That should be strong enough. It must be undergoing some odd sort of deformation – lateral stress rather than longitudinal.” Jewort nodded, "Yes, weird is a good way to put it. That is the problem with dealing with this energy source. At times I don't know what Engtamn-Jensi was thinking. Harnassing this kind of power... there has to be a radical change of spaceframe, something which I'm generally accomplished at, but I just can't see it." Jewort was frustrated, that was clear. He had been working on this problem since the Dennison had rolled into spacedock for work. All his off hours had been spent here. He didn't like things not working. “Okay sir. I obviously need to catch up on some reading – I’ll do that this afternoon and this evening. With your permission sir I’ve a duty post that needs attending. I often find that thinking of other things clears the blockages a bit." "Yes yes, that's fine, " said Jewort absently, "I should leave this for awhile too. I'm supposed to be off duty. I probably should try that out for a change." The addition of Bracken had been what Jewort was hoping for. He needed someone to move his mind away from the duties at time, otherwise he'd become immersed in the Darkstar and never leave. Jewort knew, intellectually, that he would never solve the problem if he stayed immersed in it. Dale nodded in reply, then turned and left the lab, with Jewort close behind. (USS Dennison - Ten Forward - CSO - Doctor Jewort Trewe, 1440) Jewort sat down holding a steaming cup of kelp tea and drank it slowly. He looked out at the stars streaming past, lost in thought about the Dennison, Project Darkstar, and his new assistant. (Reply any who wishes to join the good scientist) (Posted by Jeff) ------ (USS Dennison - Main Engineering - ACEO, Lieutenant Nicholas Semme - 21:25) Nick looked around the Level of Engineering he was on. He wasnt ment to be off duty, but he felt like he had to prove himself to the Captain and his engineering superior. Plus he had, had plenty of sleep this morning. He had been in bed until quite late into the morning, he almost missed his lift to the Dennison. Nick wasnt too sure what he was ment to be doing exactly. But he began running normal diagnostics, and trying to Un-scramble, some of the more scrambled log. As he turned his head, he noticed the staff from Secondary engineering now coming into Main engineering. 2ndry Engineering was closing down now, nobody should be in there now. Nick did a sensor log of anybody within that Section, ~Nobody... Good~ He did the statuary checks on the systems within that section and then Shut everything down, that needed looking after by a human face. Everything was then transferred to Main engineering for the Beta Shift to work with. Most of the Secondary engineering crewmen were signing out although some of them had to stay on. To work in main engineering. Nick looked around and smiled at people as they walked past. Technically since Khran wasnt here, he was in charge of Engineering - even if he wasnt on duty, he had placed himself on the duty roster for tonight, so he wouldn't have to explain why he was there to anyone. He continued working in a private section of Engineering on the logs. But he couldnt see anyway of Un-scrambling them anymore than he could anyway. Dr. Nymes and the Captain would just have to do without for now. As it was one of his specialities, he couldnt see how anybody else would be able to go any further than he had. (Reply any/none) (Posted by Jono) ------ (USS Dennison-Science Lab 1-ACSO Dale Bracken-21:45) Dale had returned to Science Lab 1 with Trewe, hoping that after a full day away from the problem of the warp nacelles, that they could see something, anything that would assist in their quest. Sadly, as often happens, the momentum of hope and hard work, came crashing against the same insurmountable brick wall. Both Trewe, and Bracken were staring, perhaps vacantly at the molecular structure of the nacelle struts, the carbon nanotubes. So Intent were they, or perhaps they were so far elsewhere, that they hadn’t hear the Captain come in, and were only distracted by her cough. "I just came down to see how things were coming along." Dale laughed, despite their predicament, “Slow Captain, Very Slow. Damn thing just won’t hold together. You just missed it tear a hole through three entire systems though.” "Yes well, I didn't expect results overnight or anything," she said sarcatically. "I just came by to see how you were getting along with your accomadations as well as your work." “The lab is amazing Sir.” Dale waved her arm around “I’ve never seen anything half as advanced as this, and you know where I worked pre-academy. Sadly, We’ve hit a real problem here. I’m more or less up to date on my antimatter theory and advanced ship design, but these stresses…” Dale waved vaguely at seemingly random points on the molecular lattice in front of them “…are like nothing I’ve ever seen, seems the spacial distortion just doesn’t work the same way Sir…” Nodding as they explained their progress, Davis then said, "I hate to inturrupt as well...but it seems we may have an intruder or a perp onboard the Dennison." Examining their looks, she didn't have to ask the computer where they had been all day...she knew at least Trewe would have done nothing less but work his heart out on Darkstar. "Ensign Bracken I have a new job for you. I want you to work in conjunction with Dr. Nymes. Now some of what I may ask you to do may not fit completely with your job description but...I want you to take a look at the sensor logs with Lt. Maines. See if the two of you can't piece together anything. From your background in science and his engineering, the two of you may benefit from each other." “I’ll get up there ASAP Sir.” Dale looked at a nearby chronometer. “In fact sir if you excuse me, I’ll head straight there via my quarters to get a change of uniform?” Taking her leave, Dale left the Science lab, intent on heading toward Engineering, her mind still on the carbon nanotube, but the potential of a ‘spy’ on board was also preying on her. She had only been on board a short time, but it had been highly eventful already. (Reply none) (Posted by Mark) ------ (USS Dennison – Engineering, exact location unkown. ACSO Ens Dale Bracken 2211 HRS) =/\=Nymes to Bracken. I am in need of some assistance in Medical Lab 1.=/\= Dale cursed slightly, as she heard her name. She was located in the bowels of who knows where, looking at various sensor logs, on the hunt for what seemed like a phantom infiltrator. Admittedly, Dale could have simply headed up to the bridge, and took all the readings there. It seemed however, safe to assume that their ‘spy’ would have thought of that, so Dale had decided to come down to Engineering, and get the sensor readings as direct as possible. Dale tapped her commbadge, irritably. “Yes doc. I’m kind of tied up here at the moment – I’m working with Maines. I’ll be with you ASAP. Any samples for me, I’ll make time as soon as I’m done here and got a couple of hours sleep after this 18 hour day.” (Reply Nymes iyw) Dale hadn’t meant to sound so irritated. She was genuinly fond of the Doctor, and counted him as a friend, but his timing needed work. “Sorry Lewis, I’m stuck in the middle of who knows where down here in Engineering, I’ve been on duty since 0800 and things really aren’t going Dale’s way today.” (reply Nymes) Dale laughed despite her highly cramped surroundings “I’m not certain who is on duty, I didn’t read the rota before coming down here. It’ll be on the system though if you’re in a rush. I’m back on duty at 0800 if you’d rather a professional dealt with it. There’s no chance before then I’m afraid. Play your cards right though boy and I'll let you try and get me drunk." (reply Nymes) (Posted by Mark) ------ (USS Dennison – Sickbay. ACMO Ens Lewis Nymes 2212 HRS) =/\=Yes doc. I’m kind of tied up here at the moment – I’m working with Maines. I’ll be with you ASAP. Any samples for me, I’ll make time as soon as I’m done here and got a couple of hours sleep after this 18 hour day.=/\= "Understood, Ensign. Sleep is for the wicked." Nymes grinned, despite the decks between the two officers, the trill knew that Bracken would be smiling. “Sorry Lewis, I’m stuck in the middle of who knows where down here in Engineering, I’ve been on duty since 0800 and things really aren’t going Dale’s way today.” "Try getting up for a 0600 shift, Dale. I'm running on the dregs of Trill tea at the moment! Any gophers in the Science team that can look at this stuff?" =/\=I’m not certain who is on duty, I didn’t read the rota before coming down here. It’ll be on the system though if you’re in a rush. I’m back on duty at 0800 if you’d rather a professional dealt with it. There’s no chance before then I’m afraid. Play your cards right though boy and I'll let you try and get me drunk.=/\= "Try? sounds like a lazy evening to me. the Samples will be ready for 0800. See you later, Nymes out" (reply NONE) (Posted by GC) ------ (USS Dennison - Bridge - ACONN - Ensign Elenor Night AND ACEO, Lieutenant Nicholas Semme, 2310) Elenor looked around the bridge - the Ops station still the only brightly lit console in the room, but she could feel a flurry of excitement behind her, underneath her console: a skill her time on the Brilliant had given her. CPO Wallacy sat stolidly next to her, working away at the Ops panel, checking and cross-checking the logs as part of his daily, or in this case nightly, routine. "Thats.... odd." he said, under his breath, his fingers tapping the controls, searching for more data to cross reference. "Whats odd, chief?" Night asked, concerned at the CPO's uncustomary disquiet. "Security around sickbay. Been in place for the last 2 hours or so, but no Ops data request is filed." "Probably just an exercise, cheif." Night said, trying to soothe the CPO's concern. "Not in my experience, ma'am - exercises are passed into the Ops log for completeness 24 hours before they start, and some computer file resources are missing; crew biographies of the crew are hit and miss - those updated since we launched are availiable, but those who transferred later are incomplete and missing!" "Let me see that!" Night replied, not believing the NCO, and tapping commands to display her biography on the CONN terminal. [....Searching... The specified file could not be retrieved...] "Computer? Cause of failure?" [.... Record does not exist ...] "Okay chief, try and work out the problem - are there any other problems that could have caused this?" "Well, the logs show activity in Deck Three, earlier this evening; an accident or something, an emergency medical beam out? Sensors were affected in the area, I can see massive electrical activity there, it could have shorted out some of the bio/neural systems in that section, interrupting or corrupting data streams...?" "Was engineering notified?" she responded. "There was activity in Main engineering about 30 minutes later... but Secondary engineering was active at that particular time." "But you don't know who?" Elenor Night shrewdly speculated. "..But I don't know who." Wallacy finished. Night sighed. First night (hah!) on the bridge and already things were getting complicated. "Well, if I know Dr Nymes, he'll have told the Captain about his patient. Security around sickbay was probably due to that as well... but Secondary engineering? why would that be active at the moment? anyone working there?" "Not on the duty roster for today, no." Wallacy grimaced. He hated people out of their allocated positions. "I suppose we should get someone to take a look down there then." She tapped her combadge. "Ensign Night to Lt. Semme." =^=Semme here,=^= Came Semme's voice over the COMM Link, he was in main engineering and was becoming tired of being interrupted. He was trying to work, never the less trying to work when he was off duty... "We have some interesting readings from our logs regarding the Secondary engineering. Are any of your people working there?" Semme quickly checked the logs and head counts, =^=Nope, Sorry we haven't got anyone down there=^= Nick sighed, He wanted to make a good impression on his first day though, =^=But I suppose, i better go down there and Check=^= "Ok, I'll join you there." she replied, nodding at a crewman to take her position at the CONN station as she retraced the steps the Captain and doctor had taken a short time previously. "Chief, carry on working on the sensors, try to work out what happened." As the turbolift doors closed, she stated her destination. "Secondary Engineering" (reply Semme [JP]) (posted by GC And Jono (Partly)) ------ (USS Dennison - Deck 16 - Secondary Engineering - Porthells - 2334) The dark-haired human brushed her hair back with her hand, as the console screen illuminated her face, showing her the long-awaited communique from the master. =^=... and you have done well, my diathorii, very well. The target is disposed of, i take it?=^= the masked figure's voice was distorted, asexual, indeterminate. "A young officer found him as planned, the sign was evident. He died in the medical bay - at least he has by now..." =^=Good.=^= The response curt. Formulaic. "Stay out of the way for now. I have another task for you to undertake. More important..." The doors opened, sending light from the corridor into the lower level of Engineering. "Lt. Semme? Are you in here? Why are the lights out, sir?" a young ensign had walked in, oblivious to the conversation above his head. The agent turned back to the screen, her face aghast, a question forming in her mind, answered by the look on her master's face. =^=Deal with it. Your identity must remain a secret, deathorii..."=^=The screen winked out, replaced by the standard screens, the agent stood and turned to the access ladder serving the second level. "Gee. Where's the Lt. He said he'd be here by 2330..." Galway was talking to himself, walking to the blue glow of the secondary warp core. "Why'd he want to meet me in here anyway... why not main engineering?" ~And I can't go round him in time; he'll see the console's been accessed~ she thought, aware at the sound her footsteps were making on the grill above Galway's head. Galway turned to face the movement he saw in his peripheral vision. "Crewman, can i help yo....." He stopped as he saw the starfleet communications logo on the engineering console. "What's going on, crewman?" he demanded. "Nothing sir. Just working on some diagnostics in the communications systems. Lt Maines told me to run them." "Let me help you then, I am the OPS Chief." Galway grinned, always savouring the opportunity to meet and greet, and help new people. "NO! - I mean, I'm alright sir, they're all done now anyway." The crewman fidgeted as the Ops Officer approached the ladder she had descended as they spoke, and couldn't contain it any more, drawing her phaser and firing at the back of the man, missing by mere inches and striking the ladder behind the ensign. The beam reflected back, its killing power robbed by the deflection, and struck the human in the neck, sending him flying from the ladder, yards in the air, before he landed with a sickening crunch at the foot of the ladder. Panicking now, the agent fired the phaser again to destroy the console ~no time for technological trickery now, must escape!~ and left the room via the doors the ensign had, minutes ago, entered from. (USS Dennison - Deck 16 - Corridor outside 2ndry Engineering - Porthells - 2348) ~Damnit all to hell! Its all messed up now~ The agent smoothed her uniform, reholstered her phaser and walked along the corridor, deep in her panicked thoughts, paying no attention to the two senior officers as she past them, heading away from the scene of the 2nd crime as fast as her nervous legs would carry her. Passing them, she waited by the nearby jefferies tube hatch, wiating for the corridor to clear, and crawled inside, accessing the computer as she did so. "Computer, access file Porthells-Zero. Run file in secondary engineering, Authorisation Porthells-Six five Alpha." [...Program is initiated...] "Computer, initiate long range communique to "Diathoras", priority one, secure channel." [...Channel open... Secure in 5....4....3....2....1 - Channel Secure...] "Master... I must leave this place, Galway was more of a problem than anticipated; I must leave NOW before they find me... before I am lost to you." her voice was full of emotion; sobs were evident in her words. =^=Of course Diathorii, your escape is availiable. Co-ordinates Beta five three Episilon, I have a ship waiting for you...=^= "My gratitude, master..." The master's voice hardened. =^=Return to me, diathorii, and do not fail me again... there is much work to be done. End transmission.=^= Smiling, the agent knew her escape route was the only priority now, the only thing required, and she needed her ship, any ship... (reply none) (posted by GC) ------ USS Dennison - Deck 16 - Secondary Engineering Corridor - ACONN Ensign Elenor Night AND ACEO, Lieutenant Nicholas Semme - 2350) Nick pondered who this Elenor Night was he was supposed to be meeting. He had met little people since his first day on the ship was yet to be over and more had happened in that one day than two years on previous ships. He shook his head slightly to stay awake and then noticed a woman walking down the corridor. "Sir! Nice to meet you, Ensign Elenor Night." Night disposed of the pleasantries as quickly as possible. "We just received some energy spikes from Secondary engineering up in the bridge - minute changes in the distribution of power, possibly an overload in the relays, figured I'd come along to see if I could sort out the mystery, and help you out, sir!" Nick smiled, "I highly doubt it's a mystery, Ensign. Probably someone forgetting to switch the lights off." Nick said trying to make a joke. Although he realised that she was an Ensign and Ensigns usually hoped something was happening and they would find it too get a promotion. The duo rounded the corner, passing a young female crewman and approached the double door for the engineering section. Nick entered a steel locked security code and the doors opened and they entered the area without hesitation, unprepared of the scene in front of them. The lights were off, smoke hung in the air - the extraction systems had failed to operate - and the lingering smell of phaser-fire accompanied the smoke, unwelcome in the Starship. Nick smiled "I guess i was wrong about the lights then..." He said rather jokingly. Nick suspected he should inform his superior before continuing on with this investigation. He tapped his COMM Badge, "Semme to Maines, I'm in secondary engineering. Seems like one of the consoles has blown out. I'll get a team on it when i get back to main engineering, Sorry for disturbing you Sir, although i thought i should notify you of what was going on..." (Reply Maines) Night was incredulous. The lights were down, smoke obstructing the view lit from the corridor. ~Something has happened~ "What's gone on here sir?" Night asked, her playful eyes now serious, taking in the situation, drawing her phaser from her side, not taking any chances with the scene as it was. Nick noticed her raise her phaser, "Ensign withdraw that phaser, Thats an order. This is an engineering section, you fire at a wrong thing with that" He shouted, "and you could send the whole ship up in a roar of flame." Night stared at the Lieutenant. ~I'm not a scatterbrained jg ensign. I'm not looking for trouble - I've found something, when this happens people usually get hurt!~ She bit back her retort, lowering her sidearm, not holstering it. "Sir, Phasers have been discharged here, I'd advise caution." she said. "Good God," Nick muttered under his breath. "Can you see anything?" He asked her. "Yes Sir, the sparks and damage is coming from the upper level." she pointed with the phaser, "That computer terminal has been shot." Nick nodded, he was already making his way to one of the access ladders on the deck. Suddenly his whole body went rigid and the room around him got colder. "Follow me up, Miss. Night. And keep that phaser at bay unless I'm knocked backwards of this ladder." Nick said smiling once again, he found this situation quite funny. The ensign was obviously of exaggerating the whole situation... Nick found his way to the top of the ladder. The place was pitch dark, except for some sparks flighting across the room. Nick saw the outline of a person, he or she was lying on the floor. Nick's eyes widened ~Oh no...~ Night was at his side now, staring blatantly at the same object Nick was. "Computer Raise Lighting to full" Nick said as he traversed the length between him and the person. He now found himself raising a phaser from his side. He wasnt too sure where he had got it from, and had no recollection of picking one up... The lighting rose and.... Night worked her way around to the ladder leading to the upper level, stopping dead as she saw a fallen human, serious phaser burns along his uniform, exposing the singed skin underneath. Night was immobile, unable to raise a whisper, unprepared to see such a scene. Nick rushed forward it was a male human. He was unconscious and badly injured. "COMPUTER, LOCKDOWN SECONDARY ENGINEERING, ALLOW ONLY SENIOR OFFICERS TO ENTER OR LEAVE" Nick shouted, "Ensign - Check the area, find out if who ever did this is still here." Elenor hadn't moved. She stood stock still looking at the immobile human lying spreadeagled on the floor near the access ladder. Semme was talking, but Night hadn't heard him. "ENSIGN, Did you here me?" Nick heard himself shout at Night. Sound came rushing back. "Yes sir. Checking the ground floor." Night moved away, looking around the room, phaser in hand. Nick turned to check if the man was still alive. He checked his pulse, but no nothing... maybe Nick was doing it wrong. He had always been bad at this thing. He checked it again, and then put his head to the man's chest he could hear a heart beating. The man was definitely alive, but for how long Nick didnt know, or couldnt guess. He pulled his Tri-corder out and scanned the man. The tri-corder was still patched into the main engineering computer, and told him everything he needed to know. "Ensign Galway, CoO, Chief of Operations." Nick muttered to himself. He tapped his COMM Badge, "Lieutenant Semme, to Sickbay, Lieutenant Khran, Security and Lieutenant Maines Medical Emergency. We have an injured crewman in Secondary Engineering. It looks like he's been attacked. I've locked down secondary engineering with access only to senior staff. I'm about to set up a site to site transport to sickbay for Mr. Galway. I and Ensign Night will stay here until the Lockdown finishes; we both have weapons so if the attacker is still here he'll not get far..." (Reply Sickbay, Khran; Security, Maines) Nick opened another COMM Link in a hurry, "Lieutenant Semme to Captain Davis - We have an attack Sir. Secondary Engineering, i have locked down this Sector in case the Attacker is still in the vacinity. Me and Miss Night will stay here, until Security Arrive. I've arranged for Ensign Galway to be beamed to Sickbay" (Reply Davis) Nick then said: "Computer Emergency Transport for Ensign Galway, to Sickbay Immediately. Authorisation - Lieutenant Nicholas Semme, Betapie u8p9jlb009" Suddenly Galway's body disappeared into the darkness and Nick was left by himself.... (reply Sickbay, CO, any & JP#3) (posted by Jono and GC) ------ (USS Dennison - Medical Lab 1 - ACMO Ensign Lewis Nymes - 2353) Nymes looked around the lab, confident that the mystery of the dart would be solved rapidly, especially with Ensign Bracken's help, and once more the waves of fatigue swept across the young host. ~been through longer days, Gemill. Remember Whiskey on the run from the Klingons...~ Nymes smiled at the recollection, and returned his gaze to the computer screen - the autopsy scans had been thorough, and for once the computer didn't seem like it was out of date, and returning the pertinent information. =/=Sickbay to Dr Nymes=\= "Go ahead, Chief". Nymes responded to Hedge's call. =/=Medical Emergency. Casualty beamed to Sickbay, Request call teams to duty stations =\= "On my way." Nymes looked over at the other station [NRPG: Bracken may or may not be/have been/still be in the lab. I'm leaving the reply tag out, but reply Bracken iyw here] (USS Dennison - Sickbay - ACMO Ensign Lewis Nymes - 2355) Nymes rushed through the Sickbay doors followed by the afternoon shift nurses, fresh from their holodeck time. "Chief, report." "27yo Human male. Severe phaser burns to upper torso, bilateral burns to upper limbs. Starting the secondary survey." Nymes took the tricorder from the nurse's hands and resumed scanning the patient. ~Burns.~ "Start the burns treatment, cheif." "Aye, sir." Dylan rushed to collect the chemical pack for the patient, returning and starting the treatment. ~Lower limbs, 2ndry survey. broken tibia, fibula on the right hand side.... broken patella on the left...~ "He fell. Take care when moving. How's the burns?" "Going alright, Deep damage is being repaired, dermal regeneration is underway, but the burns around his heart, sir... I can't repair such damage." Nymes looked down at his patient, his face contorted with the pain of severe phaser burns, his skin charred along his neck, his breathing laboured... Almost prophetically, Nymes saw what was going to happen. ~But not again~ "Cheif, maintain the airway, give him oxygen to keep the sats high." The team worked solidly, keeping the patient alive, even if the human faded into unconciousness. The superficial burns were treated and repaired, the bones set and cellular regeneration to reknit the shards completed, but the deep burns to the organs of the thorax were too severe, too damaged to contemplate technological intervention. "Sir, We just don't have the technology to repair such damage..." Hedges said. "I understand cheif." Nymes stood back from the patient, his eyes watching him like a hawk. "I understand..."

"Sir aye sir!" Crewman screamed and fired his pulse rifle at the wave of drones pouring into the docking bay . "Nymes get these injured out of here "Ash screamed to Hologram of Doctor Nymes who was busy trying to get injured and other crew members onto a shuttle craft. "Wer ready Ash Hurry lets get out " Holographic Nymes screamed at Ash "Alright lets fall back "Ash ordered as they withdrew Ash was grabbed by a Borg drone ,Drone attempt to inject Nano probes was stopped by Ash when he twisted and broke drones arm with his Artificial Left Arm pushing the drone to the ground he noticed it was Captain Davis .

"Alright Computer end programme,Ok grab you armour and your rifles wer going hunting" Ash said and he and his team ran out of holodeck 1 ,Passing several crew members on the way who had no idea what was going on. ~Hmm Bet they all are thinking what this guys up to now~ Ash wondered when he saw puzzled look on their faces. NRPG:Jumping a few mins (USS Dennison-Deck 16-Secondary Engineering Corridor-Security Team Alpha- Ens Ash Divay -2356) Ash noticed he and his team were first to arrive.Not wanting to do anything stupid Ash decided to get permission from Lt.Khran before proceeding further but he had a change of heart. "Alright Blue Team stack up on door,Red team Cover for threats ! Computer Seal all other exits and hatch doors out of this section Security Authorisation Divay-2-4-8-9-Sierra-fox-echo-charlie "Ash said Computer accepted the command.

Ash said (Reply Khran,Semme,Any IYW) "Blue Try Door ! "Ash ordered "Door locked ! Over riding now ...Door open.!"Blue lead responded. "Blue enter break right ,Red enter break left Clear and continue"Ash ordered Both Blue and Red team's entered Turning Right and left respectively and clearing the area . "This is blue ,Right is clear ,This is Red Left Clear ." Both team leaders responded. "Ok all Hold !Cover , Lieutenant Semme,Ensign Night You up there ? "Ash shouted up (Reply Semme,Night) "Ok coming up Hold your fire."Ash screamed back. "Red Team hold this position ,Blue fall in behind me lets go up."Ash ordered as he and 3 members of his Blue team followed while other 3 of Red team stayed on the ground floor and secured that area. Coming to where Lt. Semme and Ens Night were Holding position Ash walked over to them holding his rifle in a almost ready position with 3 of his men behind him looking as much ready for war as he looked. "Hello Lieutenant ,Ensign So did i miss the party ?" Ash said trying to break a little joke but he stooped smiling when he noticed the state of shock Night was in and Semme didn't look like he was enjoying this at all. "So did anyone see our attacker ?"Ash asked quickly (reply Semme,Night) "Ok i got ground floor secured an..."Ash was stunned a bit by a loud noise of phasser fire and a small explosion he looked back and saw one of his team members lying down .Other two were taking cover . "Where did it come from ? Anyone see it ? "Ash asked as he grabbed the hand of his injured team member and pulled him towards him. "You OK ?" Ash asked him "Aye sir ! just a scratch sir !" He replied. "Hold on wer gonna get you out of here.Ok i am gonna draw fire so look for where its coming from " Ash said to everyone as he ran few meters phaser fire seems to come from corner but there was nothing there . ~Hmm Clocking device ~Thought Ash Pointing to the Injured team mate he ordered 2 of his men to carry him "Take him below and out to sickbay, me Semme and Night will provide fire cover."

One of our security team member suffered minor injury and is being taken to sickbay,We shall hold this position for now ,Divay out !" Ash closed the channel before anyone got a chance to respond. He had more important thing to do then talk on comm now. (Reply Any,Semme,Night,Senior officers) (posted Ash Divay) ------ (USS Dennison - Deck X - Secondary Engineering Corridor - ACONN Ensign Elenor Night AND ACEO, Lieutenant Nicholas Semme - 2355) Elenor's sweep of the ground floor had been fruitless. "Sir, starting the second floor sweep, ground floor is clear." =^=Ok, be as quick as you can...=^= Came Semme's voice over the COMM Link... Nick was getting anxious, the whole place just seemed eerie. She gritted her teeth as she ascended the ladder, climbing one handed to keep her phaser availiable, awaiting a red hot flash to hit her from above. She got back to her feet and surveyed the upper level - sparks flying from the upper engineering station; a mess of burnt circuitry and smashed panels - but no one there. Elenor tapped a control panel hopefully, but it was unresponsive, and beyond the ACONN's ability to repair. Turning away, she looked around the room once more, checking the jefferies tube access port; no intruder here, and returned to the lower level, back to the ACEO, back to the more senior officer. Nick watched as the Ensign decented the ladder and met back up with him. "Anything?" He asked. Night reholstered the phaser, brushing her hair out of her face with her free hand. "Nothing, sir. The Upper station is mangled - direct phaser blast, shards of glass everywhere, completely unresponsive." Night shrugged. "Is the cheif in Sickbay?" she asked rhetorically, knowing standard humanity would send him there. "The was no-one there at all... If there wasnt a phaser burn and a victim I'd say no one has been here all evening." "This doesnt seem right. Something's wrong here, There was nobody in this section earlier this evening when i locked down this section. So either internalscanners are out of alignment, or someone used some stolen authorisation codes from a senior member of staff. Still.. it doesnt explain why Galway was here" Nick said, his tone quiet and spooky now. "No idea about that, sir. The duty OPs crewman said Galway was off duty til the morning shift..." Night tapered off, as the doors to Secondary engineering clicked open from the locked state. Nick turned as the Doors opened to admit a Security group. He stood up straight "Over here, Lads" He shouted, He wondered whether Khran was with them. They were carrying Phaser Rifles....

"Ash shouted up "We're here." Elenor replied down to the Eager ASEC. "Ok coming up Hold your fire."Ash screamed back. "Red Team hold this position ,Blue fall in behind me lets go up."Ash ordered. "Hello Lieutenant ,Ensign So did i miss the party ?" Ash said trying to break a little joke but he stooped smiling when he noticed the state of shock Night was in and Semme didn't look like he was enjoying this at all. "So did anyone see our attacker ?"Ash asked quickly. "No attacker, phaser fire is about 10-20 mins old, looks like the assailant is gone, no other lifesigns around here at all." Night responded. "Ok i got ground floor secured an..."Ash stopped, stunned by a bit by a loud noise of phasser fire and a small explosion he looked back and saw one of his team members lying down. Elenor could see that the other two were taking cover . "Where did it come from ? Anyone see it ? "Ash asked as he grabbed the hand of his injured team member and pulled him towards him. "You OK ?" Ash asked him. "Aye sir ! just a scratch sir !" He replied. "Hold on we're gonna get you out of here.Ok i am gonna draw fire so look for where its coming from " Ash said to everyone as he ran few meters phaser fire seems to come from corner but there was nothing there.Pointing to the Injured team mate he ordered 2 of his men to carry him "Take him below and out to sickbay, me Semme and Night will provide fire cover." As the men ran and carried the injured team mate they came under fire but this time from a different direction ,However they managed to get below and out . "Ensign Divay to all senior officers ,I am with Lt.Semme and Ensign Night we are pinned in the upper part of Secondary Engineering by unknown number of cloaked intruders.Lower part has been secured by Security team Alpha . "One of our security team member suffered minor injury and is being taken to sickbay,We shall hold this position for now ,Divay out !" Night looked around the room again. The consoles were still spitting sparks intermittantly, electrical surges earthing to the easiest route. ~The last thing we need is a gun-ho junior Security officer blowing up half the Dennison~ "Ensign. Stand down your phasers. You'll destroy the ship if you fire rifles into the Warp Core." Night looked across at the Lieutenant and smiled for a fraction of a second, with the Lt's warning still in her mind when the two of them entered the room minutes before. (reply Semme iyw, room for more, reply Ash) Night took a tricorder from the closest workbench and rescanned the area - ~no recent phaser fire. just high levels of ionic particles, residual electrical energy.~ "Sir, ensign, the consoles are discharging randomly, theres no phaser fire, and i doubt theres cloaked people in here - Too dangerous, especially with this electrical charge in the atmosphere. I suggest we relocate to outside the engineering section, power down the area, sir?" (reply Semme) "Yes Sir. Ensign, once we are out of the section, submit a new report to your Cheif of Security."

I've arranged for Ensign Galway to bebeamed to Sickbay.=^= Davis stopped midstride, and said, "An attack?" She didn't expect a response back right away, but said, "I'm on my way to sickbay." Turning back around, she headed back to sickbay for the third time that day. (USS Dennison-Sickbay-CO Madison Davis-23:59) Watching as Nymes had worked on Galway, she gave him a few minutes before interrupting. "Doctor, how is he?" <> "If he's stable for now, I want you to assign one of your other medical personel to watch over him while we're out." Seeing the confused look on Nymes' face, she knew he would understand when she hit her commbadge and said, "Davis to all senior staff, I want everyone in the observation lounge immediatly for a staff meeting." <> Once she had gotten that out, she then turned her head towards one of the security guards that had been in sickbay for the purpose of attacking the previous victim, and said, "Johnson, I want you over here in the main area of sickbay. Make sure nothing happens to any of these people. Kensworth, you stand guard outside sickbay. No one besides medical personel and senior staff are to enter...aside from the wounded, of coarse," she added, knowing Kensworth's sense of humor. "Yes ma'am!" He acknowledged.

The security man said, the guy was making an awful racket - for a security investigation it seemed very, Un-organised and un-structured. Semme shook his head in disappointment, there was no need to come barging in.. he had already told them all the place was secure, and this man had most likely with his team had destroyed a lot of evidence that could have been recovered. Night and The man were talking he noted that both of them were Ensigns, so he was still the seniors officer there... He hoped another would turn up soon. Suddenly a bang emirated from below them and one of the security officers lay on the floor injured. Nick heard little that transpired over the next couple of minutes as the phaser fire was over loud, all he could think was he must get the Ensign from stop firing at the warp core, "Ensign, Withdraw from firing, there is nothing there and you could destroy the ship!" The half Vulcan bellowed at the man, "THATS AN ORDER" He wasnt sure if he had heard him or not so, He moved over and stepped into the Ensigns line of fire and then used a Vulcan shoulder pinch on the man. He instantly fell to the floor, as Semme did this softly however to make sure he didnt render him Un-conscious, he bent down to the man as he heard Night shout "Ensign. Stand down your phasers. You'll destroy the ship if you fire rifles into the Warp Core." Semme kneeled down to the man, "Exactly what i said, But i made it an order Ensign... Did you not hear me, over the sound of your own Ego boosting manoeuvre?" Nick said crudely at the man, he didnt take kindly to his warp core being fired at.... Yes he did already feel attached to the beautiful soft glowing core, even if he had only been there a day. (Reply Ash) "Sir, ensign, the consoles are discharging randomly, Theres no phaser fire, and i doubt Threes cloaked people in here - Too dangerous, especially with this electrical charge in the atmosphere. I suggest we relocate to outside the engineering section, power down the area, sir?" Night said as she joined them, Nick looked down at the Ensign who was now looking rather red... Whether it was from embarrassment or the heat, Nick would never know... "You see Ensign...? You nearly blew the ship 3 lightyears away, over what? Some console's blowing out, which is quite customary in this situation... The room has been severely damaged and even more so by your reckless actions... Even a lot of evidence that might have been usable might be deemed un-usable now by your teams blundering efforts to take Secondary Engineering from... nobody. If you had listened to my evaluation carefully you would be aware that there was no other presence's within the room part from me and Ensign Night over here, there was no reason to come blasting your way in. AND Even if we had found somebody else in here, we would have contacted security strait away so you knew what was going down... Maybe you should think about a logical course of action before you blunder in blowing things up for the sake of it" The human side of Nick was quite terrified of how the Vulcan side was primarily taking his bodily functions over, it was making his decisions now for him.. Nick shook his head... "As for your suggestion Ensign Night, we will vacate the area and leave it as it is. No powering down, no nothing... Not until forensic teams get down here, do someone higher than me in rank suggests otherwise... We should leave the scene however much tangled up it maybe now, how it is..." Nick looked around at the sorry mess of an engineering department and shook his head, he knew it ment him a lot of work. "Yes Sir. Ensign, once we are out of the section, submit a new report to your Chief of Security." Elenor ordered, the Ensign who still looked a little bewildered from Nicks speech. Nick nodded, "A wise and logical suggestion Miss Night... the last thing we need is another security team to come blundering in" Nick shook his head, "Follow me, and tread carefully" (Reply Ash, Night) Nick treaded a careful path through Engineering to the door, as he exited he stood back and awaited the rest of them as the door closed Nick said, "Computer Seal door," [Affirmed] Came the response, Nick turned to Ash... "You may want to inform your superior soon," Nick said shaking his head again, wondering how he would word all this in his report. He stood and waited for another Senior officer.... or someone to turn up... (Reply Ash, Night, any) (Posted by Jono) ------ USS Dennison - Deck 16 - Secondary Engineering - ATAC/SEC- Ens Ash Divay - 00:01) Ash heard something may be it was a order form Lt.Semme to do something but he couldn't hear anything clearly as the sound from his phasers where too loud . "THATS AN ORDER"Ash heard semme this time but before he could react Lt.Semme stepped into the Ensigns line of fire and then used a Vulcan shoulder pinch on Divay who fell down . Semme kneeled down to the man, "Exactly what i said, But i made it an order Ensign... Did you not hear me, over the sound of your own Ego boosting manoeuvre?" Nick said ~Ouch so this is what it feels like geezzz.~ Thought Ash as he lay paralysed for a few seconds on the floor. "Ensign. Stand down your phasers. You'll destroy the ship if you fire rifles into the Warp Core." Night told Ash and then she looked at semme and smiled as if trying to please the LT. Night took a tricorder from the closest workbench and rescanned the area , "Sir, ensign, the consoles are discharging randomly, theres no phaser fire,and i doubt theres cloaked people in here - Too dangerous, especially with this electrical charge in the atmosphere.

Ash heard Semme as he tried to sit up. Yes Sir. Ensign, once we are out of the section, submit a new report to your Chief of Security." Elenor ordered, the Ensign who still looked a little bewildered from Nicks speech. "Yea well that's my problem Ensign Night.You just worry about why spars are flying across like phasers and injuring crew." Ash shouted back at Night. Nick nodded, "A wise and logical suggestion Miss Night... the last thing we need is another security team to come blundering in" Nick shook his head, "Follow me, and tread carefully" Semme ordered Ash crawled and then finally got up on his feet picking up his rifle and started following Nick and Night out. Once outside Nick turned to Ash... "You may want to inform your superior soon," Nick said shaking his head again "Yes sir !" Ash replied .

Sleep had finally got its talons into her, at least it would have done, had the CO’s voice not torn Dale away from any promise of any sort of relaxation that night. She grabbed her uniform from the end of the bed, and pulled it on as she yelled to the replicator. “Coffee, black, very strong, temperature 50 degrees C.” Finally dressed for today’s seemingly neverending duty, she grabbed the cup, and downed the contents, leaving the empty cup in the replicator, before hurredly leaving her quarters, headed to the meeting. (USS Dennison-Observation Lounge-CO Madison Davis-00:13) "Alright people, listen up! Somewhere on this ship something's either going wrong or we have an attacker. From the evidence that was gathered previously today, it looks like the former. So, starting with engineering, what kind of new evidence have you brought to light?" Dale listened to the reports that were given, her senses fully attentive, though in a slightly odd frame of mind, the caffeine and lack of sleep were beginning to take their toll. “So here's what I want everyone to do....Lt. Trewe and Ensign Bracken...I want you to scan the ship for any anomalies, anything that looks odd, even in the slightest, let me know." Dale mentally shifted gear. She turned to the CO, and began her report. “Yes Sir, As it happens, the moment I came on board, I began a baseline scan of all sensors on board – It was because of problems that we’d had with the maglocks and also to check on primary stress points in the hull. Now, what with one thing or another, that scan is still running – It should help show us something Captain” "Doctor, keep up on the medical analysees should anything else come into view." Dale took this as a sign to relax slightly, the focus had shifted away. Ridiculously, she was still terrified of these meetings, perhaps because she hadn’t expected to be regarded as part of the senior staff for at least another few years at least. (Reply any, none) (Posted by Mark) ------ (USS Dennison - Personal Quarters - CSO - Lieutenant Jewart Trewe, 0002) Jewort groaned from under the covers when he heard the voice of his CO calling a meeting. His first instinct was natural... annoyance. Then as he began to wake-up Jewort realized that there was no way she'd call at this hour unless there was something important to be calling about... unless she was insane, and the jury was still out on that one. Jewort quickly rose from bed, cleaned up and then dressed. Grabbing a PADD, he headed out the door and to the meeting. (USS Dennison - Observation Lounge - CSO - Lieutenant Jewart Trewe, 0009) Jewort sat and looked around the table at the young 'uns scattered around it. They looked nervous and Jewort couldn't help to wonder why. He had done his best to keep away from the majority of them, they seemed to just bounce around from one crisis and difficulty to another without thinking before they acted. That, in and of itself, annoyed Jewort. Looking at the Andorian across the table from him he just shook his head slowly, knowing that he would pick up on the body language, one veteran to another. Finally, the Captain joined them and Jewort sat back and listened to the strange exchange that followed. Finally, he held up his hand. "Excuse me, but as someone who has NO IDEA at all what's going on, can I get a few more details here? What exactly is the problem?" (Reply any at meeting) (Posted by Jeff) ------ (USS Dennison-Observation Lounge-ACONN Elenor NIght-00:08) "Lt.

Elenor looked up, her place at the meeting in no doubt now, and she responded to the Captain's request. "Whatever is needed, Captain. I am on duty on the bridge for the remainder of the Night, and I'm willing to take over as many of the Lieutenant's duties as required." She smiled at the room, easily realising that she was the most awake officer at the table. (reply Xara Lea, any) "Now...sorry for the inturruption. I want everyone at their sharpest so I suggest getting some sleep. Dismissed!" The captain left the room, and Elenor followed. (USS Dennison - Bridge - ACONN Ensign Elenor Night - 0010) Elenor stepped out onto the bridge, took a look around and stepped towards the CONN panel, relieving the crewman who had stepped in for her as she left for engineering. "Cheif," she asked, as she sat down. "Start a thorough search of the Operations databases prior to the last medical emergency being called in. I'm interested in locations from where the computer commands were made, status of commlinks, etc." "Aye ma'am." Wallacy replied. "The search is in progress, will take an hour to process locations." "Alright. Night to Semme." (reply Semme iyw) "I have started a search of the Ops database regarding the incidents in the last hours. the bridge search will take an hour to process.

If it is the ship is at great danger, from an attack on any of our major systems" Nick finished. (reply Bashir) After hearing from them, the Captain then turned to Nymes and said, "What does sickbay have?" "Since early evening Sickbay has been busy with these cases. Sigursson unfortunately was too badly injured in the first incident, and I am sad to report that the crewman didn't make it." Nymes looked around at the table, guaging reactions before continuing. "After that, I started on an autopsy as ordered, and located a micro dart "Splinter" that was used to introduce cardiac dysrhythmic agents into the crewman's system. The cause of death being confirmed, and the head injury being, probably, a secondary effect of the "cover-up" discharge energy. "Just 25 minutes ago, I was alerted to a second medical emergency, this time Ensign Galway, transported from Secondary Engineering, presenting with acute, severe phaser burns to the upper torso and neck. He is stable at the moment, but the deep tissue damage will require treatment at a Starbase hospital to regenerate the affected organs. I must withdraw Ensign Galway's fitness for service, and recommend that you nominate a new CoOPS." Nymes looked at the Captain, his expression severe, and fell into silence.

Undoubtedly everyone else was as well. But first, she had a little security matter to take care of. Someone abaord her ship was about to be nailed by her...and she just couldn't wait to see who it was she was going to look in the eye. "Excuse me, but as someone who has NO IDEA at all what's going on, can I get a few more details here? What exactly is the problem?" Snorting, she said, "That is the question, isn't it? So far today it seems that log files at Ops has been reportedly messed with, we get a John Doe in sickbay with deadly wounds, Galway was just discovered in engineering with phaser burns...." Stopping, she realized she wasn't making any sense to herself. How could she make sense to the rest of them? ~Stop your rambling,~ she told herself. "Someone...or something...is making it's way around this ship. We don't have much evidence to go on just yet but...if you ask me, it seems to be focused on the the ops/engineering sections of duty. I've increased security to engineering and sickbay, as an attempt on Galway's life may be at stake. The security will stay in place while we figure out just exactly what or who we're fighting." Looking around the room, she could see the blank expressions on people's faces, wondering just what they were supposed to be looking for, nonetheless. Madison wondered that herself...but soon something would turn up, it always did. Suddenly, she realized that Maines wasn't sitting at the table with the rest of them. Furrowing her brow, she tapped her commbadge and said, "Davis to Lt. Maines." Nothing. "Davis to Lt. Maines, please respond." Again...nothing. "Computer, locate Lt. Maines." Davis shifted uncomfortably as she awaited the computer's response. [Lt. Maines is located in jeffries tube 6, section 4.] Looking at Lt. Khran, she said, "Lieutenant," and nodded her head towards the doors, indicating she wanted Lt. Khran to check on Maines. "Alright...Lt. Semme, I want you to update Ensign Bashir with the programs you're running to uncover these logs...if we're able to at all. Until we hear from Lt. Maines, I'm temporarily putting Lt. Semme in charge of engineering. The two of you are to work together on this." <> Now listening to Nymes, he said, "Just 25 minutes ago, I was alerted to a second medical emergency, this time Ensign Galway, transported from Secondary Engineering, presenting with acute, severe phaser burns to the upper torso and neck.

I must withdraw Ensign Galway's fitness for service, and recommend that you nominate a new CoOPS." Sighing, Madison's temper flare was steadily increasing. They had no idea what the hell was going on, therefore it would be impossible to set up any defense forces with any certainty. "Lt. Lea...in light of the new situation, I will be temporarily making you in charge of Ops, as well as Ensign Night to take over some extra duty shifts, if you're willing?" <> Taking a deep breath, she continued, "We all seem to be at wits end on what's going on around here. So here's what I want everyone to do....Lt. Trewe and Ensign Bracken...I want you to scan the ship for any anomolies, anything that looks odd, even in the slightest, let me know." <> "Doctor, keep up on the medical analysees should anything else come into view." <> "Ensign Divay...while you're still under the command of Lt.

"See if anyone might give you any leads." <> "Now...sorry for the inturruption. I want everyone at their sharpest so I suggest getting some sleep." Noticing they looked like they needed it, she knew she did as well. "Dismissed!"

Where was his superior? "That is the question, isn't it? So far today it seems that log files at Ops has been reportedly messed with, we get a John Doe in sickbay with deadly wounds, Galway was just discovered in engineering with phaser burns...." The CO's sudden burst of emotion was stopped when she apparently figured out her public display of emotion was getting her no where. "Someone...or something...is making it's way around this ship.

I've increased security to engineering and sickbay, as an attempt on Galway's life may be at stake. The security will stay in place while we figure out just exactly what or who we're fighting." She said, re-composing herself. Suddenly it seemed she figured that Maines wasnt there. When he didnt answer her COMM Call she got the computer to find him, ~Jeffries Tube? Oh dear...~ Nick thought.

He now hoped Maines would turn up soon, so he could just continue being ACEO for a while before being put in charge of a group of people he didnt know.

They reached a small row of emergency lockers, and the three of them looked through every single one of them. Khran looked at the two other men and they shook their heads. Khran nodded and they continued down. On other decks all the way down the ship, other similar teams were searching the ship for any signs of Lt. Maines. They walked for another five minutes when they reached a Jefferies Tube hatch, "Cover us," Khran said to the younger of the two guards, who nodded and stood watch outside the hatch while Khran and the other guard climbed in and began crawling through the tunnels. (USS Dennison - Jefferies Tube - TAC/SC - Lt. Khran - 0024) After crawling for what seemed like hours, they had searched almost all of the Jefferies Tubing for this deck, and no sign of Maines. They reached a small access room, with access tunnels branching off several different directions. Also here was small service hatch, covering some systems. Khran and the other officer climbed out and stood against the wall for a few moments, catching their breath, then the other officer started to move to open the last tunnel to get back and move to another deck, but Khran whistled, and nodded to the hatch. Khran reached down and entered his security code into a small keypad next to the hatch, and he heard it unlock, and he reached down and opened the hatch. "Oh GOD!" the officer shouted, and Khran could relate. Stuffed into the small service compartment was Maines, or at least his body. His skin was burned badly, has if he was tortured with a phaser. Khran grabbed one side of Maines' shoulder and said, "Lieutenant Maines, can you hear me?", but there was no reply. "I think... I think he's dead, sir" Ensign Jenkins said, he was covering his mouth and acting like he was going to vomit. "Get it together Ensign!" Khran said, annoyed, "Humans," he muttered under his breath. He took off his comm badge and placed it on Maines' body. Then he stood up and quickly yanked Jenkins' off his uniform and placed it on his own and tapped it. "Khran to sickbay, beam my comm badge to Sickbay, its a medical emergency. I'll be in shortly. Khran out," he said. A few seconds later, they watched has Maines' body dematerialized and shimmered away.

Maines wasn't instantly recognisable. Nymes scanned the human, identifying the man by his DNA. "Chief, new priority in patient - Get this man stabilised. Severe phaser burns, lower limbs, torso and neck." "Aye doctor." Hedges bustled off to the replicator to reproduce more medical supplies, in order to treat the newest patient. Nymes checked Maines again. His pulse was weak but present, his face mutilated by the burns, and he was struggling to breathe.

(reply Khran iyw) "In response to your first question, sir, Lt Maines, like Ensign Galway, is stable but sedated (for now). He has suffered severe, close range phaser burns to the torso and neck. From my survey, my initial belief is that the CEO was shot twice - once in the leg, from behind, and second in the chest as he turned round... he has injured his face probably as he fell from the impact; I doubt he saw his attacker - his eyes are injured." (reply Khran) "Yes sir. Ensign Galway remains stable but unconcious. I will have to keep him sedated until we reach a starbase for further treatment."

"With 3 incidents in the recent hours, I think its best if i get the call teams in to ease the workload on the night shift." Khran didn't say anything, but nodded carefully. "In response to your first question, sir, Lt Maines, like Ensign Galway, is stable but sedated (for now). He has suffered severe, close range phaser burns to the torso and neck. From my survey, my initial belief is that the CEO was shot twice - once in the leg, from behind, and second in the chest as he turned round... he has injured his face probably as he fell from the impact; I doubt he saw his attacker - his eyes are injured." The ACMO explained. "Ensign Galway is still alive and ok then?" Khran asked. He liked Ensign Galway, and was supposed to have a holodeck simulation with him at some future date. "Yes sir. Ensign Galway remains stable but unconscious. I will have to keep him sedated until we reach a starbase for further treatment." "These victims would have considerable evidence to-" Khran started to say, but was cut off by the the ACMO. "Lieutenant. This is My Sickbay. The people in this room require the best possible care. I will NOT allow that privileged to be rescinded just to satisfy your curiosity as to whether my patients saw or didn't see their attackers. I have allowed, indeed recommended, Security teams to be placed outside the room, and you have my assurance that you will be notified as soon as either of the men regain consciousness." he said. Khran frowned, "Very well. I will have a security detail placed outside Sickbay, but I expect to be notified right away. Excuse me, doctor," Khran said. He nodded to Nymes and showed himself out and tapped his comm badge. "Khran to the Security Center," he said. =/\= Aye, sir. Lt. Johnstone here. =/\= "Lieutenant, please send a security detail to Sickbay. Guard duty," he said. =/\= Sir, we're stretched thin sir, the on-duty-... =/\= Johnstone started to explained. "Then start calling the off-duty officers, damn it! Just get a full detail to Sickbay. Go yourself if you have to. Khran out," he said, very angry. He entered the turbolift and headed to Main Engineering. (reply none, any) (Posted by Kevin Schram) ------ (USS Dennison - Corridor - TAC/SC - Lt.

Khran stopped and turned, Semme walked up to him and said in a quiet voice, "Any news on Lt. Maines? We could really do with his help." he said. "He has been found, seriously injured but alive. Ensign Nymes will alert me once he wakes up, and when my security staff and I are done with him I can see if Mr. Nymes can clear him for duty, is that acceptable?" Khran asked. (reply Semme) "Now, I'm quiet busy and I trust you are the same, excuse me, Lieutenant," he said to Semme. (reply Semme) NRPG: Fast forwards a few minutes when Khran is talking to Divay.

With whoever it was roaming about her ship, it would be hard for her to fall asleep tonight. Sighing, she rose from the chair she sat in and headed towards her bedroom when her commbadge chirped. =^=Khran to Captain Davis.=^= "Davis here," she answered, half sighing as she did so. =^=I have located Lt. Maines, he was badly assaulted and... placed in an engineering compartment in Deck 4. I had him transported to Sickbay,=^= he said. "Make sure security stays around sickbay, and if need be increase in engineering since that's where the problems seem to be focused. Have Dr. Nymes give me a full report in the morning." =^=Yes, sir, Khran out,=^= he said. Anger once again surfacing, she made a fist as if to punch her wall, but didn't. She wanted to very badly. How was she supposed to catch up in helping fight this damn war if she couldn't even find the person who was responsible for all of what was going on? Then it hit her...~Perhaps this person could be working for Doenitz? Undercover...~ Madison knew she had recently picked up a few crewmembers off of a nearby Starbase. They could easily have been undercover and....her thoughts running wildly, she anger soon faded and she let a small faded smile run across her lips. If this is what he had under his sleeves, he would have to do a lot better than this to scare her and her crew off his trail. All the while she thought, she jumped in the shower, got ready for bed, and was soon quickly asleep as the help of her thoughts flooded her mind with possibilities.

Charles said pointing out times and routines being displayed on his console, Nick looked at the console and nodded. "Go on" The Vulcan urged, "But here's the strange part sir," Charles hit a few keys on his console bringing up a listing of Comm signals and locations. "I ran a check on the computer on the times that don't match and 1 hour before and after to make sure, and I found this" Charles froze the screen on one time period in the computers look up. Nick looked down at the console and then looked back at the ACEO. "There was a Comm signal found by the computer heading towards secondary engineering but it suddenly changed several times then just vanished all together" Charles looked to Semme hoping he might have some sort of explanation. "Well, Ensign. It looks like you've come across something here." Nick paused for a moment, and then moved onto the controls of the console. "If you dont mind Ensign, i have a higher clearance code than you at the moment... I'm going to try and Un-scramble these COMM Signals. "Charles. If you dont mind me calling you that. Could you head over to that console over there and begin a scan of secondary engineering, i want to know which Console was the one which received this COMM Call." Nick said, not taking his eye of the console he was working on. "Yes Sir. I don't Mind Sir. Ill get right on it." Charles said trying to get things in the right order. "Right.." Nick muttered, "Lets get this..." The COMM Signal was encrypted, so he had to extract it word by word. It was gonna take a while, but after 5 minutes he had de-crypted all of the parts of the COMM Communication than he could... "Ensign, lets have a look shall we." Nick said over to Bashier. "One moment Sir," Charles hit the controls going through all records he could coming up almost completely blank on the search for which consol had the comm link. getting a basic idea from a subroutine Charles locked his consol and moved to Semme. Semme watched Bashier walk over and then once he had he activated the un-crypted Communiqué. =^=BZTTTTTTTTTT BSTTTTTTTTTTTTT=^= Came over the link. "Damn" Nick said, his human half surfacing. "Hang on, im going to skip ahead a little bit" Nick tapped a button and then tapped another one. =^=BZZZZTTTTTT.... GooBZZT.........StaBZZZTout BZZZZTT the way BZZZT now.

Unless you found which panel the Communication came through on?" "About that sir there weren't any cleared logs or anything just this encrypted comm. And from all the stations I can check I didn't find anything, I think its safe to assume the comm came through on the destroyed console in secondary engineering. the thing that bothers me sir is till here the person doing this was really careful but on this they seem to have been rushed or not concerned." Charles said looking at Semme The distinct Vulcan intrigue and Human satisfaction coming across his face all at once. "Sir if you don't mind me speculating, I think that either our injured man the Chief OP's officer might have walked in on our perp, either once he or she was done or he interrupted them." Either way I think its safe to assume that either the perp is looking for a way off or will try get somewhere to finish what they have started. Sir I would recommend either locking down all search material we have found so far and possibly locking down all sub systems to officers only scheduled to work on those systems?" Charles said getting a little worried about the current turn of events. (Reply Semme) "Right lets get down to Secondary Engineering. We can tell the others about the Communiqué when we have more to report." Nick said.. He headed towards the exit of Main Engineering.. "But sir shouldn't we at least get the shuttle bays locked down and possibly warn the captain about what we do have?" Charles said his Academy training running in overdrive as he walked with Semme. (Reply Semme) (Posted by Gareth ) ------ (USS Dennison - Corridor - TAC/SC - Lt. Khran - 00.41) The tall blue-skinned security chief strolled past engineering, only to see Lt. Semme and an Ensign run out and past him. This whole situation had annoyed him, and because of the previous assaults, he now carried a phaser rifle, strapped around his back. He came to an intersection and stopped and looked around, when the coast was clear, he stopped and tapped his comm badge. "Lt. Khran to Divay," he said.

Charles said, The Vulcan sensed abit of worried concernety from the Ensign. "An Excellent suggestion Ensign. Although Speculation is not to be preferred over pure fact. I myself dont like speculating, unless i have pure fact to speculate with.. However your suggestions will be put into action immediately." Nick walked over to one of the consoles to his side and said "Computer Lock down all search material on Case 'intrusion, secondary engineering'....

"Crewman Porthells reporting for duty, sir." Porthells said. "Apologies for my tardiness, Lt. Had to fix my replicator's database, the computer seems a bit haywire today." Nick raised an eyebrow at her. And then looked her up and down, it didnt like she was fixing a replicator database... More like running around in a fire, chasing a cat. "Very well crewman. Infact i may have something for you to do. You will come with Me and Ensign Bashier... I'll give you more details as we get there" Nick said, in an authoritative tone. He headed for the door. "Lets go." (Reply Bashier, Porthells) As Nick left Main Engineering he noticed Khran walk by... His memory suddenly jogged back to the previous meeting. "Lieutenant," Nick almost shouted at Khran.

"Now, I'm quiet busy and I trust you are the same, excuse me, Lieutenant," Khran said, Nick nodded, "Of course" Nick turned to Bashier and Porthells. "Now come on you two, we have work to do." And with that he headed for Secondary Engineering. (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering, Acting CEO, Lieutenant Nicholas Semme - 00.50) Nick entered Secondary Engineering, "Porthells, begin clearing out that wreckage over there."

See if you can find any trace of that Communiqué." Nick said turning to Bashier, (Reply Bashier) Nick headed over to the Second level where they had found Galway. He began searching the consoles up here, most of them were still in contact but there was one which was severely damaged. He made his way over to that one, determined that this one would be the one. He began using the console that wasnt as badly damaged to access the damaged consoles files. They were so distorted, Nick quickly used a backdoor key into the system. Access, Nick smiled. He began sifting through the information when he came across what he needed. He transferred the data to the PADD which contained the parts of the message he recorded from Main Engineering, and then began applying the numeric sequence and decryption codes he got from that console... ...Nothing... ~Dammit~ "Ensign Bashier, I've determined which Console was used" Nick shouted. (Reply Bashier) Nick watched as Bashier came up to the second level, "I need to you to continue work on it and see if you can get anymore from it... Report anything you find too ME!" Nick said.

(reply Divay, iyw) Khran walked down a few yards to the turbolift and got in. "Bridge," he said, and the turbolift started its journey to Deck 1. (USS Dennison - Main Bridge - TAC/SC - Lt. Khran - 00.48) Khran strolled out of the lift and went to the Security console and entered a few commands and started a ship-wide sweep for any unauthorized weapons. ~ Whoever was doing this was most likely using Starfleet weapons that had been cleared to be onboard, ~ Khran though. Suddenly, something caught his eye. In the shuttlebay, the Topaz-class shuttle. ~I wonder if...~ Khran started, but was interrupted. =/\= Lieutenant Semme to Captain Davis and Lieutenant Khran, i would like to meet with you both...

Porthell's looked away, taking a few strides away from the three officers in the corridor, reasserting control over her facial muscles, lest they betrayed her involvement. "Now come on you two, we have work to do." Porthells nodded. ~Right you are sir~ She let them take a few steps forward ~Right you are~ (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering - Porthells- 00.51) Porthells face was stern as the half Human, half Vulcan officer ordered her to clear the wreckage from the computer malfunction she had activated earlier. It was the work of a moment to clear a path to the nearest terminal, to access the record files to double check any active protocols, to make sure that any sensor logs were not traced back to her, but to her "fall guy" she had chosen for her escape. "Ensign, I need you to check the consoles down here? See if you can find any trace of that Communiqué." Nick said turning to Bashier, Porthells nodded to the new ACEO and smiled, moving the debris from the panels and moving away from the ensign to the engineering security locker. She checked the phaser storage access logs, knowing that even her modified clearance codes would not work here... but her hacked codes would be sufficient for the time being. Touching the door locks, she entered the encrypted code. [NRPG: WHO will it be?] (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering - Weapons Storage Locker - Porthells - 00.54) The doors slid open, and she stowed the phaser in the reclamation recycler, activating it with the same codes, replacing her phaser at her side with a new one. (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering - Porthells- 00.57) Exiting the store, she smiled at her cover now. ~My DNA is all over the room, but I'm working on the clean up.

"Lieutenant. I've recovered a trace PADD-only communication from someone in here to the CoO 13 minutes before the attack... but I..."Porthells tapered off, afraid that her performance may become to melodramatic if she presupposed too much to the halfbreed. She was aware that someone had entered the room, but she was still "shocked" from her discovery... Instead, she left the file trace running, leaving the bio picture open, letting the smiling face of the young ACSO beam out into the engineering room, the timestamps on her location displayed alongside her information.

Ele concluded, her tone sombre, well aware that the night shift on the bridge would have heard her communication with the Captain. (reply Davis, Any) (Posted by: GC) ------ (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering - TAC/SC - Lt. Khran - 00.55) Khran was standing with Semme when they saw Ensign Divay enter and walk over to them. "Excuse me, sir. May I have a word with you in private, sir?" Divay asked. Khran looked at Semme, then back at Divay. "Of course, Ensign," he said, before followed Divay a few steps away. If the Captain arrived now, he would have to leave, though. "Sir there is a crew member missing, Ensign Juni Yamato is missing.I wanted to ask her a few questions but when i tried to use internal sensors to locate her she is nowhere to be found." "Did you run a diagnostic on the internal sensors?" Khran asked. "Yes sir Internal Scanners are at operating at 100%.I checked them," Divay said. "Very well. This may be the forth person missing then. Organize two security teams and began a deck-by-deck search, like we did for Lt. Maines. Seal off all Jefferies Tubes except for Engineering and Security staff," Khran instructed. (reply Divay) "Carry on, Ensign," Khran said, before walking back to Semme. "Another crewmember is missing. Ensign Yamato, one of your engineering officers," he said. (reply Semme, any, Divay) (Posted by Kevin Schram) ------ (USS Dennison - Secondary Engineering - ATAC/SEC - Ensign Ash Divay- 00.57) "Very well. This may be the forth person missing then. Organize two security teams and began a deck-by-deck search, like we did for Lt.Maines. Seal off all Jefferies Tubes except for Engineering and Security staff," Khran instructed. "Aye sir,Sir i need permission to search Yamato's quarters?"Ash said (reply Khran) ~Wait a minute the crewman in the Ten Forward told me Yamato was talking to a unknown security officer before i discovered that she is missing.~Thought Ash "Aye sir" Ash responded and he ran out of the Secondary Engineering. ~Ok lets just first organise a team and a plan.~Thought Ash as he exited the Engineering. He tapped his comm badge "Ensign Divay to Security team Bravo and Charlie ,Please report to Deck 12" Divay commanded =/\=This is Security Team Bravo roger that Sir.=/\= =/\=Security Team Charlie we are on our way sir.=/\= Divay walked to the turbo lift "Deck 12" He commanded as the lift started Divay wondered ~Weather it was a good idea to start from centre of the ship.~ (USS Dennison - Deck 12 -Corridor- ATAC/SEC - Ens.Ash Divay- 00.59) It was deck 12 Ens Ash Divay got out and waited for the two 10 men each security teams to arrive. [NRPG: Jumping 2 mins] Both security teams assembled in the corridor which was now completely packed with 10 personnel each of Rapid Action security teams,They are always ready to deal with anything. "Alright people! Here's the deal .There is another crewman missing,Ensign(JG) Juni Yamato and engineering officer has gone missing ,She was last spotted in Ten Forward with a Security officer. So we have been asked to locate Ensign Yamato .So we are gonna search this ship deck by deck inch by inch. I want her found Bravo Team Start in Deck -11 and work your way up Charlie team start here and work your way down. Contact me after finishing each deck and seal all the Hatch and jeffries tube as you pass and clear them.However use caution don't draw you weapons until under attack .Any questions ?"Divay Asked "No Sir"He heard all say . "very well Carry on."Divay ordered. Charlie Team drew a plan on their pad and proceeded to RCS Thruster Ports as the Primary Engineering was off limits . Bravo team entered the turbo lift and proceeded to Deck 11 to start their search there. Ash decided to search Ensign Yamatos quarters on deck 8. He too entered the Turbo lift after all the Bravo team had gone through. "Deck 8" Divay said. [NRPG Jumping 1 mins] (USS Dennison - Deck 8 -Ens Yamato's Quarters- ATAC/SEC - Ens.Ash Divay- 01.03) Ash had entered a dark room , it had a smell of food that had been kept out for few hours. "Computer lights" Ash said and the room was lit up. Ash saw a dinner plate with uneaten dinner still on it,As Ash walked a few steps forward his foot hit a glass lying on the floor.It had been dropped there. Ash got down to pick it up he touched the floor where the glass was lying it was not wet but it did smell like wine. ~So She was going to have her dinner when someone came to the door. She must have gone to see who that someone was but they must have got her.~ Thought Ash Ash looked around he saw a Padd molten by phasser fire. ~If there was phaser fire in this room internal sensors should have detected it.~Wondered Ash "Computer What is the status of Internal Sensors in this room."Ash asked "Internal Sensors are offline."Computer responded. Remembering that that can only be done with Security officers code ,"Computer who authorised the sensor to be made offline." "Ensign Rick Powers" Computer respond. "Computer Reactivate sensors in this room Authorization Divay-2-4-8-9-Sierra-Fox-Echo-Charlie"Divay said to which computer Beeped and Activated the internal sensors in that room. "Computer what is the location of Ensign Rick Powers" Divay asked "Ensign Powers is in Chief Tactical Officer's office on deck 7"Computer responded Divay had a worried look on his face.He hurried out and ran to the turbolift. "Ensign Divay to Security,Intruder in Chief Tactical Officer's office ,Lock it down and hold anyone inside." Divay said tapping his come badge as he was entering the turbolift. (Reply Any.None) (Posted Ash Divay) ------ USS Dennison-Sickbay-ACMO Lewis Nymes-01:00) Nymes stretched backwards on his chair, yawning as he read the latest status reports on his patient: hedges had done a good job, and Galway was surviving; but in order to recover, he would need to be transferred to a Starbase hospital as soon as possible. The trill searched the database at his desk, any of the three nearest starbases would suffice, and Geneva seemed the logical starbase for a rendezvous. The computer blinked - a new message was waiting for the doctor, declaring itself a middle priority message from Starfleet Command, a designation given to transfer orders sent to a recieving ship. Yawning once again, Nymes opened the message, and read the bio of the transferring officer. "Ensign JG Marigold Potton" Nymes muttered, as he scanned the biography. " A Doctor and a Counsellor." Nymes looked around his office again, taking in the shelves of medical notes still to be read, the Duty PADD rosters outstanding for his sign off, and finally, the gaping hole in the wall protected by forcefields, which, had he been on Trill, be called a window. Nymes finished reading the biography, and a thought struck him. Perhaps his new colleague would be able to help him in the current state of affairs. ~and she is off-ship, so the information couldnt be interfered with...~ "Computer, open a channel to Ensign Marigold Potton, secure. Authorisation Nymes-Delta-Four-Zero" [...Channel Established.... Secured....] Nymes waited for the Communication symbol to wink into life, displaying the moving picture of the biograpghy he had just been reading. "Ensign Potton, Dr Nymes here, from the Dennison. I hear you will be joining us shortly, and I wondered if I could get your help while you are en route...?" (reply Potton [NRPG: Assuming yes]) "Thank you!" Nymes gave a fatigued smile. "Its been a long day here. But to business - do you have any experience with criminological psychology? We have had a few... incidents, and a new perspective may help us get to the bottom of them." Nymes paused, letting his words sink in. (reply Potton, any) (posted by GC) ------ (USS Dennison - Sickbay - ACMO - Ensign j.g. Lewis Nymes - 0144) Nymes sat in thought following the conclusion of his communication withthe transferring Counsellor. ~So many things depend on each action thats taken. The crew could fall apart before we even get to our mission... The current timeline crew against the future... at least~ and it was small comfort for the trill ~ At least the attacker has been indescriminate in his targets... or her targets.~ Nymes stood and walked to the main section of the Sickbay, noting any changes in his patients' situations. There were none. Galway remained sedated, Maines sleeping ~or is it unconcious?~ Nymes checked the biobed readings, and was satisfied with the care his Night staff had been giving, and nodded to the senior nurse in the room, Dylan Hedges. "Just checking up, chief." "Aye, sir. But I would suggest you call it a day, Doc." Hedges replied. In answer, Nymes yawned hugely, and just nodded at the human Triage chief, returned to his office to collect his PADDs and walked out of Sickbay. (USS Dennison - Nymes' Quarters - ACMO Ensign Lewis Nymes - 0202) Nymes plonked the PADDs on his desk and tapped a control on his desk's console. "Computer, Start recording, ACMO's Log, Supplemental. "Further to my original log, It is my duty to record some sad news. Crewman Alexander Sigursson did not recover from his injuries, and has died. Following the Captain's orders, a post mortem examination was instigated, and a Splinter Microdart recovered, suggesting a close range attack that delivered cardiac-acting drugs causing death in the crewman. This has been reported to the CO, & the Chief of Security Lt Khran, who have started a murder investigation into this incident. "Later on in the day, at approximately 2348 hours, Chief of Operations Ensign Galway was attacked in secondary engineering, and was transported to Sickbay with severe phaser burns. He has been stabilised thanks to the efforts of the Dennison's entire Medical team, especially Triage Chief PO Hedges. "More recently, the third medical emergency has been admitted, CEO Maines, with similar injuries to Ryan Maines, severe phaser burns. "Security has been placed around Sickbay to prevent attacks on those recuperating in sickbay "It is my belief that both CoOPs Galway and CEO Maines require further medical and rehabilitation treatment at a starbase immediately, and I have used my authority to relieve Galway of his station. I will wait to see if Maines' condition improves overnight before making a decision on his fitness for duty. "End supplemental, encode and file in the ship's database, and my personal database." Nymes sighed, walked to the replicator for a drink before he passed out - a nice Trill iced tea. Thirst quenched, he looked over his personal messages. ~Hudson!~ Nymes' colleague at the Academy had sent him a letter, Nymes tapped a control to enable playback. "Is this thing on?" Hudson's voice said, before it was joined by his entire face. "Hey Lew, how's things? I'm just dropping you a line to make sure you havent dented the Topaz, Aberole is going nuts that his pride and joy is on active duty; you'd think he designed it." Nymes chuckled, and watched the playback continue. "Anyway, I thought you'd enjoy this file that I'm sending you - as should Ele. Send her my best, k, Gemill? Hudson out" ~sure thing~ Nymes took one look at the filename before he laughed long and loud, the first light relief in the day. [... File: Holodeck Programme: The Jazz Inn, Holographic recreational Programme (Musical, Interactive)...] Finishing he drink, Nymes strolled to his bed, lay on top of the covers, activated his alarm for 0745, and drifted off into sleep.
