Captain's log 10802.24
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Well some things are starting to fall into place. We have captured one Cardassian and he seemed quite willing to tell us his story. However it didn't really help much with finding out just how to change these monsters back to the Colonists that they once was
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Also we are not sure just how many Cardassians there are still left on the planet either. Hopefully Dr Mea'e can come up with a cure before we have to start destroying these monsters.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Monsters VII : The search for the missing component 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: Carefully washing the plants, he doesn't look up as he notes La'i enter::  Mea'e:  I do not recognize this plant.  I am about to run it through the database.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: Walking along their end of the trench keeping an eye on the monsters
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::On Bridge going over reports:: *FCO*: Cmdr how are thing going at the moment?
Dr_Mea`e says:
Jeddi: That is not very comforting.  :: walks over to pick up one of the plants to examine it.  After a moment, she sniffs it.::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Well, we are holding our end of the trench the engineers are working on force fields and well don 't know if they'll cross the trench yet, up till now I have no idea what will happen.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Wrinkling her nose, she puts it back down::  Jeddi: Where is Mendoza?
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Runs back into the lab:: Yells: Eureka!
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: Motions his head over toward the back.:: Mea'e: He is going over those notes... which I doubt now we should trust.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: Very Good and if they do use what ever force you need to use to protect the colony. Unless Dr Mea'e comes up with something soon I am afraid we are out of options.
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: Again the constant pounding of the shields from the Monsters have weakened the shield.
Dr_Mea`e says:
Jeddi: I agree.  :: turns toward the yell with a smile::  Mendoza: You found something?
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mea'e: I will get started on preparing these plants.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Well, They'll have to hurry up, because the solution I have is evacuation and blowing this planet sky high  to solve this problem
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Throws a padd at the counter:: Mea'e: After looking at some data I have found that if I combine the plant, Cardassian DNA and the rest of the chemicals here, they become the monster we see here.  ::Points to the screen::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: If we evacuate the planet then what is the point of blowing it up?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Kill the monsters
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Leans over to look at the padd, considering.::
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: Sooo... all this created what we are dealing with.  Can we reverse it though?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* That wouldn't be necessary if there is no colonist there for them to threaten. However to be truthful I don’t think we have the capabilities to evacuate the planet at the moment either.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Might have a small idea which could cost a few lives, Lock on to me and five security members if we beam ourselves to their side a few meters away we could take a few shots at them and distract them or let them have a go at us.
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
Mea'e: The plant is more like the catalyst to this compound.  To reverse it?  I have a theory.  ::Points to the armor on the monsters:: this can be a trait of the Cardassian DNA.. To reverse it you might need something to shift the genetic markers the right way
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* We will keep that option open for now and hope that Dr Mea'e and her staff come up with something soon.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Well, call me if you need something done suicidal
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: So what you are saying, is there is something still missing.  :: Looks up with a sigh::  We are almost out of time, we do not have years of research open to us.  Do you have any idea what we need?
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
Mea'e: possibly.  I will need a live sample to test it out.  We might be able to inject the monsters with an altered compound that has human DNA in it. Instead of Cardassian DNA..
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: takes a seat holding his rifle while looking at the monsters:: Self: If I could take a shot at there eyes........ that might not be well protected....would need a scope.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e*: Dr I hope you have some good news I am not sure how much longer we can keep these monster at bay.
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: I have never heard of something like this, but there is always a first time for everything.  Now getting the sample...
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: steps away::  *CO*: Possibly.  Dr. Mendoza may have found the answer.  However, we would need some blood samples to test it out.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e*: Anything I can help with?
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Ummm... get us a sample?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e*: Do you need one of the colonist or will any blood sample work?
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: We need a sample from the monster.  If we do not have time... :: shrugs, knowing he cannot see her.::
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: Work with Jeddi and put something together ASAP.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e*: I will see what we can do Doctor.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: sighs dramatically::  Mea'e: I get a pay raise after all of this, right?
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Thanks...
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Nods and mixes up a few items::
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: smiles:: Jeddi: Sure... in your dreams.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mea'e:  cheap, cheap, cheap...
Dr_Mea`e says:
Jeddi: Yep, I make a good date.  ::Picks up the padd to read through Mendoza's findings.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* Cmdr it seems that we need a blood sample from one of those monsters. If I use the ships phasers to stun one of them do you think you could get the blood sample?
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: puts the prepared specimen down::  Mendoza: What do you need from me?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#::stands and raises his eyebrow then shivers:: *CO*: I got a bad feeling about this, but It might work, sir
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Looks up:: Jeddi: If you can mix this with the plant.  And add the other compounds to it.  That should be the remedy.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: Ok then it there one that is off by himself or are they all in a group?
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mendoza:  Sure...
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: changes places with the man and carefully following his instructions, mixes the ingredients, speaking to almost no one::  Ya know, this seems rather too easy.
Dr_Mea`e says:
::Not looking up, makes a slight notation.:: Jeddi: Sometimes the simpler path is the answer... it is the one that stares us in the face and laughs because we cannot see it.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: chuckles::  Now that is an interesting way to look at it.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to NoDuz to transport a med kit down to the FCO::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: looks at the monsters:::*CO*: I got one close to me behind the shield and another a few meters away.

Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mea'e: Ya know... I had a thought.  If that armor is as tough as it appears to be, how are they going to get a sample of blood?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* Is the one a few meters away surrounded by a shield?
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The pounding of the shields is slowing taking it toll as it gets more intense as the vibrations can be felt from the monsters.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Happily stomping the shield, sir
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: sighs.:: Jeddi: I was wondering that as well, but I thought we would give them a chance.  If not... we go in cold with our fingers crossed.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#::sees the med kit appear and gets out a few hypo's::
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Looks up from his microscope:: Mea'e: They can always cut off an arm.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up::  Jeddi: How is it going?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* Well then we will take the nearest one on my mark drop the shields near him.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Looks incredulously at the doctor:: Mendoza:  Excuse me?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: motions to Davis to drop the shield on CO's mark::
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
Mea'e: Or a leg... ::Points his nose back into the scope::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: we are ready, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: moves over to the Tactical console and sets the phaser up to fire on the monster. *FCO*: Ok drop the shield. Now.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#::motions to Davis:: *CO*Done, sir!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::fires the phasers as the shields drop::
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at Jeddi and shakes her head::  Jeddi: Personally, if it were me, I would prefer to just die.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The ship fires a blast from it main phaser array as the shield goes down.  Striking the Monster near the rib cage, making it fall on its back
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: looks away:: *NoDuz*: lock on to me and beam me next to the monster straight away!
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Captain, you may have a problem getting a sample. If so, we will have to go in cold.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:; Has NoDuz transport the FCO to the monster:: NoDuz: Keep a lock on him also.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e* Doc we are working on that now.
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The FCO beams a foot away from the monster.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: gets out his hypo and looks for a weak spot in the beast’s armor and tries to collect a sample::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sets waiting hoping that the FCO is successful::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: gets out his phaser and sets it on high hoping to drill a small hole::
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The FCO's phaser is refracted as he shoots at the monster.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> :: quietly::  Mea'e: I do not like this... I do not like any of this.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#::Gets out his hypo and tries again to draw a blood sample from the monster:: Self: come on, come on!
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: sighs::  Jeddi: I totally understand, but this is one of those places that is a rock and a hard place.  They have already done the damage and it will be reported.  We can only hope the council will deal with it appropriately and we can only hope that his cure works.  Unfortunately, what has once been discovered is not easily forgotten.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: Find s a small hole near the neck of the monster and moves and tries to draw blood::
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The hypo fills with blood as blood is drawn from the monster.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#*CO*: Lock on and beam me up now!!!!!!!!!
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Captain... you might look into destroying the plant we are using.  This seems to be the only place it is found.  If it is left untouched, someone can come in and duplicate this all over again, and somewhere else... assuming someone cannot find a permanent cure.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to NoDuz to transport the FCO up::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
#:: taps his foot and pockets the hypo while moving away from the monster::
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The FCO is transported back to the ship.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e* Roger Doc that is something that we can look into later. Right now I am having a sample of the monsters blood being transported to you.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mendoza: I am almost finished here.
Dr_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Thanks...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: moves off the transporter padd::*CO*: I got the sample and still in one piece praise be to the person who invented the transporter
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: Your sample is on the way.
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Nods::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: Roger you need to get it to Dr Mea'e in Science lab 1
Host SM_Sam says:
#ACTION: The shield goes back up around the monster.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::nods and heads for science lab 1:: *CO*: one question..... where is science lab 1?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: has NoDuz transport the FCO to Sci Lab 1::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: materializes in science lab 1:: *CO*: never mind, found it, sir!
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up at Exeter and reaches for the sample::  FCO: Thanks...

FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::grins and hands over the sample:: Dr Mea'e: Your welcome.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: With a nod, turns around to quickly and carefully prepares a couple of samples.::
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Takes two of the samples over to the researcher::  Mendoza: Here are your samples... :: places them next to him.::
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Returning, takes the other two samples and begins her own examination under the scope::
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Takes the samples and drops a drop of the new remedy on it::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Under the microscope, the doctors see a couple cells having a party, but importantly they see the Modified Cells change back to normal human cells.
Dr_Mea`e says:
Jeddi: Look at this... not only is it self-replicating on an accelerated rate, it is almost looks like it can replace damaged organs on its own.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: sighs and then takes a seat, starting to doze off::
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
Mea'e: I think that is it.
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> Mea'e: It would explain why they are so hard to kill.  If they don't throw the doctor into a cell, maybe they can get him to shift his research.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up and walks over to see what the doctor has.::
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Superimposes his view on the screen:: Mea'e: The cells are going back to normal.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Peering at the sample.::  * CO*: Mendoza has something for you... good or bad, only time will tell.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*Mea'e*: Anything at this moment is good if it can fix this situation.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: starts snoring loudly::
Dr_Mea`e says:
Jeddi: Prepare the antidote.
Dr_Mea`e says:
Mendoza: Thank you doctor.
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Walks over to one side of the room, trips and falls into the FCO::
Dr_Mea`e says:
<Jeddi> All: I am on it...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: wakes up in shock and sees dr. Mendoza:: Mendoza: do you mind I'm trying to sleep!
Host Dr_Mendoza says:
::Pushes back up:: FCO: Funny place to sleep.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: As Jeddi finishes loading the first hypo, she slips it into her pocket and heads out to the bridge.::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Mendoza: You wanna go down to the planet and be there on your feet for the last few hours
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: On the bridge, the COM panel lights up.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift takes her to the bridge, she fingers the hypo in her pocket.  It still did not seem right.  But where they at a place they could consider right over correct?::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain we are picking up a COM.
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Stepping off the lift she walks over to the captain.  Removing the hypo spray she hands it to the captain::  CO: Curtsy of Mendoza.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Roger find out where it is coming from.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: Takes the Hypo Spray:: Mea'e: I take it this is the cure?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::yawns and stands up and stretches then  heads off for the bridge:: self: better have a nap in that big old chair there.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain it is from Starfleet. We are to hold position and wait for the USS Hermes to arrive.
Dr_Mea`e says:
CO: Theoretically.  We cannot afford anyone else to get hurt.  Go ahead and give it a try.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* : Cmdr where are you?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*:on my way to the bridge, sir ::enters turbo lift:: TL: bridge
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO*: Good I have another job for you.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: grunts:: *CO*: let me guess, beam down and get maimed, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*FCO* Well beam down yes.  Lets hope we don’t have the maiming part.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: shakes head and groans::
Dr_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow, curious their FCO was given this job, but shrugs.::
Host SM_Sam says:
