Mission Summary:

Previously on the Vesuvius: The crew was sent to sector 112 to investigate a metryon gas cloud that was supposedly affecting ships and their crews it comes in contact with.

Sensors detected the gas cloud and as they approached to investigate, propulsion failed.  Without warp or impulse the ship became vulnerable to the affects of the gas cloud.

As the ship came into contact with the cloud, the crew began to change.  Physically, they changed in height, shape and matter as they became more 'animated'. 

Now the crew is trying to find a way out of the gas cloud and a way to reverse the effects of exposure.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sure thing, if fen I do, kin I eat the chicken?   :: Starts hopping on the console again ::	

Host Susan B says:
<Shuttle 1> COMM: Vesuvius:  Our other shuttle is in worse shape.  The only thing they have working now is life support, at least that's what we can infer from sensors.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: He's not a chicken...he's a rooster...and we need him to handle tactical.  So no.

CSO Lane says:
:: Overhears the comm message and checks on the sensors ::

Host CO Royce says:

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Any readings from the other shuttle, Lola my dear?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Bounces to turn and listen to the CSO's answer... ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: The sensors show that the second shuttle has life support only sweetie.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Thanks, honey bunny...

CSO Lane says:
XO: Oh and they are on battery power.   :: Blushes ::

Host Susan B says:
ACTION: The shields snap into place however the power surge causes more sparks from the OPS console and communications go down.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Mother kangaroo is still standing to the side as she watches her
Joey... ::

XO Kelson says:
All: Well isn't that just a kick in the caboose...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Shakes her head in the affirmative as she continues to bounce lightly in place next to the center chair ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Bugs longingly and sighs, hearts now taking shape in her eyes ::   Self: What a rabbit!

XO Kelson says:
CSO: We need those communications, Lola honey.  Can you fix them?

CSO Lane says:
XO: I'll try dear.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Begins rotating modulation on the shields to see if the results may increase ::

Host Susan B says:
ACTION: Shields remain in place, modulation rotating as manipulated by Engineering.

CSO Lane says:
:: Works on rerouting the comm systems through science one ::

CSO Lane says:
Self: This is ruining my nails!

XO Kelson says:
TO: Rooster boy...Take helm and let's go get those shuttles.

TO Horn says:
XO: Say there…I say there son, that is not my name.

CMO Blade says:
:: Hops off the bridge and into the turbolift ::

XO Kelson says:
*CEO* We now need to go on a rescue mission, Doc.  Keep those shields up for as long as you can.

CMO Blade says:
Computer: Sickbay.

CSO Lane says:
:: Jumps ::   XO: Ooooo I have something now. I think we have communications back.   :: Starts to hop up and down ::

CEO McGregor says:
*XO* Yes indeed Mon Ami'

Host CO Royce says:
:: Hops in place more excitedly as she hears the CSO and claps her hands... ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Get our tractor beam ready to lock on the shuttle, Little hawk...And keep away from the big, fat rooster!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Mother claps her hands still off on the side hoping in place keeping an eye on her Joey ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Little Joey hops over to the big fat rooster and hops in place next to him... ::

CEO McGregor says:

XO Kelson says:
CSO: I knew you could do it, doll.

OPS Chaser says:	
:: hops ::   XO: Aye :: and starts hopping around programming a tractor
beam ::

Host Susan B says:
ACTION: As the turbo lift doors slide closed, Blade finds himself changing once more...this time into a young bouncy boy.  

Host Susan B says:
ACTION: OPS begins to grow, once more changing form, this time into a young bouncy girl.

CSO Lane says:
XO: Of course I can do it!

CMO Blade says:

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Pink polka dots are my favorite DOTS.

OPS Chaser says:	
XO : I'm so cute.

Host Susan B says:	
ACTION: On the bridge, Lt. Horn begins to change his feathers disappearing as he turns into a young boy.

XO Kelson says:
:: Notices change ::   OPS: As soon as we are in range, lock on to the shuttle.  Polka dots and all.

CEO McGregor says:
*XO* Better hurry Mon Ami'

CMO Blade says:
:: Sings hallelujah with burping ::

Host Susan B says:
ACTION: In Engineering, McGregor's fur turns from black to brown and he begins spinning wildly from console to console as he works.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Back the ship out to safety, doc...

OPS Chaser says:
