Host Coot says:
Last Time on the Pendragon...
Host Coot says:
The Crew managed to purge itself of most of the bio-chemical agents. However, it left its mark on several crewmembers. Most notably, one crew member now a full inch shorter.
Host Coot says:
<<<< Resume Mission >>>>
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::heading back to the bridge after leaving the Cargo Bay::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::Servek begins to examine the scans gathered on Jordan Thraxis. It did not look promising that she would be able to attain her previous inch::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::In Holodeck one, enjoying a Puerto Rican beach scene::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: Internal scans reveal there may have been a few Jordan's trampled during the chaos prior to rejoining all her duplicates.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She begins to examine Jordan's genetic level, however, she is unable to find anything of use that would truly help her. Servek decides to place Med Tech Johanson on the research path::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
Barnes: Nurse Barnes, please contact Jordan Thraxis and schedule a physical with her. I want her in Sickbay within the next 6 hours.
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CNS notices something sticky on the bottom of his shoe. Let's hope it's bubblegum.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
<Nurse Barnes> MO: Aye, Doctor. ::She makes her way over to the medical console and does as requested::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::sniffs::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::arrives on the bridge and dismisses the Officer in Charge::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::gathers his things and returns to his quarters to get ready for his duty shift::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::Servek  taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Sickbay to Captain Vn'dor.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps his Comm. Badge:: *MO* Yes Doctor
MO_Lt_Servek says:
*CO*: Captain, you have yet to report to Sickbay for your physical. Now would be an appropriate time.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Sorry doctor, we still have a bit of a mystery here.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::scrapes off his shoe on the edge of Simmons desk::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
*CO*: I agree, Captain. However, you agreed to report to Sickbay once the situation was semi under control, due to potential contamination of the Bridge. I am certain Commander Damien could monitor the Bridge for fifteen minutes or so.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::arrives in his quarters, takes off his thong and gets in the sonic shower::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* I don't ever remember making that promise Doctor.  Perhaps you should report back to Vulcan for a full physical yourself.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
*CO*: If you would like, Captain, I can pull up the comm records of our conversation. However, must a remind you of Starfleet Regulations? Physicals are not an option, Captain. I will grant you a one day extension. Servek out. ::She cuts the comm::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::leaves the counseling office::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::waiting by a turbolift::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
Barnes: Do Starfleet Captains always act in this fashion? I never experienced such attitude under a Vulcan Commanding Officer. Perhaps the Pendragon is due for a Vulcan Captain.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps inside::  TL:  Bridge
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::gets out of the shower and dresses::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: A very quite chuckle can be heard on the bridge after hearing the MO's comment.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to see where the chuckle came from::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::arrives on the bridge just in time to see the CO turn::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sees the CNS::  CNS: Was that you Counselor?
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Was what me, Captain?  ::curious::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She notices that Barnes does not answer:: Barnes: Please re-organize the medical storage cabinet, Nurse. It should be reorganized once every three days.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::shakes head and goes back to his duties::  CNS: Never mind.  How is Mrs. Thraxis?
MO_Lt_Servek says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She sighs:: MO: Of course, ma'am.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Slightly diminished, but basically all right.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods reassured::  CNS: Good.  I wonder if we'll see any of those life forms again.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Life forms?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Those strange little aliens that dematerialized Mrs. Thraxis into a multitude of little people
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She makes her rounds throughout Sickbay, making several notes of imperfection on the PADD before her::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: LRS have gone remarkably quite. They show absolutely nothing within 5LY of the Pendragon.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::exits his quarters for the bridge::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Did we ever figure out what their problem with us was Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::shrugs::  CNS: They claimed we violated their territory.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Hard not to under the circumstances.  Can I take a station Captain?  I have to log some hours on each bridge position.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::Servek continues to walk through Sickbay. Efficiency has increased by 25% since she took over temporarily::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the CNS::  CNS: Any station you prefer.  I give you free discretion
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Science?  I could get some practice analyzing scans.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CNS: Science it is then Counselor.  ::nods at the back up SO to relinquish her station::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters the bridge and takes his station::
Host Coot says:
<Miniaturized Vulcan Emotional Intelligence Angel> Self: Although efficiency has increased by 25%.... happiness and morale have declined 26%. ::magically appears on the MO’s shoulder::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::spots Damien arrive:  CEO: Commander.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::moves to the science station wondering where his familiarity with the CO is coming from::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::Morale did not matter to the Vulcan Acting Chief Medical Officer. After all, productivity was the key in maintaining a good Sickbay::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::frowning as he logs on to the terminal::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Please conduct a Long Range Scan.  The first thing you discover we'll change course to investigate.  How does that sound?
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain. How goes it? ::looks over his station::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Promising, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Well, we have our civilian back... mostly...  I would say it all goes pretty well.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::initiates long-range scans::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Yes, I heard she was a few centimeters shorter. ::shrugs::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks over the incoming data for anything out of the ordinary::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She shakes her head slightly as she finds what looks like three crumbs on one of the counters::
Host Coot says:
<MVEIA> ::sitting on the MO's shoulder, whispers:: MO: Morale wouldn't matter to you, you cold hearted fish. Nothing like the bedside manner of the Grim Reaper.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: She'll probably have to adjust her wardrobe slightly.  ::smiles::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She looks toward her right shoulder:: Angel: You know nothing of logic. Perhaps you should attend Vulcan training.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Well all seems to be in order ship wise. Can you tell me what our orders are now?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Depending on the Counselor’s scans...  No.  ::smiles slightly::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::still checking the sensor data for anything interesting::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She jumps a bit:: MO: I'm sorry, Doctor. I don't wish to attend Vulcan training... and I do think I know something about logic.
Host Coot says:
<MVEIA> MO: Logic is irrelevant. It clashes with your desire to run with puppies and kitties!
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: Counselor?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: If you find a dead rock we could leave our MO on.....
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::pulls in the range of the scans and intensified them::  CO: Nothing of interest to report Captain.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She shoots a look at Barnes:: Barnes: I am uncertain what you are talking about, Nurse. Get back to work. ::She shoots a look back at her shoulder:: MVEIA: I do not run for pleasure.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Like a moon, Captain?
Host Coot says:
ACTION: LRS scans detect a ridiculously-oversized asteroid headed for the Pendragon. It is moving at a high-rate of speed.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::thinks for a moment:: CNS: That'll do...
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::notices the flashing red lights on his console::  CO: We're on a collision course!
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the CNS he turns to the FCO::  FCO: Evasive action.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: All power to engines and shields.  Yellow Alert
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, I think I can use the deflector to help out in avoiding it
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Yellow alert
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CEO: Do it.
Host Coot says:
<MVEIA> MO: True, but I understand your patients run from you.... Dr. Lecter.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::activates deflector control and modifies it to take into account the size of the asteroid::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns back to the CNS::  CNS: Composition of the asteroid?
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The FCO is tapping away on the console, but has not initiated any maneuvers yet.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
MVEIA: My patients run from all medical facilities. I am doing my job admirably. You... are nothing but a bother. It is not as if I am starving for humanoid flesh. They just believe that to be the case.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Checking now Captain.  Permission to put it on-screen?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods affirmative at the CNS::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: I said EVASIVE ACTION Mr.!!!
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::puts the image of the asteroid on the main viewer, and focuses scans::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The asteroid fills the screen entirely. Based on the latest readouts, there is no way to effectively get around the asteroid. It is several thousand times larger than the Pendragon.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stares at the screen:::  Self: By the Prophets that is big....
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
All on bridge:  It's huge.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  You're not going to believe this Captain.
Host Coot says:
<FCO>  CO: Uh, sir. I would love to, but.... ::trails off::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Full power to engines... full reverse
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::double checks the readings::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS waiting for the story::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Full reverse
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It's space dust, Captain.  One molecule of dust.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She notices the yellow alert has sounded, a bit slower than usual, which causes her to make her way to a console to see what is going on::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CNS: Don't tell me....
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::a creeping horror begins to overtake him::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Either it or us is out of synch.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: I'll put my money on the Pendragon being out of sync with the rest of the universe.  I guess you'll get plenty of practice at Science today Counselor.  Begin working on a solution.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, try and contact Starfleet Command... If we get through that means the dust is out of sync
Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans display several new readouts indicating everything is where it should be relative to other objects, it's just that they are much, much farther apart.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Doctor, I need you to scan the crew of the Pendragon.  Can you tell if we are out of sync in anyway.  Is our atomic mass correct?
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye. ::opens a comm to Starfleet Command::
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::trying to wrap his head around the whole situation::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She hears the comm and taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Understood, Captain. ::She begins to perform a scan of the entire population aboard the Pendragon by utilizing the internal scanners::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the Pendragon continues its retreat, the "asteroid" closes the distance. More maddening, is that there is no response from SFC.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander?  Weapons?  Will they have any effect?
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::trying to understand how this happened::
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Negative. Not on something that big
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::recalling what he witnessed in the containment field::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs:: CEO: Options?
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Could it be the interference of those aliens again, Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CNS: Or perhaps originally...
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She decides that the Captain's request was rather daunting. Servek decides to stop after scanning only 50 individuals::  *CO*: Everything seems in order, Captain.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: We could try a reverse tractor beam
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Thank you Doctor.  It seems we have an enormous piece of dust out here and we thought it must have been us that shrunk.  Seems there may be more to the puzzle here.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: If the weapons won't have nay effect on something that big, what makes you think the tractor beam will?
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She wonders if the Pendragon would ever have an ordinary day. However, she assumed that it would never happen. It was illogical to assume so:: *CO*: It would be logical to assume that things are not as they seem, Captain. Perhaps we should attempt to make our way through the asteroid if we cannot move around it.
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The "asteroid" is emitting a static electrical charge that is pulling it ever closer to the Pendragon.
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: The nature of the beam will allow us to repel from the rouge planet. I'm still unclear as to why we can't fly around the damn thing.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It's like its being drawn to us...
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Doctor's request::  *MO* I know it's only dust doctor, but it's dust with a density vastly in excess
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CEO: Sensible Commander.  Initiate tractor beam
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Coming right up
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Do you think Doctor Servek's theory has merit?
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::activates a reverse tractor beam, hoping to push them away from the rouge planet::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
*CO*: Logic would dictate that it could work. However, logic may dictate that many things may work as well.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It would either work or we'd get squished like a bug.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::begins to think the doctor's logic is suspect::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: I was afraid you'd say that.
Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the tractor beam fires, the dust particle is attracted all the more to the Pendragon. However, the energy generated by the electrical field propels the Pendragon even farther away from the object.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::runs new scans trying to determine the source of the charge::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sees the action on the view screen and waits for the reports::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She wonders if she would make a better Captain than Phail. Captain Servek... an interesting thought::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO/CNS: Opinions?  Shut everything down or intensify the tractor beam?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Doctor, Sickbay is dust free correct?
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I say we intensify the beam
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  It's static electricity, generated by friction.  I just don't understand....  ::pours over the data some more::
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::Servek taps in several commands on her console, attempting to look closer at the asteroid. Perhaps there was something the Bridge Crew missed:: *CO*: Would you expect any less, Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Friction...  the static is attracting the dust?
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Possibly.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Then tell me Doctor... what would repel dust from any surface?
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::trying to run simulations, but can't adapt to the scale of it::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: How are the engines holding up Commander?
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: They are functioning at 98% efficiency
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The electrical field is pushing the Pendragon at an ever-increasing rate. The current speed of the Pendragon is Warp 8.7 and increasing, quickly.
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Only 98% Commander?  Your Starfleet Record shows a higher rating than that on a bad day.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: *CO*: There are several ways, Captain. A filter and excessive cleaning would be two methods. Electrical charges may also work..
CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: It's the strain we're under - it's taking its toll.
MO_Lt_Servek says:
::She wonders if she will be asked to dust the entire ship after this conversation::
Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO*/CEO: Exactly doctor.  Tell me?  Can we create an electrical field around the Pendragon like a human body?
MO_Lt_Servek says:
*CO*: It is possible, Captain. However, it would take an extensive amount of power I would assume.
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::knows there is some basic fact he has failed to grasp::
Host Coot says:
ACTION: The dust particle reacts to the Pendragon's efforts and pushes it even harder. The Pendragon's speed hits 9.8, 9.9, and finally Warp 10. In a sudden flash, she disappears from sight.
Host Coot says:
