Episode 223 “Third Party Intervention, Part 7”: The USS Atlas has lost contact with one of the away teams she sent to the Moons surface, meanwhile the  USS Luna has sent their own archaeological team to the surface to investigate the ruins on the  surface.  Meanwhile unbeknownst to both crews Cmdr Singh has encountered a very hostile alien on the surface and  has so far managed to drive it off, but what was it doing there?  Meanwhile the medical team fight to keep alive another of the Atlas' officers who has apparently been  attacked by some sort of animal and whose wounds are in a state of flux.

OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CO: No, sir, so far nothing new.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We need to leave this place before it comes back.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*MO*: Doctor?  How is the patient?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Notices a small fluctuation in the power relays for the sensor array::
Host XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Looks around the room and nods to the picture above, her phaser still set on high and in her hand, ready:: Torn Suu: I take it that species was responsible for the decent of your race?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::hearing the captain he rips off his rubber gloves and wipes the sweat from his brow::  *CO* Not good sir.  If we don't find a source, and/or cure for this man's ails.... I'm going to lose him
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*MO*: Understood.  Keep at it and report when you have progress.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::standing at the back of the Bridge watching things going on around him::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::hears the console beep as it completed it's search cycle.  Turns to face the screen::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Captain - has Starfleet Intelligence encountered anything like what the doctor is seeing?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::scratches head as he continues to read::  *CO* Aye sir.  Will do.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Reconfigures the relays to compensate::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We do not believe so, there are no records of them in any data we have collected, however the data could be missing
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::pulls up the Starfleet database containing an similar attack about 50 years ago that left the tissue in a sort of temporal flux::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Nothing, this is the first time
EO_Smyth says:
@:: At base site monitoring the encampment::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
:: Reads power fluctuation in his console, and receives info it was corrected from engineering:: CEO: Lieutenant, what happened to the power, sir?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Walking back up and through the ruins:: Torn Suu: It was after you, not me.  If you have no knowledge of them in presence, there must have been something from the past.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: walks into sickbay :: MO: Sorry I'm late. slept through my alarm.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: Laddie, A'm not sure...But it'll be fine ....A'm on top of it...
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::places a hand on his forehead wondering if he should attempt the same cure.  Wonders if the cure will kill the man::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: And as they say, there is always the first time for everything
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CEO: OK, sir, if I can help, just let me know.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::turns facing the CMO arrive::  CMO: Commander, I think I may have found a cure but I'm worried the cure may be a killer.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Suddenly wonders if the universe has decided to block their progress on the original mission in every way possible ::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: in what way Commander?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: Well Laddie, A'h think A'h can handle it....for now
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: Perhaps, or from the present.  Either way we need to leave this place
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CEO: OK, sir, I'll be here if you need any help.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: I found an entry in the Starfleet database where a similar attack by an animal left someone with the same type of temporal flux in their wounds.  The tissue was apparently stabilized using intense Theta Band Radiation on the infected areas.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: Thank ya Laddie
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::smiles:: CEO: Not for that, Lieutenant McGregor
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Am I hearing you correct? Theta Radiation?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Frowns:: Torn Suu: I do not take kindly to be chased away from someplace by someone who has no rights to it.  If my ship is still in orbit, I am going to request extra security and hang loose in the area.  Unless there is a reason I should not... ::Looks curiously at Torn Suu::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods and points at the viewscreen::  CMO: Aye
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Enters sickbay as she hears Dr. Lynch and nods in agreement of similar findings.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: You know the dangers of any exposure to theta band radiation? it disintegrates any organic matter it comes into contact with.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods at Silver as she enters::
EO_Smyth says:
@*XO*: Commander this is Smyth checking in sir. Base site is secure and functional
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: But you are being chased from somewhere you have no rights to either ::blinks slowly::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Perhaps the Theta Radiation is polar opposite to the temporal flux?  ::looks at the SO::  CMO/SO: Sort of like adding a base compound to an acidic compound.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: Both can be hazardous on their own but when introduced to the other....
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: We've got to try something... this man is going to die either way.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ Torn Suu: Is this place not abandoned?  Then it belongs to no one... ::Pauses and turns around:: Unless you are coming to reclaim this planet.  Which by the way, brings up another point.  For all these centuries your people have remained 'hidden'.  You realize, that has changed unless something is done?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*EO*: Keep your eyes open.  Our hosts were almost attacked.  Place your weapons on the highest setting.  It did not kill it, but it did seem to wound it enough to chase it away.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Interesting hypothesis. Do i quick test on it and see
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::smiles a slow smile:: XO: You are right, this place belongs to no-one.  ::blinks::  We have no been "hiding" as you put it, we have simply been elsewhere, once we are gone things will be the same, we will be elsewhere
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Chief?  While we wait to move on, can you trace back the ion trails away from the planet?  Where did the transport vessels go to and come from?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods and moves over to the Atlas crewmember removing a sample of infected tissue::  CMO: Doctor, I'll need you to continue to cauterize this man's wounds to keep their advance to a minimum.  ::takes the sample over to one of the science tables::
EO_Smyth says:
@XO Aye sir...My phaser is ready.. I have the camp circled with sensors
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: Do you have any major objections to our putting you in our report?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Captain... Ah'll do ma best ta find that out sir
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Gotcha. :: grabs the cauterizer and continues cauterizing the wounds until the MO gets back.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::places the Petri containing the tissue on the table and surrounds it in a force field::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*EO*: Check to see if the ship is in orbit.  We are heading back now.
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I would think you lapse as explorers if you didn't. ::looks warily at the exit to the surface:: The creature will be waiting.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::satisfied the force field is stable he subjects it to minimum levels of theta band at first and slowly moves the parts per million up until he sees results::
EO_Smyth says:
@*XO*: Aye sir ...The ship's there alright
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Captain these ion trails don't make sense
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: How so, Lieutenant?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Nods:: Torn Suu: True, however, that knowledge can be restricted.  There is also the point of making friends not enemies.  ::Quiets as they near the entrance.  Pulls out her tricorder and scans the area.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: How're you doing?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Well sir..The incomin set come in at 170 mark 23.....The out goin at 244 mark 16...Then end about 300,000 kms out...Ah would assume they jumped to warp ...Just ma theory sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Difficult to tell just yet sir.  I'm increasing the dose at very marginal levels to analyze the outcome.  I don't want to shear off this man's right arm in the process.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Ah would think they would come an go the same way
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: very good call. I'm not making much headway here so I'd appreciate some expedience!
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: No indication of direction?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Unless...
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: No sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Self: Expedite he wants.  I'll remember that when he's on the table....  ::begins seeing and effect on the tissue::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Any word from the XO yet?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Quietly:: MO: The cause is from sort of reaction to the DNA left behind in the wounds.  The away team would be susceptible.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Not yet, Captain.  :: ponders a moment ::  Please contact her for an update.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: The incomin and outgoin trails make it seem as though they came from nowhere for sure
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Shakes her head.  Quietly:: Torn Suu: 10 meters ahead, I am not reading anything.  Is that from your people or the alien, which seems to have the same ability.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods at Silver::  SO: Good point Lieutenant.  ::turns to the CMO::  CMO: Sir would you mind informing the Captain that I think we've found a cure and that the Away Team should be warned as any contact with the DNA of this animal will cause similar ailments to them?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Ah traced there possible origins on a stellar map...No direct inhabited planets on those courses
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: This is Capt. MacPherson-Quest, what is your status?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sees the temporal flux is completely gone but wants to see how far he can push the radiation before it begins disintegrating the tissue::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@::thinks for a moment:: XO: My people are not near the entrance, I would suggest it is the creature.  I do not believe your weapon will be sufficient to stop it.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Gotcha. You figured out how we can repair this mans wounds yet?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CIV*: Playing hide and seek with a rather large ummm... bird species that does not like to play nicely.  My phaser at the highest setting chased it away, but did not kill it.  I believe it is about 10 meters away from where I am located.  If you scan the area, you should pick up a dead zone.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*CO* Sir a heads up for the AT any contact with this animals DNA in any sort of way can cause the same reaction as the atlas crewmember down here in Sickbay. Advise we pull the team out.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: You know doctor... if you keep pestering me someone is going to die, and it won't be the patient.  ::turns back to the test::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Understood, keep us posted
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: Is slightly taken aback :: MO: Are you threatening me commander. If so I’ll have you relieved of duty and placed for psychiatric evaluation.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Quietly:: Torn Suu: You realize that this aliens abilities, similar to yours, is a good indicator of some connection.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins to see what level the tissue begins to degrade and notes the radiation level at that moment::  CMO: Doctor I think I've conducted a safe enough exercise to know where the healing begins and the tissue degradation starts.  ::moves over to the patient::  CMO: OK... we need to surround his wounds in a forcefield
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Scan this area, I'm sending you the co-ordinates now.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: stands aside :: MO: You take the lead.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CIV*: Actually, I had in mind that you see if you can get a lock on it and if not, perhaps a heavy stun to knock it out?
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CIV: Yes, sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Why do you say I'm threatening you?  Perhaps you may need some time off yourself sir.  Now if we can take care of our patient....
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: We are aware of this.  Perhaps if we can study it we will find out.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Notices another fluctuation in the sensor array::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Begins a diagnostic::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Cmdr. Singh says that she tried and kill this giant bird like alien, but it had no effect on it.
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::scans the area, notices the position of the AT members, plus two alien life forms::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Uncertain:: Torn Suu: We shall see...
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CIV: Captain, i read the AT members plus two alien life forms.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Does she require ship based weaponry?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sets up a forcfield around the man's wounds::  CMO/SO: Doctor, Lieutenant... I suggest you two stand in the next room.  ::motions behind the double glass doors::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: She wants to know if we can lock onto the creature and see if we can stun it
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Aren't you goign to take any precautions yourself. You're at great risk here.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Set phasers for their lowest intensity and prepare to fire.  :: always hates putting one life above another ::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Nods and heads out::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye ::he moves over to TAC 1::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: I'm trusting the forcefield will hold... but incase it should fail in any way....  No need for the two of you to die too
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::sets the phasers and tries to lock on the creature:: CO: I'm trying to lock in on the creature now
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Does not find any problem with the diagnostics; sensors still fluctuating::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CIV: Captain MacPherson, why don't we try the shuttle weapons first?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Glancing down at her tricorder, she frowns:: *CIV*: It appears to be moving toward my location, very slowly.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*TR_Chief* Keep a lock on the MO and at any sign the forcefield protecting him from the theta band radiation, beam him out of sickbay.
TR_Chief says:
*CMO*: Understood sir.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: and I expect you to stay alive too. :: moves away through the double doors ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: I'm trying to ascertain a lock on it now to see if I can knock it out
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Captain, Ah'm havin a bit of fluctuation in the sensors,  Ah've run diagnostics.. They say nothins wrong..But there is
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods at the CMO thanking him::  CMO: Let's end this.  ::moves over to the controls::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Perhaps we cannot trust onboard diagnostics.  Send damage control teams to personally investigate
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Looks at Dr. McDonald and then back toward Dr. Lynch::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Aye sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::takes a deep breath and sets the theta emissions to the level directly between where the healing began in the test and the tissue degradation started::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Looks at Torn Suu and his companion::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I think I have a lock on a big lifeform, not sure if it is it, but I'm going to fire a low intensity stun on it.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
*EO_Someone*: Damage control to sensor relay pod 2..Ah have a fluctuation.. an Ah want it found
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: nods slowly ::  CIV: Fire when ready
EO_Someone says:
*CEO*: Understood sir on our way
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::lets the air out of his lungs and initiates the pulse within the forcefield around the patients infected areas::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan fires a stun burst onto the big alien bird::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: watches intently from the other room ::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins seeing some results::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I shot a burst down on it
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Sir damage control finds no problem with the relays...However they noticed a feed back loop

@ACTION: Even set to their lowest setting the ships phasers burst through the atmosphere and hit the planets surface at the exact point that they unknown alien was about to pounce from, the XO hears a gasping wail and then silence

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*EO*: The alien is moving toward my location...  I may need your assistance.  Gather our people to a safe location and send security in my general area.  However, stop about 15 meters before reaching me.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: I shot a low intensity stun at it, did I hit commander?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Cause, Chief?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::a smile starts to stretch over his face as the results are looking positive::  CMO/SO: It's working!
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*CIV*: I believe you did.  We heard a gasp.  The question is if it was harmed or not.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Dunno sir, but it seems ta be comin from your ready room....sir
SO_Lt_Silver says:
MO: That is good doctors.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Understood
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO good job. and the field seems to be holding.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Ah'd like ta checkout your ready room...sir
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: The commander thinks I may have hit it, but is uncertain if it stopped it
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I suggest we find out ::walks slowly out of the ruins::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Raises an eyebrow slightly and stands from his chair ::  CEO: You're with me.  CIV: You're in charge for a moment, Captain.  See to the XO's safety.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Just a little more...
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@*EO*: As soon as you are in place, let me know.  ::Moves closer to the entrance to look out.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::readies his finger over the cancellation button::
EO_Smyth says:
@XO: Aye sir
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye ::moves over to the CONN::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*Transporter Chief* Transport controls to this location
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Locks down engineering 1 and follows the CO
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
OPS: Monitor the sensors will ya Laddie
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::stops the theta radiation, removes the forcefield and quickly moves over to the patient to scan the wounds::
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
CEO: yes, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@Torn Suu: Slowly...
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::sensor show a new fluctuation::

@ACTION: The XO can see just a few meters from the entrance the prone figure of the winged alien that attacked them, it is not moving

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Walks to the door of his Ready Room, and waits for it to open and light before stepping in ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@:: Walks beside the female as that seemed the original target.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO/SO: I think we did it....  ::smiling bigger::  Goram...  I think we did it!!
EO_Smyth says:
@XO: In place Commander
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Right behind the Captain::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Somthin has ma craw Captain
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Looks up and sees the small group. Points toward the downed alien and motions them closer.::  EO: Weapons at ready.
EO_Smyth says:
@XO: Aye sir ....ready here

ACTION: The lights in the Ready Room seem to be not functioning again, however the room is bathed in a deep red glow

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
*CIV*: The alien is down and not moving.  We are approaching now.  We will contact you as soon as we have more information.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins scanning the entire patients body to see if any of the tissue may have inadvertently received a dose of radiation::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: In the name o Nessie
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Understood
OPS_Ens_Mussambe says:
::when the doors of the ready room open, Musse sees a red light coming from there::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Moves toward Lynch's side.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Steps in slowly, scanning with his eyes, letting the CEO's tricorder monitor what he cannot see ::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sees Silver come up beside him::  SO: We did it Lieutenant... we actually did it!
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Looks at the tricorder readings::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Nods, looking over their patient curiously:: MO: If something is running around the universe with such an ability, we will need something less... dramatic.

@ACTION: As the XO moves closer its obvious that the alien is dead, a small metal device lies next to it in several pieces

CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: What ever it is  sir...It has tremendous energy potential
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Ah cannot make out any shapes to be sure of sir
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs and nods::  SO: I think that's where you and I should begin working together on such a device, and then write a paper on it.  ::smiling at her::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: It's like an energy mass

ACTION: The source of the light appears to be radiating from the painting of the Briar Patch on the wall, the gasses in the picture slowly swirl

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Kneels down and frowns as she finds the alien dead.  Guilt touches her, but only briefly as she considers the damage to the other ships crew and its attack on her hosts. Seeing something metal, reaches over to pick up a piece.::
EO_Smyth says:
@:: Scans the area and watches the XO::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Well now....What do ya make of that?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Watches the painting curiously, stepping closer ::
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Quietly:: EO: Let the ship know.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Careful Captain...Ah have no answers from this tricorder to show any safety margin

ACTION: In the middle of the painting is a small silver vessel, quite obviously a nebula class vessel and very obviously damaged

CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: What ya seein Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Curiously reaches for the other pieces and places them together.::
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Captain?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: It's... unknown.  There's a damaged ship in the painting.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Looks up:: Torn Suu: I have seen something like this before.  Have you?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: What ship?
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
:: Steps closer::

ACTION: As if the Captain willed it the image zooms in and the writing on the hull can very clearly be seen. "U.S.S. Luna"

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Tries to peer at the ship, wondering how close he can get - if the forcefield is still active ::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Making sure all appears well, she nods:: MO: If you have no need of me, I will begin my report on this.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
Aloud: Well Ah'll be buggeled
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods smiling and patting the SO on the back::  SO: Absolutely Lieutenant.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Indeed.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Ah don't like the looks of that ....It's like were lookin in the........
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: congrats. I would have never thought of that.. I'll make a CMO out of you YET!
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I have not.  Although I believe it is a primitive design of something our race once developed
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: What is the situation with the alien?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::turns to the CMO thinking he was a CMO::  CMO: Thank you sir.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@::Curious:: Torn Suu: Can you tell me more?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Don't go getting TOO ahead of yourself you haven't gotten that title. YET..
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Sir?  I said thank you...  ::looking curiously at the CMO::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CEO: Now, Lieutenant, it's only a painting.
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Aye sir...Was it like that before?
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: I know you did. And I'm saying you have potential :: dropping hints and what may be coming ::

ACTION: As the Captain leans in closer both him and the CEO hear a voice whisper gently "But paintings can open up so many possibilities"

XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Nods toward the EO to let him know the situation.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Well... if you'll excuse me Doctor....  I need to go take a moments rest.   May I be excused for about 30 minutes?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: I haven't received any word from the XO yet about the status of the alien
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Leaving sickbay, heads back to the lab and the cultures from the planet.::
Host Torn_Suu says:
@XO: I don't believe I can, I have told you everything I know of this matter, perhaps someone else discovered some of our races old archives.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
MO: Very well. go take your well deserved nap. I'll monitor our patient.
EO_Smyth says:
@*CIV*: Luna this is EO Smyth...The attacking creature has been immobilized
CEO_Lt_McGregor says:
CO: Now that made ma day sir...What’s that supposed ta mean
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*CIV*: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
@ ::Nods standing:: *CO*: Request permission to beam the alien aboard.  Also, we are possibly dealing with the unknown species during the Stilgar incident.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*EO*: Thank you Mr. Smyth
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: An engineer Smyth just called in and said that the alien has been immobilized
XO_Cmdr_Singh says:
