CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::quietly prowls the halls towards a turbolift::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Steps off the TL and onto the bridge, moving to his command chair.::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::stands on the bridge, watching the viewscreen for nothing in particular.::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::goes through the results of the rescued crew's medical scans again, quietly sitting in his office to do so::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
aXO: Steady as she goes I see...that’s a nice change of pace.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::has a bit of a sore head, from last night's brandy drinking. Wonders how CEO is faring. Turns and sees CO has arrived:: CO: Long may it last, sir. ::smiles and moves back to the XO's seat and sits back comfortably::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::steps off the turbolift onto the bridge, making his way casually to the command circle:: CO/XO: Captain. Commander. ::nods::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
aXO: Quiet is good, we need some quiet after...well, we went over that already.  ::Takes a quick breath and looks about absently for a moment as if looking for something to distract himself.::  aXO: Our guests have anything new to say?

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::nods to the CNS.::  Counsellor.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CO: No sir. The doctor's still got them in Sickbay, though. If there's anything to report I'm sure he'll... ::pauses and takes a small breath, holding it for a second:: ... he'll let us know. ::frowns. Isn't feeling well at all::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::scratches his head idly, frowning at the results of his work-ups, reaching over and hitting a few commands on his desk console then comparing results::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::keeps his voice low:: CO: Captain, I think it's time we schedule your first session.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Squints slightly at the aXO.::  aXO: Feeling OK?  you look a little....::pauses and sneezes violently out of nowhere.::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Blinks..then sneezes again.::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::raises an eyebrow and takes a tiny step back::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Coughs to clear his throat and takes a few deep breaths.:: All: OK...

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::shakes her head. Is more hungover than she thought. Not a good start to a shift on a new ship:: CO: I'm... not sure... ::frowns but stays where she is:: CO: It'll pass.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::waves the counsellor off as to say, its fine.::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::had felt fine moments earlier. Wonders if it's the brandy at all. After all, she did take adequate precautions against this::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
CO: At your convenience, of course... but I won't wait forever, sir. ::nods again and wanders off to the side of the bridge::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CNS: Well, might as well do it now while we've got a bit of peace.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::stops, trying to figure out if he's prepared, wondering if this was a ploy:: CO: Very well. Your ready room?

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
aXO: Bridge is yours commander, if your up for it.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Nods and moves to the ready room door, holding it open for the counsellor.::

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> ::at her station::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CO: A bad spell isn't enough to stop me, Captain. I have the bridge. ::shifts in her seat::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::steps into the ready room::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pushes himself back from his desk with his PADD in hand and walks out into the Main Sickbay, spotting Denim and leading with the results:: Denim: Blu, I can't seem to find the blood work-ups for Crewman Jones. Can you check with Engineering and see if there's a computer problem then have someone run them again. On all of the patients - just in case.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Denim> ::takes the PADD with a worried nod and dashes off to work::

Host Andrew says:
<FCO_ Qufu> aXO: Commander, I know it's not official business, but I just heard Ensign Bern and Petty Officer Ningou just got engaged!

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Moves to his desk and motions to a chair for the counsellor.::
Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Stiffles another sneeze, then choughes.::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::takes a seat::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::looks up from her armrest at OPS:: OPS: Weren't they the two who spent the whole evening nose-to-nose in the lounge when we were there?

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Sneezes several times in a row, then grits his teeth.:: CNS: Damn...that’s...::Sneezes again.::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Blinks as he sneezes again, shaking his head angrily.::  CNS: Never happened before...the hell.  ::Sneezes again.::

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> ::nods:: aXO: Apparently Mei proposed to her that night.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::hides a frown, suddenly feeling a little self-conscious:: CO: Have you ever been around a Caitian before, sir?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::takes a seat back at his desk and starts going through reports again, muttering quietly about having to do everything himself::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::looks happy:: OPS: Nice... ::sits back:: OPS: Probably just as well, really. No-one else was getting a look in. When's the engagement party?

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> ::on a bio bed:: Nurse: Hello? How long do we need to be here?

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Pours himself a glass of water and nods as he downs it.:: CNS: Served with a few, never had an issue..::Realizes the CNS is becoming self-conscious.:: Sorry..I'm sure its not...that.  I mean, you've been here for weeks.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks up as the shout comes through, glowering slightly before putting on a better face and making his way out and over to O'Sullivan's bed:: O'Sullivan: O...Sullivan, right? You'll be out of here just as soon as your medical examination results have been cleared. ::picks up the diagnostic PADD from beside the biobed and scans over it::

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> aXO: I was thinking we could do that. Maybe some traditional Chinese delicacies for them, use the holodeck or something.

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: How long does that take? It's not like you're overloaded with work right now. ::frowns::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::seems somewhat relieved, and is put off by how important it was that it wasn't him, but ignores it:: CO: Captain, as you know, I've been sent here by Starfleet to provide therapy in the wake of New Juarez, and to try and sort out your, er... personnel problems.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::offers the man an understanding smile:: O'Sullivan: I'm actually going through them right now, it's going to take at least an hour. Longer, if there are any interruptions, but I promise you we're doing our best to get you cleared and back to quarters.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::finds it tough to focus on the idea of chinese food right now. Stands up:: OPS: Sounds yea... good. Just... ::can feel herself flushing:: OPS: The bridge is yours... ::rushes.. slowly.. into the Observation Room, and out to waste extraction from there::

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> ::blinks as the aXO leaves, wondering why she must hate Chinese food so much::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Wo'tesh> ::steps over to the Doctor and O'Sullivan with a hypospray in hand:: CMO/O'Sullivan: Sorry, Sirs. I need to take another blood sample, there was a mix-up during one of the tests.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Sets his jaw and call on all of his discipline to avoid any further fits.:: CNS: New Juarez wasn't as mentally harrowing for me as it was for my crew...it was stressful to be sure, we were all pushing with everything we had, but I wasnt in the battle itself.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Wo'tesh> ::slips in between the Doctor and his patient, making sure O'Sullivan is comfortable before extracting more blood for screening::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CNS: As for my personal issues...I'm dealing with them.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::just makes it to waste extraction on time, and gets very sick very fast. Oh, it's not a pretty sight, folks. Not pretty at all::

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: Oh come on, more blood?! I won't have any left at this rate!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
CO: It must have been difficult for an old soldier to leave others behind to do the fighting. ::feels a sudden sadness, but fights to keep it at bay::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::puts the PADD down after spotting an odd reading, pulling out his medical tricorder and running the prode across O'Sullivan's stomach:: O'Sullivan: Sshh...There's something here that wasn't on the initial scans, but your white blood cell count is through the rough. ::checks his readings:: You have a small growth in your abdomen, doesn't appear to be major, but I should take a closer look.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to Wo'Tesh:: Wo: Run a full body scan on the other patients, check for any tumours, growths of internal lesions in the abdominal area.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::remains where she is, kneeling in front of the multi-species waste unit, glad that no Bolians seem to have been near it in a while...:: Self: urgh.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Wo'Tesh> ::rushes off to carry out the orders, calling back shortly:: CMO: Doctor, it's the same for all four crewmen.

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: What are you on about? Are you just making this up? That's it, you just want to keep me here longer.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::breathes a little easier:: Self: All hail, the porcelain god... ::wipes her sweating face dry and grabs a glass of water as she returns to her feet:: Self: That was.. sudden.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly and then shows her the results on his tricorder:: O'Sullivan: I'd prefer a free bed. ::pulls over the biobed sensors and runs a deep scan on the growth::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CNS: I don't like others fighting my battles, no.  ::Stops to think for a moment.::  CNS:  I don't mean to be rude counsellor, but...in all honesty, New Juarez isn’t anything new for me.  I learned a long time ago how to deal with loss of life.  I'll admit it had a different....feel this time, I'm the commanding officer, that’s something new for me...

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> ::looks at the reading and shuts up::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CON'T:  ...but I know how to put it into perspective.  I'm just not sure what you expect from me for this....discussion.

Host Andrew says:
<Brown> ::enters the shuttlebay::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::steps out into the corridor, looks towards the bridge, then to the Turbolift:: Self: Well, Niamhy. if the choice is getting sick on the bridge carpet, or the Sickbay one.. I know where I'd prefer it to happen... ::heads for the Turbolift:: *CO*: Captain, I'm reporting to Sickbay. My apologies sir. I have no idea what's going on.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::frowns at the results and turns to his patient:: O'Sullivan: It doesn't look cancerous, but I don't like it in there. With your consent I’d like to remove it with the surgical transporter and run a full biopsy.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.:: aXO: Understood, let the doctor know your....en route....::Begins sneezing uncontrollably.::

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: What?! I don't think so, no!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::seems to lose his focus a bit at the mention of death; he shakes his head a bit to refocus:: CO: I'll give you- ::stops suddenly, his eye welling up a bit:: CO: Hmm...

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::steps into the Turbolift, hopes she can get to Sickbay before anything... untoward happens:: TL: Sickbay...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks a little taken aback:: O'Sullivan: You...want to keep it inside you?

Host Andrew says:
<Brown> ::opens the door on a shuttlecraft and steps inside::

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: It's none of your business. That's quite enough.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Stands up and hacks in between sneezes, slamming a fist into the wall with anger and embarrassment.::  All: DAMN...IT...::Cough::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
*CMO*: Danann to Kymar :: doesn't say it correctly::  I'm on my way down to you. Do you have a minute?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::closes up his tricorder and slips it back into his belt:: O'Sullivan: An unknown growth has just shown up on scans where there were no growths at all. As your current attending physician and the Chief Medical Office on-board this ship, I am asking you to let me remove it or I will have you locked down under the heaviest quarantine field we can erect in the brig. Is that understood, Crewman?

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::wipes her forehead of a sheen of sweat as the TL descends::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
CO: You say this had never happened before?

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: You have no right! It's my right as a patient to refuse treatment unless it's a threat to other people. ::stands::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::lets O'Sullivan mull that over and taps his comm badge, holding her with a stare:: *XO*: We have a slight situation, but I can take a look, Commander.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CNS: I'm sorry Counsellor....I don't know what the....::Sneezes violently again and coughs again.::  CNS: Never....

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
*CMO*: I have a slight situation, too... We can play Top Trumps with them later... See you in two. ::exits the TL and makes a speedy, but careful bee-line to Sickbay.

Host Andrew says:
<Smith> ::Walks through the large Shuttle-bay doors and right into the shuttle alongside Jones:: Brown: How's it looking?

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
CO: And Commander Danann is feeling ill. And I'm rem... there's something wrong with me, as well. ::frowns and looks up at the Captain::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.:: *CMO*: Doctor...::Sneezes and coughs again.::  Doctor, has anyone else reported with...odd symptoms?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::sighs softly and nods:: O'Sullivan: I have told you the conditions under which I will let you leave this sickbay and you have refused. Computer: Computer, erect a level 10 quarantine forcefield around Biobed 1. :;steps back as the field goes up::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::turns away from O'Sullivan and addresses the other biobeds, arms folded and a thundercloud on his face:: Crew: You have all heard the diagnosis and my conditions. Would anyone else like to refuse, or can I treat you?

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> CMO: What!? No! I do not consent to this!! ::shouts at the aXO as she walks in:: aXO: You can't do this! I have rights!

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
*CMO*: Doctor...::Wipes his mouth on the back of his hand::

Host Andrew says:
<Brown> Smith/Jones: We're ready, except for O'Sullivan. ::looks at the powered up console:: Looks like they've put a level 10 field around Sickbay.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CO*: We have some medical complains with the crew we rescued, but otherwise no. ::glances at the aXO:: Well, you and Commander Danann anyway. What're your symptoms, Captain?

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::steps into Sickbay and looks around for the CMO:: CMO: What the... ::looks at O'Sullivan in alarm:: O'Sullivan: Can't do what? ::moves over to CMO:: CMO: What's up, doc?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<remove the line about turning away from O'Sullivan, the other crew aren't in sickbay>

Host Andrew says:
<O'Sullivan> aXO/CMO: I don't want to be diagnosed, I don't want the surgery! ::getting worked up to a panic::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
*CMO*: Uncontrollable sneezing and cough....add Counsellor Sek as well, with different symptoms.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::ignores O'Sullivan: aXO: I found an odd growth in Crewman O'Sullivan's abdomen, which wasn't there on her original scans. It's the same for her crew-mates, and she is refusing treatment. I'm worried it could be something bad. ::pulls out his tricorder and quickly runs a full scan of the aXO::

Host Andrew says:
<Smith> Brown: Damn, we'll never get O'Sullivan out. ::pauses:: We have to do it now.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
O'Sullivan: OK, ok, your yelling is not helping my stomach right now, so let's take it down an octave before we all regret it. ::swallows and takes a slow breath::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CO*: Captain, I believe we might have a situation. Stay in the Ready Room, do not leave and advised Counsellor Sek of the same.

Host Andrew says:
<Jones> Brown/Smith: What? We can't leave her!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::doubles over slowly, dealing with a sudden rush of anguish as images flash repeatedly in his mind:: CO: Forgive me, Captain, but I need to leave. ::gets up and leaves the ready room, moving briskly towards the TL while tapping his combadge:: TL: Deck 5.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::snaps his tricorder closed after reading the results:: aXO: Commander, i'm picking up the same growth, this one in your arm. Have you been in contact with any of the rescued crew? Quickly!

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
*CMO*: Understood....Keep me in the loop.  And doctor...work fast.

Host Andrew says:
<Smith> Jones: We have no choice. We don't have the time! ::closes the door on the shuttle:: Do it.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::eyes wide, looks at her arm, back to CMO, then to O' Sullivan:: O'Sullivan. Sit. I'll stay with you, OK? ::face pales:: CMO: I haven't been in contact with them. The outside of their shuttles hull, yes... and I've spent time with some of the Engineers who were inside the shuttle, but...

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to Danann, only hearing the words he needs:: *CO*: Captain, I believe we may have an infection onboard the ship. Initiate emergency quarantine measures.

Host Andrew says:
<Brown> Smith/Jones: Launching!

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Grabs the CNS and firmly but gently diverts him to the XO's chair.::  CNS: Can't do that Counsellor, if this is an outbreak, any movement could cause it to spread out of control.

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The shuttle-craft lifts off and moves towards the doors which start opening.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
*CMO*: Understood.  ::motions to OPS to initate biological emergency protocols.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
<remove the last half of my last line>

Host Andrew says:
<SEC> *CO*: Shuttle-bay to Captain, we've got an unauthorised launch!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Computer: Computer, this is the Chief Physician. Authorisation Kymar Delta Nine Orange. Authorise full quarantine lock-down, U.S.S. Kraken, possible biological contaminants. ::glances at O'Sullivan from the corner of his eye::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.:: *ALL*: This is the Captain, we are initiating emergency quarantine measures.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
SEC: Shut them down...NOW!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
aXO: Commander, please take a seat on the biobed, I need to get a biopsy of that growth. ::drags the surgical transporter over to Biobed 4::

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::turns around makes to swing at the Captain, a certain desperation in his eyes; he manages to pull his swing:: CO: Captain... trust me when I say I can't be on the bridge right now.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Moves to tactical, pulling up tractor control.:: Self: Were the hell is Adalberto when you need him!

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::stares at CMO with worry, takes her uniform jacket off and hops onto the biobed:: CMO: What's going on, doc?

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
aOPS: Get me a channel into that ship!

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
CNS: Counsellor, you leave this bridge, you could contaminate the entire ship!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
aXO: I think the crewmen we rescued brought something back from the surface. Something that a Level 10 Quarantine field doesn't detect or destroy, which means it's bad. ::brings up the aXO's scans, targeting the growth and expertly transporting it from her left arm into a high security, quarantined specimen container in the Biology lab::

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: Security tries to stop the shuttle-craft, and start closing the shuttlebay doors. The shuttle fires it's phasers at close range and blast them open before flying out. The ship rocks violently and red alert activates as power drops momentarily.

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::moves to a corner of the bridge and sits, curling himself into a not-so-small ball and trying to keep 'it' at bay:: CO: Yes... sir...

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> CO: Channel open!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::stumbles against his equipment, a rush of adrenaline hitting him as he realises her finished the transport just in time, and didn't accidentally beam Danann's entire arm into space::

Host Andrew says:
<OPS_Qufu> ::pulls herself back up after the huge shake knocked her down::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: I was in contact with... almost all of the Engineering heads last night. ::looks distressed::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Growls.:: COM: Shuttle: This is Captain A'an, you will power down and surrender to security immediately!  Further resistance will be met with force!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to Danann and turns to Denim:: Nurse_Denim: Quarantine situation, Blu. Have medical teams posted on every deck, run scans and check for more of these growths. Setup triage in the mess hall and cargo bays 1 and 2.

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
::Powers up the phasers, preparing to disable the shuttle once tractored if they try to fire again.::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Denim> ::nods and sets to work, throwing around orders to do just that::

Host Andrew says:
@<Smith> COM: CO: If you do that, you'd risk hurting the children!

CNS_NGai_Sek says:
::closes his eyes tightly, his claws digging lightly into his legs, giving him something external to focus on::

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
COM: Shuttle: Then I suggest you surrender...but your not leaving with my crew infected by whatever you brought with you!

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
aXO: When did you start having these symptoms, Commander? ::starts running another scan on Danann now that the growth is removed::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
::watches the CMO work, occasionally glancing over at O'Sullivan who was sudden;y being very calm:: O’Sullivan: Wanna spill the beans and make this easy for us?

Host Andrew says:
@<Smith> COM: CO: Oh, you're not infected, Captain. ::pauses:: You're all pregnant.

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The shuttle goes into warp.

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: Not long after I reported for my shift. The nausea just grew... and grew... and ::stops speaking::

aXO_LtCmdr_Danann says:
CMO: Wow... I'd kill for a burrito with anchovies right now...

Host CO_Cpt_Aan says:
aFCO: Track that ship!
