Host Hebert says:
Last time we left Avalon Station, Captain MacLeod's warning shot destroyed a damaged Romulan Scout ship.  The ship, apparently leaking plasma, exploded after igniting the leaking fluid.
Host Hebert says:
With quick reactions, the Avalon crew quickly beamed the one life sign directly to sick-bay.  A severely injured Romulan now lays in the sick-bay with Doctor Rushing and her team fighting to save his life.
Host Hebert says:
We continue our arc this week as an ever developing plot by the Romulan Empire is slowly unfolding.  Now beginning week 2 of "Who's Next?"

CO: All weapons are armed station at red alert and fighters launched in defensive pattern alpha sir I would also like to contact SFC for back up sir.
Host CO_MacLeod says:
*CTO*:  Excellent, and hold off on the reinforcements for now, no point in attracting a lot of attention just incase the Romulans are watching.
AXO_Kriss says:
*CO*:  The patient is still in a coma but is stable enough for me to leave in the hands of our very capable medical team.
