OPS-Qui says:
:: In the secondary command center in Engineering ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::on the bridge wondering the results of the scans.  Notes the CSO is missing::
CEO_Lingn says:
::on the bridge bringing metaphasic shields online to force the ghosts out::
CMO_Lynch says:
::taps badge::  *OPS* Lieutenant, it see that the CSO is missing  ::as he steps behind the CSO console he notes a cloud of dust kick up::  Oh no....

ACTION:  The ghosts become agitated when the metaphasic shields come on line.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Checks power allotments and sees power is available to respective departments, sciences, tactical, flight control, sick bay....  Wonders how things are going on the bridge ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::on his way back to the bridge, having arranged the deployment of security forces to maintain order on the Luna, sweating slightly after having seen the degradation of several colleagues::
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: Sir, if she is missing, please be careful where you step
CEO_Lingn says:
::activates the shields::
CMO_Lynch says:
::continues regaining his composure::  *OPS* As I was saying, it seems we need someone to continue the scans of the asteroids and work with the science department.  Are you up for that?
CMO_Lynch says:
::raises an eyebrow at the OPS Officer's last comment::  *OPS* I'll try to remember that
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sighs ::   *CMO*: Aye sir...I can handle that.
CEO_Lingn says:
::Sets up forcefields to protect the crew::
CMO_Lynch says:
::looks around for the XO::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Transfers sciences from the bridge to her console in Engineering and begins to run scans of the asteroids ::

ACTION:  One of the ghosts hit the shields, Cmdr Jarot is slimed.

CEO_Lingn says:
::expands the shields to drive them out::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Walks into Auxiliary control, and looks around::  OPS: Is this... all?
CMO_Lynch says:
::doesn't see him and begins looking for an area of dust where he was standing:: *CEO* Status of those shields  ::realizing he is the highest ranking officer on the bridge::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks up and sees the CNS ::    CNS: Yes, sir...so far
CNS_Franklin says:
::Suppresses the urge to frown... the situation almost looks hopeless::  OPS: Is there... anything I can do?  A way to make myself useful?
CEO_Lingn says:
::gives the shields full power and pushes them out to encompass the whole ship and take the ghosts out::
CMO_Lynch says:
::walks down to the command area being careful not to disturb any ash or dust::
CTO_Jarot says:
::sees a shadow fly by only to find himself covered with slime::  Self: Oh jeez !!    TL: Get a  move on it, this isn’t fun !
OPS-Qui says:
CNS: Well...can you...    :: Looks around ::
CMO_Lynch says:
::repeats himself::  CEO: Mr. Lingn....  Status of the metaphasic shields if you will.
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: Online.
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: And they are removing the ghosts one by one.

ACTION:  The trapped ghosts are getting panicky.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees her console beep and turns her attention to it... ::   *CMO*: Doctor, I have found inside one asteroid a dampening field...there is various equipment and what looks to be some sort of temperature control
CMO_Lynch says:
::gains a strengthened composure and takes a seat in the Captain's chair::  CEO: Excellent
CTO_Jarot says:
::as the TL arrives at the bridge he carefully steps out, still wiping the small of his uniform with a deep frown on his face::
CMO_Lynch says:
::raises an eyebrow at the OPS Comment::  *OPS* Able to support what type of life Lieutenant?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CNS ::    CNS: Can you look over the science data?
OPS-Qui says:
:: Punches a few buttons ::    *CMO*: It looks like spirit and humanoid life
CNS_Franklin says:
::Looks towards where he thinks the Science console is::  OPS: What.. what would I be looking for?
CMO_Lynch says:
CEO: Keep a close eye on that shield status
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: Aye.
CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Spirit AND humanoid life?  For what purpose?  Can you detect either in that asteroid now?
OPS-Qui says:
CNS: See if the CEO's idea of metaphasic shields are working, and see if there is a way we may be able to...    :: Thinks as she is interrupted ::
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: I'm not detecting anything alive sir...just some disintegrating bones...recent bone at that
CNS_Franklin says:
::Thinks he understands, and tries to call up the internal sensors::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Reads the information and thinks... ::    *CMO*: It also looks as if the equipment is to sustain whatever was inside the asteroid
CEO_Lingn says:
::Makes sure the shield is doing it's job and is given adequate power::

ACTION:  Ghost population down to 42 %

Host CMO_Lynch says:
CEO: Do you think you can erect that shield of your around personnel?
CTO_Jarot says:
::finding no one on the bridge he turns and heads back into the TL::  Computer: Locate Lieutenants Lingh and Qui
CEO_Lingn says:
::Send his shield designs to the Rothchild for use to protect themselves::
OPS-Qui says:
CNS: See if perhaps we can't channel the concept of metaphasic shielding to energy that can be dispersed from the forward array.
CEO_Lingn says:
::erects his forcefields around personal:: CMO: Done.
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Prepare for possible AT Duty and gather whoever you can for that duty.  Lynch out
CNS_Franklin says:
::Eyes go wide::  OPS: Oh... sorry... I don't know if I can do that one...

ACTION:  Not enough power for everyone... shields not erected for all personnel.

Host CMO_Lynch says:
CEO: I mean for healthy personnel on Away Teams.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Jaw drops... ::   Self: Away Team duty?   :: Sighs ::    CNS: That's okay counselor...I think you and I are going on Away Team duty
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: Personal field generators can be adjusted and put on them for that purpose.
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::wonders why the CTO arrived on the bridge and then left again::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Eyes go a little wider::
CTO_Jarot says:
TL: Redirect to the aux bridge
OPS-Qui says:
CNS: We have to find out what that stuff is in that asteroid and see if it can help us here
OPS-Qui says:
:: Taps commbadge ::  *CEO*: Qui to Lingn
CNS_Franklin says:
OPS: Sounds like... fun
Host CMO_Lynch says:
CEO: Good, I want you on AT Duty as well.  ::taps badge::  *OPS* Prepare to beam over to that asteroid.  You are going to take Ensign Lingn with you to monitor personnel shield generators placed on your self and whoever else you take
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: Aye sir
CEO_Lingn says:
*OPS*:Go ahead.
CEO_Lingn says:
CMO: Aye Aye.
OPS-Qui says:
*CEO*: I know your infected, I'm sorry...is there anything I need to do to the personnel shield generators in order to produce metaphasic shielding?  Oh...is that even working?
CEO_Lingn says:
*OPS*: I am coming down there in an EVA suit.
CEO_Lingn says:
*OPS*:I will do it.
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Any other options you can think of Lieutenant?
CEO_Lingn says:
::puts on an EVA suit and sterilizes it::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CNS ::   *CEO*: Okay...we'll be here.    CNS: Looks like we're going to be wearing some type of personnel shield generator
CTO_Jarot says:
::arrives at aux control and heads out of the TL, sighing after the small detour::
CNS_Franklin says:
::Trying to keep up with all of this::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Furrows her brow ::   *CMO*: I don't think so, sir.  We'll find out if there are answers there
CEO_Lingn says:
::enters the Turbolift and heads for engineering::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::wonders where that confounded CNS he's never seen before has gone to through all of this::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Good.  I'll keep an open channel from up here.  ::pauses::  If I can just figure out how to do that.  ::approaches the OPS Console::
CEO_Lingn says:
::arrives in engineering::
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: I'll do that for you from down here, sir...    :: Punches a few buttons ::
CEO_Lingn says:
::moves to Lt. Qui::
CEO_Lingn says:
::grabs a field generator and adjusts it for metaphasic::
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: Here you go.
CEO_Lingn says:
::Adjusts eight more, pretty good for someone with one hand::
CTO_Jarot says:
::walks onto the aux control and quickly determines the situation as he nods at two security officers on watch::
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: Thank you.    :: Takes the generators and tosses one to the CNS ::
CEO_Lingn says:
ALL: EVA suits please.
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::takes a seat at OPS knowing he has only mastered transporter control which may be good in this situation::
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: I'm not sure that's a good idea.  The environment there sustains humanoid life.
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: The EVA suits are bulky and will only hinder us
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: I don't want to take any chances. Plus I have to wear one.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CNS ::   CNS: However, if you feel the need, counselor...then I suggest you put one on
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: You have to wear one because you are infected
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: I'm heading the Away Team...I choose not to wear one
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: We go by shuttle or transport?
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: Transport.  I can handle that from here
CNS_Franklin says:
::Looks at the Operations Officer::  OPS: Do I feel the need?
CEO_Lingn says:
::Rolls up the suit where half his arm is missing::
OPS-Qui says:
CNS: I could use you, Counselor and the EVA suit will be bulky for us
CEO_Lingn says:
OPS: You must deactivate the generator during transport.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks over to the CTO ::   CTO: Sir, we are preparing for an away team mission.  I turn command over to you
CEO_Lingn says:
::grabs a phaser::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Progress Lieutenant?
CEO_Lingn says:
::straps on his toolkit and handless flashlight::
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: The CEO feels the need for us to wear EVA suits. However, I have determined the environment on the asteroid will sustain humanoid life.  The CEO wears an EVA suit because he is infected.  I suggest we do not as the EVA suits will impede our progress
OPS-Qui says:
*CMO*: The CTO just arrived, sir.  I'm bringing him up to speed at the moment.  Command has been turned over to him
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* Acknowledged.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Looks at the CTO: ::   CTO: Sir, your decision
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::steps over to Science where he tries to figure out the sensor pallet::
CEO_Lingn says:
::grabs a medkit and straps it on::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Gives the CTO a personal generator ::
CEO_Lingn says:
::hands out field generators::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at OPS and CEO::  OPS: Get a EVA Suit on...  we're all in the same situation here... and you've both been through the academy and have learned to work with them... besides that... safety before everything in this case...
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at OPS and takes the generator::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Frowns...knowing how bulky those things are and if fine tuning of ANY equipment must be done...it will take longer with EVA suits on ::   CTO: Aye, sir
CTO_Jarot says:
OPS, CEO: I will monitor your progress from here...  be sure to keep an open commline to both the doctor and I  so we can assist when necessary...
OPS-Qui says:
:: Goes and places a generator onto an EVA suit, then climbs into it ::
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Aye. Working with one hand ain't fun.
CEO_Lingn says:
::attaches a field generator and knife::
OPS-Qui says:
CTO: I'm ready sir...
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::thinks he's managed to figure out sensor control and tries a scan of the asteroid in question::
CEO_Lingn says:
ALL: Ready to go?
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at both of them::  CEO: We'll get you back  in one piece again, Chief... don't worry...  CEO, OPS: Off you go, good luck !
CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: Beam us.
CEO_Lingn says:
::presses the beam button::
CTO_Jarot says:
::returns his console and gives the CEO and OPS a final nod before authorizing the transport::

ACTION:  The CEO's other hand falls off and the beam doesn't happen

CEO_Lingn says:
CTO: I have lost my other hand!
OPS-Qui says:
CEO: You need to return to the bridge before you infect the rest of us
CEO_Lingn says:
ALL: I will manage as an advisor. I am fine in my suit.
CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head::  CEO: Very well...  OPS: Keep an eye on him..  ::taps the console and initiates the transport cycle::
CEO_Lingn says:
::attaches something he can move by speech to serve as hands::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Rolls her eyes at the CEO ::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*CTO* Commander, is our Away Team on the way?
CEO_Lingn says:
::gets an ensign to attach them::
CTO_Jarot says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, Doc... I've just completed the transport cycle...  I've arranged the comm channels so that both you and I can follow their progress and speak with them...
CEO_Lingn says:
::Moves his robotic hands::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::nods::  *CTO* Good job Commander.  Let's end this before we lose anymore.  ::looks down at his feet where the dust of the CSO lies::
CEO_Lingn says:
*CMO*:Find a cure!
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*CEO* A cure can only come from understanding.  I believe that is what you are to do over there Mr. Lingn.

ACTION:  The AT appears on the asteroid in EVA suits which is a good thing since it's opened to space.

CTO_Jarot says:
*CMO*: I hear you and couldn't agree more....  ::taps his console and brings up the sensor data from the away team::
OPS-Qui says:
@*CTO/CMO*: Transport complete. We are on the asteroid.   :: See the scenery change and moves to a piece of equipment, opening her tricorder and scans it ::
CEO_Lingn says:
@::Curses in his own language::
CNS_Franklin says:
@::Follows along behind Lt Qui::
CEO_Lingn says:
@::Moves his robotic hand to grab a tricorder and to scan::
CEO_Lingn says:
COMP: Activate Generator.
CEO_Lingn says:
@OPS: Activate generator.

ACTION:  Ghosts swirl around the Away Team.

OPS-Qui says:
@:: Looks over and hits the generator ::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*CTO* Do you have a solid lock Commander?  ::manages to pull up the bio scans of the asteroid and follows the AT::
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Looks at the tricorder ::   *CMO/CTO: The computer is down.  However...
CEO_Lingn says:
@::searches for anything of use::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS* However?
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances down at the transport readouts:: ¨*CMO*: Affirmative.,... we can pull them out at moments notice...
CEO_Lingn says:
@::Scans::
OPS-Qui says:
@*CMO/CTO: There are little bits of...stuff...all over the floor. I think they belong to the computer.    :: Bends down and slowly picks up the stuff::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::feels edgy and quite uncomfortable in this role::
CNS_Franklin says:
@::Looks around at the spirits... this is crazy... ::

ACTION:  A bright light appears before the Luna.... blinding the bridge crew.

OPS-Qui says:
@:: Looks at the stuff and sees they look equivalent to power and information chips ::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
*OPS/CTO* What do you think would cause that?  What does Mr Lingn believe?
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::covers his face at the light::
OPS-Qui says:
@*CMO*: I think this could have happened as a result of our weapons testing when we fired up on the asteroid
CEO_Lingn says:
@OPS: Agreed.
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::tapping his badge with the other hand::  *CTO/OPS* There appears to be a bright light directly in front of the Luna.  What do you guys make of that?
CTO_Jarot says:
::hears OPS::  *CMO*: I'm going to check the tactical logs on the weapons test...

ACTION:  As the light dissipates it is replace by a cylinder looking ship.  No windows, nacelles... The metal is shiny and sleek.  It just sits there.

CEO_Lingn says:
*CMO*: Don't go into the light.
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Sees open slots on the console and places the chips into them ::
Host CMO_Lynch says:
::wonders if the CEO is making some badly timed joke::
OPS-Qui says:
*CTO*: Aye sir...
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Places all the chips into the slots and hits a button she believes will activate the console ::
