Host Bafii says:
Prologue:_ As the plague continues unchecked on the planet below, the Arondight senior officers meet in the conference room.

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

XO_McDuggle says:
::waits as senior staff takes seats::

CSO_Taliza says:
::takes seat near XO::

FCO_Chottu says:
::stumbles into the conference room, falls into a seat::

CEO_Syren says:
::takes a seat as far away from the XO and CMO as possible without drawing attention to the fact that he was avoiding sitting near them::

CMO_Madson says:
::enters ready to argue so she can do something constructive, takes a seat by the CEO::

CTO_Williams says:
::Walks in, straightens his uniform, and gruffly takes his seat at the table, beside the CMO::

OPS_Chatters says:
::steps into the room and quietly takes a seat near the CEO and CMO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::sees CMO and CEO sit near each other, wishes he had a referee's whistle::

CMO_Madson says:
::looks over at Lt. Chottu, gets up and gets a couple donuts on a plate and sits it down by Chottu::  FCO:  For your health...eat up!  ::Walks back over and sits by Keyser::

OPS_Chatters says:
::nods to the nearby officers and smiles slightly::

CMO_Madson says:
::leans over and whispers and smiles:: CTO:  Good to see you out.

XO_McDuggle says:
All: Ok everyone we need to go over some information from the planet.

FCO_Chottu says:
::remains mainly motionless::

CSO_Taliza says:
::perks up at XO's call to attention::

CTO_Williams says:
::Coughs:: CMO: Hey...

CEO_Syren says:
::makes a mental note to be the last to enter next time then focuses on the XO:: 

CMO_Madson says:
::gives her attention to Cmdr. McDuggle::

XO_McDuggle says:
::sees that the FCO is still a little groggy and slides a plate of doughnuts towards him::

CTO_Williams says:
::Sighs, and waits for the info to start::

OPS_Chatters says:
::quietly watches the plate of donuts slide by her::

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: I briefly saw a report about a freighter that has been caught in the planets quarantine?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: You did, sir.  According to the NCMC, a freighter with several different races and hybrids had landed on the planet.

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: And how long has the freighter been here?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Only those crewmembers who are fully-human showed any ill affects from the plague.  Those of other races and the hybrids had no symptoms.  I would say the freighter has been there about two weeks.

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: thank you.

CEO_Syren says:
::wonders if any trill were on that freighter::

OPS_Chatters says:
::makes a short notation on the padd she carried to the meeting::

CMO_Madson says:
XO/CSO:  Sirs?

CSO_Taliza says:
::looks over to CMO::

CTO_Williams says:
::Leans back and listens::

XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief, according to my reports the planet has much the same capabilities that we have?

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: I will get to you in a moment Doctor.

CEO_Syren says:
XO: Yes sir, almost the same technologies that we have

CMO_Madson says:
::sits impatiently...wishing they had more information::

XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: And even then they haven't been able to contain the plague?

FCO_Chottu says:
::sits up slightly straighter and manages to grab a donut::

OPS_Chatters says:
::looks over at the doctor, sensing the impatience in her body language::

CEO_Syren says:
::smiles softly:: XO: Well no...but that's probably because the plague had started to spread before their containment protocols were in place. They wouldn't be able to contain it then

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: You did say that only pure humans onboard the freighter have been infected?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I did, sir.  The hybrids and the non-human crewmen were fine.

CMO_Madson says:
::shifts in her seat again::

OPS_Chatters says:
::is really happy that she is Betazoid just now with talk of this plague affecting humans::

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doctor I know what you want but we are not beaming anything up from the planet.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Sir, that's not what I was going to ask.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, how about the doctor and I beam down to the NCMC?

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Then what is your question?

CTO_Williams says:
::Strokes his chin methodically::

CMO_Madson says:
::Thinks finally...::  XO/CSO/CEO:  I have two questions...or need specific info.  One, I need an exact list of the species aboard that freighter.  You can never rule out medically a species unless you have seen direct evidence for each one.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: I can obtain that from the NCMC records.

CMO_Madson says:
XO/CSO:  Two, Lt. Syren, can you tell me if the planet has an electron microscope or an electron resonance scanner...the difference is important.

CMO_Madson says:
CSO: Thank you.  It will help rule out contagion’s for specific races.

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: You need to get that.

OPS_Chatters says:
::shifts her feet and repositions herself in the chair::

CMO_Madson says:
XO/CSO:  If this happens to be a virus, the electron resonance scanner would be needed.

CEO_Syren says:
::checks his PADD for the info:: CMO: I believe there is an Electron resonance scanner at the Medical center. Ours is more sophisticated

CSO_Taliza says:
::uses the PADD to get the information from the NCMC records on the freighter crew:: XO: Sir, I have the crew manifest, and it's a doozy.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  One more thing...

CMO_Madson says:
::nods at Keyser::

CTO_Williams says:
ALL: Something I've noticed... with the increasing spreading of the virus... the violent tensions between the humans and Caitians has increased dramatically... something has to be done to quell their fears.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Just because the people on the freighter haven't caught the disease wouldn't mean they are immune.  How many have gone planet side?  What is the incubation period?  Etc

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: You should be able to get that from NCMC also right.

FCO_Chottu says:
::catches something about tensions between Caitians and Humans and shakes his head a bit hoping to be awake enough to catch a bit more::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Got it already, sir.

OPS_Chatters says:
::checks the latest data on the numbers on her padd:: XO: Excuse me sir, I have the latest report from the planet on the numbers.

XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Go ahead.

OPS_Chatters says:
XO: Figures show 35,000 reported cases, and .....::pauses for a moment:: 13,500 have died.

CMO_Madson says:
::looks at OPS::

XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Thank you.

XO_McDuggle says:
All: Ok I have made a decision.

OPS_Chatters says:
::places the padd on the table glancing over at the doctor sadly::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: The freighter's air supply was using the same as the planet's, so the freighter was not sealed.  Everyone aboard would have contracted the disease somehow.  Again, only full humans came down with symptoms.

CMO_Madson says:
::Shakes her head at the CSO::  Thinks:  If the vector for contagion isn't airborne?

CMO_Madson says:
XO:   Yes sir.  ::gives her attention, albeit still frustrated::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Just a footnote, sir, the freighter is very large, and just about every Federation species is represented.

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO/CSO: Doctor, Cmdr., I am going to let you beam down with a small medical staff. How ever there will be no humans in your group and you should ask for volunteers as any one beaming down will not be able to beam back up till this over.

CSO_Taliza says:
::not sure how to break this to Shehanna::

CEO_Syren says:
::surprised at the XO's decision but stays quiet::

XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: I need you to assemble a security team to beam down to the planet and use the same restriction that I just gave the Doctor and the CSO.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Sir?

XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Also no Caitians are to be beamed down.

CSO_Taliza says:
::confused by that statement:: XO: Commander, if I may add that the Caitians are immune to the disease.

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doctor?

CTO_Williams says:
::Nods:: XO: Right...

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Sir, I have not asked to go planet side.  I will do it, but I will point out that the freighter only gives some evidence that pure blood humans are impervious to whatever this is.  I want to state that I feel it is safer to beam a small sample aboard. But I will go down if you disagree with that.

CTO_Williams says:
*Alpha Team *: Team, I need you prepped now.... TR1 in 5 minutes!  ::Notes that there are no Caitians in his Alpha team::

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Cmdr. I feel that having Caitians on the teams could cause tension between some of the residents.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Doctor, every Federation-member race was on that ship, not just Caits and humans.

CMO_Madson says:
CSO:  But if this is not airborne?

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: That the best information I have now.

CTO_Williams says:
::Thinks:: *Alpha *: Oh, DiCarlo, your out.. also, any pure-strained humans are out... I need mix-species or non-humans.  Make a team out of Alpha and Beta teams.  Out.

OPS_Chatters says:
::sighs and sits back a little listening to the staff make the important decisions::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: The freighter's air supply was not sealed from the planet's fresh air.  It has to be airborne.

XO_McDuggle says:
All: you have your orders lets get to it.

CTO_Williams says:
<Alpha>*CTO*: Hm... okay sir.  Might take a little longer to get the Bravo team together.  We're out.

XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Keep an open channel to the teams and make sure that they get any thing they need.

CMO_Madson says:
XO: Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
::stands up and goes to CMO:: CMO: Doc, you and I, as some of your new medical officers, will be OK.  Just that Ryan, Shehanna and a few others will not be.

CEO_Syren says:
::collects his PADD and heads out the door quickly::

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: What Doctor? :: getting a little upset with the Doctor::

OPS_Chatters says:
XO: Aye Commander.

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO>::Heads to TR1 and waits to watch his team beam out::

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Since the freighter indicates the disease is airborne, I would recommend anyone going planet side wear protection to filter their breathing.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: EVA suits?

CMO_Madson says:
CSO:  No, not complete EVA suits.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Re-breathers?

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Good ideal Doctor.

TO_Ferguson says:
Team: Okay team!  I'm Betazoid, you people know who you are!  If you are human, your out!  You don't want to go!  No arm!  Phaser rifles at ready!  ::Grabs a rifle and utility belt and heads out, followed by his 5 man team::

CEO_Syren says:
::enters TL and states his destination:: Computer, Main Engineering ::leans back and enjoys the ride down

OPS_Chatters says:
:;heads back to the operations console and prepares to monitor the away teams::

XO_McDuggle says:
::Gets up and heads for the Bridge::

TO_Ferguson says:
::The 6 man team arrives at the TR:: CTO: Okay, we are ready to go!  Transporter Officer:: Beam us out!

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO>: TO: Good luck!

TO_Ferguson says:
Team: Remember, we are to help the planetary Governor as best we can!

XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Open a channel to the planets Governor.

 ATO_Phaser says:
:;rushes into the transporter room:: TO: Sorry I'm late sir.

CMO_Madson says:
::gets up and walks with the CSO::  CSO:  Will rebreathers filter out things as small as viruses?

Host Bafii says:
<OPS> ::opens a channel::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: The Vulcan Science Academy has invented rebreathers filters that can filter out something as small as a quark.

XO_McDuggle says:
COM: PGOV: Cooper this is the Arondight.

ATO_Phaser says:
::throws her equipment bag over her shoulder and awaits transport::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the last of the TAC team assembles, they are beamed down to the reception area of the Planetary Governor's office.

TO_Ferguson says:
ATO: DO YOU HAVE A MAJOR MISFUNTION!! NOW MOVE!  Transporter officer: Beam us out!

TO_Ferguson says:
::The TO, while Betazoid, is also very militaristic::

CEO_Syren says:
Status report somebody ::walks up to the main console and monitors the situation on the Bridge as an EO babbles on about the arboretum's water system::

Host PGOV_Cooper says:
@ COM: XO: Yes, Commander.  ::smiles tiredly::

ATO_Phaser says:
@::materializes next to Ferguson and looks around slowly::

CMO_Madson says:
CSO:  Good, because we are going to need it.  ::Takes the CSO's arm and pulls him closer::  Cal, please be careful about volunteering and making assumptions about medical issues or it might end up killing us, okay?  ::smiles to take out any offense::  I know you want to help them as much as I do.

FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the room near empty, pushes himself up via the table and heads for the nearest TL::

TO_Ferguson says:
@Team: Okay.. lets go. ::Walks on::

ATO_Phaser says:
@TO: I have the ship on open com link sir.

XO_McDuggle says:
COM: PGOV: We are beaming a security team down to help you with your restless planet problem as well as a medical staff to help with the plague.

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Jo, I'm doing this out of scientific curiosity.  I know you were frustrated when Cmdr. McDuggle wouldn't let you beam something up, so it was only best we beam down.

FCO_Chottu says:
TL: Crew quarters please.

Host PGOV_Cooper says:
@ ::looks relieved as if they cure has already been found:: COM: XO: Oh thank you Commander!  This will bring hope to our planet.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ATO: Why?!

XO_McDuggle says:
COM:PGOV: We said that we are here to help Arondight out.

CMO_Madson says:
::shakes her head::  CSO:  I'm not talking about that.  Please consult with me first on actions so I can okay them since this is a deadly situation.

FCO_Chottu says:
::walks out of the TL as it stops then heads over to his quarters and lets himself fall onto his bed::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Yes, doctor.  We should have Shehanna be in sickbay to coordinate things up here.

ATO_Phaser says:
@TO: Ensign Chatters was to monitor us at all times sir, so she advised me to keep my com link open. Is there a problem sir?

XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO *: Chief, make sure that the transporters stay up so we can beam thing down, however nothing is to be beamed up.

CEO_Syren says:
*XO*: Setting it up right now sir

CMO_Madson says:
CSO:  Yes, I will be calling her.  Dr. Cadogen and Dr. Lennox will be coming to the planet.  Dr. York will also work with Dr. Desai.  Please have the rebreathers ready at one of the transporter rooms and I'll meet you there.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Sir?

TO_Ferguson says:
@ATO: No, crewman!  Maintain position.  Do you know were to find the Governor from here?

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: Can I talk to Shehanna before we go?

CEO_Syren says:
::interrupts the EO:: I want a transporter lock on the away team at all times. Set it up now. ::the EO leaves and Keyser returns to observing the Bridge::

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: Yes Doctor?

ATO_Phaser says:
@:;checks her tricorder:: TO: I have bio readings over there, to the right sir.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  If we need to beam up for any reason, remember, the CEO has the sickbay fitted with a containment field.  I'll do my best to get this plague stopped.

XO_McDuggle says:
CMO: As I said nothing gets beamed up till this is over.

CMO_Madson says:
CSO:  Only for a minute.  I'm heading for sickbay and then to the transporter room.

TO_Ferguson says:
@Team: Okay team, take positions here!  The ATO and I will talk to the governor.  Move!

CMO_Madson says:
XO: Right.  I mean after we find a cure.

TO_Ferguson says:
::Heads out::

CSO_Taliza says:
CMO: OK.  ::enters TL:: Computer: Deck 2, section 23B.

ATO_Phaser says:
@TO: The door sir...::reads the sign beside it:: Governor's Office. ::smiles and waits for the TO,  to go ahead of her::

XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Cmdr. You may want to check out the freighter also.

CMO_Madson says:
::heads for sickbay while COMing her medical staff with instructions::
