XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Ma'am, you wished to see us?  ::stands in front of her desk::
Host CO_West says:
XO/CEO:  Come in, come in, take a seat gentlemen.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*XO, CO*: Sir, Ma’am, I have an incoming Message from the USS Titan.  They are assembling a strike force in the in the Certalah system and ask if we could slow the creature down.
Host Biishe says:
Scenery:  The system dims as the last of the energy from the sun is absorbed.  The creature is off...
Host CO_West says:
ALL: you both know the situation, I have read your suggestions.  I trust you are both confident in what you have planned?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Grabs a seat, after the XO::
Host CO_West says:
::Hearing OPS she stops mid sentence::
MO_Alexi says:
::Walking up to the Nighthawk's sickbay, he smiles and looks around at the apparent lack of activity. Deciding to get ready for his shift - Alexi decides to enter sickbay and as he walks to the door, finds himself suddenly thrown back - the obvious effects of a quarantine field around the main entrance::
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Starts tracking the creature::
Host CO_West says:
*OPS*: Tell them to continue assembling their force, we will continue at our speed, and proceed to slow down the creature.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: We believe we can slow the creature long enough to give the Nighthawk some time to prepare for it's arrival
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*CO, XO*: Further to their request, I think a Graviton beam, combined with a tractor beam might slow it - a little, anyway.
MO_Alexi says:
::Slowly, he gets back up onto his feet, and shakes off the effects of the field - quite annoyed at the fact that he apparently seems to be locked out. With a sigh, Crewman Alexi begins to attempt to gain access to the sickbay using his authorization clearance - quite forgetting to report the odd situation to the bridge::
Host CO_West says:
XO: Did you hear that?  What do you think, will it add to your plans?
Host CO_West says:
*OPS* acknowledged!
Host CO_West says:
CEO:  Have you coordinated with CTO, the usage of weapons for the Chameleon?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Not sure ma'am...anything we suggest would only be an educated guess, I've never come across anything like this before
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Looks to the XO, then to the CO:: CO: Captain, we want to disable or destroy it?
MO_Alexi says:
::After several moments, the crewman smiles as the computer registers his authorization, and the field is disabled. Quite the foolish little crewman - he obviously doesn't know much about Starfleet procedure - the shield was undoubtedly there for a purpose. Foolish little medical crewman - he'll pay for his ignorance::
Host CO_West says:
CEO:  I would really like to destroy it.... if possible, however we really don't know if we can at this point...now, do we?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*CO*: Ops Out, Ma'am.  ::Begins preparing the combination beam.::
Host Biishe says:
Scenery:  In sickbay all is deathly quiet.  Around the place various personal are on the floor or across consoles.  One is on a biobed.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Captain...if we have any chance of slowing the creature down we should leave now, do we have your authorization?
MO_Alexi says:
::As he enters Sickbay, Alexi immediately realizes why the area around sickbay had lost it's apparent flare for life. All the life inside, well, - wasn't. Finding the Chief Medical Officer collapsed in the middle of the room, Alexi rushes to him, checking for a pulse - the old fashioned methods work best. Smiling as he registers sings of life::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
CO: We beam into the dragon anti-matter charges, detonate on command.  but we have to find a way to transport them onto the dragon.
MO_Alexi says:
::Making a note to himself that these officers ore most likely unconscious, and not dead - the crewman curses himself for opening Sickbay in the first place. Foolish little crewman, whatever knocked out the other officers was definitely going to get him soon too. Quite the silly little man - he should have been thinking::
Host CO_West says:
XO: This would really be a good research project, I am curious as to where this creature originated,...but it is too dangerous to do that, so you are dismissed !  And come back home soon gentlemen!
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CO: Thank you Captain...::motions to the CEO as he leaves the ready room and awaits outside the bridge for the FCO:: *FCO*: Lieutenant Keown report to Shuttle Bay 1 immediately...
MO_Alexi says:
::Rushing over to get some scanning equipment, Alexi returns to the senior Medical Officer, and begins scans. As he runs the tricorder over the Ensign, his eyes wander around the room - everyone is unconscious, open sores covering many of them, a painful sort of injury that Alexi is glad he does not have to experience - yet::
Host CO_West says:
::Standing up she proceeds to walk out of the ready room behind the XO/CEO::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
*XO*:  Aye.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Heads out::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Stands and heads out of the bridge.::
MO_Alexi says:
::Not registering anything significant on the tricorder, Alexi struggles to use what little strength he has to move the CMO to a bio bed. Unfortunately - he miss-judges the Doctors weight, and half way to the bio bed, the unconscious body slips from his grip and falls to the deck plating with a large "thud." Poor doctor - what a headache he'll have::
Host CO_West says:
::Walking onto the bridge, she cuts her eye over at CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::waits for Lt Keown and begins walking towards the TL:: CEO/FCO: Gentlemen, start spitting out ideas of how to slow this thing down.  We need to buy enough time for the task force to join with us...
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::Follows the XO and CEO.::
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Nods at the CO, as she comes walking out of the RR::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Walks behind the XO::
MO_Alexi says:
::Struggling, he eventually get the Chief Medical Officer to the bio bed, and has the computer continue scans, leaving him momentarily to check on the other officers. Within several moments, he discovers that one of the many bodies is in fact dead - several convulsions causing his death. Shuddering at the thought, Alexi closes the young woman's eye's, and continues on to the next officer.
Host CO_West says:
CTO:  A few words with you...
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: Okay ma'am ::Turns his attention to the captain::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::steps into the TL with the FCO and CEO:: TL: Shuttle Bay 1
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  Keep your heading to the Ry'leth system, how long before we reach it?  I want to make sure we arrive  an hour before the creature.
Host Biishe says:
Action:  In engineering, one of the crew starts feeling dizzy.  His comrades comm sickbay for assistance.
MO_Alexi says:
::After several more moments, struggling, Alexi gets two other officers onto the bio beds, and begins similar scans on them. Proceeding to move the last body, Alexi stops at the main control console - discovering it is active. The foolish little crewman has stumbled upon a clue::
Host CO_West says:
OPS:  XO is taking the Chameleon, clear him for take off.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
::continues reading the data flow that is streaming in from the ships sensors, hoping to find a way to slow the creature down.::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
XO:  I think our best bet would be to try and destabilize it's warp field.
MO_Alexi says:
*Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge, please respond. ::His voice sounds shaken-up as he does his best to see what was being run on the control console. Quickly, Alexi realizes that someone had been conducting a test - on the injured officers perhaps?::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Leans against the wall of the TL, tapping at a padd calculating charges.::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
FCO: My last report said the creature was not creating a warp field...we aren't sure how it is achieving warp
Host CO_West says:
::Walking up and sitting in the Big Chair, leaning over toward CTO as he stands beside her::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*XO*: Sir, you are cleared for departure.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
XO: Sir, it flaps it's wings?  ::Raises his eyebrow::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
::grins at the CEO's comment.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*MO*: Report Dr Alexi.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
::as the TL stops he exits it to find himself in Shuttle Bay 1 with the Chameleon already to launch:: *OPS*: Acknowledged...
Host CO_West says:
CTO: what kind of toys have you decided to bring into this game of catch?
MO_Alexi says:
::As he waits for the bridge to respond, he checks over the interface before him, discovering some very bad news - the bridge will not like this barer - not one bit:: *OPS*: Sir, I have just arrived in sickbay, to discover the entire medical staff unconscious.
Host CO_West says:
*MO*: Yes... what is it?
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
*MO*: Continue, while I alert the Captain. 
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Steps into the Chameleon, taps the engineering console and the tactical console activating it.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: You may want to hear this.  From Dr. Alexi
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
CEO: No wings...it appears to shimmer it's body up and down much like a snake on Earth would.  ::takes his seat aboard the Chameleon:: FCO: Ready whenever you are Lieutenant...
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
Walks to the Chameleon, steps in, then sits at the helm.::
Host CO_West says:
*MO*: Report!
MO_Alexi says:
*CO/OPS*: One officers is dead, several others are injured. Sir, there appears to be evidence of tests being conducted - information on a genetically altered virus...sir, it may be what has caused the crew's unconscious state...
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: I have been thinking of tossing in a torpedoes into the mouth of this creature. My other thought was, that we might be able to modify a torpedoes and fill it with anti-matter, so when it impacts, a matter/anti-matter reaction tales place. Well, those are my two cents. ::Looks at the CO, awaiting response::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
::Sits at Engineering:: XO: All Engines are prepared.
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  One of the patients begins to convulse violently.
Host CO_West says:
::Shakes her head::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Powers the shuttle's engines and takes it out of the shuttle bay.::
MO_Alexi says:
::His attention is distracted as he notices one of the patients begin to burst into full blown convulsions. Running officer to the bio bed, his scans confirm the presence of the virus and the silly little crewman curses himself, injecting the officer with medication that would typically cause the convulsions to subside::
Host CO_West says:
*MO*: Set up a quarantine force field, test the oxygen it that place, don't let the gas transfer to any other area in the ship...not now!
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: I have found references to the Creature's Orb in ancient literature...  it bears resemblance to an object referred to as "The Holy Grail Ma'am."
Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  Another call comes in to sickbay from the shuttle bay and a repeated call from engineering.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Plots an intercept course and engages at warp 5.::
MO_Alexi says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am...Captain, sir...one of the patients is going into convulsions...sir...::He curses his luck and as the shaking suddenly stops - he realizes that the officer has died...:: ...sir, he's...dead...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@::Turns on the Tactical Display, pulls a kit from underneath the console::
Host CO_West says:
OPS: lets hear about it...
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: What's our ETA to the creature?
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Sees the CO shake her head:: CO: You don't agree ma'am?
Host CO_West says:
*MO*:  Do you think that this has anything to do with the orb down there?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  10 minutes, sir.
MO_Alexi says:
::Before going to check on the other officers, crewman Alexi reactivates the containment field that he foolishly disabled earlier. Silly little crewmen - what do they teach them before sending them out into the dangers of deep space? Nothing apparently::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Correlating, It bears the same importance as the Holy Grail, but does not resemble it.  The holy grail was an ancient drinking vessel, believed to have contained the blood of Christ.  Someone touching the grail would be cured of all their illnesses.
MO_Alexi says:
::As the containment activates, Alexi pauses and begins to think, looking around sickbay with sheer confusion:: *CO*: ...Orb, ma'am? What orb?
Host CO_West says:
CTO: yes, yes...However I was also thinking... the creature obviously needs to consume energy which is fire to survive.  How about providing it with something to consume that would cool it down and perhaps put it back to sleep for lack of energy?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::nods his head:: FCO/CEO: I want your opinion on something, I was talking to the CTO and he suggested some "matter/anti-matter" mines.  If we managed to replicate these and place them in or around the creature could this slow it down?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@XO: How about placing them inside him.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::looks back at the XO, then shrugs.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: There is also a flaw in the XO's reasoning regarding M-A reactions.  Since the creature feeds on energy, the energy released by such a reaction might well provide the creature with more energy.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  If it can eat a sun, I don't know if explosives would do much good...
MO_Alexi says:
::Quite confused at the mention of this "orb" object, the Medical Officer does his best to keep an eye on his patients, while at the same time looking under bio beds and behind equipment trays for some sort of unusual sphere. The existence of said object however continues to elude him::
Host CO_West says:
*MO*:  XO brought aboard a small orb, which I believe was taken to SB, if you see it contain it and we can get back to it's research after you have revived the crew.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: Good point, but then, how could we possibly do this? ::Starts thinking about this option::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: That's just it, it won't harm it but whenever he "eats" a sun he has to slow down.  Maybe if we make an explosion large enough he will have to slow down to...I don't know...digest it?
MO_Alexi says:
*CO*: Understood ma'am, however I am currently not having the greatest luck at the moment...::Little does he know - the silly little crewman used up his luck surviving this long:: Sir...wait...I think I've found something...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@XO: Maybe if he said ah? And we shoved a Warp Core in his mouth?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::starts thinking maybe they should have brought an exobiologist...::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@CEO: You have one to spare?
MO_Alexi says:
::Rushing to the back of the room, crewman Alexi discovers a small container of some sort - however, upon investigation, discovers the case quite empty:: *CO*: Negative sir...it's empty...whatever you're looking for...it's gone...
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: Ma'am, if you could excuse me, I'll do some calculations, but can only do so in my office.
Host CO_West says:
CTO: Go right ahead, your suggestions are noted and take mine into consideration in your calculations also, I think they would be a good idea.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: precisely,  I was just suggesting to CTO...
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@XO: The Chameleon has one, we just get it to open up and drop it down the throat.  And ask the Nighthawk to tow us out.
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
CO: Aye Ma'am, thank you. ::Turns around and heads to the TL::
CTO_Ens_Jackson says:
Computer: Tactical Department ::Waits for the TL to start moving::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@CEO/FCO: We would have to rig it long enough to get us out of the creature with impulse power only
Host CO_West says:
*MO*: well, that orb has to be around somewhere, get a security team to search the Science labs perhaps the SO has taken it to research.
MO_Alexi says:
::Picking up the odd container, Alexi makes his way back to the control console - notably confused. Glancing down at the display, he notices several images next to the viral data - pictures of the container that he now holds in his hand - and an odd orb placed inside of it::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@XO: Aye.  And have the Nighthawk pick us up.  ::Smiles::
MO_Alexi says:
*CO*: Understood, ma'am...::He begins to access the controls and signals a security team to search Sickbay and the Main Science Labs::
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@CEO/FCO: Sounds like our best bet...any objections?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO/CEO:  The creature is at warp...
Host CO_West says:
OPS: i was just suggesting to CTO, that perhaps we need something to take away its energy or fire it has consumed, like something cold, perhaps freezing some part of the creature.
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO/CEO:  We're going to need to be at warp
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO/CEO:  How can we eject our warp core at warp?
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Looks at his panel as it beeps.::  XO/CEO:  We're approaching the creature.
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@FCO/XO: Hang on tight, cause it is going to be a rough ride.  Or we get the Nighthawk to fire the whole armory at it.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: The must be a particle that slows down molecular motion.  That would have the effect of cooling it.  Drastically.  
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@FCO: We won't be at warp when we eject the core...::stops mid-sentence when he learns they  are approaching::  FCO: Get us inside Lt.
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Found it - programming specifications into the emitter.  Permission to fire?
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@::Diverts power to shields, and IDF::
MO_Alexi says:
::As he goes back to checking on the patients again, crewman Alexi is disturbed again by the sound of officers at the Sickbay doors, attempting to gain entry. Debating whether to allow them entrance or not, Alexi moves towards the door and calls out:: Out loud: Who's there?!
Host Biishe says:
Scenery:  The colorful dragon that appears to have come from Chinese legends of earth is now aflame with a glow that is almost as bright as a miniature sun.
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::begins replicating mines in the small cargo bay at the back of the Chameleon for extra punch when they get inside::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@XO:  Aye...  ::Scans the creature, trying to find an opening.::
Host CO_West says:
OPS: Not now,  Take us to warp8, Stay ahead of the creature, let the Chameleon do her job.
MO_Alexi says:
::Unsure of what to do - the foolish little crewman leaves it up to eanie meanie minie mo, and "Let them in" wins out, and Alexi allows the ailing officers to enter sickbay, and does his best to help them get comfortable - even though the space is quite limited::
FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Matches speed and course with the creature.::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Very well Ma'am.  :Shelves the program for the meantime, keeping at available instantly, in case of trouble.::
CEO_Lt_Monroe says:
@::Arms Torpedoes:: XO: Torpedoes armed.
Host CO_West says:
OPS: what else about Ancient Chinese mythology do you have on Dragons?
XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::nods to the CEO, as he watches the FCO slide the Chameleon through the "dragons" mouth::
OPS_Ens_Lessing says:
CO: Searching....
MO_Alexi says:
::As he lets a Vulcan woman in, an unusual feeling begins to build inside his stomach. Almost as if his internal organs are cramping up, Alexi groans in pain, but shrugs it off and begins to run scans on the newly arrived patients::

XO_Cmdr_Anderson says:
@::looks out the window as the Chameleon enters the dragon, suddenly everything becomes dark:: FCO: Find us a nice spot Lieutenant

FCO_Ltjg_Keown says:
@::Scans the creature's insides.::
MO_Alexi says:
::From his vantage point on the Sickbay floor, Crewman Alexi watches as a sea of officers make their way into the small medical facility. He estimates about 30 or more officers surrounding him, some with mild discomfort, others being carried in, already convulsing, or even dead::
