Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Arondight has just finished bringing up the AT and has plotted a course towards the asteroid. The Doctor is trying to get any info she can from the only survivor.
Host Rich says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CMO_Rangi says:
::having finished quarantine, is working with the "child"::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge looking over the reports:: FCO: ETA to intercept the asteroid?
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::on the bridge going through the sensors trying to find anything of the asteroid::
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: How are you feeling Ralph?
Host Ralph says:
CMO: I am feeling all right I guess.
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph:  Are you hungry?
FCO_Chottu says:
::takes his seat on the bridge:: CO: Moment please Ma'am... 3 hours.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Yes do you have anything to eat?
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: Do you mind if we take a few scans of you ? ::shows him the tricorder::  What would you like?  I make a nice hot chocolate.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Do you have chocolate cake?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::wonders what is going on in sickbay and if that boy Ralph is giving the CMO any information::
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::isn't having much luck and really wishes that the CSO was around, Dmitry was never the best with these types of scans::
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: I know a great chocolate cake.  I'll get you a piece, but you have to sit still while the doctors scan you ok?  I'll be right back. ::smiling::
Host Ralph says:
::looks disappointed:: CMO: Oh ok.
CMO_Rangi says:
::Goes to replicator in her office,, and taps her COM badge:: *CO*:  Captain I've started scans on the boy.  What do you need to ask him?  Currently I'm trying to keep him calm.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: I still can't get any sensor contact of the asteroid... I'll keep trying some different scans.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Try and find out how long after the asteroid passed by did everyone become ill.

CMO_Rangi says:
:: orders up her great wall of chocolate cake, AKA her depression cake::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: Understood. :: As she gets the cake and a large glass of milk for the boy a tech comes in::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Keep trying.  As we get closer it might be easier.  We need to know the composition of the asteroid to determine the best way of destroying it.
CMO_Rangi says:
<Tech> CMO: Doc tests just came back.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::nods, and sets back to work, trying different types of scans hoping to pick something up::
CMO_Rangi says:
<Tech> CMO:  The boy is getting younger,  In fact since he left he is 3 years younger than he was.
CMO_Rangi says:
Tech:  Keep monitoring him.  Track the changes.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::looks over at the FCO::  FCO: Is it always so intense up here?
FCO_Chottu says:
::leans back a little:: OPS: Uh, I guess, can't say it bothers me.
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: Captain we found that what ever caused his aging is now gone, and he is getting younger.  He has gotten 3 years younger since we beamed him aboard. ::walks back out of her office with the cake and milk for the boy::
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::in definite awe:: FCO: Wow, I don't know if I could get used to it..  ::works as he talks::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Will this process stop when he reaches his prior age?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: Not sure at this point sir, but we are working on it.
FCO_Chottu says:
::shakes head a little and checks course, then shrugs:: OPS: You will, probably.
Host Ralph says:
::sees the doctor with the cake and gets a very big smile on his face::
CMO_Rangi says:
::walks up to Ralph:: Ralph: Here you go.  And a big glass of milk to wash it down.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::something like a light bulb finally goes off in his head and he scans for gamma radiation:: Self: I can't believe I didn't do this first....   CO: Captain, I've found the radiation trail of the asteroid, feeding the information to the helm.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sighs at being called 'sir' again but let's it slide for now.:: *CMO*: Thank you Doctor.  Keep me informed.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Thank you. Are you going to take me to my Grandpa?
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph:  How long after it got dark did people start getting sick?
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: I'm sure our Captain will find him if she can.  Where is he?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Excellent work.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Maybe, if I had found it 15 minutes ago...    CO: Thank you ma'am.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: I am not sure. They gave us all shots after it passed and then about maybe a day after they started to get old.
CMO_Rangi says:
::nods:: Ralph:  What did they do when they started to get old?
FCO_Chottu says:
::sight a little then calculates course correction:: CO: Adjust heading according to the information from the trail Ma'am?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Please Lt.  Maximum warp
Host Ralph says:
CMO: I guess that was all because they sent the other children and me away from the main building.
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods and enters the course correction, then increases speed to maximum warp.::
CMO_Rangi says:
::looking to her nurse , she finds that she is already finding out what they were giving, the nurse shows her a pad showing it was Hydroxlen::
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph:  Where you the youngest child?
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Yes then there was Karen who was 10 and Dan who was 14 and then Jerome who was 16.
CMO_Rangi says:
:: Her nurse starts sending text reports up to the CO so that she knows everything that is going on.
Host Ralph says:
::looks at the cake:: CMO: May I have some of that now?
CMO_Rangi says:
:: Rangi takes her PADD from the nurse , and review the information:: Ralph:  It isn't sitting right in front of you for you just to look at.  Why don't you dig in and I'll be back in a couple minute.
CMO_Rangi says:
::heads to her office:: * CO*: Captain.... I have more information for you.
Host Ralph says:
::takes the fork and starts eating rapidly:: CMO: Thank you.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gets the text messages:: *CMO: Yes doctor?  I'm reading the text messages now.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::tries to calculate the position of the asteroid based on the radiation decay::
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*:  Ralph says they were given shots , which I found to be Hydroxlen .  Then after a day the 4 children were sent away from the main building.  Ralph was the youngest at 5.  The other 3 that were with him were the bodies we found hanging.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Damn...I was hoping that they weren't but it seemed likely.  I'm curious about the Hydroxlen.  What would that have done?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*:  It is a treatment for radiation.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Could it have had any effect on the Aging Disease?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: Doubtful, Ma'am .  The medical officers on the base were following procedure with the shots. Given the boy's mental state I wouldn’t' push for too much information
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: All right Doctor.  Good work on what you have gotten so far.
CMO_Rangi says:
<tech>:; Continuing scans on boys body functions::
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::quietly:: FCO: So did you see the bodies?

Host Ralph says:
::finishes the piece of cake in front of him and drinks half of the milk and then looks to see if the doctor is around::
FCO_Chottu says:
::turns towards the OPS:: OPS: Well yes, didn't you guys up here too?
CMO_Rangi says:
::hurries back to her patient::  Ralph:  Like it ?
OPS_Kirsanov says:
FCO: Well yeah, but that's just on the screen... isn't exactly real.  What was it like?  To be down there with all that I mean.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Very much I haven't had anything to eat in maybe 2 days.
CMO_Rangi says:
::whispers to nurse:: nurse: Keep up text reports to CO.  ::back to Ralph:::   Ralph:  That happened after the adults ordered you out of the main building?
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head a little:: OPS: It was like seeing bodies hanging, there's not much to compare it too, you just try and stay objective and do what you were sent down for.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: They got old and started dieing.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
FCO: Wow, I don't know that I could have kept my lunch down.
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: What about the other 3 people with you ?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: ETA to the asteroid?
Host Ralph says:
CMO: Jerome told us that we had to get up on the catwalk and tie ropes around our necks and jump off.
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph:  Why did he say that?
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: I'm glad you didn't by the way.
Host Ralph says:
CMO: He said that if we didn't we would die like the rest of the people did and he said that he didn't want to die screaming like that.
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: You just try not to think about it, but keep acting accordingly.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: 2 hours ma'am.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Thank you.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Any further information on the asteroid composition?
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph:  Still not a good thing to do , at any time.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Not yet ma'am.  I'm still only getting the radiation trail
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods knowing that there isn't much more to do but wait.  Continues to read the text reports from sickbay.::
Host Ralph says:
CMO: That is what I said to Jerome and then he said that I had to so I got scared and ran and hid around the generators.
CMO_Rangi says:
Ralph: You are a very good boy Ralph.  After they did what they did, what did you do?

Host Ralph says:
CMO: I just stayed among the generators till the other people showed up.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
FCO: I still don't know how you did it... I'm glad I didn't have to go.
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Well the hard part is yet to come.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
FCO: What is that?
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Just wait till the CNS finds out what I saw.
Host Rich says:
Action: The FCO's console shorts out sending a jolt of electricity through him singeing the end of his tail.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::takes a moment, but he gets the joke... chuckles to himself as he looks over his console::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::getting a little restless:: FCO/OPS: Gentlemen....start coming up with different ways to destroy the asteroid. ::sees the FCO get zapped and looks at him:: FCO: Lt, are you all right?
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::startled by the zap, he jumps from his chair lest he gets zapped too::
CMO_Rangi says:
::transmits to the CO that the boy is getting younger::
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: I.. ::falls forward onto his console while he was in the middle making a slight course adjustment::
CMO_Rangi says:
:: so far an additional year::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: Medical alert on the bridge. ::gets up and heads over to the FCO::
OPS_Kirsanov says:
Aloud:  Wha... what happened?
CMO_Rangi says:
*CO*: On my way... :: heads out to Sick bay , praying there isn't any more of those things::
FCO_Chottu says:
::eyes half open, drowsy at best::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::pulls the FCO away from the console and lays him down on the floor:: OPS: Call engineering to look at his console and slave flight to yours.  Take over flight for now.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
CO: Are you sure it is safe?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Safer than flying into a planet at maximum warp....or into the back of that asteroid.
OPS_Kirsanov says:
::realizes what she means:: CO: Aye ma'am!  ::takes his seat and corrects course::
CMO_Rangi says:
::comes out of the TL onto the bridge:: CO:  What happened?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CMO: His console shorted out and shocked him.  Saw his tail go straight out and spark at the tip.
CMO_Rangi says:
::Checks over FCO::  Co: He will be alright he just has a minor burn on  his tail and is a  little shook up.  He will be fine.
FCO_Chottu says:
::not moving::
CMO_Rangi says:
::taps badge:: Transporter Chief:  Chief please transport the FCO to sickbay.

CMO_Rangi says:
::Soon as he is transported away, she returns to SB::
Host Rich says:
Action: TO T'lah comes in to sickbay complaining about his shoulder hurting.
