USS Scorpius - NCC 50666 – 10510.15

"Take the Long Way Home"

Episode 6: "Abducted."

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

The USS Scorpius finds itself in a galaxy about 108 million light years from home...the result of some unknown process of a test engine.

The research goes on about how to get themselves home...if possible...and the ship has begun to monitor its surroundings.

As they were "playing" with a new "friend," the new friend ran away at high warp and a ship roughly 5 times the size of the Scorpius arrived, and tractored Scorpius inside...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Serok says:
:: sitting at a console, monitoring the ship that currently has the Scorpius ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sitting in the big chair on the bridge::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::in the Medical Lab going over more test results on the alien::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Can you tell me anything about this thing that has us?

CTO_Horn says:
::Thinking he would love to tell T'Lok "I told you so::

CNS_Rand says:
::returns to the bridge, then makes her way to the center and sits in a vacant seat near the Exec:: XO: Reporting as requested, Commander.

Inok says:
*CMO* Doctor Garta-Nmbarri?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Good.  Can you read anything about this thing that has us?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Inok*: This is Doctor Garta-Nmbarri, go ahead.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  One moment please Commander.  :: continues to look at the console in front of her ::

Inok says:
*CMO* The children seem to be exhibiting an unusual amount of anxiety about what is going on, especially Pel Tor.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Commander, I ran the scan twice to be certain it was not a mechanical malfunction........

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  The power signature is immeasurable by our standards.....

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I'll try Commander ::studies the object that is on the view screen, trying to get an impression as to what is going on::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I would have expected as much from something this large. 

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  There are well over 100,000 life form readings.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, tactical readings?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Inok*: Bring Pel Tor to me.  I'm in the lab adjacent to Sickbay.

ACTION:  The Scorpius comes to a stop as the bay doors beneath it start to close...

Inok says:
::Leaves the other children in the care of Nulahr, and takes Pel Tor to his mother::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Commander, the aperture is closing.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Well, it appears we are here to stay for a while. 

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Apparently so Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: Keep on your toes.  This thing has us right where it wants us.  We are at its mercy.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Are our shields working in here?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Scans show that their weapons can vaporize us in one shot.  Also, there are several shuttle sized ships approaching.

Inok says:
CMO: Here is your son, Madam.  He seems to be having a very hard time with the situation at hand.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Tactical readings of those shuttles?

CNS_Rand says:
::shakes her head to clear hear thoughts and focus on the larger ship around them::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Scanning the ships now.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Open a channel, let's see if they are willing to talk.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Aye Commander.  :: presses a few buttons ::  Channel open.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
COM: Alien: This is commander Garta-Nmbarri of the United Federation of Planets ship Scorpius.  Can anyone hear me?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::furiously working on her engineering boards::

CNS_Rand says:
::takes a deep breath and lets it out slow:: XO:  Commander, I'm getting something, the feelings are intense, hard to interpret...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Anything you can get could be of great importance.  

CIV_Serok says:
:: opens a communications channel and puts an earpiece in her ear to see if the aliens are speaking amongst themselves and if so, in what language. ::

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I don't think they are malicious, but these beings...they aren't the welcome wagon

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
COM: Alien: We mean you no harm.  We are here by mistake, and only wish to return to our home.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: What is wrong, sweetheart?

CNS_Rand says:
::tilts her head slightly as if listening:: XO: I'm sensing amusement now.

Pel Tor says:
I can sense a lot of things out here.  I don't understand them.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The shuttles are carrying about a dozen life forms each.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Amusement?  They think we are nothing more than an amusement to them?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: Can you help explain what he's sensing?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Scans show that they are arming some sort of weapons.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  They appear to be coordinated in their efforts Commander, but I can pick up no communications.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We should prepare to be boarded!!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Send guards to all entry points on the Scorpius.  Make sure the shields are up at 100%.  

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I don't know, but they are amused at something, whether at us or at something we've done I don't know

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Keep listening in.  Perhaps they will let something slip.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: No shuttle is the same as the other. They all seem to be made of different materials.

Inok says:
CMO: Doctor, there are thousands of beings in the ship we are in.  Pel Tor seems to be reading their minds, or at least picking up some signals from them.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: As if they are all parts of different ships?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Self:  Damn it blasted warp intermix won't stay at 1 to 1 ratio.

CTO_Horn says:
::Calls all security teams to duty and relays assignments::

ACTION:  The shuttles each emit a low-intensity beam that begins to drain the shields slowly.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: No sir, it’s as if they are made from different metals all together.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: They are emitting low intensity beams that are draining our shields.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Random modulation of shield frequencies.  Let's see if we can slow them down.

CTO_Horn says:
::Modulates the shield frequencies::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Captain, can you get a reading of what this mother ship is made out of?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We have to knock out that tractor beam.

ACTION:  The modulation of the shield frequencies slows but not stops the drain...

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: What is going on down there.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: they seem to be a little curious now.  Perhaps it is our trying to resist them

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I agree, but if we break free, where will we go?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: See if you can help him focus on fewer minds or perhaps just one.  I don't want my son in sickbay with a migraine from sensory overload.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The drain has slowed but it has not stopped.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Working on it Commander.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hands fly again as the shields are beginning to be drained::

Inok says:
CMO: It’s his mind that concerns me.  He can't seem to block these beings out.  Perhaps you can give him something to help?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I don’t know about you but I would at least make an attempt to get out of here.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Keep rotating the frequency, Russ.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir my shields are being drained slowly by the shuttles.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Lock onto the tractor emitters.  Maybe with pinpoint accuracy, we can break free from them.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Chances are we are gonna die here. Let’s at least die in combat.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Do what you need to keep power to those shields.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Understood sir.

CTO_Horn says:
::Locks weapons onto the tractor emitters holding them in place::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  The ship is made of many different alloys Commander.  Some are unidentifiable.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: I am not getting the impression of hostility, Commander.  

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Any chance we can blast through them?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Smurf, go into the main bay for a few minutes.  I bet Hannah would love to see you.

Pel Tor says:
CMO: Ok mom.  ::Goes to see Hannah::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  I would not attempt it Commander.  I do not believe that their intent is hostile.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: Their intent became hostile when they took our ship captive!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: What if you used a feedback pulse along the  power drains from the shuttles. That might work.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: If we can get out of here, can we use the side warp drive to jump?  Right now, I don’t care where to, just jump?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands up and looks at the tutor:: Inok: You want me to medicate him to protect him from the number of minds or because you are inadequate to the task of teaching him to build mental walls?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Yes it is fully functional and ready to go online when asked.  I have it shielded behind a dense particle shield.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  We are the invaders here Mister Horn.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: They are ignoring communications, and they are draining our shields and preparing to send armed boarding teams onto this ship. No, that’s not a hostile act is it?

Inok says:
CMO: I beg your pardon?

ACTION:  The Shields continue to drain.  Shuttles approach that look like over-sized cigar tubes with portable airlocks on one end start to push on the shields to drain them faster...

CNS_Rand says:
CTO: No, I don't think it's that simple.  It's not black and white to them...to coin a Terran phrase.  They're curious, amused.  I think they are collecting us for knowledge or something of the like.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::sees the drain increase:: Self: Augusfratt!!!!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: We need to do something before the shields are gone.  Suggestions?

CTO_Horn says:
CNS: With all due respect I am not a baseball card, and do not plan on going on a shelf for someone's amusement.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: You suggested that I medicate my son because he can't block out the number of minds surrounding this ship.  Why?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Bring online the aux fusion reactors and lace them with fistrium and blitrium to see if we can stop or slow down the power drain.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I suggest making one more attempt to communicate. If that fails then we need to defend ourselves.

ACTION:  The Bay doors open below the Scorpius and another, much smaller vessel is brought in...

Inok says:
CMO: His mind is under developed.  To simply tell him to block them out at this point will do no good.  All the minds are too powerful for him.

CNS_Rand says:
CTO: I do not wish to remain here either, however we should continue to try to make contact.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: I have just told engineering to lace the shields with heavy particles of fistrium and blitrium.  May be that will either slow it down or disrupt it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: So you want the medication to protect him?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The bay doors are open!

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Now is our best chance.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: They are bringing in another vessel.

Inok says:
CMO: Yes.  I don't want him to be sedated forever.  But, until he learns to properly block out the other thoughts, then this might be the best course of action.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: What other vessel?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Is it the small alien from before?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: It’s much smaller that the Scorp. But it is our chance to blow this party.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: And go where?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Anywhere but here.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We could buy some time to recharge our shields and maybe find the exit.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: This thing is much faster and much more powerful than we are.  To run at this point will get us nowhere.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  How would we leave Mister Horn?  We are still in their tractor beams and at present we do not have enough information to extract ourselves from this ship.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Perhaps we could attempt to contact the shuttles  that are trying to break through our shields.  Perhaps they are as trapped as we are.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: If we get out of here we can initiate the experiment and get home.

ACTION:  The smaller vessel is cut apart with something that looks like super-powerful industrial lasers, and shuttles tow the pieces in different directions...

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
CTO: Good thinking but unless I can keep the shields we won't win over this.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Although we have to do it very fast we could pull it off.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Gasps when he sees the other vessel being cut apart::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::scans the shields to see if the particle density is working to slow down the shield drain::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: I don't plan on sedating him at all.  There is another course of action; however, it still deals with chemicals that I'd rather not put into him.  I'll give him enough to block most of what he's feeling.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: What About the side warp drive?  Any chance we can engage it fast enough to jump from this area?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I believe that says everything of their intent sir!!!!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Do you still have that lock on the emitters?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: However, you are his tutor, so I expect you to be working with him today, not waiting until we get home.  Nulahr can take care of the other children.  They should relax once Pel Tor isn't sending any signals to them.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Never took it off.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Inside this ship???? I don't think so, at least not yet.  I would have to find a way to literally make the wall of the sphere very weak for us to use side warp here.

Inok says:
CMO: I have full intentions of working with him, today, tomorrow and until he is ready.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Not inside this ship.  If we can break free and get out of here, can the side warp be engaged fast enough?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sure all you got to do is give me a two minute warning and we are gone.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: That won’t be fast enough.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: But sir I don't think you will get the chance.  Look at the doors, they shut again right after the small vessel was taken in.

ACTION:  the shields reach 50%

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Sir, I believe that we can buy about a minute after we get out of here.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Inok: Good, it's nice to hear you intend to do your job. ::pushes past him and heads into sickbay::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: I need to get the doors open..........::sees the shields are now down to 50%::...but right now sir our shields are now down to 50%.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Shields down to 50%.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Smurf, hop up on a bed.  I'm going to help with everything you are sensing.

Pel Tor says:
::Backs away from the CMO::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Channel the power of the warp engines into the shields.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Scanning the bay doors.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, take out one of their emitters, but only one.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Understood sir but I will now add kelbornite to the mixture.  Maybe that will add a little more time.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Use your Discretion.

CNS_Rand says:
::returns to studying the view screen:: XO: It seems like some of these beings are impressed with us, at least with how long it is taking for them to get through our defenses.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves to a small cabinet and pulls out an inhibitor then turns around:: Pel Tor: Come on, Sweetie, up here.  This will help you focus so you can understand them a little better.

CTO_Horn says:
::Fires on one of the emitters::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Feed warp plasma directly into shields and add Kelbornite to the mix to make it denser.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: Let's see if we can strengthen ourselves a bit.  I want to impress them more, but not tick them off to the point where they simply vaporize us.

ACTION:  The emitter ceases to function

Pel Tor says:
CMO: NO!

EO Red Shirt says:
*CEO*: Understood sir adding Kelbornite to the mix.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I don’t believe we can blast through those doors, the surface seems to be reflective and the metal seems to be harder than duranium.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: What sort of feelings can you sense now?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sets down the emitter and crosses to her son:: Pel Tor: What's wrong?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Scanning the rest of the area they are in::

Pel Tor says:
::Backs farther away from the CMO::

CIV_Serok says:
:: can not believe that the CTO just fired inside a ship that could vaporize them with one shot ::  
XO:  Commander, I suggest that firing inside a ship this large with power readings immeasurable by our standards was not the logical thing to do.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Slight surprise, that's all.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Logic has nothing to do with this, Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: They seem to be testing us, so, why not show them what we are capable of doing?

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Apparently not Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Pel Tor Garta-Nmbarri, stop right now!  ::lowers her voice:: You look scared.  Why?

Pel Tor says:
CMO:  I AM NOT SCARED!

Pel Tor says:
::Glares at his mother::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: You tell me what is going on in that little blue head of yours right now!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Self: Hold up lady what would happen if I added diburinium??

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Take out the rest of the emitters.  FCO: Mr. Leadfoot, once we are free from the tractor beam, turn the ship to face the bay doors.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I have scanned the entire bay area.

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow, stands ::  XO:  If you'll excuse me Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: As I have stated earlier, Captain, your input is always appreciated.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I have found several sources of high energy output!!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir there is a mineral that is of a very high density that is used by the race known as the Kelvin.  We have some of that mineral onboard if memory serves.  I might be able to crush it enough to add to the mix already for our shields.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Right now, I would be willing to try almost anything.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: If we target a few of them we could cause a whole lot of damage and maybe cripple them and get ourselves out of here.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: It is called Diburinium.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Or destroy ourselves in the process.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Or we could get ourselves blown up in the process.  I want to get out of here, Russ, but not that way.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: I will give it a shot.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: They are gonna rip us apart one way or another.

ACTION: the Shuttles stop and all pull away rapidly...

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hands fly and remove the blitrium from the mix and add the diburinium to the mix and waits for the results::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The shuttles are pulling away.

Pel Tor says:
Inok is a friend, all he wants to do is help me, but all you can feel is anger because you weren’t told he was coming here.  I don't need any medicine to help me, I only need Inok!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::looks at the view screen::  All: They are pulling away.  Something is going to happen.  Call it a gut feeling.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: They have stopped beam emissions.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Permission to prepare torpedoes just in case.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Get those shields as strong as you can make them!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Bring everything online and feed to the shields now.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Granted.

ACTION:  Red energy beams rip through the hull of the large alien vessel making huge gaps in one side...

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir I recommend that we go grey mode and feed everything into the shields.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Make it so.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hands fly::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Inok asked me to give this to you.  As for my anger, that is between me and your father.  I have told you before, you must stay out of my mind unless you have permission.

CTO_Horn says:
::Prepare 4 torpedoes and locks onto 4 power sources::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Computer: Open com ship wide.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I have four torpedoes armed and locked onto power sources.

Computer says:
CEO: Com open.

Pel Tor says:
Well, this concerns me.  You are angry, and it’s about something that has to do with me!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sees the energy beams ripping through the hull::

CNS_Rand says:
::eyes widen as she watches the screen in front of her:: XO: The beings are in a state of panic.  

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Shall I knock out the rest of the emitters now?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, take out those emitters, now!

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Are those beams the same as what cut the smaller ship apart?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
ALL: To all crew ship will be going to grey mode now.  No unnecessary use of ships power will be tolerated. You are ordered to comply.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::hands flying now as if guided by someone and she pulls everything and puts it into the shields::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Go into my office and take a seat. ::looks at Inok:: Inok: You stay out here.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Mr. Leadfoot?  As soon as we are free, turn the ship towards the bay doors.

CTO_Horn says:
::Fires all phasers at the remaining tractor emitters::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius is released from the tractor beams...

Pel Tor says:
::Stomps into the CMO's office::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Take everything we got left and feed it directly into the shields.

FCO Leadfoot says:
::Turns the ship towards the bay doors::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We're loose!!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Now would be a good time to blow a hole inhere.

CNS_Rand says:
::watches the lances of phaser fire feeling the grip of panic all around her::  CIV: Do you feel it?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Scan the area for any other openings besides the bay doors?

CTO_Horn says:
::Scanning for openings::

CIV_Serok says:
::  Nods at the CNS ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::follows Pel Tor into the office and closes the door behind her::

CIV_Serok says:
:: shakes her head at the wanton destruction and loss of life ::

ACTION:  Things around the Scorpius inside the bay begin to explode...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: It would appear that this alien has a much more powerful enemy.  CEO: Once we are outside, I want to go to maximum warp.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: You got it.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Take your pick. ::Shows several exits on the main viewer::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Sit down.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Mr. Leadfoot, choose a hole and get us out of here!

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Heat up the side warp to full power.  Be ready to engage on my command.  We are getting out of here fast.

FCO Leadfoot says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::Chooses a hole and engages at full impulse towards it::

Pel Tor says:
::sits down::

CTO_Horn says:
::Arms a torpedo for the attempt home::

CNS_Rand says:
::watches trying to make sense of it all::

EO Redshirt says:
*CEO*: Understood sir.  Side warp is now warming up.  Time to full use is 45 seconds and counting.

ACTION:  The Scorpius comes out and sees their "new friend" firing at the alien ship with several MUCH larger versions of itself...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::kneels down in front of her son so they are face to face::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Engineering already has the side warp powering up as we speak.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I have the torpedo armed and set to the Romulan specifications for our attempt.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sees who is attacking the alien ship:: All: Belay those orders.  FCO: Mr. Leadfoot, take us behind those ships.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
CTO: Remember the torpedo has to be perfectly timed with the engaging of the side warp.  No room for error at all.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Smurf, there are some things an adult would not normally tell an 8  year old but since you feel them anyway, I'm going to say it.  But, I want you to really listen, okay?

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I suggest we put as much space between us and this situation as we possibly can.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Get ready.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
CTO: I agree but we need to hurry.

FCO Leadfoot says:
::Moves the Scorpius to a position behind their alien friends::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: no.  I think we just bought us some time to do this properly.  

ACTION:  CNS Rand goes rigid and falls to the floor, eyes open but fluttering

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Do you remember when your father and I first found you?  Remember how you were the one who asked if you could call me Mama?

CIV_Serok says:
:: Rushes to the CNS ::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I suggest we get the course for home set.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
::sees the CNS::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sees the CNS go down:: *CMO* Sickbay, medical emergency on the bridge.

CIV_Serok says:
CNS:  Counselor..... :: Gently slaps her face ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: Set the course in for home, do all the proper calculations.  But, hold on engaging.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: The torpedo is set to be released and detonate at the same point and time as before.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sighs:: Pel Tor: Stay here.  *XO*: On my way.

Pel Tor says:
CMO: Yes Mother.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits her office:: Inok: Stay with him and help him please.

Inok says:
CMO: Of course, Ma'am.  ::Goes into the CMO's office and sits with Pel Tor::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grabs a kit and heads out of sickbay::

CIV_Serok says:
CNS:  The Doctor is on the way....stay with me Counselor.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Status of that large alien ship?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Engineering ready for engaging of side warp.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: They won’t be following us.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the lift:: Computer: Bridge, emergency speed!

CNS_Rand says:
::closes her eyes and slowly opens them looking around the bridge, then slowly sits up:: ALL: I'm alright...

CIV_Serok says:
:: Helps the CNS sit up ::

CIV_Serok says:
CNS:  Are you intact?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Stay sitting, Councilor.  The CMO is on her way.

CIV_Serok says:
CNS:  The Doctor will still need to examine you.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: It’s now or never!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the bridge and sees the CNS::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: What happened?

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: She suddenly went rigid, and collapsed.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Yes?

CNS_Rand says:
ALL: They're here to help, the little one brought its parents to help rescue us.  ::nods at Serok:: CIV: I'll be fine, but I seem to be in contact with the small alien out there.  It's quite intelligent.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: I need your orders now sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pulls out her tricorder and scans the CNS:: CNS: Counselor?  How are you feeling?

CIV_Serok says:
CMO:  Her eyes were fluttering and her heart rate was accelerated.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: I want to find out what our little alien friend has to tell us.

CNS_Rand says:
CMO: I feel fine now, a little awed at being able to contact that being that saved us.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
*Engineering*: Hold your actions until other wise ordered.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I have a feeling we will be able to get home in one piece now.  Our little catch friend just saved our hides.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I understand your curiosity, but our main priority is to get home.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Russ, what is the main objective of any star fleet vessel?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: It looks like the telepathic areas of your brain were a hyper-stimulated.  You're going to be fine.  It would be wise to get some rest.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: That question goes for all of you as well

CNS_Rand says:
::nods::  CMO: Thank you doctor, I will.  ::seems distant::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I know that, but we also have the number one priority to defend the Federation.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: Sir I will not engage unless ordered to.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We cannot do that from out here.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Looks up at the XO :: XO:  My preference is to learn more about the aliens.

CNS_Rand says:
XO: Those beings in the larger ship that captured us were galactic criminals.  They captured ships and chopped them into smaller parts to sale on the black market.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: This is technically a first contact situation.

CNS_Rand says:
ALL: Sometimes they would prey on our little friend's people.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Yes, it is.  CIV: Would you like the opportunity at first contact?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::overhears the conversation:: XO: Star Fleet vessels are created for exploration, Commander.  However, there is a point in which a line must be drawn.  Unless you don't care at all that your son is in my sickbay and is falling apart mentally and emotionally due to our current circumstances, and if your aliens are most important, stay here.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: However, if your crew means anything to you, get us home...SIR ::says the "sir" sarcastically not caring if she gets written up for it::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Be careful.  If you need me, I'll be in sickbay.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  I would Commander, but ultimately, that is your decision.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: May we speak in private sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads off the bridge still ticked off at her husband::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CMO: Yes, doctor.  I'll be down later for a more thorough check.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks down at the CMO:: CMO: I don't have the luxury of personal feelings, Jenise.  You know this to be true.  

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: There is a Vulcan saying, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

CTO_Horn says:
::Smirks at Jenise letting T'Lok have it::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ALL: I will be in the ready room.  I will give you my decision shortly.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Gets up and goes to the ready room, and closes the door behind him::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::pauses at the lift doors:: XO: This isn't personal Sir, it's being a leader.  Right now, you sound like you will give up the lives of the entire ship to play catch with your little buddy out there.

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
XO: In this case however I think............. ::lets the sentence die there::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Deer says:
Self: This is not a good situation at all.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Sir, I was under the impression that Starfleet’s motto was to  boldly go where no one has gone before.
