Host CO_Farrel says:
Captain's log stardate 10402.27.  The Artemis is holding position beside two of the coral ships.  Neither side has made a move in four hours.  At this point I have decided to risk contact.  All of my logs and the sensors records have been uploaded and sent to Starfleet command should the unthinkable happen...

Host SM_Sergio says:<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin "Double Trouble" part 5>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_Mea`e says:
::In sickbay, checking up on her elderly Vulcan.::

CTO_Peters says:
::At tactical keeping a close eye on the coral ships.::

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice> ::Running continuous scans on the ship, so far coming up with nothing.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::sitting centre chair, considering the view on screen before her like a chess board:: CSO: Lt., is there any known way to collapse a black hole?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Both ships are still holding position

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::on the bridge at an engineering panel::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One of the ships starts moving, propelled by its black hole, and moves to position itself on the opposite direction from the Artemis as the first ship

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Noting the Vulcan still slept restlessly, not sure whether to wake him or not.::  *CSO*:  If you have a moment, I would like you to check in with me.

CTO_Peters says:
::Grumbles under her breath.:: CO:  You know Ma'am, these guys really know how to play the waiting game.  errrrr wait..something is happening..

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::looks over at the CO and then at the CSO.. but goes back to adjusting engineering things::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  One of the ships is on the move...

Host CO_Farrel says:
FCO: Helm, back us off...nice and slow...

CSO_KTor says:
::Sitting at Science 1 monitoring the situation:: CO: Well... frankly sir, no. Nobody's ever been able to really do anything with a singularity besides the Romulans who use them for power supplies, and they can never be turned off.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Talking to the sleeping Vulcan, working through a thought::  K'Tor:  You know, I just thought of something.  If you are here and now, then something has changed.  For the first time the ship went down, your ship, you were not here.  Or I would have found that genetic material...

CSO_KTor says:
*CMO*: I'm a little busy right now doctor, but I'll drop by as soon as I have some time.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The second coral ship has managed to reach midpoint of its circle to its final position. The other ship matches the Artemis' speed, keeping its distance.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: What if...we were to target the black holes right at the moment when the coral ships began to "form" them...could we possibly collapse one at that moment?

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CSO*:  Good enough.  Mea'e out.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::pauses at what she is doing that thinks.. tapping her finger on the padd in her hand::

CTO_Peters says:
::Slyly locks onto the coral ships just in case...doesn't hurt to be ready.::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: That's possible. We've never observed them forming in response to anything except collapsing stars, so... it's a question of how they are actually created.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Also sir, there's some other information... I've learned from the other K'Tor's memories.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: if they are creating a black hole.. it can't be a 'real' black hole.. maybe a rip in subspace or a series of spinning particles that they can excellerate tot he point of gravitational pull on all forms of reality.. umm..

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The second coral ship has reached its point on the other end of the Artemis, and is matching the Artemis' course and speed exactly

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Work on setting up an algorithm that will detect the black holes right when they are forming, and automatically set a torpedo lock on them.  Target the event horizon.  But do not fire without my permission...

CMO_Mea`e says:
~~~~CO:  Just a thought to add to the rest of the mix... you know, I did not find any biomatter of K'Tor's.  We only have K'Tor himself.  Just a thought to add to the headache of time paradoxes.~~~~

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Both ships are now matching our speed Ma'am.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: What did you learn?

CSO_KTor says:
::Begins calibrating sensors to set up the targeting program, then turns back to the captain::

Host CO_Farrel says:
~~~CMO: Alright, keep me posted~~~

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::looks at the CO and then at the CSO and thinks that’s a bad idea::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Are you still detecting a "life reading" inside the coral ship?

CSO_KTor says:
CO: I received three images while I was asleep... the most significant, I think, was that I was alone on the ship's auxiliary bridge. I saw myself jettisoning the warp nacelles and deflector dish, and setting up a crash-landing.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Fascinating... ::Secretly chilled::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Aye Sir... it's still there...  ::Double checks to make sure.::  I can also tell you now that it's humanoid.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::With nothing further needing her attention in sickbay, she turns it over to Paris and heads for the bridge.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Target hailing frequencies towards the coordinates of the humanoid lifeform.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Other than that sir, I saw a funeral and a strange view of myself running through the wreckage of the Artemis, apparently running away from something.

CSO_KTor says:
::Continues working on the targeting program::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Nods to K’Tor, wondering whose caskets he saw...::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: sir if you fire at the event horizon.. all you’re going to do is feed it energy.. you will have to disrupt the spin mechanism of the energy matrix to stop its formation.. 

CTO_Peters says:
::Continues to scan both ships.::  CO:  As a matter of fact Ma'am..both ships have the lifeform...hmmmm bipedal by what the scans say.  I'm sending out the standard Federation greeting now.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Thank-you, how can we disrupt the spin mechanism of the energy matrix?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : At the same time, both ships start moving towards the Artemis at a fast speed.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: that depends if it's occurring in space, hyper space, or subspace.. 

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Theorize for this situation

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Ma'am!  The ships have sped up... They are heading right towards us.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: One more thing sir, I just remembered... after finalizing the crash-landing parameters, I looked at the auxiliary viewscreen... there was nothing. Only blackness. No stars or any other source of light.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Secondary black holes form on the tip of each ship that is pointing to the Artemis.

Host CO_Farrel says:
FCO: Helm, take us straight up in between them and us, full impulse!

CMO_Mea`e says:
::As the turbolift stops at the bridge, she steps off::  ~~~~CO:  Thought I would throw some more anomalies in the mix and check those findings up here.  Since apparently I was not here before.~~~~  ::Smiles and walks over to science station 2::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Artemis starts feeling the pull of gravitational forces.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Engine output to real speed ratio is reduced.

CTO_Peters says:
::Cursing.::  CO:  We have more black holes forming.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: well if it's in subspace, then extending the warp field should through it off and cause it to spin off axis and explode in chaos.. if it's in hyper space.. then anti-matter might do it.. overloading it's forming matrix and cause an implosion..

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The ships keep shortening their distance to the Artemis

CSO_KTor says:
::Examines a sensor reading:: CO: Gravimetric shear is increasing sir.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: but if it's in space space.. well... I don't know..

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Extend the warp field to disrupt the matrix!

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Taking note of the situation, she wonders if only her death would change.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The ships are keeping the Artemis in between their approach vectors.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Pulls up the data of the coral unit.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Pales:: CO: Ma'am... they are trying to trap us!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Shield generators are showing signs of stress from the proximity of the black holes

CSO_KTor says:
CO:  The last time sir! We fired the probe, and it ran away... I theorize we fed it and it became full. Perhaps we can buy ourselves time if we "feed" these two ships!

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Tap into the subspace relay, make it look like a fleet of federation ships are closing on the coral ship's position from behind!

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Aye sir. Preparing the relay station. ::Starts setting up a transmission sequence program::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: it looks like they have to hold formation  for this to work.. can we force them to move and disrupt the .. ::extends the warp field into the black hole region::

Host CO_Farrel says:
FCO: As soon as their hold on us is disrupted, break us free

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : From one of the ships comes a mass of glowing red mass, ejected by one of the creatures attached to its hull.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::keeps working:: CSO: the.. oh what was I gonna say.. rotation matrix!

CSO_KTor says:
EO: Actually, it doesn't look like we can move *fast* enough to disrupt them.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Shields buckles under the stress.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  We are under attack permission to fire!

CSO_KTor says:
::Transmits the signal generation program to the relay station:: CO: Relay station activated sir.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The red mass connects with the Artemis hull

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: can we dump some anti-matter... oops

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Fire all weapons

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO:  target5 the ship in front of us

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Firing all weapons... torpedos away.. phasers firing.  ::Fingers fly over her console.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
Odd...  CSO:  Not to distract you, but according to this, the coral itself is alive.  Plus it has creatures attached to it... however... It is not natural.

Host CO_Farrel says:
*All decks* Red alert, take emergency stations!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : A warning blare comes from tactical. The hull integrity on the area of the ship where the red mass connected is decreasing.

CSO_KTor says:
CMO: Not natural? Do you mean, artificial?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CMO: nice.. a bio-weapon.. how can we kill it?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Yes... grown.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The torpedoes and phaser fire are deflected by the black holes in front of the ships.  They disappear into them

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  We are loosing hull integrity on deck... ::Checks her sensors::

CSO_KTor says:
CMO: Any ideas why doctor?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::thinks:: radiation won't work.. energy might but we don't know what kind.. cold.. heat... water maybe?

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Deck... 4....

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Launch a probe towards each of the coral ships....and what's the status of that fake fleet?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks from the CSO to EO::  All: Make it sneeze?  CSO:  I don't suppose you can get me a sample?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : There comes a warning sign of a breached hull where the mass connected.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: can we arm some torpedoes with heavy salt water? maybe we can cause some tissue damage to that thing?

CSO_KTor says:
CO: The relay station is online. Preparing a probe now. CMO: Doctor, I don't think that will be very possible. ::Fires a probe at the ship ahead of us::

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Probe away sir.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Is the extended warp field having any effect?

CSO_KTor says:
EO: I don't know what that would accomplish, but we certainly *can* do it.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: or maybe alcohol... some nice sour vodka...

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One of the ships increases its forward black hole, while the other eases the front one off, and approaches the Artemis until it is right next to the breach in the hull

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: doesn't look that way... guess they are not forming in sub-space..

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The probe gets sucked into the larger black hole.

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  If it is biological, it must eat something.  And it has weaknesses, but I don't have much data here or perhaps time to create something to give it... hmmm... indigestion.  Something that would upset the balance somehow?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks at the sensors...:: FCO: Keep the hull breach turned away from the corals ships!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The second ship attaches itself to the Artemis hull with a thud, right on top of the breach

CSO_KTor says:
CMO: We need more data before we can possibly give it indigestion... or do we?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::thinks.. spin causes gravity.. so what we need is counter spin.. eerrppp:: CO: sir! hull impact!!

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Weapons are not having any effect Ma'am..  Ma'am!  The ship has attached itself to us...  ::Contacts security teams::  We may be boarded... Security on its way.

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods to Rice.::  Rice:  Get down there!

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: what is it doing?  full readings?

CSO_KTor says:
CMO: After all, most humanoid life forms can eat only a very small fraction of the number of compounds in the universe.

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice> ::Races off before Zoe even finishes.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Engine power is stressing the hull integrity, since the black hole from the front ship is countering the Artemis' impulse

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  I don't have enough info on these creatures.  But... if it is attached.  Maybe I can get my samples now?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: are you saying they plan to eat us?

CSO_KTor says:
EO: That's possible. But if we or our ship is what they eat, they must be allergic to something.

CSO_KTor says:
All: How about a tiny charge of antimatter?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: like what? a Vulcan was left.. copper blood maybe?

CMO_Mea`e says:
CSO:  Most species can not digest any of the liquid metals.  They are  poisons that normally build up in a system over time... but if given at once...  perhaps.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The bio sign is moving fast through the bulkheads.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Do it

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Heading straight to sickbay.

CMO_Mea`e says:
EO:  There are other Vulcans aboard.

CTO_Peters says:
::Activates the intruder alert.::  CO:  Ma'am... I'm reading an alien life form on board from where the breach is located.  And it's moving fast..  my teams are having a hard time keeping up...  ::Checks again::  It's heading for sickbay!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : After passing through a few bulkheads, it reaches Sickbay

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CMO: oh.. right.. err 

CTO_Peters says:
::Taps her console:: Rice:  Get to sickbay now!

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Move teams to intercept...if we fire a deflector pulse at the ship in front of us, would we survive the explosion?

CSO_KTor says:
::Starts programming a probe to carry a jar of antimatter to the coral ship::

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> *CMO*:  Get down here... there is something entering sickbay...

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I have no idea Ma'am... nothing is normal here...

CMO_Mea`e says:
All:  Trouble in sickbay...

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::watches the tactical sensory, science sensors and then looks at the ship's internal diagnostics.. watching the energy spikes and trying to get an idea of what kind of energy it is..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Dashes to the turbolift.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
Computer, emergency transport to sickbay.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The creature heads for K'Tor, and picks him up, heading in the opposite direction as soon as she does.

CTO_Peters says:
::Reports flooding her console.::  CO:  Ewwwww!  This thing is eating though our bulkheads... the teams are reporting acid holes... it walked through the walls.

Host CO_Farrel says:
~~~CMO: La'i be careful~~~

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Isolate sickbay with a forcefield...

CSO_KTor says:
CO: The antimatter bomb is ready sir. Targeting and fire control are at Lt. Peters' command.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::grumbles:: well they use some kind of strong acid.. so that’s out..

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Do it.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The creature is described as having some kind of hard shell around it. Some kind of armor maybe.

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice> ::Barges into sickbay at full run.:: Alien:  HALT!  ::Holds out phaser::

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> *CMO*:  That creature has taken the Vulcan...

CTO_Peters says:
::Fingers fly::  CO:  Force field activated.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION :The creature takes its hands to its side, then throws a few things in rice's Direction.

CMO_Mea`e says:
~~~~CO:  It would appear trouble is taking K'Tor.~~~~  ::Steps from the turbolift and dashes to sickbay.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
A few connect, sending him to the ground, with gashing wholes in each wound.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The creature continues on

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice>  ::Falls to the floor screaming::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The creature walks through the forcefield

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  For heaven sakes Sir... nothing is stopping this thing....

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Stops before Rice.::  MO:  Paris, take care of him.  ::Stands and looks at the creature.::  Coral:  Wait...

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The creature reaches its ship, and re-enters it, leaving the Artemis' internal sensor net

CTO_Peters says:
*CMO*:  Ma'am... why is this creature burning holes in the bulkheads but can pick up living tissue without harming it?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::clears her mind, seeing no options...and tries to touch minds with the alien lifeform she can sense inside the ship.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CTO*:  I don't know... but it appears your forcefields can't hold it.  One of your men are down and it has left back for its ship.

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice>  ::Continues to scream in horrible pain.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The coral ship detaches.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: it's out.. can't get a reading .. must be off the decks

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  The ship is detaching.... ::Slams her fist down onto the console.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Is jolted from her meditations:: FCO: Can we move?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Pauses at the opening of the breach to stare out at it.::  Well, that would answer why his biomatter was not found amongst the wreckage.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Transport him back...

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION :The second ship's front black hole shrinks.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I’m trying to lock on!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The ships move away, heading out of the system

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::watches the science sensors as the energy out put from the alien ship dies off..::

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> ::With help, gets the security officer onto a biobed.::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I've got a lock...  ::Activates transport::  Transporting now..

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks over surprised:: CTO: That was easy...

CTO_Peters says:
<Rice> ::Grabs a hole of Paris finger nails digging into his arm::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::gets the security video up from the aliens' walk through the ship and starts looking over the footage::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  A little too easy I agree.

CSO_KTor says:
CO: I recommend raising level 10 force fields around the transporter pad and the transporter room.

CMO_Mea`e says:
~~~~CO:  The creature has K'Tor.  There was nothing we could do to stop the... well, think of a large crab with armor of smaller creatures... perhaps some symbiosis.~~~~

Host CO_Farrel says:
CSO/ CTO: Follow K'Tor's precaution..

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Y essss!  I got him.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::watches the alien walk through a force field and folds her arms::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Makes her way back to Sickbay.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Ships turn around, and re-engage their black holes to slow the Artemis

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Pauses:: *CTO*:  I need you to lower the forcefield around sickbay.

Host CO_Farrel says:
~~~CMO: I don't understand...why is it so ruthless?  incommunicative?~~~

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Both ships are also firing red masses, aimed at the Artemis' Nacelles.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: umm force fields didn't work last time sir.. ::points to the screen and the action only moments ago::

CTO_Peters says:
*CMO*:  They are lowered.

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> ::With tongs, begins to take off the bugs with a shudder.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Fires back on the alien ships.::

CSO_KTor says:
CO/EO: Well... *nothing* worked last time.

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CTO*:  than, you.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Target those red masses with phasers and torpedoes and destroy them!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : For every shot the Artemis fires, small black holes form to engulf them

Host CO_Farrel says:
FCO: Evasive action...

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One of the lava shots misses due to the evasive, but the other connects.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: recommend we use anti-matter on the black holes..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps into sickbay::  ~~~~CO:  It did not hurt the Vulcan, only stopped one of our people from interfering.  It did not hurt Paris or me.~~~~

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, that antimatter bomb is still ready. Peters has firing control.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: how?

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Fire the anti matter bomb at them..

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: the Vulcan’s bombs.. how else..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks at what Sarah is doing::  MO:  That looks nasty...

CSO_KTor says:
::Uploads the programs into another two probes, just in case::

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> CMO:  It is... they are secreting some form of acid.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: sir.. nacelle impact.. energy drain.. looks like it's going to rupture... err.. messy.. closing off access to warp field generator.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Contain it as best you can...

CMO_Mea`e says:
::nods and reaches to grab a hypo, adjust for a sedative and over injects Rice.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: right nacelle off line.. compensating now....

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, in my dream, I saw myself on the auxiliary bridge jettisoning the nacelles. This could be why.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : More lava shots are fired onto the Artemis, aimed at the other nacelle, and The top of the warp core.

CTO_Peters says:
::Continues her firing sequences::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Beam him back!  quickly!

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: ahh! warp core disruption! we are losing the field!

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I have him Sir...!  Got him a few minutes ago.

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: No beam him off the ship, back to them!

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Two of the lava shots are destroyed by phaser fire, but two connect with the top of the Artemis.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : More Hull integrity alarms blare.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  What are you crazy!!!!?  ::Does what she is told anyway.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
ALL: impact.. decks 2.. 3.. hull damage reported.. 

Host CO_Farrel says:
Uhh.. ::Falls forward and pushes arms out to support herself:: CTO: There is nothing we can do...engage

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Staunches the wounds as each 'bug' is removed.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Activates transport and sends K'Tor back>::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : As K'Tor is beamed back to the Coral ship, the two ships disengage, and turn to leave again.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Are emergency forcefields holding in the ruptured sections?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::scrambling to contain the damage to the ship remotely::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Takes some of the samples and gives them to Dorsey.::  Tech:  I want these analyzed STAT.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: so far so good.. areas have been evacuated just to be safe.. warp core has taken damage.. only operating at 73%..

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : As soon as they exit the system, The coral ships go to warp

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Is the Starboard nacelle repairable?

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> CMO:  That is the last of them... ugh.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CO: don't know till I get down there to have a look.. but from readings there is no major radiation leaks or material leakage.. so right now I would say it's an 80-20 on the plus sir of yes..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods as she uses the autosuture to close the many wounds.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
<sir -side>

CMO_Mea`e says:
MO:  Here finish this.  I will take the rest of these to the science lab.  The two departments can have fun.

Host CO_Farrel says:
EO: Good...do your best to get warp drive back...

CMO_Mea`e says:
<MO Paris> ::Takes the autosuture::  CMO:  Looks like things have calmed down.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: there's some funky material in the nacelle.. you want to take a look?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Puts the creatures in a containment field and glances at the biobed.::  MO:  So it would seem.

CSO_KTor says:
EO: Is it alive?

Host CO_Farrel says:
::sighs and sits back, relieved the ship doesn't seem permanently damaged::  CSO: K'Tor your new project is to analyze all traces of itself the alien left behind, I want to know everything we can about it.  Work with Doctor La'i.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: I don't know.. sensors are not working very well in that section due to damage.. 

CSO_KTor says:
CO: Aye sir. I'll start with the material Gentry detected in the nacelle.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::nods::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Makes her way to the science lab::  *CSO*:  I gave my team some samples of... bugs that our unwanted guest left behind.  I am taking a batch now to your department.

CSO_KTor says:
::Heads to the turbolift:: Computer: Deck 7

Host CO_Farrel says:
*shipwide* All hands stand-down red alert, but maintain yellow alert status.

CSO_KTor says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged. I'm heading to the nacelle to get a sample of the material left behind there.

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CSO*:  I will join you there with another containment field after I drop these off.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Entering sickbay, she hands her present over and informs the lab techs what she wanted.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Sighs as she gets the damage reports from throughout the ship. Great just great... no emitters...now shields...zippo..nadda... zilch.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Reaches into a cabinet and grabs an empty containment field.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::looks over her shoulder as she senses frustration from Zoe.::  CTO: What?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Taking the nearest turbolift, ::  Computer, deck 7.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks up at the Capt.::  CO: Emitters are gone... no shields.. nacelles kaput..we are almost dead in the water Ma'am... If they come back we are toasted.

CSO_KTor says:
::Falls back against the wall of the turbolift, eyes wide, he gasps in pain::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Reaches over to rub the back of her neck.  She did not like how things were progressing.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
CTO: I think even with full systems we would be toast...add shields as priority number two to engineering’s repair list, number one remains warp drive.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::think she should go after the CSO.. she wanted to ask him some personal questions about wearing a tu-tu during pon-far as part of the ritual battle..::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Aye Ma'am...  ::Sends a message to Engineering::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::takes her pad and checks to see where the CSO is.. then goes after rim::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Everything about these lifeforms eludes her...she couldn't even sense or read him telepathically...::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Notes she is dropped off at another exit and steps through to meet the CSO.::

CSO_KTor says:
::The doors open just as the vision ends, and K'Tor staggers out of the lift and leans against a wall::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::uses the maintenance access to follow the CSO.. to deck 7::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Stands and wofts away from stray steam from a small conduit rupture.:: All: I'll be in my ready room.  ::Storms off the bridge into her office::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Arriving at the area of the turbolift, looks around for the science officer.::  Odd... he should have made it before me.  *CSO*:  K'Tor, I have arrived.  Have you been delayed?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::comes out of a panel and around the corner to the turbo lift and trips over the CSO's out stretched foot and fits the floor face first::

CTO_Peters says:
::Taken aback by the Capt's abrupt departure.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Sits behind her desk and access the security tapes on her desktop.  She pauses the image as the camera catches the face of the alien.  His eyes seem to look directly to her.::  What are you... ::Sitting back, considering::

CSO_KTor says:
*CMO*: I'll be in engineering in just a moment doctor.

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CSO*:  Understood.

CSO_KTor says:
::Holds out a hand for Gentry:: EO: Are you alright?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: you really shouldn't set an ambush like that.. ::takes his hand and feels her nose bleed::

CSO_KTor says:
EO: Ambush? I was only standing here.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Access the camera's from the hull breach.  From one angle she can almost see inside the coral ship.:: computer, magnify grid nine-G and enhance... ::She attempts to get a look inside the alien's ship::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: suuurrreee you was.. ::checks her nose to see if it's broke:: anyway.. you wanted to see the goo in the nacelle right?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks around as she waits, glancing around at the harried looking engineers dashing around.::

CSO_KTor says:
EO: That's where I was headed, as is the doctor.

CSO_KTor says:
EO: I really should get going.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: goody.. ::wipes the blood on her sleeve and looks at the CSO:: by all means lets.. so what are you doing next shoreleave?

CMO_Mea`e says:
<delete: glancing around at the>

CSO_KTor says:
::Walks along with Gentry:: EO: I haven't decided.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: that’s good.. then I'll think of something.. 

CSO_KTor says:
EO: You will think of something?

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: Good then it's a date

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps through into engineering:: CMO: We're here.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CMO/CSO: the nacelles are this way

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Glances around::  CSO:  And I am ready ::Lifts the containment field.::  Do you have any idea what it is we are collecting?  ::Nods at the EO::

CSO_KTor says:
EO: Very well. I look forward to... whatever it is.

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Looks at the magnified image.  She can't see inside the coral ship, but she sees a black membrane covering the opening.  The alien walks through it easily with K'Tor...::  *CMO**CSO* Doctor, Lt., I've been analyzing the camera logs, and there is a membrane where the alien ship breached the hull as well.  It seems it was used as an entrance flap to his bioship...

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Follows::

CSO_KTor says:
::Follows the EO:: CMO: Not really.

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Rather like an airlock?

CSO_KTor says:
CMO: We don't even know if it's alive or not.

Host CO_Farrel says:
*CMO* that's what I’m thinking yes

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::takes then tot he damaged areas and has everyone get into EVA suites before proceeding::

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  I have a question for you.  Every thing about it appears to be biological.  How did it get through our forcefield and with the Vulcan, intact?

Host CO_Farrel says:
*CMO* Good point, I’ll take a look at the sensor logs from when he walked through

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Puts the container down and dons the suit.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::leads them to the proper area and drops the forcefeild to allow access to the big mass of biological goo::

CSO_KTor says:
::Having put on the suit, he heads over to the forcefield and pulls out a tricorder::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Does a quick double check before picking up the containment field, noting the suit didn't fit very well.::

Host CO_Farrel says:
::Accesses the sensors logs, looking at what the readings show when the alien and K'Tor passed through the forcefield::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
::looks over the damage and makes notes of repairs that need to be done::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: so how do you feel about being naked?

CSO_KTor says:
EO: Excuse me?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Mutters under breath::  I am not that short...  ::Catches up to the other two.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: you heard me.. ::notices the CMO enter the area and doesn't repeat her question::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Catching the last comment she looks at the engineer oddly before turning back to the science officer::  CSO:  Where is it located?

CSO_KTor says:
::Quietly:: EO: Feel? I feel nothing about it.

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: hmm.. CMO: it's over tot he right

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nods and heads in that direction.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Follows along::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CMO: still hot too.. so watch your fingers..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Glances over her shoulder::  EO:  Hot?  ::Then looks at the sample, pulling out her medical scanner.::

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CSO: nice... we have a giant volcano luggy to clean up..

Host CO_Farrel says:
*CMO* It seems, the alien got through the forcefield by using some kind of field generated by it's shell.  The shell itself looks like some kind of bioengineered crab...it seems the aliens use other lifeforms in various forms of symbiosis as components of their technology...

CMO_Mea`e says:
EO:  Luggy?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Turns her gaze to K'Tor:: CSO:  This is not biological, but geological.

CSO_KTor says:
::Scans the goop:: EO/CMO: Pure semi-molten rock. Lava. Nothing more or less.

CSO_KTor says:
<put my comment after CMO's last>

EO_LtJg_Gentry says:
CMO: you know.. a big wad of material .. umm.. spit out of a mouth.. err of.. things..

CMO_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Now that would be handy to have... to handy for enemies.

Host CO_Farrel says:
*CMO* I wonder where they come from, to have such an abundance of life...surely not from this barren region.
