Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The USS Arondight arrives at the planet Carne on its first mission.

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< BEGIN MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Loran says:
::sits in his ready room looking at the very sparse decorations that he just brought in and tries to figure out what else he can add to it to make it more lively::

CSO_Taliza says:
::continuing scans of the system, basing on the previous encounter's logs from the former USS Titan::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::checks fighters and goes over reports from diagnostics::

CEO_Syren says:
::reading the Titan's logs on the pirates:: Self: I can't wait (sarcastically)

CMO_Madson says:
::Doing inventory in the medical pantry::

CSO_Taliza says:
*CO*: Captain, this system has only three planets with only the second, called Carne, is class M.

FCO_Chottu says:
::at flight control:: Bridge: We've arrived at Carne.

CTO_Williams says:
::Has finished running simulations, and walks onto the bridge, slightly sweaty, and heads for TAC::

OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger Lt.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CSO*:  Is there any moons or asteroid belts?

CMO_Madson says:
::Shakes her head at the lack of supplies:: Self:  Left too quickly and I think we'll need everything we have.

CSO_Taliza says:
*CO*: And, captain, the outermost planet has two uninhabitable moons.  No asteroids.

OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: standard orbit

CEO_Syren says:
::finishes the last log:: Computer: Close file ::heads out into ME:: Cowell: status report!

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CO* : Sir we have arrived at Carne and are in standard orbit

CTO_Williams says:
*CO*: Reporting sir, Tactical on-line.

FCO_Chottu says:
::engages standard orbit and whispers as he shakes his head:: Self: Yeah now we are.

Host CO_Loran says:
::gets up out of his chair and heads to the bridge::  *OPS*:  Thank you, Commander.

CSO_Taliza says:
OPS: I wonder of the irony of the name of this planet.  In Terran Spanish, Carne translates to the standard word "meat."

CMO_Madson says:
::Noting the time::  Self:  We should be getting near.  Think I'll open a channel.  Computer:  Open channel to bridge.

CEO_Syren says:
<Cowell> CEO: All Diagnostics complete, minor calibration are being made ::hands Keyser a PADD::

CSO_Taliza says:
::does a full scan of the topography of the planet::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight receives a hail from the planet.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  I want all scans from all planets and moons to be compared to the scan of this system a year ago.  See if there is any differences in the layout or anything that has been added and make a list of those differences.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::sees the CO enter the bridge:: CO: sir we are receiving a hail from the planet Channels are open.

CEO_Syren says:
::reads the information:: Cowell: excellent. I still don't like the power efficiency rating though

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  On screen.

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO_Pike> ::enters SB, his arm wrapped in a bloody towel::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::does full system scan and compares to those of a year ago::

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: puts on screen::

Host SEN_Melan says:
::appearing on the viewscreen::  COM: Arondight:  We are so happy to see you!

CEO_Syren says:
::goes over to warp console and brings up power conversion data:: Cowell: Continue working, I’ll deal with it

CMO_Madson says:
::Swivels in her chair and sees the wounded man.  Walks over to him and directs him onto a biobed::  PO:  How did this happen?

Host CO_Loran says:
COM:  Melan:  What has been happening here, Senator?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, scans are identical.

Host SEN_Melan says:
COM: CO: Allow me to introduce myself, I am Senator Melan, our senate's Prime Electorate.  We are a peaceful planet and have no means to go after them.

CEO_Syren says:
::run a level five diagnostic on the port secondary power conduit:: Self: This just won't do...

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO Pike>  CMO: I was playing a game of Parises Squares and didn't do so well.  I fell from about 10 meters and landed really bad and on something sharp I think.

CMO_Madson says:
::Runs scans on his arm and begins washing the blood off::

Host SEN_Melan says:
COM: CO: When they hijacked the Salieas, we didn't know what to do.

CEO_Syren says:
*OPS* Commander, this is Syren. I need to take the port secondary power conduit offline. Any problems?

CMO_Madson says:
::Turns his arm and examines the puncture:: PO: Hmmm, doesn't look too bad.

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO Pike> CMO: Oh, it hurts like there was no tomorrow.  ::grimaces::

CMO_Madson says:
PO:  Any laceration or puncture causes a higher pain level.

CTO_Williams says:
::Re-aligns phaser arrays::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::checks power levels:: * CEO* : roger Ensign I see a problem with it myself

Host SEN_Melan says:
::waits impatiently for the CO to do something and fix his problem::

CMO_Madson says:
PO:  Hang on here, I think I see something.  ::Searches for a pair of large tweezers::

CEO_Syren says:
*OPS* Thank you. Engineering out 

FCO_Chottu says:
::sighs realizing his shift ended 15 minutes ago::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  What is the Salieas?

CMO_Madson says:
PO:  If I were you, I wouldn't look.  Once I get this out, it's going to be pretty bloody. ::Knowing how some of these SF guys faint::

Host SEN_Melan says:
COM: CO: The Selieas is one of our research vessels.  That is what we do here, scientific inquiry.  Captain, we don't have any means to go after it and save our people.

FCO_Chottu says:
::gets up from his chair nodding to the CO who is in conversation::

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO Pike>  ::can't help but watch::

CSO_Taliza says:
::hears the senator mention the ship and starts search for starship traffic within the last week::

CEO_Syren says:
::notices all his men are busy and decides to do it himself:: Computer: Take the port secondary power conduit offline

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  Do you have any information that can help us on searching for this research vessel?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I've started scanning for the vessel.  It would help if I had its warp signature and transponder code.

CMO_Madson says:
::Smiles::  PO: Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you!  This is going to hurt.  ::Grabs the object firmly and jerks quickly.  Blood gushes out::

FCO_Chottu says:
::walks over to a Turbolift and enters it:: TL: Crew quarters.

Host SEN_Melan says:
COM: CO: The Salieas was supposed to be experimenting inside a nearby nebula.  We don't know what happened.  We lost all contact with them.  Then, only a week ago, we received a message from some man saying he had our ship and people and that we would have to pay to get them back.  We don't have any resources to pay these people, Captain.  ::shakes his head::  Our poor scientists...

CMO_Madson says:
::Slaps on some large bandages and applies pressure to the gaping hole::

CEO_Syren says:
::grabs a toolkit and heads to the JT to re-align it manually:: Cowell: Take over, Chief

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, may I ask the senator a question?

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO Pike> ::screams::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  go ahead, Commander.

CMO_Madson says:
::Shakes her head and wipes more blood off:: Thinks:  Tried to tell him. At least he didn't faint.

CTO_Williams says:
::Monitors the situation::

Host SEN_Melan says:
<PO Pike>  ::faints::

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Sen. Melan: I'm picking up much traffic in this area within the last week.  Would it be possible for the ship's warp signature and/or transponder code to be transmitted here?  It would help a lot.

CEO_Syren says:
::climbs two decks up and crawls a few meters, panting helplessly:: Self: I need to work out more often

Host SEN_Melan says:
COM: CSO: I'm sorry, you are?  ::confused, who is he supposed to be talking too::

CMO_Madson says:
To the silent room:  Okay, he almost made it.  Five seconds longer than most. :: Squats down and turns him on his back and reapplies the bandages::

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Sen. Melan: I'm Lt. Cmdr. Taliza Cal, the ship's chief science officer.  I've started a scan to locate your missing assets.

FCO_Chottu says:
::gets out of the Turbolift and starts walking down the hall::

CMO_Madson says:
::Pulls out a little vial and pops the top off.  Waves the strong smelling stuff under the PO's nose::  Self:  That should bring him back.

CEO_Syren says:
::pops open an access door and scans the conduit with his tricorder to ensure it is offline::

Host SEN_Melan says:
::angered:: COM: CSO: They aren't assets Lieutenant Commander.  They are people!

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Sen. Melan: I was talking about your ship, sir.

Host SEN_Melan says:
::turns to the CO::  COM:CO: We will transmit all we have to you now.  Please find them and get them back here safely.

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: rechecks fighters and powers levels::

Host SEN_Melan says:
ACTION: The FCO hears a whisper behind him.  "Murderer"

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  We will do all we can to return your ship and crew safely.

Host SEN_Melan says:
::nods and closes the channel::

CEO_Syren says:
::pulls out an anodyne wave rectifier and begins the adjustments::

FCO_Chottu says:
::Chottu's face turns pale::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::transfer information that was sent to the CSO console::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CSO: this should be what you need

CMO_Madson says:
::Using a dermal regenerator, the wound is finally closed.  Catherine waits for the PO to come out of it ANY minute::

CSO_Taliza says:
::receives information and enters into sensors to find the research ship::

FCO_Chottu says:
::continues walking forcing himself to look at the floor in front of him::

CEO_Syren says:
::scans again then makes one more adjustment:: Self: That should do it

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Anything yet, Commander?

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir there is a message from the pirates in this information as well :: sends info to CO console::

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Blast!  CO: No, sir.  Nothing.  The ship may be out of range.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Another voice whispers to the FCO, "We know... murderer"

Host CO_Loran says:
::sits down in his chair and looks at the message::

FCO_Chottu says:
::looks over his shoulder nervously but doesn't stop walking::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There is no one behind the FCO

Host Bafii says:
<PO Pike>  ::starts to stir::

Host CO_Loran says:
::taps some buttons and tries to clear up the message::

CEO_Syren says:
Computer: Bring this conduit back online ::scans as everything re-initializes::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The message does not clear.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The conduit does not power up.

FCO_Chottu says:
::suddenly calm, Chottu turns, now heading back to the TL::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  I can't clear this transmission up.  Can you see what you can do with it?

CMO_Madson says:
PO:  'Bout time.  ::Helps Pike sit up:: PO: Think you can get up and get to the biobed?  Then you can faint again.  ::Giggles::

Host Bafii says:
<PO Pike> ::doesn't say a word, stares at the Doc and does as she says::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: roger sir :: tries clearing up message::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  The last location of the ship was a nebula they were studying.  Find out which one it was.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: When he arrived, the TL does not open for the FCO

CEO_Syren says:
Self: huh ::studies his scans again but doesn't see a problem:: Computer: bring this conduit online right now

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Also, check to make sure there wasn't any kind of virus implanted in that message.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The conduit does not power up.

CMO_Madson says:
PO Pike:  That's a good boy.  Come right over here and sit down, sweetie.  ::Pats the nearest biobed::  See, your arm is all fixed up.  ::Bends his arm so he can see the wound has stopped bleeding::

CEO_Syren says:
::breaks into a laugh:: Computer: Identify the problem with this conduit

Host Bafii says:
<PO Pike> ::flinches at the CMO's touch::

Host Bafii says:
<Computer> CEO: No problem identified.

FCO_Chottu says:
::just stares at the TL doors, every second feeling less and less in control/aware of himself::

CEO_Syren says:
::not surprised:: Out loud: I know

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: New whispers arise behind the FCO

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: Checks for viruses :: CO: sir I am not able to clear up the message and there is no virus in it

CEO_Syren says:
*OPS* Commander, Syren again. I need you to re-activate the power conduit. I'm not able to do it from here

CMO_Madson says:
::Walks over to one of the desks and pulls a drawer out and takes out a bottle.  Gets a glass of water and returns to the injured man.  Holds out the tablet and glass:: PO:  Here take this.  It will deaden the pain.

CSO_Taliza says:
::scans the nebula::

Host Bafii says:
<PO Pike> ::looks at the CMO dubiously::  CMO: No, its fine, I don't need that.  ::lays down and turns his back to the CMO::

FCO_Chottu says:
::feeling light-headed, Chottu leans into the TL doors to keep from collapsing::

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : roger stand by :: reactivates the power conduct::

CEO_Syren says:
::sighs and crawls out a nearby access port::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The TL doors open to reveal a pile of dead Titan crewmen. 

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, we need to get closer to that nebula in order for me to get any plausible readings.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The conduit does not power up.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Chottu stumbles back against the wall behind him, ending up more sitting then standing::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir we could have the fighters check the nebula

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The FCO blinks and the bodies are gone.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Chief I am not having any luck up here either

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks at Pike questioningly.  Sets the tablet and glass down on a table nearby:: Pike:  Alright.  But if the pain gets to you, the medicine is right here.  ::Pats his shoulder.

CEO_Syren says:
::drops onto deck 12:: *OPS* Didn't think so. I'm going back to engineering to get a team on it

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO_Haluc:  Plot a course for the nebula and bring us to 500,000 km from it.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The CEO twists his ankle

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : roger keep me informed

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: hears the CO order the FCO to head for the nebula and calls in the fighters that are deployed:: CO: Sir, the fighters are in and secured

Host CO_Loran says:
<FCO_Haluc>:  Aye Sir.  Plotting course and engaging.

FCO_Chottu says:
::falls down the short distance he was still hanging above the floor, his eyes still open, but not seeing much of anything::

CEO_Syren says:
::screams in agony when he tries to get up::

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks up at the bio scans and sees Pike's pressure is lower than normal::  Thinks:  No wonder he's a little out of it.

CEO_Syren says:
::grabs the railing and pulls himself towards a Turbolift:: Self: This is just great

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  We can send in the fighters once we get initial scans of it and let them recon it.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir 

CEO_Syren says:
::hobbles into the TL:: TL: Sickbay

CMO_Madson says:
::Goes and gets an extra blanket and walks back to Pike:: PO:  Here, you need to stay warm.  Your BP dropped, that's why you passed out.  This will help get it back up.

CEO_Syren says:
::steps out of TL and limps into sickbay:: Sickbay: Need some help please

CMO_Madson says:
::Tucks the blankie in around Pike.  Pats his shoulder again and leaves him to rest::

FCO_Chottu says:
::Chottu's eyes close for a second then jump wide open::

Host Bafii says:
<Ens_Fou> ::walks down the corridor and almost trips over the FCO::  FCO: Are you alright sir?

FCO_Chottu says:
::hears a voice echo in his head::

CMO_Madson says:
::Sees the limping CEO and hurries over to him, putting his arm around her shoulder::  CEO:  Come on in!  We have just the biobed for you.  ::Helps him hobble over to one::

CEO_Syren says:
CMO: Thanks doctor ::pulls himself onto the biobed and lies back:: CMO: I think I twisted my ankle

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: has three fighter squadrons ready to deploy when they reach the nebula::

FCO_Chottu says:
::watches the blur in front of his eyes turn into a floor, a wall and 2 feet::

FCO_Chottu says:
::struggles to get up realizing he's no longer alone::

CMO_Madson says:
::Pulls off his shoe and gently turns his ankle first to one side then to other asking each time::  CEO:  Does this hurt?  And how much on a scale of one to ten, ten being extremely painful?

Host Bafii says:
<Ens_Fou> FCO: Sir?

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: brings up the info on the Selieas and see that it was about the size of a defiant class ship with only warp 5 capabilities and on had a crew of 30 people and no weapons::

CSO_Taliza says:
::continues to check sensors en route to make sure when he can take good readings of the nebula::

CEO_Syren says:
::screams like a mad man:: CMO: YES! it hurts! like around 12 okay!

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  You have the bridge.  I will be in my ready room going over some paperwork.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO : roger sir I will send the rest of the information on the Selieas to you ready room

Host CO_Loran says:
::walks into his RR and goes and sits behind his desk still trying to figure out what other decorations need to be added::

FCO_Chottu says:
Ens_Fou: Mind.. helping me up ::breathing unsteady mid-sentence:: 

Host Bafii says:
<PO Pike>  ::jumps as the CEO screams::  Aloud: They were right, she is just as evil as they said.  ::runs out of the room::

Host Bafii says:
<Ens Fou> ::helps the FCO to his feet::

CMO_Madson says:
::Sighs.  Thinks these guys would be tougher::  CEO:  I'll go ahead and scan for a fracture, then.  ::Lays his foot back down VERY gently.  Runs scan on ankle bone::

CEO_Syren says:
::watches the PO run out:: CMO: there's no truth to that rumor right?

CMO_Madson says:
::Watches the PO dash out of SB in stunned silence::  Thinks:  Me, evil?  ::Shakes head and hits COM badge::

FCO_Chottu says:
Ens_Fou: Thanks. ::nods to the TL trying to move towards it:: Ens_Fou: I just.. fell.. Got the wind knocked out of me.

Host Bafii says:
<Ens_Fou> FCO: Um, yes sir.

CMO_Madson says:
Security:  Alert.  PO Pike has been injured and has left the sickbay without permission.  Please find him and return him as soon as possible.  He is behaving irrationally!  Madson out.

CEO_Syren says:
::gets the feeling he won't be leaving sickbay soon:: Thinks: this is not my day

CMO_Madson says:
CEO:  Of course not!  ::Frowns at Pike's reaction and wonders where he heard a thing like that!::

Host CO_Loran says:
::thinks that adding a big portrait of the new ship along the opposite wall will work wonders to add atmosphere to this room::

OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: ETA to the nebula Ensign

CSO_Taliza says:
::still unable to penetrate nebula, still too far away::

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks over at the CEO::  CEO:  Yes, you should be up in no time!  ::Smiles her best at him::

FCO_Chottu says:
::nods to the Ensign, realizing he's already on the right deck, then makes for his quarters::
