USS Apache
Mission # 230, Episode 5
10408.27
"The Blood for Freedom"

Prologue: The USS Apache is in orbit around Mortaq. The entire delegation is getting ready to head down to the surface while the crew is battling their own internal battles with an augmented case of the "Stomach Flu"

                             <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Marsland says:
::on the bridge, sitting at SCI 1.. still::

MO_Turok says:
::Sitting in sickbay working to find a cure for the crew's illness::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: returning to Main Engineering ::

XO_Naegle says:
::on the bridge in her chair::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: on the bridge at tactical ::

CMO_Powers says:
::in his office, looking over reports about the illness::

CSO_Marsland says:
*CMO*: Doctor, let me know if you need any assistance in Sickbay or in one of the Medical labs.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::in the turbolift, heading down to the transporter room, biting his nails, as the ship glides in standard orbit around Mortaq::

TO_Hembrook says:
::In the Armory assembling my gear for the Away Mission::

CMO_Powers says:
*CSO*: We need all the help we can get down here.

Host CO_Storal says:
::suiting up in his EV suit::* AT*: Now I want to reiterate that there will be no aid rendered. Until our investigation is complete.

CSO_Marsland says:
*CMO*: Aye Doctor, on my way. Marsland out.

TO_Hembrook says:
::heads for the turbolift and takes it to the Transporter room::

Host CO_Storal says:
*CTO*:Tell your security team. Low profile weaponry only. Keep the big guns here.

CSO_Marsland says:
::turning and rising from his chair:: XO: Commander, I'll be in Sickbay if you need me.

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Very well, Lieutenant.  Dr. Powers could probably use you.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::arrives at Main Engineering::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
::sends Lt. Ty'Vec to accompany the away team :: *CO*: Aye aye sir,  Have already made Hembrook aware that this is still diplomatic not war

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Sir, Ens. Ryushi contacted me with a theory about using the transporter to try and eliminate the disease after with find its cause. I have my doubts about the process, but I told him I would run it by you and see if you wanted to pass the suggestion on to the XO.

Action: One of the helmsmen on the bridge vomits all over his console.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: That seems to be the crew's answer for any medical condition on this ship.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: We have some sort of virus spreading on the Apache, and I want to know why it wasn't found and isolated by the transporter buffers!

CSO_Marsland says:
::sees the crewman and walks over:: Crewman: You okay?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO: Miss Caillau, run a level one diagnostic on all the transporter systems.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::steps into the transporter room, and grabs one of the environmental suits:: CO: Understood, captain... ::unstraps the suit, and starts slapping it on:: ... Just hope we don't come across any dying children, sir... it'll just make it more difficult. ::zips up::

XO_Naegle says:
CSO: Take him to sickbay with you, Lieutenant.

TO_Hembrook says:
::arrives in the transporter room carrying her pack and wearing an EV suit::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO:Well, be prepared for that. I’m sure we may see it.

Helmsman says:
::shakes his head then vomits on the CSO's shoes::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: sees the crewman vomit and knows the sickness in on the bridge ::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*:Doctor, our replacement helmsman is vomiting all over the place.  I've told Marsland to bring him down with him when he comes.

CSO_Marsland says:
::sighs as he'll have to replicate another pair of shoes:: *CMO*: Hey Doc, I've got another on the way. ::helps the crewman to his feet:: XO: Sir, if you could get another helmsman...? ::heads with the crewman towards the turbolift::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I didn't think it would work, but I did promise him to try sir. I must report to the transporter room now sir.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
CO: Captain, I am ready when you are... ::bows slowly, the weight of the troubles of his people seemingly on his shoulders::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: I'll have him quarantined as soon as he gets here.

CNS_Solaa says:
::on her way to transporter room 2:: Self: Now, we'll get some answers...

Host CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: We are just waiting for the rest of my team Mr. Lor.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Very good.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: What for?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
::nods:: CO: I understand. Please let me know when you are ready. I am most anxious to get to my people...

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: Captain, might I speak with you a second Sir?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Away team sir.

XO_Naegle says:
*V'Taran*: Lieutenant V'Taran, you're needed on the bridge.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Why wasn't I informed so that I could object?

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks into the TR:: CO: Let's get to the bottom of this, sir! ::smiles::

Host CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn:We will be leaving shortly. ::grins:: Wont be much longer. Excuse me.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO:What is it Ensign.

CSO_Marsland says:
TL: Main Sickbay, on the double. ::sighs even louder::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
::returns to his waiting delegates::

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: Sir, I don't think we are getting the answers we are looking for because we aren't asking the right questions.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO:What do you mean Mr. Hembrook?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: You know how the chain of command works, you are always the last to know.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: I see you're quite... what is it, gung ho about it?

EO Caillau says:
CEO: Sir, I’ve run a level one diagnostic on the transporters .... they're fine. I can see nothing wrong with them.

Action: The turbolift that the CSO is in, slows down. The panel on the side of the elevator begins to short out and the panel begins to spark and smoke.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CMO*: Doctor I have an idea.  See if the people sick had physical contact with the delegates

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods:: EO: Thank you, Nadia.

CSO_Marsland says:
::swears to self:: Computer: Halt turbolift!

Lt. V’Taran says:
*XO*: Yes, ma'am. I am on my way. ::puts away his PADD, as he stands and heads out into the corridor towards the turbolift::

MO_Turok says:
::Leaves sickbay walking to the turbolift::

Action: The turbolift comes to a halt.

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: In the Academy they taught us in Criminal Investigation that in order to prove a crime you have to show Motive, Method, and Opportunity. The delegates didn't have any of those. What we should be asking is: Who did? I have a working theory if you'd like to hear it.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Main Engineering to the Bridge.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO: By all means...

CNS_Solaa says:
::shrugs:: FCO: I just want this solved so I can go back to my quarters and to bed.

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Yes, Commander?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: alarm sounds on his console :: XO: Commander I show that the turbolift is non functional

MO_Turok says:
TL: Transporter room two.

CSO_Marsland says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CEO*: Hey, just so you know, turbolift 3A is on the fritz. It's halted somewhere near Deck 5, and I've got a sick crewman in here. I'm going to site to site to Sickbay. Marsland out.

CMO_Powers says:
*CTO*: I'm a bit busy analyzing at the minute, see if someone else is available to do it.

CMO_Powers says:
::runs a Hematological Scan on a blood sample taken from an ill patient::

CSO_Marsland says:
*TR2*: This is Lieutenant Marsland. I need a site to site transport for myself and the crewman here with me to Sickbay, on the double please.

Action: Before the CSO can dematerialize, he notices something leaking from inside the shorted out panel.

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: Bioweapons aren't used by Governments, dead people don't pay taxes. Rebels don't use them either, you don't kill the folks you want to liberate. Terrorists use them. I think the people behind the attack are Mortaquian terrorists Sir.

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Commander, I've got a report that one of the turbolifts is not operational.  It happens to be the one the CSO is in.  Could you check it out?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: I've run level one diagnostics on the transporters, and they're working at maximum efficiency. I believe I have a theory, however.

MO_Turok says:
::Arrives at TR2::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Commander I request permission to go to yellow alert once the away team is beamed down

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: What is that?

Lt. V’Taran says:
 ::the turbolift stops, and the doors slide open; he moves swiftly towards his console, and stops... he looks up at the XO:: XO: Commander... while I realize there is an illness on this ship... it is not too much to ask to maintain a certain level of cleanliness on the bridge. I will be using an alternative console.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO: Possibly Ensign. That is why you are going with me. I think the answers are down on the planet.

CSO_Marsland says:
::notices something leaking out of the panel:: *TR2*: Belay that, just beam the crewman to Sickbay... I'll be along shortly. Marsland out.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: I'll have Ensign Caillau take a look immediately, sir.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Agreed, Red if deemed necessary

CSO_Marsland says:
::pulls his tricorder and tries to analyze whatever it is coming out of the panel::

Host CO_Storal says:
TO:I know that you will be on the look out for that. Let me know if you notice anything.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: I know what you mean... I'm not entirely comfortable going down there myself. Who knows what we'll find down there... but I'm sure it'll be over soon. ::smiles::

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Has Sickbay analyzed the sickness?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Aye, it would not be the first time a ship was attacked for having a sickness on it.  I will go to yellow alert once transport is complete  :: very serious look on his face ::

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: If I'm right, they are the remnants of the rebels that got defeated in the Civil War mentioned in the database that went underground. Of course, they'd want to hide this dirty little secret, because they couldn't be admitted to the Federation if they had an ongoing civil unrest.

XO_Naegle says:
*Liore Kavah*:  Yeoman Kavah, I need you to come to the bridge and clean up a mess that was made.

Liore Kavah says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander, as you wish.

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: I'll do my best Captain.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO: Civil War? When did you find that out?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::smiles:: CNS: Well, you will have to speak to Dr. Turok or Dr. Powers for that. Speaking of which... ::grins::

TO_Hembrook says:
CO: It was in the info sheet on the database Sir, attention to detail is what I do.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: I believe the transporters did not pick up the virus brought aboard by the Mortaquians - if it is they who are responsible - as the Apaches computer assumed the virus was part of the Mortaquians physiology.

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Yeah, I know I know... I haven't talked to John yet... but I will, just as soon as we're done with the delegates.

Lt. V’Taran says:
::sighs very softly to himself, as he moves to an adjacent console a meter away, and accesses flight control from there:: XO: Vomit aside, helm is at the ready. Maintaining standard orbit around Mortaq III, ma'am.

CSO_Marsland says:
::takes a sample for further analysis:: *TR2*: Two to beam to Sickbay, please.

Host CO_Storal says:
TO:I didn’t see that information. I will inquire about that. Good work.

XO_Naegle says:
V'Taran: Very well, Lieutenant, maintain orbit.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Turok, what did you find out about the illness?

CMO_Powers says:
::scans the vile that was found by an EO and tries to find a match between the results and the results of the Hematological Scan::

MO_Turok says:
::Nodding at the other present members of the away team::

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO/CMO*: Commander Naegle, Doctor, I found some form of biotoxin leaking out of a panel in the faulty turbolift. I have obtained a sample and am currently enroute with the sick crewmember to sickbay.

EO_Caillau says:
::leaves Main Engineering and heads towards the TL:: 

CSO_Marsland says:
::waits with the crewman to dematerialize::

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: A part if their physiology.  Good work.  Forward that to Sickbay.

EO_Caillau says:
Computer, locate Lt. Marsland.

XO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Thank you Lieutenant.

Host CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn:We are ready Mr. Lor.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: We have determined that it has an incubation period of twenty fours hours

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
::looks over to the CO with immense relief:: CO: Of course, Captain...::joins him::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Understood Commander, Cha`Dak out.

Computer says:
EO: Lt. Marsland is in Turbolift 3A.

Host CO_Storal says:
*XO*:We are ready to beam down Janet. The ship is yours.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: And how long has it been since we first found it?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: scans for possible aggressive contacts :: *CO*: Captain will be going to yellow alert as soon as you transport, just updating you sir

TO_Hembrook says:
::Steps up on the transporter pad, hand resting on her holstered phaser, pack on her back, looking around warily::

XO_Naegle says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain, Safe Journey to you and the team.

CMO_Powers says:
::finds a match in the results from the tests::

FCO_Ilianor says:
MO: That's interesting... ::checks his chronometer, and starts timing:: CNS: Keeping him waiting... that's good, that's good. ::grins, as he steps onto the transporter PADD with his supplies::

EO_Caillau says:
::sighs:: Self: Thank god for that - I only have to climb three decks!

CMO_Powers says:
*CSO*: Get a sample of it, will you?

MO_Turok says:
CNS: The virus was not present in the delegates when they came onboard, yet some are showing signs now, so it is not part of their physiology.

Action: Several science officers file into sickbay... some of them holding their stomachs others are falling over each other... some of them throwing up in the halls....

EO_Caillau says:
::accesses a Jeffries tube from next to the TL, and begins climbing down::

CSO_Marsland says:
::dematerializes with the crewman, and rematerializes in Sickbay::

FCO_Ilianor says:
MO: Could it be an act of terrorism, then?

Host CO_Storal says:
Transporter Chief: Mr. Olsen, Energize...

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks over to the CMO after laying the crewman on a biobed:: CMO: Here's the sample Doc, analyze it while I try and help some of these people.

XO_Naegle says:
::steps over to the captain's chair::

CSO_Marsland says:
::hands the CMO the sample::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: I've found a match between my scans of the vile found by an EO and a substance in an ill crewman's blood. I think the illness was introduced onto the Apache. I can only assume that one of the delegates did it. I suggest not letting any of them leave the ship.

MO_Turok says:
FCO: I believe that it was intentionally released sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::nods and steps onto the transporter pad, her medikit beside her::

Action: The Captain, the away team and the Mortaquian Delegates materialize on the planet's surface....

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Understood, Doctor.  However, the captain and his AT have already transported.

MO_Turok says:
::Disappears in a bunch of flashing little lights::

TO_Hembrook says:
@::looks around warily... gives Lt. Ty'vek the finger to eyes and circle sign to look around::

MO_Turok says:
::Reappears in same said lights on the planet::

CMO_Powers says:
::studies the sample brought by the CSO to see if it matches with the virus::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Sabotage!!  Well I won't ever call the TO paranoid again  :: shakes head in disbelief ::

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn: Mr. Lor. What can you tell me about the civil war between your people?

CSO_Marsland says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant, I believe there may be more to this than meets the eye. Either one of the delegates is trying to kill us to hurt us, or they don't want the Mortaquians to join the Federation.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::rematerializes on the planet surface, as he takes a breath, and looks around the area to which they've beamed, as he pulls out his tricorder from his pack::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: One of those delegates introduced the virus to the ship. Can't you bring them back?

MO_Turok says:
@::Scanning the area for signs of the virus::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Have you been calling her paranoid, Lieutenant?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::blinks and looks at the Captain:: CO: Civil war? Oh I'm afraid that was long before my time Captain... that was quite sometime ago... You would probably find out about that in our database...

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: We have found NOTHING in your databases...

Host CO_Storal says:
B'Rotahn: I see. I would like to see your medical database as well. If that is ok.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: Captain, the doctor has advised me that the delegates need to stay onboard the ship.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Usually only to myself ma'am

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Doctor, how many do we have sick here now?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::gives Lor a narrow look::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Why?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::straightens his form:: CNS: Then it is safe to assume that you had no idea what to look for...

TO_Hembrook says:
@::Listens impassively to the conversation, scanning the area with her eyes, hand on her holstered phaser, waiting::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CSO*: I think you are right sir.  You know that means this sickness will be made to affect all the crew not just certain species

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: The turbolift that the CSO used needs to be sealed off and quarantined. The virus is the substance that Tom found.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: Takes the ship to yellow alert, shields up and weapons on hot standby ::
Host CO_Storal says:
@FCO:I want you to access the Mortaquian database and see what you can come up with.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: He said he found a match between his scans of the vial found by an EO and a substance in an ill crewman's blood.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: Mr. Lor, I have scoured your so-called "databases" at least three times already. It seems to me, that the History section was nonexistent, if you pardon my saying...

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@CO: I will see to that as soon as I can Captain, but I must first meet with my people.... I assure you... I will be as accommodating as I can...
CSO_Marsland says:
::overhears the Doctor:: CMO: It's too late Doc.. this stuff can go airborne, can't it?

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: He believes that the illness was introduced on to the Apache and suggests not letting any of them leave the ship.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: But anyway. We're here to help you out, so tell us what we need to do.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CO: Aye, sir. Lor: Where may I access your systems, sir?

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: Shhh, so we'll take another look. ::smiles at the CNS, then at Lor::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:We are already down here Janet. I will see what I can do. Storal out.

TO_Hembrook says:
@CNS: We are only here to observe and collect data Counselor, Captain's orders.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
::looks around:: CO: Captain... there were 15 of my delegates... but only 9 are here.... where are the others?

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Well, as I said, Doctor, they're already down on the planet.  The Captain will see what he can do.

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: I don't know. We have between 30 and 40 people in here now.

MO_Turok says:
@CO: I suggest we keep contact with the natives to a minimum, none at all if possible. We don’t want this to spread down here sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
@TO: Well, we can't just leave them to die... CO: Can we?

EO_Caillau says:
::reaches the dysfunctional Turbolift, and - clambering onto its roof - opens an access hatch and drops down into it::

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Okay. First of all, I'd see about getting your MO back, second, I'm going to the holodeck to set up the hospital program.

EO_Caillau says:
*CEO*: Sir, I’ve reached the malfunctioning TL.

TO_Hembrook says:
@CNS: We can if the Captain says so Counselor.

CMO_Powers says:
::puts the results into the computer and searches for a match in the medical database::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: What can you see, Ensign?

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:We may have to Ryn.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@Away Team: If you will follow me.. I will take you to my chambers where I conduct my government.

CSO_Marsland says:
ALL: All of you that are infected, follow me!  And for gosh sakes, don't touch anything!

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks out of Sickbay::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Shall I order a deck by deck search ma'am?

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::under his breath, and watches the CNS:: CNS: I hate this as much as you do... but orders are orders... just pray you don't see anything bad...

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Where are you taking them?

TO_Hembrook says:
@::Sticks close to the CO as we move::

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:Lead the way. ::Grins::

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: To Holodeck 3's hospital program. It's the best we have Doc.

EO_Caillau says:
*CEO*: The control panel has shorted out ... and there's this disgusting liquid around it ....

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Janet... We are missing Delegates. Are they up there with you?

CSO_Marsland says:
::heads up one deck with the contaminated 40 crewmembers to Holodeck 3::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*EO*: Do NOT touch it, Ensign. Can you repair it without coming into contact with the liquid?

Action: As the CMO tends to a Science officer, he notices a deep cut on her hand.

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Good idea. I'd like to be told when my patients are being moved in the future though.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Security teams*: Sweep the ship for any signs of the Mortaq delegates.  Place them in protective custody and put them under guard in the cargo bay 2.  There are 6 delegates unaccounted for.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: By all means, Lieutenant.

EO_Caillau says:
*CEO*: Negative, Commander.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::looks up and follows Lor::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::purses her lips:: All: I see.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: We're initiating a search now, sir.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Cha`Dak to Commander Naegle.

CSO_Marsland says:
::enters Holodeck 3:: Computer: Activate Emergency Triage Hospital program!

Host CO_Storal says:
TO:I think your right about what we talked about in the transporter room.

CMO_Powers says:
Science officer: How did you get that cut?

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: Well, on the bright side, we'll learn a little more about the Mortaquians! ::smiles and takes out her tricorder::

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Go ahead, Commander.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: takes the ship to red alert as per the XO’s suggestion :: XO: The security teams are sweeping the ship ma’am and I am taking the ship to red alert.  As per your orders

XO_Naegle says:
::nods to the CTO::

TO_Hembrook says:
@CO: Aye Captain, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't catch things like that.

SO Butler says:
CMO: I was doing some repairs to my...::urges::... console and I found a broken vial under the panel on the floor...when I picked it up... it cut my hand....:: urges again, throwing up blood::

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:Can you tell me which of your delegates are missing?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: coordinates with the security teams and listens for progress reports ::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Sir, Ensign Caillau has located the malfunction in the Turbolift, but she cannot repair it without coming into contact with the liquid we are currently investigating. What are your orders?

CNS_Solaa says:
@TO: We have missing delegates???

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Tell her to put on an EV suit and go for it.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::whispers:: TO: I thought we sealed them all up!

CMO_Powers says:
Self: How many of these damn things are there?

CSO_Marsland says:
::leads the personnel in:: ALL: Everyone, please either take a bed or a chair! If you need to throw up, use the ::points:: trash cans!

TO_Hembrook says:
@CNS: Apparently so Counselor, we seem to be 6 short of our 15.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

CSO_Marsland says:
Computer: Activate the EMH!

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@CO: They were six of my main followers... Captain... did you not beam them down with us?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::materializes:: CSO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::smacks her forehead in irritation:: ALL: I KNEW that some would get away! Lessee... we had about... 10 in the Conference Lounge... the rest were in their quarters... ::counts to herself::

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:They were present when we were in the transporter room.

MO_Turok says:
@*CMO*: Sir we are going to Lor's office. When we arrive I will try and set up a link between our medical database and theirs. It might make it easier to find the answers we need.

CSO_Marsland says:
EMH: Keep an eye on these crewmembers. They've come in contact with an unknown virus. None are to leave.

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:CEO:Mr. Cha`Dak: Check the transporter records. Were we beamed down all together or were we separated?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
CSO: Very well. ::eyes the CSO as he walks out of the room::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::checks the transporter logs::

CSO_Marsland says:
::heads back to Sickbay::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::sighs, as he looks to the CNS:: CNS: I take it this is a serious security risk... ::clicks his tongue, as he waits::

TO_Hembrook says:
@CNS: All the delegates were accounted for until the time we moved to the transporter room, I know that for sure. I sealed the deck and my people were patrolling the corridors.

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: It appears that there are multiple vials. I suggest running a ship wide scan for the virus. I'm sending you the details I have on it now.

Host CO_Storal says:
@MO:I will need you to go thru the medical database and see if there is anything in there about the illness.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Very well, Doctor.

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: Oh forget it! We just need to round them up and we'll be done with it. Next time, I'm requesting that they NOT send 15 delegates.

MO_Turok says:
@CO: Aye sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks back into Sickbay:: CMO: All the patients are in Holodeck 3, under the care of the EMH for the time being.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: Unless... they're nowhere to be found. And if this illness was indeed an act of terrorism...

XO_Naegle says:
SO Howlingwolf: Run the scan for the virus, Lieutenant.

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Apart from that one. ::indicates the science officer::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: Sir, we have a problem.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Whispers to the CO:: @CO: Captain, perhaps we might have better luck if we spoke to their defense personnel or police about any terrorist activities.

SO Howlingwolf says:
XO: Aye Commander. ::activates internal sensors to sweep the ship::

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Yes, of course.  So have we determined how this thing spreads?

EO_Caillau says:
::returns to the Jeffries Tube wearing her EVA suit, and begins clambering down to the TL::

XO_Naegle says:
::looks at the readout of the data that the doctor is sending as the scan is going on::

Host CO_Storal says:
@::nods to the TO::

MO_Turok says:
@Lor: Have you ever seen this virus or anything similar before sir?

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Not yet. I've determined that it's not in the medical database though. That thing is useless, no disease is ever in the damn thing.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@MO: Sadly no...

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: listens to incoming reports from the sec teams :: XO: Commander we have big trouble ma’am.  My people have found 8 more broken vials.  They seem to be everywhere.  Placed in out of the way places.  This whole ship is a biologic spill

TO_Hembrook says:
@:: Stays close to the CO, keeping her eyes peeled, scanning the area::

CSO_Marsland says:
::sighs:: CMO: Well, we need to find out what's transmitting this thing...

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: That's a good job for you though. See if you can determine how it spreads.

MO_Turok says:
@Lor: How extensive are you medical facilities here sir?

Action: Lor leads the Away team to a massive building on the far side of the town square. Some people can be seen in the streets moaning... some are even dead... others are tending to them and carrying them off....

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:CEO: What is it Cmdr.?

CSO_Marsland says:
::takes his sample to the Medical lab, and puts it under the high power scanners to see how it's transmitted::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@MO: Not as extensive as yours I'm afraid.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: I've found something in our transporter buffers .... six of our delegates.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::yelps in surprise at the massive genocide around her:: FCO: Oh my God!

MO_Turok says:
@::Scanning the bodies of the dead::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Can you isolate the areas where the vials were found?  Seal them off?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: It seems the computer has isolated the virus, and is holding the delegates in quarantine.

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:CEO:Say again!

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::keeps walking with Lor, as he looks around... he feels faint...:: CNS: Just... just keep looking forward...

CNS_Solaa says:
@ALL: It's like... like... t-the ancient Bubonic Plague on Earth!

CNS_Solaa says:
@ALL; And we're all EXPOSED to this!

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Hey, I have my sample under the scanners in the lab. It should give you results in a sec.. I'm going to the bridge for a minute..

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: And their patterns are already starting to degrade, sir. What are your orders?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: With this kind of concentration ma’am it is likely that the environmental system has already saturated the ship.  But I will try  :: tries putting up quarantine fields around the areas of the broken vials ::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::looks at the away team:: Away Team: Now you know why I had to return... ::sighs sadly as he takes them inside the large building::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::resists the urge to stop and help a woman she passes::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Can you vent the liquid?

TO_Hembrook says:
@::Leads the team inside, taking point::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::latches onto Baran's arm for support::

MO_Turok says:
@:Going to one of the ill Mortaquians:: Mortaquian: How long have you been ill?

EO_Caillau says:
:: once inside the TL, she begins repairs on the TL by first removing the liquid and placing it in a beaker ::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:CEO:Can you transport them into an isolated stasis area?

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:I'm afraid I have some bad news.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: I can place a forcefield around one of our holodecks or cargo bays, and place them in there. Would that be acceptable?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::whispers:: FCO: Baran... Are you sure we can't help them?

CMO_Powers says:
::tries some experiments to see if he can find a cure::

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:CEO:Check with medical. If we can isolate it then make it happen.

EO_Caillau says:
Self: Oohhhh, YUK!! This stuff is disgusting!!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CO: Understood. Apache out.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Negative commander.  We haven't found all the vials more than likely.  We would have to vent the whole ship.  We would crush in like an old style soda can

MO_Turok says:
@Lor: May I please view your medical database sir?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CMO*: Engineering to Sickbay.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: If it helps... I know how you feel... I feel sick... but don't worry, just take a deep breath, we're going in now. Oh, you're such a good person, it's in your nature to help them, I know. I am sure that we will be able to help them later. But for now, we have our orders... ::looks into the building... and glances over at the CO::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Understood.  Do what you can to contain the liquid.

SO Howlingwolf says:
XO: Commander, we're picking up vials all over the ship, but no way to tell how many Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::gulps and closes her eyes as they enter the building::

TO_Hembrook says:
Com: CTO: Boss, I have a suggestion I think might help up there.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Aye.  Trying to erect fields around the known vials and have teams looking for more vials as well as our missing saboteurs

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Don't be shy Gina speak up.  I am open for anything

CMO_Powers says:
Self: If I get my hands on those alien delegates...

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: Captain, I have more bad news,  Tactical and science have found more vials around the ship.  We are working to contain them in their areas.  Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated.

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:We have found your delegates. They were suspended in our transporter buffer. The computer detected the illness and quarantined them.

CSO_Marsland says:
::taps his commbadge:: *CEO*: Sickbay, Marsland here. What can I do for you?

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:I am sending Ens. Hembrook back to the Apache. Things are secured down here.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: Understood, Captain.  I'd be happy to have her.

TO_Hembrook says:
@COM: CTO: Get all the crew into a few places on the boat, and seal yourselves in. Then use the Intruder Defense system, but instead of Anesthesine gas, spray disinfectant in all areas where the crew aren't. That should kill most of it and leave you guys free to work.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::in a slightly surprised tone:: *CSO*: I need to speak to Doctor Powers ... is he available?

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Can you scan for the vials. That may make your search easier.

CMO_Powers says:
*CEO*: This better be important.

Host CO_Storal says:
@TO:Transport back to the Apache and see if you can help find those vials.

CSO_Marsland says:
*CEO*: Yes, he's here Commander. Just a little busy at the moment..

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: I was thinking of that, but until we find all the vials there is no way to spray effectively.  I have teams searching for more vials now

CSO_Marsland says:
::lets the CMO finish answering::

TO_Hembrook says:
@CO: Are you sure Captain? I could send Lt. Ty'vek back to help.

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: We did scan, that's how we found them.  We aren't wandering around the ship.  We're just trying to erect force fields around the vials until they can be properly disposed of.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::mouths:: FCO: Suspended???

CSO_Marsland says:
::Takes his sample and tries standard disinfectants, including alcohol and bleach to see if it kills the virus::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CSO/CMO*: My apologies for the intrusion, but six of the delegates are being held in the transporter buffers. Is it safe to place a forcefield in an area of sickbay for them, or should I prepare one of the cargo bays or a holodeck?

Host CO_Storal says:
@TO:It’s ok. Your EOD training may come in handy. Meaning that you will have a good idea where the terrorists may have hidden the vials.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::laughs, before he stops himself:: CNS: The important thing is that they are not harmed. I'd assume they'd be able to be rematerialized once the biofilters are disengaged. I wonder what it feels like... oh boy... ::shakes his head to shake off the feeling in his stomach::

CMO_Powers says:
*CEO*: Send them to holodeck 3 with the rest of the sick people.

TO_Hembrook says:
@CO: Aye Captain, but my teams and I are only a Com away if you need us.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CMO*: Understood.

Host CO_Storal says:
@TO:Will do. Now move out.

TO_Hembrook says:
@COM: Apache: Chief Owens, one to beam up.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::shakes her head, glad that she's not suspended in the transporter buffers::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Acknowledged, I will see what we can find out down here. Storal out.

Action: As the Away Team moves off with B'Rotahn Lor to meet with his government, the TO is beamed back to the USS Apache....as the mayhem continues....
