::sitting in one of the little chairs [tm] in front of the CO::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: following the Admiral ::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@::walks along the hallway looking for the Admiral's office :: XO: See anything?

PO_Bubba says:
CIV: Don't go breaking my heart.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
PO: Huh? War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

PO_Bubba says:
CIV: Have you seen Alice?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
PO: Alice? Alice? Who the hell is Alice?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::uses a computer to locate life signs::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: points to some people standing in the corridor :: XO: Keep an eye on them.

PO_Bubba says:
CIV: You know... that pilot from Squadron three.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*XO*: How's the progress?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
PO: No, I don't know who that is.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CO* Slow.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
PO: I will be on the bridge. ::stands and walks down the hall::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: turns to the counselor :: CNS: I think it's down this way.

ACTION:  The Console on the Capt's chairs blows up burning the the Capt's arm.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
All: Ouch!

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::stands up and clutches arm::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks behind him::  CO: What happened?

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: notices a sign on the wall near a closed door :: XO/CNS: Here we are.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::goes in the turbolift:: Computer: Deck One... you know the one on top.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: plasma feedback

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@ADM: So do we just go in shooting or what?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
*Sickbay*: Medical emergency on the bridge.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@CNS: No shooting, just act friendly and all that. You know, fake it.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: See if you can park us out of the way so we can get some repairs done

EMH_McRae says:
*FCO*: What?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge:: CO: You got a little something something... ::points to the COs arm::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: I'd suggest the moon but they'd probably find us there.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Just out of the way will work for now..

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: presses the door and waits for it to open :: All: Ready?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@ADM: Fake being nice.  Got it.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: nods ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::moves the ship away from the rest of the fleet::

ACTION:  The group enters the reception area and the secretary looks up and then ignores them.  There is no sign of Xavier or Sven.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: walks inside and up to a nice young lady at the desk :: Receptionist: Excuse me, we'd like to see Admiral Xavier.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
*EMH*: The Captain's chair just decided to blow up on him, he needs medical attention.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::fakes the appearance of being an eel zombie::

Receptionist says:
@ Adm:  Good day Admiral.  ::Looks up annoyed::  She is in her office.  She is expecting as you well know.  No need to bother me.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::takes the tactical console:: CO: No tactical officers up here, I'll do this job. ::nods::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: gives the XO and CNS a nod and walks to the Admiral's door ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: follows the Admiral ::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: presses the chime ::

Adm_Xavier says:
@All:  Enter!

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: update the fleet's current status on the view screen.  Freindly's in green

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Green? Oh and there I was thinking it was the red ones. ::rolls eyes::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: walks into the office ::Xavier: Admiral, we are here.

EMH_McRae says:
*FCO*: What you're too incompetent to deal with little burns?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Well you know...it's been a slow day.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
*EMH*: I'm a pilot not a ruddy doctor... besides I'm busy doing my job... send a medic up here to do his.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yes, I'm legless and you're 'armless.

EMH_McRae says:
::materializes on bridge thanks to the handy dandy holo-emitters::

Adm_Xavier says:
@Adm_Sheridan:  About time you got here...You are definitely are slow.  ::Motions for the people who were standing out of sight to surround the small group.  They find their arms grabbed and held tight.::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::jumps as the EMH appears next to him::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
EMH: frelling heck...you need to stop doing that

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::knew they should have gone in shooting::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Jumping? Show off. ::hops::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: flinches at her arms being pinned :: Xavier: We came as soon as the situation allowed.

EMH_McRae says:
CO: Well if your pilot had taken a simple field medicine class I wouldn't have to.  For that matter, you should be able to do this yourself.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::snickers and returns his attention to the flight controls::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: doesn't fight.....for the moment ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
EMH: I'm right handed...my right arm is burnt.  Fix me before I unplug you and reprogram your matrix to make you wear a dress

Adm_Xavier says:
@Sheridan:  Hmmmmm so you say.  Maybe you shouldn't have broadcasted your intentions all over the communications systems.  ::Sven appears before them with boxes of little worms::  Now I have to rejoin you.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::really doesn't want to have a bug in his brain::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@Xavier: Captain Quchant was resistant to us. We have been working to bring him around. I believe he is now acceptable to turning the Tal-War over to us.

Sven says:
::taking one of the worms he grabs Telgar and inserts one of  the worms in her ears.::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::holds out his arm for the EMH to fix it::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: fights against it ::

EMH_McRae says:
CO: Blah, blah, blah.  It's so hard to wave a dermal regenerator around.  ::fixes the CO and goes back to sickbay::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: How unlikely do you think it is that Starfleet gets taken over by ceti eels and we are the only ones to come to the rescue. Wouldn’t you say the odds are against us, just a little.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: I'm just hoping this is one big holographic test

ACTION:  The worm wiggles in and  finds a comfy spot and the XO  stops resisting.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@Xavier: Quchant will co operate soon. He has little choice.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: stands straight and smiles ::  Sheridan:  You'll rejoin us soon.

ACTION:  One by one, worms are inserted into each of the Away teams ears.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO/Computer: End Program?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Engineering*: We're going to need the deflector dish set up for planetary stun dispersment

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: You honestly reckon this is going to work?

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: relaxes a bit as she watches Xavier ::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: We're fast running out of other options

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::receives word from Engineering that the deflector dish will be ready in a few minutes::

Adm_Xavier says:
@All:  Welcome home.  ::Motions for the guards to let them go.::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: I'd best move us back in to position then. ::turns and taps at his console::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::feels his symbiont kicking the crap out of the ceti eel::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Where are we starting... Starfleet command?

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: yup.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Why don’t we just do the phaser stun thingy again?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::pretends to be infected anyway::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::moves the ship to the right coordinates directly above SFC Headquarters::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: We can keep that up all day.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: We're doing that....with the ship's deflector dish

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yeah but we can just use the phaser emitters...

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: well...the deflector dish worked with the other ships in orbit that were against us

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: The deflector gives us a much bigger target area.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Rotate the ship so we're pointing directly at the surface

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yeah, and the phaser emitters worked on Betazed!

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: motions for the others to be seated as she finds one as well :: Xavier: So what do you want to do now?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Almost there... just a few more degrees.

Adm_Xavier says:
@All:  Well right now we still have a lot of  resistance and we much bring them under control and that is where the Tal War comes in.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: ok, let's unleash the phasers on stun as well

Adm_Xavier says:
ACTION:  The CNS becomes nauseas with all the turmoil in his body.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@Xavier: I think Telgar here can make sure that everyone will comply.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Understood. ::powers the phasers:: Ready to fire on your command. Make it a good one.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Are we pointing in the right direction?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::fights back the vomit.::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: We are now. ::holds the ship in position::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Fire the phasers and the deflector dish

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::aims himself to spew all over Xavier, just in case::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: begins to sweat ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Yes Sir! Aloud: And someone get me a chair! It's agony balancing on one foot! ::fires the phasers and deflector dish::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@XO: You can handle the Captain, right?

Adm_Xavier says:
@::Jumps up:: CNS:  WHAT THE!?!?!?  What is wrong with you?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Sheridan:  Of course Admiral.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: turns to look at the counselor ::

ACTION:  Starfleet command is rocked by the Tal War's deflector dish.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@Xavier: I don't know Admiral.  I have not experienced this before.

ACTION:  The task force again turns their attention to the Tal War and their cohorts...

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::looks for the nearest phaser to grab::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Co-ordinate with the fleet to keep turning the task force

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::notices the actions of the fleet on the navigational array:: CO: Errr... they're at it again.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: feels the effects of the hit :: Xavier: That must be Quchant!

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Turning the task force? What do you mean? It isn't a pancake.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Increase power

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::increases power::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::increases power some more::

Adm_Xavier says:
@;;Looks straight at Sheridan::  Sheridan:  KILL HIM!!  ::Falls to the floor hitting her head knocking herself out::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::increases power to maximum ceti-eel bustin' power::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: stands and heads for the door :: CNS/XO: We have to stop him!

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: stands and follows Sheridan ::  Adm: Of course Admiral.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@ADM: We will need our weapons back to avoid suspicion.

ACTION: People around  command begin grabbing their heads in pain as the eels are exiting the bodies.  Confusion reigns.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: grabs her head :: CNS: Find whatever you need.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::grabs phasers as the eels start popping out so he can start shooting::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::starts stunning the room::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: drops to her knees ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: drops to her knees holding her head ::  Out Loud:  Aaaarrrggghhh

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I love shooting planets. We should make it an annual event.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::stuns Xavier, then Sheridan, then everyone else::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::hears the ship whining as power starts to drain the ship::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: How much longer can we maintain this?  ::raises his voice over the ship vibrations::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@*CO*: Whatever you're doing appears to be working.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::goes to computer console and locks the door.  Then proceeds to flood all of SFC with anesthezine gas::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CNS*: Great! keep us updated!

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::except the room he's in of course::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*CNS*: Not sure how much more we can maintain this

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::looks at CIV::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Until the powers that be notice we are winning this arc, I mean situation, and stop it.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@*CO*: I've stunned the infected near me and am flooding the place with gas.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::starts shooting the eels that have worked their way out::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I think we are nearly done. Even if the power went now, there's no way back.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Power the deflector dish down now before it hurts us

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::steps back from his console, into a safe zone as he turns the dish off::

ACTION:  The deflector dish malfunctions and a bright light surrounds the fleet, blinding them.  I do mean blinding them...they cannot see....not a spec....nadda....blind as bats.....

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: That was bright. Good job I had my eyes closed. ::moves back to the console:: Deflector power is down.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::rubs his eyes, blinks, rubs them again blinks several more times and still can't see:: All: DAMMIT!

ACTION:  The CIV, sees stars, big stars.....exploding stars

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::uses his antennae to sense his way safely around::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
Computer: Power the deflector dish down

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::starts checking life signs in SFC.  Also looks for an environmental suit so he can walk the halls and shoot eels::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
Computer: Computer, activate tactile interface.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I can't see squat, but I think I can tell you the deflector power is down.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*Sickbay*: Medical emergency on the bridge, bring some new eyes with you.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::feels his way around the console::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
Computer: Activate EMH on the bridge

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Or that.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: moans a bit and then pushes up onto her elbow ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ :: begins to come around ::  Self:  Damn.  :: sees the dead eel next to her ::

EMH_McRae says:
CO: What now did you stub your toe?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::wonders if he should shoot everyone again to be on the safe side::

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
EMH: Bright lights have blinded the crew

ADM_Sheridan says:
@:: sits up :: XO: What happened?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ Adm:  I swear I am going to go to Ceti Alpha 5 and blow it up.

ADM_Sheridan says:
@ :: looks around and sees the CNS :: CNS: Counselor, what is happening?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: looks up at McRae :: CNS:  Well, what's going on?

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@All: It seems my symbiont didn't like the ceti eel and beat it up.  Then the Captain did something that made all the infected a little wonky.  I grabbed a phaser, shot you all, again, and then killed the eels.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::moves the ship into better position since it doesn't need to point down any more:: CO: I suggest retreating again.

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@All: Currently SFC is flooded with gas until we have enough people to go kill the rest of the worms.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: yup

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
@ CNS:  Good.  Let's clear the gas and go take care of it.  :: picks up a phaser as she stands ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::turns the ship and flies off in a SEEMINGLY random direction::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@CNS: Well I guess we owe you a great deal of thanks. :: gets up ::

EMH_McRae says:
::scans CO's eyes:: CO: Yup, nothing I can do about that right now

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::starts to see blurry shapes::

CNS_Cmdr_McRae says:
@::vents the gas and unlocks the door::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::thinks about reaching out for his console but doesn’t want to risk grabbing something else::

ADM_Sheridan says:
@XO: You better check on Xavier.
