Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Please come in. Sorry I’ve been unavailable. Starfleet has had me occupied with briefings. Can you bring me up to speed.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::lifts head, startled, then rolls off his bed since he's on the very edge of it::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:

::lays back down::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:

::in her office, working on some personnel files::
Host Rich says:
Action: The door chimes on OPS quarters start ringing none stop.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::into pillow:: Aloud: Dear God!
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Well, therre's been anotherr murrderr and it's most confusing. A dead Andorrian with a Klingon blade in his chest, but Vulcan DNA on the daggerr. I told the Counselorr to confine all of the dignatarries and thierr assorrted entourrages to quarrterrs until furrtherr notice. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::staggers to his feet again and heads to the door, opening it to see who is there::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::see's no one outside his door, yet the chime is still going off::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:What was their reaction to that?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sighs and heads into the bathroom to get cleaned up since the technology insists on him being awake::
Host CO_Storal says:
*CNS*:Counselor may I see you in my ready room?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: She hasn't gotten back to me yet.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::takes off uniform from last night and jumps in the shower::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. On my way.
Host Rich says:
<Ensign_Dedra>:: looks at the OPS officer and then starts babbling:: OPS: Sir you have to come to the bridge I cant take it anymore all of the Ambassador are on the comms constantly complaining about this or that. 
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::straightens up her desk::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Lets hope that we can keep the incriminating evidence under wraps until we get to our destination.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Self: I know I wrote something about this... where's that report?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pokes head out of shower - the door to his quarters hasn't closed either:: Dedra: Yea yea, alright..
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Agrreed, Sirr.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::holds the side of the shower - his head is throbbing, and his stomach isn't really feeling that great either::
Host Rich says:
<Dedra> OPS: Sir please they are driving everyone crazy up there.
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:I can tell you that Starfleet isn’t happy with these deaths. Especially considering the nature of this meeting.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gets out of the shower and goes right to his closet, not really minding Dedra or the open door to his quarters; he looks for a clean uniform, and has several to choose from::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Of courrse sirr.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::Starts putting on uniform:: Dedra: Do I need to be escorted to the Bridge, or can you just go back up there and take it for about three more minutes?
Host Rich says:
<Dedra> :: flushes at she sees the naked OPS officer and heads back to the bridge::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head; he's too hungover to be embarrassed at this point::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::looks under her desk for the PADD as its not on her desk::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Its obvious that something or someone is trying to frame each delegation.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::finishes putting on uniform and walks out of his quarters slowly, heading for the TurboLift::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Self: There! ::grabs the PADD and heads out the door::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: But who...and what could they possibly hope to gain frrom it?
Host Rich says:
Action: The CNS catches the edge of the desk as she straightens back up.
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Leverage perhaps at the meeting. They are negotiating borders I believe.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::walks into TurboLift and turns around, rubbing eyes softly:: Turbolift: Bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Ahh....
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nearly falls::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Have you met our new CTO yet?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::steps out of the Turbolift and turns left to his station and sits down; immediately, he deactivates all the comm channels to and from the Ambassadors' quarters; he has no interest in putting up with any of it::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::rubs her head but crawls out of the desk and out of her office::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Yes sirr...we sharred a Turrbolift.
Host Rich says:
<Dedra> :: smiles at the OPS Officer as he take his station::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Good. He is a good Officer. He was posted here before. I’m glad he is back. He is probably going over the investigation files.
Host Rich says:
Action: The CNS finds a very large bump on the back of her head.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::doesn't notice Dedra at all; he's already looking at the sensor logs from the last few days to see if he can find any discrepancies::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::rubs her head as she enters the turbolift:: TL: ...Bridge...
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: I gave him a brrief overrview on what's going on.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::head is still killing him, a little moreso now that he was up and moving and got his blood pumping a bit::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Good.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::enters the Bridge and heads to the CO's Ready Room::
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Well as soon as the counselor gets here. We should be able to make heads or tails of this thing. Well I hope that is.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::begins sifting through the data, trying to find a way to narrow his search; he decides to look at anomalies outside the ship first that are not typical to this part of space::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::immediately, the computer brings up a brief list; Davis looks at it carefully, tracing his finger as he goes down the list::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::looks at Bill before ringing the chime::
Host CO_Storal says:
::hears the chime:: Aloud:Enter...
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::twitches her tail and nods:: CO: I hope so sirr...we should be able to at least get one perrson to the meeting.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::enters the room::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::doesn't see anything out of order, so he turns to sensor discrepancies within the ship itself::
Host Rich says:
Action: The CO and XO can see a very large lump on the back of the CNS's head.
Host CO_Storal says:
::looks at the CNS:CNS:Please sit...Are you alright? That’s a nasty looking bump.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: Oww, what happened?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: I'm fine.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::notices a residual ion surge within the ship, right around the Transporter Room; he double checks to see if any transports were made during that time::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Are you sure?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::frowns, not seeing any transporter activity::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: I just hit my head. I'm fine. ::hands him the PADD:: Here is all I know about the murders.
Host CO_Storal says:
::takes the PADD:: CNS:What was the Ambassador's response to being confined to their quarters?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::tries to think of what could cause that kind of ion surge; the replicator is the only thing that comes to mind, but its output is not great enough to cause a surge at that level::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: They don't like it, of course. But I have a strange feeling about the Ferengi... I believe they are up to something.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::walks out on to the Bridge and heads over to Davis::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Can you explain further? Did you witness anything?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: Other people are finding them around the ship even though they have been confined to quarters as well.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> OPS: Feelin' OK, sir? ::smiles a little, knowing a little bit of what transpired the night before::
Host Rich says:
<AMB_Emmons>*CO*: Captain, I demand to know what is going on I have tried to contact someone through the regular channels but with no response.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head, not finding this entertaining:: Matthews: Let me ask you, Chief, what could cause a residual ion surge within the ship at this level? ::Points to console::
Host CO_Storal says:
*Emmons*:My apologies, but all delegations are being confined to their quarters until further notice. This is to ensure your safety.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: We may need to step up securrity, sirr.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::folds arms:: OPS: Replicators if used at a high enough level, but that looks like it might be consistent with site-to-site transport on the ship.
Host CO_Storal says:
*Emmons*:I assure you this is only temporary. We will be arriving shortly.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::folds his own arms and leans back in chair:: Matthews: But there's no record of transporter activity.
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Make it so. I want the guards doubled around the Ferengi quarters.
Host Rich says:
<AMB_Emmons> *CO* why have there been any more murders besides the Klingon and Andorian?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::looks at console again, this time a little more carefully:: OPS: When did this happen?
Host CO_Storal says:
XO/CNS:We cannot allow them to run free.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Underrstood sirr. Considerr it done.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::see's the time stamp on his own:: OPS: Wait a minute, sir - isn't that right around when the Andorian was killed?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: It's like they have no regard for our policies on board, sir!
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: And its frustrating because I can't read them at all.
Host CO_Storal says:
*Emmons*:No Sir, this is strictly a safety measure. We have stepped up security to make sure that any more incidents take place.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::checks the autopsy report; the time of death, and the time of the ion surge, are remarkably close to each other::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Agreed.
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:Have Lt. Davis set sensors to monitor the Ferengi movements.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sirr.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods at Matthews, thinking the enlisted man is on the right track:: Matthews: Killed somewhere on the ship, then moved so cleanly with the site-to-site transporters. But they didn't completely clear the sensor logs... 
Host Rich says:
<AMB_Emmons> *CO* : Very well however I do need to see my people and if you keep us locked down we cannot see each other.
Host CO_Storal says:
XO:As well as the other delegations. He can use their medical scans to isolate their readings.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> OPS: ...and the internal sensors picked up a regular ion surge.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::nods:: CO: Of courrse sirr.
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:What about the other delegations. Have you gotten a reading off of them?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Matthews: Bring Crewman Fuzzy up here immediately...he may be in the Transporter Room right now.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::frustrated also that Bill is ignoring her completely and trying to block her out of his mind::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Davis to Storal.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: ...I'm sorry? ::is distracted slightly::
Host CO_Storal says:
*OPS*:Storal here.. Go ahead.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::nods and leaves the Bridge, heading to find Crewman Fuzzy::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Captain, I think we've pieced together a reasonable theory on the Andorian murder.
Host CO_Storal says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS:Are you sure you are ok? I wanted to know if you have gotten any readings from the other delegations?
Host CO_Storal says:
*OPS*:Excellent. Would you come to the ready room please.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. ::transfers a few notes on the Computer, then heads to the Ready Room and enters directly since he was summoned::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::closes her eyes to concentrate:: CO/XO: The delegations are confused. I can read them all except the Ferengi.
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:What do you have Lieutenant?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO/XO: They want information and are angry that we're not giving them enough.
Host CO_Storal says:
::nods to the CNS::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: The internal sensors picked up a residual ion surge within the ship, and isolated near the Transporter Room. While there's no activity according to the Transporter logs, Chief Matthews seems to think it's consistent with an intraship transport. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: The sensors picked this up around the time the Andorian was murdered. He was probably killed on the ship, then transported to the Jefferies tube.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::finds Fuzzy in the Transporter Room and gestures for him to follow::
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:Were the sensor logs tampered with to hide the transport?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods:: CO: It would appear that way. There's nothing else on the ship that would cause that kind of anomaly. They must have cleared the Transporter log, but forgot or missed the ship's internal sensors.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::arrives on the Bridge with Fuzzy and tells him to stand fast::
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:Can you track down who access the records?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> *OPS*: Matthews to Davis.
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:I know its like looking for a needle in a haystack. But it’s worth the shot.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::starts to answer Storal, but hesitates briefly:: *Matthews*: Now's not a good time, Chief.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> *OPS*: I have Fuzzy with me, sir. We'll wait here.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*Matthews*: Understood.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: I can look into it immediately, sir...it might take a little time. There was one other thing, though.
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:I also need you to meet with the Delegations and try to alleviate their concerns.
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:Good. Use whatever resources you need to make it happen.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::folds hands behind back:: CO: A few days ago one of the Transporter crewman started to tell me about a device the Ferengi delegation had. He said it looked like one of the Ambassadors or whatever was pressing it; this was all around the time their ship was destroyed... 
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: But what do I tell them, sir? We're not sure who the killer is. We have next to no useful information. There's not much to tell them that we haven't already.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO, CNS: We need to look hard at the Ferengi. Mysterious ship, the transporter, and the fact that you aren't able to read them - we'd have more to work with if it was one of the others.
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:Look into the sensor logs. It may prove to what the crewman said. I agree with you.
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:I see your point. OPS:How much longer until we reach Carryoon?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Still three days, sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO/CNS: Bellatrix is right. If we go to them now and lay it all out, they may shut down.
Host CO_Storal says:
OPS:Increase to best speed.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO, CNS: If we give them just what they 'need' to know, we'll keep the killers a little comfortable - and they may slip up.
Host CO_Storal says:
::nods in agreement to OPS:: XO:Your thoughts?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: I agrree with Mrr. Davis. We don't want to lay all ourr carrds out on the table.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shoots Niventra a quick look, but doesn't want to be too obvious in front of the captain and executive officer::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Any other suggestions or thoughts?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: No. I don't want to be accosted by those delegates anymore than I already am.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::runs into the Watch Officer from Engineering as he reports to the Bridge; the man hands Matthews a report::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::grunts at the man and takes the report, giving it a quick look::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Very well then. We will leave things as they are now. Just like Lt. Davis suggested. We wait until they slip.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TC_Fuzzy> ::just hanging out on the Bridge, wondering what on Earth is going on::
Host CO_Storal says:
All:Hopefully with the new security measures in place. It will keep things quiet.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: But I do agree with Cmdr. Rr'Vellan. Step up security around the delegates as much as we can to avoid another murder. We do have an assassin on board.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods in relative agreement::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Agreed. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::just waiting to be dismissed - he's starting to feel like they've caught a break finally!::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:And just like you said.. the Ferengi seem to be the leading suspect.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods::
Host CO_Storal says:
All:Very well. Your dismissed. Please notify me if anything changes.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Aye, sir.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns and exits the Ready Room, stepping out on to the Bridge::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Mattingly: Ensign Mattingly, readjust speed to Carryoon - maximum warp.
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Get that bumped looked at Counselor. ::grins::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Yes sirr. ::exits the ready room::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Ens_Mattingly> ::doubles back, not sure where that order even came from:: OPS: Aye...sir..
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::heads across the Bridge to his station, where Matthews and Fuzzy are waiting::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::hands Davis the report from Engineering::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Yes, I should. May I leave now, sir?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the report::
Host CO_Storal says:
CNS:Of course.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head:: Matthews, Fuzzy: What the hell...?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::hands on hips; he's just as baffled::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::turns and leaves the Ready Room::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns and sees Niventra coming out of the Ready Room:: CNS: Bellatrix.... ::gestures to her::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Yes? ::tries to seem neutral::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits down in her chair with a soft sigh::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::hands her the report he's just been given - it indicates that the ship's Engineers found a micro-hole above the Brig where the Klingon was killed, and a similar hole in the head of the Klingon; Cardassian DNA was also identified in the Jefferies tube above the brig:: 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::folds his arms and looks at her::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Thank you. I'm going to Sickbay.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods and steps out of her way, and then looks back to Matthews who has the same stupid grin on his face that York had the other night::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: If you'd like to discuss the situation further, you're welcome to come.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::thinks for a second, then nods:: Matthews: Go through computer access over the last few days -see if we can link this transporter cycle to the delegates somehow, particularly the Ferengi.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Fuzzy: I'll get back to you - assist Chief Matthews in any way he sees fit.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Matthews, Fuzzy: I'll check back in a few. ::heads to the Turbolift::
