Star Trek: Apache - Episode #22
Week #3
Mission: "The City of the End of Things"

Host Jafo says:
Encountering a drifting Cyanite vessel while en route to the Bajoran colony of Trevan, the crew of the Apache has brought it aboard to study it. Meanwhile, Captain Linard discovered why Jenia Prue ran away from home to be with Jaxlt Burta.

Host Jafo says:
With the Cyanite vessel on board, the Apache resumed its course to the colony. Upon arriving, a team was sent down to the surface to assess the situation. However, when they arrived, they discovered the colony mysteriously devoid of its inhabitants.

Host Jafo says:
Instead, they find the remains of a mechanical device, which they recognized to be the head of their EMMA. Now, the crew of the Apache must investigate to learn what happened to the colony, while also investigating the mysterious Cyanite vessel, whose appearance could be more than coincidental.

SO_Bern says:
::checks the console for the forcefield readings::

XO_Storal says:
@::scanning the council chamber for any anomalies::

CEO_Yeung says:
::on the bridge, beginning a scan of the surface and of the surrounding space::

Host CO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *Sickbay*: Bridge to Sickbay...

EO_Tana says:
::grips his engineering case handle, steeling himself until he can walk into the transporter room:: TRChief: Chief, do you have the coordinates for Commander Storal's team?

SO_Bern says:
::finds that the forcefield seems to be in operation ... puts his right hand on his hip and looks around the shuttlebay::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Scans of the surface show no signs of life inside or outside of the Trevan Colony. However, the surrounding mountain range contains large levels of magnesite ore, which make accurate scans of the mountainous region virtually impossible. There are no signs of ship travel in the region recently.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Sir, so far we are getting nothing.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
EO: Aye sir ... I’m inputting the coordinates now.  ::taps away at the console::

SO_Bern says:
::pauses and shrugs::  Self: Guess I'm just hearing things.  ::walks back over toward Cyanite capsule::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::wipes his thumb across the screen of his tricorder again to clear it some more then hands it up to Bern:: SO: Does this mean anything to you?

SO_Bern says:
::accepts the tricorder from Doctor Kerlan, and looks over the readings::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The hairs on the back of Doctor Naegle's neck stand on end and, briefly, she could swear she heard someone whispering in her ear.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: How is the analysis of the Cyanite vessel progressing?

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Understood Commander. What do you make of that head?

EO_Tana says:
::looks down at the robot and fastidiously tightens the tricorders seating in its holster:: Emma: Up on the pad, Emma. ::nods at the chief:: TRChief_Owen: Energize please...

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::nods and initiates transport::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::scoops out some of the fluid in the ship and sniffs it::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: They're still investigating, nothing unusual has been found yet.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::suddenly looks up from her tricorder:: All: Huh?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Tana dematerializes from the transporter pad and rematerializes in the same room as Storal and Naegle.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: I don’t know. I’m not going to touch it. I figure Mister Tana can do a more thorough analysis.

XO_Storal says:
@::turns to the CMO:: CMO: You found something Janet?

EO_Tana says:
@::finds himself looking at a blank wall and curses all bored transporter operators::

SO_Bern says:
::wipes some of the strange fluid off his hand, onto his uniform jacket::  Self:  Ugh.  ::looks back at the tricorder, scrolling down with his thumb::

EO_Tana says:
@::turns in the direction of the voices:: XO/CMO: Sirs? ::makes his way over, followed by Emma::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::shakes her head:: XO: No sir, did you just whisper in my ear?

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Mister Tana, the head is over here. ::points to the center of the room:: It is just the way we found it. CMO: I didn’t say a thing.

Host CO_Linard says:
*SO*: Mister Bern, this is the Captain. How are things progressing?

CIV_Kerlan says:
::wipes the goo off his hands and rests them on the cool metal hull::

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: I could have sworn someone just whispered in my ear.  It gave me the creeps.

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: Well ... quite honestly, Captain ... they're not, so far.  I can't say we've found anything new here.  ::hands the tricorder back to Kerlan::

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Sir, I'd like to have that mountain range checked out.  With those levels of magnesite we couldn’t get a clear reading. The colonists may be holed up there. EO: Is that your EMMA unit, Ensign?

EO_Tana says:
@::nods:: XO: I'll check it out, sir. Could you keep an eye on Emma, sir? I don't want her to touch the other head and blow up the universe, or something. ::makes his way over to the tarp::

SO_Bern says:
::looks at the Doctor:: Kerlan: Did you see something I didn't?

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Sure thing.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Captain, so far sensors haven't picked up anything out of the ordinary on the surface or in space.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: It seems to be a long way to trek there on foot. I could send some shuttles down to take a closer look.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Voices, are you sure? Maybe it’s the wind.

EO_Tana says:
@::crouches before it and gingerly uncovers it fully, pulling out his tricorder to scan it::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Thank you Mister Yeung, I had a feeling you might say that...

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: I think that’s the best bet. Janet and I can stay and continue to investigate the colony.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: XO: Positive Commander, and it didn't sound like the wind.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::shakes his head and then stands again:: SO: I'm afraid not, Lieutenant. ::huffs:: The most I could do right now is work up how they live in there. As for how they died ... I think we'll need a more detailed analysis.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at him thoughtfully:: CEO: Well I don't know about you but I'm at a loss ... I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

EO_Tana says:
@::moves a patch of wires out of the way and turns the head slightly to shine his light on one of the inner rings:: XO: Sir, could you come here?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache receives an incoming message from Starfleet Command.

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: We can go to sickbay, if you want.  They were going to take a look at the corpse, I think.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: I don’t know what to tell you Janet, could they be phased?

CEO_Yeung says:
::scratches the back of his neck:: CO: Well, if that really is Emma's head on the surface ... maybe time travel was involved? Or maybe an alternate universe?

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Excuse me for a moment… ::walks over to the EO:: EO: What is it Kavli?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: From a distance of several meters, EMMA watches dutifully as Tana examines the apparently duplicate disembodied head.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::favors Bern with a disapproving look:: SO: Honestly Lieutenant, must you use the term ‘corpse’? It's so morbid. I prefer artifact.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::thinks for a minute, then shakes her head in a way that let's the XO know that she doesn't know how to explain it:: XO: Of course, Commander.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Good idea Commander.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CO: Sir, there is an incoming message from Starfleet Command.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Let me know what you find out on that head.

Host CO_Linard says:
Rakhmatullin: On screen.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Will do sir, Storal out.

SO_Bern says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Kerlan: Sorry ... I'll remember that in the future.

EO_Tana says:
@::shifts the bundle of wires farther and points with his pinky finger:: XO: Sir, do you see those scratches? Four of them in a row, those were caused by a spanner forcing the ring into place. I made scratches just like that when I was building the one over there and testing the parts. If this one had been manufactured, those wouldn't be there.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::taps his console and the message appears on screen::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: I thought that too Commander, but all our evidence doesn't really support any of that...

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::grimacing from behind his desk at Starbase 366:: COM: Apache: CO: You'll never guess who I just finishing speaking to on subspace.

EO_Tana says:
@::sighs:: XO: Sir, as far as I can tell, this head is the same as the one over there.

SO_Bern says:
::blinks a few times::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the screen and nods:: COM: Gotoh: You're probably right, Captain. Who was it?

CIV_Kerlan says:
::smiles again and wipes gen hands again:: SO: Are you ready to go? Should one of your people cover this up or something?

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Are you positive?

SO_Bern says:
::walks over to the computer console, to deactivate the forcefield long enough for them to exit the shuttlebay:: Kerlan: I think an engineering team was showing up, sometime.  The forcefield will do until we get back.

EO_Tana says:
@ ::nods:: XO: As positive as I can be sir, without doing a full electron scan aboard the ship. Best guess is it's the same, though. ::lets the head go and avoids the dead eye::

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: In the meantime, see to sending out that squad to the mountain range. I'd take to finding anything right about now...

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::frowns:: COM: Apache: CO: The Daughter of the Second House, of course. Apparently her granddaughter contacted her, saying she was on Apache ... and was staying there? I'm wondering why I didn't hear about this from you, Captain.

XO_Storal says:
@All: If what you’re saying is true, the head has been here for years. I scanned the tarp and the area when we arrived. It hasn’t been tampered with or altered in quite some time.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to the Captain and pulls up a map of the surface::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::rubs his ridges and then nods, following him:: SO: To Sickbay then, I suppose.

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Can you access the memory core in the head?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Doctor Naegle gets the feeling of chills running up and down her spine again and hears someone talking behind her again.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: Gotoh: Well with everything that's been going on here Captain, it must have slipped my mind. I can forward you my report right now if you like.

SO_Bern says:
::programs the forcefield to encase the Cyanite pod, as opposed to the entire room::

SO_Bern says:
::walks out through the shuttlebays large double doors, into the corridor::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::mumbles:: COM: Apache: CO: That's hardly useful now, Captain. What I'd like to know is how you plan on returning Miss Prue to Betazed.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::gets a frightened look on her face:: All: Who's there!

EO_Tana says:
@ ::thinks for a moment:: XO: Yes sir, I can.. ::glances over at the CMO:: Is she all right?

XO_Storal says:
@::whirls around with phaser drawn after hearing the CMO:: CMO: Janet?

SO_Bern says:
::circles around the deck until he happens upon the nearest turbolift, and waits a few moments for it to arrive::

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Good, maybe we can see what happened to it.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: Gotoh: Well if I were to return her, it wouldn't be until we leave this system. But she's made it quite clear she has no intentions of going back. She wants to stay with her father.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::points to a ghost-like image:: XO: Right there!

CIV_Kerlan says:
::stops behind him:: SO: Do you think we'll encounter anymore of those vessels? Preferably ones with live subjects?

XO_Storal says:
@::looks in the direction that she is pointing:: CMO: I don’t see anything, Janet.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::moves and it disappears::

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::growls:: COM: Apache: CO: I don't care if that girl wants to remain with Daemon Glork himself, there's no way in heck you're going to keep her aboard the Apache. I thought I'd made the delicacy of this situation clear to you, Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::still shaking:: XO: I saw a shimmer of something, like a ghost, sir.  It's gone now.

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: I don't know. The sensors barely picked up the one we found, and from the damage to that one's power generator, I'd say the chances are slim. ::dodges several crewmen to enter the turbolift, as the doors swish open::

EO_Tana says:
@::looks nervously at Naegle and stutters:: XO: A-aye sir. ::takes his eyes away from her with some effort and puts down his repair kit, opening the snaps and laying it out on the ground next to the head before grabbing a couple of tools and a small black sarium-krellide battery similar to the one the intact EMMA carries::

XO_Storal says:
@::puts his phaser away:: CMO: Sounds like our first mission to rescue the USS Custer.

CEO_Yeung says:
::assembles the Marines to have them prepare to takes their fighters down to the surface to scan the mountain range::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: Gotoh: I know about the delicacy of this situation Captain, you needn't remind me.  But I can't force someone to do something against her own free will.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::seems oblivious to the other crew:: SO: That's really unacceptable, how am I supposed to get a complete behavioral study if they're not moving?

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::adjusts himself in his chair:: COM: Apache: CO: You realize that keeping this young woman onboard could fracture the Federation's ties with Betazed ... your homeworld? Are you willing to take that chance, Captain?

CMO_Naegle says:
@::thinks for a minute:: XO: Could the same thing be happening here?

EMMA says:
@::watches Doctor Naegle, somewhat confused by her statements of something sensors can't pick up::

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: I doubt it. We would have picked up the quantum residue on the tricorder. I could try the same procedure that we used to solve the phasing problem.

SO_Bern says:
Turbolift:  Sickbay.  Kerlan: I don't know... ::pauses a moment::  Have you ever encountered a live one?

CMO_Naegle says:
@ XO: You mean, using the transporters?

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: I mean finding the phased people using the tricorders.

EO_Tana says:
@::starts stripping the ends of the leads and splicing in fiber jumpers to connect to the battery:: XO: Sir, I'm not going to be able to get the data it has left without … umm.. ::searches for the word:: resurrecting the head.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::nods:: I did ... delightful creatures; very curious.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: XO: Ah yes, I understand.  It's been a long time, and I'm still shaking.  So how do we start again?

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Is it safe to take it back to the ship?

EO_Tana says:
@::doesn't connect the battery:: XO: I believe so, Commander. There's nothing explosive in the head so the transporters won't exclude it. ::looks over at the other Emma:: I'm not sure about other concerns, though.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods and lowers her voice solemnly:: COM: Gotoh: No one realizes that more than me, Kiichi, but this isn't a child we're dealing with. The girl is in her 40's and has stowed away on this ship to get away from her controlling grandmother.  I'm sorry, but there has to be something else we can do here...

SO_Bern says:
::exits the turbolift to the left, simply walking along and examining the door plates for the one marked "Sickbay"::

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: It’s quite simple actually; we modify the tricorders to emit a low yield tachyon beam in the gamma frequency. It worked with the Quantum Fissure Torpedo … but this situation is different.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
::frowns and leans forward:: COM: Apache: CO: Well Captain, luckily for the Federation it isn't your decision to make. You'll be hearing from the Federation Council on this matter... ::closes the channel::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::thinks about all the dead little xenopoda in the craft and has to stifle a sniffle:: SO: It's such a waste. ::wistfully:: Delightful creatures.

XO_Storal says:
@EO: Well you can leave EMMA here with us.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Right, because we don't know what's causing this.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Exactly, but it’s a start.

CEO_Yeung says:
::grimaces:: CO: It doesn't look good for Jenia...

Host CO_Linard says:
::rubs her forehead and closes her eyes as if she's dealing with a bad nightmare::

EO_Tana says:
@::visibly hesitates, but then nods:: XO: Aye sir. ::puts away the tools and locks back up his case, then stands, holding the head gingerly::

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Let's get to work reconfiguring the tricorders, then.

Host CO_Linard says:
::stands from her chair:: CEO: No it doesn't ... I think I may go and talk to her. There has to be some way around this.

SO_Bern says:
::comes across the Sickbay doors::  Self: Ah... ::enters the room, the Doctor in tow:: Kerlan: Well, let's hope we can find out what brought an end to this one, and where it came from.

XO_Storal says:
@EO: I understand your apprehension … but it’s for safety.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Bern and Doctor Kerlan enter through the doors of the main sickbay...

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CO: Oh, and Lieutenant Torsian's marines are in their fighters and ready to sweep down to the surface.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks back at him:: CEO: Is the team away?

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Very well then, I’ll talk you through it. I’ll make the same modifications on mine. ::talks the CMO thru the modification::

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: They're waiting for your clearance, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CEO: Good, let's hope they find something.

EO_Tana says:
@ XO: Yes sir. ::looks at his robot and then takes a deep breath, cradling the head in one arm to tap his combadge:: *TRChief*: One to beam up.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CEO: Tell them to go ahead, Commander.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::follows the XO's instructions for the modifications::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods and tells the marines they have clearance to depart::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
*EO*: Aye sir ... I'm having some trouble locking onto your signal. Some kind of strange interference is scattering the beam.

SO_Bern says:
::looks around, not immediately seeing any personnel, and pauses ... makes his way through the examination room, and towards the medical laboratory::

Host CO_Linard says:
::paces slightly and then heads for the turbolift:: CEO: You have the bridge Commander, I'll be in the lounge talking to Miss Prue.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::follows Bern, looking around the Sickbay as they head toward the lab:: SO: This is a very interesting ship. The last time I was here in your sickbay, they were digging two thousand Trill bee larvae out of your Ensign Tana. Very interesting.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: Aye Captain.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Marines Kaneda class fighters leave the shuttlebay and streak down towards the surface of the planet with their sensor suites attuned to Bajoran physiology.

XO_Storal says:
@::double-checks the CMO's tricorder:: CMO: There, that wasn’t so bad was it? ::chuckles:: Now lets see if it works.

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Let me know the second you find out anything.

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Will do, sir.

Host CO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 6…

CMO_Naegle says:
@::smiles:: XO: Nope, didn't hurt a bit!

XO_Storal says:
@::begins scanning the area with the modified tricorders::

EO_Tana says:
@::frowns, wondering if Owen is bored again:: *TRChief_Owen*: Can you compensate?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Transporter beam locks on to Kavli and begins to beam him up. It falters, and then locks on again. The Transporter Chief initiates a second beam to strengthen the signal and then completes the transporter as Kavli appears on the transporter pad.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: This may take awhile.  We may have to go thru the entire spectrum.

MO_Karl says:
::walks out of the lab and sees the SO:: SO: Can I help you?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
EO: Boy ... I didn't like that. We almost didn't get you back on that transport. ::shuts down the second beam:: EO: Some kind of weird interference ... not sure what's causing it, I should probably contact the bridge.

SO_Bern says:
::stops and looks at Doctor Kerlan, head tilted to the side:: Kerlan: Bee larvae...? ::shakes his head:: Never mind, I don't want to know.

Host CO_Linard says:
::feels the lift pause as she exits and heads for the Lounge::

EO_Tana says:
::feels like he's itching all over and looks down at the head:: Owen: You ... yes, do that Chief. Inform Commander Yeung.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::smiles, wrinkling gen ridges, speaking conspiratorially:: SO: I've still got them in a stasis jar in my quarters. If you're not busy later I'll let you see them.

XO_Storal says:
@::looks down at the tricorders display:: CMO: I have something, but it’s really hazy. There is something here though.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::looks at the modified tricorder:: XO: I'm reading something, but it's not entirely clear what.

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::mutters:: EO: You're one lucky son of a gun... ::goes back to his work::

Host CO_Linard says:
::heads for the lounge doors expecting to butt into them head first again::

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: Maybe I'll take you up on that... ::turns away at the sound of another voice, mumbling under his breath::

EO_Tana says:
::takes a deep breath and steps off the pad:: Self: Every time ... every $&@* time I get on a transporter something happens.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Good, I don’t think it’s an echo then. Okay, go one frequency higher and start your scan again. It may clear things up. I’ll keep locked on whatever we have here.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::stands behind Bern, speaking before the other man can:: Karl: We're here to see your corpses.

SO_Bern says:
Karl: Hello Doctor Karl…

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye sir!

Host CO_Linard says:
:;enters Fort Apache and looks around for Jax or Jenia, expecting to see him cleaning a few tables but finds no one home::

SO_Bern says:
::looks at Karl, with a corrective tone:: Karl: Relics, rather. ::glances to Kerlan, with a small smile:: Of the Cyanite variety.

EO_Tana says:
::is relieved when the itching feeling starts to ebb and steps into the turbolift:: TL: Engineering... ::hears the beep and feels the lift start to descend::

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Sir, I modified the tricorders and we found something. The reading is hazy, but there is definitely something here.

MO_Karl says:
SO/Kerlan: Ah yes, the specimens.  Come on into the lab, gentlemen.  The lab technicians are working feverishly to identify the remains.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
ACTION: As the Executive Officer and the Chief Medical Officer change to a higher frequency the field of their scan fluctuates and briefly becomes a panorama of blues, reds, and yellows ... along with grays and browns washing around them. It's like looking at a picture through the bottom of a coke bottle, and only vague shapes and colors are seen.

SO_Bern says:
::follows Doctor Karl into the lab area::

CIV_Kerlan says:
Karl: Have you identified a cause of death as yet? ::steps around Bern and starts to nose into their readings::

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Either we are having a bad reaction to the inoculations or we have something here.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Good Work, Commander. Any speculations?

SO_Bern says:
::barely dodges the over eager Kerlan, and sighs quietly under his breath::

MO_Karl says:
Kerlan: No sir, we haven't.  And I will thank you to leave my work alone.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks around looking for Jenia and Jax:: Aloud: Hello…?

SO_Bern says:
::stands out of the way, folding his arms in front of him and merely observing::

EO_Tana says:
::steps out of the turbolift and turns the corner, heading toward Engineering's blast doors:: *CEO*: Ensign Tana to Commander Yeung.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
ACTION: EMMA looks on to the images coming from the tricorder scans and records the images on its sophisticated sensor suite.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Well sir, something is phased down here. But I can’t tell what or how. ::pans around the room with the tricorder::  Whatever it is ... it’s all around us.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Yeung here, did you just get back Ensign?

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Agreed, and it doesn't matter where you swing the tricorders, we get the same image. ::sweeps the tricorder side to side::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Phased? You mean out of the space/time continuum?

CIV_Kerlan says:
::straightens, raising an eyebrow coquettishly:: Karl: Excuse me.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: That’s just it sir, I can’t tell.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: I have an idea Janet; scan for biosigns. See if you can identify the shapes.

EO_Tana says:
::walks into Engineering, feeling at home:: *CEO*: Just barely sir, I think you should check the transporter records of the last beam up from Unit 4 on Deck 8.

MO_Karl says:
Kerlan: We have some very delicate experiments going on here.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Aye sir.  ::begins scanning for biosigns::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks around the empty Bar:: Aloud: Hello? Mister Burta? Jenia?

CEO_Yeung says:
::brings up the transporter logs to his screen:: *EO*: What happened, Tana?

CIV_Kerlan says:
::looks at Bern:: SO: I thought this was *our* investigation, Lieutenant. My award-earning exobiology skills and your ... recognition of Starfleet protocols?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At the same time that Tana makes his report, the report from Chief Owen shows up at Commander Yeung's station.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Well, at least we're getting somewhere now. Try focusing your scans to one specific location, see if you can narrow down what it might be.

EO_Tana says:
::always feels odd talking on the fly but is used to multitasking:: CEO: Chief Owen had some trouble beaming me up. I got the impression it wasn't exactly safe.

CEO_Yeung says:
::takes a quick read of Owen's report:: Self: Some sort of interference?

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Acknowledged, I’m having Janet try to identify these ghosts as it were.

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: I'm reading here that Chief Owens encountered some kind of interference during the transport. How are you feeling?

CMO_Naegle says:
::hears the message from the Captain:: XO: I'll do it, sir.  ::begins scanning a specific area::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the clean bar and spotless room:: COM: XO: Excellent, let me know what you find.

SO_Bern says:
::shifts his weight from one foot to the other::  Kerlan:  My recognition of Starfleet protocols tells me that autopsies aren't our field, Doctor.  I think maybe you should just let the medical personnel work.  I'm sure if they needed our help, they would have asked.

Host CO_Linard says:
Computer: Computer, locate Jaxlt Burta.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Naegle conducts the intensive scan of just one area the image suddenly lunges at her and she feels the cold rush of water passing over her skin and then she suddenly blinks out of existence from where the Executive Officer is standing.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Good, if we can identify these things … then we can determine the cause.

Host Computer says:
CO: Jaxlt Burta is not on board the Apache.

MO_Karl says:
SO: A bit of professional jealousy, perhaps?

XO_Storal says:
@::looks around:: CMO: Janet?

Host CO_Linard says:
Computer: What?

EO_Tana says:
::takes a left and walks into one of the engineering labs:: *CEO*: I'm feeling okay sir, just a little shaken up.

SO_Bern says:
::looks to Doctor Karl, wondering whether the medical lab is big enough to contain the egos of the two Doctors::

Host Computer says:
CO: Please restate your request.

CIV_Kerlan says:
::huffs but says nothing::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::feels herself phasing out:: All: What the...?

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Head over to Sickbay Ensign, and get checked out. We want to make sure your molecules didn't get all mixed up.

XO_Storal says:
@::taps his combadge::*CMO*: Storal to Naegle, respond.

Host CO_Linard says:
::extremely surprised:: Computer: Never mind, Computer. Is there any record of him leaving the ship?

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Sir we have a problem, during our scans of the area … Doctor Naegle vanished.

Host CO_Linard says:
::rolls her eyes and thinks aloud again:: COM: XO: Good heavens, another one. Vanished? To where?

Host Computer says:
CO: Negative.

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a new scan of the planet, looking for any kind of field that could interfere with the transporter::

EO_Tana says:
::finger resting on the power button for the tunneling sensor:: *CEO*: Is that really necessary, Commander? I feel fine ... and Commander Storal wanted me to check out the thing they found on the surface.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: I don’t know sir … wait, another one?

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Can't take the risk, Tana. Have Belron take over for you for the moment, that’s an order.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Never mind, Commander ... where did Doctor Naegle go?

SO_Bern says:
Karl: I think maybe Doctor Kerlan is just extremely curious.  ::looks toward Kerlan, now::  He is, after all, a leading authority on the Cyanite race.

CEO_Yeung says:
::reads the scan's report of a growing interference from the planet::

EO_Tana says:
::sighs, keeping it low so Yeung won't hear:: *CEO*: Aye sir. ::backs away from the head and leaves the lab, finding Belron and giving him a quick update on the assignment::

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Unknown sir, she was concentrating her scans. Then she just vanished.

CEO_Yeung says:
::goes over to the science console and runs a more detailed scan and analysis of the interference::

SO_Bern says:
::grins inwardly, hoping that patches things up, at least for the time being::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::smiles smugly with a twinkle in gen eye:: Karl/SO: I'd be happy to provide what meager help I can.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: I’m contemplating repeating her steps.

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: She couldn't have just vanished, Commander. Find out where she went...

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Captain, we're experiencing a growing interference from the planet with the transporters. It may become unsafe to use the transporters with this interference.

Host OPS_Vlynn says:
@::hurries over to the CMO's side:: CMO: Doctor Naegle, thank goodness you're all right ... we've been worried sick. ::waves over a Medical Officer as a crowd of Trevan locals in their gray and brown garments begin to circle around::

Host CO_Linard says:
::heads out of the Fort and back to the turbolift:: CEO: What kind of interference? Is it because of the mountains on the surface?

EO_Belron says:
::listens to Tana closely and takes over for him with the assignment::

EO_Tana says:
::finds himself worrying about the other Emma as he makes his way back to the lifts but stays his hand with the knowledge that Commander Storal would have called him if there was anything wrong with Emma::

Host MO_Constead says:
@::hurries up to the Doctor Naegle and pulls out a medical tricorder, scanning her up and down:: CMO: Don't worry, Doctor ... you seem to be okay.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Acknowledged sir, I’ll try the concentrated scans then.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: We're analyzing it now, sir. Ensign Tana said he felt slightly strange. I sent him over to sickbay to get checked out.

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Oh and by the way Commander, get Captain Gotoh on a channel for me. We've got another problem on our hands...

CMO_Naegle says:
@Constead: What happened?

CEO_Yeung says:
::thinks to himself 'oh boy':: *CO*: Aye Captain.

Host MO_Constead says:
@CMO: Don't worry ... so far its come back to everyone; it just takes a little time. ::injects the CMO's neck with a hypospray::

XO_Storal says:
@Self: Here we go… ::concentrates his tricorder scans in one area to try and clear the image::

CEO_Yeung says:
Rakhmatullin: Open a channel to Captain Gotoh on Starbase 366.

EO_Tana says:
::steps into the turbolift:: TL: Sickbay. ::mutters and then folds his hands before him, rubbing his left forearm slightly where the itch has lingered::

Host CO_Linard says:
:;enters the turbolift and heads for the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
@ Constead: Okay, I'll take your word for it.

Host CO_Gotoh says:
ACTION: As Doctor Naegle looks around she finds herself in the same conference room she left except now all around her are Starfleet Officer's and Trevan locals who are surrounding her trying to get a look at the latest recovered person.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::nods to Yeung and opens the channel::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Commander Storal concentrates his scans on a single location the image again lunges out at him and grabs onto him. He feels the coolness of water wash over him and then suddenly the pictures comes into perfect focus and he finds himself again standing next to Doctor Naegle ... leaving EMMA behind.

Host CO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and onto the bridge taking her seat::

EMMA says:
@::narrows her iris, looking at the spot where Storal disappeared::

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CEO: Sir ... this is odd ... I'm getting some kind of weird static. Starbase 366 isn't responding to hails.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Commander!

XO_Storal says:
@Aloud: What?! ::as the room focuses he calms himself and looks around::

EO_Tana says:
::steps out of the lift and consciously rubs his forearm as he steps into Sickbay and calls out:: Sickbay: Hello?

Host STOPS_Sevastas says:
@XO: Commander Storal! ::hurries up to the Bajoran:: XO: Thank goodness, we thought you'd been lost for good.

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Rakhmatullin: Is it an instrument failure? Or are we being blocked?

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Where are we Janet?

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks back at OPS:: Rakhmatullin: Keep trying, Lieutenant.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Still on the Trevan Colony, as far as I can tell.

OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
CEO: I don't think it's either, Commander ... they're just not there.

XO_Storal says:
@STOPS: Lost me?

MO_Karl says:
EO: Hello yourself, what can I do for you?

Host MO_Lorat says:
@XO/CMO: I bet you two didn't even notice I'd disappeared, did you? ::walks up and injects Storal with the same hypo that Constead injected into Naegle::

Host CO_Linard says:
::overhears OPS and looks to the CEO:: CEO: Commander, scan the surface again for life forms.

EMMA says:
@::runs through her list of options and decides against a distress signal, so goes back to waiting patiently::

SCI_Stillman says:
CO/CEO: Sir, the away team ... we've lost track of both of them now!

CMO_Naegle says:
@::shakes her head at her nurse::

XO_Storal says:
@::jumps as he is injected with something:: All: What was in that hypospray?

Host STOPS_Sevastas says:
@XO: Yes ... you were one of the first to disappear. And when you didn't return, well we all thought we'd lost you for good sir. I'm happy to say I won a hefty pot in the betting pool now that you’re back.

SO_Bern says:
::turns around from observing the medical staff's work, to see Ensign Tana::

Host MO_Lorat says:
@XO: Just a sedative ... don't worry.

EO_Tana says:
::looks reluctant as always:: Karl: Commander Yeung ordered me to come in for a checkup. I had some problems with the transporter … again. ::looks at the other two people in the room::

CIV_Kerlan says:
::turns at the voice and smiles, still smiling as he looks over at Bern:: SO: There he is, Bee Boy. I wonder if he'd let me interview him about what it felt like.

SCI_Stillman says:
CO: Our scans aren't picking them up on the surface.

XO_Storal says:
@Sevastas: Disappear? We were on the surface of the colony.

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan:  Now's as good a time as any.  ::nods matter-of-factly::

MO_Karl says:
EO: All right then.  Park yourself on that Biobed.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Both Naegle and Storal feel themselves beginning to get drowsy ... the last thing either hears is Sevastas mentioning something about the Cyanites and the end of the Federation.

Host Jafo says:
