Captain's Log - SD 10406.12

Several members of the crew have been dispatched to investigate various mysteries on the unnamed planet below and on the Dominion Battle cruiser that has coasted into the area.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Somehow, fate has decided this is not troublesome enough and has graced us with two deaths on board and one on the Dominion vessel.  Now it would appear our Counselor has gone missing.

@::standing by the crystalline structure, giving last minute instructions to the remain crew while the relays are being setup::

Host Cat says:
Action: The counselor has reappeared in a subterranean room.

EO_Damien says:
@::standing at the top of the stairs::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::in the dark::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::then turns and looks down the stairs::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::punching through the incoming reports from throughout the ship, trying to sort out what went wrong::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO" What do you think?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: still deep in the bowels of the injector conduit :: *FCO*: Mr. White, have you found out where those engineering spares are stored yet?

Host Cat says:
#<CTO>: ::continues to explore the derelict ship::.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Wait here just a moment, then we'll be heading down. I think it’s going to be an excellent adventure. ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looking at the body of the tactical officer::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* no.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::shakes himself and turns back to the console::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO sees nothing but darkness.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::exits the bridge leaving the A_OPS in charge and heads for Sickbay::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::shivers::

EO_Damien says:
@::laughs:: CSO: I'm game for adventure

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::exits the TL and enter Sickbay to check on the progress of the autopsies::

Host Cat says:
<OPS Tetrics> ::takes the big seat::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
#:: several fat sparks bounce off the CEO's environment suit as he pulls an EPS module from its socket ::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
COMM:Pen: A_OPS: AT to Pendragon. Requesting that you assemble two further teams of Science personal and send them to my current location to reinforce the people I have down here. I will heading into an underground area shortly, and will stay in touch. AT out.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks at the console and  attempts to locate the ship's map::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Looks dark. I can program the tricorder to emit a little light - not much, but something. Or we could beam one down.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: Well, unless we plan to get out and push, I'm going to need a spare injector assembly for this thing right quick.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Get the tricorder going, we are going in.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* pushing might be quicker.

Host Cat says:
<OPS Tetrics> COM:CSO: Understood, Sir. I will advise the captain of your request. Please stand by.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::pulls out his tricorder and attempts to decipher the console::

EO_Damien says:
@quickly programs the tricorder to emit a small amount of light:: CSO: Ready when you are

Host Cat says:
Action: The dark seems ominous.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::reaches out in the dark::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::Heads to the mouth of the stairs, pulls out a tricorder, and then waits as he hears the COMM:: Self: Damn it, hurry up.

CMO_Carter says:
::at his desk, getting the results of the autopsy::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: Humorous but unhelpful, Mr. White. Check the ship's engineering manifest and find me that assembly.

Host Cat says:
Action: The Counselors fingers brush the cube, which flares to life.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* I have to find the ship's manifest first Mr. Thraxis.  Can't you just beam one over from the Pendragon?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Do you think we'll be able to receive comms in there. ::points down the hole::

Host Cat says:
*CO*: Bridge here, Sir. The CSO has requested two more teams at his position.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::spies the CMO and crosses to his office:: CMO: Doctor, have you made any progress?

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::continues scanning the console and attempts to interface it with the tricorder::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Let me try and scan into it and see

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: Our assemblies aren't sized to fit this engine. This is a Dominion vessel, Mr. White. They like to do things their own way.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::throws his head back::

EO_Damien says:
@::attempts to scan the interior::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: If we are going to get the warp core back on line, it will have to be with their parts.

CMO_Carter says:
::looks up at the Captain:: CO: Well your timing is good, the results are coming in now.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* So have your genius engineers replicate the parts.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::continues working at interfacing the tricorder with the console::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*A_OPS* Noted...  Send him three teams and increase supplies as well.  Until we can gather more information, I want to focus our efforts on what happened to the population.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::feels the energy::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: It appears the brain meltdown as we have been calling it was caused by a overload of her psychic abilities.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: voice grows dangerously calm ::  *FCO*: Mr. White, we are not debating this. Find me an injector assembly. Thraxis out.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: I'm reading a progressively degrading signal. The further in we go, the less likely we will be able to communicate with the ship

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO's scan reveals nothing unusual as of yet.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Was is something naturally occurring or do you have other leads?

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::curses at the comm::Self: why isn't this tricorder working?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Seems we stand here till they get back to me then. How frustrating.

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO gets a slight reaction but then loses it again.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: crawls a little further into the conduit to reach the assembly release controls ::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::considers hitting the tricorder but thinks better of it and continues interfacing the tricorder with the console::

EO_Damien says:
@::disappointed:: CSO: I guess so.

Host Cat says:
<OPS Tetrics> COM:CSO: Teams approved, Sir. ETA fifteen minutes.

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Well it is very rare, there are very few documented cases of it, but it does happen mind you. The increased levels of adrenaline and seratonin suggests her body actually did this to herself.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CEO comes across yet another dead body.

CMO_Carter says:
CO: As of the cause, there are no leads, and I doubt we'll find out.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: I'm not detecting anything out of the ordinary so far:: continues to attempt to probe the interior::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@COMM:Pen:A_OPS: Very well. I will be descending now. MCPO Janus is in charge at site. Contact him with anything of importance. AT out.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::considers shooting the console, pulls out his handphaser and looks at it than at the console and smiles::

EO_Damien says:
@::looks at the CSO::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Looks like we can go in now. Lets be careful though.

Host Cat says:
Action: The console beeps at the FCO.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::Starts down the staircase, scanning around him as he goes::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Want me to take point? ::jokingly:: I'm expendable

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: Have you determined a cause to the elevated levels?  I do not recall anyone being that drastically affected by the trip through the wormhole.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::smiles at the console still and looks at it than tries to bring up the ship's map::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::senses an intention::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: jerks back in surprise, then taps his commbadge :: *CTO*: Thraxis to Shiar. I've got another corpse down here in Engineering.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Don’t worry about that. The TO's will be worrying about that. I want you to concentrate on making sure you know how to get us out of here, should we need it.

EO_Damien says:
@::follows, still scanning::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: The cases I have read about, some were caused by an outside force. The elevated levels are a result from the overloading. Whatever it was, it was powerful.

Host Cat says:
@<CTO>::grimaces in disgust:: CEO: Same condition as the others?

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: I'll leave a trail of breadcrumbs

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::Smiles at the EOs comment::

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO brings up a map in a non-standard language.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#console:ok now lets work together here.  I need a map.  a map of this ship.  with the supplies on it.  you can help me and we can work together and everyone gets along

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *CTO*: So far as I can tell, yes. The body has been shoved into the injector assembly access conduit, less than artfully.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks at the console:: Console: a map I can use please.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO's team continues to walk through the dark, damp, and smelly tunnel system.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::holding the cube in the dark::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::plugs the universal translator into the tricorder and scans the language::

EO_Damien says:
@ CSO: What Is that smell? ::looks accusingly at the CSO::

Host Cat says:
#<CTO>: CEO: Any sign of trauma?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: What kind of outside forces?  I am telepathic and have not detected anything out of sorts.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks around him as they progress inspecting the surfaces and other such interesting bits and pieces::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Still nothing of note

CMO_Carter says:
CO: You won't until it happens, there is no warning signs. Probably something we haven't encountered.

Host Cat says:
Action: The cube continues to glow as Mikal's powers increase.

CMO_Carter says:
CO: There are so few cases that there is little data.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *CTO*: I can't really say. Whoever shoved this guy in here was not being gentle about it. Sorting out injuries inflicted before death from those inflicted afterwards is going to take an autopsy.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO notices that the filthy walls have crystals imbedded in them at various points.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::stares at the glowing cube::

Host Cat says:
Action: The UT beeps and the FCO is able to retrieve the requested data.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::thinks of the Captain::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::screws up nose at the musty-ness of the caves:: EO: I also want you to keep an eye on weather we can contact the ship or the above ground teams.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Aye Sir

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::looks to the dead bodies lying around Sickbay and then back to the CMO::  CMO: You're right.... we haven't encountered yet.  And we haven't encountered it twice by the looks of it.   ::pauses::

Host Cat says:
@<CTO> CEO: Se if you can get the body sent to the ship for an autopsy.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: begins tugging on the Jem'Hadar corpse... it'll have to come out of there before the injector assembly can be replaced ::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *CTO*: Aye. sir...

Host Cat says:
Action: The Captain begins to feel......guilty.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::smiles at the console, brings the schematic up then sends it to the CEO::

EO_Damien says:
@*Ground Team*: Damien to ground team, are you reading?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::stops and has a closer look at the crystals in the walls. Scans them, then has a look to see if they are in any kind of pattern. Pushes one to see what happens::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Captain...you ok?

Host Cat says:
Action: The body is rather squishy.

Host Cat says:
@<Ground Team> *EO*: We hear ya, keep yer pants on.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO*I'm sending the map to your tricorder standby.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::resonates with guilt::

EO_Damien says:
@*Ground Team* Damien out.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Communications are still clear

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::sends the map to the CEO's tricorder::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CEO hears a rumbling sound and the walls suddenly begin to close in on them.

Host Cat says:
<edit that is CSO>

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: No...  ::moves to a console::  Have you been able to pull any foreign matter from either of the victims?  Has there been anything that both have come in contact with recently?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: still struggling with the dead Jem'Hadar ::  *FCO*: Never... oof... doubted you for a moment...

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Uh...::moves away from the walls::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: I haven't found anything of note...

Host Cat says:
Action: The captain begins to feel the weight of his life fall upon his shoulders.....despair begins to creep along his soul.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::Attempts up the ship status display on the back wall::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@Self: Crap. ::pushes the same crystal again:: EO This could be bad.

Host Cat says:
Action: The walls continue to close.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: No common skin samples, DNA from a possible attacker, chemical contact?  ::frowns::  Nothing at all?

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: An understatement...::looks at the crystals::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Nothing, I was very thorough. Whatever it was it left no traces.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CEO manages to move the body out of the way, finally.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::watches the console and than also attempts to bring up the helm controls::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Lets move, back the way we came, see if it stops anywhere. Keep an eye out for anything that may be a hiding place or a way to stop it.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Aye. I'm all for that ::heads back the way they came::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::drops into a chair, looking destitute::

CMO_Carter says:
::picks up a tricorder, begins to scan the Captain::

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO trips and hits yet another crystal.

Host Cat says:
Action: The walls stop moving.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: tumbles out of the conduit with the body, breathing hard :: Self: Hoo boy... I am getting too old for this crap...

EO_Damien says:
@::stops:: CSO: Guess we got lucky

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::watches the console do its thing and wonders who designed the system::

Host Cat says:
Action: The body leaks fluids all over the CEO.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# COMM: Pendragon: Thraxis to Pendragon. I just pulled a Jem'Hadar body out of a conduit over here. Lock on and beam it to Sickbay for autopsy, per CTO Shiar's orders.

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO notices that the console has stopped.

CMO_Carter says:
::frowns::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks at the console and mutters than considers kicking it, remembers his toe and quietly whispers to the console::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::hears the Comm and pushes past the CMO::  Out loud:  No more.....

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Captain stop!

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks around at the walls that have stopped:: @ALL: Thank god for that.. ::wipes forehead::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: If you have any psychic barriers you use put them up now!

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::pauses::  CMO: I can't....  ::makes for the door::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: It's stopped. Maybe we should leave those crystal the hell alone until we understand them. IF we ever do. I got lucky at the entrance

Host Cat says:
Action: Something skitters across the EO's foot.

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Captain, you are showing symptoms.

EO_Damien says:
@::jumps:: Chingales!

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO is starting to feel a bit creeped out.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#Console: oh come on gorgeous, you can show me the helm systems.  We are getting along so well why ruin such a good relationship over something so small?

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::stops, placing one hand on the door::  CMO: I.....  ::trails off::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Agreed. But there has to be something to them that is more then just ways to kill us. What was that???

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks behind him::

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Recall everyone...

Host Cat says:
Action: The console responds with a puff of smoke.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::looks around the empty bridge than steps back from the console worriedly::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to ignore this feeling:: ~~~

OPS_Tribble says:
::watches the puff of smoke and frowns::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: sits up, checks tricorder :: Self: Ah... the injector spares are just two corridors away. Splendid...

EO_Damien says:
@::unnerved::CSO: I'm not sure. It sure didn't register on my tricorder!

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CMO: No.  There are too many unanswered questions.

CMO_Carter says:
CO: Captain the ship is in danger.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: We're getting that a little too much for my liking Ensign. I think we should stop for a bit and try to calibrate the tricorders to scan these areas, and actually get some data back.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: gets to his feet and sets out to find the storeroom ::

Host Cat says:
Action: OPS has noticed a puff of smoke on the Pendragon as well.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::drops his head and makes to leave::  CMO: Fine.  Declare a medical emergency....  I'm leaving Sickbay.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around the bridge wondering what is going on, and who is watching him::

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Agreed. It's possible that the crystals themselves are problematic as far as scanning goes, given the nature of crystals

CMO_Carter says:
::nods, giving him a dose of meds to suppress his psychic ability::

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO is becoming very, very nervous.

EO_Damien says:
@::tries to compensate for any distortions caused by the environment::

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO feels a few more skitters.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::exits Sickbay and makes for Deck 10::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO*: Do you hear that?

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Dang it! These things are all over, whatever they are.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::turns around looking around the bridge::

Host Cat says:
Action: The Beta blockers begin to help the CO, somewhat.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Very well. Lets get to work. Try every frequency you've got in that thing, and anything that you can think of. I’m going to have a closer look at the walls, without touching this time. ::walks to the wall, and the nearest crystal::

CMO_Carter says:
*OPS*: This is Dr. Carter, I am declaring a level one medical emergency, beam everyone back, use all precautions necessary.

EO_Damien says:
@::scans in the direction the critters ran::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO doesn't feel or see anything.

OPS_Tribble says:
*CMO* All right.  But, what is the emergency?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: No, Ensign. I hear nothing. What are you referring to?

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* That!!

CMO_Carter says:
*OPS*: I believe the crew is in danger, I have the captains authority on this, now please.

Host Cat says:
Action: The EO's tricorder beeps uselessly.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: stops, listens carefully for several seconds ::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::looks at the crystals, their colour, and their placement, to see if there is anything about them that would suggest a second usage... does NOT touch them::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::points alarmedly towards a corner than it strikes him that the comms don't show hand signals::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::enters the Shuttle bay and moves to a badly damaged shuttle in the early stages of repair::

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO hears something breathing.

OPS_Tribble says:
*CMO*  I will advise the transporter room.  ::advises TR::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::Still in the dark.  Still holding the cube::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO*something is in here with me...

Host Cat says:
Action: The CEO thinks he sees something out of the corner of his eye.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Sir, this thing is useless. I'm getting no useful information at all. It's now just a flashlight

Host Cat says:
Action: The CSO hears someone crying.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::finds the interior panel he was looking for and pries it open::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::turns around suddenly trying to see what is behind him::

OPS_Tribble says:
::ENS. Homer in TR gets a lock on the team::

Host Cat says:
Action: The cube is now growing brightly.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: spins around :: *FCO*: I'm not hearing anything... but I thought I saw someone or something move a moment ago...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::has wide starring eyes lit by the cube::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::lifts head starts turning head trying to figure out where the noise is coming from:: EO: Do you hear that??

CMO_Carter says:
::wonders who else is telepathic, goes to pull up records::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#::pulls out his handphaser and watches for movement, crouching low and backing into a corner::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::removes a smallish bottle of Andorian Ale and tosses the cork out into the Shuttle bay::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO smells blood.

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* I think that whatever killed the crew is still on the ship.

CMO_Carter says:
::smells blood, looks around:: Self: What is that coming from?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# *FCO*: A distinct possibility, Mr. White. Are you armed?

Host Cat says:
Action: Tribble hears a purring sound, ever so slight.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Hear what?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Crying.

CMO_Carter says:
::begins to look around::

FCO_Ens_White says:
#*CEO* always.  I think we'll be safer if we team up...where are you?

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@::Starts to move in the direction that he thinks the noise is coming from::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::takes one swig and smashes the bottle against an interior wall::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO sees blood dripping down the walls.

OPS_Tribble says:
:looks around for the purring sound::

CMO_Carter says:
::looks on in horror, closes his eyes:: Self: It isn't real, it isn't real...

Host Cat says:
Action: The wall shatters, revealing a cliff overlooking a volcanic wasteland.

OPS_Tribble says:
::Ens. Homer begins the transport, waiting with rapt attention for what dire things will occur::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: checks map on tricorder :: *FCO*: Deck Eleven, corridor twelve-C. I'll wait for you here.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Sir? Are we moving further in?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
# :: unholsters phaser, checks it, and sets to heavy stun ::

Host Cat says:
Action: The teams are transported back to the ship.

EO_Damien says:
@::follows::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Yes. ::keeps heading towards the crying::

Host Cat says:
Action: The OPS begins to get that "hunted" feeling.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to find the source of his feelings and psychically smash it:: ~~~

OPS_Tribble says:
::Ens. Homer opens his eyes wide.   The transport was a success.  He notifies OPS::

CMO_Carter says:
::opens his eyes, looking around::

EO_Damien says:
@::keeps up at a trot:: CSO: What did you hear?

OPS_Tribble says:
<Homer>:: CMO: Welcome back, Sir.

Host Cat says:
Action: As the doctor suppressed the poor CO's psychic abilities, he is unsuccessful.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: removes suit helmet :: Homer: Why have we been beamed back, Ensign?

Host Cat says:
Action: The blood is now pouring down the walls of sickbay. The captain is teetering on the cliff.

CMO_Carter says:
::runs out of sickbay::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around the transporter room and looks at all the other people wondering who ordered the beam out::

OPS_Tribble says:
<Homer> CEO: Apparently the CMO ordered it, Sir.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: Someone or something crying. I don’t think it’s really a being, but maybe a computer system or something replaying data. Maybe we can get some information out of this place.

FCO_Ens_White says:
CEO: good idea.

EO_Damien says:
@CSO: Did it sound human?

Host Cat says:
Action: The FCO is still feeling like he is being watched, the CSO still hears someone crying, and the EO feels something clawing at his legs.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::moves to the Shuttle bay doors and opens them, staring out into space beyond the bluish force field::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
@EO: I don’t know.

Host Cat says:
Action: OPS hears a roar.

Host Cat says:
Action: The captain is thrown off the side of the cliff.

CMO_Carter says:
::running down the corridor::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO falls face down in the blood.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::fades in and out of consciousness, thinking he is screaming::

OPS_Tribble says:
::looks wildly around for the source of the roar.::

CMO_Carter says:
::realizes he is in blood, yelling out for help::

Host Cat says:
Action: The cube begins to glow a deep red.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::walks quietly out of the transporter room looking at the people::  All: quit watching me.

Host Cat says:
Action: Tribble feels something breathing on her.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
%::face appears red in the glow of the cube::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::hears a voice, but cannot determine if it is his own or another::

CSO_Lt_Toms says:

EO_Damien says:
::materializes:: CSO: What happened?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: sheds the environmental suit and stashes it in the equipment locker, then leaves the transporter room ::

Host Cat says:
Action: The crying is making the poor CSO feel so sad, so helpless.

OPS_Tribble says:
