USS Vesuvius:  Kaleidoscope -- Episode III

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
The Founder that had taken control of the ship has been driven from the battle bridge only to head for the bridge, or so the sensors said...

Host Gerry says:
A junior engineering officer appeared in Engineering and rendered the CSO unconscious...

Host Gerry says:

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees Becca ::

CNS Shirley says:
XO: I am here Sir.

CMO Delar says:
:: Hears the random clang as his med kit skims along the metal of the j-tube grating ::   CTO: Lieutenant...

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Good time, Shirley.  We need to check out Engineering before we go chasing this shapeshifter all over this ship.

Drotho says:
::  Exits the turbolift, changes to his original form and disappears into a side panel ::

AFCO Lane says:
CO: Ma'am, he's done it again...Deck 12 now.

Host CO Royce says:
*XO/CTO* Founder is now on Deck 12

CTO: Lieutenant...

CSO Trelan says:
:: Rubs head ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: How long have you been out cold?

CSO Trelan says:
XO: Pretty hard, too.

Host CO Royce says:
AFCO:  Hope, can you modify the sensors to scan for residual cells of the Founder?

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Heads for turbo shaft ::  Computer, bring turbolift two to turbo shaft one, Deck two.

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO:  Ready your phaser Doctor.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: I don't know.   :: Looks over to the chronometer on the control panel ::   Not long.

AFCO Lane says:
CO: All ready on it ma'am.  It will take a few minutes to reconfigure.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Takes defensive position outside the door to turbo shaft one, aiming his phaser towards the shaft ::

Host CO Royce says:
AFCO:  Thank you, Lt.

CMO Delar says:
CTO: If we are just going to stand here...may I suggest that we head to sickbay temporarily...I'd like to check on my staff during this situation.

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Check his head for fractures.   CSO: Can you get up?

AFCO Lane says:
:: Resets the sensors to look for traces of the founder's DNA structure ::

Host SEC Hernandez says:
ACTION:  The turbolift arrives on the same Deck as the CTO and the door opens...

XO Kelson says:
:: Offers hand to CSO ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: I think so.   :: Places hands on floor and begins to stand ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Readies to fire... ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Pulls Dru up ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Takes XO's offered hand ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Braces himself for something to jump out and attack him, and then peers through his cringed eyelids ::

Host SEC Hernandez says:
ACTION: There is a small metallic object on the floor of the turbolift...

Drotho says:
:: Slowly moves out of the beaker and through the far wall of Sickbay, entering a jeffries tube, and changing back to solid original form ::

AFCO Lane says:
:: Runs her scans on Deck 12 ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Walks into turbolift with his phaser aiming all around...sees Dru's commbadge ::

CNS Shirley says:
XO: Aye Sir....   :: Looks at Dru's head ::

CSO: Let's get you to sickbay.

Host SEC Hernandez says:
ACTION:  the turbolift is empty...

CTO Wakefield says:
*XO/CO*:  I've found Dru's commbadge in turbolift two, Captain.

XO Kelson says:
*CTO* Acknowledged

AFCO Lane says:
CO: Sensors have picked up something in sickbay...small residue.

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* Acknowledged.    :: Shakes her head in frustration ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Sighs as he's ignored by the Tactical Officer and follows him to the door of the lift ::

XO: Where do you need me Sir?

Host CO Royce says:
*XO/CTO*: Sensors picked up small residue left behind in sickbay

XO Kelson says:
CNS: Stay with us, Becca.  We need to be in constant visual contact okay?

Host CO Royce says:
AFCO:  Thank you, Lt

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Picks up the commbadge and puts it in his pocket ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Stops ::   XO: Wait. Did I hear you right?  The changeling was heading for Sickbay?

CNS Shirley says:
XO: aye Sir,

Drotho says:
:: Climbs down 3 sections and exits the tubes, jumps in a turbolift and heads for Deck 38 ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Acknowledged.   CSO: Yep, right into the fight again.   :: Smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves off to turbolift with CNS and CSO ::

Host CO Royce says:
AFCO:  Anything more you can give me, Lt?

CMO Delar says:
:: Taps his commbadge ::   *CO*: Sickbay? How many officers are on Deck 12 currently?

AFCO Lane says:
:: Checks the sensors once more ::   CO: Captain I have a unidentified crewman in one of the jeffries tubes, wait...he's in the turbolift now...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Walks with the CSO and the XO to turbolift ::

CSO Trelan says:
XO: If he is still there, we have him. Sickbay has it's own power source. It has to be able to be closed off from the rest of the ship to avoid contamination in extreme situations.

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO* Stand by, doctor while I get that

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Kelson to Captain...Dru, Becca and I are currently on our way to sickbay.

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters turbolift ::

CMO Delar says:
CTO: Lieutenant...   :: He stands up straight and turns to the officer ::

XO Kelson says:
Computer: Sickbay...

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO* Currently the normal compliment, doctor

AFCO Lane says:
CO: Captain, residue traces in turbolift 4, he's heading for the lower Decks.

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Rubs his brow in frustration... ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Nods towards CMO ::

Host CO Royce says:
*XO* Acknowledged.  Sensors picked up a small residue in sickbay.  Be careful.

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO/XO* Residue traces in turbolift 4.  Gentlemen, he's headed for the lower Decks.

XO Kelson says:
CNS/CSO: Remember, this changeling could be anyone outside of us.   :: Frowns :: We'll need to each take a blood test when we arrive at sickbay.

CSO Trelan says:
:: Hears the Captain ::   Self: Damn, too late.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Taps her armrest ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Exits turbolift and heads for sickbay ::

AFCO Lane says:
:: Sighs ::   Self: This is like chasing a wild goose.

Drotho says:
:: Exits the turbolift and enters the cargo bay moving quickly to a console looking for environmental controls using the CO's access codes, trying to release gas to render the crew unconscious ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Thinks hard...what's down in the lower Decks that might be of interest ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Enters sickbay ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Walks with the XO as he steadies himself on Sam's shoulder ::

CMO Delar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, orders please...

CNS Shirley says:
:: Heads to sickbay and grimaces knowing I have to give blood ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  Captain, have that section sealed off at Deck 37, lock down all jeffries tube points with force fields, at least we can keep him contained down there, instead of chasing him all over the ship.

AFCO Lane says:
CO: Captain, I have him! Deck 38.

Host CO Royce says:
*XO/CTO* Founder on Deck 38

XO Kelson says:
CNS: All right, Becca...let's see if we really are who we are.   :: Smiles ::

XO Kelson says:
*CO* Acknowledged

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* Acknowledged.      Computer: Seal off Deck 38, lock down all jeffries tube points with force fields.  Lock out all commands on level 37 and 38

Host SEC Hernandez says:
ACTION:  Force fields snap on at all access points to Deck 38, hemming the Founder in

CNS Shirley says:
XO: All right Sir.

Drotho says:
:: Has timed the computer to release gas in 13 seconds ::

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Exits turbolift and heads for transporter room, checking to see that the Doctor is in tow ::

CSO Trelan says:
:: Tries to stand straight ::

Drotho says:
Self: 12…

Drotho says:
Self: 11…

AFCO Lane says:
CO: Still reading him on Deck 38...wait, he's gone again ma'am.  He must have changed back to his original state.

Host CO Royce says:
*CTO* Lock out on Deck 38, with lockout of stations on Decks 38, and 37, Lt.

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  I need an exact location on that Founder Captain.

Host SEC Hernandez says:
ACTION:  The timer on the gas fizzles out as the commands on Deck 38 are locked out

CO: In the cargo bay ma'am.

CTO Wakefield says:
CMO: Up on the padd Doctor, and get your phaser ready this time.

CSO Trelan says:
XO: There are plenty of doctors here for Shirley to stay with.

Host CO Royce says:
*XO/CTO* Last known location of the Founder is in the cargo bay

CMO Delar says:
:: Pulls out his phaser and follows the CTO. He places the phaser on a 3.5 setting ::
CTO: Aye sir...

CTO Wakefield says:
:: Programs coordinates, enters three second delay, then runs up to the transporter pad ::

CTO Wakefield says:
*CO*:  We're on our way there...now.

XO Kelson says:
CNS: That's why I want you to stay here with the Counselor.  And you need to rest your head.  Sorry Dru...But I will take the Counselor now that you mention it.  :: Smiles to Becca ::
