USS Vesuvius:  Thick as Thieves:  Episode Nine

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
Admiral Taylor carried a message so grave that he trusted no one but himself to deliver it.

Host Gerry says:
The Vesuvius and the Typhoon are en route to the Romulan Neutral Zone to investigate the claims of a Romulan Commander of a new and dangerous Technology that the Romulan/Borg alliance is developing.

Host Gerry says:
Rumored to have a specific radiation signature, little more is known about it.

Host Gerry says:
The Vesuvius and Typhoon are at present approaching the Neutral Zone at high warp.

XO: ETA at present speed is 3mins 49.6 seconds

CEO_McGregor says:
*ASO* I'll be up in a minute

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* Sir I need to see you right away

ASO_Lane says:
*CEO* Can't wait to see what you've found.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO: Very good, Doctor.  I've just received a transmission from the Captain.  She unable to leave her quarters due to an illness.

CEO_McGregor says:
*ASO* you won't have to

ASO_Lane says:
::wonders what Mac meant by that::

CMO_Delar says:
XO Understood sir...I will contact her immediately...::Types several details into his PADD::

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* I have only a few minutes until we reach the Zone, Mac.  Do I have to see it in person?

Host XO_Kelson says:
::nods to Commander Horn::

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* Yes sir I think you do

ASO_Lane says:
::glances over at Sam but doesn't want to distract him so goes back to checking the scans::

FCO_Horn says:

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* Very well, Mac.  I'll be right there.  Kelson out.

CIV_Galen says:

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* I can bring it to you sir

ASO_Lane says:
::adjusts the long-range scanners to compensate for some nearby distortions::

CIV_Galen says:
*XO*: I’m on my way to the bridge

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* That would be even better, Mac.  Report to the bridge.

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.

CMO_Delar says:
XO: Also sir, I've been checking the survivors from the U.S.S. Hurricane for any signs of radiation poisoning. So far results are negative, however I am advising a full check of the Hurricane as soon as possible...::Hands over a PADD::...it is all in my report sir.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: This type may sir

Host XO_Kelson says:
CIV: Take tactical, Mr. Galen.

CMO_Delar says:
XO: True, however if I can detect such poisoning, I may be able to inoculate the crew against the weapon's effects...

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vesuvius and Typhoon near the Neutral Zone...

CIV_Galen says:
XO: acknowledged.  :: turns around and heads for tactical :: once there tapping a few buttons ::

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Approaching the Neutral Zone

CIV_Galen says:
XO: tactical ready here.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: A moment in private sir with the ASO and CMO sir

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you, Commander.  All stop when we reach the Neutral Zone.

CMO_Delar says:
::Hears a reference to his title and looks over to the CEO:: CEO: Yes Mr. McGregor? ::Begins to be concerned for the Captain::

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO/ASO: Doctor? Lt. Lane? Join Mr. McGregor and I in the observation lounge please.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Remember the planetoid we found the Romulan weapons on a few months back

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Commander Horn...you have the bridge.

ASO_Lane says:
XO: Aye Commander.

CEO_McGregor says:
::Talks as he goes::

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Aye Sir

FCO_Horn says:
::Assumes the big chair::

CMO_Delar says:
::Nods and begins to head up the ramp to the Observation Lounge:: Self: I wonder what this is about...

 ASO_Lane says:
::follows along behind::

Host XO_Kelson says:
::walks into observation lounge with crewmembers::

Host XO_Kelson says:
::listening to CEO::

Host XO_Kelson says:
::motions crewmembers to sit::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Well we test fired them and found Polaric signatures

CTO_Wakefield says:
::wakes up abruptly and throws on his uniform::

CMO_Delar says:
::Takes a seat and nods to the CEO:: CEO: What does that mean?

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Plasma energy

Host XO_Kelson says:
::nods::

ASO_Lane says:
::sits next to the CMO::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Shows the XO his PADD::

FCO_Horn says:
::Looks around and sees everybody performing their jobs::

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: And we still have no defense against this weapon?

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Look familiar sir?

CTO_Wakefield says:
::runs out of his quarters to the turbolift.

Host XO_Kelson says:
::takes padd::

CMO_Delar says:
::Looks over to the ASO with an unsure look on his face. He was always a doctor, never an engineer::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: We may have against just that sir

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: However !

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: Just like the hand weapons on the planetoid.  Interesting...

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: What hit the Hurricane had something else attached to it

CTO_Wakefield says:
::enters turbolift::  Computer:  Bridge!

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: Something else?

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: If you look further sir you will see one difference

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: only a theory sir

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: Let me have it, Mac.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::straightens his uniform on route, then exits turbolift onto the bridge::

ASO_Lane says:
XO: It's quite a plausible theory Commander.

CEO_McGregor says:
CMO: Doctor, did you find any Polaric radiation sickness in the patients from the Hurricane?

CEO_McGregor says:
<Polaric>

FCO_Horn says:
*XO*: Approaching the Neutral zone. Coming to a full stop

Host XO_Kelson says:
::nods to ASO::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: I have found a Bio-Molecular signature as well

CTO_Wakefield says:
::heads for tactical, sees the CIV at his station::  CIV:  You are relieved.

Host XO_Kelson says:
*FCO* Thank you, Commander.  Hold position until further notice.  Kelson out.

CMO_Delar says:
CEO: I've been running constant check-ups on the Hurricane survivors, and so far no signs of any radiation poisoning have been found...

FCO_Horn says:
*XO*: Aye sir. Holding Station

CIV_Galen says:
:: looks over to the CTO:: welcome Dathan. Sleep in a bit :: steps aside for the CTO to take his spot ::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: My theory is that the Polaric weapon disrupts the shield harmonics

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO:  Is that how it is able to take out the ship's systems?

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Allows whatever Bio-Molecular string in that literally eats hulls

ASO_Lane says:
XO: I checked the data sir, Mac may be on to something here.

CMO_Delar says:
CEO: However, the Engineers aboard did show signs of standard subspace radiation exposure...

CTO_Wakefield says:
::grabs the CIV's arm::  CIV:  That's Lieutenant, Mr. Galen.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Heavy warp signatures are detected at the coordinates given by the Romulan Commander, all vectoring away toward the Madtion Nebula...

CIV_Galen says:
:: Looks back at the CTO:: CTO: Lt. I'm only being smart. relax a bit.. :: pulls himself free of the CTO's hold ::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Yes sir ,they fire at the ship at its power points and literally eat through the hull ,taking out systems systematically

CTO_Wakefield says:
::returns his attention to tactical and runs quick checks on the defensive systems::

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: Only the engineers though?  No effect on the rest of the crew?

CMO_Delar says:
<CMO>

CEO_McGregor says:
CMO: Doctor if you would please check for Polaric signatures in your patients,

CTO_Wakefield says:
CIV:  No Ensign, you were not.  Return to whatever duties you were previously assigned to.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: That would make sense, they want engineering systems

FCO_Horn says:
::Gets informed about the warp signatures by a crew member manning the appropriate station:: *XO*: Warp signatures detected sir

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: They control the whole ship

CMO_Delar says:
CEO: I will do my best, however most radiations show similar signs, I'm positive our scans would show signs by now...XO: ...yes sir, just the Engineers. They have the most regular proximity to a vessels warp core.

CIV_Galen says:
:: walks over to the command deck :: *XO* CTO's here and relieved me.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO: You are dismissed to check out this new theory, Doctor.  Let me know your findings.

CMO_Delar says:
XO: Aye sir...

FCO_Horn says:
CTO: Can you identify those warp signatures?

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Suggest we firm up engineering sections sir

CTO_Wakefield says:
FCO:  Standby...

Host XO_Kelson says:
*FCO* Get a fix on them, Commander.  Inform Tactical when located.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: I just wish I knew how

CTO_Wakefield says:
::runs intensive scans of the warp signatures::

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: I do have a theory

Host Gerry says:
#COMM: VESUVIUS: This is the Typhoon, Vesuvius.  Are you reading this?

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CIV* Acknowledged.

FCO_Horn says:
*XO*: Mr. Wakefield is working on that right now sir

CMO_Delar says:
::Taps his comm badge as he heads out of the lounge:: *Wood*: Crewman Wood...Aubry, begin scanning the Hurricane patients for signs of Polaric radiation...I will be with you shortly.

CMO_Delar says:
<Wood>*CMO*: Aye sir...

ASO_Lane says:
::wonders what Mac has in mind this time::

CIV_Galen says:
*XO* where do you want me to help out?

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: I don't want to keep you from your work and I think the Typhoon has something in mind so I will let you continue your work. ::rises::

FCO_Horn says:
#COMM: Typhoon: We are reading the signatures. Our CTO is running scans on it as we speak

CMO_Delar says:
::Enters his lift and orders a command to bring him to the Captain's quarters, while his staff begins working with the Hurricane survivors::

CTO_Wakefield says:
FCO:  Those were made by quantum singularity drives.  I'm also picking up transwarp signatures.

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: I used a feed back pulse of anti-Polorons to disable the power source on the planetoid

CEO_McGregor says:
::Stands: Yes sir

FCO_Horn says:
CTO: Thank you Mr. Wakefield

CMO_Delar says:
Computer: Computer, activate security override, Chief Medical Officer Lon Delar, Tango-Ceti-Elani-7.

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Could we convert the deflector to do the same here?

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Care to join me?

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Just what I had in mind

CTO_Wakefield says:
FCO:  And...  I'm picking up Polaric radiation from the planetoid the Romulan Commander told us about.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CEO: Make that your top priority then, Mac.  Go with what we know.

CMO_Delar says:
::He enters the Captain's quarters slowly and looks around the dim lighting of the room:: Self: Now Captain, where are you?

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: You bet.

FCO_Horn says:
*XO*: Scans show them to be Transwarp and Singularity signatures. Most likely Borg and Romulan presence

CEO_McGregor says:
XO: Yes sir !

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Lets go

Host XO_Kelson says:
ASO: Hope?  Give him all the help you can.  ::smiles:: Dismissed.

CEO_McGregor says:
Computer 2 for site-to-site transport to ME

ASO_Lane says:
::smiles at Sam:: XO: I'll assist Mac if you don't mind.

Host Gerry says:
#COMM: VESUVIUS:  That's the radiation signature we were looking for.  Let's go have a look...

Host XO_Kelson says:
*FCO*  What is there heading, Commander?

CMO_Delar says:
::Hears a high-pitched whine and looks over to see Emily and smiles:: Self: Felis domesticus...::He bends down and picks up the feline:: Emily: Hello...now where is your owner?

ASO_Lane says:

Host XO_Kelson says:
CTO: Make it so, Mr. Wakefield.  Yellow alert.

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Well I guess we have work to do.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::activates yellow alert::

FCO_Horn says:
::Sees the XO enter the bridge and relinquishes Command to the XO::

CEO_McGregor says:
Computer: What is the ship supply of anti-Polorons?

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Inform the Typhoon that we are willing and able to follow them into the belly of the beast, Commander.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::prepares weapons and shields for quick-power-up::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Romulan Warbird decloaks in front of the two ships, weapons cold...

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Aye sir

ASO_Lane says:

CTO_Wakefield says:
ALL:  Warbird dead ahead!

FCO_Horn says:

CMO_Delar says:
<Wood>*CMO*: Lieutenant, we've begun detecting signs of radiation, orders sir?

Host XO_Kelson says:
COMM: Warbird: This is First Officer Kelson of the USS Vesuvius.  How may we be of service?

Host XO_Kelson says:
::grimaces at the sight of the Romulan commander::

CEO_McGregor says:

CIV_Galen says:
:: moves closer to the XO so he can whisper to the XO if needed ::

Host XO_Kelson says:
COMM: Warbird:: So...Commander...we meet again.  Have you some more detailed information for us, I hope?

CMO_Delar says:
::Pulls out his tricorder and runs several scans of the Captain. With a smile he pulls a blanket over her. Going to the replicator he replicates a glass of juice and places it on the table nearby::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COMM: Federations: I am happy to see you both.  It seems that the fleet surrounding the asteroid has just gotten underway.  I can now safely escort you to the asteroid.

FCO_Horn says:

CEO_McGregor says:
Computer: Can we generate a pulse large enough to deflect such a weapon?

CTO_Wakefield says:
::leans over the rail and clears his throat quietly:;

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COMM: Typhoon:  Indeed, old friend.  I will remain uncloaked for your sake.  Let us go and put a stop to this thing.

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Keep the Warbird in front of us, Commander.  We'll take up the rear.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The viewscreens disappear and the Romulan Warbird sets course into the Neutral Zone, the typhoon following...

ASO_Lane says:

CIV_Galen says:
::looks back over to the CTO:: CTO: Yes Lt..

CEO_McGregor says:
Computer: Calculate and transfer data to my console

CIV_Galen says:
XO: agreed.

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  Commander, we should be wary of a possible trap.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO: What's the report, Doctor?

Host XO_Kelson says:
::nods to CTO::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::not sure if he was entirely clear...::

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Deflector controls on manual, waiting for your calculations.

Host XO_Kelson says:

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO: Can this treatment be administered as prevention?  or do we wait until attacked?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vesuvius joins the Typhoon and Warbird...

CEO_McGregor says:
<Computer> Acknowledged

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Thank you, Commander.  Steady as she goes...

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Aye sir. Steady as she goes

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Now we have it

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: I hope I am right

ASO_Lane says:
::smiles:: CEO: So far so good Mac.

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* Sir I think we have a counter to the weapon

CIV_Galen says:
:: looks over :: sees the empty OPS console :: XO: do you want me to take OPS just in case things get hairy?

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: I want an escape route plotted and laid in just in case, Commander.  But we need to protect the Admiral's ship first so factor that in as well.

CMO_Delar says:
XO: I believe that standard procedures should be able to do the trick. I will have my staff begin crew inoculations, however I would advise increasing the frequency on the ships shields to help control radiation that the ship comes into contact with.

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Already began working on that as soon as I saw the Warbird de-cloak

Host XO_Kelson says:
CIV: Take OPS for the time being, Mr. Galen.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CMO: Make it so, Doctor.  Dismissed.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the group of ships arrives at the asteroid...

Host XO_Kelson says:

Host XO_Kelson says:
::nods to CIV::

FCO_Horn says:
XO: We have arrived

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: I suggest that we divert all additional power to the deflector systems as well. They're going to be using a lot for this pulse.

CIV_Galen says:
:: taps a few buttons looking at the power consumption on the ship ::

ASO_Lane says:
<for>

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Take up a position equivalent to the Typhoon and Warbird.

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Agreed

CMO_Delar says:
Lift: Deck 12...

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Lets take power from deck 10

Host XO_Kelson says:
CTO: Any sign of the enemy, Dathan?

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Bringing the ship into position

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Aye sir.

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Also all non-essential science and medical sections

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* I'm sorry, Mac.  What do you have?

ASO_Lane says:
::shuts down all non-essential systems on deck 10 and diverts the power to the deflector systems::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  I'm picking up no ships in the area, I'm detecting no life signs in the asteroid, but there are caverns in there, too regular to be natural.

CIV_Galen says:
::notices the power change on his console :: *CEO*: what’s going on down there.

CMO_Delar says:
::Enters sickbay as quickly as possible:: Crewman Khtani, begin synthesizing the inoculations, Crewman Wood, begin organizing teams for distribution...

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: I'll leave main sickbay along for now, but close down all the labs and other science stations.

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* The ASO and I have come up with a larger feed back through the Main Deflector dish ,However we need to fire it before it gets within 100,00kms from us

ASO_Lane says:
<alone>

CTO_Wakefield says:
CIV:  Mister Galen, more power to the lateral sensor array please.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CTO: Okay...keep an eye out.

CEO_McGregor says:
*CIV* Rerouting some non-essential power to the Main Deflector

CIV_Galen says:
CTO: understood.

ASO_Lane says:
:;taps the console and watches the panel change colors::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  I'll try to run a deeper scan of the asteroid.

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* A pre-emptive strike?

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Well done

CIV_Galen says:
*CEO* all right, just was wondering. I was thinking maybe shut down holodecks and give you more power to the core.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::runs scans with improved power::

Host XO_Kelson says:
CTO: Let me know if anything comes up.

CMO_Delar says:
*XO*: We should have the primary crew inoculated within 20 minutes, beginning with the out sections and making our way to deck 18.

CEO_McGregor says:
*XO* No sir they can fire if they are closer than 100,000kms we need to fire as soon as they do

CTO_Wakefield says:
::nods to the XO::

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CMO* Thank you, Doctor.

Host Gerry says:

CEO_McGregor says:
*CIV* Look again they are already down

CTO_Wakefield says:
::a sly grin comes across his face::

Host XO_Kelson says:
*CEO* Make the changes necessary and inform Mr. Wakefield with your findings.

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  I think I'm in...

CIV_Galen says:
*CEO* Oh yer right. :: sighs :: not paying close enough attention there.

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: You and me work as a team on this one Lass

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The sensors reveal an all-but-abandoned military base, no personnel remaining

Host XO_Kelson says:
::moves back to tactical:: CTO: What do you see, Dathan.

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: You are an excellent teacher Mac. ::smiles and laughs slightly::

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: You had better get to the Bridge

CMO_Delar says:
Aola: Work with Doctor Vinak, get teams working on deck 31 and 32, have them spread out from there...

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  Definitely a military base, but it looks nearly abandoned.  I'm detecting no life signs of any kind.

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: Keep a line open

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Just my thinking sir. On my way.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CTO: I don't like this, Dathan.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION: There is nothing of interest on the facility, save for trace amounts of Polaric radiation...

ASO_Lane says:
CEO: Yes sir. ::heads for the door and then pauses:: Good luck Mac.

Host XO_Kelson says:
CIV: Hail the typhoon...

CEO_McGregor says:
ASO: You too Lass

CEO_McGregor says:
::Smiles::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  This is too easy.  There's nothing there for us, but... there are trace amounts of Polaric radiation.

CIV_Galen says:
XO: aye sir

Host Gerry says:
#COMM: VESUVIUS:  Looks like they beat us out of here.

ASO_Lane says:
::steps into the nearest turbolift:: Bridge.

CIV_Galen says:
::hears the COMM:: self: they beat us to the comm :: chuckles ::

CIV_Galen says:
XO: Typhoon is hailing us sir.

Host XO_Kelson says:
COMM: Typhoon: Is there anything left to investigate, Admiral?

ASO_Lane says:
::enters the bridge and heads for science one this time and brings the systems online::

CIV_Galen says:
XO: Patching it through now.

CMO_Delar says:
::Picks up a handful of hypos and places them in several med kits along with 50 doses of inoculate and begins handing them off::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  The Romulan Warbird here showed up just in time for those other ships to leave...

FCO_Horn says:
ALL: A little too convenient I think

Host XO_Kelson says:
COMM: Typhoon: And are we sure this was a current military facility?

Host Gerry says:
@COMM: FEDS: What I have feared has come to pass.  The main fleet has left this location.  My sensors showed them headed toward the Madtion Nebula.

ASO_Lane says:
*CEO*: Mac, I'm reading all power levels nominal. Deflector controls responding to the increased power perfectly.

Host XO_Kelson says:
::hopes he doesn't think we can take on the entire fleet::

Host Gerry says:
@COMM: FEDS: As you know, I cannot easily go there...but should you desire it, I shall follow you and render what aid I may

CEO_McGregor says:
*ASO*Well done lass

Host XO_Kelson says:
Self: Come on...come on...we're just sitting ducks out here.

CMO_Delar says:
::Opens up a display and checks on the locations of all of the medical teams::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::runs another scan of the asteroid, looking for possible power buildups::

Host Gerry says:
#COMM: VES/ROM:  We have to move.  Divert to Starbase 211 for resupply and we'll join you there as we may.  Taylor out.

CIV_Galen says:
::wonders what that was all about

Host XO_Kelson says:
COMM: Typhoon: Acknowledged.  Vesuvius out.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Warbird and the Typhoon wheel and head toward Starbase 211 as the Warbird cloaks...

CMO_Delar says:
*CIV*: Inoculations 39% complete.

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: You heard the Admiral, let's get the heck out of here.

Host XO_Kelson says:
FCO: Set a course for Starbase 211.  Ahead warp 8.

CIV_Galen says:
*CMO*: acknowledged doctor.

FCO_Horn says:
XO: Aye sir. We are underway ::Hits a couple of buttons and the engines come to live propelling the ship to its new destination::
