"Out of The Darkness..."

Episode 4:  "Alien vs. Predator"

Summary:

After several bodies have been found in various parts of the station frozen to death, the crew has discovered that some kind of negative energy being is hunting people.

The Counselor has been able to sense that it is sentient, and is actually enjoying the sport of the hunt.

A plan has been devised to trap it on the holodeck and neutralize it if possible.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::At the holodeck, overseeing the preparations for the "trap"::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::in engineering, overseeing power resources for the Holosuite::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::In Main Operations at the Flight Control console::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::in Station OPS pacing nervously::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: How is everything going with the holodeck modifications?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: I'll be ready to go in five minutes, sir.
 
OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@:: onboard the Scorpius doing various tasks for maintenance::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Telarian Freighter: Negative, Captain.  The station is under lockdown status.  No ships are allowed to dock at this time.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Perfect. Marek out

ACTION:  The Telarian Freighter is ignoring the warnings...

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@:: sitting on the bridge of the Scorpius ::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Sees that everything is proceeding accordingly, so he heads back to OPS::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::moves to the Tac console and checks the readings::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Enters a turbo lift:: Computer: Station OPS.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::notices proximity alarm goes off and stands up to check it

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::notices the CO is somewhat tense:: CO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Captain, is everything right?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Stands quickly as she See’s the freighter continue on towards the docking port:: COM: Telarian Freighter: Stand down...I repeat stand down immediately.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the SC:: SC: I always get nervous when we try these sort of things,  they usually have a habit of going wrong ....

SC_Captain_Marek says:
:: overhears the FCO:: FCO: What is going on with that ship, Benson? ::moves quickly next to the FCO console::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Exits the lift, and goes over to the SC and CO::

ACTION:  The Telarian CO makes rude imprecations about the FCO's ancestors...

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Turns to Captain Horn:: CO: I have a Telarian freighter who insists on docking, Sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  We could warn him that docking is not a good idea...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: Captain Marek, the adjustments are ready to go for the holosuites.

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
::working on creating a holographic effect of a trans-dimensional vortex inducer::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Proceed immediately.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: Activating. ::activates::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO/CO: I think we are beyond that point now...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
CO: We could use the tractor beam to hold him off, or shut down the docking clamps, that way they can’t actually dock with the station.

OPS_Ens_Corak says:
::back in ops:: ALL: There is an inbound freighter ignoring hails. The Telarian freighter will not respond.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: We need all available power... FCO: shut down the docking clamps and warn the freighter CO one more time

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Telarian Freighter: This is your last warning.  Stand down, NOW!

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Done, Sir.

ACTION:  The Freighter is on final approach to a docking clamp and simply ignoring further contacts

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@*SC*: Should I return to Operations or make use of the Scorpius to defend the station, I've been monitoring Comm's Sir?

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
OPS: Shut down all docking, systems.  We cannot allow that freighter to dock.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::getting frustrated with the Freighter CO attitude::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Send the Scorpius.  With a little "gentle" persuasion they may decide docking is not a good idea...

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch says:
::Shuts down the docking systems:: FCO: Done

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
Self: shoot the son of a galorian blocknard already and disable the ship

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: I agree with Captain Horn.  Bring in the Scorp to intercept that freighter.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@*SC*: Awaiting orders..

SC_Captain_Marek says:
COM; Scorpius: Captain Serok, please intercept the Freighter. Make the CO to understand the situation.

ACTION:  Another frozen corpse has been found in the middle of the Promenade...

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::motions the skeleton crew to ready stations::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: Remember that was CO Horn's idea.

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch says:
FCO: The freighter is attempting to dock but the docking clamps will not engage.  ::Looks at the monitor::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks down at the monitor::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sees the report of another body:: SC: Captain, we have another problem ....

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::stands at Operations 1 onboard the Scorpius he diverts power to the impulse engines and readies the tractor beam::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: T`puc, the power modifications have been made.  Is the hologram operational yet?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@COM: DS 102: SC:  Acknowledged, we will intercept

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: ::raises an eyebrow:: Another? Darn, I was getting boring here.  ::sounds sarcastic:: Captain, what happened?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  We got another body ... this time in the middle of the Promenade ... and guess what...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: Let me see... Frozen to death

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Captain, sarcasm simply does not become you. ::Grins a bit, trying not to make too much fun of this situation::

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Captain, tractor beam is powered up and ready, Sir.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: Commander, you will get surprise with my sarcasm.  ::grins back::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: When this is all over, we should have a contest.  I can be rather sarcastic myself sometimes.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  You got it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO*: The holodeckage program that is programmabled is being at the readiesage and waitings.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Get medical and security down there.  Tell them I'm on my way.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: Prepare to activate.  *SC*: Captain, T'puc's ready in the Holosuite.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Proceed now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: Activate program!

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Sir, that freighter keeps trying to lock onto the docking systems.  He's doing a good job of banging up the clamping system.  ::Watches her monitor as the freighter moves forward, backwards and sideways::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Notifies sickbay and security about the body, orders them there, and informs them that CO Horn will arrive there shortly::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  If you don't need me here, I'll be on the promenade...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: This is getting odd.

ACTION:  The holodeck program begins to run...

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CO: granted. I will join you in a couple of minutes... Let me deal with this freighter for good..

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO*: Activating. ::seals himself in the control room where he's safe from the effect of the holographic program::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Have you ever seen anything like that?  That freighter is intent on docking here for some reason.  Perhaps someone should actually ask them why?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::nods and heads for the turbo lift:: Computer:  Promenade.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Your Orders?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
OPS/FCO/*CIV*: This is ridiculous. CIV; Captain, please proceed with the universal salute. I authorize you to fire a warning shot.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: With all due respect, Sir, but is it wise to fire phasers so close to the station?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::arrives on the Promenade and hurries off to where the body was found::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::monitors Holosuite energy patterns::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: Just a warning shot. Shouldn’t be trouble.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@*SC* Understood.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Frowns:: SC: Yes, Sir.  ::Thinks: With all this going on, he wants to fire weapons....sighs::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*CNS*:  Horn to Rand.  Counselor I could use you on the Promenade ... we have another body 

CNS_Rand says:
::looks up and nods to herself:: *CO* On my way, Captain.

CNS_Rand says:
::heads for the promenade::

CNS_Rand says:
::leaves the lift and walks along the promenade looking for the CO::

ACTION:  Nothing seems to be happening in the Holosuite other than that the program is running

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sees the CNS and motions for her to join her::

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CSO* Are you getting anything down there Commander?

CNS_Rand says:
::feels the same feeling as before as she joins the Captain:: CO: It's the same, Captain.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS:  Target a low level phaser burst across their bow.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks down sadly:: CNS:  We must stop this creature, Counselor ....

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Report, cmdr.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Captain, did you arrive to where the body was found?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: Everything's holding.  Just waiting for our perpetrator.

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*XO* Nothings to be being of the necessitaries of being neededs to be reporteds. When and if that is to be of the changings, you'll be of the second to be knowing.

ACTION:  The Freighter turns to charge the Scorpius and powers weapons

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*SC*:  I'm here.  It's exactly the same as the other two.  Frozen to death and done very quickly.

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Agreed.  ::concentrate on focusing her feelings:: Perhaps I should join the team at the holodeck.

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch says:
::Looks at his monitor in horror:: SC: There goes the starboard docking clamps!  ::Watches as the docking clamp assembly floats out into space::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CSO* I am keeping the COM line open.  You report anything out of the ordinary, regardless of how insignificant.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks at her monitor and sighs::

OPS__Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Okay.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  I'll come with you.  There's not much we can do here... ::watches as medical arrives::

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Maybe using real emotions and endorphins will be more effective.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::fires a low yield shot at the freighter as instructed::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: What happened with our stubborn freighter?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  I agree ... but you are not going to be the bait...

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CO: Of course, Captain, but I can project my own feelings onto a holographic form.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@*OPS*: Red alert, evasive maneuvers.

CNS_Rand says:
::starts for the holodeck::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks at her:: CNS:  That's brilliant!  ::follows the CNS::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Looks like the freighter is coming about to take on the Scorpius, Sir!

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::slaves helm and his fingers dance trying to evade the attack::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sees a slight blip in the hologrid, quickly makes the adjustment::

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Is that Captain Insane, we could tear him to pieces

CNS_Rand says:
::walks up to the team at the holodeck:: All: Any progress?

ACTION:  The freighter shudders and loses power, and begins to drift slowly away from the station...

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS:  We did not hit him with that volley.  Scan the freighter and find out what happened.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::attempts to intercept and engage a tractor::

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::scans the freighter with sensors::

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: The freighter has been disabled, Sir, although I'm uncertain as to why.  It's drifting away from the station.

CNS_Rand says:
CSO: What has happened so far?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: T`puc, I had to make a slight adjustment in the hologrid.  Is there any noticeable difference in the program?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
FCO: Well, that put the situation to a stand by at least. Let's the Scorpius deal with the ship.

CNS_Rand says:
::focuses on the projection within the holodeck, pushing her own emotions onto the figure there::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO*: I am on my to way to the holodeck. XO: You got Operations

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Understood, Captain.

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO*: No

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::heads to the TL::

ACTION:  Negative energy can be detected flowing toward the holodeck, but circling the outside...

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO* Wait..

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
SC: Sir?  Keep an open COM line to ops.  I want to be able to pull you away from there if anything unforeseen happens.

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Sits back down in her chair and monitors the situation with the freighter.  Drums her fingers on the console::

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Shields and Power are down on that ship Captain, life support is still okay, there are, I believe ambient sounds onboard.. Inside.. Yes It is phaser fire there is a fight onboard.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
XO: I will. ::enters the TL::

CNS_Rand says:
CO:  Something seems different.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: What's wrong?

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS: Try to attempt a tractor lock and then see if  you can get a lock on the life signs on the freighter and beam them to the brig.

CNS_Rand says:
::thinks of joyful experiences and pushes those emotions away from her into the holodeck::

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO*: I'm detecting that which is appearing to be negative energies that is heading in this directions of flowing towards the Holosuite, but is seemings to be just of the circlings on the outsides

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: I'm sensing something there.  I'm heading that way.  ::exits engineering heading to holosuites::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::exits the TL and heads to the Holodeck area::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks around:: CNS:  Yeah I've noticed .... It feels colder...

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Yes and there is a feel of electricity in the air.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::attempts a tractor lock and beam out his fingers work with fury to assign transport instructions evenly:: CIV: Trying Skipper...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Hears the CSO, and relays that information to the SC and CO:: *SC/CO* CSO T’pucnamushi just said that there is negative energy heading towards the holodeck, but its not inside, its circling the deck.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Like static electricity....

CNS_Rand says:
::continues to draw on her emotions and focusing them onto the hologram::  CO: Yes, exactly

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CSO*: T`puc, are you feeling freezing cold yet?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*XO*: Understood. At least it is being lured to the area... *CEO*: Can you increase the negative emissions?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  We can feel it, Commander, it's getting colder around here ....

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::sends a message over to Operations on DS102 about the Possible Hijacked frieghter::

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
*CEO* Come into the room that is that which controls the room. Don't enterings the suite itself. You will not be likings what your eyes will be tellings you.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
::Didn't realize the CO was at the holodeck:: *CO* Sir?  Are you at the holodeck?

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@CIV: Just busted an Update to the station on our Progress Ma'am

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ :: lifts her eyebrow :: OPS:  Skipper......any of various erratically active insects as a click beetle or a water strider?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  That I am, Commander...

CNS_Rand says:
::notices a shadow out of the corner of her eye::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::enters control room:: *SC*: Increasing...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* With all due respect, Sir, get out of there!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::arrives next to the CO::

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS:  Acknowledged Mister Chambers.

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::gives an aghast look:: CIV: Umm .. No, Never mind

CNS_Rand says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: I'm sensing that same feeling of hunger and joy of hunting as I did in Operations before.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Have you finished imprinting the hologram?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: Negative ions increased 25 percent.

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@ OPS:  Is that another of those Human nautical colloquialisms?

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO* Acknowledged. Let's see what happens

CNS_Rand says:
CO: I'm continuing to do that, Captain.  I can't say whether or not it is enough.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: I'm going to increase the temperature in here to 30 C.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
OPS: Get a transporter lock on anyone near that holodeck.  Be ready to pull them out on a 
Milliseconds notice.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
:: overhears the CNS:: CNS: Can you pinpoint the exact location of that ... feeling?

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch says:
XO: Aye Commander

CNS_Rand says:
SC: It's here; circling...it's suspicious though it is intrigued

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Is it sentient?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: T`puc, maybe if I increase positive ions in here by 50 percent we might actually get a reaction to the hologram.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::increases positive ions::

SC_Captain_Marek says:
CNS: If it is intrigued, that is good. Maybe will bite the bait in the holodeck

CNS_Rand says:
::continues to focus on the hologram:: SC: Yes, very much so, highly organized intelligence, perhaps more intelligent than we are.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  We need to get everyone out of here...

CIV_Capt_Serok says:
@OPS:  Have you been able to get a lock on the life signs on the freighter?

CSO_LtCmdr_Tpucnamushi says:
CEO: I am thinks that we might could be just startings it at 30 percentages and be of the seeing what happens, I am thinks

SC_Captain_Marek says:
::thinks:: CO: Very well, let's proceed to a secure area.

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*CO* Sir, we have transporter locks on everyone that is there with you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: OK, we're at 30 percent and holding.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*XO*: Ok, Mahl, maintain it, although we are clearing the area now.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Get all personnel out of here now...

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
*SC/CO* I also have an open COM line to you all.  Just say the word, and I will have you beamed out of there before the echo dies down.

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CSO/CEO*: Any progress?

ACTION:  A display of what looks like lightning bolts erupts from the holo image as the alien rushes it and makes contact...

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Captain, I'll stay close enough to continue imprinting the hologram, the rest should go

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*SC*: I've increased positive ions around the hologram...  Wait!  We have contact!

ACTION:  All systems on the station experience power drains...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
ALL:  GO!

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::attempts to activate force field around entity::

ACTION:  The force field frizzles and pops...but holds...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
*XO*:  Beam everyone out now!

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Watches as the flight control console flickers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO/SC*: Got him!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
All: Everyone leave now!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
OPS: Engage transporters; beam them all here, now!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO/CSO*: Well done!!!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*CEO/CSO*: Do whatever you need to maintain the entity inside the force field!

SC_Captain_Marek says:
*OPS*: Full power priority to holodeck!

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch
::attempts to initialize transport::

ACTION:  As the alien tries to get free, power failures begin in extremities of the station, though the field continues to hold...

OPS_Ens_Sensurloch says:
::his hands sour with grace and rapid speed:: ALL: Trying ..

FCO_LtCmdr_Benson says:
OPS Sensurloch: What's going on?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Self: Uh oh.  *CO/SC*: We're experiencing power outages at the outer edges of the station.  I think the entity is drawing power through the force field!

XO_Cmdr_Mahl says:
OPS: Where are they?  Why haven’t they been beamed here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::rushes out of the control room and heads to engineering::

OPS_Ens_Chambers says:
@::is distracted by sensors:: CIV: Captain, I am registering a massive power shift on the station!
