USS Cherokee 10410.10  Getting to Know You, Part 3 

Host SM-Trish says:
An emergency has arisen.  With the telling of the CTO and CNS's plans to wed, they also told the unexpected grandparents they were going to be grandparents.  When Mrs. Hazzard learns she will be the grandmother of triplets, she promptly faints.  It is discovered that she didn't faint, but had a heart attack which will require triple bypass surgery.

Host SM-Trish says:
The rest of the crew are on R&R until further notice, as the Cherokee requires extensive refitting from their previous mission.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Bar, nursing an interesting drink the bartender called an "Ice cream float", enjoying the ticklish sensation it brings.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Paces right outside the door to surgery, both hands behind his back as he worries about his mother.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Looking into surgery, she sees T'Lin and the new CMO Ferdinant.::

OPS_Nash says:
::In the Infirmary, relaxing while holding Kiandra.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Standing at the side of the surgery table, ready to activate the heart-lung machine.  He looks up at T'Lin one more time, nodding.::

CSO_Nash says:
::In Sickbay watching his family and trying to assist OPS as much as he can.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Nods to the CMO.::  CMO:  Ready when you are, Sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CNS:  What are her chances T'Lin?~~~

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Watches as his son paces a hole in the floor of the waiting room.::  CTO: There’s nothing you can do by wearing the deck plates out.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes a deep breath.::  CNS:  Here we go.  ::Switches the heart-lung machine on, then waits a few moments to let it adjust to the patient's heart rate.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
~~~ADM:  It is too early to tell.  The angioplasty went well though.~~~

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Vitals are stable.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks to his Pa.::  Pa:  I can't just sit here and do nothing‘, Pa.  It’s .. this is my fault .. couldn't stop my gums flapping.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Looks over at the Captain's reaction.::  CO:  Sir, I believe you have a foam mustache. ::Tries not to laugh.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CNS:  Let me know if it goes the wrong way.  I have two men out here, one is pacing the deck, and the other I think is the father.~~~

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  A what?  These bubbles are interesting, makes up for the strange taste.

CNS_T`Lin says:
~~~ADM:  Understood.~~~

Pa_Hazzard says:
CTO:  She'll pull through this fine.  You don't be blamin' yourself for it.  She's been stubborn about seein' medics here lately.  I'm to blame as much as you are for not getting’ her to go to the doc before we left.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Ok, place the electric inhibitors..  ::Hands her a couple of little devices, one for each muscle of the heart.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Turning back she approaches the Hazzards.::  Pa:  Mr. Hazzard?  I am Admiral Alexander.  Is there anything I can get you or do for you, Sir?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs and leans against the bulkhead.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I was wondering, do Caits get drunk?  Or do you have like a Caitian catnip?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Grabs the electric inhibitors and inserts them into the heart muscle.::  CMO: Done.

Pa_Hazzard says:
ADM:  At the moment just help me get this one calmed down.  ::Looks to the CTO.::  He thinks it's his fault.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  I, I don't like alcohol.  Tried it a couple times, never saw the draw others do.  Catnip is fine, in moderation of course.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Mark, at ease CTO.  Come here and sit down.  ::Smiling at him.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I was just curious, you have so many similarities to earth felines.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Good work.  ::Looks up at the monitor again, making sure they're in the green to stop the heart.  Satisfied with the readings, he nods.::  CNS:  Stop the heart.  Computer: Computer, commence countdown, three hours, starting on my mark. ::Waits a moment.:: Mark..

CNS_T`Lin says:
<Courier> ::Walks to the bar where the CO and XO are.  Walks up to the CO.::  CO: Sir.  Message from SB33 Sickbay.  There's been an emergency with Lt. Hazzard's mother.  You may wish to go speak with the Admiral.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  I like to be solidly connected to my environment.  It's too hard to...  Courier:  What's this?  Thank you.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stands at attention in the presence of the Admiral at first, relaxing a little at her command.:: Admiral:  Yes, Ma'am.  I'm trying.  Ma'am, it’s .. hard .. I could have waited, but I couldn't not tell her .. or you, Pa.  ::Cringes in aggravation.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Is getting hungry and her stomach lets off a good audible sound to inform those in the room.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Flips the switch to slowly reduce the heart rate.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Courier:  Is she going to be all right?

CSO_Nash says:
::Hears OPS stomach and gets up putting Liam down.::  OPS:  Anything special you would like from the replicator?

CNS_T`Lin says:
<Courier> XO: I am not sure, Sir.  I was just sent to deliver the message.  She's in surgery now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Lt. Hazzard, are you God?  ::Raising an eyebrow.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  I'm going to see how things are going.  Care to join me?  Mister Hazzard likely could use some support.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Admiral:  No, Ma'am.  I never claimed to be that.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks at the monitor, waiting for the electric pulses on it to stop completely, and to only see a blood pressure remaining.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Maybe a simple Turkey cheese sandwich with mayo.  Cut in half please.  And a glass of ice water.

Pa_Hazzard says:
ADM/CTO:  That's the me coming out in him.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Then how are you responsible?   I didn't know you had those kinds of powers.  ::Grinning at him.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs and shakes his head.::  Adm:  Ma'am, I know you’re trying to make me relax, but that’s my mother in there, suffering from a heart attack that I caused!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Turns to the nurse.::  Nurse:  Disinfect her left upper leg.  We need two good veins from there.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  Turkey and cheese cut in half and a glass of ice water.  ::Moves over and orders their food.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Right behind you, Sir. ::Follows the CO.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Keeps an eye on the vitals.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  From what your father says, I might believe that, but we all must see our doctors; and I doubt your mother did, did she?  ::Looking at the elder Hazzard.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits bar, headed back to Sickbay.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
<Nurse> ::Disinfects upper left leg, prepping for incision.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Pa:  Think I should confine him to quarters Sir?  ::said with a twinkle in her eyes::

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Looks sheepishly at the ADM.::  ADM:  No, ma'am, she didn't as regularly as she should have, and I didn't make an issue of it with her.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks as the nurse disinfects the leg.  Meanwhile, he prepares a new, smaller and less intense scalpel to make the incision.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
ADM:  If he keeps it up, yes.  ::Grins where the Admiral can only see it.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Sickbay, moving to the surgery ward, nodding to a few officers en route.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  Lt. Hazzard, what shall it be?  ::Looking him directly in the eyes.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs once more, taking a seat and resting his face in his hands, feeling the tension grow.:: Adm/Pa:  I'm trying to relax, I really am .. just..  ::Starts to break down and cry.::  Adm/Pa:  I'm sorry.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Enters Sick bay, following the Captain.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::She sits down next to him, putting her arms around his shoulders, giving what comfort she can.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
CTO:  Sorry for what, son.  ::Moves over to him and gives him a comforting squeeze on the shoulder.::  You're not going to be as sorry as I am, but have faith in these fine people.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  It really will be all right, Mark.  Starr is monitoring the procedures, and CMO Ferdinant is a specialist in this area.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO:  I also have a mental link with T'Lin, and she says all is going well.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Wipes his eyes and tries to collect himself.::  Adm:  Thank you, plus T'Lin's in there.  I know she's pulling for her too.  Gotta have faith in all of them right now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, thank you for coming.  Looks like we have a vigil going on here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ Adm:  Admiral, Lieutenant, what happened?  Is everything all right?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Turns the smaller scalpel on and off in a fraction of a second, satisfied it'll do the job.:: CNS/Nurse:  Ready when you are.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  My mother kinda took the news of the wedding and the pregnancy none too well.  She, she had a heart attack from the shock, Sir.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Ready.  Good to go.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO:  Dreadful news, I hope she will be well soon.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO:  Thanks, Sir.  I appreciate that.  I appreciate what all you are tryin’ to do.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Steps towards the leg, making sure he's got a good view on the veins in the leg.  Very slowly and carefully, yet at a steady speed, he makes an incision, a couple of inches long.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, I need to leave, will you take over here for me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  A heart attack?  Those can be serious, good thing it happened so close to a Medical facility.  Adm:  Of course, Ma'am.  You have a station to run.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CTO/Pa:  Sorry, I must leave, but the Captain can help you if it is required.

OPS_Nash says:
::Places a sleeping Kiandra on the bed next to her, then she grabs the plate and glass of water.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, keep me informed.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Brings the light closer so he can see better.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
CTO:  You gonna introduce me to these two gentlemen, or do I have to do the honors?  And our bickering might have done it as well.  Shall we call a truce for Ma's sake?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm:  Yes, Ma'am.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Pa:  Truce, you got it, Pop.  This is Captain Tio Ayidee and Commander Trent Worthington III, my Captain and XO on the Cherokee.  Gentlemen, this is my father, Lt. Commander Hazzard (ret).

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Thank you Tio.  I am stopping for a short visit with the Nash’s.  ::Turning she leaves to go to the maternity ward.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Very carefully, so he won't damage any good veins, he cuts deeper and deeper. A quick look on the monitor learns they should be very close to a good, strong vein now.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Points to an artery.::  CMO:  That one looks good.

Pa_Hazzard says:
ADM:  Nice meeting you, Ma'am.  Thanks for the help.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Extends his hand.::  Pa:  Nice to meet you, Sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Walking down the long corridor she enters the Nash’s room.::  CSO:  So how is our new family doing?

OPS_Nash says:
::She takes half of her sandwich and takes a bite.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Pa:  An honor to meet you, Sir.  I just wish it were under more pleasant circumstances.  ::Extends paw.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Extends his hand to the CO first and gives a firm handshake.  Then to the XO as well.:: XO/CO:  Pleasure meeting you both. You keeping him in line?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods::  CNS:  Indeed.  Prepare the extraction kit.  ::Takes a clamp to hold the incision open for the time being, while he goes to take another look at the now stopped heart.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks to the three men in the room with him and takes a deep breath.::  ALL:  If you all will excuse me, going to wash up a bit.  Some cold water might help.  ::Takes a few steps to the nearby washroom, locking the door behind him for a moment and looking in the mirror, thinking as hard as he can.::

CSO_Nash says:
ADM:  We are well.  Kyleigh is just finishing up some lunch and the babies are napping.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Pa:  On the rare occasion he steps out of it.  He's a fine officer.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Tries to send T'Lin all the support, strength and confidence he has.::  Self:  I know she can do it.  I KNOW.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  They are precious, Kevin.  Remember when T'Sara was their size?  ::Walking over, she leans over the crib to look at them.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
CO:  Glad to hear it.  I'm just glad you had room for him on your ship.

CSO_Nash says:
ADM:  Aye.  She was quite a handful even then.  ::Grins.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns on the cold water and starts to splash it up on his face, taking a towel and drying off before unlocking the door and walking out.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Looking down she sees only Liam, then looks over and sees Kiandra next to Kyleigh.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Pa:  The pleasure is all ours.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO/Pa:  Now you know what I had to measure up to all this time, Captain.  My Pa is a hard act to follow.

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Starts to get misty eyed.::  CTO:  You, Sir, are a flatterer.  Now I know why that T'Lin took a fancy to you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  How are you feeling now, Kyleigh?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Takes the extraction kit from the nurse.  Prepares the clamps to hold the artery.  Passes the clamp to the CMO.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks at the CNS.::  CNS:  Better come stand on this side, Counselor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  But you've done fine so far, Lieutenant.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  I am fine.  Just curing my hunger pains at the moment.  ::Takes another bite.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO/OPS:  Well, I have a little present for them, if you don't mind.  ::Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out two necklaces for the twins, their names engraved on them.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Sir, thanks.  I won't let you down either.  ::Nudges his father.::  CO:  Besides, if I did, my Pa would whoop me a good one, no matter how old I get.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks to the other side where the CMO is.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CNS:  How is it going T'Lin?~~~

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Can't help but glance over at the door again.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Looks at the necklaces.::  ADM:  Oh!  How precious!

CNS_T`Lin says:
~~~ADM:  Still too soon to tell, Admiral.  We will not know until we get the bypass done and the first 24 hours will be the most critical.~~~

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  All right, now.  You see that artery over there?  ::Looks up as he sees T'Lin turn her head.::  Hey, keep your attention here please.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Each one has a half of a heart, to let them know they are special.  ::Smiling, glad Kyleigh likes the gifts.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks at the presents.::  ADM:  Thank you, for everything.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Sorry, Sir.  ::Turns her head back to the surgery.::  CMO:  I see it.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  You have done so much for us Admiral.  I thank you from all of my heart.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Relax, heart surgeries have advanced incredibly the last 20 years or so.  If they were as advanced twenty years ago as they are today, well, never mind.  She'll be fine.

Pa_Hazzard says:
CTO:  Don't ya be doubtin' that for a minute.  ::Nudges him and grins.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  No such thing, Kyleigh.  You just take good care of those two darlings.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Good, now you clamp one side here.  ::Points to a place on the left of the artery.::  And the other side, there.  ::Points with his scalpel.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/Pa:  I must agree with the Captain.  Mrs. Hazzard will be fine.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  You know I will.

CSO_Nash says:
ADM:  As will I.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Places the clamp on the artery as told.::  CMO:  All right, done.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  As if Kevin would ever allow anything to happen to them!  ::Grinning at the very large man.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Goes blank for a minute, and then slaps his forehead.::  XO:  Oh jeeze, I completely forgot.  Miller and Kilbrowski say the Port torpedo pod should be up and running before the end of the refit, and the new Phaser coolant relay will be done in a week.  Sorry I couldn't get the report to you sooner.  Kinda slipped my mind.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  True.  ::Grins as she looks over at her husband.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
XO:  I can attest to that.  ::Shows them the prosthetics that he got courtesy of the Borg.::  I'm livin' proof.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  You're off duty.  Relax.  We know the ship's status.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The sickbay nurse comes in to tell the parents it is time to take the twins for a bath and weighing.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods, as he takes two artery clamps.  He clamps one on each side, leaving about a centimeter between the extraction clamps and the artery clamps.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Grins back at OPS and the ADM and surrenders Liam to the nurse.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns slightly, watching the surgeons at work.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Lets the nurse take Kiandra from the bed.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns to his Pa and actually grins.::  Pa:  The Borg didn't take you because your skins too tough for those probey thingies to punch through.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The nurse takes the twins, heading down the corridor and out of sickbay.

Pa_Hazzard says:
CTO:  That might be it.  Tough and grissled.  ::Laughs.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Leans against the bulkhead and tries to relax.::  CO/XO:  Wait, did you say that Doc Ferdinant was working on Ma?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  So our new Medical Chief gets a chance to show his colors before even coming aboard.  He seems confident in his actions.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO/OPS:  Well, I am needed in my office.  As soon as you are feeling better, I want you two to bring the twins to supper.  Looks like the Cherokee is going to be out of commission for at least a month.

OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  We appreciate the time off.

CSO_Nash says:
ADM:  A dinner date.  You're on, Ma'am.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Cuts the artery between the clamps and nods.::  CNS:  You can take it out now.  ::Heads back to the patient's chest and takes another good look at the heart, carefully pressing on it with his index finger.::  Self:  Hmm, all right.  About three, four centimeters.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Brabas will be hard to replace but Ferdinant has a solid record.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks at T'Lin.::  CNS:  Let's put that over there.::  Points at a little table against the wall.:: 

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Aye, he is.  Supposed to be an excellent cardio-surgeon.

Host Nurse says:
::Walking out of sickbay, she slips into a closet, removing her uniform, then injecting the babies with a mild sedative.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Oh man, that guy tried to tell us that T'Lin was going to have Quintuplets.  He couldn't get his tricorder readings right.  Oh man.  ::Looks to the door desperately at first, then takes a deep breath, clenching his fists and calming down.::  CO:  No, he's gonna do right by Ma.  It’s going to be okay.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Pulls out the severed artery, and cleans the artery, prepping it for Doctor Ferdinand.::  CMO: Ready?

Host Nurse says:
::Tucking the twins into a box made for them, she exits the closet in her new disguise and enters the closest turbolift.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs and looks to all of them.::  ALL:  I need to take a walk.  I'm doing no one any good right now.  Let me know if there is any change.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  I'm going to see if I can assist with the bathing.  ::Steps out of the area and into the corridor.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks around again from his poking.::  CNS:  Hmm, hang on a second.  Making sure I have it's length right.  Okay.  ::Walks to the table and takes a look at the artery.::  It's strong enough.  We just need to cut a little bit off.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  All right.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  She'll be fine.  We'll call you if anything happens.

CSO_Nash says:
::Exits the room into the corridor and looks down it.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Waits patiently for the doctor to cut the artery to the right length.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Perhaps we should check on the Nash’s, Sir?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Exits the sickbay, not really choosing a direction.  Just walking.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Perhaps that would be good, give the good doctor some time to work.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Scans the artery for imperfections or possible obstructions.::  CNS:  All clear it seems.  Let's cut about two centimeters from this end.  ::Points.::  Clamp it just to the right.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Decides to head towards the nearest turbolift, trying to get some distance from the source of his anxiety.::

Host Nurse says:
::Exits the turbolift, down below where the dregs of the Starbase hang out.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves up the corridor to the nursery and enters to see the babies.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Pa:  If you need anything, anything at all, just let me know.

Host Nurse says:
<Diggs> Nurse:  It is about time you got here!  You got the merchandise?  ::Scowling at her.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Follows the Captain on their way to the nursery.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and heads to the nursery.::

Host Nurse says:
Diggs:  Yeah, I got them.  Easy as pie!  ::Pointing to the box next to her.::  Now where is my money?

Pa_Hazzard says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  Thank you for everything you've done for my boy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Pa:  As I said, it has been an honor and a pleasure.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Enters the turbolift, deciding to hit one of the lower deck bars, hoping he can find some punk to bust for a minor offence, something to take his mind off of his mother.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Doesn't see the babies or the nurse and begins to panic.  Scanning the corridor for signs of the babies DNA.::

Host Nurse says:
<Diggs>  Nurse:  Right here, just like I promised!  ::Taking out the 10 strips of platinum.::  Someone wants these two mighty bad.  ::Hands them to the woman, takes the box then disappears.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Places the clamp to right of the artery, making sure it is secure.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes his scalpel again and severs the artery between the two clamps.::  CNS:  Keep it steady there.  ::Takes a smaller clamping device so it's easier to use it in the tight chest area.  Clamps the artery with the new device::  CNS: Perfect.  Now, let's see how this fits.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters room.::  OPS:  Lieutenant, just stopping in to see how things are going.  Where did the Commander go?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Starts to walk around the lower levels not really picking a destination, just walking.::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  I'm fine, and he went to see if he could assist with giving the twins a bath.

CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*:  I don't see the Nurse or the babies.  I'm scanning for them now.  Have they returned to you yet?

OPS_Nash says:
::Hears the COMM, and gets a panicked look on her face.::   *CSO*:  Tell me you are kidding.  I don't have them.

Host Nurse says:
ACTION:  Diggs is beamed out of the area.

CSO_Nash says:
*OPS* :  I'm not kidding.  I'm tracking their DNA pattern now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*:  Have you checked with the medical staff?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the clamp for the doctor.::

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  Not yet, Sir, but it was a single nurse that came in, and I followed her after about 5 minutes and she wasn't there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Starr*:  This is Captain Ayidee, does one of your nurses have the Nash Children?

OPS_Nash says:
*CSO*:  Oh my God!  ::Starts really panicking and begins to say over and over, "My babies, my Babies."::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Heads back to the patient's chest area.::  CNS:  All right, now.  All we need to do is to hold this to the coronary artery and determine where we need to place the ends.

CSO_Nash says:
*OPS/CO*:  DNA tracking is useless.  No pattern to follow.  They aren't showing up.

Host Starr says:
*CO*:  Let me check, Captain.  ::Gets on the intercom to the medical staff, then waits for a reply that is negative.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Overhears the situation.::  CTO:  Mr. Hazzard, what is your status?

OPS_Nash says:
::Feels like she is in a fog and not really aware of what is happening.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*XO*:  I'm on the lower level promenade.  What’s going on, Commander?

Host Starr says:
*CO*:  Captain, the staff says no one has them.  What has happened?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Places the artery next to the heart waiting for the doctor to connect it.::

Host Starr says:
ACTION:  The CTO hears a transporter beam.

CSO_Nash says:
::Begins searching the corridor looking for hiding places.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*:  Make sure that no one leaves this station.  Coordinate the security office and I want you to find someone with an unusual package or crate.  We may have missing kids.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Starr*:  Uncertain, but please have your staff conduct a search of your Medical Facilities.  Someone in a nurses uniform apparently came in and took them, figuring out what happened now.

OPS_Nash says:
::Her face is tear soaked.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Turns around and grabs four very small clamps.::  CNS:  Now, we have to clamp the coronary artery.  ::Places the clamps in place.::

Host Starr says:
*Staff*:  This is CMO Starr.  It appears as if we have a set of twins missing.  I need everyone to search sickbay quickly and quietly.  Let me know your results.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Hears the beam in and starts to head towards it, unhooking his phaser from his belt and moving towards the source of the beaming sound quickly.  *XO*:  Acknowledged.   Heading towards sound of a beam in or out.  Have Starbase Security initiate a full lockdown.  Investigating.  Hazzard out.

CSO_Nash says:
::Beginning to get angry he opens every door in the corridor coming across a discarded  medical tunic and an empty hypo.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Montegue*:  Commander, this is Captain Ayidee.  We may have a kidnapping in progress.  Two newborns have disappeared from the Medical facility.  Someone in a nurses uniform took them, but Doctor Starr says it wasn't one of her staff.  Can you lock down the station until we figure out what happened?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Adm*:  Admiral, we may have a major problem.  The Nash children appear to have disappeared.

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  I have some evidence in a storage closet on the medical wing.

Host Cmdr-Montegue says:
*CO*:  This is Sam Captain, I will alert security immediately.  I need descriptions on the newborns Captain.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Continues to head towards the sound of the transporter beam, setting his phaser to stun and closing in.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Montegue*:  I'll send you the initial scans.  Should provide plenty of data.  ::Moves to the medical monitors, isolates the information and forwards.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:  Tio, did I hear you correctly?

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  The children have been drugged.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*:  Contact security and keep the area secured until they arrive.  Station's been alerted.  We'll find them fast.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Pushes a button on her console.  Then sees the security alert from Sam come in.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Adm*:  I'm afraid so, Ma'am.  Not exactly sure what happened, but we're looking for them now.

OPS_Nash says:
::Feels like something reached in her chest and tore out her heart and is now stomping on it.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Starbase 33 hears the red alert klaxon go off, then the announcement of what has happened.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Enters the area where he heard the beaming take place, keeping his phaser at the ready.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*:  What is your status?

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye sir.  *Security*:  This is Commander Nash.  I have a crime scene ready for inspection.

Host Adm-Alexander  (Red Alert2.wav)

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Would you like to go assist Commander Nash or head to Security HQ?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes his scalpel again and makes a tiny incision in the artery, just large enough to place the new artery on top, covering the entire gap.::  Nurse:  Suture set!  Manual one please!  CNS:   Okay, turn that artery a bit for me please, this way.  ::Shows how to turn.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Secures the area.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I'll go rendezvous with Commander Nash.  I will keep you informed.  Heads up the corridor.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Turns the artery as requested and holds it in place.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:  Captain, the entire base has been put on alert, nothing leaves here or gets within beaming range.  We should find them quickly.

CSO_Nash says:
::Begins to pace very agitatedly getting angrier by the second.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
<Nurse> ::Prepares the sutures for the doctor.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Good, I'll move to Security and see what we can learn.  OPS:  We'll find them.  I promise.  ::Turns and heads quickly to Security HQ.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Ignores the red alert lights.  The sounds aren't audible, as it's been turned off during surgery.:: CNS:  All right, hold it steady like that.  Excellent.  ::Makes a little cut at the beginning of the artery, so he has more surface to suture.::

CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*:  I'm sorry, dear.  I should have went with her.  It's my fault.

Host Diggs says:
::Well crap, looks like they are already onto me.  This was NOT a piece a cake as I was lead to believe, as he begins to get off the promenade.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the artery while he begins to suture.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Kind of hears the Captain when he left, and she doesn't hear the CSO when he comm’d her.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Security office.::  Montegue:  Anything yet?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the suture set from the nurse and starts suturing the first part of the artery in place, checking a couple of times to make sure it's covering the small incision.::  CNS:  Steady.   ::Makes a few more sutures, partially crossing over the old ones.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Security*:  I want a trace on all intra station transport beams in the last 2 minutes.  Lock down all Turbo lifts.  No body goes anywhere until we find the purp!

CSO_Nash says:
::Begins to become even angrier when his comm is not answered.::  Self:  Someone is going to pay dearly for this.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Enters the room.::  CSO:  Don't worry Kevin, we will get the low lives responsible for this.

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CO:  Nothing yet.  I haven't heard from anyone.  I have their descriptions, but nothing so far.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Steadies the artery, ignoring the red alert lights.::

CSO_Nash says:
XO:  Not if I find them first.  ::Growls.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO:  I understand.  Now, what have you found in here?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Starts to race towards the nearest turbo lift hitting the emergency override.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Moves to an open console.::  Montegue:  I'm going to try and find out exactly who did this, checking Sickbay logs against crew manifests.  Should show us who did it at least, then we should have a better chance of tracking them down.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Finishes fixing the first part and goes on to make another incision for the other end to be attached.::  CNS:  Good work.  One side to go.  ::Makes a cut on the other side of the artery, just like at the first side, and begins to suture.::

CSO_Nash says:
XO:  Horrible evidence.  ::Hands him the hypo and the smock.::

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CO:  Looks like your CTO has a lead.  ::Asks the security person on duty for any transporting done in the last two minutes, he answers in the affirmative, one to the promenade and one to deck 67::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the artery steady.::

Host Cmdr-Montegue says:
CO:  Captain, we have two transporter traces, one on the promenade and one on deck 67.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  Promenade is too crowded, even if they went there, easy to slip into the crowd.  I'd suggest moving to deck 67 with the larger team.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Checks vitals.::  CMO: Vitals still okay, Sir.

OPS_Nash says:
::Begins to fall deeper into silent mode.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Runs a DNA scan on the smock and hypo.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Security*:  Is somebody going to respond to my request.  Get your heads out of the sand and give me a report.  This scumbag does not get a break .. NOT ONE!  I want security teams by airlocks and turbolifts.  We're looking for an individual with a large package, will be trying to avoid confrontations.  Be careful he has two babies.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sees he over-estimated the distance by about half a centimeter.::  Self:  Oh well, we'll suture that in place.  ::Makes the last few sutures on the second end of the artery, fixing that one too.:: CNS:  All right.  Release the clamp.

Host Cmdr-Montegue says:
*CTO*:  This is Sam, we have two traces, one on the promenade and one on deck 67.  Which are you closest to?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Releases the clamp and removes it from the heart.::

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Wants to leave the area and help but must remain for Ma..::  Self:  CTO:  Go get 'em son.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sutures the artery in place along the coronary artery, making sure it can't move anywhere anymore.  Once that's done, he put away all his gear.::  CNS:  One down, one to go.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Smiles at the nice work the doctor did, but sighs realizing there is another artery to go.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Sam*:  I'm at Deck 82.  Send security teams to both the promenade and deck 67.  Nobody gets off of those decks or the decks above and below them.  I want this scumbag .. alive.

Host Cmdr-Montegue says:
CTO:  This is Cmdr. Montegue to you, and that has already been done, Lt.  ::Scowling.::  I think we know our jobs, but if you would like to help, I might consider it.
