Summary - "If you needing a soul to soul connection, I'll run to your side. When you're lost in the dark, when you're out in the cold, when you're looking for something that resembles your soul..." An old earth medley. It is a song of love, embrace, support...

"When the wind blows your house apart, I'll be a home to your homeless heart. Broken, shattered like a mirror..."

The U.S.S. Scimitar no longer feels like home to many of the crew. They have found themselves caught in a war, trapped in sickbay - fallen pray to some unknown spore. On top of that, trust issues have begun to arise - can Captain Black be trusted anymore? Is Rowan Delar a risk to the Scimitar? Can the new members of the crew really be trusted...

"Sooner or later, you've got to find somewhere, someone to find you...and save you..."

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Zin steps between Harris and the door as he moves to leave:: CEO: Lieutenant, stand fast.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looking at his PADD he finds something...::Self: Floral Spore 2856-A. Native to caves. Small plant, germinating once a week.. mm.. Let see if i can find out what this little plant is up to

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::Enters sickbay and looks around for the CMO::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She holds up her hand, looking at the blood covered officer:: CEO: Unfortunately, Lieutenant, I can not permit that. Lieutenant MacAllister will need to conduct an investigation, one you must be a part of...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He looks around to see if he can find the SO somewhere among all the people::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::raises and eyebrow remembering she totally forgot to ask:: CO: Uh...yeah fit...completely fit for uh duty, yes ma'am, that's me
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: What is wrong there? ::pauses:: It's not normal granted.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
<Computer> CSO: Lieutenant Delar is on the Bridge.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::relieves the Duty FCO and takes his post and checks for his orders::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow to Brenna, curiously::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::looks ay my self ops turns back::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::spots the CMO coming out of his office:: CMO: Zoran. I hear you have a body for me.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and smiles back down at Bryn:: Bryn: Let's go see mom, I know you've missed her
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CMO: Doctor...I would advise you do your best to try to identify the killer of Doctor Weston...::She motions over to the dead body in the next lab::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks up the plant and tries to find more information about the spore.. How it affects the human immune system and what genetic characteristics it has::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He nods towards Zin and turns to face the CTO:: CTO: Yes we have. The CEO was so nice to carry it and place it in the lab, next to sickbay. ::Gestures towards the door:: Go ahead and have a look. I am very interested in an estimated hour of death. Can you do that for me?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::walks into the nearest turbolift:: TL: Bridge.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::The information is shown on the PADD...mm...a Vulcan botanist was researching this spore.. he tries to identify the name of this botanist::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::wanders over to the lab and peers inside:: CMO: I was hoping you could tell me when, I'm more interested in finding out who and why.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CMO: can you scan me and make sure i am all set so i can go back to ME.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks back at OPS:: OPS: Lt what can you tell us about the planet? We have brought a virus from it and a dead body, bringing you back was not as easy as it should have been either.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Doc, could you come here for a minute, i have found some interesting things. You alone please.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Chuckles:: CTO: Okay, I will join you later then, I have some things to take care of here first. I hope you don't mind? I like to take care of the living first.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She motions for Harris to wait for a medical officer to check him out and moves over to the entrance of the lab with Lieutenant MacAllister:: CTO: Perhaps I can be of assistance, Lieutenant?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at the PADD to see if he can find the botanist's name and to see if the spore will spread..::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::takes out his tactical tricorder:: CMO No problem Doc.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: I'll be there in a minute. I need to check on the CEO first. Where are you now?  ::Turns towards the CEO and gestures him to sit on a nearby empty Biobed::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::steps off the turbolift and looks around quickly, spotting Brenna with the Commander and smiling as he walks down, bouncing Bryn slightly in his arm::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Zin: Your assistance would be appreciated Lieutenant...... ::waits for an introduction::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: There’s a well...a presence...a very old one...the lady Epidia...she's...trying to pull the Delar’s she...oh god it just sounds mad...but whatever it is can control the plant life...and...I think it killed...a lot of people
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::takes  a seat in a empty Biobed::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: I'm in your office.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::turns as Rowan steps onto the bridge smiling and almost lunging for him:: CSO: You're safe
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He takes out his medical tricorder and starts to scan the CEO:: CEO: This will just take a minute, hang on.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::gives Brenna one of those looks as she considers what has been said, then nods slowly, before turning and greeting the CSO with a smile::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
:;grins and pulls her into him with the other arm, making sure Bryn doesn't get crushed:: OPS: It's good to see you too...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::The PADD brings up the name of the botanist and his assistant. at the same time the spreading information is shown::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Without any other acknowledgement she walks into the lab and speaks aloud:: Computer: Computer, activate holographic display, scan Doctor Weston...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: What do you know of Epidia? Why would she cause the death of a science team member? More importantly perhaps could she have caused wounds similar to those inflicted by a stabbing?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::leans over giving Bryn's head a soft kiss:: CO: Ma'am...I think we need to discuss this somewhere quieter...it's...very odd...the reading from the Airilian council chamber something here is very odd...and a little too conveniently connected
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Doc, this info is about the spore. You'll find it very useful
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::checks his sensors, wondering if he could recall the fighters::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::begins scanning the body::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::shift Bryn and hands him over to Brenna with a smile:: OPS: He missed you, and i've got to get to my console.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - A blue translucent scan of the dead body shimmers in the air above the bed, depicting the seventeen stab wounds, the entry wounds, and resulting hemorrhaging...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods and motions to the readyroom:: FCO: You have the bridge, please alert me of any occurrences.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am...she wanted me to stay there and...she ::shakes her head unzipping her duty jacket and shirt exposing a massive bruise on her collar bone:: she could have killed me easily
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up from his tricorder:: CEO: Euhm, how shall I put this. It appears that some of the body's blood has been mixed with yours. Probably at the cut you got from those flowers. We have to run some tests on the body and its blood to know more. Please try to avoid close contact with others and be prepared to come back to me as I know more.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: aye-aye, ma'am ::moves to the centre chair::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CMO: What well, can I at least go back to work in ME.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::notes the stab wounds::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CTO: Seventeen stab wounds, multiple configurations...it looks like...three possible weapons. ::She looks down at the cold body and scans it slowly:: CTO: Time of death appears to be 0100 hours...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow again considering this option:: OPS: I see, DO you know why she would want you there? ::turns to the CSO:: CSO: I guess you might know something of this too?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods to the CEO:: CEO: For now yes, but please try to avoid any personal contact with others of the crew. I will have more information later, when I have a chance to examine the body.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CMO: ok.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads for the door::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::While waiting for the CMO he looks up more information about the spore itself and what it will do to a body::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::notes Zin's comments:: Zin: so we're looking for three possible suspects. Have the other members of the missing crew been kept together?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looking around and feeling a bit satisfied with the other MO's as they check up on the patients, he heads towards his office again::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads out of sickbay and heads for ME::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: She was on Betazed for a while, but banished, apparently this was the planet of her origin...and...There’s something about her...she...was familiar...like when I was lost in a coma from the virus...it was...frightening.. she....god this all sounds insane
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She nods:: CTO: All of Doctor Weston's team have been accounted for, except for two...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::steps into the readyroom, standing just through the door waiting for the CSO and OPS, she gives the child a suspicious look::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He enters his office as he sees the SO sitting in his comfortable chair:: SO: Ahem, what is it you wanted to tell me?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::arrives at ME::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::staring at the viewscreen in occupied with his own thoughts::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN: Do we know who they are?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Turns around as the office door opens, and sees the CMO enter:: CMO: Doc. I have some info on the spore. It seems to attach it self to the lungs, then releases a chemical into the circulatory system. It doesn't appear to be contagious and it seems to originate from a local plant that is only found in caves.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She glances over at another console, bringing up a list of the Doctor's team:: CTO: T'Vela, Meredith Sorenson and Michael Weston were the only ones not with Doctor Weston and her team...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::follows looking down and shaking her head::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods and looks the SO over:: SO: And you have not been contaminated with it?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::begins working in ME::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
I think i have been, i was in a cave. as where Dr. Weston and her team. and the XO. but you can scan the others. If they aren't infected they won't be by us
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::follows with Brenna, bouncing Bryn along with him::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN: Right, we need to rule out T'Vela and Sorenson. Was there any trace of them?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::gestures to the seats:: OPS/CSO: However insane it sounds, there is something wrong with this planet, the virus and.. ::pauses:: as such I would like to know all you are able to tell me.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: The other people who have been infected can be let out of quarantine i think. It's not contagious, but i haven't found out what it does exactly yet.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CTO: Lets find out...::She hands over a medical tricorder and nods to the Lieutenant as she begins her own scans::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::takes a seat holding out her arms and smiling at her son::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::walks towards his console and gets out the access logs of who used searching who used what and when::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: SO: Good to know it's not contagious. What do we have on this spore? Can we find a way to get it out of your lungs?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Commander, all I know is that there is a field around the planet that seemed to be centered on Brenna.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::runs around ME fixing miner problems::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles over at Brenna and hands over the baby::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN: Right, tell you what, you carry on here and I'll go and start questioning the others.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She nods and continues her scans, not saying anything more::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: Not yet. It seems a Vulcan named T'Vela and his assistant Meredith were on this spore doing research.. and they have disappeared..
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN: Keep me informed. ::heads out of the lab::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::takes Bryn in her arms bouncing him on her lap and smling:: CO: She wants her family back that's all...I think she lost a child there...on Betazed...she sad I was her family but my lineage...a tiny ounce of Vulcan and human, and my family has only ever been on earth...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
SO: Disappeared? Was that what you have told me about? The thing you found at the equipment in the encampment?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::knocks on the door to the CMO's office::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Brenna is zapped with a spark of static electricity as Bryn reaches out towards her. He whimpers slightly and then all is normal again...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::cross referencing logs and reports:: Self: what was the old coot up with. Why did he send us to find Weston?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Turns around to face the door:: Out loud: Enter.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::whines and whimpers furrowing her brow with worry and holding Bryn close to her::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: yes, this info is from a database i downloaded there in the lab. But it is not the plant i told you about that would kill everyone in this sector
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::enters the office:: CMO: I need to question Dr Weston's team, is there anything I need before I enter the quarantine area?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to them both:: OPS: So she has come back for her family? What do you know of her abilities? There are no people left on the surface that I am aware of.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Is startled and hides the information on the PADD::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::thinking that the rosters have not been confirmed yet she is starting to hope there is no one left there::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::grins:: self: Weston served with pepys and Haydes before, that gives a nice start. So we are being sacrificed because of friendship. No let's dig deeper. ::tries finding more about Weston and Haydes::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Still faces the door, now with the CTO standing in it:: CTO: According to the information from the SO over here, there's no need for anything protective. It should not be contagious.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: We have to find this botanist and his assistant. Maybe we can interrogate Dr. Weston's team.. We have to know where they are. And we'll set up our own research here. But i think you can clear sickbay, gives us some breathing room
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CMO: Right no problem, but if I catch anything...... ::looks menacingly at Zoran then smiles::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Turns back to the SO:: SO: Yes, sounds like a good idea. The CTO is heading to dr. Weston's team right now, maybe you can join them and find out about the missing Vulcans. I will take care of clearing sickbay.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: She was banished from Betazed for being a witch...so...very strong telepathic and telekinetic abilities I think...I know...and...the plants...probably animals, maybe some sort of weather control, you say there was a barrier...and god...I felt like I was being pulled into the planet's crust...everything went black god I don't even know what happened.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::goes in my office and stands down looking at some files::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CMO: Right. ::Closes all information in the PADD and encrypts it, then stands up to join the CTO::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He heads out of his office with the SO and CTO:: CTO: What did you want to say about when you catch something? ::Smiles back::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: OPS: The CSO detected an energy field of some type focused on your location. Her banishing implies there would be a strong argument as to why this course of action would be required.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks up:: Self: USS-Solaris, Haydes old ship. Why would he assign Weston a genetics doctor as head of botany? Something smells rotten and this time not in this ships galley. ::goes to find Solaris’s Botany reports::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::heads off to the Quarantine area::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::wow shakes head::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::glances to the CSO and then looks once again at the baby::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::begins to work on the shuttle information::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Follows the CTO, while trying to remember what Dr. Weston said about T'Vela in the cave::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: If Epidia was as powerful in Telepathic and Telekinetic powers, then it would partially explain why the field was something new to scientific sensors.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CSO: Could you establish some way of testing this theory?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: I...I woke up and just felt I needed to be down there, I'm sorry ma'am.. I ::turns to Rowan:: CSO: I shouldn't have left...I don't know why, I'm so sorry
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::calls up Fed Science Archives and starts sifting through reports:: self: i love when some people don't cover their tracks.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He walks over to the first quarantine field and disables it:: All with the field: Ok, you can all head to your stations or temporary quarters, but please stand by for further examinations.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: You mentioned the Airilians earlier? How does the reading relate to this?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: This isn't really my field...we'd probably need a Betazoid and a Vulcan scientist who've studied the effects of large-scale Telekinetics. I'm afraid it's not my field...
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - A member of Harris' staff has compiled a report on the Starfleet Runabout on the surface, it looks as if it has been inactive on the surface for five years, since the team arrived...the blast marks on the nacelle appear to be recent however, within the last 12 hours...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CO*: Sir i have the information on that shuttle i will have every thing with in 12 minutes.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::enters the quarantine area and turns to the SO:: SO: I'm going to start with Dr Weston, who do you want?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::spots name of Xherivan and calls up reports and also calls up Haydes medical reports in the last ten years.:: 
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: For now we have a situation on our hands, however next time you want a trip could you at least let us know? ::gives her a small smile and the benefit of doubt for now::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: The stars, named for Epidia, the constellation...and the alien woman in their poetry who came from afar...she was...bringing about a new species or something wasn't she?...I'm sorry I just know...the notes...the images from the council chamber. It’s just...it fits
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: I'll take some of the more quiet members. Maybe they'll know something about the disappearance of their 2-team members
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He then walks over to the other quarantine field and disables that one as well.:: All within the field: For you the same of course. Stand by for further analysis and you are free to head towards you stations or temporary quarters for now.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: Agreed. ::heads for Dr Weston::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::finds nothing out of the ordinary with the surveys and tries to vocalize on Weston’s aides reports::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - After a few minutes of scanning and research, Lieutenant Alina Zin marches out of the medical laboratory with a tricorder at her side, and a PADD in her hand, smiling triumphantly.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Yes ma'am...I'll do my best...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO: Whom do you have in your department? The ships computers may be able to assist? Pending on what research has reached them. ::shakes her head having been to many a symposium where results and information has taken time to be distributed::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Weston: Doctor Weston I presume.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::arriving in sickbay and moves to the quarantined section, observing the crewmembers that have on the surface::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks around and sees some people standing in the back and walks over to them::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The various members of Doctor Weston's team mill about, heading to temporary quarters, and a little unsure about what is going on...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::gathers all the information on the shuttle that’s down on the planet::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::After most of the people have left, he walks over to the SO who is still talking to some of dr. Weston's team.:: SO: So what have we found out about the Vulcans yet?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::bounces Bryn quietly on her knee looking him over to check he's alright::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Zin moves over to Black and hands over the PADD:: CIV: I have evidence as to Doctor Weston's killer...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::mutters:: Out loud: Their leader banished to the stars...The poem.. ::turns to OPS looking shocked then quickly returns to a calmer expression:: You believe this is related?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::gathers the information and exits the office and heads for the Bridge::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> ::She nods to MacAllister and looks over at him:: CTO: That would be me...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: No-one with the relevant skills, Commander. It isn't really a...studied field. Telekinetics is still rare enough in Betazoids for it to not be a mainstream science.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
TL: Bridge.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Steps up to the group and introduces himself:: Weston Team: Hi, my name is Pierce. I'm the SO aboard this ship
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods as he receives the PADD from Zin and quickly browses through the information presented to him::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> ::He nods and looks a little meek over towards Pierce:: SO: What do you want with us...?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Weston: Lieutenant MacAllister, forgive me if I don't shake your hand. I need to speak to you about a couple of your team members.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::calls up Weston's papers on genetics:: self: we might  find something incriminating here.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::arrives on the bridge::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> CTO: Of course Lieutenant...::She glances over at her team mates and sighs:: CTO: I'm assuming you haven't located Doctor T'Vela...?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::steps off the TL::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am...there's something odd about the Delar line...and the virus...I know a lot of it remains entirely unbelievable, but I've seen too much lately to be skeptical about this
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::looks around for the CO::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: Well. Some of us have been infected with a spore from the planet. We're trying to find out what effect that has on us. I'm sorry we have to keep you here in sickbay, but chances are that you're all infected. I believe your team had more members. What happened to them?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CSO, looking thoughtful::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Stands back to observe the SO talk to the scientists::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::makes notes on alterations on plant life:: Self: Okies, but could it be used on humans:: does a quick cross reference
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::She glances over at PADD and motions to a few key piece of data:: CIV: I identified Vulcan genetic material and blood under the victims finger nails...and a blood mix...from Meredith Sorenson and Michael Weston...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Weston: You assume correctly doctor, and as yet we haven't located Miss Sorenson either.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> Pierce: I don't really know...last night there was a lot of commotion in one of the labs, we heard some fighting...the next thing I know we were rushed off to the caves...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Weston: What were the circumstances of the last time you saw the two of them?
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods again and stands:: OPS/CSO: Is there anything else either of you can add to this?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> CTO: I...::She pauses:: They killed Michael...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks a bit shocked:: Weston: You know this for certain?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::As he sees the conversation is going to take longer than expected, he turns around and heads towards the lab:: Self: Let's get that blood checked from the body we found.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::sees the FCO and heads over::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Lon Delar...if you can find him.. he knows...a lot...more then we do
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Zin: Meredith Sorenson, do you have detailed information on this individual ?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: Last night? And who rushed you to the caves?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> CTO: I...I saw it happen...they killed him right there, he went ballistic, started screaming and waving a supply case around...
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods slowly:: CO: Lon Delar....we need to speak to him. He knows.... things.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::regains his composure:: Weston: And it was just the two of them?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Science 1> Pierce: Doctor Weston...she said it was for our own safety. ::He glances across the room at Sam and MacAllister:: We were constantly worried about an Airilian attack, we had scouted out the caves a few weeks earlier...but we weren't able to get down to the caves, so Meredith suggested we use the runabouts transporters...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CSO/OPS: He shouldn't be hard to find I believe he was even onboard with Haydes not too long ago. Feel free to try and contact him if you must ::considers reminding them how conversations often turn out with Haydes staff and thinks better of it::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> ::She nods slowly, a tear running down her cheek:: CTO: Yes...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He enters the lab and walks over to the body. He looks over it and looks a little disgusted at the multiple stab wounds:: Self: Someone really wanted him to stay dead I guess.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
OPS: What information could he provide?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks annoyed at being disturbed:: Self: okay no work on humans, maybe if I look through her team health files of the past and cross reference them with the ones the CMO did.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::walks up to the RR and pushes the button::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::thinks for a second then looks slightly confused:: Weston: How many weapons did they each have?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks up:: CEO: She's occupied, chief, so If you found something put it on a padd and jam it under the door.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
CIV: Nothing beyond her official profile, she was a botany specialist from earth...assigned to work with Doctor T'Vela.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
FCO: thanks.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
Out loud: Enter! ::already expecting the CEO::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am...Delar...doesn't work for Haydes...I assure you
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::enters::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He notices the PADD close to the body. Picking it up begins to read the contents. He studies the information on each wound in their order of event closely::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: So Meredith beamed you all to the caves? Do you know who was left behind?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> ::She closes her eyes, trying to focus, and gives an unsure expression, shrugging her shoulder:: CTO: I...I don't remember...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CEO: Your welcome, chief. :: goes back to his research:: Self: Okay, but what is her link with her last assignment and Haydes::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Weston: Ok, let's start from the beginning, and what DO you remember?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Sir I have the Data information on the shuttle.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: OPS/CSO: Find out what you can of this planet we are leaving soon, and make enquiries where needed, only ...please keep me updated.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
Zin: Hhmmm, let's see how Lieutenant MacAllister is doing...  ::nods at Zin and moves to the CTO::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the CEO:: CEO: Thank you ::takes the information:: And your recommendations for returning it?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods:: CO: I'll start searching for Lon Delar. There are some...things that I need to ask him.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::raises a worried eyebrow towards her husband::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> ::She pauses and glances as Zin and Black move over, she closes her eyes once more:: CTO: I was doing a last check for the night, closing down the labs, and I heard yelling coming from one of the far laboratories...I went to check it out...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: sir if i could take some Engineering crew down to the planet we could get that shuttle back up here.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::nods slowly:: Weston: Go on.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> SO: Miss Sorenson went to the Runabout, Doctor Weston...Mike...and T'Vela were the only three not with us...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He puts down the PADD as he has personally examines the wounds too and tries to compare them with the information on the PADD. He then takes out his instruments and gets a sample of the body's blood::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> CTO: He was yelling something about how we had to get off this planet...and then Meredith, well, she was trying to convince him to stay...we were all happy here...none of us wanted to leave...and then he swung his kit...and they attacked...oh god, there was so much blood...::She begins crying::
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CSO and OPS:: CSO/OPS: Thank you and perhaps we can talk further when returning to federation space. ::shakes her head slightly:: 
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CEO: We have little time left, and infecting more people with this virus would not be something I could consider.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: We have found Mike. I'm sorry to inform you that he's dead. Do you know what they were working on?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: understood Sir permission to go back to work.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CO: Ma'am...unless I'm needed imminently on the bridge I think I should take my son home and rest up, I'm just a little.. tenderized at the moment
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He takes the sample and walks to a computer nearby, carefully placing the sample for examination.:: Computer: Computer, please examine the blood sample of Doctor Michael Weston on any abnormalities.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> SO: No...we were all on different projects, Doctor Weston assigned out work-load each week...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks round and sees Zin and Black approaching so he motioned for one of the security lads to watch over Weston before standing and facing Zin:: ZIN: What did you find?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Computer> CMO: Processing.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:: notices that the doctor is doing analyzes of Dr Michael Weston’s blood:: Self: I want that result.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CEO: Yes, and thank you.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
::Zin nods to MacAllister and hands him the tricorder with the scans:: CTO: We have two killers on our hands, Doctors T'Vela and Sorenson.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the CTO::  CTO: Lieutenant, good to see you on the case...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::walks out of the RR room::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods and hums a little native tune, while taping his fingers on a table, as he waits for the computer to come back with a reply.::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: Do you have any idea what happened to T'Vela and Meredith?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN: That backs up Dr Weston's story.
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: OPS: Yes, and check in with the doctor he may be able to work on those bruises a bit more. ::smiles to her::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CIV: Thank you Sir, Nice to still have you aboard.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: I mean, did you notice anything strange in the days or hours prior to your departure?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The computer before Abmeraz lights up, and displays a carbon strain on the display - it's overly complicated...over thirteen thousand carbon strains...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::waits for the TL:: TL: Maine Engineering.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CTO: Likewise... what does Doctor Weston remember from the incident ?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> SO: No...I can't say I did...I was working with one of the doctors on a survey in the next valley over, we had only come in for the night...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: Do you know who was doing work in the labs?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
ZIN/CIV: Dr Weston claims to have witnessed the murder first hand, hence the state she's currently in.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He looks at the screen and looks a little puzzled. His eyes open wide as he grabs both sides of the console and looks more closely to the strains:: Computer: Computer, please verify the number of carbon strains.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> SO: No...I'm sorry I can't be more helpful...
CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::as the readyroom clears she asks the computer for the latest reports on the virus, science crew and then glances down at the shuttle reports handed to her first::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Computer> CMO: Confirmed.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::steps out onto the bridge with Bryn on her hip looking into his bright eyes:: Bryn: Ah little one I missed you
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He scratches his head as he takes another look at the screen:: Self: This is going to take for ever. ::sighs::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods with understanding::  CTO: Did she explain or recall anything that could lead us to a motive in this case ?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::gets off the TL::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - A wave of comfort and contentness seem to wash over Rowan and Brenna Delar as their son clings to his mother.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Scientist_1: You have helped me tremendously. I thank you for your time. If you haven't been examined yet by our medical staff, please do so. I'm sure you will be assigned quarters soon
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads for ME::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Scientist 1> SO: Thank you sir...::He nods and heads off::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CIV: Yes Sir, She mentioned that Michael went Loco and started screaming about getting off the planet and swinging round a hefty Med kit.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Walks out of sickbay, towards the TL.. Black is going to have a visitor.. time for some answers...::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: You know...I could feel him up here...it was the strangest thing
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles softly as he walks slightly behind Brenna, smiling at her with their son::
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston> ::She glances over at Zin, MacAllister and Black:: CIV: Captain...can we go home now?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He walks over to the computer, which was running the tests on the formula that has been started before they were sent to the surface:: Self: Let's see if this is done yet and have the computer run some tests on the blood sample.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::arrives in ME and goes back to work::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: Remember that he's part Betazoid as well as human...and part Zakdorn ::grins slightly:: Sometimes he'll let you know he's okay
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looking annoyed at the viewscreen:: Self: okay genetics, research with Plants, Had yes’ old head of Botany. Still searching medical files and cross referencing with Team and past files and start search of Haydes family medical files in the past 30 years. ::starts off to do this and sits back::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO:I suppose...hmmm...I think we're going home, I'm not cleared for duty for a bit...what about you?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::moves slowly towards the turbolift::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks over to the SO to see how he's doing::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: I'm not even supposed to be out of Sickbay. ::smiles and follows into the turbolift::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He scratches his head again:: Self: Darn, I didn't know the computer was having so much trouble with my formula. I have to figure some other ways to run some tests on the blood.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::taps the panel to bring them to their quarters:: CSO: Well then.. I better see you back to your bed then ::winks and laughs softly, wincing as a sore spot gives her trouble ::Lousy plants
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Suddenly he stops in his tracks.. where is he headed? Black was in sickbay.. it's really time for some R&R.. walks back to sickbay::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Weston: No doubt we will be returning shortly to our base of operations, however, I do reckon that you and your team will have to remain available for further questioning... I'm sorry. Nevertheless, we will pay attention to you and your team's well being in the process of course.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He walks back to the other console, with the blood sample again:: Computer: Computer, can you run some tests on the blood sample? I need to know if there is any possibility that the strains can cause harm to Terrans or other species.
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Sam Weston>CIV: You don't understand Captain, we... ::She sniffles and wipes her eyes:: Have a great deal of work to complete on the surface...we need to go home...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Enters sickbay and sees Black:: Black: Sir, could i speak with you for a moment? in private please
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::quietly:: CIV: What are we going to do about the two missing people?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Computer> CMO: Processing, cross-referencing with known data on strain.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CIV: They are, after all, Murder suspects.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods to himself and looks a bit satisfied that this console is working fine::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:;sets the computer to warn him if something is found which is weird our abnormal and moves to flight and checks sensors for Airilian Fleet::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the SO and holds his hand for a second::  SO: One moment, Mr. Pierce... I'll be with you in a moment...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks around:: *OPS*: Exeter here, we got an ETA of 8 hours on the Airilian Capital ships and one other Capital ship with fighter cover is trying to cut off our escape. Could somebody give me a bleeding order to move this bucket of bolts away?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Waits impatiently, while trying to formulate some questions in his head::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
CTO: We will look for those two missing people as long as we can... but the safety of the ship and its crew is paramount for Starfleet... especially with those Airilian ships on route we have little time...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Just realizing the computers reply he tries to rephrase his question:: Computer: Computer, Is this strain already in our database?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Computer> CMO: Affirmative.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::jerks up and hits all stop on the turbolift directing it back to the bridge::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::works on the engines trying to boots the Scimitar power in case she needs to get out fast::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::turns to Weston::  Weston: Doctor, rest assured we will return as soon as possible.... or do you have additional information to share with me that might explain your urgency in this case ?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CIV: Understood sir, I'll run some detailed scans from Tactical. ::with that he leaves sickbay and heads for the TL::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
Computer: Please verify that the strain is harmless to all species aboard the USS Scimitar.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
*FCO*:Where's our nearest ships?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The computer displays three windows on the console, they pop up in sequence - a report from Doctor Weston on a chemical compound located three years ago, a report from Starfleet Medical on the compound, and the scans of Lieutenant Harris, showing the compound in his system...
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
<Computer> CMO: Negative.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::sighs softly and takes Bryn:: OPS: I guess that means you're in command again?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
*OPS*: Oh, I forgot you've been out of the loop. There are no ships close to us we are deep behind enemy lines.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: I'm no more fond of it then you are...god...I hurt all over...think they installed that tub in our quarters yet?...god I could use a soak.. and a glass of wine...some nice music heavy on the cello...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
TL: Deck one, Bridge.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*FCO* check out the power in crease in the engines that’s if you need more power.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::turns to face the SO and nods::  SO: Alright, Ensign... apologies about the delay... I'm all ears...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Hits the console:: Self: Darn, this is not good. I have to inform our CEO about it.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
*OPS*: I suggest you give me a order or this little FCO is going renegade and sending this ship to friendly lines. If we wait any longer we will get into ship-to-ship dogfight.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
Black: In private please sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::steps off the TL onto the bridge then heads for his console::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::steps of the lift as soon as it stops:: FCO: Can we outrun them, and can we get to our territory before we're cut off, give me the maximum amount of time before we need to make an escape
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: We have two people unaccounted for on the planet Jim, how long have we got?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
OPS/CTO: let me check, you got me as pilot so I'll have to factor that in ::checks his sensors and inputs a few figures:: *CEO*: Don't need Max power to engines, I suggest you start working on shield efficiency.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*FCO*: Okay Ensign I work on the shields as well. ::Laughs::
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  SO: Very well, follow me... ::quickly heads out of sickbay::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
OPS:/CTO: Okay factoring in that you got a Exeter as pilot you have two hours before we lose our window of escape.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant Harris, Doctor Abmeraz here. Please report to sickbay as soon as you are available. There is something I need to discuss with you.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Follows Black, while putting away his PADD::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CMO*: understood on my way.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
FCO: Then we hold here for one hour and forty five minutes ensign, there could be more people down there...and there are things...we need to stand here for now...just hold tight and we'll make it through I have fait in the skills your genes carry for the engines
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::enters his office area, nods at Diana and heads straight into his private office::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads for sickbay::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks around.. nice office...He follows Black into his private office::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
OPS: Listen, oh vague one. My suggestion is we move, because I have little trust in our Chief engineer.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::eases into the big chair patting the XO's seat for her husband and groaning at her pulverized bits praying for a holiday on Risa::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Just make sure you're ready; we might have to cut it a bit close.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: I know we'll be cutting it a bit close.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He downloads the information from the strain to a PADD and takes it with him to his office. Waiting for the CEO to arrive::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
FCO: Ensign you will hold or you will be moved to more reliable quarters in the brig do I make myself PERFECTLY clear, we have officers on that planet unaccounted for as yet and we leave NO ONE behind if we can help it
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::shakes head:: Self: this was the Scimitar and what a noble ship she was.
CIV_Capt_Black says:
::takes a seat and nods at the SO to do the same:: SO: So, Mr. Pierce...what is on your mind ?
Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - Estrogen combined with an unknown carbon strain seems to result in violence. A man, Michael Weston has been stabbed seventeen times for wanting to leave the planet of Zakratus VI...and both Weston and Harris seem to carry this unusual carbon chain within their blood systems...

Now, an Airilian Task Force is eight hours away, giving little opportunity for escape, and the answers that Rowan and Brenna Delar seek are no where near being close to answered. We have a dead body, a million questions and a not so perfect Eden on our hands...where do the questions end, and the answers begin?
