CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: takes the samples she has to sickbay, still in her enviro suit ::

XO_Naegle says:
::gets up from her chair and starts for the turbolift::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::on the bridge, seated at the helm::

Sec Abbott says:
::sneezes::

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: Mr. Ilianor, you have the Con. I'll be in sickbay.

OPS_Richardson says:
::at OPS working on power conservation program::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: turns to D`Layna :: Abbott:  You feeling OK?

FCO_Ilianor says:
XO: Um... ::looks at Cmdr. Naegle for a moment:: Aye, ma'am.

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: Something wrong, Lieutenant?

Sec Abbott says:
::sniffles:: CTO: I believe so...

Action: Elove Naroma strides onto the bridge.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::smiles weakly:: XO: Oh, certainly not, ma'am. ::stands and moves towards the center seat:: Be careful, ma'am.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: notices that D`Layna took off her helmet :: Abbott: D`Layna!  Why did you do that before we went through decotamination?

Elove Naroma says:
XO: So THIS is where your bridge is... ::looks around smiling widely::

XO_Naegle says:
::Sees Elove:: Elove: Have you been cleared to leave Sickbay, Mr. Naroma?

OPS_Richardson says:
::doesn't look up::

Sec Abbott says:
::freezes as she realizes what she has done:: CTO: My apologies Sir...

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: You're going to sickbay, now.  I need you healthy. :: smiles to take the sting out of her words :: Come on.

Elove Naroma says:
XO: Cleared? Oh, the doctor took a sample from me... I assume that's all he needed me for... ::looks around and sighs::.. what a fascinating place you work in....

Sec Abbott says:
CTO: Yes, sir....

OPS_Richardson says:
::gets up to go to a side station::

Action: A comm bleeps at OPS station....

XO_Naegle says:
::sighs:: Elove: Mr. Naroma, you were in sickbay in quarantine.  I need you to go back there now.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: heads to sickbay with Abbott and the samples ::

OPS_Richardson says:
::goes back to OPS to answer comm::

XO_Naegle says:
::grabs his arm to lead him to Sickbay::

OPS_Richardson says:
::answers::

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: We have a message from the planet.

Elove Naroma says:
::smiles widely down at the XO:: XO: Well if you are going to take me back personally... then how can I refuse...?? ::strokes her arm::

XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Put it on Screen,

Citene says:
COM: Apache: Hello? Is this thing on?

OPS_Richardson says:
::puts it on screen::

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: Shall I get security to escort him to sickbay?

Action: A young boy of no more than 16 is looking at the screen curiously.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: walks to the doors outside sickbay ::

XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Please do. I can't do everything at once.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: Boy: This is the USS Apache, I'm Commander Naegle, can I help you?

Elove Naroma says:
::looks up at the screen:: Citene: What are you doing using the communications array? It is not for slaves to use! Turn it off at once!

OPS_Richardson says:
::contacts security and tells them their orders::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::frowns as he watches the disorder on screen::

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: Do you know this boy?

Sec Abbott says:
CTO: I was foolish Sir... I do not know how I could have not thought of such consequences

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks up slightly as he hears the word slave::

Action: The young boy cowers and hurriedly turns off the comm....

OPS_Richardson says:
*CTO*: We need an escort to the bridge immediatly.

FCO_Ilianor says:
Elove: Did... you just say he was a slave??

XO_Naegle says:
::looks at Elove::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: No use crying over spilt blood wine...........

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: We just have to deal with it now. It's happened to me before.

Elove Naroma says:
::looks around as everyone is looking at him... smiles his handsome smile once more:: FCO/XO: He is... a part of our society, but they live on the outskirts of our... establishment... they... help us with menial tasks in reward for food and a roof over their heads....

FCO_Ilianor says:
::stands up:: Elove: That's... abominable! ::for a moment, unaware of his place, and his mouth is agape, as he is disgusted by what he's hearing::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sits back down:: XO: I'm sorry, commander...

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: To your station Lieutenant.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*OPS*:  I'll get someone right one it.

OPS_Richardson says:
*TO*:I want an escort to the bridge yesterday!

Elove Naroma says:
::smiles warmly at the FCO:: FCO: I assure you, he is not harmed... his people would not have such things if we did not provide them....

Action: A security detail enters the bridge...

XO_Naegle says:
Elove: While we don't necessarily agree with your customs, it's not our place to judge. Mr. Ilianor just got a bit carried away.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*OPS*: Hold your horses. They should be there now.

OPS_Richardson says:
SEC: Take him to sickbay ::points at Elove::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::grunts softly to himself in disgust, as he pushes his chair back closer towards the helm::

Elove Naroma says:
::looks at the Security officer:: XO: I thought you were taking me Commander?... ::strokes her arm::... I would much rather you....

XO_Naegle says:
::rolls her eyes:: Elove: The security officers will do a good job, I assure you.

OPS_Richardson says:
SEC: Drag him off this bridge now! He needs to be in quarantine. Make sure he stays there.

Sec Abbott says:
::wipes sweat from her brow::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: drops off the samples and makes Abbott and heads for decontamination :: Abbott: I'll check on you shortly D`Layna. You get better now, you hear?

Elove Naroma says:
::looks at her fondly and shakes her head and touches her cheek:: XO: Shame... I'm sure you would have too....

XO_Naegle says:
::removes his hand from her cheek:: SEC: Take him down there now, I'll be there shortly.

OPS_Richardson says:
::grabs Elove::

Action: A male nurse takes the samples and looks at Abbott...

Sec Officer says:
OPS: We will gladly take him off the bridge. The CTO has requested we take him back to sickbay. Not drag him.

XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Doctor Karl, did you release Mr. Naroma from Sickbay?

Male Nurse says:
Abbott: Are you okay?

OPS_Richardson says:
SEC:Just get him out of my sight.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::waits until Elove is taken into the turbolift; before looking up again at the commander:: XO: Commander...

Sec Officer says:
XO: Aye Sir. :: takes Elove by his arm and escorts him to sickbay ::

Sec Abbott says:
::growls at the male nurse as a seductive smile comes to her face:: Nurse: I am fine.... just fine... ::takes a step toward him::

Action: Elove goes with security to sickbay

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: Yes, Lieutenant?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::sighs:: XO: Nevermind, ma'am. ::turns back to face his console::

Dr. Karl says:
*XO*: Not exactly.... well no....

XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Well a security detail is bringing him back to you from the bridge.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: gets decontaminated and shucks her biosuit ::

Action: Abbott grabs the male nurse and backhands him across the cheek... letting out a snarl as she grins down at him

XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Would you mind telling me what that was all about, Mr. Richardson.

Dr. Karl says:
*XO*: Lovely... now he's going to hit on my nurse again.... ::whirls as he hears someone else hitting someone else::

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: I ...was irratated at him.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::turns back again to face the XO:: XO: That boy... that young child... not much younger than me. Slavery??

XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Well, that's no excuse for ordering the Tactical department around.

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: Like I told Elove, it's not our place to judge.

Sec Abbott says:
::pounces on the male nurse and kisses him deeply as she tears at his clothes::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: once decontaminated, leaves and heads for the bridge ::

Dr. Karl says:
*CTO*: Security to sickbay!!!

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: I think I must work on the Klingon anger. It sometimes takes over me.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*Karl*: On my way!!!!

FCO_Ilianor says:
XO: Well. Then I suppose we should be glad we weren't born into this culture.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO* Sir, we have a situation in sickbay!

XO_Naegle says:
::nods:: OPS: See that you do.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: runs towards sickbay just down te hall and enters ::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO:*: What kind of a "situation," Lieutenant?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*  If I read matters correctly, I've left Lt Abbott in sickbay and she was ill.  I assume she is fighting treatment.

Host XO_Naegle says:
OPS: See if you can raise that boy on the planet again.

OPS_Richardson says:
::tries to reopen communications with the boy::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: Can you calm her?

FCO_Ilianor says:
Thinks: Slaves aren't allowed to use the comm system... they'll probably torture him if he uses it again...

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: I will do my best Sir.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: enters sickbay and sees D`Layna on one of the male nurses :: Abbott: Lt Abbott, at attention right now Mister!!!!

Action: Elove walks in with the security detail and notices the girl sitting on the biobed... he looks her up and down and walks away from her....

Host XO_Naegle says:
OPS: That's all I ask.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: I am certainly going to try Sir.

Sec Abbott says:
::ignores the CTO and continues her sexual advances on the male nurse::

FCO_Ilianor says:
Self: And to think I found him...

FCO_Ilianor says:
::scoffs before he could finish the thought::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: I believe you will succeed.

OPS_Richardson says:
COMM: Citene: Are you still there? We would like to talk to you.

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: I'd sedate her... but I won't be able to get her out of that suit....

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: walks over and grabs D`Layna by the shoulder, said in Klingon:: Abbott: It is not honorable to make advances on a species not able to handle them.

OPS_Richardson says:
COMM: Citene: It's ok now.

Action: Abbott rips off her EVA suit and throws it on top of the CTO....

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: I hate to do this, but.... :: hits D`Layna square in the jaw ::

Sec Abbott says:
::still snarling as it barely phases her:: CTO: You challenge me for him! I accept! ::swings at the CTO::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Did Mr. Naroma arrive safely, and what else is going on down there?

Citene says:
COMM: OPS: Is.... is he gone??

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: gets rid of the suit, ducks and moves into a crouch :: Abbott: I don't want to fight D`Layna, I just want you to calm down.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::frowns as he hears the timid voice over the comm::

Dr. Karl says:
*XO*: Uhh... yeah.... he's here.. I thought he'd be talking with that girl we brought up from the surface... but he doesn't seem to be too hospitable with her...

Sec Abbott says:
CTO: You can't have him! I saw him first!

OPS_Richardson says:
COMM: Citene: Yes.

Action: The boy appears on the screen again... looking a little less timid....

Host XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: He probably knows who she is. But it's a very delicate situation.

OPS_Richardson says:
XO:Yes! I got him ::puts him on the viewer::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Abbott: You can't have him either, he is not interested in mating. Karl: If you can sedate her, it would be a good idea.

Host XO_Naegle says:
COM: Boy: Hello, my name is Commander Naegle.  What is yours?

Action: The CTO gets the urge to sneeze.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: wiggles her nose but keeps her eyes on D'Layna ::

Dr. Karl says:
::readies a hypo strong enough to bring down three Klingons:: CTO: I'll try.... you keep her busy....

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Self: Just great.....I go through decon and I still get it.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl: What do you think I'm doing???  Playing monopoly with her???

Citene says:
COMM: XO: Citene... I ... I was looking for my sister.... I saw two people in funny clothes come and take her.... do you know where she is?

Host XO_Naegle says:
COMM: Citene: Yes, I know where she is.  She is here with us.

Dr. Karl says:
::sneaks up behind Abbott and shoves a hypo to her neck and watches as she collapses to the floor::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: breathes a sigh of relief :: Karl:  I sure didn't want to have to take her down.  Actually, she might have taken me down.  :: looks at D`Layna ::

Citene says:
COM: XO: She is? Can I see her?

Host XO_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: COMM: Citene: She is ill. She is being attended to by our physician.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: look up at Karl :: Let's get her to a bed and keep her sedated for now. She is infected and I'm pretty sure that I am too.

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: Then you better stay here....

Host XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: What is the condition of the native girl you have down there, Doctor?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: Sir, I have resrticted myself to and Abbott to sickbay. I believe we have been infected.

Dr. Karl says:
*XO*: Native girl? You mean Frona? Oh she's fine... I was about to release her actually....

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: nods at Karl ::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: Understood Lieutenant.

Host XO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Do so.  Have someone bring her to the bridge.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl:  She may be a carrier.

Host XO_Naegle says:
COMM: Citene: Your sister will be brought where you can see and talk to her in matter of minutes, Citene.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl:  She could infect the entire bridge crew.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
:: sneezes :: Self:  Oh no.

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: I can't see that... she hasn't infected anyone here... ::sneezes::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl:  Abbot and I went to the surface, and now your sneezing too.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: Sir, I don't think it wise to bring the girl to the bridge.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: And my I ask why she is to be brought to the bridge. Sir?

Action: Sneezes can be heard from the section of sickbay where they are working on the bodies...

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: We are in contact with her brother on the surface.

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: Well I do have allergies to pollen... it was all over those bodies that came in... ::looks around:: maybe some of the others do too

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: We could patch her through from down here Sir.

Citene says:
::smiles:: COM: XO: Thanks....

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: It was all over Frona too, but it's funny... she's not dead.... ::shakes his head::

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: You're right.  Do that.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl: That's just it Karl, I don't have allergies. And I am sneezing.

Host XO_Naegle says:
COMM: Citene: You'll be speaking with your sister shortly. We're patching you through to sickbay.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
*XO*: I would suggest a quarentine of sickbay entirely. I have a feeling it has something to do with the pollen found on teh bodies.

Dr. Karl says:
::blinks:: CTO: Oh my.... ::heads to the computer and begins to figure something out::

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl: Where is the girl? Get her to a console to speak with her brother.

Host XO_Naegle says:
*CTO*: So ordered, Lieutenant.

Dr. Karl says:
::looks over and Frona and motions her over::

Host XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Patch this communication through to Sickbay, Mr. Richardson.

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Computer: Securtiy lock on sickbay, authorization Telgar beta zero zero nine zed.

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: I believe you're right... the pollen on those bodies matches the toxins found in the all three of the dead patient's lungs....

OPS_Richardson says:
::patches it through::

OPS_Richardson says:
XO: Done.

Host XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Thank you.  Are you calmed down now?

CTO_Telgar-Nash says:
Karl: Is there an antidote for it?

Dr. Karl says:
CTO: Antidote? We only just found the cause, Sir.....

OPS_Richardson says:
::Laughs::XO:Yes Sir.::grins::

Host XO_Naegle says:
OPS: Good man.

Computer says:
CTO: Security lock engaged, on authority of the Chief Tactical Officer.

Action: Before the comm can get through to sickbay, a moaning that has been ongoing in the background for sometime now, suddenly becomes more apparent. As everyone turns to see what the commotion is, they look to find Elove Naroma and Nurse Okinawa naked on one of the biobeds, locked in a very passionate embrace and totally engrossed in one another.....
