Host Coot says:
Last time on the USS Pendragon....

Host Coot says:
The ship was experiencing continued problems on board while the CSO wrestled with other mysteries aboard the Station.

Host Coot says:
Lt. Combs has come under a fire of suspicion after it was "sensed" she intended to release the two creatures currently in captivity.

Host Coot says:
Relieved of duty, Combs returned to the Pendragon, but someone... or something... has activated the transporters from the mystery freighter.

Host Coot says:
And... two bodies now lie of the Science Lab floor...

Host Coot says:
<<< Resume Mission >>>

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Waiting in Sickbay wondering what is going to happen with Lieutenant Combs::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Waiting in the Turbo Lift as it heads for the Bridge::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::on the bridge wondering what the CO is going to say about her probing::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge having visions::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::on his way to the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::standing looking at the two corpses::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Any sign that the freighter's engines have come on line?

FCO_Rochelle says:
::sitting at her helm::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Watches the Turbo Lift doors open. She takes a step onto the Bridge and looks around confused::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporter signal the creatures are caught in is starting to destabilize.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
:;arrives on the bridge and takes his station:: Computer, transfer engineering to bridge.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Where did those come from?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns :: Combs: Dr. Combs, please join us.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir, the transporter signal our guests are in is destabilizing

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: I am unsure.  I figured you did it....

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Walks over to the Captain and stands at attention:: CO: Captain, Lieutenant Piper Combs reporting as ordered.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is startled back to reality as Combs emerges on the bridge::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Picks up her coffee and takes another sip of it::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Not my work. What’s happening to our friends in the diagnostics loop?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::quietly observes while monitoring ships engineering functions::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::is watching the view screen with interest::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: If the matter stream were beamed to us, could we hold the patterns in a  diagnostic loop in our own transporter system?

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: They are sapping away signal strength and we keep feeding more energy into the transporter system.  We won't be able to keep this up much longer.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  I have no idea.  I've never tried something like that

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::thinks for a moment:: Rigel: When you say sapping, what do you mean?

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: Their bio-signatures are getting stronger.  Here... look...  ::turns a console to the CSO so he can see::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  But my guess would be whatever is sapping the signal over there would do the same thing here

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose, what about it? Can we keep those two intruders in a transporter stasis?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a moment to reorient himself::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Watches everyone around the Bridge, wondering why she has to be there::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: This is something I don't understand. Why would that be happening?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Stands up from her desk and walks back into Sickbay. She was still in a bit of pain but she wanted to do something::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Combs: Doctor, I'll get straight to the point. The opinion has been offered -- and it is not relevant by whom -- that you may have intended to release the two beings currently in transporter stasis on the station. I ask you as a Starfleet officer: was that your intention?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CEO: For the time being, yes. As long as we don't experience the same type of drain. We'd need to synchronize the transfer with the freighters transporter system.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Do it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches Dr. Combs::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
<CEO=CO>

FCO_Rochelle says:
::for some reason doesn't sense Combs right at the moment::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Aye Sir

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::watches Combs closely ... puzzled that she doesn't sense anything from her now::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: I am sorry, sir? I was just assigned to the team under your orders... I... whoever said that... sir. ::Is confused at the moment::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::opens his consciousness to the entire ship.. searching::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: We need a back up plan. Prep a shuttle for launch, on remote control.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::turns around to make sure she is actually there on the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::begins transporter initiation, in a sync with the transporters of the freighter::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::puzzled ... turns and carries out the CO's orders ... has the bay prep a shuttle on launch by remote::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Combs: Doctor, I need an honest answer from you.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: Are these numbers correct? This seems like those things are alive.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::is very puzzled at this::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::Whispers:: FCO:  This is strange ... I don't sense Combs right now ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Wants to know what is going on with Combs on the Bridge, but decides to wait for a few moments::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels puzzled as he pulls his mental walls back up::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::whispers to the OPS:  OPS: Indeed it is strange I don't sense Combs either.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon transporters briefly transfer the signal and fade quickly before the signal is returned to the station.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CO: I told you, sir! I don't know why someone would say such a thing. I only went there under your orders...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Captain, I can't keep the transporter lock stable. We may have to leave them there.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain....  there's something on the ship.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Something is wrong ....

FCO_Rochelle says:
::whispers:: OPS: You think that Combs threw up a mental wall??

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: I agree with that.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: not satisfied, but with little recourse right now ::  Combs: All right, Doctor. Dismissed.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Possibly ... or is it possible that one of those beings has taken control of Dr Combs ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Keep at it, Jose.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  What exactly did you just do?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Aye Sir

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::hears a beep from her console ... checks and sees the shuttle is ready:: CO:  Captain, the shuttle is ready.

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: Yes that is also a good possibility.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CO: Understood...sir. ::Her face is now extremely red. What did she do? She leaves the Bridge and enters the Turbo Lift, which she orders to Sickbay::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::waits until Combs leaves::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::attempts the transfer again, this time matching the pattern buffers to exactly those of the freighter::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, something is wrong ...

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: I mean I could sense her and for no reason then I couldn't.  Something is very wrong.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves over to the CEO's console and watches over his shoulder::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  It was unsettling to say the least ... I should be able to sense a presence ... but I cannot sense anything ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I dislike secrets being whispered about on my bridge, what is going on?

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I agree with the OPS.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Pacing around Sickbay::

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: As far as I can tell.... Wait.  What's that?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I don't know, Sir.  I cannot sense Combs at all ... not even her presence ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::The Turbo Lift stops and the doors open. She walks out of it and heads for Sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Are you saying she's an illusion of some sort?

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir both the OPS and myself could sense Combs but suddenly neither of us could sense her presence on the bridge.  It was like it disappeared.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: The numbers, they say that those things are alive.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:   Jordan... there is something here, but it's not confined within Combs.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  What is it, Mikal?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporters act similarly, but the drain occurs much quicker this time.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::looks at the CNS::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CNS: Then what is it?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Barns: Nurse, I would like all of these Biobeds to be cleaned fully.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Whatever Jose is doing, he's frustrating it.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::looks at OPS then back to the CNS::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::Looks toward the Doctor:: CMO: Understood, Doctor. I will have them decontaminated this instant.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks to Luchena, then back to Jordan ::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All three: Is Combs a danger to this ship, or not?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  Maybe we can force its hand ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::lock on to the creatures and establishes transporter synchronicity::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  There it goes again.  From the station I think.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Enters Sickbay... still red in the face::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  What are you trying to transport?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Combs is either an illusion or something is blocking our ability to sense her presence ...

FCO_Rochelle says:
::looks at OPS::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Snaps her attention toward the door:: Combs: Lieutenant Combs. Report.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: I concur with OPS.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  The transporter signal ... We're trying to bring it onboard ...

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: This can't be right.... I mean how could it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Bring what on board?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I've got a good officer who is suddenly very unsure of her position aboard this ship. I will not take action against her without something tangible.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CNS: One of the creatures.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CNS: The being in transporter stasis. The freighters transporter can't keep holding them, so the captain ordered me to attempt to get them in our transporters buffer.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: I don't know what to report, Doctor. I was just accused of trying to release the aliens. ::Looks as if she is about to cry::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I don't think it's her fault, Captain ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Something is fighting you for it.  Or maybe it's resisting on its own.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Any luck, Jose?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I think someone or something is making us sense something within Combs ...

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: That’s what we're supposed to find out. What’s this? ::points at a scan report::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CNS: It sure looks that way - by all known laws of physics, this should have worked on my first attempt. It is not.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: I agree with OPS.  I don't think it is her doing.  I think something is controlling her or making us sense something is wrong with Combs.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporters fire yet again.  This time one of the creatures in transferred, the other remained with the station.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: I've got one of them captain

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS/FCO:  If we inform Dr. Yates, I'm sure she can check Combs over.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir and I am usually not wrong with what I sense in people but this time I can not be sure even of myself.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'd like to try probing her mind again, Captain ... If I can sense something ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is startled::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: These are scans of the transporters right?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Holding it in stasis and continuing to try and get the other one

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: All right. Send two Security officers to Sickbay.  :: taps comm panel ::  Thraxis to Yates. How are you feeling, Doctor?

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: This is something I don't like but if you need help maybe both of us can link and probe but the order has to come from the CO.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  Mikal I'm going to need your help.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::tries to re-establish the lock on the other creature::

Host Coot says:
<Rigel> CSO: Yes, Cmdr.  What is it?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Yates here. I am doing fine here, sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  No.  Dr. Yates can handle it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Is Dr. Combs there with you?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Just stands there, wondering what to say next::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::looks questionably at the CNS::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  I don't like doing it either ... but we have to know.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: She is, Captain. ::Looks her over::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS/FCO:  There is something else you two need to concentrate on

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: I understand that but......

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Rigel: There. ::points at a line of numbers and names:: That is a bacterial agent. But it’s not in its natural form. There’s mutation. ::starts running a comparison against station records::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CNS: Yes sir what is it?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  What?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS/FCO:  There is something out there.  On the station.  And we've taken something from it.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporters fire once more.  The second creature in transferred.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::nods::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  How do you know?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Combs*: Doctor Combs, we've already had one incident of an alien influence affecting the judgment of a member of this crew, as Dr. Yates can attest. There's some concern that you may be the next target. I am ordering you to undergo a full physical and psych evaluation. Dr. Yates, please see to that.

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: Cause he felt it.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Captain, I have both of the creatures firmly in our transporter buffers now. I will continue to monitor.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels a rush of adrenaline and goes red in the face::  OPS:  I can feel its anger.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Good work, Jose. Let me know the instant it looks like we cannot hold them.

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: As I can feel the CNS anger as well.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Her eyes widen as she hears the order:: *CO*: Understood...sir. ::Begins to shudder a bit::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CNS:  Strange I cannot

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Can you tell what they are?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Launch the shuttle. Take it to ten kilometers from the ship, and then put it on station keeping.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon transporter signal fades and the two life signs in it vanish.  They are too far degraded to recover.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Follow me, Lieutenant. ::She motions to Biobed One, wondering what the Captain hopes to find::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Aye.  ::launches the shuttle and pilots it, by remote, to 10 km as ordered::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Aye ::keeps his eye on his panel:: CNS: Impossible to say in their disassembled state. I can run a bio-analysis, see if the filters pick up anything strange, and possibly extrapolate what they are from that, but it will take a little time

FCO_Rochelle says:
OPS: You should now though cause it is transferring is anger from the CNS to me.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looks a little puzzled at the mutations present::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO: Sir, I've lost the transporter signal!  The two life signs are also gone!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::begins to pace the bridge, trying to walk it off::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::is trying hard to control the rising anger::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Doctor... I don't know what is going on! ::A tear moves down her eye as she takes a seat on the Biobed::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::senses their anger in her mind ... ::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Toms to bridge. I've found something over here.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CNS/CO: Captain, I've got a Starfleet match on their bio-signatures! They are two betazoids reported missing 10 years ago.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  What is it, Commander?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is startled at the comm.::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: scowls ::   OPS: Dammit. Bring the shuttle back in, then. That was going to be a floating prison cell, if we needed it.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::closes eyes and tries to clear her mind from the anger of the CNS and is beginning to grab control of it::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::brings the shuttle back in::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Lost from where?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Picks up her Medical Tricorder and begins to scan Piper:: Combs: Well then, lets prove that you are fine, Lieutenant.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels much more relaxed.  Mischievous almost::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir, maybe we can get them back ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO/CMS: Guys, this looks suspiciously like a transporter echo...possibly from long ago. But it's stable at least.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Can you identify what it was?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  Lt, do you think we may be able to rematerialize them?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: How is that possible? I thought we'd lost the pattern.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Computer: Computer, begin a full bioscan of Lieutenant Piper Combs and note any inconsistencies with her past files.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: We can try. CNS: I'd need to attempt to rematerialize them in order to do that.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Ours have yes ... but the Stations Transporters are still running ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain, we need to be very cautious.  Something is playing with us.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: There are some scans of the stations transporters over here. They show that there is a mutated bacterial agent. Its been mixed with Betazoid DNA.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Can the biofilters isolate the agent?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CNS: Mikal, is there something in particular I am looking for in Ms. Comb's bioscans?~~~ ::Decides to ask him mentally rather than contact the Captain, where Combs would be able to hear::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  I'm not sure that would be safe.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Just sits there, rocking back and forth from stress::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: It appears that they have at the very least got some of it.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CNS: Neither am I. But we could erect force fields around the transporter

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  One more question ... is there enough of the Betazoid DNA left to enable rematerialization?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  Outside of any nefarious intentions, unusual bacteria.~~~

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CSO*: We could use the transporters bio-filters to get rid of the bacterial agent, if it is a known agent.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: I don’t know, we can have a poke around and see.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CNS: Well, there is nothing out of the ordinary at all.~~~ ::Continues to perform some extra scans::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Up to the Captain.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  I'll speak to the Captain ... erect a force field around the transporters and prepare to rematerialize on my signal.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Barns: Nurse Barns, please keep an eye on Lieutenant Combs. ::She walks away and enters her office:: *CO*: Yates to Thraxis.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::moves to science:: *CSO*: What so you think? I can set up a heuristic bio-filter that should take care of it, should the captain decide to rematerialize them. I'll need to look at what you've got.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Aye. ::passes on the instructions to the lab personnel::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::finally has a handle on the anger::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, I've spoken to Cmdr Toms ... we want to try to rematerialize the two life forms in the buffer ...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the FCO curiously::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Rematerialize them where?

FCO_Rochelle says:
::something is wrong on the station::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::sends data to the CEO as well::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Science Lab 1.  We can erect a quarantine field around the lab to prevent escape of any contaminants.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::Looks over the data::

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I am sensing from the station a child being taken away by a sucker and it coincided with the CEO's efforts.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, Lieutenant Comb's biosigns do not show any irregularities what so ever. She also seems to be overwhelmed with this entire situation. I would like to request having her sent to her Quarters until we figure out what is going on.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::turns and looks at the CO::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks at the CEO:: CO:  I'd need Lt Damien's help to reconfigure the transporters ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Captain, we've got to make a decision. I can't keep them in stasis much longer

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Barns: I just... don't understand what is going on? ::More tears begin to flow::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir, they are Starfleet officers, it's our duty to try.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> Combs: I understand, Piper. Hopefully we will figure this all out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO/ OPS: Go ahead. Send a Security team armed with compression rifles to the lab as well. Have them wait outside.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::is frustrated:: CO: Sir?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::nods:: CEO:  Lt, we have some work to do.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
OPS: I'll be in the transporter room. I need to set the bio-filter manually

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Commander, where are you now?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::leaves for the transporter room::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Those things are dangerous. I don't want anyone else losing an organ.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: What's this about a child, Lieutenant?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Station Lab 21, I believe.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  There is a consciousness, much like that of a child.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: I am sensing on the station that a sucker is taking a child away and it coincided with the CEO's efforts.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir this is not an ordinary sense I am getting either.  It is different.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Send whatever information you have to our transporter room.  We're going to try a rematerialization from there.  We need to reconfigure the transporters ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Have you alerted station security?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  It's frightened now.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Barns: I hope so! I have worked so hard to get where I am!

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::arrives in the transporter room, noted the presence of security:: *OPS*: I'm in position and setting up the bio-filters. *CSO*: Send me anything new you've got to transporter room one.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: NO sir not yet but the sense is getting stronger as the child’s emotions are getting more frightened.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: Aye. ::sends the data once more to the Pendragon::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: spread hands :: FCO: Alert them, then. That's what they are there for.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CEO*: It’s on its way, but I don’t think there’s much new stuff.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::configures the bio-filters for heuristic scanning prior to rematerialization::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  Engage the force fields around Science Lab 1.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The computers chirp compliantly along with the CEO.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*Bridge*: I'm going to try and rematerialize them. Wish me luck.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The force fields pop to life and are holding steady.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Doctor, sorry to keep you waiting. I'm unwilling to relieve Dr. Combs of duty unless it can be shown she poses a clear threat to the ship. Is it your opinion that she does?

FCO_Rochelle says:
*SB_Security*: This is FCO Rochelle there is a child being abducted by someone and it is scaring the daylights out of the child please alert your security details.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::offers up a prayer::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::arrives in the transporter room:: CEO:  How's it going?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::attempts rematerialization::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::now completely opens her mind towards the child and the thing that is scaring the kid::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS: Rematerialize now!

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Sir, it is my opinion that her mental state may pose a risk to the ship at the moment. Due to these past events I believe that her emotional state is not the best, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::engages transporters ... sets the transporters to rematerialize in Science Lab 1::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  I should go down there Captain.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::makes his way to the TL::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> Combs: You have done well in your duties, Piper. Everyone here knows this.

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self: Hurry you fools the child is nearing shock at this point.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The bio-filters fire in sync with the transporters.  Four distinct bio-signs are becoming evident in the transporter buffer.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::pulls the levers down slowly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Go.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: She's a good officer. She'll take this as a punishment, and I want to avoid that. Can you give me some alternative?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the TL::  TL:  Deck 7.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I don't know if SB security is going to make it in time to the child.  Its emotions have just skied and the child is near a breakdown.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CEO:  I'm reading 4 biosigns in the buffer ... Can you confirm?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: Confirmed

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Walks over to the replicator and orders another coffee:: *CO*: I could inform her that I need her during Beta Shift today due to our current situation, in case it worsens. ::Tries to think of anything else::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges on deck 7::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  How's the signal strength?  We got enough to attempt to rematerialize?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: Holding steady

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Barns: I just don't want to be removed from duty... or worse!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporters complete their cycle and two Betazoids fall to the floor of the Pendragon Science Lab.  They are alive, but unconscious.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::arrives at the Science Lab just as security gets there.::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: All right, that'll have to do. I'll speak to her later, reassure her that this isn't a disciplinary matter. Thanks.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*Bridge*: We got them

FCO_Rochelle says:
::looks back at the CO:: CO: Sir got what???

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Understood, Captain. Yates out. ::She takes two cups of coffee into Sickbay with her::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::uses a tricorder to scan the lab:: *CO*:  Captain, we have two betazoids in the lab.  Unconscious but alive.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*Bridge*: Look like there was no transporter degeneration at all. They should be fine.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  What about the other two life-signs?

FCO_Rochelle says:
::has her question answered::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Looks toward Ashley:: CMO: Doctor, am I in trouble? ::Closes her eyes as she awaits the answer::

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self: Two betazoids???

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Are they still contaminated with the non-Betazoid DNA?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CO*:  I don't know at this stage.  I'd like to have Dr Yates check them out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Where is this child now?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CMO*:  Thraxis to Dr Yates.  Can you meet me at Science Lab 1?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles reassuringly:: Combs: Not at all, Ms. Combs. I believe that things were just taken a bit out of hand. ::Hands her a cup of coffee when she opens her eyes:: Combs: How are you feeling?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: I’ve still got two in the buffer.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*Bridge: I've still got the other two in the buffer

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Go ahead. Maintain full security alert on that deck until we know they are no longer dangerous.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: The child is still with the suckers and is now terrified and wounded in some manner but now I am detecting two of them.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks up as her Combadge beeps:: *OPS*: I will be there in one moment, Commander.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*Bridge*: Say "go" when you want me to bring them in.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  Can we get them out of the buffer?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: I still haven't heard a location, Lieutenant...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: To be honest... a bit overwhelmed, sir. ::Takes a sip::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  Nice work, Lt.  Work with the CSO to get the other two out of the buffer.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*OPS*: That’s not my specialty, Commander.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: I'm on it

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CSO*:  I'll have Lt Damien work with you.  Thraxis out.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She nods:: Combs: Which is to be expected. How about you go rest and come back during Beta Shift? I believe that is when we will need the most help today.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir their location keeps changing.  Almost as if the abductors are moving from one area to the other.  Nothing I can do to locate them.  It is almost as if they are transporting around the station.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CSO*: Is there any other relevant data you have for me before I try and bring the other two in

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: I get one location and when I look again it has changed.  I am looking for a pattern but there is none.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters his office::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CMO*:  Dr Yates, I think I really need you down here now.  We have two injured people down here!

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: This is most frustrating.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Yes... that sounds fine. ::She stands up from the Biobed, wiping the tears from her eyes. She heads for her Quarters::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::realizes an anomaly in the bio-filters and reconfigures them::

FCO_Rochelle says:
Out loud:  DAMN!!!!  ::slams fists on console::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The two Betazoids are showing clear signs of dehydration.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Do the best you can. Coordinate with station security. They're on the scene, and best equipped to handle this.

FCO_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Hears the comm and grabs a medkit:: *OPS*: I am on my way now, Commander. ::She heads out of Sickbay toward the Turbo Lift. Once she reaches it she orders it to the proper deck::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits at his desk::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::completes another scan:: *CO*:  Sir, scans show no sign of the bacterial contamination within the two Betazoids.  I think it's safe to lower the field.

FCO_Rochelle says:
::begins to input the last locations of the child and the suckers to the SB security in an effort to triangle a location and narrow down a set pattern::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CEO*: Not much. The computer can't give me a species, but it can tell me it’s the same as the first couple.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CSO*: Damien out

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::cautiously opens up his mind::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: I'm going to try and bring the other two in, are you ready?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and the doors open. She runs toward the science labs and enters them a moment later:: OPS: Are these are two troublemakers? ::Asks curiously as she bends down next to one::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::the emotions of the child build as the suckers continue to frighten the child::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes pop open in surprise::  Self:  Two of them?

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self:  If only I could communicate with the child.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
*CEO*:  Can you materialize and contain down there?  We have to get to the two in the lab quickly.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::taps his commbadge::  *CO*:  Two of them... two children.  Both terrified.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*OPS*: I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I'll beam them in here

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::grins:: CMO:  No, they appear to be normal betazoids.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::initiates rematerialization::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lays his head on his arms on the desk::

FCO_Rochelle says:
~~~CNS: Sir yes there are two of them but I can't pinpoint the location as it changes constantly.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
:: She takes out her Medical Tricorder and looks over the readings:: Self: Dehydration. ::Takes out one of the hyposprays and injects the Betazoid:: OPS: I can better treat them in Sickbay, Commander. ::Moves to the next one and injects him as well:: Self: A temporary solution.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his hands over his ears and tries to calm himself::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Get them to Sickbay but make sure they are restrained ... just in case ...

FCO_Rochelle says:
::senses the CNS and his own emotional state::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The transporters fire aboard the station and complete their cycle as well.  The two "corpses" flash brilliantly as the cycle completes itself.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: Would you mind having us transported? ::She taps her Combadge and has her medical teams prepare the containment fields::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Sorry, Doc, but the transporters are busy.  You'll have to take them the old fashioned way ...

FCO_Rochelle says:
Self: This is not good at all.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: Do you know how long that may take, Commander? ::Looks a bit annoyed, transporting these two would not be an easy task without the transporter::

FCO_Rochelle says:
::closes her eyes and breathes deeply and relaxes her mind and it extends with a calming effect  towards the CNS in an effort to help him calm his own troubled mind::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: On the station The two "corpses" sit up and begin making a noise that resembles crying....

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Sorry ... depends on the other two biosigns we have in the buffer.

Host Coot says:
