Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Fables I: The Search >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sitting at the flight console, a smile popping up every now and then as she reviews her knowledge and experience of flying.  It has been quite a while since she was on the bridge of a starship, let alone flying one.... once.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::At the "pool table" in Main Engineering, coffee cup in hand, studying the readings on the systems and doing a last-minute diagnostic::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: OPS panel lights up.  Comm. from Starbase 129.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: Looks around the Bridge:: All: Report.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Noting the light and the officer not yet on the bridge.::  CO: Captain, you have an incoming comm. from Starbase 129.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Roger put it on screen.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Patching through, places it on the screen.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SB OPS>: COM: Arondight: This is Starbase Operations, you have been cleared for departure.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: SB OPS: Roger Thank you  we are leaving now
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
:: Is in one of the medical labs looking over a PADD with some of the data from a slab where residue from the alien organism was found.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks over her shoulder at the captain.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: If you will please undock us from the station and plot a course to Starbase 32.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods her head as she turns around.  Tapping the command, she unlocks the docking clamps.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As soon as she is given the green light, she slowly begins to back the ship away from the station.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight slowly backs from the docking port.  People sitting in the Observation Lounge at the Starbase look on.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Far enough away, she turns the ship around.::  CO: Speed?
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
Self:  Hmmm... Not any kind of normal viral entity.  ::Returns to one of the microscopes and looks through the eyepiece. ::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Continues monitoring ships systems, as soon as they undock she orders the impulse and warp reactors brought up from idle to just power minimal systems to full capability::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Half impulse till we clear the marker then warp 6.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As the Doctor looks in the microscope, he can see the viral entity swarm around the dish.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods as at the warning marker, she takes the ship to half impulse. ::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: It is not long before she reaches the next marker and takes the ship to full impulse.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Doc have you and the CEO found any thing interesting on the chip yet?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Makes sure navigational deflectors are online and working to push all the space garbage out of the way, and checks the warp coil alignment in preparation to go to warp speed::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Double-checks her co-ordinates.::  CO: Reaching outer marker... heading to warp.  :: Listening to the engines, she takes the ship to warp one.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
::nods in acknowledgement::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Injects some antibodies in the dish to see what the virus' reaction would be.::  *CO*:  Ensign O'Reiley has the chip going through a few diagnostics at the moment and I took a few moments here to analyze a fragment of the viral entity that attacked us a few days ago.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Roger let me know when you have something.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Watches the planets slip by.  As she reaches the last one, she takes the ship up to warp six.::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.  ::Goes back to the microscope to examine the effects of the antibodies. ::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Satisfied everything is going smoothly, she turns things over to the Alpha shift crew and goes into her office to start studying this mysterious chip and what it might hold::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Virus in the Doc's dish gets swarmed by the Antibodies.  But fights back and takes out the Antibodies.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e:: ETA to the Starbase?

CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Begins some intensive scans as the virus destroys the injected antibodies.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Glances down.:: CO: ETA is 3 hours, two minutes.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>: CO: Captain, we are getting a message from the Apache.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Roger
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: On Screen
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Glances over slightly surprised.  She was so involved with getting the ship underway, she had not noticed Powell joining them.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>::Nods::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CEO*:  Sickbay to Ensign O'Reiley.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Apache_CO_Polo>:COM: McDuggle: Captain, this is Captain Polo. We just found a Pakled vessel ambushed by what looks like a Federation Ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CEO*:  How's the system diagnostic going on the mystery disk?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: CO Polo: Did the Pakled's attack them?
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sitting back, she watches and listens to both the ship and crew, getting a feel for both.  And feeling rather proud of herself that nothing untoward had happened.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CMO*: I just finished the system check and surface scan to make sure we didn't have any surprises like self-destructing spy stuff, I'm about to start looking it over now.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Apache_CO_Polo>:COM: McDuggle: Not from what we gathered.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CEO*:  Want me to come down to Engineering?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CMO*: If you think you could help...
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: CO Polo: It could be a lead when you are finished there check out this Federation ship that attacked them.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CEO*:  I'll stop by for a little bit.  See if maybe I can help out.  I'm running an intracellular scan on the viral body you found for me.  It'll take a bit for that to complete.  I'll have one of my nurses keep an eye on it.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Apache_CO_Polo>:COM: McDuggle: COM: McDuggle: I will do that. Do you need anything else from us?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CMO*: Fair enough, I'm in my office working on it where I can concentrate. I have my minions keeping an eye on the reactors.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: CO Polo: Not at the moment. Good hunting McDuggle out.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: nods to Powell to close the com::
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>::Nods and closes the comm.::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
*CEO*:  I'll be right down.  ::Turns to one of his nurses and gives instructions to watch over the scans.  He then turns and leaves through the nearest door and heads for the turbo lift.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Lets hope that they have some luck.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Agreed.  Do you have a plan for when we arrive at the Starbase?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The scans the doctor indicates that the Antibodies are regenerating.  But are taking the traits of the Viral Entity.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts checking the chip to see if she can get any data out of it, using only a portable terminal not hooked up to any ship's systems::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: For now we will just find out what we can about the kidnapping and possibilities of where they may have went. Hopefully this chip that OPS and the CMO are working will help.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Enters the lift and instructs it to take him to Engineering. ::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: You will wait till we get there before talking to the station's captain?
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::After a few minutes, he arrives on the appropriate deck and heads out towards the main area of Engineering.  He then stops by Shannen's office and presses on the door chime. ::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The terminal lights up and the screen displays a file structure
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Door: Enter.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sitting there, with little to do other then possibly needing a slight course correction, she considers this post could be rather relaxing.  But it could also become rather boring after awhile.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Yes I want to speak to the Stations captain in person so that I can access whether he is lying or not.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>: CO: Captain we are reading a comm. burst directed at the ship.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns around, curious::  CO: Why would a Starfleet officer lie?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Commander, I just hooked the chip up to a terminal and got to a file structure. Is there anything specific I should start looking for Sir?
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Goes quiet as the more urgent matter needs to be addressed.::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Enters the Chief Engineer's office and grabs a seat as he notices she's talking over the comm. ::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: Can you decipher it and tell where it is coming from?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Points to the terminal with the file structure::
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>::Looks at his control panel:: CO: No captain, it has been redirected to your ready room. ::Looks up::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Takes a look at what's on the screen and reads through a few of the file names. ::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow curiously::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: Roger. :: gets up and head for his RR:: Mea`e: Cmdr you have the bridge.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods at accepting the bridge.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: enter his RR and move to his desk bring up the COM screen::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Getting no answer from the Bridge, continues looking through the files for anything that relates to the missing Admiral::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns toward Powell:: OPS: If not the source, how about the general area it came from?
Host Agent_Jay says:
ACTION: A darker man pops on the screen.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
CEO:  What exactly are we looking for?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: Man: And what do I owe for this little intrusion?
Host Agent_Jay says:
CO: Captain, I know where you are going, and what former Agent Kay has told you.  I warn you back off and tell your superiors we will not tolerate any deviation.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Wish I knew... I asked the CO, but he didn't answer me. I guess anything having to do with Admiral Forrest.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: Man: You know that I cannot do that.
Host Agent_Jay says:
<OPS Powell>::Attempting to triangulate the comm. burst::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Curiously watches what he is doing.::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
CEO:  I remember prior to getting this disk that there was a hologram that appeared before Ensign Shelaya and I... there were blasts in the background.
Host Agent_Jay says:
<OPS Powell>Mea'e: Commander I cannot triangulate it.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts a targeted search for Admiral Forrest's name in the database to find the relevant files quicker::
Host Agent_Jay says:
CO: Well then you and your ship will see the same fate as the Apache.  ::Cuts the comm.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
OPS: Hmmm... so the communication is jumping relays... in a sense?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: looks at the screen wondering what he meant::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Here we go... Admiral Forrest's folder... ::Opens it::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: gets up and heads back out to the bridge::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Nods and watches on at what's inside.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns to glance at the captain as he returns.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: ETA to the station?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: You have any luck in finding out where that COM came from?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Sir, are you available?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*; Yes Chief?
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns back to her console.::  CO: 2 hours, 50 minutes.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>: CO: No captain, it was bounced off a couple subspace relays, the signal cannot be triangulated.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Beginning to wonder if this was going to be a very long 3-hour tour.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Take us to warp 8 and let me know the ETA once you have done that.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Aye...  :: Takes the ship to warp eight and recalculates the ETA.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I got into the chip and found a file structure. I found Admiral Forrest's file. There's a whole Operations Plan in here for grabbing him. Interesting thing is, all the ships involved have been listed as MIA or destroyed for at least 6 months prior to the operation.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: Well stay on it and see if you can track it back to its source.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Finds the data interesting to read, like a very old fact finding mission except in the present.::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: New ETA is one hour and ten minutes.  :: Turns around::  If I might ask, is there a reason for the hurry?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: See if you can gather the information on where each was when it came up MIA or destroyed.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I'm on it Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Lets just say I don't like to be threatened.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Does a LCARS search on the ship registry to do a location check on each ship when it disappeared, and plots them all on a star chart::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Slowly nodding her head, making the inference the threat came from the recent comm.::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Looks on with Ensign O'Reiley.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*:Just how many ship are we talking about anyways?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Hard enough keeping the ship going through ion storms and enemy action, now we have to do cloak and dagger stuff too?
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
CEO:  A daunting task to say the least.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: See if you can contact the Apache.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: You make any progress on that acid beastie?
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
Hmmm... :: Pulls up the list of ships and where they had been lost.::  CO:  I have the USS Landry... a Norway class MIA in the Nuclars Nebula.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO:  The USS Eagle was a saber class and it was lost... in the same nebula.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
CEO:  It has rejected all the antibodies I’ve injected it with.  I'm running a deep scan on it right at this moment though to see if I can make a composition of its internal cellular structure.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I sent the data up to you Sir.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>: CO: Aye.  ::Hails the Apache::
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Punches in the information to the flight computer.::  CO: The Nuclars Nebula is 3 Lys from the Starbase.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Goes quiet as the Apache is hailed.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: More interesting Sir, there is an empty file folder named "New Weapons".
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: If I remember right the Apache's sensor log said something about the ship that attacked the Pakleds was a Norway class ship.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Captain of the Apache pops on the screen
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I don't suppose they were able to... :: pauses at the Apache captain’s face on the screen.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Have you tried anti-virals or stuff like that on it?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: CO Polo: Just a warning we have gotten a threatening COM demanding that we back off so be careful.
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
CEO:  Yes, not to much success.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Well, I suppose you could always use a phaser, but that's kinda inconvenient for surgery, huh?
Host SM_Sam says:
<Apache CO Polo>::Nods:: COM: McDuggle: We will be careful.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly, for him to hear::  CO: Shall I forward the newest information?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: CO Polo: Roger I am sending you what we have learned so far. Hope it helps. :: nods to Powell to send the information to the Apache::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Chuckles softly.::  CEO:  Quite.  I'm sure I’ll get more data to see what made that thing tick.  It's just a matter of time.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: They must be busy on the Bridge... half the time they don't answer me.
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>:Nods and sends the information::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Powell can do but thanks.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: nods for Powell to close the COM when he is done::
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>::Nods and closes the com::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Grins at Shannen.::  CEO:  They'll come for you though when the core's about to explode.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Should we inform Starfleet so they can warn others that two of our ships have possibly been commandeered?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CMO: Oh SURE... when they NEED me they're all about chatting...
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Keeps searching the database in the chip::
CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Smiles and laughs softly.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea`e: Lets just hold on to that information for the moment as I am not sure just who might over here what we send to Starfleet right now.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Concurs::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Engineering to Bridge, urgent.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Go-ahead Chief.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hearing the captain’s comm., looks at her console to make sure it has nothing to do with flight.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: There is another file in here Sir, with another Operations plan, for Admiral Winters. I'm forwarding the data to your station now.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Finding nothing, sits back and relaxes for the next hour.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger Chief good work:: waits for the Data to come in::
Host SM_Sam says:
<OPS Powell>: CO: Captain, we have an urgent message from the Horatio.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sends the data to the CO's chair::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Powell: On Screen.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sits back up.  Two admirals?  :: Reaches over to pull up the information on both admirals to look for a common denominator.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<Captain Hung>: COM: Arondight: Admiral Winters Convoy has been attacked ::Static:: Came out of no ::Static:: Need help!
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
Mea'e: Set a course to the Horatio maximum speed.
LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods and reaches over to alter course and increase speed.::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
COM: Hung: Roger Captain we are on our way.
