Summary: Leaving the hellish world of Corialis behind, the Delphyne makes its way out of the system to rendezvous with a Federation ship to transfer personnel.

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Sitting on the bridge, wondering when the other shoe is going to drop. ::

MO_Freeze says:
::Accesses the latest readout of vital signs from the biobed's biofunction monitor::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::looks at the biobed as it makes its noise, seeing the drop in readings, feels worried for Llewellyn but says nothing::

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*: Status report?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: The CMO is being operated on... and his condition does not look good

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*: Is there anything we can get for you?

FCO_Runaway says:
::sitting at the helm making sure the shipis on course::

MO_Freeze says:
::As she receive the readout, shakes her head with disapproval, as if the doctor's condition is somehow the doctor's fault::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: No, the doctors are handling the removal of the parasite at his brainstem. It is a delicate proceedure... nautrally. ::sounds especially emotionless as it is effecting her deeply inside::

CO_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Estimated time for rendezvous with the USS Glorious?

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Sir, the interferance from the star has been steadily decreasing and the sensors have began to clear.  Our ETA is ten minutes.

CO_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Very good. Steady as she goes.

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Understood, sir. Steady on course.

Brett says:
Action: Shortly, the Glorious comes into range and hails the Delphyne.

MO_Freeze says:
::Detachedly detaches the last vestige of the parasite from the doctor's brainstem and sets it on the "catch tray" to the side of the biobed:: CSO: It's complete.   ::Silently begins the process of "patching" up Llewllyn::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods:: MO: Understood... ::goes to the tray and scans the parasite::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: This should be in a biocontainment unit.

CO_Mash`ev says:
<TO_Day>: CO: We're being hailed by the Glorious.

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Onscreen.

Brett says:
Action: The parasite begins crawling toward the Doctor, dragging its severed tentacles.

MO_Freeze says:
Parasite: Ew.    CSO: Would you contain it please?

Brett says:
Action: The screen comes to life revealing a Starfleet Captain.  She is a an older woman who smiles tightly at the Del's CO.

MO_Freeze says:
::Erects a protective biostasis field about Llewllyn's biobed::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods:: Computer: Erect a containment field around the creature in the tray.

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO:  Greetings commander.  We'll be alongside shortly.  Are you ready on your end?

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Glorious: CO: Aye, captain. We'll be ready.

Brett says:
Action: The parasite contacts the forcefield and seems to be trying with single-minded purpose to pass through it and reach its former host, though it is having no luck.

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO: Excellent.  Stand by.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::nods with a bit of satisfaction as she sees the parasite try and fail, goes to find a more physical and permanent contaner::

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Checks personnel roster one more time. ::

Brett says:
Action: The Glorious turns and falls into formation with the Delphyne.  In a few minutes, they signal that they too are ready for personnel transfer.

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Begin transfer of personnel.

Brett says:
<TO> CO: Aye sir.  ::Contacts the transporter room and they begin the transfer.  It is expected to take a few minutes.::

FCO_Runaway says:
::keeps the Del in line with the Glorious::

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO: Well, I guess congratulations are in order Commander.  I'm told you're getting the nod to command that old bucket.  ::Smiles::

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Very good. Keep me informed of the progress.

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Glorious: CO: Aye, it's a right fine ship. ::smiles::  Thank you, captain. I look forward to the challenge.

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO: ::Nods::  Well, it looks like we're done here.  Anything else we can do for you before we head back toward civilization?

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Glorious: CO: Not today, captain. We're going to get under weigh as soon as we can get a clear report to Starfleet. Blasted interference...

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO:  Understood.  Looks like a nasty place.  I have no idea why Starfleet would want to colonize that system anyway.

CO_Mash`ev says:
COM: Glorious: CO: Mine is not to question why....  ::shrugs::

Brett says:
<Glorious> COM:Del:CO: Quite.  ::Chuckles::  Good luck Captain.  Glorious out.

MO_Freeze says:
::Coldly regards the parasite:: CSO: May I take a few readings on it?

Brett says:
Action: The screen goes blank, the returns to a view of the Glorious breaking away and shortly going to warp.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: Certainly.

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Watches the screen change back to the standard fore setting, looks at the stars and wonders what might be next. But only for a moment. ::

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Encapsulate and encrypt the data for Starfleet and get that sent, now that we're clear of the ion disturbances.

CO_Mash`ev says:
<TO_Day>: Aye, sir.  ::begins putting a data packet together. ::

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*: We're preparing to send data to Starfleet on the current situation. Is there anything you want to append?

MO_Freeze says:
::Carefully moves the parasite and tray over to the medical scanner. Situates it securely::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: The MO is doing a work up on the parasite now that its seperate from the CMO.

MO_Freeze says:
::Initiates a level 3 scan and returns to Doctor Llewllyn's side::

MO_Freeze says:
CSO: Are there better containment containers in the Science Lab? I'd like to err on the side of caution.

Brett says:
Action: The info is sent to Starfleet and, a reply is not long in coming.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: They are the same type... Doctor would you handle this with the forceps... and place it inside this container? ::opens the container::

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Sir,We are headed where???? ::waits for the coordinates for their next destination::

CO_Mash`ev says:
<TO:> Message for you, sir.

Brett says:
INFO: Sector command sends back orders to return to Corialis and further the investigation.

MO_Freeze says:
::Takes the forceps and carefully transfers the creature from one container to the next::

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Onscreen.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: I suppose a study of this thing is in order...

CO_Mash`ev says:
:: Hears the message from Starfleet. Wonders how he's going to break this to the CSO. ::

CSO_Rhykmal says:
::seals the container::

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*  How are things going, lieutenant?

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Sir? Heading?

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: The operation is complete, the parasite is in containment and the CMO should recover.

CO_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Take us back to the colony, ensign.

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: The colony??? Understood, sir. Inputing the coordinates and plot laid out, sir. Speed?

MO_Freeze says:
CSO: Indeed.

CO_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Half-impulse and put us in geosynchronus orbit above the colony.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: I wonder how long the parasite will live after it is seperate from its host? ::pauses and looks at it curiously in its container:: What readings did you get from your medical scan?

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Understood, sir.   Speed and course set. Executing now.

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*:  Congradulations. Learn all you can from that parasite. Starfleet has ordered us back to the colony to investigate.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: Understood. ::pauses:: Sir... is there a way we can.... ::pauses as it pains her::

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Course and speed is consistent, sir.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
*CO*: disintegrate all of the corpses on the ground from up here? Right now... I find it difficult to believe there is a single soul alive on that planet.

MO_Freeze says:
::At the CSO's request, checks the results of the scan::

CO_Mash`ev says:
*CSO*: I agree, there might not be any way of saving them. But let's be absolutely sure before we make that move.

Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne re-enters the Corialis system, again heading for the colony where, only a short day before, they met creatures from their nightmares.

Brett says:
Action: An hour passes, and the Delphyne returns to orbit over the planet.

FCO_Runaway says:
CO: Sir, geosyncrious orbit achieved.

CO_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Very good, ensign.

MO_Freeze says:
Self: Hmm...

Brett says:
<TO> CO: Sir, um, I have checked my sensors twice, and despite the radiation...I think I have some, um, bad news.

CSO_Rhykmal says:
MO: Any idea what might kill these things?

FCO_Runaway says:
Self:: I don't like the sound of that.  Now what else could go wrong?

CO_Mash`ev says:
TO: Bad news? Please be more specific, lieutenant.

FCO_Runaway says:
::listens intently::

Brett says:
<TO> Well sir, you remember that freighter that used to be here?

Brett says:
