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

Host Cootles says:
The U.S.S. Pendragon launched an unauthorized investigation into the particulars of a Klingon vessel buried deep beneath the polar ice cap on a deserted Romulan outpost. The initial groups to arrive quickly decimated each other before the Pendragon could propose an amicable solution.

Host Cootles says:
Faced with limited time until reinforcements form both parties arrive, the Pendragon's Away Team must work quickly to figure out how this vessel came to be in its current location. In an attempt to draw attention away from the Away Team, the Pendragon is playing a dangerous bluff with a probe and an unremarkable comet.

Host Cootles says:
< < < < Begin Mission: Finders, Keepers, Part IV > > > >

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A handful of Romulan vessels have turned their attention to the probe and the comet it is chasing. The lead vessel is still bearing for the Pendragon.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>  ::following close behind the XO::

CIV_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at the helm monitoring long-range sensors::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::on the bridge monitoring power flows, comms and whatever else::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The Away Team enters the cavern in which the Klingon vessel is contained. It is encased in black, angular rock on three sides. One side has been cleared and the doors to a cargo bay have been opened. Scans reveal no biological activity.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::Alicia looks over the information on her Tricorder closely as reaches the entrance to the Klingon vessel:: Mulder/Scully: Once we enter the ship, you two will search the lower decks, while Ensign Heins and I will search the Bridge.

CIV_Luchena says:
@<Mulder>::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CIV: Mr. Luchena... Status of the Romulan vessels?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She pauses for a few seconds as she attempts to locate the control panel that will give her access to the Klingon vessel:: MO: Can you detect any bio-signs within the vessel?

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  Most of the fleet has veered off, but what appears to be the flagship is heading our way.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::pulls out her Tricorder and scans the vessel::  XO: Nothing alive inside Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> ::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Sickbay to Captain Vn'dor.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CIV: Good.  Keep a close eye on them.  Let's hope that 'some' of the fleet isn't following it's flagship cloaked.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She pauses a moment and notes a different opening:: AT: It looks like one of the Cargo Bay doors have been left open. Lets take that route inside. Once we are inside, we'll split into our teams. ::She walks toward the Cargo Bay in a rushed fashion::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs then taps his Comm. Badge::  *Servek* Go ahead.

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::focuses on his scans::

CIV_Luchena says:
@<Mulder> ::follows along dragging Scully with him::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> *CO*: Captain, I have devised a way in which I can begin piecing Commander Yates-Luchena back together. The process involves the utilization of the transporter, piecing her together molecule by molecule. With your permission, I would like to begin the process.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::worriedly follows the XO in while clutching her medkit::

CIV_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Do you know of any way to detect cloaked Romulan ships?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She enters the Cargo Bay, nods to the two Security Officers, and makes her way toward where the Bridge should be:: MO: Have you ever been aboard a Klingon ship Doctor?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::growls thinking there could have been a more appropriate time to report this::  *Servek* By all means Lieutenant

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CIV:  Apart from tachyon emissions?  I'm afraid I haven't read up on it lately ...

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Heins steps on something dead that resembles a mouse.

CIV_Luchena says:
::freezes as he overhears the comm from sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> ::She pauses for a moment as she hears the growl:: *CO*: Have I offended you in some way, Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::looks at the Commander oddly wondering if the XO thinks she looks older than she is::  XO: No ma'am, I've only been out of the Academy for a year and the Pendragon is my first posting.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*Servek*: No Lieutenant.  You may proceed.  Vn'dor out.

CIV_Luchena says:
@<Mulder> ::follows Scully as they make their way to the lower decks::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::lets out a squeak as she sees what she stepped on::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She smiles a bit:: MO: Just wait until the day you are asked to serve aboard one of the Klingon Birds of Prey. I had to do it one time... and I never want to again. ::She looks around for a moment::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: What is it?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at Mikal, concerned:: CIV:  You OK?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessels investigating the probe have launched one of their own headed for the same comet. Neither group has altered course as of yet.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>  ::points well clutching her left hand in a fist around her chin::  XO: A dead rodent!

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> ::She wonders why the Pendragon always seems to have over-emotional Commanding Officers. Perhaps Starfleet lacked controlled Starfleet Captains:: Nurse Barnes: Nurse, it is time to begin the process.

CIV_Luchena says:
::gives Jordan a haunted look, then tries to focus on the sensor readings::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She rolls her eyes slightly:: MO: You are a Doctor, and yet, a dead rodent scares you?

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  They are sending a probe after ours.  We have their attention.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::thinks she'll talk to him later ... focuses back on her tasks:: CO: I'm rerouting power to wherever it is needed.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::quickly retrieves her medkit off the ground near the carcass and scurries back toward the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ACMO: Sounds good to me Doctor. I believe we are ready to proceed on our end. We just need to be certain we don't lose transporter access during the procedure. Not even for a second.

CIV_Luchena says:
::wonders what's happening down in sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CIV: Excellent job Mr. Luchena.  Nice idea by-the-way.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis, any word from our Away Team?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Not yet, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She continues through the Klingon ship:: MO: Keep up with me Doctor. ::After a few moments, Alicia finds what looks like a schematic of the ship:: MO: Well... it looks like we've found a road map.

Host Cootles says:
@ SCENE: As the Away Team presses deeper into the vessel, more of the dead mice are seen. It seems unlikely they would have come this far below the surface. Perhaps they escaped from a lab inside the ship...

CIV_Luchena says:
::reorients at the sound of the CO's voice::

CIV_Luchena says:
::monitors sensors::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Should I attempt to establish contact?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: What is up with all of these rats Ensign? From your scans, how old do they seem? And what is their potential planet of origin?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO_Heins>::follows close behind the XO tip-toeing around the dead rodents::  XO: Do you think the whole ship is like this?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::practically hugging the XO she pulls out a Tricorder and scans what's left of them::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> Barnes: That is well known Miss Barnes. Let's begin. ::The medical staff begins the process of re-assembling Ashley Lynn Yates-Luchena, one molecule at a time::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Might be best if we didn't.  The Romulans might be tipped off.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: The Bridge is five levels up from our current position. Let's see if we can find a lift. ::She begins to walk again:: MO: Keep close.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Agreed.  So we wait ...

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Scans reveal it has only been a few days since the rodents have died.

CIV_Luchena says:
::thoughts drift to Ashley::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::scratches her head::  XO: This is odd ma'am...  ::scans again to be sure::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shifting in her chair::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She turns to look at Heins:: MO: What's odd?

CIV_Luchena says:
::attempts to ~~~sense~~~ his wife::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CIV: Mr. Luchena, if you'd rather be at her side....  I'll understand.  ::smiles at him but knows it's better to have someone focused on the bridge at this time::

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  Thank you Captain.  ::abandons his post in a hurry and rushes to the Turbo Lift, avoiding eye contact with anyone on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: These rodents have only been dead a few days...  Put that together with a Klingon vessel nowhere near as old as the rock it's buried in....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::reroutes Sensors to her console, along with most everything else::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Is... is someone there? I... hello?~~~

CIV_Luchena says:
::steps into the turbolift and ~~~hears~~~ her::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Think you can handle it Ms Thraxis?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I think so ...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: One of the Romulan vessels has caught up to the Pendragon's probe and is locking onto it with a tractor beam.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She inclines her head in understanding:: MO: It seems there is more to this mystery than what meets the eye. These rats may have been placed on this ship by the Romulans, or perhaps this Klingon vessel has been in service but was captured. We'll be able to determine what has happened once we reach the Bridge. Can you surmise how the rats died?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, the Romulans have captured our probe ...

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~XO:  I'm coming Ashley.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Who.... what are you? I... Ashley? Per... who...?~~~

CIV_Luchena says:
::emerges from the lift and hurries down the corridor::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: But how did the ship get buried in 10,000 year old rock?  Do you suppose they were doing what we did to the Pegasus?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::scans the biological make-up of the rats to see what they perished of::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She finally finds a lift and motions for Heins to take a step into it:: MO: A very good question. There aren't too many ways a ship can be buried in rock this old. Especially with no evidance of a dig... a transporter would even be... difficult. One that powerful isn't very possible.

CIV_Luchena says:
::dashes into sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> CIV: Mr. Luchena, please remain at a safe distance. This is a very delicate procedure. The slightest touch may disturb the reassemblage process.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>::steps into the lift with an audible sigh::  XO: That would be one powerful transporter beam.  ::looks around the lift::  Do you think the ship still has power?

CIV_Luchena says:
::stands still::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Scans show the rodents died of old age.

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  I'm Mikal.  Don't you remember me?~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: There is light Doctor. ::She motions to the lights all around them:: Computer: Level 1. ::She mutters in Klingon::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins>  ::looks at the Tricorder results::  XO: Old age ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Michael? I am Michael? I... salads have many things in them. Greens... and purple things too.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis, you have known Mr Luchena longer than I have...  How badly do you think he has taken to the death of his son and the injury of his wife?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She nods:: MO: How old are they?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Lights pop on throughout the room. There are a series of bloodstains splashed across the walls. However, there are no Klingon or Romulan bodies within site.

CIV_Luchena says:
::closes his eyes and swallows hard::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  It's hard to say.  I have found that his reactions tend to be unpredictable ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: No older than the age most rats get to...  2 to 4 tops.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs::  Jordan: Unpredictability is one thing I never appreciate....

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: And they have been dead for how long?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She steps onto Level 1 as she notices the nice change of scenery:: MO: Scan the blood...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: CO:  Then maybe you need to count me in that, too ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::sees the lights come on:: XO: Guess that answers my question.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She turns her attention to Mikal for a moment:: CIV: She'll be fine. Don't worry. ::Janice smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Jordan: Count you in as unpredictable or not liking unpredictability?

CIV_Luchena says:
::opens his eyes and takes a deep breath::  Barnes:  How long is this going to take?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Tactical console begins beeping an automated sequence, something pre-programmed by whoever used it last.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears the beeping ... but as she has so much slaved to her own console she can't leave to see what it is::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::Alicia makes her way over to one of the consoles and begins to look it over. She was glad that she had learned to read Klingon. It came in handy from time to time:: MO: Be ready for any surprises.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns hearing the Tactical Console and approaches it to see what is going on::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Both.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> CIV: Several hours to perhaps a day. It depends how long it takes her body to accept its molecules back.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks up briefly from the console::  Jordan: Then that is something we are going to have to work through.  ::continues to read the console::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> ::She continues working on the process::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Owie! That hurts!~~~

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Coinciding with the beeping, a large explosion is detected from the vessel that tractored the probe aboard. Half of the vessel is missing and its warp core has gone unstable. Mulder and Scully must have been experimenting with the probes.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  But then, life on this ship is anything but predictable.

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  What hurts, Love?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::places a finger over the controls::  XO: Where are we headed ma'am?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: To gather information. Have you discovered whose blood is present throughout the Bridge? ::She begins to press several buttons on the console, attempting to find the last log entry::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sir, sensors just registered a large explosion ... the vessel that tractored the probe is ... well ... only half of what it was ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::grits his teeth::  Jordan: I think the unpredictable nature of the Universe has just played a practical joke on us.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  More like on the Romulans ... and I can't say I'm sorry either ...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Incoming comm from the Yertoast.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Owie! It hurts! I... I... I don't like it! Make it stop! Make it stop!~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Who do you think they are going to turn their attention to because of this?  ::smirks at Thraxis::

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes:  She's in pain!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  We got an incoming comm ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Not yet ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> CIV: How would you know?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Put it on screen.  ::steps forward::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::puts the comm on screen::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: I'm assuming Klingon, but look for Romulan residue as well. ::She continues to search through the system::

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes:  I can sense it.  ::frowns at her::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Yertoast: Commander....

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Scans of the blood reveal it to be nearly void of biological material. Most of the DNA present has degraded.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> CIV: I'm a bit surprised that she is semi-conscious... her brain is not fully together as of yet.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::shakes her head::  XO: Hard to tell at this point ma'am.  The blood has degraded to a point where all biological material has wasted away.

Host Cootles says:
# <Yertoast> COMM: Pen: CO: Starfleet pig! I will take pleasure in watching the cold grip of death strangle the life from you! What have you done?!?

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes: Can you do it without activating her pain receptors?  She's hurting.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Then try your hand at research Doctor. See what you can find out from their records. Data streams, comms, weapons, potential conflicts, all of that and more.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Yertoast: Protected Starfleet property for which you have tried to acquire.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Yertoast: There are those that would consider that an act of war.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> CIV: Not unless we remove them completely. I assume those would be necessary for her when she resumes normal life Mr. Luchena. It is a painful process, but I believe she will not remember any of it when she comes to.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Aye ma'am.  ::tries to access the systems from another terminal beside the XO::

CIV_Luchena says:
Barnes:  That she won't remember is little consolation for her suffering.

Host Cootles says:
# <Yertoast> ::curses in numerous colorful strings of Romulan that would make even the heartiest of Klingons blush before cutting the comm::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I guess you told him ....

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::smiles as he watches the Romulan disappear from view::  Jordan: So it would seem

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  I cannot make it stop, Love.  I'm sorry.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She examines all of the logs as they appear on her station:: *Mulder/Scully*: We have about 45 minutes left before we're to return to the shuttle. Have you found anything of importance?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::continues to read through pieces of data in the Klingon vessel::

CIV_Luchena says:
@<Mulder> *XO*:  Nothing so far, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I don't want to die! Please... I want Kalek! I want Lahn! Please! I need them! I need my companions! I... I...per... oh..eh...~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: This investigation doesn't seem to be turning out much. Why would the Romulans want this ship? ::She pauses:: Computer: How did this vessel get in its current location? ::She asks in Klingon::

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  You're not going to die.  The pain will pass.  I'm here with you.  Don't be afraid.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Back to Mr. Luchena...  Is there anything you could tell me about him that might prove useful?  He is hurting and I believe his hate and pain is being directed at me.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I don't know you! I want Lahn! Bring him to me! He can protect me!~~~

Host Cootles says:
@ <CPU> XO: Unknown. All references to the previous twelve hours have been removed from the databse.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Yet, there was a time when he was the only rock I had ...

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  Where can I find him?  This Lahn?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Ma'am, most of these logs seem doctored in some way, but there does show mention of this once being trilithium rich

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Computer: Activate backup files. ::She orders in Klingon:: MO: Yes... it seems the Romulans or Klingons were smart. We need to find something useful. Try to find whatever you can about what occurred over the past 12 hours.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: I think our friend Mr. Luchena needs a rock of his own right about now.  I owe it to his sister.  ::thinking of Luna briefly::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods:: CO:  He has never spoken to me of his family ...

Host Cootles says:
@ <CPU> XO: No such files exist. Restate your request.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Really?  I find that odd.  His sister was a marvelous Counsellor in my opinion.  I remember when she fell in love with my Chief Medical Offcier Varr...  Those two were inseparable.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  But, when Mikal hurts, he tends to retreat inwards ... I doubt he is deliberately directing his pain at you.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@Computer: Who were the last individuals aboard this vessel according to your records? ::She asks in Klingon, still attempting to break through the files on the Bridge::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The lead Romulan vessel has increased speed and it communicating to every vessel in the area. They are claiming the exploding probe is an act of war.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Hears chatter on the Romulan channels:: Self:  Uh oh ...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I hope you know how to fight Romulans ... they are claiming the probe explosion is an act of war.  Every vessel in the area is being contacted ...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I suggest we retrieve the AT and get out of here as quickly as possible.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She begins to look over the scans of the Klingon vessels, attempting to note if there is anything interesting on any of the levels::

CIV_Luchena says:
::sits, watches and waits::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Nurse Barnes> ::She turns back toward the CIV for a few seconds before going back to work with Servek:: ACMO: He really loves her.

Host Cootles says:
@ <CPU> XO: The last individuals aboard the vessel were ::stops mid-sentence:: Unknown request. Please restate your request.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Report in kind Ms Thraxis.  Send on all frequencies a report on how we were forced to self destruct a probe that was falling into Romulan hands and...  ::pauses smiling as he remembers the false vessel he talked about earlier::  Jordan: ...and requests assistance from the U.S.S. Ajax, the Galaxy class in the next system...  Tell them....

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: ...them that they are finally going to get their chance to "clean" up the region.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> Barnes: Irrelevant.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::hearing the CPU::  XO: That was odd...

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Lets take a trip to the Computer Core, shall we? ::She heads back toward the lift:: MO: Something does not feel right. Like... someone may be manipulating the computer...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::composes the message, including sensor data from the probe and the request for the Ajax, with the "clean up" clause.  Sends it off

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The XO notes several advanced technological advances built into the sensors. Most of the technology is to keep all activities of the vessel unconfirmed and littered with disinformation. Furthermore, there are no records beyond 12 hours old.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: OK ma'am...  but I do not feel comfortable taking the lift again.  Can we climb down the back up access ladder?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::watches until she is sure the message is gone:: CO:  Sent.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Shall I recall the away team?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::can't help but to smile::  Jordan: That is what we call in command...  a bluff.

CIV_Luchena says:
::puts his head in his hands::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  So the Romulans think more ships are on the way ... nice ...

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: We don't have time. Unless you're a fast climber? ::She makes a mental note of the information:: MO: Someone has tampered with this ship a great deal. Records no less than 12 hours are gone... tons of programs causing incoherent data. ::She shakes head::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Negative.  I did hear your earlier suggestion but I don't want to bring attention to them.  So far the Romulans are unaware.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods and keeps her eyes peeled on the sensors, monitoring any movement by the Romulan fleet::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Ma'am... I can't help but to feel uneasy that if we take the lift something is going to happen.... almost like the ship is alive and will do us harm.  I can't help this feeling, I know it's unrealistic.

CIV_Luchena says:
::weeps::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Mulder and Scully report detecting movement on Level 4, but being unable to locate it presently.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@MO: Then you better climb fast. That's an order. ::She makes her way to one of the access hatches, pulls it open, and crawls inside::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::quickly takes up the rear and climbs fast::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She orders Mulder and Scully to attempt to discover the identity of the movement:: MO: Perhaps the computer is also influencing our Tricorders. I want you to be ready to grasp your weapon at any moment. ::She climbs and climbs and climbs::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Tweezles... what are those?~~~

CIV_Luchena says:
@<Mulder and Scully>::proceed as ordered::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> XO: Yes....  ::pauses realizing the intensity of what the XO is asking::  Yes ma'am.  ::continuing her climb::

CIV_Luchena says:
::weeps all the harder::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: What are the fleet movements now?

Host Cootles says:

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Still heading this way.  ETA in 2 hours.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::grits his teeth::  Jordan: Is it possible to project an image of a Galaxy class against the wreckage of the two fleets out there?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She stops at the level in which the Computer Core is located. She makes her way onto the proper level:: MO: Lets move. ::She begins to jog::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO: We "may" be able to project an image using to holosystems ... but it'll take time to set up.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::being still quite young and athletic she carries on the job behind the XO... her blonde pony-tail waggign back and forth::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: We Tweezle... Be Tweezle?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Then that is your first order of business Ms Thraxis.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Several large "clangs" are heard coming from the computer core. It sounds as though someone is attempting disassemble the core by hand.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::hears the clangs::  XO: Odd that my Tricorder reported no signs of life.

CIV_Luchena says:
::distressed::~~~Yates:  Stop it.   They never existed.  They never manifested.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods:: CO:  I'll need to manually configure the holosystems from one of the holodecks.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She stops outside of the Computer Core. Alicia withdraws her phaser:: MO: Doctor. ::She motions for her to do the same:: MO: If something attacks us from the other side, you fire. Is that understood?

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Tweezle... Albaron Thraxis was killed by them. Why? Then... I was Captain? But... I killed him!~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::pulling out the phaser::  XO: Yes ma'am.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The clanging continues oblivious to anyone else nearby.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::feels her hand sweating under the phaser's handle::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She moves toward the door and presses the panel next to it in hopes that it will open::

CIV_Luchena says:
::reliving every folly he ever created::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets up and hands over OPS ... rushes to the TL and enters.::

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  They never existed.  They never were.~~~

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Ashley's vital signs are becoming erratic and Mikal's vital signs begin to mimic them.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: Then.... no! I HATE IT! I DON'T LIKE THESE MEMORIES! I am a horrible person!~~~

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Yates:  Not you, Love.   No.  Those memories are mine.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<ACMO Lt. Servek> Barnes: Attempt to stabilize Mrs. Luchena. I will begin to slow the process until it has been done.

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
<Ashley Yates-Luchena> ~~~CIV: I ruined everything! I'm going to jail! Vn'dor! I hate him! And Simmons! I don't want these memories!~~~

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: The computer core doors open to reveal a creature tearing at the computer structure with a metal rod of sorts. Components and circuitry go flying off in various directions.

CIV_Luchena says:
::screams::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@<MO Heins> ::points her phaser at the creature::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::contacts engineering, asking them to install 3 holoemitters on the outside of the hull, in specific locations.  Begins working on what they are going to project::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::waits on baited breathe on what will happen next::

XO_Cmdr_Kirchof says:
@::She points her phaser at the creature:: Creature: Stop what you're doing and back away from the Computer Core. One wrong move and I won't hesitate to fire.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Ashley's form explodes with an outburst of emotion. Her molecules scatter throughout the field before quickly reforming. She briefly locks onto Mikal’s eyes before recognizing him and collapsing to the deck floor of Sickbay.
