<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Is on his way to the briefing room, carrying a PADD with some information he picked up on the way.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sat in the chair at the head of the table in the briefing room::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::finishes a cup of strong coffee while walking briskly to the Briefing Room::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::Enters Briefing Room::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::keeps moving down the corridor, trying to find the source of the buzzing noise::
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::sat in the briefing room::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::Sits down, and places a PADD on the table::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::having heard the XO's meeting request he quickly saves his log entry on his personal directory, grabs his PADDs and heads for the observation lounge::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enters the room, and disposes of the coffee cup, then takes his place at the table::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@Self: where is the rest of the team, shouldn't they be here by now? ::slowly keeps moving down the corridor::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Turns the corner and walks through the door to the briefing room. For once he made it there on time.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::notices the CEO enter and sit then looks up at him momentarily in recognition::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods to the OPS::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::watches his senior staff slowly gathering in the briefing room::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::leans in closer to the XO:: XO: Sir, did you get my message? 
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Looks for the next free seat and sits down in it.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::notices the Doc and nods::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: I did, I'll keep it in mind but I want to cover all our bases.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::picks up his PADD hoping the rest of the crew will arrive quickly due to the urgent situation::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Aye sir.

ACTION: One of the TO's team members disappear right before his eyes.

CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::nods at the CEO and whispers:: CEO: Oh hey there. Still have to get used to your colours there.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Nice colours. ::smiles::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::stares in amazement as the team behind him vanishes into thin air:: *XO/CTO*: We have a situation down here, I just lost a member of my team… just vanished into thin air
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Computer> Lt. Idrani: Away Team Status Change
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Permission to return to the bridge? I'd like to keep an eye on the rest of the away team.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::raises his phaser and looks around:: Self: What is going on in here
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Chuckles:: CEO: Apparently. ::Puts his PADD on the table in front of him.::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::enters the observation lounge and frowns at the TO's comm. message and glances at the XO::  *TO*: Standby...  XO: Sir, I recommend we withdraw the away team and regroup...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::looks to the CTO:: CTO: Have the remaining AT pull back to the console and stay hidden.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks to the XO for a response::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: It depends if you have any ideas to share with us on this matter.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the XO::  *TO*: Mr. K`Nargh... pull your teams back towards your entry point and lay low...  further instructions will come shortly...
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*TO*: Aye Sir ::points to his team to fall back to the console where Tac 1 is still standing watch::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO/All: After viewing the database on the Scalosians, as ordered, I can only suggest we go to intruder alert and implement the appropriate procedures.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::quickly takes a seat at the conference table::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Is that everything?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO/All: Also, we must be prepared for multiple ships and we need to find a way to detect them.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
OPS: Mr. Idrani, I've already suggested we lock out the main computer to only verbal commands from the senior staff.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CEO: Yes. A wise decision, however, I doubt it will be enough
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
OPS: It's a start... ::looks back at the XO::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: I'm not going to order an intruder alert on the off chance that there might be someone here... for all we know it may already be too late.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Understood, however I suggest we visually sweep deck by deck for anything suspicious.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: I want the Computer locked down and the transporters taken offline.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Yes sir. 
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: And look for what? If it IS the Scalosians, we're not exactly going to see them now are we?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: No sir. ::wonders why the XO is always blunt:: However, in previous encounters, machinery has simply… appeared, due to Scalosian installation.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Granted but we can modify the internal sensors for that to save manpower.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::reaches the console and signals for his team to arrange in defensive formation::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Commander, want me to implement those orders now?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
All: Any other ideas? Anything that doesn't involve Scalosians?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Well...we can always scan for subspace anomalies..
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Permission to return to the bridge now sir?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
XO: Commander, I do think the answers lay also in the star base’s logs and computer systems as it is our only lead to finding those people again...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Wait one Lieutenant.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::A little frustrated, but doesn't show it in any way:: XO: Aye Sir
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods to all the ideas:: CNS: Lieutenant? Ever seen anything like this?

ACTION:  Another member of the TO's team disappears.

CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
CNS: No, sir.  The only reference I came up with was the Scalosians.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
<Computer> Lt. Idrani: Away Team Status Change
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Grabs his PADD and makes some notes on the Scalosians and the other ideas::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir, one question.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir, I've lost transporter lock on another away team member.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::notices Pvt. Yanop disappear, K`Nargh starts to get nervous:: *XO/CTO* Another Tactical team member has just disappeared, can we please hurry up with the planning ::K`Nargh yells over the comm.::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*TO*: Acknowledged... keep your stuff together K`Nargh.... we'll figure it out...
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: I suggest we view the computer data when our men went missing. Maybe we can figure out why, or where they went.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
XO: Another suggestion if I may... the CEO could take a look at the computer malfunctions that where interfering with the Star base’s systems during the disappearances... there must be a connection, we just have to find it...
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CTO: A good idea... we can cross reference those to our database
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods in agreement with the CEO's suggestion::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CTO* I'm trying my best, sir, but it is not re-assuring when 2 of your members disappear into thin air with no cause
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::awaits the XO's orders::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::shakes his head:: ALL: Right, here's what's going to happen... Mr Watson, Get the last known locations of the missing team members and give it to Mr Rome... Mr Rome, Scan those areas for subspace abnormalities, radiation, anything else you can think of... Mr Idrani, monitor the AT's life signs... Mr Abmeraz, there is a cure for the hyper-acceleration condition that the Scalosians inflicted on the Enterprise crew in the Federation medical database... dig it out just in case... Miss Modalis work with him. Are we clear?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Yes Sir ::Stands::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Yes sir. But one question as to your earlier orders.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Yes.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Do you want to bring the AT back before I disable the transporter systems and lock out the computer?
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Writes another note on his PADD:: XO: Crystal sir.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Aye Sir...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: If it IS the Scalosians, we can't run the risk of beaming them aboard with the AT.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: So we're leaving them?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: With respect, if it IS the Scalosians, they will already be on board.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::nods::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::stands up::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CTO: Lieutenant... once you have those positions, go back to the Star base sensor records... there has to be something there.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  XO: Will do...
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Permission to carry out my orders?

ACTION:  The CNS gets hit with a wave of emotions...like hundreds of voices crying out to her.

CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::holds on to the table::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Go to it Johnathan.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS: Counsellor?
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::looks around, holding his PADD::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Yes sir. ::starts walking out of the room and taps his COM badge:: *Engineering*: Engineering this is Rome, disable the transporter systems manually. Pull out the iso-linear chips if you need to, we don't want them back online too easily.
Host Jules says:
<voices> ~~~CNS  Help us....please.~~~
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@*CTO* Have we come up with any plans, sir?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*Engineering*: And make sure to have someone guard the transporter systems, I don't want anyone near them unless I order them to.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CNS: Counsellor?
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::shakes her head::  XO: I...I don't know, sir.  I'm hearing lots of voices.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enters the Bridge and sits down at his console::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: The CNS could be sensing the crewmembers in a hyper accelerated state.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over to the CNS as well and gets ready to get up::
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
XO: It's possible.  It's not the crew on board the Scimitar.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sits next to the CNS and turns her chair round to face him:: CNS: Can you try and pick one out?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Computer: Computer, Lock out the main computer to console inputs. Verbal commands only that belong to the senior staff. Authorization Rome-Alpha-Eight-Eight-Gamma-Six
Host Jules says:
<Computer> CEO: Lt Rome command code accepted. Awaiting further authorization.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::strains::  XO: Yes, I think I can.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*XO*: Commander MacAllister, the Computer needs your authorization code to implements my orders.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*TO*: Hang in there, Lieutenant... we're working on it.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::twitches an antennae listening to the CNS::
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
XO: I have another Betazoid, sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CTO: Maybe personal force fields might assist the away team to avoid whatever it is that is making them vanish?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sees a slight movement from the corner of his eye:: OPS: Are you still here?!?!
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::sighs::*CTO* Understood ::glances over his crew, hoping that no more will disappear::
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Gets up from his chair and slowly approaches the CNS, holding his tricorder to monitor her vital signs as she tries to contact the voices.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::waits for the Commander to give his command code so he can finish the lock::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::thinks for a moment::  OPS: It might... but since we don't know what caused it we cannot predict it will work or not...
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks at the XO with dismay:: XO: Sir... ::turns and leaves::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::turns back to the CNS and takes her hands to try and keep her calm:: CNS: Just concentrate on that one voice.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::nods::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
OPS: I hope to find out more once I have reviewed the data around the disappearance of the TO's team....
Host Jules says:
<Belva>  ~~~ CNS:  Please, help us. ~~~
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
~~~Belva: Where are you?~~~
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::walks with CTO to continue conversation:: CTO: Understood
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::heads out of the observation lounge and onto the bridge::  OPS: Can you check the star base’s system logs and run them through the computer for me ?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::is sure he vaguely remembers hearing the CEO call him:: *CEO*: Did you say something?
Host Jules says:
<Belva>  ~~~ CNS:  On the station.  They are every where. ~~~
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
~~~Belva: Who?~~~
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CTO: Yes, I will do it immediately ::heads over to his console::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his console impatiently:: *XO*: I need you to give the Computer your command codes, so it can continue carrying out my orders.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS: Thanks!  ::heads to his console::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
Computer: Display Star base Systems Logs
Host Jules says:
<Belva>  ~~~ CNS:  The....the felines.....they are every....~~~
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
Computer: Order Confirmed, Authorisation MacAllister... Delta Six Six Alpha nine

ACTION:  The CNS hears Belva's scream in her head.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::continues to examine the system logs::
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
::tries to shut out the scream::  XO: Sir, I don't believe the intruders are the Scalosians.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Finds the vital signs of the counsellor seem stable and decides to head back to sickbay, to gather the information the XO required.:: XO: Sir, I'll be in sickbay if you need me. It'll be a challenge to dig for and find the information I need with voice commands to the computer. ::Grins::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::waits for the Computer to make the adjustments to its programming::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the CEO as he arrives at his own station::  CEO: I will get those localised records for you ASAP...  ::taps into the star base’s log database and retrieves the relevant times index's that correspond with the TO's team disappearances::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Hold it there Zoran.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns around:: CTO: Thank you. 
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CNS: What did you find out?
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Holds his spot and turns around:: XO: Yes sir?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: We have a change of plans, hang on a sec.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
XO: This Betazoid is talking about felines.  The Scalosians weren't feline, sir.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::puts the time index's on a table and makes his way to the CEO::  CEO: All right...  here are the relevant index's.... lets see if we can come up with anything out of the ordinary....
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
~~~Belva: Felines?  Like Caitians?~~~
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CTO: Thank you...I'll get to right as soon as I finish here.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Frowns and nods:: XO: Change of plans? ::Walks closer to the XO:: What changes did you have in mind?
Host Jules says:
<Computer>  Cmdr MacAllister command codes accepted, awaiting further authorization.

ACTION:  No reply from Belva

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::watches the CNS closely, he's seen this happen before::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::turns back to the CTO:: CTO: I guess that would be you. The final authorization code.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
~~~Belva: Hello?  Where are you?~~~
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
XO: No answer, sir.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  CEO: Let’s see if it works...   Computer: CEO Order confirmed, authorisation Watson Alpha Gamma 186 confirm.
Host Jules says:
<Computer>  Lt Watson command codes accepted, awaiting final sequence.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Computer: Implements Order. No audio acknowledgement. Rome-Beta-One.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CNS: Can you hear the others?
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
XO: Yes, sir, but it's all muddled.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::looks from the XO to the CNS and back again as the two keep talking to each other.::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
@::Patiently waiting for further orders:: Self: What is taking them so long
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CNS: Try and localise another one.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::Stands up:: All: Your consoles should now stop working, verbal orders will work.
CNS_LtJG_Modalis says:
:nods and tries::
Host Jules says:
<Computer>  Authorization complete.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the computer's acknowledgement and heads to his own station, glancing at OPS::  OPS: Thalev, how're things progressing on your end ?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his badge::*XO*: Commander MacAllister, the main computer has been locked out. It only responds to our voices, and I had my staff take the transporters offline.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CTO: Slowly with these restrictions. Sensor logs only show where the people were when they went missing.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Zoran... get a med kit and find a seat, this could take a while.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
OPS: If you would inform all the departments of the change in computer processing. If they need anything, they have to tell us.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Looks even more confused.:: XO: Alright. ::pauses for a moment:: Shall I have Lenny look for the cure? ::Walks over to the wall to grab the med kit.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::places the PADD the CTO handed him on his console:: Computer: Download the sensor logs from this PADD to my console.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Can do but I don't know if we'll still need it.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::thinks for a moment::  Self: Hmmm...  OPS: Maybe we can analyse the technical problems that arose through those days...  maybe we can see a pattern in those malfunctions...
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CTO: Very well, I shall do it immediately. There are no consistencies in the malfunctions.
CMO_Lt_Abmeraz says:
::Turns around as he detaches the med kit:: XO: I'll contact her just in case, so we have it ready should we need it after all. ::Walks back to the CNS and keeps his tricorder ready again.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods and turns back to the CNS::

ACTION:  2 more members of the away team disappear.
