The Cloud

[Col Ralph D Hall]

I'm putting the Walking The Razor's Edge on hold as we have so many crew members on LOA. This is a Side Story called the Cloud

All Crew is at their Stations,While on a routine run all of a sudden the USS Tarawa is engulfed by a space cloud,
With in seconds and before the crew can react the entire crew pass out, a minute latter the crew comes to, to find 1/2 the ships crew is comatose,

Including Col Allen
MCapt Dorius
Major Iverson
Lt. Free
all the Andorians

It is also discovered that, the engines are getting power but not working, this includes the ship's engines the fighters, shuttles, etc. The ship is at a stand still inside the cloud.

We must find out what has happened to the crew, what this cloud is and get the ships engines running.

[Col Ralph D Hall]

He was standing by the center chair talking to Col Allen when on the viewer they were suddenly engulfed by some type of Cloud.

Suddenly everything goes black and he falls to the floor, a few minutes latter he wakes up, he looks at Col Allen going to apologies for passing out when he notice Allen was unconscious, he quickly looks around to see some of the others coming to, "Red Alert! I want that cloud scanned, Helm get us out of here!" he barks out orders

Grabbing a medical tricorder from the back of his chair he scans the Col, finding him comatose making a ship wide com Medical emergence Bridge, all departments report status!

[1Lt. Samantha Doogan]

Standing at her station when the cloud appears, the next thing she remembers is climbing up off the floor, her head was groggy but she heard Col Hall give orders, "Yes Sir!" she starts the scan of the cloud

She then spots Lt Free unconscious and runs to her quickly scanning her, Sam quickly looks at Hall when she hears him call a medical emergence on the bridge "She's Comatose Sir, other than that shes is OK!"

[2Lt David Greathouse]

He was walking toward Jackson, when he blacked out, and hit the floor, coming to he jumps to his feet to see several crewmen unconscious "Medics!" he yells out, he makes his way over to Iverson, Angle was already working on her.

"She's comatose Sir, nothing else is wrong!" Angle reports, other medics report the samething, hearing Hall over the ships Com "Marines here, we have several Marines comatose including Major Iverson Sir!" he replies after hitting his com, then looking around to see who was all wake "Once everyone is checked fall in for a head count" he orders

[Ava Walker]

Ava was checking out her fighter and was climbing off it when next she knew she was laying on her back looking up "What just happen?" she asked as she looks looks around seeing several pilots unconscious, she then hears Col Hall and the pilots coming around asking what happened, grabbing her fighter she starts to get up

[Lt Cmdr Melvin Moon]

He is standing at Tactical when suddenly the ship is enveloped in some type of cloud. He attempts to get tactical scans running to determine the composition of the strange cloud, but before he could get scans running, he blacks out

Several minutes pass before he returns to consciousness. He doesn't know how long he's been out. All he hears are several reports that the whole ship seems to have passed out. He gets to his feet to see Colonel Hall checking out Colonel Allen and Lt Doogan medically checking Lt Free. He looked over to helm as Hall ordered for the ship to be moved out of there and saw Zarlena still out of it. Telepathic scans of her would tell him that she is comotosed. He only hoped that she would be alright

Performing a quick check of the tactical systems would reveal nothing out of the ordinary. Leaping over his console, he moved over to the Helm control board, tapping a couple keys to get the ship to safety and away from the cloud. When he went to engage, the console gave him a buzzing sound. He raised a brow and tapped the engage key again, same buzzing sound and the ship didn't move. He then reported to Hall "Tactical seem to be alright, Helm control is unresponsive and so is MCapt Dorius, as she is in a comotosed state." He said the last bit as he started checking Zarlena for any physical injuries. As the Operations control board was close, he reached over and begin short range scans and general scanning of the cloud, then turns back around and checks Dorius

[Sgt Thomas Jackson]

He didn't realize he passed out until he came too, looking up at the ceiling with a marine medic checking him over. "Ok, who blind-sided me?" he asked her, then realized that the whole deck seemed to have blacked out.

He heard Greathouse's booming voice over the chaos and confusion reporting to the bridge that several marines were KO'd. He tried to sit up when he was pushed back down by a protesting medic "please hold still, sir. I want to make sure you're uninjured."

He didn't argue

[Second Lt Yuna Wynn]

She came around with her head pounding, she realizing she was laying on the deck in the middle of the hall. "By the Prophets.." She muttered as she slowly sat up and looked up and down the hall, various crewmen laying or just sitting up themselves at various intervals

Despite her splitting head, she got to her feet to go help them, several of those that were coming too asking her what happened. She didn't know as she had just came to herself. She calls sickbay to report the injuries on the deck and her position, Deck 5. She then tapped her badge again "Yuna Wynn to any security personnel. Please respond."

[Nemesis Xenakis]

A moment before, the viewscreen had shown only stars, now a haze had dropped over them, obscuring everything. Nemi had turned to Allen questioningly, then found herself on the deck, next to Hall who was now barking orders loudly enough to make her hold her hands over her ears. Listening to him, she began to understand, at least in part, what had just happened.

"Is there anything I can do to help, Sir?" She said to the XO as she stood. Her head ached. She wondered if she had hit it when she'd fallen.

[Col Ralph D Hall]

He looks at Nemi I haven't heard from sickbay yet, Can you check on them, they might need your help he rubs his head If sickbay needs more help pull Lt Ava from the fighters she has medical training

He listens as the reports come in tapping his com Lt Greathouse gather the remaining Marines you may be needed to help move the bodies he makes sure the Col wont fall from his chair be for he sits down in the XO seat

If sickbay don't needed you, return to the bridge, you OK Lt? he looks at her, his head still a bit foggy

[Nemesis Xenakis]

Nemi did a physical check, lightly touching her scalp, looking for bruises or cuts.

"No obvious injuries, Sir. My head just feels muddled, like I was up all night studying for Academy exams." She gave him a weak smile.

Approximately half the crew unconscious. They'd have to prepare enough space to accommodate and treat as many as two hundred and fifty individuals. Was there a reason half of them had only been unconscious for a few moments while others remained so? Of course there was, she chided herself. She wasn't thinking clearly. It was as if the cloud had settled itself in her head.

"Understood Sir." She straightened and took a deep breath. "I'll report on conditions as soon as possible."

[Thavanichent th'Dani]

OOC> I know I have not posted anything for a while, but I have not been on a LOA.
I have been checking back here constantly to see if the mission has resumed, been planning to go ahead and add some in the messhall, but I guess taking my time with it, and doing other projects since it has been so slow here.

I would of loved to have taken part in this, but was put into a coma instead.

[Col Ralph D Hall]

OOC: You are more than welcome to wake up and post in the Story Line Thavanichent th'Dani, with all that has happened I wasn't told you were on LOA.

Any member on LOA is more than welcome to wake up from the Comatose state their in when they return, it will add to the Story Line

[2Lt David Greathouse]

He taps his Com badge "Yes Sir! AS soon as we secure the the Marine Deck we start moving the bodies" he reports to Hall

Turning toward Jackson, being treated by the Medic "As soon as your done relaxing, well start moving the bodies into the staging area, Medics you will monitor them.

Then the we will start moving the other bodies, All right lets move Nap time is over"

[1Lt. Samantha Doogan]

Sam moves over Kor and starts scanning him "Lt Kor is Comatose no other injuries Sir" she reports

Sam then moves back to her station, and checks on the scan of the cloud, as reports keep coming in
