The USS Seleya has returned to the world of Charnok ... a planet that caused a lot of ire in the original Seleya's past.

However, a simple mission to continue diplomatic relations has turned into something worse. They discovered the Charnok star system racked with subspace turbulance ... and the world in flames.

While attempting to delve into the mystery of what has happened here, an attack has occurred. Two unknown figures have literally breached the hull of the Seleya ... and the CMO has been impaled on one of their weapons.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: In medical, reaching for a laser scalpel and pocketing it, her eyes on the stranger.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO: Captain, since we're still only at impulse, we're not getting far that quickly. I've still got manual control, but it might be bumpy from time to time.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::standing on the bridge, wondering if things settled down::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Sitting at his console on the bridge, assessing the situation, trying to figure out the amount of damage and casualties::

ACTION: A lot of things happen quickly ... as they should.

ACTION: Fourteen separate forcefield leap into place on four separate decks, to prevent the interior of the ship becoming the exterior.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: However long it takes, start on it...we will limp back if needed

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Please tell me you're okay Sierra.~~~

ACTION: Preventing force-fields leap up around the deuterium tanks, for the safety of the ship.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Sitting on the bridge at the engineering console co-ordinating repair teams::

ACTION: Medical stations throughout the ship leap to life ... trained personnel rushing to help the injured.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::hops off the bed, looks around, shock visible on her face::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
*Security*: We need people on the double.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Limping.....acknowledged.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::head bleeding from slamming it against an open hatchway when alarms started wailing in Engineering:: ::looks around and sees every monitor in the room alive with flashing lights:: ::knows that even without feeling the impact, that many lights can only mean impact or breach::

ACTION: Red Alert and intruder alert have already sounded.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~ FCO: For the nonce~~~~

ACTION: And security teams move to intercept.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Eyes widen as he realises what just happened:: Self: Argh.

ACTION: And the CMO slides from the big dark blade ... and collapses on the floor.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
*OPS*: Emergency transport, Atreides to.. :: looks about:: biobed three, NOW!

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain, I am reading hull breaches on decks 7 through 10... Forcefields are already in place...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Intruder: Please move away from the doctor.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::listens to the intruder alert:: TO: I want this ship secured, whatever it takes. Have your teams intercept and immobilize this intruder. And go to red alert!

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Slumps onto the floor with a satisfying thud and bleeds onto his nice clean sickbay floor::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks up at the counselor's communication, and presses the appropriate buttons:: *CNS*: Energizing now...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Warn sickbay of incoming causalities

ACTION: The "Black Knight" that impaled the CMO ignores the MO and looks around curiously. His hulking grey brethren breathe heavily, as if not accustomed to the atmosphere.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: Red alert is sounded. Security teams on the way! ::sends out orders::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::with a sigh of relief, he concentrates on moving the Seleya further away::

ACTION: The CMO disappears from the floor, and appears on bio-bed three ... blood pouring from his wound.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
CO: The deuterium station on Deck 10 has been damaged but forcefields are in place.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::was standing watch in the engine room while the chief was on the bridge:: *CEO*: Engineering to Ensign Hume. Sir, the situation just went critical down here. ::ignoring the blood on his forehead as he tries to avoid the milling crowd of engineers flooding to work::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
:: grabs the hypercoagulon from a nearby tray, and a medical tricorder, rushing to biobed 3:: MO: Get a forcefield around that thing.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*CSO*Bridge to Axin, I need your expertise on the bridge

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Glances at the counselor and starts to move toward the CMO to find him gone.::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain, sickbay is one of the hit areas.. I have a vague idea they are aware of the problem... ::Looks at the new data:: I have a casualty report now.. Seven injured on decks 7 through 10... Hang on.. Eight, including our CMO... He's in pretty bad shape..

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CEO: Can you improve engines at this stage?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Turns to look at the counselor and notes the doctor.::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Starts to shiver somewhat::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::nods::OPS: Let medical sort it out. Do we have any idea what those things were?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: doubts it will do any good.::  CPU: Computer, forcefield level 10 around sickbay.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::begins to scan, gives the CMO a shot of trianaline to ease the pain:: CMO: You'll be ok, Paul. You're in good hands.

ACTION: Security arrives in Sickbay, a team of seven personnel get in just before the force field goes up.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*EO*: Understood Ensign, I'll co-ordinate the repair efforts from here, I want you to take Crewman Newman and head to the deuterium station on Deck 10.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Shakes head:: CO: Not a clue... I can't make anything of what little data we have... ::Taps some more buttons to get continuous updates::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::begins searching for a way to manoeuvre around the distortions::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Security: Good timing.  :: Nods to the alien holding the sword.::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*EO*: We can't afford for those containment tanks to breach is that understood?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::forced:: CNS: Where's my MO?

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::requests a report from the security team::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: It’s time we find out. Send a report to Starfleet stating we were attacked

EO Ens Tana says: 
*CEO*: Yes sir. We're moving. Engineering out.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::looks around thinking::All: I want to find out exactly what that was before we leave here...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Cautiously moves back toward the Atreides:: CMO: I am here.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns slightly:: CO: Yes captain.. But first you should know this... We now have subspace distortions inside the ship.. Sickbay to be precise... Whatever hit us, must have entered the ship, and emits these distortions..

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::reviews her scans:: Self: Dammit. :: sees that not only does the CMO have serious internal bleeding, but his stomach and intestines have also been cut open.:: CMO: She's coming. I'm putting you into stasis for now.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Captain, if I go to full impulse, we should be able to get to the edge of the system in about 10 minutes.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CEO: How stable is the ship right now Ensign? If we are attacked again will we cope?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Where is she? I don't want you touc...stasis?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Looks at the counselor and then glances at the reading.::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::leaves the next in line to look over Engineering and looks around for someone he doesn't even know:: Calls: Newman? Crewman Newman? ::sees a head pop up and then waves it over:: Newman: You're with me.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Contact sickbay, someone must be down there that can track what this thing is. If you have the exact coordinates of the device, you can guide one of the medics there

Security 1 says: 
::Yells:: Intruders: Down on the floor, drop your weapon! Now!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CNS: If you can assist me in getting him into the surgery area, I will treat him.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
CO: We'll survive Sir, containment systems are in place. I've got repair crews going to work as we speak.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: How are we doing, any improvement in speed?

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::tapes a few buttons, readying a stasis field around the CMO:: MO: We have perforations in his abdomen, his stomach contents are.. ::glances at her tricorder:: ...what? ::scans again, looks up at the MO and back at her readings:: They're disappearing...

The Black Knight says: 
::Pulls some sort of leather cloth and wipes the CMO's blood off his blade:: ALL: Who is your leader?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
CEO: Very well, the next step is make sure we are not attacked again

EO Ens Tana says: 
::grabs a repair kit and hands another to Newman and then calls out again:: EMMA: Come!

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::wonders why his team hasn’t responded::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Black: Commander Gomes.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
CO: As for engines, the impulse reactor is still online, as for the Warp drive there’s nothing I can do.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: Any news? Perhaps you should go down there yourself

Security 2 says: 
*TO*: Sir, we have the intruders surrounded. They're not surrendering.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Looks to the counselor:: CNS: Disappearing?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods slowly, and taps his badge:: *Sickbay*: Pandora to sickbay.. We are reading severe amounts of subspace radiation in sickbay.. Can you pinpoint a more precise location?

Security 1 says: 
Intruders: Last warning, or we will open fire!

EMMA says: 
::responds to the call and downloads the latest damage report from the computer before unjacking from her charging station and unfolding, putting down her four feet before quickly moving to catch up with Tana::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CEO:  I'm going to bring us to full impulse.  I'll need you to monitor those decks that have been breached.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::compares her two scans and puts them on the screen above CMO's biobed:: MO: Disappearing... ::scans again, and adds that:: MO: See?::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::sits back in her chair worried::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
FCO: Understood Commander.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::engages to full impulse::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume carefully examines internal sensor information on the affected areas::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Quickly reads the information, keeping one eye and ear on the situation around them.  Then looks down at the doctor.::  CMO: How do you feel?

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::looks to the CO:: CO: Sir, they're not surrendering. Permission to use force

ACTION: The Seleya once again begins to move away from Charnok.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Starts to feel hungry::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: Granted!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: But avoid killing if you can

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::looks oddly at the MO, thinking this a surprising question:: MO: Confused?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Could these intruders be the cause of the distortions?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::keeps the Seleya steady as they reach another distortion::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
*SEC*: Get those intruders under control...preferably alive but don't let that stop you should it become necessary.

ACTION: Worried personnel rush past the EO and the Crewman as they move to repair the damage.

Security 1 says: 
*TO*: Aye, sir.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::runs to the small elevator to the upper deck of Engineering, squeezing past the technicians working up there to reach the ladder to the deuterium injector, Newman's steps ringing on the rungs below him::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Gets to work on opening a channel to Starfleet command:: COM: SFC: This is the USS Seleya calling Starfleet Commander. We have arrived at the Charnok system, and have been attacked shortly after arriving... ::Looks at the captain:: CO: Do we request back-up?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CNS: Not necessarily.  Apparently something is assisting him to regenerate.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::looks at the screen and the stars moving:: FCO/CEO: Good work gentlemen

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: They may very well be.. It's as good a guess as any at this stage..

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
MO: I'd like a sandwich...CNS: Be a good girl and make me a sandwich. ::Nods and focuses on something shiny in the distance::

ACTION: The security team opens fire.

EMMA says: 
::rolls back on her haunches and then springs up, grabbing the upper railing and pulling herself up behind them::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Can you get a lock on them?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::looks over at the CEO::  CEO:  Keep up the good work.....we should be out of here shortly.

ACTION: Phaser bursts on stun slam into the Black Knight and his Grey companion. The bursts ripple across the armor with no discernable affect ... the Grey behemoth cringes in pain, crying out each time he is struck.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: At the sound of weapons fire, automatically drops::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Or on whatever is causing the distortions

Grey Behemoth says: 
Black Knight: Father, it hurts!

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
MO: This level of healing is impossible without the aid of regenerators. We've nothing trained on him. ::sets the biobed to run a full, continuous set of scans, for review later::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::presses some commands:: CO: Attempting...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CPU: Computer, Security field around biobed 3.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Sits quietly beside the Captain's chair, staring blankly at the direction of the view screen::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Self: Fine ignore my pain and my munchies and use me as a guinea pig for your next research paper. ::sighs::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Glances around to make sure the rest of sickbay is clear of personal beyond the three of them and security.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::is so used to phaser fire that she hardly winces. Glances around, surveys the situation and concentrates on the patient:: CMO: What do you remember? ::glances at the readings as she asks::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::resists the urge to get up and pace the bridge::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: I remember rye, turkey, lettuce, onions, some kind of relish...

EO Ens Tana says: 
::runs down the corridors of equipment housings to the Deuterium injectors, stopping just short of the massive pump to survey the damage::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
::The doctor out of danger, turns to the pair before them.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Almost to the edge Captain.  Just another five minutes.

The Black Knight says: 
::Is shoved somewhat by the phaser bursts, but isn't affected:: Helmot: Quiet, Helmot! ::He hisses as the Grey figure::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::frowns down at CMO:: CMO; least you haven't lost your bad sense of humour. This is serious.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: Any news?

ACTION: Security stops firing.

Security 2 says: 
*TO*: Sir, the phaser bursts don't have any effect on stun setting.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~ FCO: I believe we have a father and son.  Have the captain keep in mind that parents protecting their young, make the worst kind of enemy~~~~

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: You don't say, you know you have terrible bedside manner. Anyway that guy ::points:: appears out of nowhere and the next thing I know I'm a few feet up in the air with a sword through me.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::wonders why the team is so slow in responding and decides to run some extra drills when this is over::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: Do you think a shuttle could manoeuvre to the planet?

ACTION: The air on the bridge suddenly feels electrified as there is suddenly a brilliant blue burst of light ... and the sound of paper ripping.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*EO*: Whats the situation down there Mr Tana?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain, the communication beacon has acknowledged reception and re-transmission to Starfleet command... Estimated return time for a reply is eight minutes...

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  It should.....but I can't guarantee that.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::looks down to see the cool, slightly milky liquid pooling under their shoes:: Newman: Grab two patches. ::nods to the supply cabinet and pushes past the piping to reach the housing::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Looks around at the sudden unusual sound, and wonders what it is::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: No ma’am, my security team are no...::pauses looking around the bridge::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::gets up and looks around::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::nods, listening:: CMO: And right now? How do you feel right now?

ACTION: Much to the CNS & MO's amazement, the CMO's abdomen closes up from the healing. They are unable to view his internal injury by eye-sight any longer.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::analyses his reply telepathically, but finds it difficult to focus with all the activity around her::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO:  Sierra has stated that she believes these creatures down in sickbay might be that of father and son.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: I feel a little strange but extremely hungry so if you don't mind there's a replicator over there I'm sure the nice man won't stab you.

ACTION: As the blue light fades, five figures remain.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
*SEC*: Then increase power!

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Shakes the Captain's shoulder gently:: CO: Captain. ::Points at the direction of the five figures::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::looks at the figures, wondering why people can't just knock:: Figures: Identify yourselves!

EO Ens Tana says: 
::pulls a tricorder from his waist and looks over the parts, reading for the H30:: *CEO*: Uh... it looks like we have two breaches in the Number 2 Deuterium Tank, sir. A stress crack at the valve and a rupture on the underside.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
*TO*: I do not believe that would be wise.

ACTION: There is a hairless, golden man who stands tall. Sitting on the ground is a humanoid woman with sparkling black hair, she holds a silver-faced child. Next to the gold man is a somewhat shorter purple male ... his hands glowing blue. And hunched over is a ragged woman with gold hair.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: Stun isn't having much affect. ::takes out his phaser and sets it to the highest setting::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::jaw drops, looks at the MO, and back down. Reaches for her trusty tricorder and scans:: CMO: Um...

CSO LtJG Axin says: 
::transfers the data he has to the bridge station, and heads out of stellar cartography following Gomes' command::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::wishes she had her tricorder with her::OPS: Scan them TO: Hold your fire

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Frowns at the figures, wondering who they are, and hoping they will answer the CO's question::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: Aye ma’am. Ready and waiting.

Purple Man says: 
::Looks around:: ALL: We made it to the ship.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::reaches out, touches where the CMO had been injured before withdrawing her hand again:: CMO: All better, it seems. :: eyes him suspiciously::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns in his chair and runs a scan of the bridge::

The Black Knight says: 
::Back in Sickbay:: ALL: WHO is your leader?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::steps up and speaks to the only one who apparently knows how to answer:: Purple man: Indeed you have but you were not invited. Please identify yourselves

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Sure looks like it! Do I get my sandwich now?

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*EO*: Okay, Ensign. I want you to siphon off the Deuterium to the emergency back-up containers. When the second tank is empty then lower the containment field and repair the tank.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Black: I have already answered that question.

CSO LtJG Axin says: 
::enters a TL, apprehensive about heading back to the vessel's nerve centre:: TL: Deck one, Bridge.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Black: I take it you wish to speak with her?

Newman says: 
::pushes into the small space with Tana, bringing two polymetal patches and a plasma welder:: EO: Here you go, sir.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
CMO: Paul. Get your priorities in order.

The Black Knight says: 
MO: Your leader is a female?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Black: Yes, and who do I tell her wishes to speak with her?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: They're fine *dear*, what you see before you is a very hungry man and a medical miracle, so get me something to eat before I have you removed from my sickbay!

EO Ens Tana says: 
::nods unnecessarily:: *CEO*: Aye sir. We'll report when the tank is empty.

ACTION: EMMA draws the EO's attention as "she" has seemingly noticed something. "She" looks in the direction of shadows near the damage.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::keeps an eye on the intruders::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain... I am reading the same subspace distortions here.. Apparently these beings, whoever they are, came through some sort of subspace rift...

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::admires the MO's handling of the knight. Would have tried to hit him long ago::

Arko says: 
::Stands tall:: MO: ARKO, of the Pathfinders.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::stares at the newcomers. Obviously if they wanted to kill anyone they would have done so but why won't they answer?::

Ayg says: 
CO: We are the Pathfinders.

Ayg says: 
CO: We ... are explorers, of a sort.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
*TO*: Where are you?

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume re-routes power from the damaged EPS conduits around the affected areas::

CSO LtJG Axin says: 
::steps out onto the bridge::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::helps Newman stow the patches and is about to move around to the rear of the patches when EMMA starts to beep at him, looks up with a slight frown:: Newman: Start the siphon. I'll be right there. ::changes places with the man and moves back to the bot::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Ayg: You could have asked before bursting into my ship. I am Commander Alexandra Gomes. Are you aware we were attacked?

Oliva says: 
::The woman holding the child speaks up:: CO: That would be the leader of this group ... he has a tendency to make entrances. ::Mumbles:: Fool.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
*TO*: Please send some men down here, the counsellor Suder is severely hindering the operation of sickbay during an emergency, I'd like to have her removed.

EO Ens Tana says: 
EMMA: What is it? ::sees her turn her head again, looking into the shadows and peers into the darkness with her, reaching for his tricorder::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
CMO: Relax, let the biobed monitor you, and shush.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Don't tell me to shush!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Oliva: Yes, but I am afraid his foolishness caused my people to be injured and I don't care for that. What is your purpose on the Seleya?

ACTION: Security is a bit focused on the two intruders in Sickbay to deal with removing the CNS.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CEO:  We've reached the edge of the system.  Please tell me we're able to get warp engines back online.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
*CO*: Commander, one Arko of the Pathfinders desires your attention.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
*CMO*:The CNS? On my way! ::nods to the security officers on the bridge::

Yamas says: 
::The purple one speaks up:: CO: We're here following our father.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
FCO: All readings indicate that we're far enough away from the distortions to generate a subspace field.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Staggers into sickbay, holding his hand over a bleeding head wound and stops dead, looking around. ::  All:  Ok.......

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: Seems there’s a problem in Sickbay. I'm going to get down there. ::heads for the turbolift::

Newman says: 
::squeezes past the tank to the back, flicking on a monitor on the way before pulling off a panel to get at the manual valves for the siphon::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CMO: Actually, she is assisting you.  At the moment, there is little that can be done.  The staff has cleared the area.  There is no way in or out of medical and we are surrounded by a protective forcefield... Stray phaser fire is the pits.

Sayora says: 
::The hunched over, gold-haired woman giggles:: ... father ... fascha ... leader of men ... and insects ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::notices the TO laving the bridge and wonders why would he but then is assured by the fact the armed security is still there::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::glares at the CMO, but continues her scans regardless. Knows her objective isn't wrong::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::briefly interrupts the Captain::  CO:  Captain, I believe we have warp.  Shall I engage?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Yamas: And what would your father want here?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Glares at the MO and wishes Suder would get hit by some stray phaser fire:: TO: Hello!

EO Ens Tana says: 
::retrieves the tricorder from his belt, not wanting to go near the shadows:: Shadows: Is someone there? ::thumbing on the tricorder::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::hopes OPS is getting everything and FCO is getting away::

Oliva says: 
CO: We need help.

Yamas says: 
::Sighs and walks away, peering around at their new environment::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Props himself up on the biobed and studies the intruders::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain, Starfleet has sent a reply... Nothing unexpected... Back-up is 2 hours away..

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
*MO*Lead him to the bridge please. He has some friends here too....

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::nods at OPS:: FCO: stand by please

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: grabs a rag to cover his bleeding forehead and walks over to Kesh. :: CNS:  OK, I need you to give me a lowdown of what the hell’s going on.  :: Taps his combadge. ::  CO:  I’m in sickbay Captain, I'll get this sorted out ASAP.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Arko: My captain would like to speak with you.  Will you and your son come peacefully with me?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::hears the Captain and keeps the Seleya at full impulse::

Yamosays: 
Ayg: Why are we wasting time talking with them? Their technology is interesting. But it's nothing we haven't seen before. Father is clearly wasting his time here.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Spots the XO sighs and collapses back onto the biobed with all his weight::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: What are they?

Oliva says: 
Yamas: Shut up. Lii need help. THAT is why we are here.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Looks over at the first officer.::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::brings his tricorder up and points it int he direction of the shadowed corner::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::looks at the XO outside the biobed 3 forcefield:: XO: Basically, Antreides got skewered by some black-clad humanoid, was transported to this biobed and has healed himself.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::gets to sickbay and see its shut off:: *CMO*: I can't get into Sickbay...you'll have to utilise the security you already have! ::mutters:: bringing me down here for nothing...

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Runs quick diagnostic on the Primary Computer Core on Deck 8 to ensure its undamaged::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::gets back to the bridge and tries to see what he missed::

Arko says: 
::Sheathes his sword:: MO: Of course. ::Seems to not acknowledge the fact he just impaled a member of their crew a little more than half an hour ago::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: points at the "guests" ::  CNS:  And them?

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
XO: At the same time... that figure has been demanding to see the Captain.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CPU: Computer, drop forcefield around biobed 3.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns in his chair and waves his hand at the people:: CO: They are apparently those subspace distortions we detected around the planet... ::Shrugs:: I'm still not entirely sure, though...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: As the field drops, she steps away, aware the CMO is in good hands.::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::the tricorder doesn't register a life sign like he feared, but an energy signature:: Self: What...?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Security: Please lower your weapons.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: I believe these people have something to do with Charnok, that’s the only reason we are not yet light years away

EO Ens Tana says: 
EMMA: Lights.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods then makes his way over to the MO. ::  MO:  This is who the captain wants escorted to the bridge?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CPU: Drop forcefield around sickbay.

Ayg says: 
::Puts a reassuring hand on his wife, Oliva's, shoulder. Tries not to flinch when she pulls away:: Yamas: We are here because it is our duty.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
CMO: Are you in any pain, now, Paul? ::does another tricorder scan of his stomach::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Looks at the XO and nods::

Ayg says: 
OPS: The disruptions were not of our doing.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Yamas: We are a race of explorers as well. I am willing to forget your intrusion and we can talk....and learn from each other

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Shoots up, jumps off the biobed and goes to the nearest replicator:: Computer: The biggest sandwich you have!

EMMA says: 
::activates the lights on her shoulders, dispelling the shadows as Tana moves forward toward the energy signature and the device emitting it::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::steps back:: Self: Obviously not...

Yamas says: 
::Snorts at the CO and peers around::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
XO: If you will let the doctor see to you, I will escort him to the bridge.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Tad of heartburn, but I'll fix that myself.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume finds some data corruption in the secondary core:: Self: I'll have to deal with that later.

Arko says: 
::Waits with Helmot:: MO: Well, are you going to take me or ..?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::scans the device, not touching it:: *CEO*: Tana to Hume. Sir, I've found something unusual in the deuterium injector room. Some sort of device. It's nothing I recognize. Definitely not one of ours.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::growls, files all the data she recorded and looks around::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: looks at the intruders. :: ALL:  I'm the Captains XO, I'll take you to the bridge.   :: Looks back to the MO. :: MO:  Lets go.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::briefly glances at the beings on the bridge but continues to listen to what is being said::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Arko: We are going now... if you will follow me.  :: Nods to security to follow.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::rolls her eyes:: Yamas: As far as I know this is the first time our races have met. You seem to think of us as lowly life forms but since you are here...on a ship we built why not talk? Have you something better to do?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Starts to eat his sandwich eagerly:: MO: I'm sure the counsellor would be more than happy to treat the XO, she's very adept at it.

Arko says: 
::Walks along::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Turns and leads the way out of Sickbay, gives Kesh a quick be careful look as he does. ::

Oliva says: 
CO: My daughter needs help ... where are your medical facilities?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns in his chair, running more analysis of the beings::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*EO*: Understood Ensign, don't touch it. I'm on my way.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Glances at the XO to make sure he will not collapse on them and enters the nearest lift, stepping far to the back.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Coming up with anything conclusive?

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::returns the look and sighs::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Self: Or he could just collapse because he's bleeding from a massive head wound...

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Shakes head:: FCO: Heh, not at all... The computer can't make much of it.. And neither can I...

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Oliva: Currently occupied by one of yours. I will be glad to help if you are willing to talk

EO Ens Tana says: 
*CEO*: Aye sir. Standing by. Tana out.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::grabs a portable scanner, sets it to CMO's bio readings and walks up to him::

Oliva says: 
CO: You are a healer?

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
MO: Just don't let him fall on top of you he looks heavy!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Takes a deep breath as a couple of security officers make their way in, the son a bit on the bulky side.::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume hastily heads for the nearest turbolift::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: eyes the Black Knight suspiciously, but remains silent. ::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
TL: Deck 10

ACTION: As the force-field lowers, and Arko and company exit, the ship's school teacher comes in with some of the children under her care. She looks quite worried.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Oliva: I’m afraid not, and even our healers might not understand your physiology, unless you explain it to us. What happened to your child?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::looks over the readings again, trying to divine what the device is when he's suddenly jolted out of his reverie by a loud sloshing, sucking sound::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Maybe we'll get more answers if these beings decide to talk.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
TL:  Bridge

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Turns to face Suder and goes back to munching on his sandwich::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Captain.. I need to correct my previous statement.. These beings are actually different from the subspace radiation around the planet.. Their signatures don't match...

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
CMO: I want you to wear this for 24 hours. I'm not convinced this healing is natural. ::holds out the scanner::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: FCO: I hope so...

Newman says: 
EO: Siphon's done, sir. We can get to the patches and th... ::looks up at the strange scene of the officer and his robot standing looking at a device::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Are they also different from the two intruders in sickbay?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Just before the lift doors close, she notes the children::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Turns in his chair to tap the console:: CO: Checking..

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Neither am I, but what am I going to do? Apart from running tests and seeing what happens.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Swiftly they arrive at the bridge and she waits for the others to step off.::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Steps out of TL on Deck 10 and heads down a corridor to the Deuterium Injector Assembly::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Waits a few moments as the decks streak by, and then leads the way onto the bridge. ::  CO:  Captain, reporting as ordered.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
CMO: Surely you know that, as a doctor, the more information you have on a case the better. :: goes to place to scanner on the back of CMO's neck gently::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Arrives at the Deuterium station::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
XO :How are things in sickbay?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::senses Sierra's presence and briefly looks back to see if she is okay::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
EO: What have we got Ensign?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
CO: Computer confirms, we are dealing with the same beings across the ship...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Steps off the lift, her eyes going to Ethan::

Oliva says: 
CO: Ever since we entered this ... place. This plane of existence, she has slipped into a coma. I have the power to heal anything and everything. I cannot help her.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
CNS: Yup, but right now I'm more concerned with eating this sandwich before I'm unlucky enough to land on another sword or this wound to reopen and spill my guts all over you.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::fascinated by EMMA but has to concentrate on the job at hand::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::Tana, Newman and EMMA simultaneously turn their heads in Hume's direction when he comes in:: CEO: I don't know...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
CO/XO: This is Arko.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Things got a little interesting down there I see.~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
CO: A little chaotic, Atreides seems to be a bit out of his mind, but other than that, the usual injuries and such when someone attacks your ship.  :: Looks back over at the intruders, not pleased at all. :: CO:  Any idea what they want?

Belinda Honey says: 
CMO: Doctor, with the attack and chaos ... I was afraid for the children's safety, so I chose to bring them here. If that is okay?

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::frowns, puts the scanner on the CMO's neck and notices something out of the corner of her eye::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::stands quietly monitoring the intruders, ever ready::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Arko: Captain Gomes and Commander Aan.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: Did you learn anything from them? I want to know if we can immobilize them

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
Teacher: Everything ok?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Oliva: Then why did you come?

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume crouches down next to Tana::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Belinda: That's perfectly fine, any injuries?

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Examines the device and motions for Tana's tricorder::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::looks to the CO:: CO: We learned that set on stun our phasers do nothing.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::hands it over without a word::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Glances around the bridge to see if she is needed here.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO: But force fields do ....

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
XO: Any serious injured?

CEO Ens Hume says: 
Self: Right, let’s see what we've got.

Arko says: 
CO: You are the leader.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
EO: You're right, this is definitely not federation technology.

ACTION: All the others, except for Oliva and her daughter, move to their apparent leader.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: Based on the fact we had our shields raised when they came on board I'd say they're not that useful

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
CO:  I saw a few, I was a little out of sorts myself, but it doesn’t look like it.  We dodged the bullet this time.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: So they are one big happy family camping on my ship! ::looks around them, starting to finally get annoyed::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
EO: Have you ever see anything like this?

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::steps over to the children and smiles warmly, hunkering down to their level:: Kids: I'm Kesh'. What are your names?

Belinda Honey says: 
CNS / CMO: We're all fine. But Miss Jackie here ::Gestures to a young girl:: did seem to have some coughing and a fever during class.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Quickly steps back as a group of rather unusual appearing strangers approach Arko and his son.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::moves up to Arko::Arko: Yes I am. I am assuming you are their leader. What do you want?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Flanks the Captain, keeping an eye on the Black Knight. ::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::shakes head:: CEO: Not remotely. And I actually had the chance to do some minor work on a Tholian freighter, once.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Belinda: Poor thing, take her to one of the free biobeds and I'll take a look. ::Waves awkwardly at the children::

Arko says: 
CO: I am Arko. We are the Pathfinders. We are explorers from a realm beyond your own. We have come here to learn of your culture and your peoples, and mean you no harm.

Belinda Honey says: 
CMO: Of course, Doctor, thank you. ::Guides Jackie to a bio-bed::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods towards the Black Knight. :: Arko:  Hell of a way of showing it.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
EO: I don't like this one bit.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*CO*: Sir, we may have a problem down here.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Her eyes settle on one of the strangers and she slowly moves toward them.::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Takes his tricorder out and scans the child::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Self: finally some sense. Arko: I am commander Gomes of the Federation

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
XO: See what the CEO wants

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
:: gets a small chorus of names. Looks up at Belinda:: Belinda: I'll look after the others. Don't worry.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Hears the Captains COM.:  Co:  I'll take care of that.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Arko: I understand you mean no harm but you have caused a serious hull breach and several injured among my people

Belinda Honey says: 
CNS: Thank you, Counselor. ::Smiles::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CEO*:  This is the XO, what’s the problem?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Olivia: Is your child asleep?

Oliva says: 
::Shakes her head:: MO: No. I do not know what is wrong. I am the healer of the Pathfinders. I know any and all ills of the places we have gone to. I cannot discern this.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::nods to Belinda before turning to look at the small group again:: Kids: Hands up who's been in sickbay before?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::newman moves to get a closer look and Tana reaches out to stop him, shaking his head:: Newman: We don't know what that is..

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*XO*: Sir, I'm in the Deuterium Station on Deck 10 with some of my team and we've found something that doesn't belong here.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Looks over the humanoid child, her skin silver, her hair a shimmering black.::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Olivia: Will you come back to our medical facilities with her?  Perhaps we might be able to assist.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Takes a new look at the sensor data they gathered so far::

Oliva says: 
MO: Of course. ::Looks to her husband Ayg, but sees he is merely standing with his father. Sighs, and takes up her child, moving along with the MO::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Arko: I have a few questions for you before we begin formal negotiations. Were you on the planet Charnok....the one whose orbit we just left? What happened there?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CEO*:  Alright, give the details.  :: Moves away from the CO so as not to disturb them. ::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
*XO*: It's some kind of device, most definitely not Federation in origin.

Arko says: 
CO: Exploration causes damage. Is there somewhere we can sit? We have come long ... and require rest.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Sends a look to Ethan as she passes him and into the turbolift.::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::sees one or two hands going up among the group:: Kids: Very good! Can you tell me what this is? ::holds out her tricorder, glancing back at the CMO to make sure he's not taking off the scanner::

Gold Haired Woman says: 
::Giggles at the TO:: ... gold and red ... ever so dead ...

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
Belinda: Keep her entertained, I'm gonna get an antiviral agent. ::Goes to a cupboard scratching his neck::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  If anyone can find what's wrong with that child, it would be you.~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
Arko: Certainly ::points to her ready room door:: Arko: In there CIV/TO: Please escort our guests to my ready room

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*CEO*:  Alright, I'm on my way, try to ascertain what it is. XO out.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::steps forward and indicates the RR to the "guests"::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~ FCO: Flattery will not get you out of making dinner tonight.~~~~ :: Humour in her mental voice::

Emma says: 
::stands dutifully with her lights on the device::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: As the lift doors close, she orders it down to sickbay.:: Olivia: Tell me everything you can.

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Returns still scratching close to the scanner and gives the child a shot:: Child: There you'll be all better soon! And you might even miss a few days of school.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::gets only confused looks:: Kids: Is it... a banana? ::is rewarded with a few "Noo's"::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
Newman: Mr Newman, I'm sure Ensign Ydren could use a hand with repairs, report to her in Main Engineering please.

Arko says: 
::Leads the pack, stepping into the indicated room::

Ayg says: 
::Hesitates and watches his wife depart with their child, then follows his father ... the leader::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
FCO: You have the bridge. OPS, keep those sensors working and try contacting Charnok

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
CO: Understood.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Moves back over to the CO, watches as the intruders file into the ready room and pulls her aside. ::  CO:  The Chief found some kind of device embedded into the ship, it may be one of those orbs that attacked us, or something our friends there brought with them.  I'm headed down there now.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::follows the guests into the Ready Room::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
TO/CIV: You stay with me, asks for 3 more security to come along

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
Kids: Is it... my nose? ::"Noooo":: Kids: No? Well, if this isn't my nose, where is it?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Hopefully the Captain will return with some answers from these being.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume gives Newman an appreciative smile and motions him to the door::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::gives a nod for the security to hurry it up::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Listens as the lift take them down to sickbay::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
OPS: Keep an eye on me ::is the last one in her own room::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: CO: Aye captain. ::Taps a few buttons, opening a channel to the planet, and waits for confirmation of reply::

CMO Dr Atreides says: 
::Removes the scanner to scratch his neck properly:: Self: Stupid things always irritate my skin.

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::positions the security around the room and takes up a position near the COs desk::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::watches Newman leave and looks at Hume:: CEO: Do you want me to go too?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::sits at her desk and offers the couches to the guests. assumes the CIV, the TO and secs will stay up::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Moves into the TL. :: TL: Deck 10.

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
::sees the small group point to her face:: Kids: Well done. You're a clever bunch. ::smiles, glancing back at Belinda::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::has a sore tush and doesn't want to sit down::

Oliva says: 
MO: There's not much to say ... we came from a different realm, one where they breathed energy. She was fine there. When we breached here ... so slipped into the coma. It has never happened before.

CEO Ens Hume says: 
EO: No, I'd like you to stay. Just thought things might get a little crowded down here.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::looks back to the device, careful to keep on the other side of the robot::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps off the TL and onto Deck 10. ::

TO Ens Redwood says: 
::is interested to hear what’s going on::

CEO Ens Hume says: 
::Hume scratches his head in confusion::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Keeps an eye on the captain's signature, as ordered, while waiting for a response from the planet::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
Oliva: Do you have a recording of her original bio readings before and during?  I will scan for the after and do a comparison.  Also, I need to know what kind of energy.  :: Leads them from the lift and through the double glass doors.::

CNS LtCmdr Suder says: 
Kids: Well, I see Miss Honey is ready to go. Come and visit us again, won't you? ::gets a few nods and smiles, standing up:: Belinda: I don't know how you keep this up...

ACTION: While the crew tries to deal with the new predicament ... we come to focus on a figure hidden in shadow, who is watching a screen. On the screen is the EO & CEO peering at the viewer ... clearly looking into a recording device that is hidden in the object they found ...

The Viewer says: 
::Grumbles:: Oh, no.
