Captain's Log, Stardate 10909.14: The CSO's in the brig, Zen's in the brig, Vendal's asking too many questions so he may yet end up there... All I want to do is get the repairs done and get rid of that rock!

<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission – Restoration – Part 3 >>>>>>>>>>
XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::in Sickbay, unconscious::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::At defector control trying to decipher the modifications the CO made::  CO: Sir I have engaged the modifications you made but it didn't work.  What were you trying to do so I can make it happen

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::in sickbay running a full series of tests on the XO, focusing on the neural scan::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: stands up from the console slightly annoyed with the captain:: CO: Sir, You want me to find us on  these charts? How on earth am I supposed to do that when .. :: walks over to the captain and takes his arm pulling him over to the console and sitting him down as she leans over his shoulder and points to the screen :: CO: This captain is where we are right now, and there is no planet, see for yourself. :: points

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::puts his head in his hands and shakes it:: CTO: Get Strauss up here.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
FCO: There is your problem, we are not on Earth

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: looks over at the CTO:: CTO: Very funny!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
FCO: Just trying to be helpful

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::sits in his cell, sobbing....thinking what a failure he must be::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::does what he can to repair the damage done by the CSO:: Aloud: He won't be winning any beauty contests any time soon.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir the CEO is busy with repairs, I have been working closely with him.  I am sure I can make the changes you want if I can understand what you are trying to do

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: How can a planet in, ::looks at the charts:: what appears to be charted space... not be on the charts? Either it's been removed because it's classified or something altogether wrong is going on here.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::mumbles softly:: Aloud: Why?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: You already tried that, I told you, I want that rock moved.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CO: It is not showing on OUR charts or the charts from the other Scimitar. 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Makes some modifications to the main view screen and makes the rock disappear::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: I think we can safely say OUR charts are rather obsolete here.

SCENE: There are no rocks

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*EO*: When you are finished installing the plasma conduit, weld the new hull plating on. ::moves the remote probe with the joystick, watching the repairs being done on the outside::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::sees that the XO is waking up:: XO: York really did a number on you. You'll be feeling pretty sore for a while.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CO: Well either way.. this planet ain't on the charts.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::exits the turbolift::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::opens his eyes a little:: CMO: What? What was the...the damage?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*TO* Vendal to Rocker, I need you to go to sickbay and check on the XO and then to the brig and see if the CSO and Ops have regained their senses.  If you are not sure of what has happened review security video logs of the bridge for the last hour

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::is relieved to see no signs of permanent brain damage on the scans:: XO: Severe concussion, skull fracture and a broken nose. Nothing permanent though.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CTO*: understood sir.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Hears the comm echo from the turbolift::  TO: Report back when you have checked on them

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::adjusts some power levels on the newly installed conduits on deck 3:: All: Keep an eye out on the power levels, they are spiking into red.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::enters the turbolift:: Turbolift:: sickbay.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: And you repaired the...the damage? Just the usual...um... 24 hour observation window for...for the concussion? ::tries to sit up slightly::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: OK, well I find it hard to believe that everyone else missed this planet when we found it with no problem... mark our position on the charts, it may be of some use to our counterparts in this universe.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::looks up at the screen:: CTO: Where'd my rock go?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CO: Aye captain. :: Pushes the captain from the console seat and goes about marking our position on the star charts::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: You said you wanted it gone, it is gone

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I'd like to keep you longer than that to be on the safe side, but I realise that might not be practical in our current situation.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::enters sickbay and looks around::

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: Strauss to Captain MacAllister, keep an eye out for power failures up there, we are in the process of rewiring.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: It must have been a brutal attack to cause damage like that though. Why did he do it? Was he hallucinating?

ACTION: Straight after the words "Power failure", the comm is cut off.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CMO: how is the XO doing.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Can you help me up, I think that the prone position is increasing pressure to the cranial region?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sits in his chair as Strauss cut off:: Self: What's he broken this time?

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::sees the comm system malfunction:: Self: God dammit

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Quietly:: *CEO* Strauss the tide is rising, we need to get off planet or find a way to make the ship buoyant.  Have any ideas?

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
All: Someone get on that!

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::walks  up to the CMO and XO::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Helps the XO to sit up:: TO: Lt Ro'kar has suffered some major head trauma but I have managed to repair it. He should be back on his feet in a few days. I want to scan the CSO though, to see what might have caused the attack. Can you arrange to have him brought here?

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CMO: sure sir but I have security with him at all times for safety reason.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir we have a new issue.  The tide is rising, we do not have data as to how high the water will get

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::shakes his head:: CTO: OK, now that rock's out of the way, I want to emit a pulse from the deflector on a narrowband frequency.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
TO: That will be fine.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::focusses on the floor to stop the world spinning::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir we have more pressing issues.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*Security* Bring the CSO into sickbay and set your phaser to stun Rocker out.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::thinks about putting a big red marker on the star charts saying "USS Scimitar was here in the middle of no-where" but then decides that could be a little too sarcastic::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: For all we know this planet doesn't exist, just emit the pulse.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::notices that the XO isn't looking very steady so raises the top of the bed up:: XO: You should sit back and try not to move too much. I don't want you falling asleep though.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::taps his commbadge::CTO: There is something.....let me look into it and get back to you. Strauss out.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CMO: I am hacking security bring the CSO here to medical.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: I... I think I agree... Strange feeling this... ::carefully tries to lie back::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir as your next highest officer on the bridge I am not seeing where you are going with this course of action.  It could endanger the ship to ignore the water levels.

SCENE: Water levels are rising.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
Self: Huh? rising water levels? :: looks out of the view screen :: 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins a detailed scans of the planet and system to determine ending water levels::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::smiles weakly:: CMO: They say that you should....should keep a person's mind's active to avoid... drowsiness... but the allure of... ::closes his eyes briefly:: of sleeping is good...

CMO Lt. Powers says:
TO: Good. Are you going to stick around as well? I don't think you've had your physical yet...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: What exactly do you want to do about it... take off?? ::walks over to the engineering console and slams his hand down on the command to emit the pulse:: In case you hadn't noticed we don't have the power to get this crate off the ground, if you've got a problem with that take it up with Strauss but don't you DARE question my orders again!!!

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: There is one thing we can try, we can try and use the same principles as submarines work off of, ballast.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CMO: sir I am waiting on the security team to bring down the CSO like you said.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: You were a doctor. You could play 'Spot the illness'. There are plenty of customers today... though I seem to have sedated most of them.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::jumps as the captain slams his fist down on a console:: 

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Has...has there been many reports of....of delusions aboard the vessel? ::looks at him tiredly::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir, while this is your ship and I respect your position you do need to explain your orders and their reasons when they seem out of sorts.  I am not out of line to require you to explain yourself according to regulations.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::walks out of medical and heads for the Brig::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Maybe you should read up on the chain of command Lieutenant, I don't have to explain myself to anyone, especially during wartime.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::arrive at the Brig :: CSO: Hello

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CO/CTO: Could you both maybe discuss or argue this later, we have more pressing issues to resolve than the chain of command and such. 

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::notices a security officer entering and walks over to the forcefield:: TO: How is he? Is he alright? Please?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I do have the authority to relieve you of duty if your commands either put the ship in undue danger either by action or inaction.  Ignoring the rising water level and our lack of action to the resolution of that is putting us at risk.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: There have been quite a few. I've noticed increased brain activity in all those who I have managed to scan. That's to be expected with this sort of condition so it doesn't tell us very much. I expect to see the same thing with York.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::feels a heaviness on his mind, then stops talking and stares blindly at the TO::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: how are you today sir feeling any better

ACTION: The pulse is emitted, pointed into the sea. At the contact point, a whirlpool is being formed at a slow rate.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: Release me

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: I remember being filled with such.... ::swallows, rubbing his head to relieve the tension:: such anger towards Mister York but...but I could not explain it

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: lets take a walk to Sickbay sir.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: No. I need to get to the Bridge. Now.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: I don't need your authorisation to make command decisions on my ship Vendal, now unless you want a charge of insubordinate behaviour levied against you, you'll follow your orders as they have been issued.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::puts his hand against the Forcefield, power crackling he does not even flinch:: TO: Let me go now.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: I have order to get you to Sickbay.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::backs up::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::lays his other hand on the forcefield, staring the TO down:: TO: Bridge........take me to your leader.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Scans the whirlpool to determine threat to ship::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CTO*Sir I don't think the CSO should be going any were the CSO just said take me to your leader.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::starts pounding on the forcefield:: TO: NOW!!!!!

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
Self: There should be a way to ease this...this fogginess

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::looks around for his commbadge, trying to focus::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir if you do not cease this action you will be in violation of Starfleet regulations and I will be forced to relieve you of duty.  I do not want to do that sir, but I have to ensure the safety of the entire ship.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: Now now now now now!!!

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: sorry but your not going any were you can stay in there.

ACTION: TO sees a poor pony stuck behind bars,

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::Looks at the screen:: All: It's working.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CO/CTO: Will you both shut up arguing this point, we get it already, but there is more pressing things going on right now than this stupid argument.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CMO* The TO is in the Brig with the CSO and there is a concern about releasing him, can you examine him in the brig?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: Take me to the Captain! I CAN'T WAIT!!

SCENE: Water starts forming a puddle under the Scimitar.

ACTION: CMO replies and confirms.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::smiles and looks back down at the console, quickly tapping the command to lock the controls for the deflector and encrypt the security code::

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: I'm still waiting on your request, Vendal. I can try and make it work.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CTO* Please do so, the CO has created some kind of whirlpool, I don't know what it will do but we need to take this one step at a time

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Computer: remove captains control codes per Starfleet regulations

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: Are you going against the Captain's orders...? I'm not sure I can do that.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir you have left me no choice, please stand down

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
Self: Comm badge must be here somewhere.... ::mumbles::

SCENE: The whirlpool exhibits signs of a wormhole - like a wormhole in the sea. As the pulse continues to feed it, it grows larger and stronger over time.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* I have relieved the CO of command for violations of Starfleet regulations, he has endangered the ship with undue cause

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: You WHAT?!?!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Computer: Shut down all power to the emitters

Computer says:
CTO: Authorisation code required.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: Alright......sir. ::checks the computer for verification....::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Reroutes power from all emitter banks to the replicators::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: I should get to the Bridge....

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: If you think you're up to it...

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: just shakes her head :: 

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: The computer banks show no such action being taken, Lieutenant. I'm afraid I need to take my orders from the Captain or Lieutenant Ro'kar

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: That won't work. ::grins::

Computer says:
CTO: Captains command codes revoked. ::pauses:: Unable to reroute power, system is locked.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::Swallows hard:: CMO: I...I feel that it would keep the mind.... active enough and there should be enough people to ensure I...I don't rest

SCENE: Water level is rising rapidly, starts touching the lower decks.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO:  Very well then. Off you go. Doctors really do make the worst patients.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: I've received verification....I hope this won't mean a court martial.......::activates the ballast::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Well... since you don't need me any more I'll be in my quarters. ::grins and walks to the turbolift::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CMO: Indeed ::grabs his commbadge and presses it as he walks slowly to the Turbolift:: *Bridge*: Lieutenant Ro'kar to the Bridge...What...what I miss?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Then you tell me, the CO entered a encryption into the command codes to prevent me from relieving him, he has created a wormhole under us without any consultation of the rest of the command staff, does that not sound like undue risk of the ship

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CTO/CO: OK since you have both stopped arguing, can we PLEASE do something if anything about this water rising up the ship?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Pulls a phaser and aims at the CO:: CO: Sir remove the encryption or I will be forced to stun you

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: You Ventaxians aren't the most logical people are you... exactly how do you intend to get the codes if I'm unconscious?

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::studies the commbadge quizzically before stepping into the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Upon your incapacitation there are protocols to remove any encryption you have placed.  It is not my preferred method

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant, I will give you one better.....if I shunt enough power, I can get us into low orbit.....it will be a rough ride, the FCO will have to be on her toes.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::thinks this is going to be a long day, stands and pulls both the CO and the CTO to the view screen and pushes them both up to it:: CO/CTO: Look rising water, you two being idiots and arguing over pettinesss sheesh, more important is getting us off this non-existent planet.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Do it now

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
FCO: Man your station!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Good luck doing that, but as you said yourself, you have more pressing matters to attend to. ::gestures to the FCO::

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::shunts all emergency power into the engines::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir I would ask you to remain in your ready room please

FCO Lt. Numark says:
CTO: Not until you both stop arguing like a bunch of 2 year olds.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Moves to the captains chair and monitors SF and ID systems

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::leans against the turbolift wall and closes his eyes for a few seconds::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Ready room my ass, I've got a bottle of single malt in my quarters and I intend to break in to it. ::steps into the lift and lets the doors close::

ACTION: The ship takes off, unstable with the emitter firing, but the take off does stop it firing in the end.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Computer: Security lock on the captains quarters, no one is to enter without my command code

Computer says:
CTO: Acknowledged. Captains Quarters in lock down.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*TO*: Are you bringing the CSO to me or am I coming to you?

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::steps off the turbolift and leans against the wall:: Aloud: Is the comm system....system down?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CO*: I guess synthahol from the replicator in your ready room will have to suffice

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::rubs his head and looks at the Bridge:: Aloud: Am I dreaming? Hello? ::moves forward and looks at the staff::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CMO*: well sir looks you will have to come to me I am not letting the CSO is acting strange.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::steps out of the lift and finds his quarters locked:: *CTO*: Damn you Vendal! ::accesses the transporter control system and initiates a site to site transport into his quarters::

Computer says:
CO: Unable to comply, command codes revoked.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*TO*: Alright, I'm on my way. ::places a MO in charge and heads for the Turbo-lift::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::moves to the XO's chair, looking at the CTO in the centre chair before lowering himself into the XO's chair::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, can you hear me?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Sir are you feeling alright

CO Capt. MacAllister says:  
Computer: And damn you too!

Computer says:
CO: Please restate command.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::heads for the lounge::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::smiles weakly:: CTO: Hurray, I am not hallucinating... I...I am fine... ::takes a deep breath::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Just need to...to rest a little

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Sir the CO was endangering the ship, I didn't want to relieve him but I was forced to.  The CO has encrypted some kind of pulse he is sending out and creating a wormhole I cannot shut down.  Do you wish me to relinquish command to you?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
     Aloud: I think I'm going to treat myself to a nice crate of Romulan ale when this is
     all over. Lord knows I deserve it.
