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

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon found Thraxis, or rather, Thraxis found the Pendragon. However, instead of the polished, by-the-book Captain the crew had come to expect, the crew was met by a disheveled, on-the-run gambler, claiming to be host of the Thraxis symbiont.

Host Coot says:
The Medical Staff was able to confirm the presence of the symbiont and “Bo” Thraxis possessed some knowledge of individual crewmembers. Pressing the crew for assistance, Bo was on the run from a Hirogen vessel.

Host Coot says:
As the crew continued to search for answers as to how to return home, an unwelcome attempt to confront the CSO was met with a cascading failure of the Pendragon power systems. Surely, Cmdr Toms knew the ship inside and out, but a failure of this magnitude surely hints as something more than a routine power failure.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::on the bridge at OPS::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: Um... what just happened, Mikal?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::Standing in the darkness in Sickbay, not really sure what to do, Piper remains still as she thinks about what her next move should be::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::On the bridge, monitoring::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::at her station on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in the ready room::  Bokeri:  We need to get back to the bridge.  Help me get the door open.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::as there is no power she can't use her console .... just sits there waiting::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: All right.  :: feels around the wall by the door, looking for the manual override ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::goes to his station and attempts to restore back-up power at least::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge. Is there something I need to know about our power?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: finds the panel and removes it :: XO: Got it.   :: starts pumping the pneumatic handle ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves closer with the hologram attempting to shed some light::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::Moving quickly, and with efficiency, seems to be doing something with wiring in the panels near his door::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Several grunts are heard as various crew bump into things. Mild cursing follows some of the grunts.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
All: Everyone stay where you are - we don't need someone to trip over and break something.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: I think... the door... is starting to... open...

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She moves around Sickbay, bumping into a few things, as she makes her way toward the utility closet::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::ties life support into all available power sources::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::Piper stubs her toe on one of the Biobeds:: Self: Shizzles!!!

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::sits there not believing what is going on::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sets the hologram down and attempts to pry the door open::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: stops pumping and grabs the edge of the door, now about 1/3rd open ::  XO: Let's see if we can force it the rest of the way.   :: pulls ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::pulls::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
All: We haven't got much atmosphere left.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She reaches the closet, mad about her stubbed toe, and tries to pull it open:: Self: Come on! ::She continues to pull at it until finally getting it open and pulling out a flashlight::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::clears her mind and reaches out to locate the ships crew::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She takes a deep breath and turns on the flashlight, which she begins to shine around Sickbay:: All: Okay everyone, we need to find out what is going on here for sure. I'm going to make my way to the Bridge through a Jefferies Tube...

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
CEO:  We need to get word out to get people to stay where they are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stumbles through the door::  CEO:  Report.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: we’ve lost all power

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: squeezes thru behind Mikal ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: we can use the shuttles power, but we need someone to get there - the hard way

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  So I see.  Get it fixed.  Use whatever resources you need.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She hands out several more lights to her staff before exiting into the main corridor, looking around to see if anyone is in need of assistance::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Emergency power sputters to life in various sections. Artificial Gravity is 1/3 of normal strength, life support and minimal lighting come on as well.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks towards OPS::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She looks up as the emergency lighting kicks in:: Self: Finally...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: I’ll be climbing through Jeffries tubes for a while. I'll have no way of contacting you immediately, if you live, consider my efforts successful

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::moves away from the door towards his desk, pokes at his console, gets nothing, and returns to the door wiring::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: There've been rumors in this sector recently... about some sort of gigantic thing, a creature some say, that can devour entire star systems. Its approach is said to be preceded by massive power failures.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::looks over at the XO wondering why he's looking at me::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::exits through the Jeffries tube and begins the long climb::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::Piper makes her way toward one of the Jefferies Tubes and pulls open the hatch:: Self: Remember your training... it's just a confined dark tunnel, nothing to be afraid of. ::She looks inside and pauses:: Self: Nothing at all... nope.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  All the more reason for you to get off this ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Do we have external sensors?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She takes in a deep breath and kneels into the Jefferies Tube, trying to deal with her fears:: Self: Just a few decks up... a few decks.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::checks::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: scowls ::  XO: You're in an awful hurry to be rid of me, Mikal. You have to understand... it's been almost two centuries since I've seen any of you.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: And besides, I'll certainly be no safer off this ship, if that thing is really coming.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  We've got minimal sensors ... I don't know if they'll pick up anything but I can try.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She continues to climb up ladders and move through tunnels, stopping every so often to catch her breath and regain her composure::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::climbs::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She finally reaches the hatch to the Bridge and nearly bursts out of it, taking a few seconds to catch her breath::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  Understand this.  We're about to die in one of several possible timelines.  Either help us or get out of here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  See what you can find.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A sharp, stabbing pain washes over the FCO as she doubles over in pain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::climbs down into the shuttle bay and goes to work::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Out loud:: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::begins scanning the area with whatever scanners they have::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::moves away from the wiring, looking a little agitated, and moves towards his replicator. Removes a panel above that and starts tinkering::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the FCO::  Self: Oh dear....

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She feels as if she wants to scream:: FCO: What's wrong? ::She moves toward the FCO::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::looks over at the FCO::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: throws up her hand in exasperation ::  XO: I've been beaten by the casino's thugs and chased across half a solar system by Hirogen! What do you...   Maria? What is it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes with relief that Dr. Combs has arrived::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: I don't know but it is very painful.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  What do you want from us?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::grabs her stomach again as a wave of pain passes::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
All: Does anyone have a Tricorder?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Hooks up the jumper cables to the shuttle and fires it up::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Piper? What's wrong with Maria?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Several systems power up, including gravity, propulsion, and sensors.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::through the pain she thinks she just heard Thraxis::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::doesn't have a tricorder.  Moves to a locker and removes one::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Thraxis: I wish I knew... ::She moves toward the FCO and feels her pulse on the side of her neck:: FCO: Where are you feeling the most pain?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Out loud: What the hell is going on inside me!!!!!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  That feels better.  Do we have internal communications?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: Mostly, I want you to survive and get back to your own time. But while you're here, it would be a great relief not to have to look over my shoulder for Hirogen assassins every minute.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: We're back in business - for the moment. I'm headed for main engineering to find out what’s going on with primary systems.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::holds a tricorder out towards the CMO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  What can we do to help?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She takes the Tricorder and begins to scan the FCO, looking over the results:: Self: Oh fiddlesticks...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Thank you Jose.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
FCO: It looks like you're going into... premature labor. 12 weeks early isn't a very good thing... not at all.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::rolls to her side and groans in pain::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Leaves for main engineering::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OutLoud: I don't want to lose them please noooo.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
XO: Would you toss me a med-kit, sir? ::She places the Tricorder down:: FCO: You have a decision to make, Lieutenant. I can stop the labor... but you may lose the entire litter...

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
XO: I'm not Albaron, but I'm not a cold-blooded killer, either. Just disable the Hirogen's engines. They'll send a distress call and be rescued, but by that time, I can be out of debt. I know a... little treasure that the head of the casino would very much like to have.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Do we have propulsion?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Impulse for now will have to do

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  Just disable their engines?  As simple as that?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: No please I don't want to lose them please do what must be done please.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::steps away from the wall panel and moves back to desk. Gets a response from the console, but it doesn’t last. Heads back to the wall panel::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Slave the helm to your console and resume course, maximum impulse.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::tears well into her eyes::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::slaves helm to her console::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
XO: We'll need the Ready Room, Commander. ::She motions to the FCO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::reaches engineering::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: bats eyelashes ::  XO: Well, some repairs to the Teralina would be nice...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Bokeri:  We don't have your ship.  We'd have to go back for it.  CMO:  Help yourself.  ::takes the medkit into the ready room::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She looks down at the FCO:: Bo: Would you mind helping me carry her?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sets the medkit on the desk::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Of course.  :: hoists Rochelle by the armpits ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the CEO enters Engineering, several showers of sparks explode from various conduits.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::gets to work on primary systems::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::scoots out of the ready room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Self: Oh great

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Please don't let the kits die please ::crying at this point feeling the maternal instincts taking over::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  We have internal comms ...

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She assists in moving the FCO into the Ready Room and places her on Thraxis's desk:: FCO: Alright, Lieutenant.. I'm going to give you something for the pain. ::She opens the med-kit and pulls out a Hypospray that she injects the FCO with::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Thanks.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::nods to himself, then replaces the wall panel, moves back to the door and continues tinkering there::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
FCO: Shhhh... It's going to be fine, Maria.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits the center chair and tries to think this all through::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: holds the FCO's hand and strokes her brow... continues to try to calm the distraught woman::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
FCO: You'll be fine... you'll just have to take it easy. ::She says with a slight smile::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Bo: How do you...::feels a pain but it is much lighter::  How do you know me?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::recalls they have a 50/50 chance, provided some sharp-fanged space beastie doesn't get them first::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She looks toward the XO for a moment, not wanting to mess this up like she did with Jordan already...:: FCO: Alright sweetie... are you ready to push?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: grins :: FCO: I used to be your Captain. I'm Bokeri Thraxis.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: Yes but don't let them die please.  ::pushes hard::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Outloud:: ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Bokeri: I'll need you to act as my nurse... taking the children...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::works as fast as he can::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Understood.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wishes Jordan were here to give her opinion::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Outloud:: ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! How can you be my captain?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::pushes again hard::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
FCO: I'll be right back.   :: goes to the replicator and orders a dozen warmed towels ::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She watches as the first child comes through. Piper pauses for a split second before handing it to Thraxis once she comes back::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::pants and tries to relax but feels another contraction::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: takes the kit gently and wraps it in a  towel ::  FCO: I said I used to be your Captain. I'm carrying the Thraxis symbiont. I have all of Albaron Thraxis' memories.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
FCO: You're doing great sweetie... just keep doing what you're doing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wishes Edward were here to give his advice::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::pushing hard again::  Outloud:  Bloody hell it hurtssssssssss!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Anything on sensors?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors are picking up two vessels closing in fast, Hirogen.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
FCO: That's childbirth for you. ::She says with a smile as she hands the second, third, and fourth to Thraxis::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::sees the ships on sensors:: XO:  Uh oh ... Sir, I'm picking up two vessels, closing fast.  They're Hirogen!

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CMO: Just don't let them die or anyone take them from me please they are my children.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: wraps each in turn, lays them side by side on the Ready Room couch ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Damn.  ::gets up and moves to a tactical station::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
FCO: Why would someone take them from you sweetie? They're yours. ::She smiles:: FCO: Here comes another!

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::pushes again harder:: Outloud: RRRRRROOOAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::works at a frenzied pace::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Red alert.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Preparing to lay in an evasive course ...

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: suddenly alarmed ::  CMO: Uh, Piper... the first kit isn't breathing...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Do we have weapons?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::initiates Red Alert::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: You should now

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::screams out loud::  CMO: NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Thraxis: What! Shizzles! ::She takes the fifth and hands it to Thraxis:: *Sickbay*: If you can hear me.. I need some Nurses here stat! We are having a litter of kittens!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The warp core suddenly begins humming in a tone very unnatural to the Pendragon. The familiar blue glow is replaced by a eerie green and power levels go off the chart. All systems reporting at 110% efficiency.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: wraps the next kit, lays it by its siblings :: 

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::checks the warp core - and his readings::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Should I try artificial respiration, Piper?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::is monitoring all systems:: Self:  What the ...  *CEO*:  Bridge to Damien ... are you reading something odd ... all systems are reporting at 110% efficiency!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'm powering up weapons.  We need to try to take out their engines.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She moves over to the first kitten:: Thraxis: Her airway seems to be blocked. I need you to breath into her mouth... and push into her chest with one finger twice.. and then add more breath.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Oh, crud... two more of the little guys have stopped breathing, too!

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Okay...   :: starts trying to revive the first kit ::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Thraxis: You're kidding me!!! I... I.... Fiddles!!!!!! ::She turns to the FCO and takes the remaining five from her, one after the other::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::lets out a blood curdling screech:: CMO: You can't have my babies get away.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*OPS*: I'm aware of that. enjoy it while you can. I'm trying to figure out what went right - or wrong, depending on how you look at it.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  I'll get you in as close as I can ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO begins convulsing and thrashing about.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She slams her fist over her Combadge:: *OPS*: I need emergency transport to Sickbay, now! Ten kittens, myself, and Maria!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Targeting...  ::attempts to do so::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
*CEO*:  The XO wants weapons ...

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::now begins to convulse and fighting what she is seeing::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*OPS*: You've got them. Have at it.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
*CMO*:  You got it.  ::locks into all those in the Ready Room and initiates transport::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Self: No... this isn't happening! ::She takes a hypo and injects the FCO, in a hopes to calm her down::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::lets out another blood curdling howl this time:: AAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Hirogen vessels are targeting the Pendragon and closing to within firing distance.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Hirogen vessels are closing within range.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::concentrates on getting a lock::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Steady...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Everyone in the RR suddenly finds themselves in Sickbay.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: keeps trying to breathe life into the small form in her arms ::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::still howling::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::Once she materializes in Sickbay, she shouts out to no one in particular:: All: I need these infants on artificial life-support systems now! I need some help over here with Maria!!!

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::fighting and kicking and convulsing all at the same time and trying to kill what ever it is that is attacking her::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO clutches her stomach, lurches over and coughs up a hairball. She slumps onto the nearest bio-bed exhausted.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::moves away from the door panel, securing it, and then returns to the console on his desk. Looks satisfied::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She moves toward Lieutenant Combs:: CMO: Calm down, Doctor. It is common for a mother to go through these stages when having gone through childbirth. I assure you, she will be fine.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She turns toward the FCO for a moment:: Servek: I know... I know... the babies!

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Commander ... now would be a good time .... ::notices the ships are getting closer and closer ... ::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Power levels are continuing to rise throughout the ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Steady...

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the hair ball::  Outloud: Oops sorry doc.  Wait where are my babies.........

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She moves toward the infants and assists in making sure that the artificial life-support systems were implemented correctly:: CMO/FCO: The infants have underdeveloped lungs, so they will require artificial life support for several months, in order to fully develop. However, it looks as if they will survive.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets a lock and fires phasers::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Servek: You can handle things from here.... ::She moves toward her office::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Servek: I want to see them please I want to see them.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: sits on the edge of a biobed, exhausted ::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She watches the CMO for a moment and then moves toward the FCO:: FCO: You need to rest at the moment, Lieutenant. However, you will be able to see them all in a few hours once your wounds have healed slightly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Sir, I know this is going to sound strange, but the power increases - they're coming from outside engineering, I'm trying to find the source.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Servek: Wounds?  Thraxis?  Wait what is going on here?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Can we siphon the excess off into the weapons?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Set up another run at them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: You should have weapons now

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Hirogen vessel powers up weapons a second too late. The Pendragon hits them full and severs one of the vessels in two. The second vessel's engines are disabled.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> FCO: You just have birth, Lieutenant. You have several wounds that require healing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the readout::  

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Might not be necessary Commander.  Your shooting was spot on.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She moves toward her chair and slumps down into it. This is not what she expected at all...::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> Thraxis: Do you require assistance, ma'am?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Should I get us out of here before their friends show up?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Bokeri*:  We've disabled your friends.  Now will you get off my ship?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Thraxis: Please explain to me how you were my captain?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She puts her face in her hands and just sits there::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::gets a very odd reading:: XO:  Commander!  You should see this ...

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> FCO: Lieutenant, your silence is required for you to achieve full recovery. Please relax so you can recover.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  What?  ::gets to his feet and moves to the Operations Console::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
Servek: No, thanks. I'm just tired.   FCO: As I said, I carry the Thraxis symbiont. I'm the eleventh host. 

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  The weapons signature ... it wasn't SF Regulation nor our signature ... ::brings up the signature::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Thraxis: But how?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: annoyed ::  *XO*: If you insist on throwing me off the ship, there's not a lot I can do about it, is there?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  It's Borg, Sir.  And yes, it's confirmed.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She turns toward Thraxis:: Thraxis: I am afraid I must require you to leave Sickbay at this time, ma'am. Lieutenant Rochelle is not following my orders. ::She states rather bluntly::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Servek: Yes I will get some rest as soon as she tells me how she came here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sincere::  *Bokeri*:  Take a shuttle and go.  Please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Our weapon signature?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
FCO: Maria, it's two hundred years into your own future. Albaron is long dead. But the symbiont has survived, and so have Albaron's memories. Those memories are part of me, now.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
OPS:  Yes Sir.  Somehow we just fired Borg weapons.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<Nurse Barns> ::She walks over to Servek:: Servek: The infants are doing well on the life support units, Lieutenant. I believe they'll be fine. ::She says with a smile::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  We gotta get back....

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Jose, what's going on?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Thraxis:  OK now I understand how this happened.  Thank you for being here for me.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Maybe we can .... ::is getting a wild idea::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wishes Toms were here::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~::searches for Edward::~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Another mass is detected on LRS. It appears rather large and has altered course, headed directly for the Elegy System.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I've traced the unknown power source, it's coming from Tom's quarters

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> Barns: Understood, Miss Barns. That is satisfactory news. ::She turns back toward Thraxis:: Thraxis: I believe Commander Luchena would like for you to depart.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: smiles ::  FCO: It was good to see you again, Maria... and an honor to be present at the birth of your babies. Be well.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
*CEO*:  Commander, it's not unknown anymore .... The signature is Borg.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: That would explain more than a few things

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*OPS*: Confirmed

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::has a look of contentment on his face, that slowly fades away::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  I understand.  Will it harm our systems at all?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Thraxis: Be well yourself and watch your back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Not right away, just until Tom's friends come to call

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
Servek: Yeah, I heard. I gotta say goodbye to Piper first.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Commander, sensors are picking up something heading for the Elegy System.  Something big ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  They won't.  Can your staff handle things down there?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She watches the young woman before her:: Thraxis: As you wish. ::She motions to the CMO's Office::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  How big?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: finds Piper's office, leans in the door ::  CMO: Mikal's giving me the bum's rush, Piper. I came to say goodbye.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: For now, yes

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Very big .... ::honestly can't say anymore than that::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  I could use your help up here.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She takes her face out of her hands:: Thraxis: He's just sending you out there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  It's not.... a life form in any way, is it?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Borg power systems ... could be our way back ....

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Looks that way. Don't worry about me, Piper... I'm a survivor. A good one.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Oh no.  You don't really think so?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I'm on my way

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She pauses for a moment:: Thraxis: That isn't right... he could be signing your death warrant. ::Piper taps her Combadge:: *XO*: Combs to Luchena...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is stunned::  *CMO*:  I'm here.

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: Piper, don't. Mikal is entirely within his rights to kick me off the ship.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
*XO*: Sir, is it true that you're sending Thraxis... uh ... out into space to possibly be... attacked?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Commander?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Yes.  ::annoyed::  Luchena out.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
*XO*: Sir... that would 100% be unethical... ::She chimes back in::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: walks over to Piper and puts a slim hand on her shoulder :: CMO: It's really okay, Piper. I'll be fine.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  How could Borg technology help us?

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Thraxis: Didn't you say that others were after you? And whatever is out there could go straight for you....

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> FCO: I am going to give you a sedative so you will sleep for several hours, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
BO: Wait if the Borg is out there they can assimilate you and learn all of Albaron’s memories and those of Starfleet.  This can't be allowed.

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Commander, more on the contact ... it's both organic and inorganic, possibly cybernetic in form.  And it's big ... nearly 2 Astronomical Units in length, 2 AU in width and 1 AU in height

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
CMO: This sector is a dangerous place. But it hasn't killed me yet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::closes his eyes::  OPS:  Is that event ... that chronoton field still in place?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: All telepaths suddenly feel an invasion into their memories, their fears, and their weaknesses.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::She shakes her head:: Thraxis: That man up there can make some bad decisions sometimes... be safe.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his hand to his head and winces::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  As for the Borg technology ... transwarp conduits have been formed before ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CEO*:  Jose....

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::puts her hand to her in pain::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: hugs Piper ::  CMO: You too.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: what can I do for you?

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
::checks on the chroniton field::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
::Her feet buckle beneath her as she begins to feel the pain within her mind::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Help me get this back on track.  ::holds both hands to his head::

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: catches Piper ::  CMO: Whoops. Are you all right?

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::concentrates harder and calls for help from her bird::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Be more specific

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<LtJG Servek> ::She stops where she is, attempting to regain the structure of her mind::

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
~~~WindFire: Strengthen and help.~~~

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
XO:  Commander, are you all right?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  We have to get back.  We're on our way to Elegy III.  Something else is on its way too,  and I can't think straight.

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
Thraxis: I... I don't think so! ::She screams out in pain::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  No, I'm not all right.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: what else is on its way?

Host Bokeri_Thraxis says:
:: yells :: Servek: LIEUTENANT!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Some sort of creature.  We can't let it get through Jose.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A massive vessel comes into visual range, plowing through the outer planets of the Elegy System. Four planets no longer exist.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::lost:: XO: What kind of creature?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up at the view screen, then points::

OPS_Lt_Pol says:
*CMO*:  Bridge to Sickbay.  Cmdr Luchena is not well and needs assistance.

FCO_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::grimaces as the pain remains the same even though her companion did strengthen her mind::

CMO_Lt_Combs says:
<Nurse Barns> *OPS*: Something seems to be going on with the telepaths on the ship, Bridge. I'm attempting to find out what right now!

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::Tilts head to the side, then moves to his window, looking out::

Host Coot says:
<Rofax> ~~~ALL: Hello old friends. ::begins laughing, sounding rather insane:: ~~~
