FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, the engines are ready to tackle whatever this... thing can throw at them.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::sat at her station:: CIV: What did you have in mind, sir?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::In sickbay injecting a crewman with some of the fluctin he prepared earlier::
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
CNS: By reversing the effects of a telepathic inhibitor, we could be able to amplify telepathic abilities enough to distract it.
 
CNS_Modalis:
CIV: But how do we get Commander Harek out of there? I can't sense him at all.
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Nods at the FCO. :: FCO: Maintain position, keep it within striking distance. :: Turns to Modalis and Suder. :: CIV/CSN: Get whatever you need, pull in every telepath on this ship if you have to, but I need that thing stopped before it gets where its going.
 
CSO LtCmdr Harek:
@::grins in pain, trying to feel his back:: Self: Great, not only have I been abducted, but the force against the bulkhead fractured a coupe of thoracic vertebrae
 
CIV LtCmdr Suder:
CNS: I don’t think we have a choice either way. Keeping scanners looking for him right now is the most we can do.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
CIV: Yes, sir.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: Wonder if the CO has lost his spots yet. He hasn't come out of that room we set aside for him in a while.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
XO: I'm taking the CNS down to Sickbay, to try this out.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir the Darkness is only 42 minutes away from the planet...
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::maintains distance from Darkness at 250km
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Nods at Kesh. :: CIV: Have Doctor Atreides monitor you both during the attempt, if anything goes wrong, pull the plug.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
XO: Aye sir. :: motions to the CNS:: CNS: Ready?
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
CIV: Yes, sir.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Makes a note on his PADD to tell the CO to stay away from Andorians with communicable diseases::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Taps his commbadge. :: *CMO*: XO to Atreides, were going to attempt a telepathic assault on the Darkness, Lt. Commander Suder and Counsellor Modalis are heading to sickbay, give them everything they need.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
*CMO*: Understood, any word on the CSO?
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Turns back to Kesh. :: CIV: Be careful, both of you, I don’t want to loose anyone else to this thing.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: steps into the TL with the CNS:: TL: Sickbay. CNS: This thing could work with either of us, Roalla. I have training, but you're a stronger telepath.
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
*CMO*: No.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
*XO*: Right, Atreides out.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
CIV: I'll do my best, sir.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Suddenly sensors pick up a large blob of blackness heading towards them at high speed
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:; shakes head:: CNS: I didn't say you were doing it, Counsellor.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
CIV: I don't see me having any choice, sir. You said yourself, I'm the stronger telepath. We need all the help we can get to retrieve Commander Harek.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, something's coming at us fast!
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Taps his commbadge. :: *CIV*: Kesh, its coming back, it may know what were attempting! You need to get this done now!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: Well, if they're going to kill the darkness or hurt it, they'd better make sure Acamarians can survive in vacuum long enough for us to transport him back. ::sighs::
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: thinks, as the TL doors open:: CNS: Perhaps, but I want to connect to you. make sure you don't get lost. It's a confusing world when you can reach further than you're used to.
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
FCO: Evasive action, keep us away from the darkness until were ready!
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Going into Evasives! Sir, this isn’t the main thing this is something small. Executive evasives!
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The Seleya is struck by the blob and rocks violently. Usual sparks and falling Styrofoam
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
*XO*: It'll take us a few minutes to get it set up, Selzah. try to fend it off.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
CIV: Yes, sir ::stops herself banging into the wall as the ship rocks::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::runs a level 5 diagnostic on the engines. Are the operating?::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Loses his balance and grabs a console to steady himself::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:

FCO: Then use it all, ensign!, raid everything you can.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Another blob is picked up by the sensors
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: zooms into SB:: CMO: Get me a telepathic inhibitor, now!
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Another one's coming! Evading!
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::executes evasive manoeuvres gamma and phi.::
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The blob flies under the Seleya as she dodges it
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CIV: I thought you might be needing one, there's one on the cart behind you. ::smiles at her::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::races into Sickbay::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: It missed, Sir.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: nods to the CMO, unsure why he's so calm:: CNS: Onto the biobed, please. CMO: Fix her down, will you? We don't want another crewmember flung at walls needlessly by this thing.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::sits on the biobed::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, I'm going into an evasive holding pattern. I will maintain distance but we will be in constant, random motions... ::hears a beep.:: XO: Sir, it’s coming direct from behind us! ::Swings the Seleya out of harms way::
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: gets the inhibitor, cracks it open, fiddling around with the interior, scans it with a tricorder, makes a few more changes::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Nods:: CNS: Just lie down and make herself comfortable. ::Gets some restrains ready::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::lies down::
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The blob hits aft. More sparks and Styrofoam. The bridge engineering console explodes.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::Spins the Seleya to her port right, faces the darkness, and zooms forward, in the evasive holding pattern.::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Attaches an isotropic restraint to the biobed and secures Modalis::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, these things are really accurate, I am minimizing damage as much as I can but we're gonna have to fight back or we're just going to lose this war of attrition
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Grits his teeth and grabs the side of his chair. Sends a file of manoeuvres to the FCO. :: FCO: try some of these.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: sets the devise to her own head, glances at the CMO. winces at the volume and multitude of his thoughts she can now hear in his head and rips it off again:: Self: I'm out of practice.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Two blobs appear on the sensors this time
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CIV: You ok?
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Aye sir ::punches in the manoeuvres.:: Executing! ::picks the first one, hoping for the best.:: Brace!

Civ LtCmdr Suder:
CMO: I'm fine, as always. :: sets the devise on a lower setting:: ~~~CNS: You ready, Roalla?~~~ :: walks over to her side::
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The blobs flank the Seleya, port and starboard
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
FCO: Z minus 10,000 meters, full impulse burn!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CIV: Commendable, but I doubt it'll last indefinitely.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
~~~CIV: I'm nervous. But fine~~~ ::smiles a little::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Goes back to monitoring Modalis' condition::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:

XO: On it! ::punches in the XO's commands.:: XO: We're moving but not fast enough sir! We have to get out of range!
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The Blobs maintain their lock on the Seleya.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The Darkness' voice suddenly enters into everyone's head - the noise is deafening
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: sets the telepathic amplifier to the CNS's head:: ~~~CNS: Let me know if it's too high...~~~ :: uses a tricorder to increase the volume slowly::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
Self: COME ON! ::smacks the side of his panel and punches in evasive actions.::
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
*XO*: We're starting now...
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Grimaces at the sudden invasion. :: ALL: Sonofa.....!
 
SM Nick:
<Darkness> YOU WILL NOT PREVAIL. YOU WILL DIE. YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR THE DARKNESS.
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::holds her head at the noise inside::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Wonders how efficient that device of Suder's is and lets his thoughts trail to some Romulan ale he has stowed away for special occasions::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
FCO: All power to aft shields.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
~~~CNS: Focus on the exterior of the ship~~~ :: tries to channel some level of control, through the CNS::
 
CNS LtJG Modalis:
::nods::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Aye, aye Sir. I'm pulling us ahead, I'm dong everything to shake these things... Maybe if I... ::Draws power from the plasma coils to attempt boost the impulse engines to 110% efficiency.::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Taps some controls on the console in front of him and measures Modalis' brain activity::
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Both blobs hit the Seleya, port and Starboard dorsal sections
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: can sense she's half losing Modalis:: ~~~ CNS: Stay with me. Try to expand your thoughts, but stay grounded...~~~
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: grabs the side of the biobed, keeping herself steady::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, the engines cant take much more of this punishment! ::Reads 60% efficiency.:: *Engineering*: I want full power to my engines NOW!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Is only just aware of the darkness' presence for some reason:: Self: Out of my head!
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Modalis starts convulsing violently.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::Readies a distraction buoy.:: XO: Sir, the next one that comes, I'll launch this distraction buoy. I'm trying all of the evasives I know and we're still on the holding pattern but I just don’t know if I can shake these bogies!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CIV: Is that supposed to happen?! ::Readies a hypo::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
FCO: Set a series of 3 random warp jumps, 5 seconds apart, lets see those things follow us that way.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: tries to stay with CNS, but is losing her:: CMO: Doctor. 20 mg lectrazine.
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
~~~CNS: Roalla...~~~ :: holds her steady::

ACTION: Seven blobs register on the sensors
 
CSO LtCmdr Harek:
@ ::perks brain and the hint of voices, wondering if the darkness is trying to contact him::

FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Holy lord! ::executes the sequence in a random pattern of repetition.:: All: Brace yourselves!
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: thinks for a moment, removes the amplifier and scans the CNS:: CNO: I don't know what happened. Give her a sedative. it might stop the convulsions.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Modalis stops convulsing suddenly
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: looks over at the CMO for a moment:: *XO*: What is your situation up there?
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::Jumps to warp 1 in sequences, attempting to evade.::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Readies a hypo with some Morphenolog in case she starts to convulse again:: CIV: Still rising.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The blobs surround the Seleya, slightly behind the Seleya's warp jumps
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
::Taps his commbadge. :: CIV: We're using random warp pulses to stay ahead of them, but its not going to last long. What’s your status?
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Going to warp nine directly dorsal for .5 seconds! ::executes.::
 
CSO LtCmdr Harek:
@::tries to call out telepathically, realizing he has not telepathic ability:: Self: Hello?
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
Self: Yeah, that should put some distance between us. XO: Launching distraction buoy directly ventral! Putting us unto a warp jump pattern directly astern!
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: Modalis starts bleeding from the corners of her eyes and her ears.
 
CSO LtCmdr Harek:
@::rubs eyes as he sees a figure appear before him:: Darkness: Is this some mind game?
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Gives Modalis a shot of acetysal to try and lower her neural activity::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::Puts the Seleya into a warp-jump pattern barrel roll, simultaneously rotating horizontally. In a warp jump pattern.::
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
*XO*: I... I'm not sure. She's not here, but I don't know where she is.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: No effect... great.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: One blob destroys the buoy.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The other blobs hit the Seleya at random sections. BIG bangs.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Sir, this is the most complicated flying I've ever done. ::frantically punches controls.::
 
Civ LtCmdr Suder:
:: holds onto the biobed again, just like the old days::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:
:: Shakes his head. :: *CIV*: What about an electro-magnetic pulse channelled through the deflector array? If this thing is non-corporeal, maybe its composed of neural energy, might short it out, or at least hurt it.
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
::runs a diagnostic on the engines.::
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: BIG explosion in sickbay
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
Self: this isn’t right. How are they following our jump pattern...
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: That bastard is reading my mind!
 
FCO Ens Orpax:

CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Gives Modalis a shot of the anti convulsant he already loaded into the hypo::
 
FCO Ens Orpax:
XO: Nothing should have been able to get 100% accuracy with those moves I was pulling. Not unless they had a copy of my flight patterns. ::taps head:: XO: Continuing evasives, futile as they may be. No one's gonna tell me I died slacking.
 
CSO LtCmdr Harek:
@::seeing the form take familiar shape, cries out:: Silhouette: I'm hear ::pauses for the pain in back to subside:: Can you hear me? ::arghhh::

FCO Ens Orpax:
*Engineering* Let me know when you have it

:: plunks down in the Captains Chair, then nods at the FCO weirdly. :: FCO: Best possible speed Ensign.

:: glances at the XO, stays put at the Science console for now::
 
XO LtCmdr Aan:

XO LtCmdr Aan:
CIV: Did you hear.....?

XO: Let me motivate them ::oblivious to the revelation the XO is having.:: *Engineering*: Commander, I'm throwing a Romulan-Ale theme party for your department if you get me warp in ten minutes. No joke. Orpax out.
 
SM Nick:
ACTION: The crew are left wondering as the Seleya limps back to Starbase
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CSO: I wouldn't if I were you, you might do additional damage.
