USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10406.08
Episode 4

Rendezvous in the Dark

From within the Darkness…

They say Space is cold…but space contains some of the hottest blood of all…(revised from Melville's Moby Dick)

The Vesuvius arrived at the Marée Noir Nebula, a dark cloud nebula, to rendezvous with the scientific ship, U.S.S. Discovery.  The Discovery's last transmission was weak and broken.  No further communications have been received from her.

With the help of a probe the Discovery was found drifting near the neutron star. The CSO feared her caught in the star's gravitational pull and it was confirmed when the CSO determined the ship had six hours before the ship would be destroyed when she entered the neutron star's corona.

The Vesuvius traversed the Nebula but not before experiencing several problems along the way when she came into contact with numerous quantum spheres. An away team was dispatched to the Discovery where they were met with a somber scene.

The entire crew on the Discovery were dead and the away team didn't believe they would find anyone alive as they traveled towards the bridge in search for answers. When they arrived, they found three persons in evacuation suits. They were barely alive.

The CMO and the survivors were beamed to sickbay on the Vesuvius while the XO and FCO discussed how to revive the ship, which appeared to have been sucked of all power. However, in the end, the XO transported back to the Vesuvius while the FCO returned to the shuttle to return to the Vesuvius.

The CMO was able to revive one Captain Morgan who's main concern was to return to the Discovery while the CSO was able to lock onto the Discovery to stabilize her position.

Will answers now be obtained to questions involving the Discovery before the neutron star collapses and forms a black hole?

Meanwhile, a transport, carrying three new crew members the CIV, the CEO and OPS, is looking for the Vesuvius. Unknown to them, the Ves has entered the dark cloud nebula.  They have arrived at the given coordinates received from Admiral Royce, but they only find a beacon….

CMO Bannister says:
*CO*:  I'm just about to revive Doctor Barron and Commander Mauora, sir.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Mumbling under his breath "No, No, No ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions to the CTO::CTO: Toir, care to handle the tractor beams now? I need to keep an eye on the sphere readouts.

CO Kelson says:
*CMO*: I'll be right down...

TO Raja says:
:: Happily pushes buttons on his panel ::

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Misses the QIb but glad he is back on the Vesuvius, glad he not does not have to  be a renegade, but having a Klingon bounty put on his head worries him ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Feels herself starting to come to ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Takes control of the tractor ::   CSO: Of course I can maintain it better from here any way

CMO Bannister says:
*CO* Aye sir.   :: Injects Doctor Barron with a hypospray to revive her as he goes over and does the same to Commander Mauora. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles at Lore as she passes ::

CO Kelson says:
CSO: Commander, you have the bridge...

LtCmdr Mauora says:
Ohhhh!

CSO Lane says:
CO: Yes Captain.   :: Gives him a small grin ::

CTO Naug says:
TO: I need you to keep an eye on the shields keeping it modulated while we keep the tractor going

XO Stricker says:
:: Arrives on the bridge ::   FCO: Status

Dr Barron says:
:: Feels the hypospray and eyes fly open ::   CMO: Where am I?   :: Confused ::

CO Kelson says:
:: Grins back ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Strengthens the beam for stabilization ::

TO Raja says:
CTO: I can do that. I was taught how to do that at the academy.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Keeps an eye on their life signs to make sure they are coming to consciousness.  He turns to Doctor Barron. ::   Barron: You're aboard the U.S.S. Vesuvius.  We rescued you from your ship.

CO Kelson says:
CSO: I'll be right back...   :: Enters turbolift ::

Host Sheri says:
@Transport Computer: You have arrived at the coordinates

CTO Naug says:
TO: Good it can be tricky running both at the same time

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Puts her headset on and turns on the music.  Begins the painstaking task of getting the Vesuvius and the Discovery out of there. ::   CSO:  Ma'am Permission to go to thruster and try and get us out of here.

CSO Lane says:
:: Checks the readouts on the spheres ::   CO: Understood sir.

CO Kelson says:
:: Takes turbolift to sickbay level ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Is still dazed but feels that she has to speak with the Captain ::   CMO: I must speak with your Captain immediately

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Do we have full thruster power Lore?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The trek out of the nebula is slow and arduous.  The CSO sees many spheres blocking their path

CMO Bannister says:
Barron:  He is about to arrive Doctor.

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Picks up his things and heads to the transporter room ::   *Transport Captain*: This is T`Vel, I am ready to transport to the Vesuvius at your convenience Captain.

CTO Naug says:
FCO: Take it slow, don't want to loss her

TO Raja says:
:: Pushes a couple of buttons and brings up the shield modulation screen, and watches it very closely ::

CO Kelson says:
:: Enters sickbay ::

Dr Barron says:
CMO: Good   :: Snapping at him ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  Barely, but I don't want to risk it.  It is not as important getting out as it was getting in.  I can take more care this way.   Want to monitor the spheres for me?

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Gets up and puts his Andorian Longsword on and puts his grey necked SFI Starfleet uniform ::

CO Kelson says:
CMO: Okay, how are we doing?

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Sphere directly ahead Lore, hard over port.

Host Sheri says:
@<Transport Captain> *CEO*: Take a seat, sir...we are having trouble FINDING the Vesuvius

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Fingers fly as the ship moves hard to port. ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Raises his eyebrow and waits for the Captain to arrive as he scans Doctor Barron with his medical tricorder. ::   CO: They've requested to speak with you sir.  Captain Morgan is still sedated.

CTO Naug says:
*Engineering*: Can you give me more power to the tractor it's hard to hold with the maneuverings

Capt Morgan says:
:: Eyes fly open and he gets another gander of sickbay. ::   Out load:  Who is in charge here!?!?!

XO Stricker says:
FCO/CSO: Anyways to avoid those things?

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO: Where are we? I mean I.   :: Looks ashamed ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Sees someone who looks like the Captain ::   CO: Are you this ship's Captain?

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Stops for a moment and thinks ::   *Transport Captain*: Is there anything I might be able to do to help?

TO Raja says:
:: Twitches his whiskers as he concentrates ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Watches for the next sphere ::   FCO: Easy Lore, all clear for 1000 meters now.

FCO Lorehani says:
XO: No Sir...just my fancy flying and I'm not sure if that is good enough the way these things move.

Capt Morgan says:
CSO: Understood.  Moving ahead slowly.

CO Kelson says:
Dr. Barron: I am Captain Kelson.

Host Sheri says:
<Transport Captain> *CEO*: Negative, sir.  The Vesuvius is just not at the designated coordinates

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Heads to the bridge of the transport ship to get a sight of the Vesuvius ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: We can sir, but there are so many that the odds of one hitting us are rather good.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Turns to Commander Mauora ::   Mauora:  You're on the Vesuvius.

Dr Barron says:
:: Nods ::   CO: Captain we must find another neutron star immediately.  I need to do more data for my research

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  At least one of us has faith in my fancy flying.   :: Flashes a quick grin to Hope. ::

CO Kelson says:
Barron: And what research is that?

XO Stricker says:
CSO/FCO: Any suggestive methods of how to make this ride a smooth one?
:: Grins ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Flexes hands ::   CMO: What happened?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: A large sphere is in the direct path of the Vesuvius...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Chuckles ::   XO: Think of it as the rollercoaster at Disneyland, sir.

CSO Lane says:
XO: We just keep doing what we're doing.

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Decided to head to the transports bridge and enters a turbolift ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Sees the large sphere and banks the ship starboard. ::

CMO Bannister says:
Mauora:  We rescued you, Doctor Barron and Captain Morgan from your ship.

CEO T’Vel says:
<ENG> *CTO*: Aye sir more power to the tractor acknowledged.

CTO Naug says:
:: Alarm goes off on his panel from the large shpere ::

Capt Morgan says:
CMO: Excuse ME!!!  Are you in the habit of ignoring patients!?!

Dr Barron says:
CO: I've been studying the energy output of neutron stars for use as power in   :: Pauses and tries to calm down ::

TO Raja says:
:: Continues to watch the shield modulation and makes adjustments to compensate for distortions ::

XO Stricker says:
CSO: Aye Commander...   FCO: Steady as she goes, avoid all sphere and this roller coaster won’t make me sick...   :: Smiles ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, sphere ahead. She's a big one. Take us down 10 degrees.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The CEO arrives on the bridge of the transport and takes a seat as he sees nothing but stars on the viewscreen

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Chuckles ::   XO:  Aye aye, sir.

CO Kelson says:
:: Leans in to hear ::

CTO Naug says:
:: See the straining the tractor beam ::   FCO: That was a close one almost lost her on that one

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO: Is the view always this? All I can see is this thing above me.

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: I've banked starboard.  That should do it.

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Arrives on the bridge ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns around ::   CTO: Toir, those beams holding?

CTO Naug says:
*Engineering*: I got it thanks

Dr Barron says:
:: Wipes her brow ::   CO: I'm sorry Captain, I'm still a little woozy...we're studying them for Starfleet…as a possible power source for ship's whose power supplies have been depleted in an emergency

Capt Morgan says:
:: Climbs out of the bed since he is being ignored.  If they won't answer him he will go looking for the answers.  Slides off the bed and heads for the doors exiting into the hallway. ::

XO Stricker says:
CTO: What's the status of our tractor beam? Do these spheres have any possible power that may weaken the beam's intensity?

CTO Naug says:
CSO: So far so good…it's a bite strained but holding

CSO Lane says:
:: Examines the sensor screen readouts again ::

TO Raja says:
:: Wags his tail out of habit ::

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Glances over at an Andorian who has also entered the bridge, seeing that he has a bag with him as well assumes he is another transfer or passenger of the Vesuvius ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Works his hands as it is the first time using them ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The tractor beam is beginning to lose it's grip on the Discovery...

Dr Barron says:
CO: I am very close to finding an answer Captain.  I must continue my research immediately

CIV Tyret says:
@TransportCaptain: Any sign of the Ves?

CMO Bannister says:
Mauora:  How do you feel exactly?   :: Scans the Commander with a tricorder. ::

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Make sure that you maintain full power to both beams. Get engineering to make it a priority.

CO Kelson says:
Barron: Interesting.  How soon do we have to find this star?

CTO Naug says:
:: Utters a Klingon word ::   XO:  STOP we are losing the tractor hold

Dr Barron says:
CO: Now Captain...immediately

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO>CTO: Attempting to compensate...   :: Works feverishly ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO: I don't know. I never felt these things.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Wanders down the hallway in his hospital gown.  Enters the turbolift. ::   Computer: Bridge and step on it!

CTO Naug says:
*EO*: Give ma all available power.  Shut down non-essentials if you have too

CO Kelson says:
Barron: Do you have an idea where one is?

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Reroute some available power into tractor beam and make her hold

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO:  What are these?   :: Points to ears ::

CMO Bannister says:
Mauora:  If you were to give these feelings a word, what would it be?   :: Continues to scan his patient with the medical tricorder. ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO>CTO: Acknowledged .   :: Takes non-essential auxiliary systems offline and begins rerouting to the tractor beam systems ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Working feverishly to maintain to the hold routing all power he can muster ::

TO Raja says:
:: Thinks that his extensive talents is being wasted on watching the shields. ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CmO: Word?

Capt Morgan says:
:: Feeling the turbolift stop he steps onto the bridge, hospital gown flapping in the wind.  Even in the 24th century they didn't put backs on them. ::   All:  WHO IS IN CHARGE AROUND HERE?!

XO Stricker says:
CSO: Estimated time until the tractor beam can't hold the Discovery anymore?

CTO Naug says:
TO: See what you can do to get me more power, just don't let those shields go down

CIV Tyret says:
@CEO: Scan for the impulse trail of the Vesuvius if you would like to.

Host Sheri says:
@<Transport Captain> CEO: No, not at this time.  We will hold position until she arrives

TO Raja says:
CTO: Yes Sir-r-r

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Continues to maneuver around the spheres. ::

CTO Naug says:
XO: We are holding but I suggest taking it real easy

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Speaks up the Andorian for the captain who doesn’t have the time to respond to him ::   CIV: No they have not as of yet seen the Vesuvius.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Scratches his head wondering if something is wrong.  He scans Mauora's brain to see if there is anything peculiar. ::   Mauora:  Yes, a word.

CTO Naug says:
XO: Beam is weakening

Dr Barron says:
CO: There is one near…very near

TO Raja says:
:: Begins to divert power from the holodecks, replicator and any other non-essential system and routes it to the CTO ::

CTO Naug says:
*EO*: We are losing the beam get me more power

CSO Lane says:
XO: Sir, I'm not sure, but we have another one on her. That should hold her as long as the power holds out.

CO Kelson says:
:: Takes PADD from desk ::   Barron: Bring it up on this PADD...

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Excellent, coordinate a pleasurable speed with the FCO...What do you suggest we do further?

Capt Morgan says:
:: Looks around the bridge. ::   ALL:  I SAID WHO IS IN CHARGE.  WHAT AM I A GHOST!?!   :: Walks to the nearest station and hits the red alert klaxon setting it off. ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO: Never mind. I need to get with my mates.

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> *CTO*: I've got all available power running into the system sir!

Dr Barron says:
CO: Captain, please, every moment counts   :: Takes the PADD and pinpoints a star ::   Here it is

CMO Bannister says:
Mauora: You're not going anywhere Commander.  You're obviously in no shape to leave Sickbay.

CIV Tyret says:
@CEO: Well we wait.

TO Raja says:
CTO: That is all I can get. I can r-r-ree-r-r-route power-r-r fr-r-rom the weapons also if you want

CO Kelson says:
Barron: Thank you.   :: Moves to computer ::

CTO Naug says:
FCO: Can you slow us down any

CO Kelson says:
:: Inputs data and sends to FCO ::

XO Stricker says:
CSO: Aye, aye

Capt Morgan says:
:: Throws up his hands ::   Self:  Sheesh, what do I have to do...fire phaser’s?

CTO Naug says:
TO: No weapons stay online

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CMO: Strange face, why do you keep me here?

Dr Barron says:
:: Feels a hunger growing inside ::

CSO Lane says:
All: We have another 5.98 hours until we clear the spheres. Everyone stay on your toes.

TO Raja says:
CTO: Yes Sir-r-r

CMO Bannister says:
:: Looks strangely at the Commander. ::   Mauora:  I'm a Doctor.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Captain Morgan sets off the red alert klaxons

TO Raja says:
CTO: Stupid question, but wouldn't it be easier-r-r to push the other-r-r ship instead of pulling it?

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, here comes another one off to starboard.

CIV Tyret says:
@:: Puts his luggage and ceremonial weapons down ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Got the tractor running at the most it can ::   Out loud: What the devil

CO Kelson says:
*FCO* Kelson to Lorehani...I have sent our next destination to your station.  Input the coordinates.

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Do all that you can to make sure we are towing that ship behind us and keep me posted on any changes or suggestions you have, please.

CIV Tyret says:
@CEO: We should try to contact them.

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: See it....   :: Adjusts course ::   *CO*:  Aye Sir, can you wait a moment.  These Spheres have a mind of their own.

CTO Naug says:
XO: yes sir

LtCmdr Muora says:
CMO: What’s that?

CMO Bannister says:
:: Looks over to the Captain as he hears the Red Alert Klaxons. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns at the sound of the klaxons ::   CTO: What's the trouble?

Dr Barron says:
:: Looks around and sees an EPS conduit and moves to it, and begins to feed off the power :: CO: Captain can I show you something over here?

CTO Naug says:
FCO: Slow it up a bit or we are going to lose her

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Raises an eyebrow and glances over ::   CIV: Yes that would be a prudent course of action, however we are not members of this crew, and have not been asked to assist as of yet.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Stands with his arms crossed and tapping his foot. ::   XO:  Are you in charge Deaf boy?

CSO Lane says:
Morgan: Excuse me, who are you?

CTO Naug says:
TO: What’s the problem

Dr Barron says:
:: Walks up behind the CMO and hits him hard on the head with a tray ::

XO Stricker says:
*CO*: Captain sir, I am now on the bridge and in charge

CO Kelson says:
Barron: It seems we are having trouble getting out of this nebula.  We'll move toward your destination as soon as we can.  I'll be on the bridge.

CTO Naug says:
:: Looks across his board trying to see why they went to red alert ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The CMO falls unconscious

CMO Bannister says:
:: Falls on the ground and lies there. ::

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Get security up here now.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Throws up his hands ::   CSO:  A finally someone who notices me.  I'm Capt Morgan and I want to speak to who is in charge.  Now...

Dr Barron says:
CO: Captain No...please I must show you this!

TO Raja says:
:: Points to the stranger ::   CTO: I believe he is, sir-r-r

XO Stricker says:
:: Walks over to the FCO station ::   FCO: I'm sorry what is it Lieutenant? I'm here....

CO Kelson says:
:: Turns to doctor ::

CTO Naug says:
*Security*: Security to the bridge NOW   :: Turns on the intruder alert ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Continues to pull in the power ::   CO: Captain, please   :: Walks toward him ::

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday> :: Walks in from the medical lab and sees the Doctor is on the ground. ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> *XO*: Engineering to Bridge: I might be able to get a little more power to the tractor systems, but I will have to take the safety protocols offline, I can watch over and raise the level manually from here and abort if there is a problem sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Grabs Morgan's wrist ::   Morgan: Now tell me who you are again...slowly.

CIV Tyret says:
@Transport Captain: Please open Hails to Vesuvius. If you need authorization I will give you my SFI codes.

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Leaves without being noticed ::

CO Kelson says:
:: Sees doctor ::   Barron: What happened to our CMO?

CTO Naug says:
:: Pulls out his phaser and points it at the stranger ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Opens the conduit and feels the power surge ::   CO: I'm not sure

TO Raja says:
Self: Why can't we all get along?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Read my lips.   :: Speaks slowly ::   I'm...Capt...Morgan...I...want...to...speak...to...someone...in...charge....

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Dr. Barron begins to feed from the EPS conduit.  Power fluctuates all over the ship...

Dr Barron says:
:: Draws in more power hungrily ::

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday> :: Goes over to Doctor Bannister. ::   CO: Captain, he's suffered a mild concussion.

CSO Lane says:
Morgan: Then you're speaking to the right person. I'm Commander Lane.

CO Kelson says:
Barron:  You'd better move away from there.  You are not authorized for that...
:: Moves toward Barron ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> XO: Engineering to Bridge, I getting power flux all across the board and I can’t locate a source!

TO Raja says:
CTO: R-r-reading power-r-r fluxuations

CTO Naug says:
TO: Where and why

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Enters the bridge ::

XO Stricker says:
*EO*: Engineering: As long as you can abort the program without a problem then make it so.

Capt Morgan says:
CSO: Pish-Posh...must be someone higher...   :: Looks at her ::   And can stand up.   :: Leans against the console. ::

CO Kelson says:
Ensign Corday: Get security down here on the double!

Dr Barron says:
:: Sees the CO move toward him and sneers ::

CIV Tyret says:
@CEO: We will wait.

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Begins to feed ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Commander, over here please.

Dr Barron says:
:: Reaches out and grabs the CO's arm ::

CTO Naug says:
*Morgan*: Who are you?  You don't belong here

CEO T’Vel says:
@:: Sits and ponders why the CIV continues to remind him that which he already knows ::

TO Raja says:
CTO: Do not know yet. But I am tr-r-rying to find out

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: At Dr. Barron's touch the CO feels a surge of electricity.  He stands there taking the shock for what seems like ages, then falls to the floor...

XO Stricker says:
*EO*: Engineering use the central location power allotter to locate the source of the flux...   :: Overhears the CSO ::

CO Kelson says:
:: Tries to break free ::

CTO Naug says:
XO: Where is the captain

XO Stricker says:
:: Walks over to the CSO ::   CSO: Aye....

Dr Barron says:
:: Won’t let go as the Captain struggles ::

Capt Morgan says:
CTO:  Do I have to repeat this again...   :: Begins to drain power from the console. ::    I'm...Capt...Morgan...from...the...Discovery....

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday> :: Touches his combadge. ::   *Sec*:  Sickbay to Security.  Report to Sickbay immediately.

XO Stricker says:
CTO: That's a good question, sick bay I presume....

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> *XO*: Acknowledged...   :: Access’ the central power allotter and begins to scan for the center of the flux ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Sir, this man claims to be Captain Morgan. He wishes to speak to someone higher up.
:: Grins ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Fires phaser at Morgan ::

XO Stricker says:
CSO: How did he get on the bridge?

CTO Naug says:
:: Hearing the call for sickbay and just finding out the CO is there ::

Dr Barron says:
:: Continues to feed off the EPS conduit ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Tries to defend his fellow beings ::

Capt Morgan says:
XO: I'm right here buster and for your information.  I walked onto the bridge.  You guys were in la-la land.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Captain Morgan absorbs the energy from the phaser

CSO Lane says:
XO: No idea sir, but...   :: Notices the console blinking ::   Morgan: Back away from the console!

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday> :: Wonders why Security isn't responding. ::   *Sec*:  This is Ensign Corday to Security, please respond.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Sneers ::   CSO:  Make me little lady...

CTO Naug says:
TO: You handle it.   XO: I'm heading to sickbay with a team

TO Raja says:
CTO: Yes sir-r-r

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CSO: Stay away.   :: Gets his own EPS power tap ::

CTO Naug says:
*CMO*: I'm on my way with a team.  What’s going on

XO Stricker says:
Captain Morgan: Well, my name is Commander Timothy Stricker, First Officer. Why I ask what you are doing.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: As Captain Morgan and Dr Barron feed from consoles and EPS conduits, the Vesuvius begins to lose power.  The tractor beam is lost and the Discovery begins to drift...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Wants to get into the fight that is about to happen behind her but must stay at her station.  Wouldn't do to fly into one of those spheres. ::

CSO Lane says:
CTO: I need a full security team here now!

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Before you go, why are you heading there?

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  SIR!!!  I’VE LOST THE DISCOVERY!

CTO Naug says:
XO: Security has been called and the captain may be in danger

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Concentrates on blocking off the paths to the bridge ::

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday> *CTO*:  The Captain and Doctor have been attacked by the Discovery survivors.

CSO Lane says:
:: Releases Morgan and checks her console ::   XO: Commander she's right. We've lost the tractor beams and we're losing power all over the ship.

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Ok but the TO should stay here

XO Stricker says:
XO: What happened? How was it lost?

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> *XO*: The source is the bridge and the area of Sickbay, we're beginning to lose power all over, I can cut the power to those areas...that’s what I recommend Sir.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Grabs the CSO From behind and holds her by the neck. ::   ALL:  One false move and I'll break her pretty neck.

CTO Naug says:
XO: That’s what I said and security is on it's way here I already called them

XO Stricker says:
CTO: Thank you

CSO Lane says:
XO: Sir, something is draining our systems. Checking now.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The CMO regains consciousness...

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CSO: We are sorry.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Groans and rubs his head. ::   Self:  What's going on?

XO Stricker says:
TO: I need these men removed from my bridge, do everything you can

CSO Lane says:
:: Struggles with Morgan ::   Morgan: Release me now!

Dr Barron says:
:: Sees the CMO come to but doesn't stop feeding ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Heads to sickbay with a team to meet him there and why hasn't hat team made it to the bridge yet ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> *XO*: The source is the bridge and the area of Sickbay, we're beginning to lose power all over, I can cut the power to those areas...that’s what I recommend Sir.

XO Stricker says:
*EO*: Aye, make it so

Capt Morgan says:

Morgan: Don't need catnip when I have you to play with.

TO Raja says:
:: Jumps up and pounces and again, forcing him into the turbo lift ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO>*XO*: Acknowledged   :: Retreats to a console to attempt to re-establish their power levels ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The phaser energy beam is absorbed by Dr. Barron

it. ::   TO:  Let's play electric kitty.

Morgan: You stop this at once!

Capt Morgan says:
Maura: I don't think so.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Scans the Captain and gets a cortical stimulator. ::

Capt Morgan says:
XO: Or what?

XO Stricker says:
FCO: I agree, full stop!

CMO Bannister says:
Corday:  Ensign…now.

LtCmdr Mouora says:
Morgan: You can not slaughter these creatures again. We must understand them.

:: Whispers ::   TO: Where is it?

Capt Morgan says:
XO:  Well fine...   :: Holds out his hands ::   Cuff me like some common criminal.

CMO Bannister says:
<Ensign Corday>  :: Thinks. ::   CMO: The Doctor grabs the Captain and there were pulses of electricity coming from her.

LtCmdr Mauora says:
Morgan: To deal with them properly they must be alive for study and negotiations.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Takes up position beside Raja ::

XO Stricker says:
Morgan: Not until you and your colleagues stand down your arms....

Capt Morgan says:
Mauora:  Study I suppose but they are so fragile and we don't have time for this.  We must find another star now.

LtCmdr Maora says:
Morgan: We must understand why they did it.

Dr Barron says:
:: Feels something but doesn't acknowledge anything ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
Morgan: Agreed, but lets see if we can get their help.

CMO Bannister says:

:: Holding Dr. Barron by her throat ::   Barron: Stop what you are doing!  What have you done

CMO Bannister says:
Corday:  Give him a small jolt.   :: Watches the Captain's readings in hopes that something will change. ::

Dr Barron says:
CTO: I?  I don' t know...please stop choking me.  I won't fight you

LtCmdr Mauora says:
Morgan: The first step is to cease attack and watch. They can't hurt us now.

Capt Morgan says:
:: Rolls his eyes ::   Mauora: You are beginning to bore me.

Dr Barron says:
:: Relaxes completely ::

CTO Naug says:
Barron: What have you done to the Captain?

XO Stricker says:
TO: Please raise our status to intruder alert and have all security personal on alert. Make sure the CO is also safe. Don't let Morgan out of your site, if you can please apprehend him

CMO Bannister says:
:: Sees that nothing is happening. ::   Corday:  Another jolt.

Dr Barron says:
:: Shakes head to clear it ::   CTO: I don't remember

LtCmdr Mauora says:
CSO: You must take us to a neutron star.

FCO Lorehani says:
TO: You take the left, I'll take the right?

CEO T’Vel says:
:: Sees power starting to return, begins transferring power to the tractor emitters ::

CTO Naug says:
:: Throws her at the Security team ::   SEC: Take her to the brig

TO Raja says:
:: Points to under the main Tactical Console, showing the CSO where the phaser is kept ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Stands and does not allow to be moved ::

CTO Naug says:
CMO: What did you say?  He is not…?

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO> Self: Damn it power is not coming back fast enough.   :: Begins to think hard…wishing there was a more experienced actual 'Chief' engineer aboard ::

XO Stricker says:
LtCmdr Mauora: What is this neutron star?   FCO: Did the CO's new position lead us there

LtCmdr Mauora says:
:: Stands and does not allow to be moved ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks at Morgan and moves to the right... ::   Self: One good pounce and he goes flying into the console.

CMO Bannister says:
:: Takes the Ensign's Tricorder and throws it at something. ::

CEO T’Vel says:
<EO>*XO*: Sir I have an idea...

CMO Bannister says:
:: Closes his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts as he presses his combadge. ::

LtCmdr Mauora says:
XO: The closet neutron star you can find.

TO Raja says:
:: Taps his combadge ::   Computer: Intr-r-ruder-r-r Aler-r-rt

XO Stricker says:
*EO*: Aye...

CSO Lane says:
:: Guesses that the TO is not going get the phaser, so she crawls back to her station and leans against the leg ::   Self: God help us.

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  I haven't checked the coordinates yet Sir.. I was trying to avoid power draining spheres.  But once Morgan is apprehended I'll gladly look.

XO Stricker says:
LtCmdr Mauora: Why do you need one?

CTO Naug says:
*XO* You are needed in sickbay at once.  I'm on my way back up

LtCmdr Mauora says:
XO: We will inform you when you are ready.

CMO Bannister says:
*XO*:  Bannister to Commander Stricker.   :: Sighs and takes a bit of time to continue. ::   Captain Kelson...is dead.
