these burns.  Start on his shoulder.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Sets course for the debris field ::   CTO: Aye sir
CIV_Serok says:
:: begins looking at the options available for disruption of mechanical devices ::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: As you wish.
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Takes the regenerator and begins his work::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::opens the FCO's chest enough to gain access to the lung::
CIV_Serok says:
:: looks down at the console of sensor data coming in ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: While we are searching the field, attempt to find one of those buoys.  OPS has a good idea about finding one, and inspecting it.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Commander, there is an unusual type of radiation permeating the debris field.
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: ETA to the debris field is one-minute sir.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::slowly expands the lung::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Specify, if you can/
TO_Sadek says:
CTO: I shall attempt to do so Sir.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  It is not like anything on record Commander.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Will our shields protect us?
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I am calculating now Sir.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Can you scan that field from here?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I hope your classes got you ready for multiple species not to mention multiple quirks.  We are quite the bunch around here.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Slows the ship to 1/4 impulse ::   CTO: Slowed the ship to 1/4 impulse.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks back at the CTO ::  CTO: I could sir, but wouldn't the sciences or tactical be better at that?
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Feels something at the base of his skull not like a pain but more like a tickle::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> ::begins repairing the spleen damage::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> ::works with Jeahnie slowly::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: I Want all scanners running at this point.  TO/SO: I want you to scan that field, and find out everything possible about it.
CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  No Sir, the shielding will not protect us.
SO_Zria says:
CTO: Aye sir.
TO_Sadek says:
::frowns:: CTO: Sir... I believe I am detecting something via telepathy. No words more of... a ... .::looks to the CIV::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: Doctor.
OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels really retarded now... ::   CTO: Aye sir.    :: Fine tunes communications and listens carefully ::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: All stop at this location.
CIV_Serok says:
:: feels the tingling and turns her head quickly to look at the TO...fear in her thoughts ::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Yes, Counselor?
TO_Sadek says:
::frowns in puzzlement and clenches his fist::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: I have a problem doctor.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS:  I know that it is unusual to have OPS doing scans.  But, understand the importance of this mission.  We all need to act together as a team.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Spit it out Counselor.  My hands are a bit busy at the moment.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::closes the incision after the lung is fully inflated::
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: I felt a sensation at the base of my skull and now I am developing a headache.
SO_Zria says:
::watches the scan results trying to find out anything possible about the field::
OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks back to the CTO ::   CTO: Sir...what exactly am I looking for, then?
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: A sensation?  As in a tingling, someone was contacting you, what?
CIV_Serok says:
:: walks over to the TO looking at him :: TO;  Are you quite alright Lt?
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: This has never happened before.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Any signal that is out of the ordinary.  Escape pod emergency beacons, and things like that.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: It was like a tickle.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Take a seat on the bed behind you, I'll be right there.
CNS_M`Ton says:
::Takes a seat::
OPS-Watson says:
CTO: Aye sir...   :: Turns back around ::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Curtis: Keep working on his burns and keep an eye on his lung.
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves around to the CNS and begins scanning::
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: We are a team, and that is exactly what is needed on this mission, for us all to work together.  It is of the utmost importance.
CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: I can not sense anyone on this ship.
CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::faces the view screen, and awaits for any word from the crew::
CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Hang on, we'll get this figured out. ::suddenly grows worries about her son::
TO_Sadek says:
CIV: I am uncertain... my mind tells me one thing... my eyes another.
