XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::blinks::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::revives::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::watches people around him recover::
Ens Spanner says:
:: stands in sickbay next to the CEO ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looking at his console, trying to detect traces in the air of something that shouldn't be there::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::blinks some more.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks up:: EO: Really....can you find that nurse and tell her I need to leave...she won't listen to me. ::smiles::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::sits bolt upright on the bio bed and shouts:: All: Curse you for breathing you...... err... what's going on here?
Ens Spanner says:
CEO:  Do you really need to leave?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::grabs her hand and holds it gently:: EO: I need to stop the ship, you know that....even if it kills me.....again. ::grins::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Tries to sit up straight, but feels like he's been run over by a herd of elephants... though he is not sure what they are, but they are huge!.::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Sir, it's quite possible O might be around, but I have no proof of that...only the absurdity of events.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::has blurry vision::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Scans for radiation of any kind out of the ordinary:: OPS: You may be right. Nothing strange in the air and nothing strange in the radiation bands
Ens Spanner says:
CEO: I'll see what I can do Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: Sir?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sits upright::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Any way we can get his attention?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::sits up straight, trying to find out where he is, though he slightly recognises sickbay.:: All: Anyone here?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels like everything is spinning::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Thinks for a moment:: OPS: Call for him? Blast a few photon torpedoes?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::hears the XO:: XO: Yes, I am Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sits up and jumps off the bio bed::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: I tried calling for him but nothing. Maybe if we simply stop playing his game? We are of course assuming it is him.

ACTION:  In TIC, the CSO catches a glimpse of something floating up near the ceiling.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::sits down::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::turns to face who ever responded.:: FCO: Who? Where are you? Where are we?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::looks around as he realises no-one answered and spots the FCO wobbling in front of him:: FCO: Hey, hold still would ya? ::hears the XO:: XO: Over here Zoran.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: And how do we stop.. ::His voice tapers off as he sees something floating in the air. He points at it::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::turns around again.:: CO: Cap? That you?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Yeah... I think so... what happened?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Simply don't react to our surroundings no matter how scary they may seem, no matter how much we want to move.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Gets dizzy and slides off the bio bed *THUD*:: CO: Ouch!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::gets his centre back and lets out a few deep breaths before taking a few steps towards Karri, ignoring the Captain and XO who are sharing the room::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Do you see that? ::He points into the air where he sees something::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: It's Gnav, and we're in sickbay as far as I can tell. ::turns to the CO:: CO: Perhaps it would help if you keep your head still, Sir.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Hey, I felt that... what did you do?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Maybe we have a chance to test our theory...let’s simply try ignoring it.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::reaches up to see if his head is moving and misses it completely... ending up in a crumpled heap on the floor::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Em... do you see that? Or is that part of ignoring it?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Shrugs and rubs his eyes.:: XO: Not sure... but it hurt... my err... behind.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: What's wrong?
Lenny says:
:; walks over to where the CEO is :: CEO:  You can go now.  Try to not get killed again.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks over at Lenny:: Lenny: Sound advice.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Precisely. And if I'm wrong, there’s a high chance we'll see each other in sickbay soon all fine and healthy.
Lenny says:
:: smiles and walks over to the CO and XO ::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Hears a familiar voice.:: Lenny: Lenny? Is that you?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries not to walk::
Lenny says:
XO:  Who else would it be.  :: winks at Zoran::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::hears the XO:: Lenny: Lenny? what are you doing all the way up there?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Grins:: OPS: Not a fine prospect. So, did you see the soccer game yesterday? That last ball went real high. I believe they're using new balls these days, with a new diameter. 3 feet I believe
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::smiles and nearly looses his balance... even while sitting down.::

ACTION:  The thing the CSO saw, disappears into the ceiling.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::grabs Karri's arm:: EO: Now, stop calling me sir when we're alone. ::grins, and gives her a kiss:: EO: I promise I won't be killed out there...but I must leave. Please stay safe.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::wobbles on the bio bed and falls off it when trying to lie down::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::Sees what the CSO is doing despite not following soccer:: CSO: No I didn't see it, Sir. I hear it is very popular now
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: It's gone...maybe it worked...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CO*: Idrani to MacAllister.
Ens Spanner says:
CEO: Alright love.  :: kisses him back :: I'll get back to work myself.....Sir.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Gosh, are these bio beds that small? ::tries to reach the top of the bio bed to pull himself up::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Sees it disappear:: OPS: Listen. If we ever notice the other acting strangely, say "Orange". The other will then know that something is wrong with his behaviour
CEO Lt Rome says:
EO: Stay safe. ::nods and walks over to the sickbay doors and open then, then gives he a wink and runs off::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::hears a voice in his head:: *OPS*: Idrani? What are you doing in sickbay?
Lenny says:
CO:  Well, Sir, it happens when one stands up right.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::stands up and wobbles around sickbay::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::as he runs for the TL he has a strange craving for an orange::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Shakes his head once more and his blurry sight is slowly fading.:: Lenny: What am I doing down here? Last I remember I was fighting this Cardassian with... ::pauses a moment.:: Swords? That makes no sense
CEO Lt Rome says:
TL: TIC!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Lenny: Could you give me a hand? I think my legs have forgotten how to do that.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Orange...yes I guess we could spread that message. *CO*: Sir? Sir...we believe whatever is going on around here might stop if we simply ignore it...maybe you're not recovered fully to understand why, but you have to ignore anything unusual. We have a code-word, "orange", to alert others if they start acting strangely.
Lenny says:
:: chuckles :; CO:  Of course Sir.
Lenny says:
:: helps the CO up ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*OPS*: Sounds like it might be a good idea but you haven't answered my question.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Returns to his normal day to day business, trying to ignore anything strange::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CO*: I'm not in sickbay Sir...I'm in TIC using my COM badge.
Lenny says:
FCO:  Over here Lt.  We'll get you taken care of.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::bounces into some walls, tumbles over bio beds and crashes into people while wobbling in sickbay::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::gets to his feet with Lenny's help... staying there, however, might prove to be problematic::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Sir, I suggest we transmit the message ship wide
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Well, that would be an option, but then again.. It might alert the being. I'm not sure if it can anticipate to that. 
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*OPS*: We still have those? Oh, Ok then... just let the crew know about the oranges... MacAllister out.
Lenny says:
:: had a couple of orderlies get the FCO onto a bio bed ::  Orderlies:  Strap him down if you have to.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::enters the TIC and walks over to where Jon is and salutes:: CSO: Sir...I had a thought. I know it's unusual, but bear with me. ::grins::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Who altered sickbay?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::tries to take a step in the direction of the XO... Wobbles a bit... and finally decides it might not be the best idea just yet::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
.::shakes his head at the CO's last:: CSO: It seems the CO isn't fully recovered. The being probably is already alerted to our plan but he still may get bored of it.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Returns the salute and waits:: CEO: Unusual is daily business lately lieutenant, go ahead

ACTION:  The Orderlies get the FCO and put him on a bio bed.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::moves over to the CSO/CEO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Orderlies: Well thank you, I guess. ::blinks his eyes, but keeps the blurry vision::
Lenny says:
CO:  Sir, if you'll just sit here on this bio bed, we'll have you repaired.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Sees the captain wobbling his way and frantically tries to crawl backwards.:: CO: Whowowowooo cap... hold it there for a sec!
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: We raise a containment field around Cargo bay 1, and we start transporting all Cardassian bio signs back in there...I think I can get the force fields up. In all the confusion it occurred to me that instead of fighting them, let's do the next best thing...not fight.

ACTION:  Once the FCO is on the bed, a nurse begins to use a dermal regenerator on him.  The same happens with the CO.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't feel so damned nauseous... ::with that he empties his stomach on the XO's boots::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Well that didn't work the first time. What makes you think it'll work now?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Sounds like a plan, but I didn't know we had transporter control back? 
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: I might not be able to sabotage systems today, but god help me I can fix things with my eyes closed!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::looks down at the CEO’s head and wonders if he lost some hair::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO/OPS: I know things aren't working out as usual...but we have to try.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO/CSO: Agreed, however, how can we be sure that the Cardassians aren't a part of this theatre
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::wobbles again, this time bouncing off the nurse as he does so before falling straight down to the floor::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::nods at the comment:: CEO: Okay, do it. While you are at it... try transporting vole lifesigns first... it was a vole that caused the power outage and this mess to begin with. Take as many crew as you need, but get us our ship back!
Lenny says:
:: looks at the CO and XO :: CO/XO:  You two get away from each other......now.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: You continue calling O, alright?
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Aye sir.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the gross discharge on his boots, starts to get greenish and is unable to contain his own nauseousness and all that goes with it, hurling it towards the captain.:: CO: S.. ssos.... sorry.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Just fix my transporters!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: I have a strong feeling the Cardassians are victims, just like us
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Well, who would like to explain it to them Sir?
Lenny says:
:: helps the XO get to a bio bed and has the orderlies help the CO to one :: Orderlies:  And when you're done there, clean up that mess.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: I will, but we first need some leverage or they won't even try to listen

ACTION:  Once the CO and XO are situated on the bio beds, a nurse begins to repair the CO's wounds and Lenny takes care of the XO.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Any suggestions, Sir?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::looks at Lenny with a shy look.:: Lenny: Sorry... I... could... help... myself.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *Engineering*: All Engineering staff listen up. Take two teams to Cargo bay 1 and get that force field up. Another two start on the transporters....those of you still locked up. Do your worst.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::has some vague memory of killing the CO::
Lenny says:
XO:  It's OK Zoran, I know.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Thinks for a moment:: OPS: Didn't I see a report come by that someone fought a Cardassian? Do you know what happened to that Cardassian? If he retreated back to ME than the CO there must know that something is wrong. Unless he finds swords normal of course../
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the Engineering console and brings up the warp core systems which he still cannot access::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Didn't he get taken to Sickbay? But if we could get him back to ME...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::sighs:: Lenny: Did I tell you I am glad you are here? I had this terrible dream. ::Starts talking very fast:: I was sword fighting this Cardassian, I killing him, he killing me... I thought I was dead... I thought I really was gone you know... And I...
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks at the power grid layout.....just thinking::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::nods:: OPS: Check with the doctor. Unless that Cardassian is dying, he's going back to ME. He has to tell his CO that something is wrong
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Sir, are weapons dead?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: And maybe he'll have the wounds to prove it..
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Which weapons do you mean? Our phasers are unreliable. Our external phaser banks.. no idea
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::dozes off::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
OPS: Exactly. Lets get moving
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::gets up and tries to walk again... this time he manages to get moving and decides he's not going to try to stop at this point:: Lenny: I'm going to the TIC... keep me informed. ::wobbles out the door and down the corridor to the turbo lift::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Phaser banks.......the reserve powers in those relays should be at 100% since last time I knew the phasers were powered up....were they ever powered down?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Sickbay*: Idrani to Sickbay
Lenny says:
XO:  You were fighting a Cardassian, you and he both received mortal wounds, yet, neither of you are dead.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Not that I’m aware of. Hold on. ::Walks to the console that controls the phaser banks and checks power levels::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::wakes up again after the memory constructed some weird dream::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Feels with his hands all over his belly.:: Lenny: Huh? Where? I don't see or feel anything... That can't be right!
EO Traden says:
*CEO*: Sir, this is Traden. We're down in transporter control and the pattern buffers are blown, but we should be able to fix them momentarily. Though the power relays are dead. Cut off from Main Engineering.
Nurse says:
FCO:  There you are Lt.  You should be fine as long as you don't pick up any more weapons.
Lenny says:
XO:  I know it can't be, but it is.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Nurse: Pick up what weapons? What actually happened?
Nurse says:
*OPS* Go ahead.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Nurse*: How's our Cardassian friend? If he can walk, we need him to be escorted back to ME immediately
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the console, then at the CEO:: CEO: Looks like there's plenty left in here. You want to reroute to the transporter system?
Nurse says:
*OPS* He's fine and....you WHAT?!?!?!
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Exactly....but not straight away, the sheer amount of power would fry the transporter.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::sighs again.:: Lenny: I think I am needed to help figure this out then, huh? Even though I much more prefer to stay here with you, am I allowed to go? I think they need me out there.
Nurse says:
FCO:  You were wounded badly.  You are fine now.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Nurse*: No time to explain, just get him sent back to ME immediately
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Traden*: Traden, you get to the buffers, I'll worry about the power. Rome out.
Lenny says:
XO:  I know, you have to go.  Just be careful.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Do you need me here? If not I think I’ll head to ME and see that that Cardassian gets through. And maybe get a word in to their CO
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: Lenny: I will ::tries to show a comfortable smile.::
Nurse says:
*OPS*  On who's authority?
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: No sir, if you get in there....can you tell if my people are safe?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Nurse: My vision isn't blurry anymore, but I guess I'll find out what happened to get me ending up here. Thank you. ::stands up, starting wobbly but then walks quite straight::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::after bouncing off a few walls and almost being reunited with his breakfast in the turbo lift he emerges into the TIC:: CEO: Report!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Nurse*: Mine and Commander Pierces.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: I will do my best to save anyone still in there
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Thank you. ::turns to the Captain:: CO: Things are looking up sir...we'll know in a few minutes.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Idrani! Get over here!
Nurse says:
FCO:  Very well.  Be careful
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::moves over to the CEO with a growl:: CEO: What?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Sir, should you be out of sickbay at the moment? I'm off to ME. I'm going to try and talk some sense into that CCO
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Have we stopped yet?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Gets up and slowly moves to the sickbay exit.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: See this layout here. ::points to the power distribution network::
Nurse says:
*OPS* I'm afraid I'll need more authorization than that before I let one of the enemy just stroll out of here.
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: No sir...working on it.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to the XO:: XO: Sir, let me help you get out of Sickbay without any more injuries.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: If you think you can talk sense into a bloody minded Cardassian Captain, be my guest... the guy just annoys me.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, we need your authorization to let the Cardassian prisoner go. We need him to talk to his CCO so he knows something is totally wrong here. 
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, we need your authorisation to move the prisoner Sir. ::getting irritated:: *Nurse*: Don't you understand? We need it done... NOW! Court martial me after but in the meantime the ship is at stake.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods at the FCO.:: FCO: Thanks, I appreciate that. We need to head back to the TIC.
Nurse says:
*OPS* You know I can't court martial you!  What's gotten you in such a huff!!!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: I'm not going to authorise that until I'm sure we've got him on our side.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Now pay attention...see here where the main phaser banks break off from the main power relay, we need to get that power out of the banks, into a secondary relays since they've shut the main relays off from TIC controls. But the minor relays are always online. Pay attention!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::supports the XO and heads to the TIC:: XO: Here we go.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir... we don't need him on our side. All he has to do is tell his CCO what happened. That CCO can't be so blind as not to see the type of wounds inflicted
Ens Spanner says:
*CEO*  I think I've gotten internal sensors back up Sir.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::growls and closes the COM::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Spanner*: Wonderful! Try and pinpoint all Cardassian bio signs and keep track of them.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Are you listening?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Of Course I am! You're worse than my mother. Just get on with it.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Take an armed guard with you... if he even blinks at you wrong, shoot him and lock him back up in sickbay.
Ens Spanner says:
*CEO*  I still have 2 more repairs to do on the starboard SIF pods.  Can Cmdr Pierce do that?
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Spanner*: Alright. I'll see to it.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::nods and leaves the bridge, heading to sickbay:: *Nurse*: We've just gotten permission from the CO. I'm coming down to collect the prisoner
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Supported by the FCO they reach the TIC and the door slides open.:: All: You all wanted to have some fun without us? What kind of crew are you?
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Okay Idrani, see here where I will rewrite the book on power transfer. ::grins::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::listens to the CEO and hopes the prisoner gets moved quickly::
Nurse says:
*CSO*  Fine, but it on your head!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: Where should I drop you, Sir? ::smiles::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::walks up behind OPS and the CEO and looks over their shoulders::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
FCO: A comfortable chair would be fine. ::blinks a few times again.::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*Nurse*: Thanks sweetheart. Pierce out. *Sec*: Security, I want 1 man to sickbay now. And make it someone who can handle a sword as well as a phaser
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Oh how humble...don’t forget they are my transporters.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: You need to monitor the power transfer while I keep it pumping at slow intervals from the phaser banks to relay AJ-47, which is the third backup IDF generator...it will most likely burn out, but from there we can shunt it into transporter control without blowing it up.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::walks over to some chair behind some console:: XO: This looks comfortable enough. ::eases the XO down onto the chair::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Just before the TL doors close he looks over his shoulder:: CEO: make sure not to beam the wounded Cardassian first. I hate showing up empty handed for a party ::grins::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: Understood sir.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Ready here. ::activates the console next to the CEO::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::groans.:: FCO: Thanks... I guess. ::Looks around.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Captain...I know this is highly irregular but can you work the internal scanners and locate the Cardassians? I need both hands here.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to ops:: OPS: Ready now. ::activates the power transfer::
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Keep it slow.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: You're welcome. ::walks over to the conn and sits down::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Locate the Cardassians? I thought they were all in engineering!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: You keep it slow...I'm just monitoring remember Einstein?
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: You need to monitor the pace also please....just do it.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::has a look at the internal sensor readout:: CEO: Is this a Cardassian?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::pumps the extreme phaser energy through the relay, hoping it won't blow too soon::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks over his shoulder.:: CO: How did you ever make captain... you don't know what a Cardassian looks like?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Exits the TL and heads to sickbay:: *Sec*: Is that security officer on the way?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks over:: CO: Yes sir. Just let the computer identify it.

ACTION:  While checking internal sensors, an unknown energy reading shows up in Main Engineering.

Security says:
*CSO*  Waiting on you Sir.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::monitors the power flow:: CEO: Easy...and don’t forget to ignore anything strange that happens around us.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I know fine well what a Cardassian looks like... but I don't know what all these blips are on this readout.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Uh-huh....::works the controls very slowly::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: And what the hell is this big blip here?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::grunts as he has to look away from his console and glances over:: CO: That....that I have no idea what is.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::logs into his console::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Enters sickbay and looks around where the Cardassian is, then walks towards him, nodding at the security officer::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::shrugs and grins sarcastically:: CO: The Scimitar captain?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::shakes his head:: XO: Actually, it looks like it's in engineering... some sort of power surge?
Security says:
:: nods back to the CSO ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Cardassian: Do you know what happened to you? 
Cardassian says:
:; sits there, looking around ::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Check the levels sir....power readings. Could be the core?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::thinks about a way to fit the little mans room into his next remark to the captain about the power surge.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::checks the IDF, waiting for it to burn out::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Power flow is still fine...how much longer is this going to take?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Here... have a look, isn't this the core here?
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: We're almost there....
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notices he still hasn't got access to the flight control controls::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::glances over:: CO: Hmm....no that's a different reading, there's something there. It's not our systems generating that.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Really, we should focus. This could just be a distraction. Don't you have other staff who can deal with that?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Cardassian: Do you understand what I’m saying to you? ::Gestures for a nurse to come closer and check the Cardassian::
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: My other staff are busy!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: That's what I said... power surge.
Cardassian says:
CSO:  Of course I understand you.
EO Traden says:
*CEO*: Sir, buffers are back up. Now we need power.
Cardassian says:
CSO:  I know that I should be dead, but, I'm not.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::giggles slightly at the next mention of the power surge.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Okay...it's done!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Cardassian: Good. So you agree that something strange is going on here?
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Traden*: Stand by.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::turns off controls and starts playing the console::
Cardassian says:
CSO:  I agree with that.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: The third backup IDF is completely blown, but the power relay is holding. Now please transfer it to transporters....the rest is up to you.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Cardassian: Okay. I don't want any bloodshed. I want you to tell your CO what you saw. We believe that something is manipulating us. And I want all of us to work together to find a solution
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Good job. ::accesses transporters and scans for Cardassian bio signatures::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Hey, what's this one?
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: We need to make sure the power transfer works first, make sure to transfer it slowly.
Cardassian says:
:: nods :: CSO:  You're just going to let me walk back to my CO?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO/CO: Should we wait for a status report from the CSO before we start beaming Cardassians around?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the Captain:: CO: Okay let's take a look.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: I've never seen one of those before.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Cardassian: That's exactly what I’m going to do. I and a security guard will accompany you to the doors. There the security guard will retreat to a distance so only you and I will be at that door
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::transfers power...slowly::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::nice melodies fill the TIC::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::looks around::
Cardassian says:
:: nods :: CSO:  Fair enough.
EO Masterton says:
*CEO*: Chief, the containment field has been reconnected.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Correction, I have seen something sort of like this before, but it can't be that.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Masterton*: Good job. Stand by.
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: What?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::nods:: *CO*: Sir. The Cardassian has agreed to inform his commander of the situation. We're going to ME now
Cardassian says:
:: follows the CSO ::
Security says:
:: walks behind the Cardassian ::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
FCO: What is that irritating sound... turn it off. ::Looks at the FCO in disbelieve.::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::continues work thinking to repeat his comment before he starts transporting::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Just hold off on the transport for a minute. ::taps his badge:: *CSO*: Acknowledged Jon, keep me informed.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: So, is the transporter coming online?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::stops playing and turns to the XO:: XO: Sorry Sir, I was playing the consoles. It's the only thing which can keep me concentrated at the moment.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: I'm ready...all power seems to have been transferred successfully. Now we just wait.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::taps his badge::*CSO*: Commander Pierce, containment field is back up in Cargo bay 1.
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: Bloody wonderful. ::smiles::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Now Captain...::identifies the power signature and enlarges it:: What is that?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Enters the TL and waits for the Cardassian and the security guard to enter:: TL: Main engineering ::The doors close:: *CEO*: Thank you, good work. Please hold for further instructions ::Wonders why he sounded so formal::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CSO*: Affirmative.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::lowers his voice:: CEO: Do you remember the conflict with the Airillians?
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: Well, I was transferred to this ship due to that conflict sir. ::Grins::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Blood? Don't we have enough blood? ::looks around at the stains of FCO and CO blood::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: well we went behind the Airillian lines to retrieve a weapon that looked a lot like these readings here.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Exits the TL and walks up to the doors of ME. He waits until the guard and the Cardassian are standing beside him. He then takes off his phaser and hands it to the security guard:: Guard: Leave us. I don't want anyone hurt. Waving with a weapon gives too much tension now. Besides.. I'm a bad swordsman ::grins and gestures the guard to leave them::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: The signature from the containment sphere I investigated?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: I know it couldn't be that weapon but it just looks so much like it.
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: We better look into it. But for now, this is a mystery...one of many.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Waits for the guard to leave::*CO*: I'm at ME now sir. I'm about to contact the Cardassians. Stand by for an update

ACTION:  The doors to Main Engineering open and there is fighting going on between the Cardassians.  Blood is everywhere and a lot of shouting is going on.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Could that power surge interfere with the transporters?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CEO: Because it seems to be growing.
CEO Lt Rome says:
CO: It could....Idrani might be better to see to that now. His instruments should detect it.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the scene in disgust:: *CO*: Sir, the doors to ME opened… the Cardassians are fighting amongst themselves.
