Host SMLea says:
Summary: In light of the recent murder and impending missions, the crew of the USS Andromeda face a simple choice: Spend their time preparing the ship for departure, or assist in the investigation of the death of Salley. Either way, new faces await.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, I want you to take a team onto the starbase and see what you can uncover.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CMO/CTO: You're with me for now
Attaché_Light says:
@::Behind closed doors with Mardsden, in Security Office 5::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Go hang out with Starbase security and see what they are up to
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO:: Aye.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: lifts a brow and simply nods::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::closes down his console and gets up:: CO: With your permission, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods at Varesh::
SOPS_Lt_Mardsden says:
@::Sits with his arms folded, looking away from Light, very unhappy::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CNS/CMO/CTO: Meet me in the docking bay, do not go aboard the station until I arrive.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::heads for the TL, waiting for the others to join him::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Can I see you in your ready room?
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Will do.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Following, steps into the lift::  CNS:  I need to stop off at medical.  I had not thought I would be needed on this investigation.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*SEC*:  This is Captain Knight.  Commanders Power, Knight, Varesh and Knight-Sky are authorized to enter the starbase.
Attaché_Light says:
@::Paces around the room, a bit intense, but more imperious than frustrated::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Can you bring me a medkit as well? One never knows when you need them.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<SEC> *CO*: Acknowledged Captain.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods::  CNS:  Will do.  Though I sincerely hope you do not need one.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Of course.  ::gets up and heads to his RR::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::follows the CO in::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::waits for the doors to close::  XO:  What is it, Conor?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off::  CNS/CTO:  I will see you in the transporter room.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::Follows the CNS and CMO.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: I missed out on the briefing, but why are we suddenly involved in this investigation?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Is SB security not capable of doing their investigation?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I hope I won't need it, but I'd rather be prepared. ::orders the TL on to the right deck::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  With there being a murder on the station, I availed the Andromeda and her crew to be at the Admiral's disposal in helping to investigate.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  I'm not exactly sure what you will find, but I think you should start with this Starlight person.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: Any ideas what I should ask the security people?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: A few steps away, she heads through the double doors.::  MO:  Tabatha, you have medical this shift.  I will be on the station if you need me.  :: she pauses long enough to go over a few things before heading for her office.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Nothing else which is planning to surprise us then?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*OPS*: As soon as the station has an autopsy report, send me a copy.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Your guess is as good as mine at this point, my friend.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Very well, we'll figure this out somehow
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  If there is one person who can figure something out...it is you.  ::grins::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Off I go then. ::nods and heads to the TL::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CNS: Yeah, "Why are ya keepin' our ship on lockdown?" That's what I'd ask, but it's your call.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::Smiles.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: Well, I was there when the Admiral ordered it, so that answer I already know. ::exits the TL and heads for the docking port::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::steps off at the docking level and grabs his standard away kit::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::CNS: Mind sharing that with those of the class that wasn't there, mate?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Opening a drawer, she reaches in for a small emergency kit and adds it to her standard kit.  Hearing the top click close, she heads back into the main room and over to a cabinet where she grabs an emergency kit.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::arrives at the docking port looking for his away team::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::stands with the CNS at the docking port.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: The barman of the place we've spent most our leave was murdered last night.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pausing to answer a finally question, she heads back out of medical and to the lift.  Stepping in, she orders it to the docking port.::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CNS: When did this happen?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: Last night. But I'm not sure why the base is on lockdown... that bit is a mystery.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off and moves to join those waiting for her.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turning slightly, she hands the emergency kit to Varesh::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::takes the medkit and slings it over his shoulder::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
All: All ready to go?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: lightly nods her head::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
CNS: Probably to keep the murderer from hitching a ride on any of the outgoin' vessels. SOP in these types of scenarios.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::nods at Othello's explanation:: CTO: Makes sense.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::punches his access code into the control panel to unseal the door::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Whenever you are, Commandah.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron> ::steps out onto the bridge::  CO:  Looks like you could use some company.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aaron:  Yes, but with someone a bit more interesting!  ::grins::
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Arrives on the bridge via the port turbolift, striding straightaway to the master situations console::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::steps on to the Station::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the doors slide open, she follows through with the others, looking at the general activities of those around.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::steps onto the station:: XO: I'll be with station security then. ::turns and walks down the corridor::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  CO:  So, they give us any more clues as to what we should be looking for?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::nods at the CNS:: CNS: Check in if you find anything out
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CMO: Please go find out how the victim died.
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Glances over his shoulder a moment, not really sure if he should be overhearing anything, then turns back to the console, referencing his PADD::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CTO: Let's go to the crime scene.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aaron:  No.  I'm not sure if they are purposely withholding information or not.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::turns to answer:: XO: Aye, sir. ::heads for the nearest TL and enters, ordering it to the security office::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@::A tall, powerfully built red-haired woman, with slight Klingon forehead ridges, greets the CTO. She wears a Starfleet uniform with two pips on the collar.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky_ says:
@ :: With a nod, head for the nearest console to locate their medical facility.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky_ says:
@ *OPS*:  Have you received the autopsy report yet?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CTO: Friend of yours?
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@<Lt. Thorson> CTO: Commander, when are we leaving? I'd like to get started on those weapon calibrations.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::steps off the TL and walks down the corridor, looking for the security office::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@XO: This is Lt. D'Lena Thorson. She prefers to go by her middle name, Felicia. My new assistant TO.
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Smith> *CMO*: Checking, Doctor. Will be right with you.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@TO Thorson: This is our XO, Lt. Commander Power.
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Comes to the realization that it's the captain on the bridge::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::enters the SEC office, looking around for the person in charge::
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Turns slightly, not sure whether he should introduce himself or not::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@<TO Thorson> XO: Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@TO: Shouldn't you be on the Andromeda?
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@::Stands from his deck, when he sees the Commander enter: CNS: Sir! How can I help you?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO:  Was there something you needed to say?
Host SMLea says:
<OPS_Ens_Smith> *CMO*: Doctor, base medical reports that the autopsy is being performed currently. I've requested they send us a copy of the results as soon as it's complete.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Jeffries: At ease, Lt. I'm Commander Varesh from the Andromeda. We're assisting in the murder investigation at the Admiral's request. What information do you have?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift comes to the level she needs, she steps off and turns to the right, heading for the stations much larger medical facility.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  ::turns and looks toward the EO::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@<TO Thorson> XO: I came to give my superior an immediate update, as well as take my lunch at my grandfather's Klingon restaurant on the station.
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
CO:  Oh, ah!  No, Sir.  ...Unless you needed something, Sir.  ::Turns fully around, at attention::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ *OPS*:  Thank you.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Entering the room, she is greeted by a nurse.::
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@CNS: Well, Sir... ::Comes around the desk and hands him a PADD:: Miss Light there is questioning Lieutenant Mardsden there, in Room 5, and the officer who found Salley's body is waiting in Room 3.  ::Gestures to each::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO:  At ease before you break something!  Thank you for your offer.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  ::chuckles to himself::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ Nurse Jeffries:  Would you please direct me to where the autopsy of the murder victim is being conducted?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@TO: You aren't authorized to be here since the lockdown
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods:: Jeffries: Is there a room where I can observe the questioning? I'm rather loathe to disturb her.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@XO: She was off of the Andromeda when we were cleared for shore leave, She hadn't been back on the Andy before the lockdown. I let her visit her granddad before we departed. It's my fault, sir.
Host SMLea says:
@<Nurse_Jeffries> ::Politely:: CMO: May I ask who's asking? There are matters of authorization...::Checks her collar:: ...Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CTO: She stays with us for the time being or gets beamed into the brig until we get this figured out
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ Nurse Jeffries:  I am Doctor Sky of the USS Andromeda.  We have been asked to assist in the investigation.  I need the autopsy information of which I was informed is currently under way.
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@CNS: Well, Room 5 happens to have an old-fashioned viewing screen, but no recording devices are in operation.  ::Points to Room 7, adjacent to 5::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CTO: Bring your TO with you to the crime scene and do your own investigation
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Relaxes somewhat::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  Don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting yet.  ::Takes a look at his PADD, flipping through it to find his orders::  Chief Marlon Gallard, engineer.  ::Walks up to the captain::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@XO: Good idea. I could use her help. TO: Lt., you're with us.
Host SMLea says:
@<Nurse_Jeffries> ::Kind of pops out of her chair:: CMO: Oh, Yes Sir. We've been notified to get you whatever you need. Right this way, Doctor.  ::Drops (literally) what she was working on and leads the CMO down a series of halls to the autopsy room::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO:  Nice to have you onboard Chief.  I trust engineering will be in good hands.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::frowns:: Jeffries: It's not being recorded? Highly irregular. ::walks over to room 7::
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@CNS: There've been a number of glitches in the security systems since last night. Operations is tracking it down.
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@::Accompanies the Counselor into Room 7::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron> CO:  Say, how about you stopping by my quarters sometime before we head out and joining me for something to eat?
EO_CPO_Gallard says:
::Smiles::  CO:  Aye, Sir, it will be.  ::Decides to end it there, lest awkwardness seep in, and turns, going back to the station::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky_ says:
@ :: A touch of humor dances briefly in her eyes as she follows::  Nurse Jeffries:  Thank you.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::enters the room:: SEC: And the security systems in the area where the murder took place was down too?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::smiles to himself as he senses the EO::

@ACTION: A large platen glass wall appears between Varesh and Jeffries in Room 7, revealing a dour-looking Mardsden sitting sullenly at a table within, as Commander Light paces back and forth across the back of the room::

CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@XO: You should try her granddad's gagh recipe. Very fresh, very spicy.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aaron:  Of course little brother.  We haven't had much time together lately.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@CTO: I'll consider it, but please have a preliminary report for me in the next hour or so on the crime scene.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@SEC: Is Lt. Mardsden a suspect? ::frowns, trying to remember where he'd seen the man before::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Update Conor?
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@XO: Will do. TO: C'mon, let's go an' look over the scene to get the Commandah's report to him.
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@CNS: Well, he had an altercation with Salley an hour or two before his death, so he's definitely a "person of interest." He was pretty smoked at the time, though.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
::The two head to Salley's quarters to scan the crime scene.::
SOPS_Lt_Mardsden says:
@::Sits, looking down...the skin around his left eye seems to be turning a shade of blackened blue::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods slowly:: SEC: I remember. I think I was still there. And Salley closed the lounge just after that?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@*CO*: Not much progress yet, I have the CNS working with SB security, CTO doing his own exam of the crime scene and the CMO getting her hands on the autopsy report. I have a straggler TO on board the station, I've let her stay with the CTO as she might be more useful here instead of in the brig until we figure things out

@ACTION: Doctor Knight-Sky is ushered through a state-of-the-art starbase morgue facility, and into an autopsy room, where the rigid body of the base's former bartender is undergoing in-depth scans.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Understood.  I'm sure you're taking the necessary actions.  As for this straggler TO, we will deal with that later.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: As she enters, she reaches for a medical gown and slips it on before walking over to the table and medical examiner.::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@::Looks around the room, scanning with his tricorder for clues. TO Thorson stands near the door with her arms folded.::
Attaché_Light says:
@::Finally comes around to the side of the deck opposite Salley, bracing her hands in a wide, aggressive stance on the edge of the deck, and leans over, practically into Mardsden's face:: ::Whispers forcefully (audibly, but not enough to be clear whether she's asking a question or making a statement):: SOPS: This is how it's going to be....
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::listens as Light talks::
Host SMLea says:
@<CMO_Cmdr_Karth> ::Looks up from his work:: CMO: Ah, Doctor Knight-Sky! I hoped you would join us.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::heads to the security office::
SEC_LtJG_Jeffries says:
@CNS: Yeah, a little while after. I chatted with him for a bit, but left before he did.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: lifts a brow::  CMO Karth:  I tend to forget how quickly news moves on a station.  How might I assist you?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@SEC: I think I left to help the singer around that time, so I didn't see you there.
SOPS_Lt_Mardsden says:
@Light:  ...Yeah.  Guess so.  ::Looks up for the first time, glaring at her defiantly::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::Steps into the security office and asks a nearby officer for the location of the interview::
Host SMLea says:
@<CMO_Cmdr_Karth> ::Hands Knight-Sky a tricorder:: CMO: The other systems are finishing up. Feel free to peruse the results.
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@<TO Thorson> CTO: Why would anyone kill the bartender? That makes as much sense as two people running a Galaxy-class starship.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  ::walks over to the CO and sits down beside him in the XO chair::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: Takes the tricorder and scans through what they have so far.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aaron:  Well, by all means, make yourself comfortable!  Just don't tell Conor!
Attaché_Light says:
@::Forcefully spins herself away from the deck and marches out of the room, the doors barely parting before she collides with them, and continues out of the security office::
Attaché_Light says:
@::Rushes past Conor as she goes::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::sees Light leave and goes to follow her, nearly running down the XO::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::turns on himself to see what the commotion is about::
CTO_Cmdr_Knight says:
@TO: Who knows, Felicia. Murder is a senseless act.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
@ :: reading what they have so far, she steps away and taps her combadge.::  *XO*:  Commander, so far results show death was caused by spinal nerve trauma... by someone who knew what they were doing.  It appears to be a type of execution.
