ARC 19 - Only the Good Die Young - Mission 10 - SD: 11704.18
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The crew continues to gather data on the Proca investigation and now the disappearance of Captain Hawk.  So far, both are leading to more questions than answers.
Host SMDrew says:
******************** Resume Mission ******************
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Standing outside the Jarrow, a curious look on her face, she glances up at the security officer:: TO2: Sorry about that.
Ian_Williams says:
@::standing in the science lab, eyes skimming this or that readout:: Computer: Computer, initiate standard level three analysis. Full system scan, quarantine level moderate.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Puts a hand to the side of his neck, feeling like the conversation aged him to nearly as old as the codger was::  CMO:  That was...interesting.  No problem, Sir.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  XO:  Commander Damrok.  ::Looks out into space from the wall of windows.::  How are repairs on the Claymore coming?  There may be an opportunity in the near future for another small trip deeper into the sector.
Ian_Williams says:
@::gets the computer's acknowledgement, then taps his badge:: *CO*: Captain, if you have a moment...
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
TO2: Needed an excuse for being in the shuttle, but I imagine my improvisational skills could use some work.  I'm going to check in with Commander Davis for a moment.  
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Taps her combadge:: *Williams*: Of course, Mr. Williams.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Computer> Ian:  Analysis complete.  Thirty percent of the data stored was collected and translated.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Stands from her chair and heads for the turbolift::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> CMO:  Aye, sir.  I'll...  ::Shoots a glance to make sure the old man isn't coming back, before moving back toward the shuttle::  I'll guard the Jarrow.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::holds his tricorder over the power conduit entering the port side of the impulse engine::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles:: TO2: Good, thank you.   ::Ducks into the Jarrow, looking for Davis::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Science lab  ::pulls a little on her jacket straightening it::
Ian_Williams says:
@::was about to inform her it could take a while, then pauses, nods as if the computer actually cares:: *CO*: The system's been fairly extensively damaged. I... *might*, with enough time, be able to convince it to give us more than we've got. But at this moment, roughly thirty percent of the shuttle's data is actually salvageable. I'll let you know precisely what salvageable means in a moment.
Ian_Williams says:
@::turns to a console while he speaks, taps at it to call up the data the computer had managed to rescue::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Not seeing Davis anywhere, instead she heads over to the console, and tries once more to bring up the computer::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::snaps his tricorder shut and tries to figure out where he is and what he is doing::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@*Williams*: Noted.  I am on my way to the lab.  ::the lift doors open as she steps out::
Ian_Williams says:
@::pages through the data index, an eyebrow raising ever so slightly:: *CO*: Then I won't need to call you down here. You're going to want to see this.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::having finished his dinner and departed the restaurant, he heads for his on-station quarters.::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::decides to head back to Claymore::
Ian_Williams says:
@Computer: Computer, isolate internal comm trafic and scan vocal patterns. Highlight areas that may indicate possible distress.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Hopes he's found some answers.  Rounds the corner::  *Williams*: I will be there shortly.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  Repairs are progressing.  ::Walks over toward the window as well, hands folded behind his back::  She looks a bit worse off than she actually is.  ::Tilts his head slightly, with interest::  You think there might be some more work for us, out here?  ::Feels a bit mercenary at this point, but it's the nature of their present status::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Steps inside the Jarrow and convenes with the other member of the security team that he'd left stationed inside, filling him in on the need to watch out for agitated elderly::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head and sighs a little, turning back to see Senezem nearby. She waits patiently for his finish::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::steps into the lift, directing it to get him as close to Claymore as it can::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Comes to a brief stop in front of the lab doors.  Then proceeds in, looking for Williams::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::pulls out the object they removed from the impulse engines, eyeing it briefly::
Ian_Williams says:
@::nods once as the computer finishes its isolation, then as the doors open, motions T'Shara to a corner console where he's been working::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Notices Williams and proceeds to the console where he is::  Williams: What do you have, Mr. Williams?
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::steps out of the operating room and slumps into a nearby chair, grabbing a PADD:: Computer: Apend to autopsy notes, subject was carrying a small object which remains unidentified. Object is going to be sent to engineering for further processing.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  XO:  Possibly.  I've been trying to set up a meeting between this station and a group of...  ::Pauses.::  I guess there isn’t an easy way to say it, but pirates.  They have left us alone in the past, but there are reports coming in that they are attacking our vessels from the station while on trade missions.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::steps into his quarters after a short turbolift ride and cues up a 'science fiction' video drama from 20th century Earth for amusement::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::exits the lift and makes his way towards the connector to Claymore::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  A low vibration shakes through the Claymore.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  A low vibration shakes through the Jarrow.
Ian_Williams says:
@CO: Quite probably more questions. I'll need to further analyze the navigation code that survived, but ̶  ::stops short at the sudden vibrations, and an eyebrow goes up::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::Looks around at the walls before standing up and going to check on operating room::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Bridge Computer> Warning, intruder detected in main engineering.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::arrives aboard just in time to feel the shaking or whatever it was::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Feels a vibration and stops::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@Williams: That is all we seem to have since arriving here, more and more questions.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pauses as she feels the vibration, glancing at her feet, then quickly back up:: TO2/All: Out. Everyone out of the Jarrow, NOW.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::enters the turbolift, a little bothered by the vibration, but figuring the best place for answers would be main engineering::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@Turbolift: Main engineering.
Ian_Williams says:
@CO: Seems I've been asking questions since that blasted cave, personally. But I suppose that's neither here nor there.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Winces at that and signals the other security officer out first before slipping out of the ship and signaling the rest of the security team to stand ready, just in case there's anything they can do about what's happening::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  That sounds like the sort of negotiation for which having an Akira-class heavy cruiser at your disposal might help to swing the balance.  ::Smiles::  For how long have these attacks been taking place?
Ian_Williams says:
@::briefly ponders suggesting the captain figure out if something just hit us, then decides... it's her ship::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Nods::  Williams: Aye, we all have been asking our share of questions.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  XO:  A few weeks now.  I don't need an all-out war in the sector.  I thought the accord I had with them would keep them happy.  ::Turns to Damrok.::  It seems I was wrong.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns slightly as well::  Britec:  If you don't mind my asking, what were the terms of your agreement?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Receives an urgent comm from the bridge::  Williams: There is an intruder in main engineering.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::casually walks out of the turbolift and into main engineering, still kind of studying the Cardassian object::
Ian_Williams says:
@::is about to answer T'Shara's first statement, then simply nods:: CO: Then we likely should not both be here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@Security: Send a team to main engineering.  Intruder alert.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Sitting in the Hangar bar with Crocket, listening to the buzz of the room.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Grabs her tricorder and follows the others out of the Jarrow, taking scans as she goes:: TO2: Any ideas what we might be dealing with here?
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec> XO:  Safe passage through their territories for moderate supply help and a monthly passage tax.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Nods::  Williams: Aye, keep me updated on your progress.   ::Heads out the lab doors for main engineering::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::hears the intruder alarm for the first time and looks around, wondering what the hell is going on::
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec> XO:  It wasn’t much, but it was fair to all involved.  I just think they are trying for more.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::immediately moves to the wall display, requesting a scan for life signs in and around Main Engineering::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<TO1_Lt_Kingston>  ::At her station on the bridge when the alarm goes off::  *MA*:  Kingston to Golarex.  I need an immediate response team to main engineering.  Intruder alert.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Hurries down the corridor for the nearest turbolift::  TL: Deck 15
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::he sets up a second scan for foreign objects in main engineering::
Ian_Williams says:
@Computer: Computer, erect a level ten forcefield around this location. Anti-intrusion directive. Acknowledge.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Computer>  CEO:  One life sign detected.  Ferengi, male current location unknown.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns around, but first secures the thing they pulled from the impulse engine of the alien craft::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Computer>  All locations:  Intruder alert detected in cargo bay one.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex> ::Whistles under his breath and motions his team with him as he sets off at a run before hitting combadge::  *TO1*:  Understood.  My team's on the way.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  Do you have any leverage in the event of this sort of violation of the agreement?
Ian_Williams says:
@::very briefly wishes he'd thought to grab a phaser, but scans the lab for possible defensive tools... juuuust in case... then stops as the second alarm sounds, lifting an eyebrow::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@Computer: Play a loud noise in main engineering that Ferengi can hear but humans cannot.
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  XO:  I have a small security team here and a handful of small ships.  However, I could call in the Breen or any number of station supporters if it ever came to that.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::checks back to the scan for foreign objects::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  High-pitched noises begin playing in main engineering.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  As you said, though...the more prudent thing to do might be to get them back to the table.  Do you have a plan for a new agreement?
Ian_Williams says:
@::decides to hang with it, moves to the engineering kit he had with him post-core-removal, pulls out a hyperspanner and tucks it away like one would any other weapon... then quickly checks that the throwing knives he had up each sleeve are still in place::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns, and begins moving around main engineering, looking for signs of a Ferengi::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Pauses for a moment at the entrance to main engineering, signaling some of his team to stand guard and then entering with the rest, phasers out and ready::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Claymore begins to vibrate at a much higher harmonic.  Stress levels start to register aboard the station on the docking arm.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and initiates a scan specifically for Ferengi life signs::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::continues to move quickly around main engineering, letting the tricorder scan, but also visually scanning each area::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Exits the lift as she hears the computer alert about cargo bay one now::  She heads down the corridor toward main engineering::  Computer: Check for lifesigns in cargo bay one.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Glances around, spotting Davis searching around and motioning silently to him before signaling his team to spread out and search as well::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Ferengi life signs detected on decks six, seven, nine, ten and twelve.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Lurches as a wave of extreme nausea hits him  ̶  he crumples a bit and falls against the window, sliding slowly but haphazardly toward the deck::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods to Golarex quickly but continues searching::
Ian_Williams says:
::pulls out a tricorder, sets it to scan for non-Claymore life signs, then heads for the door:: Computer: Computer, disengage forcefield. Reengage the moment I'm through. Acknowledge.
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::feels the vibrations and begins to start checking the other rooms in medbay with a tricorder and a drawn phaser::
Host SMDrew says:
<Britec>  XO:  Commmm...  ::His voice trails off into an echo.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Sets down his drink, looking at it questioningly. His head was beginning to spin, and his stomach felt like it was doing flips.::  Crocket:  What the hell is in this?  Thought it was alcohol free.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Entering main engineering, she stops:: Self: How can there be Ferengi lifesigns on so many decks....
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
::pauses slightly then leans forward and pauses the vid before moving swiftly to the replicator ordering something to settle his stomach and hoping that he doesn't vomit first.::
Host SMDrew says:
<Crocket>  CNS:  Foster, can yoooouuu hearrrr meee???   ::His voice trails off into an echo.::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Grimaces and slumps slightly forward on his station, glancing at Arellano and attempting to cover it up and regain his usual control::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::expands scan range on tricorder to the entire ship, patching in through the computer::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leans against the side of the Jarrow, despite its harmonics, pressing the back of her hand to her forehead as she starts to grow ill::
Ian_Williams says:
@::allows the door to open, drawing the spanner like a phaser and setting it to a higher sensitivity - he scans eyes through the door for just a moment, surveying::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::turns and sees T'Shara, and hears her question as well::  CO: Why? Where else are they?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@Computer: Run deck by deck scans.  How many Ferengi lifesigns are being detected?
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Ferengi detected on all decks of the USS Claymore.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::looks down::  CO: Oh.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Swallows hard, opening her tricorder to take readings:: TO2: I'm...not feeling well...
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Slumps to the deck, his head spinning, his eyes wide and feeling like they're about to be launched straight out of his skull::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: Is it possible they are not real life signs?
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::Turns his head toward Crocket and immediately regrets it as the world feels like it lurches around him.::  Crocket:  Huh?
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
Britec:  What...what is happening?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Computer> CO:  Three hundred seventy-five Ferengi life signs are aboard.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Looks to Davis::  CEO: That is what I am wondering.  But now it is saying we have them on all decks.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: I think I'm going to be ill.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Shakes his head and realizes what a bad decision that was, wobbling in place and trying to jab his combadge after he spots Raeyld having the same issue, but has issues hitting it::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Claymore begins to become transparent, fading in and out.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Raises an eyebrow::  Aloud: That can't be possible.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The Jarrow begins to fade in and out as the harmonics increase.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: No, you're right. Ferengi alone wouldn't make me ill.  ::pauses as he notices something...really not right::
Ian_Williams says:
@::steps through the door, praying to the universe the forcefield snaps in place, then... just stops, blinks:: Self: The hell...
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Commander Davis sees a brilliant white light coming from down the corridor.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::almost scared into dropping his tricorder by the light; he peers beyond T'Shara:: CO: Did you see that?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Commander Foster vanishes from the bar.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Begins to motion to his team, but halts in the middle of it, even his array of experience failing to figure out what to do when the ship around you seems to be...flickering out::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Captain T'Shara sees a bright light coming down the corridor.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::holds tricorder up and directs a scan towards the location of the light::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  TO2 and CMO vanish from the station, along with the Jarrow.
Ian_Williams says:
@::glances at his tricorder, notes there are Ferengi all over the place, so very carefully makes his way towards an access hatch::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Sees a bright light, pulls out her tricorder as well and begins scanning::  CEO: If you mean the light, then yes.  Perhaps our source of the vibrations and intruder?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Commander Damrok vanishes from the station.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::Frowns::  CO: No, that's not the source of the Ferengi intruders.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: Twenty lifesigns...all Cabowee
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::looks around for Golarex::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Turns to Davis::  CEO: Cabowee...
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::nods::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Kytides vanishes along with his other tactical officers.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: If we're going to do something, I suggest we do it...now.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CEO: We need to run now.
Ian_Williams says:
@::finding an access hatch, opens it, and starts to slide himself into the Jefferies tube... while he has absolutely no earthly idea what he could possibly do (his strength is ruining other people's days, after all), he figures if he can do anything, he can do it from the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CEO: We can't be in this open corridor with them coming.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Computer> Warning, hostile intruders detected.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::points towards the Jefferies access point on the other side of the room, away from the light, then moves in that direction::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::dropping the tricorder down in her hand T'Shara quickly turns in the direction Davis is pointing and open the access hatch::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::checks phaser settings for a high stun before moving towards Raeyld's office::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Moves in behind the others after spotting them on the move, phaser held exceedingly ready now as he and his team pull up the rear and wait for the others to get into the tube::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::presses the key command and exposes the access point and the ladder, waving over to Golarex now that he can see him again::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Damrok, Raeyld, Kytides, Foster and the security teams are phased into the Claymore , located next to the Jarrow on the flight deck.
Ian_Williams says:
@::has to pause, more than twice, to make sure he's actually taking hold of the next rung up before moving on... thus, three decks up takes a wee bit longer than it probably should::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Enters the Jefferies tube and begins to climb the ladder.::
Figure says:
::focuses the alarms and alerts yanking someone into the pain of reality it stumbles into the fading MSD console in main engineering. The figure presses buttons firmly as it fades with the shifting ship.::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Kendal phases into the Claymore in the torpedo sail.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Slips up after them, most of his jovial nature muted by now as he carefully manages the rungs with one hand still holding his phaser::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Claymore’s  warp core springs to life.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
@::Stumbles slightly, looking around::  Outloud:  What the hell?  ::Nauseated, but it was fading quickly.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Quickly looks around:: XO: Commander...if the Claymore’s about to vanish about us, I recommend we use the shuttles to beam us back to the station before we find ourselves spaced.
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@::Blinks, unslumping slowly and glancing to everyone else, and then down to the ship that can't decide if it wants to exist or not below their feet...decides to remain even more silent than usual::
Ian_Williams says:
@::reaches the bridge's access hatch, makes an attempt at getting the thing open and slipping out, improvised weapon first::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@CEO: What is our best option? Bridge, at this point?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@CO: Up. Maybe we can access the turbolift on deck thirteen or fourteen.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
@::Swallows hard and lifts himself up by his elbows, breathing heavily, dizzied by the whole experience::  CMO:  I was on the station.  Now I'm here.  It's likely no safer.
OPS_Lt_Kendal says:
@::sits up, then decides that is a bad call. He rolls over and vomits into the decking::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Continues climbing, stops near the next deck, and continues figuring deck thirteen might be safer, at least two decks between them.::  CEO: Agreed.  We will try deck thirteen.
CNS_LtCmdr_Foster says:
@::Spots the XO and CMO nearby and teeters over to them.:
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<TO2_Ens_Senezem>  ::Groans quietly in something between discomfort, confusion, and terror and puts his phaser up for now, moving over toward Kytides and waiting for a signal on what the heck's going on while trying not to worry about about Ela::
Figure says:
@::pauses and leans forward gripping the MSD it taps a button, and a familiar voice says:: *Shipwide* Brace for warp. ::taps the large red 'engage' button::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@XO: I don't know, seems like someone's trying to keep us here, and unless that's someone we trust ̶  ::Pauses, as she hears the alert over the comm, and freezes::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::Glances up to the ceiling at hearing the voice before strapping into a nearby chair::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
@::climbs quickly to follow, although can't help but feel a little disoriented as he does::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Looks back to Davis at the shipwide message::  Warp....  ::Grabs a hold of the ladder to brace herself::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
@::Hears an unfamiliar voice over the comm, and wonders briefly why we'd need to brace for warp before kind of folding into a crash position::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
@<MA_SCPO_Golarex>  ::Curses and puts his phaser up, not wanting to keep a hand on it badly enough to risk firing it or falling when they go to warp::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Claymore, still fading from normal space, time jumps to full warp.  Horrifying Cabowee screams echo through the ship as it tears their lock on the Claymore’s location.  Alarms blast through the Claymore as she fades from station sensors.  The crew awakens to a cold dark vessel.  The smell of old stale air fills their lungs.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  There, standing in main engineering, is one naked Ferengi.  Long thought to be dead in a transporter accident...
Host SMDrew says:
