ARC 15 - When the Saints Come - Mission 1 - 11406.03

Summary:  Only moments ago the Claymore was thrown from the nebula in a massive antimatter explosion from the USS Conqueror.  The Claymore now drifts in space.  Her hull blackened and damaged, large sections of hull no longer exist as brief flashes of force fields hold the crew in place.  Plasma streams out the port nacelle and puffs of black smoke purge out of shuttle bay one from the wreckage of the Jarrow.  Emergency power lighting glows from the Claymore's exterior windows and her navigation lighting fades on and off as power systems struggle to keep them lit.

********************** Begin ARC 15 - When the Saints Come ******************************

SCENE:  The Claymore drifts in space.  The Nebula in the background glows brilliantly as debris from the Conqueror ignite gasses within.  Then from out of the darkness a large metallic Tesserakt appears 200 meters in front of the Claymore.  It spins slowly and from the center most six faces a curved metallic blurry reflection of the Claymore can be seen.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Having checked to make sure Davis and the XO were alright, she quickly makes her way to the school room.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::On the deck--or, is he?--and trying to figure out what the hell just happened::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Having called out to the injured medics to get someone to the bridge, she unexpectedly grows dizzy, and passed out on the deck of sickbay::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Scans around himself quickly, though groggily as well, and sees Damrok nearby::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the doors to the lift open, she breaths, not realizing she was holding her breath.  Stepping out, she wishes she was a tele so she could locate her family.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Labors to his feet, then approaches Damrok, giving him a nudge::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Unplants his face from the helm console, gingerly touching his nose, hand coming away red.  Shakes his head slightly to clear the cobwebs, then tried to make sense of what his instruments are telling him.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Comes too slowly shaking his head, regretting it as soon as he does as the pain hits hard.  He wasn't sure where he was.::
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Scrapes against the nearest console, also trying to find her way to her feet after being boggled on the Bridge:;
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Stands and leans against the wall trying to gather her bearings amidst the chaos::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
::On the bridge under the operations station, moaning slightly::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Stares at the unconscious Damrok, not wanting to leave him here sprawled out on the deck, yet not particularly wanting to lug his ass all around the ship, either::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Leaves the dream world behind slowly, and returns regretfully to the world of pain, and regret.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Turns toward the CO::  CO:  Captain, it looks like the concussion wave threw us clear of the nebula and... ::In his turn to the Captain, sees the shape on the screen::  ...  and you've probably figured that out.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Coming to the doors, she stops and stares for a moment.  Then stepping forward, she starts to move debris so she can get into the room.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Decides it's best to move Damrok; he takes position behind his head, firmly grabbing the collar of his tunic and uniform and dragging him back the way they came towards the Turbolift::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Winces as she puts pressures on her damaged ribs but she knows, given the condition she saw things, everyone else would be busy.  She just needed to know her daughter and the other children were alright.::
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Slaps at the console somewhat angrily as she stands up::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pulls herself up into the chair from the decking.  Her hair falling across her face she takes her left hand and brushes it back behind her ear.  T'Shara looks up at the main viewscreen.::
XO Cmdr Damrok says:
::Lies, unmoving, his breathing shallow, but steady::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Continues pulling him, never truly realizing what a load the ship's executive officer actually was::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Pulls himself up and leans back against the wall sitting still trying to take stock of any injuries he had and where he was, his vision was still a bit blurry.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Reaches the Turbolift and touches the console, since the automatic door sensors don't seem to be working, or are selectively working::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Rolls over and pulls at his fingers and began to notice that his hand wasn't moving.  He opened his eyes and immediately regretted it.  The arm was really not supposed to be bent that way, the fingers were hooked into bits of the carpet.  His left arm was however still free, and so he reached up to tug the strands of carpeting free.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Aye, Mr. Hawk.
MO Ens Stevens says:
*Bridge*: Medical to bridge. Do you require medical assistance?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Curses under her breath as one of the twisted metals she was pulling on comes off, cutting her hand.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Watches as the doors half open, then are pushed the rest of the way by a familiar figure::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Crawls out from under the console clutching a bit of her uniform sleeve to her forehead, before turning to the operations console to see what condition it was in.::
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Pauses as he jams his way through the Turbolift::  CEO: Commander Davis...?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Tearing off a piece of her shirt, she wraps it around her hand and the wound and slips inside the small opening.  She can hear material tearing, but at least it did not cut her.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods::  TGS: Give me a hand, Gunny. I'm trying to deposit Commander Damrok somewhere where he won't be littered all about the corridors.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
OPS PO1 Cawney:  You alright, PO1?
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Sighs, not getting much of a response out of the console; she turns back towards the center of the Bridge::  CO: Is -anything- working...?

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Lets out an unmanly scream of pain as the fabric that had dug into the digits comes free caked in dry blood.  Only then did Fong look behind him at the gaping hole in the hull behind him.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks around the bridge.  *Medical*: Aye, Stevens OPS and possibly Mr. Hawk could use medical assistance.
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Quickly moves next to Davis and helps pull Damrok into the turbolift::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Manages to get the operations screen on then wraps the bit of her shirt around her head:: CAG: I'll be fine.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I have never encountered such a thing.  What do you make of it Mr. Hawk?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Nods at the PO, then turns back to the screen::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::As he waits for his vision to clear he carefully moves his arms and legs testing them, wincing as he moved his left arm.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
*CO*: Roger that, on my way.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Slides Damrok's leg in past the door, then tries to push the turbolift door closed, or as close as he can get it::  Turbolift: Bridge, or as close to it as you can get us.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps a button on the console on her chair::  *MO*: Acknowledged Stevens. T'Shara out
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Gives the CO a brief, but incredulous look.  How come CO's only ask for an opinion when they know you don't have a freaking clue?::  CO:  Not sure Captain...  taking a look at sensors....
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Coming to a stop, she looks around.  The room was a disaster with everything tossed around.  With a shake of her head, she makes her way toward the back of the room and using a special code, pulls up a panel.::
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Kneels down next to Damrok, checking his pulse::  CEO: He's breathing, and his heart is sort of beating. Can't tell you much more than that.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::looks up at the arm and winces to himself, before managing to get his feet under him and, using his left hand, wrench himself upward.  He could feel the shortness of breath and stabbing torso pain that meant he would be spending a good bit of time in a medical ward again, but for the time being he was upright.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMC: Comms are online, sensors appear to be online as well but only short range are working for the time being.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods as he leans back along the wall of the car::  TGS: That's all I need to hear for now.
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Nods confirmation of the CO's statement about the coms:: CO: We've got power levels fluctuating all over the ship.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Pulling up the inner cameras, she sees that the children are fine.  Quietly she checks in with the teacher and security officers to make sure they did not need anything, as well as to fill them in on the status of the ship as she saw it.::
TGS GySgt Oley says:
CEO: What are you doing back aboard, sir?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Hawk and nods::

CNS Lt Foster says:
::His vision finally clearing he carefully stands up, taking care with his left arm.::
CMC CPO Richards says:
CO: Great. Anything you want me to focus on, or get people organized for?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
OPS Cawney: Noted.  What's shield status?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Hesitates for a moment, half unsure of what to say, half unsure of whether he can or should say it::  TGS: It's complicated, Gunny. Let's just leave it at that for right now.
MO Ens Stevens says:
PO2: This, would you come with me to the bridge?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Walks unsteadily down the hall pressing the button to call the lift as he walked past.  He stopped at an emergency medical kit, and drew the kit from the wall. For a moment he considered, then he set it on the floor and opened it, he drew a vial from the kit, and slotted it into the hypo as the haze of pain washed over him.:
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::The turbolift doors interrupt and awkward silence; well, sort of, since they only half open again::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Moves down the corridor finally coming to an intersection, finally figuring out where he was.  He must have been on his way to his quarters when the claymore was tumbled.   Turning around he headed for the nearest lift, deciding to head to the temp sickbay.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Sensors show approximate size of 1200 square meters, readings show it's mass varying from zero to 75, 005,000 metric tons.  Not sure if the mass is really fluctuating or if sensors are bad.  Energy readings are fluctuating just a wildly from nothing to off the scale.  There are lifesigns, but they vary as well.  Sometimes 15, sometimes 100.
MT PO2 Thiss says:
MO: I'm currently occupied, Stevens. Sorry.
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Jumps in between the opening and pushes the doors open; he seems experienced with this, as if this wasn't the first time today he's had to do this to a turbolift::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::After a few minutes, she nods her heads informing them it was probably best to stay there, but she would contact them within the hour barring the unforeseen, to let them know.::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Frowns for a moment as she struggles around the large crack in the middle of the ops panel.:: CO: Shields are offline.  Armor is still showing intermittent power.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Sensors can't detect any subsystems onboard and seem to believe the mass is solid...  no internal space.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Grabs Damrok's collar again and drags him out carefully on to the deck of the Bridge::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
OPS Cawney: Understood.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*Bridge*: This is commander Senn.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Smile in relief at the sound of Senn's voice::
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Turns and sees Damrok being pulled out of the turbolift by Davis, of all people, with Oley just off to the side on the Bridge::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Presses the hypo against his leg and feels the wave of pain begin to clear.  He picks up the med kit and moves to the lift door.  It hisses halfway open and he sighs, but turns sideways and manages to squeeze through with the med kit.  He types in "Main Engineering" and waits.::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: That is a big difference in crewmen I would say Captain.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Nods and heads for the door:: PO2: It's alright, Thiss. I completely understand.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Reaches the lift and waits for an empty to arrive.::
CMC CPO Richards says:
CEO/TGS: Is he alright?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Shrugs:: CMC: I think so, but he needs some attention.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Yes, maam...  especially crewman that are living inside a supposedly solid object.  ::Hesitates::  Captain, this is just a wild guess...  but given the readings, I'm wondering if it may be a portal of some kind.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As she waits for a response, she carefully makes her way through and out of the school room.::

ACTION:  A bight metallic light runs though the Claymore.  All decks and all areas of the Claymore experience the light at the same time.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears something behind her and turns in her seat to see Davis dragging Damrok out of the turbolift.   Stands::  CEO: Medical is on their way up.  They can look at him when they get here.  Commander it is good to see you again.
CMC CPO Richards says:
*Stevens*: Richards to Stevens, we definitely need some help up here on the Bridge. Double time, please!
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*CSO*:  Bridge here...  good to hear your voice, sis.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Stops and blinks wondering if she hit her head harder then she thought.  Reaching up, she checks the bruise, but it is nothing much.  Continues.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: A portal....  ::Raises an eyebrow as she is still looking at Davis and Damrok::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Arrives at main engineering, stepping off the lift leaving a bloody smear on the wall where he had been leaning.  Fong looks around at the uncontrolled chaos.  For a long moment he just stares before handing the medical kit to the man kneeling next to someone near the lift and moved towards the pool table.:: Aloud: I need a status report.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Hears T'Shara's greeting, though it is obscured by the odd light::  CO: What was that...?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Starts to step onto a lift that finally arrives but stops as a light passes through the Claymore.:: Self:  What the hell?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Stops dead and looks around at the light:: *CMC*: Roger that Richards. I'm hurrying
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Urgently::  *CSO*  We could really use a science officer on the bridge right now.  Are you in any shape to get up here?
ACE Lt Blather says:
OPS: Warp core is offline, but stable. Power is active in parts, but fluctuating pretty wildly at times.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks up at the light and clears his throat:: *Bridge* Engineering here, we just had some kind of external light pass through the hull.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pauses as the light passes through the bridge.::  CEO: That is a good question Commander.  For which I unfortunately do not have an answer.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Making her way to the lift::  *CAG*:  Good to hear you are still alive.  I checked on the children, they are for the most part fine.  Do you know where Theron is and is the captain about?  Mainly I need to know where I can be of the most good.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: You saw it too? Thank God. I thought it was from fatigue. Are you alright?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*CSO*  Captain in on the bridge...  not sure about Theron.  We need you up here.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Drifts to the nearest console and tries to access sensors::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*Engineering*: Aye, we had the same on the bridge Lieutenant.
Unknown says:
::A Voice can be heard though out the Claymore.::   COMM: Claymore: We are the Orlosf.  Your vessel will fail within the next two hours.  We are here to render judgment.  How do you respond.   ::The voice stings the ears of the crew as if millions of voices were talking at once.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Glances up as Stevens approaches.::  MO:  Nope not just you.  I'm ok, dislocated my shoulder I think.  Can I help with anything?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Claps his hands to his ears, but can't help but wonder about "judgment"::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods at Blather:: ACE: Ok, Cut plasma flow to the port nacelle, we need to stop that leak. ::He covers his left ear and winces with pain at the voice::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Watches Davis move and then turns her attention back to the main viewer::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Out loud::  Seriously?  *CAG*:  I should be there shortly, but I am sorely tempted to claim my family and head off ship for a long vacation.
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Moves away even before nodding::  OPS: Aye, sir.  ::Circles around the table to the master systems display::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: I can put it back in and give you a shot for the pain. I'm headed for the bridge. Did you hear that voice too? Or was it voices. It hurt
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*CSO*:  We don't figure out this thing in front of us, might not be a ship for you to head off of.  Move it!  Hawk out.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Steps off the lift and looks around.  She could not say the bridge was in the best of shape, but it seemed to be functional.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Nods.:: MO:  I heard it too.  And if you can put it back that would be great.  Need help on the bridge or shall I head to sickbay?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::winces at the voice and its after effects::
 ACE Lt Blather says:
::Accesses the plasma transfer conduits first via the master systems display, checking their status first::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Honestly didn't hear any of the words and puts the voice out of his mind as something for someone of a higher pay grade to deal with:: ACE Blather: Damage control teams are to prioritize power distribution, and life support systems.  ::Leans over the table, and starts pointing out particular red nodes:: ACE: Here, here and here.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Places both of her hands to her ears from the voices::

ACE Lt Blather says:
::Turns as Fong gives out directions, watching the areas he's highlighting for damage control::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Commander...  I've done my best, but put that science brain of yours to work.  ::Points at the screen::  What is that?
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: I could use you on the bridge. I'm not 100%, just had my arm reset not 15 minutes ago. Jennings seems to have things taken care of in medbay. ::Quickly gives Foster a quick shot of painkillers::
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Looks at Secord:: EO: Can you scrounge up teams? I'm not even sure who the hell is still here and conscious at this point.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Her eyes light on Davis and then Damrok::  What the... ::Starts to move towards him but sees he has already been taken care of.::  CAG:  If we leave now, I have a ship waiting.  ::Makes her way to science::  Fill me in?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits down in her chair, taking her hands down::  COMM: Tesserakt: Judgment?  For what are we being judged?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Pulls up the sensor data, seeing she only has short range, but that is all she needs at the moment.::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Turns to T'Shara::  CO: The voice is originating from that...thing.  ::Gestures to the screen::  The computer doesn't seem to know how to filter it out, or anything else about it, really.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: Hold still. ::Quickly relocates Foster's shoulder:: CNS: What do you think about this 'judgment' thing?
EO Ens Secord says:
::Nods::  ACE: Let me see who I can find. ::Double-checks the display Fong was referencing, making sure he has the areas committed to memory::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Only stable reading I can get is size.  Mass, life signs, power all seem to fluctuate like crazy.  It reads as solid, but appears to have life signs onboard.  Oh...  and apparently they've determined we're going to blow up in a couple of hours and they're here to render judgment.  So take your time, sis.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over at Davis and nods::  CEO: More questions which we had better find answers now.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Winces, cursing softly as the shoulder is popped back into place.::  MO:  I'm hoping we will find out more once we get to the bridge.
EO Ens Secord says:
::Disappears deeper into Engineering, looking for Durmstange, or any of the other officers::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  I am reading pretty much you are.  It seems to be in constant flux, which makes me think it is not fully in this dimension.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Weakly smiles:: CNS: Shall we go or do you need another shot?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Gets a general scan of the area around the cube.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the EO for a moment wondering how he hadn't seen the man in so long::  EO/ACE: I'll pull from Operations for these two. We've got enough cross-trained crew. ::Taps his chest:: *OPS Kendal*: Get Butler and Bell I've got two blown power conduits in exposed sections.  Suit up and get them repaired.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods, returning to the console to see if the sensors have yielded any additional information about the Tesseract::

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Yeah... that was my thought as well.  Was thinking it was some kind of portal, until it shot a beam of light through us and started talking to us.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO/CAG/CEO: Aye, Mr. Hawk thought it to be some kind of portal.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Beam of light?  Then that was not my poor heads imagining?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Moves the arm carefully, it still hurting somewhat but manageable.:: MO:  I'll be ok, let’s get up there.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Not this time, strangely enough.
ACE Lt Blather says:
OPS: Got it. Let me take care of the plasma flow and then I'll join a team.
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Sighs slightly and nods:: *OPS*: Bell is helping out in medical, Butler and I can manage it.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Turns and quickly heads for the bridge:: CNS: Turbolift or stairs?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the board:: ACE: We've also got a breach on deck seventeen that isn't showing up here. ::points at a dark area of the ship's display:: ACE: So be careful.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Something coming to her mind she looks at her brother::  CAG:  Have you been practicing Bajoran?  Because that is what I heard.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Shakes his head, as the console's scan isn't giving much concrete information; he moves away while it finishes its latest run to listen in on the Bridge conversation::
CNS Lt Foster says:
MO:  Turbolift, hopefully it will be quicker that way.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CSO:  Really?  Have we met?
OPS Lt Fong says:
*aOPS* Understood.  Take a third if you can find one.
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Nods, then turns back to the master systems display to try and kill the plasma flow; while Fong has been issuing orders, the console completed its Level 5 diagnostic of the plasma regulation systems, which appear to be working::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Glares at her brother::  CAG:  Did you hear the message in another language?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Nods and steps into the turbolift, holding the door for Foster:: TL: Bridge
Unknown says:
::A Voice can be heard though out the Claymore.::   COMM: Claymore: Your vessel will be destroyed and all aboard will be lost.  You will be judged to determine if your vessel is worth saving from this fate.  Should you fail all memories of this event will be erased and your vessel will be destroyed as our records show.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Looks at Oley::  TGS: Gunny, divide your men out. Send some to Sickbay, or whatever is passing for medical services right now, and send other to Engineering. See what assistance they need, as I'm sure they need some help.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks up and around::  Destroyed?  The ship was destroyed?  Before or after I came aboard?
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: That voice is starting to get to me. 'Judgment' isn't high on my list of things I want to have done today. Rest was a little higher personally
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Nods, not wanting to sit here and have his brain destroyed by this voice::  CEO: We're already out deck by deck looking for casualties and danger areas. I'll retask the men right now.
TGS GySgt Oley says:
::Turns back towards the turbolift to depart the Bridge::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks puzzled at his sister::  CSO:  I heard it in English.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Steps quickly into the lift and waits with Stevens as it slowly makes its way to the bridge.::  MO:  Considering what we've just been through I was looking forward to some downtime too maybe finally make that appointment for us to catch up.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Now that you say that, it's odd.  Not Standard...  English.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Tries to cover both ears, failing to do so as his knees buckle as the numbed right arm sends shooting bolts of pain up along his collar bone.  He can hear the words in the bones of his ears:: Aloud: Honestly is that necessary?!
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  That was what I thought.  We are hearing it speak in our own language,   But seriously, was the ship destroyed before we came aboard and if so, do you know how?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Circles around towards T'Shara::  CO: What do you think?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her ears in pain once again as the voice speaks.::  COMM: Tesserakt: Destroyed...  Why was our vessel destroyed?  Can you tell me what we have done.  Also, can you tell me who you are?
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: Right...that.... Did you hear the latest development in my cruise for a court martial?
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Attempts to shut down the port plasma transfer conduit::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::For his ears alone as the captain continues to talk to whomever.::  CAG:  I can get about an 8 second lock on them.  Whether we can beam something aboard or off, is questionable, but possible.  I do not recognize the energy source, but I can tell you the output is about ten times that of a starbase.  We would not have much of a chance.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Stands slowly:: *Bridge* Hey could you guys maybe get whoever is screaming about destroying the ship to shut up?
CNS Lt Foster says:
MO:  Latest development?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Also, no shields.
Unknown says:
::A Voice can be heard though out the Claymore.::   COMM: Claymore: We are the Orlosf.  We are here to judge the USS Claymore to see if the vessel and her crew are worthy of saving.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Wryly:: *OPS*: Bridge... we do not have control of this.  However, I could try beaming you over as I need a test subject to see if it is possible.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: I got into a scrap with Commander Jennings. Ripped an instrument out of his hands, growled at him and everything. It was..... It wasn't good.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Quietly::  CSO:  These guys don't strike me as someone we go to battle with.  If they are talking about judgment, the insinuation is they are capable of judging us.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Starts to look at the board again only to be assaulted by the screaming voices again. Weakly:: *CSO*: Transporter systems are offline.  Sorry to ruin your fun.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  But why... and what about this being already destroyed.  If we are destroyed, why bother with judging us and trying to save us unless there is a reason.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  They didn't say we're already destroyed.  They said the ship would fail in two hours.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Wonders if Hawk and Senn have lost their marbles, but he already figured the answer out to that question a few years ago before leaving; turns back to T'Shara::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Mumbles under her breath as she begins to regain consciousness, tender bruises exacerbated by the lay upon the deck...:: ...no...don't...!  ::Coughs suddenly, as she fully regains consciousness and practically flies to a sitting-up position, despite whatever injuries::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  No, they said:  Should you fail all memories of this event will be erased and your vessel will be destroyed as our records show.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Their records show that we were destroyed.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow yes we have determined that much.  Notices Davis standing closer.::  CEO: I don't know what to think at this point.  Why are we going to be destroyed?  And who are they to judge us?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Glances over at Stevens.::  MO:  I'm assuming this was after you were injured, were in pain?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  Captain, it sounds like the ship was already destroyed.  They are offering to save us... if we are worthy.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Swallows in some air rapidly and grasps frantically at the biobed, drawing herself up to her feet, continuing to swallow painfully, her eyes quickly taking in the auxbay::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CSO:  Yeah...  hadn't caught that....  two thoughts come to mind...  this thing travels through time as well as dimension, or in whatever other dimensions it's in, we've been destroyed.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
CO: Can we find out how we will be judged, or what we can do to prepare or to influence this process?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Has the computer going through the records to discover when the ship was supposedly destroyed.::

ACTION:  A bright light fills the bridge.  AS the light fades Q is sitting in the Center Chair.

MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: Yes, he was in the process of setting my broken arm. I was in an almost shock state. Well, until he mentioned dermal regeneration. That's when I attacked him.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pushes herself across the room toward the nearest medic:: Which doctor is on the bridge? Which is in sickbay?
Q says:
Outloud:  Greetings one and all.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Outloud::  Oh, shoot.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Groans::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Swallows the pain and looks around:: *Sickbay*: We have several casualties in main engineering.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sighs as she sits back in her chair and looks at Q::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Momentarily disoriented, he sees someone totally unfamiliar sitting in the center chair::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Narrows her eyes as she gets the call over the comm, a slight growl to her voice:: *OPS*: Noted. Sending someone. What about the bridge?
Q says:
::Kisses the Captain then stands.::
OPS PO1 Cawney says:
<OPS PO1 Cawney> ::looks at the new arrival and sighs faintly then turns back to the station::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Raises an eyebrow, but for the moment just waits.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Nods his understanding.:: MO:  I doubt that will get you a court martial, you were in pain and not thinking straight.  ::Cuts off as the lift reaches the bridge and he looks out onto the bridge seeing Q.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Points at Jennings:: Jennings: Get to engineering, stat!  ::Scowling, as she mutters something beneath her breath, limping for her own kit near the door::
Q says:
All:  I'm not sure I like what you have done with your cute little ship.
Q says:
::Looks around a bit as he walks to the main viewscreen.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Pulls himself back to his feet:: *CMO* I don't know. but whoever you send down send them with some ear plugs
MT PO2 Thiss says:
CMO: Ensign Stevens was headed to the bridge, doctor.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Remembering last time, decides not to annoy the Q and keeps his mouth shut....  barely...  for now....  with great effort....::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Blinks:: *OPS*: Um..noted. I'll bring some right away.      Thisss: How long ago?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Somewhat bemused by this situation, he's also not sure what to say::
MT PO2 Thiss says:
CMO: Five minutes, maybe ten.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands quickly and looks at Q, wiping her mouth::  Q: Sorry you disapprove Q.   Why are you here?
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Checks away from the wall display and looks back to Fong::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*OPS*: Q came aboard.  And the nice thing about some small ships, is they have transporters too.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Lies unconscious, his breathing somewhat shallow, but steady::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CNS: Thanks. I'm sure that you and I will still talk about it in detail following this.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slings her kit over her shoulder, cringing slightly as she does:: Thiss: How long since the ship fell?
Q says:
Outloud:  The Orlosf have no claim on this dimension!  The Q have warned them in the past not to enter our space.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Taps a note to her brother::  CAG:  No record of events to suggest the Claymore was destroyed.  So I am clueless to their meaning.
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Kneels down next to Damrok and gives him a nudge::
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Lying unconscious quietly in the back of the bridge, where she fell behind her seat when the ship tumbled::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Glances over at Senn with a quick nod of agreement::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
Q: So why don't you do what you do and smite them?
CNS Lt Foster says:
MO:  Definitely.  ::Steps out onto the bridge keeping a watch on Q.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Doesn't seem to move::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns to check the data base for Orlosf.::
CMC CPO Richards says:
::Motions towards Foster and Stevens::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over at Davis.  Can see nothing has changed since he left.::  Q: They seem to think otherwise by their communications.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
<ACE Lt Blather>  OPS: The plasma leak has stopped, but we'll have to get into the nacelle and give it a close look to see where the leak is exactly.
Orlosf says:
COMM: Claymore: We have every right to enter this dimension.  The Q Continuum have no say as to our exploration.  This dimension is young and the time is not right for us to be here,  but our records show that the Claymore has limited time here and may be worthy of our assistance.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Follows Foster onto the bridge looking for wounded and hurrying over to Damrok:: XO: Commander, can you hear me?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Thiss: Noted. Assist with engineering as needed. ::Reaches into a drawer, swiping a small handful of something out of it:: I'm headed to the bridge.  ::Heads out into the corridor and to the nearest turbolift, slapping the control for the bridge, not trusting herself to speak in her current state of mind::
Q says:
Outloud: If they are too be saved it will be by the Q and not some dimensional being.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CAG:  That answers that question.  I really hope we are not going to deal with time travel as well.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods slightly and seems to sag:: ACE: Good. We’ll worry about that after we deal with the...::Collapses again covering his ear::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Places his hands on his hips, feeling all the more confused::  CO: They are arguing about...saving us?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Groans and slowly recoils into a more curled up position, raising his hands toward his head, then falls silent again::
ACE Lt Blather says:
::Nearly ruins his underwear jumping towards Fong::  OPS: Are you alright, Lieutenant?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CEO: So it would seem.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TL: Medical priority.   ::Grits her teeth and pulls her tricorder out of her bag. Does a quick scan of herself, then taps a hypospray to her neck, just in time for the doors to open::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Quietly::  CSO:  Agree...  time travel is very annoying.  How cute to watch these super beings fight over who gets to save us.  ::Grins slightly::
Orlosf says:
COMM: Claymore: The Q do not render aid to anyone unless it serves the Q's folly to do so.  The Q are not of the same fabric as the Orlosf.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Shakes his head turning away from Q could worry about that later, seeing Stevens move to the XO he spots Tevis at the back of the bridge and moves over to her.::
ACE Lt Blather says:
::He cringes again as he does this, now feeling an intense headache::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
Q: What have we done that we need saving from and what can we do to prevent it?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Hearing Damrok, she stands and makes her way to him, crouching down.::  XO:  You lied.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CEO: I thought the Q only kept us around for their amusement.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Shrugs::  CO: It wouldn't surprise me.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and does a quick scan over Tevis::  MO:  Ensign can you hear me?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Overhearing:: CO:  The Q want us to think they only keep us around for amusement...  who knows why they really do.
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Continues to lie unconscious::
Q says:
::Looks from the screen to the Captain and waves his hands in a matter of fact way.::  CO:  Oh nothing Captain.  In less than two hours the Claymore will be destroyed by an internal matter / antimatter explosion.  Your entire crew will be lost.  There will be a grand funeral service on Earth for the entire crew.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Looking over the tricorder he pulls out his medkit.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks up at Theron.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
XO: This is Stevens from Medical. If can hear me, I'm here to help. ::Quickly fishes out her hypospray and gives Damrok a sedative:: CSO: Who is that?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
Q: An explosion caused by what exactly?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Grits her teeth once more as she sees Stevens and Foster heading toward their respective patients, but quickly skims the bridge, looking for anyone else injured...sees everyone is at least being tended to, realizes her mistake in her disorientation, and quickly disappears back into the turbolift, without paying a bit of attention to Q or the whoever’s::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Lies still, again unresponsive::
Q says:
::Turns to Davis.::  CEO:  You look familiar....   Didn't you wear red last time?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her ears were burning from the voices, there were to many.  She had to try and isolate the voices.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
Realizing interactions between the Q, some dimensional whatever and the Captain don't include CAGs, moves over to see how Tevis is doing::  CNS:  How is she Theron?
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
Q: How about you answer my question first?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks over to the screen and then over to Q.::  It would appear those are the orlosf from a different dimension whom the Q do not want here, but they say the Q has no jurisdiction over them.  They want to deem if we are worth saving in some future event.  ::Points:: that is Q.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO:  He tends to show up every now and then.  I think he has a crush on the captain.
Q says:
::Shrugs.::  CEO:  The Claymore explodes due to a failure on board.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Considers::  MO:  Maybe the doc too.

Q says:
CEO:  I mean look at the state of your ship.   ::Looks around.::  Let’s get some engineering done here.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads into main engineering, moving as quickly as she can::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
::Can't argue with Q's assessment::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Blinks at Senn as if she were speaking a different language:: CSO: Alright. ::Starts scanning Damrok::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
Q: Can we do anything to fix the problem before it happens?
Orlosf says:
::A Voice can be heard though out the Claymore.::   COMM: Claymore: The Q will leave the Claymore or the Q will be judged.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Without warning, again slowly adjusts his position, rolling to his stomach and shielding his eyes, trying to fight off a powerful wave of nausea::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO:  One might say the best thing to do is just ignore him, like you would a spoiled child.  But that is kind of hard when the spoiled child is very powerful.  ::Looks down::  Will he be alright?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
MO:  He was tossed around pretty badly.  Earlier he said he was fine... obviously not.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Glances up and spots Senn giving her a small quick smile, before turning back to Tevis, taking a hypo from his bag and giving her something for the pain.::
Q says:
CO:  I tried Captain....   ::Begins to snap his fingers.::   Captain  did the claymore get destroyed because the crew did something?  Or nothing at all?   Therein lies the problem.   ::Snaps his fingers.::

ACTION:  With a bright light Q vanishes from the bridge and off the Claymore.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Strides into engineering and takes a quick look around for any injured::
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
CO: Marvelous.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Could really use a hug about now, but the bridge was not the place, so she just returned Theron's smile as she looked back to Damrok::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CEO: Well that was helpful as always.
CEO Cmdr Davis says:
CO: Either way, we can't play mind games with these things. If we don't fix the ship, we just sit here anyway, which could be the problem.
Orlosf says:
COM: Claymore:  The Claymore has 1 hour to accept judgment.
CNS Lt Foster says:
CAG:  She will be ok, has a concussion and some head trauma, but nothing too serious.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CEO: Aye that's why I have everyone doing what they can to repair the ship.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sighs::  MO:  He also likes the theatrics.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Stubbornly crawls to his feet again his face smeared with blood and soot, his arm clearly broken in several places, the fingers a bloody mess. His uniform torn and his eyes watering from pain::
