SO_Taliza says:
CO: It's trying to push us into that star.

CNS_Cook says:
*CMO* I have an Eng Officer down here, who just lost it.  Where are you putting patients who can wait for medical attention?  I had to use drugs to calm him down.

CMO-LtCmdr_OMallory says:
*CNS* That is the last of the medical supplies.  Needs to stay there for now.  Sickbay overflowing, keep me updated on condition.

$ ::Slightly panicked::  McFly:  I'm getting us out!  We have them in hold.  ::Plots a course for the sun::

OPS_Benson says:
CO: I suggest we lock onto the Orion ship with our tractor beam.  If we're going to go, let them go with us.

Host CO_Spencer says:
OPS: A good idea.. 
*Any Officer in Security* Get a team over to that ship and get control!

CNS_Cook says:
*CMO* Understood, it looks like he is going to be spending more time in my office then in sickbay though.
