ACTION> McFLY AND FALDEK ARE IN THE BREIFING ROOM WITH BREN AND ERICH GOING OVER THE UPCOMING MISSION AND THEIR ROLE IN CHECKING OUT THIS NEW WEAPON

((::sitting in the CC::))

::scanning the area::

((jokes of course))

:::Standing in front of the CC::

::is apparently in the briefing room, sitting to the right of McFly::

:: running diagnostic A through D on warp cores ::

::at TAC2, sipping his raktajino::

What do we already know of this weapon?

::In sickbay, looking over the crew roster to see who needs to schedule medical checkups soon::

So, gentlemen, you know as much as I do now. This weapon could be the deciding factor in this conflict, if it actually works. And that's where you come in.

::stares aimlessly::

:: Looking over some reports ::

:: Is sitting a Ops, doing Ops things ::

Operations in command of the ship. Hopefully, we are operating at maximum efficiency. ::klingonic chuckle::

::hands over some padds:: Early specs suggest it's using sound waves to disrupt the Changeling, uh... changing matrix. ::shrugs; looks over at Faldek:: They have a matrix right? It's like a thing that makes them change?

:: observes everything in the green, rerturns to her station at the " Pool Table "

::nothing she hasn’t already seen before::

Well I assume it's something like that. Even we technically have a matrix of some sort. I think.

I must admit, sentient biology is one of my weaker fields -- my biology specialization is veterinary medicine you might recall -- but... I'm not sure this... it's.... snorts at himself This sounds like something you'd want to involve one of our physicians for, except I'm not sure their ethics would allow it.

Well one of the doctors ethics might allow it.

::raises eyebrow:: Yeah you're probably right.

Oh? Well, that would be quite conven--- ::realizes one of them probably didn't exactly come up through Starfleet Medical:: --- Ohhhhh.

21:11

::mostly to himself:: I wonder if they ever use obsidian surgical scalpels out of a sense of irony....

I'm honestly not holding my breath for this thing. I don't know, sound waves seem weird. I would think we could just shoot them right? Shooting usually works.

::making notes on PADD about which crewmembers need reminders to schedule their physicals::

I have not had much interaction with changelings except for Odo. You really need to see his Cardassian neck trick. (edited)

Engineering Ensign> Lieutenant, I just received a replicator service request that may intrest you.....:: hands PADD to Callista ::

It makes some sense to me. Most materials have a resonant frequency. Playing it at the right intensity tends to do very bad things. It just seems so weird to think of a complex organism having one resonnant frequancy

21:14

But... I guess if on some level they are just one liquid goo....

Could it shatter them maybe?

21:15

I kind of hope it actually works. Jaffee suggested we may get to test it if it does.

I genuinely have no clue, but my gut is no. I suspect it would, uhm, liquify them? Return them to their natural state.

21:15

Liquids don't usually shatter, is the issue.

:: reads PADD and chuckles ::

:::Paces:::

::looks at KK:: You're going to wear the deck plating out.

I've been working on it for sometime now, eh?

All will be fine, I am surprised you're not in the meeting with them.

:::Hands on hips:: you and me both

So when you say test it, do we have one to test it on?

Thank you Ensign, I will get on ...:: walks over to Engineering Locker to prep a kit ::

Mr Sanchez! Wake up!

::scratches head:: Uh, I doubt it? I would be surprised if Starfleet has a changeling in custody. Maybe we get to go to the Gamma quadrant?

::is jolted awake from being called like that:: W-w-what, I am awake, sir!

Perhaps Admiral Toffee knows something we don't? Perhaps one of us is a changeling?

They did have that scare recently on Earth. I suppose it could be possible.

Five bucks says it's Faldek

:: Raised an eyebrow as his console beeped, tapping it :: Commander Kenickie, we are picking up a distress call, from 3 lightyears away.

::adds names to list on PADD for computer to send out reminders about crew physicals::

::look of doubt on his face:: While I am not in command. If I catch you sleeping on this Bridge ever again. You will wish you were you still at DS4 as the armory officer. I have worked with you too much to be throwing away opportunities like that. Do I make myself clear?

Well we have been complying with the testing procedures that Starfleet has set regarding what happened on Earth.

::is wide awake now:: Y-yes...

Sanchez get some coffee

Yes what Crewman?

Yes sir Lieutenant. ::to Pilot::

Ultrasonic perhaps.

::goes to get Sanchez an extra strong coffee in a bridge safe cup of course::

:: walks selects a repair kit and walks right over to the Engineering Beverage Replicator and selects Coffee which Promplty dispenses a Sythenol Kanar beveage ::

1

How are you Doctor?

::takes the coffee to Sanchez:: Drink this and be excellent Crewman. Qapla!

Known ship? (edited)

21:25

::walks behind Harnett::

Engineering Ensign> I take it this was meant for you ?

::::sips her coffee as well::

::accepts and drinks the coffee::

:: Looks over to Kansas :: It is a registered runabout, Commander.... and they are calling for us by name...

::looks over at Dr. Orrak:: I am doing well, Doctor. I have been reviewing crew medical records to see who is most in need of scheduling checkups.

redirect course and head their way

::moves back to TAC2:: Interesting!

Yes and Yes...and have no fear when I find the out the Name of the Station Engineer who did this...I assure you my vengeance will be remembered for a long...long time. :: finds the corrupt code and fixes it ::

1

+McFly+ Captain we have a distress call from a registered runabout... I have redirected

::taps on the helm console, setting course and engaging:: Engaging now.

+KK+ Understood. Be there in a sec.

::alerts Security to be on standby for our potential guests:: (edited)

::looks at McFly::

Alright, unless there's more questions you're dismissed. Be prepared to be let down by this thing.

::taps on TAC2, running scans as we approach::

:: closes replicator and runs diagnostic :: Obviously I need to keep my choice of beverages more discreet.

Yessir

::stands up and heads for the exit of the briefing room to enter the bridge::

::Hops up and heads for his favorite seat on the Bridge, the one with his butt groove well worn, Science-1::

::stand then walks out to the bridge:: What's going on?

Someone has earned a Tang shower :: mutters to herself ::

Distress call from 3 light years away

::sips his raktajino awaiting KK to respond to El Capitan::

Have you hailed them?

:: Taps on the Ops console, eyebrow raised ::

::to McFly:: Negative sir.

not yet

:::curious about their next mission, seeing Bren arrive from her seat at Science II::

Well, hail them.

Coffee Hot. :: test replicator ::

:Open a channel

Aye! ::taps on communications and intiates hailing the runabout::

:: Looks up from Ops :: Long range scans show the runabout is badly damaged, Captain. (edited)

:::heads back to the TAC console:::

::adds additional names to list of crewmembers to remind about their physicals::

+COM+ This is USS Manticore calling unknown runabout...please respond.

:::takes her name off Tevek's list::

((LOL!!))

Not bad...it passes. :: returns kit to inventory ::

::heads down to the XO chair::

::glances over at the runabout::

::to McFly:: No response sir.

Kasnas, trouble showing on tactical? Any other ships in the sector?

Nothing around us..... and nothing schetchie from the ship

::continues trying to hail the ship:: (whisper) Answer, we're trying to help you.

::Returns Pool table and exhales:: Thank you for following protocol Ensign. I assure you this issue will be addressed in good time. I will notify our CENG of the mischief. You may return to your additional diagnostic list.

Alright, switch us to yellow alert and keep an eye on sensors.

21:38

Sanchez, bee line us to this runabout, maximum warp. (edited)

:::Brings ship to YELLOW ALERT::

:: Eyes are glued to Ops as he Taps away, on the console ::

Aye! ::gets us to the ship faster, tappity tap::

::reviews his list of crewmembers to be reminded about physicals::

:::Scans again::

::walks over and sits in his chair next to Faldek:: Curious

::to KK:: They won't answer or maybe they can't answer?

::notices that ship has been brought to yellow alert, raises eyebrow::

:: notes the yellow alert and wonders if Erich is still in his meeting ::

Yeah, the timing is suspect. ::Sits after the Captain::

lets scan for lift signs

Aye ::scanning for life scans::

Alright stations folks..:: to engineers::...let's be ready just in case.....

::idly decides to look at sensor data for signs of cloaked ships or anything hinkie::

:: Scans from Ops as well ::

ACTION> WE COME BACK FROM A COMMERCIAL BREAK AND MANTICORE DROPS OUT OF WARP AND ARRIVES AT THE DAMAGED RUNABOUT FLOATING IN SPACE

::checks status of biobeds as part of yellow alert precautions::

::scans the area around the runabout::

::looks over the damage scans:: Oh my.

21:41

::double checking his results::

21:42

Captain, that is dominion weapons signatures on the runabout.

::snaps his head in the direction of Pilot:: Are you sure?

::nods:: Yes sir.

Red alert!

::confirms that biobeds are all functioning within normal parameters::

:: Eyes locked on his console :: Captain, I am picking up one lifesign, very faint.

::lets out an audible sigh::

::Hit the red button:: RED ALERT

Kansas, long range scans. Get me anything out of the ordinary.

Scanning now

::looks at McFly:: Are we beaming that one life sign on board?

:: Taps at his console ::

I don't know, Kasnas, seeing anything out there ready to pounce?

Scans are clear

:: notes the Red Alert Hues take over engineering :: All red alert protocols active. ...

::notices the alert status update to red, prepares closest biobed in case there is incoming wounded::

Alright, beam the lifesign directly to sickbay then reengage shields.

::nods:: I don’t see anything amiss either.

Pilot go to sickbay.

Kansas keep scanning the area.

::nods, and heads to the TL:: Sickbay.

Full scans

:: Taps his console :: I have a lock on the lifesign, Captain.

:: At the engineering station on the bridge ::

+Sickbay+ Bridge to sickbay, prepare for a patient.

21:45

Energize.

::moves from the TL and heads into Sickbay::

Well, we need to get ready.

:: Nods, tapping the console :: Energizing now.

+Bridge+ Yes, Captain. Biobed one has been prepared.

:: Taps again :: Transport complete, sir.

::entering Sickbay as the being is being beamed in::

::stands beside biobed one, awaiting incoming::

:: Awaiting the patient ::

ACTION> THE PERSON MATERIALIZES ONTO THE MAIN BIOBED. IT'S AN OLDER MAN WITH DARK GREY HAIR. HE HAS BORG ENHANCEMENTS ON HIS EYE AND ARM WITH A TUBE OR TWO FAINTLY SEEN THROUGH THE SKIN. HE DOESN'T LOOK FULLY ASSIMILATED.

:: Scanning the runabout ::

B...Borg? ::pulls his type 1 just in case::

Oh my... Is he in a pre or post assimilated state?

::raises eyebrow upon nopticing the Borg enchancements, then activates the biobed's scanners::

Doctors is that a Borg or an ex-Borg?

+EJ+ Report on our guest

::taps his comm badge:: +Bridge+ The being appears to be a borg.

::looks at initial read out on the scanners:: They do not appear to have been completely assimilated...

:::Perks::

+Bridge+ Correction, an almost assimilated Borg.

:: Eyebrow raised at the mention of Borg ::

They never stop, what caused them to stop this one?

::opens his eye; can barely move; sees Gila and Tevek; his voice is deep and scratchy:: ...McFly?

::perks up at the mention of Borg, and not of the Björn variety either:: (edited)

1

::moves closer:: What did you say?

Premission for phaser rifles Captain

You know him?

Captain McFly. I need Captain McFly.

:::continues to review biobed scanner data...pauses and raises eyebrow as the ex-Borg says the captain's name::

Granted

:::Yeesssss::

21:53

:::opens the back panel and grabs a rifle:::

::intrigued, moved away and taps his commbadge:: +Bridge+ Captain...he is asking for you.

::raises eyebrow and looks over at Faldek::

Gotta love the Borg.

1

+Pilot+ Understood. I'm on my way.

::hears Pilot's communication to Bridge, goes back to reviewing the biobed scan data::

+Bridge+ Copy.

Kansas, with me. Faldek, take the bridge.

::enters the TL with KK and rides it to Sickbay::

Karl> Aye...

::requests additional security to Sickbay::

::Looks at Annika:: Who knew the Captain had Borg friends?

:: Looks up, turning back to Faldek, eyebrow raised ::

I Didn't know you knew Borgs

I don't.

I have some Borg friends. Didn’t know the captain had some though

Security Officers> ::nods::

Hahah!

Oh my

I was going to do a Quatum Leap joke just now but it's been so long since I saw the show I can't remember what exactly happens when he finished his job and leaped somewhere else.

22:03

Anyway, TBS will be immediate.

22:03

Questions, comments?

I can't wait a week!!

1

But you must

Yes you can

I wanna know more! NOW!

22:04

Lol

Last time on Star Trek: Manticore.

22:04

I am your son. And now the continuance.

1

Next week, another Runabout sends out a distress call. It's Gila and Erich's son...

Man, this means I get knocked up

I have so much in my head about where this is going. I'm already having fun with it.

Hahaha!

Geez, haha

Kansas Kenickie

Man, this means I get knocked up

Honestly, I could see McFly carrying the child somehow magically, this is Trek

1

LOL!

I mean Trip did

Oh god

Do we know the real father though?

1

That's suggesting McFly isn't the real father.

Dr. Mory Povitch...

1

Lol

Oooo

22:06

Dr Mora Povitchsky - Ships Doctor

Nah, you just insulted the Captain, more like Mr. Jarry Spring'r

Have to log in and get my Sec Officer NPCs

in real life time I think McFly and me have been together for over 20 years

Oh my.

22:07

I didn't know and I know you outside of the sim!

Bahahaha, we used to sit in the lounge on break in college watching Mory or Jerry Springer, Oh man.

so ship baby makes Trek sense

Oh you meant in the sim?

lolol

Lt. Pilot ("E'jAi" EJ)

Oh you meant in the sim?

Yes in sim.

I've never actually met any sim people in real life.

well both of our clocks our ticking

Only one I've met is Faldek, but I've known E.J. forever

My clock has a broken spring and the battery is dead.

Captain McFly

My clock has a broken spring and the battery is dead.

Your doctor can help you with the broken spring part, there are these pills

1

22:09

You can 'Sproing!' again!

1

Known Mr Harnett since we were 12.

1

22:09

I am 35. LOL

And I'm 34...

EW, and you both gravitated to Faldek.

He is okay peoples.

22:10

LOL!

but you love me more

Haha

Alright, well if nothing else, I recommend everyone support WGA and SAG in their strike and force studios to bend to their will, because like Miles O'Brien, I support fair wages for all working people. And I swear if Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part Two is delayed I'mma throw some [beep] at some executives... DISMISSED!!! (edited)

hugs KK

::Looks at the Umbrella Corp logo, back to Pilot::
