ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>All officers and crew have reported in and are ready for duty, Sir!
Brock Dantara: Very Good, Mr Hran
Brock Dantara: MB*****
Brock Dantara: CO I sfinishing up in SB. Cmdr Hran has the bridge. Ion trail detected by CSCI. ALl Crew are at stations
Brock Dantara: ***Begin****
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>ALL>Report your current duty status.
Angelaine Kitona: ;;in Engineering monitoring all power systems and keeping the ship rnning smoothly;;
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::finishing up exam of CO::
Brock Dantara: CO> ::In SB, Getting back into uniform::
johnhooper05: OPS>AXO>OPs is green
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>XO>"All power systems green and go. Whatever power you need is at your disposal."
Mellisari: CSCI> XO> Science stations and labs secure... astrometrics tracking Ion trail, reports less diffused to port... I think the ion ship went to that direction sir
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::sitting at Helm, watching sensors and current displays:: AXO > Navigational systems showing green and ready to be deployed
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>XO>"Warp Power at full strength."
Amir Khambatti: VS+CENG> I'm gonna try and boost a little more power to the sensors. these circuits can take it.
AGrugan: CSEC>: sips her coffee as she prepares to send her men out on patrol and head to the Bridge
Brock Dantara: CO>CMO> I'm not having a heart attack, Dr.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>HELM>Work with Mellisari in tracking that ion trail, follow and engage as soon you can.
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::filling out paperwork.... had thought the CO was a human as he looked it... made a mental note to do more studying on his race:: CO> Sir? In humans your heart rate would be a sign of a pending or possible heart attack... I
Mellisari: CSCI>XO> Based on estimates of diffusion... I think it has been between three and five days since it passed this way sir
Angelaine Kitona: ;;looks at Amir;; "Acknowledged. I want all power to Warp and weapons ready to go on command."
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CMO> Jessica, You're forgetting he's Ardanan, Not human. They don't have heart attacks like Humans do. Stress, yes. Those levels can come down.
GaiasChosenChild: am asking, however, you do try to take things easy and not let things stress you out. Granted you might be a more hardy race than I am... but you are still just as susceptible to getting sick just like all of us.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CSCI>Is it possible that the ion trail will disipate soon?
Yuna Wynn: Helm > AXO > Oui, monsieur ::turn to Mellisari:: CSCI > Can you give me coordinates of where they went?
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CO,CMO> I agree, Brock. I want you to take it easy. Spend a little more time in arboretum. Play guitar with the kids like you used to.
Mellisari: CSCI>HELM> I don't have contact... but it is on course 275 Mk IV
Brock Dantara: CO>HMS> I'm having a problem with that. Bones. We'll have to talk about it later. I need to get to the bridge.
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CO> The dreams again?
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::her fingers glide over her console as CSCI gave her a course:: CSCI > that is all I need to start following
Brock Dantara: CO>HMS> The dreams, Bones. ::Heads out of SB for the TL::
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::looks at Bones and shurgs:: HMS> It's going to be like pulling teeth from an ornery tiger I guess... ::she then pauses and looks to the CO:: CO> Dreams?
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He was setting in the executive command chair, carefully watching what is going on and listening to the reports and watching the viewscreen.::
Mellisari: CSCI>::Conersationally:: HELM> Ion power is a good drive, but we have the legs of him... ion drives don't accelerate the way warp drives do
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS<CMO> He's been having recurring dreams that he was married. I can't figure out where that's coming from.
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::she nods:: CSCI > Since they are two different drives, they would have different acceleration curves
johnhooper05: OPS>::keeps an eye on sensors::
Amir Khambatti: VS>CENG> We've got plenty of power. that's one thing shis ship isn;t on short supply of.
Angelaine Kitona: ;;smiles;;CENG>VS>"That's good to know."
Brock Dantara: CO>::Enters bridge.:: >AXO> Report.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>Mellisari detected a 3-5 day old ion trail and now we are on course, tracking this trail. All departments are at their posts, otherwise nominal situation across all decks.
GaiasChosenChild: CMO>HMS> It's possible it's past life memories trying to make themselves known... or it's a vision of things to come for the CO....
Mellisari: CSCI> At this speed, we should make contact withing a few hours sir
Mellisari: AXO>
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::she nods hearing Mell:: AXO > Navigational sensors concur with that report
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CSCI>"Mel, we've managed to give additonal power to your sensors. You should be able to fine tune tham now."
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CMO> I don;t know if the dreams would be that vivid. They take place on the ship. Not like he could be dreaming a past life about that. But it may be the source of the stress. He can't stand not knowing something. That's a Captain for you.
Angelaine Kitona: them*
Mellisari: CSCI>+T+CENG> Copy, ANgelaine... expanding search perimeter now...
OnlineHost: “ShaIlan Hran” has left the room.
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::nods in understanding:: HMS> It's quite possible it's a vision of his future. I've had those kinds of dreams myself. Many people consider it a form of deja vu when they swear they've already lived that exact moment already
Brock Dantara: CO>::Takes command chair.:: >SCI> Any known races in this area that have Ion drive capabilities?
GaiasChosenChild: but those involved in the moment know it hasn't happened until just then.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO>Contact contact... I have the power source... cannot identify ship as yet... contact firming
Mellisari: CSCI>CO>No sir... no one we know has shipping lanes out here
OnlineHost: “ShaIlan Hran” has entered the room.
Angelaine Kitona: ((WB))
ShaIlan Hran: (TY)
Mellisari: Operations, bearing 273 Mk IV extreme range!
Mellisari: CSCI>OPS>
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He was sitting in the executive chair, nearby the captain, carefully watching what was going on.::
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> Continue reports as they come in. Scan for any signs of weapon signatures.
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::her fingers glade over the navigational controls, changing course to intercept:: AXO, CO > Changing course to intercept, sirs
Yuna Wynn: glide*
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Aye sir, cannot even read hull material for at least four minutes
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>HELM>Acknowledged.
Brock Dantara: ***The Polaris moves closer and scanners now indicate the trail dissipating, The ship appears to no longer be on its own power.*****
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> IOn trail dissapating sir... his drive is shut down, we may have been detected
Brock Dantara: CO>OPS> Try to hail them.
johnhooper05: OPS>::Hails them::
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"Amir, does that look like the trail was shut down or are they being towed?"
Mellisari: CSCI>+T+LAbs> Astrometrics> Labs secure for first contact.... Astrometrics, get our big eye on contact ahead... I want a relay to the main screen as soon as the Captain is ready
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::begins to slow the ship as Polars gets closer::
Amir Khambatti: VS>CENG> Hmm...Looks to me like it just stopped working or was shut off. No signs of any other ships or tractors of any kind.
Brock Dantara: ****No presponse to the hail***
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>Nothing Sir
Brock Dantara: *response, even*****
Angelaine Kitona: ;;nods;; CENG>CO>"Recommend Yellow Alert, Sir. This doesen't 'feel' right."
Brock Dantara: CO+T+CENG> Not it doesn;t. I don't want to telelgraph anything that might be interpreted as hostile, since we're dealing with an unknown. Let's get some omore data.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Acknowledged."
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>I can scan the ship life signs
Brock Dantara: *****As the come into an apprach, the ship appears to be just coasting. propulsion is down.****
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::a couple taps of her fingers to the console, bring evasives programs to standby:: CO > Evasives to standby ::she reports::
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> I can give you an image now sir
Yuna Wynn: bringing*
Brock Dantara: CO>OPS>Scan for any sign of radiation or damage.
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> Onscreen
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Transfering image to main screen
johnhooper05: OPS>::Scans for radiation or damage::
Brock Dantara: ****The ship appears on the main viewer. It appears undamaged. No life form readings detected****
Mellisari: CSCI>::Pushes contacts on the board, refining image::
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CMO> Looks like they found something out there. ::Watches the situation monitor.:: So much for stress relief.
AGrugan: CSEC>: Having arrived on the bridge, gazes intently at the image on the viewwscreen
Angelaine Kitona: ;;looks back at Amir;; CENG>VS>"Why do I have the feeling that this ship is bait?"
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Contact has a tritanium and steel hull... looking for a ppower plant now ... probably nuclear
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> Nuclear?
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> No confirmation yet sir.... she appears lightly armed... energy weapons... no torpedo tubes seen yet
Angelaine Kitona: "Amir, run a weapons and power signature scan on that ship."
Brock Dantara: ***Scans reveal no life signs, but there there is biological material on the ship***
Amir Khambatti: VS>CENG> Looks like....Old style fusion power, with a rudimentry Ion drive to power warp. Not very advanced. Armed with what looks like lasers, and merkulite rockets. They couldn't hurt us if we left the sheilds down, Angie.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"That's what worries me. This situation smells like a trap to me."
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>No life signs but I have a biological material on the ship
Brock Dantara: CO>OPS> Ok, now take us to yellow alert.
OnlineHost: “GaiasChosenChild” has left the room.
johnhooper05: OPS>::takes the ship to yellow alert::
Mellisari: CSCI>+T+LABS>SEcure for alert!
AGrugan: ((Sorry guys, I gotta go))
OnlineHost: “GaiasChosenChild” has entered the room.
AGrugan: See ya all next week
GaiasChosenChild: d**n
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> What do you make of this?
Angelaine Kitona: ;;looks up as the alert sounds;; CENG>Crew>"Ok, people, on your toes. Be ready for anycommand at a moment's notice. Begin low level powering of weapons and shields."
GaiasChosenChild: (sorry about that... lost internet for a few minutes
OnlineHost: “AGrugan” has left the room.
Brock Dantara: (NP)
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>I think that we have a primitive vessel with biological material. We could investigate, it's possible that's breaking the prime directive since apparently it's not a warp capable vessel.
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> Engineering reports it may have rudimentary warp. And they are space faring so it isn't as if another race with spaceflight is going to be a shock to them. I want to find out what happened to them. No crew, and they are
Brock Dantara: coasting in space. We need to know why. Assemble a team.
Mellisari: CSCI> CO> Scanned all subspace and NST channels sir, no telemetry from object
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>Yes, Sir. Who do you advise to take with me on this team?
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> Get a security team, and take Hooper and Amir.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>Perhaps the doctor should go as well since we have biological material there.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>OPS>+T+VS>Meet me in transporter room 1. We are going to the alien vessel to determin what the problem is over there.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Scans reveal some of his control linkages are Fluidic sir... talk about primitive
Mellisari: CSCI>::Hopes her hsuband will be very careful
johnhooper05: OPS>AXO>Yes Sir
Amir Khambatti: VS+T+AXO> On my way.
johnhooper05: OPS>::gets up::Hlem> Hlem link my station ::heads to TR 1::
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"Be careful, Amir."
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>Perhaps the doctor should go as well since we have biological material there.
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::nods at John:: Ops > Oui ::she taps a couple keys, linking Ops control with Helm::
Amir Khambatti: VS>CENG> Always. Especially since I died once on an AT. ::Laughs:: Long story.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Unable to determine if biological material is infective to our kinds sir
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> Alright. Take the Doctor.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"Save it for after you get back."
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>+T+CMO>Meet me in transporter room 1. Bring your medkit with you, we are going to the vessel that is apparently coasting in space and disable. There are reports from scanners that biological material is aboard that vessel.
johnhooper05: OPS>::arrives in TR 1::
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He then walked into transporter room 1, he stepped on to the transporter pad awhile waiting for the others to arrive.::
Amir Khambatti: VS>::Enters TR1::
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Refining scan... interior of contact... I think we have dead bodies, roughly humanoid sir... dead but not for long
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> The whole crew?
GaiasChosenChild: CMO>+T+AXO> On my way. ::puts actions to words and gathers up her medkit. Turns to Bones:: HMS> Can you monitor Mel for me? I'm keeping track of any stress she goes through to see if it will affect her pregnancy. ::Heads to TR1
GaiasChosenChild: before he replies::
Mellisari: CSCI>CO>Not even microbial life forms sir... like the interior was sterilized
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>NOIP Of course I will, And I love talking to myself....
Brock Dantara: CO+T+AXO> Shailan, Mel reports the we have corpses over there. the entire crew. Excersize extreme caution and keep everyone together.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>+T+CO>Yes, Sir, acknowledged. We are waiting for the doctor to arrive. Once she does, we'll be ready to transport to the vessel.
Brock Dantara: CO+T+AXO> Acknowledged
Amir Khambatti: VS>AT> What the hell could have happened to the crew? The ship wasn't even attacked. I hope Angie isn't right.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Sir, I've told the Transporter Chief to keep a lock on the AT as soon as they go to that ship."
Mellisari: CSCI>::Quietly fretting that her husband is putting himself in harms way again:: CO> Radiation levels internal target ship at safe levels
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>VS>OPS>Set your phasers to stun, be ready once we get over there. Hopefully the doctor can determine the cause of death to the crew.
johnhooper05: OPS>::Sets his phasers to stund::
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::was very nervous... this was nothing like past "trips"... this was going to an unknown, unoccupied vessel whose crew dissappeared seemingly without warning... she hoped to find clues as to what happened::
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::arrives in the TR showing all the signs of being nervous but firm in her job:: Ok... let's get this show on the road...
Brock Dantara: CO>+T+AXO> Energize when ready.
johnhooper05: OPS>CMO>No worries Doc I'll keep you safe
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CMO>::He nodded and then smiled to her as she arrived.:: The reports are that there are corpses on this vessel, the entire crew apparently. You are to determine what the cause of death was, and to be on the alert. Phasers on
ShaIlan Hran: stun.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> It is like a neutron blast sterilized everything ob board sir... microscanning hull for evidence of neutron device
Mellisari: detonation
ShaIlan Hran: **The AT has been transported over to the vessel on deck 3.**
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::keeping an eye on sensors, both Navigational and long range::
ShaIlan Hran: @axo>::He arrived on deck 3 of the alien vessel, he quickly pulled out a phaser and tricorder.::
johnhooper05: OPS>::appears on deck 3 pulling his phaser and tricorder he scans::
Brock Dantara: **They appear on the ship. It appears to be functional.***
GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::was so not used to transporting... body got all tingly like her foot did when it fell asleep on her... looks over to John:: OPS> I'll hold you to that...
ShaIlan Hran: @axo>CMO>Looks like we have dead bodies everywhere. ::He then pointed to one nearby. He couldn't make out the details of the species.::
Brock Dantara: ***As they begin to move, they come upon one of the dead. The body appears to have had all fluids drained from it.****
ShaIlan Hran: @axo>+T+CO>We have safely arrived on deck 3 of this vessel. We will advise you soon of the aliens aboard.
johnhooper05: @ops>CMO>what do you make of this
Brock Dantara: CO+AXO> Very well, keep me posted. Additonal security stading by.
ShaIlan Hran: @axo>+T+CO>Acknowledged, Sir. Shallan out.

Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"Amir, check out their enginneering section. Tell me what you find."
GaiasChosenChild: CMO>+T+CO> Sir... I've a body needing transporting to Sick Bay... have a security team on standby to guard it.
Amir Khambatti: VS+T+CENG> If I can, We've found something interesting as it is. Something's drained the fluid out of the crew. That's what it looks like. Yuck!
Mellisari: CSCI>::Begins a deck by deck, section by section scan of the derelict::
Brock Dantara: ****As one of the secruty team walks past a service crawlway, Something jumps out and clamps on his neck. It is about the size of a large man's fist, and looks almost like some kind of arachnid. The gurad screams as it seems to

GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::jerks her head up:: TNIP> What the hell was that!?
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He saw the arachnid come out of nowwhere and then it sank it's fangs into the security guard nearby.::
Amir Khambatti: VS>AT> It looks like some kind of spider or something! We have to get it off him!
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He quickly fire his phaser at it to knock it off and kill it at the same time.::

GaiasChosenChild: CMO> ::points to the dead spider:: OPS> Save that... I will need to make an anti-venom just in case...
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>VS>"Amir, fire drives spiders away and kills them, Tell the AT, Set phasers on full."

Brock Dantara: ***Pause***

[Fleet Captain Brock Dantara]

Brock Dantara: A crewman has been attacked by some kind of large Arachnid. We have beamed the AT back and the Crewman in SB with the Doctor McCoy, the only one who is unnafected by any kind of Venom, so we are not risking any of the crew.
Brock Dantara: We are currently awaiting a prognosis to see if our Security guard will make it.
ShaIlan Hran: ::RH::
Brock Dantara: Shailan?
ShaIlan Hran: Where is everyone at now?
ShaIlan Hran: I remember that I was leading the AT.
Brock Dantara: I was getting to that.
ShaIlan Hran: Cool.
Yuna Wynn: I'm at Helm ::AA::
Brock Dantara: The AT is back, and at staions. McCoy is in SB behind a containment field working on the Crewman.
Brock Dantara: ***Begin SIM****

Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+XO> McCoy here. I'm currently working the Crewman Voorhees. I have nothing conclusive at this time.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>The EMH states that he's working on crewman Voorhees. He says that he has nothing conclusive about his condition at this moment.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He takes a look at the executive command chair, watching the various reports coming in.::
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> Understood. >HELM Hold psition with the other ship. >OPS> See if you can localize where that ship might have been.
Mellisari: CSCI>::As she searches for a comm link frequency to the frieghter, she grumps:: Who set up this thing?

johnhooper05: OPS>CO>On oit Sir
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO>Maintain security alert on all decks. I want the civilian population in quarters. We can't be totally sure what could happen, or what those things are capable of, until McCoy finds something.
Mellisari: CSCI> AXO> This would be easier if I could get my hands on their computer... I could wear a Marined combat suit.... I think I am getting it
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> Can you access their logs from here? I don;t want anyone else going over to that ship.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> been working on it sir... making progres
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>OPS>::He nodded to the captain and then turned to Hooper.:: Enable a security alert for all decks and make an announcement for all civiliains to return to quarters.

johnhooper05: OPS>AXO>The ship is load with siders
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>OPS>::He nodded to him.:: All the better reason to eliminate the vessel.
Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+CO> Captain, that d**n thing's laid eggs inside Voorhees! I've run tests, I can;t stop them without killing him in the process!
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> I am retuning my sensor array for arachnoid life signs sir... getting a fuzzy contact
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>McCoy>"Can we seperate the eggs via a transporter beam?"
Brock Dantara: ***Some sort of static interference makes it hard to get a scan on the Arachnids.
johnhooper05: OPS>AXO>yes sir

Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+CO> Thing is, theybe embedded thamselves into his major organs. heart, Liver, Kidneys... Some kind of ganglia is growing into Voorhees' Organs. It'll most like ley kill him in the process.
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>::He then nodded to hooper and then turned to the captain.:: There is too much interferance to get a lock on the spiders. However, Hooper reports that we can get our people out.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Sir, I know what these things are. They're actually quite tasty when prepared correctly but, deadly otherwise. Total vaporization is the only way to kill them."
Brock Dantara: CO>AXO> We souldn't have anyone over there. Get them off, now! Bio filters, and they go into quarantine until they get a good bill of health.
Brock Dantara: CO>CENG> People eat these things?
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>Yes their good
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>OPS>You heard the captain. Get the people off now, hull bio-filters.
ShaIlan Hran: full*
AGrugan: CSEC>:Collapses in her cvhair when she hears about Voorhees? Dang man!
Angelaine Kitona: ;;smiles sadly;; CENG>CO>"Yeas, they do. There are a very rare and expensive delacasy. But, I'd rather eradicate them than eat them."
johnhooper05: OPS>::Locks onto two life signs and beams them out before the spiders get them::

Mellisari: CSCI>::THinking of eating spiders, she gets a little queasy::
Yuna Wynn: Helm > ::She didn't like spiders either:: CO > I say let's destroy the ship if it is being overrun by spiders
Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+CO> Captain! What happened to the crew of that ship is happening to Voorhees! The eggs are growing at an alarming rate. They're using his organs and fluids to....feed......My God! They're hatching! Coming out of him!
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"We have to beam Voorhies off this ship, now. He's no longer human."
johnhooper05: OPS>Spider wasps
Brock Dantara: CO>CSEC> I want a team in sickbay Now! If they get out somehow, I want them stopped!
AGrugan: CSEC>: Takes some of her men, gets protective gear on and headsa down to Sickbay.
Mellisari: CSCI>::Gets a lock on the arachnoid life signs on the derelict, feeds data to one of her labs::LAB> I need a specific volatile aganist this life form soonest!
Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+CO> He's dead, Brock.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Fire. Fire will kill them."
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Lab five working on a gas for the arachnoids sir... we might be able to get them off the derelict and salvage her
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Roasting is how they are cooked. It's the only way to kill them."
johnhooper05: OPS>CO> If hes tagged I can beam his body off
AGrugan: CSEC>: "Here we are, Bones!! Let's kill these little so and sos
Brock Dantara: CO> We're pretty far from home. Could this be the same species?
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>CSEC> Now just hold on before you start shooting up my sickbay!
AGrugan: CSEC>MS>: What would you suggest Doc?
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>::Watches as the spiders emerge. crawling around the area. He medscanners begin to pick up some kind of static on the spiders.::
Mellisari: Lab rat MAcGregor>+T+CSCI> Working, Commander... computer is comparing known toxins
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"d**nit, Captain. Fire is the only thing that kills them. Set them on fire!"
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>Or giant birds
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>CSEC> They're behind the containment fields. They can't hurt us from in there. The poor devil's dead. we may as well collect all the data we can. Perhaps we can prevent this in the future.
Yuna Wynn: Helm > Ops > where would be pick up any giant birds?
Brock Dantara: ***Scanners show the static feilds from the freighter are directed to SB***
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>The static fileds are direct to tthye SB
Brock Dantara: CO>+T+MS> Doctor, Angie says we have to burn them. It's the only way.
AGrugan: CSEC>: Okay, but we'll have to find a way to eradicate them. Gazes sadly at Voorhees. What a terrible way to go
Dr McCoy EMH: MH>CSEC> You;re d**ned right.
Brock Dantara: CO>OPS> What was that? How is that happening? Any potential danger in that?
Mellisari: LR MacG>+T+CSCI> We have a toxin, vapor delivery, but it is incredibly toxic to warm blooded Oxygen breathers Commander, should work
AGrugan: CSEC>He was a good guy and I considered him a friend. It;ll be tough breaking the news to his folks
johnhooper05: OPS>CO> If those spiders get on their the SB will be lost, not sure how
Angelaine Kitona: ;;leaves the bridge in disgust and heads for SB;;
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>we can fire a torpode at engineering blowing the warp core
johnhooper05: OPS>CO>their shileds are down
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>CSEC> It never gets easier, Brianna. I've worked on ships for a long time. Like an old friend used to say, "Risk is our business" And sometimes people die.
Mellisari: CSCI>CO> Lab has a posible toxin sir, but it can't be used on our ship... without protective breathing gear
Angelaine Kitona: ;;comes into SB;; "Everyboy out. There's only one way to kill them and it seems I'm the only one who can."
Brock Dantara: CO>SCI> Keep it as a last resort. >AXO> Ready torpedos.
Angelaine Kitona: *everybody

AGrugan: CSEC>: Okay people, let''s ecvacuate sickBay. let'
AGrugan: s go
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>CENG> Now hold on! You just cool your core, Commander!. And the Captain will order that action!
Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+SCI> Mellisari, are you reading the static elecricity here?
Angelaine Kitona: "Bones, I have talents in my Royal line that not everyone knows about. You want them dead or not?"
Dr McCoy EMH: MS>CENG> Just give me a few minutes, I have a theory here, and I need Mellisari's input. They're not going anywhere. Look at them, Angie, anything unusual about their movements that you see?
Mellisari: CSCI>+T+MS> Not exactly doctor, but a closely related field
Angelaine Kitona: "Bones, I know what they are. And if we don't destroy them in fifteen minutes, we never will. They're Phase spiders. That's what the static field is. They'll be able to phase through the decks if I don't stop them now."
AGrugan: ((Guys I gotta go. I have another sim))
AGrugan: ((Can someone take over?))
OnlineHost: “AGrugan” has left the room.
Dr McCoy EMH: MS+T+SCI> These little staic bursts are aimed at each other. I want you to run these as signals and see what the UT comes up with.
Mellisari: CSCI>+T+MS> Tying in Universal Translator... now!

Angelaine Kitona: ;;sits down in front of the containment field.;; CENG>ARAC1>"Can you tell us about your home?"
Mellisari: CSCI>::She has decided.. she WANTS these things off her ship::

Brock Dantara: CO>::Enters bridge::>AXO> Report. Are the coms open to them?
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1>"Sounds like a good place. We will try to take you back there so you can be home."
Mellisari: CSCI>::She runs an internal sensor scans on the arachnoids and feeds the data to the transporter subroutine, hoping it works, but does not trigger the beam::
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>ARAC1> The Captain will protect you. he gave his word
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1>"Yes. The captain keeps his word, so do we."
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>CO>The con is open if you wish to speak to them.
Brock Dantara: CO>::Nods to the AXO:: +T+ACO> This is Broick Dantara of the Federation starship Polaris. We desire no hostilities, but we cannot give you the Aracnids. We have granted them asylum.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>HMS>"Sounds like they are a gestalt. Do you get that feeling as well?"
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CENG> I don't know. They almost remind me of the Horta. We thought they were a threat until we realized they were intelligent.
Angelaine Kitona: ;;nods;; "I remember reading about that at the Academy. We make too many assumptions at times, and never try to learn more."
Brock Dantara: ACO+T+CO> How can you grant them asylum? They are animals! We eat them!
Brock Dantara: CO>+T+ACO> No, they are intelligent life. we've proven it. They are not your property. They have a right to go home and live their lives, jus like any of us.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1>"When did people start taking you from your home? How did all of this start?"
Brock Dantara: ARAC1> Many years. They send big things to catch us. We get angry. Attack them.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1>"What kind of big things, can you describe them?"
Brock Dantara: ACO+T+CO> That is insane!
Brock Dantara: ARAC1>CENG> Big things...like this...where we are. Don't have word for it
ShaIlan Hran: AXO>::He then listened close as the captained talked to the other captain.::
Dr McCoy EMH: HMS>CENG> I think he means a ship, Angie.
Mellisari: CSCI> Runs a close scan on the alien cruiser, looking for weak points in the structure and shields, relays data to TAC::
Angelaine Kitona: ;;nods;; "That would make sense. The things people do just because they can. Almost makes me want to become a vegatarian."
Brock Dantara: CO+T+ACO> I just spoke to them. They are intelligent. They want to go home. Why are they so important?
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>CO>"Sir, the conversation we are having has been recorded by the computer. Maybe you should playit back for the ship captain."
Brock Dantara: ACO+T+CO> Food sources are rare in this quadrant, they are a delicasy.
Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1>"Do you remember how long this has been going on?"
Brock Dantara: CO>ACO> then let the Federaton help you. We can help you grow new foods. And we have far better delicasies than these Arachnids.

Angelaine Kitona: CENG>ARAC1> ;;she has tears in her eyes;; "They even eat your young, don't they?"
