Ship's Log, Stardate 11701.22, Tio Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee continues to assist Research Station 82 after an impact from one of it's supply vessels.  Repair and aid crews are working to restore station operations and initial steps into the investigation have begun.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, overseeing the recovery operation.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::retrieves his tricorder with the freighter's computer logs and prepares to return to the Cherokee::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::On the station moving about the injured, doing what he can::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge, at OPS::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
@*Cherokee* Q'ten to the Cherokee, one to beam up::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Medical Teams> ::On Station.::  CNS: Sir, Doctor McIntyre returned to the ship to try and help in Sickbay.  Most of the rest of the off-duty staff are pitching in here to assist.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Transport him to the Bridge if you would.  As the station is getting back under normal operations I'd like to have a lead on what exactly caused this.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::does as asked.::

ACTION: The CTO is Transported to the Bridge.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Medical Teams: That's fine.  I was wondering, what's the condition of the station's infirmary?  The worse cases can go there if it's operational.  I think the Cherokee's Sickbay is almost filled.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::materializes on the bridge:: CO: I have the freighters computer logs sir. Hopefully they can tell us what happened.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Station Operations> *Station Personnel*: Attention all hands, Primary systems are back on line, secondary systems are coming on line by priority status.  Once your department is ready please perform a level 3 diagnostic to ensure all are working properly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: That would be a good start.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: The ship's owner/pilot transported to the station, presumably to arrange delivery of his cargo, shortly before the collision.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Medical Teams> CNS: Yes it is, although to be fair Station Infirmary isn't exactly empty.  Now that they are back up and running the treatment should proceed well.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO As I understand it station personnel are trying to track him down now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Medical Teams: I guess we keep doing what we're doing here then.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Ties his tricorder into the ship's computer to start analyzing them.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Medical Teams> CNS: Seeing a lot of injured here, not like there's much other choice than to get to it and provide relief.  ::Moves to an injured scientist and starts treating.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, the freighter's navigation logs note that the pilot entered orbit around the station, and set the ship to auto-pilot before beaming to the station. But then after beaming to the station the logs become seriously degraded.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Medical Teams: I'm headed into Sector 4.  I hear things are restored there.  I'm sure there are those needing treatment there.  Things are pretty calm out here.  I'll take a team with me and leave a team here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Medical Teams> CNS: Yes sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::gets a message from Starfleet::  CO: Starfleet sent word that there are 3 other ships enroute to help with this matter.  The first one should be here in about 3 hours, then the next one in 5, and the last one in about 9 hours.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Grabs a bunch of supplies and heads for Sector 4::  Medical Teams: Take all the stuff you can carry.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Degraded?  Computer Code on even the most outdated Warp Capable vessels doesn't just degrade.  That would cause almost instant death.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It's the same with the communication logs, sir. Shortly after the pilot beamed to the station the comm logs become seriously degraded.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Acknowledged, send our thanks and CC them on any reports we get from Medical and Engineering to keep them up to speed.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Yes sir, it's as if someone set the logs to degrade to prevent anyone from finding out what happened.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: We need to find that pilot sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: That we do.  Anything on ship logs about the time the degradation happened?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Right away.  ::sends the appropriate thank you and the pertinent information about the matter at hand.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Arrives in Sector 4 and looks around.  He sees plenty of bodies littering the station's floor.  He approaches one who is not moving and begins diagnosis::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Only that it started just after the pilot beamed out.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I'm going to go over our own sensor logs to find out if any communications were detected.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Repair Crews> CNS: He was here on his way to the lower fusion reactors to perform some maintenance.  Got caught in the impact.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Finds the patient unconscious and decides to leave them that way while he treats the injuries::  Repair Crews: I'll revive him once he's been sewed back up and his burns tended to.  He's almost lucky he's unconscious.  The pain must have been too much for him so his mind shut down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Friedheim> COM: Cherokee: Friedheim to Cherokee, we have found the pilot of the freighter.  He is confused as to what happened and seems to have no idea, but we are keeping him confined to quarters until we figure out just what happened.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Sir, sensors confirm that the freighter did indeed receive a signal just moments after the pilot was beamed out... I'm having some trouble finding the source.  The signal was bounced from several transmitters in the area, obviously an attempt to hide the origination point.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Regenerates several tears in the flesh after cleansing the area of blood::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Good theory, and would fit the confusion Friedheim reported.  Still need to find out who it was even if it wasn't the pilot.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I would like a chance to question the pilot sir.  I promise I'll behave myself.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I am certain that can be arranged.  Research Station's typically have a minimal Security complement.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Baby goat gloves, you have my word.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Repair Worker> ::Watches a few steps back from the CNS, obviously worried.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Tears the crewman's clothing to get to the damage.  Uses the tissue regenerator to repair the burned areas of the patient's body.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If this was done intentionally, why might be more important than who right now.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Exactly what I was thinking sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Finally, he gives the patient a hypo of an antibiotic, a pain killer and one of an adrenaline solution which should wake him up::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Repair Tech> CNS: Is Trell going to be all right?  Please tell me you can help him,...

@ACTION: After a few moments, the patient starts to stir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If I was to plan an attack on a station, power transfer wouldn't exactly be a major target.  Power Generation, weapons, shields.  Lots of more damaging targets.  This only took out systems for an hour or two.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Repair Tech:  I believe so.  Right now I was hoping someone could escort him to your station's infirmary.  He should be thoroughly examined and observed.  On the floor here is such unsanitary conditions, we want to watch out for infection.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: perhaps the station was not the target sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Patient: You've been injured.  I've treated you and believe you will make a full recovery.  Right now, I'm sending you to the infirmary.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Repair Tech> CNS: I can get him there.  That way he at least knows who is with him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Trell> CNS: What happened?  I was just walking along, next thing I know you're waking me up?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Repair Tech: Thank you.  ::Goes to sanitize his hands before moving on to the next patient::
Patient: The station was hit by a freighter.  Other than that, I know very little about the accident.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Repair Tech> Trell: I'll catch you up.  We had a ship loose control.  
CNS: Thank you for your help.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I believe I should question Commander Freidman as well sir.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@Repair Tech: You're welcome.  ::Finds another victim with severe lacerations and begins treatment::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Work with Commander Friedheim I think is the right term.  His station was just attacked, but yes, he might be able to figure out what the objective was.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: According to the freighters manifest, he was carrying a replacement sensor pallet for the station. One of theirs was damaged when it overloaded several weeks ago.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Tricorder says patient has an acute head trauma but, the skull was not fractured::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: I would like to find out the circumstances concerning that overload.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Understood, but remember, this may be a research station but it still functions as a Starbase.  Traffic comes in and out at a fair pace.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::The patient is awake and alert::  Patient: Hold still.  Your arm is bleeding pretty bad.  Begins patching the arm together.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: jIyaj.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Patient> CNS: Ugh, thanks.  Hurts like you wouldn't believe.  ::Cringes.::  Got knocked down by a chunk of flying debris.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Contact the station.  Commander Friedheim is probably a bit busy right now but I'm guessing he could get you to see the pilot soon enough.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Kneeling in a puddle of blood, Wally repairs the tear with a regenerator in one hand and holds the skin together with the other as he moves up the length of the arm::  Patient: Well, it looks like the chunk of flying debris wins the title fight and the championship belt.  I'll give you something for the pain::  ::Hits the area with a hypospray::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Patient> ::Cringes again.::  CNS: Guess saying it was a cheap shot won't help my record...  ::Starts laughing between cringes.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
@::Smiles at the patient::  Patient: Definitely a sucker punch.  Take heart, you'll be fine.  The chunk of debris is headed for the scrap heap.
::Finishes with the arm::  Patient: Within the next few days you should have your head examined.  If you feel any unsettling symptoms, report to the infirmary at once.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<Patient> CNS: Thanks Doc.  Will do, I know the drill and what can happen if not followed.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Patient: I'll find you someone to escort you to the infirmary.  I think you're good to go but, best be sure::
