<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::At her station on the Bridge at CONN.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Walking through the Cetacean sections on deck 13 for final check::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::in his ready room, feeding the new fish in their tanks::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::standing beside his chair on the bridge, a grin on his face::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*:  Chief, I'd like to run a routine diagnostic on the engines to see how they are after this long flight.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Making her way slowly to the cetacean lab on deck 13::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::heading towards the Cetacean Lab on deck 13.  Almost runs into the Doc:: CMO: Whoops...sorry ma'am.  I'm here to give you a hand.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his fingers on the fish tank, knowing how much that irritates the fish:: Self: Heh.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::stops with a smile::  OPS:  Great.  I could use an extra pair of hands.  ::Starts walking::  Did you have a chance to read the brief on it?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CMO: Yes ma'am.  Half-human, half fish and definitely something I wouldn't want to find in my bathtub.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::rechecks the water aerator in tanks::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Chuckles::  OPS:  I won't exactly argue with you at that.  ::Stops at the lab and inputs her code.  As the door slides open, she enters::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Wonders if being in stasis and in water will change any thing.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sprinkles the last bits of fish flakes and closes the cover to the tank::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to the flight station:: CIV: Enjoying your stint in flight so far, cadet?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Sir, would you mind if I ran a routine diagnostic on the engines to see how they held up since space dock?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Computer:  Lights, 60 lumens.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to see the CMO and OPS enter the starboard Operations room::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::follows along after the doctor and stops and eager to look at the creature::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: I am its just a little like maneuvering a 3 ton truck.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: Enjoying that much, hmm?  Go ahead, I'm sure Lieutenant Soree would appreciate it.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Blinks as lights getting dimmer::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO/OPS: Welcome to the fish tank.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Thank-you sir, will give me a chance to analyze before and after for my Engineering course back at the Academy.  ::Begins to run the Diagnostic.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes the seat at his desk and calls the display up from the desk so he can review the reports on the Mantelba project::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: What affect will putting this thing in water have on its stasis status?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::While the diagnostic is running, pulls the preflight diagnostic report for comparison analysis.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Don't work too hard, Cadet.  That's what engineers are for.  ::grins::  Once the specimen is aboard, break orbit and engage our course to Luna.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Moves to examine the equipment::  CEO:  Good question.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Mia, double check everything.  I don't want anything 'leaking'.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::Smiles slightly.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rests his ankle on the opposite knee, flipping through the pages of reports and charts::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Gets huffy:: CMO: I've already done those checks.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Course is laid in.  How quick do we want to get there sir?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::hovers out of her office after finishing up some notes::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: The only thing I don't know is the water requirements.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grabs a stool and puts it down for the CMO where she can see everything:: CMO: Here ya go, ma'am.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks over the diagnostic readings::  CEO:  Calm down... If I was in condition for it, I would double and triple check it myself.  And it has nothing to do with yours, Mia's or my abilities.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Snorts in response the CMO's comments::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  Thanks Mia... I am not that bad just yet. ::Smiles::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: What temperature?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: This isn't a rush order to the best of my knowledge.  Warp seven will be sufficient.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::quietly starts to double check everything::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: Minerals, salinity?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::hovers down the corridor towards the TL::

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: The strange cargo, and a Xenoarcheologist are beamed aboard the Sharikahr.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Eyes narrow while watching Mia repeat what he and his team had already done::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
CEO:  Let's just say I am a bit leery.  As for the temperature it should be about 70 degrees and salinity, it should be about 30%.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Understood sir.  ::Inputs the warp factor into the course equation.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO:  We are ready whenever sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: Ok.. you can adjust it there. ::points to the control panel::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks back to his chair and reads the console as it beeps::  CIV: There it is.  Engage course.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::notices Magh's look and sheepishly shrugs pointing at her pips and grinning.  Then steps back as things start to materialize::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::orders the TL to her desired deck and waits quietly::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::nods as she glances at the controls and makes the adjustments::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: Figured we use this starboard tank... less crowded.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Gets the results from the Diagnostic back and saves them for further study.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::Engages.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::exits the TL and enters the bridge::

Dr_Bones says:
::stands beside her prize and looks around the cargo bay curiously::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to greet the CNS and nods:: CNS: Counselor.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles and heads down to the command area::  XO:  How is everything up here? ::nods to the cadet::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
CEO:  Looks good chief.  I guess we are ready for our 'guest'.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks around:: CNS: Calm, quiet, boring you might say.  Just like I like it.  ::smiles::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
:Nods at the CMO:: We can put a medical force field around it if you think that is necessary.

Dr_Bones says:
::wonders where the security measures are for her treasure::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Senses the ship has gone to warp::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
CMO/CEO:  It is a pity it is dead.  Though the way they are handling all of this, which makes me leery, sounds like I might not.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: I gather the specimen is aboard... we're at warp.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels a slight bump as the ship jumped to warp that knocked over one of the Lego people on his desk:: *XO*: Ahkileez to Bridge.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at her:: CMO: You mean it might not be dead?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
CEO:  As far as I know, the creature has been long dead.  But, as preserved as it is, one can never tell.  It could be in a long term hibernation... or waiting for something to wake it up.  Which I would prefer it not be with us unprepared.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks at his console and realizes where the specimen and the doctor are:: Self: Oh for Pete’s sake... CNS: You have the bridge, I need to go greet our guest.  CIV: Have the specimen beamed to the cetacean lab.  ::rushes out of the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: We're ready to move the specimen to the tank.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::in mid-jog:: *CO*: Ikari here.  ::huffs::  On my way to greet our guest sir.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles at the XO::  CDT: Report.

Dr_Bones says:
::examines her cargo to be sure that everything is still alright with the box::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*XO*: Going to transport it or carry it?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Standby for transport.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to grimace at CMO and OPS:: *CIV*: Standing by.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Initiates a site to site transport of the specimen.::

Dr_Bones says:
:;calls out:: All: Hello, anyone here?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*XO* I was just going to ask about that. Excellent. Carry on, Commander. Ahkileez out. ::Closes the comm and returns to reading the mission reports::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: It'll be there, Lieutenant.  ::huffs and puffs some more:: Ikari out.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::stops just before the cargo bay, trying to regain some composure, then enters to greet the doctor::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::giggles quietly at Magh's gruff comment to the XO and then waits for the thing to appear::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sees the specimen materialize in the tank::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO/CMO*: Do you have it?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
Bones: Welcome aboard the Sharikahr, Doctor.  Sorry I'm late in getting to you.  There must have been a scheduling snafu. My apologies.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Studies the half fish/man and shrugs::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*: We do... thanks.

Dr_Bones says:
::gasps:: Aloud: Where did it go? ::heads for the chief:: TC: Where is my cargo?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at the thing closely in awe:: Self: Jeepers....

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::strokes his chin and looking at the biomedical readings, whistling under his breath at the findings::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Activates all monitors::

Dr_Bones says:
::turns to see the XO::XO: Where is the specimen?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Turns to look at the Counselor and the several other crewman manning the bridge stations.::  CNS: Is this routine for a majority of crewman to man the bridge during this shift?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Stands back out of the way and watches CMO::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::holds up his hands to try to calm the doctor still catching his breath:: Bones: You have no need to worry, it's safely stored in our cetacean lab on deck 13.  I can escort you there if you'd like.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Double checks readings with those already sent to her::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Crewman Yesman> :: hears the cadet's question and looks at her and beams brightly from the OPS station::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: The Cetacean lab is also on standby... all ready should you need it.

Dr_Bones says:
XO: Yes, I would like. Let's get going. I can't let anyone touch it without knowing what they are doing. ::heads for the door::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CMO: Ma'am...what scans do you want me to run?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles:: CIV: I don't know about routine but it can help.  It is good practice in this sort of situations.  Now give me a report, please.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Under her breath as she double checks everything::  CEO: Thanks...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::gestures to the open hatch leading to the lab::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up::  CEO/OPS:  Well, everything seems to be in order.  Everything checks out.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: We are traveling at warp 7 on a course for Luna.  ETA is one week. Ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods to CMO:: CMO/OPS: If there will be nothing else I have other things to do.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::gestures for Bones to follow him as he heads to deck 13:: Bones: I assure you know one's 'touching' it.  We are a science vessel after all, we are accustomed to handling these types of situations.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
CEO:  I don't think so.  Thanks chief.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::walks around the tank looking at it:: CMO: And you're sure it's dead?  This thing looks like it could take on half the crew and win without breaking a sweat.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CMO: Of course ma'am. ::leaves the operations room and heads for turbolift::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles and says:: CIV: So now we just sit back and enjoy the ride.  Did you do anything special while we were on Earth?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Ahhh... but from what we know, it needs water... so if it does decide to wake up...  ::Smiles::

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: A Stasis field generator surrounds a strange creature encased in an amber substance.  It appears to be more amphibian than anything else, but it is humanoid.  Certainly in it's day a very powerful creature.

Dr_Bones says:
::follows the XO::XO: You have no idea what this is and it's significance. I assume you have tight security around the lab?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Enters turbolift:: TL: Deck 7, Engineering.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks confused:: Bones: For a dead creature?  ::starts to sweat a little:: Why would we need security for a dead creature, doctor?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS:  After the BBQ at the Captain's, I visited the Academy and spent a week on Oahu.  Other than the routine visit family and friends.  You, Ma'am?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  I would like to take some samples... but... wasn't there supposed to be a caretaker with our guest?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Pleased to see the engines running at peak efficiency.::

Dr_Bones says:
XO: This is a major discovery Commander. I have waited a lifetime to find this specimen.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Steps off the turbolift and enters Engineering; looks around checking activities, then goes to his office::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks around:: CMO: Yes ma'am...some scientist.  I've got their quarters set up for them.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Chief, the engines are running beautifully, this should be a smooth ride this week.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::as they reach the lab:: Bones: I don't believe it's going anywhere, doctor.  Here we are.  ::nods to Clooney and Ahkileez::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  Odd they are not with the creature.  ::Smiles::  Shall we name or guest or call it creature all week?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::smiles remember it all:: CIV: I got to go visit my home world for a few days and then spend some time with.. ::pauses slightly... barely noticeable:: friends. ::thinks back to meeting Hank::

Dr_Bones says:
XO: I want security around the clock. Is that understood, or do I have to contact your superiors? ::frowns a little::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::gives a low growl:: *CIV*: It had better be.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::giggles a bit as she whispers to the CMO when the XO and the scientist enter:: CMO: How about George?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Yes sir,  Haynes out.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  George it is.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the first officer::

Dr_Bones says:
::pushes into the lab:: OPS/CMO: Where is my cargo? ::looks quickly around the lab::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Welcome.  We were wondering where you had gotten off to.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS:  Its nice to spend time relaxing and with loved ones.  Is always refreshing.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sits at his desk and pulls one of 7 PADDs toward him; replenishment list.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CIV: Did you grow up on Earth?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::furrows his brow:: Bones: That won't be necessary, Doctor.  *SecGuy*: I want a security team posted at the cetacean lab at all hours until our guest Doctor Bones and the specimen have left the ship.  Starting immediately.

Dr_Bones says:
::nods at the doctor:: CMO: Has anyone touched it?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: I did ma’am.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Nope.  George is still sealed.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans back in his chair and closes his eyes, bone tired after the mad scramble to finish their special project::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Notes the new number assigned to the common isolinear chip used in most EPS junction boxes:: Self: Now why go and do that?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
<SecGuy> *XO*: Of course, sir.  I'll put a team right on it.

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: George?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::finds herself walking towards the container and opens it quietly...dropping the stasis field::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::scrolls through the list::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CIV: How has the adjustment been for you between being plant side and on a starship?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Better then calling the creature an it or 'creature'.

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: As the stasis field is lowered, the creature jumps from its environment, moving incredibly fast in the water.  It rushes to the edge of the tank, and with a swipe of its powerful arm shatters it, filling the rest of the lab with water and putting it in to the same room as everyone else.

Dr_Bones says:
::sees what is happening:: OPS: You foolish woman! Look what you've done!

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::tries to remain balanced with all the water rushing past his legs::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS:  I spent quite a bit of time piloting small craft to and from Mars for extra money when I was a teenager.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Jumps toward the containment field and activates it::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: I miss being able to just go outside and enjoy the real fresh air though.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*Security*:  Emergency in cetacean lab.

Dr_Bones says:
All: Someone get a containment field up and fast.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::blinks and looks around:: All: I... didn't mean to... I... had to...

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Hears/Sees the security alarm.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Hears an alarm sounding on the situation display console::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: Ma'am there is a security breach in the lab on deck 13.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  Mia, stand back.  Do you have a weapon handy?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::runs as fast as he can to the console::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Frowns and curses in Antican::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
Aloud: Everyone get away from the tank!

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  I thought you said the creature was dead... I guess I was more correct when I said hibernation.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CIV: What kind of breach? *CO*: Captain to the bridge.

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: The creature rushes forward and grabs a security officer, slashing his throat in one swipe, then... just disappears.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Checks her sensors.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*Bridge*: There has been a breach in the cetacean tank.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: It would appear that the creature broke out of its fields.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::just stands there watching::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::watches as the creature disappears then immediately drops to the downed officer:: CMO: Doctor!

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Damn... *CO*:  Jyg, intruder alert.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Moves hands swiftly over the console.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Moves quickly toward the security officer::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
*CO*: We have a breach in the in the cetacean tank on deck 13.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*Bridge*: Seal off deck 13!

Dr_Bones says:
XO: What have you done? I told you that your people didn't know what they were doing. ::growls at the XO and moves to the tank to look::

Deep_One says:
::Moves to the wall, moves closer to the door without anyone seeing.  Licking its hand of the blood::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Suggest securing deck 13.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Starts setting up force fields on deck 13.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::motions for the duty OPS to do it and then watches to make sure he does::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Duty OPS> ::seals off Deck 13.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::grits his teeth:: Bones: Yes, well perhaps if we were given the correct information the correct precautions would have been made.  ::looks to the CMO, inquiring about the officer::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at the man.  Reaches up to one of the towels, and covers the man::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
*XO*: Deck 13 is sealed.

Deep_One says:
::As the door to the lab opens, rushes out, leaving the lab and into the corridor::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
<Yesman> CNS: Aye ma'am....doing so right now.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::recovers his attention and rushes on to the bridge:: CNS: Report!

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::brings up schematics for deck 13::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CNS*: Boost internal sensors; see if you can find it.  The thing just... disappeared.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Now what caused that?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CIV: Boost internal sensors.  CO: We have a breach in the in the cetacean tank on deck 13.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CO: We have sealed off the deck.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: Aye.  ::Activates her sensors to pick up anything unusual.::

Dr_Bones says:
::scoffs at the XO and walks over to OPS: OPS: What have you done? You let the creature escape. There will a price to pay for your incompetence.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::trying to assimilate the problem:: CNS: Is Security on its way?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks from the man to Mia and sighs with a frown and a shake of her head::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::notices the OPS just standing there and hears the doctor's scolding:: Bones: Enough Doctor!  Why don't you find this thing and let me take care of my officers.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: Ma'am, I've got it on sensors and can track it.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CO: I believe so.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Enough... blame can be given later.  What have you learned about this creature other then it can kill easily?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::sees that the starboard tank is reported as total system failure::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at the scientist without saying a word::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CIV: Reply its position to the XO.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::tries to keep the fact that he heard his wife's voice suggesting the alert out of his mind as he starts making choices:: CNS: Make sure. ::Nods to the duty tactical officer:: Take us to Red Alert!

Deep_One says:
::Moves quickly down the corridor sees a crewman and trips him with his tail before taking a bit out of him, then rushing off again::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Glances at the first officer as they speak at the same time.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::checks to see if sec is on its way::

Dr_Bones says:
::turns back to the XO::XO: If you had done your job in the first place, all this could have been avoided. Now you want me to clean up her mess? ::points to Clooney::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*: Commander I've got the creature on tracking sensors.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up:: CO: Sec is on its way, Captain.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Doctor... If I lose any people due to your whining, you will deal with me later.  Drop it and tell me what I need to know.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*: It is in the corridor near the lab approximately 10 meters to the right.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::tries to inflate his admittedly small stature:: Bones: One person is dead and more are sure to be if you don't tell us everything you know about this thing.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CMO*: I'm showing total tank system failure.. what happened?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sits in his chair as the lights dim and the alarms start to blare:: CNS: Good. Man internal communications please, Counselor.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::just looks around the room, at the dead man and then at the scientist::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Security arrives at the supposed location of the creature... but see nothing.  However, in a mere second the entire Security team is dead.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
:nods::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*:  Mia woke up our guest and it escaped.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: Bridge to Ikari. Commander, what the hell is going on down there?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CIV*: Contain it.  Converse with Lieutenant Soree for help.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CO: Aye sir. ::grabs a nearby console::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Sir the creature just slaughtered a security detail.  ::Pale.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*:  Attempting to sir.

Dr_Bones says:
::glares at the CMO:: CMO: Very well. As you saw for yourself, this creature has many skills including his little disappearing act.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Snarls loudly::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CMO*: Escaped to where?

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Does temperature have any effect on it?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::notices a flashing light::  CO: The bio signs on the sec team are ... gone sir.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
XO:  We need to get deck 13 cleared.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CO*: Security breach sir.  The creature is apparently alive and very powerful.  It broke through the glass after the stasis field was down, killed a security officer then vanished.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Engages a force field on the side closest to the lab and another one on the other side of where the creature is.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eye twitches slightly at the report but no other outward sign of it's effect:: CIV: Send a backup team, and get Gamma and Delta Teams to the armory. In the mean time, let's start isolating... whatever it is.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CMO: Not from down here.  All: Let's get to the bridge, it's not safe here.  ::begins the trip::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Chief I've activated two force fields on deck 13, can you maintain them?

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: We still haven't determined that yet.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: 'Vanished' isn’t a good term, Ike. We need this thing found, and quickly. Tell me what you need.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: Yes.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at them:: XO/CMO/Bones: .I'm...I'm sorry...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CIV*: Extend them to include the Jefferies tubes from that deck.

Deep_One says:
::Sitting at an end of a corridor licking the last of the blood from its hands.  its eyes watching down the corridor::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
XO:  I suggest we empty this deck, secure and isolate and bring the temperature down to freezing.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CO*: I need to get us out of here, sir.  And don't send any security teams to it.  That thing is dynamite.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*Security Teams*:  Report to Deck 13.

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: Scans show that he is a predator, a carnivorous creature.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Takes Mia's arm::  OPS:  We'll talk about it later.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Sir... suggest we halt the turbolift from going to deck 13.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::without a word grabs Mia by the arm and pulls her along with him:: ALL: Let's go!  We're getting off this deck.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::over hears the XO's orders:: Sec Teams: Belay that order.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Sir I've lost the creature on internal sensors.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: We have to contain it first. We'll send security teams to start ensuring your avenues of escape. If this thing is as big as they say it is, it can't use the Jefferies tubes. Use those if you have to.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Prepare to freeze deck 13.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*: Do it. And... ::hears Amber's report:: CIV: What? Lost it? How?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::stumbles along:: XO: Wait...aren't there force fields up?  We can't go that way...

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Yes sir.  ::Activates the force fields for the entire deck.::

Deep_One says:
::Picks the flesh from its teeth, slowly starts making its way down the corridor again, passing the dead security team::

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: He kills to survive and he's been waiting for over a millennia for his next meal. Do you understand the meaning of that doctor?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CMO*: Freeze? As in lower the temperature?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*:  I've activated force fields on your deck to try to contain the creature. I recommend a site to site transport of you off that deck.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Bones:  Where are you getting this information from?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: Belay that order, Lieutenant.  CMO: I've got the pips here, Doctor.  Now's not the time to go over my head.  C'mon.  OPS: We'll take the Jefferies tubes.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*CEO*:  Yes... if nothing else it might allow us to see it, it does have water on it.  And perhaps slow it down.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Sir I've got the creature back on sensors.  ::Extrapolates its position.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes the fog out of her head and pulls herself out of their grasp:: CMO/XO: Then we can go through the lab...it's safer.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
*XO*:  I am not going over your head... I am in my area now, not yours.  ::Glances at the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eyes still darting from station to station:: CIV: Good. Have Security start erecting internal force fields outward from that position. We need to hem this thing in.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Listens to both commands and shrugs:: *XO*: Aye sir... waiting for your command.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Sir the XO, CMO and OPS are still on that deck, we need to get them out.

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: I have studied the ancient texts and the readings of the "Dark Ones".

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CMO: This ship is my area.  And we don't have time to argue.  OPS: We'll go to the closest port.  *CIV*: Track us on sensors, when we get to the JT’s, drop the field long enough for us to get through, assuming the creature isn't nearby

Deep_One says:
::Sensing something moving close by, rushed forward right into a force field::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks from the CMO to the XO and then starts pulling on both of their arms:: XO/CMO: Come on...you can argue about it while we're climbing...this way ::points to the nearest hatch::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::drums his nails on console watching all the readings from deck 13::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*: Sir wouldn't it be easier and less of a security risk if we just site to sited you?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::listens to all the reports and eyes the visual vids of the lab::  CO: We seem not to be able to detect it visually.  However we might be able to see it using IR or UV rays that is just out side of our visual spectrum.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::keeps his voice low and level:: CIV: One thing at a time, Cadet. We'll only make mistakes if we panic. Just keep relaying orders and keeping me up to date.

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: After running into a force field the creature stares around for a few moments... Then a crewman suddenly and unexplainably, takes the field down.  The creature is loose and free to go where it wishes.

Dr_Bones says:
::takes a few deep breathes:: CMO: This creature is one of many who protects the ancient God known as "The Oldest". He will seek out all who pose a threat and kill them.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks around:: Self: This isn't going to work... I'm too isolated here. ::leaves Engineering for turbolift::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CNS: A good plan, but it will take time to fit the security teams with the optics to do it. But get someone rolling on that anyway, just in case.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
TL: Bridge.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::nods, listening to the doctor, ignoring the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CIV*: We'd have to drop the force fields, no good.  ::shakes his head::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CIV: Is there anyone in the immediate vicinity of the creature?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::gets to the hatch:: *CIV*: We're at the hatch, is the field good to drop?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*: I'd only need to drop the one around the lab sir.

Deep_One says:
::Grins and rushes off again::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::works with the Duty TO and begins the process::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO:  Sir there are security details posted at every entrance to the deck.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hears the scientist drone on and starts to push her towards the hatch:: Bones: That's very nice Doctor...but we need to go to safety now... ::opens the hatch and points::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Exits turbolift on bridge moves to his console there and brings up deck 13 schematics::

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: We believe that they are telepathic as well as empaths, but that is inconclusive according to our scans so far.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Here now sir.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Glances at OPS::  Bones:  I am not so sure...

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*Security Teams*:  Activate your tricorders to this frequency.  ::Sends out the frequency.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Some one dropped a field on deck 13.

Dr_Bones says:
::moves to the hatch still trying to convince the doctor of the danger::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks over his shoulder at Soree and sighs in relief, then turns back:: CIV: I need to know if there is anyone in the *immediate* vicinity. Pull everyone back, we'll start flooding those sections with Anesthezine.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
XO:  I got news for you... climbing is not in my current repertoire.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*:  On your mark sir.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::kicks the wall:: *CIV*: I appreciate your thoughts on the subject but just drop the field at the hatch, cadet.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::points to the hatch:: CMO/Bones: Doctors.....nice hatch.. safe hatch...need to get in now...

Dr_Bones says:
CMO: Your crew is in grave danger doctor.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: No sir once the XO, OPS and CMO are in the Jefferies tube and the field is back up you can gas away sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Brings up status of all force fields and listens to catch up on plan::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*XO*: Dropping now sir.  ::Drops it.::

Dr_Bones says:
::turns to OPS::OPS: You have set loose the reins of war. You fool! ::climbs inside the hatch::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
Bones: Yes doctor.. it seems to be a talent of mine..

Host Frank_SM says:
ACTION: The creature makes its way easily through the ship, force fields are useless.  Sensors are able to track it, but it leaves death in its wake everywhere it goes.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Sir the creature is literally walking through the force fields, they are having no effect.
