OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: maintains lock on the AT ::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::desperately scanning for lifesigns::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::scanning for any more harmful biogenic that would be hazardous to the AT::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@XO: My team and I are gonna get started, sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: AT is on the sur-rface, sir-r.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Sits in his chair::  SO:  Can you detect the ion trail =of that freighter?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@XO: I am ready, sir.  ::Locks his rifle::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::Stands feet firm on the ground...looks around to the TO::  TO: Understood.  Proceed with caution Ensign.

ACTION: Energy readings increase at the missile complex.

SO_Love says:
::At her station, keeping close track of the XO while scanning anything within range.::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: If I can find just one survivor...  ::continues his scans::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@XO: Aye, sir. ::motions for his team to follow him, they head south, phasers and tricorders out::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, energy readings at the Missile Complex are increasing.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CIV: Good Major, head your parties and scout out the regions...I want this place secure and taken.
SO_Love says:
Mmmm... CO:  I am working on... there it is.  I have a lock.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: Keep searching...there is always hope.
SO_Love says:
CO:  There might be more trouble though.  I am picking up increased energy readings at the complex.

ACTION: On the surface, the stench of death is all around, even permeating the away team's enviro-suits.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@XO: Aye.  ::Heads Out::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@Outloud: What is that wretched smell?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@TO: The smell of death, brother.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  What is that an indication of?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sends field supplies to the cargo bays, setting up for wounded ::

ACTION: Some of the dying colonists begin to show signs of DNA degradation.

CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Possibly a firing sequence or it could simply be a high energy diagnostic.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::takes tissue sample of colonist::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns and looks at the Vulcan at tactical ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Keep a lock on it.  Prepare for another missile launch.
SO_Love says:
::Narrows sensors on the complex.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Scans Colonist, making sure their movements are limited to twitching::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::Smells the foul stench pierce his suit...looking around he can see the lifeless bodies lying on the ground...rotting and dying...the flesh like mounds of cloth draped over the skin...picks up his phaser and tricorder...and begins to look around...fortifying the area::
SO_Love says:
CO:  I can't seem to verify one way or the other.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@"XO": I am in position, sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  I don't want to take any chances.

ACTION: Three small craft launch from the missile complex.  They break orbit quickly, and go in three different directions away from the planet at high impulse.

CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::runs up to a colonist still alive and begins treating the wounds, evaluating what he can do for the colonist here on the surface::
SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir, as for the freighter... the longer we wait, the harder it will be to follow.  I can track it out of the system, but I am unable to project a course beyond that.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir three more missiles are traveling away from the planet at high impulse.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@TO: Understood.  Fortify the area and begin to search...scout out as much area as possible. I want those smugglers found.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: In three different directions.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to get a transponder reading on the small craft as they speed away ::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@XO: Aye, sir. :motions the marines to scout the area::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: And they are of Orion origin.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CIV*: Major, how’s your area?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Set and intercept course.  Just pick one.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Motions a marine to hold position, and fortify::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: They are running a sensor-dampening field around them blocking sensors.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@*XO*: All clear here, sir.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::pulls out a neural stimulator to perform a direct reticular stimulation in an attempt to revive the colonist::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CIV*: Understood...keep looking...hopefully they are still about.
Helmsman says:
 CO:  Understood.  Setting a course for the middle ship, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*TO*: How's the scouting going...anything yet?
SO_Love says:
CO:  Sir...  What if that is what they want us to do?  Just a thought.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Contact any Starfleet vessels or allies in this area and give them the last know direction of the ships.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: They are of an older designation, however.

ACTION: The CMO's stimulant has no effect.  The patient has severe DNA degradation.

TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*XO*: Negative, sir, We have not found anything.  Our position is fortified and we are ready for anything that comes our way.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Continues scanning the area::

ACTION: The three shuttles jump to warp and head out of the system.

TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@::continues to search the area with the marines::
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  I have a death rate for you... They are dying at the rate of one approximately every 20 minutes.  However, that seems to be increasing.  Without knowing what is going on down there, I don't know what other factor is involved.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*TO*: Good...if you can help any of the colonists around you do so...and stay fortified.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::uses an electron resonance scanner to verify the extent of the damage to the DNA::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*XO*: Aye, sir.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, they have just initiated warp and bound out of the system.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Aye, Captain. :: opens an emergency communiqué on priority one channel  last known heading and wanted for questioning in the use of biogenic weapon ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*SO*: Understood...We are still trying to figure out just what happened.
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  If I can get a sample of whatever is being used?  I might be able to help in that area.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CMO*: Do you know what kind of chemical did this...or possibly what type of bio-weapon.  If you could get a sample...it would be very useful.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Moves with the Marines ahead::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Engage.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Communiqué sent.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*SO*: Sample.  Yes...I'll see what can be done.
Helmsman says:
CO: Aye sir.  Engaging engines.
SO_Love says:
*XO*:  I would suggest the impact area.  It might have some fragments with whatever was used clinging to it.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@Sgt. Buddy: Take one of your men and do as much scouting as you can, report to me any findings.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: Not yet, Commander.  ::scans area to determine what type of weapon was used::

ACTION: The Claymore breaks orbit, leaving the away teams stranded, and leaps to warp in pursuit of the leading shuttle.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::focuses his tricorder on the area ahead...moving forward he sees the impact site and moves forward...trying to get some readings...to get a sample::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*SO*: Aye.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: holds on as the ship jumps to warp ::
SO_Love says:
*XO*: Just to let you know... we are leaving the area to chase after some old Orion ships that came from the planet.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CMO*: Understood...keep searching...you might also accompany me by the impact site.

ACTION: Two marines report short dizzy spells, but continue working.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*SO*: Understood...I will relay to the teams.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::follows XO to the site of impact::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Walks up to the Private:: Private: You feeling alright?
SO_Love says:
::Sighs and sends down orders to science to prepare a guaranteed area with works.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Ships in the ar-rea will not be able to r-respond for at least an hour-r.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*ALL*: Away teams...the Claymore has left us...to chase Orion ships that came from the planet...in the mean time hold your postions and help any that need it.  Also watch the area incase this chase is a trick.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Red Alert.  OPS:  Once catch up with the shuttle.  I will need you to hail them to see if they respond.  CTO:  If not, we will take them by force.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Tell them to respond. We will attempt to catch up with them later.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: Commander, how do you feel?
Private says:
@ CIV: I am alright, Major, just a bit dizzy.  I can continue.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::feels empty...and dizzy...shakes it off and moves in closer::  CMO: Fine..a little dizzy but fine.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: nods to the CO :: CO:: Acknowledged.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::initiates Red Alert::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sends out the Captain's orders to all ships in the area ::
SO_Love says:
::Widens the LRS range, shortening its area but increasing its efficiency.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: You?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Distance to the lead shuttle?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: Let me check you out quick, sir.  ::begins a DNA reference scan on the XO::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: What is it Ensign?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Shakes his head:: *XO*: Understood.  I have two marines that are feeling a little dizzy.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*Sgt. Buddy*: Anything yet, Sergeant?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: begins hailing the shuttles relentlessly :: CO: The shuttles do not r-reply to hails.
SO_Love says:
::Would be surprised if they did.  There was something wrong about all of this.  She couldn't help but think they were chasing wild geese.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks at the OPS and then back to CTO::  CTO:  Suggestions?  Let’s attempt a tractor beam when we enter range.
Sgt Buddy says:
@ TO: Nothing as of yet, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CIV: I'm feeling it to Major...It looks like breaking us up for fortification might have been a bad idea... Let the two men come to the CMO and I...and let him check your men.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: Well, sir, I notice that the structure of the DNA breaks down over time, and we are both feeling a little dizzy.  I'm just doing my job, sir.  If you die out here...well...  ::looks for signs of DNA degradation::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, sir.

ACTION: The shuttle suddenly drops from warp and swings around towards the Claymore.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Perhaps, some well placed shooting to take out their engines?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@*XO*: Aye, sir.  ::Motions the marines to head back::
SO_Love says:
CO:  Captain, I am going to play the paranoid one here. I just don't like this.  I don't trust it.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: Understood...the Major is sending two of his men...take a look at them too...just in case.
Helmsman says:
CO:  The shuttle has dropped from warp.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Slow to impulse and prepare to meet them.  CTO:  Get ready.  *ALL HANDS* All hands, this is the captain.  Battle stations!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: puts the shuttles on screen ::

ACTION: The shuttle fires two quantum torpedoes at the Claymore.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shunts back up power to weapons and shields ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::arms weapons and raises shields::
SO_Love says:
CO:  We are being fired upon... quantum torpedoes ::Looks over at the CTO::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Evasive maneuvers!
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@XO: And sir, I suggest you leave the vicinity of the impact, as i'm sensing that the degradation may prove worse here at ground zero.  You are too important to the team, and i can collect these scans myself.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::fires weapons at the torpedoes::
Helmsman says:
CO:  Understood.  ::enters evasives::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: continues to hail the shuttles ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  I need to know if those shuttles have any weaknesses.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: Holds on ::

ACTION: The torpedoes impact the Claymore just as shields pop on.  The ship heaves sharply to starboard.  Consoles explode on the bridge and smoke fills the air.

SO_Love says:
::Grabs for her console and stumbles backward into someone.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: True...but you need to treat the other two men...and I won't be long.  I'm just going to retrieve the samples and return.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Return Fire, Sir?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Bring us about.  CTO:  Target their engines and weapons.  Fire!
SO_Love says:
::With an apology, they untangle themselves.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::fires a phaser burst and 4 photon torpedoes::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::uses a hypospray to inject adrenaline into the arm of the XO::  XO:  Well, commander.  That should at least keep you standing a bit longer.
SO_Love says:
::A helping hand pulls her back up and she returns to her console, waving away the smoke.::
Private says:
@::Drudges back to the XO's position::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::holds onto his chair arms::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shunts power to shields ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls up schematics of the Orion shuttles and sends the to the CO's chair ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: Thank you.  ::moves closer into the impact site..feels a slight dizziness but moves on ahead::
SO_Love says:
::Checks the damage report and switches sensors.::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::meets up with the two marines and immediately begins scanning for DNA degradation::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Continue to fire Lt. Blade.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::Entering near the center...sees something ahead...moves closer and closer...feels his head throbbing...the dizziness increasing...but continues to move::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::uses a continuous fire of phaser bursts and photon torpedoes::

ACTION: Claymore's weapons impact the shuttle, but it is more heavily shielded than suspected and it is able to veer away from the Claymore.

Private says:
@XO: Sir, reporting as ordered. ::Starts breathing harder and hunches over, using his rifle as a cane::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: swings the view screen around keeping the shuttle in sight ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir we could use a tachyon pulse to get them to rotate their shield harmonics by then we could fire and severely cripple them.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@*OPS*: I need a transporter lock on the XO, just in case.  Beam directly to sickbay if I give the word.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Proceed.  Helm:  Bring us back around for another pass.
Helmsman says:
    CO:  Initiated the pass, sir.
SO_Love says:
::Coughing, notes the smoke is being cleared by the environmental system.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::arms the tachyon pulse::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::prepares a quick fire for their weapons and engines::
Private says:
::Nods to the XO and heads to the CMO::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
::sits in fortified position, awaiting further orders, or some smugglers to detain::
SO_Love says:
CO:  The shuttle is using standard warp engines of an old Orion design.  Max warp... 7.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::fires the tachyon pulse then a split second afterward fires the weapons::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Is there any way we can exploit that?
SO_Love says:
::Looks over at the CTO, thinking a moment.::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@*MO Stevens*: Prepare isolation unit and research radiation treatment for DNA degradation. And make sure the containment field is stable in Cargo Bay 4.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
::double loads the torpedoes and fires::
Private says:
@: CMO: Doctor. ::Barely standing::
SO_Love says:
::Pulls up Orion engine designs.::  CO:  I will see what I can find.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looking at the ship designs::
SO_Love says:
::Looks up at the captain::  CO:  Sir, I don't see anything.  They may be old, but they are very efficient. .  Add to that, these are heavily shielded.

ACTION: Claymore's weapons again find their mark as the shuttle swings around again.  The shuttle's engines flair and go down.

Private says:
@::Nods, and collapses on the ground::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Their propulsion is down.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Then again... a lucky shot...
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches the power grid making adjustments ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  How much longer on their weapons?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and notifies some of the substance...and tries to collect it...but falls due to the over bearing dizziness::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Calculating now. ::is calculating::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@Private: Let's move you out of here.  Double-time it in the opposite direction, private.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*Sgt. Buddy*: Anything yet, sergeant?
SO_Love says:
CO:  Their engines are offline.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::runs to the XO, and tries to drag him to his feet::  XO: Come on, Commander.  Let's get out of here.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Sir, the weapons are gone too.
Private says:
@::Pops on his feet and grabs his rifle as a cane:: CMO: Sir, yes, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@CMO: Aye...   ::leans down and takes the sample::  ...Lets go.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: growls low in her throat at the disabled shuttle ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Lock onto the shuttle with a tractor beam.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::complies::
 Sgt Buddy says:
@TO: Nothing here, sir. ::Shakes his head::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries hailing the shuttle again ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Set course back to K'inbor II.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::assists the XO away from ground zero::
SO_Love says:
::Scans the ships energy signature, trying to cut through the block.::

ACTION: Three marines collapse on the planet.

CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@*TO*: Are you or any of your men experiencing dizzy spells?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::holds onto the CMO as they exit ground zero::
Helmsman says:
    CO:  Understood.  Setting course.
SO_Love says:
::Hearing a tapping, looks down at her fingers and stills the obvious sign she is worried and anxious to return to the planet.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Is the shuttles dampening field still in place?
SO_Love says:
CO:  Unfortunately yes.  I can't seem to break through it, at least not at the moment.
Sgt Buddy says:
@::Collapses::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*CMO*: Yes, Buddy and his men just collapsed, I am not feeling too dizzy.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
ALL:  Suggestions.  How do we get that dampening field down?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: focuses the communications array on K'inbor11 ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
CO: We could try a subspace disruption field.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Without boarding her?  Nothing comes to mind.  We could take her in tow though.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::sits down and looks up to the CMO::  CMO: Thank you...how are the others?
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::hurries on to the next ODN conduit and finds almost all of the relays blown::  Self : This is not going to be good either.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@*CMO*: Requesting immediate medical attention, all three of my men are down, they are not looking good.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@*Claymore*: We need to evacuate the planet.  I don't how long we have, but it's not much.  Eventually all life will cease to exist on K’inbor II.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  do you mean bring her aboard the Claymore?
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir for every 5 ODN relays I fix I find more than 10 more burnt out.  I am going to have to put more of my staff on the repairs to the ODN relays.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: The away team is trying to hail us, I am unable to decipher-r the signal, but I think we need to get back.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Ummm... No.  I can't help but wonder if it is a trap of some kind.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO* Understood.  Carry on.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to boost the gain to get a clear signal from the planet ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Son I need four more teams to come to my location and start the repairs to the ODN relays here.  I have got to get back to the manual checks of the rest of the engineering systems.
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@*TO*: Check their DNA structure.  If structural stability of their DNA sequence is below 65% , leave them.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*TO/CIV*: All parties come back to the beam in site...immediately...  ::falls over...grabbing his head...the pounding and throbbing, dizziness causing pain::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
Helm:  Maximum towing speed.  Engage.
Helmsman says:
CO: Understood Captain.  Engaging.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@*XO*: Aye.
Ens Spanner says:
 *CEO*: Yes ma'am sending Gamma, Zeta, Delta and Alpha teams to your location.
SO_Love says:
CO:  What if we beamed a probe aboard?  A couple of them so that they couldn't destroy them all at once.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Starts heading back::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Good idea.  Make the preparations and let me know when you are ready.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::head is spinning form all the mixed and strong emotions coming from the ship::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: prepares cargo bay four for incoming wounded, takes the transporters there to quantum, sets level 10 isolation field ::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  I need a couple of probes... strong relay, they don't need to go far.  We want to find out what is in that ship.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Self: Got to get to the Jeffery tube J94 and reset those relays and rewire the ODN lines for secondary power::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*SO*: Sure thing but just about how far do you want them to go??? Kneed to know for propulsion setting.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*SICKBAY*: Tr-rauma teams to Car-rgo bay four-r ::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  I am going to beam them into the shuttle.  Their shields are down.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Arrives back at the beam in point::
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@::as the marines manage to stumble to their feet, escorts them to the beam up site::
Sickbay says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.  Trauma team on the way.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*SO*: Understood.

ACTION: The Claymore is now within comm range of K'inbor II.

CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@<Sgt Buddy>::Stumbles with the TO::
SO_Love says:
*CEO*:  As many as you can give me please.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::lies twitching a bit on the ground...head pounding and thoughts fading to black::
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::Gives everyone a shot of adrenaline::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: We are in communications r-range, channel open.
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@::arrives at beam site with the marines::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO* Claymore to Away Team.  Please respond.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*SO*: I can get you like...........oh ......Like say 10 is enough??
SO_Love says:
::Looks over at the captain, glad they are back in range.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to get a lock on the AT::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CO*: I'm....here sir...we are all very sick and need....to be immediately evacuated.
SO_Love says:
::Lightly smiles::  *CEO*:  I think so.  And if we are lucky, a couple will land on some heads.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*SO*: Well I think I can arrange it if you like.  ::laughing::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood.  We are going to set up a bio-containment area in one of the cargo bays for you until we can filter everything out.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CO*: Understood...thank you...sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Begin to set up a containment area for the members of the away team.  Hurry.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@::grabs his head again...as the pain resumes::
SO_Love says:
::Frowns as she hears the first officer.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Car-rgo bay four-r is set Sir, ener-rgize?
CMO_Ens_Harod says:
@::hangs his head in frustration and disappointment, knowing he should have caught this earlier::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Holds himself up with his rifle::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  We will contact you once we are in range.  Begin making evacuation readiness.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Are we in range?
TO_Ens_Mahk`tar says:
@::hangs his head in frustration, was really hoping to catch some smugglers::
SO_Love says:
::Quietly::  *CEO*:  Let me know when you are ready.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO : Yes, I have a lock.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
@*CO*: Aye.   ALL:  Prepare for evacuation...the Captain will be in range soon...make sure we are all accounted for.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Yes...energize.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir, permission to come to the bridge.  I have big problems in the circuits beneath some of the consoles.
SO_Love says:
CO:  Captain, I would suggest we not beam them aboard.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*SO*: You have all of them at your disposal.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Belay that order.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Why?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Aye.
SO_Love says:
CO:  If they are affected we may be able to use their original DNA recorded from when they went down.
