Host Bafii says:
Prologue: The Arondight has been on patrol for two weeks under her new Captain.  There have been a few moments of excitement, like when Dog tripped one of the yeoman... but other than that things have been quiet.  It is almost the end of alpha shift as we rejoin the crew to see what happens next.
Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Taliza says:
::at science station, recording sensor readings onto one of many PADDs from this shift::
CEO_Syren says:
::staring at the MSD daring something to go wrong:: Self: Enough is enough, I’m dying of boredom here
XO_McDuggle says:
::waits for the TL to stop and then enters the Bridge:: CO: Captain
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sitting on the bridge watching the stats fly by on the view screen.  Looks up and sees the XO approach:: XO: Hello Commander.
CTO_Williams says:
::Finishes up some reports on the readiness of the crew.  Most results have been well, besides a few hiccups the crew is very ready for a bad situation::
FCO_Chottu says:
::at flight, nods head lightly and sighs silently::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::working in sickbay::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: How are thing going?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Everything has been running smoothly.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::taps badge ::* CEO*:  Chief, The captain is wanting physicals from senior staff, feel like visiting me in Sickbay?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sips her coffee::
CTO_Williams says:
::Also, at the Captain's request, we have been running our special forces teams at 50 percent rotations ON SHIP, not the Holodeck::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Then I will relieve you and take over for the beta shift.
CTO_Williams says:
::Records some more statistics, and saves the files::
CEO_Syren says:
::silently thanks the universe:: *CMO*: Yes! Dear God Yes! 
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::looks up at the comm. after reading her rather disconcerting message from Ray, realizes she had intended to spend this shift "monitoring" the bridge and it is almost over, so she books it to the TL::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
* CEO*:  I think that is the first time any one has ever wanted to come to sickbay.
CSO_Taliza says:
<Ike> ::enters bridge with Mike:: CSO: Sir, it's 1700.  Beta shift time.  We've come to relieve you.
CEO_Syren says:
*CEO*: I'm on my way ::waves at the Beta duty officer, who now has an obvious look of envy, then heads into a TL::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::exits the TL, realizes she still looks a bit flustered, and composes herself before taking her seat on the bridge::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight receives a weak distress call
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: preps the bio bed off to the side, no sense putting him on 'display'::
CSO_Taliza says:
Ike: OK, then, I stand relieved.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::waves him to his seat:: XO: Thank you.  Although I think I'll stay here and finish my coffee.  ::leans over and whispers:: Otherwise I'll have no excuse to get away from that pile of paperwork on my desk ::grins::
XO_McDuggle says:
<OPS_Dragoes>: CO: Captain I am picking up a weak distress signal.
CSO_Taliza says:
::begins to leave, but hears Dragoes's report::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: On screen. ::puts her cup down and sits up::
CEO_Syren says:
::bounces out of the TL and jogs into Sickbay:: CMO: Let the games begin!
XO_McDuggle says:
::Moves to his seat and sets down::
CTO_Williams says:
::As he closes the file, he notices a distress signal on his panel, and hears the OPS talking.::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO::  As you wish ::indicates the bio bed:: have a seat.
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: Captain It is audio only.:: puts it on the comm. system::
CSO_Taliza says:
::returns to science station::
CEO_Syren says:
::frowns but sits down:: CMO: What about the jogging and the stationary cycle? I've been sitting all day
Host Bafii says:
@ <Voice> COM: Arondight: ... freighter Malnoc... systems failure... radiation...  running out of... 
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Would you rather I made you turn your head and cough?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Can you clear that up?
CTO_Williams says:
::Tries to isolate the signal, and find it's location:: CO: I'm trying to find out where they are captain.

CSO_Taliza says:
::checks the sensors for ships in trouble::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO: Or I could put you through the advanced allergy screening :: deadpan face::
CEO_Syren says:
::answers enthusiastically:: CMO: Or I could keep quiet
CSO_Taliza says:
CO/CTO: I'm checking for radiation leaks within sensor range.
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: I am trying to Captain.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: As soon as you find the coordinates send them to Lt Chottu.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  I'm doing a general heath right now. I will schedule for an hour in the gym with our specialists to check for any possible problems if necessary.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The communication is recorded and simply repeats, the static not clearing up.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Captain, I've found them.  They're about 10 minutes away at maximum warp.  ::Sends coordinates to Patton::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: starting to grin::  CEO: How has been your general health? :: scanning::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: See if there is a freighter Malnoc in our database.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Set a course and engage...maximum warp.
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: Captain the message is just a recording  and I cannot get it any better than that.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Checking now Captain.
CEO_Syren says:
CMO: Fine, you shouldn't find much except old wounds. You'd have the file
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Try and hail them....tell them we are on our way.
FCO_Chottu says:
::sets the coordinates and engages warp engines:: CO: Done Ma'am.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Can you detect any other ships in the area?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Your weight has increased since you last physical, and your muscle mass has decreased.  :: gives him a slight glare::
CTO_Williams says:
CO: None that I can see.
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: Hailing them now Ma'am.
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, I don't read any ships with a radiation leak or any specific lead on the radiation yet.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::thinks for a moment:: XO: Have you run across this ship before?
CEO_Syren says:
::smiles and replies sarcastically:: CMO: Yeah and I grew 5 inches right?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Actually  I will be recommending a full cardiac screening to be done on you as well as a full kitosin urinalysis and full blood and liver analysis.   How old are chief?

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain records show it to be a supply freighter running supplies from various bases and the Gorn front.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There is no response from the freighter
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Not that I can remember captain.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Yeah you did grown 5 inches... in your waistline .
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: Captain I am not getting any response.
CEO_Syren says:
::sits up:: CMO: I did not. Get another tricorder and scan again
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Keep checking.
CSO_Taliza says:
::scans ahead for the freighter::  CO: Aye, ma'am.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain I suggest yellow alert.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Once your screenings are done I am turning you over to our nutritionist. You need to be eating healthier.  You seem to eating more calories  than you expend.  If you continue to eat like that and not exercise. An don't deny it,  You will be having 5 inches more on your waist, instead of the 2 you have already got.
FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the Beta shift FCO come on to the bridge and motions him to standby rather then take over::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Understood.  Keep trying on all frequencies.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: Agreed, Commander...take us to yellow alert.
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> CO: Roger Ma'am.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: ETA until we reach the freighter?
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, I'm reading a wide range of radiation from the freighter.
CEO_Syren says:
::jumps off the bio bed now:: CMO: I'll have you know I’m in great shape and probably the finest specimen you'll see today ::does a couple poses to illustrate::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO: You have a choice do it without orders or with.  I recommend you start following  a meal plan and exercise plan or I can order you to do it.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger Captain. Ship wide: Yellow alert.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: Any life signs?
CTO_Williams says:
::Keeps scanning the area for hostiles, or how this could have happened::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Looks like you would be wiped off the Rugby field in one swoop... ::hears alert:: Oh crud...
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Any signs of other ships in the area?
CEO_Syren says:
CMO: Darn, what a pity ::leaves Sickbay before she can stop him::

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Another 4 minutes Ma'am.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  Your medical status is going to the captain. ::shouts as he leaves::
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I can't get a reading inside the ship.  Interference from the radiation.  The level is near lethal doses, but outside the ship it has dispersed well.
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Nothing I've seen.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Doctor, have sickbay on standby for multiple radiation injuries.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::realizes she was spacing out when the yellow alert klaxon nearly startled her right out of her skin - is a bit upset at herself for her mental out-of-body-experience and brings her focus back to reality::
CEO_Syren says:
::pauses in the corridor:: CMO: You wouldn't?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
Aloud::  He can run but he cant' hide.  Amazing what medical orders and a couple stubborn females can do.
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger. Keep me appraised.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Drop us to impulse outside of the radiation field and hold there.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CEO:  That's my orders. And you have yours!
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
*CO*:  Prepping sickbay captain.
CEO_Syren says:
::grumbles to himself but heads to the bridge::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: puts her crew on alert for radiation injuries , and containments being set up, this was not going to be pleasant::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: What is the crew compliment of the freighter?
CEO_Syren says:
::storms out of the TL and takes his station. Immediately he punches up the bridge log::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: It has a crew of 5 Ma'am. ::checks records again as that doesn't seem right::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight arrives at the location
FCO_Chottu says:
::has the Arondight drop out of warp before the field:: CO: Dropping to impulse Ma'am.
CSO_Taliza says:
::hears the XO:: XO: Five?  Is that ship automated or something?
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
*CO*:  Sickbay is prepped and ready, teams standing by , sir.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Hold us outside of the field, Lt.
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: That what I am checking now. I know that doesn't sound right.
FCO_Chottu says:
::thinks as he hears someone step onto the bridge:: CEO: Hey, curious, maintenance on the second fighter group, do you know if it's done yet? Heard it was in your hands.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Unfortunately, I can't confirm that.  The radiation is still interfering with sensors.  I can't get a body count or life readings.
CEO_Syren says:
::prepares to transport the five men to Sickbay:: FCO: Then you heard wrong
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CSO: IS the radiation harmful to this ship?  Or will our shields keep it out?
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: What are the radiation levels at on the ship.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Aye Ma'am, full stop.. Now. ::halts the Arondight::
FCO_Chottu says:
CEO: I practically had to force the CAG to ask for assistance, you mean he didn't?
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Near lethal levels inside.  However, the shields will keep out the radiation, though we don't need them at this distance.  It would take hours for the radiation count to get high enough to get as bad as over there.
CEO_Syren says:
FCO: He did but we couldn't afford any officers ::watching the sensors:: Self: It's gonna be hell beaming through that stuff
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: Can you get a transporter lock on anyone in the freighter?
CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CO: Sir, ma'am, maybe we can get closer, and that might help the sensors.
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: How long would we be safe on the ship using EVA suits?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: FCO: Move us in closer, Lt.
CEO_Syren says:
CO: I've been trying Ma'am but I can’t. 
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head lightly:: CEO: Well I need those fighters checked up, so if any time soon someone frees up, he'd be appreciated.. Sir.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Only 30 minutes at the most.
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Try and tap into the ships computer.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
XO: If we can't get a lock on them...prepare to lead an away team on board.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Alright Ma'am, going to quarter impulse. ::does as said::
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, if sensors can't get through the radiation, I can't get into the computer.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::nods to the CSO and CTO to follow him::
CSO_Taliza says:
::gets the signal to go on an AT and follows XO to TL::
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Could we send out probes to enhance our sensors? ::Gets up::
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief have a shuttle ready in shuttle bay 1.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Yes sir
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Keep a scan for any other ships in the area.
XO_McDuggle says:
::heads to the TL and waits for the CSO and CTO::
FCO_Chottu says:
::silently nods::

CTO_Williams says:
::Checks his phaser and makes a note to grab a tricorder on the way there.  He follows the XO::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
*CO*: ETA on injuries?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: After you get the shuttle ready...see if you can figure out what caused the damage.  Check specifically for any weapons fire.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: We cannot transport at the moment.  A rescue party is being sent.  Have medical personnel meet the XO in shuttle bay 1.
XO_McDuggle says:
:: as CSO and CTO enter TL:: TL: Shuttle bay 1
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
*CO*:  Aye, Aye captain. Sickbay out
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight has now closed half the distance between itself and the freighter.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: We have to get in there, find the crew and get out within 30 minutes.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Take transporter enhancers with you.
CEO_Syren says:
::signals the shuttle bay to start up a shuttle:: CO: The sensors are useless but those marks on the hull say they've been in a fight. It doesn't look recent though
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: gets a team headed by Meic Carly Aucoin together ready  for trauma and radiation injuries and sends them to meet XO at shuttle bay::
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: I suggest we use 2 teams. *CO*: Aye Captain.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: That'd be best.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: Understood.  Keep trying to penetrate the radiation with the sensors.  We need to find out what is going on.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
<Carly> :: with 2 more team members in tow comes running into the shuttle bay, out of breath ready to go::
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: You take whatever medical staff the doctor sends and head for the rear quarters I will take the CTO and head for the bridge.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Are we going to wear radiation suits, sir?
CEO_Syren says:
::moves to the science station and begins another sensor sweep:: CO: The radiation might be from a cargo mishap. I wish I knew what they were carrying
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: No heroics....you have 20 minutes to get in and get out.  Those radiation EVA suits won't protect you for long.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: We've entered the field Ma'am.
XO_McDuggle says:
::arrives in shuttle bay 1:: All: load up. ::enters the shuttle and starts departure producers::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: See if you can find out what they normally transport from the database.  that may give us a clue.
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: Yes we are
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::the med team hurries on board::
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: We have to.  The radiation on that freighter is at lethal levels.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Understood.  Get us as close as you can.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CO*: Understood Captain.
CEO_Syren says:
::scours the database for information:: CO: That ship class mostly carries medical supplies and food. It has to be something else
FCO_Chottu says:
::keeps track of radiation levels as they move deeper into the field::
CTO_Williams says:
CSO/XO: That’s what I thought.  I almost think I'm under classed for this mission, but I will follow your guy's lead.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: Keep an eye on the freighter.  Watch for any indication that the radiation is becoming unstable and that it might explode.
XO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Permission to disembark the shuttle bay.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sounds like the captain has taken a cushion on the suits.
CEO_Syren says:
CO: I watching it Ma'am
XO_McDuggle says:
<Dragoes> : XO: Roger permission granted :: opens shuttle bay doors::
CSO_Taliza says:
::enters shuttle and starts to don an EVA::
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: I really don't disagree with her ideal either.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Radiations levels are starting to spike Ma'am, we're still 5000km out.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: all of the med team has on their EVA suits, and a little jittery::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: The away team will probably need decom when they get back.  Have a team ready in the shuttle bay, please.
XO_McDuggle says:
::see that everyone is aboard and starts the shuttle out of the shuttle bay::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Any signs that it is effecting our systems?
CTO_Williams says:
::Starts slipping into another EVA suit:: XO/CSO: It's been awhile since I've worn one of these.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
*CO*: Aye, aye captain, we don’t want them bringing back anything unwanted.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
Sickbay:  Ok people we have another quarantine situation and this one is with radiation.  We need on set up in the shuttle bay proto. I don't want any goof ups.
XO_McDuggle says:
CTO: You will get use to it shortly.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Well, not yet Ma'am, but I would rather not risk much further, pressing tolerance limits.

CEO_Syren says:
::notices the technical specs:: CO: It might be an engine problem. Those ships had old style backup generators, very unreliable. This type of radiation is common.
CTO_Williams says:
XO: Oh I've worn one lots in training and in missions in the past.  Don't get me wrong, but it's been awhile, nonetheless.  Now who's piloting this ship?
CSO_Taliza says:
::sees three medical crew also get into EVA:: Medical crew: You three will be with me in the rear sections of the freighter.  We have 20 minutes to get in, find casualties and get out.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The shuttle glides out of the bay
CTO_Williams says:
::Snaps in his helmet and boots::
XO_McDuggle says:
@::clears shuttle bay and heads for the freighter:: CSO: Will you take the controls so I can get an EVA suit on as well.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
@<carly>CSO:  Aye sir.
CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: Aye sir.  ::slips into the pilot's seat::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: All right...hold here then.
XO_McDuggle says:
@:: Moves back and puts on his EVA suit::
FCO_Chottu says:
::turns and looks back, then getting the command, turns towards his console and halts the Arondight:: CO: Full stop Ma'am and shuttle in flight.
CEO_Syren says:
::trying to monitor the freighter's engine status::
CSO_Taliza says:
@::glides the shuttle toward a docking port::
XO_McDuggle says:
@CTO: Lt. you want to get those pattern enhancers out of that rack :: point in direction of rack::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Have another shuttle prepared to take off as a back up.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::can pick up on the bridge crew's slight nervousness - sending crew members into a lethal radiation environment with only a thin little EVA suit between them and death was never anyone's idea of a good time::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CEO: Do we have communications with the shuttle?
CTO_Williams says:
@::Goes into the Supply cabinet on the wall, and straps a phaser rifle on his back, and grabs a tricorder and puts in on his belt, complementing the hand phaser there::  XO: Aye.
CEO_Syren says:
CO: It's rough but they should make us out for a while
FCO_Chottu says:
::contacts the flight deck and requests a 2nd shuttle prepped::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*XO*: For as long as communications hold out report in every five minutes.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The shuttle begins to dock with the freighter
CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: We're docking.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Goes to the supply cabinet, and pulls out the pattern enhancers, and straps them to a small anti-grav unit::
XO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: Roger. All: Ok everyone you know what to do.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::turns to the quiet CNS:: CNS: Counselor, how proficient are you on the sensors?  Think you can keep an eye on the tactical sensors and scan for any ships in the area?
CSO_Taliza says:
@::secures the shuttle and heads to the airlock::
XO_McDuggle says:
@*CO*; Captain we will as long as possible.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::grins:: CO: I think I can handle them for a little while ::gets up and takes over Ryan's console in his absence::
CTO_Williams says:
@XO: Okay, they're all set up.  ::He pulls the antigravity unit behind him::
XO_McDuggle says:
@::hands the CSO three pattern enhancers:: CSO: If you find anyone try and transport them back .
CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: Aye sir.  ::gives the enhancers to the medics::
XO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: Then lets go. ::heads for the door::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::looking at tactical sensors::
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
@::medics take them despite their packs of medical equipment::
CSO_Taliza says:
@::follows XO inside with medics in tow::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As soon as the airlock is opened, the antigravity unit fails.
CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows in behind the XO.  Phaser in one hand, tricorder in the other::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits waiting impatiently:: All: And now the waiting begins. ::smiles tightly and sips her now cold coffee::
CSO_Taliza says:
@::notices the antigravity fails:: XO: Commander, the radiation must interfere with some electronics. ::checks tricorder::
CTO_Williams says:
@::Sighs:: XO: I've got it. ::Turns off the grav unit, and straps the enhancers onto his back, with his phaser rifle:: Self: Hm...  it isn't too heavy.
CSO_Taliza says:
@::has an enhancer strapped to his back::
XO_McDuggle says:
@::thumps his tricorder:: CSO: I kind of figured that out.
CSO_Taliza says:
@XO: The tricorders have limited functionality.
CTO_Williams says:
Self: This is why I work out every day.  ::Grunts::
CSO_Taliza says:
@Medics: OK, follow me, docs.
XO_McDuggle says:
@CSO: Then we will have to move fast.
CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
@<carly> CSO: Aye, aye sir.. ::trudges along after him::
XO_McDuggle says:
@::heads for the Bridge:: CTO: This way.
