Captain's Log 10903.29
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Alpha Shift has finely been able to get some much needed rest and while brief it seems to have helped the crew. I have called for a briefing in my Ready Room of the senior Staff that are able to make it to see what exactly we have been able to find out. Exeter for the most part is still resting in sick bay while we find a way to help him.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Escort Mission XIII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sitting in his RR waiting for the rest to show up::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::sitting in sickbay  humming::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Enters the room and grabs a seat, looking over reports on her PADD::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::walks onto the bridge, and across to the ready room, rings the chime::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the chimes:: CMO: Enter
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::walks into the ready room:: CO: Captain. I'm afraid we still don't have much information for you.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: With PADD in hand, slips behind Oday and walks in with him into the RR::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Well hopefully what you have will  help.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the XO as she enters::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Takes one of the seats::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: Sees that they have all arrived:: CEO: Chief you want to start? What have you been able to find from the ship?

CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Captain, the repairs to the ship are almost complete. We are basically just finishing up cosmetic stuff now. All systems are back online and the hull is solid again.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods to the XO as she enters::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Good. Now what about you scans of the other ship?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
ALL: As for the other vessel, it seems to have been made up of materials from many different kinds of alien ships, almost like they scavenged stuff and cobbled it all together to make a ship. So far not much from the computer core, the data was as fragmented as the ship was.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Walks by the CTO's room and looks through the window to see him relatively calm... especially given the last time they had seen him while awake.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Have you been able to determine where it may have come from other than just Romulan space?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO: Cobbled as in creating a new ship or cobbled as a decoy not meant to last?
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Steps up to the comm. system.::  CTO:  How are you feeling this morning?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: As in they pieced it together from scraps Commander. I don't know if they did it as a repair measure or if it was intended that way.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::hears the comm. system and ignores it::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Did you find any of the nanites that left evidence on Exeter::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Sorry Sir, haven't a clue. As I said, the data was very fragmented. We haven't gotten anything out of it but pieces yet.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: So you also haven't been able to get anything from the ships computer systems then?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I didn't bring any of the material aboard the Runabout Commander, just sensor scans. For safety reasons.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Just file fragments Sir. It's tough to piece them together without an index or directory Captain.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::listens in to everyone to get a better idea of what is going on::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Good, keep working on it.
MO_Jeddi says:
CTO: Is there a reason you are ignoring me?  I am quite fine with knocking you out again and continuing my work.  :: Shrugs::  Personally, I was under the opinion you do not like sickbay... but hey... with all the other changes with you, perhaps this is one of them.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Any theories on Exeter as of yet?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::points to himself:: MO: You where talking to me......... as far as I know I'm no CTO
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Texts Wilbur to check on nanites from the debris and security measures for bringing some of it aboard.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: Commander Exeter's brain is being used at an astonishing level. It makes me  think that he is being... what's the word... possessed, but I have no proof for  that. His extra violent tendencies seem to agree with this assumption, but being  such a rare case, it could just be a 
side effect. He seems to know who everyone is and who he is himself. ::shrugs:: I'm not sure what more I can tell you at this moment in time. And time is something we probably don't have much of. Unless whatever is causing this is also supporting Exeter, he'll probably die. 
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>::Begins modifications to the force fields to ensure nothing gets through::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO; The human brain just isn't designed to be so active. It's like having a ship designed to travel warp 9.9 in emergencies, but it can only sustain that for a limited period. I couldn't even tell you what Exeter's limit is. But, rest assured, I won't be giving up. I am going to focus more on the nanites.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Has he become coherent enough to be able to speak with or is he still babbling?
MO_Jeddi says:
:: After a few moments of staring at the man he frowns::  CTO:  Who do you think you are?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: I always found it hard to distinguish that before this incident, but I believe he is coherent enough.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Before Exeter can say anything he collapses on the ground convulsing.
MO_Jeddi says:
*CMO*:  Medical emergency.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Do you have anything to add that might help?
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Motions security over as he goes to the door.::  Security:  Weapons at the ready.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Grabbing his med kit he enters.::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>::Texts the XO back "we have a green light, ready to beam on board"::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter begins to foam up at the mouth as his convulsions get more violent
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: starts foaming at the mouth and starts whining::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::stands immediately and leaves the ready room::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: glances up from her PADD::  CO:  Not at the moment.  However, I would like to beam some of the debris aboard and look at the nanites if they are there.  Nanites have a very specific signature and this might help us with identifying who we are dealing with.  :: Glances at the CMO leaving.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the doctor leave:: CMO: Keep me informed
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::has no time to answer, but thinks the CO should know by now he always does so::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Curses under his breath as one of the nurses joins him and she works on keeping him breathing and from biting his tongue off.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::hastily makes his way to Sickbay::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Scans his biosigns for cause.::

CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO/XO: I'd be against beaming any nanites onto the ship until we know more about them.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Curses even more::  Where the hell did those come from?  *CO*:  Captain, Exeter has nanites within his brain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I will agree to a point Cmdr. Being that we really don't know what we are dealing with I would suggest that you get with the CEO and equip a Runabout with what you need and transport the debris to that rather than bring it on the ship.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::runs into Sickbay and towards Jeddi:: MO: Report.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at the captain::  CO:  We did not pick up any signs of nanites.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: Hears the MO:: *MO*: Make sure those force fields are kept up.
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO:  There are nanites moving up through his brain and he is reacting.  My only suggestion for the moment is to shut down as much of his system as possible or place him in stasis.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Exeter continues to shake, rattle, but however not roll.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CO:  If Exeter has them within him, I do not think we need to go searching.  But I am concerned that we could not pick them up earlier.  We were very careful about that before we moved him and then after.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Well it look like a mute point now. Get with the CEO and make sure all the force fields are kept at a maximum level
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CO:  In other words, how did they avoid detection?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::takes a hypo spray and sedates him first:: MO: That'll at least hold him still so we can examine him. I want a stasis tube ready, stat.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Nods to the nurse to go prepare one.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: That is what we need to find out and see if we can correct  the problem.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Any strange behavior before this triggered?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
::stands::  CO:  As soon as they have him stabilized, I will get a sample down science.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Assists the CMO in getting him back onto the bed.::  CMO:  He was... humming.  I spoke with him, he said he was not the CTO.  I asked him who he was and then this occurred.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief keep close tabs on the power to sick bay we don’t need any power failures there. Understood?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the XO::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Understood Sir. I'll put a crewman on constant monitoring.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Multiple personalities... maybe our possessed theory is correct. Maybe these nanites have sentience.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Under his breath::  CMO:  Just what he needs... or us too for that matter.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Also place a transporter lock on Exeter and if you feel that he posses a threat to the ship don't hesitate to beam him out into space.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Straps the CTO down for his own safety.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at the captain a moment and then nods::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
ALL: Let’s get to it then. :: rises and head for the bridge::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: I still don't understand why our many, many scans didn't detect them earlier. Perhaps they can mimic organic tissue too.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Exiting behind the captain.::  CEO:  If I could have one of those mobile transporter locks, I will send it down to sickbay.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Gets up and heads for the TL::
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO:  If someone can do that...  :: shakes his head::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: Mobile transporter lock Commander?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Or maybe one needs to be set up...  I want medical to be able to make a beam out on the moment.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: There is a first for everything. It's what makes the Doctors get their papers published. ::checks the stasis tube and prepares to activate it::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Slowly and maturely Exeter stops shaking
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO:  I am thinking more along its use as a weapon.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: Just have one of the transporters keep a lock on his biosigns Commander.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: finishes the report he was doing:: OPS: I want this report sent to the Admiral as well as Starfleet command if any thing happens to the ship I want someone else to know what is going on out here.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: sends the report::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  I would prefer a sentient call on a situation then a mechanical one, before sending a man to his death... however, perhaps another idea is in order.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Yes most people do have this annoying way of taking great scientific and medical marvels and making them into weapons. ::activates the stasis tube::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*CO*: Captain, we've had to place Exeter in a stasis tube to hopefully stop the nanites from spreading. I'll keep you informed.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: stepping back monitors::  CMO:  Surgery?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: One of the transporters can be assigned to keep a lock on Exeter's biosigns, Commander, but the transporter chief would still need to conduct the transport.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO* : Roger the XO will be there shortly let her know what has happened.

XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods to the CEO::  CO:  Captain, given the sensitivity of the situation, I would like to have a life pod set up as an immediate beaming point should there be anything suspect.  That will give us a few moments to check things out before consigning our CTO to his maker.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Agreed Cmdr, make it so.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
OPS:  Prepare a life pod... make sure it is empty of everything except life support systems.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*CO*: Aye Sir. MO: Sounds likely, but we need to work out just how to remove them, and if it can be done without killing Exeter.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Aye Cmdr where do you want it placed?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
SO:  Wilbur, it looks like we will not be doing that beaming unless the CEO wants it.  Check with her.  :: steps into the lift.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Takes the TL to Main Engineering::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pokes her head out::  OPS:  Keep it attached to the ship unless we have to go to warp anytime soon.  But if need be, you can hit the button to release it.
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO:  What about a simple transporter lock to remove them?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Aye Ma'am. :: make the necessary arrangements::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Assigns a crewman to monitor the power to the Sickbay systems until told otherwise::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pops her head back inside and orders the lift to medical.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: I thought of it, but we need to see how embedded they are into his brain. We wouldn't want to cause brain damage. Start working on it. 
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO:  I think brain damage is already a given.  :: with a nod exits the room to begin preparation of the small unit used for medical::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sits in the center chair not liking some of the last orders that he has had to give but knows that they need to be given to ensure the safety  of the ship::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops she exits and walks through the double doors, straight back to the isolation room, nodding to a preoccupied Jeddi in passing.::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Nodding a greeting in return to Lai’s he heads back and into the medical supply closet.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps into the room and looks at Oday with a lifted brow.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Gets with her section leaders around the MSD to get a situation report and check systems report::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Finding the unit he wants under cover and in the back he collects it and with it in hand heads for the surgical room to begin set up.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Commander, we are working on a theory now to transport out the nanites. They're hard enough to detect as it is and we have to be sure it wouldn't damage his brain first.

XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Leans back against the wall.::  CMO:  How... How did we miss them?  I was so very careful in making sure there were none before we even allowed him to be brought here?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Assigns another crewman to do a detailed analysis of the scans of the alien ship and its materials to determine where they components came from::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: As was I Commander, and I have run every test in the book since he got to Sickbay. My guess is they can mutate.. perhaps mimic organic skin. Perhaps they are even sentient themselves.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at him a moment.::  *OPS*:  I need a team down to the brig  to set up high radiation flood of the area.  I want anything possibly there irradiated to the nth level.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hopes the medical staff can come up with a  way to save Exeter::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> *XO* : Aye Ma'am. I have a team on their way  they should be there in a couple of minutes.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: The unit set up, he begins to prepare the room for high security protocols::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: If they do have these mutative properties that may not be enough. I am going to try and extract just one of them and examine it closely.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Assigns a team to try and piece together the data fragments from the computer core and make some sense of them::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  If anything goes wrong, Exeter will be beamed immediately to one of the life pods that is being set up for him.  You will then have a very short time to assess the situation.  :: Leaves the rest unsaid, just looking at him.::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Orders another security detail down to medical, informing them they will need to prepare for a surgical situation.::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods:: XO: To do this, I want Sickbay evacuated except for essential personnel. I'm afraid that means you to, Commander.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  Understood.  Is medical currently empty then?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: I had one patient moved to his quarters with a nurse to monitor. Apart from that, there's just been a lot of blue uniforms. And blue skin. ::gestures to a Bolian MO::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: As security arrives, he has them prepped.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  I want you to get two of the nanites.  One for medical to study and one for science.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: I'll try, but no promises. We don't know how Exeter will react, and whether the nanites will consider us a threat.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Goes into her office to fill out reports, supply requests, and check over the repair notices to make sure everything is completed::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Looks around the room.::  *CMO*:  We are ready when you are.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: checks reports feeling helpless in this situation::

CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*MO*: On my way. Evacuate all non essential personnel. I want you there, myself and Nurse Perfeito.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods and pushes away from the wall.::  CMO:  As soon as...  :: leaves the rest unsaid as she knows he will.::  Good luck.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods again as he turns away:: XO: Thank you La'i.
MO_Jeddi says:
*CMO*:  You will have a security inside as well, doc.  They are prepped.  ::goes to follow through with evacuating the rest of medical.::
