INFO: In the time since our last episode, Commodore Yost met with Captain Jakiel to confess much of what he knew about the cryogens on level Tier D, and the USS Tillman currently in dock...
...but he snapped, attacked Jakiel to no avail, and was promptly arrested by station security. Now the captain, all shook up, has summoned her officers in the briefing room for an urgent meeting...

CO Cmdr Jakiel
::stands looking out a window while she waits for her senior officers, thinking and trying to calm herself after being attacked::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::arrives at the Briefing room and takes a seat at the end of the table next to the Captain's chair:: CO: Sir.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Walks into the Briefing Room, takes a seat and sips from her Raktajino::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Enters the Briefing Room, unknowingly having a twig in his beard.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks up from his PADD and frowns::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Mr. Thalataar...
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
XO: Yes Commander?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Clean up.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Scratches his head.:: XO: I am clean.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
TO: Get the twig outta your beard, mate. Yer makin' me look bad.

XO Cmdr Rome
::stands up and reaches over the table, grabbing the twig and pulling it harshly out of his beard and placing it on the desk::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::enters briefing room with a PADD and sits down, nodding to those present.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::turns around and walks over to the table to stand by her chair, not feeling like sitting:: Commanders...Lieutenants. ::watches Jonathan 'grooming' the Tellarite and she can't help but smile::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sits back down annoyed and shuts off his PADD::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
XO, CTO: Hrm.. I wonder how that got there. ::Grabs the twig and sniffs it and then eats it.:: CTO: I was working on some things. Must have become a little over zealous.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::shakes her head at the by-play between the XO and the TO.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
TO: Apparently. Next time we are ordered to a meeting, give yerself a once-over in the mirror first, aye?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::nods to Jonathan to have them come order::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::puts his fingers to his lips and whistles loudly::
 
ACTION: The twig Jorn ate tastes similar to liquorices.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CTO: It's only a twig. Besides, it kinda tasted good.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::winces at the shrill noise not meaning for that particular way of getting everyone's attention:: All: Ladies...gentlemen.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Glances to the XO, eyebrow raised::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sees her wince and lets out a brief smile....it worked at least::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Looks at the CO with a concerned glance at the XO, who looks tired..::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Takes a seat.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::picks up her PADD absently and taps it on the table before speaking:: All: For those who were on the Tillman, you may not be aware of the 'incident' that just occurred. Admiral Yost is now in our brig after attempting to attack me.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Glances around the room, watching reactions::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::watches the crew with a stern look on his face::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::places PADD on tabletop, near her writing hand as she waits for the CO to begin.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
All: The Admiral told me he was under orders and was being blackmailed, the life of his son was in jeopardy...supposedly. I...need to let you know that the entire Founders story was false. We still need study the cryogenic liquid but the Admiral said it was that of an unknown species.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
All: He had taken the bizarre action of sticking his hand in the green suspension to obtain enough to fill a hypo to try and inject me with.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::A little sigh escapes her as the news hits not entirely unexpected.."under orders, great..." she mutters."::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::looks at Paige:: All: Legally, there is nothing I can do to suspect our original orders but Yost... ::doesn't bother to use his title:: ...told me Crenshaw will say he was the originator of the orders.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Listens to what the Commander is saying.::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::glances at CO apologetically and shuts up.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
All: By telling you this information you all may be in jeopardy, but being whom I am keeping it secret could allow those responsible to continue more easily. If any of you would like to leave and hear no more I will understand. ::looks at each one in turn and keeps silent for a minute::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Gives CO a look that says "yeah right like I'm walking out of here"::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CO: By bringing those containers here to the station, by the sounds of it we may all be in jeopardy because of Yost.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Considers a reply, but stays silent and watches the CO::
 
ACTION: Seen beyond the windows of the briefing room, overlooking the adjacent Ops control center, there is a small commotion going on between two anxious looking crewmen.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Captain, if I may?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
TO: Jorn, go see what that ruckus is all about.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::prepares her questions::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::the support she feels helps her feel less worried, shakes her head:: TO: If you mean we could be contaminated? I do not think there is anything viral, no, from preliminary tests and scans. But as witnesses, yes. TO/CTO: Still, I need your department to see they are put in a safe biohazard area... ::looks over as she sees something::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Commander, go ahead::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::Stands up straightening his uniform::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: On what you just commented.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::nods to Murphy and then the window for her to investigate if she wishes::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: As I told you in my report, Sir, I already did that.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Yes?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
All: I want to suggest we move the cryogens back to the Tillman, I managed to get the main computer back up and SCE is working on the power systems.....we can keep them there under full quarantine for now. I am not liking the idea of those things here, not until we know more....Yost left too many things out.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CO, XO: Excuse me while I go take care of the hooligans outside. ::Stands up and scurries out of the Observations Lounge heading for the control center to take a look and see what's going on.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Excuse me. ::looks at Murphy:: CTO: Yes, you are right. ::thinks about what Rome has just said::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: They are currently under guard and a medical quarantine in a microbiology lab Sir.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: Who is blackmailing him? Do we know that?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CTO: And I don't think that's enough lieutenant...
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
Officers: What is going on here? ::Grumbles, his hands clenched into fists.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: Are you questioning the ability of my troops, Sir? ::said with a raised eyebrow::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: There will be more in my report shortly, including drawings for medical and any of you that would like to see more...data...that Yost showed me. Unfortunately, him showing me was a ruse and the computer was shut off before I could make a copy.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CTO: Not at all, but I want to be safe here lieutenant.....something feels off.
 
<Ens Finney> ::spots the TO coming down from the briefing room and goes up to him:: TO: Lieutenant, we've got a problem. ::points to a power distribution layout monitor:: Something just caused all the power on Tiers C, D, and E to go out. We've got security and engineering checking it out already.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods to the CO::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Have we learned much more from Yost that’s useful?
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Pulls at his hair a bit.:: Aloud: Blasted commodores! What has caused this.... power failure?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: I just tossed him in solitary and put him under constant eye-on guard. I haven't spoken with him.
 
<PO Gil> TO: We didn't want to disturb your meeting. This sort of thing's been happening a lot since construction began.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
Gil: Then what is the problem? Why are you all agitated?
 
Delon:
<Gil> TO: Because the computer can't identify what caused it. It's pretty damned peculiar if you ask me.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO/CO/XO: I think we need to get fully briefed, we need as much info as we can gather...
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::glances out the window again, a small part of her 'awareness' on the two men's emotions:: XO/CTO: Sirs, please discuss with medical and see if it would be safer to have the cryogens moved back to the Tillman. For study purposes and medically I am inclined to let them stay where tactical put them.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
Gil: Stop standing around and find out what caused the problem! Were there any power surges or abnormalities prior to the power being lost?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: I must insist sir. I don't want those things on station. But the final word is yours of course.
 
<Security> *CTO/TO*: This is security on Tier-D cargo, section 3. We've got movement down here, but not Starfleet. We--- ::audio cut::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
:: Looks to the ceiling and squeals a bit.:: Self: I told them that having the containers here was a bad idea.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::hears the comm over the CTO's badge:: CO: Too late.....
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: With respect, Commander, there aren't the same level of medical quarantine fields on a 100 year old hulk as we have on the station, and I don't want to waste people on that tub if I don't have too. My people have orders to keep the pods under constant guard, and quarantine field, and if anything breaks it, to vaporize the whole lot.
 
<Finney> TO/Gil: Oh geez, the comm system just shorted out, but it's only localized. Routing transmission circuits...
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
Gil: Go over the sensor records from the tier sections and look for anything abnormal from moments before they lost power.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::glances at the CTO as her commbadge goes off.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CIV: You are right. I am in the process of recording everything I can remember now. I will need you to look into our avenues of what charges, legally, can be brought against Admiral Yost. XO: Commander, please have data showing that the cryogens need to be moved. I agree with the Lieutenant that I am leery of a one hundred year old ship.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::walks away:: CO: Excuse me. ::enters Operations::
 
<Gil> ::attempts to do as ordered:: TO: It won't let me, sir. I don't have access.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Report.
 
<Finney> TO: Same here, someone's locked us out.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::makes a few quick notes on her PADD::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
Gil: What do you mean you don't have access? ::Shoves the Petty Officer to the side and attempts to look over the sensor logs.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*Tac-A/B/C*: SRU, this is a scramble alert... I want a quarter and search of Tiers Bravo, Charlie, and Delta, ASAP. Full combat load out and use containment protocols. Report as you clear by section. Let's shag it, people!
 
ACTION: The computer denies the TO's security clearance.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::walks over to the TO and looks over his shoulder::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: Look into that... ::stops as Murphy replies to her comm::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: Permission to go with the Tac Teams Sir?
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Glances at the CTO silently asking permission after all this is her gig..::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CIV: Permission granted! Go.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Pounds his fist on the console.:: Aloud: Blasted computers. ::Attempts to bypass the security protocols to gain access to the sensor logs.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Computer: Computer, verify command codes. First Officer Jonathan Rome, Commander. Beta-Nine-Zero-Zero-Five-Gamma.
 
<SRU> *CTO*: Confirmed Sir.
 
ACTION: Power to all turbolifts leading to Tier D are cut. Forcefields are in place blocking alternate routes.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CTO: Get that under control immediately.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: On my way. ::Trots out heading for Tier D::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Stands and waits for the CTO::
 
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply. Command codes have been temporarily suspended.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::walks with the CTO::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Don't mind if I tag along?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Computer: Override! First officer's authorization!
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::checks palm phaser.::
 
<Computer> XO: Unable to comply. Angel-01Gamma access required.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Self: Angel.....what?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: No Sir. *Armory*: Beam my Assault Gear to Turbolift 23, and a set of gear for Commander Harker.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::goes over to the computer next to Jonathan, but carefully keeps the padd with her:: Computer: Captain Tessa Jakiel...Zeta zeta beta gamma. ::waits::
 
<Armory> *CTO*: Understood Sir.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::grabs the TO's shoulder:: TO: Open the armory locker. ::motions to the far wall:: Arm everyone here.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Taps his chin and notices the Commander.:: XO: I wonder if Yost is behind this... or maybe... what the Commander was discussing.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gets on the TL::
 
<Computer> CO: Unable to comply. Improper security authorization.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Nods and heads over to the weapons locker and inputs his access commands.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Computer: Red alert.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Nods her thanks for the armor as they picked up speed::
 
ACTION: The red alert klaxons do not respond.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks over at Tactical with a stern look::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gears up::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::walks over there and tries to set alert red on his own::
 
ACTION: Manual override on the tactical console does not activate Red Alert status.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Does the same, putting on the old familiar armor, her time as a TAC officer come flooding back as she checks her weapons.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Computer: Dr Jakiel. Confirm medical authorization. ::uses her old codes:: Gamma 007 Delta 666. Do it now!
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Grabs some phasers and starts handing them out. He straps a hand phaser to his belt and also grabs a phaser rifle and slings it over his shoulder. He returns to Commander Rome and hands him a phaser.::
 
<Gil> CO/XO: I've got comms up on Tier D again. Patching through!
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::takes the phaser and checks the power levels:: TO: Most appreciated.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::puts it on his belt::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Takes up position as CTO's backup.::
 
<Security> *Ops*: Oh God....please, aaah.....AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! ::sounds of flesh being seared and sliced::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::a chill runs up his back::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Gil: Good...we... ::listens and immediately moves a little away from the others to 'concentrate'::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Gil: Open a channel to all ships in the area.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Ready lets roll..
 
<Unknown deep, gushy voice> *Ops*: Taaath....rooutaaag... ::audio cut::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Nods, raises her phaser rifle, and steps off the TL, sweeping left and right as she advances in the direction of Tier D::
 
ACTION: Tactical is stopped by forcefields blocking routes to Tier D.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::freezes:: Self:  Thoth?
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Follows attaching a light to the bottom of her phaser rifle and a tricorder on the top as she watches the CTO's back.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::grabs the CO' shoulder:: CO: Captain, no time for that....I'm going to talk to the ships....get on comms, inform the station of our status. Tell everyone to get to safe locations.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Grabs a PADD and begins writing some instructions. He turns to one of the security officers.:: Sec: Have Security Team Epsilon report and secure this level. Omicron, Sigma and Upsilon other critical areas on the station.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CO*: Commander, we are in the area, but there are forcefields blocking our path to Tier D... can you get them down please?
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Figured out how to defunct a forcefield?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::feels a little lightheaded:: XO: The mind...it is very chaotic, unreasonable. But there is definitely another sentience.
 
ACTION: Lights throughout Tier D and sections close by shut off.
 
<Sec Wallace> TO: Yes sir. ::Scurries out of the operations center.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: I could use breaching charges, but Spanner would have a fit.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::turns on her light on her phaser rifle::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CO, XO: I'm getting reinforcements deployed throughout key locations on the station.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::checks to see if the forcefield is still up...::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
~~~Thoth?~~~ ::hopes there is no answer::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Turns on the light on her phaser rifle as well::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::taps a few buttons on the Tactical console:: COMM: Starfleet vessels: All Starfleet vessels, this is First officer Jonathan Rome, Arcadia Station. We are currently at full quarantine mode, intruders have taken over Tier D and locked us out. Lead ship, take command of the fleet and secure the surrounding space.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods to the TO::
 
ACTION: All command functions are restored. Logs on one screen show a pre-programmed macro was set by Commodore Yost two days ago, hence the lockdowns.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Always have a light, looks like its clear. ::looks around, keep her place at the CTO's back..::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
TO: Yes, as much reinforcement as possible. *Infirmary*: Dispatch Trillian and Canary to Tier D, immediately! Scan first, see what DNA and bioreadings you get in that area that are inconsistent with known personnel.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::turns to the Tactical officer:: Tac: Repeat my message on all channels.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Continues to advance on Tier D, checking in with her 3 SWAT teams as she does::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Follows, checking tricorder readings for anything unusual as she keeps her senses on full alert.::
 
ACTION: A transmission from the Defiant Class USS Xerxes responds, as well as the Sundog, and both ships will return to the station in 16 hours.
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CO: Yost should be questioned for his actions. ::He says bluntly.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::the different screen on the screen catches her attention:: XO: Have internal scans taken at once. Have someone compare last known personnel count on station to now and close all avenues of escape.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Captain, the USS Xerxes and Sundog are on their way back. Other ships have not responded yet.
 
ACTION: Something large and tall, and humanoid stands in the CTO and her teams' way, but is too dark to see.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: I don't know about the Cygnus's status.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Aye sir.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
TO: Is Yost still in the brig? ::tries to sense him::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::shines her phaser light at the figure:: Figure: Identify yourself!
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::shines light at entity::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Jorn, take over Tactical. Run a personnel check as per the Captain's orders.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Sets phaser to Maximum Stun, Level 3::
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Nods and heads over to the tactical station and begins going over the personnel reports and scans.::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::already set at max stun,::
 
ACTION: The CTO sees what looks like the mass of blue-green sludge, now formed and standing upright, holding the limp, gutted, yet still breathing body of a security officer, holding the dying man like a trophy, or a hostage.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::relaxes as she feels Yost's particular emotional aura:: *CTO/CIV*: Be careful. This may be beyond what you are expecting.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::taps a button on the aux. console and opens the internal comms:: *All hands*: All hands, this is the First officer. Everyone stay in their quarters until further notice from the Tactical department.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Opens fire::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::opens fire::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::prays silently a lot::
 
<TAC teams> ::Open fire::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::rubs his temples, then takes a deep breath and continues::
 
ACTION: The CTO and CIV fire, and the team follows suit. The creature tosses the body in front, and the officer gets battered with stunning phaser fire. The creature then splits itself in half and disperses in two different directions.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CO*: Contact! Tier D, section J-45... unknown biomass...
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::checks the screens:: CO: Captain! It seems our command codes are back in action.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: We need tiers quarantined off. I know it will put some in jeopardy but we cannot have this...thing...moving around. Set up a grid of forcefields and have tactical stationed in each area.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Computer: Red alert! And this time work!
 
ACTION: Red Alert responds, and all power in Tier D is fully restored.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::takes the Aux. Tactical station::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: You go left I'll go right! reset the forcefields!
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::hesitates for a moment...knowing Murphy and Harker are down there::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::then activates forcefields at all entry points::

CO Cmdr Jakiel
*Dr Zeller*: Report!
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
::Continues to look over all the information regarding the personnel on the station over the last few hours.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: Right. TAC Teams: Alpha and Bravo, go Left with the Commander, Charlie, you are with me!
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CO*: Medical team to Section J-45!
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::nods to CTO:: CTO: Be safe. Takes off to the right with Alpha and Bravo teams::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sends a request to all off duty tactical officers to report to duty and take over all entry points and secure them::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Heads off to set up containment forcefields::
 
<Dr Zeller> *CO*: Captain, we're at Tier D, scanning now. Will have biosignatures shortly. ::looks around, her feline eyes adjusting to the darker areas::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Has someone checked on the cryogens?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Sets up forcefields blocking all directions up, down, and in all lateral directions every section for 5 sections away::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Its in the walls, repeat in the walls.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::remembers Thoth and his inability to understand most humanoids fragility::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CO*:Be advised the entity has split we have two intruders, Harker out.
 
<Dr Zeller> *CO*: This doesn't make sense...but the creature's DNA is consistent to that of Terran origin. But it sure didn't look that way.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:I'm getting scans of liquid human DNA....::continues to check area...::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CIV*: I've got all the sections blocked off for 5 sections in every direction, it's here someplace.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Understood. Continuing search. Harker out.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Captain...should I inform HQ of our status?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Has her team get out tricorders and we begin to sweep and clear the area, section by section::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Yost...he wanted to inject me with that DNA. As if it was some sort of experiment. And yes, send an urgent message to headquarters demanding help and continue to send reports.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: On it.
 
ACTION: A droplet hits the shoulder of one of Murphy's people, then in the next instant, is completely enveloped by a mass blue-green goo.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Continues to carefully search her area, bit by bit.:: *CSO*:Are you guys getting anything on internal sensors?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::grabs Jonathan's arm:: XO: Be careful. Yost also said that both of us in particular are in danger.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::looking all around as well as checking tricorder.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Sets her phaser to level 6, knowing her trooper has battle armor on, and attempts to burn the goo off::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: That doesn't sound good......
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CIV*: Watch out, it's dripping from above, and if it gets on you it takes over!
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:How about we get in enviro suits and freeze the suckers...
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
CO, XO: All the personnel are checked out. There were no additional bio signs on the station.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Well aint that nice.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Computer: Computer, alpha-one priority channel to Starfleet Command. Record message: Starfleet Command, this is First officer Rome, Arcadia Station. We are under full quarantine lockdown, intruders have taken over Tier- D and are advancing. Requesting reinforcements and instructions. Send message.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
Alpha and Bravo: You heard her keep a sharp lookout.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::shakes her head:: XO: No, it doesn't. We need to have security tail us. I can see why someone would want to take both of us down if they want the station for some reason.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CIV*: Better yet, I say decompress the whole damn deck, let it suck vacuum and absolute zero.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Trust me Captain...they won't succeed.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
*Senior Officers*: Report!
 
ACTION: The goo spreads itself out, and the phaser fire instead bores into the security officer, but only deep enough for the armor, and just the upper surface of the torso, then the goo falls through into the floor, and leaves the security person unconscious.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Message sent via express channels.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::gives Jonathan a small smile but knows that some things cannot be stopped::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Its a plan lets reset at the entry point and get suited, well try a deep freeze...
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CO*: Operations, have all personnel evacuate all tiers immediately!
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Fires at the goo as it falls off, full power::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
TO: Jorn...can you get a transporter lock on our people that are locked behind the forcefields with that thing?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::for a second think about Murphy's request but trusts her judgement:: *CTO*: Explain further, but we will start evacuations.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Has her team grab the fallen member and fall back::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Are we pulling back?
 
TO LtJG Thalataar
XO: I will try. ::Accesses the transporter controls and attempts to lock on to any crewmembers within the tiers.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Thank you. Go ahead and start evacuations of personnel closest to the tier in question.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CO*: We are going to decompress the cargo tiers Sir, we need everyone out, right now!
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: We are trying to get transporter locks on all personnel within the forcefields.
 
ACTION: Reports starts flooding into Ops regarding unarmed officers getting attacked, and left for dead by a strange goo creature that has a face resembling Commander Rome.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
*CIV*: Pull back, suppressing fire as needed.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::has her team fall back to the entry point, carefully, continuing their top alert especially from good drops.::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
*CTO*:Roger that.
