ACTION: SOME DOMAN SHIPS HEAD FOR GRYPHON

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@COM:CO: Captain I cannot determine this at this time. This is an unknown virus with an unknown species... hard to say.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CMO* Keep me informed.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::thinks:: CSO: Oh man... makes sense.. but.. can we disable them with out destroying them?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::receives the data from Data Channel Omega and begins to analyze::

FCO_Adams says:
:;sees three ships drifting towards the Gryphon:: CO: Captain, changing course to avoid incoming ships!

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@COM:CO: I am attempting to treat one now, but he is not responding. Perhaps he is too far gone.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@CMO: Do what you can...

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: A good idea..

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: Cap... Captain, some are drifting toward us!

EO_On says:
*CEO* I have the status for the force fields of the shields are decreasing, right now is at 93%.

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Your a big boy, do something about it. : grins::

CTO_Hunter says:
@::continues to snoop around in the ships data banks::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'll try to locate a point on the Doman ship, so we can fire a phaser.  Let's see... ::tries to locate::

FCO_Adams says:
::maneuvers around the first one easily::

Host CO_Spencer says:
ALL: Please try and contain your reactions.. yelling is not helping matters. CEO: The FCO is capable of moving us out of the way.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@::Sees patient dying before her, stands up and scans for others who are still alive on the ship::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Report please.

EO_On says:
::looks carefully at his console, seems to be that is a problem with the memory card of the computer matrix::

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over the CEO briefly and then back to her console::

CEO_Taylor says:
::sees FCO looking at him:: *FCO* Anything wrong with me?

CTO_Hunter says:
@::frowns and mutters....so much for that idea::

XO-O’Mallory says:
@CTO: See if you can find out how it came aboard this ship.  Was some type of weapon used?  Transported aboard?

CTO_Hunter says:
@*Gryphon*No master control on the flagship...

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Is the virus airborne? Can we clean out their environmental controls and feed in fresh.. air. Or whatever it is they are breathing.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@XO: There appear to be 175 still alive on this ship.

EO_On says:
::replaces the memory card from the computer matrix and get a new one::

FCO_Adams says:
::comes up on the second ship and sees that it's rolling over out of control::

XO-O’Mallory says:
@*CO* The virus is airborne from scans...

CTO_Hunter says:
@XO: Best I kind discover so far is the virus started on one of ships in the fleet after a visit to a class M planet.  I sent all data to the Gryphon for our computer to track.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: We have 4 more dead ships.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stomach gets sick on that piece of news:: CSO: Alright.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@*CO* Working on way to rid it from here.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: And the information sent by CTO shows the same way.  The virus is airborne.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@XO: The virus I have detected from scans is indeed airborne; everyone who has breathed the air in here has come in contact with the virus.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* ::repeats:: Can we clean out their environmental controls and feed in fresh.. air.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@*CO* Ship is old and needs repair.  Not sure we would have enough time.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Any way of helping that by cleaning out the air they have now so we can treat them?

EO_On says:
*CEO* The force fields of the shields are at 90%, but I have find the problem, It stop decreasing, now is increasing at 0.3% every half minute.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns the Gryphon quickly to starboard::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::identifies a spot on the Doman ship to disable::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@XO: I suggest that we find patients in the earliest stages possible and try to effect treatment on them.

CTO_Hunter says:
@::hears the CMO’s comment and makes sure his suit if working correctly ‘cause it would sure be horrible to get this bug::

XO-O’Mallory says:
@CTO: Can we 'air out' this ship?

CTO_Hunter says:
@::Checks on the XO’s question::

CTO_Hunter says:
@XO: Well not in time to do them any good and even if there a slim chance...::Pauses looking for the right answer:: I really doubt I want to try. I am not sure the ship system could handle it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: If we fire on this specific coordinate on each of the dead ship, we can disable them all.

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Now, the thing is to make them go up.

FCO_Adams says:
:;ignores the CEO's comment::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns to CEO: Any way of setting up a cargo bay to keep them in... Can a containment field be used in that capability?

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Dang it. Can we try?

XO-O’Mallory says:
@*CO* I will give it a go sir.  CTO: Help out CMO when done with data.  I will try to get the virus out of here.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Can you not blow them up when we do?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@::scans to try to find a patient who is in an earlier stage of disease::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Aye.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: We'd need a huge containment field to make sure that everything stays in, but I'd need a few minutes to set it up.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@::looks for environmental controls and begins working on it::

EO_On says:
*Bravo Team* The force fields of the shields are increasing, please make them go faster.

FCO_Adams says:
::picks up the third Doman ship coming straight at them dead center:: All: Hold on everyone, this will be close.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Well, we have two options:  Burn up the remaining air, this will definitely kill the virus.... and the Doman, or we can make an air change.

EO_On says:
<Bravo Team> Aye, Sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::listens to the CO’s question::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CMO* Any way to test the virus to see if our containment field can hold it in, with out escaping through our own ship?

CTO_Hunter says:
@::finish his download and begins triaging the patients...helping those he can::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@::continuing to scan and read tricorder:: XO: There is effective treatment for Federation races aboard the Gryphon. Would you like time to have the staff administer immunization to the crew?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AS THE CEO MOVES TRACTOR BEAM TO THE NEXT SHIP EACH CONTINUES TO DRIFT WITH NO PATTERN.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Yes, if we use 1.34 GHz on our phaser shot. ::glances the CEO::

XO-O’Mallory says:
@CMO: A good precaution...make it so.

FCO_Adams says:
::brings the Gryphon about abruptly and hard to port::

EO_On says:
::looks at his console, now the force fields are increasing 0.9% every half minutes::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Begin making preparations to have a completely air sealed cargo bay in CB2... quickly as possible.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@::continues with environmental controls::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CEO: Can we replicate fresh air canisters to put on the victims of the illness while they are on their own ship.. At least keep the virus from getting in any further into their bodies?

EO_On says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: Sure, so do you want the cargo bay theory or the canister theory to be done?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Alright.. be careful ::paces the bridge looking out at the viewer::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@COM: CO: There is treatment available for fed personnel and races... I will have the staff do immunizations and preventative measures.

CEO_Taylor says:
::keeps tractoring the ships out of each other's way::

FCO_Adams says:

CTO_Hunter says:
@::tries to block to cries of the dying as he attempts to save some one...anyone::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::thinks of all those victims:: CEO: Which ever is quicker and done yesterday.

EO_On says:
::leaves ME to cargo bay::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears SCI console, access the information from TAC::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CMO* You have a cure, already? Will it work on the remaining crew of the Doman ships?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@COM: Sickbay: Administer all the crew immunizations against retroviruses.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: The EO is making the preparations for the cargo bays, I think that this one is the safest.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::prepares to fire::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@COM: CO: I do not have a cure for the Doman, I have preventative measures for our crew.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, ready to fire on you command.

XO-O’Mallory says:
@*CO* I think I got it to work...filtration in progress.

EO_On says:

Host CO_Spencer says:
::does not understand.. but then she is not a doctor:: CMO: Alright.. we are setting up something right now that will help aid your work.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
@XO: I have found a fairly healthy Doman life sign two decks down. Should we go to get him?

XO-O’Mallory says:
@CMO: Yes...might have some answers for us.

CTO_Hunter says:
@::steps away from on alien to another attempting to render aid where it might do some good::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::fires::

EO_On says:
*CEO* CB2 is now air sealed, sir.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: We'll be ready to transport Domans in the CB in 2 minutes.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::hears his console calling him again:: Self: Now what?....

CEO_Taylor says:
::goes to TL:: TL: CB2.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* We need to run a test first… before we transport anyone. Test out a containment field on one of the shuttles with the virus… have the CMO get a sample.

CMOLlewellyn says:
@XO: please follow me.

XO-OMallory says:
@::sees filtration systems still working, but not well::
