Summary:
Ten hours have passed since the Andromeda recovered the crew of the USS Monongahela. Its crew -- two ensigns -- are ready to be released from sickbay and Lieutenant Commander Power is out of surgery. Meanwhile, the sensor probes are completing their final passes and the data is ready to be analyzed.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In medical, standing beside the first officer's biobed, going over the readings.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::on the bridge, reviewing the latest reports on repairs::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Sierra, what's the status of my second in command?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::lying on the bed feeling like he has fought a Gorn and lost::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::on the bridge, checking sensor data::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Have we gotten any data back from the probes?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::seated on a bio-bed reading a PADD of what appears to be scientific data::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*: Captain, he is currently stable and on the mend.  He needs at least one day of bed rest and then a couple of days light duty.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Light duty?  You know he is going to fight tooth and nail with that one!
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::overhears the CMO and shouts:: CMO: Forget your light duties!
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*:  He can not fight it and be on active duty, or he can fight it and stay here with me for a couple of days.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Still being analyzed, sir. There is a lot of data.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  While the probe data is being analyzed.......have we got any information on the two crewmembers who were rescued?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Just lifts an eye brow at the first officer's shout::  *CO*:  He appears to be fully awake if you want to talk with him.  I will prepare the anesthetic for the next few days to help him sleep... just in case light duty still distresses him.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I got something for you in the meantime. It looks like the duderon concentration moved away, like a trail out of the system, beyond the ship and probe sensor limit and then vanished. Like the source moved beyond sensors and then stopped being produced.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Understood.  I'll be down in a bit.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: And the two crewmembers are freshly graduated from the Academy on their first assignment to the Eridani, assigned a week to ten days ago.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Keep a record of that.  Once we have the information we need, we will transmit it to Starfleet Command.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Walks kind of unsteadily through the doors into sickbay::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Commander, how are you feeling?  You had a punctured lung and some cracked ribs.  Surgery was uncomplicated, but your body will need time to heal.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  V, you have the bridge.  I'm going down to see Conor.  Keep me posted.  ::heads to the TL doors::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CMO: I feel like I've been beat up.  Did you get a cheap blow in while I was out?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances over at Keegan:: FCO: See, I told you we'd make it.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up and moves over to the Big Chair:: CO: Aye, sir. I have the bridge. The last of the probe data has come in. I'm recalling them now.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::shifts and sits up on the edge of the bed while clutching his ribs::
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Nods and smiles:: CSO:  I believe it was me who mentioned the cavalry.  I take full credit for our rescue.  ::she laughs::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Stumbles slightly over her steps as she moves toward the center of sickbay, then halts in her tracks as she notices the two ensigns. Her eyes narrow as she takes them in::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Motions to his body in general::  XO:  You also have contusions to add to that feeling.  If it gets to be too much, there are some painkillers here beside the bed.  These will not knock you out.  If the pain gets to be too much, call me or one of the other medical staff and we will give you something stronger.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow as he sits up.::  XO:  Commander, you need something now?  That is what we are here for.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
SO: Recall the probes. ::turns:: CO: Captain, do we follow the trail of the duderon particles once we have the probes on board?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CMO: I'm not a fan of sitting in bed, I'll pass on the painkillers for the moment thanks.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Commander, you will stay in bed.  I have a strong dislike for my work becoming undone.  You may stay in bed conscious, or you may stay in bed unconscious.  By the way, the captain is on the way.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Negative.  Run the analysis through the computer and see if it can come up with anything.  ::steps into the TL::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::smiles:: FCO: Are you feeling better?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CMO: That sounds like an order
MO Storm says:
:: coming out of the back lab, she notes the arrival of someone and moves toward them.::  Light:  May I help you?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir. Holding position. ::turns back to the science officer:: SO: Run the data through the computer and let's see what it comes up with.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  You are in my realm, Commander; therefore, yes, it is.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Takes a step toward the FCO/CSO, then turns her head, seemingly disconcerted by the sudden appearance of the doctor, and wobbles momentarily:: MO: She-- ::With that, the flushed officer crumbles to the deck:: 
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Touches her head:: CSO: Yeah, I'm still a bit woozy but I will be fine. How is your arm?
MO_Storm says:
 :: quickly moves to break the woman's fall.::  Soren... I need you.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::steps out of the TL and makes his way down the corridor towards sickbay::
MO_Soren says:
:: Hearing his name, comes out of the storage area to lend a hand.  Together, the pair of them carry the stranger to a biobed::

ACTION:
As the sensor information is analyzed and compared to previous sensor logs, a seeming sensor shadow is correlated with the time of cessation of the duderon particle source.

XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CMO: I won't undo your work. I like my lungs to remain inflated.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the strange commander with a raised eyebrow wondering what is going on, but not moving as medical apparently has everything under control::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::enters sickbay and looks around the room::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Walks over to the Science console:: SO: Can you clear up that sensor shadow?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  Then you will remain and allow your body to heal as best as it can.  Normally, such wounds would require a longer amount of time.  I am asking for a day and light duty.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::not wanting to get in the way, he senses where Sierra is and makes his way to where she and the XO are at::
MO_Soren says:
Storm:  Kriosian.  Temperature above normal.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::enters the room and looks over at Conor::  XO:  So, playing hero again, huh tough guy?  ::grins::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
::Looks up as her husband enters::  CO:  Captain, the XO was just about to lie back down to rest.  I will leave you two alone.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: If I knew it would hurt like this, I'll pass next time..
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~CO:  Reaffirm he is to remain here for the day and I will leave you to seeing that light duty is maintained.~~~~
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Rubs her head as she takes in all the action.:: CSO: I know I am still a little out of it from the knock to the noggin', what kind of nuthouse are we in?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::nods to Sierra::  XO:  Something tells me you won't be able to pass up any type of action.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::As she's laid to rest on the biobed, she suddenly comes to again, lifting her head to search the room frantically::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  I will do my best Sierra.~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leaving the pair alone, she heads back into the main area, pausing to quietly inform her nurse to prepare a sedative and leave it by the door.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  How you feeling, Conor?  Hopefully you feel better than you look!
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::flexes her arm back and forth testing the range of motion:: FCO: As good as new, near as I can tell. I've managed to get the ship name. ::raises the PADD she was looking at.:: FCO: USS Andromeda. If memory serves she is an Ambassador class, but I didn't think she was assigned anywhere near here.
MO_Storm says:
:: With a nod she begins to look for the cause.::  Soren:  See if you can get her temperature down.
MO_Soren says:
::With a nod, heads over to the medical supplies.::
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: On par as I look I'm guessing, I haven't seen myself in a mirror yet. Once I get up and moving again things should get better.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Yeah, well that won't happen for at least a day...Doctor's orders.  ::walks up closer to the biobed::  So what happened, my friend?
MO_Soren says:
::Finding what he needs, he returns and injects the woman with it.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Varesh to the Captain. A moment of your time, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Go ahead.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CSO:  My mother served on an Ambassador class ship once, they are older but pretty ships.  I bet, fun to fly too
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Tried to do CPR on the crew member when he stopped breathing and the force on my damaged ribs caused them to fracture and puncture my lung. From what I remember, they didn't make it
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  You're a tough guy...I'm sure you'll recover nicely.
SO_CPO_Feare says:
::working on the indicated data he frowns and tries applying different filters to the data:: CNS: I can try sir.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Sir, we might have a possible ship, unfamiliar silhouette, that could be the source of the duderon particles. There isn't enough data for us to run it through the databanks to obtain an ID.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pauses at the biobed where the attaché lay::  MO:  How is Commander Light?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: I'm guessing your wife is also forcing you to force me to stay here then?
MO_Storm says:
:: Notes the name::  CMO:  High temperature :: looks down at her PADD and frowns.::  All the symptoms of the flu...:: looks up::  And a rather familiar recent one.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::glances at the FCO curiously:: FCO: I wouldn't know, but the drive to mass ratio is...significantly lesser then that of most 'modern' ships.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  She's not forcing me.  I want you to fully recover without incident.  I need my XO at one hundred percent strength.  ::grins::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Takes the PADD as it is handed to her and scans it.::  MO:  To my knowledge, the twins were nowhere near Commander Light.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Understood.  I believe engines are functioning, correct?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Soren:  I need you to track down the Commander's recent stays.  While those of pure human, Vulcan and Betazoids will not catch this, apparently others will.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: taps her combadge:: *CO*:  We may have a problem.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  We were able to save the two crewmembers from the Monongahela.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: How did they even end up out here in the first place?
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Grins:: CSO:  Oh, that's a scientist's way of looking at a ship.  These older girls have a feeling about them.  You can tell you're steering her... It's romantic.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
MO Storm:  Check with the station and see if they had an outbreak there.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Hopefully I will find that answer out when I've spoken with them.  They are next on my list.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  What is it Sierra?~~~
MO_Storm says:
:: With a nod, heads for the comm unit and sends a request via OPS::

ACTION:
Storm and Soren's ministrations are successful...Light's temperature decreases to less lethal levels, though still above normal. She ceases to struggle and protest hysterically.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO: Commander Light has what the twins do.  I do not believe she got it from them, but from the station.  My concern is she may have spread it to others.  We will keep an eye on it.~~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Set course to see if we can get closer to identify the possible ship.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. Setting pursuit course.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks down to the flight console:: Aaron: Time to earn your pay. Set a pursuit course for that ship. Warp 4. Engage when ready.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  You might want to start checking other crew for any symptoms.~~~
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO:  We are on it.~~~~
aFCO_Aaron_Knight says:
CNS:  Aye.  ::sets course and engages::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Is there anything I can get for you Conor?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::smiles a bit:: FCO: I'll take your word for it, Jenna. I wonder when we'll get back to the Eridani. I have datasets I need to check through the computer, not nearly as much as we could have, but still, something's better then nothing.  At least no one died getting it.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: I think I'm okay for the moment but I think my rank grants me room service around here right? ::smiles::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: lays a light hand on the woman.::  Light:  You are in medical with a temperature.  It appears you caught an unusual case of the flu.  You were given something to bring down your temperature.  You should be feeling a bit better in a moment.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::chuckles::  XO:  I would think so...but Sierra might have other intentions!
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CO: Well, I have the next twenty-four hours to test out my theory.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::goes to sit on the command chair again::
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CSO:  Yeah, I was supposed to have a date tomorrow with a shuttlecraft pilot.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Yes, my friend.  Just make sure you get well enough for duty.  I don't like having you out of commission for long.  ::smiles::
MO_Storm says:
:: Nods and thanks OPS for the information and then returns to Sky::  CMO:  Station reports a few cases, mostly hybrids, but for a few visiting ambassadors from areas far from the center of the Federation.  There is a good chance they  brought it.  No mortality.
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Eyes still a little wide, she nods, processing this much rationally::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::places his hand on Conor's shoulder::  XO:  Get some rest.  I'm going to see what information I can get from the two we rescued.
MO_Soren says:
:: Joins the small group.::  CMO:  Commander Light kept mostly to herself.  Her main areas were the gym, the lounge, Admiral Kensington's office or her quarters.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the other ensign appraisingly:: FCO: Oh? Which one? Nelson? McDavid?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::nods at the CO::
MO_Soren says:
CMO/Storm:  I also checked our records.  There have been no other cases reported.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Soren/MO Storm:  And if we are lucky, it will stay that way.  Alright, send out a notice that should anyone show any symptoms of the flu, I want them to report in immediately.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Mocks horror:: CSO: Nelson!  Eww!  He's like twice my age.  McDavid...
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::makes his way out of Conor's room and into general sickbay::  *CNS*:  Varesh, can you see if you can contact the Eridani to let them know what happened.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. I'm on it.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Sensing her husband near by, she turns to look at him with a lifted brow.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at the two crewmembers on adjoining biobeds and walks over toward them::
Nurse_Rain says:
:: Pops her head into the first officers small private area.::  XO:  Commander, can I get you anything?
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::shifts and gets comfortable in his bed:: Self: Going to be a long day...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Get me a comm channel to the Eridani.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Rain: I'm fine, thanks. I'm just going to try get some sleep for a bit
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::Looks up at the Captain and makes a shushing hand motion at the pilot:: CO: Captain?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/FCO:  You two must be from the Monongahela.  I am Captain Knight of the USS Andromeda.
aOPS says:
CNS: Aye, sir. ::taps a few buttons::
MO_Soren says:
:: stepping back from the group contacts OPS and asks him to send the message out to the crew.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CO: We are assigned to the USS Eridani, Sir.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Stands to attention, while gripping a biobed to remain steady.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/FCO:  How are the two of you feeling?
Nurse_Rain says:
::Smiles::  XO:  Very good, sir.  If you need anything, let me know.  I am on Alpha shift and will be back the last half of gamma.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CO:  A little woozy sir, but no worse for the wear.
XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::rolls over on to his bruised ribs and feels the full force of the damage and quickly rolls back:: Self: Won't make that mistake again.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO:  Please, as you were.  ::smiles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Sir, the Eridani is off comms while investigating a nebular phenomenon about 12.57ly away. Getting a flight plan from Starfleet Command.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::didn't move to attention when he approached, and doesn't now:: CO: A bit antsy to get moving, but glad to be alive.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/FCO:  We are in the process of trying to contact the Eridani to let them know what happened.  Can either of you tell me what you were doing out here?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Light: I will need to keep you here until you are no longer contagious, given past experience, that is about 24 hours.  Meanwhile, is there anything we can get you to help you rest more comfortably?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Understood.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Do we divert once we have the co-ordinates?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::overhears the captain's comm and gets that sick twisting feeling in the pit of her stomach, then glances at the FCO::
Nurse_Rain says:
:: Waits for a moment to see he is comfortable, and then heads back out to other duties.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  Affirmative.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CNS*:  At least until we are in communications range.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CO:  We were dispatched on a survey mission sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at the CSO::  CSO:  Is there something wrong?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
Aaron: Aaron, divert to the Eridani's position until we're in comms range.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Shifts her attention from the CO to the CSO and back again.::
aFCO_Aaron_Knight says:
CNS:  Already on it, Commander.
aOPS says:
FCO: You should have the co-ordinates.
aFCO_Aaron_Knight says:
::brings up the coordinates and sets course::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
CO: Just...a bad feeling. They were supposed to pick us up about thirty-six hours after you picked us up.  ::looks at the clock twenty some odd hours from now. and we were communicating fine on our 24 hour check-ins, you should be able to raise them.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
CO:  We were assigned a runabout as it was thought it's shields would be safe in the gases.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::shakes her head and clears her mind then nods and lets the FCO relay the important parts::
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
::Draws a deep breath, then shakes her head:: CMO: I'm...okay.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO:  The nebula they are near is hindering our communications with them.  We have set course toward their location.
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Puts her hand on the CSO's arm.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks at the FCO and then to the CSO and back again::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods::  Light:  Then lie back and rest.  If you need anything, let us know.  :: Nods toward Nurse Rain and Soren::  We are here if you need us.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/FCO:  I'm sorry, but I'm sensing that you aren't being completely upfront with some things.  Would either of you care to explain just what exactly is going on?
Attaché_Cmdr_Light says:
CMO/MOs: ...Thank you.  ::Leans back and closes her eyes::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Scans the instrument panel, her fever was a bit high, but everything else seemed to be in normal range.  With a nod, she turns to join Suzie.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
MO Storm:  Contact the station and report our current situation.  This flu appears to mostly be an inconvenience, let us keep it that way.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Watches the sensors::
FCO_Ens_Keegan says:
::Her eyes begin to betray her confusion.::  CO: Between the explosion, the knock to the head and worrying about the Eridani, I don't have the ability to hide anything, Sir.
MO_Storm says:
:: With a nod, turns to head for her station and write up the report for the station as well as their records.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::dose the math in her head and goes over the times:: CO: We've missed a check in. We should have been in touch with them at 2000 last night, Sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/FCO:  There's no need to worry about anything.  We're trying to reach the Eridani.  Your main focus should be to recover.  Now, what exactly were you mapping out?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::looks at the CO confused:: CO: We were assigned to the runabout to survey the asteroids because the Eridani's shields were making them more volatile, but we must have gotten too close to one.  One detonated at about oh two hundred this morning.
