OFF: You are all doing an excellent job. Let's just see what kind of 
trouble the Captain can make.

ON: {Bridge, Uss Excalibur}

McCloud: Number One I am going down to Engineering and take a look 
at what is going on here. You know me its the Engineer in me and 
nothing is going to harm my ship! Call me the minute anything 
happens here. :::: Exits the bridge and on his way to 
engineering::: 

Tolbin: Aye Sir. I know how you are. 

::: Mac just turns and gives a slight smile to Tolbin:::: 

McCloud: "Main Engineering." ::Mac says to the lift computer and it 
starts the trip to engineering. As he waits, he starts to feel dizzy.
A strange array of flashing lights appear before his eyes. He is 
enveloped by the lights. Then, it is as if he is only a spectator, 
with no control over his body. He feels the lift stop, sees the 
doors open and feels himself leaving the lift. He is heading for 
engineering, but it is like he is just along for the ride. He can 
sense the presence of someone or something else, but can't seem to 
communicate with this other entity. He approches engineering and 
meets a crewman leaving.::

Crewman: "Captain. Are you alright sir? You don't look well."

McCloud/entity: "I am fine, crewman. Continue with your duties."

Crewman: "Aye sir."

::Mac tries to say something to the crewman. Tries to tell him that 
there is indeed something wrong with him. As his body continues 
under the control of this unknown entity, Mac's mind screams for 
help. But no one can hear him.::

OFF: Well, I sure hope someone can help thier Captain out of this 
predicament. If anyone can even tell that something is wrong. 

Captain Steven McCloud
Commanding Officer
USS Excalibur NCC-2997
