CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: Unfortunately his moments of clear speech were short.

Host Holitarn says:
::looks at the CO, apprehensive about his request::

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: I have been monitoring power losses with each cycle.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: And what have you found?

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: I assume you want our help.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Each time the cycle occurs we have a power loss at .273%.

CEO_Keorn says:
::each "repair team" had a security member in it::

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: Ah.

Host Holitarn says:
::sighs:: CO: As I told you Captain, we have been developing an end to a war that has gone on for 18 years...

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Mr. Thomas, I see you have hidden talents.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: So they are feeding off of us?

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Each time the cycle decreases in time our power loss increases.

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: How did you intend to end this war?

Althenrat says:
@::Glances over at the EPO:: Duefuss: Actually, yes. In order to correct the malfunction here, I will need basic schematics for your warp core. ::Grins:: It's been a while since I've worked with something... Excuse me, but primitive is the word I’d use to best describe. We used a similar design a number of years back!

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks up:: XO: Hidden?

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Possible.

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: Has he mentioned anything about his time on the Scimitar?

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: However I would say more like draining us.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: When last we met you were Chief Tactical Officer...You have since then become OPS.

Host Holitarn says:
CO: We've been building something that would do so for 15 years.  We were ready to test it, then you arrive and destroy it.  Amazingly enough, we're in a mutual position of need.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::Smiles::

CIV_Knote says:
Self: ::Mutters:: Just what I need, a Klingon that doesn't brag.

EO_Porter says:

XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Mr. Nash our status?

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: He mentioned something about a time during an attack by pirates.  He said that this room was a bit small and needed to be expanded.

Althenrat says:
@::Waits patiently, attempting to recall the specifications for such a warp core design::

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: Indeed we are... But I need to know how this would end your war...

CSO_Nash says:
XO: All is well.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: See if you can determine how they are tapping into our power.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CIV_Knote says:
::Makes notes:: CDT: Pirates? Did he mention who, or when?

CSO_Nash says:
XO:  Systems running at nominal levels for the power that we have, sir.

Host Holitarn says:
::shakes head:: CO: I hate to ask you about this... But your ship has the tactical capabilities of near exactly what we need.  We've been so peaceful for so long.  Large-scale weapons such as these were never fully invented.  Your civilization has apparently been through much more.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Permission to run a full scan of their vessel.

XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Excellent.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: Try and hide it in a radiation wave or something.

EO_Porter says:
::begins repairing a faulty power transfer conduit::

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: Sir I believe we have a small issue, I am having the FCO run some "hidden" scans.

Glax says:
::comes to in Sick Bay...head feeling like a bee hive::

Host CO_Winters says:

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: I believe I have found something.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Issues...explain.

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: Only that it was during the time when he was just making the transition from CDT to ENS.

EO_Porter says:
Althenrat: How are you doing? I'm EO Porter. I don't believe we've met.

Althenrat says:
@::Whistles merrily, running his tricorder over the warp core:: Self: Yes, hmm, yes... This will act as a nice, if temporary, replacement.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: It appears that the alien vessel is drawing power from us.  I can't tell what method they are using but the evidence is there.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir I think I have found something.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Report.

CEO_Keorn says:
::transfers data on power fluctuations to XO station::

Althenrat says:
@::Jumpily acknowledges the EO:: Porter: No, I don't believe so. My name's Althenrat, I'm Senior Engineer of the Research Complex 16.

Host Holitarn says:
CO: Needless to say, your ship could be a nice replacement for our tactical emplacement device... if only for just the one single ambush we need.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: The alien vessel has been running a low level scan of engineering since we met.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Is it an authorized power transfer?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: here it comes ::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: No sir, we had no knowledge of it.

Glax says:
::gets up and heads in the direction of the door::

EO_Porter says:
::smiles:: Althenrat: What exactly is that little device?

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: I have sensors checking for any drainage from it now.

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: I see. ::Makes notes to research that time frame::

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: Our Prime Directive forbids us to get involved in your conflict.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Keep me informed.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Brings up a Tactical map of the area.::

Althenrat says:
@Porter: Basically, it'll act as a replacement power source for your "dilithium crystals."

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: And your impression of him?

Glax says:
::thinks of Jota::

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Narrows sensor beam to Alien ship::

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Acknowledge.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Have you informed the Captain?

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the alien ship on sensors::

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: He is not like I expected him to be.

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: Oh? And just what did you expect?

Glax says:
Self: How long have I been out? ::keeps wondering...mumbling it::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: We only made the connection as he was entering the ready room.

Althenrat says:
Porter: We call it a "plasma conditioner." It intakes plasma, conditions it through a series of procedures designed to weaken the energy, and feeds it through a series of ODM power connection lines.

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: Quite a few years travel I am afraid.  But the prime directive still applies.  It is the cardinal rule that we must follow.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Acknowledge.

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: The usual boisterous and loud, "do it or I'll beat you", you know the way most Klingons are.

Althenrat says:
@::Runs a small energy tool of the computer console, keying something into the controls::

FCO_Jarek says:

EO_Porter says:
::Admires the complex little device:: That's quite a task for it's small size. How does it compensate for plasma flow irregularities?

CEO_Keorn says:

XO_Avaj says:
*CO* Captain, we are being scanned by an alien vessel...they are draining power from engineering.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: We can send it a little feed back to find out.

Althenrat says:
Porter: A series of procedures designed specifically to condition the plasma, hence the name "plasma conditioner." ::Nods and smiles:: I have the specifications, here, if you would like to review them...?

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: Only if the XO approves.

CEO_Keorn says:

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: Set it up in case we need to use it.

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: So he comes across as a "reluctant" Klingon? ::almost laughs::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Power levels have lowered a bit, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: It'll take a few moments sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
*CO* I have EO Porter overseeing things, do you want me down there?

XO_Avaj says:
OPS, FCO: Acknowledge.

Althenrat says:
Porter: Can you do me a favor and run a secondary diagnostic protocol on energy outputs for your warp core?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Yes, find out where the power is being drained from and report.

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: I guess you could say that.

Glax says:
::feels strange all of a sudden.....struggling to get to the TL::

CEO_Keorn says:
*CO* Aye sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
*Bridge* What is the location of that vessel?  Send the scan specs to my ready room.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: Ill leave it to you if it needs to be used.

EO_Porter says:
Althenrat: Sure, I'll look at them later on, but it's probably too advanced for me. You should show them to the CEO. He might understand them better. I'll get right on that diagnostic.

XO_Avaj says:
*CO* Aye, sir.

Host Holitarn says:

@::Glances up from his work and sees another man standing several feet away. Nods to him in greeting::

FCO_Jarek says:
*CO* The coordinates of the alien ship are 327.34 mark 16.

EO_Porter says:
Altenrat and CEO: Power levels are normal so far. The device seems to be working perfectly.

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: Do you think Lt. Keorn would mind talking to me?

CEO_Keorn says:
::steps over to EO and towers over alien::

Althenrat says:
::Nods to the CEO in a friendly way:: CEO: 'Ello.

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote I don't see why not.

CIV_Knote says:
::Tries to ease toward the EO::

FCO_Jarek says:
*CO* The coordinates of the alien ship are 327.34 Mark 16.

Host CO_Winters says:
*Ops* Direct sensor scans and relay data.

Althenrat says:
::Blinks at the Civilian, eyeing him curiously::

CEO_Keorn says:
Althenrat: Hello.  :: looking over his shoulder at the device in his hands::

CIV_Knote says:
CDT: I certainly thank you for your time.  Think I'll wander around a bit.

OPS_Thomas says:
*CO* Aye sir.  ::Begins scans::

CEO_Keorn says:
<CDT> Knote: Alright.

Glax says:
::enters engineering after a short ride in the TL::

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: Lets figure out what is going on with this power drain before we continue.  See if you recognize this ship. :: brings up sensor data on his terminal and turns it to face Holitarn ::

CIV_Knote says:
::Begins moving to where the EO is standing::

EO_Porter says:
CEO: That plasma conditioner is quite a device, sir. It's amazing.

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks up and sees Glax enter Engineering:: Self: Oh no.

Host Holitarn says:
::lip quivers:: CO: Captain I plead to you.  From all 17 of my family members, from over 279 billion people who have died for our right to survive, I plead to you. ::starts breaking down::  You cannot possibly be a man of all stoic business.  I have devoted my life to ending the bloodshed, hoping for the ability to save families from being shattered like mine was.  I had that opportunity, it was destroyed, and now I have the ability again. Captain.

Glax says:
::walks in and heads for a panel...ignoring everyone::

CEO_Keorn says:
Althenrat: I would very much like to see the specs on it.  ::trying to keep "Klingon" face on::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Power drain increasing, now .475%.

Althenrat says:
CEO: Of course, here. ::Hands him a PADD:: I've uploaded the specs here.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the FCO::

CIV_Knote says:
::Reaches out to tap EO on the shoulder and points to Glax::

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Do we have impulse engines?

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Raises eyebrow at OPS::

Host Holitarn says:
::face flushes as he sees the picture:: CO: That's one of our high-speed cruisers.  They want your help Captain.  We all want your help.

CIV_Knote says:
EO: Uh, should he be doing that?

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye sir.

CIV_Knote says:
::Moves toward Glax::

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: You must order them to stop.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Plot a course away from the vessel and wait for my order.

EO_Porter says:
::notices Glax:: Knote: No, he shouldn't.

CEO_Keorn says:
::looks over at monitors which are watching each of the repair crews::

Host CO_Winters says:
*Ops* Hail that ship and patch it through.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye sir, course laid in.

Host Holitarn says:
::recomposes himself... looks towards the terminal on the desk::

Glax says:
::opens it...reaches in his mouth...removing the implanted device and locks it on a critical system...closes the panel and walks off::

OPS_Thomas says:
*CO* Aye sir.  ::Opens a channel::

CIV_Knote says:
::Arrives behind Glax:: Glax: Just what are you doing?

CIV_Knote says:
EO: He put something in that panel. ::points::

Glax says:
::ignores Jota...pushes him hard...::

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Acknowledge.  Be prepared to engage at a moment’s notice.

CIV_Knote says:
::Staggers back::

CEO_Keorn says:
::hears EO's voice and turns around::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host Holitarn says:
<Computer with device> ::backfires and sends a power surge into the device::

EO_Porter says:
::catches Knote:: Glax: Hey!

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: As the device overloads with power, it sends a high-frequency feedback signal to some other implant in Glax, electrocuting him violently from the inside out.

CEO_Keorn says:
Computer: Computer erect a level 10 force field around Mr. Glax and maintain his current position.

XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Attempt to ascertain what it is the vessel is looking for or why it is draining our power.

OPS_Thomas says:
<Security> ::Sees Glax:: Self: Here we go again.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Power increase on Alien vessel sir.

CIV_Knote says:
::Jumps as Glax is fried::

Glax says:
::jumps in a major convulsion sequence::

CIV_Knote says:
ALL: What the ...?

Host Holitarn says:
::types out a message to the ship... data only.... that's the only way he trusts the military::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Power surge in ME.  One casualty.

CEO_Keorn says:
*Sec* Security to ME.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans alien vessel to find some reason for the power drain besides the obvious::

CIV_Knote says:
::Sees Glax crumple to the deck::

Glax says:
::looks up at Jota for the last time....and closes his eyes::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Elaborate, Mr. Thomas.

CIV_Knote says:
::shakes head::

OPS_Thomas says:
<Security> CEO: Right here sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
*SB* Medical emergency in ME.

EO_Porter says:
*Sickbay* We need a medic in M.E.

CIV_Knote says:
CEO/EO: I think it's too late.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Seems like Glax tried to mess with a circuit panel.

Host CO_Winters says:
*Ops* Has the power drain stopped?

CEO_Keorn says:
Sec: Please take Mr. Glax into custody and wait for the medial team to arrive, don't let him be alone.

CIV_Knote says:
::Stands there shaking::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: And?

CIV_Knote says:
CEO: What could he have been doing?

OPS_Thomas says:
<Sec> ::Stands by Glax::

Host Holitarn says:
::gets a response back... knew that he would get that answer:: CO: Captain, they will not stand down.  They're drained of power and unfortunately this is their only source. As I am in the civilian service branch they will not listen to me.

Althenrat says:
@::Finishes the final sequence of complex equations and number sequences:: ALL: I believe your warp core is ready to be powered up! ::Excitedly::

EO_Porter says:
::muttering to himself:: What has he doing?

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: He was electrocuted in the process.

CEO_Keorn says:
CIV: I am not sure if anything of the device survived I will have to study it.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Power drain continues sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO* Yellow Alert. Raise Shields.

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods in understanding, still shaky::

OPS_Thomas says:
*CO* Still going sir.

CIV_Knote says:
CEO: Not a good way to go.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: They are low on power and are using us to keep their power levels up.

XO_Avaj says:
*CO* Aye, sir.  OPS: Yellow alert.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Hits Yellow Alert::

CEO_Keorn says:
CIV: He shall be among the dishonored dead.

Host CO_Winters says:
Holitarn: We will continue this conversation later.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: walks out onto bridge ::

EO_Porter says:
Althenrat: Ready to power up? That was quick. Nice job!

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Raise shields.

CIV_Knote says:
CEO: Yeah, right. Self: Like all drunks.

Host Holitarn says:
::sighs... slumps head again::

CEO_Keorn says:
::notices the warning lights and moves to panel to route all available power to defensive systems::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Raises shields::

XO_Avaj says:
*ME* Report.

Althenrat says:
Porter: Entirely my enjoyment! I must admit, I’ve never had the pleasure of working with such technology!

XO_Avaj says:
CO: We have a course away from the vessel plotted and ready, sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: What effect is that power drain having on our systems?

OPS_Thomas says:
<Sec> ::Looks down at the burned body of Glax and almost vomits::

CIV_Knote says:
::Bides his time to ask Keorn for an interview::

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at XO and raises eyebrow::

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* Sir our friend states that the warp core is ready to be brought back online, I would like to have a chance to inspect the casing before we engage it.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: We shouldn't need that.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: They've been increasing the power drain sir, it's affecting everything.

EO_Porter says:
*XO* The warp core is ready to be powered up.

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Make it quick, we may need warp drive soon.

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* Aye.

CSO_Nash says:
::notices that all power levels have returned to nominal status::

XO_Avaj says:
*CEO* Report on Glax.

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks around Engineering some more realizing that he hasn't spent much time here::

CEO_Keorn says:
::begins scans of warp core looking for possible defects::

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Hail them.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: EO Porter's analysis confirmed.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Opens a channel::

XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* He appears to be dead, I am having security monitor him incase it is some kind of ruse.

EO_Porter says:
::picks up a tricorder and joins in the scanning of the core::

CIV_Knote says:
Self: The heart of the ship.  Wonder if I can use that line again in the next article.

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Keeps looking for a way home::

CSO_Nash says:
::brings sensors online and begins intensive scans of the alien ship::

Host CO_Winters says:
Comm: Cruiser: Why have you tapped into our power resources?

XO_Avaj says:
*CEO* Acknowledge.  Keep me informed.

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* Aye.

OPS_Thomas says:
<Med> ::Enters ME with an anti-grav biobed:: CEO: ::Points:: Is that him sir?

CEO_Keorn says:
::waves to SEC ::

CIV_Knote says:
::Wonders why Glax is left there on the deck and not taken to sickbay::

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Engage the warp core if the reaction chamber is sealed tight.

CEO_Keorn says:
SEC: help him but be alert.

OPS_Thomas says:
<Sec> ::Sees the CEO:: CEO: Yes sir?

CEO_Keorn says:
*CO* Aye.

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: After a few more scans, the CEO and EO power the core, as the conditioner is self-sealed.  It buzzes and sparkles with an interesting reaction... but all goes well.  Main power comes back.

CEO_Keorn says:
*CO* Main power back online sir

Host CO_Winters says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.
