U.S.S. Pendragon

10111.10

Special Guest Stars:
Marci as Andzi_Reb.
Tigs as Bilbo.

Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis: The Pendragon has delivered their classified cargo to the New Elm colony in the Darian system.  On the planet below, an away team meets with the provisional governor for dinner and to exchange news, for the planet is off the beaten path.

The food is simple but nicely done and the talk, for some ::Eyes the bored Klingon::  has been pleasant.

On the ship, the TO has located an anomalous reading behind the closest moon to the planet and the EO is having a wee bit of a problem… The engines wont' start.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::jumps slightly and smiles:: Tau: Not at all. Everything is wonderful, thank you.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::sighs:: Computer:  Run a Level 3 diagnostic on the Warp Core.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The EO hears a very very tiny... OK, she thinks she hears something from behind one of the panels.

aXO_Kyrron says:
::intensely examines the sensor readings trying to figure out what that was::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::turns as she thinks she hears something ... goes over and opens the panel from where the sound appeared to be coming from::

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks at the FCO and frowns ::

aXO_Kyrron says:
::finds nothing new so asks an SO to try and analyze the anomalous reading::

Bilbo says:
# Andzi :: aye, got it locked down and ready to get outta here as soon as you get back.:

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  Captain, are you sure?  ::Sighs and leans back::  Please, finish your story.  What became of the people who are now merefolk?

@::picks at his meal being a bit preoccupied::

Host Gov_Tau says:
<SO Found> aXO:  It looks like it could be energy from an engine.

MO_Torek says:
@::takes in the architecture::

aXO_Kyrron says:
SO:  An engine eh?  ::looks thoughtful::

Andzi_Reb says:
@*Bilbo*: Ok, you can initiate transport. I can't go to your ship though.....it would make me look a bit suspicious...::Laughs Evilly::

EO_Pettigrove says:
Self:  What the ... ::grabs a tool kit and climbs into the cavity::

Host CO_Zax says:
@::smiles once again:: TAU: .....they are quite happy now.

aXO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Move us a little closer to that moon.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The architecture is well made, but on the functional side.

MO_Torek says:
@GOv: The architecture here is interesting.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The dust is sticky and smells strangely.

aXO_Kyrron says:
TO Whoever:  Adjust scans to detect <insert technical word here>

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: smiles as the hears the Captain tell the story of the talking fish ::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  AXO: Aye Cmdr.  ::moves toward coordinates::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Smiles::  MO:  I find it comforting.

Bilbo says:
#Andzi : locking on transporters now.:

Bilbo says:
#:: beams up the last container of cargo ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::climbs out rubbing the dust on her finger and frowns, noticing a strange odour::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO: Good, I am slightly envious of them.

Andzi_Reb says:
@*Bilbo*: Great!!! How many bars of latinum is it worth?

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The TO picks up the beam.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::takes another surreptitious scan under the table, reading the first of the reports from the surface team::

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:  Engineering to Bridge.

Bilbo says:
#Andzi : About 10000 and tally ho later partner.:

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: I must confess that I am. ::sighs lightly::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<TO Whatever>  aXO:  I am picking up transports from the surface.

Bilbo says:
#:: Breaks orbit and jumps to warp.::

MO_Torek says:
@::sips on the interesting beverage::

TO_McCloud says:
::hurries onto the bridge::

aXO_Kyrron says:
TO:  McCloud, try to determine the destination of those transports.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hurries back to the dinner table::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  What's up?

TO_McCloud says:
aXO: Yes, sir! ::starts running scans::

Bilbo says:
#:: Sips her Andorian ale and she flies out of the area.::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon picks up the vessel warping out of the system.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:  We have a little problem down here.  We've just discovered something odd in Engineering ...

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::raises an eyebrow at her scans, wondering how the initial bioscans could have missed it::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  AXO: Cmdr, there is a vessel departing the system at high warp....

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  Something odd in Engineering?  How could that be?

aXO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Try to determine its coordinates and warp signature in case we need to track it later.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:   Unknown, Sir.  We can't even identify the substance ... it's like a sticky dust.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  CSO:  Because it wasn't there before.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Arrives back at the dinner table:: Tau: Sorry about that, governor. Just checking desert arrangements with the chef.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at TAU:: Tau: Would you excuse me for a moment? I'd like to check in with my ship. ::rises::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  AXO: Aye Cmdr.  Should we pursue?

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  Is it causing any problems?

TO_McCloud says:
aXO: Heading 4117 mark 3.  Towards the Orions.

aXO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Not at the moment, thank you.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  But of course.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:  Yes it is.  Warp Engines are off-line.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::leans toward the CO and whispers:: CO: Captain, something strange....

aXO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Thank you, McCloud.  Anyway to determine from the sensor readings what was transported?

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  ::begins tracking the ion trail and logging coordinates::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@Andzi:  Excellent, and how is it?

Bilbo says:
#:: Figures she has gotten away and chugs the last  of her ale, pulling out a flask of  Yridian brandy.::

TO_McCloud says:
aXO: Working on it now...

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: listens quietly to the Captain's conversation ::

Host CO_Zax says:
@::turns to O'Dunn with a nod:: CSO: Come with me. ::walks out to the hallway and turns back to O'Dunn.

Andzi_Reb says:
@Gov: Superb, sir. I think our guests will be pleased.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::nods and follows gratefully, eager to escape the leering TO at the table::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Smiles and takes her seat::

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: frowns and wonders where the Captain is going ::

Host CO_Zax says:
@CSO: Problem, Lt?

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:  We're in the process of cleaning it off now.  But we don't know exactly what damage has been done until we can get a good look at the engines.

TO2_Trget says:
@::watches the gorgeous redhead walk away.  Drools::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  Have someone run a sample to science and keep me informed.

MO_Torek says:
@::pays no attention to the CO and CSO who have stepped away from the table, still looking around::

Host CO_Zax says:
@<server>::gets out the mop::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@Andzi:  Excellent.  As soon as we are done, you may go ahead and get it set up.  The sooner the better.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: I've been scanning....ummm...under the table, and I detected an odd microbe.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*aXO*:  Acknowledged.  ::gives a sample of the dust to an engineer to take to Science::

Andzi_Reb says:
@Gov: Of course sir.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::continues to make small talk, but ~~~lends an ear to the CO and CSO~~~ for juicy detail on when we get out of here::
Bilbo says:
#:: Takes a couple slugs of the brandy and jumps to warp 7.::

Host CO_Zax says:
@::raises a brow but doesn't ask just why she would have been scanning under the table in the first place:: CSO: A microbe?

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks around the diner table and wishes he had some gagh ::

TO_McCloud says:
aXO: They transported the cargo we put down there

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hopes that there are not any empaths at the table, because she is sending off very guilty vibes::

TO2_Trget says:
@::chugs back some wine::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::nods:: CO: Our initial scans didn't detect it. I won't know for sure until we run a diagnostic, but I don't think it was here before.

aXO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Yes, but anyway to tell just what it was?

Host CO_Zax says:
@::frowns:: CSO: And your theory as to how it got there?

Andzi_Reb says:
@Gov: The cargo is secure also, sir. Just resting your mind.

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  Do you have a moment, Captain.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::taps her badge:: COMM:Pen: Of course, Tria.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@Andzi:  Thank you... but it is still worrisome to have all that... well, you know.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: Maybe saying it wasn't here isn't quite accurate. It may have been dormant, in the soil. It seems to be reacting with some of the equipment we brought.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::goes back to the panel and continues to clean off the dust as best she can::

FCO_Rofax says:
@::   ~~~ continues to drop in on various conversations ~~~  ::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  Sensors indicate that the cargo we brought here has been beamed to another ship which then warped out of the area.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::frowns::

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks up to the sky and wonders what is happening on the Pendragon ::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::nods:: Gov: I know, sir. But the science teams will take care of it. Don't be worried. ::continues to send off guilty vibes::

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pen: Where you able to identify the ship?

Bilbo says:
#::takes a couple more slugs of her brandy.::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  No, but we have a good idea where she is headed.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at O'Dunn:: CSO: Could this microbe endanger the crew?

FCO_Rofax says:
@::  ~~~ focuses his attention on the hosts, especially the one who was gone for so long ~~~  ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::hears another sound ... removes a neighbouring panel and finds what looks like corrosion on the metal::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  Engineering also reports a strange dusty substance they can't identify.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: I don't know. I don't think it's small enough to penetrate into the tissues to get what it wants. It seems to "eat" certain types of metal.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  Bilbo begins to have problems with his engines.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::runs a tricorder over the affected area::

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pendragon: Continue to monitor its course. We'll be returning shortly....as soon as we get some answers. ::pauses:: Dust? In the warp trail?

Host CO_Zax says:
@::frowns:: CSO: It EATS metal?

Bilbo says:
#:: grumbles as she reinitializes her engines and keep flying  as fast as she can.::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  No, Sir.  In Engineering.  It seems to be causing some damage.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hopes that Bilbo remembered to mask his warp trail::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::frowns as she picks up a bio-reading ... a strange microbe::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: Not all metals, but several of the more common base metals.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Sighs::  Andzi: if this does not work, it will all be for nothing.

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  ::detects the ship's engines failing::  AXO: Cmdr, the vessel is slowing...

Host CO_Zax says:
@::looks at O'Dunn:: CSO: Could it be the same substance?

aXO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Really?  Can you identify the vessel?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: Seems a bit too coincidental otherwise.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*AXO*:  Engineering to Bridge.  We have another problem ... we have what appears to be a microbe infestation in the warp engines ...

Andzi_Reb says:
@::smiles:: Gov: Oh, don't worry sir. I have it all under control.....it will work. ::grins, trying to hide her malice::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  Acknowledged.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@Andzi:  soon....

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  Engineering reports a microbe infestation in the warp engines.

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  AXO: attempting now Cmdr  ::begins matching ion trail and engine signature with Fed database::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*EO*:  Can you clean it up?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@CO: It makes me wonder about the cargo we....EEP!

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM: Pen: Beam the CSO back immediately with T'Rget. We need answers.

Host CO_Zax says:
@CSO: eeep?

EO_Pettigrove says:
*AXO*:  Unknown ... we don't even know what these microbes are ... or what it will take to clean them out.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::runs additional tricorder scans ... attempting to identify the microbes::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CSO/TO2:  Prepare to transport back to the ship.

Bilbo says:
#:: realigns the warp containment field but is still losing  speed down to warp 6::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
@::reddens:: CO: Sorry...I think the microbes work a little faster than I thought. ::squirms to adjust a couple of articles of clothing::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Looks around at the clean plates:: Gov/Table: Ready for dessert?

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Beam the CSO and TO2 directly to engineering.

Host CO_Zax says:
::curse under her breath:: COMM:Pen: Recall all personnel back to the ship.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*AXO*:  All I can tell you is that they are doing damage to the engines.

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  AXO: Cmdr, the vessel is masking its signature... not very well, but it is not a standard issue vessel.  Appears to have been pieced together....

Host Gov_Tau says:
@Andzi:  A good idea.

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  Understood Sir.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::strides back into the room:: CEO: Get back to the ship immediately.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Stands up::  CO:  You are leaving?

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: blinks :: CO: Gladly... I mean yes Captain. :: stands ::

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: Just what in the name of Demran is going on around here? What was in that shipment?

Andzi_Reb says:
@Gov: I'll alert the chefs. ::Gets up and goes to the kitchen::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<OPS X>  ::transports the CSO and TO2 back to the ship::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  Shipment?  Why... nothing that should concern you, honest.

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Prepare to transport the remaining members of the AT.

Bilbo says:
#:: Grumbles a few choice Yridian phrases, as she slows to warp 5.::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hears the CO and hurries out of the room::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::barely finishes materializing before dashing off for the cargo bay:: *AXO*: Sir, if you don't mind I'm going to run some scans in the cargo bay.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::eyes the man narrowly:: Tau: Your "shipment" is destroying my warp core. You have 30 microns to explain.

aXO_Kyrron says:
*CSO*:  Please do.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  But... but... that is not possible.  There was only... :Stops::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  AT:  Prepare to return to the ship.

CEO_M`Tor says:
@ :: taps commbadge :: aXO: M'Tor to Pendragon... the Captain has ordered me to return...Energize when convenient.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::Tau: Continue.......

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Once she is out of the room, runs to her office::

FCO_Rofax says:
@ ::chases after Andzi::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<OPS X> ::initiates transport of the CEO::

MO_Torek says:
@::wonders where everyone went::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hears someone following her, and runs even faster to her office::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the lift, analyzing data on the microbes::

FCO_Rofax says:
@ ::removes his machete and flicks it into place::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  CO:  We are ready to beam you back on your order, Sir.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  It is a highly explosive material that is outlawed in general.  But it is the only thing that will kill the annoying microbes of this planet.  We received special permission from the federation council to use it.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::  ~~~ begins tracking Andzi, knowing she is guilty of something ~~~ ::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Arrives in her office and sits in her comfy chair, pretending to be going over papers::

TO2_Trget says:
::heads to Engineering as he thinks the beautiful redhead went that way::

Host CO_Zax says:
@;;taps her badge:: COMM:Pendragon: I want a full security detail down here immediately to escort the governor and his aids back to the ship. When the crew has all returned , we're following that ship. ::eyes Tau:: If we die, so does he.

Bilbo says:
#:: Begins to throw things around the cockpit as she slows to warp 3.5, despite her best efforts at boosting power. ::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: materializes on the Pendragon platform and sighs :: Self; Finally. *EO* Pettigrove... The Captain has ordered my return.. is there something wrong... :: moves towards the turbolift ::

MO_Torek says:
@COM: AXO: One to beam directly to Sickbay.

Host CO_Zax says:
:@Tau: Just who on the council granted permission?

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Gasps::  CO:  You can't just take me.  I have done nothing.  As for the cargo, you may see all the papers are in order.

aXO_Kyrron says:
::is confused::  COMM:  CO:  I'll prepare a team sir.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ~~~ ::singsong::  Andzi: Come out, come out wherever you are.... ~~~

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Beam the MO directly to sickbay and a security team to the Captain's position.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Sir, we have unknown microbes in the warp drive.  They seem to be eating sections of the core.  We can't identify them and we don't know how to remove them.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  If you will follow me, I will show you all the information you will need.

aXO_Kyrron says:
<OPS X>: ::transports the MO to sickbay::

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: You'll bring the papers here. You have two minutes.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::arrives at the cargo bay::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<security team> ::arrives in Transporter room 1::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hears something in her head:: ~~~~~FCO: I am telepathic, also. What do you want from me?~~~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pen: Any progress, Number One?

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::removes tricorder and scans, then clutches the Pendant while he continues to ~~~scan~~~ for her::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks :: *EO*: I'm on my way.. :: begins to run :: Self: Eating the warp drive... what now ?

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Eyes the captain sadly, it had been going so well, then turns to get the papers.::

Bilbo says:
#: Barely puts along at warp 2 screaming curses and breaking things as she heads for the engine to try and diagnose the problem.::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns, finding no microbes:: SELF: They didn't come with the cargo...

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hides the papers regarding the illegal cargo transport in her desk::

Host CO_Zax says:
@::a few seconds later looks over the papers and finds them in order::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::goes back to scanning the microbes ... ::

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: Who was in charge of the transport?

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ~~~ Andzi: Care to explain yourself?  I am sure running from the room will only make it worse. ~~~

MO_Torek says:
::goes into his office to work on medical records::

CEO_M`Tor says:
*EO* Have you tried just transporting these things off ? :: still running ::

aXO_Kyrron says:
@<security team possibly lead by McCloud materializes near the captain::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Chief, we need to run a diagnostic on the planetary sensors.

Andzi_Reb says:
@~~~~~~FCO: I do not know what you are talking about.......I just feel guilty because there are some late papers that I forgot to file.....the governor would be mad if he found out.~~~~~

Bilbo says:
#:: scans her engines and finds some kind of microbe replicating at an alarming rate in her warp core.::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  That I don't know.  I was only told that you would be bringing it.  My aide handled most of it.

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: Which Aide?

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ~~~ Andzi: Then you will not mind explaining that to Captain Zax....   ::continues ~~~searching for her~~~  ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Sir, these things are so small I doubt the transporters would be able to lock onto them.  But we may be able to remove the affected sections ...

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  Why the one who was with us for dinner, Andzi Reb.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::slaps her badge again:: *FCO*: Your location, Lt? I need to locate and detain Andzi Reb.

Andzi_Reb says:
@~~~~FCO: Well, um.......certainly......just let me finish my paperwork....~~~~~ ::intends to call for her emergency shuttle and get the hell out of there::

Bilbo says:
#:: floods the warp chamber with gamma radiation in hopes of eradicating the microbes.::

TO2_Trget says:
@::stands near the CO as part of the security team::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: enters in Main Engineering in a jog still wearing his dress uniform :: EO: Good idea... let us try.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns:: *CEO*: Chief?

Host CO_Zax says:
@::looks at the Sec team:: Sec: Find that woman immediately!

FCO_Rofax says:
@  *CO*  Captain, I have tracked her to a hallway with several doors... I am continuing my search.    ::explains where he is at in relation to the dining area::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  What is going on?

aXO_Kyrron says:
@<Security team>::runs off in all directions scanning madly::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Hears the CO and is alarmed:: *Emergency Shuttle*: I need to get out of here. How fast can you be ready?

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I'll go to Transporter Room 2.  I'll lock onto the affected area and beam it to one of the cargo bays, in containment, for analysis.

Host CO_Zax says:
@*FCO*: Be careful, but we need her. I'm sending security to meet you. ::nods at the team::

Bilbo says:
#:: rescans the warp core, seeing there are no improvements in microbe replication, she switches to delta radiation.::

TO2_Trget says:
@::draws weapon and follows the FCO's directions::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
COMPUTER: Computer, locate Chief M`Tor.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@<Shuttle> Andzi:  We are having problems sir.

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CSO* Yes Lt... can I help you ? EO: I get the parts we need for what we beam off :: moves to the main status display ::

FCO_Rofax says:
@  :: ~~~ clutches his Pendant and searches for Andzi's location yet again, forgetting all other matters~~~ - does not hear the CO ::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
COMPUTER: Cancel that.

aXO_Kyrron says:
@<rest of security team>  ::closes in on the location::

Host Gov_Tau says:
<Computer> The CEO is down in main.... ::Stops::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: We need to run a diagnostic on the planetary sensors.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::leaves ME and enters TL::: Computer:  Transporter Room 2

MO_Torek says:
::notices he has a surgery scheduled day after tomorrow, makes notes for that::

Andzi_Reb says:
@Shuttle: Well hurry up, darn it!!!

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: It appears your Aide has brought something else on board. She will be placed under arrest under Section 23r45tb of the SFC law prohibiting smuggling.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@<Shuttle> Andzi:  we are trying ma'am.

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: You will, of course, be able to file a formal protest.

TO2_Trget says:
@::with the rest of the security team converges on the FCO's location::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  What?  ::Looks concerned and dashes off, mumbling,::  Nooo....

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: frowns :: *CSO* And I have something eating my warp core... How can I help Lt ?

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Is alarmed and tries to look innocent, doing paperwork::

Host CO_Zax says:
@:;watches him and frowns::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*CEO*:  Report please.

aXO_Kyrron says:
*CSO*:  What's going on, Lt?

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::heads down for the cargo area::

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::eyes SEC team and points to a door::  TO: There!!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Eating....? We found a microbe on the surface that didn't show up in our initial scans.

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pen: AXO: I want the Governor brought in for questioning as well.

TO2_Trget says:
@::runs and flings the door open, weapon drawn::

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::draws machete and passes through the doorway::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*aXO*: I just heard the warp core's being eaten. Now I'm trying to figure out why we missed these microbes in our scans.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::arrives at the TR, moves over to the console and attempts to lock onto the affected area of the warp core::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Stops in the empty room::  Noooo... it can't be.  We will be ruined...

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks :: *CSO*  I would think that they are related.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Gasps and looks at the door::

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Get a transporter lock on the Governor.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Considering that they eat metal, I'm not surprised. I didn't know there were any on board.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Heads back for the captain::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  Captain...

TO2_Trget says:
@::runs into the room like a fool::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::continues trotting toward ME::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at the main status display and picks up the parts that will be transported away :: *CSO* I only found out when I came aboard.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::looks at him:: Tau: Governor Tau.........

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::closes on Andzi, breathing wickedly::   ~~~ Andzi: Feelin' froggy?~~~  ::raises the machete::

Bilbo says:
#:: Scans the microbes for genus and species and sets the computer to finding an appropriate pesticide.::

CEO_M`Tor says:
*CSO* We are preparing to transport the affected parts to the Cargo Bay in the containment field.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: But how did they get here? They were on the planet, and the biofilters caught them when I came back up....

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  The cargo is gone.  You must get it back... not only is it very dangerous, it is the only thing that we have found that will kill the mebites.

Andzi_Reb says:
@~~~~~FCO: Froggy? Excuse me? I'm just finishing paperwork....~~~~~~

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

EO_Pettigrove says:
::locks onto the affected areas:: *CEO*:  Pettigrove to M'Tor.  I'm ready to transport.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Gets out her phaser, just in case::

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: Mebites?

CEO_M`Tor says:
*EO* Get them off my engines Lt... at your convenience.. I'll repair the damage.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  I'll set up a containment area in Cargo Bay 2.

Bilbo says:
#:: The computer beeps with a formula that should kill the microbes and Bilbo  transports it into the warp chamber and monitors its effectiveness.::

CEO_M`Tor says:
*EO* Acknowledged. Proceed.

TO2_Trget says:
@::stumbles around making lots of noise looking for the woman::

FCO_Rofax says:
@  COMM: AXO: Lock onto my location and beam all persons directly to the brig.  I have located one of the conspirators, Cmdr....

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::waves hands::  CO: The annoying pests that keep eating various base metals around here.

EO_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Energizing ::Initiates transport::

aXO_Kyrron says:
COMM:  FCO:  Acknowledged.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*CEO*: It just occurred to me...microbes of this type target their metals based on outer valences. Maybe ionizing the affected areas will make them "lose their appetite"?

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Clutches her phaser and turns in the direction of the TO in the next room::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The material is beamed into space.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::looks at him narrowly::

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  lock on to everyone in the FCO's vicinity.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Runs next door and sees Trget::

Host Gov_Tau says:
@CO:  Please, it was all approved.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::waits for the phaser fire to stop and dives onto Andzi, machete against her throat::

aXO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  and beam nonpersonnel to the brig

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pendragon:CSO: Look in the ship's computer for a microbe named "mebites". Lt.

Andzi_Reb says:
@TO: GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!! ::Shoots at the TO::

TO2_Trget says:
@::screams::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Gasps as she feels the machete::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
COMM: CO: Right away. ::does just that at the nearest panel::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The FCO holds the aide in a death grip.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  Andzi: I highly suggest you drop that phaser.  ~~~ ::tries to convince her to give up:: ~~~

Andzi_Reb says:
@~~~~~FCO: Ha.~~~~~~~

EO_Pettigrove says:
::leaves TR2 and makes her way back to ME::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<OPS X>  ::initiates transport of the FCO and his captive::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Feels her elbow is free and hits the FCO in the groin::

Bilbo says:
#:: Sighs as the pesticides do not work at eliminating the microbes.::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: frowns ::CSO: They were transported off the engines... I'll be repairing the damage now. Is there anything else ?

Host CO_Zax says:
@Tau: Transfer all data on the Mebites to the ship's computer. You're off the hook for now, but this is far from over.

Host CO_Zax says:
@::strides off::

Host CO_Zax says:
@COMM:Pen: One to beam up.

Host Gov_Tau says:
@::Sighs, nodding sadly and goes to get the information.::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The captain is beamed aboard.

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::falls and the machete hits against her throat, making a hairline incision as he falls::

TO2_Trget says:
@<rest of the security team>::fires phasers at Andzi::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::arrives back in ME, grabs a tricorder and heads to the affected area::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::enters ME:: CEO: We still should run that diagnostic.

Andzi_Reb says:
@Out loud: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO2_Trget says:
@::picks himself up off the floor and checks to see if he's been wounded::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at her PADD:: SELF: Oh, that's just great.

Bilbo says:
#:: Consults the database for similar microbes and what kills them.::

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Feels the machete hit her throat::

FCO_Rofax says:
@  ::doubled over in pain, flails wildly at Andzi arm with the machete::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: walks back to the Main Status Display :: CSO: Of course... but knowing Pettigrove we got them all... she got more metal then microbes I'll wager.

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The machete slices through Andzi's leg.

aXO_Kyrron says:
<OPS X>::attempts the transport again::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The FCO and Andzi are beamed aboard.

Andzi_Reb says:
@::Screams again:: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

EO_Pettigrove says:
::overhears the CEO and grins::

Bilbo says:
#:: finds Bilirium crystals kill this microbe though it is highly volatile and explosive.::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<security guy>::rushes over and holds Andzi::

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at the Main Status display looking to see if there any microbes left ::

FCO_Rofax says:
::feels himself materialize, however the pain isn't going away just yet::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CEO: Yes, but the microbes weren't detected before. Something's wrong with the sensors. ::frowns again, looking at the PADD:: I don't suppose we have any buriliite on board.

Host CO_Zax says:
::arrives on the bridge::

TO2_Trget says:
::materializes back on the Pendragon with the rest of the security team::

CEO_M`Tor says:
CSO: I am uncertain if we do.

Andzi_Reb says:
::Is in some serious pain::

Bilbo says:
#:: heads for the replicator and manufactures some bilirium powder.::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The governor sends all the information aboard.

Host CO_Zax says:
AXO: Report?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: CEO: Because that's supposedly the only thing that will kill the microbes.

FCO_Rofax says:
::writhes around the ground in pain, ready to cut off Andzi's legs::

Bilbo says:
#:: Picks up the powder, and heads back to the warp core.::

EO_Pettigrove says:
::can't detect any more microbes with a tricorder scan ... moves over to the CEO and CSO::

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Just a moment, Sir.  *CEO*:  What's the situation down there?

Andzi_Reb says:
::Despite the pain, flails her arms and legs out, trying to hit the Security Team::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<security team>  ::wrestles Andzi toward the brig::

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Tricorder scans are clean.  I think we got them all, Sir ::grins::

TO2_Trget says:
*MO*:  Medical emergency in transporter room 1

CEO_M`Tor says:
CSO: Interesting... contact Operations perhaps they have some.. *aXO* Commander, we transported the microbes off the engines Lt Pettigrove scans show a clean engine. I am completing repairs and attempting to restart.

MO_Torek says:
::grabs his med tricorder::*TO2*: On my way.

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  It sounds like they have things under control in Engineering sir.

Andzi_Reb says:
::Is unconscious from the pain::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
*OPS*: Do you know if we have any buriliite on board?

FCO_Rofax says:
::makes his way onto his knees, breathing slowly::

aXO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Run internal scans to see if any more of those microbes are on board::

Bilbo says:
#:: Transport the bilirium powder into the warp chamber and runs for cover.::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: AXO: Excellent job, Tria. Can we pursue the other vessel?

TO_McCloud says:
aXO: Yes, sir. ::does so...::

aXO_Kyrron says:
<security team>:  Deposits Andzi in the brig and calls for a medic::

MO_Torek says:
::enters TR1, walking over to the injured::

aXO_Kyrron says:
*CEO*:  When will warp engines be back on line?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around:: FCO: Intercept course, maximum warp when able.

Andzi_Reb says:
::Falls limply into the brig::

MO_Torek says:
::scans the FCO::

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Impulse engines are on-line... might take us a while, though.

CEO_M`Tor says:
*aXO* Soon Commander, Attempting a re-start now :: restarts engines  ::

EO_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  We have impulse only at this stage ...

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  CO: Aye Captain!  ::plots course and engages impulse engines::

MO_Torek says:
::a Medic arrives in the brig::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  The ship goes to impulse only.

MO_Torek says:
FCO: We need to get you to Sickbay.

Bilbo says:
#:: notes the microbes are gone, and reinitializes the warp field.::

Host CO_Zax says:
::sighs:: FCO: Full impulse until able.

CEO_M`Tor says:
:: shakes head :: *aXO* Impulse only for now Commander. It will take a few hours for warp

FCO_Rofax says:
::nods to MO::

Host CO_Zax says:
AXO: Would you care to interview our "guest", Tria?

MO_Torek says:
::the medic nods to the Security Officer to let him in the cell::

aXO_Kyrron says:
CO:  It will be a few hours before we have warp.  We could send a shuttle, Sir.  ::heads toward the TL::

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  CO: Aye Captain....  ::works from console to assist in getting warp back on-line::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::starts a sensor diagnostic herself, since the CEO seems to be a bit busy::

MO_Torek says:
*OPS*: Two for site-to-site transport to Sickbay.

Host CO_Zax says:
::watches her AXO depart with a satisfied smile::

FCO_Rofax says:
::limps his way to sickbay::

Host Gov_Tau says:
ACTION:  Bilbo's ship can go to a limping, 1/4 impulse.

FCO_Rofax says:
<FCO Mergatroid>  CO: Captain, we are closing, albeit slowly... the vessel's speed is 1/4 impulse.. ETA to the vessel is 10 minutes, Captain...

Andzi_Reb says:
::Comes to:: Brig Attendant: What happened? Get me out of here!!! ::curses and uses numerous vulgar phrases::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Notify SFC of our heading and situation.
