Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10603.05, Captain Ayidee recording.  Our efforts to track down LoDuca continue, and now that we've secured our cargo, we are ready to resume our journey to Nequencia to investigate the source of Syrinium as a route to locate the fugitive.

Host SM-Trish says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  XO: Are we ready to resume course for Nequencia?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: makes a few course corrections to the ship's plotted course, muttering to himself about civilian regulations and the lack of common sense that goes with them. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::In the Med Lab engrossed in his work::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::at his station, looking over the records still, trying to place the face and name::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sets the computer to find any data on Capt. Rose and the S.S. Antares.::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: Only pass by a registered trade ship if and only you have the necessary tonnage and warp capacity but not if.....Who WROTE this stuff?

CNS_Wells says:
::Triple checking his findings before taking his progress to the CO::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  From the Starfleet database, Captain Rose is just as he appears to be... a tired freighter Captain, eking a living.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::Notices another stress alert flicker on his station and curses, making the necessary adjustment to course speed again. :: CO: Sir, I'm reducing speed to Warp 3 for a minute till I can get a handle on how this pig flies...with your permission of course, sir.

CNS_Wells says:
::Feels confident he has found the answers, everything we wanted to know about Syrinium but, were afraid to ask::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Granted, just keep her tugging along.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Data on Captain Rose checks out, sir. He is just what he claims to be, sir.

OPS_Nash says:
::monitors the comm channels::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Understood, but that just means he may be more "open" to LoDuca's means of getting his way.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: nods and reduces the speed slightly...growling as the ship resists any change in its momentum. :: Self: Cheese and Crackers!  This thing is like trying to fly an elephant with oven mitts.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Counselor Wells to Captain Ayidee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: Go ahead, how goes the investigation?

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, I believe I have completed my work on the Syrinium mineral and I think I have some encouraging news to report.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: That's good news, what do you have?

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The port nacelle begins venting plasma.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Perhaps you are correct, but this living out in the middle of nowhere may make him tougher to crack.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::the information paints a very nasty picture, LoDuca ,must be kidnapping more scientists::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and corrects the course once again. His voice raising a bit as the shift begins to veer to starboard. :: CO: Captain...The port nacelle is venting...trying to compensate for course drift!

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Well, I think I have the cure. If you or the Admiral get the chance I'd like to show you my findings in the Med Lab, perhaps?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: I'll be down there in a few minutes.
FCO: Can you compensate?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CO: Attempting to now, sir...but it would really help if they could put that patch of duct tape back on the nacelle so it would stop venting.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Thank you, Sir. Wells out.

TO-Sare says:
CO: Captain, I have the Information you wanted. ::keeps an eye out at the horizon::

CNS_Wells says:
::Begins to prepare a make shift presentation but, this is still all very new territory for him::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A brief blip appears on the Short Range Tactical Sensors.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Anything in the area to watch out for that we know of?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: growls as he begins to grip his station. fingers tapping as he adds more and more maneuvering power to correct the drift. :: *CEO* Hey...anybody awake down there....a venting nacelle is making this job a little bit DIFFICULT!

TO-Sare says:
CO: I just got a blip on my SRS.  Checking it fully out now.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks to the chip from the device removed from Commander Worthington.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Good, but remember to try and limit scanner use to civilian types of scans.

CNS_Wells says:
::Cleans up all the empty coffee cups and half eaten donuts::

TO-Sare says:
CO: Got you. I am looking for a visual now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The chip does not activate.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Sir I am working on the venting plasma leak now.  Give me a few minutes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Counselor Wells seems to have made some progress, I'm going to head down and see what he has.  Keep an eye on whatever it is that Tactical has playing with their systems, and keep me informed on what's happening with that.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::begins to grin... perhaps she should talk to the CO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::finishes reading the reports and wonders why the ship is all over the place:: FCO: What is going on down there?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::leaving her suite, she takes the TL to the bridge::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: I've got a plasma vent problem on the port nacelle that is making flying this crippled pig a little more challenging...Engineering just called and said they are on top of it.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: That blip appears to be negative on LoDuca's energy signature . :: Points to the chip that is hard wired into his console.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands up and heads for the medical labs.::  *Adm*: Ma'am, Counselor Wells seems to have made a breakthrough.  Would you like to join me in the Medical Labs to check it out?

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::inching up the Nacelle maintenance tube towards the nacelle control main room she smacks her head again::

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Send a man to do a job and I end up having to do it myself.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Good, but keep an eye on it.  We don't know for sure that he's using his end, or that he only has one ship.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Exits Turbolift.::  CO:  Yes Tio, I have something I need to tell you first.  ::leans over to whisper to him::

Host XO_Worthington says:
FCO: Try not to kill us please.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Understood, sir.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::exits the tube and enters the main warp area::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: readjusts the course to once again set them on the correct plotted course. :: XO: Yes, sir.  Attempted suicide wasn't on my day planner either.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: That could prove useful, although I am hoping that we'll be able to handle things.  Still, that can't hurt.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir this place is a mess.  I am going to manually shut down the plasma leak here.  Have sickbay ready incase I get a few plasma burns.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks over at the OPS and grins. :: OPS: This is soooo not my fault.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: Understood, be careful in there.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Right now, who else do you want to know this information?  ::whispering::  I trust everyone on the bridge, but it is up to you.

TO-Sare says:
::continues to scan but cant see where the blip went, but it has disappeared from the SRS::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: I think I still have some chewing gum we can use if that will help, Chief.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::pulls out the coil spanner and heads into the Port side nacelle and begins to manually shut down the leak coil by coil and then replaces each coil one at a time::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The warp core goes into automatic shutdown.  The Serenity continues her forward movement, but begins to slow.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: For now, let's just keep it at the top.  Having an ace in the hole is something that should be held close to the hip.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Sir. I've just lost warp.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self:  This is going to take for ever.  *CO*: Sir I have like 7 coils that I have to replace and of course sir I will watch my backside.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*ALL*: Report!

OPS_Nash says:
::didn't hear a word Hazzard just said to her, her mind was replaying what happened to the twins because of LoDuca::  FCO:  I'm sorry, did you say something?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Sir...Warp core just did a full stop...I've got no warp power.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*FCO*: If chewing gum could help it would.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
OPS: Sorry Kyleigh, was trying to be funny.  Guess It'll have to wait.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  As you wish.  Now where are we going?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turbo Lift comes to the Medical Labs.::  Adm: We can let Commander Worthington know when we get back to the Bridge, of course.  But we're here, the Medical labs.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Of course it shut down I am replacing warp coils.

Host XO_Worthington says:
FCO: Have the rest of your flight team report to Engineering to assist with repairs.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods her head and follows him out of the lift::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Labs.::  CNS: Counselor, what do you have?

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*Engineering*: Get your bodies moving on restoring the warp core.  If I have to come down there and do it for you some of you will end up in nacelle maintenance guaranteed!!!

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees the Captain arrive with the Admiral:: CO/ADM: Welcome. Thanks for coming down.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Have you made some progress on the antidote? Or should I say vaccine?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
XO: Yes sir. On my way sir. :: stands up and heads to the TL. :: *Flight Team*: Alpha and Bravo shifts report to the Engineering section.  Find the nearest engineer and help them with whatever, Hazzard out. :: enters the TL and sends it to Engineering. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Well Sir, I've completed testing on the Syrinium samples and I think I've got it right.
ADM: I believe so, Ma'am.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Bloody coils, why on earth can't they use a different type of coil.  Geezzzz  I knew coming home to the Akira class was great but what in the devil did they do it this way for?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Wonderful... now if Nequencia has the ore we need, we will be ahead of the game.

CNS_Wells says:
::Hands them both a PADD:: CO/ADM: This is the analysis report on Syrinium.

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: As you see it is very complex.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: waits for the TL to stop as he walks into Engineering. :: ALL: Somebody call for a mechanic?

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: There are two interesting components to this ore.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looks down at the PADD::  CNS:  I am not a doctor, can you explain this to me in simple terms?

EO_Ens_Saunders says:
*CEO*: Sir we are working as fast as we can here.  We have major problems here!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: OK, can you break it down into terms that an astrophysicist can understand?

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: One is it has traces of copper.

EO_Ens_Saunders says:
FCO: Ah yes we do need help here sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: The Syrinium does?

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: The second, and more interesting is a element unknown to our computer data banks.

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: I'm calling it Component K.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I'm trying sir.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::sighs as he walks to where the EO is motioning and rolls his eyes.:: EO: Aw man...this patch job is uglier then my Uncle Albert in his birthday suit.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*FCO*: If you fire up the warp core while I am in here I will have you for supper.

TO-Sare says:
*CO*: I cant Identify the blip, the streets are pretty crowded.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Why Ensign, didn't they tell you?  I never roast a girl on the first date.  That's strictly fourth or fifth date material.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
EO: Okay, show me what you need me to do before the Chief decides to come down here and flail me with her hydro spanner.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::moves on to the next driver coil and shuts the plasma flow and removes it::

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: This Component K gives off a type of radioactive discharge. A radiation that will infuse with the diseased copper cells in the blood. It interacts with the blood cells present and changes their properties.

TO-Sare says:
*CO*: Err, I meant the airway is pretty crowded.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*FCO*: That you Mark?  Hazzard?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  So, without a doubt, the leukemia is made man?

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: It can eradicate the diseased cells, it knows which are which, and neutralizes the diseased cells.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::removes the malfunctioning coil and replaces it with the new one::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: No. its my evil twin Skippy....YES its me.  One of your minions is showing me how to realign this thingamabobber down here in Engineering.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::waits for an update from Engineering, wondering who broke what::

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: The simulations have all been positive.  With the supply I had I was able to produce about a teaspoon of serum.

CNS_Wells says:
BOTH: Of course we need a lot more to go into production.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  And how much does one person need at a time?  Is this a vaccine?

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*EO Saunders*: Work with the FCO.  Help him to help you guys out down there in engineering.  He is pretty good with engineering material.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm not a Medical doctor obviously, but it sounds rather convenient.  Is it possible that the disease was made to be cured by the serum?

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Yes Ma'am , Man made. Doctor Brabas was right. Caused by Metreon Cascade weapons emitting Metreon isotopes.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Looks at Tio::  CO:  Now what do we do?

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: This dosage would be a one time deal. It is that concentrated. I'm even thinking that with more work a vaccine could be developed to prevent infection. But for now we will have to settle for the cure.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
::is brought over to one of the sparking engineering stations...listening to the EO's instructions carefully as he readjusts the damaged equipment.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: It doesn't change anything.  Knowing that it's a created virus, disease, whatever, doesn't mean we don't have the need to stop it.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I'm not sure, Sir. But, if LoDuca knows about Neque it is a possibility.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I agree... we need to get to the ore quickly... I have this sickening feeling in my gut that this will be a race to the finish.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I still think Rose knew more than he let on. What if LoDuca wanted us to find his cargo. Is Neque a trap?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Commander, can you redistribute power to ..:: looks at the power tree chart that the EO is holding for him. :: OPS: Blocks 4a to 10c for five minutes...it might help speed up the patch job.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  He has a good point Tio...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Whether Rose is willingly involved or not, I'm expecting Neque to be a trap.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Good, then I don't need to recommend caution, Sir. ::Smiles::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*FCO*: Hazzard, are we going to just sit here all day or what? Would it help if I got out and pushed?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Was there anything in particular about Rose that leads you to suspect him, though?  From what we've seen, he may simply be another patsy.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*CO*: Almost done have like four more.  It is tricky.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A private communication comes into OPS for the CO.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::stepping over a lot of debris she moves on to the next defective coil::

Host Unidentified_Commander says:
#COM: Cherokee:  I need to speak to Captain Hardin please.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Unless he is highly incompetent I would think he would know more about what he brings on board his ship. If it was worthless like he claims, why take delivery?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*XO*: It just might sir.  But were already on top of repairs.  Just waiting on the CEO to finish replacing the warp coils on the port nacelle.

OPS_Nash says:
*FCO*:  For five minutes.  By the way, no breakfast foods allowed besides in the bowls or on plates.

OPS_Nash says:
*CO*:  A message has arrived fro you.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::begins to remove the coil and taps off the plasma flow and removes the coil::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: I sure would like to know where Rose got this supply. Any chance we can trace our cargo back to its roots? It had to come from Neque, unless it ain't so rare?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I've wondered about that as well, but I think it may have been "it's free, it may prove valuable to someone".  Besides, he may be done with his role in this.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Put it through on Med station Beta 13.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: If its value is not that of a medical nature than what is its other use?

OPS_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye.  ::reroutes to Med Station Beta 13::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: taps his badge to direct communication to the CEO :: *CEO*: Chief, not to rush you, but if we don't get moving soon, I think the XO is going to come down here and give the both of us a new orifice in our bodies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Don't get me wrong, but I'm believing that LoDuca may have found a way to manipulate Rose into doing what he wanted.  LoDuca is good at that.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*OPS*: Oatmeal works in mysterious ways, Commander...never forget that.

Host Unidentified_Commander says:
#COM: Hardin:  A friend of ours said you might want some company later.

OPS_Nash says:
*FCO*:  We'll see what works and what doesn't.

Host Cmdr says:
ACTION:  Communication is audio only.

CNS_Wells says:
CO/ADM: Regardless until we get more ore I'm afraid our work is at a stand still.  The cure has worked in simulated testing and under the microscope. Only thing left is to attempt on a live subject that is infected.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Cmdr: That we may, and with luck, perhaps we can get together with an "old friend".

Host Cmdr says:
#COM: Hardin:  Acknowledged Captain... for the moment, you 6 is covered.  Out!

CNS_Wells says:
ADM/CO: I hope this helps us. I think it will help those that are sick.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::finishes replacing the fifth coil and moves to the sixth one::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: If it does that, then it will help us.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::trips on something and hits the deck::

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
Out loud:  Razzlefrat!!!!!!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  You have done a fine job here.  Let's hope we can get to Neque before LoDuca does.

CNS_Wells says:
CO/ADM: I'm done, unless you have questions? I'll send you both a full report, of course.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: looks at another readout and lifts the panel lid. :: 
EO: I think this is all I can really help with...hopefully your boss is a good as I've heard. 
*XO*: Commander, we've got everything finished up in Engineering. just waiting for the Wrenchwench to finish her coil toils.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Thank you Ma'am, I'm pleased with my work.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'll need to read the report before I can ask any questions, but I trust your judgment in these matters.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  I am looking forward to the report.  
CO:  Tio, I am heading back to my quarters now.  Good to hear that transmission.

TO-Sare says:
::continues to work on the visual scans. nothing to suspicious has appeared yet.::

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
:: picks her self up and realizes it looks like a body::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*FCO*: Mr. Hazzard, once you are done with your nursery rhymes please feel free to return to your station, unless there is something else you need to break?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles as he heads to the TL :: *XO*: I didn't break the ship this time...the ship broke itself.  But I will take requests if you have any ideas.  I'm on my way to the bridge. Hazzard out.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*XO*: Sir there is a body here in the port nacelle tube.  I just fell over it.  Better tell medical to fetch him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: With luck, we'll have some more samples for you before long.  I'm headed back to the Bridge if you need anything else.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Any idea who it is or how it got there.?  
*CMO*: Med teams to the CEO's location, possible crime scene. 
TO: Get a team down there to start an investigation.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Watches them go then, goes to get a cup of coffee::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the TL and starts it toward the bridge. ::

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Jumping gee whiz man I can't get to the last one darn it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Lab, heading back to the Bridge.::

CNS_Wells says:
::Begins putting a report together. Will send to the Captain, Adm. Alexander, Doctor Brabas and Commander Nash::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Sir, we may have a bit of a situation. It appears the CEO has stumbled upon a body. No other info yet, starting an investigation.

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
::finally realizing what it was she fell over was not a body but some debris::

CEO_Ens_Bishara says:
*XO*: Sir I made an error I fell over some debris.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the bridge from the TL and moves to take his station. :: OPS:  I haven't been back aboard with you guys for more than an hour and we've already broken the ship.  Heh, just like old times.

TO-Sare says:
::straightens up a bit:: XO: Team assembled and ready. *Security Detail* Meet me in the shuttle bay.

CNS_Wells says:
::Begins but, stops momentarily for a good yawn and a stretch:: SELF: I've been in this lab for seems like weeks. I gotta get out of here.  Then, maybe, eventually, a good nap would be in order, ‘cause I'm talking to myself. Gary, get a grip.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Excuse me? That seems to be a pretty big mistake to have made. Are you sure?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
