Summary:  The CTO continues to lay in sickbay his condition stable for now, however he is in a coma.  The infection that was transmitted through the fight between Spider-McQueen and Spider-Twelk has proven to be immune to most anti-biotic compounds, as well as being quiet deadly...already it has caused cardiac arrest.
 
The CMO has revived the CTO for near death, but continues to stay close and monitor the progress of his patient.  The past days being a real strain as his wife continues her trip to Starfleet medical for treatment of electrocution, her condition at least as grave as the CTO's.
 
The CO is gathering aide from the Klingon ship, she is preparing to storm the science platform to insure there are no more imposters/saboteurs aboard.
 
The CEO after all his efforts to keep the Delphyne functional has run into a new problem.  One of the auxiliary reactors will not shut down, its core temperature steadily climbing towards critical mass.  If something is not done soon the ship will have a detonation inside the hull equal to 9.873 megatons.  An H-bomb on deck 17, not good.
 
OPS is dealing both the ship flying the ship and managing power, two jobs that are being complicated by damage to the ship.  The hull damage causes a vibration and affects the warp drive; the out of control reactor will mean that if it can be deactivated the others reactors will need to bare the load.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Ten -  “Our Enemy has many faces” The face of  an imposter. 10712.05

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::standing on the bridge:: OPS: Get K'Ralt on the line.  I need to speak to him.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: contact K`Ralt and lets him know what the Captain is wanting:: CO: I have him now Captain :: puts him on screen::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::Next the reactor working away at trying to bring it down.  Sweating in the heat::
 
Info : Area near the malfunctioning reactor is approx. 140 degrees.  but its a dry heat
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
*CEO*: Chief I have the transporters locked onto the reactor and am ready to transport it to the other side of the station if need be. Just contact Rulm if you need it transported off the ship.

Sub-Commander_K`Ralt says:
COM: Delphyne : CO : Captain have you resolved the identity of this imposter?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: What is the ETA for completely cutting it out of the deck?

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*OPS*: Understood

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: K'Ralt: not to who he is...but we do know what he is.  He is a Romulan.   And the scientists are being held on the platform.  How many men can you send over to take down the imposters?  I'm going to beam over with a squad of my own.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*CO*:  I believe about 35 minutes.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Do it as fast as you can, Lt.

Sub-Commander_K`Ralt says:
COM: Delphyne: CO : This is a small vessel captain but you have 25 plus myself at your disposal

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*CO*:  Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::at TAC 1, a sensor alarm goes off::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::steps over to the tool locker and picks up a plasma cutter and heads back over to the reactor::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks it and does another scan to re-check::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: K'Ralt: Then coordinate with my OPS to beam over to strategic areas.  We'll need a layout of the platform.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
*CEO*: Chief I am reading the Reactor at 122% and calculate 1.5 hours before it blows.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::does a triple check, but the sensor contact was only there for an instant::

Sub-Commander_K`Ralt says:
:: taps buttons on his console :: COM: Delphyne: CO: Transmitting layout now.  I suggest that the control room and engineering be the main points of attack, they would make the platform into a weapon if used wrong

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: watches as the layout of the platform comes in:: CO: Receiving it now Captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM:CO: Understood.  I'll leave engineering up to you.  We'll take the control room.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*OPS*:  I should have it cut out in 30.

Sub-Commander_K`Ralt says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: Understood captain, this will be glorious.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae move down to lay close to her head as she concentrates on the board.  They move up slightly as she does find a faint power trail::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::goes to work, cutting the reactor away from the deck.  Wipes sweat from his eyes.::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: check out the areas indicated and sends the transporter room the coordinates:: CO : Transporter room has the need information.
 
Info: In the brig the Romulan imposter sits...still naked by captains orders, eating a meal

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, got something on sensors

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sighs as only a Klingon would think beaming in blind with hostile forces 'glorious':: COM: K'Ralt: We'll comm. you when we are ready to transport.  K'Beth out. ::motions to OPS to close the channel::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: What is it?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I got a sensor alarm, but it vanished as fast as it came.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: closes the channel :: CO Channel closed.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: A cloaked ship?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: Do you have a possible location on it?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: After checking it again, I did manage to find a faint power trail.  Similar to one left form a scan.  So far I haven't found a match in the database for the power trail

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::keeps a steady pace and keeps cutting.::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks back at the board, then up to Twelk:: OPS: The trail leads off to the wrecks of the two ships
 
Action: The plasma cutter is working on the thick deck plating but it is a slow hard process, temperatures are not 150+ near the reactor.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Keep an eye on it.  I'm heading down to the brig to speak to our prisoner.  You have the bridge, Commander.  Send a security team to TR1.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: If I were a cloaked ship that would be where I would try and hide at as sensors reading wouldn't be that good in that area.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Double check the coordinates and then meet me in TR1, arm yourself for heavy combat.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*OPS*:   Could you please reroute power to the ventilation system down here it's getting extremely hot.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye Ma'am ::comms. for SEC team Beta to TR 1, for away duty::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Sika, as soon as the CEO gets the reactor cut free...transport it into the wreckage of the ships.  That should take care of any visitors we might have.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
*CEO*: I will route as much as I can Chief:: reroutes ventilation to the area where the reactor is::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: I agree.  ::a soft beep from the board makes her look down::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::heads to the TL and enters:: TL: Brig.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: I've got a match from the Federation database

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: Turns the OPS console over to Rulm and heads for the TL::
 
Action: The rerouting works dropping the temperature near the reactor 20 degrees, raising it 5 on the rest of the deck

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Tell the Captain the match is a perfect one for a wave detected by a support vessel, Oracle 65817-2

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::heads into the brig and stands in front of the cell with the naked prisoner::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
::notices the change in the temperature of the ship:: Rulm: If any one complains about the heat have them go down to the Reactor room and help the CEO.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: Aye Ma'am
 
Rulm says:
:: chuckles:: Aye sir I will.
 
Terrh says:
:: stands :: CO: Greetings captain care to join me, I have nothing to hide.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: Cmdr just out of curiosity what race is the ship?

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::feels the change in temp and silently thanks Twelk::  Self:  I've got remember to buy him a drink when I can.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::purposely looks him up and down and then chuckles:: Terrh: Yep...you do have nothing. So...how many of your people are on the platform?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks:: OPS: It’s a recon ship for the USS Triton.  The power trail belongs to what’s been labeled as the 'Others'.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: steps into the TL: XO: Thanks. Rulm: Change the coordinate on the reactor transport to where the 2 wrecked ships are.

Terrh says:
::smirking :: CO: Now what type of soldier would I be if I just gave out information like that

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shrugs:: Terrh: No harm in trying.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Be careful over there.  Keep an eye on the Captain

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::pauses for a minute to catch his breath::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns to the brig chief:: Chief: Turn up the intensity of the lights in the cell by  50% and the temperature down by 25%.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: I will Cmdr. :: lets the TL doors close:: TL: Transport room 1

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::starts working away with the reactor again trying to speed things up as much as he can.::

Brig Chief says:
::looking a bit puzzled does as ordered :: CO : Aye ma'am
 
Action: The lights get brighter in the cell and the temperature begins to drop

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::casually leans against a console while she waits for the changes to take into effect::

Terrh says:
CO: Not very hospitable of you captain or do you need a more competent engineer to keep the temperature regulated.  ::continues to eat while standing up::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: exits the TL when is stops and heads for the Transporter room stopping by the weapons locker long enough to get a phaser rifle and some concussion grenades on the way.::

TO_Devlin says:
OPS: Sir.  ::nods::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::The others in the team also nod to Twelk::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Brig Chief: Turn up the lights by another 50% and drop the temperature by another 15%...and let's give out guest a little dinner music.  Play a little Klingon opera in the cell at 30% higher decibel than normal.  But shut the sound out from here...we don't need to hear it.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
TO: Delvin are you all ready?

TO_Devlin says:
::Stands at ready:: OPS: Aye, sir.  We're ready to rock and roll
 
Action: The transporter chief does as ordered.  The lights look like a football stadium, condensation is beginning to form on the sink in the cell, and the music is causing obvious discomfort to those Romulan ears

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
TO: Good as soon as the CO arrives we will be transporting into the Control room. Have all weapons set on heavy stun and do you all have concussion grenades?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::TO Devlin moves to stand at Twelk’s right, TO Norris moves to Twelk’s left with TO Albright and TO T'aaik taking up positions behind them::

TO_Devlin says:
SEC_Beta: Phasers on stun

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::pulls her jetaq out and carefully examines it for nicks and flaws while waiting for the changes to take effect::

Terrh says:
:: takes a seat on the bed placing his tray in the receptacle and holding his drink ::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
TO_Delvin: Remember not only do we take the station but we also protect the captain understood?

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::finishes cutting the reactor from the plating::  XO:  Ma'am I've finished cutting the reactor away from the deck plates.  Now I've just got to cut away the coolant lines.  Once that is done we have probably less than 10 minutes before it blows.

Rulm says:
:: hears the CEO COM:: XO: Once the lines are cut we can transport in 10 seconds.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shrugs and turns towards the brig chief:: Chief: I’ll need a phaser rifle, please  and turn the music up another 30%.  When our guest has had enough and wishes to talk...call the XO down to interrogate him. ::takes the rifle the chief hands her with a nod of thanks and heads to the TR1::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
*CEO*: Understood.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
*XO/Rulm*:  I'm beginning to cut now, be ready for my word to get it out of here

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Rulm: Stand ready.  As soon as the Heller calls up, beam it out and away

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::heading down the corridor to TR1:: *XO*: Commander...the brig chief might be calling you to speak to our guest.  When he does, get all the information you can about the complete mission and who is behind all of this.  We need to know everything we can, if we are to get the platform safely to its destination.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::begins cutting the coolant lines::
 
Action: The music rises again.  The prisoner tries to look calm by drinking his beverage.  But within a minute drops to his knees and motions to the brig officer to make it stop

Rulm says:
XO: All I need is the word. :: has hand ready on the controls::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.  We'll get the information out of him, I'm sure ::grins to herself::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::steps into TR1:: OPS: Are we ready?
 
Action: The brig chief comms the XO about the prisoners change of heart

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Yes we are Captain just waiting for you to join the fun. :: smile::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::cuts through the first of the lines and moves onto the next.:

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Out loud: That didn't take long  *Brig Chief*: On my way

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::TO_Norris moves to a spot behind the Captain on the TR stage::
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
:;grins and steps onto the pad:: OPS: I would swear you are part Klingon.  ::looks around:: Be careful in there...they have hostages...the scientists.  I'd say we are safe that anyone who is armed is a target for us.  ;;nods to Twelk::  Signal K'Ralt we are ready and let's beam over.
 
Action : The pressure from the cut line sends one of the connecting fittings ricocheting off two different bulkheads, reminding the engineers this is not as easy as it looks

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::un-slings the rifle that is on her shoulder and gets ready for the transport::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Rulm: You have the conn.  Keep hard lock on the away team
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain the XO identified the ship that was on sensors also. It seem to belong to something called The Others.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Moves to the lift and heads to the brig::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Well I hope they know how to dodge an exploding reactor.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: signals K`Ralt and steps onto the transporter Pad:: CO: I also as that is where it is being sent once loose. Also K`Ralt is ready.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::ducks as he hears the fitting bounce around::  Self:  Speed or safety, speed or safety?
 
Action: The XO arrives in the brig the prisoner is shivering from the cold but the lights are normal

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TR_Chief: Transport us over to the platform, Chief.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::exits the lift and moves to the brig doors, enters as they open.  Brig Chief: The prisoner is ready to talk?  ::looks over to see him on the floor::
 
@Action: K`Ralt signals ready and links his transport activation to the Del’s

TR_Chief says:
CO: Yes ma'am

Rulm says:
:: Watches the XO leave and waits for the CEO's Call::

TO_Devlin says:
::motions to the rest of the team, two fingers to Norris, three fingers to Albright and four fingers to T'aaik, they nod back in understanding::
 
CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::gets near the end of the second line and has one of his engineers cut the flow of the line just as he finishes hoping to avoid a repeat::
 
@Action: The away team materializes in the control room of the platform.  Only to find two Klingons charging at them swords drawn and screaming

TO_Devlin says:
::motions to the rest of the team, two fingers to Norris, three fingers to Albright and four fingers to T'aaik, they nod back in understanding::
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@::calmly raises her rifle and fires at the first charging Klingon::

Brig Chief says:
XO: It looks like it ma'am

TO_Devlin says:
@::team Beta move into action, firing at the charging Klingons::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
@ :: raises his rifle and fires at the second Klingon::
 
@Action: The captain stops her opponent dead in his tracks.  OPS' shot strikes its target.  The resulting explosion knocks OPS to the deck, fortunately unhurt and causes one of the view screens to be obliterated

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Brig Chief: Well, let's see what he has to say, shall we.  ::moves close to the cell::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@:;reaches down and pulls OPS back to his feet with surprising strength for such a short, old woman:: OPS: You all right?

Terrh says:
:: sees the XO and motions for her to come in, moves but seems very weak :: XO: Your captain has a flair for torture commander

TO_Devlin says:
@::Beta team spreads out and scans::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
@:: comes back up with the captain's help:: CO: Got to remember that these have a little kick::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::hastily finishes the cut from the last of the line and steps away from the reactor  feeling the increase in heat from the reactor no longer cooled::  *Rulm*:  Get this thing off the ship.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@::chuckles and then looks around the control room:: OPS: Hop on the internal sensors and let's see where everyone is.
 
@Action: Several terrified scientist begin to come out of hiding in the control room

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Raises an eyebrow, her antennae only slightly moving:: Terrh: If that is all you have to say then I'll return to the bridge ::stands her ground, just beside the cell force field::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@Scientist: Are you all right?  We're here to rescue you. ::gives a little grimace at how corny that sounded::

@Action: The scientist just stand near their stations with a ‘deer in the headlight look’ on their faces.  Scientist are one of the non-warrior castes on Q’Onos and these beings were no match for the Romulan imposters.

TO_Devlin says:
@CO: Captain ::motions to the scientist::

Rulm says:
*CEO*: Aye Chief Transporting now. :: hits the controls to transport the reactor off the ship and to the designated coordinates::
 
Info: The prisoner begins to look very strange, the vessels on his neck are bulging

Terrh says:
XO: But I have something for you commander, don’t want it to go to waste :: coughs :: do you?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
@CO: Aye Captain :: moves to the control panel::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Terrh: What is wrong with your neck?   ::leans closer, but ready to move back::
 
Action: The damaged reactor materializes and tumbles into the wreckage of the other ships

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Brig Chief: Get a medic down here, STAT

Terrh says:
XO: Something I ate :: screams ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@*XO*: We have control of the platform control room.  We'll keep you updated.  Try and find out how K'Ralt is doing.  We don't have intercommunication yet.

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::breaths a sigh of relief as the reactor to beamed out.::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
@:: gets the sensors back up:: CO: Captain it looks like the fight in engineering is going well according to sensors.
 
Action : The prisoner explodes.  The concussion bulging the bulkhead and sending the XO across the room onto her backside.   The brig chief gets a bloody nose from it

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
@OPS: Good...were are the other Romulans?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
Terrh: I thought you wanted to talk... ::antennae lay down at the scream:: What do you mean, something you ate ::leans closer:: Brig Chief: Where is the medic.... trails off as she flies across the room::

CEO_Ltjg._Heller says:
::goes to a nearby console and deactivates the force field that surrounded the reactor, immediately breathing easier as the temp drops rapidly.::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Shakes her head and winces::  Brig Chief: Sound off! ::glances at the 'remains' of the prisoner::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
@CO: Checking now Captain and am working on internal comms as well.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Sees the mess and mutters an Andorian curse::
 
Action : The reactor explodes sending a shock wave felt by all ships.  Debris from the destroyed ships is sent out in all direction by the blast.  The Del’s shields protect it, K`Ralts ships shields protect it.  But the explosion reveals a cloaked Romulan scout ship attached the platform’s hull.  The shrapnel destroys it a second after being discovered.  Also the debris reveals another cloaked ship.  It is sleek and black, it quickly disappears into warp.
