USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10408.10
ACTD-wide storyline, Part 2
Episode 3

Debt of Honor…

The Vesuvius and her escorts, the Akira-class USS Shuriken, the USS Rapier, and the USS Javelin, now orbit a planet called Varnaxia having been separated from the rest of the Task Force Fleet. The fate of the fleet is currently unknown…

A spatial anomaly has been detected by sciences near Varnaxia. It is emitting an extra-dimensional energy reading of some kind. Sciences is still investigating this anomaly.

An unknown buildup has also been detected in the Vesuvius' engines, cause unknown.

According to Starfleet orders, it is the responsibility of the Vesuvius to learn the truth about the plans of the Nacandarians, how they trained the V'Rax, and any other pertinent information deemed relevant.

The XO, CMO, CTO and CNS are in the transporter room ready to beam planetside to meet with U'Tahn, the sole Nacandarian lifeform amongst the many V'Rax lifeforms found there. They hope to obtain information without tipping their hand as to why they have really come….

CSO Lane says:
:: Watches the sensors hoping that the anomaly is not going to pose a threat to the away team ::

CTO Varn says:
:: Checks over his weapons one more time, making sure everything is loose and ready to be used immediately ::

CEO Tyret says:
:: In engineering, bringing a dampening field online ::   *CSO*: Can you help me determine what type of Energy is building up in our engines?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The transporter chief watches as the Away Team steps up to the transporter pads

CNS Martin says:
:: Waits patiently to be beamed down to the planet ::

CMO Bannister says:
:: Is standing on the transporter pad, holding his med kit and awaits to be transported with the other members of the Away Team. ::

XO Stricker says:
:: Standing on the transporter PADD with his away team ::
Transporter Chief: Energize...

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Give me what you have and I'll see if I can pin it down.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Away Team is transported to the planet

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Sees the shimmer of a transporter beam ::

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: On it's way.   :: Sends the info to the CSO's console ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Tenses a little bit not knowing what to expect ::

CNS Martin says:
@:: Feels the tingle of the transporters and looks around as she materializes on the planets surface ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Examines the data as it scrolls across her console screen ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: Looks over to see U'Tahn ::   U'Tahn: Greetings, I'm Commander Timothy Stricker from the USS Vesuvius.

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Nods ::   XO: I am U'Tahn.  Welcome

CMO Bannister says:
@:: As he materializes on the surface, he pulls out his tricorder and does a quick scan of the area.::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Quickly scans the area looking for any place that might be a place of ambush ::

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Looks like we've got some extra-dimensional energy particles here. See if you can determine where they are coming from.

Host U`Tahn says:
@All: Please, follow me back inside.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Away Team, led by U'Tahn go into the small building which houses his office...

XO Stricker says:
U'Tahn: We'd be happy to.

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: Affirmative.   :: Uses the sensors to try and pinpoint the point of origin ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks around and looks at U'Tahn, noticing how strange he looked. ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: He stays close to the rest of the team, watching their backs as well as everything else at the same time ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Power begins to flicker intermittently throughout the ship...

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Thank you for welcoming us as your guests.

CSO Lane says:
:: Reads her own data again ::   Self: Well I'll be...   *CEO*: I think I have...what the devil is happening? I'm getting power fluctuations up here.

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Enters his office and motions for the Away Team to have a seat ::   XO: It is rare that I get visitors other than my own people

CTO Varn says:
@:: Sniffing the air, listening hard to see if his canine sense can pick up anything ::

CEO Tyret says:
Computer: Isolate power systems and limit the particles with dampening fields now!

CNS Martin says:
@:: Looks U'Tahn over as she follows into the building, thinking her own thoughts ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Watches Commander Stricker and the alien. ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: We really do appreciate this.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The computer is unable to comply...

CTO Varn says:
@:: Moves closer to the door and stays standing for now ::

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: Nothing I can do about that. What have you got?

CEO Tyret says:
:: Punches his instructions in manually ::

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Takes his seat behind his desk ::   All: Now, from where to you come from?

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: His antenna wiggles just a bit ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: We are on an exploration mission from far away, we were here studying a quantum flux.

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Shras, sensors show that those particles are coming from the anomaly itself. That could be why the power is fluctuating.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Scans the room looking for any signs of weaponry or anything that can be used as a weapon ::

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Nods ::   XO: The anomaly not far from here.  How far away are you and your ship from?

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: Raise the shields. Re-adjust them to multiphase. We need to block this thing out.

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Any way you can purge the engines?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Discreetly scans the alien with his medical tricorder. ::

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: I have no theories. Do you know how to neutralize particles?

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Well, our home planet is not that far from yours, just a few light years.

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: His antenna wiggles some more ::   XO: What's the name of your home planet and how far away is it?

CNS Martin says:
@:: For once she wishes she had the telepathic abilities of a Betazoid, and listens to the conversation between U'Tahn and the XO ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Stifles a growl at the questioning ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Well I'd rather know about yours right now. What is this place? What is it called?

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions to the duty tactical officer to raise the shields ::   *CEO*: Shields are up and they are protecting us somewhat, but I can't say if that will be for very long. Neutralizing the particles with gamma rays might work, but be sure to clear the area before the attempt is made.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Can't really get any clear readings from this range. ::

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: Any way to neutralize the anomaly itself?

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Before he answers the XO he looks at the CMO ::    CMO: You are a doctor?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The build up of the extra-dimensional energy particles are slowed by the shields...

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  Yes, I am.   :: Looks at the other members of the Away Team. ::   How did you know?

CEO Tyret says:
:: Orders the Evacuation of the decks in his area ::

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: The Vesuvius isn't powerful enough to do it alone, but I have an idea.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Doesn't take his eyes off U'Tahn or his paw far from his phaser unobtrusively ::

CEO Tyret says:
*CSO*: I will be on the bridge on a minute.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: This is my Chief Medical Officer Doctor Bannister. I'm afraid that is a standard procedure for the curious   ::Looks at the CMO and grins ::

CSO Lane says:
*CEO*: Good, I can use your help.

Host U`Tahn says:
@CMO: I see you carry a kit of some kind.  I assumed it was a field medical kit

CEO Tyret says:
:: Enters a turbolift after others leaving ::

CEO Tyret says:
:: Rides it to the bridge ::

CEO Tyret says:
:: Arrives on the bridge ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks over to the Commander and then to U'Tahn. ::   U'Tahn:  Actually you are correct, we were uncertain of the effects your planet would have on us so it is always a good idea to keep a medical kit nearby.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: The  areas are clear. Proceed with the gamma ray sweep.

CNS Martin says:
@:: Watches the insectoid carefully, listening to its tone of voice as it speaks, thinking of all the possibilities that could be running through the creatures head as it speaks with the XO ::

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Nods ::   CMO: A wise precaution when entering the unknown. However, let me put your fears to rest.  The air here is an oxygen-nitrogen mix.

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to Shras and begins the sweep ::   CEO: While the sweep is continuing, let me run my idea past you.

Host U`Tahn says:
@CMO: And this planet was actually settled by friends of my people

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Alright.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Wonders if he should do any of the talking. ::   U'Tahn:  Friends of your people?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Ears perk up at the mention of "friends"...do they have allies we don't know about? ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Friends? Can you tell me about those friends

CSO Lane says:
CEO: We need to shut down that anomaly so that the particles stop attacking our systems right?

Host U`Tahn says:
@CMO: And it is good you are a doctor.  I care for many of our sick friends.  In fact, if I can impose upon you, there are some critical patients in the room next door...if you will take a look at them...

CEO Tyret says:
:: Sits at the Engineering station ::   CSO: Right.

Host U`Tahn says:
@All: Yes, friends of my people.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks over to Commander Stricker. ::

XO Stricker says:
@CMO: Of course doctor.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Who are they?

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Well it's clear that we don't have enough power on our own...so...get my drift yet?

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Sir, may I accompany the doctor?

CMO Bannister says:
@XO:  With your permission sir, I'd like to bring Counselor Martin with me.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: What about with our escorts?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Who are whom?

XO Stricker says:
@CTO: You say here with me.   CMO/CNS: You two can go together.

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Aye Sir

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: The friends you speak of. Who are they?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Nods and gets up to go to the next room. ::

CNS Martin says:
@:: Raises an eyebrow, not sure how she can be of help, but follows the Doctor to the next room ::

Host U`Tahn says:
@CMO: You will take a left when you exit my room.  Go to the end of the hall to the double doors.  They are there

CTO Varn says:
@:: Moves back to his spot by the door ::

CMO Bannister says:
@ U'Tahn:  I will see what I can do.   :: Smiles and exits the room with Trial. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Grins ::   CEO: Bingo! I can reconfigure our deflector to direct gamma particles at the anomaly, and if we can get the other three ships to do the same...

CNS Martin says:
@:: Nods at the insectoid with a smile as she follows the doctor out ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks back at Trial and smiles at her as he walks down the hall. ::   CNS:  I suppose I should have brought a med kit for you as well.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Lets implement this plan immediately.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Our friends became nomads, wondering this sector of the universe.  With your home planet close by, I'm surprised you didn't run into any of them

CSO Lane says:
CEO: I'll get to work on the modifications if you can notify the others of the plan.

CTO Varn says:
@:: The shackles on the back of his neck stand up, this U'Tahn is tricky ::

CNS Martin says:
@:: Shrugs ::   CMO: I'm sure they'll have medical equipment suited to their species here, who's to say our equipment would be of any use to these people?

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Perhaps...our computer's scanned two species on your planet here, are your friends the second species?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Power flickers again throughout the Vesuvius...

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I will.   :: Notifies the other ships of the plan and orders them to precede to start preparing to implement it ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Nods and turns the corner. ::   CNS:  Very true.  I figured you would be of more use to help me with the sick than in there with the Commander, considering you do have medical training.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Yes.  I care for the ill of their kind

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: How do you do that?

CEO Tyret says:
:: Activates emergency generators and cuts off non essential stuff and dumps it into the shields ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees the power flicker again ::   CEO: Check on the status of the sweep please.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Vesuvius receives communications from the other ships that they are experiencing power problems throughout their ships and are unable to assist at the moment...

CNS Martin says:
@:: Grimaces ::   CMO: Psychology of the mind can be quite different than the physiology of the body doctor ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Stops before entering the room. ::   CNS:  Well we'll have two different medical fronts to draw upon then.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: I do the best I can with what supplies are delivered

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: Of course, hopefully it will serve us well

CEO Tyret says:
:: Sends the other ships the info needed to that helped the Vesuvius and orders them to implement it immediately ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Shield strength increases, but it does not stop the particles from penetrating...

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Do the others work for you planet?

CNS Martin says:
@:: Motions for the doctor to go in first ::   CMO: After you

XO Stricker says:
@:: Turns and whispers to the CTO ::   CTO: Everything ok?

CEO Tyret says:
:: Reconfigures the shields to block out the particles ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Vesuvius receives another communications from the other ships that they are experiencing power problems throughout their ships and are unable to assist at the moment...

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Enters the room. ::   CNS:  Thank you.   :: Looks around for the sick V'Rax. ::

CNS Martin says:
@:: Follows, and looks around as well ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Whispering ::   XO: So far Sir...something just doesn't smell right here

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: As the CMO and CNS enter, they see many beds with patients on them...

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: The other ships can't help.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: What doesn't?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The reconfiguration is not enough to stop the penetration of the particles...

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at the FCO ::   FCO: Lore, back us off to maximum orbital distance. Make sure that the away team can still be transported up if need be.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Whispering ::   XO: Sir there's just something in the air...I can't tell yet, but I don't trust U'Tahn

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  First Dragons, now Insects.... I see too many amazing things in space.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Quickly, generate gamma particles through the shields.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: What do you suggest we do? Keep asking questions? Are we at risk?

CNS Martin says:
@:: Smiles ::   CMO: One can see many amazing things when serving in Star Fleet

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The FCO backs the Vesuvius off to the maximum orbital distance...

CEO Tyret says:
:: Reconfigures the shields to emit gamma rays ::

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: As for these beings, the V'Rax I assume, well, they're certainly something new...

CTO Varn says:
@:: Whispering back ::   XO: U'Tahn's trying to catch you off guard Sir...just be very careful in how you answer

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The configurations to the shields do not work and the particles continue to penetrate shields...

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Walks towards one of the bed and pulls out his tricorder.  He slowly scans the body laying on the bed. ::   CNS:  Yes indeed.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: It's not going to be enough without the other ships assisting. We need another plan.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: The others work?  Sir, they are too ill to work

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We need to move away and regroup.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Sighs and then whispers back ::   CTO: If anything comes up, stop me and we'll see if we can beam back.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: I mean the other species, do they work for you?

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Aye Sir   :: Whispers ::

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Contact Commander Stricker and tell him what's happening. I'll try and find another way.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Continues to scan the V'Rax ::   CNS:  This species, despite their outer appearance, remind me much of Gallamites, especially with their transparent exoskeleton.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Power fails on two of the escort ships. The Rapier and the Javelin go dark...

CNS Martin says:
@:: Looks over the Doctors shoulder at his tricorder ::   CMO: I'm not too familiar with the Gallamites, but I'll assume they're as intriguing to see as the V'Rax

CEO Tyret says:
FCO/CSO: Move us out the system, we need to lock on the other two escort ships and get them to where we can prepare a plan.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: The only other species here are too ill to work

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  Gallamites have transparent heads.   :: Smiles. ::   Quite interesting to see one wearing a Starfleet Uniform.   :: Points to some of the organs. ::   Look at how you can see the internal organs.  Extraordinary!  I wonder if their clear exoskeleton serves a purpose.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Can you tell me why they are ill?

CEO Tyret says:
*XO*: We are gonna have to leave you. Particles are destroying our chances of remaining powered.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: I do not understand why they are ill

XO Stricker says:
*CEO:* Leave us? Say again Ensign?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Shras ::   CEO: Excuse me Shras, but I believe I am in command here.
FCO: Belay that.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Do you have doctors?

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO: Belayed, sir

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I meant that’s what we need to plan for. I can do nothing against the buildup, and the two escorts have no power and need to have power before they get pulled in the atmosphere.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Moves over to a nearby computer to try and get information about V'Rax physiology. ::

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We need to get them out of here and regroup.

XO Stricker says:
*CSO:* Commander Stricker to the Vesuvius, what's going on up there?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: My people have doctors, but they are unable to find the cause of the illness that plagues our friends.  I have none here, for this is where the most critical are sent to die

CEO Tyret says:
*XO*: We are experiencing major technical difficulties.

CNS Martin says:
@:: Wanders down the rows of V'Rax, not allowing her nausea of seeing their insides, to show on her face ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Is this some kind of morgue?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Needs to talk to the Dr. when he gets done ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: After a few minutes of trying to find his way through some files, he finds some information although it is limited. ::   CNS:  It appears as if the V'Rax exoskeleton is required for them to survive.  If this is so, I wonder why they are so ill.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Morgue?  No...

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: If we don't move, two of our escorts will be lost.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: But people are send here to die? You mean this planet?

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: Commander, this is Commander Lane. Our CEO got a little carried away here. We are being bombarded by some extra-dimensional energy particles and it's affecting our power systems. The Rapier and the Javelin have lost power and are on emergency backups.

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: perhaps there's something in the atmosphere here that’s causing damage to their exoskeletons?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: This planet used to be their home world before they became nomadic

XO Stricker says:
*CSO:* Is it any treat to the ship's primary systems?

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: How long ago was that?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Something happened here.  There are very little resources left

CTO Varn says:
@Self: Good now we know

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: We are maximum orbital range, but our shields are not stopping the penetration.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We need an option.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: It was a long, long time ago...I believe nearly 200 years, if not more

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  It doesn't say anything in their computer databanks.  The Doctors…if there are any here, must not know what is wrong with them either.  We should run more scans.   :: Looks around to see if there are any really good scanners in the room. ::

XO Stricker says:
@*CSO:* Can we beam back in case of an emergency?

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: Affirmative sir. We need to leave this area of space.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: And what happened to your friends and their resources?

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: Or perhaps the Nacandarians have something to do with it...although I'd prefer not to come to that conclusion

Host U`Tahn says:
ACTION: Power again flickers throughout the Vesuvius...

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Do we have transporters?

XO Stricker says:
*CMO/CNS:* Prepare to beam back to the Vesuvius.   CTO: Ready?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Personally, I do not know

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Aye Sir I'm ready

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I strongly recommend not using them. If the power goes out during operation...   :: Lets it hang ::

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: We need to return to our ship, thank you for you hospitality

CMO Bannister says:
@*XO*:  Commander, I can't just leave these people here.  I have to find out what's wrong with them.

CEO Tyret says:
:: Checks the transporter system ::

XO Stricker says:
@*CSO:* Beam us back ASAP Commander.

Host U`Tahn says:
@:: Antenna wiggles with concern ::   XO: Problem?

CNS Martin says:
@:: Frowns, wondering why they have to return so suddenly ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   CEO: Agreed. Have a shuttle readied.

CEO Tyret says:
:: Orders a shuttle readied ::

XO Stricker says:
@*CMO:* If we don't beam out of this the ship will loose all it's power and we will be stranded. Prepare to beam back to the ship.

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: Sir, we can't trust the transporters with these power fluctuations. We’ll send a shuttle to your location.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We can launch that shuttle. But we must move fast.

CMO Bannister says:
@*XO*:  I'm not going to leave these people to die when I may be able to help them...sir.

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Sir, if the transporters are not…   :: Stops when he hears Cmdr Lane ::

CNS Martin says:
@*XO*: If there's a danger to the Vesuvius loosing power, who's to say they won't loose power while they're beaming us back?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: A message from the shuttle bay informs the bridge all shuttles are without power...

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: All shuttles now have no power.

XO Stricker says:
@*CMO:* Listen doc, a shuttle is now coming for us, you will leave them. I know how it seems but we have to go. That is a direct order now doc.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: What?

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We must leave them. We have no choice. Shuttles are dead.

XO Stricker says:
@*CSO:* ETA on the shuttle Commander?

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: Negative on the shuttle Commander. They seem to have lost all power as well.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: If we don't leave now, we may not be able to leave.

XO Stricker says:
@*CMO:* Stand by for further orders.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Grumbles. ::   *XO*:  Forgive me if I make an official protest to your orders, sir.

XO Stricker says:
@CSO:* What are your options?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Warp and impulse engines go offline...

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Grabs his tricorder and scans the V'Rax as best as he can. ::

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Get to the shuttle bay and get one of those ships ready. I don't care what you have to do but I want a shuttle down there as soon as you can manage it.

XO Stricker says:
@*CMO:* Belay the direct order, you and the CNS stand by.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Warp power and impulse are offline as I predicted. We waited too long.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: There is nothing I can do.

CMO Bannister says:
@Self:  Always in a hurry...they don't realize that the practice of medicine takes time.
:: Shakes his head.  He then notices something on his tricorder and it beeps loudly a few times. ::

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: Commander, we are trying to find a way to power up one of the shuttles.   :: Hears Shras ::   Sir, we've just lost all power to our engines.

Host U`Tahn says:
@ XO: Is there trouble with your ship?

CNS Martin says:
@:: Puts a hand on the Doctors shoulder ::   CMO: Calm down now doctor, obviously we can't do anything right now, and since the orders been belayed we can use the time to gather as much information as we can to bring back to the ship where you have the facilities to study the data in detail without having to figure out an alien computer system.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Yes we are experiencing some problems. Do you know whats going on?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Does a few quick stretches to make sure he's ready for anything now ::

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Get on this. Find power somewhere.

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: This system is very...unusual

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: What type of power to your engines run on?

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We must leave now. Be prepared to leave.

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  There is something unusual with this patient.   :: Re-scans it to make sure what he is getting is true. ::

CEO Tyret says:
:: Diverts power to the impulse engines ::

XO Stricker says:
@*CSO:* Ok Commander, if you have to use full thruster power then do so. The ship is more important. Leave us if you have to.

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: Unusual? What do you mean?

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Start with shutting down all non essential systems and consolidate the crew to odd decks and shut down the even ones.

CEO Tyret says:
:: Diverts power to the thrusters and does the as the CSO orders ::

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Give priority to life support and sickbay.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: I'm not an engineer, so just regular engines.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Lets start moving. We got to….

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  I'm picking up a strange energy reading coming from his body...the readings are off the scale, as if they are not from this dimension.   :: Scratches his head in thought. ::

XO Stricker says:
CTO: We still ok Mister Varn?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Just regular engines?  How do they get their power?

CSO Lane says:
*XO*: We're still working on the problem sir. Hang on.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Did as you ordered.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: Honestly I'm not really sure...

CTO Varn says:
@XO: I've not noticed anything yet Sir   :: Whispers ::   Careful Sir

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Good. What are the power readings now?

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Not good. We gotta go. No more stalling…

CNS Martin says:
@:: Her eyebrows raise up under her bangs ::   CMO: Not from this dimension?   :: Comes and takes a look for herself ::

XO Stricker says:
@*CSO:* We're standing by but first priority is too the ship Commander. Get her out of orbit first. Understood?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Do you not have someone you can ask on your ship?

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I can't keep this up for long.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: We have mechanics yes, they are working on the problem.

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  Yes, the particles are charged with an energy I'm not familiar with.  Didn't Commander Lane detect strange energy readings earlier as well?

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: You got a really bad feeling don't you?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Then shouldn't one of them be able to tell you how your engines are run?

CSO Lane says:
CEO: We can't leave orbit on thrusters alone.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Whispering ::   XO: I do Sir, I have since we got close to this planet

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: I would guess but they are taking care if it up there.

CEO Tyret says:
:: Adjusts the Bussard ramscoop to use the particles as energy ::

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: You're not empathic are you?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: Then perhaps I cannot be of any help, if you do not wish to tell me how your engines get their energy

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I can't give you nothing else.

CTO Varn says:
@XO: No sir, it's more my canine senses...it's not easy to explain   :: Whispering ::

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We got to go even if it is on thrusters.

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: I don't mean to sound disrespectful sir but I am sure my engineers will solve the problem.

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Let's try full thrusters and break orbit.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: Because you know, I could really use an empath right about now...so you're sure eh?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Thrusters are inoperable...

CTO Varn says:
@XO: I'm sorry Sir, you'll just have to settle for a suspicious dog   :: Grins, whispering ::

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  The quantum signature of the particles are also strange.   :: Scans the patient, then the Counselor just to see something. ::

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We are dead in the water.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: We should gone when we had the power.

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: I once had a dog as a kid...anyways, keep reading the facility. I hope we can get out of here.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Like that's news?   :: Shrugs ::

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Aye Sir, I'm all ears and eyes!   :: Whispering and smiling again ::

CNS Martin says:
@:: Gives the doctor a funny look ::   CMO: Why scan me?

Host U`Tahn says:
@XO: As you say.  However, I do know there are reasons for things happening.  I may be able to help.  However, if you do not wish to give me the information I require, then I cannot help you

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Can we use the anomaly?

XO Stricker says:
@:: Whispers ::   CTO: I trust those ears.

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: Can we use it to power us?

CTO Varn says:
@XO: Thank you Sir

XO Stricker says:
@U'Tahn: How about you tell me how to fix my ship, in exchange for some medial supplies? My doctor, I am sure, will find a cause and help your friends back to health.

CMO Bannister says:
@CNS:  Usually, humanoids have similar quantum signatures.  You and I for example are pretty close...this V’Rax, however, is unlike anything I've ever seen before.  It's as if they were created differently.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: How? The anomaly has drained all our power. We need help from another source. Contact the Commander and see if there is someone there that can help us.

CNS Martin says:
@CMO: Interesting...but how does that help us?

CEO Tyret says:
CSO: I doubt we have the power to.

CSO Lane says:
CEO: Well try anyway.

CEO Tyret says:
:: Tries ::
