USS Vesuvius NCC 71985

Mission:  ...to join this couple...
Episode II:  Attack of the Clones

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

The wedding of Commander Trelan and Captain Royce has gone as expected, and the Bride and Groom are setting up quarters in the Vesuvius.

The Tactical Officer, Chief Tactical Officer, and XO are aware that not all is as it seems, but have little to base their suspicions on at this point.  

The OPS officer has properly prepared the ship for departure, and at this time the ship has just cleared moorings and is departing Starbase 64 on a pursuit course, unbeknownst to the happy couple.

Officers are just now manning their stations...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Stands down ::   CO: HIja' HoDIw'.   :: Moves to her station ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Checks current information ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Smiles evilly ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Et Tu Brutus?

FCO Horn says:
TO: I have never had a problem scanning another Betazoid until now.  It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Ben Zanar says:
@ Xenobia: We can once again...that is why you are here...that is why SHE is on the Vesuvius...you can do both...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Listens to the conversation ::   OPS:  We're in pursuit of a ship?  Report, Tigodan.

FCO Horn says:
TO: Hmm?  Where?

TO Horn says:
Computer: Observation Lounge

OPS Chaser says:

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  Not acceptable, Ben.  I love my life in Starfleet!  I have responsibilities there.  My crew will eventually figure it out.

TO Horn says:
FCO: To report this.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Hears the CO's order, thinking it sounds a little...out of the ordinary for her, but dismisses it to happiness of the wedding ::

@Ben:  What do you mean "they are not looking for me" and that I have "not left the Vesuvius"?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: I see the "question" didn't stop you, Commander.   :: Winks ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Standing straight  ::   CO: Ma'am, Aye, we ar-re in pur-r-suit.

TO Horn says:
XO/CTO: Sorry I am late.

CTO Horn says:
XO: But I am the exception.

CMO Zria says:
:: Frowns as she notices that some of the supplies are missing and then goes to check the list of what was received ::

FCO Horn says:
XO/CTO: Excuse me for interrupting, but the Lt. thought you may want to hear this from me.

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: YOU are still on the Vesuvius...you have 2 lives now...you remain there and you are here. Both of you...are YOU

CTO Horn says:
:: Looks at the FCO ::

CEO McGregor says:
Computer: Transfer engineering command to this station, authorization McGregor  Alpha

:: Raises eyebrow ::   FCO: Really...

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  How can that BE, Ben?  I can't be in two places at once

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Walks around looking someone ::

FCO Horn says:
XO/CTO: Call it a Betazoid hunch...

XO Kelson says:
TO: And what does Mrs. Horn know, Mr. Horn?

TO Horn says:
XO: She can tell you herself.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  That's suspicious...why don't we check it out?  We're at our discretion for a shakedown, what's the harm?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Thinks "transporter signature?" ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods to herself as she sees that the supplies were received and sent to the cargo bay ::   Rachelle: You are in charge here for a while, I'm going down to the cargo bay to retrieve a case of supplies that were sent there by mistake.
:: Walks out of sickbay and to the nearest turbolift::

OPS Chaser says:
CO : Aye Ma'am my thought exactly.

FCO Horn says:
:: Is tempted to ask to be referred to as Cmdr. Horn, but keeps her mouth shut ::

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Wonders what the heck is going on but decided to simply do her job and bring the scanners online ::

CMO Zria says:
Turbolift: Cargo bay 1   :: Waits for the doors to open and then heads the short distance to the cargo bay ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Wonders why the CO didn't scold her for speaking Klingon on the bridge ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Waits for an answer to the XO's question ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits back down at station ::

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Walks into the Lounge where the meeting is and strikes the FCO in the back of the shoulders, then runs ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Looks at Ben ::   Ben:  I'm waiting for an answer

FCO Horn says:
Self: What on???   :: Falls forward into the table ::

TO Horn says:
:: Pulls a phaser and fires ::

CIV McDonald says:

@Xenobia: I have always been an outstanding student...I have been learning
:: Smiles ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Ma'am, the transport was piloted by Benjamin Zanar.

FCO Horn says:
~~~All: Help Me!!!~~~

TO Horn says:
*CO*: We have a founder on board.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns to OPS in bewilderment ::   OPS:  Ben Zanar?!?

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: I'm right here beside you~~~

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  I know you have always been an outstanding student.  I know you are always learning.  But where did you get this technology?

CMO Zria says:
*Rachelle* I'm on my way...   :: Runs back to the turbolift stopping at an aid station long enough to grab a med kit ::   Turbolift: Observation Lounge

OPS Chaser says:

Host CO Royce says:
*TO*: Acknowledged.   OPS:  Intruder alert!   *CTO*:  Lock us down, Lieutenant Horn just reported a changeling, Alex.

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: Come on you can do it~~~

SO Lt Lane says:

FCO Horn says:
~~~CIV: She...she...she...not scanned...~~~

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sounds intruder alert, moves to the weapons locker ::

TO Horn says:
:: Kneels beside his wife ::

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: I have been doing some research...it happened before to someone…I found it in the LCARS...so I built it

TO Horn says:
~~~FCO: Hold on baby.~~~

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Sees the FCO on the floor and goes over to her and begins checking her with the tricorder ::   FCO:  Can you speak Sarah?

CTO Horn says:
XO: I recommend that we lock down the ship

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Looks at Ben horrified ::   Ben:  This is madness!

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Looks over to the SO ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Have medical start the blood tests immediately.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Hope, what is this all about?

FCO Horn says:
~~~CIV: Couldn't scan....~~~

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: Who isn't scanned Sarah?~~~

CTO Horn says:
XO: I also recommend that we place the CO in the brig until we find out what is going on for certain

TO Horn says:
XO: That is what she was wanting to report.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Throws the PADD at Ben. ::   Ben:  Take me back, Ben

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Suggest we ar-rm our-rselves, Ma'am.

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: Is it???   :: Smiles ::   Didn't you always wished you could have TWO lives???  Have TWO choices???  You do NOW!!!

CTO Horn says:
XO: I concur about the blood screening.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Not enough to go on, Commander.  A hunch is not enough.

FCO Horn says:
:: Tries to speak but can't ::

SO Lt Lane says:
CSO: I have no idea Commander, we are just looking for some ship, but no one has told me anything else.

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  I don't want two lives, Ben.  I don't want two choices!  I want my life on the Vesuvius!  I want to be married to Dru!

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Sighs ::   SO: Very well.

CIV McDonald says:
~~~~FCO: Sarah tell me empathically~~~~

FCO Horn says:
~~~CIV: Shir...shir...ley...can't scan Shirley~~~

TO Horn says:
XO: She couldn’t pick up the counselor with her empathy.

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans ::

Host CO Royce says:
ALL: Never rains but it pours.  Lay in a course after that vessel.  I have a few things to say to Ben for breaking up my wedding.   CSO:  Secure the bridge.   OPS:  Ship wide announcement, no one goes unescorted.

CTO Horn says:
XO: A hunch? We have doubts about the CO, otherwise we wouldn't be here. We need to contain anything and everything until we are certain.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Aye, Captain

OPS Chaser says:
:: Unlocks the weapons locker, waits for the CO's order for arms ::

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: The CNS? You can't scan her~~~

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: You are there...you are!

TO Horn says:
XO: I agree with the CTO sir.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Punches away at his console, entering in his command codes ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara>:: Sets course for Ben's ship ::   CO: Speed Captain?

CTO Horn says:
XO: I also recommend that we change all command codes.

XO Kelson says:
TO: So let's get on with the blood tests and see if the Captain is the Captain.

FCO Horn says:
~~~CIV: Wedding...not right...couldn't...scan her~~~

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  No I'm not, Ben.  I'm here with you...and I don't want to be with you.  Take me back!   :: Pushes a button and doesn't know what it says or will do. ::

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: Okay. Hold on~~~

OPS Chaser says:
:: Taps at her console ::   *SHIP WIDE*: Now her-re this, all per-rsonnel is now ordered to move only in pai-rrs until further-r notice by or-der-r of Captain R-royce.

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Second order of business would be to locate the CNS

FCO Horn says:
:: Closes her eyes, trying to push the pain away ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Pass out the side arms, Lieutenant.  Set to heavy stun.

TO Horn says:
XO: It’s not that I am concerned about her being her, but that transporter beam at the wedding just isn’t right something else is amiss here, and the CO is in the middle of it.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: All stations secured. Turbolifts are restricted to Deck 2 and below.

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Hears the ship comm and sighs ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Senses the CNS is in pain ::   CO : Aye. Ma'am.

FCO Horn says:
~~~TO: Help...my...love~~~

XO Kelson says:
TO/CTO: I still don't feel I have enough evidence to walk on the bridge and take over command.  Do you?

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls out phaser’s and begins handing them to the crew, starting with the CO ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods as she studies the readings and administers a hypospray to ease the convulsions ::   TO: Lieutenant, she has a mild concussion.  The convulsions were caused by the blow to the base of her skull.  The medicine I administered should stop the convulsions and the concussion will take time to heal.

CTO Horn says:
XO: No disrespect intended, but if the ship/crew is any form of danger, I would take command in a heart beat.

OPS Chaser says:
Computer-r: Locate CNS Shir-rley.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Get a team on the counselor's whereabouts...

TO Horn says:
XO: Sir, we have a reasonable doubt, and you have a duty to protect everybody on this ship.

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  The button Xenobia pushes raises the shields of the transport...

Ben Zanar says:
@:: Shakes head ::   Xenobia: You are not leaving...you are staying...you have to....

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans in quarters ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::   TO: None taken...and don't take this the wrong way but that is why you are not in a command position yet.

FCO Horn says:
:: Feels her body begin to relax ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Straps on her sidearm and nods to Lieutenant Chaser ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hands phaser’s to the SO and CSO, then heads for the Observation Lounge ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Pushes another button on the panel. ::   Ben:  I have to leave...I must leave!

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: All stations secured. Turbolifts are restricted to Deck 2 and below.

CIV McDonald says:
~~~FCO: You'll be fine~~~

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Takes the phaser and places it on the console ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Enters the Observation Lounge coming to attention ::   ALL: The CO has
or-rder-red sidearms.

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  The Button turns the console lights on

Ben Zanar says:
@:: Disables all the consoles except his own ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Places phaser on his hip ::

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  DAMNIT Ben!  Are you MAD?   :: Stares at him incredulously ::

TO Horn says:
XO: Sir something must be done, the CO is in the middle of something, if nothing else she needs to go to sickbay for tests.

XO Kelson says:
TO: I have a duty to my Captain as well.  I need more evidence than a hunch and a lack of empathic feeling.  Let's get the blood tests going and start with the command staff so that it won't look like we are targeting the Captain.

CTO Horn says:
XO: Time is wasting. We need to do something, and right now. The longer we wait the greater the danger.

FCO Horn says:
~~~CIV: Thank you, Lennier.~~~   :: Opens her eyes, attempting to smile at the CIV ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Moves to the XO and hands him a phaser, then the rest of the staff in the Observation Lounge before leaving and returning to her station ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Gets up and paces ::

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  The FCO feels a bit shaky but is all right.

FCO Horn says:
CMO: Verdict...doc?

CNS-Shirley says:
:: Moans and groans in quarters ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes phaser ::

TO Horn says:
XO: That was a transporter beam, that was around the CO at the wedding, something happened, and until we know she is suspect.

Host Xenobia says:
@::Sees the med kit on the wall, and on the first pass takes it down and places it gently on the seat. ::

CMO Zria says:
XO:  Commander, I'll have the medical teams begin blood screenings again....   CTO/TO: Do you really believe that the CO had something to do with this?
:: Indicates the FCO ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Tries to sit up ::

CIV McDonald says:
:: Smiles back at the FCO ::

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  Damn it Ben! Answer me!

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to CMO ::   CMO: Start with us now.  And move to the bridge crew next.

TO Horn says:
CMO: I don’t know if the CO even knows what is happening but something is not right .

Host Xenobia says:
@:: On the next pass opens the kit, glancing at it's contents ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Offers arm ::

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~ALL: I have been attacked and I am in my quarters~~~

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: I am not...we have two choices now....

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Tries not to panic ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Right now I do not know, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits at station checking her database search ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir, I tried to scan the CNS at the reception.  Obviously, I couldn't and now we know why.  Someone is a part of this.

TO Horn says:
CMO: I think she needs a full blown set of tests to determine if that transporter beam had any affect on her.

CMO Zria says:
FCO: Just take it slowly...   :: Returns her attention to the XO and administers the blood test ::   XO: Sir, if you believe that the CO is in on this, I'll help to get her off of the bridge until this is settled.

FCO Horn says:
:: Shakes her head, thinking she's hearing things ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: On the next pass, take the hypo spray and places it in the pocket of the outfit she is wearing ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO:  I agree with that much, Commander.

FCO Horn says:
~~~CNS: Counselor?~~~

CTO Horn says:
XO: We know that something happened to the CO, the longer she is in command the greater the danger. We had the upper hand, but it is slipping away

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  And just WHAT are those two choices, Ben?

SO Lt Lane says:
CSO: Sir, I still can't locate that ship. She may be cloaked

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~FCO: I have been attacked please help~~~

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Punches at console ::

TO Horn says:
XO: Sir, the worst thing is that we are wrong, and you were only doing your duty to protect the ship.

CMO Zria says:
:: Continues testing the CTO, TO, CIV, FCO and herself ::   XO: Everyone here is clear.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: I have an idea. Activate the interferometry scanner. Scan on a rotating frequency.

XO Kelson says:
ALL: We need to stop with the conspiracy thinking and start to do things logically.  If we storm onto the bridge, we could upset the entire balance of their plan.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Cmdr, Counselor Shirley just contacted me.  She's in her quarters and she's hurt.  Maybe she'll have some insight into this....

TO Horn says:
XO: The CMO can order her to sickbay for the tests.

FCO Horn says:
CMO: She's been attacked.  She needs your help.

XO Kelson says:
TO: On what grounds?

FCO Horn says:
~~~CNS: Hang on.  We're on our way.~~~

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Nods ::   CSO: Yes sir.   :: Activates the interferometry scanner ::

CMO Zria says:
*Rachelle* Contact all medical personnel and begin blood screenings.  

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: You have 2 choices...the Vesuvius or here...it is simple now

TO Horn says:
XO: We are not relieving her of duty just taking her away from it for a while

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~FCO: Thank you~~~

XO Kelson says:
TO: I repeat...on what grounds?

TO Horn says:
XO: That was a transporter beam at the wedding.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: On the next pass takes out the vile of Kayolane ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Senses the CNS is in trouble, looks around the bridge contemplating whether to go or stand fast ::

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Watches the display closely hoping to find something ::

TO Horn says:
XO: It was directed at the Captain.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Do you have proof of that?

Host Xenobia says:
@Ben:  I choose the Vesuvius

FCO Horn says:
:: Stands up slowly ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: I believe, the CO would understand

TO Horn says:
XO: The tricorder readings are exact on it.

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Man your post, Lieutenant, others will help.

TO Horn says:
XO: Something happened to the captain, and that gives us grounds for the tests.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: As she paces to the back of the transport, she loads the hypo with the Kayolane ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: Good.  That is something to build on.

CMO Zria says:
:: Nods as she starts out of the lounge ::   XO: I'm going to go check on the Counselor...a team will be up to the bridge soon to continue blood testing there.

Ben Zanar says:
@Xenobia: You  did...you are there...and you are here...

FCO Horn says:
XO/TO: Gentlemen, excuse me.  Founder?  Counselor?  Injured?  Oh forget it.  XO: Permission to leave Sir!   :: Walks out of the lounge and heads to the CNS ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: I tell you what, ask the CO a question that only the CO would know. If she fails to answer then we know for certain and take her into custody. Would that help you to make a decision?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Wonders how the CO knew what she was thinking, looking at her suspiciously :: CO : Aye, Ma'am.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: As she walks up to the front of the transport, she injects Ben with the Kayolane hypo ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: You need to test the bridge crew now.  Send a medical team to the Counselor's quarters.

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  The hypospray drives home into Ben's neck...

Ben Zanar says:
@:: Falls unconscious ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Smiles and moves him from the chair, setting him down on the
deck. ::

TO Horn says:
XO/CTO: I am not saying arrest her, I am saying get her of the bridge for awhile.

FCO Horn says:
:: Is thrilled the bridge staff is so concerned about the CNS ::

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~FCO: Head is hurting~~~

FCO Horn says:
:: Enters the turbolift and orders it to the proper deck ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Commander, you can check on the Counselor.  Dismissed.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Sits at the console... ::   Self:  Now, if I could only read this panel!

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: Anything yet?

TO Horn says:
XO/CTO: The tricorder readings are enough to call for the tests.

FCO Horn says:
~~~CNS: I know the feeling, believe me.  Hang on.  I'll be there in a moment.~~~

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  Well...I'll have to guess and I hope it's not the destruct button!
:: Pushes a random button ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO/XO: Let's take our positions on the bridge before we are thought of as conspirators ourselves.   :: Motions to doorway ::

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~FCO:  I am trying~~~

OPS Chaser says:
~~~Counselor?~~~

CTO Horn says:
:: Getting impatient with talking.  Ready to take some action ::

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION:  The button Xenobia pushes drops the ship out of warp...

CMO Zria says:
:: Continues toward the door ::   XO: Aye, Sir.   :: Walks toward the bridge and begins blood screenings there ::   *Rachelle* Head to Counselor Shirley's quarters to check on her, she's been attacked.

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Continues the rotating scans looking for any signs of a disturbance ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Smiles as she feels the transport drop out of warp. ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> *CMO* Aye, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
:: Follows CMO onto the bridge ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: We get on the bridge, then what?

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  Now what?   :: Looks at the console ::   Let's try...THIS button!
:: Presses the button ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Act like nothing is wrong?

XO Kelson says:
TO: Just act like everything is normal.

CMO Zria says:
:: Completes the testing of those at the back of the bridge and walks over to the SO ::   SO: I need to take a small blood sample Lt, it won't take but a moment.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Yes, we need to keep our cards close to the vest for a while.  Trust me...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gets a creepy feeling running up and down her spine ::

CNS-Shirley says:
~~~OPS: Starr…I hurt, FCO coming~~~

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Grabs her med kit and heads to the counselor's quarters ::

TO Horn says:
XO: And just what are you going to do? Nothing? Let everything fall apart.

CTO Horn says:
XO: Yes sir

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves onto bridge ::

TO Horn says:
:: Does not like the situation at all ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO : I sense something is ver-ry wr-rong with the Counselor-r Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
ACTION: The transport's thrusters begin to fire randomly throwing it into a tumble...

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Enters the counselor's quarters with a medical override and looks for Becca ::   CNS: Counselor?  It's Rachelle, where are you?

CTO Horn says:
TO: You heard the XO. Lets get to the bridge and man our stations and be ready for anything.

TO Horn says:
:: Moves onto the bridge to Tactical 1 ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Gives TO a look that would stop a train ::

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Looks around the bridge as the scanners do their work ::

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  Whoa!  Straps herself in

CNS-Shirley says:
Rachelle:  I am here...   :: Laying on the floor near closet ::

FCO Horn says:
*Bridge* Would someone please give me a command code so I can help our injured Counselor?

XO Kelson says:
CO: We've ordered blood tests for the entire crew.  We hope the Founder will be located soon.

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  Not good!  Let's try THIS button!   :: Presses another button ::

CMO Zria says:
:: Takes the sample from the SO and continues over to OPS ::   OPS: Hello, Lieutenant, I need to take a blood sample, it won't take but a moment and it won't hurt a bit.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves to XO chair and sends command code to FCO ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Mans her station and begins to receive reports from the security teams ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks back to the CO and prepares a code ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Makes her way over to the closet and begins scanning the CNS ::   CNS: What happened?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Hits console ::   *FCO* Do you have an escort, Commander?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks in fear at the CMO buts does not move ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Feels Royce in her belly getting dizzy. ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Thinks to self:  Self:  Sorry, Royce!

FCO Horn says:
*CSO* I have a headache and short temper at the moment, does that count?

CNS-Shirley says:
Rachelle: Someone came in here and hit me hard...did I miss the wedding?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gulps ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Accepts the code from the XO and heads the turbolift to the CNS ::

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Smiles as she sees something on the scanners at last ::   XO: Sir, I have a transport on sensors...it's out of control sir, in a tumbling attitude.

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Snickers, heading for the lift ordering it to open ::

XO Kelson says:
SO: Are we close enough for a tractor beam?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Logs code authorization per the XO ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
CO: Captain, permission to leave the bridge and escort Commander Horn to the Counselor's quarters.

CMO Zria says:
:: Quickly takes the sample ::   OPS: Thank you, Lt.  I'm finished.   :: Continues on to the CSO ::   CSO: Commander, I need to get a sample from you before you leave...   :: Quickly does the blood test ::

CTO Horn says:
XO/CO: Security teams report nothing so far, but they still are on alert and doing deck by deck searches

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Nods to the CMO ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Shakes head to foot but sits fast in her chair ::

SO Lt Lane says:
XO: No sir, tractor range is still 12 minutes away.

TO Horn says:
XO: I have the transport on tactical sensors now.

CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles ::   CSO: Thank you, Commander.   :: Walks over to the CO ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Puts the transport on screen ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Very good...have them keep working with the medical staff as well.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Feels the inertial stabilizers kick in. ::   Self:  That's better!   :: Lets out a sigh of relief ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Aye sir

Host CO Royce says:
CSO:  Dru, I need you here.  Denied.   :: Holds out arm for Doctor ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Let's get to the transport quickly, Lt. Chaser.  

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  I wish I could read this danged panel!  I hate having to guess what these buttons do!

TO Horn says:
XO: Shall I scan the transport for lifesigns?

CMO Zria says:
CO:  Captain, the bridge crew has been cleared by blood screenings, that is... everyone except you.  If I may?  :: Prepares to do the blood test ::

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
:: Returns to Science I ::   CO: Aye.

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara>:: Glances over her shoulder at the FCO ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Exits the turbolift and nearly runs to the CNS' quarters ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>CNS: I'm afraid so, the wedding was a few hours ago.   :: Smiles :: Looks like you've had a rough go of it

Host CO Royce says:
CMO:  Of course.  

FCO Horn says:
:: Enters CNS' quarters ::

FCO Horn says:
CNS: How are you?

CNS-Shirley says:
Rachelle: Is everyone all right?   :: Looks so confused ::

Host Xenobia says:
@Self:  Guess I just wait here.

CMO Zria says:
:: Quickly takes the blood test and nods to the XO ::   XO: It's clear.

CNS-Shirley says:
FCO:  I am okay just got a very bad headache....

FCO Horn says:
CNS: Hit in the head?

SO Lt Lane says:
:: Does a check for any lifesigns ::

CNS-Shirley says:
FCO: Yes...Why?

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>CNS/FCO:  And quite a nasty concussion as well, from the blow to head.

FCO Horn says:
CNS: Because she got me too.   :: Turns and points to the knot on the back of her neck ::

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Un-straps from the chair and moves to Ben to secure him in case he wakes up. ::

CNS-Shirley says:
FCO:  I am sorry, but I knew you could probably get my message....

TO Horn says:
XO: I read two life signs on the transport.

FCO Horn says:
CNS: No problem.  I'm just glad you are okay.

Host Xenobia says:
@:: Has hog-tied Ben and has strapped him in the other seat. ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Hearing the XO command erects a force field around the shuttle bay and overrides the shuttle bay doors and keeps them closed ::

CNS-Shirley says:
FCO:  I just got a headache...   ::rubs head::

SO Lt Lane says:
XO: Commander, I have a Trill life sign on the transport. It's the Captain sir.
:: Turns to look at Sam ::

CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>:: Sits back on her heels ::   CNS/FCO:  The last time we had an outbreak of head injuries like this, it was founders...do they suspect another one on the ship?...is that why we're having to do blood screenings again?

CSO Cmdr Trelan says:
SO: What?

Host CO Royce says:
