SUMMARY:  The Tal War has been in pursuit of the Breen and Ferengi vessels.  Before the two vessels reached Breen space, the crew came across bodies in space

When the Ferengi bodies were beamed aboard, one exploded.

The orange dust is now swirling in space acting light nothing the crew has seen before.  It's been suggested that the orange dust is like a life form.  Is this true?

OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: sitting at her console, transmitting a friendship message locally ::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
XO: Commander... the tank's just over half full... should we try and collect some more?
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::in sickbay, monitoring the bodies::
SO_Lt_York says:
TL: Sickbay.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: I want to try to collect it all. We don't need this thing running rampant through the quadrant.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is on the Bridge::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Is still a little itchy from her previous contact with the 'ore'::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::nods:: OPS: Ok, let's make another pass, open the ram scoops.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Begins to gather up parts of exploded body watching very closely on the flicking equipment::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::gets up off the biobed he is laying on, with the pain in his hand subsided he can't be bothered to sit in sickbay much longer:: Self: I discharge myself then...
SO_Lt_York says:
::steps out onto the deck and starts walking towards Sickbay::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  You got it flyboy.  :: smiles and winks ::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::on the Bridge, watching what is happening on the viewscreen::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::smiles and takes the ship through the cloud again::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the interaction between the OPS and FCO::  Self: Flyboy?
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: smiles slightly at the OPS officer's comment ::

ACTION:  A deafening high pitched, shrilling scream can be heard through out the ship.  The kind that would bring a Klingon to his knees.

SO_Lt_York says:
::while walking to the Sickbay, he almost bumps into a crewman as the noise makes him shut his eyes in pain::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: grabs his ears and squints his eyes from the pain ::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He looks at MO with scary look on his face::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Holds a hand to one side of her head, and curls her upper body up to try and protect herself from the noise::
SO_Lt_York says:
Self: What in the...::holds his hands over his ears::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
ALL: What the hell is that, and can someone please shut it up.....
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: puts her hands over her ears :: All:  What the..!!!!
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::holds his ears at the noise::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: I think tha we created something larger than we thinked it is,
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Looks at Bio bed with CSO::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Are you awake?
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::screams and throws her arms over her head::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: tries to make it to the science console while still covering his ears and trying not to lose consciousness ::

ACTION:  The lights go out all over the ship, backups don't come one.  The air has an orangey tinge to it.  The dust from space has gotten through the vents of the ship.

SO_Lt_York says:
::grabs a hold of the crewman next to him and motions for him to cover his ears and helps him to lean against the wall::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
All: Aw crap!
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Feels her head starting to spin, and shuts her eyes completely::  Self: I already had a headache...
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Yep feeling as fit as a fiddle... no I just want to get back to duty
SO_Lt_York says:
::coughs::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
All: That didn't happen last time.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::The lights from the Environmental suits got up and gives a flash trough sick bay::
SO_Lt_York says:
::taps his badge:: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is Lt. York on deck 12, what is happening?
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: What happened?
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: runs his fingers over the Science console :: CO: Trying to put a dampening field around the storage tank! :: suddenly the console goes out, slams a fist into it :: Dagva!
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  I have no clue.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Starts to feel dust in the air as she breathes, and recognizes it from before::  *SHIPWIDE*: This is the Captain. We have airborne contamination.  Use breathing equipment as soon as possible..
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::opens her eyes and sneezes a soundless sneeze::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: You are still behind an emergency blockade but it will last next 5 minutes.
::He goes and takes another suit and gives to CSO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Well as good a time as any to return to duty... made any headway with analyzing the ore
SO_Lt_York says:
::hears the announcement and sees he is nowhere close to a bio suit:: Self: Blast.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Scrabbles under her chair as fast as she can, trying to find her breathing apparatus::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns and grabs a breathing apparatus from a small storage compartment next to the science station ::
SO_Lt_York says:
::starts running to sickbay::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
OPS: Could you go back over the system stats readouts and se what was different this time?
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::suddenly feels panic come over her... except, it's not HER panicking::
SO_Lt_York says:
::as he's running he can feel for the first time in over a year, a concern for -her- safety...but shrugs it off and stops by the science lab doors::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::takes the Bio Suit from the Doc and puts it on:: CMO: Had a little accident then? Anything to do with the ore?

ACTION:  A concentrated orange dust packet envelopes the CSO lifting him off the floor.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: As me and Cameron knowing I think we have another type of Life form from it
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Finds a breathing mask, and puts it on, before finding that her arm is itching more that it had been before::  Self: Great...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Pulls out medical tricorder::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Aloud: Let me GO! ::is frightened by the words coming out because they're not her words!::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
XO: Report
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::watches in horror as Wuer is lifted up::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::sees the orange cloud come towards him:: Self: Defiantly something to do with ore.  ::feels weightless as he is moved upwards:: Self: Damn
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: All power to the science console is out. Trying to reroute emergency backups...
SO_Lt_York says:
::opens the door and runs into the dark room, and over to the glass wall separating him and Sickbay and taps on the window::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  I can try.  :: begins to look through the read out. ::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CO*: Captain I think that we have a problem but I am not sure if this is wery helpful to us.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: Ohmygod! Captain, this... dust thingy... is doing something weird to me!
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Hears someone yelling behind her, and spins round, causing her head to spin::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::starts coughing as the dust reaches the front of the bridge::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Runs over to the other woman::  CNS: Lt, stay with me.  What's wrong, what's happening?
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  Maybe I can try and evaluate the atmosphere on the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CO*: I can give you an one of the most possible explanation it is alive.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Aloud: LET ME GO!
SO_Lt_York says:
::sees a man in a bio suit being lifted off the ground by an orange cloud and another man in a suit standing by and taps the window again::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: moves down near the CO, looking at the CNS ::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::coughs:: OPS: Flood the bridge with an oxygen Nitrogen mix.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: We need to find an battery source for our computer to run analysis.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::hears faint voices in his head:: CMO: Maybe someone could get me down  Orange Cloud: Maybe you'd like to put me down... please!
SO_Lt_York says:
::taps his badge::*CMO*: York to Doctor Brabas, is that you in sickbay? I'm right behind you sir, on the other side of the window.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: Captain... I think it's the life form... it's trying to communicate with us through the Counselor.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: grabs for a breathing apparatus :: CO:  Sir, if everyone will find the breathers under the consoles, I may be able to evacuate the atmosphere on the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::::Walks to the window and cleans out with cloth glass between::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO: That's another option.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes hold of Solaa's body, leading her to sit down::  CNS: I am Captain Jameson, Who am i talking to?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*SO*: Yea its me;
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::grabs his breathing mask and tank and goes to assist the CO::
SO_Lt_York says:
*CMO*: What's going on Doc? sickbay is sealed off, thankfully with that thing there.

ACTION:  A shrill scream echos through the Capt's head in response to her question.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes one hand from supporting Solaa, and holds it to her head::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*SO*: I am not so sure. I think that we have engaged a new life form.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks down to his hand that had been previously affected::  CMO/ MO: Can you hear me?
SO_Lt_York says:
*CMO*: Good observation Watson! The whole ship is infected with that cloud.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::looks kind of dazed, her eyes glazed over::

ACTION:  The Orange dust packet panicking, makes a beeline to the outer wall of sickbay in order to escape, the CSO is slammed against the wall and falls to the floor.  The dust escapes.  Something else is changing with the dust, it's becoming more and more solidified.

MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::looks across to Brabas::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*SO*: I have some scans and ideas on the matter, ::he leans the PADD to the glass::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes a deep breath to work through the pain::  CNS/Creature: We don't want to hurt you, and any pain we've caused was accidentally done.  Please let my crewman go.  You can use me, you can talk to me.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::runs to Wuer with his tricorder::
SO_Lt_York says:
::tries to read the PADD::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
Aloud: Arrgghhhh
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CO: Captain, are you sure that's a good idea?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Runs to the CSO::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Leaving PADD to free fall down::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
CSO: Are ye alright?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Looks at the situation and takes a tricorder scan::
SO_Lt_York says:
::sees the other man drop to the floor:: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is York. I'm in Sickbay, and the orange cloud seems to be getting more solid, it just slammed Commander Wuer against the wall and left.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Out loud: What are you!?
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::gets up of the floor:: MO: I'm fine ensign ::rubs his back:: Well as least I think I am that was a strange experience...
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks over at Foster::  FCO: My telepathy might make it easier to make contact.  ::Takes a look at Solaa::  FCO: She doesn't appear to be handling the mental invasion well, and at least I’m prepared....
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*SO* Stand by, Lieutenant. We think we may have made contact... of a sort....
SO_Lt_York says:
*XO*: Yes sir.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: You let me go!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CO*: Captain the dust left the Sick bay
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CO: should I call the MO just in case?
SO_Lt_York says:
::before the channel closed he could hear Ryn screaming and a cold chill ran down his spine...::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He checks out CSO::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Fell some extra pain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: It seems like it was struggling to get away Doc, it may well be becoming more corporeal at we speak
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: We don't know how to at the moment, we are working on it.  But let my officer go, you are causing as much pain as you are feeling, do you want that?
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm coming to let me go! I'll hurt you if you don't!
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CNS/Creature: We will consider it. If you answer our questions. Who are you, where do you come from? We need to know for a better understanding of who you are and why you are affecting us.
SO_Lt_York says:
*CMO*: York to Doctor Brabas, is it safe to enter Sickbay? I don't think it matters anymore, the whole ship is infected.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Makes an affirmative gesture to the FCO::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: What did happened.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*SO*: You are right .
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: I don't need to tell you that! I'm me and you better let me go!
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: checks sensors to make sure that everything is being recorded. ::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Turns and raises an eyebrow at Trelan, and thought 'well, that told you'::
SO_Lt_York says:
::tries to open the doors to Sickbay, but the power is still offline::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: I could hear voices in my head, as though it wanted inside me, but it wasn't happy maybe because I already share my body
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::taps his Combadge:: *MO*: Cameron, we need you on the bridge... on the double.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
*FCO* Aye, sir.  ::nods to Brabas as he takes his med kit and runs out of sickbay::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Computer: medical emergency to a further notice on the whole ship, please make an information beacon to all other ship who tries to come to us known that it is not safe.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: How do we go about letting you go? I don't know how you think we entrapped you to start with.  We never actually had possession of the ore bulk.  Why are you punishing us for other's mistakes?
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: thinks ::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
CO: What's it saying?
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: It occurs to me that they are possibly trying to find hosts...
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: You scooped me up and scared me! I don't like being scared!
SO_Lt_York says:
::manages to get the door open with the emergency handle and runs into Sickbay::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::stops at the door as he notices it being opened manually::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: I agree.
SO_Lt_York says:
MO: Hi there. ::grins::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::hears the CNS:: OPS: Sharra... flush the tank we have the cloud in.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: It looks to me that it is trying to find a way to evolve into something
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: I think I know of a way to rectify this little situation. If it is a life form and is in a mist, we simply need to find a way to re-solidify it. CO2 should do the trick. We flood the storage tank with a CO2 compound and it should freeze... whatever it is.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Or only to communicate.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
SO: Sir ::nods as he squeezes through the door::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO/OPS: Standby on that....
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I don't know how you let me go, but you better let me go or I'll hurt some more!
SO_Lt_York says:
::nods and lets the Ensign get past him::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
:sees the door opening:: SO: You must be Lt. York, good to meet you at last shame about the circumstances
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Starts talking quieter and more soothingly, slightly reminding her of talking to Chase:: CNS/Creature: We didn't mean to scoop you, or to scare you.  But how do we release you, and how can we help stop you being scooped again?
SO_Lt_York says:
::walks over to the man:: CSO: Nice to meet you sir, are you injured?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
SO: He was::Smiles::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::enters the Turbolift::  TL: Bridge.
SO_Lt_York says:
::smiles at the Doc:: CMO: Doctor. ::nods::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: No! No freeze!
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
XO: If we simply freeze the part of the entity that's in the tank then the rest of it can still harm us... we'd need to freeze the tank and the rest of it, including the cloud still in space.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
XO: But to do that we need to be sure it won't hurt it, and we need to get it to leave the CNS, and collect together in one place....
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::enters the bridge::

ACTION:  There are now several solidified forms of the orange dust moving around the ship.  They seem gelatinous, moving like a puddle when on the ground.  One of the puddles has gotten into the environmental controls, life support  has now been turned off.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/FCO: No, we will not freeze it.  Freezing appears to upset it
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
XO/CO: If we release it then at least we have a bargaining chip.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Is it possible Doctor that the ore could have been some type of Cocoon, that would fit if the were evolving
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm coming to free me!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Could be.
SO_Lt_York says:
::listens to the CSO and wonders about that:: CSO: So we could be witnessing it's evolution?
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS: Creature: Who is coming to free you? And how?  So we can be ready to help
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: But when I run analysis radiation has mutated cell structure.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO/XO:  What if we reversed the collection process and put it all back into space.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: Do you remember the last time you were happy, and we can try to duplicate those conditions for you
SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Doctor, can I take a look at your readings?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: A new type of evolve.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Possibly Lt. You got a tricorder, maybe we should go find one of these things and test that theory
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
SO: If we have power
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
SO: Here have this from my tricorder.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I don't know this word happy! You're scaring me again!
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO/CMO: The tricorder's power cells should not be affected. ::takes the device::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Gives tricorder to SO::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: doesn't agree with the CO's idea of letting the creature go, but she is the Commanding Officer ::
SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Thank you. ::starts reading::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: See if it will work. Do it.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
FCO: Sir?
SO_Lt_York says:
::looks around:: CSO: We really could use power to these displays.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Talks soothingly again:: CNS/Creature: When weren’t you scared?
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, life support has been shut down.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: Let me go or I'll hurt her.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
MO: Monitor the Counselor’s vitals, she's been... possessed for want of a better word.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Energy that has chemically expanded from contact of tissue and ore, led to a mutation in the cell structure.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO/SO: Possibly our interactions with the creature during an evolutionary phase has caused it to mutate in an unexpected manner
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
XO:  Aye Sir.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: begins to flush the tank back into space. ::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
FCO: Aye, sir.  ::takes out his tricorder::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I was floating around going home and... you scooped me up! You scooped me up and kept me here! Now some of me has become solid and that is not me!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: Yes it could be.
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: I agree. ::motions for them to look at the tricorder:: CMO/CSO: Here you can see how it's cell structure dramatically changes after coming into contact with humanoid DNA.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: You want to become less solid?  Where is your home?

ACTION:  The tanks remain quiet as there is no power to the ship.  People begin to collapse due to no oxygen.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::walks over and looks at the tricorder::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: Yeah the core change of DNA information is rewritten.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
XO:  I can't flush the tank!  No power.
SO_Lt_York says:
::starts to feel light headed and rests against the bulkhead:: CMO: Doc...
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm not telling you where my home is! Let me go! I'm hurting her, you know...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Out loud: What now.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Takes back Tricorder and makes scan::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Then we need to find another way. We need to eject the tank into space....
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, without any power, we can't let the thing go!!!
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: And if the process is starting it could be that they now need us to complete the process, they could be starting to find it difficult to survive in space
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::rushes to the JT in front of the flight console:: OPS/XO: I'm going down there to see if I can get an auxiliary power pack on the jettison pump.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: Oxygen we need to give all of the crew oxygen, Oh my good.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Winces, as she suddenly telepathically feels the pain::
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: Agreed....::tries to take a deep breath::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
XO:  Sir, without power, there is no way to eject the tank.  I can't open any of the doors.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He runs and takes one of the emergency bottles of compressed air.
SO_Lt_York says:
All: I think there's something wrong with the environmental settings..
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CNS/Creature: You are containing yourself. You have taken all our power from our ship, which in turn is not allowing us to let you go. So now the ball is in your court.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  Be careful.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::climbs into the tube and vanishes from sight::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: Please, I’m scared.  Let my officer go, let my ship breathe. I'm scared
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: You okay?  If powers off maybe life support has been effected
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:; monitors oxygen levels ::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Gives the bottle to the SO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO/ CMO: I didn't notice being in the Bio Suit....
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: I feel.....groggy sir. ::accepts the bottle and holds it up to his face and inhales::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::emerges on deck 4 and grabs a couple of emergency power packs from a storage locker before climbing into another tube::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*CO*: We have a problem we need to send all personal to take Environmental; suits
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:; shakes her head :;CO/XO:  We are down to 23%....we won't last much longer.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: You got another Bio Suit around for the SO?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: I think that I have one more. But that’s it,
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Starts finding herself short on breath, and speaks quietly::  OPS: I'm doing what I can Lt
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: Okay. I'll let you go. But then you have to let ME go.
SO_Lt_York says:
::takes a few, slow deep breaths from the canister and starts feeling the effects reversing::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: We don't want to hurt you, we never wanted to hurt you.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::heads over to where the Doc got his Suit from and grabs one for the SO:: SO: Lt. here put this on...
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::finally reaches the antimatter storage pods on deck 18 and quickly puts on a protective suit::
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO/CMO: Thank you. ::hurries to put the suit on::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: But you did! You hurt me!
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: How are the power readings looking?
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Better now Lt.?

ACTION:  Outside the ship the new beings are beginning to congregate just outside the starboard hull as if they are waiting on something.

SO_Lt_York says:
::adjusts the helmet and activates the suit and feels cold, fresh air surrounding him and opens the com:: CSO/CMO: Now that's a breath of fresh air. ::smiles through the faceplate::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  We only have emergency power.....and life support is dropping rapidly.  Oxygen levels are at 22% and dropping Sir.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*Ship wide*: All personal who can hear me find an Environmental suit an put it on, the go around the corridors and look for anyone without it and help him to get in one.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: But we didn't mean to.  And now you are hurting us, purposefully.  Can't you see that that is wrong?
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::locates the jettison control for the antimatter tank that the ore is stored in and attaches a power pack to it::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: No.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO/ SO: Right then we have a problem to solve... CMO: Is there some way we could reverse the evolution process?
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Do we have enough power to release the creature without going critical? Once it is released, we'll have power, oxygen and systems back then
SO_Lt_York says:
::takes the tricorder again:: CSO: I have a theory.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: I am afraid that it will kill the creature.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  Lt Foster is there as we speak.  If he has the power packs attached, we might be able to do it.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: And I have to say tha we are not the ones who have created it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CSO: I'm all ears Mr. York...
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::taps his combadge:: *OPS*: Sharra, see if you can jettison the contents of tank AM3.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
*FCO*  Lt Foster, do you have the power packs in place?
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks curiously at the CNS, but not seeing her, only the creature::  CNS/Creature: Why not? What is it that is right about this? Causing pain to others on purpose
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: To play.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Let me know as soon as we are ready to release the creature
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
*FCO*  Stand by.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO: I think we are ready.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
*OPS*: I've got power to Jettison control yes.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: You want to play? What do you do to play?
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: You're stupid. Stop talking to me.
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO/CMO: We need the Doctor's opinion though. The life form is a web of nerve clusters of some sort, there is no real organ to it...so getting it to become less solid means we have to interfere with those nerve clusters communicating. We need to get the humanoid DNA out of it's system.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: attempts to expel the dust from the tank ::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: Are you ready to go out and play? We are ready to free you, if you will free us
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I'm going.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: What it’s tricky.
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I TOLD you, I already let your ship go!
SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Never said it was easy. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: Only thing tha could get the job done in the time is nanobots.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: But not all of it...

ACTION:  Very slowly power is resuming all over the ship.  Replicators first, some lights.

SO_Lt_York says:
::hears a slight hum::
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
*OPS*: That's it, the tank is empty.
SO_Lt_York says:
CMO: Nanobots...I like it.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: But we don't have a power to replicate it
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
OPS: Do it
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CMO: Good idea do you have any?
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  It's working Sir.  The dust is being put back into space.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: Go home, go play. Just be careful....
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::sees the lights come on on deck 18::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: YOU be careful! Scooping me up was not nice!
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::sees main lighting come on overhead:: CMO/ SO: Maybe we do have power again now
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: I think I have some of them with a slight different programming.
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: About time. ::starts scanning the power relays::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO/XO:  Oxygen levels are rising....26%....28%....33%....
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO/SO: We need to begin with creation of the programming for nanobots.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Sighs when she hears Telgar:: OPS: Good.  Keep an eye on levels
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
*OPS*: What's happening up there?
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO/CMO: We have main power back, environmental settings are up and running.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
*FCO*  It's working Lt.  Oxygen levels are coming back up.  Good job!
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CO: I wanna go now.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Keeps next to the CNS, trying to see when Solaa comes back::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*OPS*: Please tell me that you have an explanation and some solved problems.
SO_Lt_York says:
::takes the helmet off and places it on the desk:: Self: Better.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
*OPS*: Good, the controls have enough power to work on their own now so I'll be back up once the lifts start working again.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: watches the verbal exchange from the CO and the creature ::

ACTION:  Suddenly the creature leaves the CNS and she falls to the floor.  The power systems go to full.  The creature leaves the ship joining it's commrades  out in space and with one last look at the Tal War, the Orange gelatinous substance leaves for parts unknow within the universe.

CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
CNS/Creature: You need to leave my crewman to be able to go and play.  You need to do this...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Does not gets off environmental suit::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: leans down next to the CNS ::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::falls flat on her pretty face and doesn't move::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Immediately kneels on the floor next to Solaa::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
*CMO*  I'd like to say that I had some answers Doctor, but, I'm as confused as you are.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*Sickbay* Trelan to sickbay. Medical team to the bridge.
Creature says:
@COM:TAL WAR:  We will be back.  You have hurt us and we will not easily forget that.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
::closes in on the group with his tricorder::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
*FCO* Acknowledged.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
XO: Ah'm already here, sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*XO*: Wuer to Cmdr Trelan
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*XO*: On my way.
SO_Lt_York says:
::looks at the CSO as the call comes through::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*CSO* Trelan here. Go ahead.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: Yets head up there too Lt.  ::follows the Doc::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Grabs medkit and goes to the bridge::
SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::opens the door::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Moves to one side, so that the MO can reach the CNS, but stays next to her, with one hand on Solaa's shoulder::
SO_Lt_York says:
::sees crewmen in the corridors getting to their feet, no one seems hurt::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
CNS: How are ye feeling, sir?
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::waits for a turbolift to arrive::
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
:;scans Solaa::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
Self: I wasn't even able to speak to her before this...
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
*XO*: The Doc and I believe that the life form may have been in an evolutionary state but contact with humanoids caused it to mutate
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Walks on the bridge with CSO::
CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::still doesn't move::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*CSO* Mutate... how?
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::steps into the turbolift and orders it back to the bridge::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Still in EV suit::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Looks up at Trelan and whispers::  XO: She was a new crewmember, and the first time i spoke to her was when she was possessed by an alien...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
XO: I agree. it has mutated thanks to the our DNA.
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::heads in after the CMO and walks over to the XO::  XO: Well it seems it combined with humanoid DNA
SO_Lt_York says:
::exits onto the Bridge with the CSO and CMO::
SO_Lt_York says:
::sees a form lying on the floor::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: continues to monitor ships systems as they come back up ::
SO_Lt_York says:
::walks closer and sees her:: Out loud: Ryn! ::runs over and ignores protocol and kneels down next to her::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: I'm sure the doctors will do all they can. She'll be fine.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
XO: Well it has find a way to rewrite DNA information with some sort of radiation.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::steps off the lift and approaches the OPS console:: OPS: Miss me?
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: holds his hand out to the CO to help her up :: CO: Come on. Let's let the docs do their job.
SO_Lt_York says:
::places his hand on Ryn's shoulder:: All: Is she alright?
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Takes Trelan's hand to help her up, and vacates her position next to Solaa, for York to take::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
:: smiles up at him :: FCO:  Terribly.  I don't know what I was going to do without you.  :: rolls her eyes and chuckles ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
XO: It possible they are now in some state of flux on an evolutionary level but we believe we could help them, maybe we could salvage this first contact situation if we aid them
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO/CSO: I expect a full report.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO/CSO: And any ideas you may have.
SO_Lt_York says:
CNS: Ryn....::looks up at the MO:: MO: Ensign, is she alright??
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::also chuckles:: OPS: Seriously though... we really should get together for that drink when this is all over.
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
::Continues to talk quietly:: XO: I guess I've become alot more protective over my crew due to recent circumstances, and I’m not sure how to distance myself from it
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
XO: Yes we have one::Looks at CSO and smiles|::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CMO: Hold that thought for a moment...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CSO: We need to make an program that changes elements on molecular level, but not to small.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: Captain, let me take it from here. If I may suggest, go ahead and go to your ready room.
MO_Ens_Cameron says:
SO: She'll be fine.  ::injects a hypospray of Inoprovaline::
OPS_Lt_Telgar says:
FCO:  Alright flyboy, we'll do that.  :: smiles ::
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: You could use a minute alone. I'll join you shortly. :: smiles comfortingly ::
CO_Cmdr_Jameson says:
XO: You'll keep me updated? ::starts to move to the RR::
SO_Lt_York says:
::lets out a breath he was holding...:: Self: She better.
XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CO: Of course.
FCO_Lt_Foster says:
::grins and returns to his console::
CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::goes and starts working on the next problem at his console::
