@ ::in one of the Elara's turbolifts, heading up to the bridge. He's just finishing putting on his pips and comm badge when the doors open::

CIV_Maor says:
::points the phaser and the creature and sighs loudly::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::still has no idea what's going on over on the starbase::

TO_Pazoski says:
::sat up against a crate feeling slightly better, can see this scene blowing way out of proportion, he grips his phaser::

CIV_Maor says:
CTO: Do you mind explaining what are you doing?

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks at K'ufiar waiting to see what he'll do next::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Does not lower his sights from the CMO::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Shakes his head, running a hand through his hair.. Wondering what really happened.. If it was just a dream..::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::steps out onto the bridge:: XO: Hello commander. ::walks over and takes the OPS console::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Walking along with the CO in the lower decks:: CO: And this concludes our tour ...

Host XO_Wall says:
@ ::on bridge by tactical::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: Tell me something ... how were these creatures...the Vanmanoi created?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The CEO sees quite a mess around him ... various Starbase personnel slaughtered, some with metal "stakes" protruding from their chests, others missing parts of their heads.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::sighs and moves away from the science station then takes her seat on the bridge::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Stares at the CMO, who decides to stay ... he then lowers his rifle::

CIV_Maor says:
CTO: I asked you a question

CEO-Atrides says:
::Looks at the senseless slaughter..:: Self: Maybe I shouldn't of smoked that...

Host CO_David says:
Jopko: Well thank you Commander.  You have a very lovely station.  Quite out of the way, if only things were this quiet back near Starbase 595.

CIV_Maor says:
::lowers his phaser as well::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Still not believing what he is seeing is real.::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Nods with a smile::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::sits down at Operations and checks the logs, to see why he couldn't get onto the base earlier::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ OPS: glad your here, we have a situation

CTO_Timrok says:
::Lowers his phaser:: CIV:: defending the CMO i would say

TO_Pazoski says:
::takes out a medical tricorder and begins scanning himself watching everyone::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::turns around:: XO: What is it?

CIV_Maor says:
CTO: But he saved out lives, why will he shoot the CMO?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CIV: I'll shoot her if she endangers us ...

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::listens to OPS and the XO::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The CMO rolls her eyes at the Elleb male, and walks over to make sure that the TO is all right.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::his console beeps at him, telling him he can't access anything about the station. He mutters to himself::

Host CO_David says:
Jopko: Well, if you'll excuse me Commander, I've got to go make sure my crew hasn't torn my ship apart.

CEO-Atrides says:
::Has a strange idea of designing his own brand of Shoes..::

CTO_Timrok says:
CIV: why will he point a weapon at her?

CIV_Maor says:
::turns his head:: K'ufiar: how will she endanger us?

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: we can't get to the Starbase, we have reports of attacks on our Crew

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: I would still like to know what are these creatures and how they were created

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> @ XO: Ummm ... sir. I think I might have found what is causing this distortion field? ::Gestures for the XO, CNS, whomever to come on over::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Smiles:: CO: I'll accompany you if that's all right. To tell the truth I've never been on a Nebula Class before ...

TO_Pazoski says:
::turns the tricorder around and takes a look at the results, he places his phaser next to him happy that there isn’t going to be a firefight in the next 30 seconds::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: excuse me ::walks over to Ens Hakkinen::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::his eyes go wide:: XO: ...attacks? By who? ::suddenly realizes that not being able to head over to the base wasn't such a bad thing after all::

CNS_Nayiza says:
@ ::walks over to the odd ensign, looking interested::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Slings his rifle over his shoulder:: CSO: It is not known how they were created ... only that they exist ... like a plague they spread ...

CIV_Maor says:
all: then what now? shouldn't we inform the Captain of our whereabouts?

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Ens Hakkinen: yes what is it

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: And this whole starbase is under their control? How can we help you get rid of them?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> @ ::Gestures at a beep on the console:: XO: There's a vessel just beyond the port side of the Starbase sir ... the distortion field seems to be originating from there.

CEO-Atrides says:
::Walks over to one of the decapitated bodies..:: Self: Smells like blood..

Host CO_David says:
::smiles back:: Jopko: Of course.  ::enters a nearby Turbolift:: TL: Promenade.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Computer> ::Beeps in acknowledgment, and takes the CO and Jopko there::

CIV_Maor says:
*CO* Sir, we require your assistance.. at.. ::thinks:: the bottom of the TL?

CNS_Nayiza says:
::smiles to herself slightly::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::listening to Hakkinen, he turns to his console and checks for the vessel he mentioned::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CSO: Kill them all.

Host XO_Wall says:
@Ens Hakkinen: Is there a way for us to disrupt it from within the Starbase were we are currently docked?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Reaches over quickly and grabs the CIV's comm-badge, throws it on the ground, and steps on it ... causing a massive squeak on the CO's end::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Winces slightly::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::once he finds it, he checks it's tactical capability::

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: what are you doing?!

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: They were once Starfleet officers. Is there no way of bringing them back?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CSO: The bodies are dead. You cannot bring them back.

CEO-Atrides says:
::Finds a stick lying around and decides to poke some of the dead bodies.::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: ...what did you just do? we could use all the help we can get !!

Host CO_David says:
::hears the rather loud squeak:: *CIV* Harison to Maor, say again?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CIV: Fool ... how do you know that it is still your Captain on the other end?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: No response to the CO.

CEO-Atrides says:
::Poke poke.. ::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Squishy::

CIV_Maor says:
::speechless::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Smirks behind the CO's back as there is no response ... now knows where the other crew are::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: Unfortunately I'm forced to agree......my tricorder showed no life signs...still, I wish I knew how this could be so

CEO-Atrides says:
::Pokes the decapitated neck of one of the dead..::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Blood squirts out..::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: How do we identify them before its too late?

CEO-Atrides says:
::Ewww..::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Goes over and places his rifle on a crate, pulls out some ammunition::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CSO: They won't show up on your tricorders ... if you see someone before you without life signs. Dead give away.

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: ::looks over to him from science:: in the meantime work with Eng and keep working on trying to communicate or get a transporters lock on our crew

Host CO_David says:
::frowns then hits his comm badge again:: COM: Elara: Harison to Elara.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: No response to CO.

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: Can we borrow some of your weapons?

CEO-Atrides says:
Self: Wow.. I'm really not dreaming.. These guys are dead..

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Aye sir. ::tries different algorithms on his console, trying to get transporters up first::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> @ XO: The only way we're going to stop the disruption is by getting on that ship sir ... or destroying it.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::walks back over to her seat::

Host CO_David says:
Jopko: OK, now I'm worried.

CSO_Gomes says:
CTO: We help him get back the station, right? Before its too late

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::nods::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Leaving the dead bodies behind.. He begins to walk along the Promenade.. Seeing more dead.. Still trying to figure out what is going on.::

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::didn't like the sound of the ENS' last comment to the XO::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ALL: You want a story? You want to know what you're dealing with? In every race there is a legend, a myth, an old lady's fable about some monster that haunts the night ... in your Earth myth it is the Vampire, for the Klingons it is the K'tractori, for the Vulcans it is the Night Watchers, and so forth.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::not having much luck, he tries a completely different set of algorithms, just picking them randomly since he doesn't have any clue what to go on::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Duty Tact : tell the security teams to retreat from opening the hatchway doors

CIV_Maor says:
K’ufiar: then what are these.. things?

Host XO_Wall says:
@<Duty Tach> XO: aye sir

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: That thought occurred to me..........but that still does not explain their existence... scientifically

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ALL: In truth, it is merely the workings of a long dead alien race ... they fed upon the life blood of others in order to keep their bodies working. Eventually, they died off because of their morals ... however, their remains developed into a virus somehow ... this virus, the Vanmanoi, spread ... each race it infected would transform …

Host CO_David says:
::walks out of the turbolift onto the Promenade and looks around::

CIV_Maor says:
K’ufiar: transform to one of the Vanmanoi?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> @ ALL: ... mutate. They would acquire great strength, resilience, and so forth ... but in the process, their bodies themselves would die. All that would remain would be a shell being used and abused by the virus.

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar/CIV: The perhaps this virus kills the host and then somehow takes over the brain of the dead ......making them look alive ....

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The CO and Jopko see the slaughter on the Promenade ... the CEO can be seen walking amongst the corpses.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::watches the crew on the bridge::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Duty FCO: fire up the ship get ready to release mooring and such and plot a course to intercept that ship emitting the damping field

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Lt. Tima> @ XO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: Do you agree with helping him?

CEO-Atrides says:
::The CEO is carrying his stick, which was used to poke the dead body..Just to make sure he was not dreaming or anything.::

Host CO_David says:
::calls out to the CEO:: CEO: Hunter!  What happened?

CIV_Maor says:
::Thinks:: CSO: Do we have a choice?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Follows the CO::

Host CO_David says:
::runs over to the CEO, stepping or jumping over dead bodies::

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: I don't think so

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: Tell us what to do to help

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The SO, from her earlier injuries, passes out. The CMO catches her, and begins to make sure she is ok ...

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Ens Hakkinen: can we use the deflector dish to emit something to disrupt that field once we intercept the ship?

CSO_Gomes says:
::whispers to the CIV:: CIV: But keep an eye on him

CEO-Atrides says:
::Sees the CO:: CO: No clue.. I just woke up all groggy and found all these dead bodies.. I remember something, some woman..

CNS_Nayiza says:
@Self: Interesting, now I feel totally useless here. ::watches them all:: 

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at the TL for a second and nods at the direction of the CSO::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> @ XO: We can try, sir. No guarantees that it will work.

Host CO_David says:
CEO: Do you know where the crew is?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::still no luck on finding the key to getting into the station::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<CMO Zaris> ALL: You guys will have to go on ahead without me ... I'm going to stay with Ruskinara.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<CTO Timrok> ALL: I will remain here to watch over them if needed. ::Watches the CMO work::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Ens Hakkinen: ok get it ready and prepare to active it on my command?

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: well?

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods to Zaris and Timrok::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: I know a lot of them are on the ship.. But your the only person I've seen.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> @ XO: Aye, sir. ::Starts transmitting data to the Operations Console so that Seppela can fire this thing::

TO_Pazoski says:
::sits back against the crate:: All: Well I’m not going anywhere fast

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> @ ::Looks at the TO:: TO: Can you move?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::gets the data and inputs it into a firing program:: XO: Waiting for your mark sir. ::holds his finger over the fire button::

Host CO_David says:
CEO: Let's get back to the ship.  ::heads for the airlock::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Notices that Commander Jopko's eyes have become a deep black and her K-9's are lengthening, becoming gruesome fangs.. Starts to stumble back..:: CO: Watch out..!

Host XO_Wall says:
@Lt Tima: once we are clear of the Starbase, engage full impulse to intercept the ship.

TO_Pazoski says:
K'ufiar: I think so...

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Leaps onto the CO's back from behind, trying to take a chunk out of his neck::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> TO: Then get up. We'll need more help if we are to rid this place of the monsters.

CEO-Atrides says:
::Seeing the CO in trouble, and thinking he might get a free drink out of it, the CEO goes forward to beat the woman with his stick.::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Lt. Tima> @ XO: We're clear sir.

CSO_Gomes says:
TO: Lucky you Peter...you'll finally be able to get all that fire practice at the academy to good use ....

Host XO_Wall says:
@Lt. Tima: engage

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: are you sure just us can beat all of them?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Is hit by the stick:: CEO: What are you, crazy?!

Host CO_David says:
::emits a slight "oof" as Jopko lands on him, then throws his body forward and flips her off his back::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Lt. Tima> @ ::Moves the Elara to intercept the Elleb vessel::

TO_Pazoski says:
::mumbles as he struggles to his feet...through the blanket to the pain killers the agony was still there:: CSO: Yeah lucky me eh

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Is flipped over ... lands on her feet like a cat::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: We are ready. What do you suggest we do next?

Host CO_David says:
Self: What the??

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CSO: Arm yourselves.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::waiting for the order to fire::

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at the big pile of weapons::

CSO_Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CIV_Maor says:
self: hrm..

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV/TO: Pick one.. or two.....and lets go

Host CO_David says:
::notes that all the good ones seem to be crazy somehow then dashes for the airlock:: CEO: Get to the ship!

CEO-Atrides says:
::Holds his stick in his hand..:: CO: Aye ! ::Begins to run::

CIV_Maor says:
CSO: Ladies first ::scratches his head::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Gestures to the large rifles from which the metal stakes are fired:: ALL: These weapons will launch non-energy projectiles ... the key to killing the virus is to kill that which it depends on, the heart. That is where the blood is sent through, and keeps the virus alive. Damaged the heart, and the virus will die off pretty quickly.

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: once Lt. Tima reports we are in deflector range, fire deflector pulse

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The Elara has undocked, so there is no where for the CO and CEO to go.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::nods:: XO: Aye sir.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Leaps into the air some ten feet, and comes down hard on the CEO::

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::remains quiet::

TO_Pazoski says:
CSO: Yes Ma'am ::sifts through the collection of weapons and picks up some kind of rifle and a smaller pistol...uncertain of what each do::

CSO_Gomes says:
::gets one of those big rifles and some ammo:: 

Host CO_David says:
::freezes as he sees the ship gone:: Self: Figures.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The CSO nearly falls to the ground from the weight of the weapon.

CIV_Maor says:
::picks the biggest rifle and laughs::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Falls down hard and makes a 'Ooff' sound.. Tries to thrash about and hit her with the stick.::

CNS_Nayiza says:
@Self: Interesting person flying the poor ship.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: As does the CIV.

CIV_Maor says:
::looks confused::

Host CO_David says:
::turns and dives into Jopko::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Lt. Tima> @ ALL: We're in range.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::fire::

CSO_Gomes says:
All: I suppose this works.....although I am not used to big weapons. I suggest you 2 take one of these too

CEO-Atrides says:
::Wishes he had an Atrides Brand Pulse Grenade.::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Is tackled, knees the CO hard in the stomach ... cracking something::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Deflector is fired sir.

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: how should we carry this things?!

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: if we successfully disrupt the field, immediately lock onto the crew and beam them on the Elara

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The Elara fires it's deflector pulse which slams the Elleb starship ... the distortion field flickers for a few moments ... and then goes entirely offline.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::hands dance across his console as he locks for any of the Elara crew to lock onto::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Gets up and throws his stick at Commander Jopko::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: Simultaneously, the Starbase raises it's shields upon detecting the Elara firing something.

CIV_Maor says:
::grabs a diff' rifle::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Catches the stick, and snaps it::

CIV_Maor says:
all: well, lets go ::runs to the TL::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Growls as he cracks his fingers and moves in too use some ninja-man action..::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> CIV: As best you can. ::Slings over some rifles, and makes a move for the TL::

Host CO_David says:
::flies over Jopko, landing somewhat upright but falling back to his stomach from the momentum, feels his ribs twist in his gut::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::locks onto the entire Elara team on the base, but can't get them aboard before the shield goes up:: Self: Damnit!

CSO_Gomes says:
::Goes after K'ufiar::

TO_Pazoski says:
::hooks the rifle round his shoulder and studies the pistol while following the rest of the team::

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV/TO: Don't shoot till I say so

CIV_Maor says:
::while running he puts the ammo in his teleport belt::

CSO_Gomes says:
::gets her tricorder scanning for life forms::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ ::looks at the viewscreen:: OPS: what happened?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::turns around:: XO: I didn't get them sir, the shields went up before I could get them over here.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Brushes herself off:: CO & CEO: Don't fool yourselves ... you cannot win. Why do you fight? This is the best thing for you ... you will be stronger ... faster ... you will be eternal.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@::glances over towards OPS:: 

Host CO_David says:
::stands back up clutching his side:: Jopko: Who are you?

CIV_Maor says:
::loads a ammo and puts the rifle behind his back as he climbs up::

CSO_Gomes says:
::climbs up the low gravity shaft::

CIV_Maor says:
::exits the TL and notices some people far back in the large room::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Climbs up ahead of the others::

TO_Pazoski says:
::follows behind the party, making sure no-one is behind them::

CIV_Maor says:
CSO: I think that’s the CO and the CEO

CNS_Nayiza says:
@OPS: Is there no way we can get in touch with the station and get them to lower the shields?

Host CO_David says:
Jopko: I've heard that before.  Usually they were just some psychopath with a inkling to get themselves vaporized by my phaser.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Arrives on the Promenade, spots the others::

CEO-Atrides says:
::Crouches down slightly, holding his hands together, like he is containing a ball.. Panther Style..:: Jopko: Because.. We don't dig crazy women.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: We're back at square one again.

CIV_Maor says:
::runs to the group of people holding the weapon in his hands::

Host XO_Wall says:
@ OPS: look up the prefix code for Starbase 666, we can bring down the shields we that

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Aye sir. ::tries to find the codes in the database::

CSO_Gomes says:
::arrives on the promenade as well, scans the people there::

CIV_Maor says:
::notices the Cmdr is attacking them::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: hoping that it hasn't been changed

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::cracks a big grin:: XO: Got 'em sir.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Stands there, just watching for a moment ... considering things::

CIV_Maor says:
CSO,TO, K'ufiar: ::shouts:: over here!

TO_Pazoski says:
::places the pistol in his belt and takes hold of the rifle::

Host CO_David says:
::looks at his crew arriving:: Jopko: Something tells me you’re out of options.

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Takes aim::

CIV_Maor says:
::aims as well::

CNS_Nayiza says:
@OPS: If the device is totally offline it should be no problem contacting the starbase?

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Glances:: CO: Why do you wish to remain in this puny existence ... you are capable of so much more ...

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::prepares to use the codes to bring down the shields, hoping they aren't out of date. At the same time, he's getting ready to beam out the Elara crew the very moment the shields go down::

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: Be sure not to hit the CO and the CEO

CEO-Atrides says:
::Seeing that the rest of the crew arrived.. Disappointed they don't have Atrides Brand Pulse Rifles.::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: once your ready bring down the shields and transport our crew

CSO_Gomes says:
::sighs and fires at those without life signs::

TO_Pazoski says:
::while the others take aim he looks around for any other hostiles::

CSO_Gomes says:
TO/CIV: Be careful, Atrides is among them

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: Multiple projectiles launch from the CSO's and K'ufiar's rifles coming at Jopko.

Host CO_David says:
Jopko: I like this puny existence thank you.  And it seems yours is about to end.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Aye sir. ::takes a deep breath, then inputs the codes and lowers the shields::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Sees the projectiles incoming ... maneuvers around quite quickly, deflecting each projectile with her arms ... causing them to slam into walls and bulkheads, just barely missing the CO & CEO::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::looks for the crew on sensors, and locks onto them as soon as he can. He beams them back as soon as he has a lock::

CSO_Gomes says:
TO/CIV: Fire at will.. except at the CO and CEO, they are alive of course

Host XO_Wall says:
@ ::suspenseful, hopes this works, tenses up::

CIV_Maor says:
::runs to the group of people while firing::

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar. Be careful, those too are still alive ::points::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
ACTION: The codes do not work ... OPS notes that someone is hacking into the Elara's computer, using the codes that were sent as a link.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@Self: An interesting crew. ::smiles slightly::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Smirks, moving faster than the other Vanmanoi did, continues deflecting projectile after projectile::

TO_Pazoski says:

CEO-Atrides says:

CEO-Atrides says:
::An Atrides brand Pulse Grenade could solve this situation.::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ Self: Oh no... ::turns around:: XO: Sir the codes didn't work, and now someone is trying to hack into our computer.

Host CO_David says:
::dives for Jopko, trying to tackle her, his ribs aching in pain::

CIV_Maor says:
::stands closer to the Cmdr and shoots directly to her heart::

CSO_Gomes says:
::gets closer::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Backs hands the CO, sending him flying back::

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks for a clear shot at Jopko::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::frantically tries to find where the hackers are in the system after raising the emergency computer net system::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Side steps the blast, grabs the projectile, swing around and jams it into the CIV's gun, shattering part of it::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ Self: Come out come out wherever you are...

CIV_Maor says:

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Moves quickly, grabbing the CSO, using her as a living shield, tightening her hold on her so she cannot move ... has a hand grip against her back, threatening to snap something::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::the emergency system should have trapped any in coming data...::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: shut down the link!

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<K'ufiar> ::Tries to reload his weapon, willing to kill the CSO if necessary::

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at the Cmdr::

CSO_Gomes says:
::moves her legs rapidly trying to hit Jopko::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: I already did sir they're already into our system! I'm trying to find them...

CIV_Maor says:
::looks back:: K'ufiar: ::yells:: don’t you dare!!!

TO_Pazoski says:
::slowly circles around the group trying to get behind Jopko::

Host CO_David says:
::hits the floor then scrambles back up:: Jopko: Over here ugly!

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks at K'ufiar and imagines what he'll do. Gulps::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ Self: Got it... ::the incoming data is trapped::

CSO_Gomes says:
::tries to use her weapon to hit Jopko::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Bares her fangs at the CO:: CO: You can be better than this Captain ... after all ... "you think you know ... what has happened ... what you mean ... what is to come ... it hasn't even begun."

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Takes the hit from the CSO::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::tries to remove the data without damaging any of the surrounding circuitry::

CIV_Maor says:
::runs and tackles the Cmdr right after the CSO breaks loose while the Cmdr is confused::

Host CO_David says:
::his eyes nearly pop out of his head:: Jopko: Where....did....you...

Host XO_Wall says:
@Computer: change all command codes, security protocols, Wall Alpha Omega 131

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Is tackled along with the CSO::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::they break through and he tries to catch them, unsuccessfully. They're trying to wipe the memory, and to avoid this he shuts down the main computer::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
<Computer> @ XO: Acknowledged. ::Begins changing codes to back up made codes::

CIV_Maor says:
::looks down and fires at the Cmdr heart::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Sir I can't contain them, and I'm going to have to shut down the computer, at least for now...

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Dies ... her eyes and teeth returning to normal::

Host CO_David says:
::rushes forward::

CSO_Gomes says:
::catches her breathe and looks at Jopko::

Host Cmdr_Jopko says:
::Stares at the CO with her dead eyes::

CIV_Maor says:
::runs to the CSO:: CSO: are you okay?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::watches as the hackers back out, and stops the computer shut down::

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods:: CIV: Yes, I think so

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: all command codes have been changed, they will have a tough time

CIV_Maor says:
::looks back:: K'ufiar: are you sure that thing is dead?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::leans back in his chair:: XO: Yes sir, we got them. They're backing out now.

Host CO_David says:
::narrows his eyes and then turns and looks at the crew::

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: That thing was a person

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: ...A Starfleet officer

CIV_Maor says:
CSO: Correction, used to be

CIV_Maor says:
CSO: there was no thing we could have done.. according to K'ufiar

Host XO_Wall says:
@ Self: what now?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Ok, initial reports coming in sir. They managed to destroy some of our sensor scans before they were caught::

Host K`ufiar says:
::Walks forward, and looks at the body::

Host K`ufiar says:
ALL: It's dead.

Host CO_David says:
::taps his comm badge:: COM: Elara: Harison to Elara.

TO_Pazoski says:
K'ufiar: Are there any more on the station?

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: No response for CO. Signals are being jammed.

Host K`ufiar says:
TO: The entire crew.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: I'm trying to find where they came from now sir...::localizes the transmission to be coming from an area of space just east of the Starbase::

Host K`ufiar says:
ALL: We must destroy the station ...

CSO_Gomes says:
CIV: Still, its not a creature

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: we what?!

Host XO_Wall says:
@All: open for further suggestions ::looks around the bridge::

TO_Pazoski says:
K'ufiar: Okay...

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Sir, whoever did that, they weren't on the starbase.

CIV_Maor says:
K'ufiar: how should we do that?

CSO_Gomes says:
K'ufiar: Only if there is no other option.. can't we just beam them out?

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the crew hears a unearthly moan ... something "crawls" out of the shadows ... it's a bald Vanmanoi, more pale than the others ... skinny, it's skin hanging off it's bones ... it wears a tattered blue suit on which the words SYN TECH are inscribed.

Host K`ufiar says:
CSO: You cannot beam what you cannot detect.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: They were from over there...::points to an area to the side of the base on the viewscreen. There's nothing there but stars, at least according to the viewscreen, and sensors show nothing either::

Host CO_David says:
K'ufiar: I don't believe we've met.  I'm Captain Harison, Commanding Officer of the Elara.

Host K`ufiar says:
<Lt. Tima> @ XO/OPS: Where did the hackers come from?

Host K`ufiar says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: I am K'ufiar. ::Is an Elleb if the CO didn't catch on yet::

TO_Pazoski says:
::turns and raises his rifle...he doesn’t fire::

CIV_Maor says:
::looks back aiming his rifle by instinct::

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: The rasping ... heavily breathing ... Vanmanoi crawls toward them ... reaching out ... thirsty.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@XO: We could always find out more about the ship? ::turns to OPS:: OPS: How much use of the sensors do we have?

CIV_Maor says:
::fires at his heart::

Host K`ufiar says:
::Quirks his scales where eyebrows would normally be::

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: The CIV kills the peculiar Vanmanoi.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::checks quickly:: CNS: Sensors are fully operational, but the logs dating back to before we arrived have been wiped.

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks at the strange Vanmanoi...it does not look like the others::

Host CO_David says:
K'ufiar: Your an Elleb...may I ask what your doing on a Federation Starbase?

Host K`ufiar says:
::Smiles at the CIV for his action:: CO: Saving your hides.

TO_Pazoski says:
::turns to Maor:: CIV: Nice shooting ::shakes his head and turns away::

Host K`ufiar says:
::Looks beyond the others:: ALL: Run.

CNS_Nayiza says:
@Self: interesting ::nods to OPS:: 

TO_Pazoski says:
K'ufiar: Run? ::turns to see what he is looking at::

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: Dominique stands with about thirty other Vanmanoi ... all in game face mode ... all hungry.

Host K`ufiar says:
::Turns and starts running::

Host CO_David says:
::raises an eyebrow and sighs heavily::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Sir, I'd suggest we should try to figure out who, or what, it was that tried to hack into our systems. Sensors don't show anything from here, but if we got in closer we might find whatever it was.

CSO_Gomes says:
::gulps looking at the Vanmanoi::

Host XO_Wall says:
@*ENG*: I want the sensors systems back 100%

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Sir......Can we go now?

TO_Pazoski says:
All: oh yeah run is good ::turns and runs whilst letting off several shots from the rifle::

Host CO_David says:
::takes of running after K'ufiar:: K'ufiar: Well, I'm thankful that your here...

CIV_Maor says:
::looks around and starts running while picking up photon grenades from his teleport belt and throwing them at the creatures::

Host CO_David says:
Crew: What are you waiting for???  Run!

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: A few shots take out two Vanmanoi ... but that's about it before they all start running.

CSO_Gomes says:
::runs after the others, fortunately she was always good at running::

Host K`ufiar says:
::Runs:: ALL: We must get off the base and destroy it, quickly! The Operations Center, we must get to it! ::Runs to a TL::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: good you look at the penetration data, see if can tell who

CIV_Maor says:
::turns back firing while they all enter the TL::

TO_Pazoski says:
::follows the Elleb, turns in the TL and shoots at the Vanmanoi::

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: The shots being fired do little damage as the Vanmanoi pursue ... some crawling and running along walls to catch up ... they barely make it into the TL before the doors close and the Vanmanoi leap at them.

Host K`ufiar says:
TL: OPERATIONS CENTER ... NOW!

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Captain, I'm starting to agree that the best is to destroy the starbase

Host K`ufiar says:
<Computer> ::Beeps in acknowledgment, and takes them there::

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: The crew on the base can hear the TL doors bursting open below, and can hear them crawling after them.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::scanning the area of space that sensors showed they were attacked from, for any sign of a warp engine or ion trail: anything at all::

CIV_Maor says:
::plants some bombs in the TL::

TO_Pazoski says:
::aims the rifle at the doors in case there is anything on the other side::

Host CO_David says:
::stands panting, clutching his burning side::  CSO: I'm rather inclined to agree...but Starfleet will not be happy...

CIV_Maor says:
::exits the TL::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: Probably not ....

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Sir, I'm picking up a degrading warp signature from the area we were attacked from. Looks like it might be a cloaked ship.

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: As they exit onto the bridge, there are five Vanmanoi waiting for them ... all in Starfleet uniform. One of them is Ensign Leehardy.

CIV_Maor says:
all: i suggest you will exit the TL

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: And the worse is that we would only have our reports to confirm the story

TO_Pazoski says:
CO: I think they would like it more than losing 2 crews

Host K`ufiar says:
ACTION: All five Vanmanoi attack.

Host K`ufiar says:
::Aims rifle and fires, misses, and is tackled::

CIV_Maor says:
CO: Should i fire?

TO_Pazoski says:
::looks at Leehardy:: Leehardy: Shame that program was good ::fires::

Host CO_David says:
::throws one of the Vanmanoi off K'ufiar::

CIV_Maor says:
::fires at the second Vanmanoi that attacked the K'ufiar::

Host K`ufiar says:
<Ens. Leehardy> ::Leaps at the TO, and is caught by the weapons fire mid air ... and killed::

Host K`ufiar says:
::Screams as he is drained ... and then is caught by one of the spikes, and mercifully dies ... as does the Vanmanoi that attacked him::

CSO_Gomes says:
::fires her weapon at one of the Vanmanoi.. aims for the heart::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: All the Vanmanoi in the Operations Center are killed.

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at K'ufiar and sighs::

CIV_Maor says:
::notices the TL is going down::

TO_Pazoski says:
::steps out of the TL searching for anything else to shoot::

CIV_Maor says:
::laughs evilly::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: They can hear the Vanmanoi tearing through the TL's bottom ...

CSO_Gomes says:
::rushes over to K'ufiar after she fired:: CO: Its dead Captain

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... and then a roaring explosion as the CIV's bombs go off.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The TO is slightly thrust forward by the explosion.

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: what’s going on, on the station?

Host CO_David says:
::frowns:: CSO: Raise the Elara!

CIV_Maor says:
::runs to the TO::

TO_Pazoski says:
::stumbles forwards and catches himself on a console:: CIV: Can we please stop shooting EVERYTHING!

Host XO_Wall says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

CIV_Maor says:
::laughs:: TO: are you okay?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: I can't get a clear reading sir, their shields are still up. But there has been a lot of phaser fire and a couple of explosions. ::looks up from console:: Doesn't look like a real enjoyable shore leave, that’s for sure.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Vanmanoi in the TL shaft are dead. But others can be heard crawling ... coming after them ...

CSO_Gomes says:
All: We have to move fast

TO_Pazoski says:
CIV: I will be when I get out of here ::heads for the stations tac console::

CSO_Gomes says:
::rushes over to a console on the operations and begins self destruct procedures::

CIV_Maor says:
::walks to the TL and opens the door throwing bombs down the shaft::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Station's self destruct activates.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Their shields are flickering too sir. I have a lock on the Elara crew, but can't beam until the shields go completely down.

CSO_Gomes says:
::opens a channel to the Elara:: COM: USS: Elara: This is Lt Commander Gomes, do you copy?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Down further ... the explosions from the CIV's bombs can be felt by the CMO, CTO and SO ... Zaris mumbles something.

Host CO_David says:
CSO: Silent countdown.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ COM: Station: We read you commander. Good to hear your voice.

CSO_Gomes says:
::nods to the CO::

Host XO_Wall says:
@OPS: ok beam them as soon as you can

TO_Pazoski says:
::accesses tactical control, attempts to lower the shields and raise a containment field around the TL shaft::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Comm-Channel gets through this time.

OPS_Seppela says:
@ XO: Of course sir.

CIV_Maor says:
::looks down::

CSO_Gomes says:
CO: I put only a five minute countdown .......

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Silent count down for five minutes begins.

CIV_Maor says:
Down the shaft: any one still alive there?

OPS_Seppela says:
@ COM: Station: Commander, if you lower your shields we can have you outta there in no time.

Host CO_David says:
COM: Elara: Elara, can you get a lock on all of our crew?

CSO_Gomes says:
All: Now we have to hope the Elara listens ....

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: In response, a Vanmanoi leaps up and punches the CIV clear across the Operations Center ... no damage, but he's lost his breath for a moment ... will have to catch it.

CSO_Gomes says:
::lowers the shields of the station::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ COM: Station: We have a lock sir, but we can't beam until you lower your shields.

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at the Vanmanoi breathless from behind the OPS::

OPS_Seppela says:
@ ::shields go down:: Self: All right, time to rock...::beams the first set of crew over, and as soon as they're off the pads he beams the rest::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Vanmanoi leaps across a console at the CSO, tackling her.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Just as the Vanmanoi is about to bite the CSO, they are all beamed off and onto the Elara.

CIV_Maor says:
::tries to get up::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The group find themselves in Transporter Room One, along with the CMO, CTO and SO.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: A small medical team files in to help out.

OPS_Seppela says:
Self: Yeah!!! XO: I got them all sir.

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks over at the transporter room and stares at her arm where the Vanmanoi was about to bite::

CIV_Maor says:
::notices all the bombs he had fell over in the starbase bridge::

CIV_Maor says:
::thinks.. 12 bombs??::

TO_Pazoski says:
All: I love my job ::steps off the transporter pad::

Host CO_David says:
*XO* Harison to Bridge, get us thirty million kilometers from the station and hold position.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ens. Hakkinen> ::Squints at scans:: XO: Uh ... sir ... I think the Starbase's Self Destruct has been activated ...

CIV_Maor says:
::tries to get up::

OPS_Seppela says:
::over hears the Captain's comm and sets a course away from the station, full impulse, and engages::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Lt. Tima> ::Blinks at OPS as he does her job for her, smiles:: OPS: Uh ... thanks.

CSO_Gomes says:
::tells the medical team that she is fine and asks permission to go to the bridge remembering when Jo was aboard::

Host XO_Wall says:
*CO*: aye sir...you all right?

CIV_Maor says:
::runs before the CSO to the TL::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Elara comes about, and moves right past the Starbase ... just in the dramatic nick of time as the Self Destruct goes off ... and the small Starbase disappears in a blinding explosion ... for a moment, some can swear they can hear the inhuman screams of dozens ... and then there is a calm silence.

OPS_Seppela says:
Lt Tima: ::grins and nods:: That’s what I'm here for.

Host CO_David says:
::scrambles up, ignores the medics trying to look at him and races for the bridge:: *XO* A few broken ribs and a puzzled mind, but otherwise fine.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: K'ufiar's Elleb ship is caught in the explosion as well.

CSO_Gomes says:
::reaches the bridge just in time to see the explosion::

TO_Pazoski says:
::shoulders his rifle and steps out of the transporter room, heading for SB::

CIV_Maor says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

CSO_Gomes says:
::looks at the viewscreen and is relieved::

OPS_Seppela says:
::turns to Commander Wall as the starbase explodes:: XO: Another win for the good guys eh?

CSO_Gomes says:
All: I hope this was the first and last time we met this virus. 

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: No damage resulted to the Elara from the explosion.

CSO_Gomes says:
All: I prefer live enemies ....

Host CO_David says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge.

Host XO_Wall says:
::looks at the viewscreen, gets up heads toward the TL:: OPS: I guess

CIV_Maor says:
::looks a bit confused.. still cant focus because the intense pain he has in his head::

TO_Pazoski says:
::as he walks down the corridor he realizes he still has the aquarium program in his belt...he decides to go play it later...::

Host CO_David says:
::enters the bridge and looks at the flaming remains of the Starbase on the viewscreen::

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: what the devil happened on the Station, is everybody ok?

Host CO_David says:
XO: We had an encounter with Dracula.

Host XO_Wall says:
CO: sir?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: And as we fade out on the victorious Elara crew ... we fade in on a well filled bar somewhere in Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant ... a smiling Trill male can be seen making his way through the crowd to the bar to order something.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Trill> ::Makes it to the Bar, notes a quite attractive brunette:: Brunette: Hello, may I order you something? ::Grins::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Brunette> ::Turns, and gives the Trill a polite smile::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Brunette> Trill: Sure.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Trill> ::Orders what she requests, and turns back to her:: Brunette: My name's Navai, and yours?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Brunette> ::A twinkle in her eye:: Trill: Dominique.
