<<<<Resume Mission "Calling All Angels - Part 3">>>>

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::in the ready room preparing her statement to the Admiral.::

Host Brett says:
Summary: The USS Delphyne is hurtling through space at speeds she was never meant to travel.  Engineering is lit brightly in a whitish/blue glow as the warp core's pulse has become a low-pitched howl. The deck plates, door frames and every loose surface is vibrating.

CSO_Syrna says:
::at the science station, continuing scans::

Host Brett says:
Summary: Most monitor consoles show nothing but red bars, lines and graphs as coolant temperature, manifold pressure, structural integrity and warp containment are all well beyond maximum rated tolerances.  A number of reports of micro-meteoroid strikes have been reported as the deflector dish was never meant to handle this speed.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: in engineering at the main console over seeing the overdrive ::

Host Brett says:
Summary: Sensors have narrowed to a cone barely bigger than the width of the ship and their readings are somewhat garbled, the delicate instruments having never been calibrated or designed to work beyond Warp 9.6

EO_Cruiser says:
::relieves EO Briscoe at SIF and watches the console carefully::

Host Brett says:
Summary: But the old ship charges gallantly forward, seemingly as determined as its crew to save a young girl and her civilization from instant destruction.  But how long can the Delphyne's systems, some over three decades old, stand the strain?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::sitting in the counselor's chair looking over some past sessions of her predecessors::

CTO_Vendal says:
::at Tac station on Bridge looking over specs of Grey Mode::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<DutyOPS> ::attempts to open a  secure comm. with Adm. Kiel::

AXO_Hunter says:
::Seated in the Captain Chair on the bridge::

AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Status report Mr. K'vas

Host Brett says:
<Duty_OPS> ACO: Channel open, a bit staticay and the lag is bad.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::reviewing the Grant's specs on a PADD::

EO_Cruiser says:
CEO: ::shouting over the noise:: Sir, SIF is holding but it's straining...

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Commander the ships systems are all in the red, my department will do what we can to keep the ship going.  But the ship is at her limit .  She may not hold together to see us to our glory

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
OPS: Understood.  ::opens the comm. on the desk console::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nervous about the del going so fast, but does not  show it, buries her face in her work::

AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: See that she holds together Lt, I and everyone onboard have the utmost confidence in your abilities, Keep me informed

Host Brett says:
Action: The ACO sees a man she recognizes as Admiral Kiel's aid on the comm.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO* : Aye sir...K`Vas out

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: Aid:  Is the Admiral available?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::rubs her head absent-mindedly as these headaches have recently become commonplace as they hurtle through space::

EO_Cruiser says:
::makes adjustments as fast as she can and just manages to keep up with the changing parameters although barely::

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO_Cruiser : Status on the SIF and deflector grid

AXO_Hunter says:
CSO:: Anything to report on that section of the asteroid belt that was orbiting each other?

Host Brett says:
<Aid>COMM:Del:ACO: No she isn't.  The whole station's in an uproar over Captain T'Kar.  I'll tell her you called.

EO_Cruiser says:
CEO: Sir...she's not made to go this fast.  She's holding but barely....how much longer do we have to maintain this speed, sir?

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: Aid:  Wait!  Can you tell me how the search is going?

CSO_Syrna says:
::runs calculations on how much mass the tractor beams can move, and if the additional tractors from the Grant can help::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::frowns as her statement will have to wait::

Host Brett says:
<Aid> COMM: Del: ACO: Not good from what I gather.  It looks like she may have been taken off the station.  Two ships left during the night.  That is really all I know.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::tucks the PADD under her arm and gets up, walking a little unsteadily over to the science console as the ship vibrates::  CSO:  Let me know if you need any help...not that we want to find out much more on the asteroid belt just yet.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Cruise: Until the ACO says to reduce speed.  Stay focused ensign do not allow yourself to be distracted.

CTO_Vendal says:
AXO: Sir, I feel I am completely familiar with Grey Mode and ready for it's use if needed

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: Aid:  Which two ships?

EO_Cruiser says:
::mumblesto herself:: Easy for you to say, you're not trying to make calculations by hand. ::raises her voice:: CEO: Aye sir...I'll do my best.

CSO_Syrna says:
::almost rolls her eyes at the CNS:: CNS: The sensors are not capable of working at warp 9.8. There is not much we can do about the garbled readings we are getting at this point.

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Pacmyer>*CEO*: Lt. we have just finished welding a loose deck plate on deck 9, sir these things are jumping loose all over the place

Host Brett says:
<Aid> ::Huriedly types in something on a PADD::  COMM: Del: AXO: Ummm, not sure of the exact information, it was a Ferengi Marauder and a small private transport.  That's all I have learned so far, the investigation is still ongoing.

CNS_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Just as well.  Does anyone know how long we'll keep this break neck speed?

CEO_K`Vas says:
*EO Pacmyer*: Good work ensign.  Keep on making repairs, we have been ordered to maintain this speed

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: Aid:  ::sighs::  I understand.  Please request of the Admiral to keep us informed as best as she can.

CSO_Syrna says:
CNS: That would be up to the engineering staff and the delphyne herself... and if she holds out as long as the commanders desire her to maintain that speed.

EO_Cruiser says:
::holding onto the console as the ship shudders again and wishes that the unnerving howl and whine would quiet down:: CEO: Sir...the deflector dish is missing some of the smaller space debris and we're being pelted by it.  I can't guarantee minimal damage...not at this speed.

CEO_K`Vas says:
<EO Pacmyer>*CEO*: Yes sir :: the fear in his voice is very noticeable::

AXO_Hunter says:
CTO:: Very Good Lt thank you.

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Cruiser: Understood .  Do what you can, I will inform the bridge

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::closes the comm. and walks on to the Bridge::  XO/*CEO*: Report.

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO: SIF are stressed but Holding, the CTO has completed his review of the Grey Mode protocols ::stands and moves to the XO seat::

CNS_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Hopefully it isn't much longer. A bit unnerving with it rattling like this.  ::looks around at the jiggling parts, one coming loose now and then::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Sir my EO reports that we are taking damage from micro meteors, due to our speed the forward deflectors are not keeping up

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises her eyebrow:: CNS: Indeed. ::looks at her blankly as only a vulcan could::

Host Brett says:
Action: Suddenly, in engineering, a small pop followed by a piercing whistle cuts through the roar of the overworked warp core.  Two engineers suddenly shout and race from an area of pipes and conduits, shouting about a plasma leak.  Seconds later, the alarm klaxons sound in engineering.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: What is our ETA to... ::hears an alarm go off::

AXO_Hunter says:
ACO:: The CEO also reports that the Forward deflector shields have not been able to keep up with us and we are taking damage

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: Report!

EO_Cruiser says:
::looks up and over to the CEO and then checks her readouts on her console...her fingers flying faster than they ever did over the panel::

CEO_K`Vas says:
ALL EOs: Clear the area now!

Host Brett says:
Action: A nearby coolant pipe, already under extreme pressure, melts under the jet of superheated plasma and bursts with tremendous force.  The miniature explosion shears a support strut which topples over, pinning an unlucky engineer beneath it.  Coolant begins to fill the area.

CTO_Vendal says:
::Checks readings for ETA::

AXO_Hunter says:
::hears the Alarms::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
DutyFCO: Prepare to reduce speed.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks at the ACO and AXO as the alarms go off::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: We are loosing warp coolant dropping out of warp now!  

TO_Re`Volos says:
::drops the PADD at the sound of the explosion and the crash::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
DutyFCO: Now!  Drop to impulse.

EO_Cruiser says:
CEO: Sir...with all due respect...you need help trying to maintain the leak. :: tries to reroute the coolant through another conduit and keep it away from the burst pipe::

Host Brett says:
Action: The warp core temperature begins to climb, the core chamber begins to fill with noxious gasses and radioactive particles.  The trapped engineer calls weakly for help.  The huge pressure door at the entrance to the core chamber begins to lower.  Engineers scramble to clear the deadly room.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks over at OPS' panel, wishes D'von were there as she hears a warning alarm go off from that panel::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
<Duty FCO> ::drops out of warp:: ACO: Aye

TO_Re`Volos says:
::runs over to the pinned Engineer and tries to pull him free::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: runs to help clear the EO out before the containment door shuts ::

Host Brett says:
Action: The ship refuses to slow, it's speed remains constant.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: Get down there with Medical personal

CNS_Jakiel says:
::feels the heightened emotions from engineering, someone hurt::

AXO_Hunter says:
:;already on the move:: ACO: Way ahead of you boss

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Ensign you're with me

Host Brett says:
<Duty_FCO> ACO: She won't drop out of warp!  Looks like the warp inverters are fused, or off-line.

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO:  Would you like my help?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: tries to get all of his men out before the door traps all of them ::

EO_Cruiser says:
::hits her console in frustration as the readouts are showing her everything but what she wants.  Runs over and tries to help the TO free the engineer::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sees they are not slowing:: *CEO*: Options!?

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the duty FCO, and is worried::

AXO_Hunter says:
*Sickbay*:: Trauma teams be ready, prep for plasma burns radiation exposure....send ERTs to Engineering full radiation precautions!

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO: Yessir. after you.  ::follows Hunter out::

Host Brett says:
Action: The engineers clear the room, as the two Klingons strain to lift the heavy beam.  They are able to move it and the trapped man crawls out from under, his leg broken.

AXO_Hunter says:
::enters the Turbolift and takes it down to Engineering::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO/CTO: Can we eject the core?

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: he pulls the last man out :: *ACO*: The core may have to be ejected

TO_Re`Volos says:
::grabs the EO's arm and begins dragging him clear of the room::

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO:  I could feel the sudden shift in emotions...I would assume from engineering.

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: Take charge of the lower priorities...Ill be working to triage

EO_Cruiser says:
::puts her shoulder under the arm of the engineer and helps drag him out::

CTO_Vendal says:
::begins checking systems to see if ejecting the core is still possible::

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS: thats correct

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: Let me check... ::pushes buttons:: We eject the core means we have no warp speed.... at all.

AXO_Hunter says:
::Arrives in ME just ahead of the ERTs::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: goes over to his console and tries to reroute leaks and restore cooling before the core goes crit ::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: Understood, though we might not have a choice.

AXO_Hunter says:
::looks around already sizing the situation up::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::nods at Hunter::  AXO:  Yessir.  I'll get some supplies. ::moves to grab a tricorder, hypos, etc::

CSO_Syrna says:
::nods as she pulls up the information::

AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*: What happened?

EO_Cruiser says:
::scrambles through the doors and heads to one of the aux engineering consoles.  Once again tries to reroute the coolant back to the warp drive and away from the broken pipe::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: The auto ejector is off line ma'am. We do not have much choice.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Commander a coolant pipe ruptured, and we cannot shut down the warp drive our speed remains the same.  We are going to destruct if I cannot stabilize :: coughs:: the system

AXO_Hunter says:
::moving around the room triaging the patients, ordering the critical patients to beamed directly to sickbay, Directs the ERTs ::

Host Brett says:
Action: As the TO and EO drag the injured man out of the room, crawling to get under the door, they see the CEO still inside, attempting to shut off the flow of poisonous gasses, and reroute the precious coolant.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Gets the needed supplies from one of the ERT's and then searches to find the injured::

AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: Get out of there now Lt!

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*XO/CEO*: Core ejection systems are offline

CEO_K`Vas says:
*AXO*: Sir I have to manually eject the core or the ship will be lost

EO_Cruiser says:
::looks through the window and bites her lip as she sees the CEO still in there::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Turns and looks where Hunter is gazing and catches her breath as she realizes the CEO is in danger::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
All Bridge: Any other suggestions?

Host Brett says:
<Engineer> ::Walks up to the CEO::  It's alright Chief, we've got it.  Get clear.

CSO_Syrna says:
::looks at Tarrez a moment of fear in her eyes:: ACO: Ma'am... only ejecting the core... it will have to be done manually.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: If we could shatter an object right before us it could break the warp field, it would do damage to the ship but it may get us to stop

CEO_K`Vas says:
Engineer: Negative, bring me an emergency oxy mask and see to getting that coolant leak stopped

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO:  To risky... that could kill us all as well.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: The warp core breaching will kill us too, I will try and come up with another option

CNS_Jakiel says:
::finds one of the men with second degree burns and tries to focus on him::  Injured EO:  Just hold still, this won't take too long.  ::carefully handles the dermal regenerator::

Host Brett says:
Action: The pressure door stops, about two feet from the floor. At the same time, the leaks begin to ease and finally stop.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: The SIF won't take an impact at this speed  disrupting hull integrity.

EO_Cruiser says:
::sees that the CEO and others are still at their posts.  Grabs an O2 mask and crawls back under the door:: CEO: Sir...EO Cruiser reporting for duty. ::Gulps and grabs a spanner and starts to work on the pipe::

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: Agreed, what about a reversal of the ramscoops

AXO_Hunter says:
::Sees the door stop:: *CEO*:: report!

CNS_Jakiel says:
::glances over at the door in relief, seeing it stop closing::

AXO_Hunter says:
::definately torn between being a Doctor...and the Acting XO::

Host Brett says:
<Engineer> CEO: It's alright Chief, we've got it.  Get out while you can.  The Del needs you alive.  She’s not finished yet.  ::Smiles and indicates the huge door, where the CEO sees the engineers holding it up, waiting for him.::  {{ OOC Brett is making reference to “the 10”.  The engineers that were vaporized shutting down a runaway warp reaction.  They died saving the ship.  It was the 10 that came in to help K`Vas and that held the containment door open.  None of the other engineers or crew would have saw them.  They helped him save the ship.  They are the one that informed command that the auto eject was off line}}

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Not enough force.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: takes the oxy mask and nods to EO Cruiser :: *AXO*: The leak is under control, checking status now

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: Could it be enough to destabilize the warp field though

CTO_Vendal says:
CSO: Not stop us completely

Host Brett says:
Action: Ever so slowly, the warp temperature begins to drop, still in the red, but cooling.

AXO_Hunter says:
*CEO*:: ::breaths a sigh of releif:: Well get a bloody move on Lt!!! I don't want to have to wrap you in a lead suit just to be around you

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: ducks under door into ME::  ALL EOs: Report status

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: If we reduce to 9.7... what would be our ETA? ::Sees that the core temp is dropping some::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::sees EO Cruiser returning to ME, grabs an oxy mask and crawls back under the door:: CEO: Ensign Re'Volos, returning to my post sir. What do you need me to do.

AXO_Hunter says:
::immediately begins to scan the CEO for any over exposure to the radiation::

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: I do not think so... ::hears the ACO:: ACO: 9.7... I'll check... ::hopes they can drop to that speed::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns the man's arm.  Reaches for the hypo and checks to see that it has the proper vial to deaden the area and checks the setting.  Administers it:: Injured EO: You shouldn't feel anything now while I work on it...just keep still.  ::the man nods and looks away::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*AXO*: Report.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: You alright?

Host Brett says:
Action: As the CEO exits the room, the pressure door drops, sealing it off.  The gasses and radiation inside begin to be evacuated by pumps and blowers.  The pressure gauges and temperature indicators creep back to their original positions.

EO_Cruiser says:
::grins and follows the CEO back out.  Pulling at the TO's arm as she passes him:: TO: It's okay...the Chief did it...he got the leak stabilized.

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Aye

TO_Re`Volos says:
::exits the room with the EO::

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: Any lightheadedness pain nausea?

AXO_Hunter says:
*ACO*:: Warp core contained....temperatures returning to normal...thanks the Cheif here...

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Sir a Klingon :: cough :: does not complain of physical discomfort

CNS_Jakiel says:
Injured EO:  I want you to have the doctor check this over after I'm through.  ::continues working, watching the skin heal::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::over hears the CEO across the AXO comm::  *CEO*:  You can complain all you want as far as I am concern.  Great Work!

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: Fine! I order you to tell me if you have any pain or nausea

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: coughs more, sweating badly :: TO: Can you take over for EO Reed and monitor the warp core temp?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::overhears the CEO and smiles, remembering that phrase::

Host Brett says:
Action: Within about ten minutes, the computer notes that it is safe to reenter the core room.  Repairs will be needed as several systems are now running on their backups.

TO_Re`Volos says:
CEO: Yessir!

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: 6 Hours.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CSO: ETA on the impact of the rogue planet?

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: alright thats all I needed to hear and see, To sickbay with you. ::scans Vitals body temp etc::

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Very well sir, I may have radiation poisoning.  I have seen it before

CNS_Jakiel says:
::walks over to Hunter and waits while he speaks to K'Vas::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::proceeds to a console quicker than he did going back into ME and begins monitoring the warp core::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: 10 hours.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: There, that wasn't so hard, You and I will head to sickbay then,

CEO_K`Vas says:
EO Cruiser: You take my station and have Ens. Pacmyer relieve you at yours

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO: Sir, will I be needed anymore.  Just had one injured and I've sent him to sickbay just to check...had second degree burns.

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: That is when it will begin to impact the asteroid belt, as we do not know the exact location of the transmission, we may have more time.

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Duty FCO: Drop us to 9.7 as soon as possible and refigure ETA at 9.6

EO_Cruiser says:
::stands up straighter:: CEO: Aye sir!

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CSO::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: accompanies the doctor to sickbay ::

AXO_Hunter says:
CNS:: I'm leaving you in charge down here, wait till everyone gets to sickbay then return to the bridge..::smiles:: Nice work by the way

Host Brett says:
<Duty_FCO> ACO: Ma'am, the inverters are still fused, until they're repaired we can't reduce speed.

AXO_Hunter says:
::initiates and emergency beam out to sickbay::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: forces a smile at the CNS as he passes ::

CNS_Jakiel says:
AXO:  Thank you sir.  I'll report in later.  ::looks over at K'Vas and smiles, then walks over to some of the other EO;s::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles ever so lightly::  Duty FCO: Which is why I said as soon as possible.

AXO_Hunter says:
::arrives in Sickbay with the CEO::

Host Brett says:
<Duty_FCO> ::Blushes::  Yes ma'am.  ::Turns back to her station and concentrates, hoping to disappear soon.::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: feels unsteady after the beam in ::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*: We can drop down to 9.7 or less as soon as the inverters get back up.

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: At 9.6 we will arrive in approximately 6.5 hours.

CEO_K`Vas says:
*ACO*: Yes :: coughs harshly :: Captain, I will inform my department

CNS_Jakiel says:
::moves around checking each of the EO's in turn until she finds a singed uniform::  Singed EO:  Could you please hold your arm out... ::after noticing him holding it at an odd angle::

EO_Cruiser says:
::watches the blast doors roll up and heads over to the main engineering console and whistles as she looks at the readouts:: All: We got a lot of repairs to do...let's get to it.  We gotta get those inverters open and get control of our speed.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: have a seat on the biobed ::directs the other doctor and nurses to being treatment for radiation poisoning

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hears the CEO's coughing::  *AXO*:  Is he okay? ::whispers::

CEO_K`Vas says:
*EO Cruiser*: Once the inverters are on line reduce speed to warp 9.7

CNS_Jakiel says:
::the injured EO avoids the counselor's eyes:: <Injured EO>  CNS:  It is nothing.  A small burn.

EO_Cruiser says:
::looks around and see the TO:: TO: Excuse me sir?  But could you help me with the inverters?  We may have to manipulate them manually.

TO_Re`Volos says:
EO_Cruiser: What do you need me to do?

CEO_K`Vas says:
::Pulls loose of the medical staff refusing help :: All med: I am still able to sit by myself :: cough ::

EO_Cruiser says:
*CEO*: Aye sir...we're working on getting the invertors open to reduce our speed.

CNS_Jakiel says:
Injured EO:  Well let me decide that... ::thinks the CEO's stoicism has rubbed off on his staff::  no... it isn't too bad, but it does need some attention.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: Be nice to my staff Lt, we're only trying to help

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Takes the singed area of the sleeve in both hands and abruptly rips it open to get at the wound, startling the singed EO::  Singed EO:  Now just hold still, this won't take long...  ::one of the members of the ERT team walks up to report::

EO_Cruiser says:
::bites at her lower lip as she looks at the readouts:: TO: Well sir...looks like they are fused together.  If we can't open them up we can't reduce speed. ::heads over to the ladder leading up to the upper level above the warp core and motions for the TO to follow her::

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO/CSO: I was wondering, What are we going to do when we get there?

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Aye sir  ::coughs and half way falls onto the bio bed ::

CSO_Syrna says:
ACO: I am uncertain. Unfortunately we have no idea what awaits us when we get there.

TO_Re`Volos says:
EO_Cruiser: A little muscle work then? ::follows the EO::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Have any thoughts?

CNS_Jakiel says:
ERT member:  And what injuries have you found?  ::begins working on the edges of the plasma burn as she listens::

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: How is the CEO?

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: No actually I have no ideas at all, but I was just realizing that we may not have much time when we get there

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::doesn't say that she will actually be surprised if they make it there at all::

CNS_Jakiel says:
<ERT member> CNS:  Two found with inner respiratory tract burns...inhalation of the heated atmosphere...administered the appropriate medication and noted it in our report.

EO_Cruiser says:
::grins down at him as she climbs up the ladder:: TO: Something like that, sir.  There's a manual control up here...one for each side.  I'll try and get the computer to open them first..that would be best....but if not then I'll have to have help turning them.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: TO ReVolos suggested that we use some of the surrounding asteroids to move it by impacting the planet with the asteroids, he mentioned a game called billiards

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: We do have a few hours. 5 at 9.8, 4 at 9.7 and 3 and a half at 9.6.

AXO_Hunter says:
*ACO*:: As suspected he has Radiation poisoning....It will takes us some time to determine the extent, I have prescribed Hyronalin but that will take time...I'd like to keep him here for observation

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*AXO*: Understood, do your best.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: hears the AXO and tries to get up :: AXO: May I return to duty, sir?

CNS_Jakiel says:
::nods at the ERT person as she closes the wound and regenerates up the last of the scar line::  ERT member:  And you have finished a thorough check of all those in the danger area?  Singed EO: you're fine now.  I want you to report to sickbay when you can and have Dr. Hunter check your arm. ::turns back to the ERT person::

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: No you may not, I'm very concerned as to the extent of the radiation poisoning you're here until at least tomorrow afternoon...possibly longer

EO_Cruiser says:
::reaches the top and scrambles out of the way of the TO behind her and over to a panel by a metal wheel.  Points to the wheel:: TO: Careful...it will be hot until the core temp cools a little bit more.  The metal tends to super conduct the heat.

CTO_Vendal says:
ACO: The second suggestion he made was more tricky as we would have to know more about how the asteroid has it's atmosphere and such, but the second suggestion was to move the asteroid out of danger

CNS_Jakiel says:
<ERT member> CNS:  Yes ma'am.  Thorough scans on each of the engineering staff.  Just the two inhalation injuries...they have been sent to sickbay for observation.

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Sir that is unacceptable, I have a duty to the ship and crew :: cough :: I am fit for duty

TO_Re`Volos says:
EO_Cruiser: Understood. ::positions himself by the panel::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*AXO*:  Sir?  Report for you.

EO_Cruiser says:
::hands the TO a hydro-spanner:: TO: Sir...if you could go over to that other panel by that second wheel and open it.  We'll have to do this simultaneously to make certain the coolant flows evenly.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: No you aren't, Now, you can lay there peacefully or I can sedate you for your own safety

AXO_Hunter says:
*CNS*:: go ahead Counselor

CNS_Jakiel says:
ERT member:  Excellent.  Report back to CMO Hunter and see if he has further instructions for you.

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: lays back down obviously unhappy about it :: AXO: Aye sir

TO_Re`Volos says:
::takes the spanner and proceeds to the second panel:: EO_Cruiser: Ready when you are

Host ACO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to let the CTO know she heard him::

AXO_Hunter says:
::walks over to the CEO::

EO_Cruiser says:
::opens the panel in front of her exposing the circuits and boards that control the inverters:: TO: Okay sir...you'll see two boards fused together towards the back..careful!  They'll be hot also.  Try and get them out without hitting any other boards.  You'll have to use your spanner.

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: I know you hate laying around K'vas, I completely understand, but Radiation poisoning is a delicate thing, How can you perform your duty if you're dead?

CNS_Jakiel says:
*AXO*:  Fortunately, not many injuries....two inhalation burns which have been medicated and should be arriving in sickbay.  Two with second degree burns that I have taken care of and will be reporting in later. I have released the ERT teams to check back in with you.  All Eo's have been thoroughly examined.

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: To die is honorable, to shun ones duties is not

CNS_Jakiel says:
*AXO*:  Will you need further help in sickbay?

AXO_Hunter says:
*CNS*:: Excellent work Ensign, You can either come join us here in sickbay or return to the bridge up to you

TO_Re`Volos says:
::reaches for the fused boards with the spanner, hissing as his hand grazes a hot wire, and begins to remove them::

AXO_Hunter says:
CEO:: How is dieing in the hallway on the way there Honorable? At least let me treat you so you can fight and die in battle as a proper Klingon Warrior

CNS_Jakiel says:
*AXO*:  Yessir.  I'll come by sickbay briefly to check on the inhalation patients.

EO_Cruiser says:
::slowly pulls out her boards not even noticing the burns on her callused hands:: TO: Once you've got those circuits, sir.  You'll see auxiliary boards at the bottom of the panel.  We'll have to replace those.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::heads for sickbay::

CEO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Your thoughts make sense, I will do as you command sir.

CSO_Syrna says:
::continues to try to watch the sensors::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::drops the useless slag on the deck:: EO_Cruiser: Ready to replace the boards

EO_Cruiser says:
TO: Okay...on the count of three....one...two...three  ::replaces her boards and looks over at the TO::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::replaces his boards at the same time as the EO::

CEO_K`Vas says:
:: lays back and realizes he hurts in places he didn't know could hurt ::

AXO_Hunter says:
::smiles:: CEO:: good because the last thing I need is your ghost haunting me for the rest of my life ::smiles:: We'll get you back up and moving in no time

EO_Cruiser says:
::initiates the inverter controls and watches breathlessly to see if they work::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Enters sickbay and checks in, noting the patients, one in particular::  CEO:  How are you doing?

CEO_K`Vas says:
CNS: I will be fine :: smiles at the young lady ::

Host Brett says:
INFO: K'Beth awakens groggily sitting in a hard chair.  She is in a small room with no windows and only one door which is behind her.  A single luminescent light burns overhead and a small table is the only other furnishing.

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth finds she is strapped to the chair, her arms to the arms of the chair, a wide strip around her abdomen and each leg tied to one of the front chair legs.

Host K`Beth says:
::Opens her eyes and looks around blearily.  The realization of where she is slowly dawns over her as she feels her arms and legs bound to the chair.  Tests how tight they are and if there is any possibility of loosening them.::

Host Brett says:
Action: The bonds are wide cloth strips, secured with a type of "Velcro".  They seem quite strong.

Host K`Beth says:
::relaxes against her bonds and looks around the room as far as she can.  Tries to scoot the chair around to see the rest of the room::

Host Brett says:
Action: As she moves the chair, K'Beth can see that the room is bare save for the table.  The chair makes a scraping noise on the floor.  As she turns, the door opens, revealing a plain corridor outside.  Two figures enter and the door closes behind them.  Modex and Tellus approach.

Host K`Beth says:
::doesn't say anything....just looks at them with a neutral expression::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Smiles::  Captain, good to see you awake at last.  I was beginning to worry that my associate here had set his weapon to the wrong power level.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Moves around the room, pacing like a caged animal, glaring at K'Beth the whole time.::

Host K`Beth says:
::wryly:: Modex: Gee...aren't I lucky.  What is this about Modex? ::ignores Tellus::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Assumes a more serious expression:: Captain, we know you are involved with plots against the Federation, involving Romulan agents and conspiracies.  All we want from you is the names of your contacts, any information you have on meetings, cloaked vessels operating in Federation space, agents and their placements etc.  

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Approaches and lays a hand gently on her shoulder.::  Now, I must be frank with you;  this is your only opportunity to tell us this information, and save yourself a lot of trouble.  ::Smiles::  And us too.

Host K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: Modex: I don't know what your 'associate' has been telling you...but I am not involved in any plots against the Federation.  If you want to know where your agents are placed...then ask him. ::indicates Tellus with her chin::  I am curious though...why would a Romulan be concerned about threats to the Federation?

Host Brett says:
<Tellus>  ::Stalks over and leans close to K'Beth, growling words into her face:: 

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> Not involved?  Not involved!?  You expect us to believe you uncovered all of those Romulan plots and agents by dumb luck?  ::Barks a laugh::  No, you simply overdid it didn't you?  Got a little too  good at finding agents, even ones at sector headquarters!

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> No, I think you know a lot more than you're telling.  And we will soon see.  ::Stands and walks to the door.::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Looks sympathetic::  Oh dear, I was afraid you'd make him angry.  You had better start talking.

Host K`Beth says:
::for the first time looks directly at him:: Tellus: Can I help it if we're good?  ::looks at Modex and in a mild voice:: Modex: I told you I had a hell of a ship and crew.

Host K`Beth says:
::leans back in the chair a bit:: Modex: You never did answer.  Why are Romulans so concerned with threats to the Federation?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Smiles warmly as Tellus opens the door behind K'Beth::  Who else would be more concerned?

Host K`Beth says:
::shrugs as well as one can shrug while tied up:: Modex: Then I'd say we are on the same side...wouldn't you?

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth sees Tellus and a figure dressed in a dark cloak enter and stand in front of her, about two meters away.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: I'd like to think so, but then again, if we are, why won't you tell us what we want to know?

Host K`Beth says:
::looks up at them inquiringly before turning back to Modex:: Modex: Because there is nothing to tell.  But somehow I don't think either of you believe that.  Modex, we are both working for the same thing so let's just call this a misunderstanding and continue on as if this never happened.  Sound good?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Sighs and shakes his head::  You know, I almost believe you, I truly do.  ::Walks across the room.::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> CO: The problem for us, and for you too, is that we DON'T believe you.  But...no matter.  Soon, we shall know the truth.

Host Brett says:
Action: The cloaked figure steps closer and folds back his hood revealing the dimples temples indicative of an Ullian.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> CO: ::Smiling almost triumphantly::  This is Mr. Tek.  He will help you to remember.  Last chance Captain, tell us your secrets, or Tek will get them....his way.

Host K`Beth says:
::automatically strengthens her mental shields using every technique her brother taught her:: Tellus: I can't tell you what I don't know. ::looks over at Modex:: Modex: Why are you a part of this?   You can stop this, Modex  This isn't you. .::let's her voice show disappointment in him::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Smiles coldly::  It isn't?  Then who is it?

Host Brett says:
<Tek> ::Steps close to K'Beth and places his hands on her temples.  He holds her head still and looks intently at her.  Soon, she can feel his presence in her head, poking and testing her mental defenses.

Host K`Beth says:
::rocks herself back and then abruptly forward throwing herself and the chair up and forward in an effort to head butt him:: Ullian: Get off, you baktag!

Host Brett says:
Action: The maneuver works, to a degree.  K'Beth's tough cranium connects with Tek's nose and lip, causing him to yelp and step back, clutching his bleeding face.  Tellus growls with frustration and impatience.

Host K`Beth says:
::sits back down with the chair as it settles and stares at Tek almost in defiance before sitting back with a calmer expression on her face::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Stalks over behind her and wraps his arms around her neck and face in a maneuver usually used to break someone's neck.  But instead of twisting, he simply holds her head in place, though it does make her breathing difficult.

Host K`Beth says:
::tries to rock the chair again and knock Tellus off balance....hoping to get a toe or two of his under the hard chair legs.  Coughs as the effort makes it harder to breathe but keeps it up::

Host Brett says:
Action: This time, Tellus has all the leverage and K'Beth is not able to move the chair enough to matter.  Tek approaches again, and roughly grips her head between his hands.  Blood still drips from his nose and begins to land on K'Beth's trouser leg.

Host Brett says:
<Tek> CO: ::Smiles revealing greenish teeth and bad breath::  So, a feisty one eh?  I like the ones that fight back.  ::Licks his bloody lip lasciviously and again probes her mind.::

Host K`Beth says:
::even though it appears to be fruitless, still tries to fight them physically....drawing on her rising anger to strengthen her mental shields and defy him::

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth feels his presence strongly in her mind now, probing and pushing against her mental shields.   He is strong and great concentration will be required to keep him from getting into her thoughts.

Host K`Beth says:
::stops struggling as her focus turns solely onto his presence in her mind.  The outside world fading away as she continues to deny him access::

Host Brett says:
<Tek> ::Frowns and increases his efforts::

Host Brett says:
Action: Soon, sweat joins the blood dripping from Tek's face.  Staring into her eyes with a piercing gaze, he focuses his efforts to pierce her defenses.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Watches with some amusement and one eyebrow raised::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> Tek: Come on, come on.  She is only part Betazoid.  She has shown no evidence of telepathic training.  What's wrong with you?

Host K`Beth says:
::a low Klingon growl emits out of her as she draws on that part of her heritage...the part of her that would never give up and give this scum what he wants::

Host Brett says:
<Tek> ::Begins to tremble with the effort.  His hands are clamped to K'Beth's head as he pushes harder against her mental wall, like an ice pick trying to pierce a piece of wood.

Host Brett says:
Action: Veins begin to stand out on Tek's head.  Modex watches more intently now, as one would watch any great contest of athletes or combatants.

Host K`Beth says:
::her breath coming harder as she struggles to breathe under Tellus' hold.  The pain in her mind was becoming increasingly, incredibly painful with each push against her shields.  Using that pain she concentrated on it...turning it against him....using it to resolve her will even harder::

Host Brett says:
<Tek> ::Reaching the end of his endurance, attempts one last mental push.  Focusing all his energy and mental strength, he drives into her shields as hard as he can, crying out in pain at the effort it costs him.

Host K`Beth says:
::pain explodes through her mind as he hits her mentally with everything.  She could feel herself weakening as she threatens to black out but then she sees the faces of everyone she cares about...everyone who would be harmed if he broke her and got through and one last bit of strength and determination welled up in her.  Clenching her fists and biting her lower lip she pushes back against him with another growl of defiance::

Host Brett says:
Action: Both combatants feel a sudden flash of intense pain, their vision blanks out as the agony turns everything white for a few moments.  K'Beth feels a mental tearing in her mind and is certain that the back of her skull has just exploded.

Host Brett says:
Action: Tek's cry of effort tapers off to a whimper as fresh blood pours from his nose and several small veins in his forehead burst, causing a spider web bruise to form.  The Ullian slumps to the floor, sliding revoltingly down her body as he goes, before crumpling at her feet.

Host K`Beth says:
::slumps forward causing Tellus' hold to crush against her windpipe even more... too much in pain to even care::

Host Brett says:
Action: With a cry of outrage Tellus looses his hold on K'Beth and storms around the room for a moment, ranting incoherently.  Modex watches him patiently.

Host K`Beth says:
::feels her body automatically take deep breaths now that she can breathe again::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::looks at K'Beth, rage in his eyes and something else, burning even hotter.  CO: Fine!  That's good!  ::Laughs, somewhat maniacally::  I wanted to break you myself anyway.  And I will, oh don't mistake it, I will!  ::Strides past K'Beth, just out of reach, and exits the room::

Host Brett says:
Action: The door, slamming open on hinges against the wall.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Walks slowly over and, keeping a watchful eye on K'Beth, begins to drag the Ullian away.::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> CO: For what it is worth, I am very impressed.

Host K`Beth says:
::barely registers that Tellus left or Modex’s presence.  Sits still, slumped against the band around her chest, her head down.  With great effort licks her dry lips her mouth too dry to speak. ::

Host Brett says:
Action: Modex exits, leaving K'Beth alone again.  Her head throbs in agony and something about her brain doesn't feel quite right.  Thus, it is with some dismay that she feels the thin trickle of blood run from her nose and begin to drip onto her trousers, to mingle with Tek's.

Host Brett says:
INFO: K'Beth awakens to the same blank room as before, only the msall table as decoration.  She has a splitting headache, her vision is slightly blurred, she is a bit dizzy and very thirsty.  How long she has been here...she cannot say.  Only the dried blood on her face and trousers mark the passage of time.

Host Brett says:
<small>

Host K`Beth says:
::licks at her dried lips and peers around the blurry room::

Host K`Beth says:
::pulls at the restraints, then gives up and lets her head hang down trying to will the pain to subside::

Host Brett says:
Action: The door behind K'Beth opens and the now familiar figures of Modex and Tellus enter.  Tellus moves to the table and places a small carrying case on it.  He opens it and then glares at K'Beth for a moment.

Host K`Beth says:
::raises her head slowly and looks at him silently::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Studies K'Beth with something approaching pity in his eyes::  K'Beth: Well, it appears you are a stronger telepath than our records indicated.  My congratulations on your defeat of Tek.

Host K`Beth says:
::looks over at him and gives a small nod:: Modex: What happened to you, Modex?

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Smiles coldly::  Perhaps I am not the same man you sought a relationship with.  Perhaps I was simply using you to get what I wanted.

Host K`Beth says:
Modex: And that was? ::licks at her dry mouth again as her voice comes out rough::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Paces about the room, fingering a device in his hand impatiently.  It appears to be a hypospray.::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> K'Beth: Information on Starfleet ship deployments, patrol schedules, crew rosters...perhaps you as well.

Host K`Beth says:
::shakes her head slightly and manages a short chuckle:: Modex: Well then you're barking up the wrong tree, Modex.  Because you're getting none of that. ::straightens up in the chair a bit and tries to focus on him::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Looks at her intently, staring into her eyes.  After a moment he turns to Tellus::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> Tellus: I believe her Commander.  If she knew anything, she'd have told us by now...or at least would not act as she is now.  I think you are mistaken about her.

Host K`Beth says:
::her eyes narrow as she hears Modex...suspicious about  his sudden change of heart::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Stops pacing and glares at Modex, Shaking the hypospray at him like a stick...::  Modex: What do you know?!  You and your group have done nothing to protect us.  It is people like me who keep us safe!  I will conduct this interrogation and I will determine what she does and doesn't know!  And I belive she knows a lot more than <c>

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> She's telling.  ::Walks slowly over to K'Beth and smiles down at her, his eyes are bright and a twitch tics at one corner of his mouth::  Oh yes...she knows.  She'd have us believe she simply found all those Romulan agents on her own...just stumbled into them.  But I know differently!  She is a Romulan agent...<c>

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> She was given those agents as fodder to ingratiate herself into the fold...then she would learn all sorts of little secrets to pass on to her handlers...It is so plain to see!  Why am I the only ONE WHO DOES?!  ::Shouts at the ceiling::

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: Maybe because you are wrong and everyone else is right?  I'm not a damn spy for either side....how many times do I have to say this to you and Doleo....::stops and looks at him closely and then shakes her head:: No....impossible.....

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Stares at her, panting::  And I suppose you and your decrepit old ship and her crew of children suceeded where trained Intelligence agents have failed...time and again?  I almost believe you aren't a spy, you lie so badly.  ::Chuckles::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Steps forward and places a hand on Tellus' arm.::  Commander, perhaps we should re-think our position here...

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Jerks his arm away::  Modex: What?  Why?  I'll have the truth from her.. oh yes...I will have it.  ::Brandishes the hypospray and stalks over to K'Beth.::

Host K`Beth says:
::almost puzzled:: Tellus: A few hours...or days...ago you were concerned that I was going to spy on the Romulan Empire for Starfleet.  Now you are concerned that I'm spying on Starfleet for the Romulans.  I'm curious...why the sudden shift?

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: Ahhhh!  You begin to see.  Well, it does not matter...traitor!  ::Roughly injects K'Beth's neck with the hypo.::  Now we will see.  ::tosses the hypo across the room and strides over in front of K'Beth again, a few meters away.  Looks at her with a triumphant smile::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Stands straighter and looks quite serious now.::

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus/Modex: Beginning to see?  ::peers at them blearily::  Something isn't right here....

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: I have just injected you with a neuralitic drug.  It will begin to paralyze your diaphragm in a few minutes.   You will then begin to have trouble breathing, you will feel as if you are drowning.  Shortly after that...you will die.

Host K`Beth says:
::gives a grim grin:: Tellus: Well then I guess if I can't breathe...I can't talk.  Sort of shot yourself in the foot this time....::blinks to clear her head::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::The grin fades and he glares at her::  K'Beth: No!  Oh no, you'll talk.  Why?  Because I have the antidote.  ::Rushes over to the case and shows her another hypospray::  Yes, see?  Here it is.  Tell me what I want to know and I'll save you.  ::Giggles::  I don't really want to hurt you you know?  I only want what's best for all of us...

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: Sorry to disappoint you...but I really don't have anything to say. ::feels her breath shorten:: I would like to know who you really are though, or at least if you are who I think you are.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: Oh?  You'd like to know?  You'd like to know?!  Well first, tell me what I'D LIKE TO KNOW!!  ::Screams loudly at her, face turning red.::

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: ::quietly...her breath coming harder and more labored:: Then I guess we'll both be disappointed. ::coughs and winces as her head protests as loudly as her lungs::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> Tellus: Commander, she won't tell you...she can't!  She doesn't know anything!

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> Modex: Shut up!  ::Looks at K'Beth::  She is part Klingon, dying like this is not honorable...she won't risk her soul in the afterlife...she'll talk.

Host K`Beth says:
Tellus: :her voice harsh as she tries to pull more air in, anger giving her voice more strength and volume:: You're right...I am part Klingon...and I would never betray my ship or Starfleet.  Which also means I would never admit to a lie.  I am not...and never have been a Romulan spy.  ::sits and glares at him...gasping for breath::

Host Brett says:
Action: As her blurred vision dims, and te sounds of the room fade away, K'Beth sees a look of horror pass over Tellus' face.

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> K'Beth: No.  NO!  ::Rushes forward and grasps her shoulders, shaking her::  You must tell me!  They all think I'm an imbecile!  You have to help me!  Nooooo!!!!

Host K`Beth says:
::her head snaps back and forth as Tellus shakes her and she realizes that the pain has faded in the background along with everything else.  She registers the desperation in his voice and curiously a part of her feels sorry for him.  It was with regret that she realized that this was it....she was dying...she wondered if there was a Delphyne in <c>

Host K`Beth says:
Stov'akor.

Host K`Beth says:
<add :: to the end and check the spelling of Stov'akor>

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Grabs a small scanner out of the kit on the table and brings it over.::

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Beth's head slumps forward and Tellus stares at her for long moments as Modex runs the scanner over her.::

Host Brett says:
<Tellus> ::Gives a strangled cry and rushes over to the other side of the room, retireves the hypospray there and comes back, injecting K'Beth's neck.  He waits for a few moments, then glances at Modex.::

Host Brett says:
<Modex> ::Looks at the scanner and shakes his head.::

Host Brett says:
Action: Tellus desperately tears the restrains from K'Beth's arms and legs, then lays her out quickly on the floor.  He begins clumsy attempts at resuscitation.

Host Brett says:
Action: After almost a minute, Tellus slumps down onto K'Beth's inert body.  Modex shakes his head and sets the scanner down.

Host Brett says:
<Modex> Tellus: She's dead commander.  And she beat you after all.  ::Smirks and walks towards the door.::

Host Brett says:
