Episode 5:  One flew over the cuckoo's nest...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
In the heat of combat, decisions are made and consequences result.

Host Gerry says:
On crucial missions at crucial moments, those decisions can cost lives.

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius has destroyed one Gorn vessel, but due to some battle conditions, a second one remains at a condition that isn't fully known.

Host Gerry says:
However, the last known disposition was disabled and badly damaged.

Host Gerry says:
Theory:

Host Gerry says:
The Commander of a force must bear in mind three priorities in descending order...

Host Gerry says:
Mission...Men...Myself.

Host Gerry says:
What will happen as the Scorpius attempts to mend her own damage?  What priority will be set?  

Host Gerry says:
Fact:

Host Gerry says:
Admiral Thomas Taylor and Lt. D'Lareg of the House of D'Rog lay dying in sickbay, the result of battle with the Gorn.

Host Gerry says:
Fact:

Host Gerry says:
There has been a terrible battle.

Host Gerry says:
What will happen next?

Host Gerry says:
Let's find out.

::moves to a new patient::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, we need to get critical systems up first, then propulsion, then weapons ... in that order.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sir, This is T’Lok, I just found my son under a pile of debris, he is critically injured.  I am awaiting transport to sickbay.

FCO_Bodine says:
:: wipes his eyes and gets up off the floor next to the hole in the ship, slowly moves over to the desk and presses a button deactivating his log entry::

CIV_Serok says:

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: I still want to know who did this. ::grumbles::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Sopok is on deck two.  I'll be ready here in sickbay.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
~~~CIV:  Who is Thomas?~~~

SO_Zria says:
::is called over to someone that was just brought in::

TO_Sadek says:
::continues to monitor the reports of damage being repaired::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  Main life support is restored

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* I think you should have someone with you when I arrive.  Just take my word for it.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  T'Lok, this is AQilla.  Hold your position and I'll try to beam you now.  ::moves over to OPS and attempts to log on::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* understood.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: When you get a chance, I need to tell you something.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor:  You are Thomas Taylor...you are my friend and I need you to stay. ~~~

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The CTO is beamed directly to sickbay with his son

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Life support is fully restored.... where do you wish our priorities to be?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::glances up as Houlihan moves into ICU with the critical patients::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::feels himself materialize in sickbay, still holding Pel Tor::

SO_Zria says:
<Crewman) SO: We found him near a heavily damaged cargo area and were told to bring him straight here.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches as the transport is completed:: TO:  Defense and propulsion, Lt.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the beam and turns around:: CTO: Who's the pa......oh, no. ::rushes to her son::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the CMO rushing towards her, but motions her to the closest bio bed instead, where he places his son::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Most of the internal damage can be repaired if and when we can get back to the Starbase.  But we need critical systems up and running as soon as possible.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::releases her patient and helps him off the biobed::

FCO_Bodine says:
::seeing a bloody scrape on his arm he heads to sickbay to have one of the Nurses patch him up so he can get to the bridge::

CO_VanSickle says:
::sighs, waiting to give XO his decision::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, I also recommend sending a general distress signal.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: He was looking for me, he became afraid during the battle.

SO_Zria says:
<Crewman> ::helps get the fellow to the bed:: SO: Will you be needing us anymore?

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Make it so.

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Commander... I do not recommend we do so.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I found him near what was left of the armory.  He must have been on his way to my office.

SO_Zria says:
::shakes her head:: Crewman: Go ahead, I'm sure you've got a lot going on with the clean up and damage assessment.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Our quarters weren't damaged so I assumed he was okay.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the TO:: TO:  And why not, Lt?

TO_Sadek says:
XO: If the Gorn have other vessels in the area we will be... I believe the Earth euphemism to be a sitting fowl.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Another few feet toward the front of the ship, and he would have been...::Cant finish the sentence, becomes visibly shaken, and sits down on the floor::

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Sitting duck, lieutenant.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::runs the scanner over him carefully, trying not to cry::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Noted.  Have Engineering get to the repairs as best they can.

SO_Zria says:
::begins treating the wounded officer trying to keep him stable::

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor:  You are on board the Starship Scorpius.  I will let you rest soon, but not now, I need you to concentrate on healing.  I will help you, but you must try. ~~~

TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: CO: Yes Sir.... My recommendation remains.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  You wanted to speak to me, Sir?

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  Maneuvering thrusters and inertial dampers are restored

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Who was responsible for this?  Other patients said we just sat there...nobody was flying evasives.  What happened?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::resets the biobed and begins recording injuries::

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Engineering are reporting at regular intervals... they request no to be bothered unless we are shot at again.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: After reading the casualty report, and hearing that Pel Tor has been injured, it seems my judgment isn't the best right now.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
~~~CIV:  Am I injured?  Are you God?~~~

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_McKray> *EO_Thumbs*: I should have the deflector functional in 20 minutes if we could then get the warp core imbalance stabilized. Probably a bad injector coil I would imagine. I bet we could get partial warp.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: That can wait, dear.  Right now, concentrate on Pel Tor.  I will find out just what happened, and who is responsible.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain?

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: It seems whatever I do, disaster follows.

SO_Zria says:
::gets the patient stabilized::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Left arm broken, 3 broken ribs, left leg broken.....

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Well, it's not exactly a safe universe ... we knew a confrontation with the Gorn was a possibility.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: So you weren't on the bridge when the decks were exposed?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Makes himself get up off the floor, and decides to go sit in the CMO's office:: CMO: I will get out of your way.  I will be in your office.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor:  Yes, you are injured and No I am not God.  I am your friend.  I want to help you Thomas, listen to me, concentrate.  Concentrate on you body and healing it.  ~~~

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: But I didn’t try to get the ship out of the way.  I tried to get between the Gorn and Adm. Taylor's fighter.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::doesn’t want to answer the CMO's question about where he was when the damage occurred, not just yet::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  Flight Control and Engineering are able to launch work bees and hull knitters to repair the skin of the Scorpius temporarily

SO_Zria says:
::now that the patient is stabilized, takes time to fully analyze and treat the patient's injuries::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, what are you thinking of doing?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: T'Lok!  Answer my question!  What are you hiding?

FCO_Bodine says:
::enters sickbay:: Helene: Where is the CMO? Will we be collecting our lost from space before we go? ::pauses and holds out his arm:: I scraped it can you stop the flooding and clean it up quick I need to get out of here ..

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* I will be down here in sickbay for a while, Ma'am.  If you need me, please contact me here.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Understood.  How is Pel Tor?

SO_Zria says:
::sees Sopok working in the distance as she finishes up and moves on to another patient::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
~~~CIV:  I see a great void...I will try.  I do not want to go to the void.~~~

TO_Sadek says:
<EO_Thumbs> *McKray*: I am shoveling as fast as I can.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni, please, don’t become distracted about this.  There will be time for explanations later.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* Not good, Ma'am.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Cmdr. AQilla Horn, as of this moment, you are in command of the Scorpius.  I am relieving myself of duty until I get myself a full psychological examination from CNS. M'Ton.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  What?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Lung, punctured...kidney's damaged...::takes a step back::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Pierce* Report to sickbay, stat!

FCO_Bodine says:
<FCO_FlyBoy> Bridge: Work Bee's are reporting in their temporary hull fasteners in key areas are nearly in place, but they can't sustain high warp. Not that our warp core can either. Just reporting.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: You're taking over.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::fights his instincts to go rip someone’s head off::

SO_Zria says:
::begins feeling overwhelmed by all the pain and agony around her and has to find a quiet place again::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  As you wish.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor:  I will support you until you can make it on your own.  Concentrate. ~~~

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Feels all the pain and grief from the crew::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I officially relieve you of command, as per your request.  ::makes a note in the log::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Take a seat Mr. Bodine.  Everyone we lost are being transported aboard.  We won't leave anybody behind.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CNS*: VanSickle to M'Ton.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
~~~CIV: I will concentrate.  Why am I so tired?~~~

CNS_M`Ton says:
*CO*: M'Ton here.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CNS*: Counselor, I must meet with you.  When is your first opening?

FCO_Bodine says:
CMO: Doc, there you are, can you patch up my arm I need to get to the Bridge. ::hides what he fears about his family being in space from the doctor::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CNS* Jeahnie to M'Ton, I know you are busy Counselor but I've just identified two of our lost crew.  FCO Bodine's wife and daughter were killed.  You may want to speak to him.

CNS_M`Ton says:
*CO*: I am available now if you like.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: You know your way around a regenerator John, grab one.  I'll be there when I can. ::looks back down at the form of her son::

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor: Your body has been injured as well as your mind, you are tired because you are working to heal.  Follow me...stay with me Thomas.  ~~~

CO_VanSickle says:
*CNS*: I'll be in your office in five minutes.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::opens a ship-wide intercom:: *ALL*:  Attention all personnel.  Effective immediately, at the Captain's request, I will be assuming command of the Scorpius.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* T’Lok To M`Ton. I have a very big problem, and I need your assistance.

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

CNS_M`Ton says:
*Jeahnie*: Understood

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pierce: Brandon, it's Pel Tor. ::watches at Pel Tor's vitals begin to flat line:: NO!!!

CNS_M`Ton says:
*CTO*: I will be with you as soon as I possibly can.

FCO_Bodine says:
CMO: Fine. ::fines the right medical dermal regenerator and applies it to his skin::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
~~~CIV:  I will follow.  I...see lights.~~~

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to sag at the biobed, but will not release her hold on Taylor ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grabs a Cortical stimulator::

CO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Counselor's office.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*ALL*:  I know you all have your hands full and I know you all know your jobs.  Let's get this ship back up and running as quickly as we can.  That is all.  ::closes the channel::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the XO's announcement, and accidentally allows something to escape from his thoughts:: Self: Coward, you did this to all of us, and now you remove yourself from command.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Pierce> ::moves up and grabs Jenise by the shoulder:: CMO: Jenise!  Move away!  I'll take care of him.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pierce: But that's my son! ::struggles against Pierce's grip::

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ Taylor:  That is it Thomas.....come with me to the light.  You can rest when we get to the light ~~~

SO_Zria says:
::uses a meditation technique to push all the feelings from her mind so that she can return to helping people::

CO_VanSickle says:
::rides the TL to the deck of the CNS office::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Hears the CMO arguing with Pierce, and goes to see whets happening::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Pierce> ::sees the Klingon CTO at the edge of the office:: CTO: T'Lok!  Get in here and get your wife!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni!  Come with me.  Let Pierce do his job.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
CIV:  ::hoarsely::  Suvok...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Pierce> CMO: I'll take care of him I promise.

FCO_Bodine says:
Anyone in Sickbay: Anyone even know what happen? ::finishes his sucher::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
::tries to sit up::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Do we have sensors?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Pierce> ::picks Pel Tor up and rushes him to surgery::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: That's my baby!  My boy!

CIV_Serok says:
:: opens her eyes :: Taylor:  Thomas.  :: smiles at him and quickly regains her composure ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sits in the CO's chair::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I know, he is mine as well.  But remember the first rule of being a doctor.  Never work on family.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> FCO: We've all been in here.  We don't know what happened.

CIV_Serok says:
Taylor:  Admiral, it is agreeable to see you Sir.

SO_Zria says:
::returns to treating those around her, trying to select the worst injuries to treat first::

CO_VanSickle says:
::exits the TL and walks into the CNS office::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
CIV:  ::tries to sit up and coughs::  D'Lareg...where is D'Lareg?

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Affirmative Commander... and the status of the Gorn vessel is similar to ours. Their repairs are proceeding at the same speed as ours.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  No sign of any other ships in the area?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: We had a battle with the Gorn, and took quite a beating.

CIV_Serok says:
:: drops to her knees beside the bed ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::guides the CMO to her office, and sits her down::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Beating....I'll give a beating to whomever is responsible.....beating.....

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits down in her office:: CTO: No more games.  What happened?

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_McKray> ::completes 20 minutes of work on the deflector and it is auto-realigned when the Engineer brings it online::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Not if I get to hi...that person first.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The deflector comes online

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets up and closes the door to the office before he continues talking::

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Stands:: CO: Please have a seat.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the officer sitting at flight:: FCO:  As soon as you can get us out of here.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I don't want the rest of the crew to hear what I have to say.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
::sits up and places a hand on CIV's shoulder::  CIV:  ::hoarsely::  Get me to the bridge.  Now.  Imperative.

FCO_Bodine says:
CTO: Oh .. ::leaves sickbay for the bridge without saying another word::

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Counselor, I had to remove myself from duty because my actions have been detrimental to this ship.  I think I might need a little counseling.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Did you do this?  Were you flying the ship?  Watson was already hurt before the decks were exposed.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: A little?

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Not at the present time... I am continuing to monitor the situation.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: If you are in such distress I believe you might need quite a bit.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: OK, I need a full examination.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: No, NO!  I can't fly this contraption anyway.  But, what I did see happening was mind-boggling.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Good.  I'd hate for the Gorn to come knocking knowing we can't answer ...

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
::tries to stand on his own and can't because of his broken leg and shattered knee::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods :: Taylor:  Yes Admiral.  :: gets to her feet and helps him to his, putting her arm under his shoulder ::

SO_Zria says:
::stretches and moves around a bit to relieve the fatigue, as she heals another broken bone::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: T'Lok, you're scaring me, what happened?

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: What brought you to this decision.

FCO_Bodine says:
<FCO_FlyBoy> XO: The deflector just came online, it will take a couple of minutes to flood the warp coils with power then we can do. ::as Lt. Bodine steps off the turbo lift the crewman gets up from flight control and moves out of the way::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::moves over to the ADM and CIV:: FltAdm: Let me treat your injuries Sir.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Look at this... ::hands CNS the casualty report:: It seems whatever I do, disaster follows.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Understood.

SO_Zria says:
::wonders how many more crew there are that need help::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Jeni, the CO took control of flight.  He basically rammed us down the throat of the Gorn.  It was like throwing us into a munitions dump while we were on fire.

FCO_Bodine says:
::steps onto the bridge and takes a seat at Flight::

TO_Sadek says:
XO: I was not aware that the Gorn knocked before attacking.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: This is quite a list, however we were in a combat situation.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
::stands with the help of the CIV::  CIV:  What the hell happened?  ::looks around::  Curtis:  It is imperative I reach the bridge, Doctor.  Come along if you have to, but get me there.  

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: TO:  That's not exactly what I meant, Lt ....

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Eric? ::stands up:: ERIC did this???

SO_Zria says:
Sopok:  How is our progress? ::uses a dermal regenerator to heal a crewman's facial and scalp wounds::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> FltAdm: You will allow me time to take care of that leg Sir, or at least get you an anti-grav chair.  If I let you walk like that, the CMO will have my hide.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: You don't understand the whole story, counselor.  Because I didn't want to wait for someone else to take flight, I took it over from the command chair.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands up and grabs his wife's shoulders:: CMO: Jeni, sit down.  Blowing a gasket wont help Pel Tor right now.  And besides, Eric took himself out of command.  

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins walking towards the doors with the Admiral, hoping she can make it.  ::

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_McKray> *EO_Thumbs*: Deflector is operational now. Try and flood the injectors she if she will fire up would you please.

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Indeed Commander

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Bridge to Serok.  How is the Admiral?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: He's going to take a lot more than that. ::pushes past her husband and leaves sickbay::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: As captain you have to be able to stand behind your decisions no matter the consequence.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Any indications on how long it will be before weapons and shields are restored?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Computer: Location of Eric VanSickle.

TO_Sadek says:
<EO_Thumbs> *McKray*: Acknowledged.... firing it up

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I don't know.  I think it's starting to get personal.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
Curtis:  I'll have it if you try to hold me.  This is a matter of Federation security.  CIV:  Let's go.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves after the CMO, and quickly overtakes her:: CMO: no you don’t!  Back in this office.  ::Picks her up and carries her back to the office::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: How so?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Houlihan: I need an anti-grav chair Now!

SO_Zria says:
*CMO* Zria to sickbay.  It's beginning to slow down up here, do you need help in sickbay or should I return to the bridge?

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: One of the injuries is Pel Tor, Jenise and T'Lok's son.  Two of the dead are Bodine's wife and daughter.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Put me down Lieutenant Commander!  You may be bigger but I outrank you!

TO_Sadek says:
XO: The last report from Engineering was "When we are done." Commander

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  40% impulse is restored and the Scorpius is moving under power.

CIV_Serok says:
*XO*: I am on my way to the bridge in the company of the Admiral now Sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sighs::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Not in this instance you don’t. ::carries his wife into her office, and sits her down on a chair::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> ::pushes an anti-grav chair into the room near the Admiral::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: So the result of your decision is more than you can bear?

TO_Sadek says:
::looks down at console:: XO: We now have impulse power at 40% efficiency Commander

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* I don't have a clue.  I'm being held prisoner in my office.  Call security!

FCO_Bodine says:
::has not said a word sense he got to his post:: XO: I have helm response, awaiting warp power, should be moments.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: T'Lok, let me go!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Computer> CMO: Captain Eric VanSickle is in the Counselor's office.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Take us out of here, best possible impulse speed.

SO_Zria says:
::continues to treat the minor injuries with the dermal generator and feels some relief that the steady flow of incoming has nearly stopped.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> FltAdm: Here.  Now you can go wherever and not hurt that leg.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Absolutely not!  

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: That's why I'm here.  I need help separating my personal feelings for my friends on this crew and from my command duties.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Houlihan* Nurse, bring me a hypo with a sedative to the CMO's office, stat!

SO_Zria says:
*CMO* Understood, I'm on my way.  ::is confused about the CMO being held in her office::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: T'Lok, put me down. ::takes a deep breath:: Put me down.  I'm fine.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: I believe this is about more than separating feelings.

SO_Zria says:
*CTO* Zria to Commander Garta-Nmbarri, there appears to be a situation in sickbay that could use your attention.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> ::watches Taylor and doesn't hear the CTO::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* It's under control, Zria.  

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I thought it could be.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* He is the situation in sickbay.

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Aye ::slowly attempts to maneuver the Scorpius out of the Debris at impulse power::

SO_Zria says:
*CTO* Is there anything that I can help with, Commander?

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
Curtis:  Very well.  You can find out about my shipmate Lt. D'Lareg for me and report later.  ::sits with help::  CIV:  Suvok...take me to the bridge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: T'Lok, let me go.  I have wounded to deal with.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: No, you are not ok.  You want to go rip Eric's head off.  I know, I want to do the same thing, but we must concentrate on our son right now.

TO_Sadek says:
XO: I recommend we attempt to hide.... we cannot escape the vessel at impulse I recommend we use the planets to hide behind and then enter the magnetic fields of one of the planets to be hidden from the Gorn vessel.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: One thing we need to get straight right now if I am to help you, in this office there is no rank.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Agreed.  FCO:  Hide us, Lt.

SO_Zria says:
Sopok:  I'm going to sickbay to assist there

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: I am your counselor and you are my patient.

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods :: Taylor:  Aye Admiral.  :: begins to move him to the bridge ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* Pel Tor was seriously injured.  Jenise is going ballistic on me here.  I need a sedative for her.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: If I didn't need help, I wouldn't be here and would still be commanding this vessel.

SO_Zria says:
::walks down the corridor to the nearest turbo lift:: Computer: Sickbay, Stat

FCO_Bodine says:
::looks around and realizes the Lt. Watson and the Captain are not on the bridge:: XO: Commander, where is Watson, and the Captain, are they alright?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Your staff will handle the injured.  You are in no condition to help.

SO_Zria says:
*CTO* Understood, Commander.

TO_Sadek says:
FCO: Cestus VIII is a similar gas giant.... we can attempt the same maneuver the fighter did.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: This will be a hard process and you might hear things you don’t want to hear, however this is how we will get to the bottom of your problem.

SO_Zria says:
::exits the lift and runs the last few yards and into sickbay::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I am the Chief Medical Officer.  I have handled wounded after seeing other injuries before.  I can do my job.  Now, let me do it.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Counselor, after what I've done, you can take the kid gloves off.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: So now that we have that straight.......

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Understood.

FCO_Bodine says:
TO: Okay ::sets the helm to the TO's suggested coordinates::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Tell me why did you take the helm?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Yes, but none of those other injuries was your son.  You are in no condition to be out of this office.  Just be thankful I don’t have you confined to our quarters.

SO_Zria says:
::grabs a fresh med kit and walks to the CMO's office, knocks on the door to let the CTO know of her arrival::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Lt Watson is in sickbay.  She was knocked unconscious.  As for the Captain, he is fine.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Fine...moves to her desk and sits down.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: Enter.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: It was a snap decision.  Before coming here to the Scorpius, I was the FCO of the Elara.

SO_Zria says:
::enters the office:: CTO: I thought I should check to see what help I could offer.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: You took it for a reason though, what was it?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: Right now, we are two very distraught parents.  But, I have been able to control my feelings....so far.  Jenise, being a mother, hasn't been so lucky.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Lt. Bodine was off duty, Lt. Watson was knocked unconscious, and I didn't want to wait for relief.

SO_Zria says:
::walks over to the CMO:: CMO: What is really going on, Commander?  ::sits on the corner of the CMO's desk::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::begins typing into her console:: CTO: You have no idea how many I could be helping right now.

SO_Zria says:
CTO: Understandable, Commander.  Would you give us a few moments?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::backs off to allow the two women some private conversation together::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
::controls his mind and tells himself "there is no pain"::

CIV_Serok says:
Taylor:  You will not be permitted to stay on the bridge for long.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: The Lieutenant Commander believes I can't do my job because my son is among the injured.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: And the result of that decision was this casualty list?

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The CTO is transported to the bridge without warning.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: But I am taking care of that.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Eventually it did.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: See ya later honey! ::waves to his disappearing form::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I will go check in on how Pierce is doing with Pel Tor.  You stay here....::suddenly feels himself transported out of  sickbay, and when he appears, he is on the bridge::

SO_Zria says:
CMO: I don't think that is what he is feeling right now.  He is as troubled about your son as you are.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: So tell me what happened after you took control of the helm?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: What in the he......

CIV_Serok says:
:: arrives on the bridge and pushes Taylor out onto the bridge ::

TO_Sadek says:
::looks to the turbo lift:: All: Admiral on the bridge. ::attempts not to smile at the Admiral::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the CTO materialize:: CTO:  T'Lok?  I thought you were in sickbay ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: If you are willing, I believe Curtis could use help in ICU.  I understand that but I do have a job to do and keeping me here won't help the wounded.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I was, but then I was suddenly transported here.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
:hears the TO and turns:: Taylor:  Admiral.

SO_Zria says:
CMO: You have been working non stop as have the rest of your staff

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Jenise!  Did you do this?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands up:: SO: If the bridge needs you, I understand that as well.  You have work to do.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  ::hoarsely::  Commander.  Where is your Captain?  ALL:  As you were!  

FCO_Bodine says:
::turns as Serok and Taylor arrive on deck, and he stands for a moment::

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I put the ship on a course that would put us between the Gorn and Adm. Taylor's fighter in orbit of Cestus VIII.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* I have patients to attend to Commander and you were preventing that.  The CMO does have the right to clear out sickbay from non-medical personnel when she sees fit.

SO_Zria says:
CMO: You have to trust us to help the wounded.  Right now, you need to stay here and take care of yourself.  You have another child don't you?  You should spend time with her, she'll be upset with her brother hurt.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  The Captain relieved himself of command, Sir.  I have command of the Scorpius for now.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The ship reaches Cestus VIII

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: Then I will go to my quarters.  But I will not sit in my office.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves sickbay::

FCO_Bodine says:
::takes his seat again and checks the ships path making sure he is still using debris to mask their trail::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Go on.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Very well.  Go attend to the sick and injured.  But, I am posting guards at the entrance to sickbay.  Should you decide to leave, they will follow you.

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: We have reached our orbit Ma'am

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: The Gorn attacked, and we lost front shields.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Forgive me for asking this, Admiral, but what are you doing here?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Keep the planet between us and the Gorn, Lt.

SO_Zria says:
CMO: That's fine, but you need away from this.  I'll help out in ICU and anywhere else I'm needed.  But for now, you need to take care of your family.  As important as the crew is, you need to take a little time for your family now.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  Very well, commander.  You will have to explain that at a later time.  Right now, I need you to set course for Avalon station or the nearest Federation post maximum warp and engage immediately.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::waves to the SO and exits sickbay::

CO_VanSickle says:
CO: I asked for the shields to be reinforced, but I failed to turn our backs to the Gorn.  They fired, and you see the result.

TO_Sadek says:
XO: Commander... warp engines remain offline at the moment.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Admiral, we don't have warp or much else at the moment.  We only have 40% impulse power.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ TO: He was almost gone when I got to him.  I am slightly fatigued. ~~~

SO_Zria says:
::hopes that the Doctor takes care of her other child as she walks quickly to ICU::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Ok, what I want to do is go back.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sec. team alpha* I want two guards posted at the entrance to sickbay.  If the CMO leaves, I want her followed.  Do NOT allow her to go anywhere near the Captain.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> *CMO* Doctor, I am starting to identify those exposed to space.  Mr. Bodine's wife and daughter were among them as is the Mitchell family.  Including the baby you delivered 2 weeks ago.

SO_Zria says:
::enters the ICU unit:: Curtis: Doctor Garta-Nmbarri said that you may need help?

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Understood ::keeps with the one word primary replies and sets a geo-synchronous orbit around maintaining the Scorpius on the far side::

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: OK...

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Tell me about you first post out of the academy?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> SO: Yes, I'm trying to get updated vitals.  Will you start on that end please?

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I never went to the Academy until I graduated SROTC from Iowa.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  We took severe damage and casualties.  At the moment we are lucky if we can hold this ship together.

TO_Sadek says:
~~~ CIV: Understood my wife ~~~

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks down and sees the tricorder still in her hand::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  No...warp.  Fascinating.  What the hell happened here, Mister Horn?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the CNS office::

SO_Zria says:
::nods and moves to the other side of ICU and begins updating vitals::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Lt. Gunner> *CTO* Sir, I just passed the CMO in the corridor a few minutes ago.  Should I attempt to find her?

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
TO:  Silek, what have we got?

CO_VanSickle says:
::hears the door and turns around:: CMO: Doctor?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<In Romulan> Taylor:  We were attempting to save your hide, Admiral.

TO_Sadek says:
::blinks and looks at the Admiral::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Gunner* yes, post haste!  I am in route to the CNS's office.  I suggest you go there first.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow :: Taylor:  Admiral, this is Lt Sadek.....my husband is not here.

SO_Zria says:
*CTO* Zria to Commander Nmbarri

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
<in Romulan> XO: It is well you did...but tell me what happened.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: If you will forgive me, I must go to the CNS's office.  I believe there is about to be trouble there.

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Stands:: CMO: Doctor can I help you?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* Yes?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Excuse me for interrupting Counselor.  I have a list of necessary patients for you and I wanted to make certain the Captain was uninjured.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Orders a site to site transport of himself to the CNS's office::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
CIV/TO:  ::pauses::  Of course.  My apologies.  Mister Sadek, what does the ship have?

CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: Could this not have waited?

SO_Zria says:
::updates the PADD with the patient's information and moves to the next patient:: *CTO* Commander, your wife has agreed to take some time with your other child.  She has left sickbay to attend to that.

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Jenise, I'm OK.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::scans Eric:: CNS: No Sir.  I am about to remove myself from duty considering my son is dying in sickbay.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* Trust me, Zria, she has no intentions of going straight to our quarters.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Well, while trying to extract your fighter we were engaged by the Gorn.  In an effort to protect your ship, the Captain put us between your fighter and the Gorn.  As you can see, Admiral, we lost.  But we did manage to destroy one Gorn vessel and severely damage the other.

TO_Sadek says:
CIV: Nevertheless the Admiral requested a status report  ::Admiral: Impulse, Shields and Inertial Dampeners are functioning. We require another 4 hours minimum of new skin on the hull beaches to seal the decompressed decks.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::glares at Eric as she mentions Pel Tor:: CO: Pierce is working on him now.  He hopes he can save him.  But, I want you healthy because I will be filing a complaint and request for court martial in regards to your actions causing the deaths of so many of our crew.

SO_Zria says:
::makes notations and moves on:: *CTO* Sir?

CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: Doctor, please I am in the middle of a session and your interruption in improper.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* I know my wife.  I am certain she has gone after the Captain.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  Then I would say you won, not lost.  However, we need to get out of here and fast.  I have intelligence that will be crucial to the Federation about a new Gorn weapon.

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: ::stands:: Jenise!  I'm sorry that Pel Tor is injured.  I also know that Lt. Bodine's wife and daughter are dead.  I caused them.  That's why I relieved MYSELF of duty!  That's why I'm here!  I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'M SORRY!!!! ::breaks down::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
TO:  Understood.

FCO_Bodine says:
::was looking at his console and concentrating on final orbit burns and does not catch everything the XO says so he does not make the connection to negligence yet::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I believe my family and Mr. Bodine should be next on your list to Counsel.  His wife and daughter were killed as well.  No sir, the Captain's actions were improper.  My actions are that of someone that actually cares for this crew. ::looks at Eric in disgust:: He can't even be a man.  Good bye. ::exits the CNS' office::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: Taylor:  As soon as we have warp power we will engage ... but until then all we can do is stay put and repair what we can.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Transporter chief* Emergency site to site transport to CNS office, Now!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads to the turbo lift to go to her quarters::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: Please leave this office at once, I will deal with you later.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Jenise!  Where are you?

SO_Zria says:
*CTO* Understood.  I shouldn't have suggested she leave sickbay.

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  Commander, the ship is yours.  But hide or get us out of here.  You say you got me out of a fighter?  The last thing I recall was the explosion that destroyed the bridge.  I thought we all bought it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* I'm heading to our quarters to be with our daughter.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Cant wait for the transport, runs to the Turbo lift, and orders it to the deck where his quarters are::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: If you would like to continue later.........

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* I am on my way there.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbo lift:: Computer: Deck 2.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<in Romulan> Taylor:  Maybe we can send a coded message to the Starbase ...

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: It might be a good idea.

SO_Zria says:
::finishes with another patient and takes the PADD's to Curtis::  Curtis: Will this bring you up to date?

CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to dry his tears::

Host FltAdm_Taylor says:
XO:  Do it.  Use a message torpedo with a broadcast delay.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SO* Its ok, Zria.  You don’t know her as well as I do.  I just heard from her.  She claims to be on her way to our quarters, but by now, she should have been there a while.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Go get some sleep, I will see you first thing tomorrow.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: Taylor:  Consider it done.  Anything you want to put in the message, Admiral?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Curtis> ::takes the PADD:: SO: That's great.  Thank you so much.  When you head back upstairs, let them know that I've gotten Watson stabilized?  She's going to be here a little while though.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on Deck 2, bolts out of the turbo lift, and runs to his quarters::

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Should I just maintain this orbit or use science station to find a more suitable hiding place?

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Of course. ::picks himself up, then walks slowly out into the corridor, on his way to his quarters::

SO_Zria says:
Curtis: I'll inform Commander Horn.  If I'm needed again, please contact me.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::runs into his quarters:: CMO: Jeni?  are you here?

CIV_Serok says:
:: continues to try and stand ::
