Last time on the Scimitar:

The Scimitar crew battled to override the engineering console lockout. When ordered by the XO, the CSO denied ever locking out the console and not even a punch to te face jogged his memory. After further investigations were conducted, the person who did the lock out looked like the CSO but the biometric data does not match up to the CSO's DNA. A sample has been snet to Sickbay for further analysis. So for the moment, the Scimitar is dead in the water and no closer to solving the problem.

Meanwhile on the Romulan vessel, Ying and Yang finished off their tales of domination to the CO and left him alone to his fate. Due to a loose panel, the CO encountered a fellow Scotsman, who revealed his identity to be Commander John Haggis McGlasgow of Starfleet Intelligence, Admiral Shinra's triple agent. McGlasgow assisted the CO to escape the Romulan vessel. Before sealing the escape pod, he gave the CO the cryptic clue of 'Seven-Seven-Delta-Pi-Gamma-One-One'. The pod is now speeding back towards the Scimitar's last known coordinates, transmitting a distress call as it goes.

<<<<Resume Mission - “Metamorphosis” Part 6 – And He Sent Forth A Raven >>>>

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::sitting in the pod hurtling toward the Scimitar::

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: I have something on long range sensors.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: The pod?

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
CNS: Definitely the source of the distress signal.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
::runs the schematic through the database:: CNS: Aye, the configuration seems Romulan.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::sitting on the Bridge in the CO's chair as he is absent currently:: 

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: Excellent! Life signs?

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: One lifesign yes, definately human.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::wonders why the Scimitar hasn't responded yet and checks the communications array::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: That must be the Captain. 

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: How close are we to picking it up?

 SO Ens. Jacobs says:
SO Jacobs: I've been monitoring that probe as requested. I managed to pick up the Warbirds last known heading before it cloaked.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: We can intercept if we go to full impulse, on a little over a minute. I will notify shuttlebay 1.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::checks the small sensor display and sees an Akira shaped blip::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: Do that. We need to pick him up as quickly as possible.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
Jacobs: Great job, ensign.

 SO Ens. Jacobs says:
SO: Looks like they were headed for the Neutral Zone.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: Sending the coordinates to conn now, ma'am. Shuttlebay is standing by.

ACTION: The Romulan pod smoothy docks in the shuttlebay next to the unused Romulan Shuttle.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
 SO Jacobs: Get the data ready.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: Notify Medical.

 SO Ens. Jacobs says:
::nods::

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: The pod is secure. Aye ma'am.

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
 *Sickbay*: Sickbay, medical team to Shuttlebay one.

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
CNS: Maam, incoming comm from Starbase 123. It's Admiral Shinra.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::opens the hatch and looks out for a moment before stepping out and heading out of the shuttlebay::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
OPS: On screen.

 MO Jekra says:
*SO*: On our way.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::straightens her uniform and sits up::

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
CNS: We have managed to locate the warbirds trajectory ma'am, they were heading for the neutral zone.

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
CNS: Afraid she wants a private conference, maam. Shall I reroute it to the Ready Room?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::steps into a turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
SO: I figured as much... OPS: Oh, yes, do that.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::gets up and walks to the Ready Room:: 

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
::nods it has been rerouted::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::enters the room and feels a little strange. She sits down at the desk and opens the screen:: Shinra: Admiral.

 Admiral Shinra says:
#CNS: Captain MacAll...is...ter...

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: Lieutenant Solaa. The Captain is indisposed at the moment.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::steps out onto the bridge and looks around:: OPS: Where is everyone?

 SO Lt. Andrews says:
All: Captain on the Bridge!

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
 Shinra: Can I help you?

 Admiral Shinra says:
#CNS: Just where is he, Lieutenant...?

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: A medical team is checking him out. We just recovered him.

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Mostly where they should be Sir, we were looking for you actually. Counsellor Solaa is in your ready room having a chat with Admiral Shinra.

SO Lt. Andrews says:
*Sickbay*: Sickbay, this is the Bridge. We have the Captain here, send someone up here to give him a quick checkup.

 Admiral Shinra says:
#CNS: Recovered him? Where did he go?

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: He was captured by Romulans.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::heads directly for the ready room and walks straight in:: CNS: I'll take it from here Lieutenant.

 Admiral Shinra says:
#CNS: Are you going to explain or do I have to ask you something after every sentence?

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: You couldn't have seen a doctor that quickly.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: I'm fine... I need you on the bridge.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: Well, he's here now... 

Admiral Shinrasays:
#::shakes her head in disbelief:: CO: Have you been cleared to return to duty?

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: No.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::gives the CO a look::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: With all due respect Admiral, they can check me out here... but this is time sensetive.

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: Until you are cleared I can not pass on classified information, but you go first.

 MO Jekra says:
::walks onto the bridge:: SO: Okay, where is the pain in the ass?

SO Lt. Andrews says:
::points to the Ready room::

 MO Jekra says:
::walks straight into the ready room, obviously not best pleased::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: Let's just say I had a run-in with your SFI friend... ::waits to see the Admiral's reaction::

Admiral Shinra says:
#::stoney faced:: CO: Which one?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: McGlasgow.

SO Lt. Andrews says:
OPS: Is it always this crazy up here?

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: Full name?

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
SO: You don't know the half of it. When Yor'KiE is on duty you never know what is going to happen.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: John Haggis McGlasgow, Commander, SFI.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::wonders how many people have the name "McGlasgow" and frowns at the Admiral::

Admiral Shinra says:
# ::can't help but laugh:: CO: Sorry, but you fell for someone saying their name was.. Haggis? I don't know anyone by that name at all.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: Regardless of his name, he assisted me in escaping the Romulan vessel I was held captive on.

SO Lt. Andrews says:
OPS: I can barely wait...::sarcastically::

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: Really? Look, you'll need to hurry your report up a bit, I am needed for an urgent meeting. Something going down at the Neutral Zone.

 MO Jekra says:
::starts scanning the CO as he talks::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: That might be us, ma'am. The Romulans were heading for the Neutral Zone when they captured Capt. MacAllister.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: That's exactly my point, I have information that the RNO is attempting to encite a war between the Federation and the Romulan empire... the skirmish at the Neutral zone is just the beginning.

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO/CNS: Go on.

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: Strauss to Captain MacAllister.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
Shinra: The Romulans planted an agent on board that masquaraded as the CSO.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::pulls out the PADD and uploads the data to the desk console, streaming it directly to the Admiral:: Adm: This data shows plans and other intelligence on the RNO's scheme to put the Federation andRomulans at each others throats.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Go ahead Strauss.

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: We have been working on releasing the lockout using the code you sent us, we are working on the last bit of encryption now. That green blooded bastard really put up a lot of walls.

Admiral Shinra says:
#::looks down at her console for a short while:: CO: I don't know how much we can trust this information, but we can't risk a war. We may know, but if this is right, it won't be enough to stop war if one of our ships attacks a Romulan one at the border.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: Hence the reason I had a message sent to you requesting that our ships there stand down to a defensive stance with orders not to fire unless fired upon.

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: And that message was passed on to the USS Eridani at the border... the same ship this report says is commanded by an intruder!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*ACEO*: Keep me informed and let me know the second we're back up and running.

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: Aye sir. I'll let you know with a great hum.

 MO Jekra says:
::raises the COs arm, scans near his armpit:: CO: Okay, you are cleared to return to duty, but I am ordering you to a follow up exam in two days.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: We will be on our way to the neutral zone as soon as we can, in the meantime I would suggest that we don't do anything that might lead the commander of the Eridani to become suspicious that we know what he's up to.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::nods to Jekra and gestures for him to leave::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
CO: I'll be going back to the Bridge now, sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: Make sure everything is prepared for immediate departure.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::leaves the Ready Room and the snippy Admiral::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::enters the Bridge and sits down in the XO's chair:: Self: Well, it was fun while it lasted... 

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
OPS: Prepare for immediate departure, as per the Captain's orders.

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: Agreed, but I think an Akira class flying in will get him suspicious anyway. Hopefully the Romulans won't see an extra Starfleet vessel as threat to start firing herself.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sits down behind the desk:: Shinra: I suggest we monitor all communications to and from the Eridani Admiral... Ying and Yang are on their way there now and they're likely to contact the commander. at which point we may have to disable the ship before he can do any damage.

ACTION: The ACEO finishes inputting the command codes and hears a humming as the warp comes back online. It is clear though that a virus has just been released into the Scimitar's computers.

Admiral Shinra says:
#CO: Of course. And Captain, he might be an intruder but the rest of that crew are not. Destroying that vessel must be your very LAST option, is that understood?

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
::notices flickering consoles and an alarm goes off:: All: SHUT OFF ALL ODN RELAYS OUT OF THIS DECK !

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
*OPS*: Ops, this is Engineering. Go to full lockdown mode from our servers!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Shinra: Understood. ::hears the hum:: We should be underway shortly.

 EO Rogan says:
ACEO: They are not responding!

ACTION: The consoles in Engineering start flickering off one by one.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
OPS: What is happening?

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
::runs over to the ODN control board and starts manually disconnecting all relays to the Bridge and main systems.::

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
All: Shut it down, shut EVERYTHING down !

 OPS Lt. Zen says:
*ACEO*: Trying now! ::does so:: CNS: Not sure, Engineering said we need to disconnect the relays to the bridge!

ACTION: The Engineering crew are left in only blue light coming from a humming warp drive. All the consoles are dead and the other lights go out.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
OPS: Oh no! Do as he says. Cut the relays quick! Its those codes... Dammit! 

ACEO LtCmdr. Strauss says:
::unlocks main power controls and powers down the whole ship, taking everything but auxiliary life support and communications::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
*ACEO*: I'd like an explanation, Commander...

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
OPS: Send the XO's console the computer logs, please.

ACTION: Lights start flickering out and systems can be heard powering down. There is no power even for life support.
