CSO_Lt_York says:

CSO_Lt_York says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:

OPS_Lt_Davis says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:

CSO_Lt_York says:
::sees OPS tapping into his work and cuts him off, grinning::

CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: The computer is still compiling the sections I'm going to review.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: We do know from Sickbay that he was murdered by a micro laser, though. Just how... is the question.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:

CSO: Alrright then, hail them please Mrrr. Yorrrk.
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
@COM: Apache: Apache this is shuttle Shire requesting permission for approach.

Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CSO: I see... well, let’s see what's up.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::opens up the channel:: XO: On screen.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Shire: Shirrre, this is Commanderrr Rrr'Vellan of the USS Apache. How can we help you?
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
@COM: Shire: Yes sir, shuttle Shire carrying your new Chief Tactical Officer as well as some replacement crew.
Host Rich says:
<EO_Stump> *OPS*: Sir we have a problem down here.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::considers asking what 'down here' refers to, but then figures it might not be that funny:: *EO*: What's wrong?
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Alrright. ::looks to the CSO:: CSO: Wherrre do you want to put them? Shuttlebay 2?
CSO_Lt_York says:
XO: Uh...sure. Shuttlebay 2 it is.
Host Rich says:
<EO_Stump> *OPS* : Sir we just found an Andorian in a Jefferies tube with a knife sticking out of his chest.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: I can meet him if you'd like, Commander?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
XO, CNS: Hold on, Counselor...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
XO, CNS: I may have something you'll want to see.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*EO*: What section, Mr. Stump?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::stands up and approaches the center of the Bridge::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Shire: Please dock in Shuttlebay 2. 
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: I would suggest Sickbay would love to see it more than I would.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sees Bill with a strange look on his face and diverts his attention to him::
Host Rich says:
<EO_Stump> *OPS*: Level 4 section 15 Sir.

Turbolift: Deck 4!
Host Rich says:
<EO_Stump> *OPS*: I will be here and I don’t believe that this Andorian will be going anywhere.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: Would you like me to meet our new crewmember, or follow Mr. Davis?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*EO*: Do be sure to let me know if you do come across anyone with a knife in their chest who IS living. Davis out. ::smiles::

::walks over to the center seat::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:

CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*OPS*: I'm on my way.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
EO: Anything else in the area?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gestures:: EO: Or just the body?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sits down in the center chair, and get's comfortable::
Host EO_Stump says:
OPS: No sir just the body and this knife. :: points to the large Klingon knife sticking out of the body::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::kneels down beside the body and looks at the knife, seeing its distinctly Klingon appearance; there are no blood marks or anything to indicate that the body was moved, or at least moved sloppily::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::gathers his things as he starts for the door of the shuttle::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::comes up softly next to Bill:: OPS: He's part of the Andorian delgation.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::notices that his chair can not be swiveled and sighs::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods:: CNS: And there's nothing...no evidence or anything.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::Taps comm badge:: *Sick Bay*: Davis to Sick Bay, send a team to Deck 4, Section 15 immediately. We've recovered a body there.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> *OPS*: Acknowledged, on our way..
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Sir, I highly suggest that ALL delegations be advised to stay in their rooms and have a security detail watch the deck. The Andorian we found was from the delegation.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::enters Shuttlebay 2 and looks around for someone in yellow::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Agrrreed, Counselourrr.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::wonders how she knew that the Andorian was a delegate, but then remembers that she's been meeting regularly with the diplomats and is more familiar with them::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::steps out of the shuttle, seeing a officer in red, walks towards her::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::picks up the Andorians arm and looks at his fingers, trying to see if there are any signs of a struggle::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::brings up latest reports on the armrest::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sees an officer walking towards her and extends a paw:: CTO: Hello, I am Commanderrr Rrr'Vellan.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: He was the one who could not stop staring at my chest.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: That's how I remember him.
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::comes to attention:: XO: Commander Jokeg reporting for duty sir. ::shakes her paw::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::stops for a moment, wondering also if he just heard that right - also figures she remembers a lot of people around if she remembers everyone who does that::
Host EO_Stump says:
::crawls out of the jefferies tube and lets the other officers handle the body::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sighs, and remembers she's empathic::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CTO: It's nice to meet you Commanderrr Jokeg. I trrrust you had a pleasant trrrip?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::does see scratches and what looks like something in the Andorian's fingers::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::shrugs:: OPS: You know I can't help finishing your thoughts.
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::nods::XO: Besides having a ensign on board with a hyperactive mouth, it was fine.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::breathes out, glad that she didn't strike him for that:: CNS: By now it's so predictable that you probably don't need any empathic abilities to figure it out... ::puts the Andorian's arm down:: It looks like he struggled with whoever did this. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CTO: Therrre's one on everrry shuttle I'm afrrraid. Would you like to accompany me to the Brrridge? ::gestures with a paw and slowly twitches her tail:: 
Host Rich says:
Action: The medical team arrives at the jefferies tube.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> ::arrives on scene with his team and starts to enter the tube, but sees two people in there already - and anything more than 2 is a crowd in such tight spaces::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::checks the time and sees that there is not much left of his shift...and starts having butterflies about packing up his belongings::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
XO: Of course sir.::falls into step beside her::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::thinks that it's time for him anyway, the transfer came in at a good time...this ship carries too many bad memories for him::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns back and sees the blue tunic of medical officers; he places his hand on Niventra's back:: CNS: Why don't we move out of here so they can do what they need to do? I think I’ve seen enough.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Agreed.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::enters the TL and waits on the CTO:: TL: Brrridge.
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
XO: In trying to catch up on the ships mission, I read that we are carrying ambassadors.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::follows Niventra out of the tube, and the medics quickly go in and begin scanning the body::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CTO: Yes...and they'rrre behaving like kinderrrgarrrdenerrs I'm afrrraid.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: I don't like what's happening to the delegates... makes me think one of us is next. 
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::nods:: XO: That is typical behavior of politicians.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gives her a grim look; the very same thought has crossed his mind more than once in the last few days::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CTO: It's good that you'rrre herrre though. Hopefully we'll be able to keep them in line. At least while they'rrre on boarrrd.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: What more can we do though? Do we have to keep them all on lock-down in order to insure their safety?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Yes.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::his armrest console beeps::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
XO: Seems I have arrived in time to lend a hand sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods, imagining how well that will go over::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::taps his commbadge:: *XO*: York to Commander Rr'Vellan.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> ::pokes his head out of the tube:: CNS, OPS: Just thought I'd let you know, there's no doubt about it - the murder weapon was handled by a Vulcan at some point.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: We have to monitor their activity. We'll catch the assassin soon.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CSO*: Go ahead Mrrr. Yorrrk.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Oh great, now the Vulcans are our killers.
CSO_Lt_York says:
*XO*: Just got a report from my Department sir, they have found a micro hole in the cell where the Klingon was being held, just above the sleeping area.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
MO: Can you positively match that if you had a sample to compare it with?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs:: CNS: Or someone wants us to believe that, maybe.
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::listens to the conversation, staying quiet::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CSO*: Have they scanned forrr biologicals?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> OPS: I'd have to get back to Sick Bay to do it, but yes sir.
CSO_Lt_York says:
*XO*: Not in the report no, I will get them on it.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sends a message back to the SCI department::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CSO*: Thank you Mrrr. Yorrk.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
MO: Please do it as soon as possible - we need answers.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> OPS: Aye, sir. ::let's the med team know he's going back and heads back to Sick Bay::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: Do you want to break this to Rr`Vellan? I’ll head to Sick Bay and get the word..?
CSO_Lt_York says:
*XO*: Commander, they just got back to me...evidently they are having a hard time analyzing any bio tissues since the area was sanitized.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Alright...
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CSO*: Oh lovely.
CSO_Lt_York says:
*XO*: Yes sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods and looks into the tube again, just as the med team is materializing en route to Sick Bay::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::still wants to ask him if he came to Sickbay to see her, but refrains::
CTO_Cmdr_Jokeg says:
::thinks that he needs to catch up on things quickly::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::heads to the turbolift away from Niventra::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::enters the lift and turns:: Turbolift: Sick Bay.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Commander, the person who murdered the Andorian was matched to be Vulcan.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::leans against the back of the cart and finally exhales, or at least it feels that way::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Why would the Vulcans want to get involved?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: I'm not sure.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: The Andorians did remark about how they disliked the Vulcan delegation with a passion.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Therrre's something serrrious going on herre.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Also, the Klingon was murdered my micro laser through a hole in the wall above his bunk. By who, it is not known at this point.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: We need to keep tabs on all of ourrr guests... ::rubs face in thought::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::the doors swish open with their usual flair, and after two or three seconds he figures he needs to get out::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Exactly. Security should be up there patrolling the area as we speak.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: If things get any worrse we'll have to confine everrryone to quarrrterrrs.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::heads for Sick Bay::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::enters Sick Bay and finds McNeal immediately::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Yes, ma'am.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> OPS: It's not one of the Vulcan delegates.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: I'm heading back up to the Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head in disbelief:: MO: Then who the hell is it?
Host Rich says:
<Damon_Grue> :: walks into sickbay:: OPS: I hear that there was another killing?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> ::hesitates to speak in front of the Ferengi::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: I'm on my way therrre myself.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Damon_Grue: Please go back to your quarters.
Host Rich says:
<Damon_Grue> OPS: I will however I would like confirmation of the Rumor first.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gets right up in the face of the Ferengi delegate:: Damon Grue: That sentence should have ended after "I will."
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::arrives on the Bridge::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sees the Counselor and gives her a nod::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> ::twiddles thumbs, starting to feel a little awkward now::
Host Rich says:
<Damon_Grue> :: stands right up to the OPS Officer:: OPS; Sir if there is any chance of danger to my Ambassador I need to know and I do not like your attitude.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Leaving us, Mr. York? ::sits down next to him in her chair::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CNS: You heard?..::then point a finger at his head:: oh, of course you did.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Damon Grue: You'll be notified of any problems we have. Go to your quarters and await further instruction, or you will be escorted from the ship's Sick Bay by force - unless you have a pressing medical issue...
Host Rich says:
,Damon_Grue> OPS; I expect a full report. :: turns and leaves sickbay::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::clenches his fist and does his best to contain the rage he's feeling; as he does this, he turns to McNeal::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
MO: Sorry, go ahead..
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods and smiles::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> ::holds tricorder up:: OPS: According to the Vulcan government, the person whose DNA is on the knife has been dead for up to ten years...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::puts his hands on his hips::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
MO: You've got to be kidding me.
CSO_Lt_York says:
CNS: Well it's time, you of all people know that sometimes people need a change...this ship, doesn't work for me anymore. With all that's happened.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::feels a spike of anger from Bill and winces::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CNS: No need to take it that personally Counselor...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_McNeal> OPS: I wish I was, sir. I even had them double-check just now.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::shakes her head:: CSO: Oh, no no... I just have a headache is all. Yes, I do understand your need for a change. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods, all the more perplexed by this most recent twist::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::smiles:: CNS: Oh sorry, well it's time I guess...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
MO: Thank you for rushing this - I appreciate it. ::nods and turns towards the door::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::extends his hand:: CNS: Thank you for...well your help lately.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: It'll be good for you. ::shakes his hand and smiles:: Just don't drink so much off duty. ::winks::
