Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The Arondight has just taken up position outside of the nebula with the Salieas.  Questions still abound.

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Taliza says:
::at science station, going over sensor sweeps of the Salieas::

CEO_Syren says:
Cowell> ::taps COM badge:: *Ens Syren* : The science ship has emerged from the nebula.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CSO*: Commander I am transmitting the information on the experiment that the Salieas was doing   to you now.

CSO_Taliza says:
*OPS*: Gotcha.  Ready to receive.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Walks over to McDuggle:: OPS: Can I see you a minute?  ::Nods her head away from the FCO::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::sends information::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::sitting at the Salieas' flight controls half awake trying not to show it::

CO_Loran says:
::sits in his chair and looks out at the viewscreen, seeing the nebula disappear from it as they leave the nebula::  TO Thomas:  Shields up and bring all weapons to full power.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Yes Doctor?

CSO_Taliza says:
::takes look at the experiments entering, and eyes widen::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I think we might want to open a channel to the senator.

CTO_Williams says:
@*OPS*: I'll stay down here in the cargo bay, investigating more, unless you had other plans.

CEO_Syren says:
::inside a TL:: *Cowell* Thank you, I’m already on my way

CTO_Williams says:
<TO Thomas>: CO: Aye sir, shields and weapons on-line.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::looks around at the Salieas controls, half of it seeming new to him again::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CTO* : Roger I will send the Doctor there in a moment.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Glances at Chottu, looking worried:: OPS:  The flight officer is not doing well.  He's just about burned out.  How much longer will he be needed to fly this thing?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Shoulders his phaser rifle over his shoulder, and glances around the area, non-chantilly, and avoiding the charred remains::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  I know, Commander, but, I want some answers from the Salieas first before I report it.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::glances at the FCO:: CMO: Now that we are out I think I will send him back.

CEO_Syren says:
::walks into ME smiling from side to side, sighs:: Main Eng.: isn't life great?

CO_Loran says:
*OPS*:  Commander, I need answers to what happened over there, and fast, before the Senator decides to contact me first and he will want to know what happened on the Salieas.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I have the information from the Salieas about the experiments they were running in there.  You're not going to like them.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As if in answer, a panel in ME starts blaring a loud, ear shattering, screech.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@OPS:  Good.  He needs some rest badly.  He needs to get some nourishment in him, too.

CEO_Syren says:
::glares at the panel and stomps over to it:: Panel: cute

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  What were they?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::gets out of his seat leaning on it::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: They include "Quantum Divulgence of Nanomolecular Particles," "Mass Acceleration via the Eulc Method," "Radiation Spectral Analysis as Applies to String Theory," and "Nebula Retroformation Postulate, Observation Series 72."  It looks rather strange.

CEO_Syren says:
::shuts down the alarm and tries to find the problem:: 

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO*: Roger Sir I am sending the doctor down to the cargo bay to find out what she can

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The alarm ceases.

CTO_Williams says:
@*OPS*: When’s Catherine coming over?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It seems that they were doing some seedy experiments in there.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Doc I need you to down to the cargo bay.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Frowns, thinking about wandering this creepy ship by herself::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CTO: She should be there shortly.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I'd like to get some answers from the senator or someone within the Carne scientific community.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Stand by and I will have Dragoes transport you there.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::attempts to move over to another console and     succeeds!::

CEO_Syren says:
::finds that modifications to the Transporter are affecting the computer:: 

CTO_Williams says:
@*OPS*: Roger that, Ryan out.

CO_Loran says:
*OPS*:  I need you to see if anything is missing, experiments, equipment, or even crew.  Need to know why the pirates where there.  Also check to see if anything was downloaded before we got there, within the last 4 weeks also.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@OPS:  Thanks!

FCO_Chottu says:
@::starts going through a database, not really sure which one::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*Dragoes* : Lt. I need the CMO transported to the Cargo bay where Lt. Williams is.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere: Crewman, assemble a team and reverse the transporter modifications as soon as possible 

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO*: Sir we are working on it.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> Aye sir ::smiles as he takes off::

OPS_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes>*OPS*: Sir we are unable to do that now.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Sorry Doc but I guess you will have to walk.

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  I still want a few more answers before we talk to the Senator.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Takes a deep breath::  Self:  Guess it's the ladders...

CEO_Syren says:
::begins manually monitoring the computer in case the malfunction occurs again:: Ship: I’ll play nice if you will

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, everyone on board there is dead.  I would like to be able to talk to someone about those experiments.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Walks to a console an punches up a schematic of the ship.  Sees the way to the CTO::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@FCO: Lt. you have done a good job so just relax for now.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer gives one simple beep that almost sounds like an answer to the CEO.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Listens, and hears clanking on the ladder, and points the phaser at the door, in case::

CO_Loran says:
*OPS*:  Commander Taliza has informed me that many if not all of the experiments on board were seedy experiments, so, be careful with them.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Starts climbing down the ladder.  Then jogs down a corridor.  Finds the next ladder and starts down::

CEO_Syren says:
::freezes then gets up:: Main Eng.: did anyone here that?

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO* : Roger Sir thanks for the info.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Notices the sound coming closer::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::hears a voice somewhere but keeps going through a database still not sure or caring which::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::goes back to the console that the doctor was using to see what he can find::

CEO_Syren says:
::everyone stares at him strangely:: Self: What are you thinking. The computer answered? Next you'll be going out for drinks with a plasma manifold ::sits back down::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Walks down a corridor and into a room that looks like its the right one::  CTO:  Ryan?

CTO_Williams says:
@Catherine: Whew.... didn't who was coming... you took long enough...  ::Grins, half serious.::

CEO_Syren says:
::opens a channel to the Bridge and half listens to the reports::

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Only problem left, is that you don't really have a whole lot left to study... ::Face turns grim::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Gives Williams a patient look::  CTO:  Okay, where are those remains?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Shoulder his phaser rifle, and points to the distant corner, where all that remains is a charred corner, and some blacked remains:: CMO: There.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CTO:  It doesn't take much to get the DNA.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows the CMO over::

CSO_Taliza says:
::takes further look into the experiments::

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Yeah I guess... at least they don't look like dead people... more like fried carbon remains.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> *CEO* Sir, we're having some problems. Nine of the computer relays fused. We're looking at almost two hours

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Walks to corner and slowly looks the scorch marks over.  Takes out her medical tricorder and scans the remains for sets of DNA::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::doesn't find anything different from before except some more detailed information on the experiments. Way to complicated for him to understand:: *CSO*: Cmdr. I have some more info on the experiments to send you. :: transmits info::

CSO_Taliza says:
*OPS*: Receiving...

CO_Loran says:
TO Thomas:  Do you have anything on LRS?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*:  Sir, there are 30 separate DNA signatures.  The whole crew is here.  They didn't take any prisoners.

CEO_Syren says:
::rejoices in that "we" doesn't include Keyser:: *P'Deere* I can spare two more men...if it would help? 

CTO_Williams says:
<TO Thomas:>CO: Nothing to report, but meteors and space dust.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*: Continuing some general scans.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CMO*: Roger Doc transmit you findings to the CSO.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, it seems the experiments are more legit than I thought.  They are very much advanced.

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: It maybe a bad time... but I never get a chance to talk to you... do you talk to Joanna much?

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> *CEO* Never mind Sir. We don't have that much space to work with. P'Deere Out.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*:  Will do.  CTO:  A little more, now that hubby's gone.

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Roger.  Keep looking into them.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Coughs:: CMO: Does she ever... mention me... at all?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, why'd you call me Roger?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@:: Starts downloading the DNA scan to the CSO.  Reads over the general scan finds::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I'm receiving some information from Dr. Madson...

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::sees the FCO still working on the flight control and goes over to him and places hank on his shoulder:: FCO: Lt. Relax you done a fine job.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Without looking up:: CTO:  Oh, she might have a few times.  ::Smiles enigmatically::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  It is an expression, Commander.  Like yes, or aye.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::turns around shocked backing into a wall::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  What is her report?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: She's sent DNA scans of the remains of the Salieas' crew.

CEO_Syren says:
::makes a note in his log about the problem:: Self: I wonder... 

FCO_Chottu says:
@::looks shocked for a few more seconds::

CEO_Syren says:
::leans in to the computer:: Ship: Hey, do you think you could help my guys out in TR 1

FCO_Chottu says:
@Self: Oh.  OPS: Aye sir.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@FCO: Easy Lt. I don't need you hurting yourself.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Coughs again:: CMO: Would it be alright, if I took her for dinner sometime?  I thought it would be best to have your permission first, Lt. ... I mean.. Mrs.. I mean.... Ms. Madson...

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer doesn't respond to the CEO

CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks away nervously, he's not used to being nervous in a situation::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Has she found anything useful, Commander?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Laughs at the CTO's question...but then turns it into a cough:: CTO: I don't think you need my permission!  She has a mind of her own!

FCO_Chottu says:
@::sees the OPS's lips move but doesn't hear a thing::

CEO_Syren says:
::closes his eyes and shakes his head:: Computer: Make an appointment with the ship's counselor as soon as possible

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Just confirming all were killed.

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  That isn't good.  I was hoping someone was taken.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*: Sir...this is really strange...these remains aren't from the real bodies...

OPS_McDuggle says:
@FCO: Can you hear me? :: becomes a bit concerned::

CO_Loran says:
*OPS*:  Commander, anything on the experiments or equipment being lost or data being downloaded?

CEO_Syren says:
::scolds himself internally and heads to his office:: Cowell: Take over, I think I need a rest

CTO_Williams says:
@::Quickly responds:: CMO: Yes, but I just wanted to make sure you... I don't want you think I would be ba---or rather, I just would like to make sure you think I'd be alright for her, and vice versa.  Your a betazed, you probably know better then me... ::Coughs yet again::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CMO*: Did you say that they weren’t from real bodies Doc?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::nods, not hearing what is said, but figuring it the only way to cover things up::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::turns back to the console and goes over the database again::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO*: Sir all data was downloaded when the pirates were aboard from what I can find.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*:  Yes sir, the bodies have been...I'm not sure...synthesized maybe?!

CO_Loran says:
::thinks to himself...well, at least they were there for something::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Lets the CMO, talk over the intercoms::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CMO*: Find out as much as you can.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks at the CTO:: CTO:  I think you would find her amenable to a dinner date.  ::smiles at him again::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO*: Sir it seems that the crew of this ship may have been removed after all.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, how could the crew be moved when the doctor sent authentic DNA readings of the bodies?

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  I don't know, but, they could have used a replicator to replicate the DNA and put it there.

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Thanks... I just don't want to mess up.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::sees that the FCO isn't responding well:: *CMO*: Doc when you are done there report to the bridge please.

CO_Loran says:
*OPS*:  Good work, Commander.  I thought they would have taken at least one person.  doesn't sound right for them to just kill everyone and not know how or what the experiments did.

CSO_Taliza says:
*OPS* Was there any missing data from the downloads?

CEO_Syren says:
::grabs a cup of coffee and sips it slowly while wondering if anyone had seen him talking to the console::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CO*: Sir you will have to thank the Doctor she is the one that found it.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CSO*: None that I can find.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Well, that rules out the pirates erasing whatever they absolutely needed for their plans, unless the Carne scientific community or mission control can tell us if there are missing experiments.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@*OPS*:  They probably took DNA samples and replicated some parts.  Just a guess.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> *CEO* Sir...we've hit a problem

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Grimaces at the thought of climbing ladders again:: *OPS*: Coming..

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Here, can I go with you?

OPS_McDuggle says:
@*CMO*: Good work Doctor.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CTO:  Please do!  ::Feels relieved::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Yes, I feel that it is time to contact the Senator now.

CEO_Syren says:
::sighs:: *P'Deere* Are you for real here? I thought you only needed to change some relays

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: You can go first, if you like, don't like to be down here unless I have too.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'll establish a channel, sir.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::notices McDuggle still standing near him and gets nervous::

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Carne: This is the USS Arondight to the Carne Senate.  We have retrieved the Salieas, but we are need of assistance with possible cause.  Come in please.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Nods to Ryan and walks out the room to the nearest ladder:: CTO:  You know...one nice thing on this ship...it's so "quiet" here.  Telepathically speaking.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Senator Melan appears on screen.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> *CEO* Yes but...we're out of relays

Host Sen_Melan says:
COM: CSO: What can I do for you?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows  behind, and chuckles:: CMO: I wouldn't know.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::stops typing and looks at McDuggle::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CTO:  Well, sometimes it gets tiring hearing so many voices all the time.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::moves back over to the consoles and starts look through the info again::

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Melan: Senator, we have received information from the Salieas of some experiments, and we have found some synthesized bodies.  I'm going to transmit the experiment list.  Could you see if anything is missing?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::starts walking backwards to the wall, away from McDuggle heading for the bridge exit::

CEO_Syren says:
::punches up a supply list:: *P'Deere* My terminal shows two crates of relays in cargo bay one

Host SEN_Melan says:
# COM:CSO: Synthesized bodies??  What are you talking about?  Where are out people?

CSO_Taliza says:
::transmits the experiment list to Sen. Melan::

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Melan: We think a group of pirates have kidnapped them.

Host SEN_Melan says:
# COM: CSO: Kidnapped!  Where is your Captain, I demand to speak to him!

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere> ::hesitates:: *CEO* Their the wrong size Sir ::quickly adds:: But we can make some in three hours

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Melan: I also have suspicion that they may have taken some experiments.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::walks off the bridge, starts moving through the hallways::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::sees the FCO backing toward the exit:: FCO: Sit down Lt.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Climbs up ladders:: CMO: Yeah, I can imagine... you don't ever... spy.. on people.... do you?  Or can you?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, you're on.

CO_Loran says:
::looks back at the viewscreen::  COM: Melan:  Sir, it appears that the ship is intact and in good working order.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Giggles quietly:: CTO:  No, I never spy on anyone.  Maybe if the captain said to, but not generally.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::hears a voice which seems to be calling for him in his back and starts moving faster::

Host SEN_Melan says:
# COM:CO: Damn the ship Captain, ships are replaceable.  Where are my people?

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Not "generally"?  What’s that supposed to mean?  ::Grins::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Climbs last ladder and enters the bridge.  Immediately "feels"  the FCO's heightened emotions again and looks over at him::

CEO_Syren says:
*P'Deere* Wonderful...just wonderful. Crewman I want those repairs done in four hours and nothing short of your death should stand in the way. Keyser Out!

CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  It would seem, that the pirates have taken your crew as well as downloaded all the information about your experiments that were taking place on the Salieas.

Host SEN_Melan says:
# COM: CO: You must find them Captain, you must get them back.  I've met with the families of the missing, it is a horrible sight.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Looks at McDuggle worried:: OPS: What's going on?

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Sees the FCO moving faster:: FCO: No not that way. :: grabs for the FCO::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Doc Glad to see you we may need to sedate the FCO.

CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  We were going to do that, but, we need more information on what was going on there so that we can narrow our search for them.  How many experiments where being done on the Salieas?

CEO_Syren says:
::groans loudly:: Self: This isn't my day. I mean, what else could happen

Host SEN_Melan says:
# ::tries to settle down:: COM:CO: I'm not sure.  ::is seen talking to someone off screen::  My aide is sending you the list if you didn't already have it.

Host SEN_Melan says:
ACTION: The CSO receives the info and finds all experiments present.

CSO_Taliza says:
::watches panel:: CO: I've got it.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Hates to do that, but removes the hypospray and punches in a low sedative dose.  Comes near the FCO:: FCO:  Patton, what is wrong?  Please tell us.  I don't want to sedate you!

CTO_Williams says:
@::Grabs his phaser, and sets it to stun:: Bridge Crew: Stun anyone?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Everything's here.  They didn't erase anything.

CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  We need to have an accurate account, even ones that were classified.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CTO: Not in less we have to.

CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Melan: Senator, could you ask one of your scientists to call me directly to discuss any possible connections between the pirates and the experiments?  I think there might be a link.

Host SEN_Melan says:
# COM: CO: We do not classify our experiments here Captain.  Knowledge is free to all those that would have it.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::looks at the CTO and CMO moving in on him as well as the OPS reaching for him lets go a slight scream and makes a jump for the door::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Levels his phaser:: OPS: Should I?!!

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CTO: Stun him.

CEO_Syren says:
::grabs another cup of coffee before he heads out into the chaos that is his engine room::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Blasts the FCO::

CO_Loran says:
COM: Melan:  Acknowledged.  What do you want us to do with the Salieas?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::misses the door opening and slams into the wall::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CMO: Doc keep an eye on him please.

CTO_Williams says:
@:: Shoulders his phaser, and waits for everyone else to close in ::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Kneels beside the FCO::

Host SEN_Melan says:
# ::nods an answer to the CSO::  COM:CO: Leave it where it sits, just find those people.   Melan out.
