Episode 166 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 6: Trying to Regroup."  Captain Savar along with Cmdr Singh and Lt Qui tried talking with the grey called Zickfle.  What they learned was disturbing.  They want the humans help for harvesting body part in return for domination.   They are at war with a species called the Knosis, a violent race by all reports.  It was also learned that there is a myth within their race of a gem/orb that was hidden on earth.  This orb would help solidify these beings making them a force to be reckoned with.  Unbeknownst to the greys, the gem has been found and is currently residing on the Vesuvius.  During the conversation Cmdr Jarek returned to the Luna with the help of the Shadowman.  When this being decided to play with the Cmdr at this time is unknown and what was his purpose on brining him there.  Is the Shadowman scared of these beings?  Do the crews of the Luna and Vesuvius have more to worry about then just loosing their body parts?  Captain MacPherson-Quest has been checked over by the Vesuvius medical team and has been returned to the Luna.

:: On the bridge tapping her fingers in nervous anticipation.... ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: In sickbay, waiting...::
CO_Savar says:
::In Sickbay, watching Zickfle::  CSO: At least he has ceased his demands that we submit to him...
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@::steps onto the bridge, and approaches Commander Darvo::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::looks up as the Captain enters:: V-CO: how are you feeling?
V-EO_Vneef says:
@::Walks around engineering, telling crewmen to run diagnostics on various systems, and running constant diagnostics himself.::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: Better...I have been briefed about the Luna's warning of the gem we have onboard.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  No sir... he is simply ignoring us now.  I believe the phrase is... 'we are no longer worthy'.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: I assume the gem is secure?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CO: Sir, I have V-CSO looking into it now sir, she's down in the lab.......::thinks::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps off the transporter pad, says his greetings to the transporter crew, walks out to head for the Bridge::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CO: One way to find out, sir
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Then I do not care to show him anything.  Please have security see to his... arrangements.  He is not to be left unsupervised - ever.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: Commander Lane, do you have a report on the "item"?
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Understood sir...
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: adjusts her  environmental suit helmet as she prepares to lower the containment field surrounding the gem ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns toward the tactical officer with them.::  TO_ Johnson:  Please escort our guest to the brig.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan walks into the turbo-lift down the hall from the transporter room:: TL: Bridge
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I will go with them and see to the set up.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  I will be speaking with the Vesuvius.. when you are complete, please join us, as my Acting Executive Officer.
OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> *V-CO*: Captain!  Captain, please come in!  :: Voice is excited ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::checks with the security officer on duty that there are several guards posted next to the lab::
TO_Johnson says:
::Moves toward the alien::  Zickfle:  This way sir...
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: Have Commander Lane replicate several decoy gems.  Superficial replicas only.  They may come in handy should we be invaded.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@:: begins to scan the gem with the hand tricorder to verify the readings :: Self: Well they seem to correspond, even down to the Gamma radiation.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Aye sir...

ACTION:  The Gem on the Vesuvius begins to pulsate and the Grey in the Luna sickbay begins to glow.

V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-Tac*:  Yes, Ensign?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CO: Aye sir, I'll see to it.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Stops before the alien::  Zickfle:  If you would....  :: Pauses.::
CO_Savar says:
::Leaves Sickbay, and rides the turbolift to the Bridge.  As he steps out, he looks around::  OPS: Lieutenant Qui, please open a channel to the USS Vesuvius.
Host Zickfle says:
::Looks at the CSO and smiles.::
OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> *V-CO*: Sir!  That cell in the brig where the alien was being held!!!  Well...it's back...and it's not moving!
OPS_Qui says:
:: Nods ::  CO: Aye sir...   :: Moves to the OPS console and opens a channel ::   CO: Channel opened, sir
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps off the turbolift onto the Bridge::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-Tac* You mean the alien... the alien is back?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::looks at the CO::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Vesuvius: Vesuvius, this is Captain Savar.
OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> V-CO: Aye sir!
V-XO_Darvo says:
@<V-OPS> COM: Luna. come in.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::The Star Fleet Intelligence Officer walks and then stands beside the Captain::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: Ah, Commander Darvo.  Any new developments?
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-Tac* Standby...a senior officer will be down shortly to investigate.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: Sorry Commander, I didn't quite catch that. Please repeat.

ACTION:  As the Grey continues to glow the radiation, coming from his body allows him to slip through the force field.  He walks towards the CSO.

OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> V-CO: Aye sir
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: Commander Lane, scan the gem, and replicate several copies and have them transported to the RR.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: By the way, the gem has started pulsing. Has something happened up there to make this happen?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@COM: Luna: No sir, nothing new. I am having Lane, at the Captain McGrady's request replicate fakes of the "item", sir.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: Replicate duplicates? May I ask why ma'am?
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: Number One, I'd like a few words with Captain Savar.  Could you investigate the alien in the brig?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: There appears to be a repeat of the alien in our brig.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
*V-CSO* Commander...I'd like replicas, superficial replicas only, as decoys in case we are boarded by the aliens.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::nods her thanks to the CO::
CO_Savar says:
::Waits to speak with Captain McGrady::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::watches for a moment then speaks:: CO: As you can see Captain, I am back.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CO: I have Captain Savar on the com, he wishes to speak with you.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: shakes her head and prepares to make the duplicates :: *V-XO*: Tell whoever has access to gather some of their DNA before we lose it. I need that sample Commander.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: Excellent, Number One.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: Captain Savar, this is Captain McGrady. Copy?
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: Captain McGrady.  I will be blunt - we must find a way to turn this situation around.  I do not believe being on the defensive will allow us to accomplish anything
V-CMO_Uax says:
@ :: sitting in her office pouring over the reports she has accumulated ::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: Agreed.  Do you have a particular course of action in mind, Captain?
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: begins the replication process ::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: I believe that getting into one of the tetrahedrons or saucers would allow us access to information we would not have otherwise.  We may even be able to capture a drive system to get us home.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CMO* Doctor, meet me in the brig, bring a medical kit.
V-EO_Vneef says:
@::Climbs a ladder up to the 2nd level of main engineering. His tricorder blips wildly.:: Self: Hm.. looks like these EPS conduits need replacing... ::Walks over to the hardware replicator.:: Replicator: Four EPS conduits. ::They materialize, and he replaces the faulty ones.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CO: Sir, I'll be in the brig if you need me.

ACTION:  Captain MacPherson-Quest listens to the Captain's conversation with an interested ear.  His hidden recorder device, copies everything.

OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> :: Watches the alien for any movement and wishing someone would tell him what's next real soon...he's getting creeped out ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@*V-XO* Aye Commander. I'm on my way. :: grabs the nearest medical kit and heads for the brig as ordered::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna:  We have played around with the idea of following in the mother ship behind a returning saucer.  One attempt got our FCO abducted, but it may be worth another try.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-TAC* I'm on my way, has there be any movement from our guest?
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@V-XO: Very good, Number One.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: Any information you gathered from that attempt to explain how she was abducted?  Perhaps running without power... or following closer?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::takes her leave of the bridge and enters the TL:: TL: Brig.
OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac>  *V-XO*: Not yet, ma'am...   :: Coughs nervously ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@ :: Arrives at the brig and stands outside the door waiting for the XO ::

ACTION:  The Grey moves to one of the consoles and accesses the computer.  He begins downloading the information and storing it in his highly developed mind.

V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: finishes two duplicates and checks them over while a couple of others are still being made ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::exits the TL and turns left, coming up behind the V-CMO::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna:  We were transported through time during the attempt.  When we emerged here, our FCO was transported to the tetrahedron, and we could not retrieve her, though we have since got her back.
TO_Johnson says:
::Hand on his phaser::  Zickfle: Stop what you are doing and step back
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns back to the alien, not liking the smile.  Raises her phaser with one hand and her tricorder with the other to see him walk towards her.:: Zickfle:  Stay where you are...  Johnson:  Inform the captain of the situation.
Host Zickfle says:
::Continues to read the computer console.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::V-TO: I want a security officer posted at every exit to this level.
TO_Johnson says:
::Nods::  *CO*: Captain, the alien is accessing our computer....
V-EO_Vneef says:
@::Consoles start blipping near the warp coil panel.:: Self: oh my. ::Runs a level 5 diagnostic, realizes the problem, and realigns the coils.:: Self; Things seem to be breaking willy-nilly down here... I hope we don't get into a fight.
OPS_Qui says:
:: A light starts to blink on her console ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@::Sees the XO :: XO: What do you need my presence for?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: Run a scan on the alien, I want to know what's its made of.
CO_Savar says:
*TO*: Then stop him.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Aims her phaser and fires at the alien.::
Host Zickfle says:
::Jerks and his knees buckles but continues.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: And it's condition....
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan continues to listen with high interest at the CO's plans::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::never takes her eyes off the creature::
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Confirmed sir...I'm reading access from one of the medical consoles....
TO_Johnson says:
::Ups the setting on his phaser and fires at the alien::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna:  Something curious, Captain...is this a secure channel?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Stops, increases the level and fires again.::
Host Zickfle says:
::Falls to the ground and dies after being hit several times.::
CO_Savar says:
::Looks towards Qui::  Qui: Did you initiate a secure channel?
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: is satisfied with the duplicates although she can't seem to get them to pulse :: *V-XO*: Commander Darvo, this is Commander Lane. I have your duplicates ready but they aren't going to fool anyone for any length of time.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Stops and looks what she has done, part of her feeling like she is dying inside, the other part...  sighs.::
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Of course I did sir
V-CMO_Uax says:
@:: walks in with the XO :: Looks around :: pulls out a tricorder and starts scanning the creature through the force field.
CTO_Jarot says:
::hears the TO over the comm sighs::  CO: Captain, you need me to head down there and lend a hand so to speak ?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: Excellent and thank you Commander, I'll notify the CO.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
COM: Luna:  This gem...we did not find it on the Terran Surface.
TO_Johnson says:
::Looks at the CSO::  CSO: Commander... there was nothing else to do.  They are our enemy.
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Sir, do you want the bad news or the badder news first.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CO*: Sir, the duplicates are ready, do you want them in your ready room, sir?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks at Johnson and nods her head sadly.::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: Where did it come from, then?
OPS_Qui says:
:: Starts to reroute power from the medical console in an attempt to shut it down ::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-XO* Yes, Commander.
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: What happened?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks at Savar, then at the viewscreen with McGrady::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CO*: Aye
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: We found that gem inside a device aboard the derelict Andorian freighter.
CTO_Jarot says:
*TO*: Lieutenant... I could use a status report on your situation...  ::glances at the internal sensor readings::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@*V-XO*: So far nothing I can definitely say on the scans without getting into the cell with the alien.
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  I do not know how much information was acquired or if he was able to do anything with it, but... I fired on him sir.  He is dead.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: What kind of device, Captain?
CEO_Jarek says:
:: In main engineering, A bit out of uniform but there none the less ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO* Commander, have them brought to the CO's ready room. Give them to one of the security officers outside.
TO_Johnson says:
*CTO*: The alien is... dead, sir.
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Has a sense of deja vu::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Walks slowly over to the alien and lightly touches him.::
V-CSO_Lane says:
:: packs the replicas in a small box and then calls the bridge again :: *V-OPS*: Bridge, please lock onto a small box one meter in front of me and transport it to the Captain's ready room.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::thinks:: V-CMO: Are you certain it's no longer living? ::narrows eyes::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna:  At first we believed it to be a cyanide device that wiped out the whole crew.  Our crew was able to unlock it with some difficulty, and inside was the gem.
CTO_Jarot says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Self: That went quickly... odd...  ::reformulates his response::  *TO*: Understood... can you determine how much information it was able to extract from our central computer ?

ACTION:  The CSO jumps back as she receives a shock from the alien.

V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Quite Certain of that. I am detecting no definite life energies from it.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Finds herself in an undignified position.::  Hmmm... :: Does another scan.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::makes a command decision::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Harm.... how are you holding up down there ?~~~~
TO_Johnson says:
::Moves to the console and pulls up some sort of access log::  *CTO*: Looks like medical files... human physiology.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::Looks at the V-TO:: V-TO: drop the forcefields and let the CMO in.
V-EO_Vneef says:
@::Continues to patch things up in Main Engineering:: *XO*: Sir, do you need any repairs made on the bridge?
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~CTO:  I honestly don't know.  I never killed someone before... knowing I would kill someone.  He is dead Alec.~~~~ :: Looks at her burned hand as her pain receptors kick in.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CO*: Sir, I am allowing the V-CMO into the brig to take some scans, sir.
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Working on the Mains while his staff works on weapons and shield power ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-EO*: Check with the CO, I'm not on the bridge right now.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: The life form seems to be in some sort of hypothesis, and quite nicely preserved from the energy from the gen.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: This device... do you believe it was made by an alien source?
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: Standby, I will ask my Chief Science Officer.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-CSO* Commander Lane...
V-EO_Vneef says:
@*V-XO*: Understood. Good Grace, Sir.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::the V-TO reluctantly drops the forcefield::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-CO*: Lane here sir.
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Senses a lot of anxiety on board the ship ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Feels like crying as she reads the scans, noting the flagged DNA.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::nods to the V-CMO:: Doctor: be quick and careful.
V-EO_Vneef says:
@*V-CO*: Sir, do you need any repairs up there on the bridge?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::looks serious::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-CSO* The device that you found the gem in...do you believe it could have been designed by the grays?
CTO_Jarot says:
::raises an eyebrow again::  Self: Darn... not good...  ::glances at the CO::  CO: Just for your information, Captain... the alien that infiltrated the ship and tapped into the computer apparently absorbed information human physiology and more...  I have a bad feeling about their intentions at this point...  ::thinks for a moment::
CO_Savar says:
::Motions to MacPherson-Quest::  CIV: Captain...
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Decides to let it pass and continue working ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I'd like to volunteer myself to infiltrate one of those tetrahedrons Capt. Savar
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-EO* The bridge is in good repair, thank you, Mr. Vneef.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Aye Ma'am. Will do.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-CO*: It's possible sir, but I can't give you a definite yes or no on that.
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Understood.  Did you detect any sort of communications emanating from this ship?  Subspace, telepathic - anything?
CTO_Jarot says:
::sighs softly::  ~~~~CSO: I can imagine what you feel, but hold onto the fact that you did it for best of this crew.... your friends...  keep that in mind... ~~~~  ::smiles faintly as he tries to give the CSO some support::
V-EO_Vneef says:
@*V-CO*: Understood, sir.
CO_Savar says:
CIV: I was about to suggest that myself.  You have unique training, and have been aboard one of their vessels.  Those two things make you especially qualified.  Will you require assistance?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Quietly:: *CO*:  The alien's body still possess an electrical charge.  And he has the organs from McDonald.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Thanks Johnson as he helps her up and takes her over to the medical table.::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-CO*: From what I can understand, it seems to be only one part of something bigger or rather something more powerful.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::doesn't take her eyes off the grey or the CMO::
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: Curious.  ::Would ask if she was certain - but of course she would have scanned twice::  A strange coincidence, do you think?
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  I know... in my head, I do know this. ~~~~ :: Does not notice a tear slip down her cheek.::
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: Captain Savar...it is possible that the device was created by the grays, or perhaps by the Knosis in an attempt to protect the gem from their enemies, but we do not know for certain.  My Science Chief believes it to be part of a larger device.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::thinks for a moment:: CO: It would be easier for me to do it alone, but since these aliens are more than I can handle alone, I would require some assistance to watch my back
CTO_Jarot says:
::searches his feelings and nods at the CO::  CO: Aye, Captain...  I've felt telepathic emanations coming from the mentioned alien...  I suspect that it was relaying its acquired information to the others...

ACTION:  Small electrical charges can been seen coming from the Vesuvius grey.  Residual effects only.

V-CMO_Uax says:
@:: Steps into the cell after deactivating the forcefield and running a closer molecular scan on the gray in the cell ::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: You'll be fine, Harm...  we'll get through this stronger then ever...  trust me...  ~~~~
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  I don't know sir... we have lost too many people to these aliens.
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Then we can assume they received... some information.  CIV/COM: Ves: Captain McGrady, this is Captain MacPherson-Quest, my intelligence officer.  I intend for him to lead the team onto the tetrahedron - but he and I feel is appropriate to give him some assistance.  Can you spare perhaps a tactical officer... ::looks at the CIV:: ...will you also require a computer specialist?  Or anyone else?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@:V-CMO: Doctor, is that electric discharges coming from the grey? ::almost walks into the cell::
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO: I know... later, perhaps you can convince my heart?~~~~ :: A sad smile that is replaced by a wince as the doctor treats her hand.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: Do not get any closer, Doctor.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@ :: detects the small electrical charges coming from the gray :: V-XO: Yes it is. I am about to end the scan. I can scan as well from sickbay, or outside the cell.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods at the CO::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@:: Stops the sans and slowly starts backing out of the cell ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CO*: Sir, we're seeing electrical discharges coming off the deceased alien.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods in agreement with the CO's assumption::  CO: That would be my assumption as well, Captain...  I suggest we keep them out from now on, especially with their newly acquired information...
CO_Savar says:
COM: Ves: And your CSO, if you can spare her?
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Fully re-energizes the mains ::
CSO_Singh says:
TO: Put the alien in a stasis field... maximum.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-CSO* Are you available for an away mission, Commander.  The Luna has requested your presence?
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: You can count on it, Harm... just keep going... I will watch your back... you know that... ~~~~
TO_Johnson says:
CSO: Aye, ma'am.  ::Gets a nurse to help set up the equipment and test it before turning it on::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: Doctor, finish up, I don't like having the forcefield down.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@:: Clears the cell entrance way and pulls the forcefield back up behind her :: Turns around and walks over to the nearest console :: V-XO: I can probably get a detailed scan of those electrical charges from here.
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  As I will you... don't worry about me now... later you can.~~~~  :: With a grimace, gets off the table, flexes her hand and thanks the doctor.::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-CO*: Sir? Are you sure that's a good idea at the moment? I mean this gem needs further study and all.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@*V-CSO* Understood.
V-Capt_McGrady says:
@COM: Luna: Captain Savar, unfortunately, all of our officers are needed here.. we're stretched thin due to repairs and casualties.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: Agreed, go ahead and return to Sickbay and I'ld like a report as soon as possible.
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Captain, unless you need me in sickbay, I will be joining you on the bridge.
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: Understood.
CO_Savar says:
CIV: Is there anyone amongst our crew, perhaps?
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Understood :: spins around and heads for sickbay to make the necessary adjustments so she can scan inside the cell ::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Roger that, Harm...  how are you two doing with the dead alien ? ~~~~
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: Commander, were you able to get the DNA sample I asked for?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::nods to the V-TO to keep a 24 hour watch on the alien and to call the bridge if anything changes.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Pauses next to Johnson to make sure things are alright, then shaking her head, she says a quick prayer to Buddha and heads out.::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::looks at the Doc:: V-CMO: did you get the DNA samples for Commander Lane?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: standby.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Jarot is an experienced Officer, if he wants I'll take him with me.
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO: Johnson is placing him in stasis and I am heading for the bridge.~~~~
OPS_Qui says:
@<V-Tac> XO: Yes, ma'am...    :: Is still creeped out by the alien, but is glad his shift is almost over ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: I knew I forgot something. I do not dare go back in there, until I can explain those electrical charges
CEO_Jarek says:
*Bridge *  Engineering to bridge, the mains are fully operational...We shall have full weapons and shields soon....Shields are 75 % weak aft...weapons 70 % photon torpedoes still down
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-TO: Creep is part of the game, Ensign, get used to it.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::sighs::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, bridge.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: Ma'am, those samples are critical to my work. I must have them.
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Commander?  Your opinion?
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: I'l go back in if they are that important. :: stands in front of the shield :: Looks back to the XO: XO: Drop the shield and then raise it behind me.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: Commander Lane, unfortunately we did not get those samples. The alien was giving off electrical discharges and I did not allow the Doctor to go any further into the cell.
CO_Savar says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Commander.  Keep up the good work.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V:CMO: Hold on.
CEO_Jarek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.
CSO_Singh says:
:: As the lift stops, steps quietly onto the bridge and over to her captain.::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@::: Looks back at the XO ::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: Then I will come and collect them myself. I have to have them if we are to find an alternate solution to their dilemma.
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Acknowledged...~~~~  ::looks up at the CO::  CO: I'm sorry, Captain...  my opinion which matter...  I wasn't following your discussion with Captain MacPherson...
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO* Stay where you are, we'll get them.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::looks at the Doctor::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: I'm ready as I'll ever be. :: takes a deep breath ::

ACTION:  Due to the increased electrical charges of both aliens on the ships.. and energy build up occurs...  to the point that both bodies explodes.   The V-CMO now has his DNA samples and lots of it.

CO_Savar says:
CTO: Captain MacPherson-Quest is going aboard a tetrahedron.  Can the Luna spare you so that you can go with him?
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-CMO*: Don't botch the test doctor. Be careful.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Looks like I will have my choice of what samples I take.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks over at the CTO::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: go ahead and get what you need and see that the CSO gets her samples.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: I have complete confidence in my staff, Captain... they handle things while I'm away...
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Understood steps inside the cell and takes cellular samples as well as some macro samples :: Self: This should be enough.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: The Doctor will give you what you need, Commander. The alien is no more, the discharges caused it to explode all over the cell.
TO_Johnson says:
*CSO*: Um... Commander?
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: resets the containment field and moves away from the area where she can remove the hot suit ::
CSO_Singh says:
*TO*:  Singh here....
CO_Savar says:
CIV: Then you have your assistance.  Is there anyway we can get a transporter beam aboard, or will you require a shuttlecraft?
V-CMO_Uax says:
@*V-CSO*: I have the samples Hope, both macro samples and cellular samples. I'm on my way to the lab.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Listening to the upcoming idea, not happy about it, but given it was her original suggestion, she has little to say.::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@:: remembers something :: *V-CMO*: Any chance you can collect some stem cell samples Doctor? That would be most helpful.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: Please send one of your med techs down here to clean up and store the remains in stasis.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Carefully watches her console ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Consider it done. *Sickbay*: Send a med tech to the brig for medical cleanup and decon.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I think that a shuttlecraft might be a little much, give us away. Maybe if we can find a way to do it, then I suggest transporting over
TO_Johnson says:
::Stays out of the way of the medical staff::  *CSO*: The alien... exploded, ma'am.  Not certain why - the nurses are checking it out now.  It's... quite a scene down here.
V-CSO_Lane says:
@*V-XO*: He just informed me Commander, but thanks.

ACTION:  Qui hears an increase in communication traffic from earth.  Precisely military communications from Arizona...  an alien craft has crashed.. military going to investigate.

V-XO_Darvo says:
@V-CMO: I'm heading back to the bridge.
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Be careful... remember, you are supposed to convince me later.~~~~
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-CSO: You do realize stem cells are not found in an adult body.
CEO_Jarek says:
EO-Ralph: I am going to the bridge.. See to the final repairs.....
CSO_Singh says:
*TO*:  I am on my way.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@*V-CSO*: Aye, Commander.
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant, is there any way to punch through those shields of theirs?  Perhaps you and Commander Jarek can come up with something.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-XO: Understood.
CSO_Singh says:
CO: Captain, the alien exploded.  I am needed back in sickbay.
CEO_Jarek says:
< EO-Ralph> CEO_Jarek: Aye sir
CSO_Singh says:
:: Quietly turns around as he is busy and steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, sickbay.
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::removes herself from the carnage in the cell and almost runs to the nearest turbolift, her stomach ready to retch::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: heads for her main lab anxious to begin work on the alien bio matter ::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Heads for the TL::
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins faintly::  ~~~~CSO: Certainly... I intend to keep that promise...~~~~
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Sir... I've picked up increased communications on Earth.  An alien ship has crashed
CEO_Jarek says:
::Enters the TL::
CEO_Jarek says:
TL: Bridge
V-CMO_Uax says:
@:: Arrives at the lab and walks into the lab looking around for Hope ::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Takes a deep breath ::   CO: Sir?  Work with Commander Jarek?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::enters the turbolift:: TL: Drop me off at my quarters, quickly.
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  I will come haunt you if you don't~~~~ ::Steps off and heads for sickbay, entering through the glass doors.::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Steps off the TL onto the bridge::
CO_Savar says:
::Has an idea:: OPS: You said... a vessel crashed?  CTO: Jarot, scan the appropriate coordinates... if we can get the remains of that craft, we will have a craft to obtain access to the tetrahedron with
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::rushes from the TL to her quarters, just making it to the W/C before she is sick::

ACTION: Qui hears panic in their voices along with some paranoia.  There is talk of an invasion.... cover-up...

OPS_Qui says:
CO: Yes sir... military of the time will be investigating    :: Sees the CEO step off the turbolift ::
CEO_Jarek says:
::Walks to Engineering 1::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: turns as the doctor enters :: V-CMO: At last! Thank you for this. Now maybe we can find a way to help these aliens.
OPS_Qui says:
CO: Sir... Earth is panicking.  There is talk of an invasion... and some kind of cover-up?
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-CSO: Everything but the stem cells as I explained they aren't found in an adult person or being.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: On it, Captain...
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::leans against the wash stand, running water in the sink, she looks at her face and is appalled at how tired she looks, the bags under her eyes and tries to think of the last time she got any sleep........::
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Energizes his console...Standing still in his ceremonial robe...tries to go un-noticed::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Hehehehe... you will probably haunt me anyways....  ~~~~  ::grins as he waits for the scan results to come in::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Walks over to the table where Zickfle had been and listens to the nurse.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: That just might work Captain
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::quickly splashing water on her face, she turns from her reflection and leans a moment against the stand::
CEO_Jarek says:
*Engineering*: Transfer full operational status to Engineering 1
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: takes the samples and pulls out her portable scope ::
CEO_Jarek says:
<Ralph> *CEO*: Transferring now sir....
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V_CSO: Do you need a hand or will I just be in your way?
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::she thinks to herself:: Face facts, you're the first to go on duty, and the last to leave, so what are you waiting for?
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Well... Brian might have something to say on part of that.~~~~ :: shudders as she looks at the explosion of biomass.::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@V-CMO: You're welcome to stay and give me a hand. After all you are a medical man. :: grins and winks at him ::
V-XO_Darvo says:
@::stands as she makes up her mind.  She is due on the bridge and quickly leaves her quarters::
CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Captain. Shields are at full power, weapons systems are fully energized ..however the photon systems are still down
V-XO_Darvo says:
@TL: Bridge!
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-CSO:  Tell me what you want me to do.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Takes the rough report and scans through it.::  Blue green coloration... indication of copper... human remains mixed with the alien....
V-CSO_Lane says:
@V-CMO: We need to divide the samples into groups. One for a control group and several for various tests.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Wonders if she should report to the CEO as the CO asked...but with the new developments, decides to wait ::
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-CSO: So in other words like any standard research test. Tell me which you want where.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: If we can use that vessel, great, if not, then a beam over is all I can suggest at this point
CSO_Singh says:
MO_Douglas: Get me samples of just about everything, including a duplicate set for you, one for the Vesuvius medical staff and one for storage.  So that would be a total of four.
CEO_Jarek says:
:: Transfers more power to weapons systems and trying to reroute to photon systems::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@:: grins :: V-CMO: You know, this could be fun, just us girls finding the answers to the alien problem.
OPS_Qui says:
:: Motions for another OPS to take over.  When he does she gets up and moves to the Engineering station ::
CO_Savar says:
CEO: Thank you for the status update.  I'd like you and Lieutenant Qui to focus on getting the CTO and CIV aboard a tetrahedron.... find a way to get through the shields if we cannot recover the downed craft.
OPS_Qui says:
:: In her most professional voice ::   CEO: Commander, the Captain wants me to work with you...   :: Hears the CO and stops ::
V-CSO_Lane says:
@ :: hands her a tray :: V-CMO: Here start with these.
V-CMO_Uax says:
@V-CSO: You're right let's get to it!  And well one unisex person in here :: Points to her belly ::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Sets her jaw ::
CTO_Jarot says:
CO: On that note, Captain.... sensors have detected an vessel in Roswell, Mexico...  readings suggest that is currently swarming with military personnel...
CSO_Singh says:
MO_Douglas:  As soon as you have the samples send the Vesuvius group to them and two to the lab.  Let me know when you are done.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Leaves sickbay, the vision of the alien imprinted upon her mind, needing to get away for a few minutes.::
CEO_Jarek says:
OPS: Very well update me on the situation and possible down sides
CEO_Jarek says:
::Looks at her with a somewhat blank expression::
OPS_Qui says:
:: Turns to the console next to the CEO's and logs in.  Starts to work on the situation ::
CEO_Jarek says:
::Tries to anyway::
