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

FCO_Soree says:
@::Hears the orders from Weaver:: COM: Triton: Acknowledged XO.

CSO_SVral says:
::on bridge at OPS trying to monitor all systems and shuttle::

FCO_Soree says:
@::Adjusts the sensors trying to get a fix on the unknown ship::

XO_Weaver says:
::Looks over toward Svral::  CSO:  What's the analysis on that shuttle?

CSO_SVral says:
XO:  Sir, sensors have detected a transport to the Triton

XO_Weaver says:
CSO:  Location?

FCO_Soree says:
@COM: Federation Ship: Beware of getting too close to the Triton.

MO_Brooks says:
::Closes the spare tricorder and sets it on the tray. Glances once about sickbay then heads out the doors and down the corridor::

CSO_SVral says:
XO: Unknown

MO_Brooks says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge.

CSO_SVral says:
::watches the shuttle recloak::  XO:  We've also lost the shuttle

Host Regin says:
<Computer> ::makes a yawning sound::  More rats in the maze  ::chuckles::

FCO_Soree says:
@::Notes the his warp core is supposedly on line; just leery of using it.::

CSO_SVral says:
XO:  I can't pinpoint the location of the transport

MO_Brooks says:
::Steps out onto the bridge and pauses in the back, listening::

CSO_SVral says:
XO:  And judging from the entity's comment, we do have guests

XO_Weaver says:
CSO:  What now?  Whoever it is must have some semblance of an idea of what's going on..

CSO_SVral says:
::tries to run a scan of internal sensors::

FCO_Soree says:
@::checks interface with the WPS and makes a decision::

MO_Brooks says:
::Almost inaudibly:: Self: Amazing... Such an aware computer.  ::Slides into the seat of an auxiliary station, resting her medkit by her feet, and watching in fascination::

XO_Weaver says:
::Nods::  COM:  FCO:  Status?

FCO_Soree says:
@::Engages the shuttle's WPS and races toward Triton::

FCO_Soree says:
@COM: Triton: Trying something XO.

Host Regin says:
<Computer> MO: I am amazing, aren't I?

FCO_Soree says:
@::Targets the Triton's phaser banks and fires::

CSO_SVral says:
::listens to the cocky computer voice::

FCO_Soree says:
@COM: Triton: Trying to knock out your phaser banks.

CSO_SVral says:
XO:  The FCO is firing at us

FCO_Soree says:
@::Now within 50,000 meters of Triton::

XO_Weaver says:
::Feels the ship being nudged a bit::  COM: FCO:  Be careful;  if you detect any of our weapons powering up, get back to a safe distance.

FCO_Soree says:
@COM: Triton: Ackno... incoming torpedo...

Host Regin says:
ACTION: A torpedo launches at the unshielded shuttle, destroying it in one hit

MO_Brooks says:
::Nearly unfazed:: Computer: I must say so, yes.  And quite interesting.  Still an enigma...which is rather rare anymore.  ::Hopefully quietly enough the rest of the crew wouldn't be listening in::

Host Regin says:
ACTION: Moments later, the FCO materializes on the bridge

CSO_SVral says:
FCO:  good timing Soree

XO_Weaver says:
::Notices Brooks::  MO:  Since you're here --  ::Sees the FCO appear::  FCO:  What happened?

FCO_Soree says:
::Stands on bridge shuddering with blank face::

FCO_Soree says:
XO: Messed up sir.  Thought you had disabled the torpedoes.

CSO_SVral says:
::sees the expression of the canine::

XO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Thought I had, too.  ::Checks tactical again::

FCO_Soree says:
::Brushes some debris from his shoulder:: All: That was too close.

Host Regin says:
<Computer> All: Can you really trust your sensors?

XO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Entirely.  ::Continues to completely ignore the computer voice::

MO_Brooks says:
::Stands up with her kit and tricorder and strides across the bridge to Soree's side, beginning scans::

FCO_Soree says:
Mutters: If you had physically removed them from the launchers then it wouldn't have happened. :: Moves to his empty helm chair.::

Host Regin says:
<Computer> All: Maybe you can't even trust the equipment around you

CSO_SVral says:
::looks back at the FCO with a look of concern::

FCO_Soree says:
XO: Got the message sent out; Starfleet should have all the data on recent actions.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: A tool the CSO had been using explodes next to him

CSO_SVral says:
::grasps shoulder then falls to the floor hitting head on console::

XO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Well, that much -- ::Shudders again as he hears a small explosion not too far from him::

FCO_Soree says:
::Looks over at the Science console to see SVral falling to deck::

XO_Weaver says:
::Closes his eyes a moment and sighs::  MO:  Brooks...  ::Motions to the CSO::

MO_Brooks says:
::Taps the tricorder once more, then nods to the FCO who most likely wasn't even aware he was scanned, and heads back to her station, flipping the tricorder closed::

FCO_Soree says:
::Hears the MO's tricorder click shut and then watches her move to SVral::

MO_Brooks says:
::Nods slightly, already veered off toward the science station. Kneels by SVral and helps him into a sitting position::

XO_Weaver says:
::Returns "helm control", if it even controls the helm, to it's proper station::

FCO_Soree says:
::Sits and attempts to engage helm control::

FCO_Soree says:
::Looks at Weaver and shakes his head no::

CSO_SVral says:
:: head slumps over out cold::

MO_Brooks says:
CSO: Still here?  ::Reopens her tricorder and activates it with her thumb::

Host Regin says:
<Computer> All: Now to get rid of some of this excess baggage...

FCO_Soree says:
COMPUTER: How many of the Triton's crew are still aboard and functioning?

CSO_SVral says:
::breathing slows to a catatonic state::

MO_Brooks says:
::Stares at the tricorder a moment, then sets it down and pulls a hypospray out of her medkit, loading it with Impedrazine.  Dials a dosage and administers it to SVral::

Host Regin says:
<Computer> FCO: Find out for yourself

FCO_Soree says:
XO: Airlock just opened on deck 6... looks like 10 crew sucked out from reports.

FCO_Soree says:
Self: Stupid me... like I'd trust the answer anyway.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: A crewman on the bridge looks around, confused, as a transporter gets a hold of him

FCO_Soree says:
::Gestures at the console:: XO: Can't trust these readings anyway... and that... ::points around:: thing can mess with the comm.

XO_Weaver says:
::Just shakes his head::  FCO:  I know..I'm at a complete loss.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: The crewman dematerializes, then rematerializes moments later - as dust on the floor

MO_Brooks says:
::References the tricorder again, then closes it:: XO: He's unconscious with a mild concussion.  He--::Pauses mid-word at the materialization::

FCO_Soree says:
::Eyes widen as the dust settles::

FCO_Soree says:
::puts arms up in a defensive pose as he stands:: Computer: Just come out and fight you spineless piece of Selay slime.

MO_Brooks says:
::Stunned still:: Self/Computer: ...Trying to prove some point, accomplish some objective, or just see how many ways you can obliterate innocents?

FCO_Soree says:
::Claws extended from the hairy fists::

FCO_Soree says:
::Snarls and slowly spins around looking for something to attack::

MO_Brooks says:
Self: Absolutely senseless...utterly senseless... ::Stiffly places each item back into her medkit, muttering to herself::

Miaek says:
::walks out of the TL on to the bridge and begins firing a phaser at all the comm pickups::

Miaek says:
ALL:  Please remove your comm badges

MO_Brooks says:
::Decides it's likely safer to leave SVral on the bridge than attempt to move him anywhere::

Miaek says:
ALL:  And the crush them with your feet

FCO_Soree says:
::Jumps in surprise at the stranger coming off the turbolift and moves slowly toward him with claws extended::

MO_Brooks says:
::Turns around to see an unfamiliar officer, and glances to Weaver questioningly::

XO_Weaver says:
::Eyes wide, didn't get a good look...but knows the voice.  Does as asked, tossing his comm badge to the ground and stomping it::  Miaek:  You were the one that beamed aboard.

Miaek says:
XO:  Good to see you again;  I have another doing the same around the ship

XO_Weaver says:
All:  Do as he says.

FCO_Soree says:
::Halts at the XO's command; snarls at the stranger::

FCO_Soree says:
::Slowly takes comm badge off and tosses it to the deck behind him::

MO_Brooks says:
::Removes her commbadge and sets it on the deck, then stamps her medkit on it::

Miaek says:
::sees the beastly officer and smirks at him and then goes about his business::

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  What in the heck are you doing here?

Miaek says:
XO:  Long story, no time to share

Miaek says:
XO:  You are safe to talk freely now, he can't hear us

FCO_Soree says:
::Stands stock still, low rumbling coming from his throat, arms down fists curled tightly::

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  Of course.  ::Half-smiles::  ..You seem to know exactly what you're doing;  any suggestions?

Miaek says:
::looks at the canine officer:: FCO:  Down boy

FCO_Soree says:
::Slowly backs to the helm console::

MO_Brooks says:
::Sweeps up the remnants of her commbadge into her hand and dusts it into her medkit, then busily latches it closed and heads back to her station, not quite focused on the bizarre scene::

FCO_Soree says:
::Plops down in chair as though resigned to his fate::

Miaek says:
XO:  Can we talk in private?

FCO_Soree says:
::Grabs the phaser hidden under console, turns and fires at Miaek; maximum stun setting::

Miaek says:
::falls to the ground::

XO_Weaver says:
::Pulls his own phaser, just in case::  FCO:  Put that phaser down!  What are you thinking?!

MO_Brooks says:
::Silent for a moment at the flash of energy, then desperately tries to holds down a giggle struggling to her mouth::

FCO_Soree says:
XO: Thinking to win human. ::Points to the fallen stranger::

Miaek says:
::looks up and falls unconscious::

FCO_Soree says:
::Races over to Miaek and takes his phaser::

MO_Brooks says:
::Presses her lips together hard, and rushes to Miaek's side with her medkit, unlatching it as she goes::

XO_Weaver says:
::Narrows his eyes, even more deadpan that before::  MO:  Brooks..get him up ASAP.

FCO_Soree says:
::Presents the phaser to Weaver:: XO: He's all yours now...sir. ::goes to helm and sits::

MO_Brooks says:
::Loads and dials a dosage of Tricordrazine and administers it:: XO: He should.. ::Swallows:: He should come around any moment.

XO_Weaver says:
FCO:  Not to criticize, but stunning allies isn't any way to get this done.

FCO_Soree says:
XO: Ally? With a phaser aimed at us and destroying the comm badges?  Odd friends you have sir.

XO_Weaver says:
::Grins a bit::  FCO:  No one ever said Miaek Xander wasn't odd.

Miaek says:
::opens eyes and sees the MO::  XO:  Have the doctors gotten more beautiful or was it the stun?

MO_Brooks says:
::With a stormcloud expression, snatches her medkit and flies back to her station, returning to the task of trying to retrieve any information on the status of sickbay::

Miaek says:
::stands up slowly::  MO:  Hope it wasn't something I said.  

FCO_Soree says:
::Aims his phaser in general direction of Miaek::

Miaek says:
XO:  Shall we talk in the ready room?  ::walks toward the RR and punches the FCO in the face while passing by::

FCO_Soree says:
::Recoils from punch and rakes his claws across Miaek's back in return::

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  Now that was a bit uncalled for..  ::Glares, stepping between them::  Enough!  Both of you!

FCO_Soree says:
::Snarls at both XO and the stranger, then backs off::

Miaek says:
::watches the FCO back off::  FCO:  Good boy, not your time yet

FCO_Soree says:
Miaek: Nor yours... dinner is yet to be served.

XO_Weaver says:
::Points to the RR, giving Miaek a stern look::  ::Looks over his shoulder::  FCO:  You have the bridge, for what it's worth.  Any more nonsense and I have your Antican hide.  ::Storms into the RR::

Miaek says:
::walks thru the RR door::

Miaek says:
XO:  You mind destroying the computer listening devices?

FCO_Soree says:
::Looks over at MO Brooks and shrugs::

MO_Brooks says:
::Once she's heard the readyroom doors close, spins her chair around and looks at the FCO, now the ranking officer on the bridge::

FCO_Soree says:
MO: ::Nods at SVral:: How's he doing?

MO_Brooks says:
::Nearly comments, but holds her tongue. Follows his look to the Caitian:: FCO: He's stable.

FCO_Soree says:
MO: Good... I like the cat.

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  My pleasure.  ::Pulls his phaser and hits the first couple, then has to take a couple shots before knocking out the third::  Self:  My aim is a bit rusty.

FCO_Soree says:
Self: Finally in charge of a starship and the silly thing won't respond to me.  ::gives a throaty chuckle::

Miaek says:
XO:  What I tell you never leaves this room

XO_Weaver says:
::Puts his phaser away::  Miaek:  Of course not..

MO_Brooks says:
FCO: ... Sickbay's resources may be needed to safely bring him back to consciousness, though.  ::Clearly not very confidents in transporters, turbolifts, or communications at the moment::

FCO_Soree says:
MO: Get some of your aides with an anti-grav lift to haul him down?

Miaek says:
XO:  We suspect the Shadowman has been on the Triton for sometime

Miaek says:
XO:  Sort of sleeping, waiting to make his mark

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  I don't doubt it;  perhaps even since the bridge module was installed, or before.  I hadn't had a chance to talk to Jarek --  waitta minute, "we"?

Miaek says:
XO:  That's another story for another time

XO_Weaver says:
::Rolls his eyes a bit::  Miaek:  Of course.  ::Half-smiles::  So what do you intend to do about him?

MO_Brooks says:
::Fishes her demolished commbadge out of her medkit and holds it up for Soree to see::

FCO_Soree says:
Self: ::mutters:: Just put some catnip under his nose, he'll come around. ::smiles::

Miaek says:
XO:  We know he's trapped in the Computer core with full control

Miaek says:
XO:  you have one option, that is to destroy the core

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  When you say he's trapped in the core..you mean, actually, inside the core?  ::Raises an eyebrow::

Miaek says:
XO:  he's a creature of power, he feeds off the energy

FCO_Soree says:
::Picks up his undamaged comm badge and hands it to MO::

MO_Brooks says:
::Holds the commbadge in her palm a moment, considering it carefully, then lets it slip from her hand and grinds her heel upon it:: FCO: No thank you.  ::Turns back to her station, in thought::

FCO_Soree says:
MO: What the... are you crazy woman?

MO_Brooks says:
::With a hint of a smile, though she's facing the console:: FCO: ...Some have said that, yes...  ::Stands up from her console and walks to the turbolift:: FCO: I'll go to sickbay myself to get the anti-grav lift.

FCO_Soree says:
MO: With that kind of "help" I doubt SVral is safe in your hands. ::Moves to stand over SVral::

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  Then what's the game plan?  He's not just going to let us waltz into the core room and start phasering it up..

Miaek says:
XO:  That's why there is another onboard taking care of that problem

MO_Brooks says:
::Turns around and stares at Soree with a level gaze for several moments, then turns back and enters the turbolift:: Turbolift:: Sickbay please.

FCO_Soree says:
::Shakes head and looks down at SVral::

XO_Weaver says:
Miaek:  How much longer until that problem is solved?

Miaek says:
::looks down at a device on wrist::  XO:  I will know when it is safe to proceed

FCO_Soree says:
::Straightens and looks around at the empty bridge::
