::Awaiting response from Command on the "guests”::

CSOBandra says:
ALL: The fire is spreading to the rest of the freighter.

TO_Bishop says:
::Takes position at TAC 2 station, running scans on freighter::

COIan-Ban says:
<MO> CO: The flu is mostly gone.  I'll give you another shot and then you're free to get back on duty.

CEO_McLir says:
::Checking status of tractor beam array::

CEO_McLir says:
*OPS* No damage to tractor beam.  All other systems are nominal.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Turning corner, still enroute to sickbay::   *SB* What's the status on the freighter crew?

COIan-Ban says:
:: Jumps off the biobed and heads for the TL::

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Still no response from Command on our guests.

COIan-Ban says:
Computer: Bridge.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Should I pull the ship back, sir?

CSOBandra says:
OPS: Yes, might as well. Can we get into their computers?  We might be able to vent the ship and stop the fire.

CEO_McLir says:
*OPS* Did you copy my report on the systems' status?

CTO_Bucha says:
::Arrives outside sickbay to find Hobbs and 3 other security crewmen::

Ops_Ander says:
*CEO* Roger that, Commander. Sorry for the delay...things are developing up here.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: We had problems accessing their computer systems before...don't know if it'll work with the ship in its current condition, sir.

CSOBandra says:
Ops: Acknowledged... suggestions?

CEO_McLir says:
*CSO* K'vin, try starting the freighter's fire suppression remotely.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Backing us off...nice and slow. ::hits the appropriate buttons::

CTO_Bucha says:
Hobbs & crew: Set...   phasers...   to stun.

CSOBandra says:
*CEO* Be glad to.  How do we do that, we can’t get into their computer systems?

Host Rob-AGM says:
Action :: The Scimitar begins to back away from the freighter which is in flames::

Host Rob-AGM says:
<Daminon_Zuk>::Laying in sickbay::

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: We could try to punch a hole in their hull, vent the affected compartments to space...it's a little extreme, I know.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: I'll go ahead and try another remote linkup.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Enters sickbay with security crew::

Ops_Ander says:
::Tries to access the freighter's computer::

CTO_Bucha says:
Hobbs & crewmen: Check them for any weapons.

Host Zuk says:
::Wakes up:: All: Where am I?

CSOBandra says:
OPS: I was thinking of that but like you said it's extreme...  try getting into their computers one more time if it doesn't work proceed with that option.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Aye, sir. Attempting remote linkup...

COIan-Ban says:
::Steps off turbolift onto bridge::

TO_Bishop says:
ALL: Captain on the deck!

Host Zuk says:
::Attempts to get out of the bio bed::

CTO_Bucha says:
Zuk:  You are aboard the USS Scimitar of the UFP.  State your name and purpose aboard that freighter.

DrMcCella says:
::Approaches Zuk and begins scanning:: Zuk: You're on the Federation Starship Scimitar, now try to hold still.

COIan-Ban says:
All: At ease.

Host Zuk says:
CTO: I am Daemon Zuk of the Freighter MoneyBags.  Why am I here and where is my Freighter?!!!

Ops_Ander says:
CO: We're trying to access the freighter's computer and access their fire-suppression systems.

CSOBandra says:
::Stands:: CO: Sir we're attempting to access the freighter’s computers to start its fire suppression systems, fire currently occupies 25% of the freighter, we're planning to use phaser fire to vent the ship if computer access fails.

CSOBandra says:
:: At ease, runs scan of freighter::

CEO_McLir says:
*CSO* If Ed can't access their computers from up there, there's not much I can do from here.

CTO_Bucha says:
Zuk: Your freighter is disabled....    you have us to thank for your life.

TO_Bishop says:
::Scanning hull of freighter for spots to punch through::

CMO_McCel says:
CTO: So that's the thanks we get...

COIan-Ban says:
::Nods her head:: Ops/CSO: sounds good.

CSOBandra says:
*CEO* Acknowledged, by the way the CO’s back.

Host Zuk says:
::Scowls at the Hum-man:: CTO: My ship was in top condition.  You had better not so much as scratched it or you pay for the repairs.

Ops_Ander says:
TO: Ensign, program phasers for tight beam and medium frequency.

COIan-Ban says:
::Shakes head and goes to sit down in captain's chair::

CEO_McLir says:
::Looks over toward Keorn and Tor as they run diagnostics::

Ops_Ander says:
TO: We can raise the intensity just enough to create holes for the atmosphere within to vent out. That should put the fires out easily.

TO_Bishop says:
OPS: Aye, sir.  ::Taps buttons quickly, awaits command::

CTO_Bucha says:
Zuk: You were on a collision course with an asteroid...   you're lucky we were able to tractor the freighter....   or you would have no ship at all, mister.

Host Zuk says:
::Glares at the Hu-man and decides that he is done playing with the little people::

CSOBandra says:
CO: Sir fire is now in 35% of the freighter.

Host Zuk says:
::Heads for sickbays door::

Ops_Ander says:
CO, CSO: Still no response from their computers.  It's possible that they're offline.

CEO_McLir says:
::Checks on computer signal to the freighter.  It's working fine::

Host Zuk says:

CTO_Bucha says:
::Draws phaser.::   Zuk: Stop right there, mister!

CEO_McLir says:
::Tries to boost signal power::

TO_Bishop says:
CO: Aye Capt.::Targets several areas of freighter, awaiting command to fire::

Ops_Ander says:
TO: Prepare to target engineering spaces and compartments.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Follows Zuk::  Zuk:  Last Chance!

CMO_McCel says:
::Grabs Zuk and pulls him back to the biobed:: Zuk: not so fast.

Host Zuk says:
Action: Zuk slips past the CTO and CMO.

TO_Bishop says:
OPS: Aye sir...

Host Zuk says:
TL: Bridge.

Ops_Ander says:
TO: The affected areas should be showing up on targeting sensors.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: We're ready, Captain.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Fires phaser  at Zuk....   set to stun::

TO_Bishop says:
CO: Sir, detecting the Ferengi in the TL.  ::locks on affected areas::

COIan-Ban says:
Ops/TO: All right, fire.

CTO_Bucha says:
Self: Damn Ferengi!

Ops_Ander says:
Computer: Computer, prevent access to bridge by non-Starfleet personnel.

CSOBandra says:
ALL: 45% of freighter now on fire.

Host Zuk says:
Action: The phaser misses the sneaking Ferengi and the TL doors close.

TO_Bishop says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  ::Begins phaser fire in three locations::

COIan-Ban says:
::Rolls eyes:: TO: great wonderful.

Host Zuk says:
::Feels the TL stop but the doors not open::

TO_Bishop says:
CO: Shall I shut down the TL, Sir?

CTO_Bucha says:
*Bridge* There is an intruder loose on the ship...::snarls:: Ferengi!   I believe he is headed to the bridge.

CEO_McLir says:
::Moves to Keorn's side and looks at diagnostic results::  Keorn/Tor: Looks like you two haven't missed me a bit.  ::Grins::

Host Zuk says:
::Opens a channel to the bridge:: *Bridge* "This is Daemon Zuk of the Freighter Money Bags I demand to speak with the Captain.

Ops_Ander says:
::Provides target coordinates on hull in front of fire areas::

CEO_McLir says:
<Keorn>CEO: Well, it has been a little interesting while you've been gone.

COIan-Ban says:
*Zuk* This is the captain. I'll talk to you later, I have something more pressing at the moment.

TO_Bishop says:
::Monitors phasers output, notices fire is growing::

COIan-Ban says:
TO: Don't let him on here yet.

CTO_Bucha says:
*Ops* Can you lock on the Ferengi with a transporter?

Host Zuk says:
*CO* More pressing then my ship?  I demand to know what happening to her.   Your hooligans have fired on me.

CEO_McLir says:
<Keorn>CEO: I need to talk to you later.  Something has come up at home.

CSOBandra says:
CO: Sir half the ship is now on fire, the freighter’s internal temperature is dangerously high. It could blow at any moment. 

Ops_Ander says:
CO: The venting doesn't seem to help, Captain...it's spreading faster than we can open holes...

COIan-Ban says:
Ops: Back us off.

TO_Bishop says:
::Punches several buttons:: CO: Captain, access to the bridge has been restricted to SF personnel.

CEO_McLir says:
::Nods to Keorn and moves off to review sensor readings::

COIan-Ban says:
TO: Thank you Ensign.

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Aye, Captain...thrusters backing us off...

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Should I beam the Ferengi into the brig, or back to sickbay inside a force field?

Host Zuk says:
::Bangs his fists on the TL door which can be heard throughout the bridge::

CMO_McCel says:
::Returns to Sickbay::

CEO_McLir says:
::Alarmed at status of the freighter and the proximity of the Scimitar::

TO_Bishop says:
::Continues targeting and phaser fire... can't seem to keep up::

COIan-Ban says:
Ops: Sickbay, he could be sick and they can sedate him.

Host Zuk says:
<Vulcan_Surk>::Awakes in sickbay::

CMO_McCel says:
Computer: Computer, erect a Level VII force field around the main Biobed.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Looks around at his security men. ::    3Crewmen:  secure sickbay....   I don't want anyone else getting out!

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Aye, Captain...pattern locked...beaming to sickbay. ::Engages transport::

CSOBandra says:
::Scans freighter, trying to find cause for fires continuing existence::

CTO_Bucha says:
Computer:  Raise force field at all sickbay exits.

Host Zuk says:
<Zuk>::Falls onto the floor of the TL as he suffers a massive heart attack::

CMO_McCel says:
*MO* McCellan to Maor, Report to Sickbay.

CEO_McLir says:
*CO* Skipper, suggest we back off to at least 15000 km.

MO_Maor says:
*CMO* On my way.

Host Zuk says:
<Surk>::Looks around::

TO_Bishop says:
::Hears thud in TL, scans interior::

Ops_Ander says:
::Notices readings in pattern buffer:: *CMO* Doctor, the Ferengi I'm transporting is suffering a heart attack.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Returns to sickbay doors and lowers force field long enough to get inside::

MO_Maor says:
::Enters the sickbay with CTO::

COIan-Ban says:
*CEO* I appreciate the suggestion.  Ops: Back off to 15000 km.

Host Zuk says:
::Not moving at all::

CMO_McCel says:
::Steps into the Main Biobed Area::

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Aye, backing off to 15,000, full thrusters.

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk: You are aboard the USS Scimitar...  we have rescued you and your ship.  Please state your name and purpose.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Yes sir?

CEO_McLir says:
*OPS* Ed, any luck accessing their computers?

Host Zuk says:
<Surk>CTO: I am First Officer Surk of the Freighter Money Bags.  What is the status of my fellow crewmembers and my Captain Zuk?

Ops_Ander says:
*CEO* None, sir. I tried every access code in the Federation freighter database. No luck.

CSOBandra says:
CO: Sir the freighter is now 65% aflame, unless we can control the fires it will explode in 5 minutes.

TO_Bishop says:
::Continues firing as OPS data comes in::

CMO_McCel says:
::Begins work on the Ferengi::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Yes sir?

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  Zuk is taken care of for the time being....    the rest of your crew is here in sickbay...   receiving our best medical treatment.

CEO_McLir thinks:
::No way now to stop the fires except manually, and that would be suicide::

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Check on Surk but be ready to help here.

Host Zuk says:
<Surk>CTO: And our ship?

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk: Your ship is being held in a tractor beam.  Its engines are disabled.

CMO_McCel says:
::Places neural stimulator on the Ferengi’s head and activates it::

CMO_McCel says:
::Shock One::

Ops_Ander says:
::Gets idea:: CO: We could try to vent carbon dioxide from the Bussard collectors.

COIan-Ban says:
Ops: Go for it.

MO_Maor says:
::walks to Surk’s biobed::

Host Zuk says:
<Surk>CTO: What are you not telling me?

MO_Maor says:
::Begins basic scanning::

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Roger...linking collectors into atmospheric scrubbers...programming to flush out CO2 forward...

CMO_McCel says:
::Shock Two:: Nurse: Courtrazine, 20cc, Stat.

MO_Maor says:
::Looks on the CMO:: CMO: 20cc?  That’s a bit too high don't you think?

COIan-Ban says:
*CTO* How is it going with the rest of the freighter's crew?

CSOBandra says:
CO: Freighter is now 3 quarters in flame.

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  I am telling you everything.   Now I need some answers.    What was your course...  what is the purpose of the freighter 'Money Bags'?

CMO_McCel says:
::Takes the drug and injects along with another Shock::

CEO_McLir says:
Keorn/Tor: Forget the diagnostics, get working on a scheme to save that freighter.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: No, he's Ferengi, not human.

CTO_Bucha says:
*CO*:  The crew is coming to...   maybe you should get down here.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Still..

Ops_Ander says:
CO: Orienting the ship directly at the freighter...activating Bussard collectors, maximum CO2 saturation.

Host Zuk says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CTO:: CTO: We are a freighter.  We were hauling dilithium crystals to McKinley station.

CEO_McLir says:
::All three start punching buttons.::

COIan-Ban says:
*CTO* All right, on my way.

COIan-Ban says:
CSO: You're back in charge. Keep me informed.

COIan-Ban says:
::Heads for the TL::

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  We detected no dilithium, and you were on a collision course with an asteroid....   endangering the crew of this ship and two other vessels.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Listen, with the last Ferengi I had onboard, I used 30 and it was fine, it's required.

CSOBandra says:
CO: Aye sir.

COIan-Ban says:
Computer: Sickbay.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: If you say so.

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  No dilithium cargo....   that is....

Host Zuk says:
<CTO>: Last thing I recall was coming under attack.  Daemon Zuk ordered battle stations. Then I awake here.

CMO_McCel says:
Self: I got a heart beat.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Maor, Popquiz, I need a cardiovascular stimulator that isn't toxic to the Ferengi....

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  Where are you coming from?   And you say your destination was McKinley?

Host Zuk says:
CTO: I would recommend placing K'udge in restraints.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: What is it?

COIan-Ban says:
::Gets out of the TL ::

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: The carbon dioxide is still being delivered.

Host Zuk says:
CTO: From Starbase 121

CTO_Bucha says:
::Nods to security crewmen  as they surround k'udge::

CSOBandra says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Maybe Neurozin?

CEO_McLir says:
::Sensor readings show numerous holes in freighter's hull::

CSOBandra says:
::Scans freighter::

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Correct, We can't replicate it, do we have any in stock?

CSOBandra says:
ALL: It seems to be working, fire down to 65%.

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  Why do you suggests restraints, Surk?

CSOBandra says:
::Notices signs of battle damage to freighter, makes note of it and continues to monitor fire::

TO_Bishop says:
::Targets a shuttlebay door, just in case::

COIan-Ban says:
::Waits for security to quickly raise force field so she can get in ::

Host Zuk says:
Action: Monitoring equipment around Zuk goes off again as he goes into full arrest, again.

CEO_McLir thinks:
::Strange, all the "air" should be gone by now::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: I’ll see, I think we have one.

MO_Maor says:
::Goes to the other room::

CMO_McCel says:
Self: Great, MO: He's in arrest again.

CTO_Bucha says:
Surk:  You say you are 1st Officer...   what is K'udge's position in your crew?

Host Zuk says:
<surk>CTO: He is a Klingon and considering I have no memory what happen. What do you think a Klingon will do when he wakes and the last thing he remembers was being under attack?

CMO_McCel says:
::Uses Cardio Stimulator::

CMO_McCel says:
::ZAP::

COIan-Ban says:
::Hears  Surk and Buchanan talking::

Host Zuk says:
<Surk>CTO: Chief Tactical Officer and Security Officer of course.

CSOBandra says:
::Watching sensors, scans sector for other ships::

MO_Maor says:
::Gets the bottle to the table::

Ops_Ander says:
::maintains optimum position::

CMO_McCel says:
Computer: Computer, lower the force field around main surgical bed.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Motions to security officer's to restrain K'udge before he awakes::

TO_Bishop says:
::Continues firing holes in freighter, returns to previous holes, enlarges them::

CSOBandra says:
Ops/TAC: Keep your eyes peeled, there's evidence of a fight.

CMO_McCel says:
::ZAP Two::

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: They were fired upon before we encountered them?

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Maor, Where's that Neurozin?

CSOBandra says:
::Detects a catalyst on the freighter:: Self: What the...  *CO* Sir I’m detecting something... odd.

TO_Bishop says:
::Starts scanning area for other vessels, warp signatures::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Right here. ::Prepares the injection::

CMO_McCel says:
::Zap 3::

CSOBandra says:
OPS: So it would seem.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: How much do we have?

MO_Maor says:
::Injects the patient::

COIan-Ban says:
*CSO* Odd? How so?

MO_Maor says:
CMO: 100cc.

CSOBandra says:
*CO* I' m picking up a catalyst onboard the freighter sir.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: It's a limited stock, we never used it before..

COIan-Ban says:
*CSO* Could that be what fueling the fire after what we've done so far?

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Any effect?

CMO_McCel says:
MO: We got a heart beat again....

CSOBandra says:
*CO* That would be my guess sir.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: How much did you give him?

MO_Maor says:
CMO: Odd, I injected only 10cc...

COIan-Ban says:
Surk: What were you carrying on the freighter?

CSOBandra says:
Bridge/*CO* Fires onboard the freighter now at 40%.

Host Zuk says:
::Sees a woman approach and notices the four Pips::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: 10cc.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: What type of catalyst? I might be able to beam it off.

Host Zuk says:
CO: As I told your CTO we’re carrying dilithium to McKinley station.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Stands back to allow the Captain to speak with the 'guests'::

CSOBandra says:
OPS: Unsure, could you beam a sample to the lab?

Host Zuk says:
CO: I would like to know the status of the ship.

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Good, Keep it on standby, it's still weak though, and we can't give him anymore without permanent neural damage.

CTO_Bucha says:
::Keeping a close eye on the sleeping Klingon::

COIan-Ban says:
Surk: There is a fire on the ship. We're beginning to contain it.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: I'll try right now. ::Attempts to lock on to sample of catalyst::

Host Zuk says:
<K'udge>::Still out...looking about as peaceful as a Klingon can:::

MO_Maor says:
CMO: I’m reading a odd signal from him, do you see it?

CSOBandra says:
::Scans freighter again, trying to identify catalyst::

Host Zuk says:
CO: How bad?

CMO_McCel says:
MO: Can you be more specific?

COIan-Ban says:
Surk: At last report 40%.

MO_Maor says:
CMO: I’m not sure, it seems like a virus of some sort but I’ve never seen something like it.

Ops_Ander says:
CSO: Still can't get a positive lock on the catalyst...how's the fire doing?

CMO_McCel says:
::Steps out of main surgical bay and puts this virus on the diagnostic console::
