Let's kick off the story:

"EMERGENCY LIGHTS!" barked Captain Voleron, as the discharge from the passing ion storm violently shook the USS Stonewall, knocking transporter officer @calx off his feet, and causing the occipital portion of his head to hit the transporter control panel, rendering him unconscious on the iron cold deck. An electrical surge passed through the console, sparking the previously malfunctioning transporter eerily to life...

The transporter beam lit up the now darkened room and a figure began to materialise on the pad. It was none other than @jspectre dressed only in his....

... an amphibian monster with horrible fangs! The puncture marks from which fresh blood was still spraying had similarities to Gorn dental distributions, but the fangs in his back cut way deeper, and besides there was an ominous purple discolouration around it... Almost as the flesh had a life of its own now.

...realizing that, as a spectre, a little blood spray isn't really a problem, so much as a mess someone else will have to clean up, as it's really hard to use a mop when one is non-corporeal. Armed with this new knowledge, @JSpectre realized his haunting abilities had probably just been greatly improved, as spurting blood everywhere is orders of magnitude spookier than just running around saying "boo," and he was anxious to test it out.

...He looked around for his first victim...spotting @Saintplazma in the corner of the room...the phased beast flew through the air with little resistance two voices cried out at once
"Run...."
"I'm coming for you..."

The @JSpectre spectre flew toward @Saintplazma in fury, knocking @calx over yet again.
A security team burst through the doors phasers in hand, the spectre turned to them.. "your foolish weapons cannot harm me".. and with that the spectre grabbed the nearest person to hand and within a split second projectile vomited all over....

... The screaming came out of the lung of the spectre's victim and silent. He turned slowly to look at the next victim....

... @trick who reached for his mighty big n thicc phaser...when all of a sudden, something stirred inside the spectre and he rushed towards the guest quarters....where there was a birthday cake upon the table...labelled with "Gelukkige verjaardag, ik hoop je vork op te eten" in frosting...

In hot pursuit to @Lars_Zandor's quarters the security team ran...
Phasers drawn, had @Fleur_Kittyfops and @Balduranne.

Lars's birthday party was in full swing,
And just as the security team entered, from the cake, jumped that @JSpectre thing!

@calx had been trailing Anna and Kittyfops close behind,
Somewhat dizzied from his many falls, and in an awful state of mind.

When from the cake, the spectre sprang,
Cal was yet again knocked over, hitting the deck with a monstrous bang!
