“Suspending Disbelief”

Chapter III 

Host Frank_SM says:
Four hours has passed since the attack on the Operations Officer.  The Deep One is still loose on the Sharikahr, and feeding...

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::at his bridge console finishing adjustments to regain warp::

Host CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::is in the back-up sickbay working with those patients that had been hurt by the creature::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Think we'll have warp in three minutes.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Enters the bridge and heads to TAC station 1::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::On the bridge tracking the creature, keeping it on visual::

Dr_Bones says:
::looks at the CSO and wonders if he can figure the puzzle out::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::watches the data scroll by::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::looks over to Magh's station from his seat on the bridge:: CEO: Excellent.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::draws off his uniform jacket and pulls on the looser vest, zipping it up:: Self: Here goes... ::heads back out to the bridge from the conference room::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir... did we ever determine if that amber stuff would slow the fishman down?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CEO:  Lieutenant let me know when we can go to warp.  I've got a course laid in to Luna.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Runs internal scans to locate the alien::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CIV: ::speaks over right shoulder:: Of course.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: We could not determine how to replicate the substance.  At least, that was my understanding.

Host CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::sits and listens to an Ensign Tobi as he describes to her the horrific memories of his encounter::

Deep_One says:
::Finishing it's latest meal in a Jefferies tube, slowly heading out again::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::In science lab one, working on a modifying the cortical stimulator.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Do you really think that it's possible the creature was "awakened" By the light?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::tugs the vest down in place and walks up to the upper level of the bridge:: CSO: Where's our quarry?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: I have the alien on internal sensors.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Keeps the Sharikahr at maximum impulse on the course to Luna.::

Deep_One says:
::Exits the Jefferies tube and starts making its way down the corridor::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Have installed the transporter test plate in the transporter maintenance section.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::reassures the patient that he is safe and should try and get some rest.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO/CIV: Should have warp now.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Completing that task, puts it aside and contemplates making a decoy.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Nods to the CEO.:: XO: On your mark sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
TO: Thank you, Ensign Semaj. Where exactly is it?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CEO: What is the highest warp factor we can manage safely sir?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr. Bones: We could try different kinds of light on it, or an absence of light. We can track it easily enough.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: Think about the possibilities. The creature was encased in a dark amber liquid correct?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::stands up and stretches before more over to the side and hitting her commbadge::  *CMO*: How's it going? Do you need any help?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::waits for Magh's response to the cadet's question::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: It just left the Jefferies tube and is in section 21 beta on deck 7.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Considers it doesn't need to be much.  Goes into one of the closets and digs out one of the biohazard suits.  Getting some glue, begins to seal the ends.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
CIV: Should be able to do maximum... but hold to 8 for now.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr. Bones: Yes. Do we have the composition of the amber liquid? ::searches the database::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: TO: Arm yourself, you're coming with me. Bones: Doctor, are you up to a field trip?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CEO: Understood.  XO: Commander?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Checks his phaser and sets it for heavy stun::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::nods:: CIV: Warp eight, engage.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::only hears silence:: *CMO*: Doctor?

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: If you could isolate the creature somewhere, like a holodeck or cargo bay where it could be kept in total darkness for a period of time, that might give us more clues.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::Engages the Warp engines at factor 8 on the course to Luna.::

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at her patiently:: Bones: A field trip, Doctor. You're the closest thing we have to an expert on this creature. The only one that can help us anticipate and handle it.

Deep_One says:
::Stalks the corridors trying to find its next meal::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Setting up the hatches to seal.  Leaving a path to the portside transporter maintenance section.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Easier said than done. With the way it's manipulating our crew, I have doubts about the success of such an attempt

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: I am ready when you are, sir.

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, I was just giving your Chief Science Officer here some ideas as what may be the creature's method of reanimation.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Good.  Let me know if you encounter any difficulties.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Once it’s on deck 6 I can secure those hatches on your command.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: I'll work up a plan.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Bones: We'll worry about that later. Come with me, and stay close to Semaj.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: Then cut all power to the deck it's on.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
TO: Let's go. ::heads toward the lift.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: No need for the command, Lieutenant.  Just see that it's done.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Motions for a crewman to take the helm and maintain the course while she goes to OPS and begins work on the auxiliary computer core ODN linkages.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Finishes.  Giving the suit a moment to dry, goes to the replicator::  Computer:  10 gallons of Vulcan blood, type R.

Dr_Bones says:
CSO: Work on it and I'll check back with you later. ::heads over to the Captain::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Heads for the lift behind the CO::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr Bones: Can't hurt. ::kills the lights in the area where the creature is::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at Ike for a long set of heartbeats before the lift door closes:: TL: Deck 6.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Was planning on closing the blast doors to main engineering.. try to give my people some kind of protection.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: I'm ready to bring the auxiliary computer core online sir.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to the cadet:: CIV: Then by all means, cadet.  ::gestures for her to do so::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his badge on the way down:: *CMO*: Captain to Doctor Ahkileez. Kela, are you ready?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: You may not want to enclose them.  The creature seems to be able to find its way into secure areas.  We wouldn't want your crew trapped with that thing.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to look at the XO; shrugs and turns back to his console::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
:Computer: Computer what is the location of the Doctor?

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, what do you have in mind?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
<Computer> CNS: The CMO is in Science lab 1.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::holds his hand over the communicator so his voice won't carry:: Bones: We can't have this thing rampaging around the ship killing my people anymore.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::As the green colored liquid appears she frowns.  Next time she has an idea she would keep it to herself.  Then she sighs... she knew full well he would take this path::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
*CO*: I have been trying to get a hold of the CMO but she is not responding to my comms.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Nods to the XO as she brings the auxiliary cc online.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::hears the silence from Kela and then responds to Keely:: *CNS*: Do you have a location on her?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
*CO*: Computer says that she is in Science Lab 1.

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Agreed Captain, but what are you planning? I do have a right to know what you have in mind for my artifact.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Goes back to the suit and checks to make sure that it will hold the blood.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: In what order do you want the major linkages disconnected sir?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::smiles at the cadet:: CIV: Use your discretion, cadet.

Deep_One says:
::::Moves around in the dark, getting frustrated not finding anything to eat, and moves faster down the corridors::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CNS*: Thank you, Counselor. Report to your station. I'll let you know when I've found her. Ahkileez out.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Captain, the bio signs of the creature have been slowed by the absence of light, as has its telepathic ability. We might be able to trap it this way.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift:: TO/Bones: Let's go.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::One more thing needed::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Moves with the CO almost completely without sound::

Dr_Bones says:
::follows the Captain wondering what he's got in that little mind of his::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::was going to ask the FCO to patch her through on the lab's wall console to see if it was a faulty badge but hears the CO:: *CO*: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::strides purposefully toward the lab that's on the way:: Bones: We're going to capture this thing, Doctor. That's all. ::taps his badge again:: *CSO*: Lieutenant Hayward. If that's working, go with it. Keep the lights on in our target section though. Be prepared to turn them off on my order.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Uh, yes sir.  ::Not knowing even where to begin.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CEO: Sir, could you give me a pointer as to where to start Please?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::points toward the TR maintenance section:: TO: Semaj, take the doctor with you. I have a slight detour to make.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: I am sure you have worked out a logical course of action to trapping this thing.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: I'm tracking you on internals. I'll keep a rolling spot on you, but keep the creature in darkness., ::looks for more info on the amber liquid::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at her gear and sighs.  Taps her comm badge::  *CO*:  Jyg, I am ready if you are.  I just need a few bio samples from you to complete this.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::doesn't have the heart to tell his fellow Vulcan that the plan's a little crazy:: TO: Of course I do. Go, watch out for the doctor.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Stands looking overwhelmed at the link display.:: Self: Hmm, Ennie, Miny, Minnie, Moe.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::Is handed a PADD by a nurse and looks at a cortical scan of one of the new patients that was just brought in.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Do you have a chemical analysis of the fluid that thin was encased in?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Nods to the CO ::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::detours down a side corridor, heading toward the lab:: *CMO*: I'm coming to you now, Kela. Meet me in ::looks at the wall:: Corridor six.

Dr_Bones says:
::stops at the door to the TR maintenance room:: CO: Captain, remember, you can't kill the creature! ::says it with determination::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
Dr: If you will come with me Doctor.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: I presume you'll want to tell the CO and company that we're about to start securing hatches on deck 6.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Raises eyebrow::  *CO*:  Hon, you have to be kidding... I am strong, but not that strong...

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  Is there something wrong with communications?  You are barely coming through as was the Captain.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Takes a deep breath and disconnects the first link, the engines.::

Dr_Bones says:
::goes with the TO reluctantly::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::makes her recommendations and gives the PADD back to the nurse who quickly scurries off::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::lets out a small breath and walks up to the OPS console, beside Haynes::  CIV: Here, start with routing controls.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::puzzled:: *CMO*: Not that I'm aware of. ::runs a diagnostic:: I'll have more information in a second.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::doesn't bother replying to Bones since he'll do what he has to, to protect his crew:: *CMO*: Okay, I'm coming to you. Stay where you are. ::breaks into a jog::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: I'm monitoring the power command shifts.

Dr_Bones says:
*CSO*: Chief, what happened with that power outage?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  Thanks...

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::cocks an eyebrow at Magh:: CEO: You're fully capable of that task, Lieutenant.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Ye... Yes sir.  ::Takes out routing controls next.::

Deep_One says:
::Moves slower down the halls.  stopping looks down the halls for any signs of light, then continues on down the hall::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the suit over to the blood and begins to fill the suit with it.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*Dr Bones*: Its life signs have slowed as have the telepathic abilities.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  Oh, as to your question... it some kind of biological matrix... ummm... think of a cocoon..

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns a corner and bursts into the lab:: CMO: Kela?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: We're ready to start securing deck 6 hatches... leaving path to the transporter maintenance section.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::thinks:: *CMO*: Bodily secretion?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up::  CO:  Over here... ya know, I think you look much better in the morning this thing, any old day.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Moves down the line to the next one and disconnects the main lighting.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  That is what the reports said.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looking around for his wife:: *CEO*: Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Start on the starboard side. Have Security respond to each location and ensure that it's closed. But no local computer commands are to be accepted.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Was there any of it found on any of the dead we have recovered?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Takes up a position and waits for the CO to return::

Dr_Bones says:
::smiles to herself:: CSO: Well done. Now what about getting it to follow a light source somewhere, like to the cargo bay where it can be contained? Will the Captain allow that?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles as he sees his wife and walks over toward her and the dummy:: CMO: I'm glad you can tell the difference. ::looks it over:: Is it ready?

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::waits for her to catch on:: CIV: Good.  There's never a bad time to learn a little something, cadet.  ::goes back to his chair::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Adding the last bit.:: CO:  I need you to hold this, while I get a few samples from you, then we will seal it.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Understood sir. ::starts shutting hatches on deck 6, starboard::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  I don't believe we saw any.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Gulps as she continues.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the mitigator and reaches up to Jyg's glands to take a sample.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Communications are showing green across the board. I'm not sure what caused the problem, but they are fine now.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Self: Ok, I'm on a roll now.  Let's take out the power distribution nodes.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*:  You are still not coming through well.  Must be something with my comm badge.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::gets reports from security as the hatches are sealed::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Send me the detailed analysis to my console. I want to see if I can synthesize it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::holds the dummy up while she works at it::

Dr_Bones says:
::waits for the CSO to respond::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::moves over and starts to comfort an elderly Vulcan woman whose control on emotions had slip with the incursion of the creature's telepathic mind::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the sample, encloses it in a bio-cup and takes it to the replicator, having the computer come up to the closest it can.  As it appears, she takes it over to the 'dummy' and adds her final concoction.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Takes out the locking mechanisms next.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Begins to seal it::  CO:  I could never use this on something living, but it is approximate enough to full most things.  ::Finishes::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Starboard hatches, deck 6 sealed.  Security is double-checking and retreating as they close.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
Dr; Bones: Good idea. I'll try luring it into a containment field.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Taps his comm badge:: *CO*: Semaj to the CO, we are in position and waiting for you, what is your ETA?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Steps back::  CO:  One more thing... ::Hands him the modified inhibitor::  You are now set with your date.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Self: Now, I'll take out the weapons array.

Dr_Bones says:
::looks at the TO::TO: Listen, I'm going to find out what's happening. You can stay or come, doesn't matter to me, but I am going to find the Captain and find out what he is up to. ::heads out the door::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles tightly:: Luckily this isn't living. ::takes up the sloshing suit and throws it over his shoulder:: *TO*: I'm on my way to you. Hold position. Get a position update on the creature from the bridge.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Walks over to the computer, looks for her files, locates the needed one and sends it to science::  *CSO*:  On its way.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Good.  Make sure they double check for stragglers we may not have picked up on sensors.  I don't exactly trust our computer right now.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Got it thanks

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::leans over and gives his wife a quick kiss:: CMO: Stay out of trouble. I'll see you. ::looks at her, not quite sure what else to say, and ducks out of the lab::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Aye sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::gets a force field in place, then attempts to lure the creature into it by manipulating light::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Cuts the transporter system off from Auxiliary cc.::

Dr_Bones says:
::hears the Captain over the TO's commbadge and stops::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
DR: Doctor you must stay here.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::works on synthesizing the liquid::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Watches him go and mutters under her breath::  I will keep my ideas to myself... I will keep my ideas to myself...  ::Sighs::  CSO:  Mind beaming me to the bridge?

Deep_One says:
::Finds itself going in circle looking for any light::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Cuts the internal sensors out.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Sure. ::initiates site to site beam out for the Doctor::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::runs in the corridors, reaching behind him to the small of his back, drawing a ceremonial blade from the hidden sheath::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Self: Next is communications.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::tells security to insure all spaces are empty of crew as they check the door and hatches::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
*XO*: Semaj to XO, what is the creature’s current position?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::has the woman recite a Vulcan meditation and tries to help her to gain focus::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Arrives on the bridge::  CSO:  Pity I can't get away using the lazy transportation more often.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Will have the security report to Ensign Semaj once all hatches are secured.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: All linkages are disconnected except for Life support sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::stifles a laugh:: CMO: I can't synthesize that fluid...hmm...maybe some kind of substructure would work.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::finds the transport maintenance room and makes his way to the door, skipping past Bones:: Bones: Doctor... ::reaches around and locks the door open.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  Why do you want to synthesis it?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: If I'm not mistaken sir any and all controls and orders must be imitated here on the bridge now sir.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::doesn't respond to the TO:: CSO: Lieutenant, relay the creature's coordinates to Ensign Semaj, please.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO/TO*: All designated hatches on deck 6 secured.  Security is to report to Ensign Semaj.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: I believe it may be the key to returning it to its "inactive" state.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::puts the dummy down and crouches over it, using the knife to make a small slice on the dummy's sleeve, spilling emerald blood::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Sir, the trap is set.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: That's the plan, cadet.

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, now are you going to tell me what you are up to? ::looks at the dummy on the floor::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stands with the dripping knife:: *CEO*: Very good, Magh. Turn out all the lights on Deck Six but this room and increase ventilation. I need some scent carried.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Checks the status of their course.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  You think it was originally in a cocoon state?  Hmmm... often things are voracious before they go into hibernation... which makes me wonder what it looked like before.

Deep_One says:
::Sees some sort of light and cautiously moves towards it::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Captain, I've found a way to control the creature. I'm luring it with a light source. It's headed for a level 10 confinement field I set up.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the doctor finally:: Bones: I'm luring it here so we can trap it. Hopefully without killing it, or it killing us. ::looks over her shoulder at Semaj:: TO: Semaj, take the doctor into the equipment storage room over there. ::nods toward the wall:: You're my hold out.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::overhears the CMO and CSO:: CMO: Hibernation?  Well, that would certainly explain its appetite.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: It appears to be working.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
*CO*: Aye sir.  ::Kills lights on deck 6 and increases ventilation flow.::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Moves towards the door the CO indicated:: Dr: After you.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: After being in reduced light for this long, the Deep One show's definite signs of weakening.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Wonders why they never got a response to their distress call for assistance.::

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, this is my discovery and I want to stay right here and see that no harm comes to it.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Mutters:: Self: Just killed the thing and serve it up for dinner.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: I'd like to be able to flood the containment field with something similar to its cocoon state. Any ideas?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Commander shall I send another request for assistance, we never got a reply from the last one.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns the knife upside down in his hand:: *CSO*: Stick.. ugh... ::cuts a thin streak on the same forearm as the dummy's sleeve:: ..with the plan.

Dr_Bones says:
::motions the TO away::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  You say you can't replicate it?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::Wants to smile as the Vulcan woman, T'Eika makes progress but does not wish to offender her::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Bones: You mistook what I told you for a suggestion, Doctor Bones. Right now, your safety is my concern.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: No, but I may be able to approximate it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods again at Semaj::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: Let the nearest Starbase know of our situation.  Standard comm channel.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
Dr.: This way Doctor.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  What if you had a sample of the creature’s saliva... would that help?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Points to the door::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::excited:: CMO: Yes.

Deep_One says:
::Continues heading for the light, sticking close to the ground, moving slowly::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  That I can help you with... ummm... I need to go to main sickbay.

Dr_Bones says:
::moves closer to the Captain:: CO: I am not going to be shut away in some room while you have your way with this creature. I demand to remain here.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Scans for the nearest Starbase to them.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::wry grin:: CMO: Is that a hint?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::quickly losing his patience:: Bones: Your demand is noted, Doctor. And rejected. And that's the end of the matter.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Chuckles::   CSO:  Just don't tell the captain.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his badge again:: *CSO*: Ahkileez to bridge. Lieutenant Hayward, what's the position of our quarry?

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Turns the phaser on the Dr.:: Dr: This is for your safety, will you come this way, now.

Dr_Bones says:
::turns to the TO::TO: You can't force me to move. Now go away.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::taps his nails loudly on the console waiting for the trap to be sprung::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
COMM: SB666: Starbase 666, this is the USS Sharikahr, requesting your urgent assistance in subduing an alien creature aboard our vessel.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
Dr: I will use this if I have to, and then what good would you be to your discovery?

Dr_Bones says:
::looks at the dummy and sees what the Captain is planning now::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: You're closing in on it. I can manipulate its position with the light.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head at Semaj:: TO: That won't be necessary.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: Ready? ::initiates transport::

Dr_Bones says:
TO: Use that and you won't need to worry about it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*: Then do so.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Arriving in sickbay, moves toward the small lab and enters, looking around for the samples they had been collecting::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Cadet Haynes sits silently, looking strangely introspective.  She thinks she is sending out a distress call....

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::leaves the woman believing that she has at least made her a bit more comfortable for the time being::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Hears the cadet's choice of words:: Self: Subdue?! I'll subdue the thing. ::pats his holstered phaser::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CMO*: Let me know when you're ready to beam back.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. How far way from you do you want me to keep it?

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Sitting quietly and motionless awaiting a response.::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Waits until the Dr. is not facing him then gives her the Vulcan Neck pinch::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Finding the group, picks them up.  Hears something, not sure what::  Dang...  forgot to change the comm badge.  *CSO*:  I hope you can hear me, as you are nothing but a mumble.  Ready to come back.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*: Bring it right to me.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::beams the CMO back to the bridge::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. ::manipulates the light to set the creature on a course for the Captain::

Dr_Bones says:
::feels a strange hand on her neck and turns around quickly:: TO: Need more practice sonny! ::slaps his hand away::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
TO: Take care of her. ::walks toward the doorway and looks out into the corridor, his hand still dripping blood::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Heads up captain, it's on its way to you.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  Don't suppose you have a spare comm badge.  ::Hands him the samples::  There are a variety of samples here we believe this one... ::Hands him a yellowish fluid::  Is from his saliva.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Sir, I don't understand this, no response from the SB.  ::Looking at the console in hopeful anticipation.::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::is beckoned over to a college for a consultation and second opinion::

Deep_One says:
::Begins to get restless and moves faster towards the light::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::furrows his brow::  CEO: Chief, what should the delay time be for communications to the nearest Starbase?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Hears the cadet and checks the comm array and program::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::can barely make the darkening silhouette out in the black of the corridor:: Self: That's right... free lunch you ugly &$*@Q*!..

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: Thank you. ::Takes the sample:: Secure a replacement comm, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the system. ::smiles:: Guess you got the lucky  comm.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Using his superior Vulcan strength he grabs the Dr and forces her into the closet::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: This distance?  Two minutes maximum.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  The lucky comm?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Captain, it's almost upon you Sir!

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: I checked sir... nothing wrong at our end.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head, confused:: CIV: Send again, and to the next nearest.  CEO: See if there are any other ships near us.  Starfleet or otherwise.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*CSO*: Acknowledge.. maintain comm silence from now on.. ::backs up, retreating into the maintenance room, toward the decoy dripping his own blood::

Dr_Bones says:
::beats on the door of the closet:: TO: Let me out of here now!

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::watches the captain like a hawk on internal sensors::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::Scans for the next nearest and sends the message again.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Aye sir. ::brings up LRS on his console and activates it.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Scanning now sir.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Moves closer to watch, letting some of her worry show briefly before putting her mask back up::  CSO:  And keep a transporter lock too....

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: Humans are such emotional creatures, aren't they?

Deep_One says:
::Follows behind the CO::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: It's just an expression. I'll save the explanation for later. :: Gets a transporter lock on everyone near the creature::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::ignores the sound of snarling as he backs up:: TO: That's what I like about them. ::keeping his voice low:: Get in there. Don't come out unless I call for you.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::keeping his eyes fixed on the silhouette in the doorway::

Dr_Bones says:
::pounds on the door again:: TO: Let me out now or there will be hell to pay mister!

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
CO: That is not logical.  By the time you may want to call for me it may be too late for you.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::motions for one of the tech crew and acquires a new comm badge::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
*CNS*:  How are things going?

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Nothing on short-range sensor... and anything pass that won't get here fast enough.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::this whole damned thing isn't logical:: TO: Just do it, Ensign. Quickly!

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::reaches over and switches off the light.::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: I'm maintaining a steady lock on the crew near the creature.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::rubs her temple as a headache begins to develop::  *CMO*: Everything is holding together down here for the moment.  You okay? I tried to comm you earlier.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Well, we can't assume much at this point.  Perhaps they are having trouble with their communication array.

Dr_Bones says:
::leans on the door wondering why the Captain bothered to bring her down here in the first place::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Moves into a nearby locker and closes the door leaving it slightly cracked so he can watch the CO::

Deep_One says:
::As it goes dark in the room , moves up against the wall and concentrates on the CO::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Looks up at the screen at the visual of the creature.::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
Self: Yuck that thing is ugly!

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::steps on the ankle of the decoy suit, squelching more blood out on the floor:: Deep: Come on... ::keeps backing up, drawing out the knife again, the blade catching the faint light from the transporter pad::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Looks around:: All: Anyone keeping a transporter lock on the Skipper and the others?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CSO:  Good... if you don't mind, once more... send me to the aux. up sickbay?  My nerves are a bit...  stretched.  ::Lightly touches her stomach as a cramp zooms through::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CEO: Lieutenant Hayward has it covered.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CMO: Not at all. Ready? ::initiates transport::

Dr_Bones says:
::plays with the handle of the door and notices that the TO didn't lock it:: Self: What a fool! ::slowly opens the door and peeks out::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Nods to the XO::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::nods::  CSO:  Keep them safe...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Sir...::nods at the cadet::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Captain notices a strange yellow secretion coming from the creature’s skin.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Suggest you check the log and see just where that message got sent.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Still no response from either Starbase sir.  It appears the transmission is being looped back to us.  Why? I don't know.

Dr_Bones says:
::sees two figures in the dark, the creature and what seems to be the Captain::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::looks at the visual:: XO: Commander, I can transport on your mark. S-s-should anything go wrong. I've also synthesized a rough approximation of the creature cocoon fluid. It may come in handy.

Deep_One says:
::Moves around the room, away from the decoy, going around it::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::walks to Haynes' console and brings up the comm log::  CIV: We're not getting a response because we're not sending a message...

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::As she transports, she quickly narrows in on the counselor::  CNS:  Faulty comm badge.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Shakes head in frustration at the XO's words::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CSO: Good, ready transport and the fluid in case of emergency.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns up his nose at the sight, still backpedaling toward the pad:: Deep: I bet your dermatologist hates you.. ::ignores the growing headache from the stimulator on his neck:: Come on! ::shouts to catch its attention::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::looks up with a half-smile:: CMO: I thought as much.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: Sir I sent it, it just didn't go out like it should have.  ::Shakes head.::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Checks phaser for heavy stun setting::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: Ready on both on your mark.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Points to the small loop on the log.::

Dr_Bones says:
::pushes the door open wider and steps just outside the door::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Another cramp grabs her::  Ouch...  ::Shakes her head and takes a seat::  CNS:  How is Mia doing?

Deep_One says:
::Moves around the room listening to the CO's thoughts and backs away some::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
Self: What is the Captain up to?  This is not logical for him to be using himself for bait.

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: I see it, cadet.  CEO: Lieutenant, what would have caused this?

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::sees the CMO in pain::  She is resting.... ::moves over beside her:: Are you okay?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::nods::  CNS:  Yea... just too much stress and activity.  I think I might take maternity leave earlier then planned.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods:: CMO: It might be wise.  How close are you?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stops when the creature stops:: Deep: Come on, you walking fishstick. You afraid of an old man? ::kicks the decoy out of the way::

Deep_One says:
::Grins to itself, closes its eyes, concentrates and gives the CO a telepathic blast to his mind::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: What if we launched a communications buoy toward the Starbase?

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  Three weeks to go if he goes to term.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::eyes widen:: CMO: I had no idea you were so close.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Can now see the creature from his vantage point and is ready to fire at a moments notice::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
CIV: Who knows if it would actually get launched?  ::sighs, trying to regain his composure:: Very well, see to it.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The creatures mind once again touches the Captain.  It is far more powerful than anything he could have imagined.  The Captain falls in a heap, green blood trickling slowly down his nose.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
CNS:  You have to be kidding... this baby is almost as big as the triplets together.  ::Cries out, holding her head in pain::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
XO: We could have someone manually launch it sir.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::changes console back to engineering::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Checking sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: The Captain is down!

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::kneels beside the doc and motions for a nurse::  CMO: What is it?

Dr_Bones says:
::sees the Captain fall and runs over to him and kneels down:: CO: Captain!

Deep_One says:
::Laughs to itself and moves over the CO's body::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Programs a buoy to send out a continuous message requesting assistance and their heading.::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::shakes head:: XO: Sir I... ::stops with Hayward’s announcement::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Unfortunately for the Deep One, since he is not fully "charged" at the moment, this also saps a great deal of his strength.  The Yellow secretion increases.

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Whispers in pain::  CNS:  Jyg...

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Fires the phaser at the Deep one::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Looks up at the screen.::  All: Oh my God, Captain!

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::watches the scene on the view screen:: CSO: Don't transport just yet...

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Turns to watch the screen::

Dr_Bones says:
TO: Get over here and help me with your Captain!

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: Aye Sir, maintaining lock.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
Nurse: Something must be happening to the CO! Can we inject her with an inhibitor?

Dr_Bones says:
::drags the Captain away from the creature::

Deep_One says:
::Turns and faces the TO and moves slowly towards him::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
<Nurse> CNS:  I am not sure doctor... in her condition... and considering her baby...  Perhaps you should warn the first officer?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
::prepares to pump the fluid into the chamber::

Dr_Bones says:
TO: Stop firing at it. It's using the energy from your phaser.......stop now!

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods:: *XO*: The CMO is experiencing problems which I believe are due to the telepathic link between her and the CO.

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
::Hits the release buoy button.::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::A different cramp hits her and she curls in on herself::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::holds up his hand to Hayward:: CSO: Ready with the transport and fluid?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::blinks, looking up at the pale ceiling, and then groans and starts to sit back up::

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
XO: On your mark.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The creature does grow stronger with the phaser blast, but only slightly.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Stops firing the phaser and starts slowly backing away from the captain luring the creature away from the CO::

Dr_Bones says:
::continues to pull the Captain to a safe distance::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
*CNS*: I sympathize, Counselor.  I really do.  But there's nothing we can do right now.  Just try to make her comfortable.

Deep_One says:
::Tires to get in the TO's mind, just like it did with the CO:

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Takes quick look at his console and looks over the comm system... again; then turns back to watch the view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::Keeps his hand up, watching the screen intently::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Bones: Let me go. ::voice hoarse as he starts to push himself to his feet again::

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::nods to the Nurse:: Nurse: You heard the man... Let's get her on a biobed.

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
XO: Just so you know... there is still nothing wrong with our comm.  Must be that creature.

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Raises his mental shields to the maximum to protect himself::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
<Nurse> ::nods and helps the counselor with the tall doctor::

Dr_Bones says:
CO: Captain, you can't take another blast from the creature. His power is still too strong. We have to get away from it.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::wipes the blood from his nose and spits it from his lips:: Bones/TO: It's tiring. I felt it last time. It's weaker now.

CNS_LtJG_Cephas says:
::gets some more help as she is of little help on her braces::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::Can almost smell the blood::

XO_Cmdr_Ikari says:
::nods to the CEO, not looking away from the screen for long::

CEO_Lt_Soree says:
::stomach growls as canines are revealed::

TO_Ens_Semaj says:
::Taps his comm badge:: CSO: Put us in total darkness down here.

Deep_One says:
::Forgetting the TO, turns back to the Captain::

CMO_Ltjg_Ahkileez says:
::Gets her feet under her::  CNS:  Keely... is the Captain all right?  I know he is still alive... but  ::Touches her head::

CIV_Cdt_Haynes says:
CSO: Sir can you confirm that the buoy launched?

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
*TO*: Aye. ::plunges them into total darkness::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The creature continues to grow weaker and weaker in the absence of any light.  Finally, it falls to the floor, encased in the strange Amber goo that it was first discovered in.

CSO_Lt_Hayward says:
CIV: It appears so.....however....we still have the same number of buoys that we started with. ::confused:: Are you sure you launched?

Host Frank_SM says:
