=/\=”Aye, sir. Flynn out,” =/\= Arthur crisply replied, closing the channel and turning his head as the door hissed open to admit several emergency bridge crew members. “Science, I need a scan of the entire ship, bridge down, note any irregularities and forward them to the labs, tell me if anything particularly stands out. Engineering, can I get a Level 4 diagnostic of non-critical systems and a level 3 diagnostic of critical systems, please?” He tapped at the panel, transferring primary ship command functions to the Aux Bridge. While he was, of course, worried, he’d long ago learned that if the leader looks calm and cheerful, everyone else gravitates that direction. And as long as he wasn’t actually long-term in command, he was fine there too. So he sat and softly smiled as the crew took their stations and started on the tasks, waiting for the command staff to manage to get down to deck 7.

=/\=Backup bridge crew to auxiliary bridge.=/\=
Came the shipwide comm. A moment later Cmdr. Mal’athar walked onto the aux bridge on deck 7. “Comm get me an emergency line to Event Horizon.” She looked at Flynn as she took the center seat. “Status report?”

Cmdr. Mal’athar, XO

With Ens Book remaining near the main bridge to be ready to render medical assistance to the bridge crew, Ben had decided to head to the Auxiliary Bridge. As he arrived on the bridge, he went across to one of the terminals.

“Scans and diagnostics are underway, command functions are centralized here. No results yet,” Arthur stated, moving to the science station and relieving the officer there as Commander Mal’athar took the central chair.

Mal’athar nodded, “Thank you, Cmdr Flynn.”

Bump!

At that moment, the computer coordinated results with the team by the bridge and the Aux bridge. A copy of all the bridge stations current tasks came through. It seemed that everyone had been focused… intensely focused… on an incoming hail from somewhere is deep space. All of the stations were being used to listen to it… but not to analyze it, oddly enough. It seems that the bridge crew was simply listening to it… with no attention to anything else.

The bridge feeds came online as well. They showed all the crew on the deck, some convulsing, and all bleeding out of their ears and eyes.

Ben swore under his breath.

“Can we shut that signal down?!”, he barked to no-one in particular. He couldn’t be too sure at this distance, but the bleeding from the ears and eyes indicated some form of cerebral haemorrhage. The signal had to be linked.

Shedda watched the feeds in growing concern. “Kohvlek do NOT allow that signal to play here, she what you can do to get that signal shut down.”

“Aye Commander,” Kohvlek got to work.

“Flynn I want to know where that signal is coming from and what kind of frequency it is. Without you having to listen to it. Engineering, I want all systems but life support shut down and cut off from the bridge. Tacticle give me an assessment of possible threats in the area and any ships or signals out there.” Then she turned to Hudson, “Is there anything we can release through the vents to help them?”

“Understood.” Arthur tapped at his console, pulling the relevant data from the comms system with a restriction to block the actual signal from being displayed or played.

“Kohvlek, I need that connection to Event Horizon as fast as you can make it. Priority ine emergency.”

The comm officer nodded and added that to the things she was doing, “Signal out, awaiting a connection, Ma’am.”

Ben pondered the question as Arthur responded. “There’s nothing that would isolate the effects, but Neurazine would render them unconscious. That might help stop them reacting to the sound.” He suggested.

“At the very least, it would reduce any suffering.”

The comms activated at that moment and Cochrane’s voice was heard through the Aux Bridge. =/\= Okay. Open up your kits and get some cotton balls or gauze or something and some bio-gel adhesive.=/\= Cochrane said. =/\= Listen up. =/\= he said to everyone assembled near him. =/\= Soak the gauze or whatever in the gel adhesive and then shove it in your ears. It’ll harden in about 30 seconds. We shouldn’t be able to hear anything. Now, that’s both good and bad. Good because we should be able to get on the bridge and grab our people. Bad because we can’t communicate verbally. So hand signals and move quickly. Grab someone and drag them back to the Jeffries Tube. Medical, you are with me on the bridge. Security, you will post up on the ladder and hand down the wounded. =/\= He paused a moment and said “And to be sure that whatever-it-is doesn’t seep out; take off comm badges and leave them here. When we get in the tube, close the lower hatch behind us. We’ll have to stack up inside until we clear the bridge and get everyone off. Once we have everyone out and the hatch to the bridge sealed, then AND ONLY THEN will we open the lower hatch. Understood? =/\=

Cochrane, CO

She wasn’t part of medical in a strict sense (though she had made a standing offer to help in emergencies), but of course she had gotten the alert the rest of the senior staff had gotten, nor was she bridge-crew trained. All she knew was that there was an emergency on the bridge and when she inquired where the senior staff were, the computer informed her that some were on Deck 2, and the rest on the Auxiliary Bridge. After paging her emergency carer, Sair made her way to the Aux Bridge and took in the tone of the situation. She approached Shedda. “What’s happening?” she said.
