ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 9 - 11310.29

Summary:  The Tor Vera glides into the assigned docking bay and lands in a long line of smaller vessels.  From inside the Tor Vera the docking bay looks old and well used.  The deck plating is covered with layers of aged stains and only broken by flashes of painted graffiti.  The only comfort the away team has is knowing that the Claymore was only minutes away hidden in the Black Nebula…

******************** Resume Mission **********************

CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Appears to have emerged from the lower deck:: ALL: What did I miss?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Finishes unpacking the last few items from her pack into her new quarters::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Pulls on a fake leather jacket (well, it's replicated, at the least), expecting it to be colder than he'd like, and follows Penn out from below decks::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Grimaces slightly at the number of already docked ships, even if it was expected, and wonders how many of them might be willing to chase them out if it comes to that::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::At the helm station just finishing the landing procedures before shutting down the engines, glancing back as the CEO and XO enter the bridge.::  XO/CEO:  We've just completed docking.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Dinner complete, heads for his office...  last shot at paperwork before crashing for the night::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::In her office, continuing her scans of the two DNA-alteration devices, the first now thoroughly disassembled for closer inspection::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::His voice slightly more detached and devoid of emotion than usual, his expression wary and unsmiling::  CNS:  All right.  Be ready to go in two minutes.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Finishes eating and heads for deck 8::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Picks up his generic PADD from nearby the console at which he'd been sitting, and tucks it in his jacket pocket::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Nods to the XO pausing for a moment at his voice, making a mental note to talk to him later to see if something was wrong.  Locks his console and quickly stands up moving toward the back to grab his jacket and gear.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Heads down the corridor for the CAG's office.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Adjusts her uniform and sighs before starting towards sickbay::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: So ... What is it we are doing here again? ::Looks serious::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Takes a deep breath, closes his eyes a moment, reading over the details of his cover identity again in his mind's eye::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO:  We're just looking.  Taking in as much as possible, looking for names, faces, layouts of the station...we sell our goods, and we get out again, preferably as quickly and smoothly as possible.  Don't talk any more than necessary...it always leads to trouble.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters the flight deck and walks across the deck looking for Hawk::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Stands from his seat and tilts his head slightly to work out a kink from sitting before moving back away from the consoles, ready to go::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Tucking a few items into his pockets he moves over toward the XO waiting to depart.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@All:  Questions?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Wrinkles her nose as she reviews the results of another scan, tapping at the tricorder almost petulantly::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: Right! ::Stays quiet his ears and eyes open. ::Is quite glad to be out of that ship he never managed to get the smell out of the floor boards::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@All:  All right, let's go.  ::Taps the button to activate the airlock, and after waiting patiently for it to cycle, steps through and into the station::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Arrives outside the Chief Medical Officer's office and rubs her scarred arm for a moment before knocking::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands just outside of the CAG's office and rings the chime::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Without looking up, calls out::  ENTER
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances up from her work as she hears the knock, and a quick, inscrutable smile flickers across her face, before she straightens her demeanor and gestures for Stevens to enter her office, as she as well stands to her feet::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Steps in and stands at attention:: CMO: Ensign Stevens reporting for duty....ma'am?

@SCENE:  The main doors to the station open as the away team approach.  The foul stench of death and decay blow out from the corridor.   A strange silence follows as the few remaining lights flash a blood red down the darkened corridor.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks into the office and glances around a bit.::  CAG: Mr. Hawk
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Recoils a bit as he's struck by the stark, awful smell, covering his face with his forearm for a moment before moving into the corridor::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Blinks as he follows the others out, pausing a preparation to pretend to be working out kinks in confusion::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Startled, jumps to his feet::  CO:  Captain!  I apologize, I thought it was Warren with the daily reports.  ::Takes a breath::  What can I do for you, Captain?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@ALL: Uh ::Uncertain:: We are not the cleanup crew are we? ::Crosses fingers::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Rubs his nose at the unexpected stench,::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: At ease Mr. Hawk.  This is just an afterhours check in with as busy as things have been I haven't had a chance to visit you since you've been released from Sickbay.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Something else flickers across her face, but quickly passes, replaced with a pleasant, professional smile:: ::In response to the bit of inquiry in the ensign's voice:: MO: I prefer "Doctor."  
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stuffs his hands in his jacket pockets::  All:  We'll stick together for now.  ::Starts off down the corridor, trying to make out anything of much use in the corridor's dank and intimidating lighting::

CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Glances to Damrok and looks around more obviously than he intended to originally as he steps onto the station, clamping his mouth closed a bit more as the smell fully hits him::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances over Stevens in an almost sort of judgment, the results of which aren't immediately clear:: MO: Please...at ease.  And not that silly formal sort of ease.  Real ease, if possible.  ::Smiles a little, encouragingly::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Gestures to the seat across for his desk and for the CO, then sits::  CO:  It's been a bit busy, Captain.

@ACTION:  As the away team begins down the dark corridor they can here cracking under their boots.  The smell of decaying flesh continues to grow stronger...

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Smiles at the corner of her lips and nods as she relaxes:: CMO: Thank you, Doctor. I'm glad to be onboard.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Quickly moving to follow the others he glances down at the crunching beneath his feet.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: And I'm glad to welcome another doctor aboard. ::Gestures for one of the smaller, yet comfortable chair across from her desk, as she herself moves to the more executive one behind it:: MO: Please, have a seat. Would you care for some water, or tea?
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Looks slightly down, not wanting to take his eyes too much off the corridor ahead of them right at the moment, but tries to step a bit lighter and starts actively fighting the urge to bring an arm up over his face::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes the seat offered and nods::  CAG: Aye that is has Mr. Hawk.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Attempts to look down at his feet::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CMO: Water. Thank you. ::Sits down and watches the doctor::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: How are you feeling?  Any complications?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods slightly, perhaps with the slightest hint of approval or agreement, as she passes her chair and instead accesses the replicator just beyond her desk:: Replicator: Two waters, please.  ::Pauses as the glasses are materialized::

@SCENE:  The corridor opens into a huge general area.  Large store fronts form the center of the large circular room.  The lights continue to blink red, but there are other white lights near the ceiling that show bodies in several states of decay on the deck...

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes the two glasses and returns to her seat, resting them on the desk before she sits, then sliding one across to Stevens:: MO: I've been reviewing your file, Ensign.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stops short as they enter the general area, looking up, then back to the deck::  All:  ...My word.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::A strange look flashes for a moment, then is gone::  CO:  Doesn't seem to be, Captain.  Some very.... strange... dreams during the process, seemed awfully real to me, but everything seems to have turned out okay.  Doctor Raeyld is really to be commended....  she put in an incredible number of hours to solve my...  problem.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: What killed all these people? I hope the air is not toxic.

CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Almost bumps into the XO when he stopped, his eyes on the bodies around them.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Seizes up momentarily before doing her best to relax as she takes the glass offered her:: CMO: Thank you. What are your thoughts so far, Doctor?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Flips out his generic little tricorder, not expecting to get a ton of useful data from the off-the-shelf device, but figures it's worth a look anyway::

@SCENE:  The bodies have most of their flesh melting off the bones.  Bodily fluides have poured out onto the deck around the bodies.  Most of the bodies look like they were in the middle of crawling before they died.

CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods at Damrok's words, not willing to open his mouth to let in more stench even if he could think of his own, and glances around quickly, looking very closely for weapons or the signs of them::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CAG: Indeed she was very concerned about you as we all were.  But, if you had to have anyone take care of you she is the most capable.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: Well... ::Lifts her glass and takes a sip, swallowing it slowly, as if only now turning over the idea in her mind::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Are you still having these dreams?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Bends over and becomes sick:: ALL: Sorry guess I should not have eaten before coming here. ::Wipes his mouth with his hands then his hands on his pants::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: I must say it will be refreshing to serve with someone else who grew up outside of Federation space, for a change.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Resists the urge to scratch, hoping the desire to do so was just psychosomatic.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Tries to smile but only manages to wince:: CMO: Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking, that is.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  No...  ::Shakes his head at the memory::  but it was so vivid...  the colors, the smell  ::Hesitates::  the fear...
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Takes a slight shifting step away from Penn just in case it happens again, but continues a near desperate scan for something that could be used as a weapon...or at least signs that the bodies got hit by one, to remove the other possibilities of their deaths::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Lays a hand on Penn's shoulder::  CEO:  No apology necessary.  ::Looks to his tricorder::  All:  ...These readings indicate thalaron radiation, but I've not seen anything like it.  A few of the bodies have clear phaser burns on their backs...  ::Looks up for a moment, then to each of his crewmates in turn::

@ACTION:  A loud crash echoes in the room.  Footsteps can be heard running.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: If you don't mind talking about it what were the dreams about?  ::Looks at the fear in his face::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Flinches at the loud sound coming from one of the rooms.  Turning toward the sound.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles a little:: MO: Nowhere in particular.  

CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Resists the urge to curse under his breath and crouches slightly, glancing very quickly to Damrok to see if they're retreating or standing::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Quietly, but urgently::  All:  Against the wall.  ::Silences his tricorder and checks for the lifesign that accompanies the obvious footfalls::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slides open a drawer and pulls out a PADD. Sort of glancing at it as if referencing it, but clearly isn't looking too closely; the information is already at hand:: MO: But there a concerning bit about combat medicine here...
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Moves up against the wall::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Moves toward the near entrance to the hall, flattening himself against the entryway from which they came::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@XO: We need to find a data terminal we need logs... find me a computer interface... ::Looks at the CNS wondering if his moment of weakness is going in a medical report of him he is so young his career just got started he does not want people thinking he is weak::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods and flattens himself against the wall, looking hard for any sign of movement::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Seems to draw inward a moment, then sighs::  CO:  The first parts was just...  strange.  But eventually, I ended up at this large black ship.  I boarded it and the Jarrow was there.  But full of dead and decomposing bodies...  the flesh was...  melting off of them.  I left the Jarrow and the black ship was full of these melting bodies...  They were on the deck, in the overhead....  the fluids began to cover me, I went down, couldn't breath...  ::His voice which had been getting quieter, stopped.  A slight shudder and then a weak smile::  Then I was awake and looking up at the good Doctor.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Whispered::  All:  Human male, thalaron burns.  ::Glances back to them::  We should help...they might have information.  ::Tilts his head to Kytides::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CTO:  You're with me.  CEO/CNS:  You have five minutes to find a computer and pull what you can.  We need to get out of here.  We're underequipped to deal with a situation like this.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Swallows and tries to keep her voice steady:: CMO: Yes, Doctor. I've had some experience with.....rudimentary medical training. Star Fleet offered to teach me so I could continue to do what I love. Heal.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Grimaces slightly, mouth still held tight, but nods to Damrok and readies himself::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CEO/CNS:  If we don't rendezvous with you at the transport in half an hour, go without us and get what information you can off this station.  ::Darts off, following his tricorder's signal toward the wounded man::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Launches himself off the wall after Damrok, breathing very carefully and taking his own tricorder out of a pocket, just in case they get separated::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods slightly:: MO: Pleased to hear that's your passion. Do you consider your medical training to now be complete, then?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Leave without them? I'm not the only one the smell is getting to, honestly!
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Continues to run past the empty stores.  His leg brace slowing him.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow a bit concerned by his dream::  CAG: Could you tell where you were?

MO Ens Stevens says:
::A slight smirk starts to spread to her face:: CMO: Training? Yes. But my learning is only beginning
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Nods to the XO before glancing over at Penn.::  CEO:  Yeah not sure I'd want to explain that to the captain.  Where do you think is the best spot to find a console that will work?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Attempts to pull off a nearby panel, reveal the circuits underneath and scan it with his repair reader to see if he can lock onto the nearest computer terminal::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: When in doubt follow the wires .. they have to lead somewhere.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Frowns::  CO:  Not really...  on a cliff, falling...  or maybe flying down to the black ship.  ::Looks up sheepishly::  I'm sorry, Captain.  I know it sounds pretty stupid in the telling.  But at the time...  seemed awfully real.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::She could see how much this bothered him to talk about but he also looked like he needed someone to talk to::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Slides in someone’s biomass as he tries to stop at a turbo lift.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues past the storefronts at a decent clip, the simple little shops and otherwise pleasant, almost familiar surroundings turned jarringly macabre by the corpses and poor lighting::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles a little, clearly in some ways satisfied with Steven's answer, yet there's some sense of there being something more...  She pauses to take another drink of water::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Stands holding the wall hitting the button to call the lift repeatedly.::  Outloud:  Come on come on......
CNS Lt Foster says:
@CEO:  Let hope so.  ::Moves slightly away from where the CEO was working looking for any other console.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: There's something you should know...but before I go into it, I'd like to ask: Did you request assignment on the Claymore, and if so, why?  Or were you assigned here by Starfleet regardless of will?
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Holds off on starting a scan yet, for now matching Damrok's pace and keeping his attention settled on not tripping over a body::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Not at all Mr. Hawk.  I'm sure it felt very real with what you are describing.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@CEO:  I'm not seeing anything down here, might have to find the operations deck.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CTO:  Just a little further.  ::Increases his speed to a jog::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Lowers her head:: CMO: I asked for this assignment. And....I hope that I don't get in trouble for it.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Shrugs and looks up, speaking more briskly::  CO:  Either way, I'm sure you didn't come down here to listen to me cry about bad dreams.  To answer your original question, ma'am...  I'm all patched up and fit for duty.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: These pathways lead up a few decks perhaps a command center. Let’s find a turbolift.
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Continues to tap the console.::  Outloud:  No... please come on...
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods, not sparing the breath for words since he doesn't want to breath in any harder than he already is, and increases his pace::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Nods.::  CEO:  Makes sense, let’s get moving, times running out.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Has the turbolift and the man in his relative line of sight, now, though it's difficult to actually see ahead into the shadows::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Tilts her head, looking to Stevens a bit oddly, and a bit bemused:: MO: In trouble? For asking to be posted to the Claymore?
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Moves off down the corridor, spotting a turbolift nearby.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Clears her throat in a fashion that might possibly be misconstrued as a chuckle:: MO: Ensign Stevens, you will most definitely get trouble for asking to be assigned to the Claymore - but not -in- trouble, I assure you.
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Notices the shadow in the distance and tries to run, but slips and falls.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Looks up just slightly:: CMO: ...is it.....alight to do so with ulterior motives?
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Begins to scramble on all fours trying to find the traction in all the decomposed fluids.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I don't mind Mr. Hawk.  Clearly you need someone to talk to.  I am glad that you are better as far as not being under the control or risk of the device.  But, these dreams sound concerning.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Not at shouting level, but certainly loud enough to be heard as he slows his approach somewhat::  Aloud:  It's all right.  We're here to help.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Winces at the figure's tumble and slows as he puts more attention on the floor below him to avoid copying his mistake, the back of his mind railing against the details::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: That will do. See if you can call the lift.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Smiles sincerely:: MO: You certainly wouldn't be the first one.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Puzzled::  CO:  Concerning how, Captain?  I assure you, they aren't affecting my performance, ma'am.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Steps into the lift hitting the command console to see if it was still working.::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Continues to try and crawl through the bodies.::  Outloud:  Stay away...  I didn't see anything.  Honest I just got here.  ::Falls into a pile of rotting bodies and rolls onto his back.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Visibly relaxes:: CMO: Thank you, Doctor
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I do not question they are affecting your performance Mr. Hawk.  I just meant clearly they still haunt you and it is something you should talk to someone about either myself or even the Counselor.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Slows to a halt at the unknown man, careful of his footing, and looking down for a moment, offers his hand::  Coxs:  ...Here to help.  Don't worry.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Leans forward, resting her elbows on the desktop in an almost casual, intimate fashion:: MO: Here's what you should know, Ensign...
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Breaks off slightly from Damrok's route, to move slightly off to the side but still within the man's field of view::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: Any luck?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::More obviously then he intended, goes into shields up mode::  CO:  I'll certainly take that under advisement, Captain.  Thank you for your concern.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@CEO:  Looks to be operational.  ::Waits until the CEO is in the lift and orders it to the operations deck.::
Dr. Coxs says:
@Outloud:  Oh god...   That..  That's what they said.  You came back?    You knew someone survived...  ::Pulls a small disruptor from his pocket.::  Stay back!
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::enters the lift::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Raises his hands::  Coxs:  No no!  We've never been on the station before.  ::At a split second, makes a decision and immediately breaks his cover if he needs to before he ever really got to use it, though he doesn't know what will happen::
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@CNS: I guess I looked kind of silly back there getting sick when no one else did? ::Glances sidelong at Foster::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pauses a moment to ensure she has Steven's absolute 100% attention::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@Coxs:  We're unarmed.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Lifts up his hands some and aside from that stops his movement completely, mentally cursing the situation::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::His hand shaking holds the disruptor tightly.::  Outloud:  Stay back.   ::Begins to try and push himself back sliding further into the mush.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Looks at the CMO, eager for any advice::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Hands still raised::  Coxs:  Staying back -- don't worry.  ::Takes a deep breath::  What happened here?  We want to help.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Glances over at Penn.::  CEO:  Not at all, many have issues like that when first coming across a scene like that one.  It’s normal.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::When the turbolift comes to a stop and the doors open he peers out a moment to see if they are in Operations::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Bolts to his feet then falls the disruptor fires at Damrok burning a small hole in the leather jacket.::   Outloud:   No...  ::Slams the disruptor against the decking.  Then tries to fire it again.  With no results.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: While aboard the Claymore, you will encounter threats, disasters, and atrocities beyond your worst nightmares. Every fiber of your moral fabric will be tested time and time again. You will be pushed beyond your limits, and then pushed further, and then pushed further again, until you think you most certainly will snap. And then...you probably will.

@SCENE:  Deep within operations the decking is covered with bodies in the same state of decay.  The computer terminals all seems to be online.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Notices a change in his posture::  CAG: This is not a formal visit Hawk you can relax.  I only wanted to make sure you were doing all right.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: Every single one of us on the Claymore has endured that, time and time again.  Some don't. Some only experience...but do not endure. They survive, or do not, and then move on, one way or another.
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Pokes his head out of the turbolift.::  CEO:  Looks like this is it and it’s all online.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Flinches a moment as his brain struggles to process the fact that he's not dead::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Exasperatedly, lowers his hands::  CTO:  Take the weapon, please, before he hurts himself.  ::Lowers his hands::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: If you are worried I am questioning you being back on full duty don't.  There is no need to question that.  But, I know how dreams and memories can haunt someone.  So if you need someone to talk to...
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Nods slowly::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Plus I believe you owe me a drink.  ::Slight smile on her face::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: I will do what I can to help you determine whether or not you are an endurer, -before- the opportunities not to survive. But timing isn't always on our side. This mission we're on now may well turn terribly wrong. I just...can't say. 
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Tries to keep from looking too long at the bodies and gore littering the floor.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: But I can give you some small advice on how to endure, if you are willing.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks down for a second, ashamed of his reaction::  CO:  I'm sorry Captain.  I really DO appreciate the concern.  ::Sighs and continues::  I guess there's been a lot for me to absorb.  ::Smiles::  But I'll get it and that drink sounds very good.  ::Gestures out::  After you, ma'am?
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Steps off the lift, and careful not to trip he inspects several consoles:: CNS: This is an old Buckingham station. Access to the main computer should be, right .. over ... here. ::Comes to stops at the Senior Operations Manager's post::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Launches himself forward at the shot reflexively, but then breathes - and regrets - a sigh of relief as Damrok's voice calmly sounds on the way by, slowing slightly and grabbing for the man's wrist with one hand to remove the phaser with the other::
MO Ens Stevens says:
CMO: I've endured many horrible things. But any advice you can share, would be most appreciated, Doctor
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Walks up to the doctor again, pointedly ignoring thoughts of what...or, rather, who...he might be standing in, and extends a hand once more::  Coxs:  You have a choice.  Continue running through this station scared for your life, or trust me, and come with us.  We will help, I promise you.  ::Stares down to him with confident assurance::
Dr. Coxs says:
@::Struggles slightly only to ensure Kytides is also covered in a large layer of decaying biomass and rotting fluids.  Then gives up the struggle.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
@::Nods as he steps out into operations, keeping a watch out,, pulling out his basic scanner.::  CEO:  Anything I can help you with?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods and stands::  CAG: No need to apologize Hawk.  There has been more than your share of things to absorb lately.  But, you will get through it as we all have.

Dr. Coxs says:
@::Spits at Damrok.::  XO:  Sure just like we trusted Starfleet.  Before they boarded the station and killed anyone still alive....
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Smiles::  CO:  No choice...  it's not like the Clay actually takes a break now and then.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Leans forward, pure intensity in her eyes, although the rest of her expression remains carefully professional:: MO: Talk.
CEO LtJG Penn says:
@::Attempts an old override code on the computer:: CNS: There should be a supply locker just inside the lounge off there to the left. ::points to another door leading off the main floor. In there you will hopefully find a supply locker with a tricorder. Or at the least an isoliniar chip we need something we can download the logs into.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: Talk to someone. As often as possible. About anything. Not even necessarily about what's troubling you. What's haunting you. But to manage here...you must talk to someone. Or what we do will consume you until there is nothing left.   
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Winces, the human detritus not making the breath to regain air from the sigh any more pleasant, and starts to release the man's arm carefully...but freezes at his act and words, looking over to Damrok::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
MO: Counselor Foster is an excellent listener, and someone I speak with frequently. My door is almost always open to you. We have a wonderful staff here, and even Captain T’Shara and Commander Damrok are always willing to listen if something is troubling you. But if you don’t. If you suffer in silence…you will only suffer.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Thanks all of the deities that he chose not to break cover::  Coxs:  Look, we're just traders.  I don't know what happened here, but it's pretty clear we need to get off the station.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
