ACTION - We find the valiant crew of the U.S.S. Nighthawk trapped in the Keh'lin Nebula, adjacent the battered Nebula class vessel, U.S.S. Praxis.

BRIEFING - After massive power failures, the natural dampening field, which left them adrift, began to collapse, and the crew has found themselves amidst the chaos of a trio of deaths...each officer drained of blood in a brutal and unimaginable fashion.

BRIEFING - The crew has chosen to send an Away Team to the U.S.S. Praxis, in an attempt to stabilize her key systems, and to possibly recover any crew found aboard...

@::Taps comm badge:: *CO*: come in...*Nighthawk, come in...
EO_Ens_Hull says:
CEO:  Raven is returning to the shuttle bay, exterior repair is complete Sir!
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
*OPS*: Get the AT back and move us out of here
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - The Nighthawk and Praxis rock more violently as the gravimetric sheer increased...the Operations officer is thrown from his seat, and a console near the Executive Officer overloads, tossing her aside, covered in severe burns.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::is rocked violently falling to the floor::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Looses her balance and fall onto her already bruise side::
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: Already working on it Captain...  ::is thrown from his seat, and hits the floor with a thud::
EO_Ens_Hull says:
::Holds on to the Master Display::
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::glances at the CO, CNS, CMO::  CO: Captain... if these beings are still on the Nighthawk then we are in considerable danger...  I suggest we restrict everyone from moving through the ship alone..  teams of 2 or even 3 are preferable...
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Grabs her side and Gasps::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::looks at the XO::  XO: any contact with the Hawk
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Holds onto the Console::
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::moves over to the CO's console and tries to transport the AT back to the nighthawk::
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
::Growls as the ship rocks again, with a quick glance around she moves closer to a nearby wall and remains quietly there. With a sighs, she glances nervously around::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Falls to the floor and begins to feel a burning sensation on her body::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Brings up SIF/IDF Fields and reroutes power to compensate::
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - As the Operations Officer attempts to activate transporters, he looses all contact with the team as the spacial rift envelopes the U.S.S. Praxis...
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::holds his side where he fell after being thrown and moves over to helm and puts the ship in reverse...Full impulse::
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::holds onto one of the consoles::  Self: Oh well...they don't keep us waiting...
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Rolls around on the floor of the Praxis, screaming::
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
Self: Dammit!  ::extend his sensors to find the Praxis::
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
CMO, TO, CO: I don't like this one bit.. ::Glances across sickbay at the doors and frowns::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Looks to CMO and TO:: CMO/TO: Why did you request the councilor's presence?
EO_Ens_Hull says:
::Raven is tractored into the shuttle bay during the disturbance, the doors close the Raven is secured to the deck::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@:notices the XO looks like she is in pain and goes to her side:: XO: what is work Cmdr:: pauses  Out load: my god   *Nighthawk* Come in Nighthawk
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
CO: Captain, this can wait...it might be more prudent for you to return to the bridge...I can discuss this with the counselor...
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: come over hear NOW:: tries holding the XO calm::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::hears the XO and moves over:: XO: i can't see, where does it hurt
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CMO: I agree, CNS: Report to me when you’re finished
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Gasping for breaths, moving her hands from her face, trying to speak::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
*OPS*: On my way to the bridge, What’s our status?
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - Over the XO's horrified screams, the same hissing and clicking sound can be heard inside the Praxis, getting stronger and closer...
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: don't raise your voice to me please...
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: I'll accompany you to the bridge...  ::follows the CO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO: calm down Cmdr try to calm down
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
::Raises an eyebrow, she glances back at the Captain:: CO: Finish with what, Captain?
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: Captain, I've lost contact with the Praxis...they were pulled into the spacial rift as I tried to transport them back
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@XO: calm down...breath ...and don't panic..
EO_Ens_Hull says:
::Adjusts the shield harmonics to compensate for the disturbance, adjusting until the rocking is compensated for::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CTO: help me up, I hear those sounds again and they are getting closer, let's get out of here!
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CO*: I'm extending sensor range to find them....
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
CNS: I believe the Captain was referring to this...::Hands the Counselor a PADD with three bio scans on it::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@:helps the XO up ::CSO: help me lets make our way to the sickbay
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Gasping and holding her face::  <Whispering>: Ah, the pain, the pain!
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: We stay here!
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
*OPS*: Keep trying to establish a lock. Mr. Jarot and I will be there shortly
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: we have no light, and no way to see where we are going, we stay put
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::tries the comm:: *CO*: Understood, bridge out
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
COMM: AT: Nighthawk to Away Team, come in Away Team...
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: your right  I wasn't thinking  XO: we have to stay here ma’am so just relax
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
CNS: I ran a comparison of these officers from scans taken before their death...there was a massive increase in stimulation to the hippocampus moments before death...they were dead before the blood was drained from their bodies...they went insane...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
*Bridge*: What's going on?
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::increases his pace::  CO: This situation is getting worse by the minute...  Let's hope we can build up a defensive against these creatures as soon as possible...
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::tapping comm badge:: *Hawk* Nighthawk, come in we have an emergency,  Nighthawk you there
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - No comm’s get through.
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: the comm badges are dead we are on our own hear
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
TO: Get your scans going as soon as we get to the bridge, I need to know if the hawk is in any danger from the rift.
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
*CEO*: Quite a number of things...which one you referring to?
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
::Takes the Pads from the CMO, she smiles briefly before taking them and glancing at them:: Self: Now, if I only knew what the Captain wants me to do with this.. ::Glances up as the CMO begins to speak, she nods slowly and glances back at the Pads:: OPS: Can you give me the cause to the increase? Maybe a chemical response to something?
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CSO: <Gasping> CSO: Check the med kit and give me something for this pain, I think I can make it if you do!
EO_Ens_Hull says:
CEO:  We should probably get the AT back and get out of here...what do you think Sir?
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Understood, Sir...
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: i know, keep close to the wall,  if this is like last time, power will come up
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::In a calm voice, soothing voice:: XO: we can't do that now...we have to walk for the power, I’m sorry...
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::moving around the bridge as fast as possible, trying to keep the Nighthawk away and find the Praxis and Aventura::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@XO: hold on to the CTO hand ok...and hold on hard....he's a big man, won't hurt him...::Talking quietly to her::
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - Suddenly a high pitched screech can be heard a few meters from the away team, the group feels something rush by and it collides with the CSO, knocking her over once again...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
EO: I'm heading to the bridge. Coordinate with me there.
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Exits TL with the tactical officer and stride down the corridor to the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Starts walking up to the bridge::
EO_Ens_Hull says:
::REB:: CEO:  Aye Sir
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
CNS: It appears to be in response to an increase in theta band radiation...::He looks to the dish once again::...which is radiating from this creature.
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::as he arrives on the bridge he quickly takes tac 1::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Goes flying back, landing hard::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: what was that
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Arrives in the corridor and walks onto the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@Still Gasping for breaths, takes CTO's hand::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Jumps to center seat:: OPS: How you doing Cmdr.?
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Glad your back Captain, we've lost contact with both the Praxis and the Aventura.  We are in Full reverse to keep our distance from the rift, I haven't had any luck with the sensors yet
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::takes the XO hand::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Captain.
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: slay close to the wall...and down:: Trying to catch her breath back from getting the wind knocked out of her::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CTO: What now?
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - As the CSO hits the ground, something large and heavy drops on top of her body with a loud thud...whatever it is...she doesn't want to know.
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
CMO: So, we can safely assume they're connected to each other. ::Nods slowly:: Maybe we can use this information to find where the next.. ::Pauses, she considers her next words carefully:: victim.. ::Nods:: will be..
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Brings her arms up to protect her face and head, trying to move away::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::hear the commotion:: CSO: you all right
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Turns to the Chief:: CEO: Chief, Report
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: where are you
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: It appeared that the Praxis was pulled into the rift, I'm not sure about the Aventura though
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CSO: where are you?
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: Keep us outside the rift for the moment
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::frowns at the sensor readings and turns his chair to face the CO::  CO: Captain... sensor detect the rift is collapsing... slowly...
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
CNS: Exactly...I am afraid of what effect this could have on a wide scale...I'd like you to keep a close eye on the command staff...
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Looks back to Mr. Monroe::
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Aye Captain...::moves back to his seat::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::places the XO down:: XO: got to help the CSO:: gets on the floor and tries to feel for the CSO::
CNS_LtJG_Nicole says:
::Pauses, she glances away and considers something:: CMO: Now that you mention it.. ::Frowns:: The CSO did act oddly today..
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Outer hull repaired.  Plasma flow constricted to the warp core.
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Pushes what ever it was off::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::<Thinking> we have got to get out of this room::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: stay there....
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: I have doubled power to the IDF/SIF Fields
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::hears the thud:: CSO: what is going on  I’ll take care of it
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::glances at his readings again::  CO: The rift can collapse any second now, Sir....
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: Good work chief
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks at the viewscreen:: CO: How's the AT?
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - The weight on the CSO rolls off of her body, drifting lightly nearby her - whatever it was, the CSO could feel the texture of cloth under her hands.
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
TO: Collapse!, Can we get to the Praxis?
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@CTO: I said stay there with here, you here me.. ::Wishes she had some light to see that it was.  curious, starts to feel what had hit her::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: I need a way target them back, Can you help?
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::thinking of the safety of the people with him he goes to what ever it was to try to subdue it
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
CO: We can Captain....but we'd risk getting crushed on our way to them....
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - Just as the TO predicts the rift collapses only slightly, exposing the Praxis and allowing for scans once again. On the Praxis, the flashlights of the team flicker to life as power returns to their equipment.
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CTO: I think we should head back to the jefferies tube, at least with the door closed we will be alone until we reach SB on deck 12.
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Taps console looking at scan results and tactical readouts::
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Runs in to the CTO, thinking it was another one that was going to hit her, decks him::
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: I've got her on sensors now Captain...looking for the Aventura
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@:: Still holding her face, notices the light pop on again::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
OPS: Can you get a transporter lock on them?
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::lights come on all around them and sees the body of a CMDR drained of blood:: CSO: is that what was attacking you
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::as the lights go on, tries not to scream covering her mouth with her hands::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Looks around for CSO and CTO and the body next to  CSO::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: Give me everything you've got to the shields, were going in
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: I'll try, I'm going to get us closer though  ::looks for a Transporter lock on the AT::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::Picks up the XO:: CSO: we have power for now lets move to a more secure area
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CTO: agreed!
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: Use a particle beam from the deflector Dish to act as a courier for the transporter beam
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: Stand by to drop them when we get a lock
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Moves up against the wall, sitting down, breathing heavily, as she sees the blood on her shirt and hands::
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::looks at the new improved scan results::   CO: Captain... I have the away team on sensors...  seems there are multiple life signs moving towards their position... and from what I can tell... they are not there for a social visit....
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: Make it happen
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Uhh Captain, I'm detecting a build-up of life signs surrounding the AT, there getting closer!  I'm taking us in.. ::moves the Hawk in closer and fast::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO: if the TL works lets make our way to the bridge
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@ALL: I believe that was the XO of the praxis
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::Shakes as she sees the blood on her hands::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@CSO: shake it off Cmdr lets move
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
::Looks almost terrified:: OPS/CEO: Get us in close and get them back..........
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@CTO: Looks like the XO of the Praxis was one of the last to try to survive, but I hope there are more alive here still.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
OPS: Life signs? ::Starts working on the Deflector Dish modification::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@XO: lets hope so,  now lets head for the bridge and fast
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
TO: How far is the life form from there position?
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@::doesn't move, just staring at the body, shaking::
XO_Cmdr_West says:
@::Stands and begins to move as quickly as she can while holding her face.:: ::<Self> aw , the pain, the pain!
OPS_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::adjusts movements of the Hawk carefully, waiting for the transporter to get a lock on the AT::
CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
@::grabs the CSO arm and shakes her::  CSO: get a hold of yourself
TO_Ens_Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: One minute, Captain...  ::glances at the sensor readings::
Host CO_Captain_Cerdan says:
CEO: C'mon Chief, Do your stuff.......
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
*EO*: I need power, shutdown any non-essential systems and reroute to shields and Deflector Control::
EO_Ens_Hull says:
*CEO*:  Aye Sir
CSO_Monroe-Matisse says:
@ ::Tears her arm away from his grasp:: CTO:  Don’t touch me! .. you touched me.. .I told you to leave me alone.. touch me again, and I’ll..  take your head!
Host CMO_Ltjg_Saunders says:
ACTION - As the life signs get closer to the team, the group can see shadows filling the spaces on the wall, and the smell of blood and other body fluids filling the air. A deep scream fills the silence and the hissing gets louder and closer. Whatever it is on this ship - it's getting close.
