Captain's log 10809.28:
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
We have found out what has happened to the observation team on the planet. However we still don't have any ideal why it happened. The only problem that has been detected so far was a short drop of the shield during a diagnostic. Hopefully we can find out what caused the teams demise.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jacob's Corner III >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: In medical, watching the doctor::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: on bridge going over reports::
CMO_Redwood says:
::turns away from the microscope he was using:: XO: The uniforms are normal.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CMO*: Doc, the Skipper wants me to send down a probe to the planet to do a more complete check of things. What kind of sensors and gadgets would you like on it?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: No sign of any radiation?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: hearing the engineer::  *CEO*: For me, I need you to add whatever we have to check out the spectrum of radiation.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*XO*: Understood. You think it might be a causal source?
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: No, Commander, no sign of Radiation.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief I hate to make you a scientist but once you get the probe launched I need you to go over the atmosphere logs between the lab and the planet.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: It is possible if it existed, there would not be any evidence after two weeks.  But... no radiation, no sign of a virus... ::  Shakes her head::  Nothing else is coming to my mind at the moment.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: As the people seem to be alright, I think it might be something normal for them.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir. I'd also like to toss a Class IV probe at the local star to check for solar flare activities and unusual radiation emissions, just to cover our bases. A solar flare and the EMP from it might have caused those malfunctions.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks down at the desk:: XO: I don't know... perhaps the fact the uniforms survived can help us to filter out what it isn’t.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Good ideal launch it when you have it ready.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: The uniforms are synthetic... Hmmm... :: turns around and pulls up the video again.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir. I'm planning to toss a Class V at the planet once I find out what I need to put on it. It has a soft landing capability, and stealth coatings to avoid detection. I'll keep you up to speed.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief I want to run something by the Doctor so you have the bridge till I get back. :: rises and heads for the TL::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: So perhaps whatever happened only effects biological matter... that leaves a few extra questions though and I want to answer them, not add more.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Cues up a Class IV probe and sets it for a mission to do a check-out of the local star and launches it on its way::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Captain, I have the Conn.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the CEO and he enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: They aged... and aged rather quickly.  :: nods toward the video replaying.::  Something effected them... possibly at the genetic level, and it was rather painful.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Moves to the center seat and sits down::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: No insect on the video, or any plant they make contact with?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Contacts one of her teams to prepare a Class V probe with a full radiation detection pallet and all the usual planetary sensors::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: Ma'am, we are getting telemetry from the probe
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns back around, leaning against the desk::  CMO: Known noted, but then again, that is not something that would be easily picked up on sensors... unless that was what they were looking for.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: exits the TL and enters Sick bay::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up and nods toward the captain::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I don't think... ::looks towards the Captain:: CO: Captain, I believe this is your first visit down here since I was assigned. What can I do for you?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: Full recording and look for anything unusual, especially indications of recent solar flares or any unusual radiation emissions.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO/CMO: I am concerned that whatever caused this, can be taken from the planet itself and used as a biological weapon.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: Aye.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doc I have a thought that I want to run by you and see if it is plausible.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow, curious to hear::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I'm not sure... XO/CO: Why doesn't this effect the local population? I still think we may be dealing with a third party here. ::turns to the CO:: CO: Of course...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Not if the populace has adapted to... whatever it is.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Discovered a cure maybe? Perhaps we need to investigate if they vaccinate their children or something.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: Also, use the ships sensors on the lateral arrays to do a full spectrum planetary scan again. Look for unusual radiation signatures or sources in addition to the usual suspects.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Given their technological standing, I highly question the notion of vaccination... but neither is it impossible.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: Aye, there is no abnormal radiation coming from the sun.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: Well, we had to look. We're running out of rocks to turn over here.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: What I am wondering is if it might be possible that there is something in the planet's atmosphere that may protect the local population and when the lab shield went down what ever it was that the infested the observation team may have been let run it course when the shield went back up.
CMO_Redwood says:
::ponders a moment:: CO: It's plausible... very rare, but it is possible.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: If it protected the populace, something like that should have protected the scientists... unless it is again, part of some adaptation.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: What we need is a sample of the air then.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: What make me curious is that the lab would have been on it own atmosphere control thus shielding it from the planets atmosphere till  the shield incident.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I thought the CEO said all the systems were reset.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO/XO: All I am saying is that we can't rule out the possibility that this 'thing' that protects the populace is sentient. I have no proof of that yet, but we need to keep all theories open.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: I have the CEO going over the atmosphere records of both the lab and the planet before the accident.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Do we know why the shields went down in the first place?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: lifts a brow::  CMO: Symbiotic?  ::Sigh::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::looks over the data files on the chair screen as she sits in the Big Chair waiting on events::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Possible, or perhaps we weren't the only people down there hiding.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: It happened during  a routine diagnostic more than likely a relay failure.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly::  CMO:  I was not thinking that.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: That's a pretty big thing to go wrong. Surely the redundant systems would kick in with back-ups?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: They did and that is why the shield went back up. however even the back ups take a few seconds to kick in.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*SO*:  Check the records for any other expeditions to this planet, both Federation and other.  Then scan the planet for any foreign metals.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: *XO*: Aye. Checking the records now.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Well just a few seconds may have been enough. ::shakes his head:: CO/XO: We're missing a big piece of the puzzle here and we can only theorize until we get more data.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Bridge to Captain. Sorry to report there are no leads, Sir. No unusual radiation or activity from the local star, and nothing in or out of the blind on atmospheric scans. We are running out of rocks to turn over, Sir. Right now we are getting that other probe ready and scanning the planet for radiations.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Just make me wonder that if they had left the shields down that they may still be alive today.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Roger good work. Keep us informed.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. The probe should be ready shortly, will launch it ASAP.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: I wish I could give you a definite answer. I'd like to volunteer to go down in a hazard-suit inside the base to get more clues.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: Look for periodic comets.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*XO*: Aye Ma'am.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: Ma'am, I got something you should look at.  ::Puts a video on the screen::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at the doctor::  CMO: Risky... especially if caught.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps away from the desk to turn and look at the video.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: Do an astrometric scan of the system to look for comets or asteroids on irregular orbital paths and see if any were in the area when the blind had problems please.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: We may have to do that yet but lets hold off for right now.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO/CO: From what I have been told, the shield is back up now and I'm not about to go knocking it back down.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::looks at the screen::
CMO_Redwood says:
::nods acceptance to the CO:: CO: IN that case, I'll keep racking my brains up here.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The view screen shows a close up of a human male working on an axe when it slips and cuts his arm.  The rest of the villagers rush over and wrap it.  They remove the wrap and the wound is gone.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: What about the observation post... are there no surveillance tapes of the immediate area, or even any cameras pointed at the settlement?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: That is true but the shield was back up when the observation team died.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Yes, they have those
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO/CMO*: We just saw something in the settlement you folks should see. SO: Route a playback of that to Sickbay.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Perhaps we should go over the videos of when the shield went down.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Reaches over and inputs the time frame in question.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: Yes, ma'am  ::Reroutes the video to sickbay::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Launches the Class V probe to check out the planet when she sees it's ready to go::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: moves over and turn on the view screen in sick bay:: *CEO*: Roger
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: At the same time, activates another monitor to watch the bridge download::
CMO_Redwood says:
::turns to view the video:: XO/CO: My God... think of the medical advances... the people seem to take it for granted. Look, the wounded one doesn't even panic.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Whatever it is that protects this planet it is very good.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Reminds me of the Baku...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO/CMO: Something in the wrap?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Has Science monitor all the probes both around the star and the planet while she continues to supervise ship activity and keeps command::
CMO_Redwood says:
::shrugs helplessly and getting slightly frustrated being at a loss::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: It could be.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO/CO: But a wound and a virus that can change the genetic make-up are two entirely different things. ::shakes his head::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Planetary survey probe launched Sir. Science is monitoring all the telemetry and we are continuing full spectrum scans with ships sensors of the planet. I'll let you know if we turn up anything.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: I wonder if there could be something to their beliefs in this God Zeus that may have something to do with this.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Could we get a lock on one of those clothes and discreetly beam it aboard?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Have it check for anything not native to the planet as well.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Will do Captain.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*SO*: Check the area for metaphasic radiation.
CMO_Redwood says:
CO: Now there’s a thought. What was Zeus the God of... the sky and weather... so if it is something in the sky, the atmosphere, that would explain why they believe what they do.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Adds a task to the probe by telemetry to scan for anything that appears to be non-native to Yolandis II::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: It is possible however it may take some time to do it discreetly.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: That is assuming that the king of their gods is the same as the king of Earth's Greek gods.  You yourself mentioned it was probably only being used as an analogy.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Has the probe land near the blind to take soil and atmosphere samples and analyze them::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: It also make me wonder it there isn't a ship some where out there slightly out of phase with our time.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO/CMO: We have too many possible theories.
CMO_Redwood says:
::opens his mouth and closes it without speaking before sitting down:: CO: So many ideas, what should we work on?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief when you get a chance try and transport one of those cloths that the locals used on the wound to sick bay.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We could create a couple of teams and have each of them work on a different theory.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Maxwell>: CEO: After analyzing the soil samples, there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO* : And chief do it discretely.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: I'll see what I can do Sir.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: All right, have it check in several other places, just keep it out of sight of any of the locals.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: You and the doctor work on the atmosphere possibilities and I will work on the ship possibility.
CMO_Redwood says:
::nods to the CO and turns silently to his console::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Moves over to the Engineering console and brings up a Transporter control screen, then attempts to locate the cloth that was used on the wounded man and lock onto it::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: We will try and get one of those cloths as well.
CMO_Redwood says:
::nods again::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I will be on the bridge if you need me. :: turn and heads out of sick bay::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: steps off the TL onto the bridge:: CEO: Report.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns to watch the captain, then back to the doctor.::  CMO: I love field work... being in the field.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
ALL: Captain on the Bridge!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
All: As you were
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Nothing to report so far Sir, soil and atmospheric scans are all negative so far. I got a lock on that cloth they used on that wounded man. I'm hoping it has a blood sample on it also. I'm ready to beam it into the Sickbay quarantine field.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger stand by.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Standing by Sir.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sends the doctor to take a break as he is looking a bit peaked::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Maintains the transporter lock and waits::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
MO: Jeddi, where are you?  Have you discovered anything more on what we have so far?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Cmdr we have the cloth that they used on the wound. Set up a quarantine field and we will transport it in.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Understood... give me a moment...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Moves to the back lab to set up an area::  *CO*:  Set.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Walks into the room and looks around::  XO: Where is our favorite doctor?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the CEO:: *XO*: Roger transporting in now
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
MO: Our favorite?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Initiating transport. ::activates the transporter::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The surveillance footage shows a slight flicker as the cloth disappears.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Smiles and shrugs and he moves toward the back of the room::  XO: Anything interesting?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The cloth is beamed on board inside the field.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
MO: That is what we are going to find out.  Standard procedures.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Transport complete.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the flicker:: CEO: Chief that should happen right.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Watching the transport in and then seals an area around it.::  XO: It is a piece of cloth.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir... it does have to dematerialize, even on foreign planets.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: touch of teasing sarcasm::  MO: Nothing wrong with your observational skills, Jeddi.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Beginning the scans, keeping his face straight::  XO: Of course not.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Yes the cloth should but he video should run smooth not flicker during the transport.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: What you saw was the cloth dematerializing Sir, the video was fine.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Taps a vacuum control to take the air out of the field into another section for study.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Lets hope so but with the way thing have gone in this investigation I don't rule out anything.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: whistles through is teeth::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
MO: What?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I tried to be as sneaky as I could, Sir. If it took our surveillance to find it and we knew where to look, I doubt the locals noticed it.
MO_Jeddi says:
XO: The blood samples on this cloth are regenerating themselves quickly.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: We will find out soon enough if they do. Hopefully that isn't the only on they have.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow as she looks over::  MO:  Something on the cloth feeding it?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the last of the air is 'sucked' out, she taps another control to start testing the air sample from around the cloth.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Be a pretty sorry settlement with only one bandage Captain. ::chuckles:: I chose the one they used and tossed out not only because of the chance to snag a blood sample, but I didn't figure folks would keep track of their trash too closely.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
SO: Anything on that check for comets or asteroids on irregular orbital paths in the area?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: One never knows. But we can only work with what we have. Good job.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Shakes his head::  XO: Nope... looks to be a simple standard weave... looks to be from some kind of animal... woolish in nature.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I try my best, Sir. You have enough on your plate already.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Smiles::  MO: Woolish huh?  :: Looking at her information::  hmmm....
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Leans over::  XO: Whatchya got?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: See if you and also modify the sensors to possible scan for a ship that may be out of phase or in a temporal flux.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
XO: Not quite certain...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  We have something, though not quite sure what.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I can modify the ships sensors to do a scan for tachyons and antiprotons Sir, the most common things a cloak puts off. I'll also do subspace scans to check for bubbles or displacements.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::modifies the sensors and begins the scans::

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger let me know when you have something for sure.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: I have something registering similarities to the metaphasic radiation... but not a radiation itself.  We are going to need to do some testing... and we will need a clean, unfiltered sample.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: I don’t really think it is cloaked just our of phase with our space.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
MO: I think we might be looking at some kind of antibody... yours to play with.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: smiles::  XO:  ahhh... a new toy.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I'll check just to make sure Sir. I'll look into all the sneaky possibilities, including ships hiding behind objects and in the magnetic poles and such.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: So you want us to get another one and not run it through the transport filters?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Not the cloth... air sample.  And it will need to be taken near the surface of the planet.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: I have the probe down on the planet taking soil and air samples. So far, nothing unusual Sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger we will do what we can.
