CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Lieutenant, begin a sonar scan of the anomaly.

CNS_Jordain says:
::enters TL:: TL: Deck 9

FCO_McRae says:
Computer: What is current date and time?

CMO_Richmond says:
::helps the CO onto the biobed and starts to scan::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Aye. ::takes out a PADD, while scanning::

CNS_Jordain says:
::stands in the moving turbolift::

ATO_Langston says:
::gets into the TL:: TL: Bridge

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Shuttle containing Ensign Trent is searching the pre-arranged co-ordinates of where he was supposed to meet the USS Orion.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::hesitates again and then offers the PADD to Stelakh::

CMO_Richmond says:
*XO*: Commander, I've got the Captain in sickbay. She's currently in a coma. I'll keep you informed

FCO_McRae says:
::gets time and realizes he's on duty in a matter of minutes::

FCO_McRae says:
::runs to the TL::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::arches a brow, then takes the PADD and sets it down.::

ATO_Langston says:
::enters the bridge and heads to the tactical station::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CMO* Thank you, Dr. Richmond...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Is this pertinent, Lieutenant?

FCO_McRae says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::sighs:: CTO: Take it, please. You can read it later.

CNS_Jordain says:
::exits TL and heads for sickbay::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Looks at the PADD sitting next to him::

Host XO_Ross says:
::sits back in the big chair:: Self: Thank God she is safe...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Are you unwell, Lieutenant?

CEO_Rogers says:
:: in Main engineering ::

Sima says:
::sits on the floor in mummy's quarters and stares out the window into space::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::waits for a return from his scans::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::tries to concentrate on the scans:: CTO: ::weakly:: I'm fine.

FCO_McRae says:
::arrives at the bridge and slides into the small, uncomfortable FCO's chair with one second to spare::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Get yourself and Mr. Wagner back to the ship...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The scans indicate that there is something attached to the ship on the secondary hull.

ASO_Trent says:
%::wakes up::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO* Commander, we have not finished with our investigation. Request permission to finish before returning.

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. McRae, how is the computer core going?

CNS_Jordain says:
Computer: Current time, please ?

CEO_Rogers says:
::checks the computer core::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::transfers her data to the CTO's console and realizes her hands are shaking::

Host Quchant says:
<Computer> CNS: The time is currently Lunch.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::ramps the sensors into the next level of scanning and awaits the XO's reply::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* As soon as you are finished, I wasn't sure if you were finished or not...

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO*: Understood, Commander. Stelakh out.

CMO_Richmond says:
::continues to work on the CO, trying desperately to understand the nature of her coma, and any possible remedy::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::raises an eyebrow::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Should be finished. At least what I can do is. A lot of little things like replicator recipes are missing. But the ship's logic programs are functional again.

Host XO_Ross says:
::starts to rub her forehead::

ATO_Langston says:
::starts gathering all information on the "something" attached to the secondary hull::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO* Stelakh to Commander Ross.

CNS_Jordain says:
::enters sickbay:: CMO: Good day, sir. ::Glances at the unconscious CO:: How is she ?

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Ross here.

CMO_Richmond says:
::turns to see the CNS:: CNS: She's currently in a coma. Welcome aboard, Ensign

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO* Commander, the anomaly is draining power from ship's secondary systems.

CEO_Rogers says:
:: runs more scans on the hull ::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::tries to surprises the trembling of her hands and glances nervously at Stelakh::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Is there any way from you view that we can stop it...

CMO_Richmond says:
::continues working on the CO::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Ensign Trent's shuttle is in a standard search pattern.

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO* I am continuing scans, Commander.

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: Thank you. I hope she'll get well soon.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Thank you. Keep me updated, thank you...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Ramps his scans up to the next level and includes standard sonar scans in the package.::

ASO_Trent says:
%::yawns::

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: No more than I do, Ensign. Is there any way that you can help me try and find out what caused this? I can't seem to find any cause at the moment

FCO_McRae says:
::starts to work on recovering personal data and replicator recipes in the computer system::

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I'm still off duty, so I thought I'd check by. When do you have some time to go over the med files of the crew with me?

ATO_Langston says:
*CTO* This is Ens. Langston. Sir, see if you can find out by what means that device is attached to our hull... Magnetically, using a pressure chamber...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Lieutenant, please begin scanning through all visible-light wavelengths individually.

CTO_Stelakh says:
*ATO* I am attempting so to do, Ensign.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::nods shakily and obeys::

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: Of course. I'll see what I can do to help.

ASO_Trent says:
%::starts looking for the Orion::

Sima says:
::grabs the finger paints and return to the window.. has a seat and begins with red::

Host Quchant says:
%<Computer> ASO: Please restate request.

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: Of course, but now is not a good time to ask that sort of question. ::turns back to the CO::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*ATO* Stelakh to Ensign Langston.

ATO_Langston says:
*CTO* Langston here.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The entire ship starts to shake a little...

CNS_Jordain says:
::slowly moves over to the CO's biobed::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Just tell me one thing, Mr. McRae. Can I get a cup of coffee, or do I have to wait until we get back to the Starbase?

CMO_Richmond says:
::holds on to the biobed as he shakes a little::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::shakes her head and tries to concentrate on her work... which is getting harder::

FCO_McRae says:
::checks stabilizers to figure out why the ship is shaking::

ATO_Langston says:
::feels the vibrations on the ship...starts looking for the cause of it::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*ATO* Begin internal scans. Look for signs of attachment on the hull.

ASO_Trent says:
%Computer: Start long range scanner search for the Orion.

Sima says:
::holds onto paints so they don't spill:: Self: Ohh.. bad ship.. stop that!

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO* Stelakh to Commander Ross.

CMO_Richmond says:
::extends a hand to the CNS:: CNS: Todd Richmond, welcome aboard.

Host Quchant says:
%<Computer> ASO: Acknowledged

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Sir, could it be a life form?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::Switches his scans, attempting to find a frequency attenuation in the anomaly::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Ross, go ahead, Mr. Stelakh...

FCO_McRae says:
XO: One minute sir, I'll program coffee. I've only done the important things, beer, whiskey, Romulan Ale.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: That is not without the realm of possibility, Lieutenant.

FCO_McRae says:
::programs coffee into the replicator system::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: OPS and CTO see the attached thing shake and cause the Orion to shake...

CNS_Jordain says:
::gladly accepts the CMO's hand:: CMO: Thank you.

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. McRae, I will forget I heard that, okay? And just get me my coffee...

CMO_Richmond says:
::goes back to trying to determine the cause of the CO's coma::

ATO_Langston says:
*CTO* Aye, sir... beginning scans.

FCO_McRae says:
XO: It's ready for you, sir.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Ship begins to shake even more.

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Any ideas? ::sees the ship shake:: Self: What the...?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO* There is activity in the anomaly. I am attempting to ascertain if there is a certain frequency relevant to the anomaly.

Sima says:
::sticks fingers in the vibrating jar and draws a big circle on the window in red::

FCO_McRae says:
::tries to control the shaking of the ship.::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Blinky light [tm] on the operations board starts to blink.

CNS_Jordain says:
::nearly falls over as the ship rocks about::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: It may be possible to remove the anomaly with bursts of opposite frequencies.

ATO_Langston says:
::starts looking for any signs of an attachment that perforated the hull internally::

CMO_Richmond says:
::holds on to the biobed again:: CNS: What was that?

Sima says:
::the circle gets all smudged and she frowns::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Arches a brow::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO ::hesitantly:: And if that's a life form after all? What if we hurt it?

FCO_McRae says:
::sees Blinky light [tm] and answers it since there's no OPS officer on the bridge::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Cease all scans immediately.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Can you get a fix on it?

OPS_Wagner says:
@::kills the scans::

ASO_Trent says:
%Computer: Status? Anything in range?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO* Stelakh to Commander Ross. The anomaly shows specific frequencies, which change with the scans.

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I don't know, are we under attack or something?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*ATO* Ensign Langston, cease all scans immediately.

ASO_Trent says:
%<Computer> Picking up a faint signal on long range scanners.

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: I'm not sure. *XO* Commander, what's going on up there?

Sima says:
::pours some yellow paint into hand.. some of it dropping on the floor.. and puts a few big hand prints on the window::

OPS_Wagner says:
@::bites her lip as her headache gets worse:: CTO: Any further orders, sir?

Host XO_Ross says:
*CMO* Stand by.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: At the moment, I am at a loss, Lieutenant. Analysation of the data we have received thus far would seem to be the next logical step.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Begins running the data through the computer for analysis.

FCO_McRae says:
XO: The hull shows signs of tiny fractures. They disappear when the Away Team stops scanning.

CNS_Jordain says:
::looks over to the CO to check she didn't fall off the biobed::

CMO_Richmond says:
*XO*: Acknowledged. CNS: We have work to do. Just make sure you have a good foothold, Ensign ::smiles a little::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Perhaps we should return to the ship, its resources are better suited for this.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Stop scanning.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: Stelakh to Commander Ross. There are signs of some form of intelligence within the anomaly.

CNS_Jordain says:
*XO*: Ok sir, I'm on my way if you want me there.

Host Quchant says:
@<Computer> CTO: Data indicates presence of intelligent lifeform

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: I have already terminated scans, Commander.

Sima says:
::draws a few long green lines up the window::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@Computer: Identify life form.

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: Can you find anything?

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Then will you stop the scan now... and I mean it...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::shakes her head at the Computer and the XO and winces as her headache increases tenfold::

Host Quchant says:
%<Computer> ASO: The signal matches the transponder ID code of the USS Orion NCC 50955

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO* Commander, scans ceased several minutes ago.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Thank you...

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: How the ship now...

CNS_Jordain says:
*XO*: Do you need me up there, sir ?

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Seems to be fine. I hope it's not just a computer glitch. Of course, the anomaly could be controlling the computer for all I can tell right now.

ASO_Trent says:
Computer: The ship in scanners has been identified as the USS Orion?

Host XO_Ross says:
*CNS* If you wish...

Host Quchant says:
%<computer> ASO: Affirmative.

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I'm trying to find some remaining consciousness, but I think that anomaly is interfering with my telepathic abilities...

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Thanks. Keep an eye on any changes...

Sima says:
::finishes off the painting with a few blue hand prints.. just for color::

FCO_McRae says:
::keeps an eye out for changes::

CMO_Richmond says:
::manages to stabilize the CO::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CNS* I need some help. Have you ever manned a science station?

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: Looks like I'll be quite busy from now on.

CMO_Richmond says:
*XO*: Commander, I have stabilized the Captain. Do you need any help up there?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: Stelakh to Commander Ross. Request permission to further approach the anomaly.

CNS_Jordain says:
*XO*: I have, on various vessels, but never on a federation starship. I'll be on my way, sir.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Orion starts to shake violently as the large square purple box withdraw its tendrils.

Sima says:
::runs through the quarters looking for the jar of white paint::

FCO_McRae says:
::grabs the console and tries to bring the ship under control::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: The lifeform appears to be withdrawing.

CMO_Richmond says:
::hangs on to the biobed again::

Sima says:
::falls over as the ship shakes harder.. starts to get motion sickness::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: What will we do now, follow it?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Looks over at Wagner::

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I'm needed on the bridge. Are you staying here or are you going up to the bridge too ?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Take the weapons console... ::pauses::

ASO_Trent says:
%COM: USS Orion, this is Ensign Trent to the Orion. Please respond.

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: Hang on a minute.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CMO* That would be great. I need some help finding out some data. Have someone watch the CO, and if there is any changes in her condition I want you back down there ASAP...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::hopes she doesn't look the way she feels and looks back to Stelakh::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Are you unwell, Lieutenant?

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Sima knocks all the paint over herself.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The large box finishes withdrawing... and the ship stops shaking... the box is now heading towards the shuttle.

OPS_Wagner says:
@ ::moves to stand up and stumbles:: CTO: I'm okay... ::gasps quietly::

CMO_Richmond says:
*XO*: I'm on my way. Richmond out. Raminov: Nurse Raminov, get Dr. Sanders in here, and let me know if there's any change. CNS: Let's go.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Do it, but be careful. Don't upset whatever it is out there...

CNS_Jordain says:
::is thrown onto the wall::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Reaches over and raises shields::

Sima says:
::sits in a puddle of paint and starts to get a bit green as tummy starts to hurt::

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: Okay. ::walks out of sickbay toward the TL::

CMO_Richmond says:
::sees the CNS hit the wall:: CNS: Are you ok?

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: The lifeform is approaching our position, preparing for evasive action.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::moves to TAC and sits down::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The communication blinky light starts blinking.

FCO_McRae says:
::answers blinky light[tm]::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The tendrils reach out to the shuttle with the CTO and OPS in it.

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I'm all right ::rubs the back of his head::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::begins backing the shuttle off quickly::

CMO_Richmond says:
::follows the CNS to the turbolift::

CMO_Richmond says:
TL: Bridge. CNS: That was quite a nasty bump.

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Your orders? ::hands hover above the phaser controls::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* We may have to beam you out of there if it attacks you... but try to get out of its way...

ATO_Langston says:
XO: That thing is reaching to the shuttle, commander. Should I fire?

FCO_McRae says:
XO: There's some Ensign trying to contact us.

Sima says:
::runs for the bathroom::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Take the Con, Lieutenant. Evasive action.

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: It was. I just hope I won't get a headache from it...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::pauses, then stands up quickly::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Slips smoothly into the tactical station::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Lock on the away team... ATO: Stand by...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::switches chairs with the CTO::

FCO_McRae says:
::attempts to get a lock on the AT::

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: Well, let me know the moment you do ::enters the bridge as the doors open::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The box closes on the shuttle.

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Reporting for duty, Commander.

Sima says:
::didn't make it to the bathroom::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@Shields up. Weapons online.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::moves the shuttle out of the way, or tries to::

CNS_Jordain says:
CMO: I will ::enters the bridge too::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: Take us out, maximum impulse, Lieutenant.

ATO_Langston says:
XO: Phasers and torpedoes on standby

Host XO_Ross says:
CMO: Grab OPS.. and CNS takes science...

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: You got that lock?

OPS_Wagner says:
@::obeys::

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::sits at OPS::

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::jumps over to the science station::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: I can't get a lock through the shields. sir.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* I am reading to beam you out.

CMO_Richmond says:
FCO: You want me to get that hail?

ASO_Trent says:
%COMM: Orion: This is Ensign Trent to the Orion, please respond.

Host XO_Ross says:
CMO: Can you tell him to stand by...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::fights with the conn panel::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: We are in evasive maneuvers, Commander, with shields raised.

CNS_Jordain says:
::starts scanning as soon as he figures out the controls::

Sima says:
::gets cleaned up and looks for more paint::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The communication blinky light [tm] continues to blink.

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Aye, sir. COMM: ASO: Ensign Trent, this is the Orion. We have you on our sensors. We are currently occupied at the moment, please set a course for us. We'll be waiting for you.

FCO_McRae says:
CMO: It's just some Ensign, he can wait.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* If we fire then I don't know what it will do to your shuttle...

CNS_Jordain says:
::looking at the scans, showing the shuttle in distress:: Self: Wow.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: Commander, if you fire then you may be firing on an intelligence in a First Contact situation.

FCO_McRae says:
::tries to alter the transporter system to get through the shields of the shuttle::

CMO_Richmond says:
FCO: He's also the Ensign who's replacing the Counselor at Science. ::grins::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The box gets closer to the shuttle... and is gaining on it.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::looks at the CTO:: CTO: We can't allow that.

FCO_McRae says:
CMO: I guess you'd better call him in, then.

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Commander, I have a lock on the shuttle.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: This lifeform did not kill any of the crew or destroy the Orion. It is logical to assume that it is merely gathering information.

CMO_Richmond says:
FCO: Already done, Lieutenant.

ATO_Langston says:
::attempts to lock weapons on the box... prepares to fire manually if necessary::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* You're right...

OPS_Wagner says:
@::tries to move the shuttle out of the way of the box:: Self: ::whispers:: Gods...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The box starts to split along its middle and starts to open up... it dwarfs the shuttle...

CNS_Jordain says:
::raises eyebrow:: CMO: I heard that.

Host XO_Ross says:
CMO: Try and open a channel to the box, all channels ...

CMO_Richmond says:
CNS: Welcome aboard, Counselor... XO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Richmond says:
::tries to open hailing frequencies on all channels::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::reactivates all sensors and scanners.::

Sima says:
::can't find it... so decides to use Jo's lip stick instead.. drags all her makeup to the floor and pulls out the pretty ones::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Okay, and now what? ::reaches up to adjust her hair with a trembling hand::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::rigs a direct dump from the shuttle's sensors to the Orion computers.::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The communication traffic between the Orion and the box can be overheard by Ensign Trent's shuttle.

CNS_Jordain says:
::smiles at CMO::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Trying to communicate with the box...

ATO_Langston says:
::decides that the window for firing is over... it should be way too risky to fire at the box while the shuttle is enveloped by it::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The hail is returned... really high pitched painful squeaks...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: Commander, I have reinitiated scans and am sending all data directly to the Orion's computers.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The now open box closes on the shuttle...

CMO_Richmond says:
::flinches as the hail is returned::

ATO_Langston says:
::covers ears:: Self: There are times when I hate my Vulcan hearing...

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: Uhm, sir?

Host XO_Ross says:
CNS: You should be getting some data...

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Trying to compensate, Commander.

FCO_McRae says:
::glad years of drinking have deadened all of his senses::

CMO_Richmond says:
::tries to sort the frequency::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Orion has the scene on the main viewer... large box... chasing and trying to eat small shuttle.

Host XO_Ross says:
CMO: Keep trying...

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::continues his scans::

FCO_McRae says:
::positions ship to get a better view of the alien::

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::changes the frequency::

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::arches a brow.::

OPS_Wagner says:
@CTO: ::small voice:: Sir?

ASO_Trent says:
%COMM: CMO: Please respond.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@OPS: EVA suits, now.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The box closes and a nacelle on the shuttle is caught...

Sima says:
::goes back to the window and makes big swiggels on the glass::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: MAJOR explosions, clouds of vapor, etc. in the shuttle.

OPS_Wagner says:
@::tries to stand up quickly but trips over her chair and lands in a heap on the floor::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The shields on the shuttle go down... in an instant.

CMO_Richmond says:
COMM: ASO: Ensign, we have a situation on our hands. Hold your position. We will come and find you. Orion out.

CTO_Stelakh says:
@*XO*: Stelakh to Commander Ross. I am preparing to drop the shields. Beam us over at will.

ATO_Langston says:
::sees the nacelle explosion:: Self: Uh oh.

CMO_Richmond says:
XO: Commander!

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::Makes his way to the EVA suit locker and extracts one::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Beam them out of there

CTO_Stelakh says:
@::turns and notices that Wagner is down, then pulls the EVA suit out and approaches Wagner::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The shuttle is shaken all over creation and the CTO and OPS get thrown about into each other.

FCO_McRae says:
::suddenly discovers he can get a lock on the AT::

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: I am, one second sir :: repeatingly taps the SCI console heavily::

OPS_Wagner says:

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The AT is beamed out....

Host Quchant (Transporter.wav)

CMO_Richmond says:
COMM: ASO: Acknowledged, Ensign.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Are you both safe?

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The AT appears in Sickbay entangled in each other... any other situation would have been embarrassing.

OPS_Wagner says:
::finds herself on the floor of the sickbay::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::disentangles himself from Wagner enough to hit his commbadge:: *XO*: We are aboard, Commander, but Lieutenant Wagner is unwell.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Large box continues to consume the shuttle.

OPS_Wagner says:
::sits up:: CTO: I'm fine!

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: It is fortunate that we are in Sickbay, Lieutenant, for my hypothesis can be tested for accuracy.

Host XO_Ross says:
CMO: Return to sickbay... and check them out...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: OPS suddenly sees all black... and falls over... and then her vision clears again.

CMO: Oh, once they're cleared send them back to the bridge...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Sima finds the most expensive off duty clothing her mother has.

OPS_Wagner says:
::knows she is looking really pale:: CTO: I'm fine, I assure you, Lieutenant.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::picks Wagner up easily and places her bodily on a biobed.::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The sensors on the bridge... start going crazy.

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: Lieutenant, please wait for the Doctor to arrive or I will restrain you.

OPS_Wagner says:
::gasps loudly as she feels the CTO's hands on her and cries out in pain::

FCO_McRae says:
::wonders if he is going to have to shut down the computer again::

ATO_Langston says:
::starts trying to sort out the sensor data::

CMO_Richmond says:
::enters the Turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.

Sima says:
::finds a nice red dress with lots of sparkles and heads for the window::

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* I want you and Mr. Wagner to remain in sickbay until the doctor clears you for duty, understood?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::arches a brow::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Sensors read the shuttle is about to explode.

CTO_Stelakh says:
*CMO*: Stelakh to Doctor Richmond.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The box continues to eat the shuttle...

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, Commander.

OPS_Wagner says:
::tries to move away so that she isn't in contact with Stelakh any more, but fails::

Sima says:
::gets the window cleaner and sprays down the window.. rubbing the paint and make up off the glass with the red dress::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: What is the box doing now... and raise the shields...

CTO_Stelakh says:
::retrieves a tricorder and begins scanning Wagner::

CMO_Richmond says:
::enters sickbay:: CTO: I'm right here, Lieutenant. What happened?

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The warp core on the shuttle breaches and explodes.

FCO_McRae says:
::raises shields:: XO: It's "eating" the shuttle.

CTO_Stelakh says:
CMO: Doctor, I believe that Lieutenant Wagner is ill.

CNS_Jordain says:
::finally figures out how the SCI console works:: XO: My sensors are behaving erratically, sir! I don't get any clear readings ...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: A big white light emanates out from the shuttle and temporally blinds the crew in one of those awful white out scenes you see on the TV.

CNS_Jordain says:
::shields eyes::

FCO_McRae says:
::grabs console for the after shock::

ATO_Langston says:
::stays blind thanks to Vulcan second eyelid::

Sima says:
::sees the bright white flash and drops the dress... covering eyes and yelping::

CMO_Richmond says:
::looks over to Wagner:: CTO: You're not wrong. ::gets out his tricorder::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: What happened to the other shuttle that was out there?

CMO_Richmond says:
::scans Wagner::

OPS_Wagner says:
::sits up with difficulty:: CMO/CTO: Gentlemen, I'm fine.

FCO_McRae says:
XO: The CMO was talking to the Ensign on board. I'll check the sensors.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: As the light fades there is no trace of the shuttle or the box.

FCO_McRae says:
::scans for other shuttle::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: The other shuttle is approaching at an incredibly low rate of speed.

ATO_Langston says:
::continues blind and simply stares forward:: XO: Hmm... Commander. Permission to go to sickbay

OPS_Wagner says:
::holds on to the CMO's arm and stands up:: CMO: Seriously, I'm okay, Just tired.

CMO_Richmond says:
CTO: There's nothing physically wrong with her. But she's a little pale.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::arches a brow::

Host XO_Ross says:
ATO: Yes... do.

CTO_Stelakh says:
CMO: There is nothing physically wrong with her, Doctor?

Sima says:
::makes a really poor attempt to clean up the mess... only making it bigger::

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: ::whispers:: We need to talk. Now.

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: What did you find out there?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::looks at Richmond::

CMO_Richmond says:
::shakes his head:: CTO: The only thing I can find is a slightly elevated adrenaline level.

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: It seems my science console is having some kind of malfunction... I'm not getting anything.

ATO_Langston says:
::attempts to walk to the turbolift by memory::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Nothing sir, other than the other shuttle which actually moved a whole foot not too long ago.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CMO* How are CTO and OPS doing? Are they ready to return to the bridge?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::turns to Wagner::

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: Yes, Lieutenant?

Sima says:
::heads to the bathroom to get a bath and takes the whole bottle of bubble bath::

ATO_Langston says:
::almost trips, but reaches TL:: TL: Deck 9.

CMO_Richmond says:
*XO*: I'm about to clear Lieutenant Wagner, sir. Lieutenant Stelakh is fine.

OPS_Wagner says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: We are needed on the bridge, but let's make a detour to my quarters, please.

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Get the other shuttle on the comm and get him on board...

FCO_McRae says:
::continues to scan for the box::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::looks at the Doctor again::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Damage reports start to pour in from around the ship to the Operations Console

CTO_Stelakh says:
CMO: Are we cleared to return to duty, Doctor?

OPS_Wagner says:
CMO: Am I free to go, Doctor?

Host XO_Ross says:
*CMO* Thank you...

FCO_McRae says:
::hails the Ensign's shuttle::

ATO_Langston says:
::leaves TL and walks towards sickbay blindly, careful not to bump into anything::

Host XO_Ross says:
CNS: Could you take OPS until Mr. Wagner returns...

CMO_Richmond says:
OPS: I don't see anything to stop you... ::shrugs::

Sima says:
::runs a tub full of warm water and empties the bottle in the running water::

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::walks over to OPS::

ATO_Langston says:
::bumps head on the wall next to sickbay door... finds the door and enters sickbay::

ATO_Langston says:
CMO: Dr. Richmond?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::turns toward the door, and notices Langston entering::

OPS_Wagner says:
::smiles warmly at the CMO:: CTO: You coming?

CMO_Richmond says:
::looks to see Langston enter:: ATO: Ensign?

CTO_Stelakh says:
ATO: Ensign, why are you not at Tactical?

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: One moment, sir.

ATO_Langston says:
CMO: Doctor... I seem to be blind.

FCO_McRae says:
::hails the Ensign's shuttle, again::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::arches a brow::

CMO_Richmond says:
ATO: What happened? ::scans the Ensign::

OPS_Wagner says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: The reason seems to be good enough, wouldn't you say?

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Communication console on Ensign Trent's shuttle continues to indicate that there is an incoming hail.

ATO_Langston says:
CMO: A bright light flooded the bridge... from the explosion of the shuttle and the box.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::arches a brow, then nods to himself.::

CNS_Jordain says:
::checking the stability of the comsystem to the shuttle and keeps hailing::

ASO_Trent says:
%COMM: Orion: This is Ensign Trent.

CTO_Stelakh says:
CMO: Please keep me posted, Doctor.

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: Come on, we don't have much time.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::turns toward the door.

OPS_Wagner says:
::walks next to Stelakh::

CMO_Richmond says:
CTO: Of course, Lieutenant.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::steps out into the corridor::

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Shall we wait for the Ensign or have him meet us at the Starbase?

OPS_Wagner says:
::turns to the CTO to say something, but trips and grabs his bare arm for balance::

CMO_Richmond says:
ATO: Well, the good news is that it's only temporary. You may as well take a seat until it clears. Do you feel any pain at all?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::turns to steady Wagner, then goes suddenly pale::

Sima says:
::jumps in the tub and gets water on the floor::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::steps back, almost seemingly in revulsion::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Give him another call... and we will see...

OPS_Wagner says:
::gasps::

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: Gods, I'm sorry...

ATO_Langston says:
CMO: No pain. What caused it? Everyone else on the bridge seemed to be fine.

FCO_McRae says:
CNS: Have you been able to raise the ensign?

CTO_Stelakh says:
::attempts to compose himself, but speaks with a slight tremble:: OPS: You are unwell, sir. The Doctor was correct, you are not physically affected.

CMO_Richmond says:
ATO: I don't know. When was the last time you were on Vulcan?

CNS_Jordain says:
FCO: No, I'm still trying ... I already checked the comsystem, but there are no errors. He just seems to ignore the hails ...

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: I know what is wrong with me. I can control it, for now. Please, I need to fetch something from my quarters, and then we are needed on the bridge.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::pulls himself together::

Sima says:
::plays with the rubber ducky and splashes bubbles all over the place::

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: If he has, then tell him he has five minuntes to get here or he can meet us on the starbase...

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: Time passes the shuttle finally draws near... the water in the bath goes cold and the ATO's sight starts to return.

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: You are unable to perform your duties, Lieutenant.

OPS_Wagner says:
::breathes deeply, trying to get back to her functional alter ego::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::reaches up to tap his commbadge::

FCO_McRae says:
::hopes the Ensign isn't planning to land the shuttle on his own.::

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: You were not a Healer, or a Master last time I checked.

Host XO_Ross says:
CNS: What the damage reports like...

ATO_Langston says:
CMO: Vulcan? Over ten years ago.

Sima says:
::is taking a nap on the couch all wrapped up in a big towel::

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Checking... please stand by.

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: I am Chief Tactical Officer of this vessel, and as such it is my determination that placing you back on active duty is currently a security risk.

ASO_Trent says:
%COMM: Orion: This is Ensign Trent , request permission to dock.

Host XO_Ross says:
FCO: Once the Ensign is on board get him to report to me...

OPS_Wagner says:
Computer: Copy files 125, 532 and 568 from my personal directory to the CTO's computer terminal.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::arches a brow and taps his commbadge::

Host XO_Ross says:
::gets up and paces the bridge again:::

OPS_Wagner says:
CTO: Those files ::gasps:: you should read them.

FCO_McRae says:
XO: Shall I tractor him in? The shuttle bay is a little crowded right now.

CNS_Jordain says:
::heavily tapping the OPS controls::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO*: Stelakh to Commander Ross.

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The Shuttle is brought on board via automatic pilot/tractor.

OPS_Wagner says:
::swallows with difficulty::

CMO_Richmond says:
ATO: Well, how do you feel now?

CTO_Stelakh says:
OPS: Return to Sickbay, Lieutenant. I will accompany you.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Ross here, go ahead...

FCO_McRae says:
*ASO*: Ensign, report to the XO immediately, she is on the bridge.

OPS_Wagner says:
::shakes her head and then moans as the corridor starts blurring in front of her::

CTO_Stelakh says:
*XO*: Commander, I am relieving Lieutenant Wagner of duty for reasons of Ship's Security.

OPS_Wagner says:
::slumps forward::

FCO_McRae says:
::awaits the reply of the ASO::

CTO_Stelakh says:
::reaches forward and catches Wagner, going pale again::

Host Quchant says:
ACTION: The OPS collapses in a heap in the CTO's arms.

Host XO_Ross says:
*CTO* Fine, just give me a full report...

OPS_Wagner says:
~~~ CTO: I'm so sorry... ~~~

ASO_Trent says:
*FCO* Acknowleged.

CNS_Jordain says:
XO: Only minor damage sir. Nothing alarming.

CTO_Stelakh says:
::winces and lifts Wagner, then turns to carry her back to Sickbay::

Host Quchant says:
