CommoLukasFyrstk: Captain's Log, Stardate 59089.95
CommoLukasFyrstk: Ah currently have Lt. Haas checking systems for possible 

malfunctions.  We are also scanning for a zilot aboard ship.
CommoLukasFyrstk: Ah'm not certain how it got on board, but one has been seen bah 

Lt. Lost.  Thus far scans have turned up negative.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[OPS]  Any luck, Mr. Haas?
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet::Doing important CMO stuff in sickbay  since last 

time::
RomnHaas: OPS> None yet, Captain.  B-but they are relatively small and one on a 

ship this s-size could take some time.
GwenivereMarqusa: +ops+ Hey Rommie, I have a problem
T L Lost: When you find those things Rommie, can I kill them.
RomnHaas: OPS>+[TAC\+  Go ahead, Commander.
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::saunters onto the bridge since that is where all the 

action is::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>:Looks to Lost:: Those things?  Yu think there's more than 

one?
GwenivereMarqusa: +ops+ There were these rodents in my room.  They just 

stole my lunch and then scampered out of here.
T L Lost: [co] yessir.  Did I forget to mention that when I went chasing 

after the one who stole my padd, that my lunch mysteriously dissapeared?
RomnHaas: OPS>+[TAC]+  How many Gwen?
GwenivereMarqusa: +ops+ at least two.  One to cause a diversion, the other 

to steal food.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION:: Navigational sensors suddenly wink out on Lost's 

board::
T L Lost: ::looks at the sensors::what now!
RomnHaas: OPS>+[TAC]+  Acknowledged, Gwen.  I-I'll scan for them again.
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::Decides its best she not comment that she really 

likes fuzzy animals right about now::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::looks over to Rommie::
RomnHaas: OPS>[CO]  Commander Marqusa has seen two o-of them also, Captain.
T L Lost: my sensors are down now!
RomnHaas: OPS>:Glances at his console.::Confirmed.  N-navigational sensors are 

down, sir!
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  All stop, Mr. Lost.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[OPS]  Could this be the zilots?
T L Lost: [co] aye sir.  ::stops the ship:: this just is NOT my day!
GwenivereMarqusa: ::heads back to the bridge::
RomnHaas: OPS>[CO]  I-it is a possibility, sir.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::  The zilots emerge in sick bay.  They find a secluded 

corner ad start eating the food they have procured.::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  Fahnd them damn rodents, Mr. Haas.  Get security on it if 

you have to, but fahnd them now.
RomnHaas: OPS>  Aye, sir.  +[TAC]+  Ops to Commander Marqusa.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::enters the TL:: Bridge!
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet.::Returns to sickbay::
GwenivereMarqusa: +ops+ Marqusa here
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::  The long range sensors go down.::
RomnHaas: OPS>+[TAC]+  Gwen we neeed to enlist s-some security guards to search 

for these creatures.
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::thinks the fuzzy little animals are really cute::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::The zilots hear Ratchet come in and scamper off again::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::steps out onto the bridge:: Okay Rommie
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::replicates food and leaves it about so they come again::
RomnHaas: OPS>[CO]  Sir! W-we just lost long range sensors.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The zilots stop in their tracks smelling the food Ratchet put 

out.::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::moves to the tac station and contacts security to begin 

a search for the little creatures::
T L Lost: more rodent problems
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  Mr. Haas, put out a department wide alert.  If anyone 

spots them to let us know.
RomnHaas: OPS>  Aye, sir. :Does so.::
GwenivereMarqusa: Captain, they seem to be attracted to food.  What about 

baiting them?
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::stands quiety holding a blanket to toss on them when they 

come to the food::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  Whatever it takes, XO.  Let's get them, and get teams on 

those sensors, Mr. Haas.
RomnHaas: OPS>  A-already on it, Captain.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::contacts security and arranges for them to bait the 

zilots with small quantity of food::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The zilots start back towards Ratchet's food, but suddenly 

get a whiff of something they like even more.::
GwenivereMarqusa: Security>::sitting with the food in the brig, looking at his 

console::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::the zilot gets so attracted to the new scent, spiders, that 

they do not mask their own biological signatures.::
RomnHaas: OPS>  I-I have them sir.  Th-they're on deck seven headed for the 

computer core.
T L Lost: ::frowns, then looks down at his games::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::contacts a security team to get down to deck seven::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::Internal sensors suddenly wink out totally.::
Cadet Stuart: Ratchet>::sighs worried the others might kill cute fuzzy 

animals::
RomnHaas: OPS>  I-I lost them sir.  Internal sensors have suddenly gone off line
GwenivereMarqusa: Captain, permission to join the search myself?
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  Get tricorders.  Go find them critters.  Ah don't lahke 

sitting here blahnd.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::contacts the security teams, telling them to use 

tricorders to find the zilots biosignatures::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[HELM]  Mr. Lost.  Take one of the shutle sout.  At least 

their sensors will give us some eyes.
T L Lost: [co] with pleasure Sir.  ::quickly reaches down and grabs his 

games, before heading to the TL::
RomnHaas: OPS>::grabs a tricorder.:: I-Ill go below, sir.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::  Targeting scanners go down::
GwenivereMarqusa: captain, targetting scanners are down
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The zilots move closer to the source of the most delicious 

odors.::
RomnHaas: OPS>  Captain.  That can't be the ziots.  Th-the last I saw, they were 

on the move.
T L Lost: ::quickly enters the TL before anyone can comment about the 

games::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>  Fahnd out what it is then!
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[AXO]  Ah do't lahke this one it.  We are now a sitting duck
GwenivereMarqusa: I don't either Captain. 
CommoLukasFyrstk: MAL::Starts looking for the zilots too.::
GwenivereMarqusa: security>::uses tricorder and some food on deck 7 to try to 

find the zilots::
T L Lost: ::hurries to one of the shuttles and takes it out::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::the zilots find the source they were looking for.  Hundreds 

of hook spiders doing all sorts of nasty stuff tot he Eagle circuitry.::
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>::tracks the zilots to the computer core room.::
GwenivereMarqusa: security>::sees Mal, doesn't realize who it is::Hey kid.
CommoLukasFyrstk: Malachi>+[CO]+  Captain. I have tracked down the zilots.  They 

are now in the computer room.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[Mal]+  Acknowledged.  Wait there, Mal.  [TAC]  Gwen you 

want to head down there?
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>[Sec]  Hey. The zilots are in there.
GwenivereMarqusa: [co]Definately Sir
GwenivereMarqusa: Sec>::looks a little confused at Mal, still not sure who he 

is:: uh
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION:: Lost's lonng range sensors pick up a ship on an 

intercept course.::
T L Lost: Oh, this is just what I needed.
RomnHaas: OPS>::comes down the corridor tot he computer room::  Mal!
GwenivereMarqusa: ::hurries to the computer room::
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>  Romm....ummm.. Lieutenant!  They are inside.
T L Lost: @+co+ Eagle, this is the Talon.  We may have more trouble
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[TALON]+  What is it mR. Lost?
T L Lost: @+co+ There's a ship on intercept course sir.  It's coming in 

fast.
GwenivereMarqusa: sec>::sees Rommie:: Lt.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[TALON]+  Do you have an ID on it yet?
GwenivereMarqusa: ::exits the TL and heads down the corridor to where Rommie 

and company are::
T L Lost: @+co+ not yet Captain, working on it.
RomnHaas: OPS>[SEC]  It's okay, Ensign.  THis is the captain's son.
RomnHaas: OPS>  Open the door.
GwenivereMarqusa: sec>::nods, seems more comfortable::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::arrives to where the group is congregating::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::has the replacement tac officer saound red alert.::
T L Lost: @::scans the ship, looking for identification, hoping it's not 

the Frinkta, or any other number of people that would just LOVE to destroy the 

Eagle::
GwenivereMarqusa: tac>::sounds red alert::
RomnHaas: OPS>::enters his security code to open the computer room door.::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::Baby hook spiders come running out of the computer 

room.  A zilot hungrily chasing them::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::comes up behind Rommie::
RomnHaas: OPS>  Whoa!!!
RomnHaas: OPS[AXO]  Th-there's the problem with our sensors.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The approaching ship drops out of warp and approaches slowly, 

seeing if the Eagle is really dead in space.::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::moves out of the spiders way:: now WHAT is that?
GwenivereMarqusa: ::hears the red alert:: Now what?  Is that a malfunction?
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>::Looks in the computer room.::Te spiders are all over the 

equipment.
T L Lost: @::scans the ship::+co+ Captain, the ship is slowing
RomnHaas: OPS>::Moves to the sensor curcuitry junction::
GwenivereMarqusa:  +co+ Everything alright up there Sir?
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[Lost]+  Trah and stay out of it's sensors, Tru.  Ah'm 

beting they're not counting on you being out there
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[AXO]+  No, Gwen.  We have incoming.
T L Lost: @::maneuvers the Talon so that it's nestled right under the 

Eagle.  Allowing the larger ship to mask the shuttles readings:: +co+ Aye 

Captain.
GwenivereMarqusa: +co+ we have troubles down here Sir.  This mechanical 

spiders have infesteed the computer core.  Do you need me back on the bridge?
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[AXO]+  If you're not needed down there.  What's the 

status?
GwenivereMarqusa: ::looks over to Rommie for a status report::
RomnHaas: OPS>:Pulls open the curcuit junction panle.  Dozens of spiders scramble 

out:Ahhhh!!!
GwenivereMarqusa: +co+ Not good Sir
RomnHaas: OPS>  Th-this is not good.  Not good at all.
GwenivereMarqusa: (think we can continue past the reg stopping time Captain?)
CommoLukasFyrstk: MAL>::Stamps on some spiders as he moves to help Rommie::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ((Yeah.  We sure can))
GwenivereMarqusa: ::pulls out a phaser, sets it to stun and fires at some of 

the spiders::
GwenivereMarqusa: ((sweet!))
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The other zilot jumps on the panel and starts eating more 

spiders.::
RomnHaas: OPS>  Wow.  He really likes th-those little buggers.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::sees the zilots::+co+ It may be a good thing that the 

zilots were let loose Captain. 
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>::Opens the box withthe spare curcuit plug-ins::
GwenivereMarqusa: sec>::fires at the spiders::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  Mr. Lost  can you send your readings to our 

consoles?
GwenivereMarqusa: ::contacts engineering asking them to send repair crews to 

the computer core asap::
RomnHaas: OPS>::Shudders as he clears the last of the hook spiders out of the 

junction box::
T L Lost: @+co+ Yes Sir, I should be able to.  ::does some playing around, 

and finally gets the shuttle to send the sensor readings to the Eagle's Bridge::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[AXO]+  Cain you come to the bridge, Gwen?
GwenivereMarqusa: ::sees the engineering team showing up:: +co+ I'll be 

right up Captain.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::Moves tot he helm console, relieves the secondary helm 

officer::Ah'll take this, Ensign.
GwenivereMarqusa: Get the ships systems back up asap rommie
GwenivereMarqusa: ::hurries back to the bridge::
RomnHaas: OPS>[AXO]  Aye, sir.  W-we're working as fast as we can.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::enters the TL:: Bridge!
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  Tru.  Bring the Talon directly under the Eagle.  .
T L Lost: +co+That's the place I've been hiding Captain
GwenivereMarqusa: ::walks out onto the bridge and replaces the tac officer::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[OPS2]  LInk withthe Talon's navigational sensors.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  Tru, you're going to be mah eyes.  Ah'm going to 

move the ship so Ah'm going to need you to mirror mah actions as best as 

possible.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::checks over the tac systems:: Still no targeting sensors 

Captain, however, we are capable of firing.  ::checks sheilding::
T L Lost: @+co+I'll do my best Captain.  I kind of like being in one peice 

myself.  I do have a suggestion though captain.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[AXO] Gwen.  Were not going to get a lot of shots at this, 

so Ah want your best guess should you neeed to take a shot
GwenivereMarqusa:  Yes Sir
T L Lost: @+co+ we could temporarily connect the helm controlls for both 

the Eagle and the Talon to the Eagle's helm, and your commands would then move 

both the Eagle and the Talon.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  What's your sugggestion, Lieutenant?
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal> ::brings the spare boards to Rommie, steppping on a couple 

more spiders.::
RomnHaas: OPS>::swapping out the destroyed circuits.::
T L Lost: @+co+ I should be able to disconnect relatively quickly too, if 

need be . . . 
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  ::Smiles though he knows Tru can't see him:: 

Afraid you cain't keep up with me, Mr. Lost?
T L Lost: @+co+Oh, I can keep up with you Sir.  You are an old man after 

all.  But, I think it would be much less risky for all concerned to connect the 

two.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+It is a sound Ahdea, Tru.  Make it so.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::muters as he sets ship's course: Ah have to show ya "old 

man" sometahme.
T L Lost: @+co+ Aye Captain.  ::quickly connects the two helm controls::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::Tries not to laugh, over hearing both Tru and the CO's 

comments::
T L Lost: @+co+Sir, you have full control over the Talon's helm and 

navigation systems.
CommoLukasFyrstk: ACTION::Sensors now show the ship as the Frinkta Excelsior-

clone::
RomnHaas: OPS>::replaces the first board and activates it.  Internal sensors come 

back online.::
T L Lost: @+co+ It's the Frinkta Captain.  Excelsior-Clone.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  And they're not cloaked.  Something tells me they 

knew this was gonna happen to us.
GwenivereMarqusa: How could they have gotten the spiders onto the ship 

Captain?
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>[AXO]  Gwen do you have them on your board yet?
RomnHaas: OPS>::replaces anoter board.. Tactical scanners come to life::
GwenivereMarqusa: [co] Yes Sir.  If it's the excelsior clone, I know just 

where to hit them. 
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO> {AXO+HELM+]  Ah'm moving the Eagle towards them.  Ah hope 

we won't have to shoot to get rid of them, but be ready.
GwenivereMarqusa: Aye Captain.
T L Lost: @+axo+ Gwen, you better be a good shot
GwenivereMarqusa: +helm+ ::Grinning:: I'm a better shot, then you are pilot 

Tru
RomnHaas: OPS>::goes to replace another board when he feels a spider fal down on 

his collar::
RomnHaas: OPS>::jumps and troesd to get it off::
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>  ::tries to help Rommie get the spider off.::  I really 

hate spiders.
GwenivereMarqusa: sec>I'm not that big of a fan of them myself.  Especially the 

kind that are big and annoying.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::engages impulse engines, moving towards the Frinkta ship
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The Frinkta power up their weapons and shields.::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::checks the status of the shields::
RomnHaas: OPS>:knocks the spider off him and stamps on it as it hits the floor.::
RomnHaas: ::another spider bounces off Mal and skitters towards the security 

guard.::
T L Lost: @+axo+ Yeah, right!
GwenivereMarqusa: sec>::fires phaser at the spider that comes towards him::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The Frinkta ship moves towards the Eagle, but at half impulse 

as if they're still not certain of the Eagle's status::
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>::Smiles at the security offficer:: Those come in handy.
GwenivereMarqusa: ::glad to see that the sheilds are at full strength:: [co] 

should I fire a shot across their bow Sir?
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>+[HELM]+  Tru.  Confirm that they are moving towards us now?
T L Lost: @+co+ Confirmed Sir.  But they are moving slowly
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::smiles::[AXO\ Gwen.  Singe their sheilds.
GwenivereMarqusa: [co] With pleasure Sir.  ::fires a shot across their bow, 

right infront of their sheilds::
CommoLukasFyrstk: ::The Frinkta ships veers off and goes to warp::
T L Lost: @+co+ The Frinkta have veered off, and off to warpland Sir
RomnHaas: OPS>::replaces the third board.  Navigationa l sensors come back to 

life.::
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO> ::Sees the dead panel come to life.::And Ah have 

navigational sensors again. +]HEM]+  Bring the Talon home, Mr. Lost.
CommoLukasFyrstk: CO>::turns to Gwen:: Looks lahke you got the message through to 

them
CommoLukasFyrstk: Mal>::Picks up the female zilot::  This one's cute.
T L Lost: @+co+ Yes sir.  ::closes the connection between the Talon and the 

Eagle and regains helm and nav control of the shuttle.
T L Lost: ::
RomnHaas: OPS>::Working on a third board.::They're all c-cute til they get into 

the ship's systems
T L Lost: @::pilots the shuttle back to the shuttle bay::
GwenivereMarqusa: ::Grinz:: Yeah, it does.  Now the question remains.  who 

brought the spiders onto the Eagle?
CommoLukasFyrstk: PAUSE SIM
