Prologue: While still in route to Starfleet headquarters the Apache has come across some vital information about the prisoners and because of an order for radio silence can not relay the information on to anyone. The other problem is that even if they were able to send it along just exactly who would they send it to that they could trust?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks to the door of the briefing room and waits ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: sits at the head of the table in the briefing room ::

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
:: sits in the briefing room patiently waiting::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the Captain and Wolf inside so enters and finds a seat ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: enters the room and sits down by the window. Smiles at everyone else in the room::

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
:: doodles on a pad::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: smiles at his mate, then his expression turns deadly serious ::  All: We have new problems. :: brings up the data from the doctors findings on the screen behind him on the display ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns her head to see the screen ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: The prisoners we had on board were all clones including Louie

Doc_Robbins says:
:: enters the Briefing room and waits for the Captain to spot him::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: So what does mean then sir?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
CO: Can we determine who made these clones? Romulans maybe?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: It means that the pirates are still at large, more over we don't know the extent of how many clones there are

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: motions :: Robbins : Doctor please join us

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: So these prisoners were bait?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Perhaps the doctor can shed some light on your question Wolf

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Nods at the Doctor::

 Doc_Robbins says:
:: walks up beside the Captain:: CO: Captain I believe I have some more bad news.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: A diversion perhaps

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: turns to face the doctor :: Robbins : Doc you are not making my day any better, what is it

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Well Captain it seems that these Nanites that they had in them were used for more than just a selfdestruct. I believe that they were engineered to control the people as well.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Which people? Are you saying these Nanites could infect our crew and take control?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: A crude form of mind control then?

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: No Captain they were placed in the clones when they were created and since expired with the deaths of the prisoners.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Doc: So they only controlled each other?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: So when the host expires so do the Nanites?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Was there anything unique about the cloning process that might help determine origins of the clones

 Doc_Robbins says:
XO: Something like that. They seem to work on the subconscious level placing more of a suggestion in the persons mind.

 Doc_Robbins says:
FCO: No they were controlled by some one else.

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Not really other than that someone has done quite a bit of research on this to be able to create clones this advanced.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Doc: On a carrier wave?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: Can we determine if any of us has been infected?

Doc_Robbins says:
FCO: I believe so or I should say a multiple of carrier waves.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at the XO:: XO: We could run a check on any unusual carrier waves.

 Doc_Robbins says:
XO: They can’t infect anyone Cmdr they would have to be place in you when you were created if you were a clone.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Is there any way to detect the clones without putting on an autopsy table?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
:: notes it on his pad and nods::

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Yes a tricorder scan with these setting should be able to detect the Nanites. :: Hands him a PADD::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at it and loads the data on the screen for everyone else to see as well ::

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: Next question is who can we trust and who cant we

 Doc_Robbins says:
XO: Unless you scan them I couldn't tell you.

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: Then maybe we should scan the crew just to be on the safe side

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Could you determine what frequency the Nanites communicated on, perhaps we could broadcast on that frequency

 Doc_Robbins says:
XO: I have already started that Cmdr after checking out my own staff first.

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: I can give you all the frequencies that they use however I have no ideal what would happen if you used them.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Maybe nothing, maybe we see how many clones are about :: grins ::

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: True that or you could get everyone on the ship killed.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: You mean on the ship with the clones don’t you doc?

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Depends on whether or not there any clones on this ship. I haven't finished all my scans of the crew yet.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: Have you found any evidence that our crew has clone infiltration

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Not so far and am holding out hope that we don't have any. But I can't say for sure whether or not there are any on the escort ship as I am not able to scan that one.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: I will have the captain submit to a scan and if clear have his crew scanned as well

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
CO: this is a coward’s way to make war

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: I would suggest that you or one of my staff do the scans.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: makes a notation on her padd ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: The days of honour are fleeting my friend, welcome to the 24th century

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: How soon can you have a team ready to go over

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
Doc: Is there anyway to determine who is behind these clones and Nanites

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: 5 minutes.

 Doc_Robbins says:
XO: Not at this time.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Robbins: I will contact the captain, your team can start with him.  They will have a security escort from our ship with them

 Doc_Robbins says:
CO: Aye Captain. And just so you know everyone here is who they say they are.

   TO Von Braun says XO: Orders issued and acknowledged sir

 ADM_Grisswold says:
@COM: CO: Roger have you learned anything else about what killed the rest of the prisoners?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: tries sending the Nanites frequency on a piggy back to the admiral during the conversation to see if the admiral is who he claims to be ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: heads back to the helm and contacts the escort ship :: COM: Escort: Apache to Escort. Prepare for medical team to arrive. Please have all personnel ready for inspection. Apache out.

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
FCO: Take us to yellow alert just to be on the safe side

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Grisswold: Yes sir apparently the prisoners had been infected with Nanites designed to kill

 ADM_Grisswold says:
#Captain Hsur says COM: Apache: Roger and may I ask why?

XO_LtCMdr_Wolf says:
CIV: Be ready to fire on them if this goes pear shaped

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Me sir? Well ok. :: initiates yellow alert ::

Action: The Admiral swings his are like he is swatting a bug in his office.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: rotates the frequencies and raises the gain slightly when he sees the admirals reaction :: COM : Grisswold : Sir are you alright?

 ADM_Grisswold says:
@COM: CO: Nanites? Any ideals how they were placed in the personal?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
COM: Hsur: Sorry for the inconvenience sir, but our doctor is requesting all personnel be tested for...a virus....could be serious.

 ADM_Grisswold says:
@COM: CO: Fine Captain other than there seems to be some kind of buzz here and I am not sure where it is coming from.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Grisswold: Our doctor has a theory but the implications of it are quite frightening:: watches to see if the admiral gets worse with the changes ::

 ADM_Grisswold says:
#Hsur says Apache: Roger we will be ready when the team arrives.

Action: The Admiral just keeps brushing his ear.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
