[ Leanna - Dining Car] For a moment Leanna seemed to space out after feeling an unexpected jolt, almost as if she was no longer in the present as her abilities almost overloaded with the sudden feeling of fear, pain and death. Lea had experienced that kind of terror many times as lives were extinguished without warning or with the chance to escape. This was more and in stereo compared to the tragedy of Rani's passing and she had to fight to clear her head as the echoes of the dead joined that of her Employee. A single tear began to fall as the Betazoid attempted to process it all and what it meant, until she sensed a familiarity, one that was intent on hurting others, as well as a sense of purpose that he was doing this for the greater good. That's when realisation kicked in about how he was responsible and what he had done. " I can sense another Betazoid, I believe he's the one responsible for all of this .... he's killed others and he's moving away from us" she said her voice still sounding distant, but knew she had to tell the others. However as she finished speaking, she heard a hacking sound and quickly ascertained who it was coming from. Watching in horror as Left Ear's paws went to her throat, before she looked at Lea with her fur puffing out and attempting to reach for the medkit. " Left Ear stay with me" she pleaded as she dropped to her level and picked up the medkit, then opened it, unsure what to pick up first. " Sven, help me".******************* [ Nix - Lounge Car] Nix had dutifully moved out of the way for Kova as the Andorian then successfully attempted to find the arch. Relieved that she had found it, along with the blame being pointed to someone else for all of this and not have it aimed at the Blue Beta. However that still didn't make it right as Chloe then began to gasp for air, before vomiting. Seeing that and feeling helpless scared Nix, because she didn't want anyone else to die, before the Doctor and Kova rushed to help her, before almost being knocked to her feet by an unexpected jolt and hearing the Doctor shout about the beef. Nix wondered what the hell was going on, until Kova revealed that they had to end the story, a possible culprit and how something was counting down and the time frame they had to resolve it. " I don't know much about this story but surely we need to catch the culprit or the very least stop what's counting down ........... wait what if it's a bomb?" Nix offered with slight terror in her voice. ******************* [ Alex - Dining Car] The unexpected jolt followed by chaos in the kitchen had led to Alex almost dropping what was left of the cured Turkish beef. Finding himself having to dodge plates, cutlery and everything else that had crashed to the floor, before managing to get out, still holding his precious cargo. Then the Server, rushed through and towards the dining car, just as he heard the Doctor shout out and Nix mentioning something about a bomb. However he didn't say anything about that just yet as he rushed over to Alec, who was now tending to Chloe. " Sorry it took so long, we had some trouble in the kitchen but I've got the beef, luckily I was able to save it" He explained as he placed the platter down in front of Alec and stepped back, hoping that Chloe would be okay and looked towards Nix.

[Chloe Hudson - Lounge Car]The bartender seemed nervous, and even seemed to be concerned she was a suspect. All this investigating, and the pressure the young ensign felt seemed to be stressing her out, she started to feel a headache. Odd, she had never gotten stress headaches before. Chloe was concerned for what this could mean in the future if she was given more responsibility, but for now, that wasn't something she could afford to worry about. "It's possible someone managed to get into your..." she was starting to feel a little dizzy, "Sorry...Someone might have gotten into your stock its...uh...it doesn't mean its your...your fault," Chloe went to grab the tricorder off the doctor but Kova took it and started mumbling something, though Chloe couldn't really hear, her headache was getting worse. She followed Kova, though it was difficult, she was dizzy. What was going on? "I..." she was panting and gasping for air, "Have...codes," she was not alright, and it had finally clicked, or at least she had accepted what it was. "I...had the caviar," she said to Kova, her eyes and tone clearly conveying that she was scared. She suddenly and violently began to retch, throwing up in front of the bar counter. Was she going to die? Here? Like this? ["PHOENIX" - First Class Sleeping Car #1]It not only took training and powerful meditation to master the Dolbargy sleeping trance, but also, in most cases, bravery. The humanoid called Phoenix was not brave in the traditional sense of the word. What he had was clarity of vision and the certainty that he would achieve it. There was nothing to stop him. Not the Andorian pawing around, trying to find signs of life, nor the young Intelligence officer who had removed the wailing idiot from his presence, nor, it seemed, the doctor who barely spared him a glance. One of the Security personnel had even taken the time to imprison all of the other guests into the one car, and had actually locked it. So very considerate. His hand, once lifeless, slid inside the pocket of his suit pants and wrapped around the small, cold device. His finger pressed and suddenly, he was gone. And then he was on his feet. Without wasting any further time he dropped the miniature, site-to-site transporter and stomped on it, removed his jacket, his bowtie and reached a hand beneath the ornate bed for the rest of his secreted effects. From a unassuming canvas pack he pulled his weapon of choice, and a handheld transceiver. He exited the VIP room and began to dispatch of any stragglers that the over-zealous Security crewman had seemingly missed. He would have preferred to take his time with them, but alas, there was no time to educate them in the glory of the Great Design. Understanding would soon come to them all, though, he reminded himself, no matter how they met their end. The one called Phoenix, his clothes covered in the blood of the guests in the sleeping car, stood in the center of it and smiled at a face that had appeared in the window of the locked car before him. He even waved. He was a little jealous; they were all in for such a treat. His fingers tapped a short code into the transceiver and mere nanoseconds later, a large crash sounded, followed by debris shooting away from the train car doors. The explosive he had planted on the old-fashioned coupler between his car and the one in front had been detonated, separating him from the others. He waved again as the rest of the train, carrying the rest of the people, sped away. But he wasn't finished his work yet. No, it was time for the grand finale. [Alec Trenzal - Lounge Car] Alec grumbled in irritation as the Andorian took the tricorder from him. We need that...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? he yelled as she began taking the device apart. Then he didn't have time to worry about it as the young woman, whom he thought might be with security, began to vomit. He dove for her, rather like Left Ear had for Reddington earlier, but not nearly as quickly or effectively. He scrambled closer, only to be knocked from his feet as there was a heavy jolt to the car. Muttering curses, Alec stood again and made his way to Chloe's side. Come on, he said, as soothingly as he could manage under the circumstances. Sit here against the bar and lean over. I know it's awful, but vomiting is the best thing for you right now.
I need some of that cured beef, now! he shouted. Alec didn't know where the waiter had gotten to. [ Kova Sh'qaleq - Lounge Car, Orient Express, Front Ear Station] Kova turned to see if anyone had actually bothered to listen to what she was saying. Other than Dr. Death of course. He seemed pretty sore about the tricorder, but he clearly wasn't thinking big picture. As Kova's eyes fell upon Chloe, who had mentioned something about codes, it was quickly obvious that something was very much wrong. Kova wasn't even sure if the woman was completely coherent. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked. The only reply she got from Chloe was the intelligence officer mentioning that she had the caviar. "The cavi--" Kova's eyes widened immediately as the realization washed over her. She started to take a step towards the bar when the girl began to spew what looked to be her breakfast, lunch and dinner. "Whoa!" said Kova quickly taking a step back. She knew that this poison had to be ingested, but exactly how sure were they of that? Kova maintained a healthy distance as she tried to coach Harmon's sidepiece into a chair. That clearly wasn't happening. However, Alec made it towards her quickly enough to lower her as gently as possible to the floor. "Um, I can take it from here." There really wasn't a need to trouble Chloe for her access codes if she was pounding on Heaven's door. Kova was more than capable of bypassing the lockout. And surely, these were the sort of circumstances where such indiscretions could be overlooked. Kova's hand danced across the arch's panel at what looked like a blur. The image on the screen jumped from code to code, but it made perfect sense to Kova. "The changes to this program happened recently," the Andorian remarked as she continued to go through the code. "Safety protocols and comms to the main computer were overwritten." The Andorian grit her teeth. Typically people rerouted routines, but this was a hacked rush-job. There was no finesse to any of it. That made it even more difficult to correct. She continued to sift through the code until she found what she was looking for, the endgame protocols. Since she couldn't interrupt it with an emergency, then perhaps she could have the program run its course. She paused as she read through the code. "Dammit! We have to finish the story," Kova said. "Does someone know how this thing ends?"She waited for a response, but she had been hoping for a speedy one. Annoyed that it wasn't happening on her time table, Kova's attention returned to the screen. "First, let's thin the herd then," she stated. She made a few modifications and watched as several people in the room just vanished. Some of the holograms had been turned off. That was a start. Allowing her attention to return to the screen, she didn't get very far before she felt the train jerk slightly after what sounded like an explosion. "What the hell was that?!"The Andorian began to wonder if they were supposed to be trekking through some sort of warzone. Her eyes returned to the screen. This was the problem in front of her that she actually stood a chance at solving. "Okay... I can see all of our life signs... but this one is isolated." There were dots all aggregated with the exception of one. She looked in the direction that the explosion had come. "It's them."With still no idea what was happening, Kova clinched her first in frustration. What the hell was she supposed to do. The only way to stop the simulation was to finish it. A heavy sigh left her lips as she noticed something else... a counter. Though, it was counting backwards. Something's... counting down. I can't stop it, or slow it down. I can... I can speed it up." Kova looked around. She supposed Chloe would have been one to give advice, but that wasn't really an option while she was hocking her guts out. "Hey, someone want to weigh in?" she said raising her voice. "We can either sit with our thumbs up are asses for the next twenty minutes to logic it out, or we skip to the last page." She was hoping her raised voice would be heard by someone with authority... or pointy ears. Though, did the people like Chloe have twenty minutes? Besides, the bekh[fn]penis... it's not a term of endearment in this context[/fn] responsible for this was standing off in a lone car wanted those extra twenty minutes for something. Perhaps the smart move was to mess with his time table.

She'd missed her calling, in her opinion. Charlie stepped even further into the car, giving everything a precursory look, including the holographic workers. The Conductor, in the meantime, seemed happy enough to answer the savvy dame's questions. He'd obviously been programmed to be helpful. "The usual suspects, Madam," he told her as he picked up a large binder, filled with hundreds of stained, dog-eared paper pages. He licked his thumb and began leafing through them. "Myself, and the lads here. One of the servers brought us a spot of munch earlier, very considerate of him. Rani, his name is.""Wot 'bout tha other bloke, boss? The deadhead wot had the hard on for engines.""Oh, right. We get enthusiasts sometimes; they like to tour the lesser-seen parts of the train, like the cab, or the engine rooms." He flipped to the very last page and squinted as he read. "'Phoenix' is all he signed here," he said, and then tried to push the manifest into T'Laara's hands. Immediately thereafter, two things happened in quick succession. The first was the sight of the foreign, metallic disk-like device nestled atop the unused coals in the corner. The formerly green, static light began blinking red. "T'Laara..." Charlie muttered, and then began backing away. Then, the sound of an explosion, a rumble and a shake. "What in blazes!?" The Conductor threw his head out one of the windows, and with some disbelief, yelled, "The train's been separated!" When he pulled his head back in it was as pale as the sheets of his manifest. [ Ozu Saya - Dining Car --> Engine] Saya watched with concern as passengers panicked and tried to run away, as if there was anywhere to go on a moving train. Charlie Fox and the Vulcan female hadn't returned. It looked as if Shavan and Sir Doug were working out something, so Saya thought it best that she try to see what Charlie and T'Laara had learned from the train driver. As she started forward, there was a distant jolt that caused her to stumble slightly. Saya increased her pace and arrived at the engine car at a jog. Ms. Fox? What is happening here? There was some sort of jolt in the other cars, and more people are falling ill.[Sir Dugris "Doug" Zaman, MBE, PhD, JD, MBA, PE, RA - Dining Car, Orient Express]Sir Doug nodded with interest. An internal saboteur was an interesting element to consider. "Why don't we try to look at our connection closely?" he suggested. "They'd have to tamper with our uplink to the main computer to be able to do so much from the inside, I believe."With a few taps, he got them there. "Looks like a dampener at work. I've seen this from a lot of guerrilla groups, criminal outfits, and sometimes sovereign countries. And it can't be too far away, either," he noted. [ T’Laara - Driver’s Cab, Orient Express] “Rani? He was the first one who…” T’Laara gasped as the train rocked, and at the same moment she saw the metal device. Clutching the manifest, she looked at Charlie, thinking fast, wondering what to do. If this was really just a holonovel they’d open it and cut the right wire just in time. But in reality, she didn’t know what it was and they might not have time to find out. She looked to where the conductor was sticking his head out the window. The train was separated. To gain distance from this? “I think” she said stiffly, “someone should throw that out the window. Now.” The workers were closer, and couldn’t actually die. Focused as she was on the possibility of further danger, at first she barely registered the Starfleet officer’s entrance. When Ozu Saya asked what was going on, she gave part of the answer, but kept her eyes on the device and the workers. “Charlie found that device in here. Someone called Phoenix is likely responsible.”Tag Charlie Fox Ozu Saya ________ [ Shavan Th’zhaar - Dining Car, Orient Express] Shavan twitched his antennae in the direction of the sudden crash. Something more than poisoned food was happening. Which meant they had to get out of there- and had fortunately just found a potentially faster way to do it than editing the program. “Right, so have I.” Shavan responded when Doug said he’d seen this type of dampener before. Of course he didn’t mention that he’d learned most of this by using it in criminal outfits. "I’ll try to find it. Maybe we can use this to trace the connection and further narrow down the location.” If they could destroy it and take down the dampening field they'd be able to use the computer and communicate with the rest of the station. He took the PADD again and entered the commands necessary to do it. If it didn’t work they would just have to search.

She straightened her arm and pointed at the device, which was blinking even faster than before. "I think it's active."It was then that she turned toward the Conductor and his workers, believing they would be the safest option to handle the device, much like T'Laara had suggested. "So, which one of you has the best arm?"They all turned to look at each other, a mixture of shock and confusion written all over their faces. But before any of them could respond, they disappeared into thin air. "This just keeps getting better..." Charlie muttered, then threw her hands up, a signal that she was about to lose it, or give up. "Either of you know anything about explosive defusal?" She spun on her heel to look at the other two women, though her gaze caught on the open door that the Chief had stepped through, and into the car beyond. "Someone separated the rest of the train from these three cars. Is there any way we can separate the driver's cab?"

They'd all been thrown into these extreme circumstances together; there was no reason to be waspish. I'm sorry, I don't know much about that kind of tech. I'm just trying to do my best with no resources to save these people. The story... he paused to think for a moment. The protagonist was a detective who happened to be on the train when the murder happened, but what's happened here is really nothing like that story. It was one murder, if I recall correctly, and it was a conspiracy between multiple passengers. The detective did solve the crime in the end.Alex returned with the cured beef, and Alec returned his attention to Chloe. Thank you, Alec said perfunctorily, grabbing a roll of the beef.

Her vision was starting to go dark from lack of oxygen, but she jerked the medkit close enough to see.

[ Ozu Saya - Engine Car] No, don't! Saya interjected. Let me look at it. She crouched in front of the device, continuing, If this is as real as the poison, or even if the holodeck safeties have been disabled, which seems likely, throwing it off the train would do no good. We are actually in a relatively small room. The device...I don't believe it has a particularly large range, but it may be enough to destroy the holodeck and kill us all.
No tools, she growled. I wish George were here. He's much better at this.With extreme care, Saya used just her fingertips to gently twist the top of the device and lift it free. She blew out a heavy breath that fluttered her lips. I don't know if I can do this. It might be wiser to work on ending the program.

[ Leanna - Dining Car] There was still that lingering sense of loss, death and of course the possible danger of this other Betazoid realising that she knew about him. Whether she counted as a threat, she didn't know but even if she shut her mental barriers, there was still the chance of him using that against her. However she had more pressing matters to deal with as Sven answered her call for help. Watching as the Security Officer joined her beside Left Ear and immediately put her in a position so she wouldn't choke. Leanna was definitely glad of his help as she had naturally panicked, especially after the mental assault that she had experienced. So when he then asked for Adenvitgen and what dose he thought she would need, Leanna was about to look in the medkit for it when Left Ear shook her head and pulled it close to her instead. The Betazoid realised that not only did the Sivaoan accidentally catch Sven but had also took out the drug that she needed. " Sven, look that must be the one we have to use and quickly as she's passed out" she said, her voice still full of concern as she approached the Sivaoan and carefully took the epinephrine from her paw and loaded up the hypo. Then she administered the hypo hoping that they hadn't been to late. " Now we wait".******************** [ Alex - Lounge Car] Alex nodded when Alec thanked him for the beef and took some, in order to get Chloe to eat some of it and now understood why he had asked for it. The Musician could only hope that it would work as he was then asked to help the other woman who was now shivering. Having something to do was definitely better than just standing there, waiting to see what happened with this potential bomb so answered Alec quickly. " Certainly Doc".Alex then went over to a couple of tables and expertly removed the tablecloths from them, then knelt down beside the other woman and wrapped them over her, tucking them in so as to cover her up properly.

[Charlie Fox - Driver's Cab, Orient Express]"This Phoenix, one of the passengers, came in for a tour of the cab. Wanted to get up close and personal with the engines," Charlie added to T'Laara's explanation, her eyes not once leaving the pile of coal that had been hiding what could only be a bomb. She straightened her arm and pointed at the device, which was blinking even faster than before. "I think it's active."It was then that she turned toward the Conductor and his workers, believing they would be the safest option to handle the device, much like T'Laara had suggested. "So, which one of you has the best arm?"They all turned to look at each other, a mixture of shock and confusion written all over their faces. But before any of them could respond, they disappeared into thin air. "This just keeps getting better..." Charlie muttered, then threw her hands up, a signal that she was about to lose it, or give up. "Either of you know anything about explosive defusal?" She spun on her heel to look at the other two women, though her gaze caught on the open door that the Chief had stepped through, and into the car beyond. "Someone separated the rest of the train from these three cars. Is there any way we can separate the driver's cab?"

Sir Doug then took the little creature in his arms and gently stroked her fluffy back. "Here, PooDoo PooDoo PooDoo. It's okay, Pood. It's okay," he reassured the small ball of fur before setting her down. "We can try to trace the connection, certainly," he agreed with Shavan, having released the animal. "We only really have one axis to explore, so all we need to do is walk and see where the connection gets weaker. No need for triangulation or anything clever."Sir Doug could have tried to find it in 3-dimensional space, too, but the de-facto one-dimensionality of the train just made things simpler.

[ Left Ear to-Ennien - Dining Car] Left Ear pawed at Sven's hand, a claw nicking him accidentally. She started to shake her head at the hypo he'd suggested, then changed her mind and waved it toward herself. Her vision was starting to go dark from lack of oxygen, but she jerked the medkit close enough to see. Just before passing out, she hooked a tube of epinephrine, clutching it in her paw as she collapsed to the floor.

But how would he really hope to escape, outside of the holodeck?”[ Charlie Fox - Driver's Cab, Orient Express] I'm going to die.Charlie listened as the person in charge took the opportunity to lecture them on how the holodeck worked, even though the Conductor and the Engineers, the people T'Laara had suggested handle the device for safety reasons, had vanished. Charlie seemed to be the only one concerned that the holograms were gone. "Okay," she said, doubt obvious in her voice at the Chief's suggestion. I'm going to die here with all of these Fleeters."If you think you can end this program before that bomb goes off, please, be my guest." Maybe she knew something they didn't? Still grossly dissatisfied, Charlie turned toward T'Laara and gestured for the Vulcan to follow her offside a little, giving the engineer space to work, but also giving them a little privacy. "I think we should prepare to detach the driver's cab. Just in case, y'know," she waved vaguely behind her toward the flickering device, "That doesn't work. It's possible that this Phoenix person is prepared to die with us all, but I think it might be logical to presume he has an exit strategy. Otherwise why separate the train in the first place?" There had already been an explosive used to separate the cars, without a tricorder to tell them otherwise, Charlie thought it made sense to assume this device was of a similar nature with a similar yield. She pulled open the cab door and peered down at the coupling, and felt instantly overwhelmed. "Just in case," she muttered, glancing behind her to check on the Chief's progress.

[ Nix - Lounge Car] Nix had dutifully moved out of the way for Kova as the Andorian then successfully attempted to find the arch. Relieved that she had found it, along with the blame being pointed to someone else for all of this and not have it aimed at the Blue Beta. However that still didn't make it right as Chloe then began to gasp for air, before vomiting. Seeing that and feeling helpless scared Nix, because she didn't want anyone else to die, before the Doctor and Kova rushed to help her, before almost being knocked to her feet by an unexpected jolt and hearing the Doctor shout about the beef. Nix wondered what the hell was going on, until Kova revealed that they had to end the story, a possible culprit and how something was counting down and the time frame they had to resolve it. " I don't know much about this story but surely we need to catch the culprit or the very least stop what's counting down ........... wait what if it's a bomb?" Nix offered with slight terror in her voice. ******************* [ Alex - Dining Car] The unexpected jolt followed by chaos in the kitchen had led to Alex almost dropping what was left of the cured Turkish beef. Finding himself having to dodge plates, cutlery and everything else that had crashed to the floor, before managing to get out, still holding his precious cargo. Then the Server, rushed through and towards the dining car, just as he heard the Doctor shout out and Nix mentioning something about a bomb. However he didn't say anything about that just yet as he rushed over to Alec, who was now tending to Chloe. " Sorry it took so long, we had some trouble in the kitchen but I've got the beef, luckily I was able to save it" He explained as he placed the platter down in front of Alec and stepped back, hoping that Chloe would be okay and looked towards Nix. [Callista Maybourne, aka The Dead Dying Banshee - Lounge Car, Orient Express]Callista Maybourne was aware that she was awake and that her body seemed to want to turn itself inside-out. She just wanted it to end. Her stomach purged and purged, and kept going even though there was nothing left inside of her. She began to shake violently again as her body went into shock. [Chloe Hudson - Orient Express]
Chloe had no idea what was going on. Suddenly she was knocked off her feet at the car shook. As she got back up again followed the Doc's orders and sat against the bar, continuing to vomit profusely. She kept looking back to Kova and the Doc, desperate for help, though she was struggling to focus on what was going on as she became more disoriented and her head continued to spin. [ [Alec Trenzal - Lounge Car] Alec took a deep breath and looked up at the Andorian, most of his rancor melting away. They'd all been thrown into these extreme circumstances together; there was no reason to be waspish. I'm sorry, I don't know much about that kind of tech. I'm just trying to do my best with no resources to save these people. The story... he paused to think for a moment. The protagonist was a detective who happened to be on the train when the murder happened, but what's happened here is really nothing like that story. It was one murder, if I recall correctly, and it was a conspiracy between multiple passengers. The detective did solve the crime in the end.Alex returned with the cured beef, and Alec returned his attention to Chloe. Thank you, Alec said perfunctorily, grabbing a roll of the beef. Miss? he said, gently gripping the back of her neck with one hand. I know this is going to be bad, but I need you to try to eat as much of this as you can. You're probably going to keep throwing up, but we have to get some of this down you. The curing process uses a chemical that could help neutralize the poison. I'm sorry to do this to you.It was going to be awful for Chloe, but there was no other way to get the sodium nitrite into her. He noticed the other woman beginning to shake and added to Alex, Could you get a couple of table cloths and cover her up?[ Alex - Lounge Car] Alex nodded when Alec thanked him for the beef and took some, in order to get Chloe to eat some of it and now understood why he had asked for it. The Musician could only hope that it would work as he was then asked to help the other woman who was now shivering. Having something to do was definitely better than just standing there, waiting to see what happened with this potential bomb so answered Alec quickly. " Certainly Doc".Alex then went over to a couple of tables and expertly removed the tablecloths from them, then knelt down beside the other woman and wrapped them over her, tucking them in so as to cover her up properly. [ Kova Sh'qaleq - Orient Express] Time was ticking... people seemed to be getting sicker... and no one had a frickin' clue about the plot of this stupid book. Sure, the El-Aurian knew something about the book, but if ever there was a time to share spoilers, it was when they were facing the potential end of their lives. As much as that point needed to be made, Kova didn't believe she had the time to make it. Besides, the last thing she wanted was for the rebuttal to be some boring-ass story that took place over three centuries ago. That seemed to suggest that this decision was hers and hers alone to make. Her eyes looked upon the timer again. She watched as each second ticked off the counter. A bomb. It could be a bomb. Though, why a timer if it was a bomb? It was a human fault. They simply loved to watch their mortality tick away. Yet, what if it was something else? Would it make any real difference? And did the fact that some of the holographic characters mean anything? The Andorian knew that she could sit there and second guess herself the entire night. The result would be the same: she'd have a decision to make. "F@#k it," Kova said as her fingers to push the timer from it's nigh twenty minutes and diminished the time on the counter as much as she could, effectively activating the endgame protocols. Kova swallowed, and closed her eyes. The sole consolation, at least they wouldn't suffer long.... ... unless it released some sort of nerve agent into the atmosphere. F@#K!!!
It seemed fate would have it's way after all.

But how would he really hope to escape, outside of the holodeck?”[ Charlie Fox - Driver's Cab, Orient Express] I'm going to die.Charlie listened as the person in charge took the opportunity to lecture them on how the holodeck worked, even though the Conductor and the Engineers, the people T'Laara had suggested handle the device for safety reasons, had vanished. Charlie seemed to be the only one concerned that the holograms were gone. "Okay," she said, doubt obvious in her voice at the Chief's suggestion. I'm going to die here with all of these Fleeters."If you think you can end this program before that bomb goes off, please, be my guest." Maybe she knew something they didn't? Still grossly dissatisfied, Charlie turned toward T'Laara and gestured for the Vulcan to follow her offside a little, giving the engineer space to work, but also giving them a little privacy. "I think we should prepare to detach the driver's cab. Just in case, y'know," she waved vaguely behind her toward the flickering device, "That doesn't work. It's possible that this Phoenix person is prepared to die with us all, but I think it might be logical to presume he has an exit strategy. Otherwise why separate the train in the first place?" There had already been an explosive used to separate the cars, without a tricorder to tell them otherwise, Charlie thought it made sense to assume this device was of a similar nature with a similar yield. She pulled open the cab door and peered down at the coupling, and felt instantly overwhelmed. "Just in case," she muttered, glancing behind her to check on the Chief's progress.

She remained unconscious, though. A scan with the tricorder would reveal that the poison is still in her system and may trigger another anaphylactic reaction if not purged.

[ Commodore Calvin Perry - Ops] Having left his office and the remaining paperwork behind some time ago, Perry had moved into the heart of the station. As much as he enjoyed the solitude in being alone, the temptation to drink had never completely left him and as such, there was no better distraction than being amongst his crew whenever the desire became to strong. So every thing seemed pretty normal and tedious if he was to think that way, although he welcomed it, especially since welcoming several ships to Front Ear. However it seemed that the quiet was about to become a distant memory when a call came in from Sir Doug, someone who Perry was familar with, from his last foray with the Mac. Listening as he was told to standby before the Ops officer informed him what was happening and that they would try to shut it down from here. This was very bad and unexpected considering what should of been a nice fun evening for everyone but Perry quickly sprung into action as he issued a further order. " Good thinking, let's see what we can do at our end to help, also have teams sent to the holodeck immediately to assist and tell Sickbay to be on standby to receive those affected".Now wasn't the time for sitting as Perry got to his feet and waited for news.

[ Leanna - Dining Car] As she sat there beside Left Ear, anxiously waiting to see if the drug that she had adminstered would work or not, Leanna could feel her link with the man so interested in their demise begin to slip away. Although that was no fault of her own as her focus lay elsewhere, especially with the hub of activity going on around her and the emotions of those within her immediate vicinity. One such person to display guilt was Sven as the muscled security officer shared his concern about Left Ear and what if he had caused more damage by given her the wrong shot. Then there was the fear, the determination to end this and if she was losing the man with such intrigue and danger, then there was nothing she could do as the Betazoid turned to Sven. " We don't know that Sven and we had to do something" Leanna said reassuringly before her attention moved to Left Ear as the Sivaoan gasped and began breath. Okay it was shallow and she didn't like how her tongue was lolling out but still, it gave them some hope. " Look it's working ... I'll scan her and see what's going on" Lea offered, picking up the tricorder, hoping she understood it enough as she pointed it at Left Ear. " If I'm reading this right, there's still poison in her system, we need to purge it somehow before she has another reaction to it".************************ [ Nix & Alex - Lounge Car] Both serving staff remained in their respective spots, Alex with the fallen woman from earlier and Nix beside the bar as Kova took matters into her own hands. Not that either of them blamed the Andorian for doing so and now it became a matter of waiting to see whether they survived this or if they were about to welcome Death's sweet embrace.

She gave Chief Ozu a quick nod, a reassurance as well as a confirmation that she was ready, before her eyes landed on T'Laara's.

As much as that point needed to be made, Kova didn't believe she had the time to make it. Besides, the last thing she wanted was for the rebuttal to be some boring-ass story that took place over three centuries ago. That seemed to suggest that this decision was hers and hers alone to make. Her eyes looked upon the timer again. She watched as each second ticked off the counter. A bomb. It could be a bomb. Though, why a timer if it was a bomb? It was a human fault. They simply loved to watch their mortality tick away. Yet, what if it was something else? Would it make any real difference? And did the fact that some of the holographic characters mean anything? The Andorian knew that she could sit there and second guess herself the entire night. The result would be the same: she'd have a decision to make. "F@#k it," Kova said as her fingers to push the timer from it's nigh twenty minutes and diminished the time on the counter as much as she could, effectively activating the endgame protocols. Kova swallowed, and closed her eyes. The sole consolation, at least they wouldn't suffer long.... ... unless it released some sort of nerve agent into the atmosphere. F@#K!!!
It seemed fate would have it's way after all. She never got to jump. Charlie felt an unseen force that knocked her off her feet, though she landed on the floor of an inactive holodeck floor. She groaned as some pain bloomed in her lower back, but she forced herself to roll her body over, keen to see her companions. There were people everywhere. The train had disappeared, and left behind were a number of lifeless bodies, along with the wide-eyed, too-shocked faces of civilians, crewmen and officers all standing around in clusters of various sizes. Somewhere, beyond the ringing in Charlie's ears, someone who sounded important was making orders. The sick and injured dematerialised from the holodeck, while teams of officers began to filter inside. Later, they would find no sign of the one called Phoenix.
