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

Host Cootles says:
The Crew returned to patrol with its new Captain in tow. Several uneventful days highlighted by the cook's “chili” gave way to unexplained behavior on the part of the central computer.

Host Cootles says:
Systems failing or performing in ways that are far from the norm have resulted in numerous crew being ushered into Sickbay.

Host Cootles says:
A virus? An intrusive life form? A second helping of chef's chili? The answers lie hidden in the belly of the computer core and thus far, no one has been able to get close enough to inspect it.

Host Cootles says:

ACTION: Life support systems have been eliminated on multiple decks throughout the ship and lighting remains off. Ambient light from various consoles eases some of the darkness, but only just.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::sitting in the darkness of the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::getting up off the floor outside of an airlock::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::does his best to keep on top of the situation, but that's getting hard to do::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Wakes up in Sickbay.::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Mr. Quinn, how are you feeling?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Still on the bridge in his EVA suit::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A number of thuds slam against one of the Turbo lift doors leading to the bridge.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO Sir, maybe the neural gel packs got infected by something and they migrated into the computer core.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::draws his phaser and trains it on the turbo lift::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::turns quickly at the sound at the TL Door:: FCO: What was that Lieutenant?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::shaking::  SO:  I thought I was dead.  Did you... did you pull me out of there?

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Yes.  ::smiles:: wouldn't want Pendragon to lose her promising new Counselor, would we?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::taps Comm. Badge:: *XO* Have you got your team together to find a solution?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Sits up, rubbing his head. He stands up, grumbling and steadying himself for a moment, and he exits for the bridge.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir this ship is an intrepid class and she uses neural gel packs and if one of them were infected by some virus or agent it is possible that it migrated to the computer core sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::turns to the CTO::  CTO: Investigate that will you

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::nods and moves closer to the turbo lift, keeping his phaser raised::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Your father was a good friend.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::  I ... I...  Thank you.  I had no idea it was so dangerous out here in space.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  He was?  ::surprised::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: What do say we try to return to the bridge?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Grumbles some more, taps comm badge.:: *CO*: Sir, I have just left sickbay after being incapacitated. I would like to come to the Bridge for an update.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Look into it.  You may be on to something

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A second round of thuds slams against the TL door. These are more violent and closer in frequency.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  Yes... that would be the correct procedure, wouldn't it.  ::attempts to regain his composure::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::takes out his recorder and scans the turbo lift::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
ALL: What in the hell........

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*XO* You may want to hold that off for just a moment until we investigate our Turbo lift.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
Bridge: Who else has a phaser?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CEO's tricorder registers no life signs.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::raises her hand::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Not I

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: *CO*: Which turbo lift is blocked, sir?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: I always have one here old habits die hard sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: But whatever it is, it's not alive

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*XO* Turbo Lift One

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::sets his phaser higher::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods, and runs off to another Turbo lift which has access to the bridge. He enters and commands it to the bridge.::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::points at the weapons locker::  Bridge: Let’s all grab one prior to opening that door.  ::gets up and begins handing them out::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::takes a phaser::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::pulls her phaser from under her console and sets it on heavy stun::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  How do we get back?  ::afraid to use a lift or a transporter::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::being the last he grabs one himself and motions the CTO to one side of the door while he gets the other motioning for the rest to be ready::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::thinks twice and then sets it to kill and raises it::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: How do you feel about Jeffries tubes?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::does as ordered, his phaser always at the ready::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  That would be.... Wait.  Didn't I hear something about some decks losing oxygen?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::notes all is ready and motions for the CTO to open the TL while readying his phaser::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Yes.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::hits the button to open the door::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As the TL doors open, several corpses of dead crewmen come spilling into the bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::points his phaser in the TL then darts his head around the corner to look::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  If we took the Jeffry's tubes, would we be passing through any of those decks?

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: I was using portable oxygen.  Let's see if we can find any more in the corridor here.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::pulls his head back again and sighs deeply::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::doesn't move but stares::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::lowers his phaser::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: This does not look good.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  Ooooh.  I see.  ::follows the SO looking for a likely looking storage compartment::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Enters the bridge through a second turbo lift, looks at the CO.:: CO: Sir, I have arrived. ::Sees everyone is holding a phaser.::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
FCO: No it doesn't Lieutenant  ::holstering his phaser::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Something dark and ominous is pushing the corpses onto the bridge; none of them are "re-animated."

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Captain something is moving.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO: Just in time.  ::Motioning to the dead on the floor::  Call Sickbay have them send a team to get these to the morgue.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::pulls her phaser to fire::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Levels his phaser at the turbo lift::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CO: They must have passed through a deck without life support, or perhaps a hull breach...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::hearing the FCO he looks back at the corpses moving and re-readies his phaser:: Bridge: Ready everyone.  Phasers on stun,

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Turns around and notices the corpses, jumping in surprise.:: CO: Yes, yes sir...

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::groans slightly and lowers his phaser setting to max stun::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A dark, liquid mass spills onto the bridge, forming appendages and lashing out at various crew. The few unfortunate enough to get hit suffer acid burns on the affected areas of their bodies.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Contacts Sickbay.:: *Sickbay*: This is the XO. There are multiple corpses on the Bridge, send a team -immediately- to remove them.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::finds an emergency compartment and unpacks an oxygen kit::  SO:  Okay.  Is there an access tube access near here?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::fires his phaser at it::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::taps it quickly to max stun and fires her phaser at it jumping out of the way::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::fires his phaser at the creature::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::grabs another oxygen kit and begins looking for a tube::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::fires at the creature, stepping back::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Grabs a phaser and ducks behind a console.::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The various phaser fire hits the creature, causing it to bubble and explode in numerous directions. Most anyone near the TL feels the burn of acid where the splashes from the creature land on them.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
Computer: Emergency lockdown of the bridge.  Transfer all command codes to Main Engineering

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::grimaces in pain, growling it away::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Computer fails to respond.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::groans in agony as some of the acid lands on his upper arms and chest::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO: Here.  ::stops and opens an access hatch.  Enters::

Host Cootles says:
<Blob> CO: Cannot comply. Your logic is irrational.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
:deftly avoids the acid::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::grimacing in pain::  Blob: Who are you?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::taps his comm. badge:: Sickbay: Medical emergency, the Captain has been injured.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: If you see or feel anything unusual, let me know.  ::follows::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Jumping up from behind the console and firing.:: CO: Could this thing BE the computer? ::Ducks again.::

Host Cootles says:
<Blob> CO: Please restate your request.  ::re-forms itself into a semi-solid mass and lashes out at the CO with a newly formed appendage::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::throws himself in front of the Captain::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: I  think you are right in your assumption.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::aims her phaser at the new appendage and fires::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  To tell you the truth, I have a bad feeling about the bridge right now.  ::grabs the ladder and starts climbing::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Really? Are you telepathic?  What are you feeling?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CTO is slashed across the chest. Acid burns away some fur and uniform.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::in too much pain to stand he tries to drag himself away from the blob::  Blob: What is the nature of Starfleet and your primary programming?  ::trying to reason with it thinking it's the computer manifested in form::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::grimaces again, staying in front of the Captain, and trying to keep his senses::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Give it the equation for PI!

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Runs to the CO and attempts to pull him to safety behind a console.::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
CTO: Get out of the way.  Save yourself.  That's an order

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::takes off in the direction after the black blob::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  Only a telepath with physical touch, but a bit empathic as well.  There is a sense of horror and threat on the bridge.  Then again I could just be projecting.  ::keeps climbing::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::feels he is being dragged from behind::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Blob: What is the square root of PI?

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Hmmm......  Do you think we ought to go somewhere else?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::ignores the order, keeping himself between the blob and the Captain at all times::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::shooting the appendages as she advances on the captain and CTO and the blob::

Host Cootles says:
<Blob> ::re-forms into a mostly solid mass::  CO: The nature of Starfleet is.... ::pauses::  ...irrelevant. My primary programming is to operate efficiently. Your presence is no longer required for such functions.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  All I want to do is get off this ship.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
FCO: I don't think... shooting will help...

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Finally gets the CO behind a console.:: CO: Are you all right, sir?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Blob: Restate what is the square root of PI?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
Blob: No!  You were built for a purpose.  To seek out life and work together for a common galactic goal

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: That's understandable.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::hearing the XO weakly nods barely able to keep conscious::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir your status?

Host Cootles says:
<Blob> FCO: Radical Pi.  ::lashes out at the annoying FCO:: FCO: Your presence is no longer required.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::dodges the appendage::  Self: You are going down bub.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::reaches deck 2::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::passes out in the XO's arms::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  I think we get out here.  There should be an access hatch for the bridge somewhere.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Captain's status?

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: If you feel something is odd about the bridge, perhaps going to the science lab and trying to determine what is going on would be the more logical course of action?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
FCO: The Captain has passed out, but he is stable.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: And yourself?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Status?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
FCO: Functional, if useless.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Frowns.:: FCO: Lieutenant, concentrate on that thing!

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Begins firing again from behind the console.::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  Why don't we just ask them.  ::taps his comm. badge::  *FCO*:  Anything unusual going on up there?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: I want you to get the captain off the bridge if you can. Now please.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The blob loses cohesion and slips into various cracks in consoles and bulkheads. It disappears from the bridge.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: You don't order the XO. The XO orders you.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Hold up where did it go?  Sir sorry if I sounded like I was taking charge.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: I know that Lt. with all due respect to both of you.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::slowly slipping back into focus he stumbles up to his knees holding himself up precariously::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::breathes heavily, not at all feeling well::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir?  ::heads for the captain:: Are you alright.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO: Report.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Stands, looking angry.:: FCO/CTO: Quiet, you two. Where did it go? Try to find it!

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: You don't look good.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The floor directly beneath the FCO vanishes, leaving a 2 meter wide hole which the blob pulls the FCO through.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::shrugs::  SO:  Nobody is answering.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*SO*: St.......ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::still looking at the deck he holds a hand up keeping the FCO at arms reach  before slowly making his way to his feet::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Goes to the CO, pushing the FCO aside.:: CO: The creature has left the bridge, si----HEY! ::Grabs for the FCO, but misses her.::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::launches himself at the hole::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::realizes the FCO is no longer there::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: That sounded odd.  Like she's crying for help.

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: The hole in the deck floor extends door at least three more decks. Lighting is too poor to see beyond that.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO: We need answers, and we need them now.  ::supporting himself now fully upright by holding onto a console::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Blob: What do you want of me?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::follows the FCO and blob through the hole::

Host Cootles says:
<blob> FCO: J'rdan says hello. Behave and you may live to see her again.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO: Lieutenant.  Get some people together and go down there and investigate.  ::pointing down the hole::  Bring back our FCO

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods. Turns to the CTO to order him away, but Sek has already jumped through the hole.:: Self: Gah! 

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  It did.  ::hurries towards the source of the noise::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CO: Yes, sir. :

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::looks over the edge trying to catch a glimpse of the Caitian::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*SO*: This is the XO. What is your status, Lieutenant?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Blob: J'rdan?

SO_LT_Tribble says:
*XO* I am with the Counselor.  We are proceeding toward the bridge, Sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::thinks he sees the CTO go flying by::  SO:  Ummm....

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::stops on the edge of a gaping hole.  Looks down, then up::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CTO feels himself drop several decks before he lands with a thud. The various handheld lights shining from above show he is now seven decks down.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::notices that his body is beginning to block out the pain and knows that’s not necessarily a good sign::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::lands gracefully, extending his claws, looking for the creature::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*SO*: Don't come here. A massive being of some sort attacked the Bridge, then created a hole through several decks through which the FCO disappeared. The CTO has followed. I want you to find the hole and investigate, quickly.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::reaches out to any of the telepaths on board::  ~~~ Anyone that hears this tell the captain I think that J'rdan may be influencing this mess.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::calls down the hole::  CTO: You all right Lieutenant?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::hears the Captain's voice up above::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
*XO* Can you give us some idea of where to start looking, what ship's areas?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::manages to get one word out:: CTO: J'rdan!

Host Cootles says:
<blob> FCO: Did I say that? ::wraps itself further around the FCO, burning her skin all the more::  She simply says hello....

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::groans as the pain is getting really bad::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::winces::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::glances up briefly:: CO: Yes, Captain.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*SO*: Find the bottom of the hole, directly below the Bridge. I can't tell how far the hole goes down. I'll be with you shortly. ::Turns to the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::calls down the hole again::  CTO: Do you see the Lieutenant?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::approaches the blob slowly:: Blob: Release her.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CO: Captain, are you stable? Should I get you to Sickbay?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  We are standing right beneath the bridge now.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Let's go find the bottom of the hole, Quinn.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Blob discards the FCO and focuses its attention on the CTO.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
CO: The creature has released the Lieutenant.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
SO:  Right.  ::looks down to make an estimate::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::stands battle-ready, not entirely sure what he'd do::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::runs back towards the Jeffry's tube access::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::shakes his head at the XO::  XO: Not until we have saved Bishara Lieutenant

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO::  See if you can lock onto that thing with the transporter systems

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::scans to see if any bits of the blob have scraped off and were left behind::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: If I can get a transporter lock on the blob, I might be able to disperse it into space.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::heads back down the ladder leaving the SO behind scanning::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::nods at the CEO::  CEO: Then do it

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Blob lashes out several times at the CTO, attempting to determine its options for attack.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to lock onto the blob and beam it out into space, wide dispersal::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::dodges swiftly and swipes at the blob::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
XO: Lieutenant.  Get some people down there and assist the CTO.  NOW!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::climbing down::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods, making sure that Jose is working on the transporter systems, then exits, heading down.::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: About 75% of the Blob is caught in the transporter lock and sent off into space.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::turns to the CEO::  CEO: Report.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::follows the CNS, resetting her phaser based on blob residue scans::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::shakes his had briefly, trying to stay awake::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::realizes he is rushing headlong into danger unarmed.  Makes a mental note to have his head examined::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I took a chunk out it. It has around 25% of it's original mass.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to beam the rest of it away::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::moans in pain and still is covered with the remnants of the blob::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::emerges on what he hopes is the right deck and heads back in the direction of the gaping hole above::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
CEO: Excellent work Commander.  See if you can do it again, but be careful not to take our crew with it

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Outloud: Get this bloody mess off of me please. It hurts.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'm already on it...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*CTO* Report Lieutenant.  What's going on down there?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CTO is splattering the remaining mass of Blob throughout the area. Even though he is affecting the mass, it is not without sustaining a considerable amount of pain himself.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Taps his comm. badge.:: *COMM*: All available personnel, this is the XO. Meet me at Lieutenant Bishara's coordinates as quickly as possible. Be prepared for enemy confrontation.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::comes upon a really huge mess.  Thinks he sees the CTO thrashing around in there somewhere.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::feels light headed again::  CEO: You'd better get someone from Sickbay up here

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::moves slowly towards the FCO, his breath coming in heaves:: *CO*: Attempting... to get to the Lieutenant...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
*XO*:  I'm already there.  I'm not sure what's happening.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
*XO* I suggest we treat it with foam, Sir.   It is an acid.   If we cover it with foam, we should neutralize it.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Stay put. Don't put yourself in jeopardy any further.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: I am expendable.  You and the ship are not.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::calls out::  CTO:  What can I do to help?

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::ignores the FCO, keeping himself between the FCO and the blob; feeling like he has little left, he lunges at it, hoping to disperse the rest::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Walks up behind the CNS, breathing heavily. He sees the CTO and the blog.:: CNS: What is he doing? He'll kill himself!

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CEO is transporting various parts of the Blob into space, but it appears to be replenishing itself by siphoning off of other gel packs in the area.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO*: Bridge to sickbay

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::trying to push the CTO off her::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::begins looking for a foam extinguisher::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*SO*: Do whatever you can, Lieutenant!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO: I heard the helmswoman.  I think  he's trying to rescue her.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::finds one, breaks it out and begins spraying the Blob::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::rests an arm on the back of the FCO chair for support::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::Joseph looks up from his medical console as the comm. comes through:: *CEO*: Sickbay here. What can I do for you?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Grumbles and jumps into the mess, specifically looking for the FCO.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CTO: Get the bio gel packs away from this thing it is what is feeding off them.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::stands well back::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO*: We need you on the bridge

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
*CEO*: Is there an emergency of some sorts? What do I need to bring? ::He makes his way over to a med kit and prepares to leave Sickbay::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::slumps to his knees, trying to protect the FCO further, feeling darkness start to take him::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Out loud: Some one get the CTO out of here he is fading.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::hearing the ACMO he makes a mental note that if he dies waiting for the ACMO... he's going to kill him::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::sprays foam over the FCO::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He taps his foot waiting for an answer. He assumes that there is not much of a hurry::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CMO*: The captain needs attention, he is feeling light headed, also we have some crew with acid burns on them from the entity we have been encountering

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
All: What the hell.......... UGH!!!!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::startled.  Hadn't noticed Tribble arrive::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
FCO: That should neutralize the sting.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
*CEO*: Oh yes! Right away! ::He cuts the comm. and makes his way toward the Bridge. He has two nurses accompany him::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Decides that the CTO is in more danger and runs for him.:: CTO: Lieutenant, are you all right?!!

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The combination of the CTO's attack and the SO's efforts, the Blob recedes into another hole it has managed to create for itself. It appears to be heading for the shuttle bay.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::watches the blob slither away::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::lays there briefly before attempting to stand::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::As Joseph runs toward the Turbo Lift, he trips over his own to feet and falls face first onto the floor::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::for the first time notices his uniform has been eaten away across his chest and arms from the acid::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::releases another growl before going dark, falling forward onto the floor::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::runs toward the shuttle bay with the canister of foam::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::carefully stands and nearly falls as her head swims::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
SO: Wait! Come neutralize the CTO!

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He pushes himself up and makes his way into the Turbo Lifts. Joseph enters and orders it to the Bridge::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Sir it is headed for the shuttle bay.  ::goes running after it as best she can::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::stops, turns around, and returns to spray the CTO::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Rolls Sek over carefully.::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps towards the others::  XO:  We should get him to sickbay.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
CTO: That should neutralize the acid.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::The Turbo Lift doors open and he makes his way onto the Bridge. He rushes toward the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::notes the Ensign arrive::

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::would say thank you if he was conscious::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods.:: CNS: Get him to sickbay, we have to go after that thing before it can do this to anyone else. Let's go! ::Runs off with the SO.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::stops at the entrance of the shuttle bay breathing heavily::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
ACMO: I have serious burns across my chest and arms as you can see from some sort of acidic compound

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self: You son of a witches brew I want you so bad I can taste it.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::taps his comm. badge::  *Sickbay*:  I have one with acid burns that require immediate transport to sickbay.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He raises an eyebrow as he looks over the CO:: CO: I can see that, sir. I... hold on one second! ::He takes out his Tricorder and begins to look over the wounds::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::grimaces::  ACMO: By the Prophets it hurts

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I am at the shuttle bay doors.  It seems that the Blob has gone into the shuttle bay.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Emergency lighting activates on most decks. Back-up life support has kicked in as well. The Blob is losing control of the ship.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
<Nurse Barns> *CNS*: Understood, Ensign. Prepare for transport.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
CEO: Can we open those doors and keep the Force field down?

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He takes out a hypo spray from his med kit and injects the CO with the contents:: CO: This should numb the pain. These burns will require treatment in Sickbay for immediate repair. However, I can repair some of the damage right here. ::He rummages through his med kit for a dermal regenerator::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: You bet. The creature is losing control of the ship

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
<Nurse Barns> *CNS*: I am transporting now. ::She initiates the transport::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*FCO* Is everyone out of the shuttle bay?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::waits until he dematerializes::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::grimaces as the Med Team treat him::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*CO*: Yes sir I don't sense anyone..

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He takes out the regenerator and looks over the Captain, noting that he is obviously extremely busy:: CO: This won't hurt at all! ::He begins to run the regenerator over the wounds, knowing that it would not do too much repair:: CO: Again, this is only a temporary solution.

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Arrives behind FCO.:: FCO: Where did it go? Did you see it?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::waves a hand in the air at the ACMO::  ACMO: Just keep both arms the same length.  We'll deal with the rest later

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*FCO* Including yourself?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The transport to Sickbay is completed.

SO_LT_Tribble says:
::scans the shuttle bay for the blob::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: It is in the shuttle bay.  ::groans and goes to her knees::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
CO: Umm... ok, sir. I'll do my best. ::He decides not to mention that this is his first true mission::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*CO*: No I am just outside the doors with the XO.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*FCO* Close and seal that door.  ::turns to the CEO::  CEO: Open the outer doors and drop the safety force fields.  Let's blow that thing back to the Prophets

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Pulls the FCO back from the door, then goes to the door to close it.::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She notices as the CTO materializes in Sickbay. She makes her way over to him and begins to scan him:: CTO: Lieutenant. Are you feeling ok?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::drops the force field and opens the door::

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He stops working on the CO:: CO: That is the best I can do for the moment, sir.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::isn't conscious::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The scans reveal nothing behind the shuttle bay doors, but this was to be expected as it did not show on scans on the bridge TL.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
ACMO: I don't know where he is, but I think there is a certain CTO needing your attention just about now

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::She notices that the CTO is not conscious at the moment. She shakes her head and motions for others to come over to her:: Med Techs: I want his vitals on screen now.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
CO: Umm.. Ok, sir. ::He wonders why he is the last to know. He makes his way toward the Turbo Lift again::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: How should we precede, Sir?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
CEO: Report.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
CEO: Did you succeed?

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Looks at the SO, the words "We shall see..." written across his face.:: *CO*: Sir, have you emptied the shuttle bay?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::sits heavily as the pain is beginning to take its toll on her::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
*XO* Hold on Lieutenant.  We are waiting on a status update

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: through a porthole, the remainder of the Blob can be seen drifting away from the Pendragon. It has been removed.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She takes in a deep breath as she notes the burns located throughout his body:: Med Techs: We are going to need to stabilize him. We need to discover the intensity of his wounds before we operate. ::They begin to work rather quickly::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: success

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
::He enters Sickbay after having left the Captain on the Bridge:: Barnes: Is it true that we have someone else here that needs... attention?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Outloud: Stop the pain please.  It hurts.

CTO_LtJG_Sek says:
::smiles slightly in his sleep, a satisfied smile::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*Sickbay* There is another medical emergency at the entrance to the Shuttle bay. Emergency beam-out.

ACMO_Ens_Pantine says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She glares at Pantine:: ACMO: That is correct, Doctor. Take a look. ::She allows him to take note of the CTO as the teams nearly succeed in stabilizing his vitals::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor says:
::sighs in relief and sits in the FCO's chair he was leaning against::  CEO: Good.  Now if you'll take command until Lieutenant Hei Ran returns, I'll be in Sickbay  ::gets up and heads for Turbo Lift 2::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::heads towards the counselling department, hoping for some peace and quiet::

SO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Another day on the Pendragon, eh? ::smiles weakly::

XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Frowns.::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Vn'dor Phail, newly assigned Commanding Officer of the USS Pendragon, awakens suddenly from a horrific dream. Seated in the observation lounge aboard SB14, he is awaiting the Pendragon's arrival.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Pendragon comes into view through the window and as he stands to exit the lounge, several patrons hear him mumble something about an abomination of a ship….
