A

<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::takes his seat and brings up an overview of the damaged systems and cringes::

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::standing at the tactical console shaking his head at the status of the ships weapons::

CSO_Ens_Ix ::looks up at her screen and the word, putting it on the viewscreen, overlaping the images of the creatures. She considering what to reply::

CMO_Ens_DuPont :: In sickbay still running tests on the goo::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: McKnight, how are we holding up on deck four?

XO_LtCmdr_Suder :: stands in the middle of the bridge, hands on hips, lips pursed:: CSO: How are you doing there, Ensign?

EO_Ltjg_McKnight *CEO* One moment sir, I'm getting a report from Jackson

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::taps his comm-badge:: *CMO*: Ensign DuPont, were there any casualties among the away team?

EO_Ltjg_McKnight ::moves to the pool table and enters a few commands::

CSO_Ens_Ix ::looks up:: XO: I am running the transmissions from the creatures through the translator so we get clearer meanings. I think that first word we translated, hendecachoron, is a reference to the 11 creatures that were detected so far.

CMO_Ens_DuPont *CTO* None that have reported to sickbay as yet Commander

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CEO: I need an update on repairs when you have it. I need to know what we can endure from these things.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister *CMO*: Thank you Ensign, keep me informed.

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: If we are able to transmit a simple message at a point soon. Perhaps you should consider ...::looks down in mid sentence as something lights up::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::brings up the Structural Integrity Field systems and checks the liquid helium coolant loops:: XO: Ma'am, we have managed to restore power to the secondary SIF generators but the main systems are still under repair, we have managed to bring the cooling units up another twelve percent. If you need to get crushed, we have one go. But I'd rather you didn't.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: One of which is now dead... OK. ::swallows in a dry throat and turns to the CTO:: CTO: The creature that we encountered underground. Is there any way you can think of to get it out of there, to free it?

CSO_Ens_Ix XO/All: They say  "Fragment. Oblivion."

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CEO: I'd rather we didn't, either, but good to know, thank you.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister XO: Well it's far too big to transport with our equipment, so short of excavating it I'm not sure of any other way.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto XO: Yes Ma'am. I am working on a way to use the shield emitters as a cattle prod. I will keep you informed.

CSO_Ens_Ix Self: Fragment of what? Forget what?

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Fragment, oblivion? ::scrunches up her nose:: CSO: Any idea what that might mean? They've lost one of their 11, as a result, what? none of them can exist? :: raises her eyebrows at the CSO to see her verdict::

CSO_Ens_Ix ::shakes her head:: XO: I can do little more than guess as well. I'll try scanning them to see if there have been any changes since the other one died.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::uses passive sensors to scan the creature's life signs::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Until we know better, I think that is a safe enough assumption. When you do manage to cobble together a decent translation matrix I want you to let them know we are no threat, somehow.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::taps at his console, using the full sensor array to get an idea of how the creature lays below the surface of the planet::

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: Their life signs are weakening slowly. All 9 that we can detect  at the exact same rate. Perhaps you are right. As a fragment they will disappear.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CTO: One dead, one trapped, 9 more mobile and very likely scared, upset and angry. We need to find a way to release the trapped one and... replace the dead one. :; steps over to the CTO so they can talk with a bit more privacy:: CTO: Why do I get the feeling we're going to have to become a surrogate squid?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: McKnight, see if you can squeeze a little more power out of the mains.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::works with the science team in the translation lab who have been training the algorithm:: XO: I believe the translator will not be able to properly translate their words.

EO_Ltjg_McKnight *CEO* Aye sir ::moves to the control panel by the warp core::

CSO_Ens_Ix All: They say "Survival stolen".

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::speaks quietly:: XO: I'm not sure how long even that would work, but I agree we need to get the other one free first... I have an idea...

XO_LtCmdr_Suder *CMO*: Doctor, I need you up here. We have 9, possibly 10 squid creatures whose life-signs are failing simultaneously.  I need to know what we can do to stop that.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: If we can drop a charge into the main shield emitter arrays, we can send a electric charge straight into that thing, if we have to.

CSO_Ens_Ix All: I wonder how they functioned as a unit. Sharing a mind? Or sharing more than that.

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Checks to see if thee are any more casualties coming into sickbay::*XO* I'm not sure what I can do Commander, we're still running tests on the sample we have. I really don't have anything to report yet

EO_Ltjg_McKnight *CEO* Aye sir, I'll try set up some sort of reserve power pool

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: Thanks, keep me informed.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder *CMO*: ::growls:: Let the EMH or some of your staff run the tests, Doctor. I need you up here. 

CSO_Ens_Ix ::looks down:: All: I can't figure out how they are communicating. Though surely they must be.

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: Should I send them the word "help"? Or would you like to send something more complex?

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CEO: Tony... how much can the transporters lift?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::brings up the schematics::

CMO_Ens_DuPont *XO* I'm on my way ::Activates the EMH:: EMH: Continue running tests

CO_Cmdr_Aan ::Taps his comm-badge as he exits his ready room.:: *XO*:  What's the situation Kesh?

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Heads towards the bridge::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Best keep it simple 'til we can be sure. Can you transmit "wish" and "help"?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CTO: If we utilize all the transporter systems....would require a lot of power consumption, I would say about 700 people per hour..and you want to know in one go?

XO_LtCmdr_Suder :: turns her attention back to the CTO:: CTO: Your idea? :: leaning on the back of his console::

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CEO: That's right... how much can the buffers hold?

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: There is no better way to test the translation matrix.

EO_Ltjg_McKnight *CEO* Sir Jackson's reported in, he's patched the holes per say but I wouldn't recommend letting one of 
those things using that area as a drum again

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: Sending ... ::sends the two words "wish", then "help" ::

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Arrives on the bridge:: XO: I'm here Commander!

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: I have faith in you. Transmit what you can.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: Good job.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CTO: Give me a minute Mac.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister XO: Well I have two... the first consists of sending a probe down the hole that the tentacle came through so we can get a clearer picture of how the creature lies down there with the hope of cutting it out...

CEO_Lt_Adalberto XO: Ma'am, I recommend we evacuate deck four just in case.

CO_Cmdr_Aan ::nods as he sights her. :: XO:  Didn’t mean to dump everything on you, let me get up to speed...

XO_LtCmdr_Suder :: turns on hearing the CMO enter:; CMO: Good! ::aims him at a free console:: The 9 free , and we assume the one trapped squid are all exhibiting failing life-signs We need to try and find some way to... bolster them 'til we can find a substitute 11th.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister XO: The second really depends on what our resident engineering genius can do with the transporters if he uses the tractor emitters.

CSO_Ens_Ix CTO/XO: If we attempt the first, we should make sure they know we are not attacking.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CSO: Agreed.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::nods to the CEO:: CEO: Do it.

CMO_Ens_DuPont XO: Bolster them? hmm ::looks down at the terminal::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::waves the CO over to listen to the CTO, too, giving him a chipper smile in the process::

CSO_Ens_Ix XO/CO: We have a new message "Lost. Where? Mutual Annihilation. Restore Hendecachoron:

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO:  What about moving the earth from above it and letting it make its own may off the surface?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::sends an alert to evacuate deck four::

EO_Ltjg_McKnight ::checks the report on the gel pack replacement and brings the emergency force field grid back to full strength::

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CO: I could loosen it with the phasers but again, we would need to assure the others that we are not attacking.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::is not quite happy with the word Annihilation there. A threat?::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder :: leaves the CTO and CO to discuss the digging and excuses herself to go talk to the CMO:: CMO: We also... well... ::pauses:: we need to find a way to reproduce, or at least fake an 11th squid. Any thoughts you may have on that would be welcome, too.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::crunches numbers as he studies the transporter buffers:: CTO: Mac, I can maybe, if I tie all systems together, hold a payload of 2 tons for....350 seconds. But we can't materialize it anywhere on the ship of course. This would completely drain our reserves.

CSO_Ens_Ix CO/XO: I can send them details about our Universe. Hopefully that answers the "where" part.

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::taps a few consoles:: Self: Hmm creatures from a different dimension, symbiotic relationship, hmm

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Transmit that we want to help, that we're trying to free the tenth, and trying to restore the Hendecachoron

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO; I think the "where" is a reference to one of their lost comrades on the planet. :: looks grim:: I don’t' think they'll be pleased when they find them.

CO_Cmdr_Aan XO: Were going to have to tell them, better we tell them than they find out on their own.

 ACTION: The creatures look visibly more agitated, moving their tentacles more.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CEO: Understood... what about using the transporters to de-materialise it and the tractor emitters to drag the mass out through the hole? Kind of like threading it through the eye of a needle.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::grimaces:: CO: Can't say I disagree, Captain. :: nods to the CSO to transmit the information on our universe, and the whereabouts of the missing squid creatures::

CSO_Ens_Ix CO/XO: Very well. I will ... ::looks down:: CO/XO: New message "Lost. Mitosis. Where?"

CMO_Ens_DuPont XO: Its possible that the creatures are dying due to the fact they cannot survive in our dimension?

CO_Cmdr_Aan XO: Not to pry, but I don’t suppose your getting anything from them telepathically?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CTO: Are you mad? The systems are noway refined enough for an operation of that magnitude.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::transmits "help", "free tenth", "restore Hendecachoron"::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::raises both eyebrows:: CSO: Mitosis?

CO_Cmdr_Aan CMO:  Anything's possible, but without being able to communicate better, were grasping at straws.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::Gives Tony a dead serious look:: CEO: Can it be done?

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: Asexual reproduction...one individual produces two.

CMO_Ens_DuPont XO: Perhaps but if we're able to return them to their own dimension, its possible they will be able to recover and regenerate?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::stands up and operates the second panel:: CTO: What about we use all transporter systems in tandem to displace the ground? There's plenty of space to move it. Would be messy down there, but...it's safer.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::looks over at the CO, with a lost expression:: CO: Not to state the obvious, but they're frustrated, afraid, and they feel.. :: takes a deep breath, not enjoying explaining this::... they feel victimised. They mean no harm.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Assuming they reproduce asexually, it may be possible they can heal themselves if we get the tenth off the planet.

CSO_Ens_Ix CO: That seems like a likely scenario.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Yes, yes, I know that. But why are they telling us that.

CO_Cmdr_Aan XO:  All right, were going to get the tenth of the surface, I want every possible scenario for getting it done.  ::Turns to the CSO:: Transmit to them that we are going to try to free their "other".

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: I don't read minds Commander. But I suppose they are telling us how the Hendecachoron can be fixed. Though it still puzzles me how they keep asking where.

ACTION: All creatures but one leave the vicinity of the Kraken and head for the surface of Zakdorn. The one remaining creature extends its tentacles around the ship and holds it, without crushing it at all.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::taps at his console to bring up a topographical map of the area where the tentacle penetrated:: 
CEO: That might work... see if you can make that hole a little bigger without damaging anything under it.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CTO: Yeah, agreed. ::looks to the XO for confirmation to proceed::

CSO_Ens_Ix CO: My previous message to them indicated we were trying to free the tenth. but I will rephrase it to be sure they understand.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Add the location of the tenth to that transmission, I thing their done waiting.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::bites her lip:: CMO: Doctor. The goo you have in the lab. Is there enough undamaged DNA to produce a clone?

CSO_Ens_Ix All :They keep repeating "Lost, where?"

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Send the location of the two on the surface.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto XO: Ma'am, I think I can use our transporter systems to create an escape hole for our little friend down there, but we need to get closer to the planet....

CMO_Ens_DuPont XO: Enough yes Commander there is enough

CSO_Ens_Ix ::nods to the CO:: CO: Maybe that is what they need to know indeed. ::sends the location of the 10th and 11th creatures to the others::

ACTION: The creature releases the Kraken and heads for Zakdorn - all creatures change their direction to head right for the coordinates.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::bites her finger:: CMO: How long would it take?

CSO_Ens_Ix Self: That was a quick reaction.

CSO_Ens_Ix CO: I think it worked. They seem to be heading for the other two.

CO_Cmdr_Aan ALL:  Lets just hope our attempts to communicate and help are enough to offset the Zakdorn killing one of them.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::glances at the CO, wondering if he wants the ship moved closer to the planet to help with the excavation::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: McKnight, I need to slave all of our cargo and personal transporter buffers together in one cycle. Can you get it done?

CO_Cmdr_Aan aFCO: Move us close enough to assist them with freeing the tenth, the CTO will give you the necessary distance

CMO_Ens_DuPont CMO: If size is an issue, it will take some time ::gestures to the screen:: I believe we can replicate a small one say about 1m in diameter in about 30 minutes?

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister XO: Commander! I see weapons fire on the surface, the Zakdorn are attacking again

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CEO: When we get close enough, begin transporting what you can to help free the tenth.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto XO: Yes ma'am!

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CMO: Do it. Get on it.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO:  Tell them to stand down!

CEO_Lt_Adalberto aFCO: I need to get within 15.000 kilometres for this to work.

EO_Ltjg_McKnight *CEO* I'll start on it right away, seeing as deck 4 is cleared, I'll transfer full transporter control to your console.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO:  inform them that they are attempting to free the one trapped below the surface, and that we are assisting.  Inform them that we have been speaking with them'

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::taps at his console:: *Zakdorn*: Zakdorn command this is the USS Kraken, you are firing upon non combatants, cease fire immediately.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto Self: For master tacticians, they sure are stupid. ::continues setting up the program::

EO_Ltjg_McKnight ::moves back to the pool table and begins up the transporter diagnostics::

CSO_Ens_Ix CTO/CO: If they choose not to listen, we may need to take more drastic measures.

ACTION: All creatures are now near the surface of Zakdorn and start pounding the ground, The force is enough to take whatever dampening field was there offline and the Kraken can now see the creature clearly on sensors. It is pregnant.

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Heads back down to sickbay::

CO_Cmdr_Aan CEO:  Unless their hiding something...

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CO: I have a narrow beam phaser that I use as a warning.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: Good, monitor the power consumption from down there, we need the buffers to hold large amounts of data for this to work!

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::didn't realise the Captain would hear him:: CO: Aye Cap.

CSO_Ens_Ix All: We have a visual on the underground creature now. ::puts what they have on screen:: All: It seems ... pregnant.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO:  no, I don’t want fire coming from us, they may interpret it wrong.  Focus on freeing the tenth...and eleventh creatures.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CEO: Just a shot in the dark, but can we modify the shields we have left to give any protection to the creatures on the ground?

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::checks his console:: CO: They're leaving... and by that I mean evacuating.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::turns to face Suder:: XO: Maybe one, two at most. But they would have to be right beside us. And we wouldn't have power for what we are planning.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::nods:: CTO: I am glad they have some brains.

ACTION: The creatures make progress and open a fissure in the ground. They use their tentacles to explore it, but they are too big to travel down, nor for the trapped creature to escape.

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Arrives in sickbay and takes a sample of the creature out of the stasis field::

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO: One should know when their beaten.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::steps over to CO:: CEO: Can we extend a shield between, say the Kraken, if we land, and some shuttle craft? Anything to increase the radius of the shield?

CO_Cmdr_Aan CEO:  Let's get some of that earth of of them.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::looks at the progress on the screen::

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CO: I'm starting to feel like we're going to have to protect the creatures from the zakdorn as well as everyone else.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CO: I'm trying, but the process is complicated. I am locking on now....

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Begins the cloning process with the sample of the creature::

CO_Cmdr_Aan CTO:  Inform the Zakdorn that were standing by if they need medical assistance.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::notices something on sensors:: All: The underground creature is not alone. It is in some sort of facility and ... there are two Zakdorn life signs next to it. What did they intend to do with it?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto *EO*: McKnight, I need more power to the confinement beam!

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::nods and contacts the Zakdorn again, relaying the CO's message::

CO_Cmdr_Aan ::Looks over to the XO.::  XO:  If we can get enough of the earth off of them, the others might be able to lift it out.  Then we just need to keep the Zakdorn from shooting them while the leave.

EO_Ltjg_McKnight ::searches for more power to syphon:: *CEO* Aye sir, more power on the way

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Noted. These people have a lot of explaining to do. :: folds her arms:: CO: makes you nostalgic for the days when we only had one of these creatures to worry about, doesn’t it? :: gives him a wry smile::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto XO: Ma'am, I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do for the family as a whole, maybe one..two at a time. Hold on...

CEO_Lt_Adalberto CO: Transporting!

CSO_Ens_Ix XO/CO: If they know how the creatures came to be in our Universe, maybe they also have a way of sending them back.

CO_Cmdr_Aan XO:  What about surrounding them with our support craft, shuttles and runabouts?  I don’t thing the Zakdorn will want to take the chance of hitting one of us.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::stands up, as his body refuses to sit still, while he operates the transporters::

XO_LtCmdr_Suder CSO: Assuming they'll co-operate. Can you keep track of those two life-signs? I think they're the ones we'll need a word with when we're done.

ACTION: The Engineering department's efforts work - the ground is displaced by the transport. The lights on the Kraken flicker and some of the transporter buffers overload.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  I'm not sure, but the way the others just appeared leads me to think moving to and from their subspace dimension might not be a problem.

CSO_Ens_Ix ::nods at the XO and starts tracking the Zakdornian life signs::

ACTION: Moments later, the trapped creature flies out and all creatures head towards space again.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto Self: No, no no! ::allocates power as a few buffers overload::

EO_Ltjg_McKnight ::reads the diagnostics and attempts to correct the overloads::

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister ::watches the lights flicker and taps at his console::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::let's out a whoop::

CSO_Ens_Ix ::glances at the flickering lights, then at the view-screen, which is tracking the creatures::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::looks around grinning:: All: That was awesome.

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister CTO: Good job Tony

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::smiles at the CEO's elation:: 

CMO_Ens_DuPont ::Frowns as the lights flicker at a critical DNA sequencing point::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::winks at Mac::

ACTION: Back in space, the creature that was trapped gives birth almost without pause and once again there are 11 creatures.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Send a message to the cluster, tell them we are sorry for what happened and ask if we can help them further.

CO_Cmdr_Aan ::Fights back a smirk at the elation on the bridge. ::

CSO_Ens_Ix CO :I will sir. But if I may speak freely, we mustn't forget they also killed.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder *CMO*: Doctor DuPont? the tenth has just given birth to an eleventh... please tell me you're not far into the cloning process?

CSO_Ens_Ix ::sends the message "apologize" "more help?"::

CMO_Ens_DuPont *XO* Our little power surge disrupted a key DNA sequence I was about to start again, but I guess I don't need to any more?

ACTION: The creatures gather in one area, their tentacles all interwoven.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder ::folds her arms and glances over at the CSO:: Would you have done less if your people were being held hostage?

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO:  Agreed, but I want to make sure they realize we aren’t their enemy.  If their anywhere near as intelligent as they seem, I'm sure they feel the same.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto ::sends a message for damage control teams to start repairing the overload damage for cargo transporters 2 and 5::

CSO_Ens_Ix ::looks at the XO for a moment:: XO: Probably not.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder *CMO*: Best not to, I think. :: smile broadens as she watches the view on the screen:: *CMO*: All is well.

CSO_Ens_Ix CO: I sent them the message. They haven't responded. ::looks at the view-screen and the dance going on there::

ACTION: The creatures create a portal for themselves and vanish back to their own reality.

CMO_Ens_DuPont: ::terminates the sequence:: *XO* Understood Commander, shutting down now!

CO_Cmdr_Aan CSO/XO:  We can place blame later, there’s more important things to deal with right now.

CO_Cmdr_Aan CEO:  From one extreme to the other, good job keeping us flying chief.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder: ::nods at the CO seriously:: CO: Agreed. CSO: Have you still got a track of those two life-signs?

CSO_Ens_Ix CO: Agreed. All: The creatures are no longer on sensors. They seem to have disappeared in the same manner as they came. I suppose they did not care to make a proper first contact.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto: ::smiles:: CO: Thanks Cap. Now...can we please get this girl back to space-dock?

CO_Cmdr_Aan ALL:  Well done, everyone.  Rough as things got, I think we can call this one a win.

CSO_Ens_Ix XO: Yes ma'am.

CO_Cmdr_Aan aFCO:  Helm, make for DS6.

CO_Cmdr_Aan XO:  hell of a shake-down....

CTO_Cmdr_MacAllister: CO: I don't know about you but I feel more shaken up than shaken down.

XO_LtCmdr_Suder: CO: Well, we're still in one piece. :: dusts some grit off the shoulder of her grubby uniform:: Just about. But I think there's hell to pay yet. Someone is responsible for all this.

CO_Cmdr_Aan::Turns to the CSO, his mood hardening.:: CSO:  Lock onto those two signatures on the surface and beam them up. CTO: send a security team to "escort" them to the briefing room.
