Brett
Summary: The Delphyne has left the mysterious Amenti Array behind as they rejoin the freighter for its journey to Federation space.

Brett 
Summary: They have not gotten far, when a signal from the Array reaches them in the wake of the energy pulse they detected earlier.  It seems the pulse was not, altogether, intended.

Brett
 <<<Resume Mission - "Sanctum: Temple of Fire - Part 7">>>>

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::quietly wonders why the Federation is spying on the Tholians... then, is disrupted from her reverie by the wake of the energy pulse::

Brett 
Action: An emergency signal from the array reaches the Delphyne.  The signal is low powered and on a tight beam, as well as being on a Starfleet secure channel.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
::On the bridge going over result scores on crew battle drills held earlier in the holo-deck::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
::Sits up sharply and goes over her read outs -- the Vulcan science officer's silent version of "what was that?"::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad 
::Sits in her office, with not much else to do but hover over her staff...and that isn't nice::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CSO: What was that?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
CO: I am uncertain... ::looks to the CTO as if she might know::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
::Signal from the array, on his console, catches his eye::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CO: I'm picking up a signal.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CTO: Go on...

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
::Touches her board::  CO: It's a COM signal.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CTO: Can you play it?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CO: It's low powered and a tight beam....::pauses then looks up:: And it's on a Starfleet secure channel.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
CTO: So, put it through, let’s have a listen.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
XO: Aye ::taps a command::

SFI_Capt_Johns 
@::Standing in a smokey command center:: COM: Delphyne: Delphyne, this is Captain Johns. ::coughs:: Requesting assistance.

CNS_Ens_Silelik 
::Turns his attention from the notes he’s taken on the ventriloquist biologist and listens to the message::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
:: Looks at the XO in surprise, raising an eyebrow.::  COM: Station: Johns:  Captain Johns, this is the Delphyne, how can we assist?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
CO: Now, he wants to see us. He should make up his mind.

SFI_Capt_Johns 
@::Voice distorted in the transmission:: COM: Delphyne: Expe..nced a power surge. ...ygen Tanks exploded. Losing atmosph....

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
CO: That is consistent with the energy reading we just saw.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
::Checks the sensors::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
COM: Station: Johns: Move personnel to a safe location, we'll come and get you. 
XO: Time for a rescue.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
:: Seems resigned to the effort. ::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Staring off at nothing, lost in thought...again::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
aFCO: Turn us around, head back to the array, your best speed.

SFI_Capt_Johns 
COM: Delphyne: Hur.y! ::Closes the channel with a cough::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
*CMO*: Doctor, we are headed back to the array for a possibly rescue mission, please have your team prepared.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CTO: Have the Amenti ship follow us, so we can keep an eye on them. This will be quick, if they complain.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
::Quietly suspects something happened on the array... and reflects on the usually unthought-of dangers of science and new cutting edge technology::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad 
::Mind registers someone spoke to her...taps her COM badge:: *XO*: Aye, Sir. What condition should we expect of the survivors? ::Walks out into main sickbay and motions to her staff that they have a situation developing::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CSO: Try and get some readings this time.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
<aFCO>: XO: Aye, Sir. ::Sets new course back to array station::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CO: Aye  ::sends message to the Amenti::

CNS_Ens_Silelik 
::Looks to the captain:: CO/XO: This will definitely give us a closer look at what's been going on at that station.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Nods:: CO: Aye sir. I'll do what I can, but it the array is in a state of disrepair, the readings may well be equally unsatisfactory to fulfill our desire for answers and information::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CSO: Agreed, but see what we can learn.
CNS: And we'll get a chance to see who's working on the station as well. That could be informative as well.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
CNS: Amen, to that Counselor. I hate secrets and this Johns fellow seems to have a few.
*CMO*: They have experienced power surges. That's all we know, so far. Please, stand by.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
::Board beeps softly::  CO: Sensors are showing some damage to the station consistent with an explosion.  Damage is not extensive, but they are definitely losing atmosphere.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CTO: Search for life forms and be ready to beam them all up.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CO/XO:  Sensors indicate the hull of the array's main module is now charged with polaron energy.  Transporters won't work in or out of the module.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer 
<aFCO>: CO/XO: ETA back to Array Station, five minutes, Sirs.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
COM: Station: Johns: We're going to begin emergency beam out when we're in range. Be prepared.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
::Wonders how they will get people out, if the transporters won't work:: CTO: Do they have escape pods?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CO:  Sir, I'm having trouble detecting life signs.  The polaron energy is making it difficult.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CTO: Hopefully, Captain Johns will lower that polaron energy field surrounding the station.

SFI_Capt_Johns 
@ ::Blinking past soot in the air, wondering when blasted Delphyne will show up::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
COM: Station: Johns: We're having trouble locking on due to a polaron energy field? Please advise.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CSO:  No life pods that I can scan.

SFI_Capt_Johns 
::Slaps the COM button:: COM: Delphyne: Reac.or can't be turned off. Feedback loo.. ::coughs::

CNS_Ens_Silelik 
::Raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Aren't polarons consistent with anti-shield torpedo technology?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
CNS: I'm not sure, but it does sound familiar. 
CO: Sir, the polaron isn't a field, but it seems to be an after-effect of the explosion.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal 
CO: The energy field is an effect from the energy surge on the station. ::hears the CTO:: and without transporters... how would we be able to get them off?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika 
CSO:  We'll have to go on board and rescue them. ::Taps a command for Sid to come to the bridge::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
CSO: Looks like we're going to have to get some shuttles over there.

Brett
INFO: The Delphyne arrives at the array.  A floating cloud of frozen gas billows from a rupture in one section.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
<aFCO>:: Arriving at the station he puts the Del in park::

Brett
INFO: Scorch marks and a gaping hole show where an internal explosion blew out the hull plating.  The plating bends outward, indicating an internal explosion.

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Nursing a singed arm, makes his way through the smoke to one of the bodies lying on the deck::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Pauses and blinks....for having a medical degree, he really sucks at giving an accurate injury projection...and that's basic medical skill....oh well...:: Staff: Well, you heard him, vague as it was. I suppose expect burns and normal injuries...::pauses:: perhaps toxic atmosphere exposure? or lack of atmosphere?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Nods at the CO::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CO: Shall I take a team over, Sir?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
XO: Yes, lead an away team over there with the shuttles and get the survivors out of there. Take some spare environmental suits as well.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CO: Aye, Sir.
CSO/CTO: You're both with me. ::Heads to TL::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
XO: Aye  ::Nods at Sid to take over the TAC station::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
*CMO*: Bring a team to Shuttle Bay 1, we are going over there.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
CO: All signs indicate that there was an internal explosion... ::hears the XO:: XO: Aye, Sir. ::follows him, tricorder in hand::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<Nosetail> ::Watches the XO, CSO and CTO, moves to the TAC station::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
::In TL waiting for the Ladies::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
CSO: Understood, be careful over there.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
::Enters and moves aside for the others::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
XO: Sir I recommend environmental suits. ::waits for CTO:: CO: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
TL: Shuttle Bay 1, please.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
COM: Station: Johns:  Help is on the way. Try to get everyone together.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
*XO*: Aye, Sir. ::Turns around:: 
Medic: Sparks! Get your team, let's go. ::grabs her med kit and walks out the door to meet the medical team into the corridor...and they move rapidly toward the TL::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CSO: Yes, make sure every one has one and have extras brought with us.

SFI_Capt_Johns
::Doesn't reply, too busy dragging one of the technicians away from a dangerously sparking console::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CTO: I'll leave you to provide standard phasers, just in case.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
XO: They'll be ready when we are, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
::TL Stops and he leads the others into the Shuttle Bay and readies to depart::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
::Finds this all fascinating and figures he should look over the science station in Rhykmal's stead::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<Sven> XO: Sir.  ::Hands him a phaser then, passes them out to the rest::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
::Takes phaser from Sven:: Sven: Thanks. 
CTO: Can you fly this thing over there?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Goes and gets as many suits as she and other crew in the shuttlebay can carry to the shuttle::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
::Inside a shuttle preparing to go::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Reaches the Shuttle Bay and moves over to the other three...and pauses as she spots the suits, and scowls::  CSO: Was there atmosphere loss or environmental hazard exposure? ::Ticked, as this should have been an obvious thing to report::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<Sven> CTO: Yours.  ::Holds out a phaser::

Brett
Action: In short order, the relief effort tis organized and the group assembles in the Delphyne's two remaining shuttlecraft.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
XO: Sir, I'd like to have at least one security officer in each shuttle.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CTO: Your call, take as many as you think we need.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Is surprised, but unruffled by the CMO's hostile nature:: CMO: Yes there was a loss of atmosphere and some kind of explosion that has left an energy residue of a poloron nature.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
XO: Can do.  ::nods and motions to Sven::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Finishes her task and gets into one of the shuttles and begins donning her suit::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Takes a deep breath...no worry, they've skills for such situations:: CSO: Well, wonderful being informed....::sentence drips with sarcasm...but not necessarily directed at Syrna, as Raine moves toward a shuttle to get into her suit::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
ALL: Lets go folks, party's waiting.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Raises an eyebrow at the CMO::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CSO: Can you keep tabs on the other shuttle, make sure they don’t get lost?

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
::Wonders how the other crew would get lost, but quietly nods and quickly goes to the other shuttle::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
XO: Sir, I have Erickson and T'lait on the other shuttle.  ::Sven sits towards the back of the shuttle::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
CTO: That's good, let's punch it.

Brett
Action: The two shuttles leave the Delphyne and make their way to the Array's airlocks.  Docking is accomplished quickly.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
*CSO*: Are we going to find ourselves in any danger over here due to their technical situation?

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Wakes up from passing out when he feels the shudder of the shuttle's connection to the station:: ::stumbles to his knees and crawls through the thickening smoke::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
::Looks at sensors:: CO: Sir, I'm going to keep a watch on their bio-signs. I carry a level of concern about whether the EVA suits are enough defense against the polarons and any form of residual radiation.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Pleased with the quick transition, and takes a deep breath before she stands, ready to depart the shuttle, unsure what she will find on the other side::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@*ALL*: Okay, everybody out. Keep your eyes open this could be a trap.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
CSN: Very good, Counselor. See if you can manage a transport lock, maybe once they get clear of the station?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@:: Motions Sven out::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
::Glances at the CSO, since she is the senior officer::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<Erickson> #::Moves out of the other shuttle scanning as T'lait moves out with the others::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Gets out of the other shuttle:: *XO*: Due to atmospheric loss I recommend EVA suits... and they should protect us from any potential radiation.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::On the ground, inside the array stations docking bay, in a EVA suit::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Follows the CSO out of the shuttle, but fans out with the medical team to search for survivors::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Nods at the other security crew:: XO: Sir, all are ready.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@CSO: Please monitor levels of our exposure.

Brett
@INFO: The interior of the array is small and cramped.  The corridors are spartan; exposed conduits, metal decking and harsh lighting indicate this is not a place with comforts.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#ALL: The Delphyne's sensors had a difficult time getting life readings. We may experience the same.

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Makes it to the airlock finally and squints through the smoke for the green light above before opening the door, collapsing near it in a coughing fit::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
CO: Definitely, Sir. If I can, I'll try to isolate any bio-signatures of survivors and bring them up. ::thinks:: Is there any reason to suspect any parties on board as being responsible for the explosion?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Uses tricorder to detect life signs, needing direction::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Turns in a circle with a tricorder in her left hand and the phaser in her right::

Brett
@INFO: Emergency lighting sheds a red hue over the interior.  A haze of smoke hangs in the air.  Once inside, tricorder readings pinpoint the inhabitants; about two dozen life signs, a mix of humanoids and Amenti.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Whips out her tricorder after hearing the XO an starts scanning::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
CNS: No, it appeared to be an accident.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@ALL: I'm picking up a signal near the stations air dock.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Notices her team moving with the others::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@ALL: They are this way. ::Leads them to where many life sign signatures show up on his scans::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Presses his back against the wall and pulls his legs up, still coughing::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Moves to catch up with Bauer::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
@::Sees the other crew and follows along, telling some of the other crew to bring the extra suits::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Hastens to follow the XO, being careful not to walk in front...he might be the touchy sort about that...walking in front of a superior officer and such::

Brett
INFO: The rescue party begins encountering station personnel.  Most appear to be in no immediate danger, but are suffering from smoke inhalation and the early stages of hypoxia.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Finds about two dozen wounded:: CMO: There you are Doc, do your thing.

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Spots lights spearing through the smoke ahead and wonders if he's really seeing them::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Keeps an eye on Bauer, not letting him get too far from her:: Self: What is it about Captains and Commanders always getting ahead of security?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@CSO: I'll leave you in charge here with the rescue. I'm going to go find Captain Johns.
@CTO: You're with me.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@XO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Raises an eyebrow at the XO, but decides it isn't the time to respond, and instead continues with her approach to the wounded:: Med Team: Give a mask to the most critically in need of oxygen...then we'll start with the suits. Get them back to the shuttle bay as quickly as you can and out of....this ::waves hand around, moving forward to help::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@CTO: He's near the airlock, this way. ::Uses tricorder to track Johns::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Moves with Bauer, phaser at the ready::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#XO: Sir! Take a medic...::remembers his insistence at his own medical degree:: Or at least this! ::holds up her med kit::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::nods:: XO: Aye. ::turns to the CMO:: CMO: I believe medical is your bailiwick.. you should be the one to direct your teams.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@CMO: Good thinking. ::Takes kit::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: No kidding? ::turns back to treating the wounded...stabilizing a leg fracture at the moment.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Moves through station until they reach air dock and Captain Johns. He is on the floor::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<Erickson> #::Moves slightly away from the CMO and CSO with the pretense of helping the wounded::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: Sir? ::Takes medical Tricorder and does a scan on the downed man::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Considers a moment whether or not she should suggest the CMO should not be so consistently combative::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Shields his eyes at the sudden light and almost starts at the man in the suit:: XO: Who.. ::cough:: ...are you?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Moves in a quick circle with the tricorder, then kneels down by Johns::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Tilts the head of her patient up slightly from the floor so he looks her in the face:: Patient: How many of you are there? And no funny answers, I want a true number.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Gets tricorder readings on the environment and everything she can about the station as per her Captain's orders::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: Sir, can you tell me what happened? ::Begins a diagnosis and treatment plan::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # ::Helps with triage, stays out of the CMO's way, but helps with the wounded::

SFI_Capt_Johns
#<Patient> CMO: Twenty...::cough::...seven.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: I am Commander Zach Bauer, of the Delphyne. This is Lieutenant Llynisika.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Sighs:: Patient: Do you know how many we should look for, who might not have made it? ::Voice is considerably softer, along with her expression...voice gentle::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#All: Those of you who can walk should start making your way to the shuttles once medical has cleared you.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Nods at Johns::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Injects Johns with hypo spray for pain and treats serious burns triage style::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Glances at the blue-faced woman in the next suit and then back at Bauer:: XO: Captain... ::coughs up black saliva:: Lucas Johns. We had a feedback loop. It jumped circuits. Got into the ::cough:: superstructure.

SFI_Capt_Johns
# <Patient> ::points weakly:: CMO: Storage module. ::coughs:: Tanks.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@Johns: Sir, is there anyone else that might be trapped?

Brett
INFO: A number of array personnel begin making their way to the shuttles.  It is apparent that the two small ships cannot carry all of the survivors in one trip.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Administers a decongestant to clear up his lungs:: 

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Turns and follows his point, then nods and sets his head back down on the deck:: CSO: I have to get over there to the storage module... ::doesn't really wait for an answer as she stands and starts to move around those on the floor::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Shakes his head:: XO: I need the station back online. Need a repair team.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#CMO: Shouldn’t you be working on patients? I can do what ever needs to be done over there.  What needs to be done?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@*CO*: Sir, Captain Johns is requesting a repair team, can we spare a few engineers?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::points to the TO nearest her:: TO: You, come with me. ::looks at Sparks:: Sparks: You as well. ::looks at the CSO::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#CSO: There are more, these ::motions to the survivors they found:: will be fine if they are treated soon...all are or will be cleared to leave. Nothing fatal.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # ::Moves with the Doctor::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#CMO: As I said before I am not the medical expert... but, I do need to know what you are doing.  Considering that the XO left me in charge.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
*XO*: Yes, we'll get a team ready to go over there but, rescue the survivors first.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: Was your trouble an accident or ...?

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::looks at Bauer with hard eyes behind a soot-smudged face:: XO: It was an accident.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Looks at Johns with uncertainty before responding to the Captain:: *CO*: Yes, Sir, they are my priority as well.

CNS_Ens_Silelik
::Has sensors directed on isolating bio-signatures, while also monitoring the polaron radiation::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
:: Puts a call in to the Chief Engineer to put a repair team together. ::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Reaches to the blue woman:: CTO: Help me.. ::cough:: up.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Sighs impatiently:: CSO: Storage module. Tanks. Bodies...

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Looks at the XO, but reaches out to Johns::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Nods:: CMO: Then I am coming as well.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: Hey, you're going to be okay but, just relax until I'm finished fixing you up.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Rolls eyes slightly, but not seen in her helmet, moves rapidly in the direction previously indicated::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # ::Moves with a tricorder in one hand and phaser in the other::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Waves him off:: XO: I'm fine. Just give me a mask.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Puts her hand on his shoulder helping him slightly, but not all the way up::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Hands over a mask:: JOHNS: What's so important? What are you guys doing here?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@Johns: Sir, please let Commander Bauer help.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Stops at the door and glances at Syrna:: CSO: I believe this to be what he pointed at...::steps back:: I suppose opening it is your area of expertise?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # ::Gets close to the door, ready to cover it::

CNS_Ens_Silelik
::Wishes there was some way to get past the polaron interference, but realizes he's not an engineer, and it would take longer to retune the sensors than to save the survivors::

SFI_Capt_Johns
@ ::Grabs on to one of the safety straps on Llynisika's suit and hauls himself up, with or without her help:: XO/CTO: We do research. ::stumbles past them and back to the main control center::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@CTO: Watch him closely.

Brett
#INFO: The Doctor, CSO and security arrive at the explosion's source.  A blast door seals off the compartment beyond.  Through the small window, the group sees the compartment is open to space, and a single charred body is visible beneath a large beam.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Quietly notes the sarcasm:: CMO: I shall open it... but doctor, you should know that sarcasm rarely helps.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@Johns: Sir, wait!  ::moves to his side, nodding at Bauer::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Follows Johns to see what he's doing::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Stands up on her toes as best she can and looks through the window:: CSO: Perhaps, but it makes me feel better.

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#::Looks inside:: CMO: Now would not be a good time to open this door.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # CSO/CMO: I wouldn't advise opening that door  ::indicates the small window::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Goes to Main Control Center:: JOHNS: What are you up to, Captain!?!

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Slips a hand under Johns arm, helping steady him::

SFI_Capt_Johns
# ::Almost trips in the smoke, as he feels his way through it, to one of the remaining operative consoles.  Wiping off a thick layer of soot, to reach the buttons below, he punches in a sequence to lock it down, leaning heavily against the side:: XO/CTO: Get me... my repair team.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@JOHNS: We have engineers on the way! ::Isn’t to comfortable letting this guy touch anything::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Expression changes to one slightly pained at the thought of having to leave a body...a person behind...:: CSO/TO: I concur. ::voice is soft and quiet::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev
:: Looks at incoming telemetry and wonders what the away team may be seeing. ::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
@::Stays by Johns side:: Johns: Sir, please let me help ::tries to look in his eyes::  Tell me what I can do.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Lowers back down to her feet and mutters something under her breath as she turns and starts back toward the group::

CSO_Lt_Rhykmal
#CMO: We can have someone do a space walk and retrieve the body... I will do it ::though, inside she wonders if she's turning a bit green as she gets space sickness from space walks::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika
<T'lait> # CSO: I can get someone from Security to do that Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer
@::Stops the Captain:: JOHNS: I can't let you proceed, not until I know what it is you are doing, Sir.

SFI_Capt_Johns
::Grabs at his chest and falls, coughing uncontrollably, bringing up thick masses of mucus mixed with soot::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad
#::Stops and turns back, then stands next to the CSO:: CSO: Or me. ::narrows eyes slightly at the CSO....is she tinged oddly in the face? paler at least...::
