USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Episode Two:  One Turn Deserves Another...

While conducting systems tests, the XO, CTO and CSO started to act in a manner not consistent with their normal behavior after an asteroid was destroyed. All affected crewmembers collapse onto the floor after showing erratic behavior. When they regained conciseness, a few minutes later, they only have a vague memory of what has transpired.

The ship is stationed just outside an asteroid field, where the CTO was conducting weapons tests. At the present moment there is in no immediate danger to the ship from the asteroid field or any other spatial artifact.

While in her erratic state, the CTO locked out all computer commands using a fractural encryption code. All communications, weapons, engines, shields and helm control are off line. Only the basic functions are operating at this point.

The CTO and XO are confined sickbay, per the CMO, for observation and tests. The CSO is on the bridge, unconscious, while the CO is beginning to act a little strange.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Standing in middle of the Command area wondering when is she going to get her ship back ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Still furiously working under her console ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Still unconscious in the first officer's chair dreaming of penguins ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Begins to pace ::

TO Horn says:
:: Arrives on the bridge ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Rises from her station and moves toward the Captain ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: In sickbay waiting for the CMO to release her ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: On the Bridge at Engineering 1 ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Ma'am, I have some ideas on how to help us.

XO Kelson says:
:: Lying peacefully on the biobed ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO: Yes, Cmdr?

TO Horn says:
CO: I rushed right up, what’s happening?

EO Blade says:
CEO: What would you like me to do, Sir?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Trying to resist the urge to wring her hands ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Opens up eyes ::

Host CO Royce says:
TO: Hang on a minute

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Leaves her office and walks over to where the CTO and XO are :: CTO/XO:  Well, I've got all the information I need, and on the surface I don't see anything.  I'm going to study the scans with every breakdown even to the molecular level and if anything shows that I need you back here, I'll contact you.

TO Horn says:
:: Notices Hope unconscious in the XO's chair ::

Host CMO Zria says:
CTO/XO: So for now, I don't see any reason not to allow you to return to your duties.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Peeks out from under her console watching the FCO ::

Host CTO Horn says:
CMO: Sounds good. I am ready to get back

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks around at CMO ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Until we get the computer up again, we are dead in the water.  However, the shuttles are run independently.  We could use their transporter to get a test sample of that asteroid.  Also, we could use the communications to call for help.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Calibrates the Bridge console before the tests ::

XO Kelson says:
CMO: And why was I here exactly, Doc???

TO Horn says:
:: Completely lost ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   FCO:  Great idea!  Make it so.   TO:  Several of the staff have succumbed to some kind of contagion that is loose on the ship

Host CMO Zria says:
<Med team> :: Exits the turbolift and walks to the command center ::   CO: There was another incident reported?   :: Notices the CSO and nods as they pick her up ::

Host CO Royce says:
TO: They begin to act strangely and then they collapse

Host CO Royce says:
:: Still pacing as she speaks to her TO ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Shifts to sitting position ::

Host CMO Zria says:
CTO:  I thought you might be.  XO: Are you feeling up to returning to duty, Commander?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pops back into her chair and tries to access the main computer ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Wonders if he'd be safer in main engineering ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Watches the med team take the CSO away ::

TO Horn says:
CO: Like you are at the moment?

Host CO Royce says:
TO:  Lieutenant...if you were in command of this ship at this moment...

FCO Horn says:
*Jankara* Ensign, get to shuttle bay one.  Use the Mauna Loa to transport aboard a piece of the asteroid we just destroyed.

XO Kelson says:
CMO: Hadn't realized I was not on duty until now, Doc.  But if you say I'm fit, then I'm on the job.   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
TO: You would be as concerned as I.  I am fine

EO Blade says:
CEO: Sir?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Fighting the feeling of anxiety as best she can ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Dreams about Sam, but he looks strangely like a penguin in a tux ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Starts looking for penguins ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> *FCO* Aye ma'am.  Right away.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Med team> :: Takes the CSO down to sickbay, placing her on a biobed near the others ::   CMO:  Lt. Lane also collapse on the bridge.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  How long to implement, Cmdr?

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Begins to exit Sickbay ::

Host CMO Zria says:
XO: I see, Commander, and yes, you're welcome to return to duty.

FCO Horn says:
:: Speaks in a lowered voice to the CO ::   CO: Captain, your concern feels almost overwhelming.  Please be careful.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Crosses her arms and rubs then a little ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: Ensign Jankara is on her way to the shuttle bay now.

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Noted, Cmdr.

Host CMO Zria says:
Rachelle:  Start the scans on Lt. Lane, and feed the results to my console.  I'm going to compare them with the others.  Do the same with anyone else that comes in like this.

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:What would you like me to do, Sir?

XO Kelson says:
CMO: I'll look forward to your report, Doc.   :: Notices tunic unzipped ::   Did you need to do more invasive scans, Doc?

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> CMO:  Yes, Ma'am.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Goes to her chair and sits trying to calm down ::

FCO Horn says:
*Jankara* When you arrive, please send a signal requesting aid from the nearest Federation ship.

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Stops at the door, waiting for the XO ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> *FCO* Aye Ma'am.

XO Kelson says:
:: Zips up tunic and straightens uniform ::

Host CO Royce says:
TO:  At the moment, Lt, please see what you can do to get things up and running at tactical

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles slightly at the XO ::   XO: No Commander, you were brought down in this condition.  Perhaps you'll find the bridge recordings interesting.   :: Chuckles remembering what happened on the bridge ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Exits the turbolift and heads to the shuttle bay ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to Doc and catches up with CTO ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Ponders a manual launch of an emergency beacon ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Moans slightly ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Walks to her office and accesses the data...paying close attention to every detail...and comparing the three files ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: What were you in for, Commander?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Rubs her hands together to give the appearance she is trying to warm them ::

TO Horn says:
CO: Up and running?

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: Don't look at me. I have no idea what happened on the bridge

Host CO Royce says:
TO: Computer core is locked out.  We are sitting ducks at this time

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:Sir?

TO Horn says:
:: Goes to Tactical 1 ::

FCO Horn says:
TO: Computer has been locked out Mr. Horn.  If you will go to your console, you would know this.   :: Gives her husband "the look" ::

CEO McGregor says:
*EO* Go ahead Laddie

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Well, I guess we should review the tapes like the Doc says.   :: Enters turbolift ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Enters the turbolift with the XO, heading towards the bridge ::

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: Don’t know. I was on the bridge, next thing I know I laying on the floor. All I remember is something about penguins

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Looks at the screen and magnifies some of the data, paying close attention to the detailed molecular scans ::   *CO* Sickbay to bridge.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sits back in her seat having no other ideas ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Enters the bay and heads to the Mauna Loa, wondering what is happening ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Taps her combadge ::   *CMO* Royce here

TO Horn says:
CO: Have we tried a full shutdown of the computer?

Host CO Royce says:
TO:  I think that was being discussed between the CIV and CEO.

CEO McGregor says:
:: Checks the power supply to Tactical ::

EO Blade says:
*CEO*: What would you like me to do, Sir?

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Penguins, eh?  Only thing I remember is a little more human oriented than that...   :: Shakes head at images in head ::

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Any ideas?

FCO Horn says:
:: Glances back at the Captain, getting concerned over her ::

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: I guess we do have to review the security tapes of the bridge

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Sits at the controls and powers up the shuttle ::

Host CMO Zria says:
*CO* Captain, detailed molecular scans show slight readings of metaphasic radiation within the brain.  This is the only thing that I've been able to find that would affect possibly affect the crew in this manner.

CEO McGregor says:
*EO* Run short diagnostics on main power systems, nothing over level 2

OPS Chaser says:
FCO: Ummm, ur-r-r I was thinking of manually ejecting an emer-rgency buoy, but....

Host CO Royce says:
*CMO*  Do you know from where this is coming from?

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods and enters the bridge ::

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:Yes, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
CO: Commander Kelson reporting for duty, Captain.

EO Blade says:
:: Starts diagnostics ::

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Noted, if Jankara can't get communications, we may do that.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  Good...you have the bridge.  I'll be in sickbay

Host CO Royce says:
:: Moves towards the turbolift ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Nods sadly at the FCO ::

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: The CO suddenly collapses to the floor

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods as she quickly moves by ::

TO Horn says:
CO: I have an idea.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hears a thud and turns ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Sees the CO collapse and runs to her, trying to catch her ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Hits combadge ::   *CMO* Doc...the Captain has just collapsed.  We need a med team here right away.

TO Horn says:
All: The captain has collapsed. This is terrible!

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks ::   Self: There goes the Captain   :: Sighs ::

Host CMO Zria says:
*XO* Understood, they are on their way.

CEO McGregor says:
*EO* Belay that Main Power diagnostics, I want you to run a diagnostics on the Environmental systems

TO Horn says:
:: Becomes very sad over the CO ::

Host CMO Zria says:
<Med team> :: Heads back up to the bridge to pick up the CO ::

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:Yes, Sir.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Is she breathing?

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: She is alive

OPS Chaser says:
:: Turns back to her console, hiding her sadness well ::

TO Horn says:
All: WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!   :: Starts to cry ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Begins to scan outside the ship from the shuttle ::

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: I am going to figure this out. We can't have the whole crew pass out one by one

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Okay...   :: Turns to TO ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Looks over to the TO ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Peers over her shoulder at the TO then looks at the FCO ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Turns to the TO ::   Self: Oh God....

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Gets up and moves to the TO ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: What's the threat, Mr. Horn?

FCO Horn says:
TO: Report to sickbay Lt.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Med team> :: Exits the lift and places the CO gently on the hover stretcher and returns to the turbolift beginning scans as they do ::
XO: She'll be fine, Commander, from what I see here, nothing is wrong.  We'll do more intensive scans in sickbay and see what is going on.

FCO Horn says:
XO: He's got it Sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Moans again and her eyelashes start to flutter ::

TO Horn says:
XO: We have lost the CO. Were doomed!!!

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to Med team ::

Host CTO Horn says:
TO: Report to sick bay.

EO Blade says:
:: Starts environmental diagnostics ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: Thanks for the vote of confidence...Don't you think you are over reacting?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gulps and watches ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Begins trying to analyze a pattern to the radiation poisoning for a possible commonality ::

TO Horn says:
:: Crying ::   CTO: Sickbay makes me sad!

CSO Lane says:
:: Opens her eyes and blinks ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: I hope we didn't act like this before we went unconscious...

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Seeing that the TO is still acting strange, slaps him across the face ::   TO: Get a hold of yourself

CEO McGregor says:
:: Speaks a little louder than he meant to ::   All: Doomed, heh...In a pigs eye

Host CMO Zria says:
Rachelle: When they med team arrives with the Captain, begin with the molecular level brain scan.

FCO Horn says:
XO: No Sir, you chose to make advances at me while the CTO tried hiding from the attacking Penguins.   :: Says totally deadpan ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Grabs a tricorder and scans the bridge ::

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> :: Looks confused but nods ::   CMO: Sure, will do.

TO Horn says:
:: Stands stunned as he feels the slap ::

CEO McGregor says:
*EO* Anything Laddie

CSO Lane says:
Rachelle: What happened?   :: Tries to sit up ::

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> Self: What the...? Nothing?  We are on the edge of an asteroid field and I get nothing?

OPS Chaser says:
:: smells the air with her antennae wondering what is going on ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns to FCO ::   FCO: Excuse me?  You are a married woman, Commander.  I would never do such a thing.  And I find it hard to believe that Alex would be frightened by penguins.   :: Scoffs ::

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Sir I have just scanned the Bridge ,all normal

EO Blade says:
*CEO*: Negative, Sir.

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Environmental all clear also

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Watches the crew quite carefully, curious which one will go crazy next ::

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Good to know, Mac.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> :: Smiles ::   CSO:  It's good to see you awake, Hope.  I'm not sure exactly, other than you collapse on the bridge...excuse me a moment   :: Goes over and activates the detailed brains scan on the CO as soon as the med team arrives ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Excuse me sir, but check the bridge recorders.  I had to slap you in order to get you away from me.   :: Moves back toward OPS ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Tries to remember what happened on the bridge ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Notes the similarity in the results of all four scans as she begins receiving the CO's results and walks out of her office ::   CSO: How are you feeling, Hope?

Host CTO Horn says:
Action: The TO suddenly falls to the ground with a hard thud

CSO Lane says:
CMO: Confused doctor, but alright I think.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: You are the third person who told me to check the tapes.  I guess it's about time I did so to clear the air.   :: Brings them up on a PADD ::

FCO Horn says:
ALL:: Thare she blows!!!   ::Rolls her eyes as Ryan hits the floor ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Go for it.   :: Grins a bit evilly ::

CEO McGregor says:
:: Slams his fist on the console ::   All: That’s about all I can take, Blasted Machines all Broken down

FCO Horn says:
::Moves to Ryan ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Turns toward sound ::

Host CTO Horn says:
::Goes to her panel::

FCO Horn says:
~~~TO: Ryan, can you hear me?~~~

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Nods ::   CSO: I'm not surprised.  You had an episode along the lines of what you witnessed of the CTO and XO, and then collapsed as they did.  What I've been able to find is that you are being affected by metaphasic radiation within the brain.  I'm trying to analyze a pattern to possibly find a source, or a treatment if possible.

XO Kelson says:
:: Hits combadge ::   *CMO* We just had another officer go down.  Send up a team.

CEO McGregor says:
Aloud: This blasted ship is a flying Dung heap

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits up fully and looks over to see the Captain on the next bed ::   CMO: The Captain too?

Host CTO Horn says:
*CMO*: The TO just collapsed. DO you have anything useful that we could use at this point?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers to the FCO ::   FCO: Do you sense anything?

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:Anything else, Sir?

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Mac...settle down.  We just refitted.  Just need to work out some kinks.

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> *FCO* Sensors are showing nothing.  It's like we're stuck in a void or something.

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Kinks, they’re all kinks...I have no more time to get kinks out

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Walks towards the XO ::   XO: Sir.   :: Curious what to say, uncertain if he's stable ::   When you were..."Cacadoodle doo" a while ago, did you feel the presence of an outside force causing you be behave so...irrationally?

CEO McGregor says:
XO: And by the way don't tell me to settle down

CEO McGregor says:
XO: You try and hold this wreck together

Host CMO Zria says:
*CTO* The effects appear to be temporary, so my best advice is to make him comfortable until he comes to.  He's suffering from the effects of metaphasic radiation.  I'm working on a treatment, as well as possibly determining a source, I'll forward the results of the tests to the bridge so that you can try to set the shields or environmental controls to filter it.

XO Kelson says:
:: Raises eyebrow at comment ::   CIV: I don't remember a thing, Ensign.  So to answer your question, no.

FCO Horn says:
Self: Oh no.   :: Shakes her head ::

Host CMO Zria says:
CSO: If you're feeling up to it, you can return to duty.  Perhaps you can find a way to detect the radiation while I try to manipulate the radiation protocols to counteract the effects.

CSO Lane says:
:: Slides off the biobed and makes her way over to the Captain ::   CMO: Will she be alright?

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir, I believe the CEO needs to be ordered to sickbay.  Either that or he's the first engineer I've ever seen that's prejudiced against engines.

XO Kelson says:
CEO: Don't get so excited, Mac.  Just do the best you can and later we can relax with a bit of the "old country".   :: Smiles ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Begins to receive the information from the CMO ::

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Believe me, you don't want to feel what I'm sensing.  One by one, this whole ship is gonna be in sickbay.

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Nods ::   CSO: Yes, she'll be fine, everyone seems to be recovering quickly after collapsing.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: He is a bit emotional about the ship now, isn't he?

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Excited?   I'll show you excited...   :: Begins pushing buttons ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Yes, sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to the doctor ::   CMO: I'm fine now. I'll get to work right away on that radiation problem.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Nods to the FCO, staring at her with great round orange eyes ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Begins working with the radiation treatment to try to counteract the effects of the metaphasic radiation as well as preparing a way to disperse it ship wide through the environmental systems. ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir,   :: Moves to Kelson's side ::   I believe everyone who has been infected was on the bridge when we exploded that asteroid or shortly thereafter.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves toward CEO ::   CEO: Now that's enough, Mister...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Watches the CEO punching buttons knowing it is useless, and wonders ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Pats the Captain's hand ::   CO: See you soon Captain.   :: Turns and heads out of sickbay for the bridge ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: The only two still unaffected are OPS and myself.

CEO McGregor says:
XO: Mister...Mister…   :: Breaks out in loud laughter ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: It does seem to be a strange coincidence.  Have you notified sickbay of this theory?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Walks towards the CEO ::   CEO: Excuse me, sir. We were to talk about
re-establishing control over the vessel. I had a plan to...run a complete shutdown of the computer core...then restart it. Or...some might call it a hard reboot.

FCO Horn says:
XO: No sir, I just realized.

CEO McGregor says:
CIV: Boot...hahaha!  I'll give ya a boot!

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Contact the Doc, see if we can get a sample of the asteroid dust.

CEO McGregor says:
CIV: Start her cold for all I care

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Waits for the computer to analyze the data that has been input and goes over to begin scans on the CO's symbiont ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Slightly frowns ::   CEO: I would like it if you took this seriously.   :: Thinks :: Unless of course, you're not feeling mentally up to it.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks maybe she'll get off the bridge for a while ::

CSO Lane says:
:: As she makes her way to the bridge, she has some strange thoughts about creatures in black and white tuxedoes standing in front of her asking her questions ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Commander, get this crazy Scotsman off our bridge and into sickbay...

FCO Horn says:
*CMO* Doctor, so far everyone affected has been on the bridge since we exploded that asteroid.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir, we're trying to get a sample on board but so far nothing has worked.

CEO McGregor says:
CIV: Spoken like a genuine 100 % Green blooded Vulcan hahahaha

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: The CEO falls to the floor. When he hits the floor a small bottle of scotch rolls away from him

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Do we have helm control?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Looks at the bottle of scotch, picks it up ::

Host CMO Zria says:
*FCO* Thank you, Commander, I appreciate that information.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Computer is still shut down Sir.

OPS Chaser says:
FCO : How bout the r-ramscoop, Ma'am,  it can be manually activated.

Host CTO Horn says:
ALL: This is getting out of hand

XO Kelson says:
ALL: Great...another one bites the dust.   :: Sees the bottle ::  Now, that's more of an explanation...

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Smells the contents and turns away ::   XO: Sir. Is it a custom on this ship to drink alcohol on duty?

CSO Lane says:
:: Enters the bridge and heads for science one ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Ensign Jankara was trying to scan the asteroid field but the shuttle's sensors are getting past the ship.

Host CMO Zria says:
*FCO* Have I ever told you how much I appreciate all the help you have been since you came on board?  After all, you did step aside so that I could resume my medical practice.

EO Blade says:
*CEO*:Sir?

XO Kelson says:
*CMO* Our engineer is down.  Send another team.  Unless you just want to set up camp on the bridge...

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: The CMO sent information about metaphasic radiation. If we reconfigure tricorders, we might be able to scan for it

FCO Horn says:
OPS: Check into it as an option.  If it can work, you can suggest it to the XO.

CIV T’Lara says:
XO: Commander?

Host CMO Zria says:
Rachelle:  I can't thank you enough for all that you've done today.  I'm going to have to note how you constantly go above and beyond  down here.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Do it...

FCO Horn says:
*CMO* Uh, thank you Doctor.   :: Looks at the XO and mouths the words "She's got it too" ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Thinks this is really getting out of hand, takes the scotch and leaves the
bridge ::

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir, we can tr-ry to manually activate the r-ramscoop to get a sample.

Host CTO Horn says:
XO: Aye sir

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir, it may be wise to isolate everyone that has been on the bridge since the weapons test.  We don't want this spreading around the entire ship.

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Yes, Ensign?

EO Blade says:
*XO*:Sir, what is going on up there?

CIV T’Lara says:
Turbolift: Computer core. Pronto.

Host CMO Zria says:
*XO* Thank you, Commander, that is an excellent suggestion.   And I appreciate all of those sweet things you said earlier.  It's not often you hear things like that, especially spoken with the sincerity that showed in your eyes.

CSO Lane says:
:: Tries to activate her console to track the radiation source ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Not until the doc says it's necessary.

FCO Horn says:
XO: That is unlikely since the doctor is infected Sir.

CSO Lane says:
:: Hits the console in frustration ::   Self: Why won't this darn thing work!

XO Kelson says:
:: Stammers ::   *CMO* Okay...Doc...I'm sure I meant well...   :: Has no idea what she is talking about ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Picks up her med kit ::   Rachelle: I would appreciate it if you would look after things here again.  I'm going to go take readings of those down on the bridge...and I may be there for a while.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Exits turbolift and proceeds to the computer core control room ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: Now the doctor is infected?

Host CMO Zria says:
*XO* Aww, there's no reason to be so modest, Commander.   :: Heads for the exit and the nearest turbolift ::

XO Kelson says:
*EO* Just tend to those engines, Ensign.  Kelson out.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Her antennae droop as she waits for the XO's reply ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks over to Sam ::   XO: Has the computer been released Commander? I can't access my console.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Enters computer core control room and proceeds to power source of the computer core ::

EO Blade says:
*XO*:Yes, sir.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Unless it is normal for you to receive the comm you just received from her during duty hours Sir.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> :: Looks at the CMO with a confused look on her face ::
CMO: Doctor, perhaps you should send a med team up, or I could go.  I think we need to check you out too, you're not acting like yourself.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: What were you saying about a scoop?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Raises an eyebrow, aware this is one of the only alternatives...also aware this could fry the computer core ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: I was hoping it was just an oversight on her part...

CSO Lane says:
:: Waits for Sam to give her an answer ::

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r, the r-ramscoop, Sir-r, it can be activated manually, Sir-r, to collect a sample of the aster-roid, Sir-r.

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Smiles ::   Rachelle:  That is so kind of you, always thinking of someone else, but it's no trouble really.  You've done so much already, I'll take care of it.   :: Continues on her way ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Give it a try, Lt.

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Completes the reconfiguring of the tricorder ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: No sir, she knows what she is doing.

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Walks into the turbolift ::   Computer: Bridge.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Hops out of her chair and bounces off the bridge for the turbolift ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks over to Alex ::   CTO: Can you release the computer? We need to get the systems up.

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: The CMO Suddenly collapses with out a sound

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Opens the panel manually, about to disrupt the computer core power ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Not yet, Lt.  We are still trying.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Blinks ::

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Falls into a heap on the floor of the turbolift ::

Host CTO Horn says:
CSO: What makes you think that I can unlock the computer?

OPS Chaser says:
Computer-r: Main engineer-ring

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Apparently you locked it out earlier, when all this started.

XO Kelson says:
*CMO* Doc...where's that med team?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Stands there completely still ::

XO Kelson says:
:: No response ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Exits the turbolift and enters main engineering ::   EO: Ensign Blade wher-re ar-re you?

CSO Lane says:
CTO: Alex, access your codes and check.

EO Blade says:
OPS: Right here, Lieutenant.

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Lies there motionless as her dreams take her into her memories of T'osh ::

XO Kelson says:
*Sickbay* Dr. Zria is not responding.  Locate her whereabouts and send a med team immediately.

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Looks at the CSO questioningly but checks her panel anyway ::

OPS Chaser says:
EO: Let's look at the main display and find out where the manual contr-rols for-r the R-ramscoop ar-re.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir we have another one.   :: Senses the CIV in the computer core ::

EO Blade says:
:: Nods ::

TO Horn says:
::Comes too::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: You telepaths...where is this one?

Host CTO Horn says:
CSO: It shows I locked out the computer

TO Horn says:
All: Where am I?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Moves to the main display and starts pulling down the location she needs ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Computer Core sir.  CIV T'Lara

CSO Lane says:
:: Rolls her eyes ::   CTO: Well unlock it!

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> *XO* Understood, Commander.    :: Thinks that the CMO should have been on the bridge by now so she must be on one of the turbolifts ::   Computer:  Locate Dr. Zria

XO Kelson says:
FCO: So it affects Vulcan’s too...

Host CTO Horn says:
CSO: I don’t know which code I used. It would take at least an hour to go through all my security lock out protocols to figure that out

Host CMO Zria says:
<Computer> Rachelle: Dr. Zria is in turbolift 2.

TO Horn says:
<FCO>XO: Apparently it does sir.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> Computer: Have turbolift 2 exit next to sickbay.

TO Horn says:
:: Stands ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Send a security team to the computer core to make sure our new CIV doesn't wreck our computer.

CSO Lane says:
:: Stands beside Alex drumming on her console ::   CTO: Well then you better get to it Alex. We have to get the ship under control again and soon.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> :: Leaves sickbay with a med team and waits for the turbolift doors to open ::

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Hands the CSO the tricorder ::   CSO: Take this, I reconfigured it to scan for metaphasic radiation

Host CMO Zria says:
<Computer> Rachelle: Acknowledged

TO Horn says:
XO: Sir, what Happened?

Host CTO Horn says:
:: Begins to go through all the security protocols ::

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle>  :: Assists the med team in getting the CMO out of the lift and into sickbay ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Takes the tricorder ::   CTO: Ok, get to work.

XO Kelson says:
TO: You collapsed after having a bit of an emotional outbreak.  It seems to be spreading...

CSO Lane says:
:: Begins to scan the bridge for signs of metaphasic radiation ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: If you were like me...the worst is over.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> Thomas: Take a brain scan, and we'll compare it to the others.   :: Thomas nods and they continue their analysis ::

TO Horn says:
XO: Do we have the computer back yet?

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> *XO*:  Sickbay to bridge

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: Scans from tricorder show residual radiation from members of the crew and from the bulk head by the turbolift

XO Kelson says:
*Sickbay* Kelson here...go ahead.

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: Security team enters the computer core to find the CIV just standing there

TO Horn says:
<FCO>: *Jankara*: Try to get the shuttle bay doors open.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Attempts to manually release the ramscoop to get a sample ::

TO Horn says:
XO: I have an idea.

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: The Scoop's manual release works

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks to the bulkhead near the turbolift and stops ::   XO: Commander, over here, residual traces of radiation.

Host CMO Zria says:
<Rachelle> XO: It appears that Dr. Zria is suffering from a similar reaction to the metaphasic radiation.  I'll forward the details of the scans to the bridge as well as the results of the analysis for possible treatment.  :: Forward the information ::

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Any idea where it is from?

XO Kelson says:
*Sickbay* Thank you...Kelson out.

Host CTO Horn says:
<Security> *XO*: We found the CIV. She is just standing there here in the computer core

OPS Chaser says:
:: Blinks as the scoop releases, and moves the scoop toward the nearest fragment  and attempts to grab it ::

CSO Lane says:
XO: Trying to get a fix on it sir. Wish I had the scanners online though.

XO Kelson says:
*Security* Any abnormal behavior?

XO Kelson says:
TO: You have an idea, Mr. Horn?

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> :: Tries to access the doors ::

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: A fragment was able to be obtained by the Scoop

TO Horn says:
XO: What is our biggest concern with the computer being down?

XO Kelson says:
TO: Life support.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Sir, I'd like to go to the core and see if I can complete what the CIV was attempting when she was overcome.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Tries to remember to breath as she taps her combadge ::   *XO*: Sir-r, I have obtained a sample, br-ringing in the scoop now.

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: Scans show three paths. One leading to the outer hull on Deck 8. The second to sickbay and a third to the Computer core

XO Kelson says:
FCO: You have no ship to fly...go ahead.

TO Horn says:
XO: Being vulnerable to attack?

FCO Horn says:
XO: Aye Sir.   :: Grabs a tricorder and heads to the turbolift ::

FCO Horn says:
Turbolift: Computer core.

XO Kelson says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> Self: Oh come on.  All I want is to open one little door.  Okay it's a big door, but still...   :: Tries to access the bay doors again ::

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: All crewmembers are still awake except for the CO which had complications with her symbiont

CSO Lane says:
XO: Commander, my readings show three distinct paths, one to the outer hull, Deck 8, another to sickbay and one to the computer core.

TO Horn says:
XO: Separate the ship.

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Check out the outer hull on Deck 8.  Keep me informed.

FCO Horn says:
*Jankara* How's it coming?

OPS Chaser says:
*CMO/CSO*: I have a sample of the aster-roid in a bio container-r instr-ructions?

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> *FCO* Don't ask.  I can't get anything down here.

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Aye sir, on my way.

XO Kelson says:
TO: I think running out of air is more of a danger than being attacked at this point.

FCO Horn says:
:: Exits the turbolift and heads to the computer core ::

XO Kelson says:
TO: But it is a danger as well...

Host CMO Zria says:
:: Wakes up in sickbay slightly confused about why she is on a biobed until she looks over at Rachelle ::   Rachelle: Same as the others?   :: Nods understanding when Rachelle responds in the affirmative ::

TO Horn says:
XO: Air wont mean a thing if we get blown up.

CSO Lane says:
:: Heads for Deck 8 to check on the radiation reading ::

XO Kelson says:
XO: Good point...but this is a moot argument at the moment.

TO Horn says:
XO: If you separate the ship, we should have control of the stardrive section.

XO Kelson says:
TO: We cannot separate the ship without computer control.

TO Horn says:
XO: Do it manually.

XO Kelson says:
TO: Too much of a risk to the saucer section.  But I will keep it in mind if things worsen.

CSO Lane says:
*OPS*: Understood. Get it to the lab and have them set up a containment field.

Host CTO Horn says:
ACTION: The CSO reaches the initial point of entry on Deck 8 section 18 and finds nothing except residual radiation

OPS Chaser says:
:: Runs for the turbolift with the sample heads for the science labs ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Enters the computer core room ::

FCO Horn says:
CIV: Ensign?

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Blinks ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sighs at the results of her readings ::   Self: Darn, nothing here.
