Captain's Log - SD 10402.21

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! 
It's off to guano land we go!
da doo doo doo... da da doo doo doo...
Hi Ho! Hi Ho! Hi Ho!

Host CO_Rofax says:
Captain's Log - SD 10402.21

What started as a simple mission has turned into yet another challenging test.  We are struggling to just make it to the bottom at this point and somehow have seemed to invent a number of difficulties.  Each step brings us closer to the bottom, but closer to what else is what concerns me.

CSO_Toms says:
::stuck in hole::

CNS_Luchena says:
#::heading down the path carefully::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::desperately trying to help the XO while waiting::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::twitches while unconscious, his arm like a lead weight on his shoulder::

CTO_Shiar says:
#:: following Mikal with phaser drawn::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The Captain's team is frantically working to get Tom's up in one piece.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::helps out where he can::

CNS_Luchena says:
#MO/CTO:  Careful.  ::shines his light on the path ahead::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CNS, MO, and CTO are still rushing to Jordan and the XO's aid.

MO_Murphy says:
#::Stays in the back, clutching her med pack to her chest::

CTO_Shiar says:
#:: keeps an eye out::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The XO continues to drip and snarl, when he comes to for a bit, only to drop off again almost immediately.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::backs off ... clearly frightened now::

CNS_Luchena says:
#::still rushing down the path::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The scales have now encased his entire arm. His eyes have turned a deep golden color, with long, slit like pupils.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::the corner of his lip twitches as he snarls quietly before falling under again::

CTO_Shiar says:
#:: still following::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::glances around for a suitable place to place the CSO when they do manage to get him up::

CNS_Luchena says:
#~~~OPS:  We're coming, Jordan.~~~

Host Aradapia says:
Action: As his mouth falls open, the OPS is horrified to see that his teeth have elongated and sharpened.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::backs off even further ... one doesn't have to be an empath to know she is VERY frightened::

MO_Murphy says:
#Self: come out come out where ever you are...

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The XO comes fully awake.

CNS_Luchena says:
#CTO:  Did you feel that?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Captain... if I can get down to Mr. Toms, I can slave his PTN to mine and beam us both out.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::picks up the pace::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::notices the XO is awake:: XO:  Sir?  ::backs off::

CTO_Shiar says:
#CNS: feel what?  :: goes faster to keep up with Mikal::

Host CO_Rofax says:
CEO: Let's go.... I'm coming with you...  ::tosses a rope over the side and begins down, phaser ready::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::opens his eyes with a quiet snarl, tapering off into a groan:: OPS: Oh my head...the pain...

CNS_Luchena says:
#CTO:  Jordan.  She's very frightened.  ::keeps moving as fast as he can::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Mikal reaches the far edge of the natural bridge.

MO_Murphy says:
#CNS: How far are we ya think?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Yes, sir.  :: follows the Captain into the crevasse ::

CNS_Luchena says:
#::shines his light forward::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@XO:  You have an unknown organism in your body.  Tell me what I have to do ...

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The FCO stumbles to his feet as he tries to help the CEO rescue Toms.

CTO_Shiar says:
#CNS: in that case, no I didn't

CNS_Luchena says:
#MO:  Nearly there I think.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@OPS: Help...help me stand..::twitches and shudders, moaning quietly at the shattering pain which is thankfully starting to fade::

MO_Murphy says:
#:: Gets her med kit ready:: CNS: what should I be expecting

CNS_Luchena says:
#::cautiously steps onto the bridge::  MO:  Something horrifying I would imagine

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@XO:  I don't think that's a good idea.  Something is transforming your body.

CTO_Shiar says:
#:: carefully walks onto the bridge::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::is quietly thinking about shuttles and trying to figure out which he likes the best::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
FCO: Mr. White... go to the sled, get the three pattern enhancers I packed, and set them up in the usual triad formation, please.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::yells out::  OPS:  Jordan!  Can you hear me?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@XO:  Movement could quicken the transformation process.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Mikal's team reaches the edge of the bridge, where they can see the XO and OPS on the other side.

Host CO_Rofax says:
CSO: Edward?  ::shines his light down on the area::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: shines his own light downward, looking for Toms ::

MO_Murphy says:
#CNS: Not the medical words I was expecting

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::yells:: CNS:  I hear you, over here!  But be careful ... something is on that bridge.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::Glances at the CEO:: CEO: On my way.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::shakes his head and slowly tries to get to his feet:: OPS: I can see I'm changing, Ms. Pettigrove...

Host CO_Rofax says:
::eases down slowly, trying not to startle him any further::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO/MO: There they are!  ::cautiously proceeds::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::walks quickly to the grav sled and begins taking out pattern enhancers::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: sets phaser to full stun and slowly starts to cross::

CSO_Toms says:
::blinks at the light, but doesn’t answer the calls::

MO_Murphy says:
@::Stays in the behind, watching over there backs::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::shines his light on the XO as they approach::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::pauses::  CEO: Can you transport from this distance?  Or, must we get closer?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: nearly to the bottom... spots Toms in the beam of his wrist light ::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: With the pattern enhancers activated, we should be okay.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::yelling:: CNS: Keep clear of any cracks.  It seems something bit the XO and is transforming him.  The tricorder cannot identify the pathogen.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::gets to his feet, holding back a guttural snarl as he looks down at his scaled arm:: OPS: What happened to me...

CNS_Luchena says:
@::watches for cracks::  OPS:  We have a medical officer with us

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Ah, sorry, Captain... I misunderstood the question. No, I'll have to reach Mr. Toms to slave his PTN to my own.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: stays clear of cracks::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@XO:  You were bitten by some sort of creature.  It injected something into your system that is transforming your body.  The tricorder cannot identify it, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::finally crosses the bridge and approaches the XO and OPS::

MO_Murphy says:
@::Moves up as she hears them talk::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::looks over the bridge and backs off slightly, holding the upper part of his scaled arm:: OPS: I...can't think...My body...::shakes his head and backs up against the wall::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::walks around setting up three of the transporter enhancers::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: continues downward :: CO: Perhaps you had best stay here while I try to reach the CSO, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Commander.  Try to stay still.  ::gestures for the MO to examine him::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@XO:  Relax, Sir.  Help has arrived.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: gets to the other side but doesn't lower the phaser::

Host CO_Rofax says:
CEO: Very well....  ::holds position and locks himself in::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS: Thank goodness you guys are here.

MO_Murphy says:
@CNS: I'm not sure how to say this, but we need to take him down before I go close...to that

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: hits bottom, plays out some slack in his line ::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::levels off his wrist beam and phaser near the ground on the far side of the CSO::

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  Thank goodness you still possess a bit of telepathy.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::shakes his head and back away further:: All: No! Stay way...something's changed...he said, he said something terrible happened...

FCO_Ens_White says:
::activates all three transport enhancers::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@MO:  I do not sense a threat, Doctor.

CSO_Toms says:
::starts to mutter under his breath again, a long low stream of unintelligible garbage to anyone else::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks over at Shiar::  CTO:  Set on minimum stun right?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: approaches CSO slowly :: CSO: Mr. Toms... Edward... it's Thraxis. Do you remember me?

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO: Let me know when you have a positive lock.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Moves out of the way:: CNS: Can we get him to the ship?

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: it's on max at the moment and I don't suggest lowering it much

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS: I didn't know if you heard me or not.  I didn't see what happened.  I sensed his pain, then this ...

CNS_Luchena says:
@MO:  No.  We can't transport from down here.  We have to get him to the bottom and the exit.

CSO_Toms says:
::looks to the CEO, moves head so that his neck cracks loudly, then nods::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::pauses and looks at the crevasse than raises an eyebrow::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Do you have control of yourself?  Our medic needs to examine you.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CSO: Good. We're going to get out of this hole together, Edward. All I need to do is adjust your personal transporter node.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Cringes:: Self: breath,,,

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::looks around and shakes his head, thoughts and images running through his head...blood...slashing...running..."Don't run, Dremel...this is my body too":: All: No...I don’t....I cant...stay back...::snarls a little, letting it turn into a whimper::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::looks at Shiar::  CTO:  Put him out.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS:  He was unconscious for some time.  I thought he was going to die ...

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: lowers the stun setting slightly then fires at the XO::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: stands next to Toms :: CSO: Okay... just let me make a quick adjustment...

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the enhansers::CO: Uh...sir...the enhancers are set up they appear to be working.

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  It will be all right Jordan.  I'm sure Murphy will fix him up.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: slowly reaches for Toms' PTN ::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::whips his head around as the CTO fires, leaping to his left in an attempt to dodge::

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO: Excellent.... stand-by and secure your phaser.

CSO_Toms says:
::does nothing::

MO_Murphy says:
@::Gets a hypo ready, and a tricorder out::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The phaser manages to hit the XO, who falls quickly.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::hands the MO her tricorder:: MO:  I did get some readings that may help.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: He is rolling towards the edge.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::tries to grab the XO before he falls off::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::"Fool..." continues his steady roll towards the abyss::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::dives to grab the XO's legs::

MO_Murphy says:
@::Moves over and runs her tricorder out:: OPS: Can you read me what you found

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: taps Toms' PTN in a coded sequence, slaving it to his own PTN :: CSO: There. All set.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: They manage to grab him before he falls.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@MO:  There is a foreign substance in his system.  The tricorder was unable to identify it.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: watches as the others grab the XO then sets the stun to max again::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::pulls him back a safe distance, then stands well back::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::pulls his handphaser and checks the settings::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::sits down::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~::broadcasts his thoughts hoping Rofax hears him::  CO:  We've found them.~~~

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
All: Transporter activate, home on pattern enhancers!

MO_Murphy says:
@CNS: what next, I can't do much here. ::Tries to see what foreign substance::

CTO_Shiar says:
@OPS: how are you doing?

CNS_Luchena says:
@MO:  Can you cure him or at least stop the progress of this... this.... transformation?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CTO:  I think I'm OK ...

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CEO and CSO are successfully transported back up.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the transporter enhancers and shrugs::self:looks like I did that right.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
FCO: Excellent work, Mr. White. Thank you.

Host CO_Rofax says:
~~~ CNS: Good.  Edward is safe.  ::pauses::  Is he okay? ~~~

MO_Murphy says:
@CNS: Not sure what I am dealing with ::Pumps the XO full of drugs::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::starts deactivating the transporter enhancers and putting them away::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~CO:  No Sir.  The situation is a bit.... desperate.~~~

FCO_Ens_White says:
CEO: Sure thing::

Host Aradapia says:
::hasn't woken up::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: takes CSO by the arm :: CSO: Edward, let’s you and I go sit down on the sled. We could both do with a bit of rest, I think...

Host CO_Rofax says:
~~~ CNS: We are coming. ~~~

Host CO_Rofax says:
ALL: Time to move... we have trouble.  ::crosses to Aradapia::

CSO_Toms says:
::follows along placidly, still muttering::

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~CO:  Sir.  It might be safer to get the rest of the team out of here.~~~

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: sits Toms down on the sled :: CSO: There... that's better.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::puts his phaser away and gets ready to follow the CO...or kick the guide::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::kneels and touches her shoulder::  Aradapia:  Are you okay?  Are you awake?

Host Aradapia says:
::looks at the CO blearily::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  Do we have something we could restrain him with?  Something that would still let him walk but keep that claw thingie out of harms way.

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: have any ideas?

Host Aradapia says:
CO: It's too cold in here. I'ssss tired.

Host CO_Rofax says:
Aradapia:  We have a problem....

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CSO: Lay back, Edward, and try to rest.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::decides against kicking the guide for now and gets ready to move::

Host Aradapia says:
CO: You's always hass problems.

CSO_Toms says:
::looks up at the condescending CEO, mutters something violent sounding and goes unconscious::

MO_Murphy says:
@::Watches to see if any drugs do any good::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  It sounds like the Captain is bringing the rest of the team this way.  But it will take them a while to get here.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The drugs seem to increase the metabolic rate.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS:  He can't!

Host CO_Rofax says:
::removes a thermal jacket from one of the packs and gives it to her::  Aradapia:  Thank you for noticing.  One of our other team members has been infected.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::shivers and snarls in his unconscious, sleeping state::

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  I told him I didn't think it was a good idea.  ::shrugs::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::tries to pull her up and toward the other path::

MO_Murphy says:
@All: Crap!

CNS_Luchena says:
@MO:  What?!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::turns::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Aradapia passes out.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The scales begin to creep up the XO's neck as well.

MO_Murphy says:
@CNS:I messed up ...a bit.  No drugs helping, but its making it worst

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at Aradapia::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::checks her vitals and runs a scan::

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: not on me. we could get the other group to replicate some restraints

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS:  Seems what we need is a specimen of what bit him ...

CNS_Luchena says:
@MO:  Oh crap.

FCO_Ens_White says:
CO: we need to get moving, sir.

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO: And just leave her here?

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  What was it?  Did you see it?

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Aradapia's core body temperature is very low.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at Aradapia:: CO: She doesn’t look that heavy.

MO_Murphy says:
@CNS: I said that already! ::Tries to give other drugs to get the other drugs out of his system::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  They are going to be a while.  It might not be safe to keep stunning him repeatedly.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Sir... I'm no physician, but I don't think that Mr. Toms should be moved. We don't know what will set him off next.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@CNS:  Only briefly ... it is small and black ... the XO squashed it before I could do anything

Host CO_Rofax says:
CEO: Thraxis, can you rig the anti-grav to carry her out of the cavern?

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  Where did he find it?  Where do these things hide?  ::shines his beam around::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::twitches and shudders, his piercing eyes snapping open and looking around quickly:: All: Get away from me! ::swings his clawed hand in a wide arc to clear the people around him and leaps to his feet::

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  Calm down.  What did this thing that bit you look like?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
@::points to the bridge:: CNS: Remember the cracks I warned you about ...

MO_Murphy says:
@::Backs up a bit::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: aims the XO again with phaser  on max stun::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Hmmm.... we're straining the power cells as it is. Maybe if I rig up a phaser in series with the EPS inverter...

CNS_Luchena says:
@::turns and looks back at the bridge::  OPS:  Okay then.  ::sets his phaser on absolutely teeny weenie stun and heads back across the bridge::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: moves to the back of the sled and opens an access panel ::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::spins and darts for the closest wall, backing up against it, feeling the scales clawing their way up his neck...choking...binding...:: All: No...No....

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The XO's claw accidentally catches the MO's arm.

MO_Murphy says:
@CTO: we have to get him back to the ship...can we drag him?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the prone figure of Aradapia::CO: Sir, if what I have heard on the comm is correct than the other teams need us.  I will carry her.  Can we go now?

CNS_Luchena says:
@::shines his light in a crack looking for a little black moving thingie::

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: do I stun him again?

CTO_Shiar says:
@MO: it's risky

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  At your discretion.  ::keeps searching::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The claws rip through his uniform and into her arm.

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO: She's yours.... the rest of us will go on foot.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: fires at the XO again::

Host CO_Rofax says:
CSO: Mikal needs us...

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::leaps to his right to dodge the phaser blast, expecting it this time::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::shines his light into another little crack::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The phaser blast misses.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: fires again::

MO_Murphy says:
@CTO: its risky keeping him here

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::rolls to his feet and pulls out his own phaser pistol, firing off a blast at the CTO::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The MO has been poisoned.

CSO_Toms says:
::opens his eyes and looks to the CO:: CO: What do I care??? ::closes eyes again::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::hears the phaser fire and whirls around::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CTO takes a direct hit from the XO's phaser.

CNS_Luchena says:
@XO:  That's enough!  ::fires his own phaser at the XO::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: falls back::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::takes off toward the others::  ~~~ CSO: You never stopped caring... that is why you are here.~~~

FCO_Ens_White says:
::walks over to Aradapia, bends at the knees, drapes the unconscious figure over his shoulders and lifts with his knees::

CSO_Toms says:
::blocks the CO out of his head::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  Shiar!

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::turns and bolts off down the nearest corridor::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: stands up :: CO: Sir, I've got my phaser plugged into the sled. It will carry both Mr. Toms and our guide, if need be.

MO_Murphy says:
@All:: owe owe owe...

CNS_Luchena says:
@::runs back towards the remainder of the group::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CO: Mind you, being now phaserless, I'd appreciate someone watching my back...

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@::rushes over to the MO::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Mikal misses and the XO disappears.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::sees the MO bleeding and the CTO down::

MO_Murphy says:
@OPS: NO! stay back...I’m not sure what’s wrong

Host CO_Rofax says:
CEO: Get it done..... by any means necessary.... ::tosses him the TO's phaser and hand the TO the phaser riffle from the pack::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CO's team is finally on their way.

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@::Scans the MO with a tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::pants and he bolts down the corridor, mixing between moans and snarls as he clutches his clawed arm, running away from the crew behind him:: Self: Have to run...to hide...Have to get away

CNS_Luchena says:
@~~~CO:  Sir, Kymar is transforming.  He's dangerous and he's run off.  Be careful.~~~

MO_Murphy says:
@OPS: I'm not feeling to well, I think the XO got me good

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The MO's breathing is becoming difficult.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::kneels beside the CTO::  CTO:  Come on Kaleh.  Wake up.  I can't do this without you.

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@CNS: Looks like some kind of poison ...

MO_Murphy says:
@::Lays down on the ground, trying to breath::

Host CO_Rofax says:
~~~ CNS: Run off?  ::pauses::  Stay in the open.  We're coming. ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
@::starting to sound a little hysterical::  OPS:  I looked for one, but I couldn't see any.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::grabs the MO's kit and starts searching through it::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@::applies a tourniquet:: CNS: I think this might stem it for now.  But this isn't looking good ...

MO_Murphy says:
@::Gurgles a bit::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: adjusts the sled controls for maximum load capacity ::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::keeps following the CO as quickly as he can::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: slowly wakes up and clutches head before groaning ::

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  Agreed.

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@CNS:  Any anti-toxins in there?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::snarls and shakes his head, running wildly:: Self: No...Must ge-Rawrlgh! ::shakes his head and cries out again, having it turn into a loud snarl as he drags his claw along the wall, leaving deep gouges::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::hears the CTO groan::  CTO:  He ran off, but not before attacking the MO.

CNS_Luchena says:
@OPS:  Nothing general.

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: do you want me to follow?

Host CO_Rofax says:
::continues making his way toward the others with the team in tow::

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  No!  Stay here.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Motions OPS over::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@MO:  What is it?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::lets the CEO catch up with the grav sled and eases Aradapia onto it.::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: thinks back to CMO days::  CNS: what happened to the MO?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::"Dremel?" continues running, snarling every few steps. "Dremel, are you here?" shakes his head and claws at the wall again, running faster and faster::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::removes the medical tricorder and scans the MO, knowing its useless but has to do something::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The FCO is exhausted but satisfied.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Struggles to breath:: OPS: You need to take it off, ::motions to her arm, then to the phaser:: I'm going to die....it has to go..

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
FCO: Thank you, Mr. White.

CNS_Luchena says:
@CTO:  Kymar attacked her.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::smiles to himself and keeps stumbling after the group::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@MO:  Not if I can help it.  You will not die.

FCO_Ens_White says:
CEO: no problem.

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
CTO:  Kaleh ...

CTO_Shiar says:
@CNS: mind if I look at the scans?

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The MO will die unless they amputate the offending limb before the poison spreads beyond the arm.

MO_Murphy says:
@OPS: My arm...:: eyes goes water:: Take it off...

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::stops and kneels on the ground, looking left and right, his eyes picking up every minute detail::

CTO_Shiar says:
@OPS: she's right

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@::nods:: CTO:  Do it.  ::moves away unable to watch::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CO's team reaches the far side of the bridge.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Turns her head away::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::shows the tricorder scans to the CTO::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::glances around::

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: . goes into the med kit and gives the MO something for the pain.  sets up a phaser and amputates the arm using it::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::slows as they approach the others and sees the carnage all around::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: walks around sled to portable replicator :: Rep: Thermal warming packs, quantity eight.

MO_Murphy says:
@::Screams at the top of her lungs::

CNS_Luchena says:
@::trying not to faint::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::darts his head left and stands up once more, picking up the pace as he runs. "Dremel...where did you go?"::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
@::tries unsuccessfully not to faint ... hits the ground with a thud::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The OPS passes out.

CTO_Shiar says:
@:: looks in the kit for something to aid the MO's breathing::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The MO continues to scream.......

MO_Murphy says:
@ALL: My arm,!!!! It’s gone!

CNS_Luchena says:
@::applies the auto suture to the MO's stub::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CO arrives on the scene with the others.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::continues running. "Dremel? Brother..." I'm here...where is here...?  switches direction very suddenly and heads right::

Host CO_Rofax says:
@  ::approaches the group and gasps slightly::  Self: By the Prophets....

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around and whistles than gets out his hand phaser and sets to heavy stun::

CTO_Shiar says:
@MO: there was nothing else we could do. these days the artificial limbs are really quite good

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The MO passes out.

CNS_Luchena says:
@::almost faints with relief to see the CO::

MO_Murphy says:
:: Faints, a bit of drool running from the corner of her mouth::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The XO passes out as well.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  It was Kymar Sir.  He attacked her and poisoned her.   It was the only thing to do.

Host CO_Rofax says:
CNS: Any other casualties?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::his mid shuts down and he falls to the floor with a snarl and a thud::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Shiar took a phaser blast, but he seems to be okay now.  ::voice breaks with emotion::

CTO_Shiar says:
Self: put them out, then amputate. how many times do you have to go through it?

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
::is lying there completely unnoticed::

MO_Murphy says:
::Twitches a bit::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::glances around again and spots the unconscious OPS::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: rubs chest before moving to aid Jordan::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Scans reveal that the amputation has stopped the poison from spreading.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: takes thermal packs from replicator, twists each one to activate it, and lays four along each side of Aradapia ::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Kymar is dangerous, Captain.  And he's not rational.

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CTO is a bit stiff and winded, but will be fine.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::"Dremel, is that you?" It's me..."Then who is out there? Who has our body..." I don't know...I don't know anything::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::grabs Mikal on each shoulder and stares him in the eye::  ~~~ CNS: You did what had to be done.  Let's find a cure and get out of here.~~~

FCO_Ens_White says:
::spots Shiar attending her and shrugs than walks that way::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The FCO goes to help Shiar anyway.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  We were looking for whatever bit the Commander in the first place, but we don't have a good description.  It's small, dark and lives in cracks in the rocks.

CTO_Shiar says:
:: gets out some smelling salts and waves them under Jordan's nose::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
::groans::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: Jordan comes to.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels a bit more focused::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::doesn’t have much medical knowledge but tries to help::

FCO_Ens_White says:
OPS: Jordan...hey...you ok?

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
::opens her eyes::

Host CO_Rofax says:
ALL: Let's regroup and hold position.  We need to find a source.  Start scanning for bio-signs.. rule out all away team signatures and anything larger than a half-meter in length....

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::feels the cold stone floor on his cheek. "What do we do?" We wait...friends will be along soon...friends will help me...yes...help...me..."Dremel?" ... "Dremel!" ...No answer::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks around for the CSO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks over to the antigrav::  CSO:  Wake up!  We'll need this for the MO.

CSO_Toms says:
::comes to again, blinking, and takes a swipe at the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
::grabs a hypo from the med kit, checks the dose and grins a bit evilly::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
CO:  Sir, I only saw it briefly ... it was small ... about the size of an insect ...

CTO_Shiar says:
:: starts scanning for the little things::

CNS_Luchena says:
::returns to Toms::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at Ops than glances at CTO::

Host CO_Rofax says:
OPS: Where was it?

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  Get up.  ::crams the hypo to his neck and releases::

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
CO:  In a crack on the bridge.  There should be remnants of the one the XO squashed ...

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The CSO is dosed by a heavy duty antipsychotic, "happy" drug, similar to Prozac.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::flips open his tricorder and begins scanning for life forms smaller than .5 m

Host CO_Rofax says:
OPS: Good.  See what you can cull from the area....

Host Aradapia says:
Action: He instantaneously feels like his old self, only happier.

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  On your feet Mister!

CSO_Toms says:
::gets up, looks at the CNS, and spits, but does it all happily::

Host CO_Rofax says:
CEO: I need your expertise once more....

Host Aradapia says:
Action: He's like a smurfy CSO, ready to sing and dance.

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  We need to track down a bug.  Get at it!

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
::nods and moves towards the offending crack, scanning with her tricorder as she goes::

CSO_Toms says:
CNS: What kind of bug???

Host CO_Rofax says:
::orders a TO to follow OPS and cover the far side of the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
CSO:  An extremely poisonous one.  ::picks up the MO's severed arm::  Here's a sample of the poison.

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO: I will need your assistance as well....

CTO_Shiar says:
CO: sir, is the plan to find a bug then hunt for the XO?

CNS_Luchena says:
::holds the dripping arm right in the CSO's face::

FCO_Ens_White says:
CO: I await your orders, sir.

Host CO_Rofax says:
CTO: Find a cure.... and it is in no way a hunt.....

OPS_Pettigrove_ says:
::finds the crack and begins scanning::

CTO_Shiar says:
CO: right

FCO_Ens_White says:
::thinks to himself, but seeing as there are no shuttles or ships or anything around all I'll wind up doing is scanning things::

Host CO_Rofax says:
FCO / CEO: I need you two to rig a harness to scan the underside of the bridge.... we may need to get up close.

CSO_Toms says:
::looks at the CNS, then the arm, and then the CNS again....:: CNS: Ok. ::scans the arm then starts looking fro a similar type of poison somewhere::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: starts scanning the area for the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
@::his mind blanks, the scales continuing to crawl up his body::
