Mission Summary:
Host Naye says:
The USS Pharaoh is in route to Earth.  They are carrying a Borg artifact in stasis that was transferred from the USS Shasta.  The telepaths among the crew are beginning to show symptoms similar to that from the Shasta.  They are performing acts without memory of it later.  In the meantime, the ship has rendezvoused with the USS Columbus.  Captain Trelan has been returned home.  He was severely injured and is spending time in a hover chair during his recovery.

TO_Picadilly says:
::sitting near the artifact, wondering what exactly it is::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Computer: Tarkalean Tea.
CMO_Sacul says:
CSO:  Not long.  I've upped the dosage.  You'll need another in…  :: checks her chronometer ::  10 hours.
FCO_Khrex says:
::exits his quarters and heads for the bridge::
CSO_Stidd says:
CMO: Understood.  I will see you in precisely 9 hours and 55 minutes.
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters the bridge and looks around::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: nods and administers the hypo :: CSO:  I'll see you then Commander.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: as the replicator effect fades, puts both hands on the arm rests of his anti-grav chair and pushes himself up ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
::looks up:: FCO: Ah, Commander Khrex, feeling better I hope?
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: after a moment of unsteadiness, regains control and releases his chair ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Never been better, Admiral.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Gets up and heads for the door:: CMO: And Dr., I hope this is not going to affect me like most of your other potions do.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: I swear I'd been sleeping for a month now.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: takes a step, legs wobbling, and suddenly falls ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Outloud: Dagva!
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Good, then you are ready for duty.  Please increase warp for factor 9.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Heads to the bridge::
FCO_Khrex says:
::sits down at the helm::
TO_Picadilly says:
::stands and leans closer to the artifact, careful not to get too close, to take a better look at it::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grins at the CSO :: CSO:  I don't know Commander, with the Vulcan biology of yours, it may just have you standing on your head.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: An alarm goes of in the lab.  The stasis field around the artifact is failing.
FCO_Khrex says:
::presses some buttons on the helm::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: head snaps up and she runs towards the lab ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: with great effort, pulls himself back into his chair, massaging his side lightly and grimacing ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Increasing speed to warp factor 9, Admiral Sir!
TO_Picadilly says:
::looks up and goes to the closest console to see if she can bring the stasis field back to full power::
FCO_Khrex says:
::hears the alarm::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Is that alarm normal?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: It didn't used to be normal.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I always thought alarms were bad.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: after a moment of deep thought, heads for the door leading to the corridor, leaving the tea on the replicator ::
CSO_Stidd says:
::Enters the bridge:: Adm: Commander Stidd reporting as ordered, sir.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* What's going on down there? ::checks her console for the alarm's source::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CSO: We have an alarm Commander, see what you can do about it up here.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Maybe it's a ship-wide wake up alarm.
TO_Picadilly says:
*Adm* The stasis field around the artifact is failing, sir, I'm attempting to bring it back up to full power now.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Enough Commander, just fly the ship.  We'll take care of the "something very bad is about to happen" alarm.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Yes, Admiral.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: bursts into the lab and hears the TO ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::her fingers move quickly over the console tapping at the controls trying to restore the stasis field::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* Keep working on it.  I have the CSO on it from up here as well.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: You know, instead of the wake up alarm, we should hire a guy to make wake up announcements. It'll be more personalized.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Moves to his sensor board and begins checking for what the alarm is and what is needed to silence it::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The stasis field completely fails.
FCO_Khrex says:
::imitating a wake up guy:: ALL: Wake up! Wake up! This is not a drill. Please wake up.
TO_Picadilly says:
::grumbles in annoyance, and tries to bring the stasis field back online again::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: his chair hovering inches from the floor, heads to the bridge ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The artifact slides across the table.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grabs for the artifact ::
TO_Picadilly says:
CMO: Something is keeping from raising the stasis field again ::looks up as the artifact slides across the table::...Self:..thats..not good, is it
CSO_Stidd says:
Adm: Admiral, someone has diverted power from the artifacts shields and placed a lockout on them so we cant raise them again.
FCO_Khrex says:
::continues to monitor the helm controls::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The artifact seems to jump of the table and attaches itself to the CMO's arm.
CMO_Sacul says:
Self: This can't be good.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: as he approaches the bridge, the door slides aside, allowing him entrance, and he moves the chair inside, allowing the door to close ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::tries to find the source of the lockout, before jumping as the artifact attaches it's self to the CMO::
CMO_Sacul says:
*Soki*  I suggest this lab get sealed....NOW.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Hiya Cappy!
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: brow furrows at the flurry of activity ::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: How was your barbershop quartet competition?
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CSO: Get a force field up around that room.  How many people do we have in there?
TO_Picadilly says:
::taps at the console in front of her, hearing what the CMO says, and tries bringing up a force field around the room::
CSO_Stidd says:
ADM: I am counting 4 including our CMO.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: nods at Khrex as experience and habit take over ::
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Tries to raise a force field around the entire room::
FCO_Khrex says:
::turns around wondering what is going on::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Adm: Report. :: moves his chair to the center seat, unaware and not noticing that it is the Admiral in the center seat ::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: yells at her medical staff :: All:  get out of here.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CSO: Can you get a lock and beam them out?
TO_Picadilly says:
*Adm* Sir, the artifact has attached itself to the Doctor
Host Admiral_Soki says:
::turns to see the Captain:: CO: Welcome back Dru. ::steps away from the seat::
CMO_Sacul says:
*Soki*:  We have a small problem here...................
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* It WHAT?  Can you remove it?
Host CO_Trelan says:
Adm: Oh! Admiral...I apologize, ma'am...I didn't realize....
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: An artifact? How bad could it be?
CSO_Stidd says:
Adm: I can’t get a positive lock on them, sir.  I am trying everything I can think of to get it to work.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*CMO*:  Try to get that thing off then we'll get it back into stasis Doctor.
TO_Picadilly says:
*Adm* I don't know sir
CMO_Sacul says:
*Soki*:  Believe me, that's the first thing on my mind.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The artifact jabs two needle-ended tubes into the CMO's arm.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: That artifact is Borg technology.  We don't know what it might do.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: cries out :: All:  Arrrrghhh!!
Host CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Kyti! :: screams over the com ::
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Get everyone out of here....NOW!
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Borg? Holy byproduct of hot monkey and donkey lovin'!
Host CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Commander! Report!
Host CO_Trelan says:
*TO* Picadilly! What's going on down there!?
TO_Picadilly says:
::moves over to the CMO's side and puts her hand out, stopping as the Doctor cries out.:: CMO: Y-yes, right away...::motions to everyone else in the room:: ALL: Come on, get out of here you lot, quickly!
CMO_Sacul says:
*CO*: I've just been punctured by what feels like 2 needles, Sir.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CSO: Seal off that entire area.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* Scan the CMO.  What is that thing doing to her?
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the helm again to make sure they haven't deviated from their course::
CSO_Stidd says:
Adm: I have raised the force fields in that area but I can’t get confirmation that they are up.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  You stay.  I may need your help.
TO_Picadilly says:
::grabs a tricorder and turns back to the CMO after getting everyone out:: *CO* Nanites!, they're leaving the artifact and going into the Doc's arm...
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: Shields fall around the lab.  Nobody can exit.  All 4 crewmen are trapped inside.
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Nanites....
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: thinks ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the estimated time of arrival::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The CMO's arm begins to turn gray.
TO_Picadilly says:
::gulps:: *CO* If those are nanites, then...this thing is some sort of...remote assimilation device?
CMO_Sacul says:
:: tries to remain calm ::  TO:  What else does it say?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Nanites?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: That's not Borg technology.
Host CO_Trelan says:
*TO* That is correct. Only one problem with that...
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: That's Federation.
Host CO_Trelan says:
FCO: Exactly.
TO_Picadilly says:
::scans the Doctor and the artifact again, seeing if she can figure out anything else::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: tries to focus on what is happening and not what she is feeling ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
All: Find out what you can about the use of nanites.  If that isn't Borg, I want to know what it is and I want to know now!
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Please, keep up a running commentary, so I know what is happening.
Host CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Cross reference nanites and any known Federation use as of late. :: looks to the Admiral ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::nods:: CMO: Of course ::hears the Captain over the comm:: Did...did they just say what I think they said? - Nanites are federation?
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Accesses the library computer to compile all known nanite usage and then form a hypothesis of what is happening::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Adm: If Starfleet Sciences is testing nanites to use as assimilation tools....
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The graying stops just below the CMO's shoulder.
TO_Picadilly says:
CMO: Your skin isn't graying anymore...it's stopped just below your shoulder.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Maybe Starfleet is tired of asking people to sign up nicely?
CMO_Sacul says:
:: looks at her arm and grabs a PADD and begins recording ::  Computer: begin recording.....the artifact has attached itself to my arm and punctured the skin with what felt like 2 needles.  Nanites have been injected into my body and my arm has turned gray from finger tips to just below my shoulder.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CO: Then why is that a Borg artifact?  It should be Federation...unless.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Thank you.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Maybe it was Federation and the Borg were toying with it.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Or the other way around.
Host CO_Trelan says:
Adm: Someone is using it simply as a transport device, and figures a Borg artifact is a good lure for test subjects.
TO_Picadilly says:
::nods:: CMO: Of course...
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: This reminds me of the time I tried to modify a tricorder to see through women's clot... uh... women's clotgobbers. Mmmmmm... Clotgobbers are an excellent source of vitamin C.
CMO_Sacul says:
Computer:  My right are is beginning to go numb from finger tips to just below the shoulder and I am feeling the effects of poor circulation, the "tingling" sensation.
CSO_Stidd says:
CO: Captain, I have found information that shows where a team has been working with nanites to reverse the assimilation process.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Then why the Federation nanites?
Host CO_Trelan says:
CSO: To reverse the process? Any details?
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The device begins to wrap around the CMO's arm, cutting off the blood circulation to her hand.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Maybe, it's because they can't reprogram cats?
CSO_Stidd says:
CO: Negative, it is level 10 classified and I am only level 5.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: eyes the Admiral ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::listens to the doctor record notes, but her eyes widen as the device wraps around the Doc's arm:: CMO: Ah...shouldn't we try and take it off your arm?
CMO_Sacul says:
Computer:  At present the graying has stopped to just below the shoulder.  The device is now becoming tighter, cutting the circulation to my hand off.  If this doesn't stop soon, The hand will atrophy and die.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
CO: Considering your recent mission, I believe you have that access Dru.  You are the scientist.  See what you can figure out.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Be my guest....I only have one hand to work with.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* How's it coming down there?
TO_Picadilly says:
::reaches out to the artifact and touches is, to see if she can remove the device from the doctors arm::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: moves his chair back to the science console :: Computer: Access detailed information. Authorization Trelan Five One Zero Omega.
TO_Picadilly says:
*CO* The artifact is tightening around the Doctors arm, I'm going to try and remove it.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Be prepared to jump back.  This should be rather painful if I could feel it.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Moves to the side as the CO approaches::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
<Computer> CO: Access approved.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: approaches the console and reads the detailed data ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::nods, scanning the artifact with her tricorder to see if she can get any hints on how to remove the device...::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The screen begins to scroll through a series of tests involving the introduction of nanites into the Borg collective.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: brow furrows as he studies the readouts ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* Do that.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The graying begins again, this time much more slowly.
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Interesting...I never... :: sees another series appear :: This has promise....It just might have... :: looks at the screen again ::
CMO_Sacul says:
Computer:  The graying effect has begun again.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: his eyes grow wide ::
CSO_Stidd says:
CO: This is fascinating information.  But how can we use it for our present situation?
TO_Picadilly says:
CMO: it's slower this time...hmm, my scans are different now, than before - it's like your DNA is being re-written or something.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: tries to rub her fingers together and finds that she can't feel her hand at all ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Trelan to Sacul! You need to find a way to get that thing off!
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Wonderful.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Increase our speed to warp 9.2.  I want to get to Star Fleet Medical as quickly as possible.
CMO_Sacul says:
*CO*  I'm trying Captain, I truly am.
Host CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Kyti...if my suspicions are correct....it's re-writing your DNA as we speak.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Yes, Admiral.
FCO_Khrex says:
::presses a few buttons on the console::
TO_Picadilly says:
::puts down her tricorder and tries tugging at the artifact gently, but firmly::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grabs hold of her arm and brings the device up to her face and begins to examine it to try and find a way to remove it::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
OPS: Open a channel to Admiral Nyrobi at Star Fleet Medical.
FCO_Khrex says:
::increases speed to warp 9.2::
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Speed increased to Warp Factor 9.2, Admiral.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
<OPS_Popa> Adm: Channel open Admiral.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: reads more into the data ::
CMO_Sacul says:
*CO* Yes, Picadilly's scans show that Sir.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
COM: SFM: This is Admiral Soki on board the USS Pharaoh.  Secure the channel.
TO_Picadilly says:
::motions to the other two tactical officers:: TO1/TO2: You two, help out here, instead of just standing around, this is an emergency! Try and come up with a way to get this thing off the doctor!
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The graying reaches the base of Kyti's neck.
TO_Picadilly says:
CMO: Do you think using a phaser on it would have any effect? Or would it adapt like the Borg?
TO_Picadilly says:
<TO1>::picks up the tricorder the TO put down and starts taking scans of his own::
CMO_Sacul says:
TO: I just don’t know.  I feel tingling from my neck down my shoulder.
Host CO_Trelan says:
*TO* Try scanning the device instead of the doctor. I want a composite breakdown, a power source...something!
TO_Picadilly says:
CMO: I'm going to try it ...TO1: Scan the device when I shoot it, I want to know how much it does - good and bad
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  There should be a laser scalpel in that cabinet over there.
TO_Picadilly says:
::pulls out her phaser from its holster, adjusts power setting to low, steps back a bit, aims at the artifact, and fires::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
@<Adm_ Nyrobi> COM: Pharaoh: Channel is secure, how can I help you?
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: hears a phaser :: *TO* What's going on down there!? Report!
Host Admiral_Soki says:
COM: Nyrobi: We have what we thought was a Borg artifact.  It’s out of stasis and has attached itself to our CMO.  We need everything you have so we can save her.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I think someone fired a phaser.
TO_Picadilly says:
*CO* We're trying to remove the artifact, the phaser is set on the lowest setting
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Or maybe they were making phaser noises with their mouths... ::imitates a phaser sound::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The artifact leaps from the CMO's arm onto the floor.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Shoot it!!!!
TO_Picadilly says:
::quickly readjusts the setting to high and shots at the artifact again::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The artifact moves again, attaching itself to the CMO's left leg.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The phaser shot misses.
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Shoot it again.
TO_Picadilly says:
*CO* It came off, but now it's reattached itself to the Doctors leg ::aims at the artifact and shoots again::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Adm: I'll be in sickbay. :: turns his chair and heads for the door ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
@<Adm_Nyrobi> COM: Pharaoh: That is only meant for humans!  If you don't get it off of her it'll kill her!
CSO_Stidd says:
CO: Can I be of assistance to you?
Host CO_Trelan says:
*TO* I'm on my way.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CSO ::
TO_Picadilly says:
*CO* Yes Sir.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
COM: Nyrobi: Then tell me how Michael!  We don't have all day!
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Follows the CO to the lab::
TO_Picadilly says:
::aims and shoots again::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: grits her teeth ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: within moments, enters sickbay ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
@<Adm_Nyrobi> COM: Pharaoh: That just isn't a device.  It's a life form created to imitate a Borg arm shield.  Get it back into stasis or it'll try turning your CMO into a human!
FCO_Khrex says:
::turns around and doesn't see anyone else on the bridge except the Admiral::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The phaser blast bounces off of the device.  It has adapted.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: notices the directed energy beam ::
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Get the laser scalpel from that cabinet.
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* That thing is a life form.  Made to act like part of the Borg.  Stasis is the only way to remove it!
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: hears the Admiral ::
TO_Picadilly says:
::curses:: CMO: Right ::grabs the scalpel......*Adm* And how do I do that?
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: Is it possible to work on it if we were to put you in stasis? Is there a chance we could remove it?
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*TO* Kyti should have a portable device down there for emergencies.
TO_Picadilly says:
::looks at the Doctor:: CMO: Stasis might work - you have a portable stasis unit?
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Stasis? But who would bring the Doctor out of stasis?
FCO_Khrex says:
::thinks for a moment::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Take this bucket of bolts as fast as she'll go.  I want to get to Earth NOW! ::realizes she's yelling and doesn't much care at the moment::
CMO_Sacul says:
TO:  Behind you....third cabinet over, open the doors and on the bottom shelf is a portable stasis device.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Right... Earth...
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: Her MO has that ability.
FCO_Khrex says:
::engages the engines to maximum warp::
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Traveling at the maximum, Admiral.
TO_Picadilly says:
::turns around and opens the doors of the cabinet, looking for the stasis device, and pulls it out as soon as she sees it::
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: ETA is approximately 11 hours.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: as he approaches the lab to get closer to Sacul, hits the barrier ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Ah!
TO_Picadilly says:
::sets it next to the doctor:: CMO: Um...how do I work this thing?
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva...:: raises voice :: Computer: Computer, disengage emergency field around the lab, authorization Trelan Five One Zero Omega!
Host Admiral_Soki says:
*CO* SF Medical says that thing will try to turn her DNA into a human's.  You got to get that thing into stasis!
Host Admiral_Soki says:
::sits back in the command chair::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The force field lowers.
Host CO_Trelan says:
*Adm* Understood!
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: moves to the TO :: TO: Give me that....
TO_Picadilly says:
::nods and hands over the device::
CMO_Sacul says:
TO: I can only tell you this once.  Open the folded arms and place it on my forehead, activate the green button.  It will blink red 3 times, this is normal......it will then become green and I will be in stasis.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: has to barely bend, since he is in his chair ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Turn someone human?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: So Pinocchio can be a real boy?
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: puts the device on the CMO's head, as if he himself were a doctor, and instantly activates the device without difficulty ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
FCO: No Commander.  He can't.
Host CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Get Lucas in here...now.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: goes unconscious ::
Host Admiral_Soki says:
ACTION: The "Borg" device falls off of the CMO's leg as she is put into stasis.  It has nothing to feed on.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: Darn.
Host CO_Trelan says:
TO: You and you...:: pointing to one of the other security officers :: Get her on a bio-bed.
FCO_Khrex says:
ADM: We could have made money from a real live Pinocchio.
CSO_Stidd says:
:: Goes and gets Payne and brings him back to the lab:: CO: Here he is.
Host CO_Trelan says:
MO: Joe...I need a stasis box immediately. We need to put that thing in it ASAP.
