(After speaking to the EMH about the equipment, he joins Seth as he runs a scan on Beth)
What do you mean she is no longer infected Seth? How could those fibers have just vanished?
(He runs his Betascope back and forth above Bubba's neck to heal his neck and throat lacerations)
Captain, I have to tell you, I haven't the slightest idea what we have been witnessing here.

And she seems to be coming out of her trance like state. She is looking more like herself again. What happened?
Ensign Lowell, can you tell us anything about your experience?
Nigel, I'm going to run some scans on her DNA also. Bubba, how are you doing buddy?

Uhhhhh...15 more minutes, Mom. Please, just 15 more minutes and I'll get up. I can catch a ride with David, and we won't be late for class...Uhhhhh...
*Feeling a bit woozy, Bubba tris to shake away the cobwebs and get his bearings...*
Seth...? What the...what's going on? Man, I feel like someone dropped a building on me! I don't remember what hap...wait a minute. The last thing I remember is Beth...err, Ensign Lowel using me like a tube of tooth paste. W-Where is she now...?
*Quickly grabbing Seth, Bubba pulls him in front and pears out from behind, cautiously preparing for another "hug" by the herculean ensign...*

OOC Sorry for the delay in posting, trying to meet all the needs of all of the players, while staying in "role play" character.
And also because of the delay in posting, lets assume that this has happened already.
When the unknown source of energy was detected the emergency protocols immediately engaged.
The Captain was beamed to the Command Centre,
The Visitors platform separated from Solaris to move to its pre-designated position in space, just far enough away for no transporting.
All the force shields, that were being powered by Solaris dropped, and there will be a 30 second window before the force shields engage again, under the power of the Visitors Station.
The highest ranking Solaris member as command control. |

OOC Nigel, you are the leading physician, you have command control of the visitors platform, to disengage all force shields.

*From behind Seth, Bubba grabs a few quick breaths and stretches a bit to loosen up after the encounter with Ensign Lowel...*
Wow, Nigel. Thanks. That feels a lot better. Hey...do you think I could borrow one of those gadgets? You know, for the old football injury...
*As the Visitors Platform disengages from the main station, they all notice the force fields, once containing the creatures and the infected crew, have momentarily been interrupted. With nothing holding them back, the weird combatants turn and advance on Bubba and those around him. The security team once again engages the creatures with all the force at their disposal. As one of the tendrils rushes toward his group, Bubba instinctively grasps the handle of Mr.C. A quick snap of his wrist sends the cleaver spinning, slicing into the creature and severing it along its length. The blade spins back to Bubba's hand, and he watches as the two sections writhe and flail about for a moment, then stop.*
Man, those are some ugly suckers! Seth, maybe you can get a sample and run more...run more...uh...ohhhh boy....
*Several feet away, the two segments begin to stir. The severed sections twist and undulate in a bizarre series of moves. And after only a few moments, the segments appear to have healed themselves. At that same moment, a warm trickle of blood begins to drip from his nose and without time to evaluate the new situation, Bubba and the others watch in horror as the two creatures lunge directly toward Seth and Nigel.*

*Before the others can react, Ensign Lowel leaps in front of Seth and seizes the creature bearing down on him. Simultaneously, her free hand shoots out and captures the one heading for Nigel. As the others watch with amazement, she proceeds to repeatedly smash the entities into the deck, again and again, until all that remains of the monsters is a sickening, wet stain on the floor. Turning back to the group, Beth pauses for a moment, then looks up and smiles. Brushing the hair from her eyes, she turns toward the advancing creatures and launches forward, slamming into them and the infected crew like an out of control buzzsaw. As both the diseased and monsters are tossed about like ragdolls, Bubba and the others stare in disbelief...*

(responding to IA) Thank you Ia. (see the force fields drop)  (As Beth safes him from one of the creatures, Nigel turns to the computer and orders the Force Fields to be re-established) (then yelling out at the creature) WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO KILL YOU!!! |

*A slight humming sound can be heard as the force fields are brought back online, safely isolating most of the crew. However, several larger areas have been enclosed due to the closer proximity of people. Seth, Nigel, and Bubba find themselves within one such bubble. And while the three feel relatively safe for the moment, their attention is drawn toward a neighboring bubble a few meters away...*
Umm...are you guys seeing what I'm seeing...?
*To say that the scene taking place nearby is "beyond shocking" would be an understatement. The three watch dumbfounded as Ensign Lowel, trapped within one of the larger fields, proceeds to annihilate several of the creatures, crushing them into piles of pulp. And at the same time, utilizing a sequence of otherworldly moves, she is able to incapacitate her infected SST teammates, who are also contained within the same field. But what the three onlookers find even more disturbing, is that between each creature killed, and each teammate subdued, she turns back to smile and wave at the wide-eyed group before proceeding to her next victim.*
Umm...Seth...Nigel...are we dreaming this?

When she smiles like that, it looks like whatever has control over her knows us and wants us to somehow acknowledge her?

*The group continues to stare as Ensign Lowel finishes off the last of her trapped opponents...squashing the creatures and subduing the infected team members. Turning again to the onlookers, she waves and smiles, but this time she calls out in a voice loud enough for all to hear. After her little speech, Bubba and the others manage to return a weak smile and wave while they try to make sense of what they have witnessed.*
Oookayyy....if I heard correctly, Beth...err, Ensign Lowel just pointed out that she is finished with that batch, and she wants us to open up the force field so she can move on to the next cluster. She...umm...said she feels terrific and can't wait to get her hands on some more of the...monsters, and to crush the living goo out of them. Does...uhh..that about sum up what you all heard?
*As the group compares notes and discusses their next move, Bubba notices the blood from his nose has increased. Not wanting the others to see, he quickly grabs some torn clothing and tries to stop the flow. And again, the feeling that he felt before...the sense that he knows the cause for all that has happened...still continues to loom over him...*

At this point, I've got nothing.
Ia, please open the force field so that Ensign Lowell can move on to the next cluster of creatures. Also, please re-establish a force field around the people Ensign Lowell just finished with.
Bubba, how are you feeling by now?

Umm...wonderful, Nigel. I feel wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. How are you? If I may...you look great. Is that a new shirt? Yes siree, I feel wonderful. Hey, look at Beth tear into that next batch....
*Trying to hide the bleeding coming from his nose, Bubba turns his attention back toward Ensigh Lowel, who has now moved on to the next grouping.*
Wow, that woman is incredible! What are they feeding those kids down at SST headquarters? Whatever it is, I have got to get the recipe! Seth, you were saying something about her DNA changing. Do you think it's being rewritten, or combined with that of the creatures?
*Off to his left, Bubba notices some of the security team having a heated conversation and calls out to them...*
Hey...Ensign Robinson...Ensign Dillon! You guys okay over there? Don't worry, I think we're all safe for now. If there are any problems, Nigel will direct Beth to beat the snot out of any of those squirmy things. Looks like she's been taking all her vitamins, right?!

Well, again we need to get to that equipment to tell anything further. But looking at what is going on, if I was to make a guess, I'd say their DNA was combining together.
To what end, I haven't a clue.
(Looks at Ensign Dillon sternly)
Jacob, that isn't fair buddy!
Bubba, is your nose bleeding again?

*Turning toward Ensign Dillon, Bubba tries to downplay his remark while still hiding the problem with his nose...*
Jake...chill out, dude! Everything's cool over here! Yeah, we're all snug as a bug inside this nice little force bubble. When this is over, we can head down to the mess hall and I'll buy a round for everyone. What's your pleasure...Antimatter Ale? Big Bang Brandy? Singularity Shooters?
*Stuffing more material into his nose, which makes it more difficult to breathe, he turns back to Seth and Nigel and smiles...*
Hey, we're fine here. Me, and this big honker of mine. Heh heh...yeah, just fine....
*Feeling the effects of blood loss, Bubba struggles to keep his secret...*
What are we going to do with Beth over there? I mean, she's having a blast making monster mash. But what happens when she runs out of gas...or monsters? Hey, Jake...you got any ideas?

Ensign Jacob Dillon: Hell yes I have an idea!! Nigel, Seth, my idea is for the two of you to let me out of this force field and transport me the heck back to Solaris. I can get reinforcements and we could totally blow this barge out of the sky with that creature in it! Attachments:

That's crazy talk Jake! You know the force fields are the only thing keeping us safe right now right? Well except for the Tendril hunter there. We have to stick together and figure this out. And any of us could have some side affect from it, so none of us can go back to Solaris yet.
(angrily) And Seth! Would you please take care of Bubba's nose bleed???

I dunno, Nigel...maybe Jake has a point. Some heavy-duty blasters might fry those puppies. Uhh, I don't mean actual puppies. I meant that figuratively, of course. Fry those puppies, or cupcakes...even though I love cupcakes. But I've never had them fried. Wonder what they taste like fried? Hmmm...we're gonna have to try that when all this is over. Whatever. Whoa...is it me, or is the entire room spinning around sideways...? But I'm with Jake! Let's shake things up and grab a few high velocity particle beam rifles and send those suckers to La La Land! Ya know...ummm, if you could excuse me for a moment, I think I'm gonna sit down for a bit. Feelin' a bit woozy, so I'll just...just...uhh...*THUD*
*The loss of blood finally takes its toll, and Bubba falls to the ground. Meanwhile, as Ensign Lowel finishes off the last creature in her bubble, Nigel manipulates the force fields, sending her to another area. And, once again, Ensign Dillon rages about getting some additional firepower....*

*Watching Ensign Lowel seems to invoke a sense of both awe and terror in her teammates as she rips through the weird creatures. Even more unsettling was her expression...blissful, euphoric, almost giddy with each chunk of monster torn. And after disposing of a creature, a joyful wave and smile, along with a coy wink just to let the others know that things are alright. But as a new section of the field is opened, allowing the ensign to happily skip in to confront the next batch, a sudden rush of creatures and infected crew catches her off guard, pinning Beth to one side of the enclosure where she is unable to effectively move. Her enhanced strength and agility is able to keep the monsters at bay, for now. But slowly, the shear numbers attacking her begins to take its toll, and little by little the ensign finds herself in danger of being overrun by the hoard...*

Oh come on Bubba, don't do this now!!! (Gives the chef a hypospray to keep his blood coagulating) Nigel, we have to get Bubba to that equipment. And at this point, we may also need a blood donor for him.  |
