Summary:  USS Scimitar 10610.02 - Into the Darkness - Episode 4

The Crew on the ship are attempting to find out where, who or what is causing the cold on the ship.

On the planet, they are trying to find what or who is causing the deaths.

Are all the incidents connected???

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

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Pacing on the planet, waiting for the Aide to arrive.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::holds his phaser, aiming it at the two Pakleds::

<Pakled XO> All:  Why you do that??  We not hurt you.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::walks up to the Pakled XO and gets in his face:: CTO: Get them off my bridge.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::at his post on the bridge::

@ <Aide Seiffulp> XO:  What can I do for you Commander?

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::is working on the FCO console to keep the ship in geosynchronous orbit, and thinks this description is better than FCOing::

<Pakled XO> CO:  You not need our help?

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@Aide: Did you round up those people that supposed to have seen those shadowy figures?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye Captain....
CEO Lt Rome says:
::holds his phaser steady and waits for the CTO to take over::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Walks onto the bridge and looks around::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Pakled XO: You invade our ship after we made it clear to you that we don't want you here... Exactly what makes you think we need your help?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::notices Jon stepping out of the TL and gives him a nod::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::draws his phaser and heads towards the Pakleds and motions a called security team to clear the way to the TL::   Pakleds: Gentlemen, if you would follow me I will show you to your accommodations...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts reviewing the internal sensor logs::

<Pakled XO> CO:  You have problem with your temperature.  We help fix.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Assesses the situation and wonders who these people on the bridge are. Seeing as the CTO has a weapon drawn he steps aside and keeps his hand close to his own phaser::
CEO Lt Rome says:
Self: Just what I needed....Pakleds telling me how to fix my machinery...

<Pakled XO> CTO:  We have our own room???

CO Capt MacAllister says:
Pakled XO: You will go with our CTO and I'm going to impound your ship. You're under arrest.

@ <Aide Seiffulp> XO:  We did, they are waiting for you in the antechamber.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks: Why do the Pakleds stick their collective noses in our business?::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::grins faintly::  Pakled: Indeed... nice and cosy with good lighting as well... now... move on...  ::motions for the security officers to escort them into the TL::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::lowers his own phaser and places it back under his console and turns to face the CSO:: CSO: Jon... ::sees the new pip and smiles:: Sir. Welcome back to duty.

<Pakled XO> CO:  You mean, we not like you.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks for the CIV whether he somewhere around and calls out.:: CIV: Commander! I need you over here.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tells the computer to display internal sensor recordings from just before the Pakled death::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Open a channel to that ship.

<Pakled XO> CTO:  Like you, you nice to take us to a cosy room.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir ::opens a channel::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::listens to the computer::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Sir, you arrived at a good time....I could actually use some of your expertise.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Thanks, it's good to be back. What's on your mind?

ACTION: No answer comes from the Pakled ship.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::points to the TL:: CSO: Those Pakleds just beamed through our shields and I have no idea how... bugs me a bit. ::smiles::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: No reply, Sir. ::tries again::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::smiles as he hears the computer beep::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::softly pushes the Pakled bunch into the TL together with his security team::  TL: Deck 15!
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Sir, my apologies, I was getting this seen to ::holds up one hand less three fingers::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::hears some melody from the computers beeps::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::hums along::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::turns to tactical:: TO: See that ship... if it moves, shoot out its engines.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks at the hand with a very painful expression:: CIV: I see. Well... join us, we have to talk to a couple of the locals about those shadowy figures. ::Gestures the CIV to follow the Aide::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks: I can use this console as a piano of some kind::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: mmm. Sounds like they have their transporter beam using the same modularity as our shields somehow
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
<TO Johnson>  ::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye Captain...  ::targets the Pakled Vessel with the forward phasers and torpedo tubes 1 and 3::  weapons locked... they will be sorry if they try anything...
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: That's what I first thought sir...but I did the calculations, it's 1 to 59049..
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: I'm sure these figures have something to do with what’s happening here and on the ship
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks: the CO and XO can handle that, I can play the console::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::as the TL arrives on deck 15, the doors open and he gently pushes the Pakleds out of the TL and towards the brig section of the ship::
             
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Well, beside the fact that a small chance is a chance nevertheless.. Is there any evidence that they punctured our shields somehow? in theory they could nullify our shields by emitting the exact opposite energy
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::runs a sub spectral analysis on the internal sensor readings from the time of the last death::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::accesses transporter controls::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Where do you want it to go?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::While following the Aide to the anteroom, he starts to ask some questions already.:: Aide: When exactly did they start to see these shadowy figures?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Moves to his console and initiates a scan on the alien ship::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Sir, brig, sickbay, out into space, morgue?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
FCO: Well, sickbay would be a good guess.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::points to his screen:: CSO: None, there is a slight power build-up just seconds before they beamed aboard in the ventral shield grid. Not sure what it means yet.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CO: Beaming it over there. *CMO*: Sickbay, one transport coming in. ::initiates transport::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::continues running the sensor reports through analysis for even the smallest hint of what happened::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::loves the beeps of the console::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: I just had an idea sir..
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::looks over at the FCO's console momentarily wondering if he turned up his console recently::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::wonders if maybe the FCO's last dose of Netinaline was a little high::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::enters the brig area and nods at his brig officer to open up 3 separate cells for the guests::  Pakleds: Gentlemen, as I promised your very own rooms with adequate lighting and a nice cosy temperature... we call them brigs but don't let the name concern you to much...  ::nods at his fellow security officers to push them in their separate cells and raises the force fields behind them::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at his console:: CEO: Look at this. It looks like they used a device to measure our modulation just before they beamed in
CEO Lt Rome says:
Computer: Computer, compare the weapon discharge last impacted on our shields to the power fluctuation in the ventral shield grid..
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Just what I'm checking out.

@ Action: All of the witnesses that the XO and CIV question tell them that they thought they saw something, but when they looked, there was nothing there.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns off the "access PADDs not needed" part of his console and starts playing controls::

<Pakled XO> CTO:  Thank you.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::funny beeps emerge from his console, more and more in a melodic way::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: That's a powerful device.. We're lucky they didn't use that in combination with their phaser banks
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::hums along::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::laughs::
CEO Lt Rome says:
<Computer>CEO: Both wave patterns register as 547.23 MW.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: It seems clear there is something to these shadows. We just need to find a way to detect and hopefully communicate with them
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns around to the OPS:: OPS: What, Sir?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::turns to the CIV:: CIV: I doubt we can find anything more interesting down here. I wonder if perhaps we should head back.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks at Jon:: CSO: There's that..
OPS Lt Idrani says:
FCO: Oh nothing...Well actually I just thought I recognised a song
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::head towards the exit of the brig area and turns one last time::  Pakleds: I'll be on the bridge if you need anything.... Brig Officers: If there are any problems... let me or Lieutenant Johnson know....  ::heads out of the brig area and into the nearest TL::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
OPS: I was trying to play a song, or a new song. Did you know the console has wonderful sounds?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::feels like getting up and swatting the FCO but decides to do something else:: CEO: Have we found out how they got onboard?

ACTION:  The console in front of the FCO becomes extremely cold and begins to frost over. The temperature around the FCO drops below zero.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::accesses internal sensors to scan the FCO console area::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: I'm sure I can still fly, if you are up to it?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
TL: Bridge!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::fingers freeze to the console:: Self: This is not good. ::starts to shiver::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the FCO's console. That's odd.. He takes his tricorder and scans the area around the FCO::

ACTION:  A shadowy figure can be seen moving towards the FCO.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to face the Captain:: CO: Aye sir, we just noticed a slight power build up in the shields grid, it coincides with the weapon they fired at us earlier, somehow they...pinged us sir and got our shields frequency. I've never seen this technology before.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks over to the CMO and back to the CIV:: CIV: Well, I suppose there are not many other options, are there?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::eyes wide:: All: Anyone, help!?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps his COM badge:: *Sickbay*: Medical emergency! Get a team to the bridge on the double!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
FCO: Lieutenant, back away from your console
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks closer as he can see a shadow moving across the bridge:: Computer: Computer enhance lighting 200%
CEO Lt Rome says:
::hears Jon and shields his eyes immediately::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
OPS: I....I... wishhhhhh, I....I... could, brrrrrr.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::wants to point to the shadow thingy, but his fingers are frozen to the console::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::and talking is difficult with this temperature::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Don't worry Commander, I'll take it easy going home ::smiles:: after all I'm probably not going to be able to conduct really radical manoeuvres with only seven fingers
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::moves over as close as he can to the FCO and points his phaser at the shadow::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::mumbles HELP::

<Nurse Stickum> *CO*  A team is on the way Captain.

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::as the TL arrives on the bridge the doors open and he heads out, glancing at the situation presenting itself::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Informs the Aide that they're job on the planet is complete for now and they needed to return to the ship.:: CIV: I can fly, did have... err... some time flying that tub. ::Gets the CMO to join them as well.::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sees the shadow move away from the FCO and draws his phaser as he moves to the FCO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::freezes a little::

ACTION:  The lighting brightens the entire bridge, causing most of the crew to shield their eyes, the shadowy figure can no longer be seen.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::fingers already frozen a little::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Only of you insist Sir
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::He moves closer to the shadow, with his tricorder in front of him, trying to find traces:: FCO: How are you feeling? Is the cold still there?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::shields his eyes from the sudden light burst::  Self: What the...?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Computer: Dim the lights! CO: Sir I suggest an emergency transport to the sickbay instead
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: I hope you've got a damn good reason for this Jon!

ACTION:  The medical team arrives on the bridge and rushes to the FCO and begins to try and liberate his fingers from the frozen console.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::smiles lightly:: CIV: I do. ::Walks towards the shuttle with the CIV, followed by the CMO.:: And I would be really glad to get rid of this EVA suit.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: How is he doing...?  ::waiting for an answer he scans the bridge for the shadowy figure::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: And leave his fingers on the console?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns slowly to the CSO:: CSO: Loooo...oookkkk at mmmmmmmm....mmmmmy consssssssollllle.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, we know nothing of the shadow, but I thought that the increased lighting would at least weaken it
OPS Lt Idrani says:
FCO: Looks like it doesn’t like being played as a musical instrument
CEO Lt Rome says:
::opens his eyes fully as the light turns back to normal::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CSO: Dooo....oooo you thhhhh,......ink ittssssss colllld?

ACTION:  The lighting on the bridge returns to normal.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Well now we can't even see the damn thing... I can barely see my hands in front of my face
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the Captain:: CO: Captain...I think I can install a safeguard, preventing that technology to be used on our shields again.

<MO Payne> FCO:  Just be still, we'll have you free in a moment.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Smiles at the FCO:: FCO: well... just think that out in space it's a bit colder than now ::shrugs at his own lame joke:: CTO: He'll live
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::nods slowly, as you can hear ice crackling::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Noted. ::wonders why the transporter wouldn’t be able to compensate::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::moves back to his console to view the recorded data from the FCO’s attack::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Arrives at the shuttle and gets inside. Before taking off his EVA suit, he waits for the others to enter as well.::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@::boards the shuttle, interested to see the XO’s piloting skills::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::grins softly::  CSO: He better....  ::turns to the CO::  CO: Captain, I think that Commander Pierce's idea could work..... if we can establish that an abundant amount of light weakens or even kills them we could start modifying a few phasers to serve that purpose... I'm sure Lieutenant Rome would be able to facilitate that in conjunction with Commander Pierce and myself...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Closes the door as soon as he CMO enters and begins the clumsy process of removing his EVA suit.:: CIV: Sorry about that.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@::begins to take off his EVA suit as the shuttle door closes. Bumps into the XO and CMO in doing so:: Both: Sorry, still tight in here
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: Question is.. Is it really gone? if OPS could review the internal sensors data.. There must be something we're missing here.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::doesn't move::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::hums as there’s nothing else he can do at the moment::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO/CTO/CSO: Just make sure it works... and boost power to environmental systems... see if that'll maybe counteract the freezing effects a wee bit.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO/CTO: I've been going over it since I got to the bridge...still nothing. I'll keep on it
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::suddenly looks around the bridge as he receives a mixture of feelings::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::continues analysing the internal records::

<MO Payne> :: finally releases the FCO's fingers from the console and scans them :; FCO:  Good, we won't have to amputate, but a few more seconds and you'd have lost your fingers for sure.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Waits for the CMO to clear herself of the EVA suit and sits down at the pilot seat. He quickly goes through the take off procedures and starts to lift the shuttle from the ground.:: CIV: Here we go.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
MO: Well that's a relief, how else would I have been able to fly the ship? ::tries to smile::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Can't wait Sir. Just ask if you need any help ::grins::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to the Captain and walks back to his station::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::flops down in his seat::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notices CO flop::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: I have a few ideas. If we could adjust the phasers we could use them as both a strong light source and maybe a slow heating device in case there are no medics around
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::stumbles for a moment overwhelmed by the feelings::  Self: Jeez... I thought I had blocked most of these external feelings...  ::shakes his head for a moment::  CO: Captain...  I just got a couple of feelings of the shadowy figure... as I could feel what it was trying to do...

<MO Payne> :: runs the dermal regenerator over the FCO's hand :: FCO:  You'll need to come to sickbay after your shift for a follow up.

CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: Rome to Ensign Spanner, report on the ..... uhm device we're making.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: It's possible, we'll have to manually reconfigure each phaser though.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: And what exactly IS it trying to do?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
MO: I can come over now if that helps getting my fingers better?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Lets start with bridge personnel first, then security. We have something to defend us with. If we could also issue instructions that everyone is to move about the ship in pairs, then accidents should be at an absolute minimum
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods:: CSO: Excellent idea.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, I've been analysing the internal sensor logs. It appears the temperature dropped and negatively charged ions were present but now it’s dissipating quickly
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Slowly manoeuvres the shuttle just about the landing spot and tries to figure out which button it was to make it go forward... or anywhere at all, except making these nauseating turns.::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::searches the feelings he got::  CO: I felt elation at first as it was feeding on the FCO... then followed by anticipation... like it knew what was going to happen and looking forward to it.... then afterwards I felt a deep anger as if it was frustrated that its attempt did not work as it had probably planned... ::shakes his head::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Sir, I believe it’s that one ::pointing with one of his remaining fingers::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::stands by his console waiting...::*EO*: Ensign Spanner?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Takes his phaser and starts adjusting its settings to allow a wide beam with low intensity::

<EO Ens Spanner> *CEO* Aye Sir?

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks slightly annoyed at the CIV and 'bites':: CIV: I knew that.... I was err... just getting used to the throttle.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Also make sure to adjust the Krellide power cell power output.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Any indication as to why it's "Feeding" on my crew?
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: I need a report on the device please.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders if the CO heard his report or whether he should repeat it::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Understood Sir. The, err throttle is, um, on the other side. ::tries not to laugh::

<EO Ens Spanner> *CEO* It's almost finished Sir.  That's why it took me so long to answer Sir.

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::shakes his head::  CO: No idea, Sir... the anticipation might suggest that it is some sort of natural process for them... similar as we eat every day to sustain ourselves....
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::just stands on the bridge humming::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: See if you can work on a way of detecting them while they're there rather than the aftermath.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::and getting his fingers warm again::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: Good news, please contact me immediately when it's finished...also I have another task for you, delegate it to someone else not busy with the device.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Of course, I don't want to start burning holes ::Keeps tinkering with his phaser until he is satisfied::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Do you think you can communicate with it?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::His head turns slightly red as he realizes he was prodding the wrong buttons.:: CIV: Well.. .err... It's been a while. ::Goes for the right buttons this time.:: Ah! Here we go. ::And the shuttle shoots off, almost hitting some treetops.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::smiles at Jon:: CSO: Sorry sir.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Does the shadow have ears and does it like music?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir, I'll get right on it ::analyses the ions in more detail and starts to think of a way to adjust sensors::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::smiles. It's good to be back::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Yes, that’s the one. Nice low level flying Sir. very difficult skill to master ::almost failing to keep a straight face::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@:: Looks over at the CMO, who is lost for words::

<EO Ens Spanner> *CEO* Aye Sir, what task is that?

CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: I think those trees are on fire
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: I need the shield emitters to rotate the frequency every time there is a weapon discharge on the shields...it should not take long, but it's a top priority.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: I'm not sure, Captain.... I'm not specifically trained in empathic contact... ::points at his phaser::  I normally communicate more directly with hostiles if you get my point....  ::smiles faintly::  but that doesn't stop me from trying....
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks for a rear-view mirror.:: CIV: Where? Which ones?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Do your best and let me know what you come up with.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::runs a simulation on a modification to see if it would work::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Those ones down there, with the smoke and flames ::tries to point, forgetting he's missing a finger::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CO and moves to his own console, relieving Lieutenant Johnson::  Johnson: I'll observe matters from here...  head back to the security office and see if you can track this shadowy figure through eyewitness reports on the ship.....
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks at the bundle of cloth at the end of the CIV's wrist.:: CIV: Where?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: There ::using his good hand to point out a plume of smoke rising from a forest just outside the shuttles landing pad::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: I hope we haven't started a forest fire
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Concentrates on his tricorder readings, feeding them to the ship's computer::

<EO Ens Spanner> *CEO* Aye Sir, I'll get right on it.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Sees the plume of smoke just barely as the shuttle shoots out into orbit, back on its way towards the Scimitar.:: CIV: Oh those... err... that... err... wasn't me, right?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::checks on something on his chair console::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
<Johnson> ::nods at the CTO::  CTO: Aye, Sir... I will keep you informed!
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: Thank you, Rome out.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks about leaving the bridge::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
<Johnson> ::heads into the nearest TL::  TL: Security Office!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: How's it going Jon?
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Sir. ::smiles::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::can't get the song out his head that the FCO was playing::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
@XO: Well, let’s agree it might not have been and get the hell away from here ::laughs::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: I think I’m going down to the firing range and try these modifications. and forget the sir ::smiles::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::thinks: maybe I should practise on giving concerts by playing consoles::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Thanks. ::laughs::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Tries to contain a few chuckles, but fails and laughs along with the CIV.:: CIV: Yes, let's get out of here.
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Captain, modifications to the shields are under way.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Good, Keep me posted.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir.

As the crew goes about trying to figure out what's happening here, outside the ship, a shadowy figure lays in wait..........
