USS Scorpius - NCC 50666 – 10511.19

"Prelude to Fury"

Episode 1:  "Illusions"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

The USS Scorpius has been assigned to routine patrol between Galordon Core and the Romulan Neutral Zone.

During its traverse of the area, several gaseous anomalies were logged routinely, and several systems that had been charted but not explored well have been added to the Scorpius itinerary.

New officers came aboard a couple days earlier, and are getting used to their new assignments...or picking up their old ones.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge going over the records or her two new officers::
OPS_Raash says:
::enters the bridge and heads to OPS::
CEO_Deer says:
::in engineering going over the latest logs of power grid replacement::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Grumbling around in his quarters, throwing things into crates, packing things away, and just being down right miserable::
CNS_Rand says:
::pushes back from her desk, looking at her schedule displayed on her desk monitor::
OPS_Raash says:
::relieves the gamma shift officer and takes her place::
CSO_Lewis says:
::steps into the turbolift heading for the bridge::
CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge::
CNS_Rand says:
Self:  Hmmm.  *XO* Rand to Garta-Nmbarri, do you have a moment?
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* what do you want?
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::very angry at being disturbed::
CNS_Rand says:
::smiles knowingly:: *XO* Commander, when you have a moment I would like you to meet me in the gym.
CTO_Horn says:
::Takes over the TAC console::
CSO_Lewis says:
::rides the turbolift to the bridge and departs, gazing around the bridge::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* for what reason?
OPS_Raash says:
::goes over basic energy requests from various departments::
CEO_Deer says:
*OPS*: How’s your power distribution looking???  I had to replace most of the power grid lines.
CNS_Rand says:
*XO* for our next session, Commander
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* Do you think the Gym can handle me today?
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Openly tosses a stack of old earth style books into a large box, making quite a noise::
CNS_Rand says:
*XO* I think it will hold up, if not...we have maintenance crews that can repair the damage.
OPS_Raash says:
*CEO*: Everything appears to be running smoothly at the moment.  I’m preparing to do some power transfers now.  I will notify you if there is a problem.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CNS* Oh very well.  I am on my way.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Report!
CSO_Lewis says:
::walks to her station and relieves the crewman on duty before turning to the Captain::
OPS_Raash says:
CO: Everything shows green at the moment, Captain.
CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Engineering is 100% and ready to go sir.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Weapons at 100%.
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: Everything’s ready to go here ::having checked her console before reporting::
CNS_Rand says:
*XO* Understood
OPS_Raash says:
::begins to transfer available power to astrometrics and other science labs per their request::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Walks down the corridor, angry at anything, and nothing at all.  Angry that Jenise left with the children, and didn't say good bye.  Angry that he placed his son’s life and welfare into the hands of a stranger, just generally angry::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Good.  Let's keep it that way, shall we?
CTO_Horn says:
CO: As long as we keep the side warp experiments off the ship we should have no problem with that..
CNS_Rand says:
::makes her way to meet the Exec in the Gym::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters the gym looking like a level 4 ion storm::
CSO_Lewis says:
::turns back to her station::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Couldn't agree more, Commander.  Let's continue on course and be ready for anything ...
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks around for the CNS, growling at anyone that gets into his way::
OPS_Raash says:
::sees a flash on her board and switches to checking the comms::
CNS_Rand says:
::notices a flashing message on her way out, but continues down to the gym arriving shortly after the XO:: *CO* All within the Counseling department is as it should be at this stage, Captain.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have the system set up to do a passive tachyon scan every few minutes to look for any of our Romulan friends.
CNS_Rand says:
XO: Hello Commander, I didn't realize that you would arrive this quickly.
OPS_Raash says:
*CEO*: There is a message coming in for you.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: Is there a reason that I wouldn't be punctual?  We did have a scheduled meeting, did we not?
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Good.  If the Romulans come anywhere near us I want to know immediately ...
CNS_Rand says:
::motions to the punching bags:: XO: Why don't we start here and you can tell me a little of what is on your mind.  Remember to punctuate each thought or feeling with an action against the bag.
CEO_Deer says:
*OPS*: A message????  OK pipe it down.
CNS_Rand says:
XO: Our next scheduled meeting is tomorrow, but I wanted to see you today knowing what you are going through.
OPS_Raash says:
*CEO*: Coming down.  Raash out. ::sends the message to Engineering::
CSO_Lewis says:
::her hands run over the console before her, as she listens to the chatter on the bridge::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: So, you wish for me to do something violent to get my aggressions out?
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Keep long range sensors peeled, Ensign.
CEO_Deer says:
::opens up the console and reads the message::  Self:  Holy cow How in the world.........
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: Yes Sir
CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: XO: Yes, rather than keeping them pent up and 'exploding' so to speak at an inappropriate time.
CSO_Lewis says:
::double-checks long range sensors are working::
CEO_Deer says:
Out loud: Ich-ney-choc-yehy (translates to hallelujah)
OPS_Raash says:
::continues the energy transfer with a smile, no problems yet::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches her bridge crew work ... knows they are the best in Starfleet::
CEO_Deer says:
Self: I am going home and to become an instructor at the academy.
CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Sir Permission to come to bridge.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Walks over to the punching bag, and inspects it.  Punching bag: I am angry at my wife.  I am angry at myself.  Why do you have to do such STUPID THINGS ALL THE TIME??? ::Hits the bag with all his might and anger::

ACTION: The punching bag flies across the room and hits the opposite wall

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Granted, Ensign.
CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Stands and stares at the punching bag, growling at it::
CEO_Deer says:
::flies out the engineering section to the TL:: Computer: Bridge Express!!!
OPS_Raash says:
::glances around at the others on the bridge, hoping she gets to stay on board this time::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Turns and glares at the CNS:: CNS: Is there anything else that I can use to express myself? ::said sarcastically::
CEO_Deer says:
::steps off the TL and walks to the CO::  CO: Sir a moment with you sir?
CNS_Rand says:
::nods in approval:: XO: Another of the punching bags perhaps, or the judo targets?
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Certainly.  CTO:  Take the bridge, Commander.  ::signals to the CEO to join her in her ready room::
CEO_Deer says:
::tries to keep her composure::
CEO_Deer says:
::follows the CO to her ready room::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: They wouldn't stand a chance.  Perhaps we need to contact maintenance and give them a heads up that a new gym will be required?
CTO_Horn says:
::Takes center seat::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters and sits .. Motions to the CEO to do the same::  CEO:  What is it, Ensign?
CNS_Rand says:
XO: Perhaps, but I think we should concentrate on you, not on what maintenance may think.  I'll handle all of that later.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir, I have some great news and then bad at the same time.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Walks over to a medicine ball that is sitting on the ground, and kicks it with all his might, and watches it as it sails towards the far wall of the gym::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::listens::
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir I got my orders to return to Starfleet Academy to become an Instructor.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Congratulations, Ensign.  What do you intend to do?
CEO_Deer says:
CO: The bad news is that it is effective immediately.
CNS_Rand says:
::watches the medicine ball sail across the room:: XO: Excellent, Commander.  I know that you don't see the point in this, but you need a release for your anger.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: I have so much anger inside me.  I feel that I will not be able to perform my duties adequately for fear that I will injure someone.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: I do have someone in mind to replace me till you get an official one posted to the Scorpius.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Stands, very tense, staring at the next object to come into his path... a set of workout weights::
CNS_Rand says:
XO: And that is why I called you here.  I am concerned for the same reasons.  I want you to work off your anger now, rather than feel compelled to relieve you from duty for the safety of yourself and the crew.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Her name is J`Trel Koni B'Renak and she is a personal friend of mine.  She is an excellent CEO.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  I'd hate to lose you, Ensign.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CNS, then at the cart of weights:: CNS: Just how much weight do you think is sitting on that cart?
OPS_Raash says:
::continues her work:: CTO: Everything is quiet today up here.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir I know but it is a chance of a lifetime for me.  I got to grab it.  Things like this don't happen everyday.
CNS_Rand says:
::follows his line of sight and studies the weights:: XO: close to 500 pounds at least.
CSO_Lewis says:
CTO: Sir, I'm detecting a weak energy signature from an unexplored system about 2 light years away. ::she looked up from her console and towards the center seat::
CTO_Horn says:
OPS: Yes it is a surprising yet welcome change.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Understood.  If you wish, I will authorize your transfer orders effective immediately.  But I would like to you think of what you're giving up here.
CTO_Horn says:
CSO: Can you identify the source?
CNS_Rand says:
XO: Perhaps a series of repetitions lifting weights would work off some of this anger and in a more productive way.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: This is an example of my anger.  ::Walks over to the cart, lifts it over his head, and tosses it like a rag doll::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Lets out a sigh:: CNS: Actually, I found that very productive.
CSO_Lewis says:
CTO: No Sir, it appears to be a repeating pattern.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir the Scorpius has been my home for the last few months and I have come to love her very much.  I know what I would be giving up sir and it hurts like hell but on the other hand it is a chance to go home and be with my parents and back on the reservation.
CTO_Horn says:
CSO: Can you tell me anything else?
CSO_Lewis says:
CTO: No sir
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir J`Trel has served with me and I can vouch for her engineering qualifications.  She is a top notch engineer and knows her ships.
CTO_Horn says:
CSO: Keep trying.
CNS_Rand says:
::nods understanding his anger:: XO: It's good to do find a productive outlet.  
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  You'll go with my blessing, Ensign.  I wish you all the best at the Academy.  I know how good an Engineer you are and you'll make a fine instructor.
CTO_Horn says:
Helm: set a course for that energy signature.
CSO_Lewis says:
CTO: Yes sir ::turns back to her station and taps the console::
CNS_Rand says:
XO: It is also good to talk about your feelings and what is going on inside of you.  But we will only talk when you are ready.
CTO_Horn says:
*CO*: Horn to Horn.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Go ahead, Commander.
CEO_Deer says:
CO: Thank you sir.  I will get intouch with J`Trel and have her come to the Scorpius by shuttle as soon as possible.  Sheis a Leiutenant sir.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Thank you, Ensign.  Dismissed.
OPS_Raash says:
::focuses on comms coming from that area to see if she can get any more information for the CTO::
CTO_Horn says:
CO: We have picked up an energy signature in a system 2 light years away. I have adjusted course to investigate.
CEO_Deer says:
::salutes her Captain::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Trembles, fists tight, anger in his eyes:: CNS: Why did this happen?  Why did she leave?  Why do I always drive the people that I love the most away from me?  The anger builds within me.  Its building up to a level that even I fear.  Why do these things always happen to me??? ::Loses it, and goes into a frenzy, throwing everything and anything that isnt nailed down around the gym::
CEO_Deer says:
::truns on her heel and hurries out and stops::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Maintain course.  I'm on my way.  ::exits the RR and makes her way down to the command centre::
CEO_Deer says:
::a stray tear runs down her cheek as she takes her last look at the bridge of the Scorpius that was her home for a good while::
CTO_Horn says:
::Takes Tactical  back::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Turns to the CNS and utters a single word to her:: CNS: Run.

ACTION:  Furniture and things fly around the gym...injuring the CNS slightly

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles at the CEO:: CTO:  Looks like we've lost Ensign Deer to the Academy ...
CEO_Deer says:
::wiping it away she hurries to the TL and ordes it to engineering::
OPS_Raash says:
::gets nothing on the comms from that direction::
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Huh?
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Is so enraged that he doesnt even realize that something has struck the CNS::
CEO_Deer says:
::enters engineering and hurries to her office to comm J`Trel::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Ensign Deer has just been offered a teaching position at the Academy.
CNS_Rand says:
::watches the Exec releasing all the head back emotions encouraged at first, then starts backing away as things begin to hit her...freezes when she hears his voice then moves toward the door as quickly as she can as she dodges what he's throwing::
CEO_Deer says:
Computer: Open subspace channel to USS Sangria.  Comm for J`Trel Koni B'Renak CEO.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Continues throwing everythign he can get his hands on::
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Really?
CEO_Deer says:
::the computer screene is replaced withthe face of J`Trel::
CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel: Jolantru my old friend.
CNS_Rand says:
::stands outside the gym for a moment, then heads for her office to prepare a strong sedative::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CTO:  Her replacement should arrive in the next few days.  Anyhow what's happening with that energy signature?
CTO_Horn says:
CO: We cant get much of a reading on it at this distance.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Anything more on long range sensors?
J`Trel says:
Deer: Jolan'tru as well what can I do for you my old friend.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: It however appears to be repeating a pattern of some sort.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::As he releases his anger, he keeps mumbling and yelling things like How cound she just leave, and why am I so stupid, and there is no reason to go on without Jenise and the children, but keeps throwing things at the same time::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO:  Some kind of automated signal?
CTO_Horn says:
CO: That would be my guess, but we just dont know at this point.
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: The signal appears to be coming from the moon of one of the gas giants.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Please don't tell me it's located in the Neutral Zone ...
CNS_Rand says:
::enters her office and prepares the sedative, leaving as quickly as possible before the Exec hurts himself::
CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel: I have received my appointment to the Academy as an instructor in Engineering.  I can't leave the Scorpius without a CEO so I thought of you .  Is it possible that you can takeover till they get an official one appointed?
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::One of the weights that T`Lok throws into the air comes back and smacks him, hard, on the shoulder::
OPS_Raash says:
::continues her work::
CEO_Deer says:
::an ensign walks into her office and hands her a PADD and tells her that there is a power fluctuation in the gym::
CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel: Give me a second please.
J`Trel says:
Deer: Of course old friend.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Lets check the coordinates.
CNS_Rand says:
::enters the gym and looks at the chaos, gathers her wits and moves slowly to get in behind the Exec::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  You have the coordinates of the signal?
CNS_Rand says:
::when she feels she's in a good position, she moves in quickly...pressing the hypo to his neck and administering the heavy sedative::
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: Yes Sir.
CEO_Deer says:
::reads the PADD and signs it::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Forward them to the helm.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Picks up a large, heavy weight over his head as the sedative kicks in... the weight drops onto his head::
CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel: How long before you could arrive on the Scorpius???

ACTION:  The XO falls to the floor unconscious...
J`Trel says:
Deer: I could be there in a day.  We are in the next sector not far from your current position.  Is that fast enough?

CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel: That is great news.  I can tell the captain then.
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Lays on the floor, out cold::
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: Yes Sir ::taps the console sending the information to helm.::
J`Trel says:
Deer: Yes old friend you may .  I will be there in 24 hours.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Take us in to the coordinates, Commander.

ACTION:  A Romulan D'deridex-class warbird appears from nowhere right in front of the Scorpius
CEO_Deer says:
J`Trel:  Good to see yu my old friend and thanks.  I owe you one again.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  All stop!
CTO_Horn says:
All: Red Alert!!!!

ACTION:  The Warbird powers her disruptors...
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Hail them!
CTO_Horn says:
::Performs an evasive manuver::
CEO_Deer says:
::closes the computer just as all hell breaks loose::
CIV_Serok says:
:: looks up from her meditation when she hears the red alert and heads straight to the bridge ::
CNS_Rand says:
::sinks to the floor beside the Exec and quickly checks his vitals:: 
CEO_Deer says:
::flies from her office yelling and barking orders::

ACTION:  the Warbird fires point-blank at the Scorpius!
CSO_Lewis says:
::looks up as the warbird appears and grabs her station to keep to her feet::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Evasives!  Back us off!
OPS_Raash says:
::transfers power to the shields and weapons::
CTO_Horn says:
::Slaves tactical to the helm::

ACTION:  Nothing happens...and the Romulan warbird winks out of existance...
CEO_Deer says:
*CO* What in the name of hell is going on???
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  We got Romulan problems, Ensign.
CNS_Rand says:
::feels the ship rock slightly:: *Transporter room* This is Counselor Rand, I need a site to site transport to sickbay, medical emergency.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Damage report!
CTO_Horn says:
All: What in the blue hell!!!
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Get Commander Garta-Nmbarri up here.
CEO_Deer says:
::goes to the mail engineering board and looks for any problems::
OPS_Raash says:
::rechecks for damage to the sensors, that ship couldn't have just disappeared::
CTO_Horn says:
*XO*: Commander Nmbarri, Report to the bridge immediatly!!!
CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the turbolift onto the bridge ::
CEO_Deer says:
::doesn't find any damage::
CTO_Horn says:
CO: No Damage.
CTO_Horn says:
::Leaves the helm and runs to tac::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What!?  How can they fire point blank at us and we sustain no damage ... check again.
CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: Engineering reports no damage.  But for a shot at point blank range it is strange.  Oh and J`Trel will be arriving by shuttle in 24 hours sir.
FCO Slomo says: 
::enters the bridge and takes the Flight station::
CTO_Horn says:
::Taps some buttons::
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Its like they were never there.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Agreed.
CNS_Rand says:
::feels the transport take effect and finds herself and the Exec in sickbay:: 
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Check for temporal anomalies.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: No power signature. No warp trail. Nothing.
OPS_Raash says:
::continues checking:: CO: Captain, there was no energy drain to our shields.
OPS_Raash says:
CO: It's like we were never hit at all.
CEO_Deer says:
::runs a diagnostic on the main engineering board to make sure it is functioning within normal parameters::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  This is too weird ...
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Any theories?
CSO_Lewis says:
::Is still picking up the pieces and trying to figure out what happened, due to there being no trace of the ship or damage:: CO: Heck if I know Sir.
CEO_Deer says:
Self: If no damage then what the hell is going on.
CIV_Serok says:
CO:  There is not enough information to form a hypothasis Captain.
MO Pierce says:
::rushes over to the CNS and XO:: CNS: What happened here?
CTO_Horn says:
CO: No temporal readings.
CEO_Deer says:
*CO*: No damage to engineering sir but it is really wierd not to have any damage.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am lost. I have no clue what just happened.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV/CSO/CTO:  Go through all sensor scans.  Report anything you find out of the ordinary.
FCO Slomo says:
CO: Continue on our course Captain?
CTO_Horn says:
CO: There is no response from T'Lok
CSO_Lewis says:
CO: Yes Sir ::her hands already moving over the console::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Continue on course for the moon.
CNS_Rand says:
MO: A therapy session gone arry.  He was struck in the head with a weight that he was preparing to throw.
CTO_Horn says:
CO: Tactical scans show nothing.
CIV_Serok says:
:: moves to an empty console and begins to look through the sensor data. ::
CNS_Rand says:
MO: He was sedated moments prior to the injury, I didn't notice that he had the barbell in his hand.
CEO_Deer says:
::leaves engineering in the hands of the capable senior engineer and heads for her things to pack::
MO Pierce says:
::shakes his head:: CNS: He isn't the only one wanting to hit him in the head with a large object. ::begins scanning the XO::
FCO Slomo says:
CO: Aye Captain.  We are maintaining course and speed::
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Bridge to Cmdr Garta-Nmbarri.
OPS_Raash says:
::sees the transport to sickbay::  CO: I just had an emergency transport to Sickbay, Captain.  The signature from the commbadges belonged to the Commander and the Counselor.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Take the bridge, Commander.  I'm going to sickbay.  ::storms off the bridge::
CNS_Rand says:
::begins to focus her thoughts, but is distracted by the Captain's voice:: *CO* Captain, this is Counselor Rand.  Commander Garta-Nmbarri has been injured and is being treated by Dr. Pierce and myself.
MO Pierce says:
CNS: He's got a serious concussion and fractured shoulder from the impact.
CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  What happened, Counsellor?
CTO_Horn says:
::Takes center seat as his wife leaves before he can say anything::
XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::in his out of conciousness state, mumbles something almost totally incoherant, but goes something like "not without you at my side, jeni"::
CTO_Horn says:
All: Stay alert.
OPS_Raash says:
::Shakes her head, things haven't changed much around here::
MO Pierce says:
XO: She's not here, thanks to you, now hush before I sedate you further.
CNS_Rand says:
::nods slightly:: MO: I'll see if I can do anything to relieve the swelling from the concussion.  The break is beyond anything that I can do without medical equipment
