Star Trek: Apache - Episode #13
Week # 3
Mission: "Questions of Loyalty"

Host Jafo says:
To further his investigation, Lieutenant Soria had asked the crew to report to the brig to let them know of his findings. He has come to the conclusion that the murderer is someone with the same genetic make-up of the "Silver Blood" and has asked the crew to report to sickbay for a series of blood tests to prove that they are who they report to be.

Sonja_Davore says:
XO: Oh, excuse me sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::stops short:: Sonja: Whoops!  Sorry there ... you okay?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::grumbling about Orion’s::

CEO_Yeung says:
::going over final repairs to ship systems::

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Mister Hammond, step up to Doctor Sarel.  She'll administer your test.  ::sees Sonja and the XO::

MO_Sarel says:
::sees the XO and CNS enter::

Sonja_Davore says:
XO: Oh yes, I'm fine.  Are you okay?  I should have been seeing where I was going.  I didn't mean to step on your toes like that. ::weak smile::

CNS_Vekh says:
::waits his turn on the biobed, grumbling about Klingons::

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: Aye sir.  ::walks up to the MO::

Host XO_Linard says:
::grins:: Sonja: Don't worry about it ... 9 toes are more than enough for anyone.

SO_Hammond says:
MO:  Where do you want me?

CMO_Naegle says:
XO:  You, on the other hand, are mine Commander. ::gets a big evil grin on her face::

FCO_Romanov says:
::closes the letter and looks at the blank viewscreen and sighs::

Sonja_Davore says:
XO: Again, my apologies.  ::smiles a little::

Host XO_Linard says:
::grins up at the CMO:: CMO: You don't get out of sickbay much do you, Doctor?

MO_Sarel says:
SO: Hello ... you can just get on this biobed. ::points to the vacant one next to her::

EO_Powers says:
::hopes he doesn't have to talk to the Orion during the day::

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads over to the CMO::

SO_Hammond says:
MO: Very well.  ::hops onto the biobed::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift, and walks the length of the corridor, entering the Main Science Bay. Two tactical officers are still entering descriptions into their PADD’s of the area surrounding the sample of Silver Blood::

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Commander, I've talked to Mister Powers after his outburst, and I think that his actions were in the heat of the moment.

MO_Sarel says:
SO: And this won't hurt a bit ... I promise. ::gets a gigantic needle and shows it to him::

Host Lt_Soria says:
::looks up as Cha`Dak walks into the room:: CTO: Good afternoon, Lieutenant...

Sonja_Davore says:
::stands near the SO:: SO: Sir, according to my schedule I'm assigned to the science department next.

SO_Hammond says:
::smiles:: MO: I've heard that before.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Soria: Greetings, Lieutenant. How goes your investigation?

MO_Sarel says:
SO: Ha hah ... just kidding. I am not using this ancient thing.

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: XO: No, not really.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: That's good to hear.  Have you reported to Commander Storal yet?

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: Thank you Mister Vekh, I understand. However, I think he needs to keep himself intact in further situations like that. Perhaps a few anger management sessions would be in order?

Host Lt_Soria says:
::rubs at his shock of bushy hair: CTO: Oh ... Lieutenant, this is a tough case!

Sonja_Davore says:
::shakes her head:: SO: I'm terrified, sir.  I was hoping you could help me break the ice.

CSO_Storal says:
*FCO*: Mister Romanov, I need you to go over the sensor logs to see if anything was overlooked. As soon as Mister Hammond is done in Sickbay he will assist you.

MO_Sarel says:
SO: But I like to keep it around for laughs.

FCO_Romanov says:
::needs to report to Commander Storal, gets up and heads to the Science lab::

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets out a hypospray to extract blood from the XO:: XO: Now this won't hurt a bit.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: I hear you. When I served as CMO on the USS Hayden I didn't think I'd ever get out of sickbay sometimes.  My only friends were my biobeds...

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Yes sir. I'm considering that as well. With your permission I'd like to have him released from the Brig for now.

SO_Hammond says:
MO: That would do it.  That or scare the heck out of someone.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Soria: You seem to be coming along extremely quickly. I admire your deductional skills. Is there anything I can do to help?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Mister Yeung works in Main Engineering, he looks up to see Captain Madred, and an armed security officer, enter the room.

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow upon seeing the group::

MO_Sarel says:
::does the hypospray to extract his blood::

Host Lt_Soria says:
CTO: Gee, Lieutenant ... I don't know. I think we got things about covered here.

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles again:: XO: Well, I have friends … fortunately.

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: Well Counselor, if you feel that he is ready for duty then by all means ... I trust your judgment.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: No problem, I would rather have someone around when talking to Commander Storal myself right now.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::waves for his escort to wait at the door and walks up to Commander Yeung:: CEO: Commander...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Soria: Are you implying that you are at the end of your investigation? ::raises an eyebrow::

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks up to Madred:: Madred: Can I help you, sir?

FCO_Romanov says:
::enters the Science lab, passing by Lieutenant Cha`Dak and Lieutenant Soria without a word::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Actually, Mister Powers has not come in for testing yet.  I'd really like to see him.

CNS_Vekh says:
::thinks that he hopes he's right about the EO as well:: XO: Thank you, sir. I'll see to his release.

Sonja_Davore says:
::grins:: SO: But sir, he is Bajoran.  I'm afraid he'll assign me to wash the beakers for the rest of my stay in the science department.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods and smiles at the CMO watching her work::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::glances around main engineering critically:: CEO: How soon can you have the Apache readied for maximum warp, Commander?

Host Lt_Soria says:
::grins:: CTO: Oh, I didn't say that, sir.

SO_Hammond says:
::looks over at the MO:: MO: You were right, that didn't hurt a bit.

CEO_Yeung says:
CPT_Madred: Maximum warp? We should be ready in a little under an hour, sir. We've practically finished repairs.

FCO_Romanov says:
::knocks on Commander Storal's door::

CNS_Vekh says:
::moves a few steps to the side and taps his badge cursing under his breath:: *CTO*: Vekh to Cha`Dak, come in Lieutenant.

MO_Sarel says:
SO: Okay ... I told you. ::smiles::

CSO_Storal says:
::hears the knock:: FCO: Enter.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Soria: Excuse me, Lieutenant... ::turns and taps his combadge::

SO_Hammond says:
::chuckles:: Sonja: I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::nods approvingly:: CEO: You've got 20 minutes. ::turns on a heal and heads out of Main Engineering::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CNS*: Cha`Dak here.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: So is there anything I can do to make sure everyone gets here for their tests?

CMO_Naegle says:
::presses the hypospray to the XO's arm to extract the blood:: XO:  There, all done. Now I'll just label this and put it with the others.

FCO_Romanov says:
::steps inside:: CSO: I was told to report to you to assist in going over sensor logs.

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes a deep breath:: *CTO*: Mister Cha`Dak, could you see to Mister Power's release from the brig at your earliest convenience?

SO_Hammond says:
MO: You have a nice touch, anything else?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods and gets his people working to finish repairs::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: The only one that I know of who isn't here, and hasn't been here, is John Powers.

MO_Sarel says:
SO: Why thank you ... I think we are done for now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CNS*: Certainly, Commander. I'll be there shortly.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Very well then ... I take it the Counselor will see to his getting a sample taken then.

Host Lt_Soria says:
CTO: Oh sure, Lieutenant ... go right ahead. ::waves hands for him to do what he needs to do and goes back to work himself::

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: That is correct, we need to go over all the sensor logs, I’m needed on the bridge.

MO_Sarel says:
::sets the blood test aside with the others::

Sonja_Davore says:
::waits patiently for the MO and SO to finish::

CNS_Vekh says:
*CTO*: Thank you Lieutenant … Vekh out.

FCO_Romanov says:
::nods:: CSO: Aye sir.

SO_Hammond says:
::hops off the biobed:: MO: Don't have too much fun now, Doc.

CSO_Storal says:
::leaves his office  and heads to the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: I would like to make sure of that.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::heads out into a corridor where crewmembers duck out of his way as he heads for the nearest turbolift with his escort::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns back to Lieutenant Soria:: Soria: Mister Soria, I am needed in the brig. If there is anything my staff or I can do, just ask.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: You ready?

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: SO: I'm ready, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO/XO: I've just informed Mister Cha`Dak to let Mister Powers free. He can be here shortly.

FCO_Romanov says:
::watches him leave:: Self: So much for that. ::heads out::

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Keep your staff away from my experiments please.

Host Lt_Soria says:
::waves at the CTO absentmindedly, already busy with something else::

CEO_Yeung says:
::finishes the repairs::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Thank you, Counselor.

MO_Sarel says:
SO: Oh gee ... well, okay.

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::steps into a turbolift that a pair of Ensigns vacated quickly:: TL: Bridge...

CEO_Yeung says:
*Madred*: Sir? All repairs are completed. The Apache is ready.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stops just before he exits, nodding to the Commander:: Tactical staff: You heard the Commander! Keep away from his experiments. 

CSO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge…

Host CPT_Madred says:
::taps his combadge:: *CEO*: Very well, Commander. Prepare for warp. We'll be leaving the starbase shortly.

MO_Sarel says:
ALL: Okay, next victim ... err ... patient.

SO_Hammond says:
::laughs at the MO:: Sonja: After you.

Sonja_Davore says:
::steps away from the biobed, giving the SO room::

CEO_Yeung says:
*CPT_Madred*: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: You're all done, Commander.  Since the counselor is getting our errant engineer up here, you are free to go.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks over to another console and warms up the engines::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift and moves into the main part of the brig, standing before John’s cell::

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: Okay.  Where are we going?  ::turns her foot towards the exit::

FCO_Romanov says:
::walks by Lieutenant Cha`Dak and Soria on the way out::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::arrives on the bridge with his escort and glances about the handful of officers manning it:: All: Who's in charge here?

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and brings up the sensor logs on the command console::

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: Thank you Doctor. If you need me, you know where to find me... ::nods to the CNS and MO and leaves Sickbay::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Oh Counselor?

EO_Powers says:
::gives a little wave::

FCO_Romanov says:
::heads back to the bridge::

SO_Hammond says:
::walks to the nearest turbolift:: Sonja: We’ll head to main science first.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the XO as she leaves::

CSO_Storal says:
::stands at attention:: Madred: I am sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
EO: I am releasing you, Ensign. Please try hard to not attack Mister Soria while he is aboard.

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods at Commander Linard and turns back to the CMO:: CMO: I'm here for my testing, Doctor.

MO_Sarel says:
::holds up the gigantic needle looking around for the next person::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Good.  Come this way.

EO_Powers says:
::gets up slowly:: CTO: I can't make any promises.

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: Okie dokey ... I mean, aye sir!

Host CPT_Madred says:
::spots Storal and frowns:: CSO: Get Captain Tyler and Commander Linard up here, pronto. ::thinks a moment:: CSO: I have the bridge... ::moves to the center seat and punches in his command codes activating a yellow alert::

EO_Powers says:
::exits the cell::

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows Naegle's lead::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods in approval:: EO: You may wish to report to Commander Linard for orders.

Sonja_Davore says:
::to the computer after stepping into the lift:: TL: Deck 4…

CMO_Naegle says:
::leads him to a biobed::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Throughout the ship, the yellow alert sirens and klaxons sound as the ships changes alert modes.

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks around with concern::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: This won't take long, and won't hurt, I promise.

FCO_Romanov says:
::steps off the turbolift onto the bridge, seeing someone sit in the center seat and Commander Storal then hears yellow alert, goes to Flight Control and sits down::

EO_Powers says:
CTO: Do you know where she is?

CNS_Vekh says:
::as he leans down, he hears the klaxons:: Self: What?

Host XO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and hears the yellow alert:: CSO: Report Commander... ::doesn't see Captain Madred::

CSO_Storal says:
Madred: Aye sir. *CO/XO*: Please Report to the bridge immediately.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: Just call me Joseph, I've never been big on being called sir.  ::looks around at the sound::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: Man your station, Ensign.

CMO_Naegle says:
::notices the Yellow Alert:: CNS: What is that for?

Host CPT_Madred says:
::sees the FCO appear at the turbolift:: FCO: Set course for the Romulan Neutral Zone, best speed Mister Romanov.

MO_Sarel says:
::hears the yellow alert, wonders what is going on::

EO_Powers says:
CTO: That’s Lieutenant JG, actually.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Sir, the Captain has taken the bridge and ordered me to call both you and the Captain to the bridge.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the turbolift waiting to see if Powers is coming with him::

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: I appreciate your care, Doctor.  However I do not see the motive of activating yellow alert while in dock

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: Oh no!  I can't do that.  That would be ... disrespectful, sir.  ::bites her tongue, unable to catch the last "sir"::

EO_Powers says:
::follows the CTO into the turbolift::

FCO_Romanov says:
::turns and notices that it is Captain Madred:: CO: Uh, yes sir! ::turns and calls Starbase Ops for immediate departure clearance::

Sonja_Davore says:
::steps off the turbolift::  SO: We're here.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
EO: It is? My apologies, Lieutenant. 

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
TL: Deck 1, Bridge.

CSO_Storal says:
::heads to Science One to go over sensor logs::

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: Last time such a thing happened was last century, when the original starship Enterprise was stolen by then Admiral Kirk.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::sits in Captain Tyler's chair as activity begins around them::

CMO_Naegle says:
::draws his blood:: CNS: Who knows, maybe they've found something.

FCO_Romanov says:
::activates Flight and Navigational systems while waiting for clearance::

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks at the Captain sitting in the command seat:: Madred: What's going on Sir? Why are we headed for the Romulan Neutral Zone?

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: That's interesting.

SO_Hammond says:
::steps off and looks around:: Sonja: If you have to. ::smiles::

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Apache: Apache, what do you mean clearance to depart? You're confined to Starbase!

Host CPT_Madred says:
::hears the COM:: FCO: Open a channel...

SO_Hammond says:
::goes over to the nearest console and checks on the ships status.  Wondering why they are at yellow alert::

CNS_Vekh says:
::rolls down his sleeve:: CMO: Are we done here? I think I'd better check out what's going on.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the turbolift and walks straight over to tactical one::

FCO_Romanov says:
::presses a button:: CO: Channel open, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
Self: I don’t like this at all ... something has hit the fan.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::glances at Linard:: XO: Have a seat, Commander...

Sonja_Davore says:
::follows the SO:: SO: If you prefer, I can call you Lieutenant. ::looks around at the klaxon sounding yellow alert, and is puzzled by the strange lights ... and then suddenly, it dawns on her:: Self: OH!

FCO_Romanov says:
::sets a course for the Romulan Neutral zone to be engaged once clear::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at Captain Madred but remains silent::

Host XO_Linard says:
::eyes the Captain warily and takes a seat:: CPT: Well...?

FCO_Romanov says:
::retracts walkways::

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: That would be a little better, but not much.

Host CPT_Madred says:
COM: SB_OPS: This is Captain Madred, in command of the USS Apache. This vessel has my immediate authorization to break quarantine and proceed on mission. Authorization, Madred – Alpha Pi Pi 4 1 7.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings tactical systems online::

EO_Powers says:
::heads for main engineering::

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Sir, if I may ask.  What is going on?

Host SB_OPS says:
COM: Apache: Umm ... err ... aye, Captain. You have priority clearance.

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: I wonder why yellow alert has sounded while we're still docked?  Perhaps they are checking the tactical systems?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances at Kathleen::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::waves at Romanov:: FCO: Mister Romanov, best speed to the Neutral Zone...

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: I don’t know yet Lieutenant. I’ll let you know when I do. I need you to go over all the sensor logs to see if something was missed.

FCO_Romanov says:
::hears and grins:: CO: Moorings released, 1/4 impulse. ::pilots the Apache out of her berth::

CNS_Vekh says:
::with Doctor Naegle's consent, he leaves Sickbay headed for the bridge:: TL: Deck 1!

Host CPT_Madred says:
All: Take your positions; this is a matter of Federation Security. You will be advised of the situation on a need to know basis.

EO_Powers says:
::enters main engineering:: CEO: Any orders, sir?

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at the XO and slightly shakes his head in caution::

Host XO_Linard says:
::waits for the Captain to tell her what's going on::

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Aye sir, I'm right on it.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to EO:: EO: Hmph. So, they finally let you out.

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks at the SO as she sort of listens in on the conversation.:: SO: Do you have any orders for me?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Verall*: Lieutenant, all staff to their stations.

FCO_Romanov says:
::watches as they clear Starbase and traffic:: CO: Engaging at maximum warp, sir ::engages::

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: Well, ready for a crash course in going over sensor logs.

Host CPT_Madred says:
CTO: Get Lieutenant Soria up here.  CSO: You have the bridge, Commander. XO: You're with me ... Captain's Ready Room.

Host XO_Linard says:
::glances at the CSO::

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Finally ... but not before I was asked to 'share my feelings'.

Sonja_Davore says:
::grins slightly:: SO: Aye sir ... I mean, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Linard says:
::gets up and follows the Captain to the Ready Room::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt. Soria*: Lieutenant, your presence is required on the bridge.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Right now, we need to stand by, but you and I are going to have quite a talk later.

SO_Hammond says:
::smiles at Sonja's confusion::

CNS_Vekh says:
::enters the bridge and immediately spots Captain Madred, raising an eyebrow at the fact::

CSO_Storal says:
Madred: Aye sir. ::slightly shrugs at the XO::

Host Lt_Soria says:
*CTO*: Have we left the Starbase?

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: I'll get it right one of these days, Lieutenant.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Yes sir.

SO_Hammond says:
::brings up the sensor logs for the past week::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*Lt. Soria*: I think you should just come to the bridge, Lieutenant.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::walks over to the Captain's Ready Room and steps in, letting the door close behind them::

FCO_Romanov says:
CSO: ETA to Romulan Neutral Zone 3 hours present speed.

CSO_Storal says:
::moves to the center seat::

Host Lt_Soria says:
*CTO*: I'm on my way, Lieutenant.

Sonja_Davore says:
::enters into main science lab with Lieutenant Hammond and watches him bring up the logs, peering over his shoulder::

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Thank you Mister Romanov.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Right now, I need you to monitor the main ship systems. Make sure everything is working properly. Something weird is going on.

CNS_Vekh says:
::after the door closes he approaches Commander Storal:: CSO: Sir, if I may ask, what's going on here? ::said in a low voice::

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Well, weirder than before, that is.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: Don't worry about it.  You'll find everyone has their little quirks.  Mine is not being called sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings up targeting systems, but leaves weapons systems offline::

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Yes sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::waits for the Captain to speak::

Sonja_Davore says:
::tucks that information away:: SO: I will keep that in mind.

CSO_Storal says:
::looking in the direction of the ready room:: CNS: I have no idea ... Captain Madred has commandeered the ship and has ordered us to set course for the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Host XO_Linard says:
::senses something from him but can't put her finger on it::

FCO_Romanov says:
::wonders what is going on but doesn't ask, just glad to be flying::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::listens to Commander Storal’s reply::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::standing just inside the Ready Room and speaking in hushed tones:: XO: An emergency situation has arisen at the neutral zone. The USS Nebuchadnezzar reported contact with a Romulan Warbird attempting to run our blockade of the Tellas System. We're not sure what happened, but we haven't heard from her since.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: Now, lets try and narrow down all this information.

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: SO: What exactly are we looking for?

Host Lt_Soria says:
::bustles onto the bridge:: All: What's the meaning of this! You're jeopardizing the investigation by leaving the Starbase!

Host XO_Linard says:
Captain: With all due respect sir, this couldn't have waited until the investigation was completed?

CNS_Vekh says:
::process the info:: CSO: That's highly irregular, sir. Considering we were under quarantine and there were other starships at SB366...

FCO_Romanov says:
::turns:: CTO: Sir do you have a moment?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Lt_Soria: Capt. Madred has commandeered the ship. He is currently in the Ready Room. 

CSO_Storal says:
Soria: Its out of our hands Lieutenant. Our sector commander has taken charge and has given us new orders

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Soria: He requested your presence.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the FCO::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::frowns at Linard:: XO: This is a matter of Federation security, Commander. It takes precedence over your investigation. Three vessels may be burning in space out there! The Apache is only ship that has any experience in the region.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Yes, ensign?

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: That's the fun part.  We don't know.  ::smiles::  It's all a guessing game.  Find any discrepancies and go from there.

FCO_Romanov says:
::holds a PADD::CTO: I have some maneuvers they may interest you sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods suspiciously:: Captain: I see Sir....

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods:: SO: Okay.  Oh ... the joy of Starfleet.  ::chuckles, and brings up another copy of the sensor logs at another station.::

Host Lt_Soria says:
CTO: But ... but ... ::storms off towards the Ready Room::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::takes the PADD and flicks through them, raising an eyebrow::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: I am impressed. These are impressive maneuvers. I shall correlate this data with tactical systems, and present them to you momentarily.

FCO_Romanov says:
CTO: Thank you sir.

Host CPT_Madred says:
XO: I realize this is highly unusual, but it's imperative that Tellas IV is secured. The Romulans can't be allowed to get their hands on more of the Silver Blood. Barring that possibility, we're to destroy the planet.

Sonja_Davore says:
::goes through the logs:: SO: All right, how would you define "discrepancies"?

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: I'm looking for anything or anyone who came into the science bay that should not have been there.

CSO_Storal says:
Soria: Just a moment Lieutenant.

FCO_Romanov says:
CTO: I studied Klingon combat maneuvers with the D-7 and Vor’cha, integrated some of that.

Host Lt_Soria says:
CSO: What Commander!

CSO_Storal says:
Soria: It’s a closed meeting.. I need to notify the Captain that you wish to enter.

Sonja_Davore says:
::scroll through the logs, her head spinning with images, and numbers, and dates and time stamps::  SO: Hmm...

CNS_Vekh says:
::observes with interest all the events around::

CSO_Storal says:
*Madred*: Sorry for the interruption Sir.. Lieutenant Soria wishes to speak with you.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods, then begins inputting the different maneuvers, coming up with different firing patterns for each one:: FCO: I can see a Klingon style prevalent in this fourth maneuver.

CMO_Naegle says:
*EO*: Mister Powers, I need you to come to Sickbay for your testing.

Host CPT_Madred says:
*CSO*: Commander, we're on our way out... XO: If you have nothing further, Commander?

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to narrow down when someone could have taken some of the silver blood::

EO_Powers says:
CEO: I've been called by sickbay to have my blood tested. Permission to go?

FCO_Romanov says:
CTO: That is Foxtrot Seven, my favorite.

Host XO_Linard says:
Captain: Destroy? Isn't there another way to deal with this?

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: You better go. And try to avoid any violence.

CSO_Storal says:
Soria: He will be out shortly.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::sends the new targeting protocols to the FCO:: FCO: Tell me what you think of these.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::steps out of the Ready Room and practically directly into Soria:: Lieutenant: Out of my way!

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: The sample that was stolen... where was it put after it was retaken possession of?

EO_Powers says:
::smiles:: CEO: I’ll try sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
:;nods and gets back to work::

EO_Powers says:
::leaves main engineering::

FCO_Romanov says:
::looks at them, eyes brighten:: CTO: Yes...these are impressive indeed.

Host Lt_Soria says:
Madred: But Captain, by leaving Starbase you're jeopardizing my investigation into the murder of Doctor Mruil!

CSO_Storal says:
Madred: This is Lieutenant Soria, the JAG officer in charge ... he wishes to speak with you.

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: I mean, after they discover that Doctor Mruil had stolen the sample and the silver blood was taken back where was it put?

Host CPT_Madred says:
Soria: Mruil was a traitor and coward who got what he deserved. As for your investigation, it takes a back seat to the safety of the Federation!

CNS_Vekh says:
::makes a mental note on Captain Madred's actions for future reference::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins to eye Capt. Madred warily ... this is not an attitude he would expect from the captain he knows::

EO_Powers says:
::enters the TL:: TL: sickbay

Host CPT_Madred says:
::stands in the center of the bridge:: FCO: Estimate time of arrival, Ensign?

Host XO_Linard says:
Captain: Sir, if I may ask something of you? ::speaks lowly::

FCO_Romanov says:
CO: 2 hours, 20 minutes present speed.

CSO_Storal says:
::listens to the XO::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::glances at the XO:: XO: Commander, no, you may not.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: It was never retaken.  The Doctor only stole my research.  Someone else stole some of the sample.  Who is what we're trying to find out.

CMO_Naegle says:
::waits for the EO:: MO: He's the only one we have left to test.

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: Oh.  I was mistaken.  Where was the sample placed then?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::gets a very bad feeling about this whole situation, still eyeing the Captain warily::

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: And when it was last seen at that place.. and.. when it was discovered that it was gone.  That should help narrow the search.

EO_Powers says:
::exits turbolift and heads for sickbay::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances down as he monitors sensors for any vessels nearby::

EO_Powers says:
::enters sickbay::

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes a steep closer:: CPT_Madred: Sir, with all due respect, if the situation is so dangerous, why not send another vessels along?

Host XO_Linard says:
:;raises an eyebrow and begins to get agitated but remains calm:: Captain: It is merely a request ... it may help Lieutenant Soria's investigation.

FCO_Romanov says:
::listens as it seems every bridge officer questions Capt. Madred::

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: I kept it secured over there.  I haven't had the time to study it for the past couple of days. So anytime from two days before the Doctors murder.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks up as the EO enters:: EO: Thank you for coming, John.  I know you're under a yellow alert so I'll make it fast.  I just need a sample of your blood.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::frowns at Vekh and mutters to himself:: Self: Counselors... CNS: The Apache is the only vessel available with experience in the region. XO: As of now, the Lieutenant's investigation is over. If you want to carry it on you may do so off this bridge, Commander.

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: Good...::sees the EO come in::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at Lieutenant. Soria meaningfully::

EO_Powers says:
CMO: ok Dr.

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets a hypospray ready to take his blood. and walks back over to him::

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: Now this won't hurt a bit. ::presses the hypospray to his arm and draws the blood::

CNS_Vekh says:
::ignores Madred's comment on Counselors, but is not convinced by his answer:: CPT: Yes sir. If you say so ::steps back::

MO_Sarel says:
::starts tidying up the sickbay::

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: I am not familiar with the silver blood. But I am wondering.. can the silver blood take a life of it's own?  Sort of like a changeling?  Or does it have to mold and conform to a genetic entity?

CMO_Naegle says:
::releases the hypospray and catalogs the blood sample::

Host Lt_Soria says:
Madred: Now just one second, Captain! You don't have the authority!

EO_Powers says:
CMO: am I a clone?

Host XO_Linard says:
::feels her suspicions grow:: Captain: Thank you....::heads to the back of the bridge to get a medkit::

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: It takes a life its own.  It's really fascinating stuff, as well as very dangerous.

CNS_Vekh says:
::makes his way to the Tactical station:: CTO: Mister Cha`Dak... ::whispers::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::turns around and clobbers Soria in the jaw as he yanks a phaser from his pocket and fires it at Mister Romanov::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances at the counselor::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::draws his own phaser and fires at Capt. Madred::

FCO_Romanov says:
::is knocked from his station unconscious as the phaser blast slams into his back::

CNS_Vekh says:
::observes Soria and Madred with the corner of his eye:: Self: Wonderful, not to crown it all, just need Mister Powers here...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Simultaneously, a vessel appears directly ahead of the Apache and directly behind the Apache. The one on long-range sensors ahead appears to be a shuttle, while the one behind appears to be a Federation starship on a pursuit course.

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: Well, I won't know for sure until I look at this under a microscope.  I was a little unhappy about the incident in the brig.

Host XO_Linard says:
::ducks from hearing phaser fire and grabs an empty hypo::

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: I am wondering about something, Lieutenant.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: What is that?

Host CPT_Madred says:
::runs towards Romanov’s body and grabs his hand, yanking him to his feet::

FCO_Romanov says:
::totally out of it::

CSO_Storal says:
Computer: Lock down Authorization Storal Theta 1-4-6

Host CPT_Madred says:
ACTION: As Captain Madred comes into contact with a Mister Romanov, the physical properties of Madred begin to change until the two look identical

EO_Powers says:
CMO: Can you check now?  I’m a little anxious.

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Fire at Madred! Heavy Stun, now!

CNS_Vekh says:
All: The clone!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::fires again at the clone::

Host XO_Linard says:
:: knows her suspicions have been confirmed::

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: I can. Sure.  Let me just go over to the microscope with your sample

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Of course, while firing at the clone, they manage to hit both the Clone AND Romanov.

FCO_Romanov says:
::body convulses with every shot::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks into the microscope:: EO: You will be happy to know that you are 100% human.

Host FCO_Romanov says:
::makes a dash for the Ready Room door, impervious to the phaser shots around him as the door shuts behind him::

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: It's probably totally off base here sir.. I mean, Lieutenant.  If Doctor Mruil had stolen the silver blood, and hit it somewhere where we can't find it... and then while in the brig, this silver blood killed Mruil and then turned into an object of the room, so no one will notice it is there.  After everyone leaves, it slithers out and escapes...

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: err . . .Trill!

Sonja_Davore says:
SO: and conforms himself as another member of the crew.

EO_Powers says:
CMO: I was getting worried then.

CNS_Vekh says:
::taps badge:: *Sickbay*: Medical emergency on the bridge! ::runs toward the real Romanov::

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Place a level 10 forcefield around the Ready room!! Make sure he doesn't get away!

Host Lt_Soria says:
ACTION: The vessel on an intercept course appears to be a Defiant Class vessel. They are hailing the Apache.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: I have initiated a lockdown.. he can’t access the computer systems.

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: You are free to go, Lieutenant. *CNS*: On my way, Commander.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, two vessels on sensors, one ahead of us, a shuttle, the other behind us on an intercept course...

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks over at her current supervisor, and waits for his judgment on that theory.::

MO_Sarel says:
::hears the medical emergency::

CNS_Vekh says:
::sees Romanov is okay for now, and replaces him in the FCO console tapping at if furiously::

Host XO_Linard says:
CSO: Good.....

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: The vessel on intercept is hailing us, sir.

SO_Hammond says:
Sonja: that's if it can change at will.  We haven't confirmed that it can at this time.

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Taking us to all stop, sir! ::works on the console::

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Open a channel....

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: It's a Defiant class ship.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::opens a channel with the Defiant class::

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs out of sickbay with a medkit, enters turbolift and barks:: TL: Bridge…

CNS_Vekh says:
*CMO*: We have a stunned officer here, the Mister Romanov

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Is the Ready Room secure Lieutenant?

EO_Powers says:
MO: I’ll go see what's happening

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps console:: XO: Aye, sir.

Host CPT_Madred says:
@COM: Apache: This is Captain Madred aboard the USS Heroic. What the heck do you think you're doing, Commander Linard?

CMO_Naegle says:
*CNS*: I'm enroute, Counselor.

Sonja_Davore says:
::barely hears the SO:: SO: Perhaps a plate of food in the brig or something, since it needs genetic materials to morph, so to speak.  ::Wakes up as she realizes the SO was talking:: SO: Oh. But I thought according to your research......  ::sees the look on his face:: Sorry.  I guess I'm jumping to conclusion here then.

EO_Powers says:
::heads for TL::

Host Lt_Soria says:
::gets to his feet groggily, shaking his head:: All: What happened....

Host XO_Linard says:
COM: Capt Madred: I'm trying to stop your clone from sabotaging the investigation sir....

CSO_Storal says:
Soria: I believe we have the clone

CNS_Vekh says:
XO: Shall I reverse our course, sir?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Apache comes to all stop, a bleeping from the Tactical Console indicates that the escape pod in the Captains' Ready Room has been activated.

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits turbolift and sees Romanov unconscious. CNS: What is going on here?

CEO_Yeung says:
::notices the warp engines disengage::

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: No, remain here...

CNS_Vekh says:
::brigs tractor beam online::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::helps the Lieutenant get to his feet:: Soria: Capt. Madred was the clone. He's in the Ready Room.
