Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< BEING MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

CO_Loran says:
::sits in his ready room waiting for Lt. Williams to show up for his hearing::

XO_McDuggle says:
::on bridge going over reports::

CEO_Syren says:
::steps out of his office and grabs his EO:: P'Deere: Tell me again how locking people in luxurious quarters is punishment

CMO_Madson says:
:: Walks onto the bridge and looks for the captain, but sees only the XO and walks over to him::  XO: Do you have a minute?

CEO_Syren says:
<P'Deere> ::smiles:: CEO: It punishes us...anyway, I’ve finished the work-up on the containment fields. Nothing will get through 

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Yes Doctor. What can I do for you?

CMO_Madson says:
XO: I was wondering how soon we will be arriving at the planet, I have the medical staff on high alert and every member ready to go.  The epidemic, as described is massive.

CEO_Syren says:
::reads the PADD with the report:: P'Deere: You'll forgive me if I’m a little anxious since the last time but do it again...please ::P'Deere sighs but carries out the orders::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Energy usage is at 115% due to persistent use of high warp.

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: You have quite a wait as it will take about 61 hours to reach the planet.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief how are the warp engines holding out?

CEO_Syren says:
::hears a warning beep from the MSD and sees the energy spike then the accompanying chirp of the commbadge:: *XO* Not very well...we'll need to power down in a few minutes

CO_Loran says:
::continues to wait for the CTO::  Self:  First the problem with the Misery, now, he can't even show up for his hearing on the matter.

CMO_Madson says:
::Sighs and frowns::  XO:  Do you know if there is a central government on the planet and who heads it?  I could use more epidemiological history on this virus beforehand.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger chief I will take us down to warp 6 for a few minutes.

CEO_Syren says:
::checks the coolant levels just in case:: *XO*: Thank you sir

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: I am not for sure. You could check the files at OPS if you like.

XO_McDuggle says:
FCO Haluc: Take the ship to warp 6.

XO_McDuggle says:
<FCO Haluc> XO: roger sir.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight drops to warp 6 and power usage falls to 85%

CEO_Syren says:
::searches around for an available officer to do some preventative maintenance but finds no one:: Self(in a different voice): Pick me sir...I’ll do it

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Thank you.  I will check.  ::Goes to sit at the operations console and punches up information on Noit Cefni.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I need to know when we can go back to warp 8.5

CO_Loran says:
Computer:  Location of Lt. Williams.

CEO_Syren says:
::grabs a kit and begins working on the engines:: *XO* An hour at best...I’ll try to work faster

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks further to see where the medical facilities are and if they have a central location for medical information::

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Roger Chief, try and make it sooner please.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO* after that we can do 12 hours at 9.8 but we'll need to drop to 7 for another bout of maintenance

CEO_Syren says:
::covers his badge:: Self: yeah that's likely ::speaks louder and moves his hand:: *XO* :As you command 

CMO_Madson says:
::Waits for McDuggle to finish speaking with the CEO::  XO: Sir, there is a Planetary Governor named Miles Cooper and it looks as if there is a central medical area.

CSO_Taliza says:
::steps off TL onto bridge:: XO: Cmdr., I've just got out from a long meeting with the science department.  I've been trying to brief the department on what we are to do in our mission, but Mike and Ike kept asking questions.

CO_Loran says:
<Computer> CO:  Lt. Williams is in his quarters.

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: You can try and contact them and see if they can give you any more information.

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Cmdr., get with the Doctor and see what you can help her with.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, sir.  CMO: Need to do this at my station, a science lab or down in sickbay?

CEO_Syren says:
::starts a diagnostic then begins changing a couple worn parts...Notices a lone officer sitting by himself:: Martin: Crewman get over here and help me with this  

CO_Loran says:
::continues to sit in his RR waiting on Lt. Williams::  Self:  Well, this is appearing to be another strike against him on this incident if you can't even attend his hearing.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: An information packet from Noit Cefni arrives... it is interactive via the EMH program.

CMO_Madson says:
::Opens a comm channel to Noit Cefni::  Noit Cefni: COM:  Arondight to Noit Cefni, requesting information, please respond.

CSO_Taliza says:
::sees a transmission from Noit Cefni:: CMO: Doc, we have received something.

CEO_Syren says:
::concentrates on the diagnostic readouts while the Crewman does the rest of the work:: 

CMO_Madson says:
::No response.  Sees a message come in::  XO:  Sir, just received a packet from the planet.  Directions say it's an interactive EMH program.  I'll take it to the holodeck if that would be okay?

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Roger Doctor please keep me informed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: I'll join you in that briefing.

CEO_Syren says:
::makes a few adjustments while monitoring the Crewman's work:: Martin: How much longer crewman?

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Yes sir.  ::Routes the information packet to the holodeck and then leaves, heading for the holodeck::

CSO_Taliza says:
::goes with CMO to TL::

CO_Loran says:
::decides to look over some of the information about what is going on in the Heli system::

CEO_Syren says:
<Martin> ::pauses a second to consider:: CEO: 20 minutes sir

CTO_Williams says:
::Ryan has just finished his hurried walk from his room.  He now stands outside the RR, and takes one last deep breath.  He waits a moment and then rings the door::

CMO_Madson says:
::Exits the TL and heads down to the holodeck eager to get more info on the epidemic::

CSO_Taliza says:
::while walking in corridor:: CMO: Joanna, Shehanna told me what happened in sickbay when that virus was spreading down there.

Host EMH says:
ACTION: The circuits the crewman is working on suddenly spark and begin to smoke.

CO_Loran says:
::hears a chime at his door::  Whomever:  Enter.

CEO_Syren says:
Martin: Then I’ll leave you to it...::hears the sparks:: Or maybe not

CEO_Syren says:
::pushes the officer out of the way:: Martin: What did you do!!

XO_McDuggle says:
Dragoes: keep an eye on the commination that the doctor sent and make sure she get the response when it comes in.

CMO_Madson says:
::Groans when she hears that comment:: CSO:  Definitely not a good subject!  ::Enters the holodeck::  Computer: Begin simulation from packet from Noit Cefni.

XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> : Roger sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Sorry doc.

Host EMH says:
ACTION: The EMH materializes in front of the two officers.

CTO_Williams says:
::Walks in briskly:: CO: Sir, Reporting as you asked... Sir!  ::Stands at attention::

Host EMH says:
CMO/CSO: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

CEO_Syren says:
::carefully surveys the circuits, making sure not to get burned or shocked:: Martin: Get me P'Deere...right now

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: There's an epidemic in the Heli sector.  Dr. Madson uploaded information into your database that can help us.

CO_Loran says:
::doesn't look up from his display, but, knows who it is from the voice::  CTO:  Lt., glad you could finally attend your hearing.  ::pushes a button to scroll the text::  Stand at ease.

CMO_Madson says:
EMH:  Do you have a simulation for us from the planet, Noit Cefni?  If so, please begin at once.

CTO_Williams says:
::At Ease:: CO: Sorry sir, I was having after-effects from the med's....

Host EMH says:
CSO: One moment please while I access the files.  ::tilts his head to the side for a moment.::  I am now up to date with the events that are transpiring on Noit Cefni.

CEO_Syren says:
<P'Deere> ::rushes up to see the CEO working at the burned out circuits:: CEO: You called sir...

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: As you are giving your presentation, look into your medical history databanks to see if there is anything that compares to the Noit Cefni situation?

Host EMH says:
<Yeoman Watley>  ::walks over to the XO and hands him a padd::  XO: I was asked to bring this to you, sir.  ::smiles on the last word::

CMO_Madson says:
::Paces impatiently around the EMH::

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere: This is your specialty right? ::the Bolian nods:: P'Deere: Good then you have 15 minutes to make it right or the XO will be on our backs

CO_Loran says:
::continues to go over the data that was originally sent to the Arondight about the Heli system::  CTO:  I'm going to let you tell your side of the story first, Lt.

Host EMH says:
CSO: The Doctors at the NCMC have extensively searched the Starfleet Medical Database but without sufficient information no connections can be made.

XO_McDuggle says:
:: takes the padd from the yeoman and smiles back questioningly:: Yeoman : Thank you.

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: So you can't compare Noit Cefni to any other outbreak?

CTO_Williams says:
CO: May I begin then, sir?

Host EMH says:
<Yeoman Watley>  ::continues to smile as she turns and slowly walks away::

CO_Loran says: 
CTO: Go ahead, Lt. ::doesn't look up from his display:: 

CMO_Madson says:
 EMH: Please tell me what measures the planet has taken to control the epidemic.

Host EMH says:
CMO: Standard quarantine protocols are in place in each of the hospitals however they seem to be ineffective.

CEO_Syren says:
<P'Deere> ::frowns skeptically:: CEO: With help...get me a phase transducer and a laser welder

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Have we thought about if there were other colonists on that planet that aren't either human or Cait?

CTO_Williams says:
CO: While at duty, I Noticed the Doctor was acting strange.  I was then very sure when she started to approach me, and tried to get close to me.  I then tried to fight her off without too much damage.  While I tried to dodge back, delay her, and subdue her, the Misery blew up.  I do take responsibility for the loss sir, but I was being attacked at the time.

CMO_Madson says:
::Her voice rising a bit, wondering what this holograph does know::  EMH:  The hospitals?!  That is not sufficient!  ::Takes a deep breath::  And do you know what procedures for dealing with contaminated equipment has been used?

Host EMH says:
CMO: Standard epidemic procedures are in place.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Is that all you have to say about the incident?

XO_McDuggle says:
::wonder what the yeoman was smiling about and starts reading the Padd::

CEO_Syren says:
::sends the inept Crewman to find the tools:: Crewman: And please bring the right tools...I won't be responsible for my reaction if you don't

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: Are the only affected patients purely human?  Also, are there other non-Cait and non-human races present at the planet?

Host EMH says:
ACTION: The padd contains a time and place...  "Tonight, 8pm, quarters 453"

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks at the CSO:: CSO:  I'm coming to that.  ::Looks at the EMH exasperatedly::  EMH:  Alright! Is there anything else at all that you can tell us?  Anything?

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Yes sir.  I was attacked and distracted at the time, which left me away from my post.  I'm sorry sir.  ::Emotionless::

XO_McDuggle says:
::commits the time and quarters to memory and deletes the message::

Host EMH says:
::turns to the CSO::  CSO: All known cases are of pure human lineage.  There are no other species than those specified on Noit Cefni.

CO_Loran says:
::pushes a button on the display and turns it off, then, turns his head to look at the CTO and looks sternly at him::  CTO:  At least you are taking some blame for the incident.

Host EMH says:
::turns to the CMO::  CMO: This program was written to be interactive.  If you wish a full verbal report of the information received, it will take approximately 134.254 hours.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Chief am I able to go to warp 9.8 yet?

CEO_Syren says:
::scans the damage with his tricorder and advises P'Deere as best he can::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Yes sir, I am.

CSO_Taliza says:
::rolls eyes at EMH's response:: Self: You asked for it.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO* No sir...we have a problem ::glares at the crewman:: 20 minutes more perhaps

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Did the doctor have a weapon that you would have been afraid of?

CMO_Madson says:
EMH:  Then begin, I have nothing else to do.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : 10 would be better Chief.

CTO_Williams says:
::Stares ahead, not looking at the Captain:: CO: Sir, the threat of foreign pathogens are worse then any visible weapon.

CEO_Syren says:
::groans:: *XO* What if I had said 40...what would you have said then...um sir

Host EMH says:
::nods::  CMO: Patient 000 was discovered at 2045 on Stardate 10308.01.  He was a pure human age 45 prior in perfect health.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  To our knowledge, that virus was not one to kill people.  The only harm was to get a little frisky with someone.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: I would still have said 10.

CEO_Syren says:
::rolls his eyes:: *XO* : 10 it is

CSO_Taliza says:
::Decides to get comfortable:: Computer: Create a La-Z-Boy recliner, circa 1998.

Host EMH says:
CMO:  He reported to hospital center M'tow complaining on stomach cramps.  He was examined and as no cause was found, he was put under observation.

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Thank you Chief.

CEO_Syren says:
P'Deere: you have 10 minutes more...I don't think the XO will take much more of my stalling

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, the pathogen was not studied in depth, for all we knew, the pathogen could have killed the person off after a few hours.

Host EMH says:
CMO:  At 2235 Patient 000 lost consciousness.  Thorough scans were performed but only an elevation of T-Cells was found.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  But, it would not have killed you off in the few seconds it would have taken you to target the crew of the Misery and beam them aboard the Arondight, now, would it?

Host EMH says:
ACTION: The requested recliner appears.  It is Kelly green in color.

CEO_Syren says:
<P'Deere> CEO: I'll have it in 7 sir...if you find me a new piece of conduit

Host EMH says:
CMO:  The patient remained unconscious after all attempts to be revived by the medical staff.

CSO_Taliza says:
::sees the recliner and sits in it, extending the legs, but keeping upright::

Host EMH says:
CMO: Patient 000 expired at 0415 on 10308.09

CEO_Syren says:
::gets the conduit himself and hands it to P'Deere:: P'Deere: 5 minutes more

Host EMH says:
CMO: Patient 001 was discovered at 1008 on Stardate 10308.02.   She was pure human, age 19.  Only prior condition was ragweed allergy.

CMO_Madson says:
EMH:  Pause.  Did the organs shut down completely and which ones?

Host EMH says:
CMO: She reported to a private clinic in Greenburg.  ::pauses::

CEO_Syren says:
::watches P'Deere weld the conduit in place then do a quick inspection before finally closing the access hatch:: 

CTO_Williams says:
CO: No sir, not that we had known of at the time.

Host EMH says:
::retrieves information::  CMO: Damage was extensive to the liver, heart and spleen as well as to general tissue damage throughout.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  It is our duty as Federation officers to protect and save those that we can, even if it means our death in the process.  You could have saved them, but, from the records, you had your eyes closed from the first command to beam them aboard until the second time I commanded you to beam them aboard.

CEO_Syren says:
::turns to chronometer and watches the remaining time tick off. He presses his commbadge at the last second:: *XO* Your engines are ready Sir

CMO_Madson says:
EMH: Was hemorrhaging extensive?

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Roger Chief, I knew you could do it.

Host EMH says:
CMO: Bleeding was kept under control by the medical team.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO* You're too kind sir 

XO_McDuggle says:
FCO Haluc: Take us to warp 9.8.

XO_McDuggle says:
<Haluc> XO: Roger sir :: takes ship to warp 9.8::

Host EMH says:
ACTION: The Arondight jumps to warp 9.8

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Chief you said 12 hours at 9.8 right

Host EMH says:
CMO: Until organ degradation was too great.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO* Yes sir then 12 at warp 7

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: Doctor, other than the victims were fully-human, was there any connection between each patient?

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : Roger Chief and thank you.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO* Anything for you commander ::closes the comm and begins laughing::

Host EMH says:
::looks to the CSO::  CSO: Please restate question.

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: I mean did they have any other genetic connections, anything else that would make them susceptible to the disease other than the fact they were fully-human?

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Lt., upon final review of the records and your testimony, I find that your lack of action at least caused the crew of the Misery to blow up with the ship.  I am hear by putting a reprimand on your record for these actions and while off duty, you will be confined to quarters for the next week.

Host EMH says:
CSO: No genetic connection has been found at this time other than species.

CMO_Madson says:
EMH: To reiterate...No half Caitian people have succumbed to the disease?

Host EMH says:
::turns to the doctor:: CMO: That is correct.

CSO_Taliza says:
EMH: ...and we are not sure what the affect is to other non-human races?

Host EMH says:
::turns::  CSO: No testing has been conducted at this time.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: I have an idea, but I'll get with you on that after we're done here.

Host EMH says:
