USS Scimitar Mission Summary – Stardate: 10201.28

The USS Scimitar, with a few hours left on repairs, has been ordered to meet
with a Galarian vessel, where they will pick up, and deliver to Rigel 7, an
unknown person.

It is believed that this person is a representative of the Galarian race, a
fairly reclusive people that almost 5 decades ago closed their borders
amidst rumours of a race wide plague.

The CTO successfully gave 'birth' to a healthy baby. The child is average
size for a human with some minor differences in appearance, including
leathery skin, rows of small, bony spikes along the elbows and cranial
ridge.

The child has a series of boney "plates" along the top of it's head and some
webbing between it's fingers.

It's vital signs are, for the most part human with a + 4 degree higher
average temperature being the major difference.

At present the Scimitar is 42 Minutes from it's rendezvous and the CTO is
recovering in the main sickbay of Starbase 492.

USS Scimitar Mission Briefing – Stardate: 10202.04

To: Authorized Personnel, U.S.S. Scimitar NCC-80826
From: Captain John Winters, Commanding Officer
Subject: Mission Briefing - Stardate 10202.04
Date: Stardate 10202.04

The Scimitar is to continue en route to pick up our delegate. Starfleet
seems to think this mission is important, unfortunately they have given us
no more details that what you currently all know. The Chief Medical Officer
has been ordered to seal off our delegates quarters just in case this
epidemic isn't quite over with yet. The crew will have no direct contact
with the crew of the Scimitar.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Acknowledged...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::frowns and looks up, annoyed at being interrupted:: XO: Nothing yet, commander. It's clear as a bell. No sign of our contact either.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:

<MO_2> @CMO: Sir, please take a look at this.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::sits down again in his chair::  *CO*: Black to Winters, Sir, ETA to rendezvous point is less then 12 minutes...  no sign yet of that Galarian Cruiser though...

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@::Walks to MO_2:: MO_2: What is it ensign?

Host CO_Winters says:
*XO* Acknowledged. I am on my way to the bridge. :: puts down his PADD and takes a last sip of his coffee ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::begins slowing the Scimitar as it approaches it's rendezvous point::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_2>@CMO: I made some scans and they show this ::tabs a few commands on the scanner and hands it over to the CMO::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: exits the turbolift onto the bridge :: XO: Any sign of that Galarian ship yet?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
XO: Seven minutes until the meeting point. 

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::speaks without looking up:: FCO: There's a Class-3 pulsar coming up, you may need to adjust course.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::stands from the centre chair::  CO: Nothing yet, Captain...  ETA is 7 minutes...

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@::reads the scanner:: Self: Human DNA, 3 Hearts, Lungs are 40% greater then human ones, and the eyes are capable of seeing Ultra violet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Starts to roll over, dangerously close to the edge of the biobed::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: nods but stays standing :: FCO: What time were we suppose to rendezvous?

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_1>@::Stops the CTO from falling of the Biobed::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Six minutes from now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Falls off the side of the biobed with a thud::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@MO_2: Keep me informed and check the eyes again will you ::walks over to MO_1:: MO_1: How is the CTO doing?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: However, I have to point out that we weren't given a time at which to meet them. Our orders only said that we must proceed here with all possible speed.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Gets up as quickly as possible:: Self: That wasn't pleasant...

Host CO_Winters says:
:: sits down :: XO: Looks like I gave up my cup of coffee a little to soon.

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Continue long range scans.

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: Are you al right Commander? ::helps the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: Yes, Lt... just fine... at least I'm awake now...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::that's what I'm doing:: CO: Aye-aye..

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::grins:: CO: It looks that way....

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: What's going on?

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Any signs of activity in this sector? Warp trails, anything?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Gets his legs under himself and half braces himself on the side of the biobed::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: Let me put you back on the Biobed so I can make some scans and you have to rest. You have walked the line you know.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::puts the padd down, closes his yes, reaching out to see if he can sense anything or anyone::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: Perhaps we should inform Starfleet that we have arrived?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
CO: There's 'something'. But it's not registering completely yet. A particle cloud spread over some distance, near our rendezvous.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: Right... I've had too much rest... Much more and I won't be able to get up again.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: I believe we are still a few minutes away from the rendezvous coordinates.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: 4 minutes till interception with the cloud, shall I reduce speed?

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_1>@::starts some scans on the CTO::

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Could it be the remnants of another ship?

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::frowns::  Self: HHmm, that's odd...

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Hold position 25 kilometres from the cloud.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Understood.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::looks up at him:: CO: Can't tell yet. ::remembers:: sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: 3 minutes.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Yawns and starts stretching::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: You almost died here so rest a bit more until you are a bit more awake. MO_1: What do the scans say?

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CSO: Then better make a full analysis and log the info for further studies...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: How long was I out anyway?

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::opens his eyes, sighing::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::why didn't I think of that... sighs:: XO: Already on it, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Rolls onto the biobed and sits up, with his feet hanging over the side::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: About 40 minutes

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Just to be safe Mr. More... Yellow Alert.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::watches the computer pick off and identify compounds:: CO/XO: We have something...

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CSO: Understood... I'm sure Starfleet will be thankful for it..

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::activates the yellow alert Klaxons around the bridge::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: looks at the XO ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO, XO: ETA 10 seconds.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::stands from his chair::  CSO: Then enlighten us Mr Ahkileez...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: Slowing to thrusters.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: 40 minutes... plenty of time.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
CO/XO: Metallurgy scans are picking up tritanium. Decay rates on the rest looks like mostly Hydrogen, Deuterium and carbon.

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_1>@CMO: The poison is gone he will have no permanent damage to any organs but it could be that he will have a headache and some stiff muscles for a few days

Host CO_Winters says:
CSO: Could that be a ship?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: Warp deactivated. The scimitar is currently 25 KM away from the cloud and holding position.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Proximity alert! 500 M's off port bow! Shall I move us away?

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Keep us back....  CSO: Identify

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Moving away at full thrusters.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks from his seat to the tactical console on the bridge and relieves the ensign operating it::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
CO: The computer's picking up weapon emissions, high-strength.

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: Would you please take off the shirt sir, so I can see the incision I made is healing fine!

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: Suggest we go to Red Alert, Sir...

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: We don't even know if this is the ship we are suppose to meet.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: On screen.

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::Closes his eyes again to see if he can sense anything::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Onscreen, sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Unable to comply.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: OK... ::Slowly lifts up his shirt::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: The Transmission is Captains eyes only.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: True, Sir...  but this doesn't add up... just being on the safe side...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::turns the sensors on the contact, trying to determine what it is::

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Transmission?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Yes sir... I misunderstood. ::puts the ship on screen::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: There's a CO's eyes only transmission coming from that ship sir.

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@::sees the incision he made:: CTO: Ok sir, its healing just fine. I'm going to try and contact the Captain and inform him of your status. If you want you can look at your child.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: the main viewer shift to display an expanse of space of the port bow, the edge of one of the scimitars nacelles can be seen .. along with a 'hole' in space that's darker then the surrounding.. except for one very bright, blue point of light

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: OK... Where is it? ::Pulls his shirt down::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: Are they cloaked?

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Unknown... We don't know anything about this race. Put that transmission to my ready room  :: gets up and walks to his ready room door ::

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::quickly runs a tachyon based scan of the vessel::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: It's on that small biobed there with MO_2 ::points the way::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CO: Transferring...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::tries to pick out the dimensions:: FCO: If they are, it's a pretty primitive cloak. The point of light is our weapons signature I'm guessing.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::suddenly feels like a glorified secretary::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: OK. ::Gets up and walks over slowly::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Our weapons signature?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
FCO: The one I detected on re-entry to real space.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::walks to the centre chair again::  FCO: If that ship somewhat moves, I wanna know about it right away...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Gets over to the baby, sees the scales, leathery skin, spikes, and faints::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@::walks to his office and sits down in his chair and starts to hail the Captain of the Scimitar::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: Walks to the terminal on his desk :: Computer: Bring up that transmission. Authorization Winters-Beta 2-1

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CSO: Keep monitoring that vessel, or whatever that is....

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_2>@::picks up the CTO and calls MO_1 to help him::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
All: and now we wait...

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
XO: Aye aye...

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@COMM: Scimitar: CO: Captain Winters this is CMO Akhran.

Host Kevin says:
<Computer> CO: Acknowledged, opening file  :: a simple text message is displayed on the CO's desk terminal it lists transporter coordinates as well as an encrypted string to be sent back to the ship ASAP to confirm receipt of the signal... it also has a countdown in one corner that now reads 32 seconds and decreasing ::

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
FCO: Nothing more we can right now...  ::looks at the viewscreen, trying to figure out what "that" is he's seeing::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: transfer the coordinates to the FCO:: *FCO* Transport from these locations.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: sends back the encrypted string to the Galarian ship ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO*: To the transporter room?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::speaks up quickly:: XO: We're being targeted!

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_2>@CTO: Commander, Commander........ ::slaps the CTO's face gently, trying to bring him back::

Host CO_Winters says:
*FCO*: By the looks of the timer on my screen Mr. More I don't care.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::hears the CO::  FCO: I think he means the prepared quarters, Mr More..

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO*: Understood... due to Mr. Rogers not being here, shall I go to the TR to escort them here?

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: XO: Belay that.. Scans and weapons signatures are disappearing.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::frowns at the CSO::  CSO: Calm down, Ensign...

Host CO_Winters says:
*FCO*: The secured quarters. NOW!

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO*: Understood.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Looks up with a dazed look:: MO: Was there a mistake?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: sits in his chair :: Self: Oh well.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::begins beaming from the co-ordinates::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_2>@CTO: No Commander, there has been no mistake made, as you can see this is the only child here.

Host CO_Winters says:
:: watches the message disappear off his screen as the time runs out ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@MO: Part human I can tell... what's the other part?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
*CO*: Transport complete. Any further orders?

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_1>@CTO: That we do not know, sir.

Host CO_Winters says:
*FCO* None...

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::turns to the CSO::  CSO: Scan the prepared quarters and identify who we just beamed over...

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@COMM: Scimitar: CO: Captain Winters this is CMO Akhran do you read me?

Host CO_Winters says:
:: gets up and walks to the ready room door and as it opens... :: XO: You're with me.  FCO: Mr. More you have the bridge.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
Self: Oh joy... MO: Next time something is about to surprise me, could I get a little warning?

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
CO: Aye Captain...

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
<MO_1>@CTO: Yes Sir, sorry sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::gets up from the Helm and takes the CO's chair, accessing his systems on the command console::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: walks into the turbolift :: XO: I think we need to get Mr. More some transporter training...

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Gets back up to his feet, and walks back over to the little bed::

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::follows the Captain into the nearest TL::

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::does as asked:: XO: All I could confirm is there is someone in there. The computer has little information on the Galarians, and no information on identities.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
@COMM: SB 429: Doctor Ahkran, this is the Scimitar. Captain Winters is currently busy, is there anything we can help you with?

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::grins:: CO: That would be a good idea... ::takes out one of his PADD's and notes that:: Apparently the Galarian's like to keep a tight schedule..

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@COMM: Scimitar: FCO: Commander More, would you tell the Captain that Commander Rogers is awake and doing well.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Watches the sleeping baby:: Self: I better warn Bernie that this is coming...

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
COMM: SB 429: Indeed I will. He'll want a full medical report on his desk by tomorrow. Is there anything else, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Winters says:
*CSO* Did the biofilters pick up any contagions on transport?

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@COMM: Scimitar: FCO: Yes, Also tell the Captain that Mr Rogers will be on active duty within 7 days. That will be all Sir. Akhran out.

CSO_Ens_Ahkileez says:
::opens his side of the channel:: *CO*: The computer didn't flag anything, Captain. Medical might want to confirm that.

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: This baby isn't going to... eat my dog, is it?

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::closes the comm::

Host Kevin says:
@ACTION: The baby rolls over, it's nose scrunched up, it's eyes open sleepily. looking up at 'mommy' it lifts one hand into the air

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Reaches down and grabs the tiny hand::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@::Walks out of his office to the CTO:: CTO: That I do not know, but I think the baby sees the mother if that is the correct word.

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::thinks for a moment::  *CNS*: Counsellor, have detected anything from our guest since he/she/it arrived ?

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@::Makes note to carry a phaser with him at all times, just in case he sees the strange alien guy::

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::as the TL arrives at the designated deck he waits for the Captain to exit the TL first::

Host CO_Winters says:
:: walks out of the turbolift towards the specified quarters. ::

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
::looks around the bridge, and at the daunting ''ship'' on the viewer::

CTO_LtCmdr_Rogers says:
@CMO: What do I feed it?

Host CO_Winters says:
*Sickbay*: Scan the quarters for contagions.

FCO_LtCmdr_More says:
CSO: Anything more from the ship, Ensign?

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::follows the CO down the corridor, still waiting for the CNS's response::   CO: I wonder what these beings are like...

CNS_tr`Loris says:
::opens his eyes hearing the comm::

CMO_LtJg_Akhran says:
@CTO: That is still for us to find out commander.

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Not to friendly so far...

XO_LtCmdr_Black says:
::nods::  CO: That's for sure....it seems they like to control things around here..  might also explain why they haven't re-opened communications to the federation yet...
