Mission: Nebulous
Location: USS Albion & Shuttle Craft
Timeline: Current

ON:

{Shuttle Craft}

Sprague: ::big smile on his face:: "Any second now I'll be out of this blasted Star Fleet holodeck program."

{USS Albion, Bridge}

Genno: "No dice, Commander. The computer picked right back up where it left off... running wild... and radiating."

Hadden: "Commander, we have no choice but to shut it down again, before there's irreversible damage. We'll have to get Captain Sprague later."

Andrews: "Agreed. Lt. Genno, make it so. Shut it down." ::turns to Ensign Mack:: "What is it, Ensign?"

Mack: ::Post 'Mack to XO f2f'::

Spivick: ::exits the turbo lift:: "Well, I've got sickbay ready. Would someone please tell me what's going on?" ::notices Mack:: "Ensign Mack, I thought you said you were in sickbay, what gives?"

{Shuttle Craft}

Sprague: "Any... any second now." ::smile begins to fade as he gets farther and farther away from the Albion::

{USS Albion, Bridge}

Genno: "Commander, we're unable to shut down the computer core this time! We've got 7 minutes to irrecoverable damage."

Andrews: "What?!?"

{Shuttle Craft}

Sprague: ::smile is almost completely gone; taps the console in front of him to make sure it's still there and real:: "How big can this program be?"

{USS Albion, Bridge}

Hadden: "Commander, if we can't shut down the computer, even manually, maybe we can figure out what's causing it to run all these calculations?"

Andrews: "Do it. And hurry."

OFF:

It's getting dicey!
