<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Etna_Morex says:
::Looking over one of the symbiont pools, taking notes on a PADD.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Having entered the cave, she pulls out her tricorder to look for any forensic data that she may find.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Watching Morex work.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Watching the gorgeous CSO.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Speaking with some of the Trill Security force.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Bends over to do scans of the pools with the symbionts.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Eyes pop.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Walks over to the CEO.:: CEO: Take a picture, it will last longer, son.
XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Walks over to Morex and peers over her shoulder at her PADD.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CO: Sir if you only knew.

 Etna_Morex says:
::Turns her PADD away from the XO's view.:: XO: It's not polite to look over someone's shoulder, Commander. ::She says with a smile.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Begins to measure the Electrical Impulses that are being transmitted through the milky water.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CEO: I do know Lieutenant. Try to remember, we're officers here representing Star Fleet.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CO: Yes sir.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: You know, they say that one in every 1,000 Trill is suitable for joining.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Begins working with his gear.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CEO: By the way, Lieutenant, how is the set up of the base of operations going?

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::While working he talks some more with the Trill guards seeing if they know anything.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CO; Well sir it is beginning to shape up sir. I think we should be able to handle anything forensic.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CEO: Good to know. I figured I would ask since you were taking time for site seeing.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CO: Well sir that was one reason for me choosing this site. The area is loaded with possible forensic material. The CSO is scanning for some now.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Grins at Morex.:: Morex: Sorry... snoops are a valued profession in my family. Lots of kids... only way to find out anything. You know how it is.

Host CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Everything going well, Lieutenant?

Guard says:
CTO: Nothing unusual. We had some visitors, but they all had clearance.

Etna_Morex says:
XO: I have kids myself. I know how they can be at times. Your set up seems to go on nicely. I do hope you can help us.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CO: Going as good as can be expected sir, questioning the guards.
CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Wonders why anyone would want one of these little critters.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CTO: Good, I'll leave you to it. Sorry to interrupt.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Begins to walk and scan the interconnecting pools.::

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Looks into the pool.:: Morex: So what are we looking at exactly?

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CO: No need to apologize, Captain.

Etna_Morex says:
XO: Any clues that would tell us who took the symbionts. Sadly, they are more than likely dead at this time but we do need to recuperate them and find who stole them.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Checks the temperature of the pool to assure it is within acceptable limits as documented.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Guard: I would like to see your visitor list.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Finishes setting the equipment up and heads over to where the CSO is.::

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
Morex: So these... um.. symbionts. They like, live and think and feel and everything? Just don't have any arms or legs... right?

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Joins the XO and Morex.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Captain, all statistics about the pools match with the known data we have on symbionts. There is nothing out of the ordinary going on here. ::Walks over to scan for any forensic DNA evidence that may exist outside the normal parameters of individuals who have access.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: Got anything Zip?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: Nothing yet, but I'm working on it. Whoever took the symbionts did a pretty good job at covering their tracks.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Keep me posted Lieutenant.

Guard says:
::Hands the CTO the list.::

Etna_Morex says:
XO: Yes. They can even communicate with one another and breed here.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Nods to the Captain.:: CO: Will do, Sir.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
Etna: As I understand it, they communicate via electrical impulses.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
Morex: So basically... whoever took them out of the pool knowing they would die has committed murder.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Going over the rather long list he finds Betazoids, Vulcans, Ferengis, Klingons, Deltans, etc. Most of the species (other than Trill) that are part of the UFP.::

Etna_Morex says:
XO: Unless they had a transportable pool or had a suitable host.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
XO: That is what worries me. Morex: Is there a black market for symbionts?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CTO: Mind if I look at the list?

Etna_Morex says:
CO: Murder or not, it was illegal and the culprits need to be arrested.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Seeing nothing here:: Guard, Who all has had direct contact with the symbionts?

Etna_Morex says:
CO: Not that we know of. ::Sighs.:: I guess a few Trills who were rejected by the Symbiont Committee could try to find other means to get a symbiont.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CSO: You can have a look but I see nothing out of the ordinary with it.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Walks back to the equipment and looks for that special scanner he re-tuned for scanning infrared hoping it would shed some light.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Takes the list.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Has a thought.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I'd suggest interviewing the people on that list.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: Zip could it be something in the air?

Guard says:
CTO: The caretakers... but since there were a lot of visitors, they would have been near them but not touch them.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: Oh, it's definitely something in the air, Joakim. ~~~But I think it only affects those with pointy ears.~~~ ::Chuckles.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CO: Sir, I'm working on it.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Roars with laughter.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Looks at the CEO.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Guard: Thank you for your assistance. ::Walks over to the pool.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Stops laughing and gets the scanner quickly.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Would you please scan the surrounding areas for traces of evidence?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Aye, Captain. I am doing so. I am not finding anything so far. Whoever did this either covered their tracks so well or it was an inside job.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CO: Sir I have a scanner here that I re-tuned to look for anything in the infrared range. Maybe it might pick up something.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
XO: Please help in scanning the pool for any foreign DNA that might be in the pool and cross reference it to the visitor list.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CEO: Then use it Lieutenant.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
CTO: Sure, Lieutenant. Hand me a scanner, will ya?

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Notes the Captain’s tone of voice and uses the scanner.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Hands her the extra scanner.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
Morex: Do you commonly allow transports into the Caves?

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Begins scanning the pool for any DNA that might match the visitors list.::

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Starts to scan and picks up something right away. Looks up excitedly and notices that it's pointed straight at the CO.:: Outloud: Oops... wrong direction. ::Turns towards the pool.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: You know, with all the visitors that they have here.. Betazoids, Klingons, Vulcans, Ferengis, all the DNA stuff ties in with the visitor information and cave worker’s on the DNA scans.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Ferengi?

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Motions for the guard to come over so he can speak with him.::

Etna_Morex says:
CO: We do have transports on a regular basis as it is an easy way to bring in symbionts back and forth. Remember that symbionts cannot live for long outside of the pools, so we try to do our business fast.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Looks at the floor.:: CO: Aside from a few tools, there's not much here. ::Continues to look.:: CO: Yeah - visitors. They're on the list.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Guard: Can you give me access to the medical files to all the visitors you have had lately?

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
Outloud: Whoa!

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Have Lieutenant Sergon, check into which visitors are still here.

Guard says:
CTO: We don't have access to them all I think. You would have to ask Dr. Morex. I'm just a guard.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Looks around some more and stops at what appears to be a small piece of metal on the ground. Scans it.:: Self: What is this? To Self: Yeah, CTO needs something to do.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: I got some massive readings on the infrared scale here.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Guard: Thank you. ::Walks over to Morex.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CTO: If you would please, kindly check which visitors are still within the vicinity of the caves.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Starts wandering around the pool scanning furiously. Almost slipping in a couple of times as she gets too close.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Etna: I would like to have access to your medical files on each visitor you have had.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: Look at this. ::Shows him the piece of metal.:: It doesn't register on scanners. What do you make of it?

Etna_Morex says:
CTO: We do not have medical files for the visitors. We just checked their credentials. They don't need to be medically fit to come in.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
Self: No wait this not right. Damn it. Scanner is picking up everything and everyone that came through here in the past days.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Etna: do you have any idea then of who on that list is still here? ::Looking at the CSO and nods his head.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Re-tunes the scanner and tries again.::

Etna_Morex says:
CO/XO: I'm not sure you'll find much since we've had so many visitors... All of them touched the pools' borders and some surely put their hands in to touch the milky liquid the symbionts live in.

CTO: No. I've been busy here. Our Government Security may know since they did part of the investigation.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Etna: Could you direct me to the head of your security?

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
Morex: Why would these species visit the pools? I mean... why do you guys allow it? If I was a symbiont... I don't know if I'd like to be on display like in a zoo.

Etna_Morex says:
XO: It was a way for our government to reach out to other planets in hoping to do trades. Not symbiont trades of course, we would never dare to do that! But we wanted them to understand who we are.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Sir, I have a situation here.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: What is it Lieutenant? ::Walks over with haste.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: I've picked up a piece of metal on my scanner. It doesn't register as anything that is documented. I don't know what it is.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: It doesn't fit any profile known?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: No, Sir. I've searched all known databases.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO; None of the compounds are on file?

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: Now that is weird.

Etna_Morex says:
CTO: You can ask for Commander Brink at the Trill HQ.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: You know that looks almost like a key, or a puzzle or a symbol.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: No, Sir. Nothing.

CEO: Yes, Lieutenant, very odd. It does appear to be a piece to a puzzle.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
Morex: Thank you, I'll proceed there immediately.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Is your tricorder configured for scans on the molecular level?

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::Walks over to the CO.:: CO: I'm heading to the Trill HQ to find out what I can from them.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Nothing comes up on the molecular level, but I would like do a skip-trace on the pattern lock, and run that through the database.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: I am guessing here but it looks almost Vulcan or something close to it. Maybe, Romulan?

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Proceed.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: No, if it were Vulcan or Romulan, it would register in the databanks.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: True.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::Scans the image into her tricorder, and sends it back to science on the Paula Greene to run a skip-trace data pattern lock.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CTO: Keep me informed Lieutenant and take the CEO with you.

Etna_Morex says:
CO: The ones who had the most questions were the Bajorans, Caitians, Ferengis, Talarians, and the Vulcans who discussed the logic of symbionts.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: Wait a minute? ::Looks at the piece and does a mental picture in his head.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
CO: Yes sir. ::Turns to the CEO.:: CEO: If you would come with me.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
CSO: If the pieces were rearranged it might take shape.

CTO: What? Oh yes sir. ::Goes with the Vulcan.::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
::He and the CEO make their way to the Trill HQ.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
Morex: That's a lot of people asking questions. ::Pauses.:: Were any what you would call overly interested?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CEO: There are no pieces, Lieutenant. It's one piece with a pattern, and the pattern appears to be rubbed off in some places. Wait! I'm getting something.

::Walks over to the Captain and whispers.:: CO: Captain, when you have a minute, I think I found something.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
::Follows the CTO::

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
*PG OPS* Site to site transport for myself and the CEO to the Trill HQ.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Nods to the CSO.::

Etna_Morex says:
CO: All were overly interested. I guess the Vulcans and Ferengis asked the most interesting questions.

ACTION: The CEO and CTO are beamed in the Trill HQ lobby.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
Morex: Thank you. Excuse me a moment.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
@::Materializes in the lobby.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Turns to the CSO.:: CSO: What is it, Lieutenant?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Speaks in a low tone.:: CO: I've managed to do a partial match using the skip-trace, and I've traced the pattern to that belonging to the Ferengi.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
@CEO: We will be questioning the head of the security, please take note of anything he or she says. ::Walks up to the counter to speak with the receptionist.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: What bothers me is that I cannot identify the material, but the pattern itself is Ferengi in origin.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: So it’s either them or someone framing them.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
@Security: Would you please direct us to the head of Trill security?

Receptionist says:
@CTO: And you are?

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: I am attempting to identify what the pattern means. I've only done a partial matching so far, but I am working on it.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
@CTO: Understood. Do you want me to tell you if they are lying or not?

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Let me know when you have something.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: Furthermore, bring the XO up to speed as well.

Etna_Morex says:
XO: It seems you are making progress. I just hope we get the symbionts back safely but I doubt it. ::Sighs.:: I have to go back to work. If there is anything, let me know.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Understood.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
@Receptionist: Yes, I am Lieutenant. Sergon, Chief of Security of the U.S.S. Paula Greene and this is Lieutenant Bishara, Chief of Engineering. We have matters to discuss with him or her.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
Morex: Sure thing. ::Still scanning.:: By the way, I'd only let Trills in here from now on.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
@::Sends a mental response of “Yes.” to Bishara.::

Etna_Morex says:
XO: Even Trills we are not so sure of right now.

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
::Moves back over to where the Captain is standing.:: CO: Ferengi Alliance. It's a symbol for the Ferengi Alliance, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
Morex: And maybe that's the greatest harm done of all... eh?

Receptionist says:
@CTO: Commander Brink is in his office down the hall. I'll tell him he has visitors.

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
::Kind of growls a little.:: CSO: Good work Lieutenant. Now, we should proceed with trying to track them down for questioning.

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
@::Opens his mind and listens as the CTO questions the secretary.::

CSO_Lt_Piddles says:
CO: Yes, but the question is where do we start? Do we question every Ferengi that came in here? They may not even be on the premises.

CTO_Lt_Sergon says:
@Receptionist: Thank you.

@CEO: Come along. ::Walks down the hall toward the office.::

CEO_Lt_J_Bishara says:
@::Walks with the CTO.::

CO_Capt_Youngblood says:
CSO: I think we should start with the ones that can be located still on the planet.

XO_Cmdr_McGee says:
::Looks up from scanning and realizes she missed a lot that's been going on. Hopes there's a reader's digest version for her.::
