Resume USS Andromeda "Federation Vice" 10705.20
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: We rejoin are heros and heroine on the Andromeda in orbit of Jupiter
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The freighter is under quarantine and docked at a medical lab
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Seeing the crew at TR1::
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
COMM: Medical lab: We will have four Andromeda officers beamed up to the lab shortly.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Waits for the beamout::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: On the bridge, listening for the next step.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The crew materializes in a shimmer of light and sparkles at the medical lab
 
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: Welcome we have been expecting you
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: Thanks. You probably know what we are here for.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods a greeting.::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: How do you wish to proceed? Do you wish to interview the crew, they are quite ill
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: What's their condition?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: In your medical opinion, are they capable of enduring an interview?
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: They are suffering from exposure from the Omega Particle, long term exposure, radiation poisoning and such
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: We are trying to treat them as best as we can and decontaminate the freighter but our decontamination efforts have failed
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: It is likely the freighter will have to be destroyed
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Ocean: What procedures have you done so far?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Ocean: Failed?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: We need to take a close look at it before it is destroyed, if it comes to that.
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: We have attempted to beam the contamination from their transporter patterns but the particle poisoning has partially ionized their cell structures making transporter therapy impossible
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Gets worried by the conversation::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: I have been instructed to provide you with total assistance
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes a look around::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: It appears that the Omega particle poisoning actually ionizes organic matter and begins to disintegrate the bonds of flesh at a subatomic level
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: Well, perhaps we should see the freighter crew anyway.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Ocean: Have you any clean DNA from them?  Something with which I could work with?
Host Dr_Ocean says:
<Energy Being>::waiting patiently on the Andromeda::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: We have their medical records prior to being infected from customs and medical files you are welcome to them
Host Dr_Ocean says:
<Energy Being> ::somewhat grumpy at not being invited::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: So, where is the crew at the moment? I'd like to see them.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Ocean: I am a genticist... if you had clean DNA, I have an idea... but if not...
Host Dr_Ocean says:
CO: You may see them but only through a forcefield and with protective gear
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: You may have total access to our files, be my guest
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: I see.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We need to change to a protective gear.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Files meant nothing... but she simply nodded her head.::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
<Energy_Being>::making notes in his journal::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: She glanced at the CEO... if she could do what she had in mind, she would need him.::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: I can provide you with a transporter buffer pattern from when they were cleared for deep space but I have no clean samples unfortunately
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: All crew are infected their tissue is slowly ionizing with subspace distortions
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Ocean: I do not think that will be enough, but I will take a look and record the procedure I have in mind.  Perhaps one of your people... we shall see.
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Civ: Of course
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Distributes appropriate protective gear to crew and begins wearing it himself::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Starts suiting up::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Takes the protective suit and puts it on::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Scene: The command crew are lead to the isolation ward and can see the crew behind forcefields, EMH attendents are assisting them as best they can
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: Let's go to meet the freighter crew.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: suited up, she follows, noting the situation with a frown.  Such unnecessary pain...::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Looks at the crew, wonders if any of them is in a talking condition::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Political Update: Lynda Locke has won the special election to fill Councilman Wilson's vacant seat in the Federation Council
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::looking at tricorder:: CO: There has been an interesting political development you might want to know about
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Scene: The crew of the freighter are in various states of illness, their body parts are being ionized
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: I see. What is it?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Linda Locke has just taken the vacant seat in  the Federation Council
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Try to talk to the freighter crew and try to see if they are in any condition to talk with us.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Looks at the engineer::  CEO: How is that possible?
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: That is very interesting...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Nods at the order and turns toward the crew::
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Her fake must be very convincing
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: We can't allow this impersonator to have a seat on the council. We should take some alternative actions...
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: A body should be more so.  :: moves along the crew, looking at the faces, searching.::
Host Dr_Ocean says:
Scene: The Captain of the freighter, Capt Seamus is awake
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CEO: We will have to do something once we are finished here.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Stops before a man who appears cognoscent, watching.  Gently she smiles::  Capt: Hello.
 
Host Capt_Seamus says:
Civ: Hello
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CO::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
::sits up in bed::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Capt: I am Doctor Storm, with the Federation.  I am here with my captain.  We are in search of answers to... :: Sighs::  I would like to say cure the situation, but at this point... :: says nothing more, he would already know. Clears her throat::  We are trying to stop anyone else from getting hurt.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Talks quietly to the CTO:: CTO: If he is in good enough condition, ask him the relevant questions about our case.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the captain::
 
Host Capt_Seamus says:
Civ: I am a dying man, somewhat corrupt in my lifetime but not all bad
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Capt: Few people really are all bad.  Can you answer our questions?
Host Capt_Seamus says:
Civ: I have made my living in the shadows of life, taking advantage of my fellow man, I am less than honest but here on my deathbed I will answer your questions, and tell you of the life of scoundrel
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: He seems to be conscious enough.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods again::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
Capt: Thank you... :: turns to the others.::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
Civ: What ::cough:: shall we say about a man who has fallen prey too his own temptations?
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
::quietly:: CO/CTO: Captain Seamus is willing to speak with you.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Turns back::  Capt: Life...
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Seamus: Thank you for your cooperation. To prevent further harm, we need to know where and from whom you got your cargo.
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: Ah yes, my 20 pieces of silver ,
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Moves over to the engineer:: CEO: I have a theory, but it is doubtful it will work at this point.
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Oh? What is it?
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: I was paid and paid well, some twenty maybe 27 years ago to rendezvous with the Starship USS Solar in a Nebula in unexplored space near an unknown world
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: The problem is no clean DNA.  I do not think a transporter can give me that... it would not be... real.  With a clean sample, it could be reinfused with them.  The current infected DNA would have to be removed as it appears to be dominant.
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We were told to ask no questions and the silver was good, Aye, too good, to take a container and move it to a holding place in the z-17 asteroid belt near the Federation/Klingon border
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Thats very risky and complex procedure
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Listens intently to the captain::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: The container was magnetized and sealed like a bottle, when we tried to beam it, there was an explosion which severely damage the Solar, we then received the cargo by shuttle
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: The shuttle pilots looked very ill, but we gave it no mind, looking back they were suffering from what I am suffering from now
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: shakes her head with a sigh::  CEO: Yes, very much so and it would take time as well as a very dedicated staff.  Maybe a few could be saved as things stand, but not all.  :: looks away::  And then which ones would you try it on.
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We took the cargo and made our way to the asteroid belt and told to store it there until called for
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We did what we were told, and placed the cargo in a hollowed out base in the asteroid belt, some of my crew who handled the cargo died but the promises of riches enchanted us all
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We left the asteroid belt and went on with business
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We were contacted recently by the now deceased Councilman Wilson to bring it to the docks
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We returned to the base, retrieved the cargo which unbeknownst to us was now radically leaking invisible radiation from improper storage
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: We delievered the cargo passing customs with well placed bribes to the Councilmen through the werehouse in Miami
Host Capt_Seamus says:
All: And that is my tale of woe, corrupt but true
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: I'll talk to my engineers about it
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Seamus: Your tale might save many others. There's still something I'd like to ask, though.
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: Shoot, err so to speak
Host Capt_Seamus says:
::manages a small chuckle to himself::
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Seamus: Was Councilman Wilson your only contact in this affair, or were there others you had communications with?
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Sends a message to engineering team about the CIV's plan::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: It is probably now more a theory to work with... but... ::shrugs::  one never knows.
Host Capt_Seamus says:
CTO: That foxy first officer of his, Lynda, time has treated her well , I always did fancy her, she was quite involved with the whole affair
CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CIV: Its possible alright but very delicate procedure, a slight power fluctuation can throw it all off
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods, not knowing whether Seamus wants to hear about her::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CEO: We can put it together back on the ship.  I do not think we will be here long enough to work it out.  :: Nods toward the group talking.::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
::looks pensive:: CTO: It seems she has replaced her old boss' seat, good for her she was always the brains
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Listening to CTO's and Captain's conversation::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
All: The gallows it is for all of us, the destiny of all us pirates it seems
Host Capt_Seamus says:
All: Still, I probably should have been an honest man and stayed home like me ma said, wouldnt have been as fun ::twinkle in his eye:: but would have lived longer maybe had a family of my own ::tear::
Host Capt_Seamus says:
::passes out::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: Having rejoined the group, looks up at the medical scanner::  CO: You will not get much more out him for awhile.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Is still thinking about what to say as Seamus collapses::
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Yes, I see.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: It seems he told us mostly what we needed to hear so there's no need to try to continue the interview later.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: Yes. I was hoping to get some more contacts, though.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: You realize, in a court of law, what he says will have little weight, given his past.  We need to solidify our facts in dealing with Lynda.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CIV: Yes, I agree.
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: We'll just have to keep trying to find the murderers, but unfortunately this new information doesn't help all that much in that.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
All: We now have to deal with the issue of Linda Locke.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
CTO: Yes, that is true.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: He might have records...
Host Capt_Seamus says:
Location: The location of the asteroid base is plotted on the Andromeda computers
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: If he does, he didn't talk about any.
 
Host EnergyBeing says:
::impatient at learning the progress of the investigation ::
 
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
::Thinking to himself that this case is getting really complex::
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CTO: No, he may not have thought of it.  He was too much in... well, himself.  If we can access his records before we leave.
Host DrOcean says:
CO: Once you leave the freighter will be destroyed
 
CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CIV: We have access to the ship and its computer. Naturally we'll look for any useful information there.
Host CO_Capt_Sketek says:
Dr. Ocean: I see. We have to think if we do any more scans but I understand we need to hurry if we do.
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
:: nods::
Host DrOcean says:
CO: Of course, if you wish to make a personal, physical inspection then please wear hazard suits
CIV_Dr_Storm says:
CO: I have nothing more here I can contribute other then an idea to Dr. Ocean which the CEO and I will put together and send.
Host DrOcean says:
