Stardate: 2406.11.12 (USS Spectre-Bridge- CMO - Williams-00.24) "Not really, just running some scans on an anomaly we picked up." ~this might be interesting~ "do you know what it might be?" "Just some shuttle that may or may not be following us. Cadet Smith over here thought he picked up a shuttle. Except a second afterwards it was gone. So to be on the safe side we are going to be scanning for the next two hours." Andrew nodded. "that sounds like a good idea." "As you see nothing too fascinating. But if your not busy for the next couple of hours, I could always use another officer on the bridge." Andrew grinned. "yes of course. I would be glad to stay. I've got a few things to read but just give me a yell if you want a hand." As will turned back to the Cadet Andrew wandered over to one of the bridge chairs. he fished out a PADD from the arm rest. ~back to the radiation problem~ he sighed taking a swig of his half cold caffeine. (reply, any) (posted by Robbie) (USS Spectre, Ten forward - CONN - Lok 1439) Andrew entered at a run. he saw Lok lying on the floor beside a table. with tow strides he was over to him. he dropped down beside him. "Lok can you hear me. Its Andrew you are going to be okay." "Andr.......My.........ughhh" he grabbed a tricorder from medkit and scanned him quickly. ~it looks like Anaphylaxis his blood pressure is dropping~ "Okay Lok you are having an anaphylactic reaction. I'm going to give you some to ease it." he grabbed a hypospray from the medical kit and emptied its contents into his neck. he opened Lok's mouth wide to look at his tongue. ~that looks normal~ he felt Lok's throat but it was the right sise. he finally slid Lok's sleeve up to reveal the site of the inoculation. he could see small black and blue circle and the whole area was discolored. ~ow crap this is going to be a problem~ "okay Lok I'm going to take you back to Sickbay for further treatment." "Wha........? Help me" "Andrew two transporter room two, two to be transported directly to sickbay." he felt the transporter beam grip him and the room fade away. (posted by Chris) (USS Spectre, Sickbay, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 14.43) Remae had been alerted to the medical emergency and he had made his way from the Bridge to Sickbay to see what was happening. He entered the room to see Doctor Williams treating one of the new arrivals, Ensign Lok. He observed for a moment before Williams came away to speak to him. "Doctor, what happened?" (Reply from Williams) "I see.", said Remae, finding out that the Ferengi was allergic to the anti-radiation treatment, "We'll be at our destination within 3 hours, Doctor. Can you devise someway to protect him?", asked Remae still concerned about the proximity of the Class Y Star and the Spectre's imminent arrival. If the cloak failed and the Spectre was close to the star with her shields down, Remae knew that it wouldn't only be the ship that would melt and boil away into space, in just a matter of seconds, the crew would too! (Reply from Williams) "Doctor, are you going to complete the inoculation of the crew within 3 hours?", asked Remae already knowing the answer but he had to ask. (Reply from Williams) "Keep me informed.", said Remae as he left the Sickbay. (posted by Tony) (USS Spectre, Bridge, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 14.45) Remae returned to the Bridge and put his hand up at the barrage of questions that came from the Bridge crew, "Ensign Lok is going to be fine, he's just allergic to the treatment we've been delivering to the crew.", he said sitting down at his chair. "Mr Banowsky, you'd better get a replacement up here to take the CONN before we get too close to the star.", said Remae as he continued to watch the stars flash past. (posted by Tony) (USS Spectre, Sickbay - CONN- Lok 1445) Andrew looked down at Lok on the bio-bed. he double check Lok's vital signs. they were returning to normal. "Okay Lok. I want you to open your eyes for me. your in sickbay. your okay." "mmmmmm Ok" Lok opened his eyes slowly. It was painful and he felt the tremendous headache he had experienced earlier fading. Light flooded into his eyes and he was forced to squint and then eventually cover them. "You'll be okay. you had an allergic reaction to the inoculation that I gave you." "Oh....was that what it was? I thought the replicator tried to kill me. I probably missed my duty didn't I?" Lok rose out of the bed stiffly "Take it easy. don't get up to fast. I don't want you back on duty right away. okay relax I'll let you go as soon as you ready." "Thanks Doc" Lok slumped back against the cushioned bed and rested hoping he would be healed soon. The computer beeped at Andrew and he picked up the PADD. "By the look of the results Lok we are going to have a problem. it says here that you have a reaction to all the anti-radiation medication that we have on board. this means that if the shields fail you will get very sick fast." Lok gulped and opened his eyes. He listened intently for good news, but the doctor had stopped talking. He sat up again quickly. "Wait do you mean there is no help for me? Will I die?" Andrew put a reassuring hand on Lok's shoulder. "don't worry Lok. as the old human saying goes there is more then one way to skin a cat. I'll go and talk to the medical team and the Captain. well figure some thing out." " Thanks a million Doc. I just hope your right." The brief moment of panic had finally caught up with him and Lok felt light headed he slowly lay back down and drifted to sleep. ~Perhaps they will find a cure when I wake~ (posted by Chris) (USS Spectre-Bridge-Ensign Will Banowsky-14.46) Will was working at a secondary OPS station when Captain Remae returned to the bridge after seeing about the status of Ensign Lok. "Ensign Lok is going to be fine, he's just allergic to the treatment we've been delivering to the crew.", Remae said sitting down at his chair. "Mr Banowsky, you'd better get a replacement up here to take the CONN before we get too close to the star." "Aye sir," Will said as he headed for the helm, "I'll replace him myself." Once Will was seated he tapped his commbadge. "Petty Officer Ramirez, I want you to report for bridge duty at 16.00 hours. Ensign Lok has fallen ill and wont be able to be on duty at that time." =^=Yes sir,=^= came the reply, as Will got back to work. (posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Spectre, Sickbay, CMO, Williams- 14.48) Andrew saw Remae enter sickbay. he nodded to Remae and crossed over to him. "Doctor, what happened?" "it appears Captain that Mr Lok is allergic to the anti-radiation treatment that I gave him. he is also allergic to all the anti-radiation treatment that we have on board at this time." "I see.", said Remae "We'll be at our destination within 3 hours, Doctor. Can you devise someway to protect him?", Andrew thought for a moment before replying. "Captain the only things that I can suggest is that we keep him in the middle of the ship to reduce the amounts of radiation that he might get. We could also give him a SEWG suit. although it is bulky, the SEWG should be tough enough to protect time from the radiation for a short time at least." "Doctor, are you going to complete the inoculation of the crew within 3 hours?", asked Remae Andrew nodded. "there should be no problem Captain. if there are not any more surprises we should have every one ready in time." "Keep me informed.", said Remae Andrew nodded a reply at Remae as the Captain turned and left sickbay. (reply, any) (posted by Robbie) (USS Spectre-Banowsky's Quarters-Ensign Will Banowsky-16.10) Will had just returned from the bridge and was exhausted. He was up all night on the gamma shift and had maybe two, 1 hour naps throughout the day. He hadn't had much sleep in his system, and he was doing ok, thanks to some caffeine pills, but the needed some rest. He was off duty until they reached the star, which was approximately two hours, and a third 1 hour nap wouldn't hurt. He laid down in his bed, and readied himself for sleep. "Computer, set alarm for 17.55" <> (posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Spectre, Counsellor's Office, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1753) Divon was working on chronicling the day's appointments. It had taken a good deal more effort and length than he'd anticipated. He had to cancel the rest of his appointments after the SFI Agent's appointment. ~So the Captain dodges yet another bullet.~ he though with a slight grin. He'd get to the captain eventually. Suddenly, Divon felt a sharp pain in his temple. The pain was so great his eyes began to water. There was a... sensation... a feeling of something else there... and then it was gone, as quickly as it began. ~Odd, maybe I'm still getting used to the intensity of this crew.~ he thought, trying to explain things away, but knowing he'd have to talk to the Captain eventually about this. =^=Senior Officers to the Bridge.=^= Divon sighed heavily. What he really needed was a few minutes in the dark with a cold compress. He got up and started out the door, not noticing the thin trickle of blood running from his left nostril. (posted by Jeff) (USS Spectre-Banowsky's Quarters-Ensign Will Banowsky-17.55) The alarm went off, as Will awoke from his nap a bit more refreshed. He got out of bed, and straightened himself up a bit, and then took some caffeine pills from a nightstand and swallowed them He was heading fro the door when he heard an announcement come from the bridge that all senior officers were to report immediately. So he hurridly left his room as he made his way to the bridge. (reply none) (posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Spectre, Bridge, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 18.00) A few hours had gone past, the crew's tension levels were rising and Remae could feel it, "Distance?", he said and a reply came back to indicate they were less than 10 minutes from the star at warp, Remae had no intention in just appearing without fully examining the area. "Senior Officers to the Bridge. Mr Orde, Yellow Alert. Take us out of warp.", ordered Remae as their proximity to the star was getting closer and closer. "On screen.", he ordered and the screen switched onto the star, a large blob of light, the screen magnified and the brightness of the star made Remae squint his eyes but someone added a black disc to the screen and masked out the sun, leaving just the corona and the surface visible. The star seemed extremely active, flares and other events exploded from the surface. "Take us in, half impulse.", he ordered and he wondered what the star had in store for them. (Reply from Williams, Any) (Posted by Anthony Keen) (USS Spectre, Bridge, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1803) Divon walked out of the turbolift and on to the bridge. He started down to the chair to the left of the command chair. A star, huge and volatile filled the screen. "Sir, reporting as ordered," he said to the captain as he sat down. He didn't really understand what the point of having him viewing a large star was, but on a star ship, it was best to expect the unexpected. It was then he rubbed his nose and noticed the sticky, slick sensation of his own blood. He quickly wiped it off. (Reply Ktell) Divon dropped his voice so only the Captain could hear. "Sir, I should tell you... briefly I had a feeling that we weren't entirely alone. It quickly passed... but... something seems... wrong." (Reply Ktell) (Posted by Jeff Bergeron) (USS Spectre-Bridge-Ensign Will Banowsky-18.06) Will entered the bridge and headed immediately for the CONN/OPS station. Relieving Petty Officer Ramirez, Will's face immediately went serious. This was nervous, he was worried, and he was tired, and he didn't like the mix of all these things. But, he was a starfleet officer, and he was going to suck it up. As they neared the star, the captain asked for sensor status. As Will was more worried about whether the ship would be able to make a quick getaway if needed he didn't have any sensor readouts to give. (Reply from anyone with fun-sun-facts) The computer started beeping at a rear console, "Unusual readings are coming from the star, Captain.", said a Science Officer. "Let's have a look.", said Remae examining the data coming in from the passive array sensor network. Will began to sweat a bit, he hated the phrase unusual readings. Especially after the whole ghost shuttle incident, that turned out to be nothing. Will began to become even more worried when as he turned around briefly to gaze at the activity on the bridge, he happened to see the counselor whispering in the captain's ear. In return, Remae looked at the Counsellor for a moment, "Another piece to the puzzle?", he said for a moment as he thought. "Keep at it, Counsellor." ~Keep at what. I really think they should outlaw whispering in times like these.~ Will thought to himself, trying to keep his cool as they came closer to the star. Numbers flew past the view screen, alongside the blackened image of the star, "Magnify quadrant 14-Beta.", and the screen obeyed, zooming in so that a large upper segment of the star was in close magnification. Remae then spoke "Mr H'Chir, do you recognize that?", said the CO, pointing towards a grouping of numbers, "It looks like a warp core signature, a Federation warp core signature." ~Now this is getting exciting, I don't know whether to be frightened or not. It's like Christmas, an unknown, something to wonder what it is. Man, I am so nervous right now.~ Will thought, as he continued to monitor all flight readouts. "Computer, run the sequence through the starship database, try and match it to a warp core signature.", said Remae now standing up close to the screen. << Working >> "Full magnification on that section of the star. Counsellor? Do you sense anything further?", asked Remae just in time for the computer to interrupt him. << Match Found >> "Split the view screen, let's see.", said Remae and up came the match the computer had found. "The Phantom.", said Remae has the image of the Spectre's sister ship appeared on the screen. His mouth opened quite a bit by this news, "The USS Phantom was lost on a deep cover mission in the Gamma Quadrant quite a few years ago, at least, that's what we were told.", he said needing more information. "CONN, take us closer, close enough to use the short range sensors.", said Remae now back in his command chair. "Aye sir," Will replied, "Taking the Spectre in closer sir." ~A real "Ghost ship". Oh man, It's like one of those old movies from the 21st century. This is gonna be interesting.~ A few moments past, the Spectre closed in and as the star got closer and closer, someone said they spotted something on the screen, a quick magnification showed them was the Spectre's computer had told them moments before. The Phantom in all her glory was just sitting there, not cloaked, not damaged she was in a very close orbit of the star, she wasn't moving, and there was no sign of power or life, at least from the outside. "Okay, well, that's strange.", said Remae, without her cloak, how was the Phantom able to withstand the heat? Before anyone could offer an answer. *SLAM* Will fell to from his seat to the floor. Somehow, someway the Spectre was hit by something, which was almost impossible seeing as how they were cloaked. Will, who was beginning to calm down, began to grow nervous once more. "REPORT!", he yelled as he was thrown to the ground again, "Get us away from the star, full impulse.", he ordered scrambling to his chair once more, whatever was hitting the ship it was not concerned with laws of physics or space and Remae was determined the spectre wouldn't end up like the Phantom. "Aye sir," Will said as he got back into his seat. "Turning the ship around, and preparing to leave star at full Impulse sir." Will quickly began to punch in the controls, and the Spectre began to turn itself around. While Will was at his controls, Counselor Lronen picked himself up from the ground and spoke. "Captain, we have to get out of here right now! Leave that ship alone! We have to leave! We're all in danger!" said Divon loudly. ~Danger, another thing that should be outlawed in a situation like this!~ "Sir, just give the order, and I will do my best to get us back into high warp." Will said as the now turned around Spectre was leaving the star at full impulse. (reply all) (posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Spectre, Bridge, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 18.10) The Spectre was heading towards the Class Y Star that Starfleet was so interested in. As the ship approved, Remae read again the readings Starfleet had taken of the star, given the mass of activity, these reading stood out above all the rest of the sensor noise. "Sensor status?", asked Remae, interested to see if the passive sensors had detected anything. Given how close they were getting, the ship would be subjected to enormous bursts of x-rays, heat, radiation, something the shields wouldn't be able to cope with. (Reply from anyone with fun-sun-facts) The computer started beeping at a rear console, "Unusual readings are coming from the star, Captain.", said a Science Officer. "Let's have a look.", said Remae examining the data coming in from the passive array sensor network. "Sir, I should tell you... briefly I had a feeling that we weren't entirely alone. It quickly passed... but... something seems... wrong.", said the Counsellor, quietly, so that only Remae could hear. In return, Remae looked at the Counsellor for a moment, "Another piece to the puzzle?", he said for a moment as he thought. "Keep at it, Counsellor." Numbers flew past the view screen, alongside the blackened image of the star, "Magnify quadrant 14-Beta.", and the screen obeyed, zooming in so that a large upper segment of the star was in close magnification. Remae thought he saw a pattern, "Mr H'Chir, do you recognize that?", said the CO, pointing towards a grouping of numbers, "It looks like a warp core signature, a Federation warp core signature." "Computer, run the sequence through the starship database, try and match it to a warp core signature.", said Remae now standing up close to the screen. << Working >> "Full magnification on that section of the star.

His mouth opened quite a bit by this news, "The USS Phantom was lost on a deep cover mission in the Gamma Quadrant quite a few years ago, at least, that's what we were told.", he said needing more information. "CONN, take us closer, close enough to use the short range sensors.", said Remae now back in his command chair. (Reply from Anyone on the Bridge) A few moments past, the Specter closed in and as the star got closer and closer, someone said they spotted something on the screen, a quick magnification showed them was the Spectre's computer had told them moments before. The Phantom in all her glory was just sitting there, not cloaked, not damaged she was in a very close orbit of the star, she wasn't moving, and there was no sign of power or life, at least from the outside. "Okay, well, that's strange.", said Remae, without her cloak, how was the Phantom able to withstand the heat? Before anyone could offer an answer. *SLAM* Remae was thrown to the floor, the Specter had been hit by something, something able to get past their phase cloak, from what he knew that was impossible, but still. he was on the floor. "REPORT!", he yelled as he was thrown to the ground again, "Get us away from the star, full impulse.", he ordered scrambling to his chair once more, whatever was hitting the ship it was not concerned with laws of physics or space and Remae was determined the Specter wouldn't end up like the Phantom. (Reply from ALL) (Posted by Anthony Keen) (USS Specter, Bridge, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1812) The Captain had told him to keep scanning, and so he had... fruitlessly for the most part. The crew worked to try and figure out what was going on. Things were not going... properly... to say the least. *SLAM* Divon felt himself fall to the floor. Seconds later, his consciousness began to wane. (posted by Jeff) (Mindscape, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1813) Suddenly, Divon was immersed. It felt like an inky blackness surrounded him, seeping into his pores, clogging the and him. Pushing out of the viscosity Divon made is way and looked at the patterns swirling around him. ~Strange, this shouldn't be. I should be conscious, on the bridge of the Specter, not here.~ Divon walked through the blackness, lit by bright, swirling lights. The world went cold... malignant. There were other minds present... that was sure. They were not those of the Specter crew. These were... angry... hurt... they wished suffering and pain. "Show yourselves!" called out Divon, beginning to feel angry himself. In front of him, a form swirled into focus. He was wearing a Starfleet command division uniform. He smiled wickedly at Divon. "Who are you? What do you want of us?" Divon called out. The figure just smiled in response and began to cluck his tongue in response. "It is you we want." Suddenly, Divon felt a wave of nausea. It was as if he passed through a plane of pure... evil. Divon long ago had lost his belief in good and evil... however... this... this was different... more malignant... more diseased than anything he had felt before. Then, the scene dissipated. (posted by Jeff) (USS Specter, Bridge, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1814) Divon slowly shook himself awake. His eyes fluttered open to see the crew picking themselves off the deck plating. Several were already back at their stations. Divon suddenly felt his pulse quicken, as panic seized him. "Captain, we have to get out of here right now! Leave that ship alone! We have to leave! We're all in danger!" said Divon loudly. (Reply Ktell) "You don't understand Sir, we're being invaded! There are entities on board, and more coming. We have to leave now!" (Reply Ktell, any) (Posted by Jeff Bergeron) (USS Specter, Sickbay, CMO, Williams - 18.15) Andrew saw sitting down with a cup of caffeine and a PADD going over the data that was being relayed from the sensors. ~the radiation levels look okay for the time being~ he took a sip from his cup and realized that it was cold. ~better get another one. Can't fall asleep during the mission~ he stood up and got two steeps towards the replicator. *SLAM* Andrew felt that deck drop from under him. he fought to gain balance but was thrown off his feet and landed hard against the far wall. he lay there for a moment until the floor stopped shaking. "Is every one okay?" (reply any) he asked getting up slowly ~what the hell is happening~ the floor bucked again but he was standing by a bio-bed. he held on for dear life and some how managed to stand up. ~what are they doing up there~ "Williams to bridge. is there any one injured up there?" (reply bridge) (reply bridge, any) (posted by Robbie) (USS Specter, Sickbay, CONN, Lok - 18.15) Lok had been out for sometime. He felt like he was drifting through time and space in his heavy slumber. He was immersed in the warm darkness of his sleep and he thought nothing would ever disturb him. *SLAM* He heard a crash, but it didn't wake him and he felt a fleeting since of flight. As if some one hit a switch in his mind, he was awake. No sooner had he opened his eyes, he had landed flat on the Sick Bay floor and rolled into another Bio Bed. He held his head as the head ache came thumping back. He looked around and saw Andrew recovering from the sudden blow. "Is every one okay?" Lok got to his knees. " I am okay I think Doc" Lok held onto the Bio Bed and slowly stood. He immediately was thrown to the ground by another shudder. He lay prone on the cool floor. " I think I will just stay here for a while." Lok lay his head down and prepared for any more sudden jolts. (reply any) (posted by Chris) (USS Specter, Bridge, COUNS, Ensign {SG} Divon Lronen - 1815) Suddenly, a calm fell over Divon... at least outwardly. He could feel the invasive tendrils reaching into his mind again, attacking. The mind was strong. He had been formally trained. Divon had studied for years to get some measure of control over his abilities and to be able to focus it. He wasn't prepared for what he was meeting despite this. Divon could see that the power of whatever they were facing burned brighter than a sun. In desperation, Divon called out to the mind before him. ::Who are you? What do you want?:: Divon asked, knowing the answer. A blinding flash greeted him, suddenly he was not alone. The proximity was devastating Then, and Divon's world went black. His eyes fluttered open. He stood. He looked at the one that was the Captain. "It seems over now," he stated, "Soon, all shall be correct." (Reply Ktell, any) (Posted by Jeff Bergeron) (USS Spectre-Bridge-Ensign Will Banowsky-18.16) Will looked at his console, waiting for the order to get out of there. Just one word and he would have the ship in high warp faster then a rattle snake striking its prey. Will was beginning to become more nervous, he didn't like this situation at all. But it all became progressively worse, he was beginning to feel ill for some reason. He was getting the chills and sweating profusely. ~Is this a late reaction to the inoculation, I don’t feel to well.~ Will looked around, he was beginning to feel dizzy, and queasy and was having trouble keeping his eyes open. Perhaps it was his lack of sleep. He didn't know. He thought about leaving the CONN, but he was hoping it would pass. Just then everything went black. He didn't know where he was. He was on the bridge, or at least he thought he was. Did he pass out, was he dreaming. He had to have been, because there was this green force heading straight for him. ~Man, what the hell is the doc putting in his stuff, I'm hallucinating here. ~ Will looked on as in his dream the green light surrounded him. He felt queasy once more . ~Muahahahahahahahahahah~ Will's eyes opened as a crewman came up to him to see if he was alright. "Are you alright sir?" the crewman asked. "Yes, yes I'm fine. Perfectly fine," Will replied as his lips turned into a twisted smile. He wasn't feeling ill any more. He looked around the bridge at the command chair and noticed the captain and counsellor speaking. ~I missed.~ He thought to himself. ~Dammit I missed.~ After the counselor had finished speaking, Will spoke up. "Sir, perhaps maybe running away isn't the best option. Maybe send over an away team sir? (reply Ktell) (posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Specter, Bridge, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 18.20) Remae had ordered the Specter away from the Y Class Star at full impulse, whatever that was slamming into the ship was penetrating the phase cloak and throwing the ship around. =^= Williams to Bridge. Is there any one injured up there? =^= "We seem to be okay, casualty report?", said Remae the waves hitting the ship seemed to be lessening. Before the Doctor could reply, Lronen jumped up, "Captain, we have to get out of here right now! Leave that ship alone! We have to leave! We're all in danger!" "What? Why?", said the Bajoran, looking bewildered. "You don't understand Sir, we're being invaded! There are entities on board, and more coming. We have to leave now!" "Sir, just give the order, and I will do my best to get us back into high warp.", said Will at the CONN. Suddenly it went dark and it took a moment before the lights came back up and before Remae could reply to the CONN's request, the comm chattered into life. =^= Engineering to Bridge, we just lost the warp engines. =^= "It seems over now, soon, all shall be correct." Remae spun around at the Counsellor; that didn't make a lot of sense, "Sir, perhaps maybe running away isn't the best option. Maybe send over an away team sir?", said Will and Remae looked around again, "In case you didn't notice." The Bajoran hit the deck, pain, more pain than he could imagine swept over him so much so, he felt like he was going to faint. he grabbed his head and before he knew it, the pain had gone. "That's sounds like the correct course of action, Ensign.", said Remae standing up, bring us about and take us into transporter range, drop the phase cloak, raise the shields, we'll need to be normal space to transport.", he said sitting down once more. "Mr Lronen, Mr Banowsky, please report to my Ready Room.", he said, leaving the Bridge and heading into the Ready Room despite no one on the Bridge questioning his order to return to the star, with just their shields to protect them. (posted by Tony Keen) (USS Specter, Sickbay - Williams - 18.24) =^=We seem to be okay, casualty report?=^=", said Remae before Andrew could reply the counsoler jumped in. "Doctor over here." Andrew turned to see a crewwoman being carried in by a crewman. Andrew stepped over to them. "what happened." "A conduit ruptured on deck seven a number of people are injured." As Andrew helped the crewwoman onto the bio-bed he turned to Douwsy. the deck rocked and he grabbed onto the bio-bed for support. "Douwsy get to deck seven and get started. call if you need anyting." Andrew quickly scanned the woman. "Don't worry you will be okay. you just have a deep cut." he grabbed a dermal regenerator and passed it over the woman's arm until it healed. "that should be it but take it easy with it okay." He looked over his shoulder and saw that Warren was dealing with patients of his own. "Warren I'm popping up to the bridge to give the captain a quick report. call if you want a hand." ~better not be too long or we'll have to open a cargo bay~ he saw Warren nod and return to his patient. Andrew grabbed his medical kit and left sickbay (Location Unkown-Banowsky-18.30) Will's eyes opened, he was no longer queasy, no chills, no sweats, nothing. He was feeling fit as a fiddle. He looked around and noticed he was no longer at his station. He didn't know where he was, or what was going on. Was he dreaming, it had to be a dream. He remembered being right there at the station, ready to leave. Then he felt sick, blacked out. Maybe he was dreaming, that had to be it. He was probably dragged down to sickbay and the doc was checking on him. "I guess I should explore." he said, "This is a dream must be. Maybe I can fly. Who knows, any minute I'll wake up in sickbay." Will looked around and waited. Nothing, he wasn't awake. He looked around the area, it was an office of some sorts. He sat in the chair and looked around. "Well this isn't a bad office. Not bad at all." Will said as he began stroking his chin. "Well this is odd, I don't remember having a beard." Will felt his face a bit more, and there was definitely a goatee there. "Well I guess in a dream I can have a beard. Come on doc, wake me up man, wake me up." Will then decided to look through a drawer in the desk. It was a dream, lets see what’s in there. He opened the first drawer and found two things, a type II phaser, and a Mirror. He picked up the phaser and set it on the desk. Then looked in the small personal mirror. His face was different, he had a goatee, grey eyes and jet black hair. He was also had three rank pips on his collar. Obviously in his dream he was a commander. "This is weird. Come on Doc, WAKE ME UP!!!!!!!" He pinched himself a few times, nothing. He wasn't waking him up. He looked down at himself one more time. He was much more buff. He picked up the mirror and looked at his face one more time. "I look kinda devious. Dammit, am I in a coma or something. Whatever, this is my dream I'm gonna explore." Will then picked up the phaser and left the room, not knowing what exactly was going on.

"Aye sir," Will replied with a smirk, "Plotting course for the Phantom, the phase cloak is dropped, and shields are raised sir. Anything else?" "Mr Lronen, Mr Banowsky, please report to my Ready Room.", he said, leaving the Bridge and heading into the Ready Room. Will got up and followed as a crewman took his spot. (Posted by Will Banowsky) (USS Specter, Ready Room, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 18.35) The door closed behind the three of them as it did so, Remae spun around, fist closed, slamming into the cheek into the Third Officer, knocking him to the ground, Remae knelt down, picking him up, "What do you think you are playing at, you were suppose to go into the Security Officer, I get the feeling you were trying to capture the Captain!", he said dropping the Ensign and giving him a kick for good measure, "Remember who is in charge in the future." He stood and left the bleeding Ensign on the ground, "Now, let's see what we can do about getting the rest onboard.", he said leaving the Ready Room and heading back on the Bridge.

"Yes sir," Will mumbled laying on the ground. He stood and left the bleeding Will on the ground, "Now, let's see what we can do about getting the rest onboard.", he said leaving the Ready Room and heading back on the Bridge. "We'll see sir, we'll see." Will said wiping away some of the blood as he stood to his feet. ~We'll see in good time whose in charge. I'll show em all whose the real brains of the outfit.~ Will looked over at the counselor. "You heard the boss, lets go find out about the others, and getting them onboard huh. What da ya say?"

"Captain what's happening. we have gotten medical emergency reports from all over the ship. Sickbay is filling up fast. I need space to do surgery. I can't do it if we are bouncing around." (reply Remae) (posted by Robbie) (Location Unknown-Remae - 18.40) Remae was standing, that was the first shock, and he looked around. ~ Nice Quarters ~ He headed towards the bathroom area, looking around as he went. ~ Dreaming, I must be dreaming ~ The Bajoran spied the sink and he had a plan, splash some water on the face, that'll wake him up, perfect idea. He pulled the bowl out and water began to run, even though that felt odd in itself, he splashed his face and looked up at the mirror. "Arrfggghhhhh.", he said almost sprinting award in reverse away from the mirror, into a couch and onto the floor. back where he started. He let his head hit the ground, he sighed and got up again. this mirror must be part of the dream, this time, he decided to sneak up on the mirror. coming in at an angle, the mirror wouldn't know what hit it. he sneaked around and pounced in front of it!! He froze for a few moments, after that didn't change the face looking back at him; he closed an eye. then the other one, then both and opened both at the same time. Nothing he did changed the face looking back at him, he grabbed his nose and wiggled it. Not only had the Bajoran lost his ship and his body, it seemed that fate had taken away his gender too.
