USS Sharikahr Mission Transcript – 10211.21

“Suspending Disbelief”

Chapter II 

Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Sharikahr, still on course to Luna, is engaged in a life and death game of cat and mouse... but the "cat" is a 7-foot humanoid "fishman".

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::on the bridge, manning her department from her station when she has an idea::  *CMO*: Could it be possible to block this creatures telepathic abilities with certain frequencies... such as a high pitched whistler or music?

Deep_one says:
::Standing over a dead body licking its lips::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::In sickbay, dealing with the latest casualty.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns from console:: CO: Force field access restricted sir, you, XO, CTO and myself.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::At science one, tracking the creature, still has it on the main view screen::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::at OPS scanning for any personnel that might still be in the creatures way so she can beam then out::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns his chair around:: CEO: Good. How was the performance before they started going off. Were they hemming it in?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Pauses and considers::  *CNS*:  It is possible.  Is the doctor around?  She seemed to have some idea of the creature from historical  records.  Is there any mention of music as such used on it?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Until someone dropped them sir.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
*CMO*: I will ask. ::looks for the doctor::

Katira says:
::In the Captains ready room with Avi, watching the children while reading through an engineering manual update.::

Dr_Bones says:
::stands next to the Captain's chair watching the interaction on the bridge as they search for her artifact::

Deep_one says:
::Wiping his mouth, moves down the hall to a Jefferies tube entrance::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to CSO:: CSO: Hayward, what about subsonic noise? Would it interfere with that creature?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::narrows gaze:: CEO: Then let's see that that doesn't happen again. ::turns back to face front.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to Mia:: OPS: How confident are you in the computer's security, Ensign?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
Dr. Bones: Sir, would it be possible to block the creature’s telepathic abilities with certain frequencies... such as a whistle or music?  Any kind of mention like that in the records?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks over shoulder at the Captain and wonders if he remembers that others also dropped the fields::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: The computer is locked down as tight as we can get it, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watching the shadowy image of the creature on the screen, trying to fathom what it really is::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Thinks:: CEO: A subsonic harmonic cycling at only 5 hertz would produce hemorrhaging in soft tissues. At least in bipeds. It should be easy enough to rig up, we can shield ourselves from its effect

Katira says:
::At a tug on her sleeve looks down to see Kerian::  Hey, what are you doing awake?  ::Picks her nephew up and cuddles him, humming him back to sleep.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: What I mean to say is, do you think we could load a program into the computer, then deny all access to that program once it started to run?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods:: CSO: Have to evacuate all the decks from 14 down.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CEO: Agreed.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: Aye sir...it's possible.  ::thinking about it::

Dr_Bones says:
CNS: Counselor, we haven't had the time to examine its brain waves and frequencies yet, so we don't know. After all that is why you are to transport us back to Luna for further analysis.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eyes dart around the room as he follows the nebulous ideas floating around::

Deep_one says:
::Enters the JT, and starts crawling, trying to find something new to eat::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: We'd have to deny all  access.  One failsafe and it couldn't work.

Dr_Bones says:
::leans over to the Captain and whispers:: CO: Captain, you aren't planning on harming it are you?

Deep_one says:
::Comes to what looks like an intersection, and starts to make its way up::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
XO: ::working it out as she speaks:: We could make it so that only a hard boot would reset it.  Or that it timed out after so many hours. ...::looks up at him:: Are you thinking about the force fields?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Ties off the artery with a sigh.  Seeing that there is no one else waiting, she hands her patient over to one of her nurses to complete the healing.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Checks the force fields across deck 14 and all the locked Jefferies tube access below deck 13::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Dr. Do you have anything on the molecular structure of this thing? Would it be vulnerable to sound waves…. ::enticing:: we might be able to render it harmless without killing it if I have more information.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::decides to have Susan do some prelim testing on the sonic &subsonic field::  OPS: Would it be possible to try to beam that thing back into stasis?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances over at her:: Bones: If necessary. But it's a last resort. Why are you so concerned for its welfare, Doctor? You've seen it kill a half dozen people already.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head:: OPS: We'd have to get rid of the hard boot option.  ::nods as he hears her::  Right.  I mean, telepathy doesn't work on technology, last time I checked.

Deep_one says:
::Comes to a deck force field and stops::

Dr_Bones says:
CSO/CO: You must understand, we don't have all the answers at this time, but you must not harm it. It may be the last of its species!

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Being stopped at a force field, the mind of the creature once again reaches out.  This time to Main Engineering.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Pulling her bloody gown from her body, she drops it and the rest of her accoutrements into the hamper and walks to her officer, warn from her anger and the damage to tissue... the waste of life.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: This think is killing our people. As a scientist myself, I'm loath to destroy life. However........

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir, force fields are still up across deck 13... all Jefferies tube accesses are locked out on that deck too.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: Bones: If we don't find a way to stop this thing, we might be the last of *our* species, Doctor. I don't want to harm it. And I won't if I have a choice. But right now, its value is secondary to the lives of this crew.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A crewman grabs a phaser and begins taking out main power.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
OPS: There is another solution to getting rid of the fail-safes, of course.  We could put the program in action then, incapacitate every person on the ship.  I don't really see that as an option though.  ::spots the alert from the phaser fire::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her head in frustration to Keely and turns her attention to her console:: XO: We have phaser fire in ME.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: All systems go down, just as the crewman is subdued by the other engineers in the area.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO/CO: This is an intelligent creature and it reasons. See how it outwits your crew at every turn.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Gets a garbled comm from Joat::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Closing the door, sits down on her couch to catch her breath::  *CO*:  Just to let you know, we have taken care of all current casualties.  Would be real nice if we could keep it from growing.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::frowns at Mia's head shake and the sudden loss of systems::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::was forming a reply to bones when the lights go out:: Self: What the hell?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Report!

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir, Chief Joat reports one of my techs is shooting.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::irritated:: Dr Bones; If the damn thing is so intelligent why is it killing us? It's not logical to kill without provocation

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO/XO: Trying to bring up back-up systems.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::let's out a deep breath as the ship's power lessens:: Aloud: Lovely.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
All: All force fields are down...we're running on battery power only.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Sits back up, looking around::  Now what...

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Moves to his console and activates his consoles back up, basically just turns the blinking lights back on::

Deep_one says:
::Moves quickly upwards::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: EPS is shut down...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Across the board.

Dr_Bones says:
::moves over to the CSO::CSO: You would kill a child that does not understand? It is hungry after a millennium and must feed.

Katira says:
::Glances at the view screen, holding Keiran close.  No, her family needed her here.  There were plenty in engineering right now to take care of things.  If they needed her, they would call.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO/XO: Checking rerouting now...

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::growls:: CEO: Well get it back up again! OPS: Ensign Clooney, start rerouting fusion power to the secondary feeds until we can get them back and running.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Where exactly is that thing?

Deep_one says:
::Quickly makes it to deck nine and exits the JT::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
OPS: You're faster at this... reroute from junction 7-134-hg.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tries to reroute as much power to the force fields as possible:: CO: Aye sir, already doing it.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: And it likes warm-blooded crewmen for dinner. Why the hell wouldn't it just ask for food if it's so damn smart! :;fiddles with his console, trying to get anything running::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CO: Last report it was on deck 14. It could be anywhere by now

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Core on line... lost warp for now  but can get it back... IPS still up.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CEO: Aye sir... ::does it:: I'm also bringing up more juice from the secondary units.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::hears Woody then turns to Bones:: Bones: Could we... give it food?  Or does it need to hunt?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::informs Susan to resume her testing when the power goes up again::

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: Your crew is a food source, just as you feed on animal flesh. It knows of no other way.

Deep_one says:
::Passing by the crew quarters, debates on what one to go in::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CEO: I need these systems back up on its feet, Lieutenant. And quickly! ::gets up from his chair::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
XO: Shinji. ::beckons him over::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::pulls himself away from Bones with a grimace, not getting the answers he wanted:: CO: Sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Mutters at CO's comment:: Self: No kidding.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::reroutes as much power around the damaged section as possible:: CEO: Sir, those secondary junctions aren't going to hold for much longer.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Goes back out to the main room::  All:  Listen up everyone.  Worse comes to worse, I want you all into the Jefferies tubes.  I want to keep the patients in the quarantine room.  There is no way we could carry the patients with us.  And there is no way we can all fit into the quarantine rooms.  But if we need to divide, we might be able to succeed.

Dr_Bones says:
XO: We do know that it eats meat, but again, the scientists on Luna were to determine what else it requires.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Then it is not intelligent. I don't go out and kill a cow every time I'm hungry ::sighs:: But I understand you. It's a predator by nature....so.....::flashes:: If we gave it something more attractive to eat. What would be its natural food?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
All:  So let’s get things set up for the worse case and hope for the best.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: What do you mean "more attractive?"

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Yells over shoulder while punching the bright colored spots on his console:: CSO: You try that subsonic thing yet?

Deep_one says:
::Shaking its head looks up sensing more from the deck above and jumps back into the JT::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Finishes the Situation Report for Starfleet the Captain Requested.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: What is its native food? Certainly not people.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
OPS: Starting to see some life here... normal flow to EPS subsystem.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: It prefers "live" prey as far as I have determined.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Slams fist on console:: CO: No force fields.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hands flying over her console as she gathers up the power that they are gaining and sends it along:: CEO: I'm routing it to the internal sensors...at least we can track this thing.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::grips his shoulder and speaks quickly:: XO: You have the conn. I'm going to take some people down and find out where this thing is. The fields aren't working and we're not accomplishing a damned thing from up here. I need you watching our back, okay?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: Rather the lock out is gone... can't restrict access.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Takes the PADD over to the Captain.:: CO: Sir here is that report you requested for Starfleet.

Deep_one says:
::Slithers its way up to deck 8::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head, knowing arguing to a marine won't help:: CO: Aye sir.  But I don't see what going to this thing will accomplish.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks over Ike's shoulder:: CEO: Then we have to find another way to restrict access. ::still cussing quite fluently in his mind::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Helps everyone prepare the patients and takes them into the quarantine rooms.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Ensures the emergency force field is in place around Engineering::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: Commander. With power back, it's possible we could confuse the creature by offering alternative targets. Holographic ones, with a sufficient dose of the appropriate aromatics, it might work

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans back down again:: XO: We know what not going to it has accomplished: Squat. We can't keep this up. We don't have that many people for it to eat. ::looks at him:: Watch my back.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes the PADD from Amber, reads it quickly, and nods back:: CIV: Send this. Get us some help out here.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::Quickly takes the PADD to OPS for it to be sent Priority.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands back up and grabs a phaser from behind the tactical console:: CSO/OPS: Lieutenant, Ensign. Come with me!

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::nods to his CO and turns to the front of the Bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::heads back toward the turbolifts::

Deep_one says:
::Passing quickly through the halls, stands beside the doors to Engineering::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CO: Right behind you. ::follows::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::While everyone finishes up, she leaves one nurse with them along with any necessary supplies.  Then using her codes, she secures the area.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grabs her phaser and stands up looking at Keely and giving a quick tight grin as she follows the captain::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up with concern to see Woody go::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
All:  One good thing about medical, we have our own back up.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CSO: I wouldn't want to try that and waste what power we have.  ::speaks to him as he leaves::  When we get more back we'll try it.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::grabs a phaser and a tricorder::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
OPS: Ma'am, the Captain requests that this situation report be sent as top Priority to Starfleet and to request reinforcements.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::gestures towards Yesman who slides into the OPS console:: CIV: Have him do it.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::worries about Mia as well and gives her an encouraging smile::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Speaks a loud to no one in particular:: A Loud: Anyone really know what this thing eats? ::Looks at Bones::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::nods at Ikari::

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, may I come along?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::clips the holstered phaser on his hip and shrugs:: Bones: It's your life. ::calls the turbolift:: TL: Deck 8.

Dr_Bones says:
:;turns to the CEO:: CEO: Live prey Lt.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
OPS: Good luck ma'am.  ::Gives the report to Yesman with the instructions.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Snorts as Dr. Bones leaves with the Captain::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::leans down towards Keely as she passes by:: CNS: A walk in the park. ::jumps in the TL after the CO::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
Self: Then we should get along well.

Dr_Bones says:
::grabs her equipment bag and accompanies the Captain::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, do we have a plan? ::readies his phaser::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Nods:: CSO: Yes. 'Don't die."

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CMO*:  Dr. Ahkileez, the Captain has assigned me to assist you, where do you want me to report to?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*:  I am sorry, assist me in what?  I didn't realize you had a medical background.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::gulps:: CO A-a-aye Sir

Deep_one says:
::Shakes its head and moves down the hall to Sickbay::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> ::follows the instructions and sends it::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::grins and powers up her phaser as they ride the TL down::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CMO*:  I do ma'am,  I worked as an EMT during High School and during Extended Vacations from the Academy.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at the phaser as one hands it to her::  Gills:  Where did you get this?

Dr_Bones says:
::thinks to herself in the lift that the Antican might be a tasty treat for her pet::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
<Gills> ::shrugs::  Always be prepared... good motto... I try.

Deep_one says:
::Slips in to sickbay::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::waits for the turbolift to stop, breaks out in a sweat:: Dr/OPS/CO: Everybody ready? ::hopes the thing isn't right out the door:: Opening ....now........

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Smiles::  Gills:  Thanks.   Now, help them open up the duct and hope it is not something anyone has to use.  ::Smiles, knowing it would be almost impossible for her to use it.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::readies her phaser and points it towards the door::

Dr_Bones says:
::leans closer to the CSO::CSO: Ready.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::tries to reenter the force field restrictions::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Phaser pulled:: ALL: Lets go, we need top evacuate Sickbay first. ::steps out::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks over to Magh:: CEO: Ensign Clooney and I were discussing a possible solution.  Is there anywhere on this ship that is basically physically inaccessible?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*:  Well, right now, we have things in hand.  Our patients are in quarantine and we are ready to depart on a moments notice.  Could you get me a report from Dr. Bones?  A complete one?

Dr_Bones says:
::keeps her hand in the bag searching for something::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CMO*: He is currently with the Captain heading your way ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to XO and reviews ship schematics in mind::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::follows along and then skims along the wall to take point and peer around the corner::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CIV*:  Thanks... ummm... why are they heading my way?... ::Pauses::  Damn... intruder alert.

Deep_one says:
::Keeping close to the ground, crawls over to a bio bed and looks over an unconscious patient::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::leads the way through the corridor, headed for sickbay::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: The Captain's yacht sir... I can lock it in and then separate it from Sharikahr.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CMO*: To help evacuate sickbay ma'am.  Doctor is the being in sickbay?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Motions for her staff to get a move on and out.  Looks over at Gills who is aiming his weapon shakily::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> *CO*/XO: Intruder alert in sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::thinks along those lines:: CEO: And we could separate it from the ship, towing it with our tractor beam.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::moving at a good clip and doubles his speed when he hears the location: Self: Oh God... ::breaks out in a run, frantically searching mentally for his wife::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Quietly:: *CIV*:  Yes.. can you beam us out?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
All: We've got to move. ::opens sickbay door::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: But that may not solve its mind control.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::grinds his teeth:: *Yesman*: Do not engage.  Evacuate immediately.  I repeat, do not engage.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Watches as the staff quickly exits::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: We don't know how far it can reach out.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Thinks::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Runs to the OPS console.::  XO:  Sir the being is in sickbay, the Doctor is requesting an emergency beam out.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> *CMO*: Do not engage on XO's orders.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Well, if we set up the computer to run this on its own, denying all access to the program, the creature's mind control wouldn't really enter into it.

Deep_one says:
::Grumps in frustration as it finds nothing::

Dr_Bones says:
::sticks close behind the CSO and OPS::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*Yesman*:  Do not engage?  Ummm... if it wants to dance, I want a new partner.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::runs after the CO and skids into sickbay actually keeping her balance for once.  Sees the creature and takes aim::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: ::nods:: True.. then what?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Creature holds out its hand and any that have raised a phaser against the creature are unable to fire.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
*CMO*:  I'll se what I can do doc?  How many are there?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: And unable to move.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: What is going to lure it down there?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::freezes, in mid phaser draw::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::glances around::  *CIV*:  Just the five of now...   ::Looks at the others::

Dr_Bones says:
::moves around the group to the front since she has no weapon::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::finds herself frozen in place and thinks:: Self: Not again....

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks back at console to see the lockout has failed::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Then what?  Then we've got it contained.  That's when we can think of "then what?"

Deep_one says:
::Looks at the group and moves towards them::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::strains to reach for the trigger::

Dr_Bones says:
::raises her hands:: Deep One: We mean you no harm.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Creature walks up to the OPS officer and, reaching down, grabs her by the throat, lifting her off her feet.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Yesman: Can you get a transporter lock on those five?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: And getting it there how? ::punches more buttons on console::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Calls out::  Deep one:  Stop...

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::starts to choke and gasp for breath as she dangles helplessly::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Site-to-site transport is the only thing I can think of right now.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> ::tries to get a lock::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Aloud:: Mia!

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Have to get a lock sir.. that seems to be difficult.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The creature begins to probe the mind of the Ops officer... a deep probe.  Blood begins to trickle from her nose.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Vainly tries to put his phaser away to help Mia::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Yesman: Make sure you get the five crew and not the creature.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman>CIV: Understood.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Enters the computer program for yacht separation on command; also instructs computer to ignore future commands once activated::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::wants to flinch from the psionic backlash from the creature's probe but can't:: Creature: Stop! Stop it!

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Alright then, let's just walk this backwards.  What can we do to get a lock?  Plant a signature magnifier?

Katira says:
::Her eyes open wide as she senses something wrong::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Program entered.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tries to scream at the pain and break away but can't as she feels her mind being burned and torn::

Dr_Bones says:
::watches the scene in horror::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::feels helpless::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman>XO: I can transport everyone... except the OPS.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Perhaps heat signature.. have to check what Hayward did.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::continues to gasp harshly for breath as she feels herself begin to black out::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at Mia, whispering in her mind, she is sorry.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::rubs the back of his neck:: Yesman: No, don't leave her there by herself.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Steps over to CSO's console::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
~~~~::enters Mia's mind through the lingering trace of their mind meld and tries to block it:: ~~~~

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> ::nods:: XO: Aye sir.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::hears the Mia is in danger and calls up the vids to sickbay::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Creature is far too powerful for the Captain to overcome.  But it does notice him... and begins to hate him for his insolence.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir.. Hayward was tracking it... used bipolar thermal filters.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Sir she is being attacked by the creature, her biosigns are wavering.  ::Points to the internal sensors.::

Katira says:
::Stares at the closed doors, not moving... keeping her promise to guard the children with her life.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: We can't just leave everyone there to be attacked as well!  ::Looks at him with horror and disbelief in her face.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::sees that Mia is in trouble:: XO: Sir, permission to run a range of frequencies through the comm system of sickbay.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Could try to link transporter lock to this scan... not sure if it will work sir.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: the creature drops the limp and seemingly lifeless body of Ensign Clooney, and turns to the Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
~~~~::keeps on anyway, ignoring the pain and the headache he's going to have for weeks, putting up block after block futily:: Creature: She's been through enough! Leave her! ::not sure if he can get through to the alien mind:: ~~~~

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
<edit, put CO last before Action::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: If we could help her we'd have done it by now, Cadet.  CNS: Granted.  CEO: Run a simulation first, we want to get this thing by surprise

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Taking deep breaths, focuses on trying to locate her voluntary muscles.. any that will respond.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> XO: Sir,  I have a lock on all crew!

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
Yesman: Beam them to safety.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::runs the frequencies through the comm of sickbay::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Relieved that they are finally going to be beamed out.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> ::uses several transports and does so::  XO: Aye.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes a step back, balance shot to hell from the ringing in his ears:: Creature: Leave them alone! You want a big meal...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: If we can get it to the yacht... the program is ready.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::As soon as she fully materializes, she is painfully on her knees before Mia::  OPS:  Don't you dare die on me.  ::reaches into her pocket for her medical tricorder.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: And you're positive there's no way around it?  What about a hard boot?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: As the Captain dematerializes ha begins to feel the true power of this creature, and it strikes his heart with what could only be called terror.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  I haven't finished building your bed yet in sickbay...

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Rushes over to the CMO and OPS with a medical kit.:: CMO: Can I help.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Yesman> ::waits for them to beam onto the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: No sir... only way in after this will be access by Starfleet Engineering.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::rematerializes on the bridge::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CIV:  Hopefully...   ::Reaches for the medical kit::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: I presume we'll blow the yacht up?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sees the bridge reappear and stumbles, grabbing on to the Tac console to keep from falling::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Opens the kit next to the CMO.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CIV:  Her trachea is crushed... I need to get oxygen into her.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head:: CEO: No.  We only need to contain it.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::barely breathing...her throat rasping loudly::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Though the creature seems to be distracted by the frequencies, it seemingly does not impede it in any way.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CO: We need to try the subsonics. That thing....it was like touching death. ::looks over at Mia::

Dr_Bones says:
:;looks around as she reappears on the bridge and explodes into anger:: All: What is going on?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks wide-eyed at the XO::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CIV:  Give her some Dexalin.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CMO: We can open an airway into her bronchial tube, it’s crude and messy but it would work.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: What ever for?!  Sir.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
CO/XO: The sonic and subsonic ranges seem to do nothing more than distract it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::ears bleeding, can't seem to make out what Woody's saying:: CSO: What? ::shouts a little too loud::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Gets the Hypo and injects it into the OPS.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
OPS:  Hold on Mia...

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::speaks quickly, not allowing Magh to speak long:: CEO: No arguments, Lieutenant.  Starfleet wants it alive.  What we want doesn't enter into it.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks at Mia's limp figure and shudders::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Looks art his console:: CO: It didn’t' work.........

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Glances at Jyg::  CIV:  Take care of the captain.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Steps toward Mia and sees the cadet tending to her::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::reads his lips:: CSO: I know. ::can feel the cold touch all over his mind still::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: Hand me that medical kit.  ::Pointing to the one near her and walks over to the Captain.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::forces herself not to look at Mia::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Bones: We have to kill It.. That thing is evil.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Makes an opening below the crushed trachea::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO:  Sit down sir.  ::Motioning him to sit.::

Dr_Bones says:
::tries to remember her research notes on the amber liquid consistency::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks up at all the others that faced the creature::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Looks for Bones reaction::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tries vainly to get a breath through the blood, her mind a scrambled mess::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::has no choice now with the med kit being needed... grabs it and hands it to the cadet.::

Dr_Bones says:
CO: No Captain, you can't do that......let me think a moment.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::moves toward the Captain:: CO/Bones: We've got a plan that can spare the creature's life, if so desired.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::shudders at the sight of Mia on the floor::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: If we can get it back down to deck 13 we can try an electro-plasma burst.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Dumps the medkit on the floor, looking for something to use as a breathing apparatus.  Finding a small piece of tubing, inserts that into the trachea.::  CNS:  Keely, I need you to breath for her for a moment...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks back at Mia::

Dr_Bones says:
::mumbles:: Self: Amber liquid, buried....dark..

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CNS: Thanks.  ::Takes the tricorder out and scans the Captains head.::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::tries to push the chaos of the bridge out of his mind::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::falls into his seat so Amber can reach and listens to Shinji and Magh as they talk:: XO/CEO: What's that going to do?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Sighs:: CO: Would cause a lot of damage to the ship though.

Deep_one says:
:: Is a bit frustrated and continues wondering the halls::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::goes on auto-pilot and does as ordered with no thought.... everything just seemed to slow down::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CO: I really don't know sir... might stop the mind control.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Tapes the tube to Mia's throat.  Looking at Jyg::  CO:  I need to get her to sickbay... now.  Is that creature gone?

Dr_Bones says:
:;moves to the CSO:CSO: Quickly, give me the conditions in the cargo bay and then sickbay when the creature was brought aboard.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Takes some alcohol and pours it onto some gauze and starts cleaning the captain's ears from the blood to see where it is coming from.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::is racked with pain from her mind and body::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CO/CEO: Causing more damage to this ship is something I don't want to do.  If we can get a transporter lock, I think we can get it on the Captain's Yacht safely, and keep it there.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: What is the one thing both places contained?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Brings it up on his console and points:: Bones: It's right here. Have a look, salinity etc., it's all here

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Gives Mia some Asinolyathin for the pain.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::pain in his head making it hard to think:: CEO: Start working on it. ::blinks painfully and looks up at Ike:: XO: We'll save it, only if we can.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Water?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Looks in his ears.:: CO: Sir your eardrums may have burst.  It’s hard to tell with all the blood in your ears.  You’re going to need irrigation.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: No......look again!

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CO: Do you want something for the pain?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CIV:  Give the captain 3c's of Asinolyathin.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tries to open her eyes but slips down deeper instead::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks down at Mia and Dr. Ahkileez:: CMO: Take her to deck 5, when she's stable enough to move.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
XO:  She is as stable as I can get her here...

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Prepares the medicine.:: CMO: Yes ma'am.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Touches Keely’s arm::  CNS:  She is breathing on her own at the moment.  You can rest... for now.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: Light......both have light. We found the creature in total darkness, buried and encased in the dark amber. Am I getting through to you now?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir... maximum range for tractoring the yacht is about 15,000 km.. hopefully farther than it can mind control.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::strokes Mia's hair::  OPS: Hang on Mia... I don't want to lose you.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rubs his forehead, still trying to get past the ringing:: XO: We have to stop it. ::grabs his arm a little too tightly:: Do it for me.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: I don't see how we could have missed it. ::turns to the captain::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CMO: The Captain is going to need his ears irrigated to determine the extent of damage to his eardrums.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CMO: The bleeding is controlled for now.  ::Placing some gauze lightly in his ear canals.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CIV:  I will see to it as soon as I can.  Beam us to deck 5.
