All: Anyone care to fill me in on what’s going on? You won't believe what I've just seen. Plus I'm bleeding all over the place form some creature we picked up on the planet

FCO_Ens_White says:
::keeps running through the halls hoping for a way out::

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::notes the bleeding::  EO: Then get yourself to Sickbay.  On the double, and STAY there.

Host Andrew says:

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: momentarily confused ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::waits while the EMH fixes her up::

Host Andrew says:

CNS: Counselor... what just happened?

EO_Ens_Damien says:
::sits:: XO: She should be dead, but isn't.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
Andrew: What are you doing, Andrew?

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks up to EO and inspects the wound::

Host Andrew says:
CNS: This is a bad toy, Uncle Mikal.

::grabs his station and hold on, but takes readings::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::is still in sickbay with a massive headache::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
XO: We've been thrown off course...

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::reaches the helm as the ship levels off and returns to normal::

Host Andrew says:
Action: Heads reattach, wounds heal, as does emotional damage.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks up at the ceiling and winces::

Host Andrew says:
Action: The ship, however, has lost primary helm control and power to decks 5-9.

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
::looks around him, wondering where the crying has gone, or the lil' people for that matter ::

EO_Ens_Damien says:
::Looks down:: XO: Hey...my chest..it's all better.

FCO_Ens_White says:

EO_Ens_Damien says:
*CEO*: Some kind of massive shockwave has thrown us several light years off course...I'm investigating now

::picks herself up and heads back for the bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::bopping along the perimeter of the bridge::

Host Andrew says:
::sits down on Mikal's lap::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Andrew:  Hey Andrew.  ::smiles sadly::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
Andrew: Are you all right, little one?

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::remains oblivious as much as he can  to what's going on::

Host Andrew says:
::smiles at Mikal and the CEO::

Host Andrew says:
CEO: Uncle Mikal's back.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::considers standing up and making his way to the bridge but decides against it until he can catch his breath::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CNS: Counselor? You okay?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: OOOOOOF

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
::gets his wits together a bit and heads towards the bridge::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CNS: I'm... not entirely certain myself. What was that artifact you were holding a moment ago?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks around very confused:: ALL:  Does anyone want to tell me what happened to us?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  I found it in a science lab.  I think one of the teams brought it back from the surface::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::opens his eyes and understands why it was so dark::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around the bridge and considers standing up than looks up at the OPS officer than waves up at her::Ops: Hi.

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::manages to get to the chair::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CNS: It came from the planet, then?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::can’t remember how he got to the bridge but listens anyhow::

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: That's what we are trying to ascertain Commander...   Resume duty station...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Aye, sir. I'll have one for you in a couple of minutes.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  I'm sorry.  ::wanders off::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CNS: Will you be all right here, Counselor? I need to find an engineering console.

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
*Sickbay* Bridge to Sickbay...  Medical Teams to the bridge...  

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::checks her board:: XO:  Sir, I'm reading power out on Decks 5-9.  Trying to re-route power.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::shrugs than shakes his head, stands up, and staggers over to his station looking at its featureless surface::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Perfectly fine.  ::disappears around a corner::

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
OPS: Very well... Let's see what we can do about restoring helm control.

::laughs::  Andrew:  I don't know little buddy...

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Bridge: I've located the source of the problem with helm control. I'll need to access the main control junction from the Jeffries tube on Deck Three. On my way now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CSO: Mr. Toms...   Broad range scan of the area....   Tell us what exactly caused that shockwave and if we can expect it again.
