USS Manticore - Mondays 10 ET - Command Staff: (CO) Captain McFly, (XO) Kansas Kenickie

Between 6/30/2025 9:04 PM and 6/30/2025 10:20 PM

U.S.S. MANTICORE BRIEFING #1318 STARDATE 52506.30

Manticore has been asked to investigate a spontaneous gaseous anomaly. Upon closer inspection, it appears the particle structure is quite complex raising the need for further study. However, many of the crew have suddenly become ill and the ship is malfunctioning. Chief Jaenke has discovered the cause of the malfunctions and it's the new bio-neural gel packs that are the culprit, having become sick just like the crew. Meanwhile, Doctor Tevek has realized the severity of the virus. But not only that, it seems to be targeting the crew! Most troubling of all, Commander Faliver has shown the virus to be man made. But hope has dawned as Lt. Cmdr Sorenson has discovered the cetacean crew are seemingly immune to the virus! With little time left, Sorenson has sent over the isolated genome sequence to Tevek in the hopes he's able to adapt a cure fit for humanoids.

TBS was immediate.

I hope the medics get the medicine out in time...

I had no doubt. ::wheezes a little::

::looks at Harnett:: I am going to throw some ploomeek at you!

Let's see if the hoomans live to see another day.

::coughs:: Never wake a warrior who is in slumber!

::looks over the cetacean data on the medical lab computer while also keeping an eye on KK's status::

:: Looks back at E.J. :: No thank you, that is too bland..

Otherwise, one of us will need to learn to drive this thing.

If you're ... gonna throw things... Throw them at ... Karl.

Yes... do that

::looks for something to throw::

::Give Faldek the finger::

1

+Medical+ I am unsure what I should do.

::looks at Karl::

9:09 PM

Karl!

if push comes to shove I can maintain ship functions here at my console, however we need authorization.

Very...unprofessional... Karl

::wheezing:: as my... final act as... living captain... can I order karl... to be spaced?

Sick or not! He is the XO!

:::O2 levels drop::

Boy, do it again... ::deep breath:: I'll break it off.

You're going to get a report on your record!

I will...personally throw him... in the air lock if you do, Captain...

::Fingers EJ::

::looks at Harnett surprised::

::looks at EJ concerning McFly's order:: Make it ... so.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

::takes a deep wheezy breath:: Make it--make ::hard coughing fit:: ...What he said.

Karl, get the f**k out! Now! ::coughs heavily::

::continues to go over the DNA structure of the potential antitote::

((He's like that kid on South Park who kept giving everyone the finger LMAO))

How will we know if the Captain is still able to command the ship ...Perhaps he has already succumbed to the disease and we do not know it?

:: Gets up from his seat, but sinks back into it :: No...no.... too dizzy...

::inches his way out of the lounge::

2

::still wrapped up like a Carcassian burrito, leans over to the straw in his water and sips::

Pretty sure we would have heard from the grapevine of his unfortunate demise.

::looks at McFly then to Faldek:: Remind me to take care of him later. (edited)

:: Lifts his glass and takes a sip ::

9:12 PM

That is... if there is a...later...

::Plops ontp the CO chair::

There will be a later.

:::Flat lines again:: __

((KK, no!!!))

+Jaenke+ My apologies, Chief. I have been trying to find a medical team I can dispatch to your location. There has been a lot going on in sickbay.

Alright I will continue to monitor ship critical functions.. but if the ship begins to show signs of mechanical distress I must advise more action taken on our part..

Agreed, let me know if anything changes. For now, business as usual.

::coughs:: I apologize for Karl's behavior. ::sneezes::

+Sickbay+ Understood.

::cough and then sneezes::

:: moves as fast as her sick body can to Kansas Kenickie ::

::hears the alarms at KK's bed and rushes...well, walks as fast as he can while sick..to her bedside::

You should...:: Coughs :: have thrown him out he door...

I didn't want to get up, I am comfy.

9:15 PM

::sips his water::

:: prepares Cardio Stimulators ::

I'm comfier.

You...are wrapped up like a..baby...

We are losing her. Doctor...signs of Kidney failure as well....

::snickers::

Don't be ... mad that you ... didn't think of it ... first.

captain Knox

::to Nurse Mallory:: I do not understand why the standard kidney treatment was not effective. It must be something unique to this virus. We need to get this cure...

9:17 PM

::looks to see if the cardio stimulators are ready:: (edited)

Captain looks like he is comfiest.

Cardio Stimulators ready Doctor!!!

I am already comfortable...

::takes the cardio stimulators and applies them to KK::

+Captain+ Jaenke here. I may not be able to help a great deal. Is anyone coming?

Death beds are... quite comfy.

:::body jumps, no responce::

::looks at McFly:: Well then I will have to kill Karl in Stovokor.

::barely raises his hand to tap his comm badge::

We're not gonna die.

:: Finishes his water ::

Drink your water Thomas.

Captain McFly to Jaenke

No one's coming, unless they stumble on us.

Recharged!!!

I would say there is a high possibility of death... Faldek

::takes a seat and reclines::

Don't you dare give us that Vulcan logical possibilit...::sneezes::

::nods to Nurse Mallory and applies the recharged cardio stimulators to KK with a slightly increased power setting::

::Body jumps, pulse returners:::

possibilities stuff now!

Shush ... I didn't survive ... this long just to ... get taken out by ... a bioweapon.

:: Coughs ::

Karl is probably out there stinking up our chairs.

9:21 PM

And another thing, why isn't he sick!?

Or sniffing them... probably sniffing ... the seat portion.

::coughs::

Faint Response..

:::takes a deep breath::

::breathes deeply, hopes the doctors can find a cure:: We've done all we can..

::Hobbles around main Science, prepping various pieces of equipment, in hope against hope::

:::Kidnedies still failing::

::watches as KK's pulse and breathing return; looks at biobed readout::

If I was not so....off balance... I would go to engineering to lend a hand...

Doctor we may have take care of her kidney functions using.. :: insert Medical Technobabble here ::

:: Is glad Violet is with his parents ::

::pokes arm console and fires into nubula::

2

:: Raises an eyebrow :: Did we just fire weapons?

::hears weapons fire:: What the ...

::looks at Harnett:: I beg your ...

::fires again::

Karl...

::takes a deep breath::

Pilot, go ... get him!

::stands up::

9:26 PM

::moves towards the door::

:: Takes a deep breath and gets up :: I will go with you...

::Fires a few more times::

::to Nurse Mallory:: Monitor her kidney condition and treat it the best you can. Call me if her vitals flatline again. I am going to focus on getting a cure. I think that is the best hope for her...and all of us.

:: Moves towards the door, obviously a little dizzy ::

::steps out as the door opens:: Computer, disable weapons, Authorization Pilot Alpha 2.

Understood Doctor... :: covers her mouth and begins a coughing fit for a few seconds ::

You'd think... special ops... would be made up of... more professional... people.

:: Stops, waiting for the computer to do something insane ::

::walks to medical lab computer to see what progress it has made on using the cetacean data to create a humanoid cure for the virus::

::pokes fire buttom again::

2

Karl stop firing the weapons!

KILL HIM!!!

:: recharges cardio stimulators just in case ::

catch me

Karl, you don't want me to catch you.

::fires again:: no I don't

::needs to tap into that ole Klingon strength::

:: Takes a deep breath :: Karl, stand down.

Karl, stop firing that is an order!

:: looks at Kansas Kenickie's blood work noting things are in bad shape ...::

ok

SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE CAN ONLY BE INITIATED BY A RANKING SENIOR OFFICER

Damn it... ::unwraps himself and stands up, slowly walking to the door::

See what you almost made me do.

Computer ... belay that.

Odd...I detect our weapons system is being used to fire in the nebula...

((I was late. That was in response to Pilots computer command

))

:: Stops :: Okay, no more ordering the computer to do anything!

Now take your ass in the lounge and behave.

Do the hoomans think shooting the nebula will kill the virus?

That is also a order.

::looks over the computer's analysis of the cetacean info; makes some adjustments to the parameters that he hopes will speed up the process::

I don't know. We simply do not know.

I am not moving.......... I don't think I can

Karl, what's wrong?

One of us... will carry you then...

Maybe it's the virus making them do these weird things. Their poor brains.

My legs are jelly

Stand up.

:: looks at Kansas, noting this woman with such a fierce reputation is on the verge of dying do to the tiniest of organisms ::

We simply must analyze this bio-weapon in much greater detail. Hmm, my fins are tingling.

(w) If he falls I will believe him.

::hovers finger over the fire button::

:: makes a fist :: Karl....

If their brains are to be called into question Sven, I again strongly suggest we take command of the ship.

If you fire one more ... you are going to brig. And no Kansas cannot save you.

she picked me

::leaning against the doorway between the bridge and observation lounge::

Hmm , let's keep an eye on the bIidge transmissions.

Come on Kenickie, hold on. The Doctor is working on a cure. :: not certain if she is right but as a nurse she has to be positive ::

I think the CO and XO are still conscious and competent for now.

::looks at the computer screen and notes that the computer has completed it's analysis and has a calculation for a potential cure; runs a quick simulation of it::

Out of the Senior Staff I am the most lively of the sickly. I don't give a damn if she picked you. You will go to the brig, if you fire another.

::breathing louder than normal::

Do not test my patience, Mister!

:: Looks over to Faldek, his Vulcan hearing picking up the louder breathing :: Faldek, are you... :: coughs a few times :: alright??

::Smirks::

::Wakes up, bleary-eyed, on the floor of the main Science room::

9:36 PM

That... I didn't.... hm.

::watches the computers simulation of the potential cures affect on the virus in humanoids...it appears to be working...::

hmm?

:: has to sit down on a chair next to Kenickie, the bolian nurse is feeling very weak ....::

Now get up.

::slowly walks over to the medkit on the lounge table and finds another hypo, loads a sedative phial into it and puts it in his pocket, then moves back to the doorway, wheezing::

:::Breathing weaking::

( With a good lawyer, Karl is going to be just fine after this sickness...)

I'm fine-ish. (edited)

::Stands up::

You do not sound....fine-ish....

::decides he has seen enough of the simulations; begins preparing several doses of the potential cure in the medical lab::

::shakes his head::

Bren Faliver to Annika

Just... checking in. I think I was momentary down with the sickness. How are the Cets?

Perhaps running on ... 40% lung capa...city.

;;Pokes the console to move the ship he hopes:: (edited)

+Bridge+ Cet OPS to the bridge.. are you still alive? Did shooting the nebula fix the virus? Seriously, I do hope our DNA is of use in finding a cure for you...

+Sven+ CET OPS standby.

::exits med lab and walks to over to KK's biobed::

:: notes a dropping respiratory rate, and prepares oxygen for Kansas ::

9:40 PM

Respiration is failing Doctor.....

Karl, your legs appear to be fine. Lounge now.

That is it.... :: Reaches over and nerve pinches Karl ::

::Walks then drops::

:: Looks at E.J. ::

+Sven+ CET OPs, that firing was unintentional. Please disregard we have corrected the issue. Commander Pilot out.

Well, they're alive.

::to Nurse Mallory:: I have replicated a potential cure. I think it is logical if we adminster it Commander Kenicke now.

::shakes his head again::

Drag him in ... here and put him ... on the couch ... in the back.

For the love of Kahless.

Thank the maker...Nonetheless I will continue to configure my station to substitute for Main Engineerign

Why not... just... leave him... where he's... at?

I don't... trust him.

::McFly:: You know exactly why, sir.

This has to work..she will not survive much more of this

::applies hypospray to KK::

:: Grabs Karl by the leg and drags him slowly towards the observation lounge ::

And what Commander Faldek said..

Isn't he... unconcious now?

9:42 PM

# KANSAS DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE CURE

He could wake... up.

Yes, that would be good. I'll do the same, with other systems for the other terminals.

::Rug burn on the chin::

::grabs his other leg and helps move him::

Well then... pinch him... harder

I have a better ... idea.

I can always...do that...sir... or just punch him..

You may kill him in your current state Thomas.

:: Drags Karl past the door into the lounge ::

::Snoorns::

Stop.

::stops::

::Stops::

::watches Kansas unchanging vitals in confusion:: Nurse Mallory...administer the oxygen as you were preparing to...

::gives Karl a hypo sedative:: Now sleep ... well you sniffy weirdo.

Yes Doctor, :: places an Oxygen mask on Kansas ::

Continue on.

::drags with Harnett to the couch::

::Continues dragging Karl to the couch at the back of the lounge ::

I...sincerely apologize for his behavior. He will be given a refresher on everything.

::heads back to the medical lab in a state of confusion::

:: Dumps Karl on the couch and heads back to his seat at the table ::

Why is he... even... here?

::slowly meanders back to his seat, trying to reassume his Cardassian burrito, but the blanky is all wonky now and he looks sad::

That's one way to do it.

::starts the computer on another course of analysis of the cetacean data::

It is your ship... I cannot answer why he is here...

::moves back to his seat:: He's good when he's good. And bad when he is bad.

::almost looks defeated::

::begins cleaning up the doses he had prepared of the ineffective cure::

::Drools::

9:47 PM

# ON TEVEK'S ANAYSIS SCREEN THE COMPUTER DECIDES TO SHOW 1988 WRESTLEMANIA 3 MATCH OF HULK HOGAN VS ANDRE THE GIANT IN IT ENTIRETY

::looks at Faldek:: You need help with burrito?

((Awesome match))

Captain McFly

Why is he... even... here?

( son or grandson of a Starfleet Admiral or Federation Council Member )

I have wanted to nerve pinch him since my first day on the Manticore-A...

((You know I bet he is a nepo baby))

2

:: Set the status board into audio mode, but it's a slow process ::

::looks at the computer screen:: In other cirumstances...::coughs:: this might be fascinating...

(ooh classic match)

:::02 levels drop::

::begins cleaning up several doses he had prepared of the inffective cure::

No.

+ Chief Jaenke + Lieutenant Banks to Chief Jaenke, Sir I have configured the Engineering Station in CetOPS to handle Ship wide systems if necessary.

Just offering. I know that took a lot out of you.

::sneezes powerfully and his hand slips...and he ends up injecting one of the infected gelpacks he was studying with the ineffective cure::

::Wakes up on the floor again, in a puddle of blood from a smashed nose:: Ououughhhhhh!

9:50 PM

# THE GEL PACK RETURNS TO ITS ILLUSTRIOUS LIGHT BLUE GLOW

2

((ooo))

::looks at the gelpack and raises an eyebrow; scans the pack with his tricorder (since the computer is showing wrestling)::

I hope they fix this soon.

9:51 PM

And us...

I could use a break...

::looks at the readout on his tricorder, confirming the visual cues that the gelpack is in the process of being cured::

Take a load off. ::to Harnett::

9:52 PM

We'll all take turns being in command ::chuckles::

:: sits down next to Kansas again.....she feels like she is burning up....she rests...looking at Kansas ' biobed readings ::

::coughs::

Computer... play my ... 21st century ... pop music playlist.

Beran!

+COM+ Tevek to McFly.

NO!

::doesn't want to get spaced::

::Grabs ahold of the edge of the desk :: This could be... the end...

We're fine.

THE COMPUTER BEGINS TO PLAY ALL DISNEY SONGS REIMAGINED IN KLINGON

:: Feeling dizzy at the table ::

9:54 PM

What?

Not fine.

Is that Klingon?

:: Raises an eyebrow :: What in the...hell?

::looks up:: Not Disney again!

Captain McFly to Tevek

McFly... here.

Oh well.

:: hears strange music :: What is the Pacific is that?

It sounds like someone's torturing a cat

3

::shakes his head and lowers his head on the desk like Worf in Nemesis::

This...is terrible...

It doesn't ... sound that ... bad.

+McFly+ There has been a positive development, Captain. I have determined how to cure the virus in the ship's bioneural gelpacks. Unfortunately, it is not yet effective in humanoids.

Fix the ship, fix the damn ship!

9:57 PM

::klingonic growl::

::perks up:: Then we ... can fly to ... a medical base!

I'll put the coordinates in myself!

Captain McFly to Tevek

::gets excited but is too wheezy:: That's fantastic-- ::hard cough:: How soon until... we can spread it... around the ship?

And Karl will be remanded to station Security until we can beat him properly, I mean refresh him.

::looks at Pilot:: Do you have ... a grade 6... rating?

I do...

::looks at Faldek:: Harnett does.

I know ... he does.

Cdr. Faldek

::looks at Pilot:: Do you have ... a grade 6... rating?

((Is that reading level? What is that?)) (edited)

(( Pilot rating ))

(( what?))

1

Captain McFly

((Is that reading level? What is that?)) (edited)

((it was mentioned in an episode of DS9, grade 6 is high warp large interstellar starship piloting))

+McFly+ I do not think it would take long for the entire computer system to be cured, although I am a doctor and not a computer scientist. I am still focused on finding a humanoid cure. Perhaps sciences or engineering or opertions could focus on curing the remaining biopacks.

( of course those that exploded...well....they are done for ))

In the past, not today though. Didn't think I'd have to fly the ole girl.

( I must depart thanks guys! )

I had to have it for testing trials at the shipyard...

((later Sierra))

Captain McFly to Tevek

I'll have everyone... get on it. Start with... all the gel packs... in sickbay. Hopefully... the computer systems... will be able... to work better... and help find... the cure.

We'll get you ... re-certified.

+McFly+ Understood, Captain. I will take care of the gel packs in sickbay personally.

::nods:: Aye.

10:04 PM

Karl probably has it too.

Captain McFly to Bren

Commander... Doctor Tevek... has found a cure... for the gel packs. He'll send over the data... let's get as many... made as we can... and fix the ship.

10:06 PM

Captain McFly to Jaenke

Commander... how many crew... do you have left? Tevek has a cure... for the gel packs.

::grabs some more of the hypos with the gelpack cure and opens the access panel to the sickbay lab computer and begins administering it to the gelpacks in there::

10:06 PM

# AS SOON AS TEVEK HYPOS A COUPLE OF THE GEL PACKS THE COMPUTER SWITCHES THE WRESTLING MATCH BACK TO HIS PREVIOUS ANAYLSIS SCREEN

::coughs::

Bren Faliver to McFly

Captain, the devices are ready... I'm pretty sure. Once we have the data I'll get hypo vials synthesizing

::sneezes hard...sharts:: Oh no, not another uniform!!!

1

::coughs::

::closes the computer access panel and looks at the computer monitor; nods when he notices it is no longer showing wrestling::

I really should go... :: Coughs :: help with the gel packs....

That would be a big help... if you can.

If you're up to it.

::sends data on the gelpack cure to the science lab, main engineering, and the operations station on the bridge::

If it had ... a motorised wheelchair...

Captain McFly to Bren

Ackowledged... I'll get you... as much help... as I can find.

::wraps himself in the blanket::

:: Gets up from his chair, almost falling over, but steadying himself with the edge of the table :: I can do it...

::Wakes up, jaw hurting, hearing the beeping of incoming data. Must've only been out long enough to hit the console::

((Bren is gonna need plastic surgery from all these injuries.))

::tappity-tap-tap:: And away we go.... ::starts the synthesizing::

;::02 levels even off::

::heads out of the medical lab into main sickbay to treat the gelpacks in the computer systems there::

Questions or comments?

Why karl so mean?

Kansas?

mean or fair

I mean, he isn't now... he's asleep

lol!

10:13 PM

Karl is just naughty boy, firing weapons and wasting ammo.

10:13 PM

Tsk tsk.

is a jerk for a reason

Can we space Karl?

10:13 PM

Pleaaaaaaaaase

1

Not yet.

10:13 PM

He has to do something egregious.

Hey, I'll drag him to the air lock

lol

Is Karl KK's brother?

Firing weapons blindly without being ordered to do so isn't egregious enough?

1

10:14 PM

Space him, space him, space him!

1

grrrr

❤️

He was wasting ammo and didn't kill anything.

Karl is not KK brother

I was prepared to space him but was stopped.

:: notes that down::

Captain McFly

I was prepared to space him but was stopped.

I said to make it so lol

He did say to make it so

If he shoots the command staff. Then we can space him.

10:15 PM

Unless I get to him first.

If he shoots us, we are dead

::southpark impression:: Oh my god, he's coming right for us....

I said to make it so also and no one did.

I wasn't there

You're in the silly mode.

Well, we still could, he is just drooling on the couch

We'll get him corrected and he will become a model citizen.

Well Faldek has a very very bad case of pneumonia, can't be spacing people when you can't breathe.

Are you taking that responsibility, Pilot?

that sounds about right EJ

Cdr. Faldek

Well Faldek has a very very bad case of pneumonia, can't be spacing people when you can't breathe.

Delegate

Hm.

10:17 PM

We'll see when he wakes up.

Alright, anything else?

::Burps::

If nothing, then everyone line up to give Karl a swift kick in the ass on your way out... DISMISSED!!! (edited)

::waves::

lol goodnight!

Goodnight and good week all yall

Bye everybody!

nite everyone lets hope I live
