Mission Summary 11210.18

The USS Don Johnson is currently orbiting Cait.  After the numerous deaths across Cait, the DJ crew is assisting in the investigation.

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

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::sits at the engineering console on the bridge analyzing his logs::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::takes a look at the latest status report on the investigation::All: Anyone have anything new?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, sitting at the helm, monitoring the ship's orbital trajectory::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at a secondary console monitoring reports from the planet::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::looks up at the XO:: XO: No sir, still waiting on information from the planet, they seem unresponsive at the moment.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Maybe no news is good news?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS: We can only hope. 

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::checks the navigation sensors, displaying all contacts currently in orbit in relation to the DJ::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::stands up from chair::*CSO*:Sin, status?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Down on the planet, near the space port, at a small upscale infirmary.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looks up from the report a lab tech just handed her.::  *XO*: We have broken the toxin down.  It was engineered.  However, there is... :: pauses as she is handed another report.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shocked::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::glances at the navigation computer status display, showing a stable data-link with the Cait navigational control computer::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@  :: After a moment of scanning the information she looks up with a raised brow at the tech who simply hands her some more reports and heads back to his lab.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Out loud but to no one in particular:  Surely no one would do such a thing deliberately.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ ::A quick scan through the others only confirms the problem.::  *XO*:  Different foods have different toxins in them.  There are not enough toxins in any one food to kill anyone, which is probably why it has taken so long to be detected and has various symptoms.  Eating a combination of the toxins is what is killing people.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::angry::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:Any idea on source?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::reads his engineering reports more thoroughly and walks over to sit next to the CNS:: CNS: When did you pick up sarcasm?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looking through the data as she talks.::  *XO*:  Evidence points to this planetary region.  All the toxins can be made from indigenous plants to the region, with most located on Cait.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
EO:  When I lost faith in others.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
CNS: You're a psycho-... analyst?  So when was that? School, or when they gave you that third solid pip?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:Well it's a start....what you think the next step is?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
EO:  I never wanted to be just another cynical middle aged officer, yet here I am.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ *XO*:  It would help to find a motive.  Was this some form of genocide or is this hiding some other motive?  I would suggest looking at where the foods originated from and what their normal route would be.  If it is planet wide, it will not do us any good, but if it stays with in a region, we have a starting place.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
CNS: Academy grad? Or OCS?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:Agreed...let's just hope we can solve this before we lose anymore.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@*XO*:  They have started on an antidote, but it will take time.  Meanwhile, a list of the foods that should not be combined will be sent out to the populace.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:Do you think the DJ could speed that process up?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@XO:  We could assist, yes.  I will send you the information to give to medical.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
:gives his head a shake::  EO:  I'm sorry.  This is not the time or place.  I'm sure we'll track down these terrorists and bring them to justice, quickly.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> :: Asking for the shipment information, waits for the upload to begin the research.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::can't believe he let his guard slip like that::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: finishes uploading the information the tech had given her.::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Well, if you say so... Just making conversation.  FCO: Think you can pilot us on manual for a while? XO: We can dedicate some of the backup computer processors to help the team crunch the data.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::accesses recent reports on the planetary systems::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS: Commander, I'd like you to help Medical in working on the antidote. :;hands the PADD to him:: With the DJ's systems we could speed up the process.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
EO: We'd have to clear that with Cait's space traffic control.  We are supposed to remain on data-link assisted auto-flight while in orbit.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up from the panel and accepts the PADD::  XO:  Aye.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> :: As the information comes through he puts the computer to work.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: We shouldn't need to use the backups Lieutenant. At least not at the moment.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Commander, there's been some political upheavals.  Some say a revolution is waiting in the wings.  ::logs off the panel and makes for the turbo lift::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
FCO: Then we can break orbit and leave a shuttle behind to relay comms traffic to us as necessary.  XO: It would speed up the process, but it's your decision of course.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO: See what Cait's Space Traffic Control says....

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS: Anything that could endanger our crew?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
XO:  Aye sir.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> *CSO*/XO:  Commanders, I have the information on the shipments.  They were sent via four different corporations.  All four of them are traceable back to anat'lioni.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I think the government has it under control for the moment.  At least that's the message they are putting out to the populace.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::waits for the turbolift::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
COM: CSTC:  CSTC, this is the USS Don Johnson.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO/SO*: Do we have enough to start asking more serious questions?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
<CSTC> COM: FCO:  We ready you Don Johnson, how can I assist you today?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> :: turns around::  XO:  As a starting place, yes.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL:  Sickbay.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@*XO*: I doubt the government would disagree.  However, we should clear it with them if they wish us to take this lead.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::sits quietly at his console checking the ship's biofilters::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
COM: CSTC: We are requesting permission to disengage data-linked navigation while in orbit for an undetermined period of time. We need to free up some computer processor resources.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::exits the turbolift and heads down the corridor towards sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CNS*:Keep an eye out as well for anything to do with the political shape of the current government...I want to pull our people out at a moment’s notice if we have to.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
<CSTC> COM: FCO:  Understood, Don Johnson; please stand-by.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
COM: CSTC: Acknowledged, standing by.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::arrives in sickbay::  *XO*:  I'll have operations monitor government and law enforcement communications.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at one of the junior doctors, then hands her the PADD::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CNS*:Good idea....

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
<CSTC> COM: FCO: Don Johnson, you are cleared to disengage data-linked navigation, but I am going to request you increase altitude to a high orbital reference, please ascend to reference A-311 and maintain orbital lock.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:I'll be joining you in a moment....I want to talk to Ambassador Anta'lioni.....

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
COM: CSTC: Confirmed, and thank you control.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO: Hold our current orbit for now Lieutenant....will the higher orbit put us out of transporter range?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::relays the request to operations while he waits for the MO to look over the information on the PADD::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::looks around and continues his reviewing his diagnostic report::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::Turns to the XO:: XO: No sir, we'll still be within the transporter range envelope.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the remaining sickbay staff organize themselves into several avenues of potential treatment research::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::enters the new orbital reference coordinates and waits for the XO's go ahead::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO: Okay....make the orbital change.....keep the light on Lieutenant....you’re in command. ::heads for the nearest Lift and the closest TR::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::vows to himself that when they come up with something he will personally deliver it to the surface::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@*XO*:  You wish me to meet you at the embassy?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::looks up from his station hearing the XO leave and putting the FCO in charge:: FCO: I call pilot.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::disabled the data-link with Cait and proceeds with increasing the DJ's altitude::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::impressed by how efficient and organized the sickbay team is.  Thinks they are a credit to their chief::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
EO: What, are you nuts, we'll be on manual flight.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CSO*:Yes...I join you shortly. ::grabs a phaser and tricorder:: TR Chief: Okay...energize Chief

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Thanking the staff for their assistance, she asks for directions to the embassy.::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::sits in the Captain's chair:: FCO: Then I sit here!

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks back at the EO, then shakes his head while turning back to the helm::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::arrives on the planet surface, just outside the Embassy::Self: I don't get out enough....

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Not surprised the embassy is not far from the upscale clinic, she heads out the door and up the street.::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
FCO: What is your ... Optimal engine output?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@CSO: Over here....::waves::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::laughs out loud:: EO: You need to ask?  Engineer?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Turning the corner, she nods to the XO in greeting as she makes her way to the elaborate building.::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
FCO: I'm quizzing you! ::looks at a padd:: FCO: When monitoring the Z axis in celestial orbit, is your reference the upper ionosphere or the distance to the surface?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@XO:  The ambassador is waiting for us or we will need to wait for her?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::walks in::Reception: We are here to see Ambassador Anta'Lioni right away....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::checks on the progress of finding a treatment:

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::shakes head::  EO:  Both...  You're gonna have to better than that.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Lifts a brow.  So it was to be a surprise visit.  Stands slightly off to the side and slightly behind the first officer.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
@::whispers:: CSO: Surprise is always good....::smiles::
