::smiles and takes the offered seat::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he steps to the observation lounge, just smiling at OPS... as he walks to the front with the admiral, he nods to everyone present with a smile::
SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: With all this delay, I would already be there via the Jeffrey's.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::pops out on to the Bridge and sees that no one is around::  Tactical Crewman: Where is everyone?
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::takes his usual seat facing the huge star-filled windows::
CO_Storal says:
CNS:You must be the new CNS. Welcome aboard Ensign.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Tactical Crewman> CIV: Ensign Newell just went off to the Observation Lounge - Deck 2.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
All: Thanks, everyone, for being here so prompt. ::looking around, he thinks of who hasn't yet arrived:: Um, why don't you all get something to drink first while we wait for everyone.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::offers the crewman a smile and leaves, again entering the lift:: Turbolift: Deck 2.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
SO: That's still an option. And besides, you're not convincing -me- you could navigate the tubes in your current state. ::steps off the turbolift as it reaches its destination::
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::looks towards Illianor, remembering his face as they talked earlier, and then smiles at the Captain:: CO: I am the new counselor. Reporting for duty, sir. ::smiles::
SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Well if I got lost, I could just take a nap. ::smiles::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
:;strides out into the corridor and pokes his head around, not having any trouble finding the lounge; he enters...::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::follows the CTO, listening to the conversation but wisely keeping quiet::
CSO_LtCmdr_Marsland says:
<Robertson>: ::takes a big slurp of the soup and bite of his sandwich, yawning after he swallows the food::
CO_Storal says:
::nods:: CNS: You will have your hands full with this crew. I’m sure that you are looking forward to it.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::twitches her ears softly and listens as the crew gathers::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::finds an empty seat and sits down, wondering if he should really be here; at least he has a uniform and everything and looks to fit in::
SO_LtJG_York says:
CTO: Now if you don't mind?
SO_LtJG_York says:
TL: Observation Lounge.
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:

Computer:What is the location of Commander Marsland?
SO_LtJG_York says:
::notices the new, fairly attractive Ensign sitting there::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Computer> CO: Cmdr. Marsland is in his quarters.
CO_Storal says:
*CSO*:Commander Marsland..Would you care to join us in the observation lounge?
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: There is no response from Cmdr. Marsland.
SO_LtJG_York says:

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::rocks in his chair a little, his nervousness manifesting itself in this way::
CO_Storal says:

CO_Storal says:
Iverson:By all means...
CSO_LtCmdr_Marsland says:
<Robertson>: ::sighs, rubbing at his eyes as he tries to fight off sleep, glancing at his shift report through strained eyes::

::enters TL:: TL: Crew Quarters.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:

CO_Storal says:
ALL:May I have your attention...
SO_LtJG_York says:
::sits up straight, feels his head getting clearer::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at Storal::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: Adm. Iverson walks to the front of the table, looking ever-so-imposing, her very slight cranial ridges acting as a heavy weight of sorts on the crew before her, as the CO addresses the crew...
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::turns his head away from the stars and at the Captain and the Admiral::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::exits the turbolift at the appropriate deck and walks over to Tom's quarters, rings chime::

::pays attention::
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::looks politely to the Admiral while adjusting her uniform's hem slightly::
CO_Storal says:
All: I hope that you all had a relaxing leave. I wish I did. ::chuckles:: But now its time to get to work. Admiral Iverson here will be filling us in on our new assignment. ::Motions to the Admiral:: Iverson: It’s all yours Sir.

::listens to the Captain::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: There is no response to the TO's ringing...
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::whispers into his commbadge:: *TO*: Ensign, should a forced entry be required, you may contact the Operations Center, who can remotely open the doors.

Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::raises his hand awkwardly, and waves:: All: ... Hi.
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::walks in:: CSO: Commander Marsland?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::walks further into the room::

ACTION: As she walks deeper into the quarters, the TO can see the silhouette of a person, on the ground near the outer bulkhead...
CSO_LtCmdr_Marsland says:
<Robertson>: ::finishes typing out his report, and takes the last bite of his sandwich::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::walks closer:: CSO: Commander? ::notices the phaser in his hand::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
<phaser near his hand>
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Adm. Iverson> All: I look forward to working with all of you. Now. I hope you've all enjoyed your time on shoreleave, but now it is time to return to work. ::she turns around, activating the monitor, and bringing up a display of the Tammeron system:: I give you Tammeron. I trust you've all read your mission briefs? Seven-planet star system. Tammeron III is home to a pre-warp civilization... and the source of some extra
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::reaches down to feel for a pulse::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: As the TO walks up to the CSO, she sees a phaser in his hand... and a horrendous phaser blast to his throat... or what used to be his throat... she smells faint burning flesh, as she leans forward... he is dead.
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::stands up:: *CTO*: Newell to Solita.
SO_LtJG_York says:
::watches the briefing::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he clears his throat:: All: The Tammeron are a humanoid species, characterized by sharp ridges that protrude down the spine. Very little is known of them - unfortunately, very little that might help you in your investigation.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::glances around, and stands up to head for the corridor, and quietly excuses herself from the room:: ALL: Excuse me... ::gets to the corridor:: *TO*: Newell, Solita here.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
All: All we know is that something is happening in that system, that is causing very significant damage to subspace... an effect that we have only begun to notice, through the Argus array. It will be your job to determine what that something, is.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Adm. Iverson> ::with a smirk...:: All: Any questions?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
*CTO*: Sir, I've found Lieutenant Commander Marsland.  He's . . . dead, sir.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Adm. Iverson> ::her eyes widen slightly:: CTO: What did she say?
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::looks towards the CTO and a quiver runs up her spine... hightened emotion::
CO_Storal says:
Iverson:Has there been any preliminary investegation. Launching of probes and the like?
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::brain locks for a half-second, and she glances back to the conferance room:: *TO*: Cause of death?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
*CTO*: Phaser wound to the throat.  It appears to be self inflicted.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
*TO*: Understood. Contact medical, get him to medbay so they can look at him, might ask for an autopsy. I'll let the captain know. Stay with him all the way to medlab. ::returns to the conference lounge, and clears her throat:: ALL: Attention a moment, please. Captain, Ensign Newell has found Mister Marsland in his quarters... he's dead, sir.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::notices as the new CNS stiffens slightly and wonders...::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> ::looks away from the CTO, and back to the CO:: CO: Yes, indeed. But we only sent out one probe a mere two days ago. You will be able to access telemetry enroute to the Tammeron system. In a way, the Apache is the probe. ::smiles:: You may do what you wish in your investigations, as long as you're careful, of course. Infiltration, absolutely. But this will be a reconnaissance mission only. Find out what you can, then report back to us.
CO_Storal says:
CTO:What?...How?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
*CTO*: Aye sir
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::winces from the jolt::
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::swallows:: CO: Sir, initial report from Ensign Newell suggest that he died of a self-inflicted phaser wound to the throat. He should be en route to medlab as we speak, sir.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::takes a deep breath::  CTO: What is the condition of his quarters?  Were bulkheads damaged in any way?
SO_York says:
::looks up.....in stunned silence:: Self: What?
CO_Storal says:
CTO:I want an investigation immediately. Why didn’t the blast trigger an alarm?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::frowns, thinking this must be some kind of joke::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
*Sickbay*: Sickbay, I have found Commander Marsland dead in his quarters.  I will be beaming directly to sickbay with his body.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
OPS, CO: I'll be looking into it myself shortly. If I can be excused, sirs, so I can go to his quarters and begin investigation?
CO_Storal says:
CTO:Good. Keep me apprised of the situation. Use whatever you need to get it done...
TO_Ens_Newell says:
Computer: Computer, lock on to mine and Commander Marsland's combadges and beam us directly to sickbay.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CO: I'm sure that Commander Marsland knew how to disable the phaser alarm within his quarters, sir... It can be bypassed... but usually only with strict Operations codes...
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::remembers that she read Marsland's psycheval, but it was so out-of-date that she was sure he'd changed over the past two years from the date of his eval::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Adm. Iverson> ::frowning, he looks to the CO and Baranephelion:: CO: Do you wish to reconvene at a later time?

::places his hands on the table...not able to speak, what happened?::
CO_Storal says:
Iverson: Im sorry sir. But I do believe that we should.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
CO: Aye sir. ::spins on her heel, and heads for the turbolift:: Computer: Computer, I want a report of -all- anomolus energy discharges aboard ship and a log of all weapons usage downloaded to my datafiles.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> CO: Very well. ::she looks to a stunned Baranephelion, and back to the CO:: CO/Ilianor: Will you take me to sickbay, captain?
CO_Storal says:
OPS/SO:I want both of you to look into this as well.
SO_York says:
CO: Captain, if I may be exused aswell. Solita might need my help..
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CTO: Wait, ensign,
CO: Permission to accompany Ensign Solita, to assess any structural or internal damage that may have been caused to the ship, sir...
SO_York says:
CO: Yes Captain.

::blinks for a moment, a bit stunned::
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::stands up and wanders out into the cooridor, standing there for a second and trying to figure out what just happened::
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
TL: Crew quarters. OPS: Sir, if you could please, look into overrides issued from Mister Marsland. SO: Got a tricorder?

SO_York says:
CTO: No, I'll get one from the Bridge.

Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Adm. Iverson> CNS: If you don't mind, counselor... ::she looks to the CO:: ... We would like to speak to the captain in private.
SO_York says:
::follows Solita..feeling sick to his stomach::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
<Karl> TO: I understand, ::looks down at the person:: This is Commander Marsland!  I'll have to send notification to his wife.  Oh dear.  And that means we'll need to find alternate care for their son.  Oh dear, oh dear.
TO_Ens_Newell says:
Karl: Doctor, calm down.  We'll take care of that.  You just do your job.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
CTO: Indeed, ensign.  You and the SO will examine the scene of death.  Report any structural or internal damage to me.  I shall be on the bridge.
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
Iverson: Of course, Admiral. ::smiles and turns to exit the lounge::
SO_York says:
OPS: Yes sir.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::slowly leaves the turbolft and enters Main Engineering, immediately seeing Crewman Matthews again::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: With the news of the CSO, and his own debilitated state, the SO... starts to have difficulty...
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> CIV: Something wrong, Lieutenant?
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::feels... strangely calm. Death? Death she can handle.::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
<Karl> TO: Oh, yes, of course.  ::begins the autopsy::
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::nods to the two of them and steps off the turbolift and onto another one down the hall::
SO_York says:
::leans against a bulkhead::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::wanders over to the station Matthews is at and leans against it:: Matthews: The Chief Science Officer was just found dead in his quarters.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
TL: Bridge.
CSO_LtCmdr_Marsland says:
<LtCmdr_Robertson> ::taps the codes to send the report off to the CSO, and tries to decide...:: Self: Bed?  Or... hmmm...
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> CIV: No kidding....what happened?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::crosses arms::
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::pauses to look behind herself:: SO: You okay?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
Crewman: No one's really sure yet...they just found him during this briefing I was at.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::enters the Bridge and sits down in the big chair::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::stands guard as the doctor does his work::
SO_York says:
::waves her away:: CTO: Sure, sure. Let's continue.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::arrives on the bridge and sees the XO standing on an empty bridge:: XO: I believe you need a pilot, Commander?  ::heads for the flight control console at the front of the bridge::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> ::grunts, then looks back to the console::  CIV: Never seen that sort of thing before, I'll tell you that much.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
SO: ... alright, if you say so. ::enters Marsland's quarters:: Computer: Lights at high illumination.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: I believe that would help. ::smiles::
SO_York says:
::enters behind Sol...and prepares himself::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::he steps into the turbolift, with the admiral and the CO:: CO: Captain, we have not been keeping tabs on the Tammeron as much as we probably should have. The last solid report we have dates back to about 10 years ago, when the crew of the USS Sarabi spent about three weeks in the system.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods, knowing what he's talking about a little - he never expected anything like this.  Then again, why would you?::  Crewman:  Anything to be done around here?
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::a hint of a smile crosses his face as he nods to the XO and seats himself at flight control::  XO: Standard undocking procedure, then, sir?
CO_Storal says:
Iverson:Then that would be an understatment. What strategic value does the system have.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: Inside the CSO's quarters, there's no sign of foul play... no sign of a struggle... everything is orderly... except for the lone phaser, resting on the carpet...
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::walks down the corridor to the turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> CIV: Orders were passed down to re-check the port shield emitter.  We could use a hand there since the engines are working fine...that's your specialty here isn't it?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS:  You got it. Then set a courrse forr the Tammarron system.
SO_York says:
::looks around the room, nothing is out of place..then sees a tricorder on Tom's desk..and walks over::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
Matthews: Yes, but I served as an Engineer in several previous postings.  Whatever needs to be done, just tell me.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
XO: Aye.  ::begins the undocking::  Engaging thrusters... releasing clamps.  We are cleared for departure from Station Flight Operations... Undocking...
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::walks down the deck, checking the nearby ship layout as she passes:: Self: Right way?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
<Karl> ::still working, but ready to give a preliminary report to the TO:: TO: It appears just as it is, Ensign.  He appears to have died of a self-inflicted phaser wound.  I can continue looking if you'd like.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> CIV: Sounds good to me.  We are definitely undermanned down here.
TO_Ens_Newell says:
Karl: Please, doctor.  I need more to report than that.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
<Crewman Matthews> ::turns to Davis for a second:: CIV: We're so short-staffed down here that I am in charge!  I'm no officer, I'll tell you that much.
SO_York says:
::sighs, then taps his commbadge:: *Robertson*: Sir, this is Lt. York. I, I think you should report to the Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::gently maneuvers the Apache backwards, then turns the ship around::
LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*SO*: What? Who's this? Why should I be on the bridge? I'm off duty!
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::uses her PADD to interface with the phaser, and pull its logs. Who fired it the past few times, and at what power levels, and so on:: SO: ... this looks to be exactly as reported... what could drive a man to do this?
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::enters Sickbay and finds a woman and a doctor inspecting the corpse::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::slaps the crewman on the back::  Crewman: You're doing fine.  We'll sort it out - I'm going to go and give the shield emitter another look.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
XO: I believe, sir, that we need to allow Lieutenant Commander Ilianor and the Admiral to disembark before we proceed.
SO_York says:
*Robertson*: This is Will York, Science Officer. Please just...ask questions later sir!
SO_York says:
::looks at Sol:: CTO: She would..
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Yes...of courrse.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> CO: No value in particular. Neighbours Starbase 47, Malcor, the Betreka Nebula. 20 light years from the Dorvan sector and Cardassian space. But all the same, we need to find out what's causing these fluctuations all of a sudden.
TO_Ens_Newell says:
CNS: Hello, counselor.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> CO: But... given the nature of the effects so far... you may have to take certain... measures. But we'll leave that to your judgment. Perhaps when you find out more.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::looks oddly back over her shoulder at Ensiign York:: SO: ... huh?
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
XO: Would you like to contact Commander Ilianor, or shall I, sir?
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> ::she looks to Baranephelion:: CO: Now, we'll take our leave of you. Send us a report on Cmdr. Marsland when you can. Computer: Transporter Room.
CO_Storal says:
Iverson:So I have complete authorization and clearance to do what I need to.
SO_York says:
::looks down at the phaser:: CTO: Rynia...she and Tom had a big fight before she left....he was feeling real bad. ::shakes his head::
LtCmdr_Robertson says:
*SO*: On my way.
LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::sighs:: Self: What the hell now... ::heads for the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Why don't you go ahead.
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
TO: Ah... hi, um... ::tries to remember her name with the face and walks over to the corpse::
SO_York says:
::looks up at Sol:: CTO: I need to contact her..
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
::mutters quietly to herself:: Self: Well, this might be complicated.
CTO_Ens_Solita says:
SO: Yeah. I got this here. Thanks.
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
TO/MO: I'm Bellatrix Niventra. Could you tell me about this man?
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
*TR*: Please inform the bridge when LtCmdr Ilianor and the Admiral have left the ship.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Iverson> CO: Hardly. You will report back to me when you find out more. But... perhaps by weighing the consequences, what you need to do is what you need to do. ::the doors open, and the admiral and Ilianor step out:: CO: Captain. ::she nods slightly, and heads for the transporter room::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Transporter Chief> *OPS*: Aye, sir.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
XO: Any particular speed preference, Commander?
TO_Ens_Newell says:
CNS: His name is Lieutenant Commander Thomas Marsland.  He was found dead in his quarters.  He has a wife, who is the captain of the USS Hayden.  And he has a son on the ship here.  The boy is actually his wife's adopted son.
SO_York says:
::walks over to the commstation in Tom's quarters:: Computer: Open a channel to Lt. Rynia Solaa.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits down in the chair and leans back:: OPS: Warp 5 for now.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
ACTION: The Vice-Admiral and Cmdr. Ilianor step into the transporter room, and onto the pad. With a nod, they are beamed back to the Starbase...
CNS_Ens_Niventra says:
::nods:: TO: That gives no reason for suicide, though.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
XO: Aye.  ::prepares the ship for the engagement of warp drive and the cruise::
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
<Transporter Chief> *OPS*: They have departed, sir.
OPS_Lt_Ryushi says:
::nods, hearing the comm... completes a graceful arc around the station and engages the warp engines in the direction of the Tammeron system::
TO_Ens_Newell says:
::Nods:: CNS: I know. We will be investigating.
Host LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
