CMO_Qui says:
:: In sickbay making sure all is ready ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::on the Klingon freighter's bridge::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::in his ready room trying to not pace::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::On the bridge at the operations console.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::In science the lab running tests.::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Nods to her staff and leaves sickbay headed for Cargo Bay 1 ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::noticing the security officers guarding over all the entrances to the bridge, he approaches the captain's chair::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters the turbo lift ::   Turbo lift: Cargo Bay 1
Host Rich says:
Action: The AT find the bridge in total mess beams have fallen across consoles rendering them incapable of getting any info out of them.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::kneels to pass under one of the fallen beams::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift stop and exits onto deck 4 as soon as the doors open ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::gets up and moves to the replicator and starts to order a blood wine, but then remembering where he is:: Replicator: Coffee, double strong.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@All : Well, this is a mess...
XO_Amendoeira says:
@All : Can any of you spot an active console?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters Cargo Bay 1 and motions to Doctor Dennis Han ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::hears each of the security members reply negatively::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Adjusts the power output on the comm. relays.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::takes the cup as it shimmers into existence and sips at the hot and slightly bitter liquid...  strolls out onto the bridge, coffee in hand::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Converses quietly with Dr. Han, nodding approvingly ::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Finishes her conversation and leaves Cargo Bay 1 headed towards the bridge ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::walks over to OPS, about to ask for an update, but knows he asked for one just 10 minutes ago, so he just looks over her shoulder for a moment::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters the turbo lift ::    Turbo lift: Bridge.   :: Rubs a still tender spot on her arm ::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  Nothing has changed Sir..  ::looks up at him.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::taps his comm. badge:: *CO* : Captain... The freighter's bridge is completely destroyed...
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods, and chastises himself for being too obvious, heads for that darned center chair::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*CO* : We're picking up Klingon... ::raises eyebrow:: .. and human blood all around.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow and sees the doors open to the bridge. Steps out and to the side of the lift a moment ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stops in his tracks::  *XO*: Human?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Catches part of the conversation from the XO and perks her ears for more information ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*CO* : Yeah.. I know.. I'm going to prepare a few samples for our good doctor to analyze.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns around:: OPS: Do we have a crew manifest on that ship?
CSO_Biishe says:
Hmmm... Odd.  ::Frowns::  *CO*:  Captain, I have some information for you, but it doesn't quite make sense.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Good.  Have you been able to access the computer?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  I can look for one Sir..  I'm not sure if the Klingon High Command will give it to us though.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::takes several samples of the Klingon and human blood and stores them in sterile containers::
CMO_Qui says:
CO: Have those sent directly to sickbay, sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods at OPS to start looking::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Begins to compose a message to be sent to the Klingon home world.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: One moment Commander.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Sends the message and waits for them to reply.::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Turns towards the turbo lift and enters when the doors swoosh open ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@ *CO* : Afraid not, sir... The consoles are all dead here. I think we'll need to reach the central computer core in order to do anything of a sort. Even on the way here we did not find any working consoles.
CMO_Qui says:
Turbo lift: Deck 12
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Understood.  Keep at it.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::takes his seat and a sip of coffee::  *CSO*: Okay Commander, I'm ready for you.  Go ahead please.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow and impatiently awaits for the doors to open ::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Hands the sample to McMer::  SO McMer: Her, run a spectrometer test on this sample.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::taps his comm. badge:: *CMO* : Doctor... I have a few samples for you to analyze... The container is awaiting transport.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Sees the doors open to deck 8 as another crewman enters the lift ::
CMO_Qui says:
*XO*: Send those directly to sickbay, Commander. I'm on my way there now
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow again and sees the doors open to deck 12.  Exits the lift and heads towards sickbay ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*CMO* : Alright... *OPS* : Mushgrave... Can you beam the blood samples directly to sickbay, please?
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*:  Captain, the sample we have  the signature of Romulans.  However it is several months old.  All of these show the degradation to be a couple of months old.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*CSO*:   Locking on now Ma'am...  ::Her hand slides up the console and she locks onto the samples and beams them to sickbay.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Were you able to find anything recent?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters sickbay just as the samples materialize on a biobed ::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Walks towards the bio bed, scoops up the samples and heads to the closest lab ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::motions for the security officers to move out, heading for the computer core housing room::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Takes the data from McMer, thanking him.::  *CO*:  We have Klingon, Ferengi, Breen as well.  This ship has seen some unusual battles.  However, nothing seems to be recent.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: So you are telling me that you have nothing.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Carefully turns out one sample handing the others to another doctor ::   Dr. Lau: Please prepare these for analysis...
CSO_Biishe says:
::Grumbles::  *CO*:  I hate to use that term, but basically... yea.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Looks at her console.:: *CSO*:  Ma'am.. you have a message from Qo'nos.  I'm patching it through.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::passes through several corridors, all with collapsed beams and holes in the walls::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Places the sample on the table and activates the computer ::   Computer: Analysis of sample...from what species is this from?
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: Understood.  ::closes the channel then grumbles::
CSO_Biishe says:
*OPS*:  Thanks...
CSO_Biishe says:
::Reads::  Hmmm... what the?  Not good...
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Science has run up empty on determining the attacker.  It’s all up to what you find in the computer core, Commander.
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer>: The sample is from a Klingon/Human hybrid
CSO_Biishe says:
<SO McMer> CSO:  Ma'am?
CSO_Biishe says:
SO McMer:  A reason maybe.
CMO_Qui says:
Computer: Is this blood from the Klingon/Human?
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer>CMO: Yes
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*: I finally got a response from Qo'nos.  I don't think you are going to like it.
CMO_Qui says:
Computer: Can you determine how long ago this sample came from the Klingon/Human?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sits back in his chair:: *CSO*: Well, why have good news follow bad... go ahead.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::sighs:: *CO* : From the looks of this freighter, sir.. I don't think I’m going to have any better results... ::keeps going forward, heading for the computer core::
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer>CMO: The sample is several days old
CMO_Qui says:
:: Thinks a moment ::   Computer: Are there any oddities in the blood sample?  Alien bodies, etc?
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*:I have the crew and cargo list.  The crew consisted of 100 individuals, including 7 humans.  The cargo... was the byproduct of many corrosive and volatile chemicals.  From their chemical compositions, combined, they would create a rather large explosion.  Also a footnote from them.  They ask that when we are done, that we destroy the ship.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::turns a bend, and looks at a blown door, marked in Klingon "Computer core"::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Hears the computer whirl... ::  <Computer>: There are no alien bodies present in the sample.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO*: There were a hundred hands aboard and now we can't find a single body?  No, I don't like that at all Commander... not at all.
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Let the Doctor now about the 7 humans that were present on the ship.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::  Computer: Are you telling me the blood is clean of alien microbes and the like?  It's just Klingon/Human blood?
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::walks through the blown door, and watches the debris of a Klingon computer core::::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Turns and nods.:: CO:  Aye Sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::finishes his coffee and sets the empty cup on the chair to his left::
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer>CMO: Correct. There are not foreign bodies found in the sample
Host Rich says:
Action: as the XO enters the computer core he finds one little console with power running the life support and it is getting weaker all the time.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Taps her console::  *CMO*:  Doctor.. The captain wanted you to know that there were 7 humans aboard.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Self: Okay, a bunch of dead ends... let's just hope the Commander can coax something out of that computer.
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*:  My concern, is the explosive material as well.  It might be why the ship was attacked.  And it is beginning to look like an inside job, not an outside one.
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::shakes his head:: *CO* : Sir... We've come up empty... The freighter's computer core is destroyed. ::moves to pick up one of the computer's fragments:: And I don't think any part of it is salvageable
CMO_Qui says:
:: Hears OPS ::   OPS: Thank you, Julie.  Is a crew manifest available?  I'm looking to see if there were any Klingon/Human hybrids
Host CO_Bafii says:
::pounds a fist on the side of his chair::  *XO*: Understood.  Salvage anything that might be useful and return to the ship immediately.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
*CMO*:  You'd have to as Cmdr Biishe.. the message was sent to her.
CMO_Qui says:
Computer: Place sample on screen and show DNA structure
CMO_Qui says:
*OPS*: Thank you.   *CSO*: Commander, I understand you have a crew manifest.  Are there any Klingon/Human hybrids listed?
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::notices the powered equipment running the environmental controls. It is flickering badly however..::
CSO_Biishe says:
*CMO*:  It does not mention any... let me send you the list.
CMO_Qui says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Commander
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*CO* : Alright.. We're heading back to the shuttle sir... The environmental control seems close to failing, so I’ll beam us all aboard the shuttle and return to the Paula Greene.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Separating the list, sends it to the CMO::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Sees the crew manifest arrive and looks at each carefully ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*Shuttle Computer* : Computer, lock onto as many life signs close to my signal and beam them aboard.
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: When the away team returns takes us to a safe distance and raise shields.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Hears the Capt and nods her head.::
CMO_Qui says:
Computer: Confirm...there are no antibodies of any kind that is foreign to this blood sample?
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer> CMO: Confirmed.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*CSO, CMO*: Report to the bridge in 5 minutes
CSO_Biishe says:
*CO*: On my way up.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Hears the CO's request ::   *CO*: Aye sir
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::watches several of the security members disappear::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@*Computer* : Alright.. Now beam the rest of the life signs near my location, including myself.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks over to Doctor Hamilton ::   Hamilton: Please continue with analysis.
CSO_Biishe says:
SO McMer:  Continue.  I don't think we will find much more, but even one atom might at least give us direction.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Stretches a moment then strides out of sickbay in route to the bridge ::

CSO_Biishe says:
<SO McMer>:  CSO:  On it...  I will also run some tests on the chemicals that were supposed to be on the ship.
CSO_Biishe says:
SO McMer:  Good...  I'll be on the bridge.  ::Slips out the doors.::
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton> Computer: Advise if this blood sample could be from two separate individuals
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer> Hamilton: The possibility of the sample coming from two separate individuals is highly likely 
Host Rich says:
Action: The AT materializes in the shuttle
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::re-materializes onboard the shuttle, and heads for the pilot's seat:: All : Alright.. Everyone to their sets, we're going home. ::starts detaching the umbilical between the shuttle and the freighter::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters the turbo lift ::   Turbo lift: Bridge
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton>: What is the percentage
CSO_Biishe says:
::Steps into the turbo lift::  Computer, bridge.
CMO_Qui says:
<Computer> Hamilton: 99.65%
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton> Computer: Separate the sample on the screen
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift slow and exits onto the bridge as the doors open ::
CSO_Biishe says:
::As the turbo lift stops, she steps off, not far behind the doctor.::
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton>:: Sees the sample separate into two...one sample Klingon, one sample Human ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
@::as soon as the umbilical is detached and free, he punches the shuttle's engines, and turns the ship heading for the Paula Greene::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Turns as the doors swoosh open and sees the CSO ::
CMO_Qui says:
CSO: Commander...   :: Nods ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches the Paula Greene grow on his screen, and starts making the turn to line up with the shuttlebay:: *OPS* : Paula Greene, This is shuttle Lusitania requesting landing clearance
Host Rich says:
Action: The shuttle leaves the freighter and lands in the shuttle bay on the Paula Greene.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stands as the women enter the bridge:: CMO: Doctor, do you have any more information?
CMO_Qui says:
CO: Only that currently the sample is several days old
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Raises shields and moves the ship back.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Do you have any evidence to back up your theory that this was an inside job?
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Well... all weapons fire is old.  Months old.  I haven't heard all of Tealks report, but it seems that every possible evidence has been destroyed.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods, thinking it over::
XO_Amendoeira says:
<remove my last>
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Report to the bridge immediately
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: And what do you think our next move should be?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::steps out of the shuttle:: *CO* : Aye sir... ::heads out of the shuttlebay, and catches the nearest TL::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Listens to the CO and CSO ::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Is it unusual to have 7 humans aboard a Klingon ship?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::recalls his time aboard Klingon vessels::  CSO: Somewhat, but not unheard of.
CMO_Qui says:
CO: Sir...I also found no indication of contagion, unless it is a new type that dissipates after the host is dead
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I was just thinking it unusual.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::as the doors open, steps out onto the bridge::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Hears the doors and turns seeing the XO return ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods as he sees the XO arrive::  XO: Bring the Bridge to attention, Commander.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Smiles at her husband:
Host CO_Bafii says:
::starts to head up the ramp to the rear area of the ship::
CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Was there any damage to the cargo bay?~~~~
XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles back to his wife:: ~~~CSO : Yeah.. some... That's what wounded the Good doctor... A falling beam in that cargo area~~~
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Aye sir...
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton>:: Carefully looks at the sample on the screen ::   Computer: Separate out from each a strand of DNA and enhance...
XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves to the OPS console:: OPS : Open a ship wide comm., please..
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton>:: Looks at the samples ::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Taps her console.::  XO: Opened Sir.
XO_Amendoeira says:
*Ship wide* : Crew of the Paula Greene... Atteeeennnxunnn" ::shrugs, and looks at the CO::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Considers::  ~~~~XO:  But not enough for a major explosion? Any sign of corrosion?~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stops behind the TAC console::  *Ship wide*: There is a Klingon freighter off our hull, sharing this space with us.  The crew of this vessel served her with honor, defending their ship many times from the advances of others, doing their duty for their Empire, for their friends and family.  We honor them and their sacrifice.  ::fires a torpedo at the freighter::
XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Hmmmm... It was an explosion that rocked the freighter, which brought the beam down.. I don't think there was any corrosion, no.~~~
CSO_Biishe says:
::Watches the flash on the view screen before it automatically kicks in to dim the flare.::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Closes her eyes a moment ::
Host Rich says:
Action: as the torpedo hits the freighter there is a massive explosion as the other chemicals ignite destroying the freighter completely.
CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Did you discover what caused the explosion?~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
::quietly says a few words in Klingon for the departed crew::  *Ship wide*: We now have our own duty, to find what happened to these honorable men and women.  Bafii out.  ::closes the channel::
XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : No.. We figured it to be a secondary explosion, due to the freighter's damage.~~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
::returns the TAC controls to the crewman and heads back down the ramp::  All: Options?
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton>:: Takes a moment, then resumes his analysis ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::raises an eyebrow as the Captain finishes his statement::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::shrugs:: CO : I'm stumped, sir..
CSO_Biishe says:
<SO McMer>* CSO*:  We found something interesting.
CSO_Biishe says:
*SO McMer*: What have you got for me?
CSO_Biishe says:
<SO McMer> *CSO*:  Sending to your station now.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::takes his seat, visibly not happy::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Walks over to her station, not being able to add anything more just yet, for the captain.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : If we had arrived here sooner, we might have picked up a warp trail heading away from here.
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Calculate a search pattern and get us underway.  We still have a missing science vessel to track down.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  Aye Sir.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Pulls up the data and frowns.  Does a cross check.  Turns toward the captain.::  CO:  I feel like the grim messenger.
CMO_Qui says:
<Hamilton> Computer: Magnify times 50
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Sir.. I suggest we sortie a few shuttles to help us on that search pattern. Should cut down on the time needed to cover the area.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns slightly:: CSO: Well it can't get much worse... continue.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Borg.

CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks at the CO ::  CO, Sir, permission to leave the bridge and continue my analysis?
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: I stand corrected.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stands and turns completely around now::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: ~~~catches a slight stirring of feeling coming from his wife~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: You have my attention.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Sorry...  It seems McMer has found traces of Borg signature.  He is still working on dating it.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Waits patiently for the CO to answer ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Did you find any nanoprobes in those samples?
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Also, from the information Tealk sent back, it appears most of the attack may have occurred in the cargo bay.
CMO_Qui says:
CO: No sir...there was nothing unusual
CSO_Biishe says:
::Deliberately does not look at Tealk, closing herself off.::
CMO_Qui says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge to continue with my analysis?
Host Rich says:
Action: LRS pick up a ship.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Aloud:  It adds up...  a freighter that has obviously made it through a fair deal of firefights clearly overwhelmed... no bodies... 
CSO_Biishe says:
::More data appears on her console::  CO:  Captain, the decay correlates with the doctors finding.  It was only a few days ago.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves closer to the science station, pretending to be watching over the data on the screen, and gently squeezes his wife's hand::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Nods at the Bridge staff, turns and enters the turbo lift ::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Closes her eyes and sighs, accepting the comfort.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Sir.. I beg to differ. Surely there where fatalities on the freighter crew's part.. Why would the Borg be interested in dead bodies?
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : They are only know to capture live injected subjects, not dead ones.
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  I think I might be able to answer that.
Host Rich says:
Action: Sensors show the ship to be a Borg Cube.
XO_Amendoeira says:
<Tactical> CO : Captain.. I’m picking up a ship on Long Range Scans... ::eye grow wide:: Borg signature, sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: Its a small crew Commander... they could easily have been overwhelmed and taken.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Exits the turbo lift and walks back towards sickbay ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : That wouldn't explain the amounts of blood I saw on the bridge.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Red alert!  Raise shields.
XO_Amendoeira says:
<Tactical> ::brings the ship to Red Alert status, raises shields, and warms up the phaser arrays::
CSO_Biishe says:
::A shudder goes through her, her eyes brightening with brief tears before she closes those memories off.::
Host Rich says:
