Rome is still recovering from his injuries as are several others.  The ship is slowly heading back to the Bad Lands.

Deaths and critical injuries are still occurring.  The medical staff are working round the clock.

All over the ship, tensions are elevated and tempers flare.

In sickbay, Dr Numark is trying to catch up on her reports, unbeknownst to her, she isn't alone.

CMO LtJG Numark says:
::Rubs her eyes from all the reading::
Entity says:
:: watches the CMO ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::sitting in his chair on the bridge::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::at the bridge, closely monitoring conn systems::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Arrives back on the bridge.::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::tries to sit up from the bio bed:: CMO: Doctor, how long do I have left today in this field?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::sat at OPS on the bridge still annoyed at the CEO::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: looks behind her sensing someone is there::
 
ACTION:  The CMO catches a glimpse of light out of the corner of her eye.

ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::makes the final adjustments to the warp core systems, running a level 3 diagnostic before connecting the plasma feed again::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::In sickbay, tying to get up from the bio bed::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::at the tactical station on the bridge::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Slowly walks over to his chair on the bridge.:: CO: Hey there captain... Miss anything?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::fidgets in his chair:: All: Ok, who's adjusted my chair?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Not me Sir
CMO LtJG Numark says:
CEO: I don't quite know just yet .  :: sees a light in the corner of her eye and gets a strange feeling about herself::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Self: Yeah, because that's what we'd be doing in such a situation...altering chairs...
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::looks over the results and nods to PO_Wipep:: PO: Plug us in, Petty Officer.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CMO: The timer is right there...I can't see it from here. ::points to the top of the device::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Not much, did you adjust my chair?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks down at the captain's chair.:: CO: No sir... I was in sickbay most of the time.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Maybe it's your new self after being killed that's different...
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looking around he feels like he's been run over by a star ship::
Spanner says:
:: walks into sickbay and over to where Rome is ::  CEO/CMO:  How are we doing?
CMO LtJG Numark says:
CEO: Just under 2 minutes. :: smiles and heads to her office shivering::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I've got the distinct feeling there's someone or something else on this ship.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries to pinpoint where exactly they are::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::smiles at Spanner as she walks in:: Spanner: Doing better now....I can almost see you. ::smiles::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO/XO: I'm still convinced it's O or another of his species maybe.
Spanner says:
:: smiles at Rome ::  CEO:  You'll get better everyday.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::tries not to chuckle:: CO: Just because you chair is different? ::Turns around.:: OPS: O?
Entity says:
:: waits on the Dr to get to her office ::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: puts the reports down on her desk and takes a seat and yawns::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::hearing the COs comments begins to run internal scans for life signs, unusual energy readings or other anomalies::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: The less I hear that name the better... besides, he's more of a prankster... something's causing people to fight to the death and I don't think it's O.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO: Well think about it, it's just like him to do this sort of thing isn't it. Games, deaths and resurrections for fun, wiping out colonies...
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*Bridge*: Bridge, this is Engineering. We've managed to get the last injector system back to specs, you should be able to sustain warp 3 for up to 19 hours now, but I can't do anything about the speed just yet.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Sitting up straight he stretches his back and rubs his neck::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Yes Sir, and someone's bringing them back to life. There's not many species that can do that.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::smiles up at her:: Spanner: How are things in Engineering? They can manage without me? ::grins::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Starts to think back to the colony:: OPS: But that colony didn't exist, right? We have no evidence of that.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: looks around her office and sees the strange floating thing clearer than before::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I don't think it was any accident that the Cardassians turned up right after we did.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Pinpointing a location in uncharted space is quite difficult. How to know where to go if you don't know where you are?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looking around he notices the CMO standing at a bio bed. Not wanting to disturb him he stands up:: 
OPS Lt Idrani says:
XO/CO: Well maybe it did, maybe it didn't...that was our original mission wasn't it? Maybe that was a plot to get us there in the first place. I don't know. Maybe someone simply wants to observe us...and I don't think the Cardassians are  the leaders of this plan. It’s beyond them
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Join me in my ready room... ::turns to Esjam:: CIV: Commander you have the bridge.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::walks to his Ready Room::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the captain, then turns back to the OPS and nods to him as he walks to the ready room.::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO/XO: Sir, I've run some internal scans or anything unusual. Aside from residue energy readings in several areas of the ship there’s nothing to lose
Entity says:
:: approaches the CMO and overlaps her body and begins to draw out her consciousness ::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::read navigational logs and hopes he finds something useful::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: stares intently at the floating ball of energy::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::turns back to his console::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Aye Sir ::sits in the Big Chair::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::as the regenerative field shuts off, he presses a button and the bio bed slowly raises him up to a sitting position:: Spanner: I had the nurse shave my head...looks better than a few strands of hair, right?

ACTION:  The CMO's body falls to the floor.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::turns to the CIV before he disappears into the RR:: CIV: Keep me informed.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::hears a thud and looks to his right::
Spanner says:
CEO:  Yes, it does.  I could have done that for you though.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
Spanner: What was that?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Stops as he almost bumps into the captain and whispers:: CO: Don't stop that suddenly, sheesh.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Yes Sir
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks alarmed as he sees the CMO fall to the floor:: All: Attention! The CMO went down ::Points at 2 nurses:: Nurses: Help me put her on that bio bed
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS>:: looks around the office seeing the CMO's body on the floor feeling a sense of happiness ::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: Is there any way we can enhance internal sensors to detect anomalies?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Enhance yes, but to scan for what exactly?
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS>:: quickly leaves the sickbay moving anyone in the way ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::sits behind his desk:: XO: I need your theories on this.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Grabbing a tricorder he quickly scans the body of the CMO for anything that might have caused her to collapse::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::wants to stand up and check to see if s(he) is alright, but then remembers he's not able to walk yet and tries to get a nurses attention:: Nurse: What happened!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*ACEO*: Understood Engineering, keep us up to date.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::pulls up a star chart on the view screen with an overlay of the navigational logs::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Sits down as well.:: CO: Sure... about err... what exactly?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: I really can't say for sure, anything unusual that might explain what’s been going on here
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*OPS*: Yes sir. Engineering out.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: You remember the last lot of entities we picked up?
Entity says:
:: follows the CMO closely ::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: sees an officer heading towards her grasps her knife in her hand and moves quickly towards him::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Well...if it were a normal thing we'd probably be able to pick it up on internal sensors. If we had a science officer here maybe he could help.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Stammers slightly.:: CO: I err... believe so yes... what about them?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::The tricorder show only minimal brain activity. He puts the tricorder down and picks up the CMO and places her on the closest empty bio bed. He then contacts the CO:: CO: Captain, the CMO just collapsed. No idea what happened though. I'll try to find out
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: slides the knife easily through the officer’s throat watching as the blood gushes ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Well I think we've picked up a different bunch of them from that planet.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
PO1: Bring that matrix online...nice and easy now.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::looks at the screen as the information on it changes from time to time::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Only it seems that these ones are hell bent on causing conflict.
Spanner says:
Rome:  You stay put.  The medical staff will handle it.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: I'm thinking of trying to detect temporal dimensional or spatial anomalies. Anything which does not fit with our reality
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
Spanner: I don't have much of a choice...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::sighs:: CO: I can only hope you're wrong about this...
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: smiles and hurries to the bridge::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Maybe we can learn something from the CSO's last scans. ::reroutes the info to the OPS console::
Entity says:
:: delights in the violence and continues to follow the CMO ::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: gets into the turbo lift ::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
Turbo lift: Bridge.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Believe me Zoran, so do I but if I'm right then these new entities have the power to bend reality and influence people to fight with each other.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: Sound thinking. It may be nothing but I'd like to cover all options for the CO
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Kind of reminds me of when the Tzenkethi had Scalosian technology...but there are a few major differences
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
PO1: There... that's it, now bring the couplings on, from left to right, counter clockwise.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::accesses astrometrics database, more navigational logs, and current sensor logs and displays them on the view screen::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: Then we once again have to figure out what these entities are attracted to. With all the dying and stuff, it can't be happiness... perhaps they're onto fear or perhaps fright now?
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Sir, what's happening? ::strains his eyes, but all he can see is a blur of uniforms::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: looks out onto the bridge, sees so many life forms all waiting for their lives to be mine::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Understood. Anywhere you'd like me to start?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: Really? I must confess you've lost me. Don't forget I'm just a simple tactical officer ::grins::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Or they feed off of the violence and destruction that they're causing.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: brushes past the OPS stroking his antenna::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: Begin with engineering, then work through the other major areas of the ship, sickbay, science labs, armoury and so on
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: Perhaps, but how do these Cardassians fit in? Worse even... how were they able to manipulate us or them, if I may call it that?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the bio bed:: Rome: Is that you? My god, what happened? ::restrains himself:: Rome: Never mind now. The CMO collapsed.  
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts a scan of engineering to bring up all elements contained there-in:: CIV: Aye Sir
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: That, I'm not sure of but like I said I don't think it's a coincidence that we were both called to the same location for the same reason.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Yes sir, it's me....is she alright?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::shivers run down his spine as he senses something is not right:: CIV: Sir...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: And when you factor in the fact that relations between the Federation and Cardassians aren't all that good at the moment....
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: Not again.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: Sir, I can't find what's wrong with her. She has low brain activity and lots of adrenaline. It almost seems like she's... dreaming very deep... and having a nightmare
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: wraps her hands around the OPS neck and squeezes tightly laughing evilly ::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
FCO: What is it?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CO: I can't disagree on that... ::Pauses for a moment.:: We just need to find out how to 'sense' these entities and see if we can once again be able to lure them off
 
ACTION:  As OPS begins to feel the life being strangled out of him.  A faint outline of the CMO's body can bee seen.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::suddenly breaths heavily once, then stops as if gasping for air::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Si...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::falls to the ground::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: watches as the lifeless body falls to the floor, looking for my next victim:: Self: Choices choices who's next?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CIV: Sir, I sense something. Something what shouldn't be here.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Captain to the bridge
Entity says:
:: floats up near the ceiling, enjoying the violence.  ::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: I don't know to be honest. I'm a researcher, not a medic. Not at this level anyway
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I have received reports from all these people ::motions to the pile of PADDs on his desk:: that they saw shadows and lights moving out of the corner of their eye... that could well be it.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: senses that someone knows I am around and looks straight at the FCO::

ACTION:  The CIV is forced away from OPS

CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CO*: To the bridge
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: We better just let the nurses take care of it...I hope she's alright.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::gets up and pushes on to OPS again::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Lifts a corner of his mouth.:: CO: I just thought of something... ::Taps his finger on his lips.::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Someone has to fix this. ::points to his disfigured and bald head::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::looks up:: *CIV*: What is it Commander?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels as he's being looked at and feels quite uncomfortable::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: Go on Zoran.
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::brings the secondary relays from deck 14 online, straining the power flow::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: Well, the lack of hair might even be attractive to some. I think.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: glides behind the FCO twiddles the gleaming knife between my fingers and slides it down the FCO's face::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CO* OPS has been attacked and has collapsed. I have no idea what attacked him. Some unknown force is stopping me from reaching him
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::manages a smile:: CSO: But not the rest. ::laughs, his voice raspy and unfamiliar::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to speak a word but can't as his eyes go purple::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
FCO: Can you beam him out of there?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: You see what I mean?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Leans forward:: CO: If these entities enjoy watching violence... what if we made some kind of device where we can contain these things and show them 24/7 movies from the 21st century? Perhaps we can 'trick' them in believing it is real?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::screams in pain::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Talking reassuringly:: Rome: I'm sure you'll be alright. I've seen worse ::thinks: though not much worse::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CIV*: Beam a medical team to the bridge with full kit Immediately!

ACTION:  OPS finally loses consciousness.  His windpipe crushed and slowly dies.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::frowns:: CO: Sir?
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Thank you sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::turns to see what’s going on with the FCO::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: slides the knife into the FCO's back twisting it deeply enjoying the violence::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*Sickbay* Medical emergency, medical team needed on the bridge now
Entity says:
:: begins to glow brighter as he watches the CMO commit more acts of violence ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I don't think we have the power to trap anything on the holodeck until we figure out how to deal with it... besides, we're needed on the bridge. ::stands up and walks to the door::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::falls from his chair::
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
*Bridge*: Bridge, Engineering. Good news, the Third backup IDF has been replaced, and we are starting work on the phaser array now.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels blood flowing out of his face and back::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks as the nurses are working on the CMO. It becomes apparent that the nurses really have no idea what is wrong::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::sees POS stabbing the FCO, runs across to the POS in an effort to get the FCO to safety::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: glares at the CIV and stops him in his tracks::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Watches the captain walk to the door:: CO: Wait, we don't need the holodeck Ethan. We still have a stack of those old movies in our cargo bay. Remember? They're a part of the supplies for the colony. If we were to set up some kind of emergency unit on the planet... heck on A planet even...  ::takes another deep breath.:: It might just work.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::steps out onto the bridge:: All: Report!!!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: Do you have any idea what's going on? People don't just collapse and things are kind of hazy after I arrived at ME
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::pushes against the invisible force holding him, frustration building::

ACTION:  The damage to OPS windpipe is starting to repair itself and he is beginning to breathe again.

CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> ::looks over at the CO:: Self: Oh the big bad captains come out to play now :: grins evilly::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Sir, you were dead...like many of us.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CMO: What are you?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::passes out::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: Dead huh ::is silent for a moment:: Rome: How did I look? 
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: Better than me, sir.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::shouts:: All: HEY! Someone wanna talk to me?!?!
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> CIV: I am me... an energy being.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wakes up with eyes bulging open and gasping for air:: CIV: What, no one called a Doctor, you'd have just let me die!!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::With some humour in his voice:: Rome: Is that supposed to make me feel better? Anyways... How did I die? Last thing I remember is that I was standing in front of ME with a Cardassian
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: This..............thing has been attacking the crew ::points at the POS::

ACTION:  The Entity is now quite visible floating near the ceiling.  Glowing brighter with every act of violence.

CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: glides next to the CO mimicking his movements and laughing ::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::looks in amazement at OPS:: OPS: I thought you were dead?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: Commander, that "thing" happens to be the Doctor.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: I'm sorry sir, all I know is they brought you in at the same time as me. And I was in Engineering... you must have been close by.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Getting no reply, he looks down, grunts a moment and gets up, moving out onto the bridge as well.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CIV: Or not...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CIV: Not this time, Commander!
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: I know Sir, but it isn't. It, she throttled OPS and stabbed the FCO
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Computer: Locate Doctor Numark!
Computer says:
CO:  Dr Numark is in sickbay.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, I saw the Doctor...
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: From what I gathered from the nurses talking you saved this ship and all aboard. I guess I’ll thank you for that when this situation is over. 
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: steals the CO's phaser and begins to fire at certain parts of the bridge::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Computer: Confirm!
ACEO Ens Strauss says:
::grabs a cup of tea from the replicator::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: Glad to hear it, and I did call Sickbay. Although they aren't much use when you’re dead ::grins::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::ducks to avoid phaser fire::
Computer says:
CO:  Dr Numark is in sickbay on life support.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::ducks behind his chair::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::smiles:: CSO: Please....no more thank yous. Heard nothing else all day. I almost wish I had stayed dead this time around.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
All: Apprehend that.... THING!!!!
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
Computer: Erect force fields around the bridge, seal it off from the rest of the ship
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: whispers in the CO's ear:: CO: C'mon you know you want to kill me. :: turns herself invisible to the human eye::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::sits up::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
Rome: I'll buy you a drink then when we can walk to the lounge without getting killed

ACTION:  The Dr's body begins to convulse a bit on the bio bed.

CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
ALL: Where did it go?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::grabs for his phaser... knife... whatever he was carrying and finds it isn't there::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
CSO: I could use a dri....::looks over at the Doctor::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Somehow, I don't think violence will work this time ::rubs his throat::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks up as the CMO's body starts to spasm:: Nurses: Isn't there anything you can do? ::Walks over to the CMO and starts an extensive scan::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: fires at the CO killing him ::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::walks over to the FCO to see how he is::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
Spanner: Karri, please love... can you get that grav-chair there for me?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::Stands bolt upright and then falls down dead::
MO T`Mara says:
:: runs to the CMO and looks at the readings then taps her COM badge :: *CO*  Sir, the CMO's brain activity is decreasing.  We need either a Vulcan or Betazoid or Ullian down here.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::gets back to his console::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: glides to the XO and trails her fingers through his hair::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CO: Captain!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::still unconsciousness::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::or dead in the meanwhile::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
Nurse: Good god woman! Give her something to alleviate the stress on her nervous system!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::coughs and opens his eyes::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::throws a ball for his dog in riverside park, Darlington, England, EARTH::
MO T`Mara says:
Rome:  There isn't much I can do.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::takes the chair handle and slides into it from the bio bed::
CMO LtJG Numark says:

Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::moves the chair over to the CMO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sits upright on the floor::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::While waiting for the scan to complete he looks at Rome to see if he needs a hand::
Dog says:
::runs for the ball, tail wagging::
Entity says:
:: glows brighter with each act of violence ::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks where his scan left off, a bit dazed::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::wonders what to do...::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::touches his face to feel if his face is still split up::
MO T`Mara says:
*Bridge*  Anyone, the CMO's brain activity is decreasing.  We need either a Vulcan or Betazoid or Ullian down here.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*Bridge*: Would someone answer Dammit!
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::Beginning to wonder when the entity will attack him::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Commander, Sorry... I was dead. Not every day you can use that excuse.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: glides into a console and plays with the settings::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::confused and taps his COM badge:: *MO*: Gnav here, on my way.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
*CSO* This is Esjam, we have a serious problem. The Entity is here and it keeps killing the crew
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
OPS: can you get a force field around that...........thing?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::stands up, wobbles a little and heads for the TL::
MO T`Mara says:
*FCO* Good.  Hurry!
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: steps in front of the CIV and stabs him in his heart twisting and turning the knife::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*MO*: Lieutenant Gnav is on his way. ::tries erecting a force field::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*OPS*: At least you're original. But as the nurse said we need a Vulcan, Betazoid or Ullian here. The CMO seems to be the first that hasn't died yet
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::dies::
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::hears the COM:: *CIV*: Commander Esjam! That thing...how does it read on the scanners?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CSO*: Yes, Vonir is on his way. I just hope he makes it alive.
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::gets no reply::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<POS> :: wonders where all the lovely life forms are going ::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::bleeds, a lot::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*OPS*: Thank you
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
*Bridge*: Bridge, this is Rome! Patch the scans of that thing down to Sickbay!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::exits the TL and enters Sickbay:: MO: Here I am, what can I do?
Dog says:
::takes the ball back to the CO, still wagging his tail::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Rome*: Here! ::transfers the data to sickbay:: CIV: It's no good sir, I can't get a force field
Lt Jonathan Rome says:
::floats over to the main display and brings up the scans::
