Last time on the Scimitar:

Summary: The Scimitar crew is in a polar orbit around the planet in the Keklik sector and assemble an away team to go to the surface to see if they can uncover more about how or why the planet was damaged so badly. The CO selected the CSO and FCO, as well as some token 'red shirts' to go to the surface to investigate. After some staffing confusion, the away team got under way while the CO and Captain Rome discussed if it was a good idea to send the CSO on the away mission.

Never a dull moment in Sickbay as the XO and CNS attempt to get answers from Doctor York, after a few questions Rupert York refuses to answer any more and closed his eyes. Sima entered and promptly passed out - it is determined later that her liver is failing due to exposure to radiation. A few minutes later Aelia's stats start crashing and Doctor York suffers a heart attack. The CMO's hands full, he does what he can to stabilize Sima, resorting to cryofreezing her as the EMH comes to the same conclusion, putting Aelia in stasis as well. Doctor York thankfully stabilizes.

The away team finds the planet completely obliterated like it has been incinerated, with traces of radiation and weapons fire of some sort. They are now on their way to a set of caves which might reveal some more answers.

Captain's Log,  Stardate 10906.08: There are too many questions and not enough answers, Dr York has been stabilised, the Counsellor's baby is in stasis, the CSO and FCO are on the planet doing god knows what and I'm being kept in the dark about it all.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::enters the turbolift to the bridge, rubbing his eyes and sighing slightly::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@::At the entrance to the caves, scanning inside them and still finding no signs of life within them, takes a sigh and steps back to take a look around the planet to see what she may find::

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::sitting on the Bridge in the CNS's chair::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sitting in his big chair on the bridge::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::exits the turbolift and walks onto the Bridge::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Commander Romak. ::nods::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: It's Ro'kar, Lieutenant. ::nods back and approaches the CO:: CO: Captain

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: hears a sudden beep from her tricorder, and stops mid-step as she looks down at the reading coming from it she notices that there were signs of animal life within the caves, she turns around and walks back into the caves to see if she can get anything from them::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Got Admiral Shinra on the line for you, Captain MacAllister.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::nods to the XO:: XO: Lieutenant.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Having finished setting up a secure section within one of the quarantine bays of Sickbay, Vendal has Dr. York moved to the new room to keep him within the appropriate level of security::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
OPS: I'll take it in my ready room. ::stands and walks towards his ready room:: XO: You have the bridge.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::sits in the not-so-big-chair (TM) ::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: Looks around the cave as she walks into them, glancing at the tricorder in her hand as she carefully steps further into them::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Aye Sir! Transferring the call to your little 9-inch screen instead of the huge cinematic experience you'd get here.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::Sickbay having quieted down a bit, she is sitting in her wheelchair talking to the CMO:: CMO: John... 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* Sir I just wanted to inform you we have moved Dr. York to the secure room within sickbay.  Once he has recovered enough I will inform you so we may begin interrogation

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Why did you come back? After all these years... they let you go so... easily? 

Dr York says:
::gets up off his bed:: Aloud: Hello?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged, Lieutenant, good work. Keep a medical staff member on hand at all times

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sits down behind his desk and activates his console::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: Sir please return to your bed.  If you need medical staff I will have one come to you

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* Yes sir

Admiral Shinra says:
COMM: CO: Ethan, you wanted to speak with me?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: They were done with me. I'd completed what I had been asked to do and demanded that they let me return to Starfleet... and to you. Ryn, I need to speak to you about the treatment options for your baby.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: Stumbles upon the animals and stops in her tracks, she looks down and runs the tricorder over the animals, picking up readings of radiation from them, stepping back as they stir trying not to make a sound near them::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CMO* If you have a person to spare Dr. York has regained consciousness

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: I did, is there any particular reason that the Federation would want to wipe out an entire race?

Doctor York says:
CTO: No, no... I just don't like being in here...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: I understand however your actions have placed you in this situation.  If you are ready to answer some questions I will call for the XO

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*CTO*: I think the XO might be interested in that information. As long as Dr. York is stable I don't mind you and the XO asking him some questions.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::nods:: CMO: Alright... 

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: Watch your tone, Captain. I'd be careful before throwing such strong accusations at Starfleet Command.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Lieutenant Zen, do we have communications with the away team?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* Sir Dr. York has regained consciousness.  The CMO has approved interrogation

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::throws a dirty look at Dr. York:: CMO: Oh, great, he's awake...

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Of course, Commander Romak.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: The accusation wasn't thrown at Starfleet... rather at someone within the Federation intent of destroying all evidence that the species in the Keklik sector ever existed.

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: Are you going to explain or do I have to ask you bit by bit?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: There's an experimental treatment that might be able to save her life. It's risky but I think it's her best chance.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: You would think that the Acting Chief of Operations would know the names of his senior staff...::responds to the CTO:: *CTO*: Understood, I will be down there shortly

Sima says:
::stirs in her stasis::

ACTION: Alarms start going off on Sima's stasis 'pod'.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Yes, do it--- What was that? 

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Ensign Zen, you have the conn. Hail the away team and get a status report, I will be in the Sickbay ::gets up off his seat::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::rushes over to Sima's 'pod' and quickly checks her vitals::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::enters the turbolift... again...:: Computer: Sickbay

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: We have evidence that Federation weapons were used to raze any civilisation here to the ground... and to top it off we have an apparent spy on board that we picked up from the Moses who has sought to deliberately destroy all records of this system and the communication received from it.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: I'll be right with you. Aelia is stable for the moment but Sima isn't and I really need to deal with her right now.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Yes, yes... go... ::is feeling very tired and sore::

ACTION: As with all equipment Sima comes into contact with, the stasis unit starts losing power. Connected to the main power, all power on the ship fluctuates.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::sees that the radiation in Sima is interfering with the stasis unit:: Self: Any normal human would be dead with this radiation level...

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: You know who the spy is?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks up:: Aloud: And now?

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
OPS: Well, that's not good... I bet it was the girl...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::As lights begin to flicker Vendal draws his phaser and keeps Dr. York under close watch::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CNS: Well being as you aren't down there checking on her, I wouldn't know. 

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: Doctor Rupert York... ::sees the lights dimming:: Dammit, now what???

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: walks back out into the daylight and re-reads the readings from the scan on the animals:: Self: Hmmmm... OK so the animals health is failing but they are surviving in the caves, more so the radiation being emitted from them. :: sighs deeply as she tries to make sense of it :: If only there were a way to get back in touch with the ship so they could have access to these readings, it could be of some use to them

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Sir, this is Lt. Powers in sickbay. I need to get Sima into a science lab where we can reproduce the atmospheric conditions of her planet. She needs the radiation... in small doses... to keep her alive. I could really do with the CSO's help on this.

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
OPS: No need to be touchy. Having some problems lately that you are projecting onto the rest of the crew?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: How long will it take you to make the necessary changes?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Without help from the science division... maybe too long. I'll do my best.

ACTION: Other equipment starts failing from power drainage in Sickbay, most notably Aelia's stasis unit.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::rolls over towards a console:: CTO: I'm going to look up Dr. York's record, if you don't mind.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: Do you you have an explanation for these power fluctuations?

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: York? What is he... of course... he's just returned from a personal expedition just after the Keklik sector. How did his research go on that?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::notices the power failing:: *XO*: I was hoping you would. I think it might be Sima. We're going to have to get her back to her planet for the time being while the science department can arrange things back here. I suggest sending the EMH with her as the atmosphere would be too dangerous for me.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*Bridge*: Lieutenant Ro'kar to the Bridge, I need a spare science lab that we can reproduce the atmospheric conditions of the planet, and a Science representative to work with the CMO to do this

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: Quite frankly I'm more concerned about what he was doing deleting all records of this area from not only the Scimitar but also the Moses.

Sima says:
::steps outside the stasis unit fully conscious and with a glow::

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: I can't answer that, but maybe his research has the answers?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::exits the Turbolift and enters Sickbay:: CMO: I think we will have to take her back to the surface

ACTION: The stasis unit of Aelia fails completely.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: What exactly was he researching?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We need to do that right now!

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*XO*: Science Lab 3 can be used.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::whips around:: CMO: John! The baby! 

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Nurse: Nurse! Get Aelia on life support right now!

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: sighs deeply as she can't make sense of the readings, she ponders for a moment and decides to take samples of the rock of the caves and the ground ::

Nurse says:
::rushes over to Aelia and makes the arrangements quickly::

Sima says:
CMO: What is it? ::looks petrified and then grabs her side in agony, barely able to stay standing::

Doctor York says:
CTO: I can't stay in this little room... I have work to do... very important.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*OPS*: Ensign, get Science to reproduce the planet's atmosphere and notify me when it is ready, this is time critical so get on it now

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Sima: You're very ill. We need to get you back to your planet. ::doesn't sign because he hasn't been told about the need to::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*XO*: Aye Commander Romak!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: Others of us have work to do, more now that you have deleted all the info you have.  Care to explain that action?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: collects the samples and heads back to the shuttle ::

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
York: Yes, what kind of work is that? I know that you are a neurologist by trade... why are you interested in scans and probe data, Doctor?

Sima says:
::touches her lips then starts to vocally speak; her voice is croaky and unused:: CMO: Something is happening...

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We need an emergency transport for her and the EMH to the planet immediately.

ACTION: Aelia's stats drop and she flatlines.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::turns around at the new voice:: CMO: I thought the child was mute?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CMO: Do you really want to do that, Doctor? I suppo- ::spins around at the sound of the flatline::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Ignores Solaa:: Sima: Yes, I know and I'm trying to do everything I can to help you.

Sima says:
::looks to the baby:: Solaa: I am sorry... I didn't mean to... ::grimaces with pain again::

Nurse says:
::gives Aelia a 2CCs of Legrazine to get her heart started again::

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::barely registers that her daughter is dead:: CMO: Ohmygosh! Is she dead?! ::wheels over to her daughter:: 

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: gets back into the shuttle and takes her seat, and powers the shuttle up ready to head back to the Scimitar::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I think Sima is the reason why all my other patients are suffering. We need to transport her to her planet now!

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: Like I said, it was personal research. I don't even know what it was. He funded it all himself.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*Bridge*: Ro'kar to Bridge, beam Sima to the planet's surface, have the away team coordinate to meet up with her

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*XO*: I can not do it, Commander Rocker... I cant get a lock on her, too much radiation.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: That just leaves us with the fact that Federation weapons were used to obliterate the surface of this planet Admiral.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
::screams and cries:: CMO: Get her off of this ship!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*OPS*: Can you not lock onto her at all?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*XO*: What did I just say?!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I'm going to have to go down there to look after her. Nurse: I'm going to the planet with the girl. You're in charge here. Do not let the baby die. I will hold you personally responsible if she does.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: A shuttle. We need to get her out of here.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged. ::turns to the CMO:: They can't get a lock on her, too much radiation. A shuttle, yes, that would work

Sima says:
CMO: Wait... ::grimaces with pain again:: I am dying.. but I must... ::moves to Aelia as fast as she can::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Sima: What for?

Sima says:
::pulls to the baby, reaches in and touches her bare skin::

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
Sima: YOU KILLED HER! What are you doing?!

Nurse says:
:: uses Starfleet medical issue defibrillators to try and restart the heart::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CNS: Counsellor, I need you to let the Medical personnel do their duty

ACTION: Sima glows. The light envelops her and Aelia for a full minute. When she steps back, she falls to the floor, sat down.

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
XO: LET ME TELL THAT TO YOU WHEN YOUR BABY IS DEAD!!!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::stares at Sima in disbelief before trying to pull her away::

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: That should be your top priority.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@::enters the coordinates for the Scimitar into the shuttle and takes off from the planet heading back to the Scimitar::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Scans Aelia:: Aloud: I don't get it. She's alive... and stronger than before. All the signs of prematurity are gone... she's as strong as any healthy new born.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CTO*: Ro'kar to Vendal. Report, Lieutenant

Sima says:
::looks up at Solaa, tears in her eyes, obviously in immense pain:: CNS: Please... forgive me... I was scared...

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Sima: How did you do that?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: Hence the reason I'm contacting you... I don't have the clearance to find out who has the power to authorise such an attack.

Admiral Shinra says:
COM: CO: You do now.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We need to get Sima to the planet... it's her only hope right now.
Doctor York says:
CTO: Don't you see!? There is so much more at stake.. the odds are too high, the risk is exponentially greater the more you delay me!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: How can any of us "see" when you don't tell us anything?  You will stay here until you tell us everything

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*Bridge*: Ro'kar to Bridge, can you beam Sima to the surface now?

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: What?! ::sees her spots appearing:: Her spots... look, John, her spots! ::cries::

ACTION: Looking up at the CNS, Sima closes her eyes and promptly dies without ever getting Solaa's response.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: Shinra: Perfect... If anyone knows who's behind this then Doctor York would be the person to ask. I'll have words with him first.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* Sir Dr. York is vehemently asking to leave the confines of this room and continue his work.  He refuses to answer any questions instead just complaining about how we are delaying his work

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Sees Sima close her eyes and quickly scans her. Turns his head slowly towards the CNS:: CNS: She's dead, Ryn.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CTO*: Is he aware the longer he refuses to answer our questions, the longer he will be kept here?

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: What? Who? The girl? 

Doctor York says:
CTO: No... no... NO! You MUST let me GO!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* I have explained that to him and he doesn't seem to understand or care

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::taps his Comm Badge:: *CTO*: Have Doctor York brought to my ready room under armed guard immediately.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: You are the one delaying yourself.  Speak man and you can remove the delays, possibly

Doctor York says:
::Sighs and puts a hand to his head:: CTO: I couldn't stop them... it's all my fault...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*CO* Aye sir

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@::Exits the planets orbit and makes her way back to the Scimitar, the images of the planet running through her head as she keeps her course::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CTO*: Understood. I will come help in a moment

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Motions another guard to take flank and points his phaser at the man:: Dr. York: Please come with us sir.

Doctor York says:
CTO: You really don't get it.. there will be more Kekliks... more death unless you let me GO! Please!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO* Sir the CO has asked me to bring Dr. York to the bridge, I am en route now

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Dr. York: If I must I will stun you and drag you there, please don't make me.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Yes. Sima is dead. ::looks at the body in disbelief at what just happened::

Doctor York says:
 ::so stressed he falls again in a heart attack::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*Medical* Dr. York has fallen again, seemingly another heart attack

CNS LtCmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Wow... poor thing. The last of her people... and we won't even know what happened... 

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@::Sees the Scimitar in view and heads for the shuttle bay:: 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
*XO/CO* Dr. York appears to have had another heart attack, just before falling he said something about not being able to stop them and it all being his fault

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
Self: who is 'them'? ::starts to run to the other area:: *CTO*: On my way

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::hears the alarms and rushes to the isolation unit:: Self: What now?

@ACTION: Anubis docks successfully. York runs to the toilet as fast as he can.
CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::mutters under his breath about spies and heart attacks::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Sees Dr. York and gives him a shot of Lectrazine to stabilise his heart::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::watches the CSO run off:: Self: Sheesh my driving isn't all that bad... 

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CO*: Lieutenant Ro'kar to Captain MacAllister, sir did you learn anything important in your talk with the Admiral? I have a feeling that Doctor York knows something big

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: powers down the shuttle and shakes her head as she stands and walks off the shuttle picking up the samples on her way out::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: Only that Doctor York knows something big Lieutenant, Apparently he was doing some research in this area.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Sir I would like to search the Doctor's quarters and see if we can find any of his research.  Perhaps we can find some answers in the data

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: What could be SO important that the Doctor would refuse to talk about it? What did he find out? What did he see? ::Replies:: CTO: Go ahead, Lieutenant, you have my permission

ACTION: Dr York is stabilised

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::nods and leaves for the Doctor's quarters to find what he can::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CO*: And what makes you think you could get through to him? He is as...er...as special as his son

CMO Lt. Powers says:
XO: No more interrogation for Dr. York for a while. He's too weak. His heart won't handle the stress.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: I have my ways.
