CO_Capt_Mordane says:
Captain's Log: Stardate 10509.22, We are investigating a centuries-old Federation vessel that appears to have a connection with the Har-Magedd colony.  The vessel seems to be uninhabited, though there is a power source on board, so we are hoping its computer data banks will give us information on the colony.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::is in sickbay finishing up the reports the CO requested:: Self: Just have to press send and I'm done.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::entering the auxiliary science lab with Tac_Plehelp::
Host NightWind says:
Scenery:  Aboard the ancient ship, the Away Team in their EVA suits heads down toward the engineering section.  All is quiet.  But they are not alone.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::makes his way to the engineering section with the CIV and CTO::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::At her console monitoring the area.::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::has one eye on the tricorder and the other on the rest of his team::
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::picks up a tricorder to scan the lab:: Tac_Plehelp: What exactly did you find in here.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::sighs as he hits send and the report goes to the CO::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::enters the bridge after getting help with her headache::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@ALL: Careful gang.  New territory.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::raises a hand, motioning the CIV and CEO to a stop just outside the door to engineering::
Ensign_Lald says:
:: Enters sick bay holding his hand, his face obviously in pain.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Have we heard from the team, Sir? ::moves to her chair and takes a seat::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@CIV/CEO: I have life sign readings. Weak, but there.
Tiarranda says:
@All:  New territory?
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::begins to scan, looking for anything odd::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::taps his comm badge:: *CO*: Captain, the reports you asked for are ready.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
CTO: Can you determine what species?
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: We have them in Panavision even...  They appear to have encountered a latent AI on board. 
Ensign_Lald says:
:: Stumbles as he looks around for the doctor.::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: Thank you Doctor, I'll be sure to look over them. 
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Cartwright out. ::closes the link::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::shakes his head:: CIV: Could be that their two weak to make an ID, lieutenant. Either way I advise caution from here on.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the CTO stands before the doors, the life signatures seem to multiply.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CTO: Are you picking up multiple life signs? ::taps his tricorder::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CTO: I would watch it before you moved.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Any crew or just the computer?
Host NightWind says:
SCENERY:  As the counselor enters the lab, she finds everything in order, except for one rather large detail.  The walls have been painted in fantastic designs and scenery of myth and legend... she thinks.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::blinks once, but only once:: CIV/CEO: Scratch that. I've got more than one. A minute... ::tries to gain specifics::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CTO: So its not just my tricorder..
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: No crew...the ship itself seems to be as old as the colony. 
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::decides to go to the bridge, and exits sickbay for the TL::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
CTO: That is why I said not to move on the doors.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@CEO/CIV: We may have a problem. For a ship without a crew... I've got a few hundred life sign readings here. All of them appearing to be through that door.
Ensign_Lald says:
CMO:  Doc?
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::blinks in shock and scans some more:: *CO*: Captain, someone's been redecorating in the lab.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: Redecorating Counselor?? 
Tiarranda says:
@All:  Is something wrong?
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CTO: Hundreds?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Could it be the way they got to the planet originally?
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::walks about the room as she scans and speaks with the CO:: *CO*: The walls have been repainted. The murals are of ancient myth and legend.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: You said you have no crew. Yet my readings show something very much to the contrary.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Ensign: Are you ok?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
::reaches out with her Betazoid senses::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::stops in his tracks::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: Whose ancient myths? 
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: They're very good, but sad. I'm oddly drawn to them.
Ensign_Lald says:
:: Shakes his head::  CMO:  I... I don't know doc.  I was just... sleeping when I suddenly felt this sharp pain in my arm and ... :: removes his hand and the red bandage to show what looks like a bite taken out.::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: It could very well be...though I didn't think we built ships that sturdy that long ago. 
Tiarranda says:
@CTO:  No... I have no crew anymore.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Ensign Lald: Get up on the biobed and let me check that out. ::hurries to help him up on the bed::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Tiarranda: That would seem to be untrue as the tricorder is picking up life signs.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: Then why is it I show several hundred life signs behind this door, where there should obviously be none?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Somebody did, Sir, or it wouldn't be here.  Perhaps the owners of that vessel helped in the loss of contact.
Ensign_Lald says:
:: As he makes it to the bed, everything goes dark and he sags down into unconsciousness.::
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: Not really, Sir, but that's what they bring to mind.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Well I'm hoping that they actually made it to the colony...otherwise we have about 100 missing persons on our hands. 
Tiarranda says:
@CTO:  I do not know... honest.  My crew has been gone for a very long time.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: And multiplied for generational increases over 300 years, that's a lot of people. 
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::catches Ensign Lald and pushes him up on the biobed and begins examining him quickly::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@All: This is starting to give me the creeps
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: See if the computer can give us an analysis on them. 
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::continues scanning with a tricorder, hoping to pick up the artist of the murals::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::nods:: CO: Then it increases the importance of locating and contacting the colony.  Otherwise, we need to find an answer to quite a mystery.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@CIV/CEO: Recommend I go in First, Lieutenant. Nothing against Ensign Falor's enthusiasm, but either the AI or our instruments are lying. And neither looks good with us standing here.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CEO: Calm yourself.  It will do you no good to lose your concentration.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::works vigorously scanning the Ensign's wounds::
Tiarranda says:
@ CEO:  Please... fix my ship.  It has been so long since I was sent on my mission.  They could all be dead by now.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Tiarranda: Do you have any self-arming tactical weapons or protection grids?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Asks Ensign Speeda to come to the bridge.::
Tiarranda says:
@ CIV:  But of course.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::beats his hand into his comm badge to activate it:: *CO*: Captain, we have a situation here in sickbay. Ensign Lald is here with a large bite wound.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: Someone bit Ensign Lald?  ::shock in his voice is heard:: 
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::readies his rifle, and waits for the CIV to give the okay... or at least tell him to buzz off, so he knows what he's doing::
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::scans the murals directly, loading the information into the computer for analysis:: Computer: Please analyze these murals and report any relevant information.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Tiarranda: Can you deactivate them before we enter?
Speeda says:
::Arrives on the bridge.:: FCO: Yes Lt?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Not someone Captain, something. I'm detecting some poisonous toxins in his system.
TO_Ens_Smith says:
::looks up from the tactical console, and wipes his eyes... staring at empty space, even through sensors, was not a requirement for a security officer::
Tiarranda says:
@ :: Confused::  CIV:  Before you enter?  Ohhhh... I understand.  No, there is nothing like that in my engineering.  Besides, if there were, it would be rather hard to activate them with no power.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::touches the painting nearest her:: Self: So beautiful, yet sad. Who did these?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
Speeda: Here take the CONN.  Just follow the XO's and CO's orders.  Keep an eye out for anything that needs reporting.  Comm me if you need me.
Speeda says:
FCO: Aye, Aye. ::Takes the helm as the FCO stands up.::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
Tiarranda: OK Very good.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
CTO: You may advance inside the engineering section.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::waits for the CTO to enter and give the OK for him to follow::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
XO: Permission to leave the bridge. ::Indicates that she has been relieved.::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: What was his last known location? 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@ALL: We need to force the doors.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The counselor hears a slight crunch under her foot.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO: Stay in contact, Lieutenant.  It sounds like we may have a mystery on our hands.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::stands closest to the doors, and glances toward the CEO:: CEO: There should be a manual override or something. If you can get me in, I can do the rest.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::looks around the door for a manual override::
Tiarranda says:
@ ALL:  The override is within the panel beside the door.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: He said he was sleeping, before he passed out sir.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Nods.:: XO: Yes ma'am.  I seem to be having difficulty concentrating at the moment.  I will be in the mess hall or my quarters.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::watches and helps the best she can offer::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::spots the panel:: All: There it is. ::opens the panel and pulls a lever a few times, opening the doors slowly::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: Have his quarters sealed off, and send a HAZMAT team in to investigate. 
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the doors open slowly with a grinding sound, many small insectoid creatures quickly begin to make their escape.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::moves her foot quickly, notices the bracelet, and picks it up:: Self: Damn, should have looked first. ::scans the bracelet with the tricorder::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO: Understood, if you need help don't hesitate to go to sickbay.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Why do these problems always seem to come up when half the senior staff is gone?  I get the feeling someone out there has it in for me. 
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::ducks to avoid the insects::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Yes sir, Cartwright out. ::closes the link, then works quickly to seal off Ensign Lald's quarters and coordinate a hazmat team.::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: All: Hey, now. Away team duty said nothing about alien mosquitoes. ::smirks::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@:: ducks as the insects fly out::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::follows the team's example::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Well, Sir, they may be the ones that are safe.  It's rather good to be separated at the moment.  They can always stay in their EVA suits on return.
Tiarranda says:
@ All:  What is that?  :: Sounds slightly panicked.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::begins working on counteracting the poison.::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Small comfort for the rest of us... 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Tiarranda:  What type of insect is that?
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: Random guess... it's not your crew.
Tiarranda says:
@ :: fearfully::  All:  I don't know I don't know... stop them please...
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@Tiarranda: What's wrong?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CTO: But it may be the reason they are dead or non-existent.
Tiarranda says:
@ CEO:  Bugs... yuck.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::takes a culture from the Ensign's wound and begins examining it under a microscope::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow at the AI’s distaste for insects::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::pulls one of her jars out and catches some for further study::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::can't help but chuckle inwardly at the idea of a machine feeling emotions... nothing like a computer with potential for mood swings::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Ensign Lald goes into a seizure.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: I assume you have control over the airlocks on this deck? ... Are there even any?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CMO*: Sir I have obtained a few samples of some type of insect and I would like you to study it to see if it is a poisonous bug.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Life in space rarely is. ::thinks of her family::
Tiarranda says:
@ CTO:  No power....
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the AT enters the engineering room, they find it full of holes.  Wiring pulled out and chewed up.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
XO: Yes ma'am.  Thank-you. ::Looks distracted in a not good way.::
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::looks at the analysis and taps her commbadge:: *CO*: I found something Captain. It's a bracelet, seems to be a simple sort of crystal, similar to earth quartz. The work is beautiful. At least it was before...I stepped on it.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Calls for the TL.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::quickly hits the Ensign with a hypo of Cyalodin
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::quickly hits the Ensign with a hypo of Cyalodin::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::blinks again as he surveys the room:: Tiarranda: Well, there's your cause for power loss.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: Do you think it belongs to any of the crew, Counselor? 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CTO/CEO: This looks like we have some type of parasite that eats certain metals and other things.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Lald's heartbeat stabilizes for a moment, then suddenly flat lines.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::glances around at the damage:: All: This is going to take a while to repair..
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@CIV: If that's the case, we should contact the ship. Five minutes ago.
Tiarranda says:
@All:  Eats?  And you let them out?  :: Panic is definitely in her voice.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Self: Damn! ::grabs the defibrillator and hits him with a jolt::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Enters the TL.:: Computer: Mess hall.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CEO: Including....... :: looses an emotion just then::  Self: Some one has died on the Shari. ::keeps it to herself::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: Somehow, I don't think us letting them out is your main concern. They got in here somehow...
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: The workmanship and size makes me think not, Captain.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Ensign Lald: Damn, kid, don't do this to me! ::hits him again with the defibrillator::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CTO: Well then I think some one should do it and have them move away from us for the moment.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CO*: Sir I suggest that you move the Shari away from us at this point in time.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::backs away from the biobed and slumps down in his chair, slowly hits his comm badge:: *CO*: Captain.....
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Further search will discover small breaches into the engine room from the outside.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@All: I'm picking up fractures in the hull over here...
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CIV*: What's going on Lt? 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CO*: We have encountered a space parasite that feeds on the metals of the hull and some of the ODN lines and the CEO is now picking up fractures of the hull at one point.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: We lost Ensign Lald, sir.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::pulls himself out of his chair and returns to the bed, starting to examine Ensign Lald further::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Arrives in the Mess hall and orders a drink.::
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: I'm sorry to hear that Doctor...I'm smelling the start of a biohazard situation though, so I expect autopsy results within the next few hours. 
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::continues to work her way around the lab while waiting for a reply, being careful to look beneath her feet::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::now completely looses any emotion or life sign of Lt. Lald::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Takes her drink to a table near a view port and sits looking out it aimlessly.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Conducting one right now sir. Cartwright out. ::closes the link::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  In the mess hall, someone is playing a lonely song that reaches out to the FCO.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: If these things are space-born, what is distance going to get us... 
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::she is continually drawn to the murals, studying several more close up::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: More time to figure out what is going on.  Anything moving must have time to get there.
Tiarranda says:
@ :: Raising her voice.::  Can you fix my engines?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::begins the autopsy and notices something instantly::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: In fact, Sir, I would suggest that we pull away with a hard turnabout.  That way if something gets caught in our wake, it will hopefully fly on past us.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::is still bothered about the insects::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::continues looking around engineering with his Sims beacon:: All: Look at this...the warp core looks exactly like the one aboard the Sharikahr.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::hits his comm badge quickly:: *CO*: Sir, we have a serious problem!
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
::looks thoughtful::  XO: Let's give the team a few more minutes, but then I want them back here.  I don't like where any of this is going and the last thing I want is split focus.  In the mean time, back us off. 
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  One of the designs seems to reach out and draw the counselor into its depth, so much so she feels as if she is really part of it.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: Get to the point Doctor. 
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: Well, I'm no engineer, but I'm going to assume half eaten whiring and insect hull fractures is not a good start to any repair effort.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Aye Sir.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Hears the music and subconsciously wonders where it is coming from.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Whatever bit Ensign Lald also infected him with a poison, that turned to acid once it mixed with his blood, sir!
Tiarranda says:
@ ::Sighs::  Can you at least give me power?  I really must get back to those who sent me.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*Away Team*: You need to move quickly.  In a few minutes you'll be recalled to the ship.  Get what information you can immediately.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
::walks over to the CTO and speaks quietly to him, as to not be heard:: CTO: Is it me, or is Tiarranda's voice coming from outside of engineering?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*XO*: Understood.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: That'll make an autopsy quite difficult...you can't study what's dissolving before your eyes.  Have there been any other reports?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CEO: You are correct in your thinking. It is coming from outside engineering.
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::turns to the CEO, and offers a reply in the same tone:: CEO: Makes sense. My guess is her connection to this compartment's been severed. See if you can't jumpstart the airlocks.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
::remembers the CNS's investigation::  CNS: What did you mean when you said the size didn't seem appropriate for the crew? 
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*CO*: Not so far, sir, but I will recommend putting everyone on high alert.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CMO*: Understood Doctor. 
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Wants silence.:: Computer: Turn music off.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Go to Red Alert, Commander. 
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@CEO: If we can force these... things... off, we might be able to accomplish something without them sending us two steps backward for each one forward.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*CMO*: Is stasis impossible to give you more time to study the body?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Aye Sir.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CTO: Aye.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
*ALL HANDS*: All Hands, Red Alert, ::taps in the order on her console:: Repeat, All Hands Red Alert.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@Tiarranda: Are there any airlocks in engineering?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::picks up a dead bug and looks at it closely::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Sorry for interrupting sir, but if that body is melting, relaying questions would have been a waste of time.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
Self: Damn.  So much for a break. ::Puts her glass in the replicator and heads back to the bridge.::
TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, and sounds the alert ship wide:: XO: All stations answering red alert, commander.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Self: Hm....... this looks like some kind of stinging insect or on that order.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
:: The CNS is drawn into a magical world. She sees a figure vaguely reminiscent of earth mythology. An animal resembling a unicorn comes up and nuzzles her::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Throughout the ship, all hands go to red alert, wondering what they are about to face.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
TO: Good, be prepared to drop shields long enough to beam the Away Team back.
Tiarranda says:
@ CEO:  No... why would there be?
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: You don't have to apologize for being on top of things Commander.   
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
*XO*: Ma'am I'm not sure if stasis will help, but I'll give it a try.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@Tiarranda: What about on this deck?
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::hears the CO's call distantly::
Tiarranda says:
@ CEO:  Well, there is one in the hold.  What is wrong?
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Tiarranda:  This insect we have found in here is ti known to you?
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: Counselor Andrews...respond. 
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Gets back to the bridge and sits at the vacant OPS station motioning for Speeda to remain at the Helm.::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: We need to know where the nearest airlock to this section is. If we can, we're going to try forcing your uninvited guests off before they make a 3-course meal out of you.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
XO: Commander what is going on?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::gathers some of his staff and orders them to move the body into stasis::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@Tiarranda: If we can do that, then getting your systems back on line *shouldn't* be too far from impossible.
Tiarranda says:
@ CTO:  Oh... thank you.  ::Relief very evident.::  The cargo bay has two doors that open out.  Will that fit what you need?
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@All: Wait a second.. ::looks at his tricorder:: I'm picking up that energy reading I found on the ship... ::follows the reading::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
MO Staff: I want to know everything you can find in regards to the wound, the poison and what is happening to his body.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::REB and follows the CEO smartly::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::goes back to the microscope to try to find a way to counteract the poison::
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::nods:: Tiarranda: Perfectly. No force field with no power... forced decompression's simple. CIV: Permission to head for the cargo bay lieutenant?
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::pulls back with amazing effort, and answers the CO a little panicked:: *CO*: Captain, were you calling me?
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@All: Here it is...
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Still feels a bit distracted but does not appear as much as before.::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CTO*: Granted but be careful.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO: Everything, there is something trying to get to the ship.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@::looking at what the CEO just found:: Outloud:  Incredible.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
*CNS*: Twice Counselor...is everything all right down there?  I was asking about something odd you mentioned...you specified the size of the bracelet you found...what was so unique about it? 
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CIV: Looks like some kind of crystal structure.. I'm picking up a life sign..
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Hits the scanners and sensors.:: XO: From where?
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::nods, and heads out in search of the cargo bay:: *Sharikahr*: Arinoch to the Sharikahr. This ship's cause for loss of power has been found. We've got bugs.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm sorry. I think I was just drawn into one of these paintings.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@:: examines it further:: CEO: Run a passive scan on it.  Tell me what you see.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Hears the word Bugs and smirks.::
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@::runs a scan::
Host NightWind says:
SCENERY:  Before the CIV and CEO is a large diamond cut crystalline feature that extends from the floor to the ceiling.  From it can be seen faint rays of light heading to various receptacles through the room.  Some however are too faint to see.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
Self: I guess we need an exterminator.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: I mean that literally, sir
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::finds the cargo bay, and makes an attempt at manually overriding the door::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::points to the view screen:: FCO: There it appears.  ::steps toward the FCO:: Amber, these things may be space borne.  When the Captain is ready, I need you to shoot us out of here then circle around sharp so whatever may follow passes us by.  Can you do that?
MO_Johnson says:
CMO: Sir, the stasis is slowing things but not stopping anything.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CTO*: Before you open those locks we have found the readings that the CEO found before.  It is a large diamond cut crystalline object from floor to ceiling.  It is emitting light.  You might want to see this for yourself.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
MO_Johnson: Thank you.
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@CIV: There's a life sign inside of the crystal structure...
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: How much longer do you want for the Away Team, Sir?
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The Cargo bay doors slowly open....
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::taps his comm badge:: *XO*: Commander, stasis is slowing the process, but not stopping it.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CO*: Sir we have found a life sign inside a crystal that the CEO picked up the signature from earlier.
Host NightWind says:
SCENERY:  Around the CTO in various secure places, are technology he has never seen, some with hence of advancement beyond him.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Shrugs her shoulders and winks at Speeda.:: XO: Sure can.  We can do any maneuver so long as those bugs don't eat our engines. ::Half laughs then prepares the requested maneuver with Speeda.::
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: As for the bracelet, the artwork is not familiar to me and I'm reasonably familiar with the art UFP members.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Give them 4 more minutes. 
Tiarranda says:
@ ALL:  Is everything all right?
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@*CIV*: I think I can beat you, lieutenant. I've never seen any of this before...
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@Tiarranda: What is this crystal here in the middle of engineering?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Understood. ::marks the time::
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  What little air remained in the ship exits into the cold of space... taking with it some pests.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
&Tiarranda: Better yet who is inside the crystal?
Tiarranda says:
@ CEO: You mean me?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::notices something as he looks at the culture and hits his comm badge:: *CO*: Captain, I can counteract the poison, but it will erase any clues to what it is we are dealing with, sir!
CEO_Ens_Rodos says:
@Tiarranda: ...excuse me? ::looks at the crystal with an odd look::
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Tiarranda: You mean you are the entity inside the crystal???
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CEO: Makes sense.
Tiarranda says:
@ CIV:  Where else did you expect me?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::hears the CMO's comm:: CO: If the Away Team can bring some of those bugs back, we may not need clues from the body.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
::looks again to the picture she was just "in" with a longing to go back, but resists:: *CO*: Captain, another thing it seems small, like it was sized for a child
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: As long as they stay in their EVA suits until medical can clear them...and we quarantine those insects... 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@Tiarranda: In our own ignorance of this system and ship we did not understand.  Now that we know who and what you are is it safe to say that you are directly linked to your ship as the ship being alive in its own right?
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
::nods at the CNS's message::  CNS: I was afraid of that...our stowaway has just made her presence known... 
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
XO: Just say the word we're ready to go.
CNS_Ens_Andrews says:
*CO*: I believe that as well sir
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Yes, sir.  I think we can find a way to contain the little buggers.
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@*CO*: Sir have you found our stowaway yet???
CTO_Ens_Arinoch says:
@::figures that's all they'll get out of those bugs leaving, and closes the door:: *CIV*: Well, we lost all the... what ever they are... that we're going to. Just isn't enough atmosphere to do the job.
CO_Capt_Mordane says:
XO: Then let's get the away team back and get us out of here. 
CIV_Lt_Rochelle says:
@CTO: Not really I have my samples remember.
