Last time on the Scimitar:

The crew upon trying to use the transporters in order to beam Cyrano Jones Junior out of the Tribble, instead caused a horrific accident. Somehow, against all the odds, in a one to a trillion shot, the transporter ended up mixing MacAllisters and York's DNA with that of the giant Tribble. The result: A lot of squeaking on the bridge, and new born tribbles being stepped on.

On top of all that, the giant tribble has made verbal contact with the crew.

Yes, this actually happened.... truly

Captain's log, Stardate 10901.19: SQUEAK!!! Squeak squeak squeak? Squeak SQUEAK squeak squeak!

Acting Captain's log, Stardate 10901.19 - I have prepared my holo-camera for today's events. I can never let the Captain forget the time he was a squeaking Tribble...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::sat in his chair, the old relic, as he prefers it more than the centre one::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::lying in sickbay wondering how the CSO managed to do this to him while he was in his ready room::

CSO Lt York says:
::sits on a biobed, trying to come up with a way to destroy all Tribble DNA onboard::

CSO Lt York says:
::glares over at the Captain...::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::looks across to York:: CSO: Squeak squeak? (Found anything?)

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
SO: Ensign Tallis, do you think the Captain would mind if we left him as a Tribble?

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::On Bridge, the round thing at the top of the ship.::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::walks into main Sickbay from the bathroom and looks over the poor men in the biobeds::

SO Tallis says:
XO: I do believe he would mind, sir.

CSO Lt York says:
CO: SQUEAK! ::makes a hand gesture and a noise::

ACTION: The OPS console picks up a faint communication coming from the large tribble.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: We are receiving a tribblecation, Sir.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::looking at the viewscreen at the gigantic, humungous Tribble and wondering what to do:: OPS: A Tribblecation? Put it on.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::stands up::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::makes a series of squeaking noises and hand gestures in response to the CSO::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::Taps.:: XO: On screen, Sir.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::shakes her head:: CO/CSO: I wish I could speak tribble... but tribbles don't have mouths or vocal cords apparently...

CSO Lt York says:
CNS: Squeaky? ::makes a sad face::

ACTION: The view screen comes to life, the image is garbled and the audio is breaking up... the only understandable words are 'Cyrano' and 'Help'

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::Tapping at console again.:: I am attempting to clear the signal with a Fuerian algorithm.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::throws a baby tribble at York and gestures for him to keep working::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: The Tribble said...that? Try and open a channel to the shuttle.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::tries not to cry again:: CSO: And I'm not a scientist so I have no idea how to reverse this! 

CSO Lt York says:
::hugs her::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Taps.:: Channel opened and secured.

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Hello? He-o... is th-s on?

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::Looks up.:: XO: We are being hailed, Sir... Cyrano Jones...

SO Tallis says:
::finally gets to see the genius/madman up close::

ACTION: Another baby tribble appears at the CSO's feet.

CSO Lt York says:
::getting restless and grabs a medical tricorder and starts scanning himself, posting the results up on a medical console::

CSO Lt York says:
::looks down and kicks it away::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::throws another Tribble at the CSO::

ACTION: The Tribble hits the CSO on the head and clings for dear life.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::giggles as she sees the baby tribble on Will's head, looking so very cute:: 

CSO Lt York says:
::gets hit in the face by a fur-ball and growls angrily at the Captain, then returns his attention to the medical scans.....thinking he can fix this before this incompetent doctor::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: On screen already.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: So what will you say if our daughter wants a tribble for a pet? 

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: It already is, Sir. ::Points.::

CSO Lt York says:
CNS: SQUEAK!

CSO Lt York says:
::growls annoyingly while reaching for a hypo to draw blood from himself::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: So I'll tell her the story of how you became a tribble... she'll love that. ::grins::

ACTION: Cyrano squints and stares at the screen, he looks fairly thin and a litte crazy looking. Behind him is a messy shuttle with food and paper scattered around the place.

CSO Lt York says:
::manages a smile and pats her hand::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::squeaks with laughter::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CO: You're also cute, Captain. As crusty as you are as a tribble... ::smirks::

ACTION: The CSO's efforts to investigate his condition starts powering up the Dermal regenerator on a nearby bed.

CSO Lt York says:
::draws blood from his arm and pushes a nurse out of the way as he tries getting to the research station::

ACTION: Another tribble appears on the CSO's shoulder and watches intently at the CSO's work.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::Starts scans on Jones’ shuttle.::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Cyrano: Hey! Do you know what kind of trouble you are in? I have a thought to leave you in there.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::finally stops laughing and lets his mind wander::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Trouble! Yes, yes, lots of trouble indeed... this this... wondrous specimen has EATEN ME!

CSO Lt York says:
::puts the vial of blood into the centrifuge and closes lid, powering up the small device::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: I am detecting multiple hull fractures on his vessel. 7 minor, at the most, but they are in close proximity to the Star Drive section.

CSO Lt York says:
::motions for the Captain to come over, raising a hypo::

CSO Lt York says:
CO: Squeak.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::pops out another tribble and turns to the CSO:: CSO: Squeak?

CSO Lt York says:
CO: Squeak.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Squeak squeak.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Wondrous? I'm this ::holds his fingers apart:: close to blowing it out of space with you in it.

CSO Lt York says:
::grunts and walks closer and pushes the hypo angrily into the Captain's arm and draws a blood sample::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Wait! Blowing it up! No, no no no... This thing is a work of art!

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Squeeeak.

CSO Lt York says:
::thinks 'baby'::

CSO Lt York says:
::takes the vial out of the hypo and takes it over to the molecular scanner::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: There isn't a gallery in the whole universe big enough to exhibit it. Now if you don't give me an alternative...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: What are you rambling on about?

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: We can... can induce vomiting, yes... yes... that is what I did with that probe thingy... Did you get it?

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Exactly what I said, Sir. Hull fractures. They don't appear to pose a threat to Mister Jones’ vessel, but they are in close proximity to the Star Drive.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Induce vomiting? And then what? How do we get rid of this thing without killing it?

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::thinks Jones is probably better off inside the mega tribble, because if he ever gets his hands on him.....::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Kill you? No this thing wouldn't want to kill you... its a tribble! Tribbles are wondrous and friendly creatures....

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Thank you for the report.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: You are welcome, Sir.

CSO Lt York says:
::takes a sample of the Captain's blood and places it in a Petri dish::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Okay let me put this another way. Put this tribble back to normal or I shall destroy it.

CSO Lt York says:
::looks over at Ryn, trying to smile and trying to show her with his actions that he will fix this::

SO Tallis says:
::doesn't know if a giant mega-tribble is wondrous or friendly::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Normal? Hmm, get me out here...we... we could use.... um ::looks around::

CSO Lt York says:
Computer: Squeaky squeak squee.....::sighs::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: ::Whispers.:: His 'imagination', perhaps?

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Squeaky.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: I am having my tactical officer prepare a phaser beam. We're about to perform the biggest laser surgery in history.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: Maybe you could write it down? ::fishes around for a PADD::

CSO Lt York says:
::smiles and nods::

Computer in Sickbay says:
 CSO: Error... cannot understand command, Please repeat.

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: WAIT!!! ::panics:: You'll destroy me! General Order two, I think, General Order two.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::hands the CSO a PADD:: CSO: Write down the command and I'll say it.

CSO Lt York says:
::smiles, then starts typing in::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: General order THIS!

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: I believe he is referring to Starfleet General Order Two: The Temporal Prime Directive.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: I want to know how to shrink the tribble and I want to know now.

CSO Lt York says:
::hands her the PADD back::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Tempo... are you high again?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::reads the PADD to the computer:: Computer: Run a complete molecular scan off sample A, identify and mark hormonal markers specifically. Create a full DNA mapping, using Tribble and Human DNA for references.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: It is Martin Luther King Jr day, but I never drink on duty.

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: You... you promise to rescue me, right? If you shrink this wondrous and cuddly thing I will be crushed.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: You get stranger every shift. Good luck in your court martial.

CSO Lt York says:
::tries to say thank you:: CNS: Squeaky.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Thank you, Sir. The crews morale is high regarding that.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Yes we'll make it vomit, get you out, then shrink the tribble and then throw you away in a cell forever.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::mutters to self..not my morale...::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: WHAT? ::pales:: You... you would do that. I am a scientist, not a terrorist!

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Sorry, that Terror definitely Tribbleises. ::pauses:: I mean the tribble is terrorising... it's HUGE!

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: What are the specifications the probe requires to induce vomiting?

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::starts to wonder what happened to Lorianna::

CSO Lt York says:
::waits for the Computer to finish mapping the sample::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::turns to the SO:: SO: Take notes. And I don't know, you may want to coat the probe in some kind of barbeque sauce or whatever will make the tribble eat it.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: Okay, it says that you and the Captain are nearly exactly half-human, and half-tribble. Something we already know really...

CSO Lt York says:
::nods::

SO Tallis says:
XO: I've never seen a tribble with a mouth, so this will be interesting.

CSO Lt York says:
::points at the PADD where it says hormonal markers and DNA mapping::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: A...a concussive force... not enough to burst its delicate internal organs, but enough to make it dizzy

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: But I mean, we already know this! 

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
SO: Perhaps some bacon pieces.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: So we're not going to make it vomit by making it eat something it doesn't like.. we're going to fire a chunk of metal into its side?

SO Tallis says:
::rolls her eyes at all the jokes coming her way and mutters something inaudible::

CSO Lt York says:
::needs the hormonal markers and waits for the damn Computer to work::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
SO: Prepare the probe. Inform me when it is ready.

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: No... no, it would just throw up the new foreign body... you need to stimulate the digestive tract... either by massage or a concussive force... Didn't you even do Xenobiology?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Whoa whoa now I have heard everything. We have to massage a giant space tribble? ::needs a seat::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
::Cocks a brow as he watches this battle of wits between Idrani and Jones.::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::gets the feeling he'd rather be on the bridge and pops out another baby tribble:: All: SQUEAK squeaky!

SO Tallis says:
XO: He's right, sir. Maybe we could program the probe to emit concussive pulses? That way it'll slide down the digestive tract and 'massage' as it goes?

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::growls and kicks the tribble across sickbay::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Well, yes, it can be used on the smaller specimens...

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
*Sickbay*: Idrani to Sickbay.. how is Captain Fluffy and his trusted sidekick troll?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CO: Now you know how it feels for a female, hm? We have to pop out babies too you know... and its not nearly as pleasant, I hear... 

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
SO: Do it, and quickly. This is a shift I want to get over as soon as possible.

CSO Lt York says:
::puts his hands on her stomach smiling::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
*Bridge*: Solaa, here. We're analyzing blood samples...

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: ::Nods slightly in agreement.::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CNS: Squeak squeak squeaky squeak squeak squeaky squeak SQUEAKY!

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
::notices OPS trying to look smart and shakes his head::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CO: Sorry? What was that again? ::smirks at him::

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::gestures to the CSO to translate::

ACTION: The computer console in the Sickbay starts highlighting the hormonal markers.

CSO Lt York says:
CO: Squeak ? ::shrugs::

CSO Lt York says:
::looks up:: Self: SQUEAK! ::points at the console::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: So...um...er... you...you aren't going to hurt Lucy are you?

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
SO: Could we install a thruster module to the probe to stimulate... ::Looks at Jones as he mentions Lucy.::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: Lucy? It's your idea, Doc. Doc... how did you get that title...?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: So what does that mean?

CSO Lt York says:
::takes the PADD and starts typing::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
SO: Is the probe ready yet?

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::growls and mutters a few squeaks::

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: At a university, sir... ::pouts and mutters, very audibly:: No one understands me... dad was right

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Open a channel to... Lucy.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: ::Quizzical look.:: Channel open... to the Tribbble. ::Taps.::

CSO Lt York says:
::hands it back::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::reads:: Computer: Computer, mark and identify all hormones identified as Tribble and not human related to pregnancy in Tribbles and relates species, use the medical library for reference.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Tribble: I think we have a solution to your indigestion problem... We're going to use a probe. It may feel a little uncomfortable but it should relieve all your pain and discomfort.

SO Tallis says:
 XO: Yes, sir. It's ready.

Lucy the Amazing Tribble says:
COM: A probe? does it taste nice?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
SO: Launch it then, please.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Tell it is cased in Marmite. 

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Tribble; I don't know. It tastes...probey.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: What? He'll either love it or hate it.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Everyone loves it, Sir.

ACTION: The computer highlights the markers as requested.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: The only way you could be more annoying is if you were pink and popping out little tribble-you's over the bridge.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: Unfortunately, I cannot comply.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Don't make me come back there.

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: But I could create a holodeck program for the occasion.

Lucy The Amazing Tribble says:
 COM: Um... OK.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
::pops out another tribble and throws it at the door::

Host Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Hello? Is that the TRIBBLE I hear?

CSO Lt York says:
::laughs:: CNS: Squeak! ::points at the data::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Just... shhh! How about we play a little game. See how long you can stay quiet until you have something necessary to report?

CSO Lt York says:
::types more into the PADD::

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: I have not heard of that game before. How do you play...?

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::is thoroughly confused by tribble-speak::

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Jones: I'd make sure you're holding on to something if I were you.

ACTION: The probe speeds towards the tribble at a rapid pace, a mouth, out of no-where appears and swallows the probe.

SO Tallis says:
::thinks, what could he possibly hold on to?::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::reads:: Computer: Synthesize all marked hormones and use the blood sample to create a hormonal blocker against them all.

Cyrano Jones says:
COM: Scimitar: Hold on to what? Hm... oh no... what did you just do?

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
COM: Tribble: That's it. Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.

CSO Lt York says:
::types 'If I'm right, I can stop giving birth to bloody furballs' ::

ACTION: The computer creates the hypospray for the CNS.

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::giggles as she reads his response:: CSO: I'm SO glad you're brilliant, darling... but can you reverse the tribble genes?

OPS Ens Yor`KiE says:
XO: It's what makes the Tribble go bleaurgh.

XO Cmdr Idrani says:
OPS: Let's hope so. If it lands on us, you can clean the hull on the way home.

CSO Lt York says:
::waits for the Computer to synthesize the hormonal blockers then types more into the padd ' I AM brilliant, and with time I think I can. But I need help from that freak inside the big one'::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
::takes the hypo and injects it into the CSO first, then walks over to the CO:: CO: I think this should solve your little problem, sir. ::smiles::

CNS Lt Solaa says:
CSO: Well, don't get too big-headed now...
