TO Ens Thalataar 
::Is walking along the hallway out of the Armory with a pair of security officers.  With a phaser rifle strung over his shoulder, he taps his commbadge, trying to fight off the slight headache he is getting.::  *CTO*:  Thalataar to Murphy.

CTO Ens Murphy 
*TO*: Go ahead T-man.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::stands by the FCO, watching over his console and the viewscreen::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::fighting the inertial dampers to whip the ship around for a better angle for the CTO::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Waves his hand and motions for his officers to get into position.::  *CTO*:  I've deployed security personnel to all key areas on the ship in case we are boarded.

CSO Ens Jeq 
::humming a tune to herself at Science I::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::agitatedly paces across the bridge in the rear, watching for reactions to the vaccine, waiting to hear from her medical officer.  Finally moves over to the Exec to speak her mind::  XO:  Do you have a minute...maybe even two.  ::smiles, but her tail is waving more than usual::

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Enters the Bridge. He flicks a pill into his mouth and gulps it down with a grimace, his head obviously in pain. He stands to one side, watching.::

ACTION: The Cygnus attempts to outmaneuver the Jem'Hadar attack fighters while the Dominion battleship acquires a lock on the small Starfleet vessel...

CTO Ens Murphy 
*TO*: Well done. Have the armory start making more photon torpedoes ASAP. I want you and Bravo team in Main Engineering. Secure the area, and give Lieutenant Spanner a hand if she needs it, especially with Tactical system repairs. Remember, they are shorthanded after the accident. I'm going to try and keep the wolves at bay.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::looks up:: ACMO: Of course doctor. Go ahead.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::sees the targeting lock behind them and curses silently, pushing the ship into a steep dive::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CTO: I am lining you up for aft torpedoes on that battleship...

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Trying to adjust power to needed areas::

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Holds onto something, a little unsteadied by the combination of the drugs and of the ongoing events.:: Self: Damn!

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Manually targets the Battleship with the rear-firing phasers and the torpedo tube and fires it all in one massive volley, trying to get some damage on them, then targets the fighters with the rest of the phasers manually and leads the fast moving ships, adjusting her aim with each shot::

TO Ens Thalataar 
*CTO*: Acknowle... dged.  ::Shakes his head a bit.::  *Bravo Team*:  Thalataar to Bravo Team, assemble in Main Engineering.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::sighs, worrying about this whole situation::  XO:  Okay, first...it's Sinjin.  He's obviously ill if you didn't notice his coughing.  You read the information on him, he's aging prematurely because of DNA manipulation.  But what's more worrisome....he mentioned we needed to save billions and we're out here fighting deadly radiation and enemies.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::nods:: ACMO: I noticed.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::his fingers dance around the console, programming attack sequences, all the while avoiding radiation pockets::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
XO:  Sorry, but my instincts for survival and helping others is kicking in.  What are we doing here anyway?

ACTION: The battleship fires everything it's got on the Cygnus. The number of torpedoes and polaron pulses threatening enough to wipe out a whole shield arc...

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::grabs a hold of the FCO's chair for balance::

CTO Ens Murphy 
ACMO: Doc... would the radiation suits the Engineers use for working on the reactor cores help us out? I'm sure the pattern is in the replicators. Might buy us some time.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
ACMO: Trying to survive. We'll see to our mission after that.

CSO Ens Jeq 
ACMO: If you can't tell already, we're about to be blown to smithereens by Jem'Hadar.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::At the jolt from the sudden attack, Jorn stumbles into the wall and grumbles.::  Aloud:  They give us this little ship!  Arg!

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::shakes her head::  XO:  If something happens to us and those people need our help...that could really...  ::growls and grabs a chair arm, sinking in her claws, using her tail for a bit of balance::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::rolls the ship to spread the impact of the volley from the battleship across the shield grid::

CTO Ens Murphy 
Self: Bloody tin cans...

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Darna's bones shake.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
OPS: Commander, can you get us any more power to the rear shields?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: How long until we clear this area?

FCO Lt Ryushi 
All: Did we not find any weaknesses in these ships during the Dominion War that we could perhaps exploit now?

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
CTO: Trying now. ::Begins to reroute power to the rear shields::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Hurries over to turbolift and enters it.::  Computer:  Deck Two, Main Engineering.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::turns to tactical::  CTO: Yes, it would help.  Radiation is nothing to hiss at.  I'd use them if they don't hinder your job.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Returns fire at the Battleship, firing another burst of phaser fire and torpedoes::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Hell if I know... we're still on the outskirts, this thing could be huge.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
OPS: Any luck with Sinjin? He offered us help earlier. We could probably use some now.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::grins at Jeq::

ACTION: Just before the point of impact, a subspace distortion ripples around the Cygnus, disrupting the Jem'Hadar weapons into harmless energy. Seconds later, something emerges...

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: Shield and weapon status?

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Coupled with the fact that we can only see one light-year ahead of us... But as far as radiation goes, we're missing the pockets pretty well. 

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Wishes there was something more he could do... he listens in to the ACMO's conversation with the XO.::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: By the way, there's something coming up...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::starts to say something to science, but the viewscreen holds her attention as she points::  All:  Okay, that just saved us, but what the....

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::walks around to the Tactical station, passing the CNS and taps him on the shoulder, then arrives at the TAC station, watching the scans:: CSO: Well what is it?

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: Checking Sir...

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
XO: Trying now sir.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::engages in evasive maneuvers to avoid the... thing... emerging from the viewscreen ahead::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Waits a few moments before arriving on the appropriate deck.  He exits the turbolift and heads towards the main doors to Engineering.  He notices one of the senior members of Bravo Team.::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: I dunno, that's why I said, "something."

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Is tapped on the shoulder, and takes it as a signal to follow. He goes after the XO to the TAC station.:: XO: Yes, sir? Is there anything I can do?

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: Shields down to 56% Sir, weapons still functional.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CNS: Yes there is. How's that psych-profile coming along?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
XO:  We're just buying time in this place.  If that distortion hadn't popped up we'd really have been in for it.  CSO:  How bad are the radiation levels now?

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
XO: Sir we are receiving a hail, but it is rather odd. It is Starfleet in origin but it appears to be over two hundred years old.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Reloads the rear torpedo tubes and fires them at the battleship and then fires the rear phasers again::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::stops for a moment, nodding to the CTO::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
OPS: On-screen.

CSO Ens Jeq 
ACMO: Getting worse.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::His head is pounding.:: XO: Which report exactly, sir?

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Routes the hail to the view screen::

CO Capt Bodine 
::stands and waits for the incoming transmission::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Enters Main Engineering with his security officers in tow.  He motions them to secure the doors and the warp core.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::her acute sense of hearing pricks her ears up OPS statement grabs her attention::  Self:  How is that possible....  OPS/XO: The message...this strange time distortion...

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::glances up at the screen while trying to avoid fire from the Dominion ships::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Fires at the Jem'Hadar attack ships again, trying to knock them out::

CSO Ens Jeq 
ALL: The distortion is dissipating!

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CNS: The one I asked for in my brief?....get with the Doctor, make it happen. ::smiles at him, then walks back to the command circle::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CO/XO:  Are we entirely sure we're even in our own time?

FCO Lt Ryushi 
ACMO: That is indeed a very good question.

EO Lt Spanner 
:: looks up at the TO and his entourage entering engineering :: TO:  Just what going on here?

#<NX Captain> COM: General: This is Cap-- ::heavy interference, and the video is practically nonexistent:: of the Earth Starfl--ship Discovery to any vessel. Do you re----

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
ACMO: Time distortion is a definite possibility here.

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Any chance you can clear that up?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::just nods to the doctor::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Where is that transmission coming from?

TO Ens Thalataar 
EO:  We're under attack from the Dominion.  We are securing Main Engineering should the Jem'Hadar decide to board the ship.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
XO: I have a recommendation...

XO LtCmdr Rome 
FCO: Go on.

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: Start on a ship registry scan of all ships named Discovery in this area.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
XO: Yessir. ::Rushes to the ACMO.::

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
XO: I doubt it sir. They are slipping in and out of space-time.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CO:  Captain, being in this area...it's putting the crew at risk.  I have to point this out.  ::unsheathes her claws and tries to move over to the Captain::

EO Lt Spanner 
TO:  Fine, just keep them out of my people's way.  Do I make myself clear Ensign?

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Sure... ::starts scanning what she can while at the same time watching for radiation::

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Captain... he said Earth Starfleet vessel... that predates the Federation I believe Sir.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Raises his eyebrow.::  EO:  I know how to run my security team.  Do you require any assistance in conducting repairs?

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Also detecting phase cannon and photonic torpedo energy Sir... but the scanners are crap.

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO/XO: Oh, wow... the Discovery is a very very very very old ship...

EO Lt Spanner 
TO:  Any of your team qualified to repair any part of this ship?

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: But they are going into subspace and back out can you isolate the carrier wave so that it follows. Meaning, normal carrier wave it to start in normal space penetrate subspace then exit subspace again at the destination point. Can you configure the comm wave to not come back out at the target?

FCO Lt Ryushi 
XO: We need to leave this area quickly.  The computer has the ability to make course adjustments more quickly than I can.  If we jump to warp one for a few seconds, allow the computer to navigate the radiation pockets... it could at least buy us some time to regenerate a portion of the shields...

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO/XO: Like, hundreds of years old, when I was a man for the first time... NX class.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::turns to the Counselor and lowers her voice as she explains::  CNS:  The report on Sinjin.  I needed to access it to find out about his biological status.

TO Ens Thalataar 
EO:  I am qualified to work on any of the tactical systems that may be damaged.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Send the data on that class to our stations please.

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
CO: I can try, but success is highly doubtful sir.

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO/XO: I'm detecting old phase cannon energy and possibly some photonic torpedoes...

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: What was the Discovery's Mission when it was last seen?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
FCO:  I agree with you.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: Yes, I'll have it for you in one moment, I was interrupted by this damned headache! I'll get the information for you, now. ::Runs to an empty station to compile the info.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: The battleship is gone Sir, and the Attack ships are losing energy fast...

XO LtCmdr Rome 
FCO: Stand by.

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Please do try.

EO Lt Spanner 
TO:  Then if any of the tactical systems get damaged, I'll let you know.  Thanks.

CO Capt Bodine 
COM: Discovery: This is the Starfleet ship Cygnus, are you able to receive?

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO: Um, the ship never was lost.

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO: In fact, it was never even near this part of space!

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS:  That's okay, I already gained access to it.  Sinjin's DNA has been altered and he is aging prematurely.  I don't know what it might be doing to his psyche.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Grumbles softly at the engineer's lack of wanting assistance..::

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: Indeed? Where should it be?

CTO Ens Murphy 
CSO: Can you get us a nav-beacon fix please? Make sure what part of space "this" is?

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Tries to compensate for the changes with little success::

ACTION: The field of subspace distortions stabilize completely all around local space. All that remains is a lone Jem'Hadar attack ship closing, heavily damaged, yet closing fast on Cygnus.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Taps his commbadge.::  *CTO*:  Thalataar to Murphy.  Main Engineering is secure.

CO Capt Bodine 
CTO: Can you finish them if need be?

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Furrows his brow.:: ACMO: It should only have the effects that are common for whatever age he has reached. Time is what brings wisdom, not biological age, after all. But any degradation to his brain should have the effects of dementia common in the old.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CTO: The radiation will make that rather difficult  ::engages in evasive maneuvers with the attack ship::

EO Lt Spanner 
TO:  Look, I really do appreciate the offer, but, I've had one to many unqualified people try and help out lately.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Attempts to lock on weapons ... and if that fails... aims manually... firing all weapons she can bring to bear on the Attack ship::

CTO Ens Murphy 
*TO* Thanks T-man.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::hears Murphy and hopes they can figure out 'when' they are...just in case::  Self:  If the Captain doesn't get us out of here soon...  ::is not going to wait much longer with the radiation threat::

CO Capt Bodine 
CTO: Hold your fire!

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: It's on a suicide run Captain...

ACTION: Cygnus fires phasers at the attack ship. Before the CTO can hold her fire in time, the enemy ship rips apart in pieces.

CO Capt Bodine 
ALL: Listen I want answers not dead bodies damn it!

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: Survivors?

TO Ens Thalataar 
EO:  Unqualified?  If any of my team was unqualified, I wouldn't put phasers in their hands in an attempt to protect this ship.

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO: Too late.

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Quickly going over the damage reports::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::growls, the Captain's mood firing up her senses::  CO:  Why are we staying here?  Can't we get out of this?

CO Capt Bodine 
::sits down with a sigh and no words his hand on his forehead::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
XO: Recommend all stop, sir...

EO Lt Spanner 
TO:  I mean qualified engineers.  I happen to believe you and your team is highly qualified tactical officers.

ACTION: The ship alarm klaxons go off...

CSO Ens Jeq 
ACMO: If we could, we would have by now, I'm sure.

CTO Ens Murphy 
*TAC*: All Tactical personnel... transporter signatures on decks 2, 3, and 7, Jem'Hadar have boarded us!

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: Initiate your evacuation plan move us out Lieutenant.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CO: Captain, Mr. Ryushi has an idea how to get us out of this.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Activates emergency forcefields to attempt to contain the boarders::

CO Capt Bodine 
XO: Yes, I heard Number one, thanks.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
XO: That was to get us away from the battle, Commander, sorry.  In theory, however, we could use the same method to clear the radiation field.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::nods::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: Evacuation plan, sir?

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Hears Murphy's message and then gives Lieutenant Spanner a hand phaser.::  EO:  Secure the warp core.

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO/XO: We've been boarded Sirs...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::shakes her head as the Captain hasn't ordered it yet.  Walks over to Jeq's console and asks quietly, trying to calm down, all too aware that her Caitian side is coming out too strongly::  CSO:  The radiation, is it penetrating yet?

CO Capt Bodine 
ACMO: How soon before radiation levels become non-treatable?

TO Ens Thalataar 
Bravo:  Bravo Team stand ready!  ::Unholsters his phaser rifle and holds it in his hands ready to fire at a moment's notice.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO/XO: Apparently though, it was only a bloody mess... not survivors.

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Scans for signs of intruders::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: Can you seal them off with forcefields?!

CSO Ens Jeq 
ACMO: No, but we're getting closer. I'm sorry I have such vague information but that's all I can give.

EO Lt Spanner 
:: takes the phaser :: TO:  Exactly what I planed on doing.

<Computer> *Bridge*: Warning! Radiation levels approaching critical. Lethal exposure in 10 minutes.

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: Forcefields were up, Commander, but there's nothing to contain... just clean up.

CSO Ens Jeq 
ACMO: Oh, there you go.

EO Lt Spanner 
Computer:  Secure forcefield around warp core.  Authorization Spanner delta nine beta zero.

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: Yes I thought I said proceed ..

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: Sir, there is no need to evacuate the ship...

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: How so, Ensign.

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: Please do ..

CTO Ens Murphy 
ALL: If we got radiation suits on it would make that a lot longer...

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CO:  So far it penetration is just minutes away.  We're inoculated but for how long?  I could give a stronger dose, but that's risky.  Maybe...  ::listens to the warning::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Shakes his head a bit at the increase in radiation and then turns to watch as the Lieutenant gets the warp core secured.::

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Giving up on his task, he runs to the ACMO:: ACMO: Is there anything at all we can do, even just for the Bridge? 

CSO Ens Jeq 
CO: I agree with the Vulcan...

CSO Ens Jeq 
Self: For once...

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: I'd rather risk it than be sure of dying of radiation!

CTO Ens Murphy 
*TAC*: Take the one live one to sickbay... post a guard, visual range at all times, and a restraint field.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
FCO: He means the plan you suggested Lieutenant....do it.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CO:  The only thing we can do is get away from the source of the radiation and quickly.  I can't predict how badly it will affect us.

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: We have one survivor Sir, barely alive. ACMO: Doctor, they need you in sickbay.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::stares at the CO:: XO: Yes, sir... so I should not initiate an evacuation of the ship?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: Have your TO stand guard over him in Sickbay.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
FCO: No.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
XO: Aye, sir.  ::turns back to his console, shaking his head::

ACTION: The klaxons cancel out. Sickbay medics report the terrible stench of the irradiated Jem'Hadar bodies they found. Only one survived a beam-in attempt, and is in critical condition.

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: Aye Sir. *TO*: T-man.. report to sickbay, I need you to ride herd on one live Jem'Hadar prisoner. Leave Bravo Team in Engineering.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CTO: Right... I heard.  ::moves quickly for the turbolift, very relieved that they may be moving out soon now::  Turbolift: Sickbay.  *MO Canary*:  Report!  Stat!

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Hears the alarms die off.::  EO:  Hmmm.... It must be over.  ::Hears the comm.::  *CTO*: Right away.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: I'll come with you. ::Follows Trillian to Sickbay.::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::programming the flight computer quickly:: ALL: Prepare for some minor "jostling"... the rapidity of the course changes may be too much for the inertial dampers to handle...

CO Capt Bodine 
ACMO: You sound like you might be needed in sickbay. Good luck doctor.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS:  How much time in the infirmary do you have.  I think we're about to need any hand in medical we can get.  ::waves to the Captain as the doors close::

CO Capt Bodine 
::nods to the CNS::

TO Ens Thalataar 
EO:  I must go to Sickbay.  I will make certain my security personnel don't interfere in your work.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Scans the area for contacts::

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
CO: Awaiting damage reports sir. I will send teams as needed.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::presses more buttons as his console beeps:: CO: Sir... I have received new coordinates... source unknown... they are accompanied by a message... it reads, "Salvation".

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Pass them down to the EO.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: Limited, but enough. Tell me what to do, and I can do it quick.

EO Lt Spanner 
:: nods :: TO:  Much appreciated.

<MO Canary> *ACMO*: We have the Jem boys in here.  There's others streaming in with sundry injuries.  I've called in all medics available with all these gyrations.  Word on the radiation?

CSO Ens Jeq 
::wonders why anyone would want to interfere with dead bodies...::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Leaves Engineering and heads back towards the turbolift.  Once he arrives in it, he instructs it to take him one deck below.::

CO Capt Bodine 
CTO: Make sure sickbay is under guard.

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: My TO and a team are en route Captain.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::smiles at the Counselor::  CNS: Don't worry, you'll have plenty to do.  I really appreciate your help.  ::the doors open and she goes into a sprint down the hall towards sickbay::

CO Capt Bodine 
CTO: Don't interfere with the Medical teams.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues to scan using LRS and SRS Tactical scanners looking for contacts::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
OPS: Have we had no more contact with the NX ship?

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: How far, and does it lead us back into radioactive pockets?

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Of course not Sir, they are just watching the prisoner.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Gives a sly look to the ACMO as they exit the TL together.:: ACMO: And if all else fails, I'll be there for moral support. ::Runs.::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Waits for the turbolift to slow and stop.  He leaves the lift and heads for Sickbay.  He briskly enters the room.::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Looks around for the surviving Jem'Hadar.::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: It does lead to another radiation field, but it is far less dense than our current one.  It should not be a problem to navigate.

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
XO: Gone sir. I could never even tell you it was there sir.

CO Capt Bodine 
::turns to face the CTO in front of everyone:: CTO: I can expect that in the future when the time has come for a final strike on a target you will confirm with the Commanding Officer?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::nods to OPS::

CO Capt Bodine 
XO: Any Objections? I'd like to not leave this area empty handed and clueless?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS:  We might all need that!  ::slows down as she enters sickbay and goes into immediate action, taking the padds and looking over each patient's condition, especially the Jem’Hadar.  Directs each doctor::  CNS:  Could you come with me.  If the Jem'Hadar starts talking you're good at diplomatic relations.  ::hands the last padd back on her way to the Jem’Hadar:

TO Ens Thalataar 
ACMO, CNS:  Where is the Jem'Hadar that lives?!

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CO: None sir. Let's hope we can get something from the Jem'Hadar in sickbay.

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Did you want me to ask as they were making that suicide run, Captain? I only had time to talk or shoot. I choose to protect the ship Sir.

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: Proceed at your discretion Lt.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Enters Sickbay behind Trillian.:: ACMO: Of course, sir. I'll see what I can do. ::Sees Jorn:: TO: We know as much as you do, big guy.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::turns to face the CO:: CO: With all due respect, sir, Ensign Murphy had no way of knowing the exact condition of that ship.  The sensors are so limited in this type of space...

<Computer> *Bridge*: Warning! Radiation levels approaching critical. Lethal exposure in 5 minutes.

TO Ens Thalataar 
ACMO, CNS:  I am to stand guard.  ::Shakes his head again.::  Why does my head hurt so much.

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: You certain about this?

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: I don't even have weapons locks, Sir, it's all I can do to hit the bloody things.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
TO: I know, it's the radiation. Try not to think about it--it'll either be over soon, or we'll all be dead. ::Follows after ACMO.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::turns to the tactical officer, her fur rising and she growls out an answer::  TO:  You even think of getting near my patient, enemy or not, or these claws won't stay sheathed.  ::turns back to the living Jem'Hadar and looking over his bios::  CNS/MO Canary: Not good.  The others are a lost cause I'm afraid.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CSO: Ensign, confirm the condition of the sensors?

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Shields at 43%, but radiation levels are dropping off Captain.

CSO Ens Jeq 
FCO: Yeah, they're confirmed.

TO Ens Thalataar 
ACMO:  You are lucky I don't eat felines.  ::Grumbles.::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::looks back at the CO:: CO: Yes, I am sure.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::turns back to his console and begins preparation for the computerized warp jump::

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Radiation is still getting by the shields though, they are only 42% effective against EM Radiation to begin with.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Snaps:: TO: Jorn, shut up! Just make sure nothing happens to us in here. ::Turns to ACMO.:: ACMO: What can I do?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
Jem'Hadar:  Can you talk?  ::runs a dermal regenerator over his face first::  MO Canary:  Get the Counselor a DR too.  And then start on his arms.  CNS:  Can you get his shirt off?  ::hands him a laser scalpel:: Hope you know how to use this...

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Keeps a close eye on the Doctor, the Counselor and the Jem'Hadar.::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::while she works quickly on the patient's face watching his vitals carefully::  TO:  Your head hurts?  Did you hit it?

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Starts to worry over the condition of the ship::

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Nods, takes the scalpel, and begins peeling off the Jem'Hadar's armor. After a moment, he has most of the shirt off, though part of the fabric is scorched into the flesh. He takes the dermal regenerator and begins applying it to the patient's arms, to moderate effect.::

TO Ens Thalataar 
ACMO:  No I didn't.  It could be the radiation the Counselor was speaking about.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Keeps his phaser rifle in his hands as he stands watch.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues to monitor what sensors there are looking for contacts::

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Can you turn that damn alarm off ..

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::sits down in his chair::

CO Capt Bodine 
::smiles at the XO:: XO: How's it feel to have a choice?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CO: Different, kind of nice.

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
CO: Aye sir. ::Turns of the alarm signal::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::readies the computer:: All: Prepare to go to warp one.  It will be a rather bumpy ride.

CO Capt Bodine 
XO: It's certainly good to see you up.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
Self:  This is going downhill...  MO Canary:  Get the clamshell over him, get him the White, he's low, watch his bp and pump it up if it falls any lower.  ::rattles off some specific amounts to set. smacks her commbadge::  *CO*:  Captain, the Jem'Hadar patient is unconscious and we may be losing him.  I have him under the clamshell to stabilize.

ACTION: Cygnus engages at warp one...

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Moves to the patient's other side and applies the DR where he can around the clamshell.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::nods:: CO: Thank you sir....I feel back up to specs. Like I can take what ever is coming.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
::braces one hand against the console and uses the other to monitor the space ahead and watch the computer's adjustments::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::not wanting to ask this because of the Jem's tenuous hold on life but knows she has to::  *CO*:  Do you want him awakened?  I can try to give him a stimulant, but it will put his life in jeopardy.  CNS:  Could you have a channel opened from the bridge so we can hear what's going on?  ::looks at his work::  Not bad!  You need to come in here more.

CO Capt Bodine 
*ACMO*: What can I do to assist Doctor?

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Examines the sheer size of the Jem'Hadar as it lays on the biobed.  This had been the closest he had ever come to a Jem'Hadar in person.::

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: Right. ::Applies the regenerator where she indicated, then moves quickly to a station at the wall and opens a link with the Bridge, filling the room with the chatter of the various conversations.:: ACMO: Link open. I'll work on his legs, now. ::Does so.::

CO Capt Bodine 
*ShipWide*: Brace for turbulence

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Holds on while running a diagnostic on Tactical systems and monitoring sensors::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::grabs the side of his chair:: CO: Things are looking up.

ACTION: A slight, but noticeable rumble shakes the ship only a minute after Cygnus approached the coordinates the FCO was given from the unknown. Then a dull green haze fills the darkness of space on the viewscreen

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
TO:  If it's the radiation...  You might be more sensitive.  I can give you another dose but let's see if the ship is moving away from it.  CNS:  Could you find out from science if we're getting away from the radiation?  ::hears the Captain's warning::  All: This is not the time.  ::sinks the claws of one her hands into the biobed::

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
Self: What is that?

CO Capt Bodine 
FCO: Drop to impulse when ready.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Nods at the Doctor and watches things closely from nearby, his phaser rifle still held firmly in his hands.::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: Approaching the coordinates...

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: Can you identify that haze?

EO Lt Spanner 
Ens F'xit:  Come on, lets get those shields up a little better.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: What's our status?

CO Capt Bodine 
XO: What does that look like to you?

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Hears the mention of a 'haze' over the link.:: ACMO: What could that be? A haze?

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: there is a problem, sir... engine control is not responding... attempting to reroute over the circuitry...

CNS LtJG Heiran 
::Taps his commbadge.:: *CSO*: The Doctor wishes to know our status concerning the radiation. Are we clearing it, or no?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CO: No idea..::looks over at the conn::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::adjusts the settings of the saline slightly hoping to move his blood pressure up just a little more::  CNS:  That usually means that we may have more coming in to sickbay.  I'm not sure I want to know...

CTO Ens Murphy 
XO: Weapons ready Sir, shields at 39%. Looks like the radiation is falling off rapidly Sir. Request permission to recharge the shield grid to full... 40 seconds with the shields down?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CTO: Coordinate with Engineering.

CO Capt Bodine 
*EO*: This is the Bridge we have lost control of the warp engines report!

CTO Ens Murphy 
*EO*: Lieutenant Spanner, any problem with me taking the shields down to recharge them to full?

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: Did you hear that? We're pulling away from the radiation!

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO/CTO: I would not recommend dropping shields at this time...

EO Lt Spanner 
*CO*  On it Captain, I'll let you know as soon as I do.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS/TO: Did you hear that?  ::runs the regenerator down the man's neck::  This is going from bad to worse!

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS:  Thanks.  That is good news especially since it looks like we're going to come to a stop soon.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Growls and squeals a bit.::  Aloud:  Why did they give us this small ship?

CTO Ens Murphy 
FCO: Something is still draining them, Lieutenant... they will fall eventually anyway.

EO Lt Spanner 
*CTO* You'll need to hang on a few minutes Ensign.

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Can we cut the power while engines are engaged?

CTO Ens Murphy 
*EO*: Understood. Let me know when you are ready.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CTO: We are still traveling at faster-than-light speeds in a radioactive region of space.  I adamantly object to dropping the shields now.

CSO Ens Jeq 
ALL: Polarized graviton field is draining the shields.

EO Lt Spanner 
:: running diagnostic ::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: And the good news?

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: No.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
TO:  It's a science ship.  It's what we do....  ::takes an instrument from her medical officer, then takes a moment to look at the Jem'Hadar's vitals::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: We're being pulled somewhere we don't wanna be.

CTO Ens Murphy 
FCO: Engineering wants to wait...

CO Capt Bodine 
CSO: From where, any suggestions on countering the effect?

ACTION: The radiation threat ends, yet the shields are still falling...

EO Lt Spanner 
:: looks at the initial report and runs a more thorough one ::

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CTO: Engineering is right.

CTO Ens Murphy 
CO: Radiation is gone Captain.. but there is still something draining the shields.

EO Lt Spanner 
*CO*:  Sir, initial diagnostic shows it to be the Leyla unit.

CSO Ens Jeq 
ALL: Shields still failing, but we're out of radiation. 

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: For the record, sir... cutting power while engaging the engines would create a stationary warp field around the ship...

CO Capt Bodine 
Leyla: Respond!

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
XO: Incoming hail sir. On the Verillian channel.

CSO Ens Jeq 
*ACMO*: Radiation isn't a threat any longer.

CNS LtJG Heiran 
ACMO: At least that is over... for the moment.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
OPS: Let's answer it.

CO Capt Bodine 
*TO*: Get into the core, await my orders.

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
::purrs out her relief::  *CSO*:  That's the news I wanted to hear. Thanks!

EO Lt Spanner 
*CO*: When the level 2 diagnostics come back, I should be able to tell you more.

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: You heard the XO, this should be good.

FCO Lt Ryushi 
CO: ... which would heat the gel-pack circuitry... eventually causing an implosion of the ship...

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues to monitor sensors and Tactical systems, keeping an eye on the shield status::

OPS LtCmdr Burton 
::Opens the channel:: CO: Very well sir.

$<Sinjin Gadyn> ::audio only, and very clear:: COM: Cygnus: Captain Bodine...*hiss*...may I please see you and your first officer...in your ready room?

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
CNS: Let's hope what we're heading for isn't worse.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Grumbles softly.::  Self:  I wish they would decide where to place me.  *CO*:  Right away Captain.  ::Hands the Counselor his hand phaser.::  CNS:  Just in case.  ::Heads out of Sickbay and heads towards the main computer core::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::glances at Mr. Burton at the mention of the ready room::

EO Lt Spanner 
Self:  Come on!!  :: waiting on the diagnostic ::

ACMO LtCmdr Trillian 
*TO*:  Hey, if your head feels worse, you comm me immediately, okay?

CO Capt Bodine 
OPS: Do what you can to severe Leyla's connection from the computer. You have the Bridge

CO Capt Bodine 
XO: Shall we?

CO Capt Bodine 
::stands headed to the ready room::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::Stands up:: CO: Should be fun.

EO Lt Spanner 
:: sees the diagnostic results :: *CO* Sir, a signal came through to the Leyla unit.
