“Um… if we don’t do something about this, sickbay will be flooded shortly,” said a nurse in a panic voice.

GM

=/\= Engineering can you lock onto the....broom,=/\= her voice wavered for a second only because her request sounded crazy and she was seeing what she was about to report. There was no way engineering wasn’t going to think she was mental after she finished the statement. =/\=in sick bay and beam it out into space=/\=. Looking at the people in sick bay, Lily shrugged. “Let’s see if it can get back to its portal from outside the ship?”

Ensign Lily Locksley CMO

=/\= Sensors are not detecting any broom, sickbay. And what do you mean by broom anyway? =/\=

GM

Mado arrived on the scene. “Doctor Locksley, what happened here?” asked Mado.

GM

“Aside from us getting flooded and a broom that is attacking anyone that tries to stop is like a nun at catholic school with a ruler not much.” Lily couldn’t stop the thick layer of sarcasm slipping from her lips. She had no idea what to do or how to stop it save one. =/\=How do you not see he broom =/\= she groaned. =/\=Fine set the transporters to lock on the water in the room and transport that into space. She wasn’t sure this was even possible but bailing water out of a ship was the cure for taking on water since time memorial.

Ensign Lily Locksley CMO

“Don’t…” said Mado, but it was too late.

=/\= Um, sorry, Doctor… For some reason, every time we try to target the water for transport, the transporter gives an unexplained error and then we have to forcibly restart the transporter system. I’m going to have to take this transporter offline, but I don’t want to risk the other transporter because the Commander will be beaming down shortly. Also, the Commander is looking for you for the away team mission. =/\=

“So… who touched the weird thing that started this?” asked Mado, “I’ll take care of this, Doctor.”

GM

Lily looked right and left at the occupants in the room. “You are gonna take care of all this.....before the cappy finds out?” It was a completely rhetorical question. She did not want anyone to say no or change their mind on the offer. Turning on her heel she exited sickbay and headed to meet up with the away team.

Ensign Lily Locksley CMO

“I’ll make a full report, Doctor, the Captain will be notified after the crisis is dealt with. Enjoy Risa, Doctor! Now… who touched the weird thing that started this?” asked Mado again.

GM

OOC: Bump for Cel

GM

=/\= Lt. Mado to the Captain. An artifact has activated in sickbay, I am dealing with a flood at the moment. =/\=

GM

Bryson exited the turbolift and walked the short distance to Sickbay. He didn’t understand what the Lieutenant meant by broom, but only knew that it was causing chaos in Sickbay. He wondered if the pin that was delivered to Lily had anything to do with it. Stepping up to the door, Commander Erin walked in and hoped for the best.

OOC: GM, can you paint a picture for me so I my character can respond appropriately?

-Ray

OOC: Here’s a picture of the broom:

IC:

The door to sickbay was leaking a little bit of water. The door, wouldn’t open. It seemed that he would have perform a manual override to enter. Upon overriding the door control, Erin would observe the water was a meter high, and the appropriate amount of water rushed out the door of sickbay, as he pried open the door. Erin could also feel intense steam and moisture, as it was apparent that someone was using a phaser to try to evaporate the water. Emergency force fields activated in the sections near sickbay, to prevent the water from reaching other parts of the deck. At this point, they were trapped.

A magical portal was on the wall of the sickbay, where the broom with arms and two brown wooden buckets would appear and disappear with the water it seemed to carry and dump on the ground of sickbay. “Ah, Commander… all attempts to stop the broom have been unsuccessful. It’s invulnerable to phaser fire, evaporating the water only does so much. The only way to stop this is to find the artifact responsible and neutralize the artifact in the containment bag or one of the specialized containers,” said Mado. A nurse was trying to get the replicator to accept the excess water by recycling full glasses of water, but it seemed the nurse and sickbay were quickly loosing the battle. “Do you know what might have triggered this?”

GM

OOC: That’s hilarious

IC: “I’m assuming Ensign Lockley left you with this mess?” Bryson questioned, as he looked down at his now soaked uniform.

“I happened to have a strange feeling to report to sickbay, and so I did, only to discover this. I asked Dr. Lockley to leave me to handle this, considering she had to leave for the away team.”

“Did Lily touch the pin?” The Commander asked while wading through the water. The Operations Manager observed the nurse trying to fill up glasses of water and chuckled at her efforts.

“What pin? Show me, immediately,” stated Mado immediately.

“No sir, Ensign Celador Theinna touched it,” said one of the nurses.

“Rhodes and I were down in the cargo bay trying to enlarge the car, but the transporters were offline.” Commander Erin stated.

“Enlarge what car? Never mind, we’ve got to find that pin now, Commander.”

“But I doubt that would have led to this....” Bryson paused for a moment as he watched the broom reappear with two buckets of water. “Has anyone tried to hold it here so it couldn’t disappear to get more?” He asked.

Erin
Operations

“Commander, the world that I deal in is strange, unusual and has its unique wonders. But yes, it is possible for the pin to cause this,” replied Mado in a matter of fact tone.

GM

“It should be in the Doc’s office.” Bryson stated as he slowly made his way over to Lily’s desk. Commander Erin didn’t see the box on the desk, so he threw open a few drawers to see if the box was in one of those.

=^= Computer, at this rate how long will it take until Sickbay is submerged in water?=^= Bryson asked the computer, trying to see how long they had to reverse whatever happened.

Erin
Operations

“At present rate water appearing, 6 hours and 23 minutes,” chirped the computer.

“We’re in an episode of Looney Toons,” Duncan muttered, shaking his head in disbelief at what was going on. “Anybody tried clicking their heels together three times and saying they want to go home, yet?” Wading towards Erin, Duncan stopped and looked at him questiongly. “What pin that Lily was given?”

Lt Rhodes, CSO

“Dorothy’s shoes are real, Lieutenant, so I wouldn’t joke about that,” replied Mado seriously, “And they summon a tornado, mind you. But the wearer is protected and can travel using the tornado… anyone else is unfortunately, not so fortunate.”

GM

“Lets just hope those shoes aren’t aboard now, Lieutenant.” Commander Erin stated, “This ship won’t be able to handle a tornado.” The Operations Manager turned to Rhodes. “Lily was given a box that held this pin, we originally thought it was from you.....” It was very obvious now that the pin hadn’t come from Duncan, but that only raised more questions on why it was sent to Lily in the first place.

Erin
Operations

“Do you know what the pin looks like, Commander?” asked Mado.

GM

Bryson shook his head. “All I can remember was that it was gold…” He said, regretting his decision not to take a closer look when he had the chance. “We were just under the impression that it was a gift…” Commander Erin stated. “Otherwise, I would have taken it with suspicion.”

Lenore materializes on the transporter pad, she runs her hands over herself making sure she is all there. Reasonably satisfied she nods to the operator then heads to deck 3 to locate her quarters. Dropping off her meager belongings to unpack at a later time. Happy to be back after an emergency family thing on beta zed she hurries to deck 6 to check in with her DH and get her required physical at sickbay.
However as she arrives she notices right away there must be something wrong as there seems to be a force field in place she cant get to sickbay but her green eyes observe a puddle of water at the entrance.

ensign Lenore Mantis [Doctor]

OOC:
Welcome to the ship! Generally speaking, you should reply to the last post in the thread, which was mine. Also, the water level is near the forcefield, anyone observing, would have discovered the water slowly rising from the hallway as the forcefield is currently blocking the water from overflowing.

GM

“I never heard anything about a pin,” Duncan replied with a shrug, his eyes on the odd device that was producing the water out of thin air, so that he didn’t notice the arrival of the newcomer outside the forcefield.

=/\= Computer, are their any references in folklore or tales, of any species, as to the devices that are producing the water which is flooding sickbay? =/\=

-Lt Rhodes, Chief Science Officer

“One reference identified: Fantasia, a movie about a cartoon mouse who borrows his wizard mentor’s hat and decides to use it to help clean the wizard’s place using magic by magically animating mops. The mouse falls asleep while the magic continued on like a specified computer program without a stop condition, resulting in a flood from the mobs continuously pouring water to clean the destinated area.”

“So, it’d have to a pin of a wizard’s hat, I’m guessing,” said Mado.

GM

“So to turn it off, we need to go to the source, the wizards hat, which this pin is from perhaps?” He voiced his thought, looking between Bryson and Mado. “Did you find that pin in the desk?” Duncan asked Bryson.

Lt Rhodes, CSO

Mado held up a silver bag. “This bag is specially lined with a neutralizing agent that will deactivate the pin. Then we’ll have to put the pin under containment to ensure it doesn’t reactivate.”

GM

“Still have a couple more drawers to search.” Commander Erin replied as he closed one of the drawers after not finding the pin in there. “It’s hard to believe that this sort of thing exists…” Bryson said aloud. He always thought fairy tales were fiction, but here they were searching for a pin to deactivate the water welding broom.

Erin
Operations

Erin bumped into something in the room, and a distinct “ploop” noise was made into the water. Judging by the noise, whatever Erin bumped into, the pin had fell into the water.

GM

“For the love of....” Bryson muttered when he spotted the pin submerged in the water. “I’ve found it!” He exclaimed. The Operations Chief bent down and felt around the deck since the mini waves he was creating from moving had relocated the pin.

“Here we go, Mado.” Commander Erin said once he was able to pick the pin up out of the water.

Erin
Operations

Mado promptly put the pin into the bag. The pin sparked wildly from inside the bag and the sparks died down. The broom sucked into the portal, and the portal disappeared. All that remained was the soapy water. “We’ll need to store this water in cargo containers for the time being. It may have unknown metaphysical properties and the transporters might have difficulty transporting it. Pumping the water into containers would be the best approach. That is my recommendation, Commander,” said Mado.
