Host Coot says:
The Pendragon encountered a freighter showing signs of attack and three survivors were brought aboard.  However, these survivors were nothing of the sort and began rampaging upon the crew of the Pendragon.

Host Coot says:
After numerous attacks and the destruction of one of these creatures, the other two were trapped in a diagnostic loop of the transporter.  However, the Station's power grid is beginning to feel the effects and upon further review of the biometric readings, Starfleet wishes to investigate these creatures more thoroughly.

<<<< Begin Mission: What Lies Beneath >>>>

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Laying in the Biobed wondering what to do now... this was getting a bit annoying to her::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::still in sickbay, keeping an eye on the CMO::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::In main engineering going over reports::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::on the bridge manning her station::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::In SCI office, checking over staffing levels::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in the command chair on the Bridge ::  OPS: Commander, please see to the usual post-docking tasks. I will be in Sickbay with Dr. Yates.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Smiles as she looks over at the CNS:: CNS: She seems to be doing much better now. Her replacement kidney is functioning well.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Cmdr Yates appears to have healed fully with a re-engineered kidney in place.  However, she will be sore for several days.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands, leaves via the turbolift ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Coombs:  Thank you for the reassurance.  ::steps closer to the biobed::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks up from the Biobed:: Combs: Thank you, Lieutenant. ::Smiles a bit as she feels a small amount of pain and then turns her eyes to Mikal:: CNS: Thank you for tolerating me... ::smiles faintly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes her hand::  CMO:  How do you feel?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Moves away from the two and begins to enter some things in the main medical console::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: exits the turbolift just outside Sickbay ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: A bit sore but I have been through worse. ::Her eyes drift toward his ear:: CNS: You should have Piper look at that for you... she can probably repair the cosmetic damage. ::Closes her eyes a bit... she cannot believe that she did that to him::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  You know... among some species biting is part of a mating ritual.  In fact....  ::breaks off as the CO walks in::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: enters Sickbay, nods to Combs ::  CNS: She's right, Counselor... best have that ear looked at.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::looks at the duty roster, looking around engineering::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A communication from the station is requesting assistance in identifying what those survivors actually are.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: puts a hand on Yates' shoulder ::  CMO: Doctor... you've been through a lot. How are you?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps away::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Her smile widens as she notices the Captain appear:: CO: I'm fine, sir. I would like to apologize for the problems that I've seemed to have caused.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain Thraxis.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CNS: Well, shall we have a look then? ::Motions to Biobed Three::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Coombs:  I'm fine.  It's already been cleaned up.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Not your fault, Doctor. It's clear you were under an alien influence.  :: looks up :: *OPS*: Thraxis here.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  We have received a Comm from the Station asking for our assistance in identifying the survivors.  Specifically they're asking for the CMO and CSO's assistance.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Sneaks a peak:: CNS: I can repair it fully if you would like, Counselor. It would not take long... just a couple of minutes. ::Looks at him curiously::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::An alien influence... she had been under those a few times during her career. She watches the CO as he answers his comm from Jordan::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Coombs:  No rush I assume?  We can take care of it later?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CNS: If you wish, yes.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Assign Toms to head up the team assisting the station. Dr. Yates is still recuperating. Assign another member of the med staff at your discretion.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  How about Lt Combs, Sir?  I'll notify Commander Toms.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: If my assistance is required sir... ::Pauses for a moment as she feels something rather odd. She closes her eyes to concentrate a bit better::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain....  ::appears distracted::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Fine by me. Thanks. Thraxis out.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Bridge to Cmdr Toms.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::still seated at her station going over the fight controls and recorders::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Toms here, go ahead.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Your assistance is required now in restoring yourself to full health. You were assaulted, Doctor. I do not ask my crew to ignore their own well-being.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::checking the navigational array and doing diagnostics as well::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::runs a routine diagnostic for the shift report::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Yes, Mikal?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Opens her eyes:: CO: Sir, I have a feeling of distrust... ::Closes her eyes again and nods at his response::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  We've received a request for assistance from DS14 in relation to these creatures.  Specifically they've asked for you.  The Captain has asked that you head up the team assisting the Station.  Lt Combs will be joining you and assign whoever you need.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Yes, as Ashley says.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at Yates :: CMO: Distrust? Of whom?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  No one person.  The Federation maybe?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks toward Mikal and just nods in response::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Very well, tell the Lt to meet me at docking port 4, with a couple of med aids, and any data that the Meds have one these things

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Numerous damage reports are now coming in from the freighter.  It would appear the survivors did a fair amount of physical damage on their own.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Acknowledged.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::puts his desk in order and then heads for the TL::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  Bridge to Captain Thraxis.  Sir, Cmdr Toms is readying to leave for the Station.  He has asked that Lt Combs meet him at Docking Port 4 with two med aids and all the data they have collected.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Commander.  :: looks over at Combs ::  I believe that Lt Combs will be there shortly.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Listens to the comm chatter between Jordan and the Captain. She wants to help... she really hates being stuck in a Biobed, that is why she was a Doctor after all, to help::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::gets out of the TL and heads to the docking port::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks toward the Captain:: CO: I will report there now, sir. ::She grabs a Med Kit and heads out of Sickbay for the docking port. She taps her Commbadge and contacts one of the med teams to meet her there as well::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Doctor... what can you tell us about the aliens who attacked you?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stares in disbelief as Coombs leaves::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: They were... ::Looks after Combs:: CNS: Mikal... do you?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain.  I think you should reconsider allowing Dr. Yates to join the AT.  ::nods at the CMO::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::continues to run the diagnostics and finds nothing wrong with them::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::waits at the docking point for the Lt::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to Docking Port 4::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the FCO:: FCO:  I hate this part ... the waiting ...

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: I have the same thought.  I hate playing the waiting game.  I have run diagnostics and everything is functioning correctly for a change.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::The Turbo Lift stops and she steps onto Docking Port 4:: CSO: Lieutenant Piper Combs, reporting as ordered, Commander. ::Notices her medical team arriving::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Same here ... I don't know how many times I can run the same diagnostic ...

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Hello....this can't be right.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  What is it?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Sits up on the Biobed, she is a bit sore but she would live::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: I appreciate your input, Mikal... and your eagerness to get back to duty, Doctor. But I value the lives of my crew highly. Until you receive medical clearance to return to active duty, you belong here.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::nods to the Lt:: Lt: Good to see you. Lets head off. ::starts through the docking umbilical::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Sir, we mean no disrespect but there is a sense of mistrust surrounding Ms. Combs...

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Toms to bridge, we are stepping off for the moment, keep our coffee warm will you?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Lt. Coombs may not be what she appears.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: It appears that I am getting some fluxuations on the nacelle power feeds.  Looks like something has been siphoning off some of our power.  They are showing bio-matter and it is now spreading as if it were.....like an infection.....is that possible???

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: *CSO*:  You got it.  Have fun over there.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  What!

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Always. Where am I heading?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::checks the readings::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: cocks his head to look at Yates :: CMO: Can you be more specific? Has she done something to warrant this mistrust?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She smiles toward the CSO:: CSO: Do we know where we are going? ::Pauses as he just asked that::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Station OPS might be a good place to start.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Yes that is exactly what I said.  How can this happen?  I mean in space no living organism can survive without oxygen.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Right you are. Toms out

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Two white-coated Scientists approach the CSO and the others.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I can sense it, sir. I have learned to trust my abilities as has Mikal. ::Looks back toward him:: CO: I assure you that something is not right.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::confirms the readings:: FCO:  This is trouble ...

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: But it does read as bio matter!!

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: Cmdr Toms, I presume?  This way please....

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Indeed it is trouble the stuff is spreading fast.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::follows Rigel::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  I know!  *CO*:  Bridge to Captain Thraxis.  We have a problem ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Follows the CSO and the scientists::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  See if you can isolate it ... stop it from spreading further ...

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: We have been reviewing your findings from the freighter and well...  ::breaks off:: ... we were a bit disturbed by it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: I don't deny that you both have empathic abilities, but I'll need something more before I put an officer's career under a cloud of suspicion.  *OPS*: What have you got, Commander?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::watching the infection as it spreads now over the entire nacelle::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  Captain, something is siphoning off power ... it reads as organic and it's spreading ... We're trying to isolate it now.  It's coming from the nacelle power feeds ...

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: They’re not my findings. I believe that Lt Combs would have more to do with those then I do.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: It is not working I can't find the correct isolation frequencies to stop it.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: That's all I have, sir. ::Looks toward Mikal and touches his arm:: ~~~CNS: We need to somehow inform Commander Toms to be on the look out...~~~

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hands work feverishly over her board::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Rotate the frequencies .. try everything you can!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Alert Lt. Damien. I'm on my way.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the CMO and nods::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Been rotating frequencies and notations for the past 15 minutes nothing is doing the trick.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
:;reads something anomalous::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  Jose, we're reading something on the nacelle power fields siphoning off power.  It reads as organic.  We're trying to isolate it here but I think we need your help.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: I'll stop in later, and we can talk some more. Get some rest. Take good care of her, Mikal...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to think of how::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  Already on it, Captain.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks toward the CSO... she did not expect to be put on the spot:: CSO/Rigel: I agree that the results were disturbing... what happened was as well.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: leaves Sickbay, heads back to the Bridge ::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::tries something else but doesn't work either::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Thank you, Captain. ::Watches him leave::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: I concur. I'm working on it now. ::scans the nacelle::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Aloud: DAMN!!

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Lt?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: enters the Bridge ::  OPS: Report.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Sorry for the outburst but everything I do doesn't stop it.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hands continue to fly over the helm controls in an effort to stop the spread of the infection::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO/*CEO*:  Try reversing the frequency ... Can we take it into negative territory?

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: Fair enough, but it's the diagnostic loop that these survivors were placed into.  We have been able to isolate a bio-signature and the life signs match a missing persons report from twelve years ago.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS/CO*: Captain, this doesn’t show as anything I've ever seen before

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  It's still spreading ... nothing we do seems to be able to stop it ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Keeps her hands behind her back as she listens::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: I was just going to try to do that.  Maybe if I take it to the negative extreme it might stop them at least.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Do you have an identity for the vessel? Has it been reported missing?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Jose, can we jettison the nacelle to keep this stuff from spreading to the rest of the ship?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::hands tap in the commands for the negative frequency and engages it::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Won't work, Captain.  It's already in the power feeds from the ship to the nacelle.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Gets off of the Biobed:: CNS: We have to do something, Mikal. I just can't let something go on that I know may cause someone harm in some way...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  I can't think of how.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: That’s not my first choice. I'd rather try full spectrum radiation on it first. But yes, it would.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Cut power from the nacelle. Can you set up containment fields?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The infection suddenly clears up from the nacelle and vanishes form energy readings.  However, a contamination alert is detected on Deck 18.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: You have served with the Commander before this. Do you have any special codes that you have used before... anything?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: I can have them up before it spreads

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Walks over to the main medical console and begins to access its data::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::keeps her eye on the readings:: CO:  It's moved ... I'm now reading a contamination alert on Deck 18

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::now looks up incredulously:: OPS: It is gone just like that.  It just vanished.  No discernable energy readings at all.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
:;erects the force fields::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  I noticed!  What's on Deck 18?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Evacuate the deck. Full containment protocols.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::begins irradiation on the affected nacelle::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Already on it.  ::sends out the message to evacuate Deck 18 ...

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: The science vessel Verkron was attacked in this sector about that time.  The entire crew was lost, but three were unaccounted for.  Two of these individuals are matching the DNA profiles we have on record.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Security to Deck 18. Intruder alert.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: But how can it move so fast?  And all at the same time????  Almost as if it had an intelligence or being sentient.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::can't think of a thing::  CMO:  I don't think so.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*Security*:  Bridge to security.  Intruder alert, Deck 18.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks at the Doctor:: Rigel: What is known about the third?

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: We have reason to believe that was the one destroyed during the attacks on your crew.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: FCO:  I have no idea ... This creature is nothing like anything I've ever seen before.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Is there a link between where the vessel was attacked and the recent movements of this ship?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: May be I can sense it.  Think I should try???

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Sighs a bit:: CNS: Then I am at a loss... ::Looks back toward him, still looking at his ear:: CNS: I cannot explain how sorry I am...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  That's not a good idea ... besides I've already tried ...

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: I am unsure... we are still trying to decipher the flight log.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::looks in surprise::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: You are telepathic and empathic as well?????

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: And please direct answers to  the Lt's questions to the Lt.  Simple politeness.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  You were not yourself, Doctor.  I have personally done much worse in similar circumstances.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::sees the nacelles are clean and wonders::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: I must commend you on your mental walls.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  I'm a telepath yes, and before you ask ... it's a long story of how this human became a telepath ... ::grins::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CSO: Thank you, Commander. ::Nods back toward Rigel::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Stranger things have happened.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Is our visitor moving?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  And yours ... you are empathic?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: I guess I just couldn't resist you. ::Smiles a bit as she looks back at the information on her console::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Both. I am full Betazoid.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, Sir.  I'm still reading it on Deck 18.  I have no visual on it, though

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: Sorry.  Ranking officer and all.... Cmdr Stark is rather strict on these things.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::still worrying about Commander Toms::  *OPS*:  Is there anyway to send a secure comm to Commander Toms?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir, could it be deceiving us?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Yes and in some ways stronger than most much to my dislike.  Wasn't born with my abilities turned on but came pretty near close to it.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CNS*:  Sure, I can set up a secure frequency for you.  What’s up, Mikal?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I might also be trying to confuse us as to its real intentions.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Rolls her eyes a bit, just because she is not a Commander...::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Yes, but I am not her, and my crew will be shown the respect they deserve. Now lets get to the job at hand.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  One of his team, a Dr. Coombs.  There's something odd going on with her.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: We don't have enough data to speculate at this point. What has Security found?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: There is nothing unusual about Ms. Combs. I cannot find a thing on her.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The lighting on Deck 18 begins to systematically go off.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  Let me try to sense her, Mikal.  I'm setting up the secure frequency now. ~~~ ::sets the frequency::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Those things that hurt you.  They can transform.  Are we sure they are all contained?

Host Coot says:
<Dr. Rigel> CSO: Yes.  In here please.  ::opens a door to a modest Science Lab::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  You have your frequency, Mikal.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::follows Rigel into the lab::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Accesses the information:: CNS: According to these scans they are in a diagnostic loop in the transporters. ::Raises an eyebrow:: CNS: For how long, I am unsure.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Can you distract Dr. Coombs for a minute.  Find some excuse to comm her?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: Yes, of course.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  We just lost the lighting on Deck 18 ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: On numerous screens before the CSO and Lt. Combs are displays on the missing crew, the transport information, and the new information on the ship the Pen just brought in.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks over the information carefully::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looks over what is on the screens::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Taps her Commbadge:: *Combs*: Yates to Combs.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *CMO*: Combs here, Doctor.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: That can't be good.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  Be cautious of Dr. Coombs.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COMM*: Thraxis to Security. Report.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, did Mikal say anything about misgivings with Lt Combs?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*Combs*: I would like a report on your status thus far, Lieutenant.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CNS*: Why?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Moves away from the group a bit:: *CMO*: We are looking at the information regarding the aliens now, Doctor. We are hoping to get a better understanding of what they are. It seems two of them are a DNA match to officers of a ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  Just a feeling.  But the CMO concurs.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Who is Combs???

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CNS*: Very well. Toms out.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  One of our medical staff ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*Combs*: What two officers, Lieutenant?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the CMO and holds up his crossed fingers::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *CMO*: I am unsure at the moment, Doctor. When I do know I will send you the information, sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::returns to studying the information on the screens::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Nods:: *Combs*: Understood, Lieutenant. Keep me updated, Yates out. ::She closes the comm:: CNS: Now we... wait.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Oh ok I was wondering that is all.  I don't get to hang round much.  To busy myself.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Can I have a look at the flight log of the freighter please, and the last known information on the lost science vessel.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Walks back over and continues looking over the information::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  I feel a need to go the bridge and find out what's going on.  Are you sure you're all right?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: Yes, I am fine. Go on, I will remain here per my orders.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Security is reporting nothing out of the ordinary, other than the lights.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::wondering what is going on because her senses are going nuts with the emotions on the ship and around her::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::closing her eyes she sorts out the voices and shuts them off one at a time till she only hears one her own::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::tries to get a sense of what Combs is thinking ... opens her mind::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::lets out a big sigh of relief::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hesitates::  CMO: Will you meet me for a meal later?  We'll need to talk again.

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO / Combs: The diagnostic loop is holding the survivors, but they are sapping energy from the station.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Rigel: Is there a way that we could better contain them?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::turns at that:: Rigel: We're sure its them?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: Of course. Your place or mine? ::Smiles::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Dr. Yates mentioned a feeling of mistrust. Why?

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO / Combs: From what we have seen no.  However,  they appear to be communicating by some sub-space or telepathic means.  ::displays the scans on screen::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I've learned to trust Mikal's instincts ... they're usually right.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::now senses the usual emotions of the bridge crew and is content that she can handle it once again::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Mine.  And please don't worry about it for another minute.  ::smiles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks over the displays curiously:: Regal: If they are communicating telepathically... is there perhaps a way we can speak with them?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looks at the scans and wonders::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: I have no need to worry. ::Grins:: CNS: Now get going.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::finally gets a sense of Combs' thoughts ... ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns and quickly leaves sickbay::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::quickly turns:: CO: Captain, Combs is intent on releasing the survivors from the diagnostic loop!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Instincts are a fine thing, but not enough to justify endangering an officer's career. Can we discuss this later? I'd like to find out what's invaded my ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sprints to a TL and enters::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::senses Combs and is beaten to the punch by the OPS officer::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: What? How do you know that?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::but is concerned more but now keeps her mouth shut::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Smiles as Mikal leaves. She leaves Main Sickbay and heads into her office where she orders a cup of tea::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks down:: CO:  I read her thoughts.

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: The DNA we have recovered is a dead-on match.  That is why we asked you here.  We are curious as to what you were able to find out about them.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: The Lt may have the right of it. If we could somehow adjust the telepathic frequency of one of our own telepaths, then maybe we could communicate.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CSO: My thoughts exactly, sir.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: That is against the code.  Why did you do that?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at Jordan in surprise ::  OPS: Just like that?!?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::is starting to get an itching in the back of his head::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges onto the bridge in time to hear the CO::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, not like that.  It took concentration but that is what I sensed ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Takes the cup from the Replicator and walks over to her desk. She takes a seat, then a sip of her tea, and opens her computer to browse through some more things::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir unfortunately it is true.  I sensed the emotions of Combs as well.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Contact Toms. Ask him to keep an eye on Combs.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The lights on Deck 18 are now back on.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Mikal was right!  She must be stopped.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::nods in agreement with OPS::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
All on bridge::  Stopped from doing what?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::opens a secure channel to the station:: *CSO*:  Pendragon to Cmdr Toms.  Are you free to speak?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::moves away from the others:: *OPS*: Go ahead.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Presses a few buttons to see if the frequencies could possibly be matched::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Now the security detail has disappeared from internal sensors!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Self:  Security detail?  ::wonders what all is going on::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  You must stop Combs.  She's planning on releasing the survivors from the transporter loop.  Don't ask me how I know but I do.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I may be able to sense their presence if you would permit me to.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Closes her eyes as she feels a slight bit of pain.:: Self: It will be gone soon.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gasps as he overhears OPS::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Very well. Toms out.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CSO/Rigel: I believe it could be done, we would just need a rather strong telepath who is well trained. ::Looks at them both::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::closes and lets her mind reach out and look for the emotional patterns of the security detail::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The diagnostic loop changes its frequency and the transporter room aboard the freighter is beginning to become active.  Anyone with an eye on the freighter will see this.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Lt: Lt, can you come here a moment please.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CSO: Yes, sir. ::Walks over to him::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir Look the freighter is becoming active!!!! ::points::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Takes another sip of her tea as she looks over her own medical file::

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO / Combs: Telepaths are few and far between on the Station here.  Can one of your crew do this?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Lt: I’ve just had a request from the Pendragon. You are needed on the bridge. Please return when you are finished.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::overhears the FCO::  CO:  Confirmed, Sir.  Their transporters are becoming active!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::begins to experience panic::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::still searching for the security team and not finding anything except...::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::attempts to re-set the transporter frequency to keep the loop active::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath and quells it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Are they beaming something in, or out?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks a bit puzzled:: CSO: The Bridge, sir? Understood... ::Looks toward Daniel Cohen:: Cohen: Ensign, continue with my work. ::Begins to exit, slowly, wondering what she did wrong::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: OPS cannot get access to the system.  Someone has locked her out.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::turns and looks at the CNS:: CNS: Sir, are you alright?? I sensed something from you.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Don't worry about me, Lt.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'm locked out!  Attempting to override!  ::hands flying over the console as she tries to get back into the system::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Ens: Stand down Ens. Dr, we need to make sure that the diagnostic loop continues. Now!

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CNS: You sure sir?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Looks like someone or something is trying to beam out.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Ens. Cohen> ::Nods toward the CSO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Stop them.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I can't!

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Extend the shields???

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Heads back toward the Pendragon. She taps her Commbadge:: *CMO*: Combs to Yates.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  What shields ... we're docked!

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks up as her Commbadge chirps:: *Combs*: Yates here, Lieutenant. Go ahead.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: To prevent beaming out extend shields around the freighter.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Get a tractor beam on the freighter. We don't want it going anywhere.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Right away sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *CMO*: Commander, I have just been ordered to report to the Bridge. Is there a medical emergency that requires my attention?

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::taps the console and activates the tractor beam::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: Got em sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Extending shields .. ::does so::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: They aren't going anywhere now.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*Combs*: Not that I know of, but report to the Bridge. I will contact you when I learn more. Yates out.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
CO: By extending shields we prevent them from beaming off the freighter.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to come up with some rational explanation for all this::

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::looks at OPS and winks::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  But they're transporting TO the freighter, Lt, not from it!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The freighter transporters fire and on the floor on the Science Lab appear two deceased bodies from the transport freighter's crew.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
OPS: Either way they can’t transport to or from the freighter.

Host Coot says:
