=^=I’m on my way!=^= Gavin said replying to Demil’s call. It would take Doctor Stacey around 4 minutes to travel from the bio lab to the Arboretum.

Katie continued to duck under and around the tentacles that came flying at her from the blob creature’s main body. One tendril was writhing along the floor toward her and she took the opportunity to stomp on it. The tendril pulled back, shot out at her again but stopped in mid air before pulling back into the creature’s body.

“Lis, I don’t think this thing is interested in chasing us. I think it just wants us to stay away from it,” Katie shouted. “Maybe we don’t need to get it into the corridor. Can’t the transporter crew lock onto it in here? Couldn’t they just transport it outside the ship into space?”

As mentioned just before getting a lock on it could be possible, all they had to do was make a request to one of the transporter rooms.....

The tendrils of the blob-thing weren’t just flying through the air at them but were also snaking their way across the ground and walls of the arboretum. One grazed Katie’s boot before she backed away from it. Katie glanced up but could no longer see Lis.

“This thing isn’t moving nearly as fast as the earlier ones were,” Katie shouted. She tapped her communicator. “Hobbes to transporter. Can you get a lock on the blob creature in the Arboretum?”

=/\= One moment. We are a bit busy here at the moment. Damn that thing has gotten big. Yes. We can lock on it.=/\=

“Can you transport it off the ship into space?” Katie shouted. The tendril moving along the floor continued to move toward Katie and she continued to back away. A heartbeat later she was flat on her back having tripped on something.

The transporter operator over the open comm seemed to be muttering to himself as he worked. Something about being a transporter chief not a miracle working engineer. Finally just before the toxin induced blob tendril would smack Katie the hum of transport worked its magic. There was a briefly flicker of it not working but then the chief did something and the massive toxin induced blob vanished from sight. =/\= Got it! Sent it out into space. =/\= He said.

Moments after the blob was transported into space, Doctor Stacey rushed into the Arboretum. “Where’s it at?!” Gavin asked, looking around frantically. He didn’t want to be caught off guard with a blob on the loose.
