Summary - The U.S.S. Scimitar have found themselves in an unusual situation indeed. With the loss of several of their senior staff, the crew has picked up a small group of survivors from the U.S.S. Aventura.

On top of that, the crew has stumbled upon a nebula which appears to be a sort of gateway tot he Klingon netherworld...and are faced with a terrified Klingon crew...

What is the significance of these "gates," why do the they scare the Klingons so, and what was the Aventura doing in this system...only time will tell...

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Coming to in Sickbay:: All: Where am I?
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Listening to the Hum of the Lift::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::In the TIC, repairing one of the consoles::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::in sickbay really depressed::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::Standing quietly in the turbolift, unsuspectingly about to go on duty. ::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::feels Zin in his mind:: CNS: This feels quite strange.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO: You're first assignment?
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::in the cargobay with the CMO:: CMO: Well what did you think it would feel like?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: CNS: Strange. ::carefully sits up::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::grumbles to himself and messes with his console::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
Onnotangu: I need to know what happened to Zin, but we need to get back to the Aventura.
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::In sickbay, holding an abrasion on his arm so the bleeding will stop, and hoping that his nose isn't broken, only bruised::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::on the bridge of the Scimitar, reading up on the repair schedules and glancing at the Aventura's recent whereabouts::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::helps the CMO set up:: CMO: Take it slow, we don’t want you to rip anything
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Begins sitting up, looking around for someone::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: First bridge assignment sir.  After the incident...  ::fades into silence, not sure what to say::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
:: in sickbay treating the injured Aventura crew.::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
MO: Can you tell me about the Zin Symbiont's status?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
<Nurse> ::Comes over to Enki::  CSO: Please, calm down, you're on the Scimitar.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO: Incident?  ::Hears the lift stop:: Hm.. Tell about it after your shift.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
Nurse: The Scimitar... ::Lays back down slightly::  I dreamt I was elsewhere.  Am I fit for duty again?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gently touches his side:: CNS: No matter how many times its happened before, it feels strange. I remember the first time Elrena joined with Zin and she... Oh. That's stranger.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CMO: It seems the symbiont and your system has adjusted for the time being, but I don't think you should be running around here doing all kinds of work either
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Nods, and whispers making sure no one is nearby listening to them:: Keindar: I can tell you, but not here. AS soon as we're both treated, we've gotta get out of here.
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: I’m not sure if I should.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::smiles at the CMO, for the symbiont’s memories seem to be filling his head::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::sighs as his console stops responding, very close to bashing it with his fist:: Self: Stupid thing....
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::nods at Onnotangu::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CNS: Aye, doctor. ::smiles:: I'll be careful. Just load me a few hypos with the immunosuppressants.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO: Alright.. if it is uncomfortable for you.
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: Thank you Sir.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::picks up the hypo and hands it to the CMO:: CMO: Already done.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets off the table:: CNS: I need to speak to Lt Keindar.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
<Nurse> ::Scans the CSO once over and nods::  CSO: If you keep have visions you're elsewhere, see the Counselor.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CMO: As you wish but I am coming with you, I am not going to have you die right after I performed surgery, ::smiles:: those kind of things don't look good on a service recorded you know
CO_Capt_Black says:
::stands from his chair as he sees OPS enter the bridge and nods::  OPS: Lieutenant, how're things with the Aventura crew...?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks as the previous host's memories come clearly.:: CNS: Sure, but its imperative that I speak with her now. ::starts for the doors::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::Walks over to the tactical station and examines what is going on::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::grabs a med kit and follows the CMO::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::touches his head as a headache starts to form::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Nods to the nurse, and slides off the biobed.  After checking that she looks alright, outwardly, she decides to head for the Bridge::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Heads down to OPS:: CO: Captain.  The Doctors are looking them at.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CMO: What is so important that you speak with her now, ::sees the CMO touching his head and figures the headaches are starting::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
MO: So... I don't feel so bad, can I and Lt Onnotangu return to the Aventura?
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: They are resting in the cargobay.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CNS: I can't tell you. ::frowns again:: *CSO*: Varesh to Enki.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  OPS: Very well, check with engineering and see what their analysis of the Aventura's current condition has brought up.... we'll have to determine if we can temp command it to the next SB or tow it there...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Two Lt's: So how are you two feeling? ::Checks them over with a medical tricorder::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Takes a phase calibrator, and tries to put some of the parts of the console back into alignment::

ACTION - The U.S.S. Scimitar hangs in space on the edge of the Mikradoren system. In their grasp, the Aventura floats in space, held tight in a tractor beam. Along side them, the Eridanus and Chen'ava hover at a safe distance, conducting minor repairs...

ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
MO: I feel good... I am just worried about Zin,
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::walks as fast as he can to sickbay::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and walks past the center area:: CO: Captain.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Lt_Keinder: Which is only natural, well I see nothing wrong apart from some minor injuries, report back to your duties.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::glares for a second and then thumps his fist down on the fading console screen:: Self: That’s it! That’s the last time I try and fix something that’s broken!
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
*CMO*: Yes, Doctor?
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  ::Taps his console, starts scanning the Aventura::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::keeps up with the CMO, but wonders what could be so important::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves back onto the command circle again, glancing at the viewscreen, then at the CSO and nods::  CSO: Welcome back, Lieutenant...  ::smiles::  the medical staff gave you a clean bill of health ?
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::sees nothing ominous on the scans, so relaxes... a little::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu: Lieutenant? How are you feeling? ::Checks the Lt with a med tricorder::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
MO: I'm fine. Give me something to stop the bleeding and I'll get out of your hair.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CO: Yes, Captain.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CSO*: I need to speak with you about your joining... as soon as possible. Your duties will come first, but it is quite important.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Gets up and powers up the console, finding it working again::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Furrows her brows, not sure what's going on::  *CMO*: Understood.  I am on the Bridge now.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::mutters and walks around the TIC, trying to find a working console::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::Looks around the bridge, figuring out who to report to:: CO: Nothing terribly ominous around, but I am detecting increased radiation levels in the nebula.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CNS: I bet if you 'read' me now, you'll find an odd double presence. ::smiles slightly and turns the corner near sickbay::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Takes a look around, and notices an officer walking around, apparently searching for something::
CO_Capt_Black says:
CSO: Excellent... take your station...  ::gestures::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*CSO*: I'll tell you when you get down here.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::smiles:: CMO: I don't have to read you to know that,
CO_Capt_Black says:
TO: Acknowledged...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CO: Captain, permission to leave the Bridge?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Lt_Onno: I’ll tell you what you need Lieutenant ::seals up the wound with a dermal regenerator:: off you go Lieutenant.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles:: CNS: Implying MPD, Counselor?
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::sets a gauge to measure radiation levels on the Scimitar::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns slightly::  CSO: Make it quick, Lieutenant...
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::waits for Onnotangu to be done::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::finds a console, which is turned on and tries it out, logging in and checking ship status::

ACTION - A minor burst of energy accidentally gets routed to the TIC, and in a brief instant, three of the wall consoles explode and are left inoperative.

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CO: Understood, sir.  *CMO*: I'm on my way back down...
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::smiles and just follows the CMO into sickbay::
CO_Capt_Black says:
OPS: Mr. Taylor, open a channel to the Eridanus and Commander Xia...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::falls back on his butt as the console in front of him explodes:: Self: Dammit!
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::enters sickbay and almost walks slap, bang into Keindar.:: Keindar: We have to talk. Now.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves closer to the viewscreen::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::notices the three consoles explode and sighs::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Enters a turbolift, and rides back down towards Sickbay.  The computer will soon begin questioning her movements::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Captain.  The Aventura is in bad shape there are multiple hull breaches, Nacelles are torn.... Comm. signal Aye. ::Opens a channel::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Walks over to one of the consoles, finding the CIV on the way:: CIV: Are you okay, sir?
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CMO: I... um... ::looks at him a bit puzzled:: Do I know you?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::stands up slowly and dusts himself off, cursing quietly:: EO: Pardon? Umm, yes. Yes I’m fine...I just need a working console, preferably one which does not explode in my face
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  OPS: Understood...  check with engineering and have an engineering team get over there and seal them... we need them sealed if we're supposed to tow them at warp...
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Keindar: You could call me Varesh Zin. I must speak with you about the... ::he pauses:: tests.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Points at the one he just repaired:: CIV: That one's working. Good luck. ::Opens the access hatch for the console controls::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::refocuses his attention the viewscreen::  COM: Eridanus: This Captain Black from the U.S.S. Scimitar, come in please...
Cmdr_Xia says:
COM: Scimitar: This the Eridanus, what can I do for you, Captain?
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::blinks:: CMO: Understood. Where would you like to go... I have Onnotangu with me....
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
Self: Bah! ::Walks over to the replicator and orders himself a glass of milk::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::Watches her reaction::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Jumps from the biobed, momentarily looking to Lieutenant Keindar, then back to the MO:: MO: It's about time. ::Is about to leave when he sees Keindar speaking with someone who looks familiar. It clicks that it's Varesh::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::sighs happily and smiles:: EO: You are a lifesaver, thank you. ::turns and heads for the working console::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::looks at the young Lt::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Arrives on the proper deck, and walks into Sickbay, looking for Varesh::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Aye captain... *Engineering*: Have an Engineering team ready for Transport to the Aventura.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Clenches fists, tries to control his anger::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::holds up his hand at Keindar:: MO: Mister Kerak. Control your temper this instant. ::an unmistakable steel of command touches his voice::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::senses some concern from the Aventura crew, but figures it is over the Zin symbiont::
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Xia::  COM: Eridanus: Commander, we're currently doing repairs on the Scimitar and Aventura.... after that we will proceed to the nearest Starbase and load the Aventura and the Zin Symbiont off....  can you handle the situation here alone...?
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::looks over at the MO as the CMO yells at him::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Hears Varesh's voice, and zeros into his location, and walks closer::
Cmdr_Xia says:
COM: Scimitar: I believe so Captain. With the assistance of the Klingons, we should be able to complete the survey and rendezvous with you in a few days...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Yes sir! ::Mocks a salute and gets back to some minor injuries::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::crouches into the hatch, and goes to search for the problem source::

ACTION - The comm. line flickers slightly - Duclos must be running repairs on their comm. lines. Silly engineers and working on things at the wrong time.

ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Steps up behind Lieutenant Keindar, looking big and aggressive as usual::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks around as several people converge on him, suddenly reminded of a large party his first host attended and she was the talk of the town because of her astrophysics paper she had delivered::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Ends up next to the Counselor::  CNS: What's going on, Commander?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles faintly::  COM: Eridanus: Excellent Commander...  ::notices the glitches::  We'll see you at the nearest Starbase in a few days then.... we'll notify you when we'll leave...
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles to himself, considerably happier, and works on his console::
Cmdr_Xia says:
COM: Scimitar: Understood. See you soon, Captain. Eridanus out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::sighs:: CSO: Well, I just put a Trill symbiont into the CMO, I believe it is known as Zin.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Hits his console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::turns to Enki: I need some advice from you... I'm temporary host for the Zin symbiont. But I need to speak with his former crewmates.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::motions for the MO to come over::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Looks at the Counselor::  CNS: There were no available Trill hosts on any nearby ships?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Sees some fused power relays, then let his head land on the ground pretty hard:: Self: Oh no!
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
Self: What is next?  The replicator?
CO_Capt_Black says:
::as the viewscreen goes black he turns to OPS::  OPS: Lieutenant...what's the status of those engineering teams...are they ready to beam over and get things in order there ?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CNS: Please explain further for a moment. ::pulls Keindar and Onnotangu into his office.::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
CO: With the radiation levels out there still increasing, I would recommend EVA suits.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CSO: I am not sure, I assume not since we rushed to get the symbiont into the CMO,
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Stands, breathing slowly, meanwhile emitting a raspy sound as the breaths go in and out. He notes that the CMO is going to his office, and follows::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
MO: Ensign come here, please
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Checks Team status:: CO: Aye. Captain.  Transporter Room Indicates Engineering Repair Team ready for transport.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Walks up to the CNS:: CNS: Yes sir
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::goes into the CMO's office::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Keindar/Onnotangu: You have one minute to explain to me why I shouldn't tell my captain about the tests.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  OPS: Very good, Lieutenant...
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CNS: I hate to be the worrywart here, but do you know what joining a symbiont with a non-Trill can do, Commander?  Did you think about stasis, or a symbiont bath at all?

ACTION - The Operations console blinks a few times with an incoming hail...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::hands the MO a PADD:: MO: This contains all the info about the surgery I performed on Commander Varesh, I want you to keep an eye on him. Please let me know if anything unusually happens.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Crawls out of the hatch, closes it up again, and goes to search for some new power relays::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CMO: You should know why if you truly carry the Zin Symbiont. ::crosses her arms::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CNS: Sure Ill keep a eye on the CMO ::Smiles::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Looks at his console:: CO: Incoming hail. :: Taps his console:: It is Vice Admiral Haydes
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Merely snorts in assent to Keindar's statement::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::nods to the CSO:: CSO: Yes, Lt I do.  I that there is to long of a time gap  to put the symbiont into stasis, and I don’t know how to make a bath

ACTION - Pandora gets a signal from Engineering, his presence is requested on a team being sent to the Aventura.

CO_Capt_Black says:
OPS: Understood... I'll take it in my readyroom... see to it that nobody disturbs me while I'm there...  ::heads into the RR::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Keindar: We could debate this for hours, but I'm not your old CEO, and if I think I should, I will report the situation. These people don't know what they are being let in for.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Skims over the PADD::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
MO: Good, make sure nothing happens to him
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::Sends the message to the ready room::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CMO: The tests are secret for a reason... you know
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CNS: I'm surprised the CMO didn't know how to make a bath... he should be prepared for that situation, should anything... ::trails off::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Mumbles an acknowledgement towards the CNS, puts the PADD down on a free surface and grabs his glass of milk::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters:: Keindar: Yes, I know... as confusing as it is to sort out the reasons between all the other memories. I'll hold off for now.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CSO: Well I believe that is where you come in, I think that is why he called you down here. ::looks at the MO, and hopes the ensign will do his job with out getting into a fight with someone::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Hears Engineering's message:: *Engineering*: On my way to transporter room 2. ::Heads of, nodding to the CIV on the way out::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
CSO/MO: My work is done, ::looks the ensign:: he is in your hands. I am going back to the bridge, I am sure the Captain would like to know what is going on
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods back to the engineer who helped him with the console and turns back to it, grumbling to himself about the security team on Deck 4 who should be 8 decks lower::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Keindar/Onnotangu: Dismissed. See what you can do to help with the repairs to the Aventura. I have to speak with someone else. ::turns and leaves without waiting for a reply.::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Nods at the CNS::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::taps buttons on his console::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::turns to Onnotangu, shrugs::

ACTION - Sensors on the bridge, and in the TIC show movement from the Klingon vessel...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::sees the CMO come out of his office and nods for the MO so he knows also, then he turns and leaves sickbay::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
CO: Sir.  I am detecting movement on the Klingon vessel.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
Onnotangu: Well I suppose we'd better get into some EVA suits and see about repairs.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: So how are you doing sir? How’s that thing inside you?
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::walks up to Enki:: CSO: I know you are concerned, but there were reasons for what I did.
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Continues watching the CMO until he's out of sight, then turns to Keindar:: Keindar: He'd better keep his mouth shut, or I'll have fun hunting such large prey... ::Trails off::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::starts as he notices the blinking light, and remembers that this is the TIC. Stepping over to that console he checks it and taps his comm. badge:: *CO*: Sir, I’m detecting movement in the Klingon vessel down here
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::once in side the TL, he orders it to the Bridge.  As the doors close he lets out a sigh:: Self: Well that was fun
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO/*CIV*: Where is she going?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Listens to the CMO, waiting for those reasons::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at Kerak:: MO: Zin is just fine, thanks. ::glances over his shoulder at Onnotangu::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::nods::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
CMO: Zin? They have names? ::Look of surprise on his face::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
Keindar: Let's suit up and get going. ::Leaves the CMO's office and Sickbay::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Arrives at TR2::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge and looks around for the Captain::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
*OPS*: ::checks his console again:: They are heading to the Nebula...I think
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: Sir, The Klingon ship is powering engines and heading into the nebula.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Firstly, as you know symbionts do not do well in stasis units, and we're more than three hours from the nearest base.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::follows along with Onnotangu::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
OPS: Where is the Captain?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::thumps his console with a fist and nods:: *OPS*: The Nebula, no more thinking about it
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Thinks:: CMO: I would tend to disagree with that... symbionts really aren't as fragile as you think.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
COM: Chen'ava: What are you doing?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CMO: Or, Commander, I should say they're not as fragile as Trill leads you to believe
KCO_K`orva says:
#COM: Scimitar: I go to investigate Romulan activity. I swear we detected them in our spiritual ground. K'apla !
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: Secondly, the symbiont would not have survived in a bath of the breading pool’s fluids - however expertly replicated - and a host body has a better chance of blocking the radiation.

ACTION - Just so you can picture this, Keindar, a small petite, 1.5 m Trill female, and Onnotangu, a large burly Antican tactical officer, both standing in a Starfleet sickbay. Quite an interesting sight...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::starts moving towards the CO's ready room, waiting for the OPS to tell him if he is in there or not::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CNS: Counselor, Captain is not to be disturbed.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: I know for a fact that symbionts cannot be kept in stasis for longer than three hours without it suffering degradation.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
COM: Chen'ava: Romulans?  You gotta be joking?
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Makes his way to the nearest transporter room. He gets two EVA suits, and tosses one to Keindar:: Keindar: Suit up, and let's go.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::starts running scans on the Nebula to see what he can find and what the Klingons might want::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::suits up::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO: Scan the Nebula for Romulans
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::looks at the OPS and thinks for a moment,:: OPS: Where is Lt. Exeter?
KCO_K`orva says:
#COM: Scimitar: OPS No ! Klingons never joke  KOPS: End Transmission and cloak the vessel !
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: What's done is done, and when things get bad, we can try it your way. Right now, I need your help with these memories that flood my mind at the smallest memory trigger.
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: Sir, can detect no signs of Romulan activity within the nebula
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CMO: Well, there's always neural suppressants.

ACTION - The Klingon ship can be seen vanishing in space as its cloak is activated and it soars into the Mikradoren nebula.

OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
COM: Chen'ava: We see no Romulan Activity!  Get back here!
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Checks to make sure everything is working nominally on his and Keindar's suits, then steps up to the transporter pad::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::walks over to the Tactical Display thingy that looks like a table and does the holograms before turning it on, thumping it once or twice to get it working::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
::in his quarters  napping::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::steps up to the transporter pad, then sees the TR Chief shake his head, he won't transport them::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::hears the OPS speaking with the Klingons, and decides to go a head to the RR::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CNS: Lt. Exeter is in his Quarters.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: I'd prefer not to use anything else than the immunosuppressants that I have to use already. Trill physiology is very incompatible with any other species and I don't want to harm Zin in any way.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::watches the holographic Klingon vessel shimmering out of sight and entering the holographic nebula::

ACTION - One of the Aventura crew comes up to Kerak, he's feeling dizzy and without warning the young man gets sick on Kerak's shoes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::stops before buzzing the RR doors:: OPS: Could you get him up here, I am sure he would want to know about the Klingons
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CNS: Counselor....  Captain is with Admiral Haydes.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::turns and moves back to his chair and takes a seat::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
::wakes up and yawns:: self: I believe I should have been on duty.
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::His lips curl up, showing his enlarged canines. He takes a few large strides towards the Transporter chief, and swings his fist to knock him unconscious::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
*AXO*: Sir, get up here.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
*AXO*: Sir.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Clenches fists:: Patient: Please return... to your ... bed... ::A small vein is pulsating above Kerak’s right eye::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
Self: At least this thing is working...::thumps it again as a few holographic images fade in and out::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
*OPS*: next time ask nicely, Mr. Taylor
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sees the crewman get sick and is instantly reminded of Elrena's little boy who would be 25 by now... then suppresses the thought.::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Starts humming a tune as he grabs a cloth and starts wiping his shoes::
KCO_K`orva says:
#COM: Scimitar: We now enter glorious battle! KCTO: Bring weapons to bear.... full power to weapons... fire as we decloak !
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
*AXO*: Respectfully, sir.
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
OPS: What is going on with the Klingons, why did they just cloak and take off, please don’t tell me it has something to do with that nebula?
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
::quickly  gets on a fresh uniform and heads for the bridge::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::stares blankly at Enki as memories flood his mind::
TO_Crew_Rice says:
CNS: They are claiming they have evidence of Romulan activity within the nebula.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::works the controls on the transporter console to do a timed beam out::

ACTION - The transporter chief goes down with a thud - he's out cold. Onno is named the heavyweight champion of the universe...I think.

CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::continues running scans on the nebula, grumbling to himself:: *Bridge*: I am still getting nothing from that nebula. Just Radiation and a cloaked Klingon vessel
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::sighs:: OPS: Let me guess we haven’t picked up anything let alone a Romulan?
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS: The Klingons are preparing to fire, Sir.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::steps back on the pad:: Onno: I think we can get ourselves beamed over now.... get on the pad.
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
::Looks at the console, stepping over the collapsed body, then looks back at Keindar:: Keindar: It's ready to go. ::Quickly steps to his transporter pad, and awaits to be beamed over::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::looks back at the TO:: TO: At us?
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CMO: There's... I can't remember the name of it at the moment.  There's a drug that blocks the neural connection between host and symbiont.
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
::arrives on the bridge:: OPS: Status update?

ACTION - In a swirling blue light, Keindar and Onnotangu are beamed aboard the U.S.S. Aventura - at the same time a series of signals come up on the Operations board.

TO_Crew_Rice says:
CNS: Unknown.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
TO: Range to Klingons.  AXO: Klingons have taken off.  They have armed weapons and are going to fire.,
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Goes to the replicator to get another glass of milk::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::sees Exeter come on to the bridge::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
TO: Red alert!
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@::Materializes on the Aventura::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
AXO: We are still towing the Aventura.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::hears Enki speak but is caught up in the memories... then squashes them again:: CSO: I don't think that will be a good idea. Is there a way I can deal with this without the chemical help or not?

ACTION - The Klingon vessel decloaks inside the nebula and releases a string of weapons blasts, striking an alien hull inside the cloud of gas.

AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: Dump it!
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@::materializes and rushes at the beeping ops panel::
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
AXO: Can we not extend our shields around them as well?
TO_Crew_Rice says:
::Raises the Scimitar to red Alert.  Klaxons, wail, light flash, etc. ::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Sighs:: Self: Damn ship, always red alert! I know I should have followed my father.
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CMO: Doctor... no, not really.  When you are joined, you gain the memories... Trills under go months, even years of training.  That cannot be taught in several hours.
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Releases the Tow, grabs the Helm::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: CSO: I'll look into it. You had better get back to the bridge.
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::winces as a Red Alert light explodes above his head, showering him in glass:: *Bridge*: The Klingons have opened fire, and the shot appears to have hit....something
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Looks up as the Red Alert horns sound::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
CNS: We could, but I don't wanna
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Looks at the board::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::smiles slightly as another ship decloaks in the nebula:: *Bridge*: You gotta love those Klingons. Romulan vessel, so it appears, just decloaked in the Nebula
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
::sets back in his set, and just kind of smiles at Exeter's remark about leaving the other ship to hang out un protected::

ACTION - The Aventura is a complete and utter mess. Consoles throughout the ship have been destroyed, gases fill the corridors, and even the styrofoam roof has collapsed in some areas.

CSO_Lt_Enki says:
CMO: Yes, Commander, of course.  All I can say is that I know what you're going through... I apparently still am.  ::Begins to leave Sickbay::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@::tries to see why the panel is beeping::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Waits for the new wave of casualties to flood the Sickbay, as always seems to happen when there is a red alert::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
CICV: Dispatch a two runabouts, and order them to take the Aventura on tow to the nearest Station!
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@::Looks around at the chaos:: Self: What a mess.
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::touches Enki's arm:: CSO: Thanks... in 72 hours I won't have to deal with it anymore.
KCO_K`orva says:
#KCTO: Fire again !!  Do not stop until they are obliterated !
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::blinks at the strange commands but nods and sends a message to the Shuttlebay to have two runabouts prepped and pilots found to tow the Aventura::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@::agrees with Onnotangu, as she works the panel::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
AXO: We have a team there. We should comeback for them, sir.
TO_Crew_Rice says:
OPS/AXO: Sir, the Klingons are continuing to fire.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@Onnotangu: Auxiliary power is failing... darn it!
EO_PO_Pandora says:
::Decides he had waited long enough:: *Engineering*: Pandora to engineering, I'm waiting at the transporter room, what should I do?
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::watches the miniature holographic ships fly around in the nebula::
KCO_K`orva says:
#KCTO: I will not rest until I see them blasted into atoms.... divert all power to weapons !
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Starts humming some old Earth music he found on the computer::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: They can stay their, Just towing that ship to a safer place. I wanna know what These Klingons are doing, can't do that with a ship in tow now can I?
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Beams the team over::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Exits Sickbay quietly, and finds her way back to the turbolift, finally able to make it to the Bridge for a decent amount of time::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@::Tries to access a nearby console that isn't a pile of useless technology, and sees what he can access::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
*EO*: Sorry, about that.

ACTION - A battle scene takes place before the Scimitar, the Klingon bird of prey firing upon a supped up Romulan scout ship and vice versa. Both ships take serious damage, and the Chen'ava is rocked violently.

CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::slowly walks to his office, the place looking unfamiliar to him:: MO: Doctor, I want you to monitor my cortical activity and vital signs. I'm going to do some research in my office.
KCO_K`orva says:
#KCTO: Maintain fire... divert power from life support if you have to. They will be destroyed !
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
MO: Yes sir ::Resumes humming::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
AXO: We go in, sir?

ACTION - As ordered, the pair of runabout head out.

CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::feels happy for a moment - no idea why::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@Keindar: Main computer is still online, though it won't be for long.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
:;Sits down in front of a console which is monitoring the CMO's vital signs, starts tapping on the surface in time with the humming::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
OPS: open comm. to the Klingons!
CNS_LtCmdr_Cook says:
AXO: You could send out some fighters to go ahead and help protect the Klingons while you make sure the other ship gets towed off safely
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
::Opens a channel:: AXO: Channel open.
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@Onnotangu: What do you think we should do... ::tries to see if she can find out what's wrong with aux power::
CSO_Lt_Enki says:
::Walks out onto the Bridge, and takes in the scene::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sticks a cortical monitor on his neck, and settles behind his desk:: Computer: Save a copy of the data from monitoring of my cortical activity and vital signs to my private database.
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
CNS: I'm not butting in,  I believe this is Klingon space so I can't  butt in.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Notices that the Varesh’s neurotransmitter levels are a bit higher than normal, sees nothing to get worried about and resumes humming and drumming on the console::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::starts a search query into neural suppressants, but gets lost in the memories again::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::watches the miniature holographic runabouts head for the Aventura, tractor beams ready to be engaged he hoped:: *AXO*: Runabouts are headed out, just as ordered

ACTION - A creaking sound can be head on the bridge of the Aventura. The sound is quite loud and echoes slightly.

ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@ Onnotangu: What was that?
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@::Bashes his fists into the not working console next to the one he's currently at::
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
Com: Chen'ava: This is Lt Exeter, need any help!
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@Keindar: Don't know, but I'd bet the hull is about to splinter into little pieces.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::hears the ruckus on the bridge and closes the comm. with Admiral Haydes, then moves onto the bridge::   AXO: Report, Lieutenant...
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@::Swears loudly, though the Universal Translator has no Federation Standard equivalent to the Antican curse::

ACTION - The pair of runabouts lock onto the Aventura with their tractors and the ship lurches lightly. With inertial dampeners offline, the ship rocks and a loose support frame collapses, falling right onto Onnatongu's lower torso. Poor fellow.

ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@Onnotangu: SIF is losing power... we need to get back to the Scimitar... if we can at this point.
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
CO: The Klingons are firing on a Romulans and the Romulans are firing back. I just asked the Klingons if they needed any assistance, sir
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Stops drumming, goes to the replicator to get his 3rd glass of milk in the past hour:: Self: Id kill for some Romulan Ale right now.
CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  AXO: Very well....
CO_Capt_Black says:
TO: Raise shields and arm all weapons....   Helm: Move us closer...  OPS: Hail the Romulans....
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
*CIV*: Understood, dispatch all Fighters half to back-up the Aventura, others to scout ahead!
TO_Crew_Rice says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::makes it so, with great glee::
CIV_Ens_Delar says:
::nods and send down more order, sending Alpha and Beta wings to guard the Aventura and her runabouts with Delta team scouts forward in groups of 3::
ACTO_Lt_Onnotangu says:
@:: Screams a guttural, feral cry as a beam lands on him. He begins to claw at the thing, trying to remove it::
OPS_Lt_Taylor says:
CO: Aye.. ::Hails the Romulans::

ACTION - Pandora and his team arrive in the Aventura engine room, placed in EVA suits and safe from the radiation while they begin their repairs...

EO_PO_Pandora says:
@::Arrives at the other ship, and does whatever he had to do::
ACIV_Lt_Keindar says:
@Onnotangu: Onnotangu! Noooo! ::reaches out to no avail::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
:Sits down in front of the console, humming and drumming some more::
CMO_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::argues with himself over some astrophysics problem Zin's first host could never solve.:: Elrena: But to prove that you need to, uhm, I don't know. I'm a doctor!
AXO_Lt_Exeter says:
CO: Didn't the Romulans cross the Neutral zone to get here........
KCO_K`orva says:
# ::bellows like a banshee::

ACTION - With a lucky shot, the Romulan vessel strikes the bridge of the bird-of-prey. K'orva is sent flying from his chair and into the back wall, impaled immediately by a shard of bulkhead. As the Scimitar approaches, her fighters are drawn into the fry and several stray shots hit her shields. The battle has begun...
