USS Pharaoh
SD 10303.13

Long range sensor readings have discovered some type of rift growing in the Kotaki star system. Enclosed is a detailed image of the area from a long range probe sent to investigate. All sensor readings of the area are inconclusive.

The size of the rift seems only to be 15 centimeters in diameter and is not emanating any radiation or energy. 
Since the Pharaoh was in the area recently testing the defensive systems designed by the Anteres Fleet Yard, Starfleet speculated their might be their might be a correlation.

Proceed to the Kotaki system and investigate with all due haste.

CEO: Very good. Let's get to the ship.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I feel like flying the ship to a spatial anomaly.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Sounds like a plan.  ::grins::
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Mr. McGrady, how's the probe coming?
CO_Trelan says:
Grayson: Commander, you have the station in my absence. Try not to let too many things go wrong in my absence.
FCO_Khrex says:
FCO: I also feel hungry. But that can wait.
CMO_Stidd says:
XO: Sounds like I wont have much to do on this mission so if you want me elsewhere, I am available, sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Just made the final tweaks in the data relay mechanism.
CEO_Irvin says:

CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Why you're awful chipper, sir...
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: I'm glad as well, Eli. I don't know about this kid that Command is sending as your replacement. I mean, an Ensign...in charge of my Engine room?
FCO_Khrex says:
::chipper?::
FCO_Khrex says:
::shakes his head::
XO_Chalen says:
::grins to himself::   CSO:  Yes.....  Yes I think I am.   ::smiles at the CSO::   Must be a good omen. 
CEO_Irvin says:
::riding the TL:: CO: I've been in contact with him.  He has an impressive back ground.  There is this screwball Engineering Specialist on the Claymore that doesn't think very highly of him, but I think that he'll be fine.

XO_Chalen says:
::watches the viewscreen image bank and swells with pride::
O1138_OPS_H`lo says:
# COM:Pharaoh:Acknowleded Pharaoh... Fair Sailing
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to work::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Once we clear the station, proceed to the prescribed coordinates at warp 5.
CEO_Irvin says:
FCO: Chip the paint on those port deck plates and you'll be the one painting them Khrex.  ::having flashbacks of gamma welding::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Setting course for Kotaki star system, warp 5.
SO_Raja says:
CO: Scans do not show anything out of the or-r-rdinar-r-ry yet.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Engage.
CO_Trelan says:
SO: Acknowledged.

FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: Don't worry commander, I can pilot this ship through the Drimus Asteroid belt without a scratch.
FCO_Khrex says:
::engages the warp engines::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Doane, were you able to get a probe ready for launch once we enter the system?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Warp engaged.
XO_Chalen says:
::smiles at the CO::   CO:  Ship under way, sir.  <w> Thank you sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Yes, sir...two, in fact.
XO_Chalen says:
::sits at the OPS station::
SO_Raja says:
::looks over to the FCO:: FCO: The Dr-r-rimus Aster-r-riod belt is not on our-r-r course. Why would you want to go ther-r-re
CO_Trelan says:
:: smiles as he stands, placing a hand on the XO's shoulder ::
CEO_Irvin says:
All: Looks like I've completed my job up here.  I'll be downstairs if y'all need me.  ::smiles and heads for the Turbolift::
CO_Trelan says:
XO: My pleasure, Riggs. Won't be long before you will be doing that from your own chair.

ACTION: The USS Pharaoh leaves the Tenarus Alpha system her engines running smoothly ... for once.

CEO_Irvin says:
::entering the Turbolift::  All: I'm going to miss this place....
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Can't wait sir.  ::grins::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Moves closer to the center seat:: CO: Now that we are under way, I look forward to this being a simple mission.
CO_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CEO as he leaves ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if his Universal Translator is working::
CO_Trelan says:
CMO: As do I, Doctor.

SO_Raja says:
::continues to run scans of the space in front of them::
FCO_Khrex says:
::slaps behind his ear attempting to 'fix' his UT::
CSO_McGrady says:
::slyly watches the SO and notices a marked improvement in his command of the console::
CEO_Irvin says:
::arrives at the entrance to the upper engineering level - enters and stands, leaning against the railing::
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Never did make it to the bar on 1138 to meat you during our layover.  I'll have to find a chance to do that after we get back.  I just know I can drink you under the table.  ::grins::
FCO_Khrex says:
::monitors the navigational systems::
CSO_McGrady says:
::laughs out loud::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Ah....that's a good one sir ::continues chuckling::
XO_Chalen says:
::smiles broadly at his CSO and goes back to his station::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO/CSO: With all due respect, us bolians can hold our own in drinking contests.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO/CSO: I'd drink you both 'Under the table'... uh... sirs.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  With your metabolism, you could probably drink a bowl of termites and not feel it.........

ACTION: An old distinguished gentleman is suddenly on the bridge. No flash of light, no noise, one second no one is there, one second he is there. He is wearing standard civilian clothing with an pin on his left breast of the shirt denoting Ambassadorial status. He has electric blue eyes and no pupils.

CSO_McGrady says:
FCO: If we ever get to earth, all of us shall take a nice long trip to Ireland.
CO_Trelan says:
XO: Commander, you have the bridge.
FCO_Khrex says:
::shocked at the appearance of an old man::
XO_Chalen says:
::stands::
CO_Trelan says:
:: stops ::
XO_Chalen says:
ALL:  INTRUDER ALERT!
SO_Raja says:
::sniffs the air and smells an unfamiliar odor::
FCO_Khrex says:
::draws his phaser from under the helm::
SO_Raja says:
::turns and sees a man::
CSO_McGrady says:
::scans the figure to determine species::
XO_Chalen says:
::points his phaser at the man::
CEO_Irvin says:
::climbs down the ladder - while climbing, hears intruder alert go off::  Self: What the hell.... This was supposed to be simple....
CO_Trelan says:
:: brow furrows ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I didn't realize we allowed guests to just drop in.
Tomure says:
CO: Captain ::bows to the CO::
CO_Trelan says:
*Sec*Security to the bridge!
SO_Raja says:
::quickly runs scans on the new person on the bridge::
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: Do...do I know you?
XO_Chalen says:
::relaxes his aim a bit when the man bows::
Tomure says:
CMO: Mr. Stidd.  I wish I could say it was a pleasure, but this is not a good visit for me.
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders where the person came from::
CMO_Stidd says:
ALL: This is Tomure!
SO_Raja says:
CO: My scans show that he is not her-r-re
CO_Trelan says:
:: looks to the CMO ::
CEO_Irvin says:
::walks over to the master system display::  ALL in Engineering: Secure the bay for Intruder Alert.  Close her up!
XO_Chalen says:
::stares at Stidd, confused::
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the navigational sensors for a ship or something::
CMO_Stidd says:
Tomure: What brings you here then?
CO_Trelan says:
:: smiles slightly ::
XO_Chalen says:
SELF:   Tomure?
Tomure says:
Captain: You must not continue on this mission!
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure/CMO: So this is the Tomure I've heard so much about. Well very little, actually.
CEO_Irvin says:
::hits the Comm Button::  *Bridge* What in blazes is going on up there?  I thought this was going to be a simple mission....
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks at the SO and whispers:: SO: I don't think its a hologram either.
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: Explain?
CO_Trelan says:
:: as if he is a member of the crew ::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I do not think so also. A hologr-r-ram would show on the scans
CSO_McGrady says:
::nods::
Tomure says:
CO: You have no idea what you are getting yourselves into this time.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: If  he is not her-r-re, can we get r-r-rid of him?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: As much as I enjoy old gentlemen appearing from thin air on our bridge, why can't it be beautiful women?
XO_Chalen says:
::doesn’t like the sound of this::
CEO_Irvin says:
::not getting a return com from the bridge, rigs for a text message to the CSO::  *CSO* What's up Doane?   
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: I don't think we can get a sensor lock...one option would be to erect a forcefield about his person, and transport all matter within the field.
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: So why don't you explain it to me?
Tomure says:
::Begins pacing around the bridge:: All: Several eons ago, I was asked to work with the Q on a matter involving one of their own called O.
FCO_Khrex says:
::eons? How old is this guy?::
CSO_McGrady says:
::whispers:: *CEO* We have an non-hostile intruder on the bridge...the Captain is engaging him in conversation.
XO_Chalen says:
::slowly lowers his sidearm, listening::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Want me to do that?
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Ready a plan, but do not execute it without the Captain's order.
CEO_Irvin says:
::remembers something that Stidd was eluding too while the ship was docked::  *CSO* Has it identified itself?
Tomure says:
::Turns towards the CSO:: CSO: Would that be Eli Irvin you are speaking to?
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Aye sir-r-r
CSO_McGrady says:
*CEO* Yes...Tomure. He's talking about som "Q"...do you know what that is?
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks up:: Tomure:  Perhaps...
CEO_Irvin says:
*CSO* Oh God.... ::sighs::  I'm on my way....  

ACTION: Tomure waves his hand and CEO Irving appears suddenly on the bridge

XO_Chalen says:
::eyes widen with watching the power of this being::
CEO_Irvin says:
::disappears and reappears on the bridge while trying to climb the ladder::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Ok, that was neat.
Tomure says:
CEO: Eli, old friend, How are you.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: Welcome to the bridge, Mr. Irvin.
CEO_Irvin says:
Tomure: I hate when you do that....

CSO_McGrady says:
Self:  Old friend?...
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Here, here.
SO_Raja says:
::Begins to devise a plan and get the containment field ready, synchronizing the transporter locking protocols to the confinement field::
CO_Trelan says:
:: eyes Tomure :: CEO: Albeit abruptly.
FCO_Khrex says:
::waves his hand trying to get some bolian women on the bridge::
CEO_Irvin says:
CO: Thanks Capt....
Tomure says:
CO: Sorry captain, where was I?
FCO_Khrex says:
::finds he's not having much success::
CEO_Irvin says:
::walks over and stands next to the Captain and XO::
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: The Q and someone named O.
CO_Trelan says:
<Sec Team> :: rushes onto the bridge ::
SO_Raja says:
::once completed, keeps his finger close to the blinking blue light that will activate the plan::
CO_Trelan says:
:: sees the team and waves them off, watching as they move to the back of the bridge to keep a watchful eye ::
SO_Raja says:
::whispers:: CSO: I am done. Just need to push the blue blinking light and he will be gone
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Standby, Mr. Raja...it appears that our Captain is establishing civil relations.
Tomure says:
CO: Oh yes!  O had violated some of the Q's laws, such as they are.  The Q wanted him imprisoned but they had no idea how to do that.  I placed him in a pocket of null time where I thought that the universe would be safe.
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: And now I take it it isn't.
Tomure says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: It wouldn't have worked anyhow.  You can't get a transporter lock on me unless I allow it.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  The anomaly!
CSO_McGrady says:
Tomure:  Basic security...I'm sure you understand.
CO_Trelan says:
:: turns to the XO ::
Tomure says:
::Turns back to the CO:: CO: Correct, and I cant guarantee that you will be safe if you go near that rift.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Ok, so this anomaly we're heading to is a prison for a person like him?
FCO_Khrex says:
::points to Tomure::
XO_Chalen says:
::Nods to the FCO::  CO:  Sounds like it........  
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: Well, that is what we are out here for. Exploration of the unknown. Not to mention there is no telling what kind of damage that rift will cause to space itself.
CEO_Irvin says:
::shakes head in disbelief::  All, under breath: I just fixed this boat..... 
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, if we're not careful, we could unleash this Q thing from the anomaly.
CEO_Irvin says:
::walks over to the engineering station and plops down in the chair thinking about his transfer coming up and his conversation with the girl on the station::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: And if he's just as powerful as our friend, there's no telling what damage he'll do to the nearest ship... us.
CO_Trelan says:
XO: Who's to say it isn't already unleashed?
SO_Raja says:
CSO: If the Captain believes this per-r-rson, do you think we will tur-r-rn back?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  That's a sobering thought.
CEO_Irvin says:
FCO: Forget the ship Lieutenant...  Think on a broader scale.... 
Tomure says:
CO: You don't understand. ::Pauses as if trying to find the words to say, then with fear in his voice:: That thing is far from being civil anymore.  His mind is gone.  I am not even sure I can survive him, but I must go.  You do not.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: We have our orders from Starfleet.
FCO_Khrex says:
::thinks a while::
CO_Trelan says:
XO: That could be why the rift is there. He "broke out" of his subspace prison.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  I understand. And we're the only ship close enough to try and do something about it.........
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Holy Torinial Herb Extract! It could be the end of the Universe!
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: I am afraid that is where you are wrong. We do need to go. If he is as dangerous as you say he is, then not only is he a danger to you and others like you, but just think what he could do to people like us. Ordinary, everyday mortals.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Again.......
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Hmmm...
Tomure says:
CO: So there is no dissuading you from going?
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks over to Stidd as if to say 'He don't get it does he?::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Looks at Eli with that familiar stoic look on his face::
CO_Trelan says:
Tomure: I'm afraid not.
CEO_Irvin says:
CO: Captain...  If the Doctor and I could have a moment of your time in private?
Tomure says:
::Turns towards the screen:: CO: Then you now have a passenger!
CO_Trelan says:
:: looks to the XO :: XO: Seems to be the norm lately.
SO_Raja says:
::continues to watch the scene in front of him unfold, standing by with the blue button::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Agreed sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
::whispers:: XO: We take passengers now? Can we charge a fee?
CO_Trelan says:
XO: You have the bridge, Commander. CEO/CMO: Eli, Doctor...
Tomure says:
::Folds his arms behind his back::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  I don't usually ask creatures with god powers for a tip, but you feel free.
XO_Chalen says:
CO: Aye sir.
CO_Trelan says:
:: heads toward his ready room ::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Follows the CO::
XO_Chalen says:
::takes the center chair, unsure of what to make of this::
CEO_Irvin says:
::follows the CO and the Doctor::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: God powers? Uh... on second thought his presence is good enough for me.
CO_Trelan says:
:: enters, waiting for the doors to shut silently behind the other two officers ::

ACTION: A voice seeming to come from everywhere at once booms from all around deafening all except Tomure.  "I can smell you...
Stink, stank, sting, bee.
You can't stop me.
Soon could not come soon enough...
Soon. Sooner. Now."

XO_Chalen says:
::covers his ears::
SO_Raja says:
Self: I good tip to me would me, do not bother him unless you want to end up as a fr-r-rog
FCO_Khrex says:
::smells himself::
CEO_Irvin says:
::covers ears::  All: WHAT THE?!?
CO_Trelan says:
:: covers ears ::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Covers his ears::
CO_Trelan says:
All: What was that?

ACTION: The voices stops and all is left is the ringing of the ears and deafness.

XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  McGrady, identify!
SO_Raja says:
::covers ears as the noise echoes through his head::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: What??!?!?!? ::shielding ears::
FCO_Khrex says:
::can't hear anything::
FCO_Khrex says:
::hits his ears::
Tomure says:
No one in particular: That is enough, troublemaker!  I jailed you once and I WILL Do it again!
CO_Trelan says:
:: hits his combadge, barely hearing it chirp ::
SO_Raja says:
::shakes his head, trying to clear his ears up::

ACTION: Silence answers Tomure.

CEO_Irvin says:
::waits for the Captain to finish::
CSO_McGrady says:
Tomure: Can you make this blasted ringing go away!?!?!
CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Trelan to bridge. Report!
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if they stink as bad as the voice said::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I think I have a pr-r-roblem her-r-re
CSO_McGrady says:
::half-hears/half-mouth reads the SO:: SO: Me too!
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*: Our passenger just got a message sir.  He doesn’t seem impressed.  I have a feeling that Q thing is defiantly on the loose sir.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: What?
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: What?
CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Understood. Keep me informed.
CEO_Irvin says:
::waits for the Captain to close the comm::
SO_Raja says:
::points to his ears and shakes his head indicating that he can't hear::
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
::mimics the SO, letting him know he can't hear either::
CO_Trelan says:
CEO/CMO: Now, gentlemen...what can I do for you?
CEO_Irvin says:
::shakes head and sighs::  CO: Captain, I have to tell you...   If Tomure is here, then his presence is probably warranted.  He may be a bit on the abrasive and abrupt side, but he does not lie.  At the VERY least, looks over to the Doctor, I think we should use extreme caution and notify Starfleet Intelligence.
Tomure says:
~~~~~~~CO: I will try to protect you as best as I can, but no promises!~~~~~~~~~~~
XO_Chalen says:
ALL:  All right people, suck it up and shake it off!  This is probably just going to get weirder from here.
CSO_McGrady says:
::hears the XO vaguely::
FCO_Khrex says:
::sees the Commander say something but can't hear him::
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: I concur with the CEO on this one.
CO_Trelan says:
:: hears Tomure in his head ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::hits his ears a little harder::
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks at Tomure:: Tomure:  I guess you and Mr. Outdoor voice aren't the best of pals?
XO_Chalen says:
::sees the FCO look confused and not hear him:: 
SO_Raja says:
::looks around to see if anyone else is having problems::
CO_Trelan says:
CEO/CMO: Does Intel know of Tomure?
XO_Chalen says:
::shakes his head and groans and motions to the FCO to carry on::
FCO_Khrex says:
::nods his head::
SO_Raja says:
::lets out a loud roar in frustration and not being able to hear::

FCO_Khrex says:
::continues monitoring the navigational sensors and sees that they are still on course::
FCO_Khrex says:
::ears stop ringing::
Tomure says:
CSO: You have a gift for understatement Mr. McGrady.  How do you ever manage being the CSO here?
FCO_Khrex says:
::able to hear the bridge crew talking... barely::
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: They do, sir
CO_Trelan says:
CMO: Anyone in particular?
CSO_McGrady says:
Tomure:  I get by with a little help from my friends ::points to Raja::
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: Several people, sir.  He at one time applied for membership to the Federation
SO_Raja says:
::sees the CSO pointing at him and shrugs as if saying 'what'::
CO_Trelan says:
:: nods ::
CSO_McGrady says:

CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Raja!  What's wrong?

CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Acknowledged. Have Mr. McGrady open a channel to Starfleet. I want to speak to someone in Intel.
SO_Raja says:
::growls:: CSO: What ar-r-re you doing?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  McGrady, open a secure channel to Starfleet Intel.  Priority One.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Trying to help stop the blasted ringing...
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Aye, sir.

::opens a channel to Intel...Priority 1:: XO: Channel open , sir.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: You injected me!
CO_Trelan says:
:: sits behind his desk, rubbing the ridges on his nose ::
SO_Raja says:
::does a low deep throaty growl::
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Raja....calm down.  I was only trying to help.
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Channel open, sir.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Moves over by engineering station:: CEO: Yes, Mr Irvin?
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders what the CSO did wrong::

*XO* Secure it and route it to my ready room.
SO_Raja says:
::ears go back and gives the CSO an evil eye::
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  You heard the Captain.

ACTION: A voice once again seems to come from everywhere at once booms from all around deafening all. 
 "My future. Mine!
Hear me? Hear me here... and now.
Now the end has begun. Begin the end of now..."

CSO_McGrady says:

::covers his ears::
CO_Trelan says:
:: grabs his ears again ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::whispers:: CMO: If he's here, we could be in WAY over our heads....   Kinda like what was going on when McPhee was in command?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Try and run a scan on it!  ::yells::
CO_Trelan says:
Self: I wish he would quit doing that.
SO_Raja says:
::grabs ears as the voice booms through his head again::

ACTION: The ship shakes from as if hit from some outside force and drops down to impulse.

CSO_McGrady says:
::covers his ears and winces in pain at the voice...attempts to trace its origin::
CEO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::covers ears and yells out::  ALL: OH SHUT UP!
CO_Trelan says:
:: feels the ship slow ::
XO_Chalen says:
::grabs his seat to hold on::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: We've dropped to impulse!!
CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Why have we slowed?
FCO_Khrex says:
::tries to stabilize the ship::
SO_Raja says:
::gets thrown off balance by the sudden slow down::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Grabs ears:: CEO: ::Yelling:: What did you say?
XO_Chalen says:
ALL:  RED ALERT!  All hands to emergency stations!   Captain Trelan to the bridge!
CEO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::feels the ship slowing::  All: Now what?  ::sits and looks to the Engineering Panel::
ACTION: A flash of light engulfs the bridge..... all are blinded...

FCO_Khrex says:
::can't see::
XO_Chalen says:
::covers his eyes::
CSO_McGrady says:
Aloud:  Stop this, you bum!
CO_Trelan says:
:: stands and rushes to the bridge ::
SO_Raja says:
::roars out in defiance at being blind and deaf::

::manages to lock the helm console from memory::

ACTION: When everyone can see once again... the XO has disappeared.

CO_Trelan says:
:: notices everyone with their eyes covered ::
SO_Raja says:
::backs up to the console so he can get his bearing::
FCO_Khrex says:
::eyes adjust to the bridge::
CSO_McGrady says:
::rubs his eyes as vision comes slowly back::
CO_Trelan says:
::watches as the XO is suddenly swept away ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around now that the light is gone::  All: CHALEN!!!!!!
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Uh... where did Commander Chalen go?
CO_Trelan says:
XO: Riggs!
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Scans! Quickly!
CSO_McGrady says:
::jumps on his console and tries to locate the XO's combadge signal::

ACTION: A voice once again seems to come from everywhere at once booms from all around deafening all. 
 "Turn the key. Set me free. Free me, me, me!
He is the key. The key is me. The key to set me free."

CMO_Stidd says:
::Turns to look where the XO had been:: All: I think it has begun.
CSO_McGrady says:
:extends scans to outside the Pharaoh::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Is the Commander the key?
CO_Trelan says:
Self: The key...he is the key....
CO_Trelan says:
Self: He is a mortal being....Oh no......
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: If so, then how do we turn him? Like a rotisserie?
CEO_LtCmdr_Irvin says:
::attempts to find out what went wrong with the engines, FAST trying to reestablish a warp field::  CMO: I'd give real money for Tomure to shut him up....  
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Nothing turning up yet, sir ::continues scans::
CO_Trelan says:
FCO: I am afraid it is much worse than that, Lieutenant....
