USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985

Mission Summary:

The Vesuvius is still trapped within the metryon gas cloud and the crew suffering the odd effects of physical and personality changes.

The crew has managed to locate the two missing shuttles and are keeping them secured with tractor beams as they attempt to get propulsion back in order to get out of the cloud.

As we return, we see the crew in different states of sanity, as they revert to forms of animated earth creatures and characters from the late 20th century.

CSO Lane says:
:: Walks back to Science Two and calls engineering ::   *Engineering* The is the bridge. I need a repair crew up here to fix the science and operations console ASAP.

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  My crew are not toys, Dresden...

Dresden:  Now...can you tell me who or what you are exactly?

CTO Horn says:
:: Reaches tactical and checks her board and scans ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Smirks ::   CO: I suppose that the next thing you will ask for is for your ship to be returned to its previous condition.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles sweetly at Dresden, her arms still around his neck... ::
Dresden:  Of course...if you would...please?

Host Dresden says:
CO: I told you, I'm Dresden, of the Dresborn.  I guess you would say that we're scientists...of a sort.

XO Kelson says:
:: Still scanning for the Captain ::

EO McCain says:
CEO: I was thinking that if we threatened to blow up the ship.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles and cocks her head at him... ::   Dresden:  Of the Dresborn...who exactly are the Dresborn?

:: Hits combadge ::   *CO* Kelson to Captain...Come in Captain...

FCO Horn says:
:: Tries to sense the CO's location ::

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  Insignificant insects?  That sounds like something a Q would say...

CTO Horn says:
:: Looks around the bridge ::   XO: I have no idea

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Dresden takes the CO to the heart of the Dresborn homeworld.  As she sees how they exist it appears to be an entirely different dimension.

CSO Lane says:
:: Heads back to the science console and looks down ::   Self: Now wasn't there something wrong with this station earlier?   :: Looks puzzled ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks around in awe at the Dresborn homeworld... ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Begins scan of the ship ::

XO Kelson says:
:: No response ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: I can't locate her combadge signature on the ship

FCO Horn says:
XO: Commander, I sensed her for a moment, but now she's gone.  I don't know where she was.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: All stop...

Host Dresden says:
CO:  You would bring them up... But yes, we know of them.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Aye Sir.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Checks shuttles and escape pods ::

EO McCain says:
CEO: How would you like to set up the self-destruct sir?

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  Does your species live in a different dimension?  And you sound rather...upset at the mention of a Q

FCO Horn says:
:: Enters the all stop command and watches the Vesuvius slow ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Recommend going to red alert

OPS Chaser says:
CO : All shuttles and escape pods intact and accounted for-r-r, Sir-r-r

XO Kelson says:
CSO: Start a 360 degree search for the Captain, Lt. Lane.

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Make it so...

CEO McGregor says:
EO: Set it up with a 3-staff destruct command. Add the Captain as the final

FCO Horn says:
XO: Reading all stop Sir.  Should I prepare a search pattern so we can scan for a comm signature?

CSO Lane says:
XO: Aye sir, right away.

CTO Horn says:
:: Brings the ship to red alert ::

Host Dresden says:
CO: Yes, we are trans-dimensional beings, and many of us feel the Q are rather inferior beings.  Although, I will admit, they do know how to use other inferior beings as proper entertainment.

EO McCain says:
CEO: yes sir.

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  You know...they will be looking for me...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Initiates a communications signal search for alien communications ::

EO McCain says:
:: Begins working on a 3-staff destruct command and add the captain as final::

Host Dresden says:
CO: I know, and I'll take you 'home' soon.   :: Smiles ::   Does this form, please you?

CSO Lane says:
:: Begins the 360 degree search ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Let's get those people in the shuttle on board the Vesuvius to see if they need medical attention.  Bring the shuttles into the docking bay.

EO McCain says:
Self: Sometimes I wish I was a Q.

OPS Chaser says:
XO : Aye, Sir-r-r.

CTO Horn says:
XO: All departments report battle ready. Shields are up and weapons are powered

Host Dresden says:
   ACTION: Sensors are unable to detect the Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Smiles at Dresden... ::   Dresden:  At the risk of being forward...
:: Gives Dresden a gentle kiss on the lips... ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Sets her station for red alert and receives confirmation of shuttle bay
readiness ::

XO Kelson says:
CTO: Very good, Commander.  Stand ready.

CTO Horn says:
XO: Aye sir

XO Kelson says:
FCO: What was the last thing you sensed about the Captain, Commander?

EO McCain says:	
:: Attempts to add code ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Opens bay doors and maintains tractor auto sequence to bring in the shuttles one by one. ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Just her presence Sir.   :: Turns to look at the XO ::   I couldn't tell you where she was or how far away she was.

CSO Lane says:
XO: Sir, no sign of the Captain, just the shuttles.

XO Kelson says:
FCO: But her presence is gone now?

Host Dresden says:
:: Raises his eyebrows as he returns her kiss ::   CO: So this form does suit you.

XO Kelson says:
:: Shakes head ::   CSO: Thank you, Lt.

OPS Chaser says:
*CMO*: Doctor-r-r, medical teams to the shuttle bay for tr-riage.

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: The computer signals that it is awaiting the proper command codes for the destruct sequence.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  It's like a door was closed.  She suddenly wasn't in range of my abilities.

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  This form is very pleasing to me.  Thank you for allowing me to see my lover once again

CMO Blade says:
*OPS*:I'll send one now.

EO McCain says:
:: Excited :: CEO: I did it sir!

XO Kelson says:
FCO: That's not a good sign...

XO Kelson says:
:: Sees computer ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Notices a blinking light on her panel ::

Host Dresden says:
:: Nods as he resumes his own appearance ::   CO: A fair exchange.

OPS Chaser says:
*CMO*: Thank you Doctor-r-r, Chaser-r-r, out.

CMO Blade says:
:: Sends a med team to the shuttle bay ::

XO Kelson says:	
All: Who accessed the destruct sequence?

FCO Horn says:
XO: I'll agree Sir.  She didn't feel injured at last contact.

CEO McGregor says:
EO: Good! Now we stand by and see what happens

CTO Horn says:
XO: Computer is asking for autodestruct authorization. Someone has activated the sequence

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: Dresden and Xenobia reappear on the bridge of the Vesuvius.

FCO Horn says:
XO: Don't look at me!   :: Looks at the CTO ::

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Blinks at the XO ::   XO: I'll run a trace through the computer sir.

CTO Horn says:
FCO/XO: Don’t look at me. I am not that stupid

CTO Horn says:
:: Looks up and sees the Captain with a stranger ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO: Status of the shuttles, Commander

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Checks a few computer routes to see where the self-destruct command came from ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Pulls phaser out and aims it at the stranger ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: Shuttles are on board and occupants are in sickbay.

Host Dresden says:
ALL: Quiet!  Your Captain is unharmed, as are the shuttles and their crew.  Just as you all are unharmed.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Bounces nervously in her chair at the yelling and the stranger ::

Host CO Royce says:
All:  It's alright....    CTO:  I'm fine...stand down, Commander

CSO Lane says:
:: Stares at Dresden ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Reaches subconsciously under her console with one hand ::

Host Dresden says:
ACTION: The trace indicates that the self destruct command originated from EO McCain's console.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Fingers her kut'luch ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Slowly puts her phaser back away, but keeps her eye on the stranger ::

Host CO Royce says:
Dresden:  I will invite you to stay with us...if you can behave yourself...and observe our Federation and our various species.

CMO Blade says:

CIV T’Lara says:
XO: I mean, Ms. McCain.

XO Kelson says:
CIV: Make a note of it in your report, Ensign.  Thank you.

CIV T’Lara says:
:: Nods ::   XO: Your welcome Sir.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Tries to raise her eyebrow at the CO and the stranger but only manages a minor twitch ::

   :: Nods :: CO : I will gladly accept your offer, this will be an excellent 
   experience.  Although, I will not promise to behave.
