Captain's Log 10909.06

We have been ordered to meet with the USS Ulysses and pick up a cargo of viruses to transport to Star base 72. As these are deadly viruses they are contained in a special container which keeps them from mutating and growing as well as keeping them alive. Hopefully we will have no problems with this however I am not making any bets on it. 

End Log.

CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Got a minute Sir?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Yes what can I do for you?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Down in the cargo bay going over the security.::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
<going>
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: I think I've come up with a plan to keep the little buggers in check as we transport them, and I wanted to run it by you. ::hands over the PADD::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::sits down::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: takes the PADD and looks it over:: CEO: These look good. Take them to the XO down in the cargo bay and see if she can use them.

XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Makes a circuit of the area as the security officer points out areas that should be cleared.  Nodding, she simply adds them to her list for OPS::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<SBOPS>: COM: Arondight: This is Base Operations, you are cleared to leave.  All lanes are open/
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir, will do. ::heads for the TL:: CMO: Doc, you might want to come along, since this is a Medical issue as well as an Engineering one.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Your station all set for departure?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CO: Sickbay is all ready for departure, Sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Ready when you are, sir...... I'm currently going over the quarantine procedure, sir.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CO: Everything is ready when you are below decks Captain, all systems are online, and board is green.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> COM: SBOPS: Roger we should be leaving shortly.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: You coming Doc?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: Yes, Chief. ::stands up and heads over::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger if you want then turn your station over to the Duty TO and get some sleep we will call you if we need you.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Waits for the CMO to board the TL:: TL: Cargo bay 6.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
Sec: All right... I have that.  What about force fields?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: Don't think the Captain heard me. ::shrugs::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: He heard you, he's just busy and sometimes doesn't acknowledge you.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: We are cleared to leave the station.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: Well that makes it feel better then, doesn't it.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting>XO: Well, we have the ships standard force fields, commander, but we are also installing portable ones as back ups
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to OPS:: FCO: Ensign take us out.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye-aye, sir, ::hands over Tactical to duty TO and heads for his quarters::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: Life in the big leagues Doc. If it doesn't involve shooting or moving or communicating, it rarely gets acknowledged unless it stops shooting, moving, or communicating. ::smirks::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
Sec:  Good.  While we have only one container and it is a good size... any suggestions to location once we have the area cleared?  I keep seeing it in the middle, but that seems... :: shrugs::  your thoughts?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Doc have you gotten with the XO about the viruses we are to pick up?

Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>: CO: Aye, Captain.  1/4 impulse power
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Walks off the TL and heads for cargo bay 6::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: I wish we knew more about this container. I'm convinced something is going to go wrong.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: That's why I asked you along Doc, to hear my plan and get feedback.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*CO*: I'm heading down there as we speak, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Roger Doctor.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting>XO: Well, I rather see it in a corner, that way we don't have to drain that much power, ma’am
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods to the CEO to go ahead::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Walks into cargo bay 6:: XO: Commander, I have a plan for you and Doc here to look over to secure the cargo. ::hands over the PADD:: Captain says it looked good and to give it to you.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
Sec:  Alright... let’s go ahead and get started...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO; Once we clear the markers take us to warp 6.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns slightly as the CEO Joins them, taking the PADD with a smile toward her and Oday::  CEO:  What did you have in mind?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::smiles back::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::enters his quarters and aims and hits the bed::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I looked at it from the safety standpoint. First, we clear the bay completely. Next, we place the container by the outer doors. ::points:: Once it's secured to the deck, we decompress the bay completely and erect level 10 force fields all around it. This way, nothing gets in, and if anything gets out, it's contained.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods::  CEO:  We are working on the clearing aspect... You suggest the door so we can quickly send it out if need be?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
Sec:  Thoughts?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: That's a good plan. We'll run constant scans.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<sec-J'ting>XO: I agree with the Lieutenant, ma'am, but you might notify Commander Exeter if he agrees, ma'am
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: Yes Ma'am. Worst case, we open the bay doors and use the cargo tractor to dump the whole package over the side. ::nods::
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>: CO: Aye, Captain.  Course and speed laid in.  Engaging warp drive
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
Sec:  That is why he sent me you.  :: smiles::  Go ahead and check in.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight warps away.

CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO/CEO: Yes, the medical safety of the crew far supersedes that of keeping the container.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: I set up the plan with General Order 24 in mind Doc. ::winks::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:; watched the view screen as they go to warp:: FCO: ETA to the Ulysses?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
All:  Alright... I will have operations get onto this.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::manages a smile as everyone plans for medical safety for him::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Do you need to do anything with the force fields?  J'ting was telling me they also have portable ones... I was thinking we should have those for backups as well.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I'll get a team in here to double check all the seals and the force field emitters so we know all the gear is ready.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO Flight>: CO: With our current speed, we will reach them in 2 1/2 hours.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Good.  Anything else you need?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Keep an eye out for any unwanted ships in the area.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO/CEO: If something bad happens, anyone effected by the virus, or even suspected to, will immediately be quarantined where they were infected.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: No Ma'am. Cargo bays already have force field emitters in them in case we need to modify the bay for special environments or atmospheres, or for loading bulk cargo by the bay doors instead of transporters.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<TO-Brown> CO: Aye, sir ::trying to find the right buttons and smiles when he does find it::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Use security as needed.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: glances as those around her::  All:  If I am not needed, I am heading for the bridge.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I recommend we place a team on guard outside the hatch just as a precaution, since the bay will be decompressed, it's a safety issue.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<sec-J'ting>CEO: We already have the normal force fields ready and are placing the portable emitters now, lieutenant just as back up.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  Agreed. J'ting is in charge of that.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: Backups are good too, can't have too many force fields. Once you set the portables up set them for remote and we'll activate them if the mains fail.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::nods::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the CEO and security work out the details, she motions for the doctor to join her as she begins to leave.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I'll keep an eye on things here if you like Commander. I can get it all sorted for you.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<sec-J'ting>CEO: That's what Exeter order us to do. I was thinking of having a bio-hazard team in the cargo bay if all systems fail so they could incinerate the whole container.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::turns to walk with the XO, nodding to the CEO as he does so::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CEO:  I think we have the logistics sorted out, it is the details.  Thanks...
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: I was thinking our best bet is to open the outer doors and flush the whole thing out into space, it's the most positive method.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting>CMO: Doctor, do you have a minute, sir
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: I'll keep you posted Ma'am.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-j'ting> CEO: With an all systems failure, we would needs somebody to open the cargo bays manually.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Starts helping the OPS folks get the cargo moved out of the bay, by moving to run the cargo transporter::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods with a smile and continues out to the nearest lift.::  CMO:  Any thoughts yourself?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: I was thinking if we had too we could use the explosive bolts on the hatch to blow it out, or we could use the cargo tractor to rip it off if we are in a hurry.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::caught between two people:: J'Ting: Yes, what is it? ::gestures to La'i to hold on::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: pauses and looks back at the security officer.::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Starts to beam out the remaining cargo into the other bays where space has been arranged for it::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Cmdr how much longer before you are ready for the cargo?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-j'ting> CMO: Well, sir, if we incinerate the container in case  the worst happens would the ship still be in danger. Incinerating it would take 20 seconds, sir
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Summons an Engineering team to the cargo bay to double check all the systems::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
J’Ting: And? ::genuinely not sure what he wants to know::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting>: Well, how fast can this virus spread is it more or less then those 20 seconds
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: Do you fellas have one of those portable phaser guns in the armory? The ones you set up on planets for heavy fire support? If you did just set it up in here pointed at the container and remote activate it. Poof, no more container. ::smiles::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
J'ting:  It would depend if there was anyone nearby at the time... and we will also have to consider if any of the viruses can live in a vacuum.  There are a few.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CTO: Most viruses don't take long to spread. That's why we have all these safety measures.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting> CEO: Well, we do... something about Commander Exeter and his toys, ma'am, you need a weapon any kind He has one in the armory.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: Correct me if I'm wrong Doc, but nothing can spread in a hard vacuum, right? That was the point of decompressing the cargo bay.

CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
JTing: The only other.... wait... thank you. I had an epiphany. XO/CEO/JTing: If the bay is not decompressed, we should have environmental controls keep this room at a low temperature.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
CEO: And yes, of course, you are right.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
CMO: That's what I thought. Decompress the bay, take no chances.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
XO: Give me 30 minutes to get the rest of this cargo out of here and check the systems Ma'am, and we should be ready for the package.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
All: Okay then. Glad we fixed that. ::gestures to XO to continue::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods to the CEO and resumes walking with the doctor::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting>ALL: Seems the logical choice to me. CEO: You still need that Weapon, lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: Well, since we are going for overkill here, why not? I'm sure it will make your boss happy to have another option and a toy to play with. ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Cmdr we will be meeting with the Ulysses in about 2 hours will you be ready by then?
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps into the lift::  CMO:  Once we know of the contents, we may need to take one more step if we evacuate the container.... if there are any viruses in there that can handle the vacuum of space, our CTO is going to need to do some target practicing.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting> CEO: Well, I'll have it placed here, might take 20 minutes...... 10 minutes according to the manual.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Aye captain... the situation is in good hands.  The CEO believes the set up will take no more then 30 minutes.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Agreed. If it's so dangerous... why doesn't the Ulysses pick it up themselves?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Roger That is good to hear.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
J'ting: I told the XO we'd be ready in 30 minutes, so anything less than that will be fine. ::smiles:: Let's not rush it since we don't have a crisis yet. Double check everything.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Contact the Ulysses and let them know when we be at their location.
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  You mean continue the transport?  I have no idea... you might want to see if their CMO knows anything.
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::Finishes beaming out the rest of the cargo from the bay::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting> CEO: Understood ::orders to security officer to head to armory and have the Phaser emplacement installed::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: contacts the Ulysses with their ETA ::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<the>
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Good idea. ::pauses:: You okay?

XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow curiously::  CMO:  In all ways that count... why?
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::As her Engineering team arrives she has them check all the seals in the bay in preparation for decompressing it so there are no leaks, as well as making sure the tractor beam and force field emitters are in perfect working order::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Ulysses responds with an a-ok.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::turns around a few times and goes back to sleep::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain the Ulysses has responded that everything it set on their end and are just waiting for us to show up.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<Sec-J'ting> ::Sees the planetary phaser arrive and starts helping out on the installment::
CEO_Lt_OReiley says:
::helps to check out the portable force field emitters once the bay is clear of cargo::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: watches the stars go by on  the main viewer glad that he has a good crew that can handle everything::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off, waiting for him to explain.  But first she needed to check in::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps over to the captain as he stares out the screen::  CO:  I never seem to tire of that view.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
XO: Was wondering if my headache was all my own, or whether it was yours.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::sleeping quietly in his bed::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<sec-J'ting> Sec-Fazak: where does this go ::holding a power coupling::
XO_Cmd_Mea`e says:
:: shakes her head::  CMO:  Sorry... this one is all yours.
