MO_Turok says:
::Sitting in Lor's office waiting to gain access to the Mortaquian database::

XO_Naegle says:
::sitting on the bridge in the captain's chair, waiting for reports::

CMO_Powers says:
::in his office working on a cure::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: in Main Engineering, overseeing the well being of the engines ::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: on the bridge downloading search patterns for vials on the ship ::

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks into Sickbay::

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Where can I help you Doc?

Ensign Web says:
::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: Sir, I have a question....

SO Howlingwolf says:
 ::on the bridge at Science 1, reading over Lt. Marsland's orders to her::

Host CO_Storal says:
@::waiting for Mr. Lor to return, taking a small walk around the hall::

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: In the labs. There isn't much we can do till we've figured out what this thing is and how to stop it.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Walking into the science labs still in EVA suit, carrying a biohazard containment box::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to the Ensign from his study of the anti-matter injector ratios ::

XO_Naegle says:
SO: Have you found any more vials, Ensign?

SO Howlingwolf says:
::scans the ship for more vials::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Webb: Then ask it. 

CNS_Solaa says:
@::in one of the many rooms, trying to decipher the databases::

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Alright. ::walks closer to the Doc to see his results::

SO Howlingwolf says:
: XO: Still scanning for more Sir.

TO_Hembrook says:
::Starts examining the collected vials for forensic evidence to determine who planted them or had contact with them, and to find who manufactured them::

EO Caillau says:
:: drenched in her own vomit :: COM: Caillau to Sickbay ....... help .........

CNS_Solaa says:
@::types something, then sits back and thinks, trying not to look out the window::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Abbott/Illoria/Lu'Kan/Verall*: This is Grey-feather.  I want every able hand searching this ship for vials of contaminant or any signs of tampering.  I have downloaded search patterns into the tactical system.  Get your PADDs and get moving.

Ensign Webb says:
CEO: Sir, I thought you should know... Ensign Strickland hasn't been in for duty this morning.

CSO_Marsland says:
::hears the COM:: *TR1*: Beam Lieutenant Caillau to Sickbay, immediately!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Webb: I know. He is not the only one. Are you suffering from the same weakness, Ensign?

Host CO_Storal says:
@::walks back into the building to see how the search is going::

CMO_Powers says:
*Caillau*: You have to be more specific than that.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Self: God... what am I looking for? It's like they don't want anyone to get to medical databases... where's the disease categories?!

XO_Naegle says:
SO: I know you'll do your best, Ensign.

Host CO_Storal says:
@::walks up to the CNS:: CNS:Any luck Ryn?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: watches internal scanners keeping status on his search crews ::

EO Caillau says:
COM: Sickbay .... I’m at the .... malfunctioning turbo lift .... lock onto ... my commbadge if you have to ..... :: begins to retch again :: ...... oh god, not again .......

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Boss, I'm in the lab scanning these samples and vials I collected for forensic evidence. I'll let you know if I find anything. I did have a few suggestions for you though.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::turns around in her chair:: CO: Nothing. It's either restricted access or so fully encrypted that I can't get to it. This is only some sort of Guest user interface... And a translator would be nice...

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::strides out of his office looking solemn::

TO Illoria says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant  I am searching the lowers decks near the protein processors.  I dropped my tricorder, when I bent over to get in I found a vial behind a conduit

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:I will have to tell Mr. Lor to get us access to the database.

EO Caillau says:
 :: feels her bowels begin to loosen ::

CMO_Powers says:
*TR1*: No, beam Caillau to the makeshift hospital in HR1

MO_Turok says:
@Lor: Could you access the database with you codes for us please?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Go ahead I am all ears, I have teams searching the ship as we speak

CNS_Solaa says:
@CO: Thank you, sir. If you don't mind, may I check up on the Apache, to see if they've found anything?

XO_Naegle says:
::sits back and watches everyone work::

Transporter Tech says:
 *CMO*: Aye Doctor. ::activates transporters::

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:By all means.

CNS_Solaa says:
@CO: I'm working with limited search options...

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Illoria*: Very good.  Put the vial in samples container.  I will mark your position maybe we can find a pattern

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: I'm going to go up to the holodeck and see if I can help out with the Lieutenant for now Doc. You know where I'll be, and I'll try to keep these sick people off your back.

TO Illoria says:
*CTO*: Aye sir...continuing search

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: John, it's Ryn. Have you found anything useful? I'm at the database now, what should I look for?

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Get the CTO to help if you need him.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Commander we found another vial near the protein processors for the replicator systems

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn: Mr. Lor, may I have a word please.

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Aye aye Doctor. Keep working on this cure. I'll do what I can in the way of research from up there.

CSO_Marsland says:
::strides out of Sickbay, headed towards the Holodeck::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Webb: Was there anything else, Ensign? I'm busy.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::looks up at the CO and nods, his face brightening somewhat:: CO: Yes of course Captain... what can I do for you?

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: First, I recommend getting all sick personnel into one cargo bay, and all healthy non-essential crew into another. All crew who need to stay at post put on EV suits. Then we flood the entire ship with disinfectant using the Intruder defense system That will kill everything whether we find it now or later.

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: You should look for any info on the illness and any cases of aliens getting over it.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: Symptoms? What's happening to everyone? No one knows what the hell this thing is called. I'm in the dark.

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::sees Lt. Caillau beam in, goes over to support her:: EO_Caillau: So, what's your problem?

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn: In order for us to get further information we need access to your database, and it wont let us get to what we need to see.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: I will see what the doc says about the disinfectant.  But we had a spill on the bridge, command crew maybe compromised

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Second, I recommend you do a level 1 diagnostic on the internal sensors and computer core. A Biological virus might not be the only one we have. The computer is running too slowly to be explained rationally.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: We have EXTREMELY sick and dying Mortaquians down here. I haven't stopped to ask them what was wrong with them...

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::frowns:: CO: I'm sorry to hear that Captain. Unfortunately there is little I can do about that. We do have extremely sophisticated databases that need specific clearances to view them....

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: I will pass the diagnostic on to the CEO, good work.  Keep at it

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: I'm sure someone down there can help you with the symptoms. Try asking.

EO_Caillau says:
:: starts to retch again, still wearing her helmet ::

SO Howlingwolf says:
 XO: Sir, I'm not getting much more information than what I already had. I recommend doing the deck-by-deck search like we're already doing.

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:Well can you access them so that we can view them please?

EO_Caillau says:
ALL: Get .... this thing .... off me .... bbrrrbggghgh ......

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: Well, I would like someone to help me out on this, please...

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CEO*: Commander the ship may have more bugs in it than we thought, you might want to run a level on diagnostic on the computer core.  The computer seems to be running slowly

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
 ::unlatches the helmet and pulls it off her, and tries to get her out of the suit, disposing of it all in a bio-hazard container::

XO_Naegle says:
SO: Very well, but I want them protected when they are roaming the ship.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Aye Sir, I'll keep you informed of any progress, and understood about the possible contamination of the bridge. I've got all my people in their EVA suits, and we're keeping them on until this is over. Hembrook out.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CTO*: I'll get right on it. Are any particular systems affected?

SO Howlingwolf says:
 XO: What do you mean?

XO_Naegle says:
SO: EV Suits, Ensign

MO_Turok says:
@CNS: Any luck with the database yet sir?

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: Thank you ...

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: If you are worried about security, I can assure you that I won't track the clearance codes...

EO_Caillau says:
::rolls onto her back on the biobed ::

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: Symptoms are lots of vomiting and other nasty things

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CEO*: The TO is using the medical database, that would be a good place to start.  Also look for any signs that our computer is being tapped into from an external source

SO Howlingwolf says:
 XO: Sir, it's my opinion that won't do much good until we know how this is transmitted. I mean, we had the bridge quarantined yet the duty FCO got sick.

XO_Naegle says:
SO: What do you recommend, then, Ensign?

CNS_Solaa says:
@MO: Oh, Turok, please don't call me 'sir'! And nothing yet. The Mortaquians are worried about national security...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CTO*: An external source ... ?

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::nods:: CO/CNS: Unfortunately even I cannot access certain files... I will see what I can do however... please... come with me and I will take you to my main computer...

SO Howlingwolf says:
::smiles a little:: XO: Sir, I recommend that the CMO and CSO hurry up...

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: Oooh... having fun with that one, aren't we, love? ::smiles:: I'll see what I can do and report back. Solaa out.

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks into the Holodeck::

TO Lu’Kan says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant I have found another vial hidden behind one of the shield generators while I was checking for sabotage

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: That would be most helpful, Ambassador, thank you.

XO_Naegle says:
::grins:: SO: I'll tell Lieutenant Marsland you said that, Ensign.

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn:Of course ::grins::Lead the way.

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
EO_Caillau: Now you just lay back and try to relax.. ::waves a tricorder over her to determine if the virus is in her blood::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Bridge to Sickbay.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CEO*: Yes such as a portable terminal or download from the planet or other ship

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: I haven't really looked at the sick people much... they're not a very nice sight. Good luck

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks up and starts scanning the sick personnel to see if he can determine how this virus is transmitted::

CNS_Solaa says:
@MO: Turok, would you go outside and question some of the sick and dying to try and gain some understanding of what this thing is? Have the Apache beam you a suit.

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Sickbay here

CNS_Solaa says:
@::gets out of her chair and stands next to the Captain::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to Ensign Rhyzova:: EO: Please begin a level one diagnostic on all tactical systems. I want you to find someone to run shield diagnostics - now. I'll be making a start on the Medical database.

MO_Turok says:
@CNS: Aye.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: I know you've been working diligently, doctor.  Do you have anything to report?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Lu'Kan*: I am marking your whereabouts, place the vial in a sample container and continue.  And Lu'Kan...Q'Apla

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: People are sick.

Action: Lor leads the Captain and the Counselor down a large hallway and past several rooms where they can see Mortaq people working busily.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Peterson: Ensign, I’d like you run diagnostics on ALL communication systems immediately.

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Any idea how it's being transmitted?

TO Lu’Kan says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.  :: continues search::

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: I .... I .. think I’m gonna pass out ....

MO_Turok says:
@::Contacts the Apache and receives the suit::

EO_Caillau says:
::begins to cough, her body spasming with the racking ::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Ideas... yes. I don't have a definite answer though. Tom's working on it

MO_Turok says:
@::Goes outside after putting on the suit::

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: Mr. Lor. Have your people experienced this type of epidemic before now?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
EO_Caillau: Well then it's a good thing you're laying down... ::turns Lt. Caillau over onto her side and brings a can over for her to retch in.. gives her a hypo to help ease her stomach::

EO_Caillau says:
::immediately vomits into the can once she's on her side::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Understood.  I know you realize this, but time is of the essence here, Doctor.  So work as quickly as you both can.

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: It's so cold in here .... aren't you cold?

CSO_Marsland says:
::Takes an air sample of the holodeck and scans for the virus::

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn: What did the council say?

TO_Hembrook says:
::Begins a computer-assisted review of the internal sensor logs of the last 48 hours to determine who was in all the places the vials have been found to possibly identify suspects::

TO Merra says:
*CTO*: Sir I was j..j..jus....erahhhhhhhhh.  Sorry sir I am not feeling to good.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@CNS:No... thankfully not.... CO: We are working to find a cure.... ::frowns::... sadly no one knows where this has come from... or where it even began...

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
EO_Caillau: You above all people should know that I do not have feeling Lieutenant.. ::scans the Lt. for signs of a fever and also checks environmental controls::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Merra*: Crewman you are relieved of duty.  Report to sickbay and restrict your contact with other crewmembers on your way

Host CO_Storal says:
@B’Rotahn:Well that is why we need access to your medical database. Since our crew is infected we need a cure just like you do.

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Are you actually doing anything or do you have the time to help out down here. You were a CMO once?

MO_Turok says:
@::Questioning the natives about the disease::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: I'm in command of the bridge, Doctor.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: Now you did mention that your people have recently had a civil war. If this is true, would the losing faction want to sabotage a diplomatic meeting?

CSO_Marsland says:
::analyzes his air sample, not finding anything::

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: No feelings? What's wrong with you? And where is everybody?

MO_Turok says:
@Mortaquians: Can anyone answer some questions for me?

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: Yeah, but are you doing anything?

TO Merra says:
*CTO*: On my way sir  :: gagging heard as the comm closes ::

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
EO_Caillau: What do you mean Lieutenant? All of the infected crew, plus myself and Lieutenant Marsland ::motions:: are right here.

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: What's wrong with your voice ... it's gone funny ....

TO_Hembrook says:
*CMO*: Doctor, have you determined what will kill this pathogen yet? If so, I have a plan to decon the whole ship when you have an answer.

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Sir, just so you know, we have determined that the virus is transmitted only by touch.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Commander search teams have found another vial.  And one of my security people is on the way to sickbay  :: concerned look on his face ::

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: Right now, I'm asking you for a report and I expect one within the hour. Bridge out.

CMO_Powers says:
*TO*: Yeah I have a cure, I just thought I'd keep it a secret.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::nods:: CO: The database is here...::leads him into a room::... though I hardly think you will find anything in there that will help you. Your medical technology is more advanced than ours.

CMO_Powers says:
Karl: She'll be rather disappointed then

EO_Caillau says:
::wonders why the nurse’s voice sounds like a 78 record running on 33 rpm::

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@::shrugs at the CNS:: CNS: That was quite some time ago... I do not see why they would? They have all but been abolished.

XO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Lieutenant. Good work.

Host CO_Storal says:
@B'Rotahn: Well if we can see what progress your doctors have made, it will help our people have a solid base as to finding a cure.

MO Karl says:
CMO: You want to hurry up with that cure?

TO_Hembrook says:
*CMO*: I didn't mean a cure for the infected crew Doctor, I mean to neutralize the liquid in the vials that carries it to stop any more infections.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::looks to the CO with an 'uh oh' look::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CTO*: Main Engineering to Lt. Grey-Feather.

CMO_Powers says:
Karl: Don't you have some vomit you should be cleaning up or something?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::looks at the Lieutenant:: EO: What are you talking about?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CEO*: Grey-feather here commander, what have you found?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*CTO*: I'm registering the computer running at a reduced rate, but I can see no obvious  reason for it. I'm still working at it, but it may be a while before I find anything.

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks out and heads to his lab::

CMO_Powers says:
*TO*: That isn't my top priority at the minute. That's more of a science thing.

Action: B'Rotahn Lor leads the CO and the CNS to a large room with a many consoled computer.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Lor: May I sit down and start looking. I would like to have you here in case I want to ask questions, if you don't mind?

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: Where's Jonathon? I need to speak to Jonathon .... ::begins to rise::

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Understood, Lieutenant.  I know you're concerned.  But I don't think it's a good idea to antagonize the CMO right now.

Host B`Rotahn_Lor says:
@CO/CNS: This is at your disposal. I must leave you for a moment... however I will be back....

CNS_Solaa says:
@::nods::

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::pushes Lt. Caillau back onto the biobed:: EO: Oh no you don't.. you're staying here.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CMO*: Understood. *CSO* Sir, have you discovered any agent that will kill the virus in the vial liquid yet? Can we use the standard medical disinfectants on it?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*CEO*: I will inform the XO.  Keep at it.  If the processing speed decreases again please let me know.

EO_Caillau says:
EMH: Noo....  get AWAY FROM ME!!!!

CNS_Solaa says:
@::sits down and accesses the database:: CO: This is going to be tricky... Dr. Powers says that there is a lot of vomiting...

CSO_Marsland says:
*TO*: Ensign, I am rather busy at the moment, but that is what I am about to try right now.

EO_Caillau says:
::begins to cough and splutter again ::

CSO_Marsland says:
::starts jogging towards his lab::

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:Upload this information to the Apache's computer. Tell Lt. Marsland that its on its way.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CSO*: Understood Sir, if you find one, let me know and I'll get to work with my people deconning the ship.

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::sedates Lt. Caillau and places her on her side aimed at the can::

XO_Naegle says:
::overhears the CTO:: CTO:I heard, Lieutenant.  That's part of what's keeping us from finding a cure.

CNS_Solaa says:
@CO: Aye. *CSO*: Tom, you busy? I'm accessing the Mortaquian database now. Connect me to the Apace computers, if you please.

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
*Bridge*: EMH to bridge. Come in, please.

CSO_Marsland says:
*TO*: Aye Ensign, Marsland out.

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:I know Ryn. Hopefully we aren’t infected.. I liked my breakfast this morning. I don’t want to taste it again. ::chuckles::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Aye ma'am

XO_Naegle says:
*EMH*: Yes, Doctor, what can I do for you?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::shudders at the thought:: CO: Agreed...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins scanning the main computer core for any remotely located communications, checking logs for twenty four hours previously::

CSO_Marsland says:
::runs into his lab:: Computer: Lock door. *CNS*: Aye Counselor, patching you in right now... ::patches her in:: ... What do you have for me?

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CO/CNS: Well, we did get past the biofilters, right? Unlike the Delegates... so perhaps we are indeed okay?

Ensign Webb says:
:: approaches the CEO again:: CEO: Sir.... umm... I just thought you might like to know... Ensign Strickland was found dead in his quarters...

TO Verall says:
:: opens a vertical Jeffries hatch near the forward deflector.  Finds another vial the hard way as its content drips in his hair::  Aloud: What the...?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
 *XO*: Sir, Lieutenant Caillau was having hallucinations, I had to sedate her. This is getting to the point where I may have to recommend placing these personnel in stasis to ease their pain. All of them are vomiting almost continuously.

Host CO_Storal says:
@FCO:I believe we are clear. We are uploading the information to the Apache. CNS:Do we have a link?

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: Not much... the encryption on this thing is crazy! I'm sending you a link to the disease part of it... Lor can't even access it all the way! I'm starting to get frustrated... try typing in the symptoms and see what you got.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Boss, have you contacted Starbase 366 to see if their Security caught anyone suspicious around our docking berth or if anyone on the Starbase has come down with this bug? If so, it might explain where this stuff came from.

XO_Naegle says:
*EMH*: Go ahead and put them in stasis, if you're sure that will ease the pain.

CSO_Marsland says:
::lays his slides down on each of the test platforms, and accesses the computer, typing in the symptoms::

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: Oh, Baran! Got lost, right? Help me out on this, will ya?

MO_Turok says:
@*CNS*: Not much to report yet, just that the disease appears to be new to the planet with introduction occurring in the last 72 hours and it is planet wide.

TO Verall says:
:: Wipes what he can out of his hair and places it and the vial in the samples case :: *CTO*:  I found another vial sir, mark location I am continuing from here

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO: Storal to Cmdr. Naegle. What is your status?

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: Have you got anything yet?

CSO_Marsland says:
*CNS*: Counselor, to tell you the truth, I'm more concerned with finding a cure. Has the Mortaquian medical personnel found anything of use? I don't really have time to be digging through databases...

CNS_Solaa says:
@*MO*: Oh, really? That's great news, Turok. Keep going!

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::grumbles:: CNS: I did not get lost... just slightly disoriented. What do you need? ::grins::

CSO_Marsland says:
::tries a mild soap solution on the first slide::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Not much information yet.  We don't seem to know where it came from or how it got here

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
*XO*: Very well Sir. EMH out.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: sees Ensign Peterson vomit all over his console he was working at :: ALL: What is wrong with you people!!!!

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*Verall*: Understood, location marked.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: John, the disease was introduced 72 hours ago. Don’t know the incubation rate... but it must be around 12 to 36 hours...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Peterson: Get to sickbay. Now!

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: It's a madhouse up here, Captain.  Vials are still being found.  The EMH has just informed me that he might have to put the sick crewmen in the Cargo bay in Stasis to ease their pain.  Our computer is running slow, inexplicably.

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: The incubation rate is 24hrs.

EO Peterson says:
CEO: Aye, sir. ::drags himself out of main Engineering::

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: I didn't find anything for evidence on my samples and I couldn't find anything in the sensor logs to pinpoint who did it either. I guess it must have been ghosts who planted the vials, and they got them from the wicked witch.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Anyone else feeling sick?

CSO_Marsland says:
*Shipwide*: All off watch Science Division personnel lay to Science Lab 1.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::waits, and notes that the rest of his section are shaking their heads no::

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CSO*: Right... we now know that 72 hours ago, the epidemic broke out. Are any known diseases like that? Incubation, 24 hours... seems like some kind of flu...

CSO_Marsland says:
::hops back into the database while waiting for the results::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Tell me as soon as any of you feel ill. Back to work.

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Acknowledged. We aren’t doing much better. Mr. Lor said that his people are looking for a cure. But something tells me that things aren’t kosher.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Very funny Gina.  Well if I thought a pair of red shoes would help this crew I would have you empty your closet and offer it up

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: Great. Search for anything flu-like. There has got to be a match somewhere...

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS/CSO: If you haven't found anything in the database... could it be that this disease is engineered? To ensure that a cure is that much harder to find?

XO_Naegle says:
COM:CO: Lieutenant Marsland also reported that the virus is spread by touch.

CMO_Powers says:
*EMH*: Have you tried treatment for flu?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::places Lt. Caillau into stasis and begins placing more crewmembers that are the worst affected into stasis::

CMO_Powers says:
::tries using antibiotics on his samples::

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: I'd be happy to donate them Sir. What would you like me to do now? Seems I hit a brick wall on my investigation.

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:Well at least we know its not airborne.

MO_Turok says:
@*CNS*: Could you ask Lor if there have been any recent visits to the other habitable planet of this system please?

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
*CMO*: My hands are full taking care of the sick crew Doctor, I though YOU were working on a cure. ::closes the channel.::

CMO_Powers says:
SELF: I'm going to delete that damn EMH.

XO_Naegle says:
COM:CO: That's for sure.  Doctor Powers is getting frustrated.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*MO*: Sure. Lor: Is Mortaq III the only inhabitable planet in this system?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*:  The join the search with the rest of us.  I have teams scouring the ship looking for more of the vial and for any signs of sabotage.  Get with them and be my eyes on the lower decks

CSO_Marsland says:
::tries a standard influenza virus on the next slide, and waits for the results::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:I think Im going to knock down some proverbial doors and find some answers. I think it may cost me my command for doing so.

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Sir, any personnel who have had some training in medical science, I could use. I just got the report that 90% of my division have been affected, and are in the Holodeck with the EMH.

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: Okay. Flu-like... incubation 24 hours... introduced 72 days ago... spread by touch.

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: All my Tactical personnel are in their EVA suits, I suggest you get the Security folks in them also so we don't get any more folks infected. I'll be coordinating the search.

Action: All power on the USS Apache suddenly drops as Main Engineering and Bridge Controls are suddenly rerouted to another part of the ship.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: By touch? Wait, wait, wait... by physical contact, or by fluid exchange?

XO_Naegle says:
COM: CO: Understood, sir. Good Luck.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
SELF: WHAT'S GOING ON!!!

CSO_Marsland says:
::sees his results vanish as all power goes off:: ALL: What the....?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::sees her uplink shiver for a few seconds:: Self: Huh?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Bridge, this is Main Engineering!!

TO_Hembrook says:
::Looks around as power drops...::

Host CO_Storal says:
@COM:XO:You too. Storal out.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: looks around in surprise then starts tapping commands into the console :: XO: The bridge controls are locked out commander

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Go ahead.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CMO*: Oi, is this thing spread by physical contact or by fluid exchange?

CMO_Powers says:
SELF: How the hell am I supposed to work in conditions like this?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Power has been diverted to another part of the ship.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: Try adding hurling to the list...

XO_Naegle says:
CTO:: Can you override?

TO_Hembrook says:
Computer: Why has the power dropped?

Host CO_Storal says:
@FCO/CNS: You two stay here.. Im going to ask some questions to the council. ::walks towards the council chamber.::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::hands running over his console, trying to locate the source of the redirection::

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Can you determine where it's being routed to?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Working on it.

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Keep me informed

Action: The USS Apache suddenly breaks orbit and veers off into space, turning to face the planet's surface below.

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: I have... there are a million and one sicknesses that have vomiting as one of the symptoms...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: WHAT'S GOING ON?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: attempts to reroute controls :: XO: Attempting to reroute controls using the secondary bridge processors

CSO_Marsland says:
Self: Hmm... ::walks over to a wall cabinet and pulls out a wrist light:: *TO*: Please meet me at the Main computer control console. Marsland out. ::runs out with a light and phaser towards Computer control::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::walks over to the warp core::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
EO Rhyzova: Cut all power to the engines!

TO_Hembrook says:
::runs to the nearest TL and takes it to the Computer Control room:: *CSO*: On my way Sir!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::tries shutting down all matter/anti-matter injectors::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::connection rate is dropping:: Self: What is happening to my link?! FCO: Something’s wrong with the Apache, Baran. ::eyes widen::

TO_Hembrook says:
::turns on lights on her EVA suit::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: We have broken orbit ma'am and are turning towards the planet

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: expecting the worst tries to lock down the weapons ::

Host CO_Storal says:
@:walks up to the council chamber doors and takes a deep breath before opening the doors::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
SELF: HAHA!! I HAVE YOU!

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CO*: Captain! I think something is wrong with our ship...

TO_Hembrook says:
::starts up the Jeffries tubes when the TL doesn't respond::

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

Host CO_Storal says:
*CNS*:What do you mean?

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: How long do you have before we crash?

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Yes, Commander?

CSO_Marsland says:
::climbs the ladder down to Deck 8, and enters the control room::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: I don't know what you're doing up there but I could do with some power to find a cure.

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: Is it our end or theirs? ::works with the CNS to try to re-establish the link::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: I have it, sir. An unused cargo bay on Deck 9.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks around for intruders::

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CO*: I don’t know... I'm linked to the computer and it keeps threatening to boot me off! That must mean something is wrong with the computer and/or the Apache power supply...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Whoever re-routed power, they did it from there.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: I don't know if we are crashing ma’am I would guess someone is about to use us as a sterilizer

TO_Hembrook says:
::Sliding down ladders in Jeffries tubes to get to Deck 8::

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Good work, Commander.

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: My link is fine, it's pretty stable. See if you can pinpoint where exactly the loose end is.

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Sir, I'm at main computer control. I'm going to try rebooting the main computer and locking out all access except to the bridge.

Action: The USS Apache, holds her position as weapons systems suddenly power up.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Send a team down to that cargo bay to regain control

Host CO_Storal says:
@*CNS*:Well they were having some computer trouble before. I don’t think its anything serious. The com channel probably just went down. Try to reestablish the link.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Nothing's WORKING!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::moves around to a different console::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: taps commands furiously :: Aloud : Damn I hate when I am right

XO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Go ahead, Tom.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CO*: Right. We're working on that.

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks to the midpoint access to the core, and pulls the plug connecting power to the core::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer! Restrict all access to impulse and warp control to Command codes ONLY!

FCO_Ilianor says:
@*CO*: Sir, we're trying... I'm moving backwards through the linkup... it's definitely not on our end, though. CNS: Try contacting them with your communicator.

Host CO_Storal says:
@*CNS*:Im entering the council chambers. I think they know what is going on. Storal out.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::viewscreen says "Connection Terminated... please reestablish"::

Host CO_Storal says:
@::Opens the council doors and walks into the room::

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: It's gone!

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
*TO*: Hembrook get to the cargo bay on deck nine, the ship is being controlled from there.  Get us control back, whatever means necessary , UNDERSTOOD?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::types furiously on the console, trying to get it back:: *CSO*: Tom, the link is gone. What's happening up there?

CSO_Marsland says:
*CNS*: No time to talk now Counselor.. someone's taken over the ship.

MO_Turok says:
::Heading back to Lor's office after the questioning::

CNS_Solaa says:
@*CSO*: WHAT?!

TO_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Understood Sir! Alpha Team: Alpha, meet me on Deck 9 Cargo bay, Intruder Alert... use all means to neutralize the intruder!

CSO_Marsland says:
*Bridge*: Someone's erected forcefields around the core, what's going on?

Action: The CO walks into an empty room.

CSO_Marsland says:
::heads out of main control::

Emergency Medical Hologram says:
::vanishes::

TO_Hembrook says:
::slides down the ladders in the Jeffries tubes one deck and starts double-timing it to the cargo bay::

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: We've got a BIG problem. ::shakes his head as he watches the console:: A serious problem. Our ship's invaded, and we're stuck on a dying planet.

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*:Did you erect a forcefield around the computer core, Commander?

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: This CAN'T be happening! Should I inform the captain? He's in the midst of delegating... OH!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Negative, Commander.

CSO_Marsland says:
::sees Ensign Hembrook and runs after her::

CSO_Marsland says:
::runs:: TO: What's going on?

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CNS: Just wait. *CO*: Captain, may we see you for a moment? We have a... very serious problem. CNS: What's up?

TO_Hembrook says:
::draws phaser, sets for Level 3 Maximum Stun, and opens cargo bay doors, charges inside, looking for intruders::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: I've been locked out - the computer isn't recognizing my commands.

CNS_Solaa says:
@FCO: Hold down the fort, Baran. I've got to be present with that counsel! I'll tell him and find out more. ::runs out of the room::

MO_Turok says:
@::Overhears the FCO's comment:: FCO: What's going on?

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: slams his fist on the console :: XO: Commander until we get rid of our intruder in bay 9 we are passengers here

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: G'hinTHAK!!

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Understood.  We might have to do this painfully manually.

Host CO_Storal says:
@::shakes his head:: Self:figures. *FCO*:What is it?

TO_Hembrook says:
CSO: Intruders in the cargo bay Sir! They have controls routed there.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Manually?

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Passengers or prisoners, Lieutenant? ::looks at him meaningfully::

CMO_Powers says:
*XO*: It's rather dark down here. You want to fill me in?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::runs down the hall and comes to large doors and opens them as quietly as she can:: CO: Sorry, I'm late...

FCO_Ilianor says:
@CO: Ah... sir, it's one of those sensitive, internal matters... suffice it to say, we are in serious trouble.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: We still have air to breath, passengers, when the air is cut off I say prisoners.

CSO_Marsland says:
::arrives at the door and gets ready to break in::

XO_Naegle says:
*CEO*: Yeah, accessing power grids and conduits manually to try to restore power.

Host CO_Storal says:
@CNS:It's ok, they aren’t here. *FCO*: I'm on my way. ::runs back to the FCO's position::

TO_Hembrook says:
::searching the cargo bay, moving from cover to cover, phaser ready::

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
XO: Commander permission to leave the bridge and try to cut the weapons before we do something really bad

XO_Naegle says:
*CMO*: I'm rather busy right now, Doctor.  Someone has accessed our computer system from Deck nine. We can do nothing about it.

XO_Naegle says:
CTO: Granted, Go!

FCO_Ilianor says:
@::watches as the CO returns:: CO: Captain... we just received a very disturbing message from Lt. Marsland. The crew has lost control of the Apache.

CTO_Ltjg_Grey-feather says:
:: runs to the turbolift :: XO: Aye

Action: The crew of the USS Apache watches helplessly while their ship acts without their control. Her phasers open fire on the main city, taking out some of the main buildings in the main square. Luckily for the Away Team, she's yet to hit the building they are in, however fall out from the other buildings may be a problem as the city slowly starts to crumble around them......
