Last time on the Scimitar:

The crew are crazy - literally. People are doing things they can't control, with the CSO beating the XO to a pulp and the CO modifying the deflector dish. A beam caused a wormhole in the sea, and water levels rise. What on N Class planets is going on?

Captain's Log, Stardate 10909.21: I'm going to have to have words wit the CTO, instead of confining myself to quarters as per protocol, I was locked out so I've ended up in the lounge.

<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission – Restoration – Part 4 >>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::on the bridge, trying to focus on the view screen as he walks down the railing::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::On bridge in CO chair feeling uncomfortable::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::stands in the brig looking at the CSO::

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: Power is holding, thrusters at 78% efficiency...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sitting in the lounge looking at the glass of single malt in his hand::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Re..report, Lieutenant?

ACTION: From the wormhole, a ball of yellow energy exits.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Understood keep a close eye on them.  Are there any systems that we can shut down to allow work to continue while in flight?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::takes a step back, almost falters but grabs onto the wall:: TO: What?......where am I ?

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::rushes into the Brig:: CSO: What the HELL is happening here????

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: are you OK sir.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: No sir, we need most systems on-line right about now....

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CNS: Rynia ?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: And who the hell are you ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Ah... well you want the short version or the extremely long one?

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CSO: What did you DO?!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::walks more into the centre area and lowers himself into a chair:: CTO: Short... and...::looks at the view screen:: Did we cause that?

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: I am the Tactical Officer sir

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::sits down on the cot:: CNS: I.....I......damn. I beat him....Ryn, please. Is Ren alright ?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
TO: Tell it to someone who cares, just get me out of here!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::shakes his head and puts his glass down as he remembers how he ended up there:: Self: Dammit! ::Stands and heads for the turbolift::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Well the CO went nuts and made changes to the dish, he fired it off, which I fortunately made some changes to make the power lower.  I have relieved him of command for endangering the ship without cause.  As for the wormhole thing the beam from the dish did it

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CMO*:you need to come down here looks like the CSO is back to normal cant tell if he is.
ACTION: A second ball of energy comes from the wormhole.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Right... ::looks at the Science console, for a moment surprised that York is not there:: Science/CTO: What IS that thing? We need to stop...stop it!

SO Ens. Andrews says:
XO: Scanning sir.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: By taking off we seem to have pulled enough power from the emitters to have stopped the beam the dish started

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::orders the turbolift to the bridge::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: I will take command. ::rubs his head and takes a deep breath:: CTO: Can you reverse what the Captain did?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Happily I will relinquish command, as for what he did I have no idea what it was he did

ACTION: A third ball of energy flies out the wormhole. They are heading away for some coordinates over the ocean.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CSO: Yes, he's fine.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CSO: What were you THINKING? Were you hallucinating???

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CNS: I think so....I don't understand any of this....there was a Jem'Hadar, then Ren did something....and we fought.....I don't understand why I did it....please Rynia, help me.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::head is aching:: CTO: You are a CTO, it has been a while since the Captain was a CTO, surely you can figure it out? ::mumbles:: Self: And where is that damn medkit

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: well sir I am going to keep you in there till the CMO clears you.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Moves back to the Security station and tries to track balls of energy::

SO Ens. Andrews says:
XO: Still unsure what those things are sir....but they all seem to be heading to the same coordinates.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Ah... what???

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
SO: Can you fire a probe to trace them, or use sensors or...something?

SO Ens. Andrews says:
XO: Sir? I just traced them....coordinates sent to the conn. They all seem to gather right there. ::brings up the image on the screen::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::flashes a pained expression at the CTO:: CTO: Captain MacAllister has not been a CTO for many years, that means what he did was likely sloppy. Trace his steps and reverse his actions

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::storms out of the lift and onto the bridge:: XO: A word in your ear Lieutenant. ::marches straight to his ready room::

ACTION: A new ball of energy is released from the wormhole every two minutes.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Aye sir but it looked like a lot more of a Science officer kinda thing

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::Turns and looks at the CO:: CO: No. I am busy.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CTO*: sir looks like the CSO looks normal were is the CMO.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::pokes his head out the door:: XO: NOW Lieutenant!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Starts trying to decipher the changes the CO made to the dish to reverse them

SO Ens. Andrews says:
XO: Sir?? It's intensifying, I calculate that every two minutes, this energy....ball appears and heads for the same coordinates.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: YOU are relieved of duty. I do not have to take orders from you, Mister MacAllister ::rubs his head, the headache building::

SO Ens. Andrews says:
::watches the XO, wondering if he should even be on duty himself...::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::swallows and looks at the SO:: SO: Is there interesting at the coordinates? ::looks at the view screen, confused::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::smiles sympathetically:: CSO: You have got to get a hold of yourself. There are no Jem'Hadar anywhere NEAR where we are. All ridiculous hallucinations that you have to decide to believe or not to believe.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: I may be relieved of duty but if you want to have any chance of regaining control of the deflector you'll get your backside in here!

SO Ens. Andrews says:
XO: Sir.....I think it's right we let the lieutenant relieve you....you should go see the doctor.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::growls, rubbing his head:: CO: You will address me here, now, as I am the ranking Command officer

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::starts sobbing, his time in the Romulan cell coming back to him....all those mind tricks and hallucinations.....once he tried to kill the Captain, and now someone was messing with his head again....making him try and murder the XO in cold blood......:: CNS: Get me out of here.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: No more running to your ready room, you should not even be here in this area, Mister MacAllister

ACTION: The XO passes out.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Sir the CO placed a number of lockouts on the controls I cannot change anything.  Best I can offer is to remove all the control chips which I don't suggest

SO Ens. Andrews says:
CTO: Sir, I don't think the XO is in any shape to be up here....

SO Ens. Andrews says:
::sees him pass out and taps his badge:: *sickbay*: Medical emergency on the Bridge!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: What have I told you about... oh for GODS sake! ::moves to the XO and checks his pulse::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Moves back down to the CO chair:: *CMO* medical emergency on the bridge, XO has passed out

SO Ens. Andrews says:
::panicking:: CTO: I just did that !

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CSO: are you OK I cant let you go till Medical checks you out first.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::stirs and opens his eyes:: Aloud: I'm fine...I'm fine

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
SO: See what you can do about the water levels.  We need to land soon.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::starts to get up, slowly as not to make him more dizzy::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: I reckon you've got a concussion, stay there until medical arrives.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: No, now get off my bridge...::swallows:: Sir..

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::Stands up and points a finger at the TO from the other side of the forcefield:: TO: Now you listen to me you overgrown ape, you were just a twinkle in your father's eye when I was getting in worse fights than this! I need to get back out there, I can't just stay in here...do you know where the ship is? Do you wanna get home or not? I have a bloody job to do, and you will let me do it!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::turns to the TO:: CSO: He seems to be back to normal.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::starts to move back to the centre chair::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
TO: Let him go.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
CNS: I hope your right sir.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
SO: What can you tell about the energy levels at that odd water formation 
there ::Points at the screen::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::holds the XO down to stop him getting up:: XO: You're a doctor, you know how much damage it can do... trust me Ren, stay there. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Access the deflector control again, the access code is one, five, niner, pi, omega, five.

SO Ens. Andrews says:
CTO/CO: sirs.....my scans are coming back with some results....seems like we can trace the origin of the water rising to the focal point, where these energy balls are gathering......also, the computer is having a hard time with this, but it is classifying these balls as lifeforms.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Accesses the dish and changes the code to prevent the CO from messing with it again and powers down the beam::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::walks over to the console and lowers the force field::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::keeps hand close to phaser::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::takes his arm firmly:: CSO: Don't mess this up. 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* if we were to go into orbit could we maintain our altitude longer?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: They took me over to release themselves... we need to try and communicate with them, where's York?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Get your hands off me ::starts to shift his weight to shrug off the CO's restraining arms::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::stands up and takes her hand:: CNS: Yeah......sure.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: I won't tell you again Ren, and you're in no condition to fight me... Stay down!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CSO: I mean it! Fight your hallucinations! Rational thinking. You're a scientist, remember?!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I am sorry sir but until we can get the CMO to give you a clean bill of health I cannot return command per regulations.  However your suggestion is a good one.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: I can give you orbit, yeah. But we won't have power to keep it from degrading forever...we need to stop for repairs when we can, I'm running on fumes here kiddo.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CNS: I'm okay....I just, feel so......bad?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Don't quote protocol to me Vendal, it wasn't an order it was a suggestion.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Understood, do what you can till we can land again

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: At least let me sit up, prone positions are not good for concussions... ::starts to look for the CO's pressure points on his arms, to break the grip::

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CSO: Get yourself together, Commander! There's a wormhole out there! ::points to the bulkhead:: Get to work!

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::leads her to the TL:: CNS: I'll be alright...you head to sickbay, and give our daughter a kiss from me. ::smiles::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CNS: I love you....thank you.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Scan the balls of energy for any form of energy emission that could be communication::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::picks the XO up and sits him in the centre chair:: XO: Now... are you going to stay put until the medics get here or am I going to have to sit on you?

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::nods:: CSO: I love you too. Go!

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::steps inside the TL and watches her until the doors close:: TL: Bridge.......no need to hurry.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CTO*Looks like the CSO is fine I head to engineering to get back to fixing the console so we can get weapons back on line.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: You are still off duty... ::looks at the screen:: CTO: The modifications... if you made a small modification...surely...surely we could get home?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*TO* Understood, however propulsion is main concern right now

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: I'm not debating that... now stop changing the subject and answer the question.

TO Ens. Rocker says:
*CTO* understood sir I'll get right on it.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I agree with the captain we need to communicate with them, they do seem to communicate with each other, we can at least try

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: Yes sir. I'll squeeze what I can out of her. Engineering out!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Sits in First Officer chair::

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::exits the brig and heads for the turbolift:: Enters the turbo lift: Maine Engineering.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::Steps onto the Bridge and stops in the middle of the walkway::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::intentionally ignores the CO:: CTO: Run the simulations, Lieutenant, test my...my theory

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CO: Permission to return to duty..sir. ::eyes the XO sadly::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Aye sir but I am not sure we have enough data for a proper simulation

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Are you back to your...yourself, Commander?

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::steps of the turbolift and heads for Engineering::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::points to the CTO:: CSO: Ask him... did you bring a medic with you?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins running simulation::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CO: No...no medic. Was I supposed to?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: Sir, I am.....I don't know what happened...::grimaces at the XO's appearance::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: It would have been helpful.

ACTION: With new energy balls coming out the wormhole every two minutes there are now 20 at the coordinates. The water is being parted at the coordinates, leaving the surrounding water levels to rise rapidly.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Then return to your station, we could do with...with your help ::rubs his head again::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CTO: Vendal...your kid and the counsellor released me. ::heads for the station:: XO: Aye sir!

MO Dr. Scottish says:
::walks on the bridge:: CO: What is it Cap'n?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::pushes Andrews out of the way:: Self: What the hell ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: I have been tracking energy transfers from one being to another, see if you can identify how they communicate and how to replicate it

TO Ens. Rocker says:
::enters Engineering and heads for the console and begins working on getting propulsion back on-line::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
MO: See to the XO... he passed out for a moment and came back, I'm thinking concussion.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
All: Is this a joke? ::points at the data and brings it up on the screen::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
MO: I am fine, return to Sickbay.

MO Dr. Scottish says:
CO: Well thanks for ye diagnosis but I be the Doctor and I'll just take a wee look first. ::opens his tricorder and moves to the XO::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
All: We have the sea parting at the coordinates these...fireflies are gathering at. What have I missed?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Smiles:: XO: Sir please don't make me have to relieve you too

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CTO: Yes, send me the data.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: You can let the MO be the judge of that or I can have a word with Powers... I may not be able to relieve you of duty but he will.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Sends the CSO the data collected so far::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Concentrate on your work, Lieutenant, I will concentrate on...reality

MO Dr. Scottish says:
CO: Oh don't ye worry there Captain, with yerr latest frolics ye be quite high on the list for a physical!

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::starts running the energy patterns through his identification protocols::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
MO: Don't remind me.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Lieutenant Commander York, I asked your colleague to launch a probe but I...I don't remember if it was done. Send one out to those coordinates.

MO Dr. Scottish says:
::scans the XO and sings:: Aloud: In the highlands... in the highlands...

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::winces:: MO: Do you have to sing so...so loud?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: I'll do it now, sir. Class 3 probes ready and....launched for the coordinates. I hope the little glowballs play nice.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: If they wanted to kill us they'd have done it already.

MO Dr. Scottish says:
Aloud; We can eat all the Haggis we like... play the bagpipes all night... We wont feel any guilt for wearin' a fine Kilt... in the Highlands... XO: OH, sorry, is that 
giving you pain?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Scans the wormhole for changes since the beam was deactivated::

ACTION: Power is running low on the unrepaired Scimitar.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::rubs his temple again:: MO: Yes... one of the side effects of head trauma is sensitivity to sound and light

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
CTO/XO: The code isn't something I recognise...I need more time

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: We don't have time, William. Work faster

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
Self: Blasted ball of scrap metal ::kicks the injector manifold::

MO Dr. Scottish says:
XO: Oooooh well then, you used to be a Doctor... so why don't I just shut my tricorder and go back to Sickbay... no I don't think so... now shush so I can check what is wrong... hmm looks like you had some head trauma.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: Trying to sir!

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: We either land or we make orbit Lieutenant! That's all the time you have! We are dipping into reserves!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
MO: You could just shut your tricorder, and go back to Sickbay but... ::winces:: it seems no-one listens to the XO... ::moves his head slightly:: CTO: Have you completed the simulations? Can we open a wormhole home?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::his console beeps:: XO: Bingo.

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
Self: I'm good..

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: The name is Lieutenant Ro'kar, Bingo is my cousin twice removed, now tell me what...what you have

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: I've deciphered the language sir, from what slight syntax they have managed to get across, the computer referenced words similar to freedom, or free....that or coffee maker.

MO Dr. Scottish says:
::pushes a hypospray to the XOs neck a little too hard:: XO: Quit yer whining, you'll be fine.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Let's hope it's a coffee maker... the coffee in the lounge is lousy.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
FCO: Take us into orbit, give us the best attitude for power conservation

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::fires a fire suppression gas at the fire:: *CTO*: We are close to burning a hole through this manifold sir! We need to rest her, and soon.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
MO: Argh! Doesn't Doctor Powers teach his staff to administer hyposprays effectively, more wrist LESS arm

FCO Ryan says:
CTO: Yes Sir!

TO Ens. Rocker says:
Computer: What's the status on the propulsion systems.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Can we use the shuttlecraft engines to supplement power?

ACTION: The ship starts going into orbit.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
::Yells over the loud sirens behind him:: *CTO*: Aye, and perhaps dumbo can help us fly!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: And now? Simulations finished? No? Yes?

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: I can try and write up a short, simple message and send it out through our comm array. Needs to be short and simple, we don't have enough syntax yet.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Pulls up data:: XO: Simulation has just finished there is a 97% chance it would work

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: What about something like 'How?'

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins to configure the dish to send the correct beam to alter the wormhole::

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
::looks down at his console as data starts flowing in from the class 3 probe:: All: Probe is responding.....reading an immense energy source at the coordinates...they seem to be flocking towards it

CSO LtCmdr. York says:
XO: I can do that...should I send it ?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Unless you have... have a better message ::swallows hard::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I have reconfigured the dish to modify the wormhole, when you are ready

CSO LtCmdr. York_ says:
XO: No sir....message sent

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Do it..

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Engages the dish changes::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Fires beam at the wormhole::

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CTO*: We can maintain this orbit for a short time...perhaps couple of hours, if we 
conserve energy....I am confident I can get the repairs done within that time.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CEO* Well done, I am sorry we have taxed you so much
