Host Bafii says:
Prologue:_ The Arondight continues to try and solve the puzzle of the plague.  Two teams have beamed down to the planet and are trying to help out in any way they can.

Host Bafii says:
The CMO and CSO continue to look into the effects and causes of the plague while the TO was made to wait while the Governor dealt with an emergency.

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

CSO_Taliza says:
@::arrives at the freighter and knocks on the airlock door::

XO_McDuggle says:
::on bridge going over reports and past science logs::

CO_Loran says:
::sits in his quarters for what seems like an eternity on meetings and briefings and every other kind of gathering of people to what has finally seemed like the end of them::

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams>::The officer is at the back of the bridge, at a customized station, and is pouring over records of recent events, trying to link events to the releasing of the pathogen::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Nothing happens after the knock

CSO_Taliza says:
@::opens the door, as it is ajar, and enters the freighter::

CNS_Madson says:
::sitting in his office looking over records before deciding to get up and head to the bridge::

CMO_Madson says:
@::Locates Dr. Scoll and walks over to him:: Scoll:  If someone could show my team to the research facility when you have a minute, we'll start researching this plague.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ATO: Crewman, go back with the rest of the men... I think I have things under control from here.  ::Turns around and waits at the door::

TO_Ferguson says:
@<ATO_Phaser> TO: Um... Okay sir.  ::Turns around and walks away, glad to be away from the crazy TO::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::looks around for crewmembers::

CO_Loran says:
::waits a few more moments to make sure there are no more calls for a meeting then gets up and walks out of his quarters and makes his way to the Turbolift::

Host DR_Scoll says:
@ CMO: Surely Doctor, this way.  Please, follow me.  ::trying to remain calm and polite around all of this death::

CNS_Madson says:
::steps onto the bridge and takes a look around::

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: I'm sorry, there are just so many things demanding my attention during this crisis.  Please, have a seat.  ::points to a chair::

CMO_Madson says:
@::follows Dr. Scoll, her eyes falling over the patients, dead and alive and feels the sadness from her other team members::

FCO_Chottu says:
Computer: Computer, get me a list of all Noit Cefni inhabitants, then, take out all those not Caitian or partially Caitian.

TO_Ferguson says:
@::Enters the door and takes a seat:: PG: Thank you sir, I thank you for taking the time to brief us on the situation more.

CO_Loran says:
TL:  Bridge.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::shouts:: All: Hello!  Anyone around?

CNS_Madson says:
XO: Is there anything I can do to be of assistance.

CMO_Madson says:
@~~~<Dr. Lennox> CMO:  How do they stand it?  I surely hope we can help...~~~

FCO_Chottu says:
::looks at the computer generated list:: Self: I'll need to sort more..

CO_Loran says:
::the TL takes the couple of deck trip to the bridge and opens the door::

CO_Loran says:
::steps off the bridge::  XO:  Report.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<Vulcan> CSO: May I help you... ::looks at collar:: commander?

XO_McDuggle says:
::sees the Counselor enter the bridge:: CNS: Cmdr. Could you take the engineer console and monitor the transporter.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: I am very thankful for your help.  We are a peaceful society, have been for generations.  We just don't have enough peace officers to keep everyone settled during this crisis.

CNS_Madson says:
::nods to the and takes a seat at the engineer console::

Host DR_Scoll says:
@ ::goes through a few sets of doors and leads the medical team to a small office that opens into the lab::  CMO: This is my personal office and lab, completely at your disposal while you are here.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Vulcan: Lt. Cmdr. Taliza Cal, chief science officer from the USS Arondight.  We're here to help cure this plague that has your ship and crew trapped here, and cure your human crewmen and the human colonists.  You are?

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Of course.  We have a 6 man team, including myself at your disposal.  We can also arrange for more men if needed.  Now... do you have any leads on the situation?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir we have 2 teams on the planet at this time. The doctor and the CSO are trying to find a cure for the plague as well as the cause and the CTO's team is helping with security.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<Vulcan> CSO: M'Tau, first mate of this freighter and acting commanding officer.  Our captain, Thomas Ling, has fallen ill from the plague after we landed.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: Wonderful ensign.  Well, it seems that this plague has played on the old animosities among the population.  ::gets up and paces behind his desk::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There is an incoming ship on LRS

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Good.  Any luck with those science projects the pirates stole?

CMO_Madson says:
@Scoll:  Thank you, doctor.  The first I thing I plan to do is use your electron microscope to look at samples of infected blood and tissue...unless you have seen to that already?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO : Not so far sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@M'Tau: Pleased to meet you, sub-commander.  Could you show me to your captain, if he's still alive?

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Is the teams holding up ok?

Host PG_Cooper says:
@TO: You see, in any community made of distinct parts, no matter how well blended, is easy to rip apart.  That is what is happening here.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: So far they have been doing fine Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<M'Tau> CSO: I'm not sure how receptive he'll be.  We have a dozen fully-human crew.  The rest are of other Federation races or hybrids.  None of the rest of us have exhibited any symptoms, while the pure-humans fell sick.  Six have already died, three are on their last legs.  The captain is among the final three.

FCO_Chottu says:
Computer: Just, show me any matches with the surname Nad'rr, include any families directly related to people with that name.

Host DR_Scoll says:
@ CMO: My full notes are on this console.  We have studied hundred of blood samples but we have as of yet been able to identify nothing.  ::runs a hand through his hair, a little bit longer than would be considered well kept::

XO_McDuggle says:
<Goode> CO: sir we have a ship on LRS.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: True... what efforts have been made to calm the population?  ::Leans forward and looks down at the floor, listening::

CSO_Taliza says:
@M'Tau: How long does he have?

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: There is a group, the Purity Pride that is using this plague as an agenda to attack anyone with Caitian blood, to cleanse our society as they say.

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams>::While reading notes, sees a blinking light:: CO: Sir... incoming ship.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  What is the ship?

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: They blame the Caitians for the disease?

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: We have been sending peace officers to their demonstrations, and at first that was enough.  However their numbers seem to be growing and there is little we can do.  Things are becoming violent.  ::falls into his chair::

CSO_Taliza says:
@<M'Tau> ::leads the CSO to sickbay and takes him to Capt. Ling:: CSO: We're not sure.  Lt. Cmdr. Taliza Cal, may I introduce Capt. Ling.

CMO_Madson says:
@::scowls slightly::  Scoll:  We have a more powerful microscope on the ship.  I'm sure it could find the agent responsible for this epidemic, but I am unable to return or send a sample.  But you have scanned tissue samples as well?

CSO_Taliza says:
@<Ling> CSO: Nice of you to come, commander. ::coughs::  How long before your people can find a cure to this damn plague.

FCO_Chottu says:
::looks at the still long list of names and sighs:: Self: I don't get it.. It's not a common name.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: Yes, they say since the Caits aren't strong enough to forcibly remove humans from our planet, that they devised this disease.

XO_McDuggle says:
<Goode> CO: Sir the incoming ship is a Klingon Freighter.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Open hailing frequencies.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Ling: The Arondight just got here.  I'm a one-man science team down here while our chief physician, Dr. Joanna Madson, is in the Noit Cefni Medical Center assisting there.  I'm to take blood samples from several different crew members.  Hopefully, we'll find how this disease is infecting only pure humans.

CO_Loran says:
::moves down to in front of his chair::

Host DR_Scoll says:
@ CMO: All our tests have yielding nothing.  Perhaps it would be best if you started with a blank slate.  I don't want our lack of progress to blind you to the correct direction to take. 

CMO_Madson says:
@*CEO*:  Keyser, could you beam down some more laser scalpels, rebreathers.. make sure they are encased...and one small box of supplies still in sickbay?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Yes sir :: opens Hailing frequencies::

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Hm... quite a problem.  How well equipped are you peace officers? And how many can you quickly mobilize if needed?  Have you tried to talk to the Purity Pride about this all?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I would advise them not to have any contact with the planet.

CO_Loran says:
COMM: Ship:  This is Captain Loran of the Federation starship Arondight.  You are entering a quarantined area, please state your business here.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<Ling> CSO: You can start with me.  ::coughs:: Then take a little from Mattel here, and one sample from random non-human or partially-human crew.  ::coughs harder:: Maybe that might give you some idea.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: Our officers carry phaser weapons, but they are limited to heavy stun.  ::pauses:: And they are all mobilized, I have no more resources to draw on.  

CMO_Madson says:
@::nods in agreement::  Scoll: Yes, I'm sure your staff were working under duress.  I'll leave to your patients then.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: As for the Purity Pride, we don't even know who runs the group.  My Minister of Information feels that they may know something about what is going on, but has been unable to find anything more.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Hm... you don't have any local militia?

Host DR_Scoll says:
@ CMO: Thank you Doctor.  I just hope we can find an answer soon.  ::takes a deep breath and then turns to leave, steeling himself for the death just outside these doors::

CSO_Taliza says:
@Ling: I'll get it done sir.  Let me inform my chief physician.  *CMO*: Taliza to Madson, come in doctor.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: The peace officers are all we have needed for generations.

TO_Ferguson says:
@:  PG: Haven't you tried to contact PP's leader?

CSO_Taliza says:
@<M'Tau> ::cringes at the "nickname" Ling uses for her::

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Madson here...any news?

Host PG_Cooper says:
$<Klingon Freighter> COM: CO: We have deliveries for the planet and we will land.  

TO_Ferguson says:
:@::Nods to the PG's statements, and tries to think of their first move:: PG: It's your planet your leading sir.  Do you have any ideas on what you would like us to do first?

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: I'm on the freighter and am about to take blood from the captain, a human named Ling, as well as several random non-human and partially-human crew.  When I'm done, what do you want me to do next?

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: As I said Ensign, we don't know who that is.  He is only referred to as Terran.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir if they land they will not be  allowed to take off again.

CO_Loran says:
COM: Freighter:  We cannot allow you to do that.  If you land, you will be stranded on the planet until this quarantine has been lifted, and I don't think you want to be stranded here.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Hm.. how suiting... "Terran".  ::Continually thinks::

CNS_Madson says:
::console starts beeping indicating a message routed through engineering:: *CMO*: I'm handling the engineering right now.  I'll get those supplies down there.  ::sends a signal for several officers to take the supplies to transporters and send them down::

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Access their logs and take a quick look at those who have entered the ship and left the ship.  You might get permission to scan their cargo bay.

Host PG_Cooper says:
$ <KF> COM: CO: We shall land, and we shall leave.  Now be gone.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<Ling> ::overhears the CMO:: *CMO*: Doctor, this is Capt. Ling, your science officer has my permission to do whatever he damn well pleases, as long as it helps ::coughs:: cure my crew.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: It may be best if you try and find them.  I don't have the manpower to spare.  But if you can find them, you might get some answers.

CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Put us between the planet and that freighter.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: Looks like we have cooperation.  I'll do that study and report my findings.  Taliza out.

CMO_Madson says:
@~~~ Dr. Lennox:  Take Rhonwen with you and you two set up studies for the blood and tissue samples.  Standard test protocol...two week accelerated time period...access the database for all non pure human race, one for blood and three for tissue samples: lung, heart , bowels. ~~~

CNS_Madson says:
::watches signals go off as the supplies are sent to the surface:: *CMO*: Your supplies should have just been beamed down.

CO_Loran says:
COM: KF:  If you try to land, you will be disabled.

Host PG_Cooper says:
$ <KF> COM: CO: I think not.

FCO_Chottu says:
<FCO_Welsch> CO: Aye sir.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Okay, sounds good.  Is there anything else you'd like to bring up before we move out?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Two Klingon BOPs uncloak around the freighter.  Their weapons are hot.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::takes a hypo and inserts an empty capsule, then extracts blood from the captain::

XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Lt. target the Klingon vessel.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Good.  Look for anything suspicious.  ::Under her breath::  Seems everyone is getting depressed.

Host PG_Cooper says:
@ TO: You have all the information I can give you Ensign.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Red alert.  Target the engines of the freighter first and disable them.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::takes out the capsule, inserts another one, then extracts about 10 CCs of blood from M'Tau::

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams> XO: Yes sir.... ::Gets up and moves to Tactical::  CO: Locked on... firing...

XO_McDuggle says:
::opens a channel to the BOPs :: CO: channels opened sir

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The BOPs begin firing on the Arondight, keeping her away from the freighter which is proceeding around to the other side of the planet.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ PG: Okay... Thank you for your time. ::Gets up and shakes the PG's hand, and moves out::

CMO_Madson says:
@Wade:  I'll need one cadaver in here.  ::motions to the table in the center of the lab::  Place them there.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  That isn't standard procedures for Klingons to send Birds of Prey along with freighters.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: No it is not,  there must be more to this.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Launch the fighters.

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Disable those Bird of Preys once the freighter has been disabled.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The BOPs continue their barrage and the freighter slips away.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CNS*: Scott, thanks.  Where's Syren?  Is he alright?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Sir fighters launched. :: launches fighters::

CO_Loran says:
Goode:  Track that freighter.

CNS_Madson says:
*CMO*: I'm not sure...

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir shall I open a channel to Klingon high command?

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams>CO: Of course.  ::Lets off a sufficient barrage of phaser fire at the freighter, and fires a few torpedoes at the BOP's::

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Yes.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::continues to extract blood from three hybrid humans, a Betazoid, a Ullian, a Klingon-Bajoran hybrid, an Andorian, and a Minaran::

FCO_Chottu says:
::frowns:: Computer: Computer, halt list.

XO_McDuggle says:
:: opens a channel to Klingon High command:: CO channel opened sir.

CMO_Madson says:
@Wade places the prone body on the table.  Dr. Madson is ready and starts a complete scan::

TO_Ferguson says:
::Returns to the Team:: Team: Okay team, we've got to find the leader of the resistance against Caitians.  They're called the Purity Pride, and have been moving against the Caitians.  Their leader is named as "Terran"  Our job is to find their leader, and hopefully come to a peaceful resolution.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The freighter got away undamaged and has disappeared from sensors.  The BOPs are taking heavy damage to their shields.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::goes to a science station and places the 10 vials on scanners, then accesses a computer to look at sensor logs::

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Shall I send some of the fighter after the freighter?

CO_Loran says:
<Computer> CO:  A message to the Klingon High Command will take 2.14 days to reach them.

FCO_Chottu says:
::sighs:: Self: Nah, nada, I'm going to have to find a more efficient way of going through these.

CO_Loran says:
Computer:  Cancel that.  Open a channel to Pacifica, Admiral Bafii.

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams> CO: Darn... that should have been enough.  ::Turns to the BOP's and focuses all weapons on them::

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Just disable their weapons, shields and engines.  I don't want to destroy them, yet.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The BOPs veer away and recloak.

CMO_Madson says:
@Wade:  If you could move the body to the autopsy lab, please.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::frowns:: *CMO*: Taliza to Madson...

CO_Loran says:
<Computer>:  Channel opened to Pacifica.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Yes, found something?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir the BOPs just recloaked.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: I'm afraid not.  The freighter's logs show nothing out of the ordinary.

CO_Loran says:
COM: Adm. Bafii:  This is Captain Loran.  We have a major situation here.

TO_Ferguson says:
<CTO_Williams>CO: Of course.

Host Bafii says:
# COM: CO: Go ahead Captain.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ Team: Okay team, move out.

CMO_Madson says:
@::walks into the autopsy area behind Wade::  Wade: Dr. Lennox and Cadogen will need two more bodies in their lab for tissue samples.  ::Wade nods and leaves::

CO_Loran says:
COM: ADM:  We just had a Klingon freighter break quarantine.  They also brought two BOP with them for defense so they could land on the planet.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: I have 10 vials of blood on the freighter's scanners to figure something out.  Shall I bring them over to the NCMC?

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Yes, send a squadron down to find them.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Have you taken a look in their cargo bay.  Look for any small packages.

Host Bafii says:
@ ::his brow furrows::  COM: CO: That doesn't make sense...  I can see if I can get any information for you.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: Small packages?  How small?

CMO_Madson says:
@::Starts the wafer thin dissections as she speaks::

CO_Loran says:
COM: ADM:  Thank you Admiral.  However, if they do try to leave the planet, we will have to take more violent actions against that freighter.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  As small as one foot or less...even an inch square.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I would advise against sending the fighter into the atmosphere.

Host Bafii says:
# COM: CO: Do what you must to maintain the quarantine Captain.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: What's an inch?

TO_Ferguson says:
@ ::The teams moves out and hits the streets patrolling for info::

CO_Loran says:
COM: ADM:  Thank you Admiral.  Loran out.

CO_Loran says:
CNS:  Inform that away teams of the Klingon freighter on the ground.

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION: It isn't long before the TO's team hears of rumors of a Purity Pride demonstration that night outside the NCMC

CMO_Madson says:
@::sighs impatiently::  *CSO*: You're a science officer and you don't know conversions?  Really, Cal!

CO_Loran says:
XO:  And why not, Commander?  You just suggested it.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: I've only known standard metric measurements all my life.  I can guess what a foot is.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CNS*:  Scott, are you busy up there?  Since you're not pure human, they could really use help...there's only thousands in need of comfort.  Might ask the captain.

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Tiny, how's that?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I suggested sending the fighter after the freighter but if it has entered the atmosphere sending the fighters would not be a good ideal as they would have to stay on the planet as well.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: Yes, doctor.  Taliza out.  ::closes comm badge:: M'Tau: Do you have any small packages, ranging between 4 and 900 square centimeters?

CNS_Madson says:
::gets up and looks at the Captain:: CO: Sir, my sister is recommending that I go to the surface because I'm not purely human and that there are people who need help.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  The fighters are sealed from a vacuum.  The crews also are wearing flight suits.  I don't think they would contract the plague.

TO_Ferguson says:
@ Team: Okay team, I think we can safely set up tonight at the NCMC.  Lets get a few hours break before now.  Team, move out!

CMO_Madson says:
@::takes one of the brain samples and mounts it carefully on a prepared slide then inserts it into the electron microscope::

TO_Ferguson says:
@::The team moves to the NCMC, and sets up non-chalant positions, and then goes off to eat

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: That may be true sir but we still are not sure how the plague is spread and if they are allowed to return to the ship after being in the planets atmosphere they may infect the ship.

CSO_Taliza says:
@<M'Tau> CSO: Not that I know of.  I can show you.  Right this way.

CO_Loran says:
CNS:  I had been thinking of sending someone down there to take charge of both teams and to be the main link between them and the ship.  Request granted, Commander.  Take charge of both teams and inform them about the Klingons.  Take some extra weapons if you think you will need them because of the Klingons.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Recall most of the fighters, but, keep two squadrons on patrol at all times, keep the rest on standby.  Rotate them at different intervals to keep the Klingons unaware.

CNS_Madson says:
CO: Understand.  ::leaves the bridge and heads for his quarters::

CO_Loran says:
Goode:  I want you to scan that planet down to the smallest metric measurements and find that Klingon Freighter.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO : Aye sir. :: sets up fighter schedule  and recall the rest of the fighters::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::M'Tau shows CSO to the cargo bay, and upon further inspection, the smallest item is 10 cubic meters::

CTO_Williams says:
::Sits at tactical, put it on auto, and gets back up and returns to his notes::

CO_Loran says:
CTO:  I want you to try and jam any Klingon communications in this area.  I don't want those BOPs to know if the freighter is going to leave.

CNS_Madson says:
::picks  up both a handheld phaser and a personalized phaser rifle from his quarters and heads for the TR::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::thanks M'Tau for her help, takes the vials of blood and exits freighter for the NCMC::

CMO_Madson says:
@*CNS*: Make sure to wear a rebreathers when you come down!  I almost forgot.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: Doc, I'm heading to the med. center.  Nothing found at the freighter of consequence.  I have the 10 vials with me for scanning at the NCMC's scanner.

CNS_Madson says:
*CMO*: Alright.  ::grabs a rebreathers and continues on his way to the TR::

CMO_Madson says:
@*CSO*:  Good, we'll need to start tests immediately. Those samples are for an accelerated testing procedure that I can explain later.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I am afraid that there is nothing from the reports on the pirates and the science station that they looted that will do us any good here.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Dang.

CSO_Taliza says:
@*CMO*: The freighter had 12 pure humans.  Six are dead, three are near death, and three others are severely sick.

CMO_Madson says:
@::looks closely:: Herself:  what's this?
