Host Coot says:
Last Time on the USS Pendragon…

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon crew began the investigation of an explosion on Deck 8 that affected the decks above and below. The work of a handful of Romulans crippled the Turbolifts, computer core, and internal sensors. Various injuries to twelve of the crew were reported, some showing exposure to radiation.

Host Coot says:
The Romulan handiwork on Dussan IV resulted in a trilithium compound capable of being altered into multiple weapons. Scans of the explosion show a radioactive version of the trilithium and the CIV Officer took a disruptor blast from a Romulan saboteur wielding a plasma-based trilithium weapon.

Host Coot says:
Inexplicably, new orders were received from Starfleet in the midst of the fracas, ordering the Pendragon to investigate an outbreak of illness on the Starfleet colony near the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Host Coot says:
SCENE: The Red Alert klaxon wails throughout the Pendragon. The XO, Cmdr Luchena, is in the Shuttlebay, having just discovered a 'bomb' strapped to a Shuttlecraft. Exiting the rear of the shuttlecraft is the ghost that has haunted the crew for weeks... Jordan.

TO_Tribble says:
::looking at the big bomb on the shuttle and wondering how to disarm it::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::in sickbay::

TO_Tribble says:
::moves closer to the shuttle and scans it::

Jordan says:
::exits the rear of the shuttle intent for the one on standby ... and escape ... ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stares in disbelief at the image::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::in main engineering, as all hell breaks loose::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley's eyes widen as the Red Alert klaxons continue to blare throughout the ship. She has no idea what is going on, but decides she will not wait to find out:: Combs: Doctor, take care of the radiation treatments. It looks like we have bigger things to deal with as well.

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::sitting at the Science I on the bridge::

Jordan says:
::Sees the XO and stops ... raises her phaser and points it at Mikal's head::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
SO: Lieutenant, interior scan. Are there any more Romulans loose on my ship?

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::accesses the internal sensors, looking for Romulan biosigns::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  What are you doing?  ::raises his hands::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Understood, Doctor. ::She begins to order the staff around as they work on the science team and Lieutenant Rochelle:: CIV: I still don't understand how they injected this into your bloodstream with a weapon.

Jordan says:
XO:  You can't stop us.  ::grins manically::  XO:  And when I leave here, you will die.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The internal scans are still somewhat damaged. Science cannot accurately determine how many Romulans are still on board.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  What are you saying?  ::starts walking towards her, arms outstretched::

Jordan says:
::fires her phaser::

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
CO: There are still Romulans aboard, Captain... but the internal sensors are damaged. I can't give you an exact number.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge. Is medical assistance needed in the Shuttlebay?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits... sensing that Jordan is near ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::dispatches armed teams to the bulkheads on decks 7-8-9::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A disruptor blast explodes above Mikal, clearly caught off-guard.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: distracted ::  SO: All right... keep scanning...

Jordan says:
::doesn't wait to look ... walks quickly towards the waiting shuttle::

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::continues internal scans::

TO_Tribble says:
TO Wagner: Hmmm.  Scans are showing it is highly radioactive, trilithium compound.   Very dangerous.  ::backs up a few steps::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Stop her!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The second shuttle power up and the bomb can be heard beeping rapidly.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: closes his eyes ::  Jordan:  ~~~ Jordan? ... Where are you? ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::runs after her::  *CO*:  Jordan is on the shuttle!

Jordan says:
::enters the shuttle and sits next to the Romulan waiting:: Romulan:  Their command codes have been disabled.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: OPS manages to lock onto the bomb, but not before it begins to explode.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Combs: I was shot by a disruptor.  Obviously it was embedded in the beam.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: eyes snap open ::  *ENG*: Engineering! Cut all power to the shuttle bay!

TO_Tribble says:
::runs toward Jordan::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She picks up a medkit and heads for the Shuttlebay::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hits the ground and covers his head::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The 'dirty bomb' explodes and rapidly expands outward, damaging the port nacelle of the Shuttlecraft it was secured to. The transporters lock onto the explosion and remaining fragments of the bomb almost simultaneously. For those trapped in the Shuttlebay, the dematerializing explosion is a spectacular sight to see.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*" Aye ::cuts power to the shuttle bay::

TO_Tribble says:
::tries to protect XO::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: Well I can see that... ::She is thrown around Sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands, darts into the turbolift :: CPU: Shuttlebay!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO finds he has been locked out of his console.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::slowly opens his eyes, afraid to discover if he is dead or alive::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::grabs the biobed:: Out loud: Damn it explosion.  ::then thinks Jordan::

Jordan says:
::smiles:: Romulan:  Launching shuttlecraft.  ::begins overriding the command codes, changing them as she goes::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: How are you?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, I've lost control of the main panel - someone's locked me out

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::As she walks along the corridor, she feels the ship rock and pushes along the wall leading herself to the Turbo Lift::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the transporters remove the explosion and bomb fragments to a safe distance, the Shuttlebay doors glide open and the Red Alert is cancelled, allowing a Shuttlecraft to escape.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Lock down the shuttlebay.  She's getting away!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Get it back, Jose.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::realizes its too late::

TO_Tribble says:
::fires at the shuttle, trying to disable it::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*:Working on it

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::tries to unlock his consol, using command codes::

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CEO: Invalid Command Code. That Command Code is no longer active.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  I think we very nearly lost our lives.  ::takes a deep breath::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, someone has changed the command codes

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Mikal? What's happening down there?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Combs: When can I get out of here.

TO_Tribble says:
TO Wagner: Are you all right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::runs a decryption algorithm on the consol::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  One shuttle has escaped.  Jordan was onboard and said some odd things to me prior to her escape.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Her eyes suddenly widen, remembering that Mikal was in the Shuttlebay:: ~~~XO: Mikal! Is everything all right? Are you okay?~~~

TO_Tribble says:
<Wagner> TO: Shaken up, but OK.

Jordan says:
::feels the conflict in her mind ... tries to quiet it down::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: Once I have completed my scans, Lieutenant. Patience.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::patiently waits::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  The Romulans got away and Jordan was with them.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: arrives outside the shuttle bay, enters ::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Can we track Jordan?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Piper sighs as she walks over to the computer to analyze the blood sample a bit closer::

Jordan says:
@::sets the shuttle's course and engages warp::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CO is overcome with ~~~extreme grief~~~.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*SO*: Lt. Nivol, track that shuttle as long as possible, and look up its prefix codes.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She pauses directly outside of the Turbo Lift:: ~~~XO: She was with them? What are they doing, using her as bait?~~~ ::She turns and heads back toward Sickbay, knowing she cannot do anything down in the Shuttlebay at the moment::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels a bit faint all of a sudden::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::senses that something is very wrong::

TO_Tribble says:
::notices XO looking odd, and goes to him::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  She was trying to give the impression that she was working with them.  ::fades out::~~~

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Why don't you sit down over here, Sir?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stops, leans on a nearby console... appearing close to tears ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The escaping shuttle winks out of view, jumping to warp.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his hand to his head::  TO:  I... thank you.  ::sits down heavily::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: Lieutenant, I've got some bad news for you. ::She walks over to her with a Medical Tricorder in hand:: CIV: It seems the trilithium was entered directly into your arm, and because the dose was powerful, you may not have complete use of your arm any longer. Luckily, we treated it fast enough before the rest of your body was harmed.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: takes a deep breath, and straightens ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::The color in her face lessens a bit:: ~~~XO: There has to be a catch. They could be forcing her to do it, to pretend so we would believe she was our enemy... or... ~~~ ::She closes her eyes for a moment:: ~~~XO:... they could be leading us into a trap.~~~

TO_Tribble says:
::goes to the replicator and replicates some water for the XO, hands it to him::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: What happened here, Mikal?

Jordan says:
@::her conscious mind wins the battle for control ... her head clears::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the Med tech::  Combs: You what?????? May have partial use of my arm????  You are daft.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::accepts the water gratefully::  TO:  Thank you again.

Jordan says:
@::looks over at her accomplice:: Romulan:  The mind imprint works ... I have full control of the Pendragon and all it's systems ... ::smiles evilly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: You will only have partial use of your arm, Lieutenant. However, you will be able to live a healthy and average life.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Combs: You're going to have to do better than that.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Combs: We are discussing my career here you know.

Jordan says:
@::is clearly having fun:: Self:  Let's see ... ::disables life support::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up at the CO::  CO:  Jordan shot at me.  Said something about us all dying.  ::rests his head in his hands then continues::  She was trying to give the impression she was with the Romulans.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: Perhaps if you were careful, you would not have been shot and infected. There is nothing more that can be done.

Host Coot says:
<OPS> *CO* Captain... I have found something...

TO_Tribble says:
XO: I'm sorry she got away.  I should have done better, Sir. ::looks sad::  This is my fault.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Give the impression? You think she was faking it?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  No.  Not at all.  Clearing the bomb was the priority.  All our lives hinged on that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Leaves engineering for the bridge, as everything is as under control as can be::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She re-enters Sickbay with the feeling as if butterflies were moving around in her stomach. Ashley walks over to Lieutenants Combs and Rochelle, noticing something was going on over there:: Combs/CIV: Is there a problem here, ladies?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shakes his head::  CO:  I can only say for sure that she wasn't herself.  ::feels queasy::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: SFI  is going to have kittens.  Admiral Romano is going to have kittens as well.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: I'll see if I can reach her.  :: closes eyes ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: You're pregnant with kittens?

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A’Daisy> *CO* Captain, it was a command code used to override the systems ::gasps audibly over the comm::  Yours.

TO_Tribble says:
::looks around the shuttlebay for any signs of damage from the bomb::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: ~~~ Jordan? Answer me, sweetheart. Where are you? ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Enters the bridge and goes to his consol::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Life support systems start acting haywire.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks over the Civilian curiously, waiting for some sort of explanation::

Jordan says:
::can ~~~ hear ~~~ the CO but chooses to ignore him.::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels dizzy::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: No sir I am just saying.  ~~~CMO: SFI and my Admiral are going to have kittens when they find out that I have partial use of one arm.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::notes the life support failure and investigates::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~::weakly::  CMO:  I think I'm sick Ashley~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: ~~~ Jordan... please... I need to know you are all right. ~~~

Jordan says:
@::sends a comm to the Pendragon::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::concentrates on her arm and makes it move::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: opens his eyes ::  XO: She's not responding.

Jordan says:
@::engages helm control ... starts turning the ship in circles::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: It is unfortunate, Lieutenant, but things happen. I assure you that we will do whatever we can to repair the damage. However, it may take some time, so please be patient. ::She pauses for a moment:: ~~~XO: Can you make it to Sickbay or do you need me to come to you?~~~

Host Coot says:
<CPU> CEO: Invalid Command Code. That Command Code is no longer active.

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::continues to monitor the internal sensors, feeling a bit bored::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO: I'll come.~~~  ::unsteadily gets to his feet::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Get Commander Luchena to Sickbay, and have yourself looked at, too.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Jose, do we have full control of the ship yet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm locked out of everything I need to do my job. Care to hit the reset button on the command codes?

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Commander, if you'll come with me, please? ::goes to XO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: leaves the shuttlebay as he speaks ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Yes.  ::follows the TO::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: I'll have you transported here, Mikal.~~~ ::She looks around at the Biobeds:: Barns: Janice, have Biobed Two ready to receive a patient.

Jordan says:
@::Hails the Pendragon again ... impatient she isn't getting an answer::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::getting very frustrated at this whole thing::

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A'Daisy> COMM: Shuttle: Uh, yes?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Computer: Computer, transport Commander Mikal Luchena to Sickbay. ::She opens up a Medical Tricorder and heads for the Biobed::

Jordan says:
::looks angry:: COMM: Pendragon:  Where is your Captain?

TO_Tribble says:
::watches XO, hoping XO will be OK::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: I'll try.   *CPU*: Computer: recognize Thraxis, Albaron. Master command code Thraxis two two seven epsilon beta. Acknowledge.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The XO is transported to Sickbay.

TO_Tribble says:
::goes to sickbay, as ordered::

Host Coot says:
<CPU> ::beeps::  CO: Command Code Master Thraxis two two seven epsilon beta was changed by Captain Albaron Thraxis 8 minutes, 37 seconds ago from Shuttlebay console 524.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: scowls ::  *CEO*: Jose, I think Jordan plucked the master code out of my mind and used it to override. Can we shut down the computer core and reboot from protected backup?

Jordan says:
@COMM: Pendragon:  You tell your Captain that if I do not speak with him in 5 minutes I will destroy your vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: we can try.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Do it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to shut down the computer core::

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A'Daisy> COMM: Shuttle: Uh, okay.....

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She watches Mikal materialize in the Biobed and begins to scan him, hoping that it is not anything serious:: XO: Where does it hurt?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: exits the TL at Deck Three -- not wanting to get stuck in a dead car when the computer goes down ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: All systems on the Pendragon power down.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: starts climbing towards the Bridge via the Jeffries tubes ::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::lays there and thinks about the entire set of events that led up to her being injured::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: It is fairly dark, even with the emergency lighting on.

Jordan says:
@::reinstates Life Support::

Jordan says:
@::she doesn't want them to die ... yet .... ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::maintains life support, and begins the rebooting process:: *CO*: It looks like it's working. You'll need your self and the XO to reset the command codes.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Ashley as he materializes in sickbay.  Gratefully closes his eyes::  CMO:  I don't hurt, I just feel dizzy and sick.

TO_Tribble says:
::notices CMO is concentrating on XO, watches::

Host Coot says:
<OPS> *CO* Captain, you have a comm... from the shuttle.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Good work, Jose. I'll join you on the Bridge in a minute.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She watches as the lights and containment fields power down:: Self: Damn it! ::She turns to her staff:: Medics: Get those containment fields back up! I don't want this radiation spreading everywhere!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stops :: *OPS*: Put it through.

TO_Tribble says:
::assists medics::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::opens his eyes::  CMO:  Radiation?

Jordan says:
@::sets the Pendragon on a collision course::

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A’Daisy> ::sheepishly:: *CO* Yes Sir...  ::pauses::  Also, a collision course with the station has been laid in. The helm has been locked out and speed is increasing. Impact in… :cue dramatic music:: 3 minutes.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She sighs and nods her head:: XO: Trilithium radiation. It seems the Romulans were able to use it in their weapons. It seems you are experiencing the effects. ::She takes out a hypospray full of Adrenaline and injects the XO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Comm is put through to the CO.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She taps her Combadge quickly:: *CEO*: Sickbay to Engineering...

Jordan says:
@COMM: CO:  Hello, Captain.  Are we having fun yet?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath to try and ease the dizziness::  CMO:  I followed those two all through the ship.  I touched the other one.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Jose, get the thrusters under control.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: working on it

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Jordan*: Jordan? What are you doing? Return to the ship, let's talk this out.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: That's how you were contaminated I would assume, Mikal. ::She smiles at him:: XO: You weren't hit by any of their weapons fire, were you?

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::his attention perks up as he sees a blip on his monitor:: CO: Captain, I'm detecting a single Romulan on Deck 17... but his biosign is... abnormal.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::relaxes::  CMO:  No.

Jordan says:
@COMM: CO:  I don't think so, Captain.  Because in 2 minutes ... you will all die ... and we will be well avenged for your interference.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::remembers something and tenses up again::  CMO:  Lt. Rochelle was though.  How is she?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to regain thruster control::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*SEC*: Security to Deck 17.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Jordan*: I don't understand, sweetheart. Who have we interfered with?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::makes an attempt to sit up on the bio bed::

TO_Tribble says:
*CO* On my way, Sir. ::makes way to Deck 17, ordering other security officers to join her::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO has successfully managed to regain thruster control.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Then you'll be fine. You'll have to take it easy for a while, but the radiation is treatable. ::She injects him with a pain reliever and looks toward Rochelle:: XO: The radiation was injected into her system directly. Luckily she was brought here in time before it shut down her entire body. However, her arm will have limited mobility for now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: We have thrusters. Working on primary propulsion now

Jordan says:
COMM: That is no longer important.  ::gasps as the conflict within her own mind flares again::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Damn it.  ::struggles to sit up so he can see her::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CIV: Lieutenant, please remain where you are.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::gets slightly dizzy but remains sitting::

TO_Tribble says:
::arrives at Deck 17, looks around, pulls out scanner::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Jordan*: Jordan, come back. Come back to the ship... back to me. Whatever is wrong, we can work this out.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CO ~~~feels~~~ Jordan struggling with her inner demons as well.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Combs: I am not going anywhere at the moment.  Room is moving to fast.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Jordan*: Please, sweetheart. You know that I love you. Come back.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: My Med Techs will be monitoring her blood sample. They'll find a way to repair the damage. It may just take some time. ::She watches as the containment fields power back up again::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::works on regaining primary engines::

Jordan says:
@::for a short moment her old self comes through:: *CO*:  Albaron ... help me ... Can't control this any longer .... ::snaps upright as her conscious mind wins again::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: ~~~ Jordan... whatever you are fighting... you can beat it. You're strong. Borrow my strength as well. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the CIV looking somewhat beat up then lays back down::  CMO:  Why is it whenever I'm in command someone gets killed, or nearly so.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::can still sense that things are very wrong::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: concentrates on sending powerful feelings of love and support to Jordan ::

TO_Tribble says:
::picks up a Romulan lifesign, faintly::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Deck 17 is bathed in near complete darkness. Shallow breathing can be heard coming from the shadows.

Jordan says:
@*CO*:  Nice try, Captain, but it won't work.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: This wasn't your fault, Mikal. This entire situation is out of control; you could not have done anything differently to change the outcome.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels badly for burdening her with his insecurities::  CMO:  I know.

TO_Tribble says:
::advances carefully toward the shallow breathing, making sure the team is protecting her::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir It was not your fault.  Just remember that sir.  I was doing my job.

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::sits at his station, wishing he were in Engineering... damn Starfleet personnel giving him a science assignment::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles:: CIV:  I understand that, Lt.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*Jordan*: Jordan... fight it. Whatever has you, fight it. Turn the shuttle around and come back to the ship.

Jordan says:
*CO*:  Not today.  ::cuts the comm::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: under his breath :: Dammit!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: You'll need to relax for a bit, Lieutenant. ::She smiles toward her::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: continues up the Jeffries tube ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO manages to regain engine control, but the Pendragon rocks with phaser fire.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: If it means that my arm will heal faster then you got a deal.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: emerges onto the Bridge, just in time to be knocked off his feet ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels the rocking::  CMO:  What's going on?  Do you know?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Report!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, we got primary propulsion back on line...and it looks like we need it ::holds on::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::grabs the bed:: Out loud: Now what?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gets to the command chair ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: It could help the healing process, yes. ::She plants her feet on the deck a bit harder:: XO: I seem to be kept out of the loop at times down here. Would you care to find out?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps, or rather falls out of the turbolift from the rocking, after having done some security sweeps::

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A'Daisy> CO: Sir, the shuttle has circled past and fired on us when our shields were down. Damage to the Starboard Nacelle.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Can I go to the bridge?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::lays back down but is still thinking of the sensation she got that still is making her uneasy::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Yes, but you are restricted to Bridge duty for the time being.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Shields up! Try to disable the shuttle's engines!

Jordan says:
@::turns the shuttle around for another pass ... targets the bridge and fires::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits up::  CMO:  Thank you Ashley.  For everything.  ::brushes her cheek with his hand::

TO_Tribble says:
::the security team comes upon the Romulan::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose, get me the prefix codes for that shuttle.

Host Coot says:
<OPS_A'Daisy> CO: Sir, with the system reboot, it'll be another minute

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::tries to throw the shields up before the phaser fire hits them::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: We haven't got a minute!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Just bring Jordan home to us. ::She takes his hand for a moment, holding it on her cheek before letting it go::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: Newind reporting, sir..

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::keys in a sequence to determine the shuttle code:: CO: working on it. 

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::grabs the bed again::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles warmly at the CMO, then gets to his feet::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Feel better.  ::quickly exits sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Get the prefix codes for that shuttle from Mr. Damien, and take control of it.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
XO: Thank you sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I've got them ::sends them to the TO::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The shuttle phaser fire tears several small holes into the bridge, emergency bulkheads spring to life before anyone is sucked out into space.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::gets the codes and starts activating them, distracted momentarily by the new holes in the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head as the ship shakes yet again and moves over to the computer::

Jordan says:
@::veers away from the Pendragon and heads out into space ... prepares to engage warp::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: ducks as molten metal rains down ::

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::covers his face from flying sparks::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Shut down the shuttle's engines, now!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a turbolift::  TL: Bridge.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::as soon as he can, sends the shutdown sequence code to the shuttle::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Can we get a tractor beam on the shuttle?

Jordan says:
@::engages warp engines::

TO_Tribble says:
::checks the Romulan for weapons::

Host Coot says:
<CPU> TO: Command Code authorization insufficient to complete request.  Captain-level access or higher required.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::reinforces the structural integrity of the ship, patching the places missing bulkhead::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CPU: What?!?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: You're up, Capitan.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan's shuttle jumps to warp, vanishing from sight.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CPU: Computer! Recognize Thraxis, Albaron. Master command code Thraxis two two seven epsilon beta. Acknowledge.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The computer beeps accordingly.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sighs:: CO: It's too late.. she warped out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at the screen :: All: Dammit!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: Have you always been a member of Starfleet Intelligence, Maria? ::She decides to make conversation as she analyzes the blood sample::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges from the lift onto the chaos of the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits heavily ::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks to Mikal, slowly, and nods to him::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::opens her eyes:: CMO: Yes I have.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::glances up as Luchena enters, then back to work::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Captain's chair squeaks, making a loud, rather rude, noise.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks to the Captain than back at the TO::  TO:  What's happened here?

SO_LtJG_Nivol says:
::chuckles a bit at the sound of the noise.. trying not to laugh out loud::

TO_Tribble says:
::finding no weapons on the Romulan, checks what is making him breathe shallowly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: Has your entire family? It seems I have seen your last name around during my Intelligence days.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: Family is in the community.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
XO: I'm not exactly sure myself.. I just got here.. and then I was ordered to try and shut down a shuttle, but it warped away before we could.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The remaining Romulan on Deck 17, is dying... life-signs are fading.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  A shuttle did this?  ::gestures to the damage on the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in a dull, tired voice ::  TO: Mr. Newind... status of the Romulan intruders. Do we have them all in custody?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: How large is your family? ::She magnifies the sample and places some anti-bodies into it, watching them work::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::incredulous::  CO:  Jordan did this?!

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: ::does a quick sweep:: I see one on Deck 17, but he's dieing

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: I have 8 sisters and 1 brother all in SFI including my parents.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is further stunned to hear about a surviving Romulan.  Stands there with his mouth hanging open::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in the same voice ::  CEO: Jose... is the ship ready to depart?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: One big secretive family. ::She says with a slight smile as the anti-bodies do their job::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*Tribble*: I'm executing a site-to-site transport on the Romulan. Stand by.. CO: Want him in sickbay?

TO_Tribble says:
::TO Wagner finds a trilithium bomb near the Romulan.::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: Yes sir that we are.  Have you met my companion bird by the way?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: No. We've got gapping holes in the ship. We need dry dock. But we can leave if you insist

TO_Tribble says:
*TO* Lt. Newind, we have another bomb here.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::Stops and looks around the bridge, wondering who else heard it:: Self: Bombs?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CIV: I haven't had the pleasure. ::She takes several of the anti-bodies she used on the sample and mixes them into a vial:: CIV: It looks like I may have found the right antidote.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Patch us up as best you can, Jose, and prepare for departure. We have a date with the folks on Elegy IV.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The final bomb is similar to the others, but this one has not been armed.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: That is wonderful news.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is completely stunned to hear of another bomb::  CO: Captain?

TO_Tribble says:
*TO* It is unarmed.  What do want us to do with it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye aye Sir

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: Sir, they've found a bomb, unarmed.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::relaxes ever so slightly::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: When we get this mess straightened out I will bring him by some time for you to meet him.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*Tribble*: Stand by.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: We have a mission to complete, Mr. Luchena.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She walks over to the CIV, places the vial into the hypospray, and then injects her with it:: CIV: That would be great. Now.. lets hope this works.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands, slowly ::  All: I'll be in my ready room.  :: exits ::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Outloud: Well, what do I do with the bomb?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::nods:: CMO: Hopefully yes.  I do have a career and a life to live and a side mission as well.

TO_Tribble says:
*TO* Sir?  We're waiting.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Have it analyzed.  ::sits down still not quite believing all this::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*Tribble* Take it and have it analyzed.. ::sighs::

Jordan says:
~~~ @::suddenly snaps back to normal and sends out a scream of absolute fear as she realizes she has outlived her usefulness to the Romulans:: CO:  Help me, Albaron, I am about to DIE!  They are going to kill me! ~~~
