U.S.S. Pendragon

10208.31

Guest Stars:
Arlene as Melody
Sergio as Moru_Krisal

Host Gilthanas says:
Synopsis:  Things are a bit uneasy on the ship as they take the two royal delegates back to Deloran IV.  The FCO is acting out of character.  Enough so, that the captain has placed him into the hands of the CSO who has been trying to 'retrain' him through exhaustion and meditation.

The captain has found the gift of a tribble on her pillow placed there by the unknown, but intended to bring a smile to the captains' face.

Tactical along with the rest of the crew are keeping a wary eye out.  Not just because of the captains chewing them out, but because of the strangeness they sense is going on, and not understanding what.  Not to mention in mission like this, anything is possible.

FCO: I'm on my way, Will.

XO: He is in the TL. On his way up Ma'am

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Tried the conventional methods, but when it failed went to more unconventional methods.

FCO_King says:
~~~Melody:: We're leaving. Wait for me.~~~

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Thanks.  When he gets here escort him to the CO's ready room.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Aye.

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  Hmmm, ::nods his head:: I see, well what is it that you think will help your stress level?  Do you need leave?

Host Zax says:
::hands Tria Fuzzy as she leaves the bridge::

Moru_Krisal says:
::as the TL doors open, he enters the bridge, and looks around for the Captain::

Host Zax says:
::enters her RR::

Melody says:
::Panics::  ~~~FCO:  Leaving?~~~~  ::Becomes concerned momentarily for Moru, is torn between duty and this man who makes her toes tingle.::

TO_Choi says:
Moru: Right this way, Sir

TO_Choi says:
::Leads Moru to the CO's RR::

FCO_King says:
::gets up and takes communicator off, then heads to the door::

XO_Kyrron says:
::takes Fuzzy and instantly sneezes::

FCO_King says:
::sticks head out of the door, looking around::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the ship passes the first planet in the system, a brief energy surge occurs.

XO_Kyrron says:
::sets Fuzzy in the Captain's chair and hopes no one sits on it.

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Leave? Can't. Crew depends on a good counselor.

Moru_Krisal says:
::follows the TO::

XO_Kyrron says:
::sees the lights flicker::

TO_Choi says:
::rings the door chime::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::starts analyzing the energy surge::

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO: What was that?

FCO_King says:
::dashes down the hall to a Jeffries tube as the lights flicker a bit::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Checking.

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  Shore leave Ensign, everyone needs R&R, even Counselors

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Self:  That's odd.  ::checks::  CSO:  That was an energy surge, Sir.  Trying to identify a source.

Melody says:
::Runs out of the room in a slight Panic.  Rushing into the hallway she looks left then right.::  Self:  What is that man up to?  What does he mean leaving ?

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Most of my shore leave is used to help people.

FCO_King says:
::crawls into the Jeffries tube, and access an interface conduit:: Computer: Computer, run a level 1 diagnostic on the internal sensors on this deck all the way to Deck 5

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::looks alarmed:: XO: That was a transporter pattern!

Melody says:
<Guards>  ::Run after Melody::

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  What?

Host Zax says:
::looks up:: All: Come in!

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Cut power to all transporters!

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: A transporter beam! Recommend internal alert.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Aye. ::cuts transporter power::

SO_Hull says:
CNS:  Counselor, you showing all the textbook symptoms of exhaustion and being overly duty bound.  When was your last leave?

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  You heard the woman!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::detects something unusual:: XO:  Commander, someone is running a level 1 diagnostic!

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Lock down everything.

TO_Choi says:
::Enters, motioning for Moru to follow::

Host Zax says:
::hears the alert and frowns::

Host Karriaunna says:
<Computer> FCO:  Level one diagnostics currently running.

Host Zax says:
*XO*: Problem, Number One?

FCO_King says:
::thinks:: Self: YES!

TO_Choi says:
CO: Sorry Ma'am ::Dashes back to Tac1

XO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  Something is going on Sir.  We're not sure what.

FCO_King says:
::crawls in to the tube and makes way to deck 5::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
TACTICAL: Security teams, secure the shuttle bays...potential intruder alert.

Host Zax says:
*XO*: Whereabouts of the Royals? This could be an assassination attempt.

TO_Choi says:
::reaches behind the console, grabbing a stashed Phaser::

Melody says:
::Sees that the hallway is empty.  Maybe she misunderstood King.  Turning around she re-enters her quarters followed by security.::

Moru_Krisal says:
::follows Choi in: CO : I am safe, Captain..

Host Zax says:
::sees Moru:: *XO*: Moru is with me.

XO_Kyrron says:
::checks internal sensors::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Errr, yes, I ordered tacops to run that.

XO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  Melody briefly left her room but is returning.

FCO_King says:
::looks down through a circulation grill over deck 5 to see it relatively docile::

Moru_Krisal says:
::ignores the alarms going on around him:: CO : Captain...

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Before this assignment, on Starbase 78 before the transfer to the Pendragon.

TO_Choi says:
XO: Attempting systems lock out.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  No, Sir.  This was started only a moment ago.

XO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Get down to the princess's quarters.

Host Zax says:
*XO*: Full security lock down.  Keep me posted.

Moru_Krisal says:
::turns to his guard:: Guardian : I wish to speak to the Captain... Alone...

FCO_King says:
::hops down out of the access and heads for the Auxiliary Control Room::

SO_Hull says:
CNS:  And how long ago was that?  ::looks up at the overhead as the light begins to flicker::

TO_Choi says:
XO: Got it.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Tricky...since the ship can't run two diagnostics on the same system simultaneously.

TO_Choi says:
::Dashes to the TL::

Host Zax says:
::smiles at Moru:: Moru: My apologies. Please be seated. ::motions to a comfortable chair and takes one herself::

FCO_King says:
::enters Aux Control::

TO_Choi says:
::Arrives and exits::

Moru_Krisal says:
::waits until the guardian reluctantly exits the room::

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Ignores the lights:: MO: A long time ago.

Melody says:
::Goes to the sofa and sits down her hands in her lap furiously twitching her eyes darting back and forth.::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::decides to check on the FCO, since transporters are offline and he's not in sight::

TO_Choi says:
::Jogs into the princess's quarters::

SO_Hull says:
CNS: ::makes a note to order shore leave for the Counselor::  How about your Chain-of-Command, get along with your superiors?

FCO_King says:
::in Aux control:: Computer: Computer. Seal all entrances to Aux Control.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO: Commander, this is interesting.

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  What's that?

FCO_King says:
::walks over to the engineering station::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Auxiliary control room is sealed.

XO_Kyrron says:
::locks down all systems::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: According to internal sensors, King is in his quarters...but I'm reading his DNA pattern near auxiliary control.

Melody says:
::Startled as a strange man enters her rooms.:: TO:  What is the meaning of this ?

Moru_Krisal says:
CO : TO be blunt, Captain... I no longer wish to marry Melody..

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Get security down there, and a forcefield around him.

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Laughs:: MO: Honestly I really try to get along with them, but the Captain frowns to much, and I think I hit a sour note with the XO.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::nods, notifying security accordingly::

Host Karriaunna says:
<Computer> TO:  Melody is in her bedroom.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Do an internal scan for King and the princess.  DNA only.

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  This recent history?  Or something that has festered?

FCO_King says:
::begins to tap in commands feeding fake data monitoring systems on Internal sensors, Aux Control, and transporter systems::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Aye, Sir. ::runs the scan::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Sensors on deck 5 on down disengage for the diagnostics.

Host Zax says:
Moru: I am...surprised.

TO_Choi says:
Melody: Sorry Princess... There is a possible intruder alert.

Host Zax says:
Moru: What seems to be the problem?

Melody says:
TO:  Intruder ?

FCO_King says:
::begins to feed data from his PADD to the engineering station::

TO_Choi says:
Melody: Yes.. I'm not too sure on the situation

FCO_King says:
Computer:: Computer, Verify data upload....

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  An energy source is picked up, just outside of the bridge.

Melody says:
TO:  Please find out and find out if Moru is ok.

TO_Choi says:
*XO* Melody is safe, Commander.

TO_Choi says:
Melody: He is fine... I just escorted him to the bridge.

Melody says:
::Not only is she worried about King and his plans.  She is worried about Moru.::

Host Karriaunna says:
<COMPUTER>: FCO:  Data uploaded.

XO_Kyrron says:
*TO*:  Stay with her until ordered otherwise.

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Can you get a transporter lock on King?

TO_Choi says:
*XO* Understood

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs:: XO: Another energy surge.

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Not another transporter?

TO_Choi says:
::Locks the door::

Moru_Krisal says:
Moru : Merely that I do not feel that Melody would be wife to me... ::shakes head:: But that's beside the point.. Captain.. As soon as I announce my intention of not going through with the marriage, I will be forced upon it nonetheless... There are laws in my world that permit this... But I cannot go through with it now...

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO:  To be honest my research showed that this ship was happy, happy, joy, joy.

FCO_King says:
::gets up from the chair and accesses a Jeffries tube within aux control headed for Deck 10::

XO_Kyrron says:
*CO*:  We have a situation here Sir.  Please report to the bridge.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: Not.

Host Zax says:
*XO*: On my way.

Host Zax says:
Moru: Stay here, please. I will be right back, I promise. ::pats his hand::

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  Well what about the Captain, there is an issue with her, is there not?

Moru_Krisal says:
CO : So, Captain, I stand here requesting political asylum from the United Federation of Planets..

Host Zax says:
XO: Report!

Host Zax says:
::is back on the bridge::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  We are experiencing strange energy surges.  And King is not where he is supposed to be.

FCO_King says:
::arrives at deck 10 to see it crawling with security:: Self: Crap... They must have spotted something....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to get a lock:: XO:  Sir, I can't get a lock.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The doors to the bridge seal themselves shut.

CNS_Hollywood says:
MO: Yes there is.  She has a kid that picks on me.

TO_Choi says:
Melody: I have been ordered to stay with you until told otherwise.

XO_Kyrron says:
*shipwide*:  Intruder alert!

Moru_Krisal says:
::sighs, but stays inside... now that he is alone, tears start flowing...::

Host Zax says:
XO: Get Moru in here.

Melody says:
::With worry in her eyes she can only nod at the TO.  Her Guardian is keeping a close eye on the TO.::

Host Zax says:
XO: And King?

XO_Kyrron says:
*Engineering*:  Emergency on the bridge.  The doors are locked.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I recommend red alert until we figure out what's going on.

Host Zax says:
CSO: Red alert.

FCO_King says:
::crawls back into Jeffries tube::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
::activates red alert::

TO_Choi says:
::Stands by the door::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Another power surge is registering on the outer hull of the bridge.

XO_Kyrron says:
*TO*:  We are having problems on the bridge.  Try to locate King.

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  ::REB::  A child that picks on you?  Why does that bother you?

Host Zax says:
CSO: Find out what the hell is landing on my ship!

TO_Choi says:
*XO* Understood

TO_Choi says:
::Looks around for a computer panel::

FCO_King says:
::crawls around to get to the back of the shuttle bay, where POSSIBLY no one will see him::

TO_Choi says:
::Finds one beside the bed::

SO_Hull says:
::Hears the Red Alert Klaxon and jumps to his feet and gets into uniform::

TO_Choi says:
*COMPUTER* Locate Ensign King

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: It's...a bomb.

FCO_King says:
::hears the red alert klaxon:: Self: Man! This is NOT good.....

Melody says:
TO:  What is that....  The loud noise and red flashing lights.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to locate King and get a lock::

Host Zax says:
::raises a brow:: CSO: A bomb. How original.

XO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  A bomb where exactly?

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Stands up to the sound of red alert:: MO: He's special.  He flings me up to the ceiling. ::Taps his Combadge:: *Bridge*: This is Counselor Hollywood, is everything alright, up there?

Host Zax says:
CSO: Can you disarm remotely?

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Yes. XO: Right over our heads.

XO_Kyrron says:
::looks up::

FCO_King says:
::climbs down right to the Shuttlebay access point being extra quiet::

TO_Choi says:
Melody: It's the ship switching to red alert, Nothing to worry about... ::speaks quietly:: Self: Yet..

FCO_King says:
::sneaks over to one of the type 6 shuttles::

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  I suggest we evacuate the bridge.

CSO_O`Dunn says:
CO: No.

Host Zax says:
OPS: Transport Moru to sickbay.

Melody says:
TO:  If there is nothing to worry about then why have red alert.  ::Starts to hyperventilate.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::locks onto Moru and transports him to Sickbay::

XO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Can you beam everyone off the bridge?

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  Counselor, please be seated, your relieved of duty, we have business to discuss :: invites him to sit in his chair::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
XO: With the only exit sealed and locked, that may be tricky.

TO_Choi says:
::Walks to her:: Melody: Are you ok, Your safe in here.. Don't worry

FCO_King says:
::gains access to the shuttle bay via an emergency hatch::

Host Zax says:
OPS: Beam out non-essential personnel.

CNS_Hollywood says:
::Sits:: MO: You are right.

XO_Kyrron says:
CO:  Everyone must get off the bridge.  Now!

TO_Choi says:
*Bridge* What's going on up there?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Checking.  ::locks onto non-essential personnel and beams them to the Lounge::

Melody says:
TO:  I.......I......I....... ::Breathing becomes even more erratic.::

FCO_King says:
::crawls in and starts to tap in some commands at an auxiliary station in the shuttle::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The power surge is close to reaching critical

MO_Casey says:
CNS:  So the Captain's child literally flings you up to the ceiling? 

CSO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: To heck with this. ::grabs a phaser and vaporizes the lift doors::

Moru_Krisal says:
::materializes in Sickbay:: All : What the frey?

TO_Choi says:
*Bridge* We may have a medical alert on our hands down here!!

Host Zax says:
::nods::

CSO_O`Dunn says:
ALL: Into the shaft!

XO_Kyrron says:
*TO*:  We have a bomb and are evacuating the bridge.  Find King.

Host Zax says:
