CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Tracks the energy being with his tricorder::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We rejoin our heroes and heroine at the dock districts in the pouring rain
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Sensors detect the energy being walking but in corporeal form
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Team: Sooner or later the creature will come out.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Orion man has disappeared into the warehouse district
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Team: When that happens, let's follow him.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I can still track him.
 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The creature leaves the building through the front door pulling over the collar of its trenchcoat
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: This is a good chance of getting ahead of our opponents. We shouldn't lose track of the creature now.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Freighters continues to land, take off and unload cargo as the sky continues to darken here in the docks
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Team: Alright, the creature left the building and is walking right there. ::Points::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Starts walking behind the creature keeping some distance::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Let's keep out of its line of sight, our tricorders can still track it and we aren't sure what it's capable of..
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Nods at the CTO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The creature stops at one of the sensors which the CEO set up to monitor Omega particles
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Follows the energy being from a safe distance of a couple hundred meters::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Looks like its stopped at one of the sensors
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The energy being begins to examine the sensor with his instrument
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: It will certainly become aware that someone is after him.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature begins to download the data the sensor has in it
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::tricorder beeps and looks at it::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Its downloading the data off the probe
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature begins to attempt to hack into the entire network of probes
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Can you shut off the sensors for the time being?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Its trying to access the rest of the sensor net!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: ALien virus detected in network
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Changes probes setting to broadcast fake data::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: Can you just shut down the whole net?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Shuts off probe network::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The network is struggling to receive commands from the CEO as the creature is attempting to rewrite code
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Its shut off but it managed to upload a virus on to the probe network
 
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: We should decide on how to deal with the creature right now. We don't have any time to gather information on it.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Keeps trying to override the alien commands and shut off the network::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Do we have any way to stun it?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I'd say the chances are quite good that phasers will harm it.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The energy being begins to emit signals of frustration emotions, and begins to look around
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Very well. Let's give it a try.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Senses the alien is having difficulty taking control of the probe network and smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Load your phasers.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Following the boss to the warehouse, she notes something catching the first officers eye.  He motions her to continue so with a shrug she does.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Unholsters his phaser::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The being disconnects from the network with a partial download and starts walking
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Pulls his phaser::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Let's get closer and then open fire.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Runs a bit::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Walks briskly towards the alien::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Jogs after the CO::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: What do you normally keep in the warehouse?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The being appears to be unaware that it is being followed and begins to examine the ground in an attempt to track something
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: We deal in loading and unloading deep space cargo
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Notes the creature remains calm and walks to the distance of 30 meters, then opens fire::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CO strikes the creature with his blast and renders it unconscious, it reverts to its energy form
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: When was your last shipment to this warehouse?  And do you have the manifest?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Nice shot
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Walks closer and takes a detailed scan of the creature::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Scans the creature::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Keeps some distance from the alien::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: Yes here you go ::presents manifest:: I believe last night we received a shipment from the SS Long Haul
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature is glowing a soft yellow color
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Takes it and scans through it.::  Boss: Which already left....?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: Yes I believe it is about near Jupiter now
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: Can you call it back or know whom I need to contact?
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: That was a bit easier than I thought.. but let's be careful, you never know with these non-corporeal beings..
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Frowns as she finishes reading it::  Boss: This does not tell me much other then it came from unexplored space.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature is definitely unconscious
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: Do you think there's some way we could beam this being to a brig to be questioned later?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: I don't know how the transporters would handle this
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: It was an unexplored pickup payment made through the Ferengi
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: If transporting succeeds, I think we can contain it now that we know how it reacts to phasers.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Both eyes lift at the species named::  Boss: Well, let us see what we shall see.  Has the cargo been picked up and if not, who is to and when?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Perhaps we should then use a hover car.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Call in a hover car from our base.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The molecular activity of the creature begins to slowly rise
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Calls in a hover car::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A hover car arrives
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: How do you propose we put it in the hover car? I'm not sure the boot is a suitable containment area
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: It might be recovering, keep your phasers ready
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: Well, let's just put it to a seat and keep a close guard on it.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Aims at the creature, his phaser set at the same setting as the CO's last shot::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Pulls open the door and drags it into the car::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature sits up apparently dazed
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Jumps back and pull his phaser on it::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Pointing his phaser at the creature:: Creature: You are under arrest.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Has his finger on the trigger::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: The pickup was in deep space in unknown territory ::marks location on map::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Creature> All : Who are you and why did you attack me?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: I mean picking it up from here.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Creature: Get in the car. ::Still pointing the phaser::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Creature> CO: Are you attempting to abduct me?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Fires at the creature again::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature still dazed is rendered unconscious
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: That works
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: It probably won't feel very cooperative when it wakes.. but let's get it to a more secure location for now.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Carries the unconscious creature to the backseat of the hovercar::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: We unloaded the cargo and left it in the warehouse and now its gone
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We caught it vandalizing Federation property so at least we have some excuse for this arrest.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sits next to the creature in the car, pointing his phaser at it::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Doesn't our new role mean we can avoid paperwork like this?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Boss: Ahhh... well, I would still like to make a sensor reading of the area.  I appreciate your time.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: You drive. You need to drive very fast because having this creature on the backseat is really not safe at all.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> Civ: Be my guest
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: Skip the legalities, let's go.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Gets in the car, pointing phaser at the stunned creature::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The team enters the car with the creature
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Hits the pedal to the metal and disregards all speed limits::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: After 10 minutes the team arrives at the safe house
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: With a nod of thanks steps forward into the darkened area and does a complete scan, wondering what is keeping the first officer.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Carries the creature into the safehouse::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The texture of the creature feels odd almost like quicksilver to the CTO
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: Could you set up some kind of an energy barrier all around the creature? Preferably a bit too strong rather than a bit too weak.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CTO_Cmdr_Senek: Let me see what I can do
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Finishing her scan she reads through the information.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The creature remains unconscious
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Goes into his office to retrieve a field generator
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: The creature will wake up sooner or later. I hope that we haven't caused if any permanent damage.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Lets drag him into the cell, I can set up this field generator to hold it
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Whatever the permanent physical effects, I don't think the first contact went very well from an absolute point of view.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CEO and helps drag the alien::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CO*: Captain, I am at the warehouse. I seem to have lost Commander Z'heta at the moment.  The warehouse has remnant traces of the Omega particle, about 24 hours old.  The cargo, which was brought in from unexplored space and is not noted for what it is, came in about that time.  The ship carrying it should be nearing Jupiter.  If you can, try <c>
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The creature is totally alien, its biology appears to be based on molecular circulation
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
<c>try to have it recalled.  Also, this transaction was between the Ferengii.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*CIV* Understood. I will contact my superior officers immediately.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Yes, that's true, but our intention was capture anyway, so the creature would have been uncooperative anyway.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Drags the alien into the cell and sets up the field generator::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CO*: Captain, I need to clarify something.  The cargo was left... when they went to check on it, it was gone.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*Starfleet HQ* This is Captain Sketek calling Starfleet HQ. There is a cargo ship approaching Jupiter that has delivered illegal cargo. I request that you stop the ship.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: It's just that we don't know anything about its motives.. for all we know, the alien might be at the exact same business as we are.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CO*: Do you need anything further from me here or should I come back in?  Or go find Z'heta?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A small bit of energy seems to be leaking from the alien
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Yes, it is true. However we also know that it was trying to sabotage our sensor network.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
*CIV* You can return here. We have captured an alien energy creature and we need every expert in analyzing it.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
*CO*: Interesting... I am on my way.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Inputs final settings and activates the field generator::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The energy is slowly leaking on the floor, molecular activity in the creature is moderately decreasing
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: We might have done the same, if we had found an omega-particle detecting sensor grid of unknown origin.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
All: That should hold it but something appears....... to be leaking from it
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: True.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Makes her way out and locates the person in charge.::  Boss: I thank you again for your help.  If you discover anything or think of anything, please, contact me at headquarters.  ::gives him the number.::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Flips open tricorder and scans::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Boss> ::pockets Civ's card::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: With a nod, turns to leave, glancing around, wondering what caught the first officers eye and a bit worried.::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: It recovered shortly from the first shot but has not recovered from the second shot at all. I am afraid it might be in need of medical attention.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Makes her way back to the waiting transport and slips inside with directions to return to the station.::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Sitting back she closes her eyes for a moment.  It has been a very long day.::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: That means we need an outside expert. And even that might not help.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The civ returns to the safe house
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: With a nod of thanks, she steps out and makes her way up the stairs and into the building.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
