Star Trek: Apache - Episode #15
Week # 2
Mission: "LARA"

Host Jafo says:
The USS Apache's away team, lead by Doctor Naegle and Captain Turnbull has beamed over the S.S. Rainbow's End. Upon arrival they found several decomposing Ferengi corpses but the search for survivors, as yet, has been in vain.

Host Jafo says:
Making their way to the bridge of the Rainbow's End, the Away Team has managed to activate a program, which was left running; a holographic interface which identifies herself as LARA.

Host Jafo says:
Meanwhile, aboard the Apache, magnetic eddies in the region have kept the Apache just inside transporter range. Shockwaves and gravimetric disturbances seem to be a localized phenomena and Chief Science Officer Storal believes a nearby dark matter asteroid may be responsible.

Host Jafo says:
The Rainbow's End, however, does not seem to be suffering from the safe disturbances and it is surmised that this may be because the freighter is drifting powerless in space.  The crew of the Apache has launched a series of science probes to study the phenomenon in greater detail.

@::watching the interrogation of LARA with more than a passing interest::

Host LARA says:
@::has changed into something a little less comfortable::

CMO_Naegle says:
@SO/EO: Have you found anything else yet, guys?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, ATF-67 Buoy Tender and Salvage vessel approaching.

EO_Powers says:
@::on Rainbow's End checking power supply::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: No recent reports Commander, shall I request team status?

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: OPS: Please do.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Aye.

SO_Hammond says:
@CMO: Not yet Doc, I'll let you know as soon as I do.

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Not yet, sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
@SO/EO: Thank you ... keep trying.

CNS_Lux says:
%::just walks about the vessel, surveying the crew and their work, and wishes that she was onboard the Apache right now doing something useful … anything instead of the boredom of waiting::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: CMO: Commander, what’s the status of the away team?

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM: OPS: This is Doctor Naegle, I'm beginning to question the hologram.

CNS_Lux says:
%::bumps into someone:: MO: Oh, excuse me.  Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.

CMO_Naegle says:
@LARA: What were you programmed for?  What is your purpose?

Host LARA says:
@::winks at Terman and waves a hand at him in mock shyness::

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Hail them, it must be our new crewmember.

SO_Hammond says:
@::tries bringing up the manifest for the ship::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye sir.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Sir, the doctor reports they are attempting to collect more information from the hologram onboard the Rainbows End.

CSO_Storal says:
::tries to see if the asteroid was a man-made object or a natural occurrence::

FCO_Terman says:
@::grins, knowing that the shyness is false::

CIV_Vernius says:
::squeezes the bridge of his nose to try and head off a building headache:: Computer: Execute a subspace magnetic anomaly scan.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: ATF 67: Federation Vessel, this is the USS Apache. We have you on sensors, please report once you have come alongside.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Commander, any new info on those eddies and what's causing it? I might be able to rig something up to counter them.

Host LARA says:
@::smiles coyly at Naegle:: CMO: I am LARA version 1.0 ... I am a Library Access and Retrieval Archive slated to replace LCARS 4.2 in the next generation of Federation Starship.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::LARA: Thank you.

ATF-67 OPS says:
%COM: Apache: Acknowledged.  We have Lieutenant Lux and Mister Veras who have been recently assigned to the Apache.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: ATF-67 drops from warp quite a distance from the dark matter anomaly and comes towards the Apache.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: How are you doing on the status of the dark matter asteroid, Commander?

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Nothing as of yet, Mister Yeung. I’m still getting interference from the asteroid. I’m trying to modify the probes to make the results clearer.

EO_Powers says:
@::sees power is fine but keeps an eye on it::

CMO_Naegle says:
@EO: Mister Powers, come here for a minute.

Host LARA says:
@CMO: Oh, you are very welcome Doctor Naegle.

FCO_Terman says:
@::hears that she's supposed to replace LCARS and wonders if she'll come dressed as she is::

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Sir?

MO_Veras says:
%CNS: That’s quite all right.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::thinks, I’m glad the CTO knows how to accept shuttles::

CNS_Lux says:
%::arrives on the bridge and takes a look at the viewing screen towards the anomaly::  Self: Well, I'll be … what is that?

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: You might want to caution them about the asteroid, Commander

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: All right, I'll see what I can do.

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Nothing new to report at this time. Still sifting through the data.

Host LARA says:
@::sees Powers coming and stands a little straighter:: CMO: Ohh ... he's a Trill! I just love symbiotic men. They're so ... sexy.

Host Computer says:
::beeps in the background:: CIV: Scan complete … results negative.

EO_Powers says:
@::moves over to the CMO::

SO_Hammond says:
@::sees it's just basic freight::

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Understood.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: The transport ATF-67 has dropped out of warp they are on an intercept course.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host LARA says:
@::moves closer to Powers and reaches out to touch his uniform ... smiles::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: ATF 67: Please be warned of a nearby anomaly. Come in at half impulse.

FCO_Terman says:
@::shakes his head, thinking that this is a good first mission::

ATF-67 FCO says:
%::carefully maneuvers around the anomaly and moves closer to the Apache::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: ATF-67 drops to 1/2 impulse and turns on their running lights and salvage beacons.

CSO_Storal says:
*CTO*: Mister Cha`Dak, see if you can see if the hull breeches on the Rainbow are directed inward or outward.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::whispering:: EO: Why would a library retrieval device need to be programmed as a naked woman? Even on a Ferengi run ship that's a bit much, don't you think?  Work on that, and maybe disabling some of her more ... suggestive dialog.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CTO: I got it, sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CIV*: Status, Mister Vernius?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins scanning the SS Rainbow’s End::

Host LARA says:
@::leans over a console towards Powers and props her face up in her hands:: EO: What's it like being a Trill? I bet you know so much stuff!

ATF-67 FCO says:
%::drops to one half impulse and looks up at the CNS::  CNS: I guess this is where we part, eh?

CMO_Naegle says:
@::clears throat:: LARA: I could ask you what it's like being a hologram?

SO_Hammond says:
@::searches through the sensor logs, trying to determine how long the ship has been here::

Host LARA says:
@::doesn't hear the CMO:: EO: ...and those spots, they make you look so rugged...

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Will do, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
%::looks down at him with a weird look:: ATF FCO: Umm, yes… ::thinks to self, thank goodness::

CSO_Storal says:
*CTO*: That way we can see if the ship was pulled apart.

FCO_Terman says:
@::walks over to the SO:: SO: Do you need any help?

EO_Powers says:
@LARA: Uh … thanks.

ATF-67 FCO says:
%COM: OPS: Acknowledged.  ::moves the ships closer together::

CEO_Yeung says:
::reinforces the shields::

Host LARA says:
@::giggles playfully and blushes at the EO::

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*:  I would suggest launching a warning buoy and notifying Starfleet to have vessels avoid this sector.

CNS_Lux says:
%ATF FCO: I guess I'll go get my stuff.  ::smiles and turns to leave quickly::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods at the EO and speaks loudly to LARA::LARA: I said, what’s it like being a hologram!?

ATF-67 OPS says:
%*MO*: OPS to Doctor Veras.

SO_Hammond says:
@::bites his lip, trying not to laugh at the EO::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: ATF-67 reports they are prepared to transport Mister Veras and Lieutenant Lux aboard.

SO_Hammond says:
FCO: No Mister Terman, not at the moment.

Host LARA says:
@::shrugs and keeps watching the EO:: CMO: Oh, it's okay ... I get to wear whatever I want. That's pretty cool.

CIV_Vernius says:
::Alan sighs and leans forward again to see if there is anything new in the scans::

MO_Veras says:
%::grabs his stuff and prepares to leave the ATF::

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Agreed, make the necessary preparations and launch one as soon as possible.

EO_Powers says:
@SO: It's not my fault I’m attractive.

FCO_Terman says:
@SO: Okay… ::sighs and looks for something to do::

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::energizes his console and locks onto Lux and Veras, beaming them aboard::

CMO_Naegle says:
@LARA: You know, I'll bet you have all kinds of data stored up inside you.  Would you mind sharing it?

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods to OPS:: OPS: Are they ready for transport, Mister Rakhmatullin?

FCO_Terman says:
@::cracks up at the EO's comment:: EO: She is so playing you.

CNS_Lux says:
::arrives on the Apache with one bag on her back and another in her hand::  MO: Well, I guess this is our new home.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*TRChief_Owen*: Let us know when we have them.

Host LARA says:
@::glances at the CMO and straightens up, remembering her role here:: CMO: Of course, Commander. What would you like to know?

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Commander, I have a question for you if you have a moment.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Should be transporting now, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
::prepares a warning buoy and launches it.:: *OPS*:  Notify Starfleet to have all shipping avoid this sector.

EO_Powers says:
@::gets to work on LARA's program and wonders why the Doctor wants it changed, thinks the CMO is jealous::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*MO/CNS*: Please report to Commander Linard, on the bridge.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::smiles at the new crewmembers:: *OPS*: They just arrived, sir. I'll send them up to the bridge.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Acknowledged...

CMO_Naegle says:
@LARA:  Well, do you know what happened to this vessel?

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: To bad you only attract holograms.  You should try real life sometime. ::smiles::

MO_Veras says:
::looks at CNS:: CNS: Guess so…

Host TRChief_Owen says:
MO/CNS: I think Commander Linard would like to see both of you on the bridge ... it's been pretty busy around here lately.

CNS_Lux says:
*CTO*: Right away, sir. ::looks over at the MO::  MO: No time to unpack.

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: I saw how you looked when she waved at you.

CSO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge:: *CIV*: Storal here, what's the question Lieutenant?

CNS_Lux says:
::dumps her stuff in a corner:: MO: I guess I'll pick that up later.

MO_Veras says:
::drops his stuff by the CNS's stuff ::

CNS_Lux says:
::follows the MO to the bridge and enters into the turbolift with him::  TL: Deck one.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Commander, what is the polar opposite of a magnetic field?

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: Commander, we have received them. They are on their way up.

FCO_Terman says:
@::defensively:: EO: That was just because I knew she was playing me!

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Nervous?  ::glances over at him in the turbolift::

EO_Powers says:
@SO: At least I’m attracting something!

Host XO_Linard says:
::smiles:: OPS: Thank you, Mister Rakhmatullin.

MO_Veras says:
CNS: We have arrived at a most interesting time,

Host LARA says:
@::chews on a fingernail:: CMO: Sort of. I mean, I know the facts of the event. ::eyes follow the EO around the room:: They had trouble with their engines and dropped out of warp. The magnetic eddies in the area caused them to drift here. Then they started transferring more and more power to the shields trying to ride out the gravimetric sheer.

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: It would depend on the frequency of the field itself.

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: Looked like you liked it.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: How is our lock holding with the Away team?

MO_Veras says:
CNS: Slightly… ::looks at CNS:: …you?

SO_Hammond says:
@::shakes his head:: Self: They both need a life.

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: So what, even if I did?

CNS_Lux says:
MO: A tad.  I tend to yammer a lot when I'm nervous. I hope I don't say anything stupid when I meet the Commander.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: I wasn't thinking in a specific sense, more of a general one. Kind of like matter is the opposite of Antimatter.  What can react to a magnetic field and leave little or no evidence behind?

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at the door as it slides open at deck one::

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Sorry…

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods, recording the information in her PADD:: LARA: So the eddies that the Apache is feeling now were felt by the Rainbow's End as well.  What happened to the crew?

CMO_Naegle says:
@::frowns at the EO::

MO_Veras says:
::extends his arm for the CNS:: CNS: You first…

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Here goes nothing!  ::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge, and bites back the urge to ask someone which person is Commander Linard::

Host LARA says:
@::sighs and looks a little depressed:: CMO: When they transferred warp power to the shields all hell broke loose. The ship broke up around us. ::looks at the skeleton on the bridge:: CMO: I think something was wrong with the crew before that, though.

MO_Veras says:
::gingerly steps out behind the CNS::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::gives the MO and CNS a cursory nod::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::prepares two combadges and a couple PADD’s for information to present to the new arrivals::

FCO_Terman says:
@::grins at the EO:: EO: Control yourself!

CMO_Naegle says:
@LARA: What do you mean?

CNS_Lux says:
::nods over at the Klingon at the Tactical station on her right:: CTO: Who do we report to?  ::looks at his pips:: Commander?

Host XO_Linard says:
::turns as she hears the turbolift doors open and smiles at the CNS and MO::

SO_Hammond says:
@::tries listening to LARA over the EO and FCO bickering::

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Well that’s the thing, with energy it’s all about the frequency.  There is no tangible opposite. If we emitted a power field the exact opposite of the asteroid. It would nullify the field.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::indicates the XO with a nod at Commander Linard:: CNS: Commander Linard is in command.

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: I just pressed the wrong button, anyone could have done it. The way you've been staring at LARA you probably would have done the same.

MO_Veras says:
::directs the CNS's attention to the XO, whispering:: CNS: The one in the hot seat!

Host LARA says:
@::shrugs:: CMO: They just didn't seem right ... sick all the time. The XO had been in his quarters for a long time. And the Captain had a bad cough. ::walks over to the Console the EO is working at and points at something:: CMO: The Ferengi didn't give me access to internal sensors, so I can't be more detailed. But something was wrong with them.

CNS_Lux says:
CTO: Thank you.  ::smiles:: I'm Lieutenant Ligeia Lux by the way.

Host XO_Linard says:
::makes her way to the MO and CNS:: MO/CNS: Welcome aboard ... I'm Commander Kathleen Linard. ::extends her hand to both of them::

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: But it would have to be concentrated at the asteroid.

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: Oh you... ::his face is beet red::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: LARA: Okay … thank you.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods as if this is inconsequential::

MO_Veras says:
::extends a furry paw::

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: I don't think that is a good idea ... we have no idea how a dark matter asteroid will react to something like that.  I would leave that as a last resort

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: ATF-67 signals to Apache that they are ready to begin salvage operations as soon as the away team has cleared the Rainbow's End.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods in acknowledgement to the MO and extends her hands and grips the XO's firmly and shakes it::  XO: Thank you, Commander.  I am Lieutenant Ligeia Lux, your new Counselor.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::presents combadges and PADD’s with current mission data to the Counselor and MO::

CMO_Naegle says:
@SO: Have you been able to access internal sensors?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, ATF-67 is ready to begin salvage once the away team has returned.

Host LARA says:
@::nods back at the CMO:: CMO: Sure Commander, anytime... ::since she is standing there anyway, begins to toy with a lock of Powers' hair idly::

SO_Hammond says:
@EO/FCO: You two save it for when we're back on the Apache.  Not one more word.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CNS: Pleased to meet you.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks over at the OPS Officer and smiles gratefully at him before taking the combadge and the mission orders:: OPS: Thank you.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps aside so that the MO can meet the boss too::

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Acknowledged. OPS: Ask the away team when they will be returning?

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Well we may have to destroy this asteroid anyway.  That is a last resort.

FCO_Terman says:
@::looks at Hammond:: SO: Aye sir.

EO_Powers says:
@SO: Well he started it.

SO_Hammond says:
@CMO: Not yet, sir.  I'll try now.  ::tries to access the internal sensors::

MO_Veras says:
:: shakes hands with the XO:: XO: Ensign Dustin Veras … Medical Officer. ::gives a light bow of the head::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
MO: Doctor, our Chief Medical Officer and Captain happen to be on the Away Team. I'm sure they would be pleased to get with you when they return.

CMO_Naegle says:
@SO: Thank you, Joseph.

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: Stop Whining!

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: Not one more word.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Have you run a simulation of firing a photon torpedo at the dark matter asteroid yet?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::continues to scan the Rainbow’s End, whilst monitoring long-range sensors::

EO_Powers says:
@::manages to tone down LARA's language a bit::

SO_Hammond says:
@::looks at the FCO:: FCO: I mean it, Ensign.

EO_Powers says:
@SO: …but...

CNS_Lux says:
::presses the combadge on the left side::  Self: Well that's it.  I've been branded now.

CMO_Naegle says:
@SO/EO/FCO: Is there a problem, gentlemen?

Host LARA says:
@::sighs depressedly:: EO: They were all right ... even for Ferengi. They always treated me pretty good. It's a shame what happened to them. And for someone to kick the skeleton of the Captain ... that's just disrespectful. I sure wish I could get my hands on the one who did that. ::continues toying with Powers' hair::

FCO_Terman says:
@CMO: No, not at all.

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Not at this time. A torpedo would be too messy, and risky. Phasers would be better.

Host XO_Linard says:
::shakes the MO's hand:: MO: Good to meet you too. Doctor Naegle is out of sickbay on the away team, but she should be returning shortly.

SO_Hammond says:
@CMO: Not now sir, but there will be if they continue.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Permission to speak freely, sir?

MO_Veras says:
:: locks to his combadge, then at the CNS :: Self: Branded?

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Go ahead.

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Just one. ::nods head towards the hologram::

CMO_Naegle says:
@EO/FCO: Gentlemen, I would prefer that you keep it on a professional level while we're on duty.

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Sir, the options to destroy the asteroid do not look good. I have run simulations on it. First with phasers...

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks at the MO:: MO: Ignore me.

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS/MO: We're getting ready to receive our away team, so if you both wouldn't mind taking your posts?

EO_Powers says:
@CMO: Yes sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Aboard the Rainbow's End tempers flare and the officers are having trouble acting like officers ... each struggle internally with their own irritations, but they don't know why. It doesn't strike any of them as odd at all, just irritating.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir.  Or you do prefer ma'am?

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: I've never had a preference. Since we're all used to "sir", that will do fine.  ::grins::

MO_Veras says:
::turns for the turbolift:: XO: Aye sir.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: CMO: Commander, what information has been obtained from the hologram?

FCO_Terman says:
@::scratches the back of his neck, hoping that he won't do anything foolish like punch Powers::

Host LARA says:
@::stands nearby listening to the Away Team talking to each other, feels left out and lets go of John's lock of hair::

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Then why didn’t you forward me your results, Lieutenant?

MO_Veras says:
Computer: Sickbay…

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles a small smile:: XO: Just wondering, sir.  Some do have a preference. ::looks around the bridge and finally seeing it for the first time::

SO_Hammond says:
@::is getting mad about the way the EO and FCO are acting but fights back his anger::

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: When I fired the ships phasers at the dark matter asteroid it had no effect on the asteroid. There was significant effect on the Apache however. While the Asteroid seemed to absorb all energy, it started a feedback loop in the phaser beam itself.  The computer predicted twenty hours of repairs and 5% causalities on the Apache.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Could you ask the doctor if it is possible for the hologram to be brought aboard the Apache?

CNS_Lux says:
::butterflies just fluttered a little faster in her tummy, but she ignores it, and glances down at the PADD with the mission briefing that OPS had given to her a little while ago::

CIV_Vernius says:
*CSO*: Worse still, phasers probably wouldn't have enough power to destroy an asteroid of that size in the first place.

EO_Powers says:
@::laughs to himself about how defensive the FCO was::

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM:OPS: They were caught in the same eddies as the Apache, and something was wrong with the crew before that as well.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CNS: Yes, that's true.

Host LARA says:
@::mutters, irritated at being left alone:: EO/FCO: You men are all alike! ::turns her back on them in a huff::

CMO_Naegle says:
COM:OPS: And tempers are flaring up over here too, so the sooner we can get out of here, the better.

MO_Veras says:
::looks to his own PADD as he awaits his arrival on the proper deck::

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: Why are you laughing?

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: I reiterated my query. If you ran the simulation then why didn’t you forward your results to me.

CNS_Lux says:
::afraid to say something inappropriate she nods and smiles at the XO and moves over to the counselor seat on the lower deck of the bridge::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: We might be able to transfer the data to one of the holodecks I suppose but how do you suppose we get the file from that computer? Not sure a program of that size will fit on a tricorder.

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: No reason.

SO_Hammond says:
@::starts looking through the internal sensor logs, looking for any anomalies::

FCO_Terman says:
@::doesn't believe a word that Powers said and lets it show::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::notes the FCO's demeanor::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Try the deflector, it shouldn't be a problem to bring her aboard that way.

MO_Veras says:
::arrives on deck 9 and watches the turbolift doors swish open, slowly walks down the corridor and enters sickbay::

EO_Powers says:
@::starts to get annoyed with the FCO and lets it show::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: We might be able to link our two deflector arrays to transfer it, but someone on the away team will need to activate the deflector over there as well.

CMO_Naegle says:
@EO/FCO: Gentlemen, stand down!  I will not have this on my away team!

Host LARA says:
@::sees she's still getting no attention from the FCO or EO and steps between them shoving them apart:: FCO/EO: Knock it off, you two!

CIV_Vernius1 says:
*CSO*: Sir, I am preparing my final report on the matter.  It will be on your desk in 43 minutes.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: If the team is ready to beam back, then by all means bring them back. I'm not sure they're going to find much more over there.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: I'll pass on the info.

FCO_Terman says:
@::takes the hit:: LARA: What was that for?

CSO_Storal says:
*CIV*: It should be here quicker. Storal out.

CNS_Lux says:
::reads the mission briefing and tries to get a sense of what has been transpiring::

Host LARA says:
@::glares at him:: FCO: For being a jerk! ::turns to the EO:: EO: And for being an insensitive jerk! ::storms out of the bridge, pouting::

CIV_Vernius says:
::sighs and continues working without complaint::

CMO_Naegle says:
@LARA: And you have given us all the information we need, so you can go back into your little pattern buffer for all I care!

MO_Veras says:
::sits down in the medical office and continues to read the PADD::

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: See what you've done now?

Host LARA says:
@::is stung by the CMO's words and starts crying as she runs off the bridge::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: CMO: We have an idea to get the hologram here in our core, we must link the two deflectors on the same frequency. Then with the deflectors bridged we could get the data we need.

EO_Powers says:
@::just looks at Terman shocked::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Try downloading the hologram to the holodeck first. I want to restrict access to the main core until we know what we're dealing with.

SO_Hammond says:
@::starts getting irritated over the lack of information found::

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM:OPS: Do it!

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: Me? All I did was laugh to myself.

FCO_Terman says:
@EO: Laughing to yourself? Come on, we both know that's not true. ::scratches his neck a little harder::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::sets up a temporary data storage area and secures it from the rest of the main core:: XO: Not a problem, we're ready to receive.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the CMO stands with the FCO and EO she notes that Terman has a rash on the back of his neck.

CNS_Lux says:
::jots down a few questions to ask later::

CMO_Naegle says:
@FCO: How long have you had that rash, Jordan?

CIV_Vernius says:
::continues his report::

EO_Powers says:
@FCO: You think I was laughing at you?

FCO_Terman says:
@::turns around:: CMO: What rash?

Host LARA says:
@::runs through the ship till she gets to her special place, opens the door and walks in, closing it behind her ... crying in the darkness::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Whenever you're ready...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CSO*: Commander, are we likely to be in danger from the dark matter asteroid once we wish to leave this system?

FCO_Terman says:
@::over his shoulder:: EO: Yes.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::touches the back of his neck:: FCO: This rash!

CSO_Storal says:
*CTO*: I would suggest not going to warp until we are out of the sector.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: CMO: Doctor, set the Rainbow End's deflector to 5.66 gigahertz and activate the array.

SO_Hammond says:
@::stands and turns towards the EO and FCO:: EO/FCO: Not one more word towards each other.  That's your final warning.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CSO*: What of the magnetic eddies we encountered on our arrival?

FCO_Terman says:
@CMO: Ow! ::realizes how hard he's been scratching:: It's ... it's nothing.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::sets the apache's deflector into receive mode::

CSO_Storal says:
*CTO*: That is because we entered inside the area of pull.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged.

EO_Powers says:
@::stands quietly in the corner::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at the other officers on the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
@FCO: It looks like an infected insect bite.  I'm not surprised with all the spiders and such, but I want to get you back to sickbay to find out.

SO_Hammond says:
@::over hears the communiqué and begins to set the dish for 5.66 gigahertz::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the SO scolds the FCO and EO he notes that Powers eyes are awfully bloodshot.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at the CNS, wondering what she's looking at::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*CSO*: Keep an eye on that asteroid! We are activating deflector control.

FCO_Terman says:
@CMO: It's probably just from me scratching, that’s all.

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM: OPS: I believe the away team is ready to beam over.  We've done all we can do here.

CSO_Storal says:
*OPS*: Your what?

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: Your eyes are bloodshot, have you been drinking on duty?

CNS_Lux says:
::meets the CTO's gaze with her bright blue eyes and grins, trying to be friendly, and then turns to observe someone else::

CMO_Naegle says:
@FCO: I know that, but I want you to get it treated.

CIV_Vernius says:
::punches a button and downloads his report to three PADD's::

Host XO_Linard says:
::takes her seat on the bridge:: CNS: I think you'll find your new office in good order. You should settle in there nicely.

CNS_Lux says:
::thinks, the best way to know someone is by observing them in action::

CIV_Vernius says:
::heads to the turbolift:: TL: Deck One, Bridge.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache moves into position and aligns the deflector dish with the Rainbow's End. The data transfer commences at the order of the OPS officer on the Apache and Lara's program falters and shuts down as she evaporates into the air of her special place.

FCO_Terman says:
@CMO: Okay doc, it's nothing though. Oh well.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks over at the XO as she speaks:: XO: That I don't doubt.  I read the report on Commander Vekh and how he handed that department while he was here.  ::smiles:: I just hope I can fill the shoes he left.

MO_Veras says:
::begins to look around the medical bay getting used to the arrangement of things, knowing that this is not his medical and that where everything is arranged to the CMO's taste: Self: I'll just have to get used to it...

EO_Powers says:
@SO: I have done no such thing!

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: I think we have what we need and the away team reports they are ready to return.

Host XO_Linard says:
::grins:: CNS: I have no doubt. He made good notes of those he was working with so it shouldn't be any trouble for you to pick up where he left off.

CMO_Naegle says:
@EO: Powers!  We'll deal with this back on the ship.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Powers stands to counter such an outrageous allegation by the SO, he loses his balance and tips backwards falling over the chair he was sitting in and landing on his backside.

CIV_Vernius says:
::the turbolift doors open and the bridge is revealed in all its glory::

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: OPS: Then bring them back.

FCO_Terman says:
@::stifles a laugh and grabs his neck, realizing just how much it stings::

SO_Hammond says:
@::stares at the EO for a moment trying to determine if he's lying or not::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*TRChief_Owen*: Bring the away team back as soon as you can.

EO_Powers says:
@::gets up with a sore backside:: All: Purely coincidental!

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: XO: It always helps to have good documentation.  I worked with this counselor once and boy oh boy ... I couldn't make heads or tails of her notes.  It was very confusing indeed.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: CMO: Prepare for transport.

CIV_Vernius says:
::walks down to the command level:: XO: Commander, I have my conclusions and would like to present my report...

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM: OPS: Acknowledged.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
*OPS*: Aye sir, locking on now... ::begins the power up sequence and frowns as his controls start bleeping:: *Bridge*: I'm having trouble locking on, Bridge...

FCO_Terman says:
::begins scratching his neck again, this time to try to ease the pain ... or at least numb it.

CMO_Naegle says:
@AT: Prepare for transport!

Host XO_Linard says:
::stands and greets the CIV:: CIV: Go ahead…

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: We are losing transporter lock on the away team.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Then take us to a closer range ... maybe that will help.

CIV_Vernius says:
XO: Sir, this could take a few minutes … might I suggest we head to the briefing room?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Transferring power from non-essential systems to transporters.

MO_Veras says:
::checks his console and notices the away team will be back soon :: Self: Here comes my superior.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*TRChief_Owen*: Can you get a skeletal lock Mister Owen?

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CIV: Yes, in a moment.

SO_Hammond says:
@::waits to be beamed back::

CIV_Vernius says:
XO: Thank you, sir.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::moves the apache closer to the wreck::

CNS_Lux says:
::almost jumps up at the troubled voice from Transporter Chief, but stays seated::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
*XO*: It's not the range; there is a foreign substance in the transporter beam.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: There is an alien substance in the buffer!

Host XO_Linard says:
*TRChief*: Can you isolate it?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::tries to isolate the problem:: *XO*: Transporters biofilters are having trouble screening it out ... some kind of toxin.

CNS_Lux says:
::knits her brows together as she listens::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*Owen*: Can you neutralize the matter?

SO_Hammond says:
@Self: How long is this going to take?

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: I suggest we erect a forcefield and get security and medical teams down there right away.

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM:OPS: Is there a problem?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::works on it:: *OPS*: I think so sir ... it's a pretty complex toxin. Seems to be foreign venom of some kind. ::increases the field depth and sensitivity of the biofilters:: *XO/OPS*: I think I have it. Do you want them sent directly to sickbay?

Host XO_Linard says:
COM: CMO: Doctor we're having trouble locking on to your signals. We're detecting toxins in your bloodstream.

FCO_Terman says:
@::impatiently:: Self: Hurry up, Owen... ::continues scratching, even though it doesn't help::

CIV_Vernius says:
XO: Sir, I suggest you isolate the Away Team from the rest of the crew.

CNS_Lux says:
XO: Perhaps we could transport them into a containment field in sickbay?  Or even the shuttle bay.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Erect a forcefield in sickbay, level 10.  See if you can transport them there.

CMO_Naegle says:
@COM: XO: That might explain a lot, Commander.  I want us all beamed directly to sickbay.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*MO*: Prepare sickbay, Ensign. The away team has brought back a toxin with them, and they're being beamed directly to sickbay.

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: I’m finished here, sir. I’m headed up to the bridge.

MO_Veras says:
*CTO*: Right away...

Host XO_Linard says:
COM: CMO: We're already on it doctor, standby.

Host XO_Linard says:
*MO*: We have incoming, Doctor. Be on alert. There are toxins in their bloodstream and I've confined sickbay to a level 10 forcefield.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The bio-filters of the Apache's transporter system screen out the foreign spider venom as the team is beamed over from the Rainbow's End to the Apache. The team materializes in sickbay, each with a splitting stomachache, and feeling extremely light-headed.

CIV_Vernius says:
::stands at attention watching the bridge crew respond to the emergency and nods to himself in satisfaction::

CSO_Storal says:
::gets up from the Stellar Cartography work station and heads to the bridge::

FCO_Terman says:
::stumbles and nearly falls the floor as he rematerializes::

SO_Hammond says:
@::thinks, a hangover without drinking is just not right … as he rubs his head::

MO_Veras says:
::walks over to the away team with a medical scanner:: Away Team: That worked well...  ::begins preparing an anti-venom for the away team::

CMO_Naegle says:
::moaning and stumbling as she materializes in Sickbay she sees the new MO:: MO: Welcome aboard, Doctor Veras!

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::breaths a big sigh of relief and leans on the console:: *Bridge*: We have them ... the away team is in sickbay.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*Shipwide*: All medical staff should report to sickbay. ::erects containment around sections of sickbay.

FCO_Terman says:
::groans, holding his stomach:: Self: Ugh…

EO_Powers says:
::lies down on a biobed::

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and walks onto  the bridge:: XO: Is the away team back?

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
*Owen*: Send all your buffer data to science right away, we need to know what was in the stream.

SO_Hammond says:
::sits on the floor, finding the coolness relaxing::

Host XO_Linard says:
::closes her eyes briefly in relief:: TR Chief Owen: Thank you, Mister Owen, nice work... ::nods to OPS:: OPS: Good job, Mister Rakhmatullin.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::quite happily begins a decontamination sequence in which plasma direct from the warp core will be used to clean the bio-filters of the transporter systems::

CSO_Storal says:
::walks over to Science One and activates the console::

MO_Karl says:
::gripping his stomach as part of the Away Team::  CMO: Doctor! Oh wow ... what happened?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::begins the upload to the science station:: *OPS*: Aye sir, doing it now...

MO_Veras says:
::just finishing up a mixture to slow the venom, puts it into a hypospray and hands two to the CMO after giving her a Hypospray:: CMO: You might like to help.

CIV_Vernius says:
::waits patiently for the XO::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::in his blurred vision sees a large team of people appear in sickbay and wonders what’s going on::

FCO_Terman says:
::heads over to a biobed but misses it as he goes to sit down and lands on the floor:: Self: Ow... ::winces in pain::

CMO_Naegle says:
::stumbles around trying to find out what the toxin was:: MO: I'm Doctor Naegle.

MO_Karl says:
::catches the FCO just before he flops on the floor::  MO_T’Eah: Nurse! 10 cc neutralizer, please.

Host XO_Linard says:
::turns to the CIV:: CIV: Now then Mister Vernius, join us in the briefing room please.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
XO: I have asked for the transporter buffer data and it is ready for medical and science to look over.  I think everything is secured.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Acknowledged. Set course for Starbase 366 and engage.

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes the hypospray:: MO: Thank you. ::goes over to the others and administers the hypospray::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks over at the XO::  XO: Permission to leave the bridge.

MO_Veras says:
::strides over to the FCO and gives him a shot of the anti-toxin :: Dr_Karl: This should slow it until we fin a better solution.

CIV_Vernius says:
::nods:: XO: Please, shall we grab the CSO? I spoke to him earlier.

CSO_Storal says:
CIV: I’m already here.

FCO_Terman says:
::crawls up onto the bed:: MO: Thanks … ugh.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Transfer the LARA program to holodeck 1.

MO_Karl says:
::nods:: MO: In the meantime, we should administer some kind of painkiller.

Host XO_Linard says:
::grins at the CIV thinking, leave the grabbing to me:: CIV: Yes, of course... CSO: Mister Storal?

MO_Veras says:
::helps the FCO up, then turns towards the others::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Doctor Veras begins to evaluate the Away Team he finds that each have what appear to be some sort of bug bites. Captain Turnbull, in particular, has  nasty welt on her inner wrist while Mister Terman has an infected bite on the back of his neck.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::pulls the apache away from the Rainbow’s End::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Aye sir?

CIV_Vernius says:
::nods at the XO::

Host XO_Linard says:
CSO: Join us in the briefing room, Commander?

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Aye.

Host XO_Linard says:
CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, you have the bridge.  ::grins::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Apache turns away from the Rainbow's End and ATF-67, the buoy tender locks a very intense tractor beam on the vessel and begins salvage operations.

Host XO_Linard says:
CNS: Granted Counselor...

CIV_Vernius says:
::follows the CSO and XO to the briefing room, and notes something ... different ... between them::

MO_Veras says:
Karl: Get on it... ::walks over to the captain and gives her a hypospray::

Host LARA says:
