CNS_Jalara says:
::Lays on a bed in sickbay::

FCO_Doole says:
::working at helm::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: in sickbay with Jalara who is ready to leave sickbay ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::at ops, looking over reports::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::On the bridge, at Science station , scanning on long range sensors::

Host CO_Alar says:
Doole: ETA to the Penthil system?

CNS_Jalara says:
::Sits up slowly::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Jalara: how are you feeling?

CNS_Jalara says:
Xenobia:  Better.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: reads vitals...all looks good::

TO_Wakefield says:
::at tactical running diagnostic on phaser array::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Jalara:  good...that's a good sign

CNS_Jalara says:
Xenobia:  Not that I don't love staying in sickbay, but am I free to return to duty?

FCO_Doole says:
CO: At present speed, 20  minutes

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: I've been following the progress of your training of the security crewmen...good work so far.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Jalara:  I don't see why not, just take it easy, okay?

OPS-VonKruger says:
:monitoring comm channels::

CNS_Jalara says:
Xenobia:  I understand.  Thank you.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Jalara: and if you feel the need, come back and see us.  I'll check on you later!

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  Thanks Sam.  I think they just lost their focus.  But they'll be ready in a month just like I said.

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Anything on sensors?

CNS_Jalara says:
::Gets up and walks out of sickbay and enters turbo lift::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: smiles at Jalara ::

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: Excellent.

CNS_Jalara says:
Computer:  Bridge.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::looks at panel::Ma'am, nothing unusual to report at this time.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::charts the system for stellar cartography::

CNS_Jalara says:
::Steps off the turbolift and enters the bridge::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All doctors:  let's get this sickbay in ship shape folks...you never know when an inspection will happen!

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::brings up navigational sensors, everything seems normal::

CTO_Kelson says:
::smiles, glad to see Jalara back at post::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: starts looking over medical supplies and inventories ::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Dr Aola:  please run diagnostics on all the equipment

TO_Wakefield says:
::notices CNS as she enters the bridge::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::notices stellar phenomena::Captain, I just picked up a stellar phenomena.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: We have jumped 20 minutes into the system.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::attention solely on sensors::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: Dr Aola nods and begins running diagnostics

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Specify.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: Now entering the system

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries scanning the center of the system::

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, I have never seen anything like this before.

TO_Wakefield says:
::finishes diagnostic of phaser banks::  CTO:  Our phaser array looks good Sam.  They’re ready to go if necessary.

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Please elaborate.

CNS_Jalara says:
::Sits to the left of the CO::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Dr Lau:  please take over inventory and supplies

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: I ran a system wide diagnostic this week.  Rumor is an inspection is imminent.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: Dr Lau nods acknowledgment ::

Host CO_Alar says:
::drums her fingertips on her armrests, impatient::

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  Indeed?  Well, I was thinking about having my training team scrub out the photon torpedo tubes with a tooth brush...

CNS_Jalara says:
::Notices the Captain's impatience::

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: Other than the crewmen under training, the rest of security is ready don't you think.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::checking computer records::Ma'am, it is made up of some unknown matter.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: watches as medical staff runs diagnostics, and checks inventory and supplies ::

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Go on.

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: ...without their toothbrushes? ::Smiles::

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  Absolutely.  I don't think we have anything to worry about.

FCO_Doole says:
::senses impatience from the CO::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: enters office to look at information on the Penthil System ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, I can't tell if it is living or not.

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Is it a threat?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Computer:  bring up all information on the Penthil System

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, at this time, being unknown, it is a possibility

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Something else shows up on the scanners- it's large, missile-shaped....almost like a vessel.

CTO_Kelson says:
::checks sensors for signs of threat::

TO_Wakefield says:
CTO:  You see that Sam?

CNS_Jalara says:
All:  What is that thing?

CTO_Kelson says:
CO:  Captain, vessel directly in front of us.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
<Computer> :  uncharted, unusual radiation emanates from the center of the this system.  It is not considered to be dangerous

CTO_Kelson says:
TO: ::nods::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::modifies sensors to better scan the object::

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Identify.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: thinks to herself about this information ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am there is a new vessel .

TO_Wakefield says:
::scans alien vessel::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: It seems to be a vessel of some kind.  ::checks scanners::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: No record of it on file.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Shall I raise shields?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Dr. Aola : how is our supply of Hyronalin?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:My sensors are showing it to be..covered in organic matter..muscle perhaps.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
<Dr. Aola> : we are adequately supplied

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Not yet....can you tell me anything about it/

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Dr. Aola:  Thank you

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to scan inside the ship::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Wait a sec...Something in the record...yes, the USS Avalon detected a similar ship.

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I'm not detecting any known weapons or defensive capabilities.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The scans read that it is nothing more than an amalgamation of organic materials.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::looking at monitor, running scans, listening on subspace::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All Doctors:  the information that is known on this system is that it is uncharted and that unusual radiation emanates from the center of this system.  Be prepared, doctors.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO:  Scans show not much left of it.

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Compare it to the vessel encountered by the Avalon.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I'm reading several lifesigns, but they vary.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: They are similar.  Not much difference at all.

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, shall I try hailing them?

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: the Vesuvius is scanned by the other vessel.

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  We are being scanned.

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: Attempt a hail.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: I would like to raise shields as a precaution.

TO_Wakefield says:
::checks phaser in his holster, sets to level three stun::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::Opens hailing channel::

Host CO_Alar says:
Kelson: Just a moment- their intentions may not be hostile. Is that mentioned in the Avalon's report?

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, it kind of looks like a tin man.

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  If we raised shields it could be seen as a hostile act.

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I agree with Jalara.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: No report of hostility.

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am, channel open.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: monitors bridge activity ::

Host CO_Alar says:
<Vessel>This is the Federation Starship Vesuvius. Please respond.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO:  Except for after being scanned.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::scans the rest of space for similar ships::

Host CO_Alar says:
Von Kruger: You mean the Tin Man piloted by Tam Elbrun?

OPS-VonKruger says:
Yes ma'am,

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::takes a deep breath::

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: The Avalon traded a few blows with it but was able to come out okay.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: walks out of office ::  Dr. Aola: let's get a couple of hypos of Hyronalin ready.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: there is no response.

CTO_Kelson says:
CO: Under these circumstances, I think we should raise shields.

CNS_Jalara says:
::Turns to look at Lorenzo::

OPS-VonKruger says:
Ma'am No response

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: Dr. Aola nods and turns to ready the hypos ::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:: Captain, I must disagree with Kelson.  We have no idea what their intent is.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Kelson, Royce, Von Kruger and Doole are beamed off the Vesuvius.

TO_Wakefield says:
::looks over at the CSO::

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: Where are they?

CNS_Jalara says:
::Eyes widen in surprise::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::quickly scans the other vessel for signs of the missing crewmen::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
*Kelson*:  Dr Aola her, Dr Royce is gone

TO_Wakefield says:
::scans::  CO:One second Captain.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
<here>

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  They're onboard the alien vessel Captain.

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo: How many are missing?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
* CO * :  Dr. Royce is gone.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:Four Captain.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
* CO * :  Dr. Aola here, Dr. Royce is gone.

CTO_Kelson says:
::appears on alien vessel::

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: Can you beam them out?

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I am scanning them on the other ship.

Host CO_Alar says:
*Aola* Acknowledge.

Host CO_Alar says:
<Acknowledged.>

OPS-VonKruger says:
::taps comm badge::@Vesuvius

CTO_Kelson says:
::looks around and sees Doole, Royce, and Von Kruger::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  I can sense them pretty clearly.

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Attempting to Captain.  ::tries to lock on to crew members::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: There are no communications coming from the alien vessel.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: materializes somewhere unknown, sees Doole, Von Kruger and Kelson ::   All : where are we?

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: Lieutenant, can you see this?

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I can't establish a lock Captain.  Some sort of energy field thrown up by the vessel.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  what am I supposed to be looking at?

OPS-VonKruger says:
::sees Kelson, Xenobia::

CTO_Kelson says:
MO:  The surroundings...and just the 4 of us.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: takes out pocket tricorder, scans the others ::

TO_Wakefield says:
::tries to break through energy field::  CO:  Attempting to compensate.

FCO_Doole says:
MO: I do not know

CTO_Kelson says:
MO:  I think we've been transported to the alien vessel.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::continues scanning the vessel, and studying the shields::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: scans reveal the four are okay ::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  well, at least we're okay...vitals on all of us are good

FCO_Doole says:
::takes out special tricorder that is always kept on belt of uniform::

CTO_Kelson says:
OPS:  Von Kruger, you okay?

OPS-VonKruger says:
::walks over to group::

OPS-VonKruger says:
CTO:Yes and you guys?

FCO_Doole says:
MO: Maybe my special tricorder will tell us something.

CNS_Jalara says:
Wakefield:  If we can't beam them out, could we beam someone else over?

TO_Wakefield says:
*ENG*:  Engine Room, I need more power to the transporter system.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  so where should we go from here?

CTO_Kelson ::tries commbadge:: (#.wav)

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: I'm not able to hail the Vesuvius.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: As the hostages look around, they see pulsing walls glistening with some sort of mucus.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  do you hear that?

TO_Wakefield says:
CNS:  I'm not willing to send anyone else over there yet Counselor.  Not until we know what we're dealing with.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::hears gurgling:: All:what's that?

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL:  that can't be good...

CNS_Jalara says:
TO:  I was just wondering.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: runs tricorder around in the air taking reading ::

Host CO_Alar says:
Crew: Find a way to get them back. I don't care how you do it....just do it.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  your special tricorder picking anything up?

TO_Wakefield says:
CNS:  Can you sense our crewmates?

CNS_Jalara says:
TO:  Yes.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: looks at hers, reading are garbled ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
All:which way did it come from?::looking around::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::narrows eyebrows as she works on the analysis of the shields::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Doole's tricorder is ineffective.

FCO_Doole says:
::tapping special keys on tricorder, begins scanning::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  Captain, something is happening.  I think they may have discovered something...

TO_Wakefield says:
CNS:  Anything in particular?

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: Just organic readings.  Like the entire ship is alive.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The walls begin to undulate, and something begins to appear from the walls.

TO_Wakefield says:
::power to transporters is boosted::

FCO_Doole says:
MO: My tricorder is ineffective for whatever this is

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: holds on ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
All:LOOK AT THAT!

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All :  look at the walls!

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: scans the walls ::

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL:  Look out for that...

OPS-VonKruger says:
::Points to wall::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: readings still garbled ::

CTO_Kelson says:
::takes defensive stance::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::tries to move:

FCO_Doole says:
ALL: Gather together, back to back

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: It's a humanoid torso, and as the hostages watch, arms begin to grow.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:I'd like to get a closer look at the radiation in this system, I’d like to send out a probe to gather a sample.

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  Something is definitely wrong with them.  They may be in serious danger.

CTO_Kelson says:
::moves to position::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::moves into a defensive position::

FCO_Doole says:
ALL:Stand still

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: scans the torso ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::starting to sweat::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The arms gather material from one wall, and use it to patch a spot which appears to be in disrepair.

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL: Amazing...

FCO_Doole says:
::senses Von Kruger's nervousness::

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL: It is alive...

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: As it does so, the crew can see a recognizable uniform emerging from behind the cleared material.....

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  reading are still garbled ::

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL: That can't be Star Fleet!

FCO_Doole says:
::raises eyebrow:: ALL: Fascinating!

OPS-VonKruger says:
::hits comm badge again and again::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  what's going on here?  who or what is that?

TO_Wakefield says:
::readies a class eight probe::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: continues scans ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
FCO:  I am glad that you are so fascinated by this situation.

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  I can definitely sense VonKruger.  He is terrified of something.

Host CO_Alar says:
Jalara: What are they seeing?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: approaches with a small vile for collection of mucus dripping from the arms ::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::prepares probe to send out to space::

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo: Send the probe.

CNS_Jalara says:
::Concentrates::  CO:  A Starfleet uniform....

OPS-VonKruger says:
::tries to smiles but the sick feeling in the stomach won't allow it::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The arms make a grab for Royce's symbiont pouch.

CTO_Kelson says:
::dives to protect Royce::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: moves back quickly ::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::jumps at arms::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::hands move swiftly over the console as the probe launches into space near the ship, but not to close::

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: Their after your symbiont!

FCO_Doole says:
::tackles torso::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
All:  I don't like this...

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  They are under attack by something!!

CTO_Kelson says:
::makes contact with alien::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The arms wrap around Doole and start drawing him into the walls.

CTO_Kelson says:
Doole: You got it!?!?

OPS-VonKruger says:
::hits the arms with fists::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  are you getting anything from the alien?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: lunges for Doole, careful of arms ::

CTO_Kelson says:
::tries to pull Doole back::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::pushes Doole::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::to the side::

CNS_Jalara says:
::Turns a pale shade of white::  CO:  Something has Doole...

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: I'm trying to get Doole now!

Host CO_Alar says:
Lorenzo, Wakefield: Anything?

TO_Wakefield says:
CSO:  Julia?

CTO_Kelson says:
::straining to keep Doole from entering wall::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:retriving the samples of the radiation now Captain.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::grabs arms::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The arms release Doole, but grab Von Kruger instead.

FCO_Doole says:
::pulls out special phaser, presses freeze button, turns it towards the arms, and fires::

CTO_Kelson says:
::flies backward::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  We can't let them take our officers.  Maybe we should fire a warning shot?

FCO_Doole says:
::pulls out special phaser, presses freeze button, turns it towards the arms, and fires::

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I have extra power to the transporters Captain, but I still can't establish a lock.

CTO_Kelson says:
::scrambles to grab Bruno::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The phaser is ineffective, and in fact shorts out in the environment.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::struggles::

CTO_Kelson says:
Doole:  Stand between Xenobia and the torso!

OPS-VonKruger says:
::tries to get free::

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I believe a warning shot is appropriate.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Von Kruger is drawn halfway into the wall.

CTO_Kelson says:
::continues to pull at Von::

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: I agree, but what will that do to our people?

TO_Wakefield says:
::locks phasers on target::

CNS_Jalara says:
::Gets up and stands behind Wakefield::

CTO_Kelson says:
Wall:  No you don't!!!!!

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I don't even know what it will do to the ship at this point.

FCO_Doole says:
::get between crew and the arms, grabs a hold of Von Kruger and pulls::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  Captain, if we don't do something very soon, we could lose all four of them.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::samples being studied in science lab 1, data is been sent to the science station on the bridge::

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Von Kruger is drawn entirely into the wall.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::feels goo soak through uniform::

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: Do it.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::can't breath::

CTO_Kelson says:
ALL:  I'm loosing my grip!

TO_Wakefield says:
::fires phasers::  CO:  Aye.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::struggling::

TO_Wakefield  (PHASER3.wav)

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: Von Kruger is being assimilated into the vessel.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Alien :  If I enter the wall will you let my people go free of you?

OPS-VonKruger says:
::sees images of home::

CTO_Kelson says:
MO:  Can you get any lifesigns of VonKruger?

OPS-VonKruger says:
::Pushes face out::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
:: scans ::  No, not at this time

OPS-VonKruger says:
::gets some air::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:My studies show the radiation to be very unusual indeed, it appears it has no effect on metal objects but a significant effect on the organic

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  Something is happening to VonKruger............It's like he is being assimilated almost.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The phaser shot appears to cook part of the ship.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  can you try to contact the alien and see if he releases VonKruger, I'll step into the wall

OPS-VonKruger says:
::lungs are beginning to burn::

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: and loose both of you?

CTO_Kelson says:
<Lose>

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The wall sucks him back in, and transfers him to the damaged part of the vessel....just more "material"

TO_Wakefield says:
CO: looks like we did some damage Captain.  Maybe I can cut a hole to the our people?

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~@CNS: Help us.~~~~

CNS_Jalara says:
All on bridge: He is in intense pain.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  if the wall releases Kruger, I'll step in to it.

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: Do what you have to.

TO_Wakefield says:
:feels tingling in the brain::

CNS_Jalara says:
~~~~@FCO:  What is going over there?~~~~

OPS-VonKruger says:
::sees Mom waving::

OPS-VonKruger says:
::getting dark::

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::fires phasers continuously::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  can you rely this to the alien?

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: the ship doesn't seem to respond to vocal stimuli.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  telepathically?

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: I'm not a telepath, Doctor.

OPS-VonKruger says:
::heart about to burst::

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~@CNS: Something grabbed Von Kruger and assimilated him as part of the wall, sort of~~~~

CTO_Kelson says:
MO: I like to handle things PHYSICALLY!

CTO_Kelson says:
::attacks the wall to try and force an opening::

Host CO_Alar says:
<Alien>~Doole~ Why do you fight for something in such rich supply?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Kelson:  sorry, I thought you could

CNS_Jalara says:
~~~~FCO:  We are firing on the ship.~~~~

OPS-VonKruger says:
::tries to call out::Mom

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The ship attempts to pull Kelson in as well.

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO:the radiation coming from the ship does not harm metal objects, perhaps sending in a team within an enclosed pod?

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~Alien: What do you mean?"~~~~

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  what's going on with you?

CTO_Kelson says:
Wall: Nooooo!!!!

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  are you in contact with the alien?

Host CO_Alar says:
Wakefield: Red alert.

CTO_Kelson says:
::strains to fight the wall::

Host CO_Alar says:
::said quietly::

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  Doole is in contact with the alien.

FCO_Doole says:
MO: I talking with it telepathically

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::activates red alert.  Raises shields::

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  ask it what it wants

CTO_Kelson says:
Wall:  Not this time you sonofa...

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  ask it to release our people

TO_Wakefield says:
::continues fire::

Host CO_Alar says:
<Alien>~Doole~ You are....how do I say....meat for us. Fuel. Material. Life.

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~Alien: What is it that you want?~~~~

CTO_Kelson says:
::continues to struggle::

FCO_Doole says:
MO: It says that we are meat for it. Fuel. Material . Life

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Captain, our phasers seem to be cooking the alien vessel, like it's being browned.

Host CO_Alar says:
ACTION: The wall spits out Kelson, and retracts into a flat wall, still glistening with mucous.

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  great!  :: hates the answer Doole just gave ::

FCO_Doole says:
~~~~@CNS: It says that we are meat for it. Fuel. Material . Life~~~~

TO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Perhaps if we vent all power to the phasers?

CNS_Jalara says:
CO:  I think I understand what is going on.

CTO_Kelson says:
Wall: Ha!  Didn't like the taste you thing from another world you!

Host CO_Alar says:
<Alien> There are so many of you, and so few of us...::sounds like it's salivating::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
TO:You can scan them but not transport them, is that right?  Is there a way we can make their readings different, less tasty to the ship?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  ask about Kruger, ask that he not be consumed right now

CTO_Kelson says:
Doole: can you sense Von Kruger?

MO-LtJg-Xenobia says:
Doole:  ask if there is something else it can consume

CNS_Jalara says:
Bridge crew:  The ship consumes people for its fuel....

TO_Wakefield says:
CSO:  I don't know.  You said the radiation reacts only to living matter and not non-organic material, yes?
