Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon …

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon came under attack from the Romulan vessel from which they plucked their CSO and Jordan. While Sickbay raced to stabilize and heal, the Tactical department managed to keep the Romulans at bay.

Host Coot says:
However, the Romulan vessel displayed characteristics that were clearly not Romulan. A self-repairing vessel apparently linked to Jordan. A mysterious microchip surgically implanted. Telepathic links between human and machine. There is clearly far more on that vessel than meets the eye.

Host Coot says:
And, somehow, through all of this, the beloved FCO managed to find time to wind up preggers…. With kittens….

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Doctor Yates sits behind her desk within her office, looking over the medical reports that she has completed. Jordan's chip had been removed, and she was sleeping at the moment. For now, she couldn't do anything for anyone. Her patients just needed to rest::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: in his Ready Room, still reviewing logs ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges from the turbolift onto the bridge, wearing a fresh uniform and a grim expression::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::emerges from the turbolift, treading softly to the Ready Room; rings the chime::

Jordan says:
::lies in sickbay the worse for wear::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches Newind::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Door:  Enter.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon has been docked with DS14 for approximately 2 hours.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::in his quarters, looking at the stars::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::enters, and stands at attention in front of the Captain:: CO: Sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::In main engineering::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stands up from behind her desk, picks up her cup of coffee, and enters Main Sickbay, where she moves over toward Jordan's Biobed::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: At ease, Mr. Newind. Please, sit down.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  How are repairs coming along Chief?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::at her station making sure it is functioning properly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley moves her fingers along the bio controls, checking Jordan's vitals::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sits down::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*XO*: Things are about as well as can be expected

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: The communications log indicates that you transmitted a compressed databurst to Starfleet Intelligence. I am wondering why you did this, and what the contents of that databurst were.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Numerous reports continue to pour in throughout the ship, but the majority all detail small problems. Ship functions are at 96%. Shields suffered the worst of it, but have improved to 50%.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Why don't you take a break and let the station engineers work on it?  You've been at it for hours.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: It was our sensor logs from the time the Romulan ship attacked us, to the time I sent it. I sent it because I thought higher ups should know about that ship, and I didn't think SFC would so anything quick enough.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes in a deep breath as her thoughts begin to turn to other things. However, she quickly turns them back to Jordan, laying there on the Biobed:: ~~~Jordan: I'm sorry you had to go through this...~~~

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: Sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*XO*: And do what?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Sleep?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: I see. Your initiative is commendable, Mr. Newind, but I would remind you that Starfleet and this vessel do both have a chain of command. In the future, please discuss such transmissions with a superior officer. Is this clear?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan's lifesigns are stable and improving slowly, although it may be a few days before she is turning cartwheels.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*XO*: I'm not ready for sleep. It hasn't been that long

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: It is.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: She seems to be getting better. ::She moves toward the CMO and Jordan::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::doesn't think the CO is a very good example of following regulations right now::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Thank you. And thank you also for your excellent work during the battle. I have no doubt that your skill contributed greatly to our survival.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Okay Jose.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Combs: She will, and I'm very thankful for that. ::She says with a smile:: Combs: She won't be the same though, I doubt anyone would after what she went through.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: I'm not worried about that. I didn't deal Jordan's survival much help.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A Comm from the Station Commander is coming in for the CO.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  You might as well go off duty.  We're not going anywhere for a while.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
XO: You sure sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  FCO:  Absolutely.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: I see them sometimes still, the people that have gone. Do you know what that is like?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: I hope the Captain will understand that...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Nonetheless, you have my thanks.  :: looks at his comm panel ::  Dismissed.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Station Commander to speak to you.  Put it through to your ready room?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Combs: I believe he does, but I'll reinforce that tid-bit when the time comes.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
CO: I have a report on that - my opinions on the matter. I'll forward it to you when it is finished. ::stands up, and salutes the Captain, before taking his leave::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
XO: Thank you sir.  I think I will look in on Jordan before I go to quarters::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Yes, please do, Mikal.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: Yes, we do. We live in a constant state of the unknown. We do not know if we are dead or alive. None of us have figured that out yet

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::in the Crystal Cave having a quiet meal::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::steps back on to the Bridge, and sighs::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::routes the comm through::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: Have I ever looked you up? The real you?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the TO curiously::  TO:  What's happened?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Combs: If her vitals change in any way, notify me immediately. I'm going to take a walk for a few minutes.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::turns the helm over to the stand in and heads for the TL and sickbay::

Jordan says:
::begins to dream bad dreams::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: Some of us you did, but the pain was too much, and so we stopped you. We do not think that you should do that. It will achieve no useful end.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: Then what shall I do for you?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::shakes his head:: XO: I was informed of protocol.

Jordan says:
::dreams of someone left behind ... she must go back ... she must!::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  By Thraxis?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: waits for the comm to come through ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She exits Sickbay and begins to walk down the corridor, just thinking to herself::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::moves slowly towards his console:: XO: Indeed.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::enters the TL and orders it to sickbay::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A disheveled looking Cmdr appears on the RR console.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: This is our thanks to you. We ask that you let us do what we can for you. We will protect you.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::glares at the ready room door::  Self:  What nerve...

Jordan says:
<In sleep> Self:  I must go back!  I can't leave them there ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr: Commander, how can I help you?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
XO: Don't.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
XO: I didn't say anything to you either..

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::  TO:  Don't what?  Anything about what?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::steps out of the TL on the sickbay deck and heads for sickbay and to see Jordan::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::growing increasingly angry::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Her thoughts move through several different situations, wondering what Starfleet Command would do to the Captain and how others would recover::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::enters Sickbay and looks for the CMO::

Host Coot says:
<Cmdr_Westfelt> *CO* Captain... SFC is asking some curious questions as to your whereabouts over the past few hours? Specifically, why you never showed at Elegy III.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::rests his hand on his console, using them to support some of his weight:: XO: Assuming you haven't seen the communication logs, I sent a communiqué to Starfleet Intel... without telling you or the captain.  ::stops:: Careful.. you're upsetting the both of us.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She turns at the sound of the Sickbay doors:: FCO: May I help you, Lieutenant?

Jordan says:
<Screams out loud in her sleep> All: Someone left behind, go back .... I can't leave ... must return ....

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::a blank stare comes over him. He wonders if he left the iron plugged in::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Dammit.  All right.  ::sits down and tries to subliminate his emotions::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::Turns toward Jordan for a moment and makes a note on the console before turning back to the FCO::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::tries to help Mikal calm down::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan's pulse and blood pressure are increasing. Her ECG's are going haywire, recalling painful memories..

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::can't completely master himself::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr_Westfelt: I'll be very frank with you, Commander. I disregarded those orders. Two of my people had been abducted, and I was unable to get Starfleet Command to see the need to recover them. I went and got them back.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She eventually wanders into the Crystal Cave, dead set on getting herself a piece of cheese cake and a fresh cup of coffee::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::sees that woman arrive, and tries to hide his face in his soup bowl::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
Outloud: A calm island, with subtle waves. Palm trees moving gently with the breeze. All is calm there.

Jordan says:
::begins thrashing about as she dreams::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr_Westfelt: In the process, I believe we have uncovered a serious threat to the security of the Federation. It seems that the Romulans, or a faction at least, had found and is using some Borg technology.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::flashes back to his home on Betazed::

Host Coot says:
<Cmdr_Westfelt> ::fails to hear the CO::  *CO* Abducted? ::stammers::  I...  We... ::stammers again:: What? There is no report of abductions.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::realizes it will be empty without her::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::distress increases::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She suddenly feels as if the tension in the cave has risen. Ashley begins to gaze around the room, and sets her eyes on the Counselor::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::Imagines undead zombie Romulans that regenerate::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Lt. Combs: Just wanted to drop by and see how Jordan is but I need to speak with her mentally to calm her down.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
Self:  Please don't see me....

Host Coot says:
<Cmdr_Westfelt> ::looks up::  *CO* Borg? You can't be serious.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> FCO: I'm sorry, Lieutenant, but Commander Thraxis needs to be left alone for the time being. Those are Doctor Yates' orders.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet:: TO:  I'm sorry Brian.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to walk toward his table::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr_Westfelt: I reported the abductions to Starfleet Command. My request to recover my people was denied.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr_Westfelt: And yes, I am quite serious about the Borg.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
XO: It's nothing Mikal. Go take a break.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::walks over to Jordan and puts one hand on her shoulder:: Jordan: It is Maria Rochelle please relax and tell me what has happened? Please tell me.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::goes to the bridge weapons locker and flings it open::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::looks up in surprise at Mikal::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::removes a phaser rifle and points it at the ready room door::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> FCO: Lieutenant, please move away from Commander Thraxis. She is in no condition to be spoken with. ::She moves toward the FCO::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
XO: Mikal. Don't. ::moves towards his friend::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::flings the rifle over his shoulder::  TO:  Just kidding.  I'm going to the shooting range.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She reaches the Counselor's table and pauses:: CNS: Is this seat taken?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::exhales in relief:: XO: You scared me for a moment.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves away towards the turbo lift::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::walks back to his console, still watching Mikal::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Try to relax while I'm away.  ::gives the TO a cold smile and enters the turbo lift::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::saddened by what has happened to her friend Jordan reluctantly turns away but really doesn't want to leave her but begins to walk towards the sick bay doors::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::nods and forces a smile::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 8.

Host Coot says:
<Cmdr_Westfelt> *CO* Fine. I am the last to know apparently. Regardless, you are to make for Elegy III to fulfill your duties. Admiral Kumar will contact you once you reach the colony. He is expecting you within the next 72 hours.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::fiddles with the settings on the rifle::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Cmdr_Westfelt: Understood, Commander. Thraxis out.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::realizes that ignoring her won't make her go away::  CMO:  No, its not.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Thraxis to Dr. Yates.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::as soon as the doors slide shut:: *Security*: I need two officers. One is to stay at the firing range, and watch Luchena - the other shadows him. ::feels a bit of regret, but has already decided it necessary:: Don't be obvious. Don't let him know.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes a seat and looks into the man's eyes for a moment:: CNS: I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. ::She closes her eyes for a moment:: *CO*: Yates here, Captain.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::looks very surprised::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges on deck 8.  Heads for the Crystal Cave::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::Maria goes down the corridor and back on to the TL and heads for her quarters and her companion::

Jordan says:
::continues thrashing as she dreams: <out loud> ALL:  I have to go back NOW!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She shakes her head slightly and injects Jordan with another sedative::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: It seems that, for the moment at least, I am to retain my command. We have been ordered to proceed with the mission to Elegy III. Given what we know of the situation there, do we have aboard the personnel and materiel to do what needs to be done when we get there?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::a security officer passes by Luchena, and slowly stops, turning to watch Luchena::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the Crystal Cave and lifts the phaser rifle::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::notices Luchena::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::dives under a table::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Silence falls over the Crystal Cave as the faces turn to face the XO.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::another now directly behind Luchena, immediately jumps Luchena, removing the rifle from his grasp::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Yes we do, Captain. I am not fully aware of the problems with the inhabitants fully, but will be able to better do so when we reach the colony.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Very good.   :: pause ::   Is Jordan strong enough to have a visitor?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::doesn't fight back, just deeply regrets not getting a shot off::

Jordan says:
::stops thrashing about ... relaxes marginally::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns toward Mikal and stands up from where she is:: *CO*: Standby, sir. ::She turns to Mikal:: XO: Are you insane?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::upon entering her quarters WindFire immediately feels and senses the sadness of his master and goes to her shoulder to add some comfort::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::slowly turns his head towards Ashley but doesn't respond::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gives the comm panel a quizzical look ::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::crawls out from under the table::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::the security officer taps his combadge and calls in two other officers to help; lifts up Luchena carefully::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::sitting on her couch she begins to cry silently for Jordan and what has happened to her::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::slumps defeatedly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She walks over to Mikal and turns to Security:: Security: I will take Commander Luchena from here, gentlemen. ::She takes him by the arm:: *CO*: I'm sorry, Captain. Yes, please feel free to go and see her.

Jordan says:
::in her dream state suddenly sees an image of someone familiar.  Mumbles in her sleep:: Self:  Rofax ... must go back ... get Rofax ....

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::approaches the group of tactical officer::  Security officer:  What are you going to do with him?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::Newind receives an immediate report, and leans against a bulkhead::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Thank you, Doctor. Thraxis out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Thraxis to Damien.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::attempts to break away and cowers::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::the security officer shrugs at Simmons, and watches the doctor take the crazy guy. "Nothing, I guess," he replies in confusion::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She watches Jordan closely:: Self: Rofax?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  No.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: Damien here

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Commander, we need to have a small discussion. ::She stares at him with a hard face::

Jordan says:
::keeps mumbling things about Rofax and the Romulan ship::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Jose, we've been ordered to complete the mission at Elegy III. How soon can we be ready to leave?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the CNS::  CNS:  Don't let her take me.  She'll hurt me again.  ::backs away::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::steps closer::  CMO:  I can take care of him.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: How much do I have to push it? We've taken substantial damage

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::Maria has cried her self to sleep with WindFire settling down on her shoulder putting his head next to her temple to help her rest mentally::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She lets go of Mikal's arm:: XO: You know what, this is done. At this point we're no longer ANYTHING. ::She exits the Crystal Cave, but pauses for a moment:: Security: You may have him. ::She then fully leaves the cave::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: We need dry dock

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::crumples to the floor::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes, annoyed with Mikal and through with all of the drama. Ashley heads for a Turbo Lift::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::the security officers, three of them now, hoist Luchena back up::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Yates to Thraxis.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: That's not an option at the moment, Jose. We'll need all the speed we can muster. Priorities are warp drive and life support -- we may be taking on refugees. I'll need a report on our state of readiness within the hour. Thraxis out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, I would like to suggest having Commander Luchena removed from duty until having completed a full psychological evaluation with Counselor Simmons. He just entered the Crystal Cave with a phaser rifle in hand.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::moves her head back and forth sensing the pain and suffering on the ship but from who or whom::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*Security*: Take him to his quarters.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to Sickbay::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan sits bolt upright in bed, yanking sensors off of her in the process.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::wonders how to work that miracle::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: heavy sigh ::   *CMO*: All right, Doctor, log your recommendation and I'll sign off on it. Where is Commander Luchena now, please?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::the security officers look to Simmons, and then to Luchena before shrugging and begin escorting him as told::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::WindFire quickly moves to the couch as his master stands up quickly fully awake::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She jumps at the sudden burst of life from Jordan::

Jordan says:
::looks around her ... knows what she must do ... she must get back to the Romulan ship::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
*CO*: Sir I am sensing a lot of pain and suffering.  What has happened?

Jordan says:
Combs:  I must go ... ::goes to get up from the biobed::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She exits the Turbo Lift and walks down the corridor toward Sickbay:: *CO*: Commander Luchena is currently under the care of Counselor Simmons. I will contact the Counselor and make the arrangements.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Jordan: Go where, Jordan? ::She sounds sympathetic::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::receives an odd report, before checking it himself:: *CMO*: Check Lieutenant Rochelle. Personnel sweeps just turned up a discrepancy between her current bio scans and the last one.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Understood. Keep me apprised, please. Thraxis out.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*TO*: What do you mean, Lieutenant? ::She enters Sickbay and raises an eyebrow at the site of Jordan sitting right up::

Jordan says:
::grabs Combs by the throat:: Combs:  You will let me go, now!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, how far are you from Sickbay? ::She moves toward the location of a phaser and grasps it under the counter:: Jordan: Jordan, how are you feeling?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*CMO*: You should check on it - I'm not quite sure about it, but it's not the pregnancy.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She allows herself to be grasped:: Jordan: Where do you need to... go?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*FCO*: Lt. Rochelle, this ship seems to have transformed itself into one huge festering cesspool of pain and suffering. I could not begin to guess where the epicenter is at the moment. We're all simply going to have to grit our teeth for a while. Thraxis out.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*TO*: I'm a bit busy at the moment, Lieutenant. Give me a few minutes.

Jordan says:
Combs:  Take me back to my ship.  If I don't go, he will die!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: I'm still in my Ready Room, Why?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
*CO*: Understood sir.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
*CMO*: Understood. Sensors show her in your sickbay, so I leave it to you.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::sighs again::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*TO*: Actually, contact Lieutenant Servek, she will take care of it. ::She moves toward Jordan:: Jordan: Who is going to die? *CO*: She is awake.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::the security officers arrive in front of the XO's quarters::

Jordan says:
::looks around again:: Combs:  Where is Luchena?

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
Security:  I can handle him from here.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves Piper aside so she is now face and face with Jordan:: Jordan: Mikal is currently indisposed.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO stubs his toe on the doorjamb as he exits his office.

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::rolls his eyes:: *Lt. Servek*: Lieutenant Newind to Lieutenant Servek. Sensors show a discrepancy in Lt. Rochelle's bioscans. Please check them out.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CMO*: Understood. On my way.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG Servek> *TO*: As you wish, Lieutenant Newind.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::decides to take Lunch Box's advice and sleep for a while, before performing the healing ritual::

Jordan says:
CMO:  You will bring him to me.  I must speak with him.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
<WildFire> Master::~~~ What is happening?  I sense much pain and suffering as do you what has happened?~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Jordan, do you know who I am?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: exits Ready Room to the Bridge, looks around ::  TO: Mr. Newind, you have the conn.  :: enters the turbolift ::  TL: Sickbay.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Wild Fire: I do not know but I don't like what I am feeling at all.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She enters Sickbay and turns to a medical console, looking over the FCO's biosigns::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters his quarters::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::salutes the captain wearily as he exits, before turning to his console again::

Jordan says:
CMO:  Of course I do, Ashley ... ::smiles an insincere smile::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::guides the XO to a chair::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
WindFire: You stay I am going back to sickbay.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Then tell me what's going on, and then I can help you. ::Makes a note of the fake smile::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::leaves engineering for his quarters::

Jordan says:
CMO:  I left someone behind on my ship ... he must be recovered.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::slowly lifts his head and looks the CNS in the eye::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: enters Sickbay, moves to Jordan's bedside ::  Jordan: Hello, sweetheart. It's good to see you awake.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Someone? Who? ::She turns toward Albaron::

Jordan says:
::ignores the CO:: CMO:  And to recover him, I need Luchena.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::leaves her quarters and senses that the feeling she had earlier was not centered on the ship, but focused on everyone aboard the ship almost as if it were a ghostly presence::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: Who do you need to recover?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly and without hope::  CNS:  I tried.  I did everything I could think of.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: He won't be any help to you right now, Jordan. But I will get him for you... if you tell me who it is.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::continues on to sick bay but can't shake the eerie feeling of the ghostliness of the ship something is definitely wrong::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A forcefield pops into place.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: grabs Jordan by the arm :: Jordan: Jordan, you're not well enough to go anywhere. Now sit down, and explain to me what is going on.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: If you'll wait here, I promise I'll have Luchena brought to you.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emotions coming to the surface::

Jordan says:
CO:  If you wish to live, you will release me now.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::desperately::  CNS:  She's ice.  That's not a life.  ::reaches out and takes the CNS's hand::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Jordan: Jordan... it's me, sweetheart. It's Albaron. Now, please, sit down and tell me what's going on.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::She enters the CMO's office at picks up the blinking chip:: Self: What is going on with this?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::walks over to the CO and Jordan’s position::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG Servek> FCO: Lieutenant, I need to speak with you at this very moment. The Captain is quite capable of speaking with his wife.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:

Jordan says:
::walks into the CMO's office:: Combs:  You will give that to me.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Jordan: What is going on?  Why are you doing?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: gets between Jordan and Combs :: Jordan: That's enough, Jordan. Sit down, please. Now.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> Self: What is going on! Get it off! Off! ::She tries to throw the chip from her hand::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
XO:  Mikal...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sobbing::

Jordan says:
::looks at Combs with a smile on her face ... shoves Thraxis out of the way and moves towards Combs, completely intent on the chip in her hand::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes a hypospray full of a sedative, and moves directly behind Jordan, attempting to inject her with it::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::sits on the side of the XO's chair and puts his arm around him::

Jordan says:
::senses Yates behind her ... turns and backhands her hard ... then turns back to Combs::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: grabs Jordan in a bear hug, holds her for Yates ::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Security team to Sickbay on the double!

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
XO:  It will be all right.  ::holds him::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:

::security rushes to the sickbay, there almost immediately::

Jordan says:
::tries to evade the CO's grasp:: All:  It's mine!  I must have it!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> All: No! My hand! My hand!!!!!!!!!! MY HAND!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Security: Help me subdue Commander Thraxis.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She runs over to Combs and attempts to pry the chip from her hand::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sobbing subsides gradually::

Jordan says:
::as security approaches she turns in Thraxis' grasp and tries to grab a phaser::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: grabs Jordan's wrist to keep her hand from the phaser ::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
::moves away from the XO and sits opposite him::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: It may be time for the gas again, Doctor...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wipes his face then leans back in his chair::

Jordan says:
All:  LET ME GO!  ::squirms::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
<Security Team> ::waiting outside the sickbay, waiting to be let in::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
<Warren>:*CO*: I'm picking up subatomic energy emissions coming from you area

Out Loud:  ::shouting loudly:: Please stop now you are being controlled by an out side force. Please

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  There's no reason for me to stay here any more.

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
XO:  That's not true

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Security: Get her to a biobed, and use the restraints.  :: releases her to the security team ::

Jordan says:
ALL:  Give me that chip NOW!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns to Yates :: CMO: Can you remove that thing from Lt. Combs?

TO_Lt_Newind says:
<Security Team> ::all six men lift her up, and take her to a biobed, trying to get the restraints on her struggling form::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  No.  It's over.  I'm done.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: I'm trying. ::She turns to Servek:: Servek: Give her a pain reliever, now!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She does as told, as Piper attempts to calm herself down::

Jordan says:
::bites one of the guards.  Continues to kick and struggle::

CNS_Lt_Simmons says:
XO:  Where would you go?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes the scalpel and attempts to cut through the chip::

TO_Lt_Newind says:
::now sitting in the Big Chair, waiting... for something::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Home.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
Self: The stars are pretty aren't they?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jordan, exhausted from the struggle, falls unconscious.

::slumps on the biobed::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Jordan begins to pass out, all empaths and telepaths in the vicinity of Sickbay catch a momentary glimpse of the inside of the Romulan vessel. Strapped to a chair is Rofax with numerous wires and tubing running from his head to a large machine.
