CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::standing on the bridge watching the crew go about their assigned duties::

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge in her chair::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::shakes head at the report coming in:: CO: Captain...we just go another report of a third murder.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::in sickbay::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::In Sci Lab 1::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: A third murder?  How interesting.  The same way the other two were murdered?

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Have you completed your research on the planet of Terazed and its culture?

CON_Gunn says:
#::Going over the autopsy reports of the victims::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Appears so. All three have been pretty well mutilated.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: Please work with the XO on coming up with some viable information on what we are dealing with.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I have, Captain.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CSO*: Mr. Stidd please report to the bridge and your station.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::in main engineering, looking over maintenance logs::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Aye

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::reading over one of many reports sitting on her desk::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.  On my way up now.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
FCO: ETA  to Terazed?

Host N`F_S`D says:
COM: Don Johnson: This is Council Head N'F S'D, are you our assistance?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
*CMO*:Lieutenant....::sounding formal:: reports incoming indicate a third body. Fairly well mutilated. Just a heads up.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
*TO* Thank you Commander ::keeping her voice as even as his::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::Looks at OPS::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: Commander...shall we compare notes?

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Terazed is M Class, some space travel, barely warp 1, and a little behind in Technology.  It has a colony that refuses to use the advanced equipment but they do use communications.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
:: Enters on the bridge and reports to the Science station:: Computer: Configure to Stidd Alpha 311.

EO Reese says:
::approaches the CEO::  CEO:  So?

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Sure, Commander, what do you have?

CON_Gunn says:
#::Adjusts his eye patch as he looks over the photographs of the mutilated bodies::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::while still reading the logs::  REESE:  So, what? Ensign.

OPS Saunders says:
CO: Captain I have an incoming hail.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
OPS: On screen.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Have you met our new CO?

OPS Saunders says:
::puts it on the screen::

Host N`F_S`D says:
Gunn: Any new evidence?  Doc come up with a cause for those wounds?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: Just preliminary info. 3 badly mutilated bodies and no one knows what's going on down there. How can one not have at least a suspect after one. I have basically what you have. Until I can or Beta team gets down there. I don’t have much to go on

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
COM: This is USS Don Johnson: N'F_S'D, I am Captain Iron Horse here. I assume we are your help as you put it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
:: The science console reconfigures into something that is totally unorthodox for a standard science station but it is one that Stidd handles with ease::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::still reading::  REESE:  Not yet.  But don't worry, I'm sure he'll make his way down here eventually.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Sounds like we have a mystery on our hands, then, doesn't it Commander.

Host N`F_S`D says:
COM: Don Johnson: CO: Wonderful, we'll be waiting for you at the village center.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::looks at the FCO::

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: Nothing yet, supposedly they are throwing the entire staff on it, but I have my doubts about them.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
FCO: I believe I asked you for an ETA.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Commander Harrison is Astrometrics says he's a full blooded Native American Indian.  Wears a feather head dress and everything.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
COM: Don Johnson: N'F_S'D, we will be there shortly.  Iron Horse out!

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::looks up at Reese briefly, then returns to reading::  Reese:  I think Commander Harrison is pulling your leg.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::places the PADD she was reading on one side of her desk and picks up another::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: That it does. Once we get a look at the scene and evidence. I was going to run it though the ships data base and see if things match at all. I recommend sending a small team down until we can get the lay of the land.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Agreed, assemble a team.

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: The mutilations were quite...intense. I have never seen anything like this in my thirty-five years of service.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  I didn't think there were any more Indians left.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Oh I imagine they're scattered about laddie.  ::looks at Reese::  Finish inspecting that plasma manifold yet?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: You should know me by now...Beta team is ready to go at a moments notice...::lowers his voice::...Commander, personal request if I may.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::moves in closer:: TO: What is it, Lemmick?

FCO Gasser says:
CO: Sir I heard you the first time...::makes the final calculation::...ETA is....

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Oh yeah, an hour ago.  ::hands over a PADD::  Diagnostics are in the green.

FCO Gasser says:
CO: ETA is four minutes.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:I would prefer...I mean I could never forgive my self if something were to happen. If you know what I mean.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Spill it, Commander.

Host N`F_S`D says:
Gunn: I know, and the Doc is clueless.  He can't decide if this was some kind of animal or if it was some kind of weapon.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
FCO: Finally.  Don't make me wait like that again or you will find your self off this ship.

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: I have also been looking for any connections between the victims.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:I could never forgive my self if something were to happen to Mari or the baby. This situation doesn't feel right. I know that may sound out of line but I am sure you can understand.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::takes the PADD and puts it down on the console, unread::  REESE:  Thank you ensign.  ::gives Reese a "go find something to make you look busy" look::

FCO Gasser says:
CO: Understood sir.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: So what are you suggesting, Commander?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: Leave her here and we can bring back information. Take samples. Renault is a qualified field medic.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: I want constant scans of surround space.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO:  Well, you know, if the CMO is warranted, we need to have her.  But if not, Renault will do.

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: I would assume if it were an animal it would be fairly large and that someone would have seen it, but I can correlate the locations of the attacks along with the times of attack to see if there might be some type of hunting pattern.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::sets sensors on a constant sweep for anything including cloaked ships:: CO: Aye sir. Sensors set on continuous scans.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
CSO: Well Commander Stidd what have you found so far?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
XO: Sorry If I sounded out of line Commander. Still trying to get used to becoming a father and a married man.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: I understand.  I know the feeling.

Host N`F_S`D says:
Gunn: Work on the animal angle.  Unusual that there were no footprints or animal tracks.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::stands and paces while reading the Padd:: to self:: I hate reports.

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: Do you think it might be possible that it might be a trained beast?

FCO Gasser says:
CO: Sir we are at the planet of Terazed.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
FCO: Standard orbit please.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: We have arrived.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO/XO:I do think we should send a team to examine the scene's first hand.

FCO Gasser says:
CO: Standard orbit aye sir.  ::puts the ship into a standard orbit of Terazed::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::brings up ship schematic on the master control board, cues up the EPS network, checks for anomalies, but is pleases to see all the EPS lines mapped out in green::

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: So it would seem, Captain. ::smiles:: Lemmick has a team ready to go down to the surface when necessary.

Host N`F_S`D says:
Gunn: I hope not, I hate to think one of our own is doing this purposely.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: I agree but I would like to limit the amount of contact with this culture based on the lack of advancement of their technology.  It would be better if they were transported up to our sickbay.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Understood sir. If I may make a suggestion though.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: Yes Commander?

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: One of our own or someone sent here to do us harm.

Host N`F_S`D says:
::paces:: Gunn:  What is taking them so long.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:I can understand that we want to limit contact with this culture. Why not transport two people from the ship just outside of town. Undercover so to speak.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::nods:: TO: Now that is a good idea.  Make it so.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::nods:: CO: Who would you like me to send sir?

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
OPS: Open up a hail to the planet please.

CON_Gunn says:
N'F_S'D: Off-worlders, never punctual.

OPS Saunders says:
CO: Opening up a com link sir.  ::opens up the channel::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: I have a report on the suspected Cardassian activities in the area.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
COM: USS Don Johnson: N'F_S'D: This is Captain Iron Horse, we are going to beam down two of our people to retrieve the bodies.  They will beam down out side of the village.
CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: I have cross referenced it to actual sightings of their ships and tried to establish some sort of patterns.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::turns head:: CSO: The Cardassians?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Affirmative, sir.

Host N`F_S`D says:
COM: Don Johnson: CO: Understood.  

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
CSO: Continue your work commander.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::tosses that padd on the desk and picks up another before continuing to pace::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Places a padd on the console and touches the screen and watches as the data transfers from one to the other instantly::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: Yourself and a medic no more.  Bring the bodies back up here for further examination.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Opinion?

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::smiles at the TO knowing he's probably relieved::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Should we dress the part sir? Or standard clothing?

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CMO*: Have a medic meet Commander Lemmick in the transporter room.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
TO: Standard clothing.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Well, the situation is a bit odd.  Three murders in a short period of time.  I know Lemmick will do his best.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Aye...

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
*CO*: Yes sir 

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::tells the TL to head for TR 2::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Yes it is a bit odd.  Yet I would like to get a look at those bodies myself.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: The bodies themselves may tell us more about what might have caused their deaths.

EO Ebanez says:
::walks into engineering and over to MacLeod::  CEO:  Hey Chief.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Well once they've been beamed up, why don't we take a trip down to sickbay and have a look see.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::calls a medic and tells them to report to the transporter room::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::enters the TR room and waits for the Medic, grabs a phaser and tricorder and hides it under his clothing::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Yes I think we will.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CEO*: How is your department Mr. McLeod?

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::looks up at Ebanez::  EO_Ebanez:  Marie, hey.   

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Sounds like a plan, Captain.  I'd like to take a look at those bodies myself.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Then we are of the same mind.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
::nods::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::looks at Ebanez and Reese, cracks a smile::  *CO*:  Captain, Engineering is five by five.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: I too would like to take a full scan of those bodies.

Host N`F_S`D says:
::waits for the Starfleet team to arrive::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CEO*: Five by five?  Isn't that an ancient old Earth term you have used?

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
*CO*:Ready to transport once the medic arrives.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: You'll find that I'm a bit more hands on when it comes to things like this.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*TO*: Has the medic arrived?

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::goes back to reading the reports::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Of that I have no doubt. Commander.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
*CO*:Not yet sir.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Ah, yes sir, sorry sir.  Engineering is fully operational sir.

ACTION:  Lemmick's team materializes on the surface, near Gunn and S'D.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CEO*: Ah that is more like it Lieutenant.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::Whispers to Ebanez::  EO_Ebanez:  I do hope he's not going to be that stuffy all the time.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
CSO: I bet you would Commander.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: I do not bet, captain.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@::slowly visually scans the surrounding area, taking a mental picture::

Host N`F_S`D says:
TO: Leader S'D, this is Constable Gunn.  We'lcome to Terazed.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
CSO: So I have heard.  Vulcans are void of all emotion.

CON_Gunn says:
TO: Greetings.

Host N`F_S`D says:
TO: The bodies are this way ::walks toward the Doctor's hut::  Once you send the bodies to your ship, then we will show you where the bodies were found

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: It is not that we are void of all emotion but rather that we choose not to show it.  We let logic guide our lives rather than emotional ties.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::puts down the Padd she was reading and exits her office to prepare for the bodies which she knows will be arriving soon::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@::Nods:: Gunn: I am Lieutenant Commander Lemmick, USS Don Johnson. It's good to meet you. When did this all start

Host N`F_S`D says:
TO: Five days ago the first body was found, 80 hours ago, we found the second body and contacted Starfleet for help.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CMO*: Be prepared to receive three bodies for autopsies.  The CSO, XO, and I will be there when you receive them.

EO Ebanez says:
 ::pats the CEO's shoulder::  CEO:  Listen, I know I'm a bit early, had some pet projects I wanted to see to.  You can take off for the night if you like.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::watches as the captain and Lieutenant Commander Stidd interact::

CON_Gunn says:
TO: We have had three attacks in a very short time.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
*CO*: Understood Captain ::continues to get ready for the bodies::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
EO_Ebanez:  Wouldn't mind a few hours sleep.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@::walks beside Gunn:: S'D: Have there been any recent clashes or wars? Fights or Feuds?

EO Ebanez says:
CEO: So go an, get outta here.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: With out seeing the bodies what can you tell me about the murders?  Were they done by an animal? Or by a weapon?

CON_Gunn says:
TO: We try to do our jobs around here and keep the peace, just as I am sure you do out there, and we do our jobs sufficiently well. They have been none I KNOW OF.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
EO_Ebanez:  You don't mind?

Host N`F_S`D says:
::opens the door for Lemmick:: TO: The bodies are rather gruesome.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I would have to assume by weapon.  We'll have to find that out though, when we see them, Captain.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@*CO*:We've made contact with Constable Gunn another member of the society. We're about ready to transport the bodies.

EO Ebanez says:
CEO: GO!

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@Gunn: I am not saying you don’t do your jobs Constable Gunn. There have been clashes in the past then? How recent?

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Right you are Commander.  I have a hunch it might be not what it seems.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::finishes preparations and waits for the bodies:: *CO*: We're ready down here Sir.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*TO*: Understood Mr. Lemmick.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
::enters the hut, not totally ready for what greets him::

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::stands up, and hands Ebanez a PADD::  EO Ebanez:  All-right, I'll be in my quarters if anything comes up.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CMO*: Understood Lieutenant.  You should have the bodies soon.

CEO_LtJG_MacLeod says:
::turns, and exits main engineering, heads for turbo-lift::

CON_Gunn says:
@:TO: None that would have any impact on this investigation, we have lived very peacefully for quite some time now.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Would you do the honors and get them aboard?

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: I can run the transporter, sure, Captain.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Very good.  Make it so.

ACTION:  The three bodies are on the table.  Neck and chest on each look nearly shredded.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@::covers his nose:: Renault: Place a tracer tag on each body and transport them back to the ship. 

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@Gunn: Do you have any idea who or what could have done this?

CON_Gunn says:
@TO: Sure you can handle this? No shame in waiting outside.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@Gunn: I'm fine. Remember...investigations is part of my job. How long ago was the latest body found?

CON_Gunn says:
@TO: This morning, too fresh for you? ::Adjusting his eye patch::

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@*CO*:Bodies are ready for transport sir. Shall I continue my investigation down here?

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Are the......never mind.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO: Transport please.

Host N`F_S`D says:
::chuckles::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CMO*: Incoming bodies.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@Gunn: I would like to re-interview anyone you have already please.

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::engages transporter

ACTION:  The bodies are transported to sickbay.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
 *CO*: We have them Captain.

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
*CMO*: Thank you Lieutenant.  We will be there shortly.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::takes a step back from the table as the bodies appear::

CO_Chief_Iron_Horse says:
XO/CSO: Shall we head to sickbay?

CON_Gunn says:
@TO: Double checking my work, hmmpf. Very well.

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
*CO* I'll be waiting

XO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO/CSO: No better time than the present, Captain, Commander.

TO_LtCmdr_Lemmick says:
@Gunn: Not at all. I want to start fresh. No offence, I am sure you are very good at what you do. 

CMO_LtJG_Archer_Lemmick says:
::swallows as she approaches the first body and prepares to check the body:: 

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Picks up his padd and a Tricorder:: CO/XO: Lead on.
