Host CO_Loran says:
::Stands on his Bridge and waits for new reports on the Missouri::

CTO_Benson says:
@::In Main Engineering, second level on the Missouri searching for clues and scanning with her tricorder::

XO_Madson says:
@::Trying to get power back up in engineering::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Moves over to the helm and checks readings ::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops to study a control panel and is fascinated by the outdated controls::

CMO_Madson says:
@::Scanning flat people and their misplaced organs::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: XO: Anything new, Commander?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Her wrist beacon flickers a bit.  Hits the beacon with her other hand to get it working again::

XO_Madson says:
@COM: CO: Not at the moment.  I am trying to get some limited power back online.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Takes her place on the Bridge.  Grins at the CO who looks all worried and stuff::

CTO_Benson says:
@::Moves around and almost falls as she trips on another corpse::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: XO: Make sure that no one removes their environmental suit even after power is restored.  We do not know what has happened over there.  The first thing you should try to get working is the computer and find out what happened.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Taps at the console and looks over at the CNS::

CMO_Madson says:
@*XO* Sir, my tricorder is showing these organs have been taken out and put back in again.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: How’s it going?

XO_Madson says:
@COM: CO: Understood.

CNS_McDuggle says:
COM: XO: Sir, on panel 6, junction 5, leave that connection out.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Opens a hatch, shines her beacon into the hatch and peers in::

XO_Madson says:
@*CMO* What do you mean taken out and put back in again?

CMO_Madson says:
@*XO* Someone must have wanted to see the organs, but didn't know where to put them back.  They're all in the wrong positions.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Which systems are you trying to by pass?

CTO_Benson says:
@::Sees another corpse inside the hatch and shakes her head::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Makes some adjustment to helm to keep ship in position::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: A vessel appears on Titan's long-range sensors.  It is of unknown configuration.

XO_Madson says:
@::Bypasses main power and hooks up to a battery pack on board::

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: The self-destruct system.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Oh?  Is it activated?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: How long until the Missouri drifts into the test range?

XO_Madson says:
@*CMO* Try and find out how they were removed and replaced.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I have a vessel on long-range sensors.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Checking.  ::Looks back at console:: 

CTO_Benson says:
@::Closes the hatch and continues walking around and scanning the second level::

CMO_Madson says:
@::Scanning another flat corpse::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: At our current course and speed, about 4 days, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Who are they?

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Unknown, Sir but they are heading here at warp 5.

XO_Madson says:
@::Activates the battery and sees if the panel activates::

Host CDMDave says:
@ACTION: The panel powers up.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Open a hailing frequency to that ship.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Wonders about the self-destruct.  Why would that be active?  Grumbles and looks at the console.  Clears a screen and pulls up the system diagrams of the other ship::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Opening.  ::Pressing button::  You’re on the air, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Unidentified Ship: This is Captain Matthew Loran of the Federation Starship USS Titan.  Please state your purpose here.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: There is no response from the alien ship.

XO_Madson says:
@::Tries to access data banks::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Yellow Alert.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
OPS: Dead air, Sir.  Checking the communications array.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Oh, aye, Sir.  ::Activates yellow alert:: 

OPS_Teko`Po says:
COM: XO: Yellow alert has been activated.  Unidentified ship incoming.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Gets helm ready for necessary maneuvers::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Be ready to extend shields around the Missouri and to snag them with a tractor beam.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Recommend we do that anyway, Sir.  I will lose the Away Team if I have to defend the ship.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops at a control panel and inspects it to see if it is the weapons control panel::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship drops to impulse and scans both Starfleet ships.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: We are being scanned.

XO_Madson says:
@::Sees some information pop up and then starts bypassing the panel.  Hooks up the tricorder to access the ships data banks and attempts a download::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir the ship has dropped to impulse and is scanning both of us.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Return the scan.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Tricorder beeps, signaling some kind of scans being done to the Missouri from outside the ship::  *XO* My tricorder indicates we are being scanned from someplace outside the ship.  

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship ceases it’s scanning.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Looks back at the CO for a moment:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Aims the science array and scans the alien ship::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's scans are reflected back.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: They stopped, Sir.  I'm not so sure that’s a good thing.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Extend shields around the Missouri.

CTO_Benson says:
@*XO* It is another vessel, Sir, however I am unable to identify.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Sensors can't penetrate the ship, Sir.  I'm getting nothing but feed back.  ::Taps console:: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Looks at the CNS::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Runs what is known about ship through the computer::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Whispers:: CNS: Umm you gonna move us closer so I can do the shield thingy?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION:  At the same time that Titan extends shields, the alien ship tries to envelope Missouri in an energy field.  The attempt fails, but the away team feels a slight transporter tingle.

XO_Madson says:
@*CMO/CTO* Report back to my position. Stat!

CTO_Benson says:
@::Signals the security team to meet her on level one then finds the nearest ladder and climbs down::  @*XO* On my way, Sir.

CMO_Madson says:
@~~~XO: Anything going on up there?~~~

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Whispers back to OPS:: OPS: we are already close enough to do that

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Oh. ::Hits a button::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship fires on Titan, aiming for the shield generators.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
OPS: Energy field detected, Sir.  It's coming from the alien ship.

CTO_Benson says:
@::Feels herself begin to dematerialize and rematerialize::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir we have been fired upon.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Increases power to the shields:: CO: we are under attack!  They are aiming for the shield generators!

CTO_Benson says:
@::Steps off the ladder and makes her way to the XO:: XO: What's happening, Sir?

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Return fire.  All weapons.

XO_Madson says:
@COM: CO: Get a transporter lock on the three of us.  Transport the CMO and CTO.  I need to finish my download and come.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Lock a tractor beam onto the Missouri.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger.  ::Fires weapons::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Locks a tractor beam on the other ship::

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: Indeed, get back to the Titan, along with the security team.

CTO_Benson says:
@*XO* Negative, Sir, I am staying with you.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's weapons seem to have no effect.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Prepares transporters:: CO: Sir, request permission to recover the Chief and the Doctor?

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: XO: Roger.  Make sure you bring back one of those flattened bodies and have it under quarantine.

XO_Madson says:
@CTO: I just need to finish the download.  I'll be fine.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, the weapons have no effect on the alien ship.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship fires again, not even attempting to maneuver.  Titan's shields are down to 67%.

XO_Madson says:
@CMO: When you get back, get a body transported to the Titan into Sickbay.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Shields down to 67%.  Trying to compensate!

CTO_Benson says:
@XO: Very well, Sir.  ::Motions for everyone to prepare to transport back to the Titan::

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Is that tractor beamed locked?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Beam over the security team and the Doctor.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Yes.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Starting evasive maneuvers.

CTO_Benson says:
@COM: Titan: Four to transport.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Beams them to the back to the ship::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship again envelops Missouri in the energy field.  While Titan attempts transport, the aliens fire again.  Titan's shields drop to 45%.

XO_Madson says:
@::Wishing the tricorder would go faster::

CMO_Madson says:
::Steps down:: *OPS* Please lock on and transport one body from the Missouri into Sickbay immediately.

CTO_Benson says:
::Rematerializes in the transporter room and steps off the pad, quickly unzipping her environmental suit::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Shields down to 45%! *CMO* Umm okay.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Keep firing at them.  Something has to penetrate that subspace field.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Transports a random nobody to Sickbay in a bio-field::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO Roger!  ::Continues firing weapons::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
COM: XO: We are still under fire, you about done?

CMO_Madson says:
::Enters turbolift and directs it to Sickbay::

CTO_Benson says:
::Steps out of the environmental suit and rushes out of the transporter room and into a nearby turbolift:: Bridge!

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Take us back to the test range.

XO_Madson says:
@COM: OPS: I'm working on it.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Sir, we don't have the XO yet!

CNS_McDuggle says:
*Engineering* Engineering, we need more power to shields!  CO: Roger. ::Turns the ship towards the test range::

CTO_Benson says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge and rushes over to tactical one::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Understood.  Open a direct secure channel to the Range Master.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Sir, I can't route much more power to the shields.  The tractor beam is eating up the reserves.. Aye, Sir.  ::Taps on the console:: Channel open.

CMO_Madson says:
::Steps out of the turbolift, walks into Sickbay::

CTO_Benson says:
::Notes the Titan's weapons do not seem to have an affect on the alien vessel.  Tries to think of some kind of modification she could make to the weapons::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good to have you back we are currently firing everything we have at the alien ship.

CTO_Benson says:
CNS: Thank you.  Yes, I can see that, however our weapons are not having any affect on the alien vessel.

CMO_Madson says:
::Starts a complete bio scan on flat body::

CTO_Benson says:
::Tries scanning the alien vessel's shield frequency::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CTO: True and I haven’t had a chance to try any modifications yet.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM:  Range Master:  We are being pursued by an unknown alien vessel that is firing upon us and nothing is affecting it.  Run your program with both asteroids and attacking ships, but make them attack the new alien ship.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Modifying our torpedoes to match their shield frequency.  ::Taps the console::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The alien's energy field begins to drain energy from Titan's shields.

XO_Madson says:
@::Sees the tricorder finishing and disconnects it:: COM: CO: I'm ready.  Transport! Transport!

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Target that energy beam and take it out if you can.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Oh no, Sir!  The aliens are tapping our power!  The shields are failing!

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The Range Master responds that his holograms do not have that kind of range.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Modifications complete.  Firing aft torpedoes.  ::Hits the fire button::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, we are at full impulse shall we go to warp

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Beam the XO back to Titan.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Aye, Sir. COM: XO: Prepare for transport. ::Gets a lock on the XO::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Range Master:  We are heading back to the range.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Beams the XO back::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The aliens fire again, this time with more force.  Titan rocks to port.  Shields are down and impulse engines are offline.

CTO_Benson says:
::Gets flung to the port bulkhead::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Impulse engines are off line.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Watches her console go red before she falls from her chair:: Opp ack ::Thud::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The tractor beam is disengaged

Host CO_Loran says:
::Stumbles to the port side, trying to catch himself:: OPS: Disconnect the Missouri.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Climbs back to her chair and sees double.  Squints::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Tractor beam just disengaged.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Don't have to.  The tractor beam is dead, so are impulse engines.

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: Titan's torpedoes miss.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Take us to warp 1.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Shields are down.  ::Taps at console::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The Missouri disappears.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger.  ::Goes to warp 1::

XO_Madson says:
::Walks to the Bridge::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: It's gone, Sir.

CTO_Benson says:
::Sees the Missouri disappear from her monitor:: CO: The Missouri has disappeared, Sir!

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks at the viewscreen::  ALL:  I see that.  I'm hoping they aren’t part of the football heads that we encountered a few months back.

XO_Madson says:
::Walks onto the Bridge and activates the tricorder and starts downloading the information::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Looks at the CO a bit confused:: CO: Football heads?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Yes, some future aliens that came back to steal a ship from Memory Alpha.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Oh.  I think I missed that department memo, Sir.

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The alien ship pursues Titan and fires a torpedo.

XO_Madson says:
::Forms his panel starts sorting through data, trying to find sensor logs::

CTO_Benson says:
All: Incoming! Brace for impact!  ::Grabs onto the tactical console::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CTO: The shields, they are still down.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Tries to get the shields back up::

CTO_Benson says:
OPS: I can see that!  Get them back up!

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CTO: I'm trying!

XO_Madson says:
CTO: Do we still have the modification specifications from the last time we faced the football heads?

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The torpedo hits Titan, but there is no sensation on impact only a reduction in warp energy

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Enters evasive maneuver Alpha 2::

CTO_Benson says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  I have them on my PADD!  ::Reaches for her tactical bag and pulls out the PADD::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: I'm losing power to the warp drive.  We are slowing down.

CTO_Benson says:
::Taps the button on the PADD and reconfigures several torpedoes to the specifications on the PADD::

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Take us to warp 5.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Still trying to get the shields up::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The aliens envelope Titan with the same energy field again.  The whole crew feels the sensation of being transported then blacks out.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir going to warp 5 :: goes to warp 5::

CTO_Benson says:
::Drops the PADD as she passes out on the deck::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Mumbles about a tractor beam and shorting out the impulse drive before falling forward on the console::

XO_Madson says:
::Passes out onto the Bridge::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Falls to the floor::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Falls against helm::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Thinks boxer shorts with hearts are over rated.  Drools and snickers in sleep::

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: The Titan's crew revives.  They are held by a forcefield, lying down on wide tables.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Opens eyes and screams::

XO_Madson says:
::Looks around the room as my heart is racing::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Wakes up and fight the restraints::

CMO_Madson says:
~~~XO: What is going on???~~~

OPS_Teko`Po says:
All: Keep that bunny away from me.  Err.. what? 

CTO_Benson says:
::Awakens to find she is lying down on a table.  Tries to move but can’t::

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: I wish I knew~~~

OPS_Teko`Po says:
ALL: I can't move!  This isn't funny!

CMO_Madson says:
XO: Are we in their Sickbay?

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: I don't know where the heck we are~~~

CTO_Benson says:
::Squints as a bright white light shines down on her from above.  Turns her head to the right and can see several Titan crewmembers laying on tables::

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Looks around.. then at her feet:: CO: Hey, I still have my shoes!  That’s nice.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: I don't think they intended it to be funny.

CMO_Madson says:
XO: Remember the flattie's organs were removed and put back in wrong.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: We are gonna die. 

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: I remember all too well~~~

CTO_Benson says:
::Tries to move her hands and legs but can't::

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Not if I can help it.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Looks over at the CMO and blinks:: CMO: I didn't wanna know that THANK YOU!

Host CO_Loran says:
::Finally awakens to see that he is in the same situation as the rest of his crew::

CTO_Benson says:
All: Does anyone know what is going on here?

CMO_Madson says:
OPS: Well, maybe they'll get it right this time?

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CMO: Some how that doesn't make me feel any better.

XO_Madson says:
Self: They come close to me, I resist...I'll, I'll...::Can't move arms::  I'll spit in their face!  CO: Are you out there?

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: From what I've heard our new Doctor say before, we are probably the new lab rats for this alien race.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CTO: I assume we are aboard the alien ship other than that I have no idea.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Have you ever read the statistics on dead personnel on ships?

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: Did you know more people in yellow uniforms die from exposure to aliens then blue or red?

CTO_Benson says:
All: It would appear we are no longer on the Titan.  We can assume we have been transported to the alien vessel in what may be their laboratory or infirmary.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS : I tend to ignore statistics.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CNS: That’s easy for you to say, you’re wearing Blue!

CTO_Benson says:
All: Assuming they are going to inspect us, we might then assume they have never run into our species before.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CTO: Or worse.

Host CDM_Dave says:
ACTION: Two aliens appear near some Titan crew a few rows down.  They slowly bring some sort of instrument down over one crewmember, a female, and turn it on.  The crewmember screams in agony as she watches her own heart materialize within the instrument still beating.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: And I am in the same situation as you are.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
::Turns head to look toward the screams and swallows hard:: Eeewww… ::Gets pale::

XO_Madson says:
Self: Oh God.  ::Begins to panic a bit::  Oh, what do we do? What do we do?

CTO_Benson says:
::Hears the screaming and tries to look over at the aliens:: Aliens: Stop it!  You are killing her!

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: Permission to panic, Sir!

CMO_Madson says:
::Squints trying to see what's happening::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Everybody just stay calm.  At this point there is nothing we can do, except try to escape at some point.

OPS_Teko`Po says:
CO: How, Sir? ::Struggles against the field and grumbles::

XO_Madson says:
::Starts rolling from side to side to see what is constraining his body::

CTO_Benson says:
::Screams at the aliens again:: Aliens: STOP THAT AT ONCE!  YOU ARE KILLING HER!  ::Struggles to tries and move::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Tries against forcefield to see there is any give anywhere::
